RHOC-Tulips, Truffles & Tension
Podcast Summary: RHOC S19 E16 – “Tulip Service”
It’s Day 2 in Amsterdam, and the ladies are feeling all kinds of high—emotionally and otherwise. Shannon is still dealing with the aftermath of her “space cake” adventure, showing up to breakfast with one boot on and one off. Heather has planned a picturesque day trip to a tulip farm, but it quickly turns into chaos—complete with edibles, confessions, and confrontation.
Heather and Gina get a little too “elevated” on mushroom truffles, while Shannon provides comic relief by flashing her Spanx and sitting on her blush. Jenn, Gretchen, and Shannon get caught in a spiral over Alexis’s wedding, with Jenn torn between loyalty and self-preservation. Shannon insists she never forbade Jenn from attending, yet it’s clear she’s hurt—and a bit of a “friend dictator,” as Gina points out.
The tulip field lunch devolves into an emotional mess. Gina accuses Jenn of “fostering a fake friendship,” sparking a shouting match that ends with Emily yelling at Gina to “shut the F up.” Emily later tries to play peacemaker by putting Tamra and Gretchen in the same hot-tub boat to reconcile. Surprisingly, they almost do—sharing apologies and a rare calm moment—until the truce unravels later over dinner.
Jenn and Gretchen skip dinner at first, with Gretchen breaking down emotionally. When she finally arrives, she admits she’s exhausted by the years of conflict. Tamra isn’t buying it, and even Heather’s attempts at reason fall flat. Shannon, however, relates—she knows what it’s like to crave an authentic apology you’ll never get.
By Day 3, Gina and Emily discover disturbing social media posts allegedly liked by Gretchen, hinting that more drama is brewing for the finale.
On WWHL, Shannon joins Garcelle Beauvais, reflecting on Amsterdam, her trust issues with Tamra, and whether she’s “closing the door” on everyone from Alexis to the Tres Amigas. Spoiler: most doors are shut tight—except maybe the one for edibles.
