Charleston is never short on drama, and this week’s “Southern Charm” looks to deliver another heaping dose of interpersonal chaos. In “Beer and Loathing,” airing Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 8:00 PM on Bravo, Madison grapples with some unforeseen news that threatens to upend the delicate balance of the group’s already strained relationships. Meanwhile, Craig’s decision to throw a party with Paige but exclude Austen from the guest list speaks volumes.
Austen’s inevitable confrontation with Craig over the perceived snub will likely be the episode’s centerpiece. Will their friendship weather this latest storm, or is this the final straw? The preview hints at a potential explosion, with accusations and recriminations flying faster than a hurled wine glass at a Shep-hosted soiree. Of course, “Southern Charm” thrives on these manufactured conflicts, so it’s entirely possible this is all much ado about nothing.
But even if the drama feels contrived, it’s often entertaining enough to keep viewers hooked. With Madison reeling from her news and Austen and Craig on the verge of fisticuffs (or, at least, a very loud argument), this episode has all the ingredients for a classic “Southern Charm” meltdown.
“Southern Charm” airs Thursdays at 8:00 PM on Bravo.
