Hold on to your sweet tea, Charleston – a stray text message is about to send shockwaves through the Southern Charm crowd. In “Text Message in a Bottle,” Shep’s relationship takes center stage (again), this time thanks to a poorly-timed and even more poorly-worded text that throws gasoline on the already smoldering embers of interpersonal drama.
As if Shep’s relationship woes weren’t enough to keep the gossip mill churning, Craig and Austen’s tenuous truce shows signs of cracking. Their friendship, always a delicate balancing act, looks poised to implode once more. Will they manage to avoid another epic blow-up, or are we in for another round of Conover vs. Green?
Adding fuel to the fire is the much-anticipated arrival of JT. His return to the Charleston scene is sure to shake things up, creating new alliances and reigniting old rivalries. Just what kind of trouble will JT bring? One thing’s for certain: he won’t be blending into the wallpaper.
With relationship drama reaching a boiling point, friendships hanging by a thread, and JT’s return looming large, this episode looks to be a classic Southern Charm cocktail of awkward encounters and explosive confrontations.
Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
