S3E80 I Heated the Pool for this Low Hanging Fruit?? | RHOC Episode 10 Recap

The *Real Housewives of Orange County* split up for separate overnight trips, but neither group manages to escape the drama.

Tamra, Shannon, Jenn, Gina, Heather, and Carmella head to Los Olivos, where Carmella's late arrival immediately stresses out Tamra. Emily and Shane are still working through issues at home, while the women continue to question Heather's behavior and whether she's being two-faced about Carmella. Carmella's car is pulled over along the way, adding another unexpected detour to the trip.

Meanwhile, Vicki, Shannon, Emily, and Jenn settle in at Vicki's La Quinta home. Vicki admits that she sometimes targets Jenn as "low-hanging fruit" when she's frustrated, and Mike unexpectedly drops by. Vicki continues working during the getaway, while the women remain curious about her relationship and why Mike doesn't seem eager to discuss it on camera.

The two groups enjoy very different activities, with Tamra's group taking a bike ride and Vicki's group hitting the golf course. Shannon even manages to turn a quick bathroom break into an adventure when the others drive off without her.

Back with Tamra's group, Gina confronts Heather about calling Carmella trashy while also doing business with her. Heather turns the conversation back on Gina, but the two eventually make peace.

At Vicki's house, however, the tension continues to build. Vicki becomes suspicious about Carmella's pantry, while the other women grow frustrated with Vicki's refusal to share much about her relationship. Vicki shuts down and becomes upset that Shannon isn't defending her.

What starts as an awkward attempt to make pizza together ultimately turns into a full Housewives meltdown. Vicki retreats to her bedroom, removes her microphone, and demands that the women—and eventually production—get out of her house.
