So this is the New Year, and the women ofRHOSLCdont feel any different.
Even the fights are starting to feel flat, as Olivia noted in herrecap last week.
Whitney brings up Marys comment suggesting the charges against Jen are divine retribution for going against Mary.
These scenarios both feel unlikely.
Regardless of who told the feds what, Jen is determined to be canonized before the trial.
I winced when she revealed she was cashing out her retirement accounts to help pay for Jens legal defense.
But lets put Jens legal troubles out of our mind its time for the Wild Rose launch party.
Unaware of the shitstorm headed her way, Mary is very fixated on the lack of a coat check.
It feels like Im being forced, Meredith complains, and yes, thats called a contractual obligation.
Jennie wastes no time pulling everyone into a separate room to confront Mary with an audience present.
When Jennie shares that she was offended by Mary complimenting her slanted eyes, Mary seems genuinely baffled.
I love slanted eyes, she offers.
Somehow the conversation gets worse from there.
As Mary looks around for support, she asks if anyone else knew that comment was offensive.
In their confessionals, the women are largely willing to call it racist.
I just wouldnt say it.
Nothing is resolved, naturally, because Mary and Meredith walk awayagain.
But you need that conflict and the equally important conflict resolution to keep the train chugging along.
Its even more frustrating when the drama is about something that actually matters.
