What the hell were those last 30 seconds of the episode?
Glad theyre still together.
Are we checking in with the rest of the crew?
It might be one in the same.
Bop-ba-do you even know what youre doing to us?
This is unprecedented for several reasons.
Secondly, why are you even giving us a cliffhanger at the end of the season?
We dont have to wait four months to find out what happened.
Do the producers not know that Google exists?
She looks like Trojan Mans hot younger sister.
There are several reasons why Kathryn could not be pregnant.
She might have had an abortion or a miscarriage.
The show is giving us nothing.
Most likely she was never pregnant to start with and this was some kind of mean ploy.
But a ploy to what end?
Its the season finale.
Its not going to make us tune in next week.
After all, were Bravoholics.
So what is the point of this pregnancy non-reveal?
Are they doing this to make us fall in love with Kathryn?
To get us reinvested in her story?
Is this to telegraph that her story is not over so they wont be firing her after this season?
It all seems awful and cynical.
At least in this episode, Kathryn made some progress.
She showed up at dinner time to Pringle and Sheps pool party.
We cannot normalize a 40-year-old man that looks that good shirtless as having a dad bod.
My flabby, middle-aged body and fragile ego just cant take it.
Her defense to O.M.
is basically, You should know Im not racist and should have come out in support of me.
As she says this, Kathryn is staring off into space not even hearing it.
That, right there, is Kathryns problem.
Also, when Other Madison accuses her of minimizing her feelings, Kathryn says, Minimizing your feelings?
Um, no, that is minimizing her feelings.
I mean, you did it right there.
After that talk, Kathryn goes down to the dock with Danni to talk through their problems.
The problem is that she hurt more than just the woman she sent the monkey emoji to.
you’ve got the option to see the wheels turning in her vape-addled brain.
Then Madison shows up.
But she was really wrong about everything this episode.
I think it was maybe the drinking?
Also, she broke up with him.
Thats like yelling at someone who bought the jumpsuit you donated to Goodwill for stealing your clothes.
When she finds out she stalks Austen down in the treehouse where hes hanging with Craig and Shep.
This is the same treehouse where Kathryn and Other Madison had their fight.
This place is cursed with the spirit of a thousand demons.
Sage cant save it.
An exorcism cant save it.
Madison goes out there and tells Austen that hes a Beta bitch, which makes no sense.
Isnt the Alpha the one out there sleeping with all the girls and getting laid?
Shes just looking for an insult to hurt him, not even one that makes sense.
She asks him, Did you not think people would tell me?
Why should he care if they do?
Austen tells her that she loves him one minute and is blowing up at him the next.
He calls it emotional terrorism and hes not wrong.
That is exactly the opposite of what should happen.
(Note to self: Its been too long since Ive had a Big Gulp.)
Luckily, Kathryn does not follow her advice.
She tries to defend herself and does so badly, but finally starts to listen.
She asks them the big question, How can I make people think Im not a racist person?
Other Madison says, You have to do the work.
Dont burden other people with guiding you through.
Read a book or take a class and find out how you could behave better in similar circumstances.
Educate yourself and unite with other people who are trying to make a difference in the world.
Do the work, Kathryn.
It can take a million different forms, but one thing the work is not is denial.
The other thing the work is not is some lame pregnancy scare meant to drum up sympathy.
Thats the opposite of work.
