What happened on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion, Part 3?

In this week’s episode, the reunion concludes with Britani joining the group to discuss her relationship with Jared Osmond and confront Bronwyn. Meredith accuses Britani of spreading misinformation about her night in Mexico. Lisa and Whitney struggle to find a path forward after the rumor Whitney shared in Mexico about Lisa’s marriage. Here are some highlights from the RHOSLC Season 5 Reunion, Part 3.

Britani opens up about Jared Osmond and their relationship

Before bringing Britani on stage, Andy advises everyone to “hide your wine bottles and make sure all recording devices are turned off.”

“What is the latest between you and Jared?” Andy asks her.

“We’ve been broken up since June,” Britani responds. As she’s speaking, there’s a banner across the bottom of the screen that says, “Editor’s Note: Since the reunion, they’ve gone Instagram official … again.”

Apparently, Jared is unable to stop himself from texting single girls, even though he promised Britani several times he would. Hence, the vicious breakup/love bomb/get back together cycle.

Andy reminds Britani that Bronwyn said she was “more in love with the Osmond name than with Jared.”

“It probably wasn’t super cool of me to insinuate that,” Bronwyn says, “But my feeling was he wouldn’t claim you publicly, he was treating you poorly, and he’s [just] categorically the worst.”

“He’s said horrific things about you on Twitter,” Bronwyn adds. “He’s come for everybody on this show.”

Following an earlier debate on whether Jared has a “micro penis,” Bronwyn concludes by reading a text Jared sent her. “This is the way the man you’re in love with talks to women.”

“What the f*cking hell is your f*cking problem?” Jared writes to Bronwyn. “Are you f*cking kidding me coming out on national television making fun of my anatomy? You little bitch … I guarantee I am twice the size of any man you’ve ever been with.” Just, ew. The Osmond family must be so proud.

Angie claims Britani’s “not a true Mormon” on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion

When Angie arrived at Britani’s house for Mormon Prayer Night with a bottle of wine, Britani wasn’t quite sure how to handle the situation. Honestly, how long has Angie lived in Salt Lake City? Can she really not know that Mormons aren’t supposed to drink?

A viewer wrote, “Heather, you said on the After Show it’s not Angie’s responsibility to keep up Britani’s façade of being the perfect Mormon.”

When Andy asks Heather to elaborate, she says, “Britani’s living a double life. She’s an active Mormon. To be an active Mormon and not get kicked out of the church, you can’t have sex [outside of marriage] and you can’t drink. And [she’s] doing both.”

But Britani argues, “That’s not true. It depends on the bishop.”

“That’s nonsense,” Bronwyn throws out. “I also grew up Mormon … I agree with Heather. If you want to look like you’re in good standing with the church … you should not be drinking and having pre-marital sex.”

Of course, Lisa comes out on Britani’s side. Lisa’s a “Mormon” who owns a tequila company. But Angie says she grew up with Mormons, and Britani’s “not a true Mormon.”

“I can live my religion any way I want,” Britani argues.

Andy continues, “Britani, you eventually came clean about sleeping with Jared. How did it feel to have the other women rally around you?”

“It felt really good,” she says, admitting that she cried when she saw it on TV. “I didn’t even realize how much trauma I had around the shame … I lied to everyone.”

Why was Britani recording the women in the sprinter van?

Turning to the Puerto Vallarta trip, Andy asks Britani, “If you were so concerned that Meredith was crying and throwing up, why didn’t you talk to her about it, instead of telling everyone in the group?”

“She did,” Meredith says. “I told her that it wasn’t true, and she proceeded to tell everyone that it was.”

“I’m sorry,” Britani says. “The sound of someone throwing up is indistinguishable.” That’s a very big word there, missy, and I don’t think you’re using it correctly.

“I literally woke up from a dead sleep,” Britani continues, “to sounds of someone throwing up.” She could have been violently coughing. Meredith admitted she had a coughing fit that night, and that could be indistinguishable from the sound of vomiting.

“Britani, you’re a liar,” Meredith tells her. “I am not going to let you spread lies about me. I’ve had enough … I don’t care to discuss it any further. You’re a liar.”

Moving on, Andy says, “Britani, you gave several different explanations as to why you were recording the women in the sprinter … Who here believes any of those excuses?”

After everyone has a different theory about why she would record them, Andy says, “The obvious reason that you all freaked out is because of what you have been through.”

“It was abusive, and I’m still recovering from that,” Britani says.

“Okay, well get over it, babe,” Mary throws in. “It happened and it’s done. Hopefully, you are, too.” Just what I was thinking!

Mary admits she doesn’t like Britani. “I just don’t think you’re honest,” she says. “And you don’t take accountability … Your emotional intelligence is not mature. You’re a little bit lop-sided for me, and I have enough going on in my life.”

Lisa and Whitney make one last attempt to “burn it” on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Andy brings up Heather asking everyone to “read the meanest text in their phone” to move forward. That was a terrible idea. “What was your goal for the exercise?”

“We give these words power,” Heather says. “I just wanted to burn it.”

“Lisa, Whitney brought up a rumor,” Andy went on, “about you and John bringing a third party into your bedroom. Where do you go from here?”

“Are we gonna burn it or not?” Whitney asks, as Lisa again denies the rumor. She’s missing the point.

“Lisa, listen to me,” Whitney says. “I burned the most horrific thing … but it was cathartic … When we were able to look in each other’s eyes and burn it, it started filling in those trenches. You could not burn the fact that I’m sorry that I talked about your marriage. Why can’t you burn it?”

“Because you keep doing it,” both Meredith and Lisa say at the same time.

While everyone urges her to just let it go, Lisa argues, “I will do what I want to do … You guys have f*cked me over so many times, that it’s hard to be vulnerable … [But] when people f*ck with John, Jack, and Henry, you burn something that you can never get back … I show you grace all the time. I’m not fake.” That’s debatable.

Whitney goes and sits by Lisa to focus their conversation. “Saying you’re sorry means you’ll never do it again,” Lisa says. No, it doesn’t. People make the same mistakes over and over again.

Andy wants to move on, but Whitney says, “I just don’t think it’s fair that I take accountability, but she doesn’t have to.”

Finally, Lisa admits, “As f*cked up as our friendship is, I do love you.” Finally, it’s done.

Ending the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion on a positive note

“The finale ended with everyone saying the worst thing they’ve texted about someone in the group,” Andy says. He wants them to end by saying something nice.

Starting with Mary, Andy says, “What’s something nice that you want to [say] about Heather?”

“Heather is powerful, smart, and she has a lot of love,” Mary responds.

Andy asks Lisa to say something about Whitney. She says, “When she’s committed to being a friend, she’s a great one.”

When Andy asks Meredith to say something about Angie, she says, “You’re a great mother … I haven’t seen it, but based on your relationship with Mary, I think you can be a good friend.”

Angie admits, “I actually secretly like [Meredith],” which makes everyone laugh.

Bronwyn says, “I’ve always said I wanted to be friends with [Heather]. You’re very intelligent and you keep me on my toes.”

Heather responds, “You understand that being a single mom is not easy … I think you’re a fabulous contribution to the group.”

Andy asks Whitney to “return the favor to Lisa Barlow.”

“When you show up as a friend,” Whitney says. “you can be a really good friend.”

Mary begs Andy to “do me,” rather than leave it to Meredith.

“You showed us your heart this year,” Andy says. “You showed us how open, understanding, and compassionate you are … You’re also funny as hell.”

“We should have played this game in Puerto Vallarta,” Meredith says.

Finally, Andy suggests a toast.

Meanwhile, backstage, Britani has a serious case of FOMO. “I want some nice stuff said about me, too!” she whispers. “It’s not fair!”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is now streaming on Peacock.
