Bravo's original series that started the hit franchise, The Real Housewives of Orange County, returns for Season 7. Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney, Gretchen Rossi, and Alexis Bellino welcome new brunette Heather Dubrow, a former actress and now stay-at-home mother of four, who's married to a prominent Newport Beach plastic surgeon. Reeling from the repercussions of last season's divorces and dissolving friendships, the series once again ventures behind the gates for a scandalous look at the loves and lives unfolding inside one of Southern California's wealthiest communities. Still in the process of divorcing Donn, Vicki puts her house up for sale and introduces the wives to Brooks, her new Southern boyfriend. Vicki is happy and in love, but her kids and some of the women worry that Vicki is moving too fast with a man they barely know. Vicki's problems don't stop there when she learns that daughter Briana not only faces the possibility of cancer, but also delivers shocking news. Longtime foes Tamra and Gretchen finally try to bury the hatchet and begin a blossoming friendship. But this unlikely twosome threatens Tamra's relationship with best friend, Vicki, and Gretchen's romance with boyfriend, Slade. On the precipice of finalizing her divorce from her ex-husband, Tamra readies herself to move forward with boyfriend Eddie, who wants to take their relationship to the next level. But with so much change in her life and her new-found sense of freedom, Tamra is torn between jumping in head first or taking it slow. Gretchen daringly takes to the stage as a singer and dancer with the Pussycat Dolls. And her relationship with Slade is strained when he can't let go of the past and continues to battle with Tamra and Vicki. Alexis gets a job as a correspondent with a local morning news show, contributing to test the boundaries of independence from her husband, Jim. As Tamra and Gretchen become closer, Alexis' tight bond with Gretchen begins to crumble as Alexis stands to lose the only ally she has in this group of women.
HDTV-14VideoStranger Things Have Happened In the seventh season premiere of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," the women all find themselves dealing with lingering drama from last year. As Vicki finalizes her divorce, she's focused on finding happiness, starting with putting the house up for sale and spending time with her new man, Brooks. Busy mom Alexis has a new job as a morning news show correspondent, and after a three-year feud, Tamra and Gretchen meet to bury the hatchet once and for all. Tamra continues to sell real estate to make ends meet, and shows a very expensive property to filthy rich Heather Dubrow - a former actress, now mother of four - whom she later invites to a dinner party at Vicki's house. With tensions high and patience low, Peggy and Alexis come face to face for the first time since last year's bombshell revelation that Peggy dated Alexis' husband. Will the dinner party be a recipe for disaster? HDTV-14VideoSouthern Hospitality At Vicki's tension-filled dinner party, Peggy and Alexis reach a boiling point, and Peggy decides to close the chapter on her friendship with Alexis and the other women. Gretchen poses for a nude photo shoot for a charitable cause, while OC's newest housewife, Heather, has it all and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. Meanwhile, Vicki and Tamra go on an overnight trip to Catalina with their boyfriends that nearly ends before it begins when Tamra overreacts and puts Brooks in an embarrassing situation. HDTV-14VideoThe Honeymoon Is Over New housewife Heather throws a "painting party" to get to know the ladies better. In between brush strokes, Alexis and Vicki make snide remarks to Gretchen and Tamra about their budding friendship, and Alexis is green with envy of Heather's picture-perfect life. After the party, Gretchen and Slade dig up questionable information about Vicki's new boyfriend that is sure to send shockwaves through the OC. HDTV-14VideoWho's Laughing Now Tamra tries to convince Vicki that her friendship with Gretchen won't overshadow their bond, while on the other side of town, Alexis and Heather meet for a doomed lunch to try and work out their differences. Vicki and her daughter Briana have a heart-to-heart about Vicki's new boyfriend, and Briana informs her mother of an upcoming surgery she must undergo. Meanwhile, Slade is trying out a new career -- comedy -- and against Gretchen's wishes, his routine at the Improv is laden with Housewife-insulting jokes. How will Gretchen react when Slade ridicules her friends in public? Heather tells Tamra that she and Vicki were the butt of Slade's jokes in his insulting comedy routine, and Tamra doesn't think it's funny at all. When Tamra tells Vicki about Slade's comedy routine, she feels insulted, but is distracted by her daughter Briana's upcoming thyroid surgery, which could reveal if she has cancer. Alexis works herself into a frenzy over her upcoming nose surgery because she's convinced that her doctor must remove her nose entirely from her face to take off the bump. At Tamra's '80s-themed Bunco Party, a friend brings up Slade's jokes and a simmering controversy explodes into full-on conflict. While Gretchen jumps to Slade's defense, Tamra tries to diffuse the situation by revealing a surprise - much to Vicki's horror. The Bunco Party takes an uncomfortable turn when Slade and some of the OC men, invited by Tamra, join the party. Confronted immediately about the insulting things he said about Vicki in his comedy routine, Slade aggressively defends himself. And though Vicki tries to make a graceful exit, she soon finds herself drawn back inside to have the last word. Jumping to Slade's defense, Gretchen and Vicki get into a vicious screaming match, where Gretchen accuses Vicki of being a hypocrite. And just when everyone thinks the drama is over, Alexis gets defensive when Tamra and Heather call her out on her upcoming nose job. Later, once the party drama has passed, Alexis goes in for her surgery, and Vicki's daughter Briana heads to the hospital to have her thyroid removed, fearing the worst - cancer. A nervous Alexis undergoes sinus surgery, where her plastic surgeon additionally removes a bump from her nose. Meanwhile, Vicki is distraught as Briana's thyroid surgery went worse than expected. Tamra visits her doctor and decides to have her breast implants removed. Heather plans a glamorous trip to L.A. to get some advice on opening a restaurant, but who needs freeways when you can take a helicopter? Gretchen watches a rehearsal of the Pussycat Dolls in preparation for her Las Vegas debut, but will she realize that she's in over her head? Vicki finally gets answers about Briana’s health, while Alexis endures the agony of getting her nose cast removed. Tamra, Gretchen and Heather sustain multiple injuries while participating in a "Mud Run” for charity. Filled with unexpected emotion, Tamra hesitates when finalizing her divorce from Simon. HDTV-14VideoBowling for Champs Both Tamra and Vicki’s romantic relationships are moving full speed ahead. While Eddie stands by Tamra’s side through her breast implant removal surgery, Vicki shares very personal information with Brooks. Alexis continues her work at the local news station, but Jim wants her to return to being a full-time, stay-at-home mom. Later, Heather invites the housewives to a fun night of bowling and champagne, but chaos ensues when Gretchen’s friend Sarah erratically confronts Vicki. Alexis plans a glamorous camping (aka "glamping") trip near Santa Barbara for all the girls, but with her Pussycat Dolls performance only days away, Gretchen decides to skip the trip. Tamra, also staying home as she recovers from her breast implant removal surgery, is paid a visit by Vicki, who reveals that she's becoming friends with Alexis. Skeptical of this newfound friendship, Tamra doesn’t believe for one second that Vicki will survive a night with Alexis in the woods. During the glamping trip, will the housewives relish nature or long for the luxuries they’re accustomed to?
