The episode
starts off where it ended last week. Big Ang is getting her house ready to throw
a Christmas Party to all the girls. As we all learned last week both Renee and
Love canceled to attend, Renee doesn’t want to be around Carla and Love has the
flue. Drita is the first to arrive and Big Ang gives Drita the scoop about
Ramona's engagement. Both Karen and Ramona arrive and the ladies start talking
about Love and Renee. Both Karen and Ramona voice how they are not fond of
Carla for how she reacted to Renee and holding a butter knife at their last
meeting. Shorty after Carla arrives. Ramona and Karen sgive Carla the cold
shoulder, you can tell how awkward it is and you can literally cut the tension
with a knife, no pun intended! Soon after Karen decides to break the ice and
confronts Carla by telling her, she is the reason why Renee was a no show at
Ang’s Christmas party.
Both Karen and Ramona tell Carla they are not so happy
for the way she treated Renee, holding the knife and calling her a junkie.
Carla tries to defend herself by saying she was tired of Renee making up lies
about her. Drita hates feeling like she has to pick sides but agrees if someone
waved a knife to her she would have stabbed someone which Ramona agrees. Big
Ang feels Karen and Ramona shouldn’t comment about Carla and Renee since they weren’t
there when Carla and Renee meet. Shortly after Carla says she’s happy to hear Renee
is doing well and thinks maybe she had something to due with Renee’s sobriety
which pisses off both Karen and Ramona. Then Ramona and Karen decide to leave
early since they have to pack to go to Arizona
the next day.
The next day Ramona
and Karen arrive to Arizona
to visit Karen’s ex, Dave. Meanwhile back in NYC, Renee invites Ang, Drita and
Love over to her house. She explains to them she needs to feel protected in her
home and has decided to get an attack dog for protection. Back in Arizona , Karen and
Ramona arrive to Karen's house and discover Dave is not home, just the dog.

to meet his girlfriend Rebecca, especially if she’s around Karina. Dave
