What occurred on Southern Hospitality Season 3 Episode 2, “Money or Retailer Credit score?”
Joe continues to be livid at TJ. Along with the Luann stuff, he claims TJ used to inform folks he was homosexual. Each Austin and Maddi affirm they heard these rumors about Joe. In the meantime, his former good friend can’t get on the identical web page with Michols. Maddi and Grace Lilly make music, with an ill-timed cameo from DJ James Kennedy. Bradley continues flirting with the brand new lady Lake. He says he’d stroll blindfolded in a room of Legos for her, which must be one of many extra romantic issues stated on this present to this point. After listening to rumors from Siobhan and Molly, Emmy has a full-on meltdown at work. Will is not any assist, and it solely results in extra gossip about their relationship.
TJ and Michols have a heart-to-heart
The episode begins with the group recovering from Michols’ get together. The birthday boy obtained tremendous drunk and cried to the purpose the place nobody might perceive what he was saying. And with that, I simply had flashbacks to my very own twenty second birthday…
Michols additionally licked cake off the face of (and kind of made out with) a man named Preston. TJ tells pal Taylor Ann Inexperienced that watching this made him jealous. It appears his emotions for the AGM are stronger than he assumed.
The pair get a pedi to clear the air. TJ admits his jealousy, however it solely confuses Michols extra. In response, Michols explains that he’s additional delicate to rejection as a result of his mother distancing herself when he got here out. Now, she doesn’t even name him on his birthday.
Michols additionally will get severe about how laborious it’s so far Charleston if you’re homosexual and an individual of coloration. He feels utilized by the lads he likes, who hook up with him however finally date white guys. He accuses TJ of the identical sample. TJ is damage, however counters that Michols doesn’t know everybody he’s dated as a result of a few of the guys are nonetheless closeted. It’s a robust dialog we’d by no means see on this present’s predecessor, Vanderpump Guidelines.
Michols says TJ was his first homosexual good friend. He needs to return to the way in which they had been, which suggests platonic. Contemplating his stronger emotions, TJ is disenchanted. I’m rooting for these two to work previous their points to allow them to be mates, a minimum of for now.
Maddi makes music (that includes Grace Lilly)
Regardless of the balloon fiasco, Maddi and Joe are nonetheless head over heels. However Maddi stands her floor and refuses to chop Joe’s enemy TJ off as a good friend. She additionally refutes TJ’s homosexual rumors, confidently saying that Joe “likes p*ssy.” Shout out to the editor who added the cat sounds to her confessional. Meow…
Along with her relationship, Maddi can also be optimistic about her music profession. She praises DJ James Kennedy as a mentor. Possibly it’s simply me, however I’m stunned his cameo was left within the episode. Contemplating his current arrest, it looks as if poor timing.
Maddi invitations Grace Lilly to vocalize over a few of her tracks. It’s a bit chaotic, to say the least. The entire scene brings me again to the early days of VPR, like when Scheana Shay first tried to get her music profession off the bottom. Possibly Leva was proper to name Southern Hospitality its inheritor obvious.
Austin tries to seek out his place
Final week, we noticed Republic newcomer Austin wrestle a bit on the bar. His “bizarre” soiled martini obtained a nasty evaluation, and he aggravated fellow beginner Molly by announcing espresso as “ex-presso.”
This week, Michols decides that bartending isn’t Austin’s forté. As a substitute, he has Brad prepare the beginner as a VIP Server.
Austin explains how he unexpectedly obtained into the hospitality trade. He initially deliberate to affix the army and signed up proper after highschool. Nevertheless, earlier than he was alleged to go to Afghanistan, he was recognized with common epilepsy. So, he switched gears. He loves serving to folks and serving others, and hospitality appeared like a pure match.
Molly mixes issues up
We additionally be taught extra about Molly this week. Along with working at Republic, she additionally plans weddings and occasions. Molly will get together with a lot of the women at Republic. She and Maddi bond over their enormous crushes on Justin Bieber. And he or she lives with VIP server Siobhan. However issues are frosty with Emmy. The sensation is mutual, as Emmy calls Molly an “insecure b*tch.” Molly theorizes Emmy is so standoffish in direction of her as a result of she bartended with Will.
Because it seems, she’s not the one lady with Emmy points. A few of the women declare Emmy advised a gaggle of NFL gamers visiting Republic that she was single. Additionally, Emmy talks loads about her retailer credit score reductions. The opposite women theorize that she used that to purchase their VIP attire, however nonetheless modified all of them full worth, so she might make a revenue. Siobhan decides to ask Emmy about this.
Emmy has a meltdown to finish all meltdowns
I don’t assume any of us thought this meltdown would come this early once we noticed the Season 3 trailer. However Emmy’s freakout after being requested how she paid for the women’ attire is one for the historical past books. Siobhan clearly had no thought Emmy would react like this when she introduced the problem up.
Molly jokes that her co-worker is precisely named as a result of she offers an Emmy Award-worthy efficiency. Critically, it’s like watching Claire Danes on Homeland or Sydney Sweeney on Euphoria. Emmy instantly hyperventilates and has tears of mascara streaks down her face. She screams, “That is what I get?! For being particular person?!” She runs to everybody else on employees to inform them the information, which solely escalates the state of affairs. Brad makes it worse when he brings up the NFL participant rumor. When Emmy tries to clarify what occurred, he mutters below his breath, “I don’t actually care.” Everybody says the identical factor – this outsized response makes Emmy look responsible.
Will does every thing mistaken. He asks Emmy if she did it, and is surprised she’s offended. When her meltdown escalates, he avoids going to consolation her as a result of he doesn’t work at Republic anymore. And he sends Joe in his place as a result of Joe is sweet at comforting folks? Joe?! Who was no assist throughout Maddi’s balloon meltdown simply final week? All through this entire sequence, the fixed cutbacks to Will nonchalantly on his telephone are brutal.
Was Emmy’s freakout actually about Will?
This week, we hear extra rumors concerning the nasty issues Will allegedly says about Emmy. Maddi brings it as much as Brad, who says it obtained so unhealthy that purchasers got here as much as him to complain. Yikes! Actually, Brad is nervous to see Will on the Republic in any respect, and that’s earlier than Emmy begins to lose it.
Once they talk about (and take a look at to not snigger about) Emmy’s meltdown, Molly and Siobhan additionally deliver up her relationship troubles. Molly is very bothered when Siobhan tells her that Will calls Emmy “anorexic.” As she explains, it’s by no means okay to say something impolite a couple of lady’s physique. Particularly if that lady is your girlfriend! The ladies aren’t Emmy’s greatest followers, however they nonetheless assume she deserves significantly better.
Southern Hospitality airs Thursdays on Bravo.
