This week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” sees two of the cast members’ husbands at the center of one of the season’s main narratives — the ongoing argument between Whitney Rose and Lisa Barlow. Beyond the rare conflict between Justin Rose and John Barlow, the episode — titled “The Huzzbands” — also gives us a deeper moment with newest husband Todd Bradley, as he and his wife, new cast member Bronwyn Newport, talk about family matters. The episode also shows Heather Gay delivering some brutal honesty to friend Britani Bateman, then receiving some of that same honesty from Angie Katsanevas — and having a conversation with Bronwyn that quickly goes off the rails.
Justin vs. John The episode picks up where last week’s left off, at Angie and husband Shawn Trujillo’s 25th anniversary party. Whitney had accused Lisa of spreading rumors about her jewelry business, and Lisa loudly denied them before calling in a cyber-security expert to help refute the claims.
During that argument, Lisa starts yelling at Justin, who replies angrily, “Don’t call my wife a f---ing liar.” John inserts himself between Lisa and Justin — not once but twice. That’s where last week’s episode ended.
This week, we see Angie and Mary Cosby finally get everyone to quiet down. Angie gathers the partygoers to hear Mary give a blessing. Mary takes charge, tells everyone to hold hands — making a point of getting Whitney and Lisa to hold each other’s hand.
