RHOSLC-Robert Jr.’s Heartbreaking Truth and Mary’s Strength
Episode Summary
Heather and Whitney organize a Girl Scout-themed campfire gathering, asking attendees to embrace "Girl Scout chic" attire and share their feelings. Tensions simmer as unresolved conflicts unfold:

• Meredith & Mary: Meredith expresses hurt over Mary’s lack of support during a previous argument. Mary counters, saying their friendship feels unhealthy and calls out Meredith for always playing the victim.
• Lisa & Angie: At an aquarium outing, they mend their friendship, reflecting on childhood traumas and agreeing to communicate better.
• Campfire Chaos: The group engages in activities like sack races, but tempers flare when religion, past arguments, and personal digs resurface. Mary criticizes Lisa, calls her a "dingbat," and ultimately storms off, questioning her decision to attend.
• Family Matters: Mary confronts her son Robert Jr. about his drug use and mental health struggles, leading to an emotional conversation about addiction, disappointment, and love.
• Shabbat Dinner: Meredith hosts a dinner with a mix of lighthearted and reflective moments, but lingering tension from the campfire lingers.
