Still in Iceland, it’s 6:26 p.m. and Peggy has finally emerged from her room, looking weepy and mopey. She goes to Lydia’s room and says she just woke up. It is their last night in Iceland, and Lydia has organized a Viking dinner. Peggy feels like all of the women are speaking badly about her and doesn’t want to go.
Vicki thinks the women don’t understand Peggy. I just think Peggy sucks. She was the worst part of this whole season. Except maybe Lydia, the spoiled Jesus Princess.
Peggy starts going on and on about hearing Megan’s baby crying for ten minutes overnight. She calls Megan a “35-year-old giraffe” and questions how she raises her child. Peggy then claims all of the women were drunk and laughing at her all night. She has proof. She recorded it on her phone.
Not weird or creepy at all.
Even Lydia questions this. Peggy repeats the insensitive comment she thinks Kelly made about her dad. Peggy doesn’t understand analogies. She should take a course with Teresa Giudice.
Even Lydia realizes that Kelly was not insulting Peggy’s father. Peggy won’t hear it. Lydia asks her again to come to dinner, and Peggy makes her resting stank-ass bitch face. It’s a “no.”
The other women head to the Viking dinner and immediately start bothering the Viking performers. The performers don’t smile. They remind me of Peggy.
Vicki is ready to whoop it up. The drinks start flowing and the ladies are having fun, although Shannon is still pissy that Vicki and Tamra are being friendly.
Tamra tries to get Shannon and Vicki to interact a little. She wants Vicki to apologize to Shannon for spreading the David rumors. Vicki apologizes. Shannon accepts, but doesn’t want to talk about it. It feels like bullshit to Shannon because the apology is happening in front of everyone.
Shannon offers a cold “I appreciate it” and goes back to eating potatoes.
Vicki and Tamra start talking again, and Shannon is annoyed all over again. She is clearly jealous that they want to be friends again.
At 8:32 p.m., we are back at the hotel and Peggy has finally gotten dressed. She agrees to go to dinner with the other women because she doesn’t want Lydia to miss out on her own Viking dinner.
Peggy and Lydia finally arrive, and Peggy still has her stinky face on.
The women are all smiling and happy to see Peggy. Peggy cracks a half-smirk, then immediately whips out her phone. Everyone tries to greet her, and Kelly attempts to apologize. Peggy is just rude in response. Her face is something else. It’s not that she isn’t pretty. It’s the expressions. Ick.
Kelly gets mad. She has had it with The Peggy Show. Kelly’s anger management classes, court mandated, taught her to walk away from conflict, so that’s exactly what she does.
Meanwhile, Peggy is still stuck on the women being drunk and laughing the night before. She assumes they were laughing about her and starts playing the video she recorded on her phone. The women are shocked.
Then Peggy turns to Megan and says, “Megan, your baby was crying really bad in the room for 10 minutes.”
It is clearly a shot at Megan’s parenting. I don’t really get it. Megan has barely spoken the entire trip, so why go after her? The other ladies are pissed at Peggy for this.
Megan is timing her baby’s sleep and crying patterns to encourage her to sleep on her own. It’s a common practice, not bad parenting. Peggy seems determined to make it sound like Megan is neglecting her child, and the women are not having it.
Shannon is appalled by Peggy’s criticism and comes out with an icy, “How dare she?” Tamra agrees that Peggy is trying to make Megan look like a bad mom.
Vicki wants to stick up for Peggy, but apparently doesn’t have the balls. Megan is crying, and the whole dinner has gone completely sideways.
Vicki leaves and heads out to the van while the other women comfort Megan and tell Peggy to shut the hell up.
Peggy covers her face, says everyone is twisting her words, and refuses to speak to the other women. Shannon starts gesturing wildly, as she does.
Peggy tells Shannon that David is not honest with her. Tamra tells Peggy that Diko is a little bitch.
Oh, shit. Welcome to Iceland.
A crying Megan tells Peggy she is a “little odd,” which is probably the kindest and most accurate assessment of the night.
Kelly has had it and yells at Peggy, who storms out and announces that she is done with the trip. She stomps into the van and declares that no one else can come in. She is going to HER hotel, getting her OWN plane, and going home.
Well, snap, snap, and snap.
Peggy can’t believe Vicki didn’t have her back. Vicki tries to explain, but Peggy wants her plane.
The next morning, we learn that most of the women were up past 2:30 a.m. the night before. Kelly is exhausted. She calls Vicki and tells her Peggy bounced overnight and went home.
Vicki thinks it’s crazy, but I am so relieved. Hopefully that is the last Peggy scene of the episode, but I doubt it. Bravo really tried to make her happen.
Lydia is packing up and saying Iceland was a really fun experience. I’m not sure what trip she was on, but I must have missed that episode.
Back in the OC, Jimmy and Megan are getting ready for the party launching their candle company, and we see the other women at home with their families.
We land at Vicki’s, where she is with her grandchildren and Briana. Vicki tells them about the trip and her visit to the hospital. She is happy that Shannon and Tamra were nice to her and about the casserole they gave her.
And she didn’t even have to fake cancer to get it, so that’s cool.
Vicki isn’t really certain that Shannon accepted her apology. She swears she is going to stop repeating rumors. Even Briana doesn’t believe it.
Vicki’s grandkids are cute.
Oh, no. We are at Peggy’s.
But why though?
Peggy and Diko rehash the Iceland trip and her frantic calls to him. They seem like a loving couple, but they are also obnoxious, and I don’t like them.
Peggy gives her version of events and says the women used her as a punching bag. She thinks they twisted her words about Megan. Peggy thought Vicki would have stood up for her, but surprise, Vicki doesn’t do that.
Duh.
Diko needs a vacation from Peggy’s vacation, and so do I.
Shannon and Tamra visit Shannon’s doctor to review her blood work. She is concerned about her libido, weight, and mood swings. Her hormones are out of whack.
Maybe Kelly was right. Maybe she does need hormones for her body.
Vicki and Peggy meet for breakfast. Peggy checks in on Vicki’s health, and Vicki finally gives Peggy the hat she bought her in Iceland. Peggy seems unmoved. She would rather have an apology for what she considers Vicki’s betrayal on the trip.
Vicki tries to explain herself. It’s lame. She just isn’t a very good friend. We know this.
Vicki wants everyone to be kind to each other. Maybe she should lead by example, since she is the self-proclaimed founder of the show.
Shannon is home with her dog, Archie, and her bitch, David. Archie passed away recently, and that makes me sad.
David goes on and on about how much he works out while looking Shannon’s figure up and down. Shannon tells us the state of her marriage is not good. Has it ever been?
She feels like they are in limbo and tries to talk to David about it. He reluctantly sits beside her. Well, adjacent to her. David has some serious bitch face.
The way he looks at Shannon makes me sad for her.
Megan’s candle party is coming up, and David doesn’t know how he feels about seeing Vicki there. Shannon wants him there to support her, but he is completely checked out, fiddling with his wedding ring.
These two are a mess.
