This episode picks up right where last week's left off -- Shannon went to Tamra's house to talk about an email David explaining he wants to move out of the house. It was a very tense situation.

Having just gone through a divorce herself, Tamra felt bad for Shannon.
10178896
And then things got even worse. Shannon showed Tamra a text explaining that, somehow, Heather found out about the email. But Tamra is the only person Shannon told. Something's up here.

Another day, another accolade for Vicki Gunvalson. Vicki shared her latest award over the phone with Brooks as they planned their upcoming getaway to Mexico.

Things at the Beador house were intense, to the say the least. Shannon had a great idea as to how to fix it...
10178911
So she showed up to Heather's house. It was all pleasantries at first (and a little drinking), but then it was time to get down to it.
10178916
"I wanted to come by to talk to you about something that's been bothering me... A rumor has gotten back to me about an email my husband wrote to me... I was told you knew about it and I just need to find out how it got out there to the world."
10178921
But Heather was confused by this. "I saw you at the door and thought, 'Oh my gosh. Maybe she was in the neighborhood and popped by to apologize.'" Umm, not exactly.
10178926
So the email conversation got sidetracked while Shannon and Heather tried to hash out the Christmas party argument.
10178931
OK, back to the email: "It's interesting to me that you would come to my house and ask me questions about things I may or may not know when I don't really owe you [anything]."
10178936
Shannon replied, "I don't care what people say about me but I have children and you are a mother and what is being told about me is hurtful to my kids."
10178941
Heather doesn't quite say that Tamra told her about the email, but she insisted that this issue was none of her business. Shannon was at a loss for words.
10178946
In a last ditch effort, Shannon tried to convey her emotions: "Heather, you are... You are..." Heather interjected, "Tell me again what I am. Please. Make it worse." Whoa! And with that, Shannon was asked to leave.
10178951
In the car ride home, Shannon called David crying. "If the tables were turned and she came to my home in the state that I was in, I wouldn't have even thought about it. I would have helped her out in a second."
10178956
Yeesh. After all that drama, it's good to see Vicki having a good time with Brooks in Mexico. Well, a mostly good time outside of that lobster in her face.
10178961
Meanwhile Tamra's still trying to convince Eddie that they should have a baby. So she ordered a robot baby to show him how much fun it can be.
10178966
They named him Astro! He cries a lot.
10178971
Eddie took a liking to Astro right away. Maybe too much of a liking.
10178976
Tamra called the robot baby company to make sure Astro should not be breastfed by a man. Jury says: No.
10178981
Shannon invited Lizzie and Danielle over for a lesson on essential oils. Because why not?
10178986
While the ladies get oiled up, Heather calls Tamra to talk about what happened with Shannon.
10178991
And Shannon told Lizzie and Danielle about the incident, too.
10178996
Both of the ladies can't believe that Heather kicked Shannon out. "I honestly don't think that Heather would just kick someone out of her house for no good reason at all," Lizzie said.
10179001
"The truth always comes out," Shannon said. And then they asked the essential oil specialist for a "non-betrayal oil." Heh, we wish.
10179006
But Vicki and Brooks don't have a care in the world!
10179011
Tamra and Shannon met for dinner and they got right to the email gossip: "I feel absolutely 100-percent horrible that I said something to Heather," Tamra said.
10179016
Meanwhile, Heather was relaying her side of the story to Lizzie.
10179021
Heather admitted that she told the information that Tamra told her to other friends and acquaintances, and Lizzie didn't agree with that. "The fact that Heather was gossiping about Shannon at lunch to her girlfriends -- yeah, I don't really think it's cool. I really don't."
10179026
Shannon tried to understand why Tamra would tell Heather about the email. Tamra said she was just trying to give Heather some background as to why Shannon might be having a hard time lately.
10179031
But that doesn't really matter. She still said something she shouldn't have. And Tamra really felt horrible about it.
