Season 18 Finale Highlights
The season finale kicked off with Alexis on a quest for the perfect engagement ring, as her fiancé John Janssen expressed his commitment to their relationship. Interestingly, John has a history with RHOC star Shannon Beador.
Meanwhile, Gina revealed to Travis that they were navigating their relationship struggles but found it challenging to cope with their separation. Travis conveyed his discontent with their living arrangement, asserting that being separate wasn’t a viable choice for them. Gina defended her decision, saying it was essential, yet Travis remained unconvinced.
“I just want you to reach a point where, during tough times, you’re inclined to pull closer rather than retreat,”Travis shared.
The couple previously shared a home with their children, but during the season 18 premiere, Gina had expressed that Travis should move out due to complications stemming from her previous marriage. She later proposed couples therapy and indicated her willingness to take the initiative in finding a therapist.
At a later gathering, Emily invited Gina and Jenn to join her for an axe-throwing session. Upon her arrival, Jenn showcased her stunning engagement ring, delighting everyone as she recounted Ryan’s proposal during a family vacation in the Bahamas.
Alexis hosted a vibrant costume party themed around 80s bridesmaids to celebrate Jenn’s engagement, with Jo De La Rosa making a special appearance. Jo was a cast member in the initial two seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
During the festivities, Katie questioned Vicki about her lack of communication with Tamra, to which Vicki responded that she would not attempt to change Tamra but would wish her well. Shannon’s former partner, John, arrived at the party in a limo, where he sought to clarify his perspective on the ongoing dynamics with Shannon.
“Shannon spins a narrative that only represents one side of the story. I hope people won’t buy into the falsehoods about me,” John remarked.
During the celebration, Shannon declared she would no longer engage with Tamra in light of their unresolved conflicts, setting boundaries and ultimately storming out. She later encountered Katie’s husband, Matt, who questioned her abrupt exit.
Subsequently, Shannon relayed the incident to Tim, who advised her to move on, a suggestion that troubled her as she regarded herself as the group’s strongest member. The episode wrapped up with Jenn discovering that Ryan, who had been offered immunity, was cooperating in a money-laundering investigation.
