On this episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra has returns from her trip to Bora Bora and heads out to celebrate with Heather and Gretchen. Interestingly, Tamra called Heather from her trip but Gretchen doesn't get to hear the good news until she's already back. Vicki was invite but hasn't been returning Tamra's calls so the ladies just carry on without her.

They'll all have to see each other (probably under contract by Bravo) at Heather's naming party. Everyone is attendance - all the women, their families, Alexis bring Sarah the drunkard, and even Jeana Keough is in attendance. Oh, let the drama begin!

Things begin with Vicki showing off her new mink coat, which she claims Brooks bought for her. Since he lives in her condo, drives her car, and doesn't have a job, Tamra calls BS on it (and I admit I have to agree). I can't understand why Vicki is willing to sacrifice everything for this guy. I have a feeling things will get real ugly at the reunion when it comes to this touchy subject.

For the most part, the children of the housewives try to stay out of the line of fire. Ryan doesn't want to hear it when Tamra tries to fill him in on the latest gossip, and Brianna politely smiles for pictures with Vicki, even though the two are barely speaking. The same can't be said for Jeana's daughter, Kara, who dons a poncho around Tamra (referring to the wine throwing incident from last year). The two end up having it out, and Jeana steps in to get to the bottom of their falling out. Amazingly, Tamra and Jeana end up hugging it out and telling each other they love each other. Tamra can hardly control her tears! A truce for the cameras or real life?

The real drama, though, gets going when Sarah takes the bow off of Heather's cake and eats it because she's hungry. Heather confronts her, with Vicki and Tamra in tow, but Alexis jumps in to defend her. How can anyone defend Sarah, seriously? She's drunk and obnoxious everywhere she goes and should be embarrassed about her behavior. Instead, she's totally rude to Heather and Terry and it's a wonder she't not thrown out of the party. Perhaps on the second half of next week's finale. Fingers crossed!

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on Bravo.
