We begin this episode with Kristen "geo-crashing." After Heather mocked her in the woods, Kristen retreated to the cabin, upset that her friend didn't support her.

There was much discussion of what makes someone a good hostess. Sonja thinks neither Carole or Kristen got that gene. Meanwhile, Ramona does her best to make the best of it. "I'm stuck here. Unless my friend with this private plane comes and gets me. But I already pulled that one in the Berkshires. I don't think I'm allowed to do it twice with these girls. They'll never forgive me."

Did you ever see such a sight as Ramona Singer trumpeting your arrival with the promise of cold beers with limes? Ramona just wants to make sure everyone has their refreshments, even if Kristen is a "sh-- ass hostess."
10183856
LuAnn is game for a cold beer -- and so are the rest of the ladies. Perhaps, they've already had a few though, since Ramona was nearly killed whilst tripping over a stray boot. Maybe there was too much comfort at that "Comfort Station."
10183861
Carole goes to the other cabin to check on Kristen, who in her own words "needs a good cry."
10183866
Kristen doesn't understand why everyone come if they were just going to complain the whole time.
10183876
Carole thinks these women can be "confusing and overwhelming." That might be the biggest understatement of all time. But Carole's advice helps Kristen feel a bit better. For now the best plan is to take a break and then go "glamping."

After rousing Sonja from a deep sleep, the ladies make it to their glamour tents. Ramona's excited because she's ready to have "another experience." Everything Ramona does seems like "another experience" to us.
10183886
Heather tries to break the ice with Kristen by throwing out a casual "move over bitch." This creates a bitch standoff. "Are you really calling me a bitch?" retorts Kristen. "If you want me to," says Heather. So icy!
10183891
Heather belives it was a friendly bitch thing. "Do you want to make it a big deal?" Heather's getting some "icky anger" from Kristen's face, but all we can see is her fabulous fur.
10183896
Kristen feels like Heather needs to let go -- and then to let go of this situation for now. . . We'll have to see who the boss is at dinner.
10183901
Ramona is taking the Montana bull by the Montana horns. She think she's been doing most of the hosting work, what with the comfort station and the heaters. LuAnn thinks Ramona is acting a bit like a "diva brat," but Ramona lost her voice from the stress! Kristen's thought -- "Ramona can go f--- herself."
10183906
Sonja doesn't agree with the way LuAnn handles her candles, but they've been friends for almost a decade. They are just two wicked stepsisters who can't agree on how to handle wax. Say what you will about LuAnn's height, but there's a soft center at the middle of that statuesque frame.
10183911
And then the bossy talk comes back again. . . Kristen thinks Heather controls every aspect of her life -- and that she should just admit it. So Heather stands up on the chair and confesses to her bossy crimes.
10183916
But her goofy acceptance is not enough, and Kristen keeps going -- and says Heather is bossy at home. Once Heather's husband comes into it, the "mama bear" instinct comes out. She suggests Kristen stops really fast.
10183921
Kristen's not ready to wipe everyone's butt on this trip -- and so she's out.
10183926
Alternate hostess Ramona, the surprise diplomat, goes to try to bring Kristen back to dinner. Shockingly the ladies start to bond over Heather's husband's "plainness." At least Kristen is connecting with Ramona over something. . .
10183931
The next morning Kristen calls Josh for a little encouragement, but Josh defends Heather just a bit. People with Type A personalities have to stick together.
10183936
The ladies head for the rodeo, perhaps a touch overdressed and ready for some "Rocky Mountain Oysters." After failing to find the VIP section, the ladies take in the sights form the cheap seats. Someone get Sonja a hot dog.
10183941
On a run to the port-a-potties, Kristen vents to Carole. Carole tries to defend Heather. She thinks that Kristen might be throwing stones from a glass house when it comes to talking about someone else's marriage.
10183946
This is Kristen's face when Carole suggests that she apologize to Heather. . . Hmm, maybe that isn't likely. She's not sorry for what she said -- according to her it's the truth.
10183951
LuAnn visits Kristen to see if she's prepared for their final dinner. She thinks that Heather's personality isn't necessarily a fault -- but that they can sort it all out at the chuck wagon.
10183956
Wise words, you can always sort it out at the chuck wagon.
10183961
And then Ramona meets the tallest man she's ever seen -- Ranch hand Tom. "He's like as tall as going up to the clouds. Huge. I went up to his belly button."
10183966
The ladies then tried their hand at throwing hatchets (once someone told Sonja she had to leave the cowboys alone). Everyone did surprisingly well -- considering they had never thrown literal knives before.
10183971
Well Sonja did OK. . . .LuAnn's reaction tells the story.
10183976
At dinner, Ramona played peacemaker -- and forced Heather and Kristen to have a chat. You can't go home without everyone trying to make up.
10183981
Heather thinks Kristen was "meanie meany girl" and that she needs to leave her marriage out of this -- and adjust her tone. But Kristen just thinks she should be able to voice her opinion.
10183986
Eventually, the ladies agree to disagree. Kristen apologizes and they hug it out. Ramona's right -- you can't leave Montana in a huff!
10183991
And back to NYC they go. No word on if those cowboys were ever the same again.
