At Heather's clambake, The Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki and Tamra finally come face to face after months of not speaking to one another. Vicki decides to approach Gretchen and Tamra first for some quick hugs and pleasantries before darting off. The minute she's out of earshot, Gretchen and Tamra carry on about Vicki's plastic surgery as well as he "ex"-boyfriend Brooks. No one is really sure whether or not the two are still together, but the ladies are guessing there's more to the story than Vicki is letting on.

During dinner, Heather makes the mistake of seating Vicki and Tamra across from each other. When Gretchen asks about Brooks, Vicki finds an opportunity to take a shot at Tamra and say she's giving them the evil eye. Oh, if I never hear the phrase evil eye again, it won't be too soon! Tamra gets accused of not being there for Vicki during her divorce, causing her to storm off in tears. Heather has to reign her back in and convince her to stay for the rest of the party.

Downstairs in the rec room, Vicki and Tamra literally lock themselves in the wine cellar to talk things out... sort of. Both apologize to one another, but it's clear they don't trust each other and are hesitant to become close again. Meanwhile, Heather is off getting annoyed with Terry for just about everything he does or says, which reminds me of Adrienne and Paul of Beverly Hills. Could there be trouble in paradise for the Dubrows?

Alexis, who was left off the invite list for Heather's party, headed out on a date night with Jim to go ballroom dancing. The couple appears much happier than I've ever seen them before, perhaps because they're away from all the negativity. They've also opened up an indoor trampoline park together called Sky Zone, and she's the spokesperson for it. When Fox 5 comes out to cover the event, it's clear there's no bad blood between them, though I'm still not sure she wasn't let go from the station.

Tamra and Eddie celebrate the approval of her fitness center by the zoning committee but she can't get her conversation with Vicki out of her mind. He warns her that nothing good can come from the two being friends again, and Gretchen echoed those sentiments earlier after Heather's party. Should the women kiss and make up or should they stay as far away from one another as possible?

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
