‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ preview: Tamra Barney tries to mend fences

Monday night’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” episode is going to literally pick up just where the premiere left off, in focusing on the rest of the action that takes place while at Heather Dubrow’s clambake party. In moving forward beyond that, though, we are going to quickly realize that the attempts by Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson to clear the air are not going to be as they would have hoped.

What’s the reason for that? First of all, the video below shows that Vicki is going to break down somewhat over the fact that she has not been able to handle her feelings for a certain past love of her life well based on what everyone else thinks about it, and she lacks the courage to really go with her heart and stand by her decision. While some of the other housewives believe that this conversation is a good thing, who knows if it will really get them anywhere in the long run?

After this discussion ends, the Housewives all end up going home, and it turns out that we are also going to see Tamra face more questioning on Vicki’s behavior from Eddie. For more on that, we turn to the official synopsis for the episode below:

“Heather’s clambake continues, where Vicki’s facial “tweaking” becomes the topic of catty gossip. After a confrontation and tear-filled dinner, Vicki and Tamra attempt to repair their lost friendship. Terry’s need to constantly make jokes rubs Heather the wrong way, while Alexis and Jim’s ballroom dancing lesson rub them the right way. Gretchen visits Slade at the radio station to support his new endeavors, and Tamra gets more than she bargained for when Eddie expresses his concerns about Vicki.”
