Season 4 Episode 2 Recap (12-2-08)

First let me start by saying all of the ladies look fantastic this year. All fit and trim. You can tell now that Jeana has gotten rid of Matt, she is so much happier, it shows. Go Jeana. Now on to the recap.....
First up we have Tamra:
Tamra is changing Ryan's old room into her weight room. Simon has now left Fletcher Jones to start his own business. While Tamra and Simon move all of Tamra's weight equipment they create several nicks and bumps. Watching them was a little funny.
After a short break, we get back to Tamra. She is shopping for her 10 yr wedding anniversary. Please keep in mind she is shopping in an adult store. She feels sex is very important to a great marriage. She is planning a surprise lingerie show for Simon complete with toys and gifts.
We now move on to Gretchen:
Gretchen and Jeff go motorcycle shopping. She actually asked for a pink bike....oh brother! She didn't just say it's going to be hard to ride in heels. Oy!
Next up is Vicki:
They are taking a family vacay to Mexico. Brianna "helps" her mom pack. Although she made the statement that she would rather stay with Colby. Then Jeana shows up. And Donn shows up. The trip to Mexico does not include Donn. Vicki is going to spend time with her kids and sister. Whereas Donn is going fishing.
Back to Vicki out to dinner with Donn. Donn reveals that he feels left out of the Mexico trip. Donn asks Vicki to be normal, she claims she is normal. No Donn says, you are weird. Donn must have gotten offended when Vic asked if he was having a good time. Hence his earlier question. Vicki wants to have a family BBQ while she and the kids visit back home in Chicago. Vic then wonders if she should invite her kids dad Michael Sr. to which Donn exclaims Michael Sr. is a piece of trash. Donn wishes he could tell it to his face. Then it is revealed that Donn raised Michael Jr. and Brianna, however never adopted them.
Back to Vicki...we pick up with them leaving for Mexico. Michael then approaches his mom about not going to Mexico, because he just got back from Costa Rica 2 wk ago. Brianna is over going to Mexico as well. Then Vicki brings up the fact that Michael's GF is meeting them there on Tuesday and if he doesn't go, he will owe Vicki the $500. Donn is still upset he was not asked to go to Mexico. Vicki then drops the F bomb on Michael because he didn't want to go. Brianna also admits that she would rather not go.
Now to Jeana:
She is selling Tammy Knickerbocker's old home. Was 4 Million, now 14 million. Jeana is doing "short" sales currently. The seller is not allowed any money in a short sale. Jeana prefers short sales for foreclosures. Short sales are just that, short and sweet. Foreclosures on the other hand are drawn out.
We pick up with the man from the short sale coming over to sign the papers.
Next Lauri:
We start with them riding horses. Bria and Ashley to name a couple of the kids, are offering horse baths. Ashley is currently developing a skin care line. The company is A2Z Skin Care. Lauri and George haven't helped Ashley at all financially. It was all on her own, er through vendors/investors.
Back to Lauri.....she is out eating with Ashley. They talk the new business the entire time.
All of the ladies together:
Then all of the ladies come over (via Limo) and pick up Jeana. Lauri says she is happy to hand over the gold digger title to Gretchen. Goes on to say that Lauri feels Gretchen fills that title more then herself. The last to get picked up is Gretchen. They all comment that they believe Gretchen got a boob job. Jeana asks Gretchen how things are going and she opens up about Jeff and the acute leukemia. Gretchen then comments that she finds it rude for Vicki to be on her PC while in route to the spa. They arrive at the spa and have lunch and chit chat.
The spa is the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic. While at lunch at the clinic Gretchen reveals she was previously married. Thought the guy was prince charming, and then after they got married he just put his feet on the coffee table and thought I got the girl now I'm done. To which someone(Tamra) shouts out "was he poor"? Dead silence. The guy was 9 yrs older. Gretchen then tells everyone since she is the new girl they can't tell her to shout up. And she admits that yes, Jeff could be her father, but that doesn't bother her. On to the spa treatment...Vicki works the entire time. Lauri had to leave early due to family obligations. then Vicki says she thought she and Lauri were good friends, however since George came into the picture she doesn't see Lauri much. then on to Tamra and Gretchen. The talk back and forth. Then they all leave with gift bags.
