Whenever one of The Real Housewives of Orange County decides to get all of the women together for an evening or even worse, a weekend trip, they better expect there to be lots of drama. There's no way this group can get together without someone having an issue and Lydia's trip to Whistler, Canada is no exception. Before they leave, Alexis buys Lydia a gift to "protect" her from the other women - a Swarovski crystalized bible. Really???

In the van ride to the hotel, Heather announces that she's going to have to leave early (lucky her) because she has to film her part on Malibu Country. Unable to resist the urge, she asks Gretchen about the nonexistent part she was offered, and then Alexis chimes in, saying she was offered a part as well. Fox Five flashback alert, Fox Five flashback alert!

At the Four Seasons in Whistler, Lydia introduces the women to her Uncle Greg, who is both similar in age to her and handsome. The women suggest that he go out on a date with Vicki, but he laughs it off and makes a quick exit. I'm trying to figure out why Lauri and Vicki are acting like best friends, sitting together, hugging, toasting... but don't worry. Tamra will see to it that the party breaks up real quick.

On the ski slopes, Tamra tells Vicki everything that has been said about her so she first confronts Gretchen, who Lauri spilled everything to in the first place. The word "hypocrite" makes a comeback, just in case you missed hearing it, and Vicki finally admits to cheating on Don when they were married. Next up, Vicki goes after Lauri, saying that she's lying and spreading filth, as well as threatening to reveal her own dirt. After the two are separated, Vicki literally screams at the top of her lungs about the situation and if I were the other women, I'd be embarrassed.

I'm just left wondering whose side Tamra is really on and feel bad for poor Lydia, who just tried to plan a nice trip for everyone. Next time, leave some of these crazies home!
