Angie K. smashed her finger on the cruise as penance for wearing one of Brownyn\u2019s blow-up costumes, and here, she\u2019s smashed in the face with a tray full of glass. Okay, you want to be Greek? Fine. Opa!<\/p>\n
The trip to Greece is actually the most magical reveal after three seasons and a friend-of stint of Angie K. as the Greek whisperer. Everywhere she goes, Angie K. sports blue and white like she\u2019s crowdfunding My Big Fat Greek Vacation with Nia Vardalos (the only other Greek celebrity, canonically). She\u2019s constantly crumbling feta and discussing the old country with her daughter who couldn\u2019t care less. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To be Angie K. is to be Greek, and yet, she rolls up to Santorini knowing five words of the language, constantly embarrassing herself\u2014and the group at large\u2014to the point she might be banished from the promised land for good. There\u2019s some intense symbolism in relation to Angie\u2019s own rise and fall as an underdog who\u2019s now too big for her britches here, somewhere. <\/p>\n
First, a humiliation ritual ensues at the spa, where Britani classlessly costs the whole group their time of rest and relaxation. Splashing the ladies in an effort to melt them as though they\u2019re the Wicked Witch (flip it around, Meredith Marks!), Britani has a giggle and a good time, as everyone else bands together to kill her with sticks. As Heather puts it, \u201cBritani is doing what everyone hates, which is being Britani.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m funny, remember? I\u2019m funny,\u201d Britani explains, to no avail.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not funny,\u201d Angie replies. <\/p>\n
The ladies then enter into a type of warfare rarely seen on reality TV, though always entertaining: the whisper fight. It\u2019s almost like ASMR, the stunning cacophony of Angie and Lisa\u2019s voices cascading through the TV to provide a sweet, sultry lullaby. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, across the couch, Meredith awakens from a deep slumber to remind Britani that there\u2019s a difference between being a mother and a Mother, and the way Meredith sees it, Britani\u2019s neither. Lisa piggybacks off that to tell Britani that her tears that she didn\u2019t receive a call on Mother\u2019s Day from her daughter were fake (\u201cNo, I\u2019m not kidding. I really thought it was fake,\u201d she doubles down). <\/p>\n
The women are told to quiet down many times, exiting in shame as the other spa-goers attempt to find zen, ignorant and unaware of the power a Housewives fight has in enriching your inner peace. <\/p>\n
Later, on the drive to dinner, Lisa giggles while calling Britani an alcoholic, continuing the Housewives\u2019 favorite tradition of casually claiming someone you know is dying from a vicious addiction.<\/p>\n
\u201cBritani, you little lush! I heard you were drinking, throwing up; drinking, throwing up. Are you an alcoholic?\u201d Lisa says with the biggest smile. For some reason, Britani finds the question offensive, as does Whitney, who thinks it\u2019s super crass to call someone an alcoholic flippantly, unless your name is Whitney Rose and you have synthetic red hair. <\/p>\n

Earlier that day, after all, Whitney, Mary, and Bronwyn sat for lunch to have a little girl talk: Do you all think Meredith is slowly dying from the vicious disease of alcohol and drug addiction? And how good is this salad?<\/p>\n
One fun thing about the Real Housewives is that even when the conversations are redundant, the scenery\u2019s always changing. Far from the parking lots of Salt Lake City, the women have this heart-to-heart amidst the coastal views of Santorini, really elevating (pun intended) the gravitas. <\/p>\n
Here, Mary says, \u201cI think Meredith needs help,\u201d setting into motion a season finale intervention that could change the nature of the group forever. It seems sincere, even though the tone of Whitney and Bronwyn\u2019s voices make every sentence seem phony, but Mary does a great job grounding the scene. <\/p>\n
While it\u2019s obviously unsavory to liken Meredith to an addict, it\u2019s at least honest in a way the post-plane meltdown has never felt, as, simply put, no one in this group cares about Britani and her feelings, nor do they care if Meredith actively watched Crazy Rich Asians. The accusation of drug abuse is out there, now, and it\u2019s even more damning in this instance than Whitney coyly calling her a pill popper. That means it has to be addressed, that things can never be the same\u2014and it\u2019s a heightening of the stakes the season has needed after a few weeks of aimless in-fighting. <\/p>\n
Of course, Bronwyn tosses even more salt on the wound, letting the women know she and Todd ran into Seth Marks in New York on what looked like a date.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first thought was not, \u2018Oh, Seth\u2019s on a date with someone,\u2019 because I\u2019m not like that,\u201d Bronwyn says, being like that. \u201cBut I\u2019m starting to feel like, as I watch her be so defensive about people talking about her marriage, there\u2019s something wrong here.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, there you have it. The women think Meredith is an alcoholic pill-popper whose husband cheats on her, and they\u2019re saying all of this because they love her. There\u2019s nothing that warms the heart more than women supporting women. She\u2019s definitely going to love watching this! <\/p>\n
In the spirit of sisterhood, then, Meredith takes the reins at the group dinner and shares that she\u2019s the one who told Lisa that Britani drinks and throws up, while Whitney utters \u201cuh uh, that\u2019s unfair!\u201d. After all, if these women were sisters, Whitney would definitely be the kid sister who\u2019s always in some mischief. Lisa is the sister everyone\u2019s jealous of because she\u2019s pretty and perfect (or, so she\u2019d think). Britani is the step-sibling whose only friends are mice. Cinderelly, Cinderelly! <\/p>\n
Thus, the women fight as sisters, Heather standing up for misfit Britani by reminding everyone she\u2019s more accomplished than some of them, leading to a mutiny of disgust at the idea Britani could be their peer. Then, Lisa accidentally spills wine on Whitney while the two engage in a pointing fight, and the manager of the restaurant kicks everyone out. I\u2019d do the same thing if I watched people pick on poor, innocent Britani.<\/p>\n
Only one episode remains in the Salt Lake City search for salvation, and it\u2019s abundantly clear they won\u2019t find that anywhere near Santorini, where trays go flying and wine glasses can\u2019t stop breaking.
