The Hurricane Has a Name, and It’s Sharon
If Anita thought she could just sip sweet tea and wait for the past to stay buried, she clearly forgot who Sharon is. The original diva of Dupree Manor finally touched down in Fairmont Crest and, honey, she brought the storm with her. Anita nearly faints when the doorbell rings, only to find Tracy — not the thunderclap in heels she was expecting. Tracy assures her Sharon’s just "resting" at the hotel, but then off she goes to Orphey Gene’s to poke the bear solo. Bold choice.
Tracy tries to play peacemaker over dinner, but Sharon’s not here for fairy tales or fake forgiveness. When Tracy drops the "Anita wants to see you" bomb, Sharon shuts it all the way down. “If they thought this was gonna be some kind of sweet family reunion, they’ve got another thing coming,” she snaps.
By the time Sharon actually shows up at Anita’s door, she’s already loaded with shade and ready to fire. “Do I need an engraved invitation or special booties to get inside this palace?” she sneers. Anita better brace herself — Sharon's not leaving until someone grovels.
Dani’s Horsey Confession Sends Pamela Reeling
Meanwhile, Dani’s morning starts off with a killer hangover and ends in romantic sabotage. Pamela, ever the matchmaker, introduces Dani to a handsome mystery man named Adam, and Dani dives right into scouting him like he’s the next face of their modeling agency. Teeth, skin, posture — no part of him escapes scrutiny. That is, until she finds out it’s a date, not a job interview. Cue the panic.
Pamela suggests Dani get back in the dating game, and that’s when Dani finally lets it slip: “If you must know, I already have a horse, thank you, and I am enjoying the ride.” Translation? She and Andre are a thing. And apparently, he’s not just a snack — he’s a full five-course meal with dessert, because Pamela practically demands a play-by-play. While Dani swears Pamela to secrecy, even she knows this love affair won’t stay under wraps for long.
Andre Plays It Cool, But Ted Knows Better
Andre isn’t exactly shouting his situationship with Dani from the rooftops either. He pops in on Ted, who’s busy being everyone’s reluctant therapist, and lets him in on two secrets: one, he and Dani are vibing, and two, Kat’s got even more receipts proving Leslie may have tried to kill Laura. Ted pretends to be chill, but let’s be real — this is BTG. Secrets are currency.
Ted tries to stay Switzerland, but he gently warns Andre not to blow it. Between Ted and his brother Bill, the Dupree ladies have already had enough romantic disasters to last a lifetime. Ted then switches gears to send Nicole a flower bomb of an apology, complete with a sappy note. She melts faster than an ice cream cone in July and even tucks a bloom behind her ear. Clearly, the drama has layers this week.
Kat’s Evidence Wall Is Giving FBI Realness
Over in sleuthing central, Kat is basically one cork board away from taking down Leslie for good. While sorting donation clothes with Mona, Kat casually mentions she walked in on Ted and Leslie at the hotel. But Nicole strolls in mid-convo, so Kat pivots and pulls out her real bombshell — more evidence against Leslie.
First, she finds a parking ticket in a leather jacket. But not just any ticket — one linked to a motorcycle near the warehouse with the missing security footage. Coincidence? Please. Then there’s a café receipt for someone named “Cherrie C.” Sound familiar? That’s because Leslie used “Sherry Carter” when she played pretend with Nicole’s psyche. And the thrift store receipt? Another direct tie to Leslie. Kat isn’t just connecting the dots — she’s drawing Leslie’s mugshot.
Leslie’s Lies Are Closing In — Fast
And what is our resident chaos queen doing while her empire crumbles? Shoving her biker Barbie gear into bags and blasting music like she’s not one bad decision away from being exposed. Eva walks in mid-disposal, but Leslie doesn’t even clock it. Rookie move.
Eva keeps quiet for now, but not before calling out her mother for lying about the Laura situation and choosing manipulation over motherhood. Leslie doesn’t miss a beat, guilt-tripping her daughter like it’s a sport. “Kicking you out was the best decision I ever made,” she sniffs, like she’s proud of being the worst.
Unfortunately for her, she should’ve been watching her back — because Eva doubles back later to snoop through the apartment. And with Leslie’s lies unraveling and Kat one clue away from blowing it all up, the countdown to Leslie’s downfall has officially begun.
Watch your back, Leslie. The gates are closing in.
