Beer, Bikes, and Big Drama: The Milwaukee Meltdown

RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 4: "The Epiphany"

The episode starts in Milwaukee, where Heather and Whitney recreate the iconic Laverne & Shirley opening. The next morning, tensions simmer as Bronwyn discusses the previous night’s conflicts with Lisa and Heather, hoping to move forward. Whitney enters Mary’s room and learns about a straightening comb, with Mary pointing out, "It’s a black girl thing."

The women begin their day with a trip to the Miller Beer Caves, followed by a Harley Davidson Museum visit, and later, a drag show. Lisa opts out of some activities and instead goes curling with Britani and Miele, where they have a lighter moment. Meanwhile, Heather confides in Whitney about rumors Meredith shared regarding Whitney’s business, Prizm, which could potentially harm her reputation.

At the beer and cheese tasting, Mary, new to beer, enjoys what’s dubbed the “champagne of beers,” while Lisa and Whitney address underlying tensions over gossip and friendships. Meredith admits to starting rumors about Whitney’s business, leading to a heated confrontation. Whitney expresses frustration that Meredith didn’t come to her directly, calling it gossip.

At dinner, the tension escalates, with Lisa and Angie clashing over trust and loyalty. Angie accuses Lisa of being controlling in their friendship, while Lisa throws a personal jab about Angie’s child, stopping the table in its tracks. The drama culminates when Britani announces her breakup with Jared, calling it her “epiphany,” although the women joke that they may get back together soon.

Later, Bronwyn defends her relationship with Todd, fending off accusations of being a gold digger due to their age difference. The episode ends on a fun note with the housewives attending a drag show, where Whitney's love for drag is celebrated, and the women enjoy a lighthearted dance-off on stage.
