Last episode left us with a bit of a cliffhanger as Tamra and Heather questioned Vicki on how Brooks fit into her newfound happiness. Tonight it was revealed that yes, she is dating Brooks and no, she doesn't care what anyone thinks about it - even her own daughter. 

Let's take a step back and remind ourselves that Brooks is the man who said that he wouldn't be trying to get back together with Vicki. On national TV at the reunion! Apparently he's had a change of heart because he told their therapist that Vicki is worth fighting for. Wonder what changed his mind?

Tamra told Vicki she is willing to give Brooks another shot, but then told Heather she doesn't trust him. She knows if she goes against what Vicki says, its her that will be left in the cold. Despite the fact that her daughter Brianna refuses to forgive him, Vicki clearly already has. 

She's moving on in the relationship making it clear that they will be living together soon. She wants Brianna to accept him back into her life, and doesn't want her to make the move to Oklahoma. I'd say she wants to have her cake and eat it too! 

Next week, Vicki confronts Brianna about Brooks and of course it leads to an argument. Stay tuned!
