What will  be happening this season

After two years away, Tamra Judge has returned with fresh eyes and an eagerness to mend old fences. Tamra and Eddie have decided to close their successful gym, CUT Fitness, after almost ten years in the industry. Tamra storms in, and things don’t work out with her attempt at mending fences with Shannon. Tamra insists on accountability from everyone, especially her close friend Jennifer, but tensions boil over when explanations fail.

While Shannon Storms Beador and her ex-best friend Tamra are working to repair their strained relationship, she is doing what she can to maintain a positive outlook. The OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, joins in the tequila and keg stands after she and Tamra have patched things up. Shannon keeps assuring her friends that everything is fine in her relationship with John Janssen, despite their repeated concerns. Shannon starts to doubt who she can trust in the group as the spotlight continues to shine on her relationship. As the rumors spread during a long weekend in Mexico, she finds herself fighting to keep her relationship afloat.

Heather Dubrow is excited to start a new chapter in her life now that her twins have left for college on opposite coasts. Heather wants to get back into acting and start a new business, but she’s not sure if she can do both. Heather and Terry invest in the future by purchasing a penthouse in a luxurious Los Angeles building as a vacation home. Heather, while hanging out with the ladies, finds herself in the middle of a fight between Tamra and Shannon. When the two finally make up, Heather is left wondering where she fits into their friendship.

Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis decide to go into business together in the hopes of making a killing in the industry, but first she must earn her real estate license. Gina is emotionally set back when one of the women shares a story about infidelity, forcing her to confront suppressed feelings about her ex’s affair. Gina is constantly rejected despite her best efforts to prove her loyalty after being told her friendship style does not meet Heather’s standards. Gina worries that having Tamra back in the group will strain her relationships with the other women, and when she gets involved in the gossip about Shannon’s relationship, her own demons will rise to haunt her.

Emily Simpson is able to be a stay-at-home mom while still volunteering with the California Innocence Project and encouraging her daughter Annabelle’s modeling career. Her husband, Shane, is a full-time lawyer. After working through their troubled history, Emily and Tamra are able to form a close friendship. She asks everyone she knows until she gets an answer, but when she does, she gets in trouble with Shannon and Heather because they don’t like it when she voices her own opinion.

Jennifer Pedranti, a yoga studio owner and new Housewife who was introduced to the group by Tamra, is a mother of five children, ranging in age from five to eighteen. She recently adopted her youngest child, Dominic, and is a vocal supporter of animal and child fostering. She and her husband, Will, who runs the family business and with whom she shares a house, recently separated and she is learning to adjust to single life. The town has been abuzz with rumors about her alleged affair with Ryan, her current boyfriend and a member of CUT Fitness. The truths she must face and the rumors she must dispel put her friendship with Tamra to the test.

Almost ten years ago, Taylor Armstrong made the move to Orange County, where she quickly made friends with Tamra. Taylor has come to Heather for guidance as she pursues an acting career and prepares for her first film role. When Heather turns down Taylor’s offer to join the cast, Taylor feels insulted.
