As I said before, I'm new to RHOC and I'm not sure if I really care for Vicki. She seems like a total sweetheart and a ball of fun, but she's clearly choosing a man over her daughter! 

She knew when she got back with Brooks that Briana wasn't going to be pleased with her, and she didn't care. So tonight she headed over to her daughter's house to let her know that she's once again beginning a relationship with Brooks, the man who was caught on tape telling her husband he should beat her. 

Vicki started off with saying that she didn't speak to Brooks for two months after everything went down and Briana stopped her right there, reminding her about a dinner date that Vicki denied. Sensing where her mother was going with the conversation, she told her to just "say it" if she was back with Brooks. So she did. 

Briana said in her interview that she feels that Brooks has taken over Vicki's life, and in turn, she gets pushed aside. It's so sad that she feels that way about her mother! When Briana mentioned Vicki's previous abusive relationships and indicated that she thought the situation with Brooks was another abusive situation, things got ugly. Vicki insisted that in no way was Brooks abusive, and grew frantic and angry at Briana for even saying it. 

Next week Brooks is back on the show and the other new girl Lizzie finally shows up. Stay tuned!
