Meghan is opening her candle shop and just to make sure that the drama unfolds smoothly, she's also serving alcohol. Heather, probably not wanting to be involved in anything, bounces pretty quickly... citing that the smell from the candles is choking her. No one really notices because they're too busy making sure Shannon and Vicki see each other and make the situation as awkward as possible. Shannon takes the bait and opens up the conversation with Vicki, who is cold to respond. They eventually cut through the tension and go at each other in the middle of the candle shop. Where's the calming-scent section? If you find it give it to Meghan. This pregnancy, maybe the loss of one of the fertilized eggs, is causing some depression. She has been seeing a psychiatrist for depression since she was 20 but she feels like even he doesn't understand. Maybe a trip to Ireland to continue research on her and Jimmy's ancestry will boost her mood? The ladies are in so buckle up.

"Lucky for Adeline she has a mother who is an expert in organic, non-toxic, latex, hypoallergenic, demagnetized, chemical-free mattresses." You can actually sense the sarcasm in Shannon's tone on this one. Although, she is actually 100% serious. Now that they have moved into their rental, it's time to decontaminate the place so that she and her family stay as healthy as possible. Something that she also needs to detox from, her issues with Vicki. The one to help her is Heather, but now there is conversation around "secrets" that Vicki knows Shannon has. Secrets even Kelley is privy to.

Heather and her husband, Terry, are releasing their book and having a launch party to celebrate. Of course all of the ladies are invited and of course there shall be drama. Where there's cocktails there's fights and Shannon and Vicki aren't done. Or are they? Shannon seems to be ready to move on because she's joking and having a great time at the book party... with Vicki. Not having a good time? Kelly. Because her husband is really enjoying the alcohol and embarrassing her by being extra friendly with other females and acting slightly belligerent. Something Kelly says she either has to accept or divorce. That trip to Ireland can't come soon enough.
