Summary

Hosts Ronnie and Ben recap Ladies of London Season 4 Episode 9, analyzing the escalating conflict between American cast member Margo and British cast member Mark following a garden confrontation. The episode culminates in Margo leaving the Longleat estate early after a panic attack, while the remaining cast enjoys a drama-free dinner celebrating their host Emma's estate.

Insights
  • Reality TV manipulation tactics (panic attacks, blocking, victim narratives) are increasingly transparent to audiences and backfire when deployed by cast members lacking authentic emotional depth or cultural understanding of their peer group
  • Humor and wit function as social currency in tight-knit British social circles; cast members without these skills struggle to integrate and resort to confrontational tactics that isolate them further
  • Postpartum vulnerability combined with status anxiety (beauty-based power loss in non-LA context) creates a toxic spiral where cast members double down on failed strategies rather than adapting
  • Homophobic language, even when claimed as unintentional, carries disproportionate weight in LGBTQ+-inclusive spaces and cannot be reframed through cultural relativism without losing social standing
  • The show's appeal derives from authentic leisure and camaraderie rather than manufactured drama; forced conflict narratives undermine the viewing experience and audience goodwill
Trends
Authenticity as competitive advantage in reality TV: shows with genuine friendship dynamics outperform those relying on scripted conflictGenerational shift in reality TV: younger audiences reject traditional housewives manipulation tactics (victim narratives, blocking, gaslighting) in favor of transparent, humor-based conflictCultural integration challenges for American reality TV personalities in international casts; lack of local social literacy becomes a liability rather than exotic appealMental health disclosure as narrative tool: panic attacks and postpartum anxiety increasingly weaponized in reality TV to deflect accountability, creating audience skepticismNiche luxury tourism content gaining traction: estate-based reality TV (Longleat, country houses) appeals to affluent audiences seeking aspirational leisure content over interpersonal dramaLGBTQ+ representation in reality TV moving beyond tokenism: gay cast members now expected to have full emotional lives and boundaries, not just comedic relief rolesBritish humor as cultural moat: international casts struggle to compete in wit-based social hierarchies, creating natural conflict and narrative tensionPostpartum mental health visibility in reality TV: increased disclosure but also increased skepticism when used strategically to avoid accountability

But hi, welcome to Watch What Crappings! I'm Ronnie. That's Ben over there. Hello, Ben. Hello, Ronnie. How are you? Good. Welcome to the show, everybody. It's lads of Lund's Day, ladies of London, Episode 9 of Season 1. Next week, we are going to have some very special announcements. So be here to get them, okay? And what else do I have to say? Oh, if you want this recap on video, or you want our bonus episode of Survivor this week, or you want Discord server to talk to each other, or a free weekly blog slash newsletter, or you want ad-free listening, you get that all over at Patreon. And thanks so much to everybody who has been there with us for that. We love you. Can I give a shout out? Can I give a special shout out? I wasn't even planning to do this, but then I was looking at my teacher here, because by the way, I'm sitting in Ronnie's house. If you didn't hear the Beverly Hills recap, I had technical issues in my place, so I moved over to Ronnie's place. So that's why you might be like, huh, what? But anyway, this has nothing to do with that. I was looking at my t-shirt here. I'm wearing the Great Gatsby t-shirt. And it occurred to me that tomorrow is the two-year anniversary of the Great Gatsby opening on Broadway. And I want to give a shout out to my partner Dominique, because he choreographed that. That was his first ever Broadway show that he choreographed. It's an amazing, amazing career triumph that he got to do that. It's what he's been working years and years and years for to be able to choreograph something on Broadway. And it's now been open for two years. And I'm giving an unsolicited shout out to him, but also the Great Gatsby people, people, and they're on a national tour. So if it comes to your city, go check it out and see Dom's work, because he did great work. And if you're in New York City, go watch the Great Gatsby. That's so cool. And did he just win an award for that too? He did. He won an award in London, because there was an East End production that happened earlier in the year. And so he got an award there. And I'm so excited for him and for all his future, you know, all his future Broadway things. But like, I'm a very proud boyfriend. And I think it's tremendous that his show has been still open for two years. That's like really hard to do on Broadway these days. So yeah, check it out. Yeah, it really is. Yeah, good for him. Right on. Congrats, Dom. And I'm going to give him one more shout out. Here's the thing. Not only did he do that, Dom was like the first person ever to create viral Broadway choreography that has never happened before. And there was a whole article recently about how all the Broadway shows are trying to do choreography that'll go viral. That started with Dom with his like new money dance that, you know, you've seen that on TikTok. So I want to give him his flowers for that because I feel like he sort of didn't get the appreciation for being the first choreographer to really do that on Broadway. So I'm just going to I'm just sending love to Dom today. Oh, Dom, where is he now? Is he with you? Yeah, he's he's here in LA. Well, Tom, get the fuck out of my house. No, it's not a whorehouse. Dom, get out of here. But he's in LA right now. Yeah, he's in LA. But now now that we've given Dom all that love, now let's give Ladies of London some fucking love too, because this show is so good. I know I say it every single week, but I said here I come here at on a Thursday, you know, we just talked for a while about Beverly Hills and got ourselves whipped up into a frenzy about Dereet and Kyle and Erica and this and that. And why are you saying that you're such a big blah, blah, blah, blah, and then you just come to Ladies of London and this show is just it's just so perfect to me. I think it's hilarious. I sit there and watch them. There was a segment on tonight's episode when Margot has gone home and they're just all having dinner and they're getting drunk and they're just laughing and joking with each other. And it's like weirdly exhilarating for me. That's like I love, by the way, your camera just zoomed away. Your camera's doing crazy things right now. I mean, I have like a camera little camera thing and turn off. Oh, gestures follow thing. Yeah, funny. I'm like doing my thing and the camera like zoomed out and then zoom back in again. I was like very cinematic over here. Um, no, but like I just love that I can watch these people just laugh and joke in a way and just sort of just be entertained by it and feel like I'm right there. It's very parasocial for me. And also I just find that the way that they laugh and joke is just so much funnier than like anyone else on Bravo. Like when we watch other casts of other shows sit around the table and crack jokes, they're just like not nearly as funny or as interesting as these people are. Yeah, this is a great show. I love every episode. I think there's only one more episode after this one. So I'm bummed. I'm pre-bumped. I'm bummed also. Okay, let's get to it. Season four episode nine way out of line. A don don don't spell W H E Y. Where you have a line. It's cheese. It's a cheesy show. So we are still with people having a fit at the garden party because Margo has tried to have a confrontation with Muck. And he's walking off refusing a com confrontation and she is kind of yelling at him as he goes like, why is a fate mark? And Kimmy's like, oh, shut up Kimmy. It's your real bet. You're a real bet. All right, Margo. You would know and Lottie's like, oh my gosh, if our British mothers could see this, somebody shouting across a garden at the machinous of Baths estate. Oh, our mothers would grow their bangs and extra two inches just to hide their eyes. If only I had a tiny little suit to put around my eyeballs. Our mothers could see this. They would enter Tina Yathers lookalike contest just despite the family. My mother won that by the way. So Margo is still sitting by herself off to the side. And this is still the weirdest move from me where Margo separates herself from everybody else. And then she's like, fine, I'll have a discussion with Mark. Like, okay, let's call people into my office now to have a Margo. You're not that important. Get your ass up and move over to the other table. You weirdo. Yeah. Oh, don't say weirdo. So Margo is like, uh, she's like, she's like, I asked him to come talk to me and he left and I'm like, okay, but he's like my dear. He's like my best friend. He can't leave, you know. So Kimmy walks off. She's like, fucking cry, baby. Bitch. We're all walking cry, baby. Batch of had it with y'all. So Margo does a lot of working. Kimmy does, by the way, in this episode, Kimmy does a lot of really good arm swatting. Like I've had enough of it. Like does a lot of that thing where she's like taking the back of her arm and swatting like a low hanging lantern or something like about enough. It's enough. It's a bitch right now. Too much. And Margo's like, I wasn't yelling. I was just projecting my voice across the garden and then we see flashback to two minutes earlier with her going, come on, Mark, what's wrong? What are you scared of? Just come chat with me. Isn't that yelling in British though? In American, that's like whispering, but in British that's yelling. So I think Americans say anything and British people like, oh God, could you write that? Maybe just write it down. We really can't do anything right. And honestly, I get it. I get it. I'm not complaining. I'm admitting. So Margo's like, well, you can. I'm sorry. She, she says regarding Kimmy, you can take the girl out of Florida, but you can't take a girl from Florida to long lead at scenes. Don, don, don. So then off to the side. Now they're outside the garden like in the opening to this maze thing. And so Kimmy and Mark are talking and he's like, it's almost party and I'm not Margo. Margo, how dare she scream at you across the garden, across the garden. Who screams across the garden? I mean, in America, we're like, go outside and scream at each other in the garden or cry. I know that don't scream at each other inside and hear the like in the garden. We do a lot of our screaming in the garden, but it is, it does feel very British to be like, don't scream in the garden. Don't raise your voice in the garden, not at the garden. The petunias will build. He's like, well, I'm not going to make a scene even though I've just stormed out. So then back and at the tables, Emma is like, Mark is my best friend. He's Henry's godfather and he's capable of great emotional everything. And he just doesn't tend to do that. This is just a sense of humor. I think my head is permanently detached from the neck. Could someone please put it back on? Thank you. So now Martha goes out to Kimmy and Mark and she's like, oh, I handled this badly, Mark. Oh, no, that was horrific. I was horrific, Martha. Well, I handled it badly. I'm sorry. It's fine. Don't take any blame. You don't need to take any blame for the Americans screaming in a garden. And Margot is like, I don't want to get all pissed off. Yeah. She's like, well, I'm, I'm, she's not going to talk about this for me. I'm going to go over there and talk. So Martha doesn't have to stick up for me. So she goes over there now and Martha is like, well, what she's upset about is she feels you pay her a compliment and that, well, she'll get over it. She'll get over it. But the minute that she leaves, you're mean about whatever you complimented. And Kimmy goes, oh, who cares? Take, oh, she doesn't understand. Martha says, well, she's not English. She hasn't been living here. She doesn't understand that that's our love language is to compliment you and destroy you on the same breath. Oh, give me a fucking break, Martha. She lives in fucking Los Angeles. She's an actress, Martha. I love Kimmy's default is the shit on Los Angeles. I just adore it. Well, I mean, look at her. She lives in a place that loves a place called in and out. Okay, I'll tell you what I'm into. Currently going out. Okay. So now everybody's basically coming out and out to them and Martha's like, well, she hasn't been living here, Kimmy. She doesn't understand the culture. Oh, God, what? This is so bad. This was just so bad. So Margot comes up now. He's like, well, I'm not going to have some sort of confrontation. And my friend's garden. I refuse. Well, why don't you just have like a chat with me? Because I have nothing to say. But I'm not confrontational to you. Kimmy's like, yeah, Los Angeles over there. Oh, you turned it into a boxing match. It's an afternoon tea. It's we're not sitting on top of the Hollywood sign. So then Missy comes out showing our larger show something here. It's like, oh, don't get it's like, don't get involved. Don't get involved. So Margot is like, she's like, I said, why don't you come over and chat with me, Mark? Yeah. And he's like, oh, I can't do it. I have nothing to say, nothing to say at all. And so Missy is like, oh, stop getting involved, Kimmy. Just please stop getting involved. Let them deal with it. So she takes Kimmy away. I'm surprised Kimmy let her. But Kimmy's like, all right, all right, fine. And Margot's like, well, you have so much to say earlier. Mark is like, oh, are we going to go back to crushed velvet? Please. I can't. This jumpsuit is the bane of all their existences. Margot's like, no, we're not going to go back to thinking that my alaya isn't good enough for Longley. He's like, oh, well, it's not that it's not good enough. It's that it's transparent, just like a personality. It's like, oh, so. Okay. Well, then you have things to say then same to me. He's like, no, no. Why are you scared? Are you scared to talk to me? No. And he takes her arms. He's like, darling, I'm not scared of you. She's like, oh, don't touch me. Do not touch me. I mean, I'm sorry, but do not touch me. Okay. Well, I'm not. I'm not scared to talk to you. I just don't care to talk to you. That's it. So Margot's like, but then why are you so obsessed with me that you talk about me all the time? Oh, darling, who wouldn't be obsessed with you? Have you seen yourself? Which is just the best read the best British reading you get. And so like, oh my God, you're so weird and creepy. Oh, I'm creepy. Okay. No, you are. You're like a weird, creepy masked clown. I mean, God. So he turns and starts walking away and she's like, oh, whatever. Prance away, Mark. Prance away. Listen, now you've officially stepped over the line. Okay. That's it. And at least they tell her in this show, you know, we don't like really have to explain it, but what the fuck is wrong with you? She's made so many comments that are veering where it's like, is she? Is she saying that? But now with her full on prance away, you can fuck right off. It's time for commercial. It's time for a Crap in commercial. Hi, this is Joe from Vanta.

Your capital is at risk. And that's it's funny because that's not the thing that she gets hammered for. It's she gets hammered for calling him weird, which then gets turned into she said the word freak. But like, yeah, the weird like weird is like, it's I don't know, like it could be taken that way, but it could she could also be like, like stop. Like you're like she's just coming up with a retort your mean, but prancing away that is now officially homophobic and you are making fun of the fact that he's gay and people could come at you for lots of things they have before in the past on screen. But I think when the moment that you start like getting homophobic like that prancing, you are on the gayest show on Bravo and you better you better take that all back. Yeah, it's it's just gross, you know, and yes, Mark has been coming for her to, but you know, the difference is Mark says, well, I heard she's an actress and she's being fake. Okay, that's one thing, but then your retaliation is really? Well, I hear his family kicked him out. What speak to him and yeah, cause he's gay. You fucking homophobic little witch, you know, what's wrong with you? Who's like who goes out low? So I don't blame him. I think that he heard that. I think that he heard that she said that because of course they told him, you know, they tell, especially Missy, she's running around, tattle-telling on everybody. So I'm sure he heard that and he's like, I don't want anything to do with this homophobe, you know, so he's not going to talk to you. He's not going to give you some confrontation on TV and you're not going to get it. And if he's, if you don't like him making catty little comments about you, then learn how to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Mark goes just this is, yeah, she just really sucks. So learn how to fight in the arena that you're in. You loser. You absolute you, you absolute loser of a human being. And then you do exactly what we think you do, what you're going to do. You turn into a crying white lady and start your little tears, like you're the victim of everything and start saying panic attack and using your victim cloak of panic attacks and mental health and all this other shit. You're just a nasty, nasty witch. And like the, really the crux of her argument is that you're saying things behind my back. It's just like lady, this is, this is, it's small potatoes. Everyone's telling you to get over it because everyone's like, yeah. Like it's fine. Move on. She will not. She's fixated on this and she's being, you've also been doing it the whole time to him and everybody, you say things behind his back all the time. You started off the season by calling Dara a prostitute and spreading that rumor around that came from her and then taking Dara's place when Dara ended up leaving the show. So please with you talking behind people's backs. By the way, someone on threads, I like post something like, oh my God, my is a London so good. And then one person responded back saying the first two episodes were good and then it's been boring ever since. I was like, you're Dara, aren't you? You, this is Dara who was, who was messaging me with their Finsta. Right. Dara's friend from that restaurant. Like we will not talk about Dara behind her back. You're the only person who believes the first two episodes were the best episodes and the rest were boring. The only person who would say that would be Dara or her friend. So Mark just walks away and Martha's like, oh God, come on, Morgoth. Prance away, Mark. What? He is weird. He is and said, Mark, don't go. It's time to leave. In fact, it was time to leave 10 minutes ago. And so he is trying to sort of like, you know, have the stignified exit, but he is actually in a maze right now. And he can't figure out how to get out of the maze. And he's like, I've spent 15 years going around this maze and the one time I need to make a swift exit. It actually works bloody hell. And you just see him like, try to be like, how do I get out of this maze? He's walking. So it's like, I'm leaving. Okay. I've hit wall. I will try. I will try this way. I will dammit. Dammit. Yeah. Cause those garden mazes are really simple because they don't have a lot of space to become confusing, but I guess if you're in a tizzy, it's just the hardest thing in the world. Yeah. So now Margo comes back and Margo's like, he just walked away again. Oh, well, he's fuming. He's fuming. Yeah. And he goes, I will not have a confrontation with you. And I said, well, why are you obsessed with me? And he said, darling, who wouldn't be obsessed with you? And I was like, you're fucking weird. Ladi's like, but that's a joke. Margo's like, but it's weird. But again, let me emphasize. It's a joke. And I was like, I don't like that if you're upset, but I also don't think it's that serious. How many times do people at higher stations in life have to tell you to shut up before you actually shut up? And Micah. Margo, my best etiquette advice is stupid, stupid girlfriend. He doesn't banter with me. Martha's like, because you're scary. You just went in so confrontational and it was not nice. How was it nice shouting across the garden as confrontational? Like, why would you shout? Why would you even shout like that? I was on this road. You should whisper like when I said, shut up, you dumb bitch. Margo did say at one point where she was a sort of a fair point at the top of the episode. She's like, you know, me, I wasn't shouting. I was just, I was speaking to him, but Kimmy's literally screaming shut up, you fucking bitch across the garden and no one gets mad at her. But she's funny when she does it. She's funny and has a fake British accent. Everyone loves Kimmy. That's the difference. It was also retaliation when you escalated it in the first place, you know? Yeah. So you started the screaming. So you raised it to the screaming level and you brought it to that level, man. So Martha's like, oh, I've handled this so badly that whole shouting across the garden thing. I mean, that was my fault. It was my fault. Hot blink, hot blink. And Mark is now leaving in a van. I mean, geez, he really is out of there. So Margo gets up to get her coat because no one's on her side. She's like, I lost this one and Kimmy's saying it's inappropriate. It's inappropriate. What does my friend have to leave and I have to be stuck with her? I don't want to sit with her. I mean, she's boring. I mean, that was just unreal. Like I thought we're having a nice time. Here's the thing. We are. We are having a very nice time. And if you guys are feeling upset about this, I did bring some puppets. So if you'd like to set back, I would love to teach you all about your etiquette in puppet form. Is that okay with everyone? Oh, God, if we're going to stick our hands up anybody's asses to see some how to behave, start with Margo. I think that we're just sort of going in circles. Literally, Mark is still working on that maze. So you want to check in with him? Yep. You just back at the start again. Okay. Try the try the right this time, Mark. Try the right. Okay. We'll see how he goes. I found a comquod. All right. Officially taken the wrong left again. All right. Maybe we should just go to our rooms and have a little rest. Right. So they get up and they all go to get some rest and Emma's like, well, who wants to take this bottle of Jim and Kim and Martha start fighting over it? I want it. It's mine. Give it to me, you dumb hooker. Give it to me. So they go back to their cottages and Margo and Micah and Lottie like Margo like climbed through the window to get in because they forgot their key. And and then they're just like laughing about that. And the other one, Kimmy makes this omelet. And like this is before we learned that she went to culinary school because the one of the first episodes, she was like in her kitchen, cooking a bunch of clams in a pan. And I was like, oh, it's just not a sight you really see on Bravo is just cooking pan clams in a skillet. And now she was like doing some omelet work. I was like, what's going on with Kimmy that she can get in front of a stove top and do fun things in the skillet? And then we find out that she actually has a background in this. Like this woman just gets better and better to me. I love her. I'm obsessed with her. I'd need to be her friend. When the world is collapsing, if you make an unctuous omelet, you know, something bubbles, it soothes all the edges. It really does. It makes the world a bottom place. And I love that when she describes that she puts her hands in the air and does like jazz hands. She's like, bubbles. She like fix her like claws out like there's something that's quiet. Bubbles about it. And it does look like a really good wet omelet like like a nice beautiful sumptuous one. And she's like, well, I feel bad. You know, my daughter is really upset because I'm gone. So she's like, well, are you and I was like, I'm getting drunk somewhere. A daughter. Mine is really upset too. Yeah. Well, I know she's like, why are you leaving me? And I thought, oh God, she doesn't understand. I told her I'm a day. So you're going to miss me. And he said, no, he got that. So then, um, uh, then they're like eating this omelet. It's like dripping everywhere. They do. That's actually a really good omelet. That's been so long since I've had an omelet that didn't have little magpie feathers in it. So then the other cottage and it's like, hello, I'm here to check in because I has the host. I'm obligated to make sure that the American feels okay. Margot, are you okay? Yeah. So Margot's just sitting there giving pouty looks on the couch and they're all just trying to ignore her basically. Well, Mark said he left. He didn't want to have a scene for my sake, which always is not like my preference. Obviously, but that's stint mainly of him. Yeah. And Margot's like, well, I didn't want him to leave. I literally wanted him to come talk to me. I didn't want him to leave. Well, he didn't want to have a shouting match. Well, no, he'd left because he didn't want to have a conversation. And Emma's like, well, all you ever said to you is like about your boots or whatever. And Margot's, it wasn't the comment. It's the feeling you have when you're being nice to your face and you know you turn around and they're laughing with other people. It's very uncomfortable. It's like, well, you have to deal with that then. This is, well, this is you. You have to deal with, you just have to deal with how you're going to, like it's not nice, sure, but also like you're an adult and like just move on. Look, I mean, here's the thing. Margot's dead to me, but I see what Margot is saying. I mean, there is like a level of cattyness. She's not one of the popular kids and now that she's not with the popular kids, they're literally laughing in her face. Like they're standing in another clique. They're laughing in her face and I get it. But the way that she's, I get why that would be hurtful, but A, she's, this didn't come out of nowhere. She's also doing the exact same thing to them. She's mocking them. She's mocking their voices. She's doing it as loud Lee as she can so they can hear her. She's trying to start fights and it's not working. And now she's getting to the point where she's like demanding them to come over and fight. No one, you know, I can see why she would be hurt because you're losing a battle that you're kind of a part of making happen. This didn't come out of thin air and you don't have a right to talk to somebody. Like just because you want to have a conversation doesn't mean they have to sit down and talk to you. You don't have that right and you've been a dick. So I don't, I don't blame them for not wanting to talk to you. Yeah. I understand like it sucks. It sucks that like they're being caddy or whatever, but then you're like going over and you're trying to sort of like be confrontational and you're not like making it better and you're, you're just really not helping it. And like you said, you're already sort of doing it. You know, Margo sort of reminds me of like there was like this every now and then there'd be like this, this, I feel like in my childhood or like when I was teenage or whatever, I've known then there'd be like a girl who would just be like, and I'm not saying it was a specific girl, but there'd be like for some reason and it was, there was like, they would come in and out of my life and be like, Ben, you're gay. Why don't you just like, just like come out and be done with it already? This sort of this like annoying confrontational like in and in a poking like, like finger poking. And I, it was always so obnoxious and I always could not stand when I would, when, when people, people like Margo would come into my life and I fully get my mark is like, get rid of this girl. I can't deal with it. Like she is just the worst cause I'm, I guarantee she, he probably dealt with Margo's and his childhood as well. Yeah. Margo seems like one of those people to me that is getting by on her looks and her sexiness, you know, she's always, she's always walking around like see through things and she is gorgeous, but she's an actor who became famous from a very sexualized thing. She's married to some homely guy. She met at a party in LA like obviously based on her looks. She's, and that's not a bad thing, but I think she's in this situation now where she's not in a regular acting role where beauty is so important. She's not in LA where beauty is so important and she's talking to a man who doesn't give a shit about her beauty. So she's all of her superpowers are useless here, you know, and she's trying to, she's trying to fight with people with their superpowers, which are humor, you know, which they've had to develop to deal with assholes like her their whole life and she doesn't have it. She doesn't have the wit or the humor to deal with it and she just doesn't know what to do. You know, she's powerless in this room and I think it's, it's bugging her. Yeah. I think that obviously he uses his humor as a way to see who are the people that he's safe around like, like who are the people who get his humor? Cause they're the ones that he can feel himself around and he can't feel himself around Margo. And I think she also is testing and she can't feel safe around him and they are both like just causing this terrible vortex of hatred. So either way, everyone in the cast is like, oh my God, this is so annoying and and Mark is at least funnier than Margo is. So we're taking Mark's side. So Margo is now being like, I know what I'm to leave or whatever. And I'm as like, but it wasn't that deep. It wasn't about anything personal, was it? Cause I lived in England long enough to know banter. Okay. Like I know the back and forth. I see what he's doing with you. I see what he does with Kimmy. I understand. I'm not stupid. So she is clearly like having some like flashback to being left out of some cool group when she was a kid because this seems like she is like living out something from her childhood here. Well, it's also true. It is happening. They are laughing. They are. They do have banter that they don't have with you, but that banter is earned, you know, and you don't, you haven't earned it and you've been the same. You've been giving as good as you get, lady. Like you're standing off at the side of every party. Like making Mark voice and stuff like that. Like you're doing it too. And calling Kimmy a stupid drunk and everything else that you've done, you know, to act like some victim, like they just don't like me. They don't like Lee. They don't like you because you're being yourself. So a lot of these like, but this is Mark's brand. The Brits understand what he's doing, but there's one American who doesn't understand and her name begins with an M and ensign and all go. It's not a British thing. They're trying to make the cultural difference, different excuse of him being an asshole, but he's just being an asshole. And I think really that Margot thought she was going to be the star of the show. She's like, I'm famous. You know, they know me in England. Um, I'm beautiful. I'm funny because she is actually funny with when she wants to be. So I think she thought she's going to be the star and she's not the star and she's spiraling. And when people think that they're going to be the center of attention and they're not, they lose their mind. And I think that's what she's going through right now. She tells everybody else there. She's like, you guys talk to him and they're like, oh God, you know, they're Jesus. Yeah. Here comes one right now. At now, West, we know the power of a family that's got you back.

So now it's the next morning and Kimmy and Missy are sending videos to their kids and then Lottie, Micah, Margot are having breakfast and no one's talking to Margot and Margot is just pouting and being a brat. And then we go to Lottie, Margot and Micah and Micah is like, oh, so Margot and I, we talked today. The vibe is fun. We're going to have fun today, right? We're going to have fun today. That is the plan is to have fun. So then Kimmy's like the other, the other place they're having fun like, oh my God, you know, it's, you know, your boobs are real when you have to wash underneath them. Please pass the blonde to blonde. I'm going to start the day like everybody should start. I was a shot of Patron. She's not Margot like so funny. It's like, I don't want yesterday's events to ruin Emma's plan day today. I really hope I don't come across as an attention seeker because I'm just very much myself. So they are, the whole plan is that they're going to be doing, doing various activities. Uh, they're going to go to Cheddar, which is somehow it's actually part of the long lead estate because long lead owns everything. Long lead Emma literally is like she owns Cheddar cheese. Like that is wild to me. I'm sorry. This is great. This is a great neighborhood, but you know the family that owns Munster. I'd love to meet them. I can't believe it. So, um, they are going to be, they're going to split up into cars and obviously Margot and Mark will not be in the same car. So they're getting into their black cars and first we're with Emma, Micah, Kimmy, Martha and Mark. Well, we're just all with them anyway. And Kimmy is like, so I'm a how's your knowledge? Like that I went for a nightcap with them. And oh, you know what? The one thing I did say to Margot guys, I said, moving forward the way that you communicate, you just need to be very careful because if you yell across a garden, that's not a way to start a conversation. I mean yelling across a garden. Even my puppets wouldn't do that. Not a garden. So vulgar vulgar vulgar. So now we go to the van outside with Lottie, Missy and Margot and Missy's like, I love you, Margot, but I did feel bad about Mark. She goes, oh my God, I never did anything to begin with. Come on. And she goes, but you called him a freak. And so we see the flashback till last night and then back to Mark. Mark's like, well, she told me I'm a freak that I shouldn't touch her. Why are you so obsessed with me? Don't touch me. You're a freak. So Margot has a reasonable excuse with no excuse. She can say I never called him a freak because we see that she called him weird, but not a freak. And luckily she totally. She said it was a longer quote than that. I'm going to look at it. Well, it doesn't matter because she goes, well, I mean, maybe I did call him a freak. I do find him freaky. He is a freak. I was like, oh, well, she said. Yeah. She said he's weird and creepy, a creepy masked clown and then told him to prance away. Right. She never said the word freak, but she still calls him a freak anyway. She was like, well, yeah. So I was like, okay, well, I for sure thought I was going to be a, I never said freak. I said weird, but not freak. I never called him a freak, but she's like, no, he's a freak. Like, okay, that's that is that is homophobic. Now, now you've officially doubled down. You had a chance to actually not go that path and you've been like, you're like, I'm going to stand in. I'm going to call him a freak. Yeah, totally. But you can't call him a freak though. No, let me tell you why because I was walking across online and I was like, no, you shouldn't call anyone a freak. That's not nice. I mean, Mark is the only gay man in the group and it just feels like calling him a freak is just very personal. Singling him out like that. You can't fight nastiness with nastiness. I mean, I'm sure his whole life he's been called names the same way that my husband's had his whole life being called names. I mean, it's not fun being called Helen a Bonham Carter when you're a boy in the sixth grade. That's it. And I just don't think it's fair and I don't think it's kind and I'm not on board with that. So then Mark is like, she run after me cause we're in the other, the other van. Kimmy's like, you know, you can let me tell you something. You can call someone. I'm sorry. You can't on a different sexual persuasion of freak. You just can't do that. It's not PC. I don't think that's what she meant to give me. Oh, really? Well, I'll tell you what that means. Then Martha like came here came in. Say no, Martha Martha. She did mean it. No, she didn't not. Margot. She means so well. Is like Martha. I'm gonna get out. I'm gonna get out of this car. Martha. I don't get out of the car to come. I got out of the car. Please don't get out of the car. I spent 20 years being treated like a freak. Okay. I was like, oh God, I'm sorry. And he's like, I will not in Emma's house be run after as a branded freak. I will not. When he gets like weirdly emotional and how Mark gets emotional is like in a Shakespeare play, which cracks me up. He's like, I will not my entire life. I was like, yes, girl. Go get that Olivier. That for me was the fucking line. I spent my whole life trying to deal with this. I can't even introduce my partner to my parents. Okay. The person that I want to marry. I cannot even introduce to my parents to be fair. My parents demand that we both appear as sailors, but that's besides the point when I can't even have a normal life because guess what? It's I'm not normal. Do you know what that is like? Martha's like, oh, as someone completely normal mark. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it like that. And he's like, no, I don't want pity. I hate pity and I don't feel sorry for myself. And she's like, okay, I'm sorry. And he's like, but is that like okay? And Kim, he says, oh, she's a bully, a bully. So here's what I learned from this. First, Mark has emotions, which was nice to see second, fuck his parents, but thanks for the money. And third of all, who's this partner girl? You better get your part on here. What are you, Kyle Richards? Get, get your fucking get your Morgan Wade on here. It's going to be someone in a powdered wig based on that house. So someone I'm telling you this person is wearing an ascot right now. He's wearing an ascot and a silk robe sitting somewhere gorgeous. So Emma's like, I've never seen Mark that emotional actually and how long have we been friends for 15 years or something like he's had some struggles. I still don't know all about them. So yes, really serious. I'm like, that's because you don't ask each other questions. You guys get drunk and make catty remarks, but this is the first time you've ever had a conversation about your personal lives. It's cold society, Ben. You don't ask questions in the garden. So then in the boring van, the Margo van, Margo's like, he is a freak. He is a freak. Babe, don't, don't bite. You know, cause she's actually the last one who shares the comments because they actually come from your friends. Okay. Oh my God, Mark said the velvet dress was the bad, but two people already shared that before you Margo. And then something else about the outfit and how about, and about how you have a brand and money and all this shit and like this is all shots very vain. Margo, this is kind of like, uh, stop it. You have to get yourself together because you're saying these things too. And also you're blaming Mark when other people are saying these things. You can't single Mark out. Yeah. And she's like, yeah, we're all saying your clothes suck. And you know what? And you have brands and money and all this shit like that. You sound very vain. And we see a flashback to Marco going, it's a liar. Maybe you would know if you knew what Clueless wise. It's like, you know what I mean? I mean, you look very vain. It's like, no, I mean, the things I'm buying are like a literal artwork, like their archive artworks and they should be celebrated just like your pieces are celebrated. Lottie and Lottie's like, just take it down and not styling. I mean, I don't have an aspirin to specifically deal with the sound of American. All right. It's like, no, no, you're like saying really mean things to me and that makes me more insecure. And then you're like, why are you acting like this? Like God, we're just being peacekeepers. And I'm like, you just told me extra mean shit that I don't need to know. Like stop telling me things that people are saying by my back. They literally said nothing that was extra mean. And it also just goes to show like this is how like for as much as Margot's like, I've been in here for 15 years. I understand how it goes. You clearly don't because you're sitting here saying I'm wearing artworks. They need to be celebrated. Do you see the people that are around you? They don't care. They're not sitting here. They're not like real house has a Beverly Hills like, oh, what are you wearing? What are you wearing? What are you wearing? They are just wearing their clothes. This is quite luxury. You have you have Emma who has an enormous giant country estate. She literally owns cheddar cheese and you're going to try to be like, but let's celebrate my artwork that I'm wearing. It's like, bitch, this is not the time or the place you don't know anything about these people and how they how they their relationship with wealth and material objects. She's also arguing this whole time. Well, Mark, if you have something to say to me about my clothes and say it to my face and so now they're saying it to her face and she's like, how could you say this to my face? She's insecure about this because she's she is like she she's like she cares about these brands that she's bought. She thinks she's being fabulous and no one cares about them. No one cares about what she has to say and no one's laughing at her jokes and she is unraveling because of it. Yeah. So now we go over to cheddar and so Mark switches modes. He's like, so when did cheddar become a property of long lead? For a long time, actually. It's like, oh, I didn't know it was actually owned by long lead. That's wild. Emma's like, yeah, for a whole other. So a whole other thing to manage is just the difference set of skills. Seriously, we try to get the giraffes to make the cheese, but they won't cooperate. So just more work for me. Feeding koalas is not the same as making cheese. So meanwhile in Margo and and Lottie and Missy's van, Margo is continuing to cry and Missy's like, I have to pee. I have to pee. I have to get out. I'm going to we I'm going to we I'm going to we. So she runs out to the bathroom. I guess I'm crying. It's really bugging with me. She pulls an Emmy from Southern hospitality and I'm buying this one just about as much. So Missy's like Margo's not winning. She went too personal because it was impulsive and now she thinks the whole world is against her. God thank God for bathrooms. So she's running to the lieu and then Lottie gets out of the car just thank God like get me out of here and Margo's still in there. Now we see 10 minutes later and Margo's like do you need medical attention? She's like, I don't know what's happening. I think I'm having a panic attack. Shall we take you to hospital? Can there be any possibility we could remove you from this television show so we can enjoy this scene we're trying to shoot? Thank you so much. Yeah, Lottie's like she's having a breakdown. Oh God. And she's like laying in the seat of the van like you know and full on. Histrionic mode and so now they go sit on this bench and Wallace and Gromit is like this big statue like book ending the bench so they put down on it and she's sobbing. She's sobbing next to this big cartoon sculpture and like they're like cracking like Lottie's cracking up like this stupid American sobbing next to this thing and like not even like not even Margo can laugh at this. She's taking herself so seriously right now. I mean look I have respect for a panic attack but it feels like this was just purely brought on by Margo like she's just just trying to get out of a tough situation. Yeah, I feel like there's people who are going to be listening for like how dare you I have panic attack. We are not talking about you calm down. I don't know you. I'm talking about this specific lady in this moment. I'm not buying this for two seconds. Sorry. No, I'll buy it. It's the most convenient panic attack I've ever seen. So they're like, okay, well, maybe you know, I can't breathe and missy's like, well, you know, maybe it's hormonal things going on here. You did just have a baby. She's like, yeah, yeah, maybe that's it. Thank you. Maybe maybe that's it. Yeah, yeah. So the meanwhile in the fun van they arrive and they start taking their Cheddar tour and Mike is like maybe it's the American in me, but I really wanted Cheddar to be from Vermont. Um, okay, well, this is a very first of all, this guy comes running out. It's like they're here. They're here. He's like, hello. What's your name? Welcome. Welcome to Cheddar. It's a very special place. It's made here in the village of Cheddar since 1170 King Henry the second on the throne. What was he doing? Making Cheddar. Not like Henry the eighth. Oh, God, a little ugly. We wish we'd given him a hobby. God things got ugly with that one. But Cheddar anyway. Back then they were maturing cheese in the caves because obviously we didn't have refrigeration back then. So a cave was a natural place to keep a cheese. Well, I'm glad that's something around here is trying to be mature. So then over at the other place, this is where Margot is like is having a her panic attack now in front of walls and grommet and Lottie's like, I mean, how long is this woman going to cry next to one of walls and grommet, which is just the most comedic thing ever. I'm trying not to laugh. I mean, honestly, Margot is freaking people out. They're little kids walking by. She's crying her eyes out and they're like, what's so scary in that cave? And we do see at one point when they're walking up towards that bench, Margot just stops and starts sobbing and there was like a lady who was like walking up the path to like a tourist and sees Margot and then just turned around goes the other direction. Like I'm not going to be there crying American. No, thank you. So then the other group are doing a cheese tour and talking about the milk tankers and all this stuff. And then we see Kimmy and she's like, what exactly of the chattering process? Tell us all about it. Can't wait to hear about chattering. But every time you layer you stack the Chet occurs and it's a process called chattering. Oh, so and this is exactly why you can call it chatter in other countries because of the process. It's like, yes, exactly. Chatters action Anglo-Saxon word for Cudor, which means hidden place, which refers to the caves where the cheese was first originated. So it's a lot of history. Oh, well, that's fascinating. Here's an Anglo-Saxon word for dumb fucking idiot because that's what we're going to call our friend Margot after this. Back to the bench. Margot's like. So the producers are like, okay, I guess we'll take her back to Longley. Geez. So they terribly sorry, ma'am, but there's a there's a law that you're not allowed to show this many emotions in the English countryside. So we'll have to take you back to London if you don't mind. You have officially gone against the Wallace and Gromit law. No crying on park benches. Unfortunately, Americans are only allowed to have a certain number of emotions per day and you've gone over your quota. We'll have to take you back to the city now. So Kimmy is talking about how she went to cooking school and she's like, I know all about these kinds of outfits because I have to put on like rubber gloves and stuff like that. And she's like, I find it kind of hard. I mean, no man would say that to know to a woman that knows how to make a shot. I'd love when she has her like little witticisms that sometimes don't even really make sense, but she sort of sells them because she's sort of like shimmies her her her like chess board and raises her chin. She's like no man would say no to woman that knows how to make a shot. It's like, what are you saying? Like, I mean, no man, whatever denial woman who's ever held a dust box or a one hand and the cheese doodle in the other. My wife. So Mark's they're like, do you like Barata marketing? It's like, oh, God, it's clingy and it's a lot to swallow. And I was like, oh, God, you've never said that before. Hold on. Let me do an American thing. That's what she said. Okay, you got that on camera. Congratulations. Marching us. That's how they say it in America. That's what Henry the second said. You know, Anne Boleyn gave the first that's what she said joke. It's what got her up in that attic in the first place. We own her actually. We own her ghosts. If you think you need to go to Paris fast and weak think again. You need to come to Cheddar golds, darling. Look at these outfits. By the way, Mark is having the fun. He's he's like cracking up at all like the cheesy elements of this tour because it is a tourist destinations. There's a lot of thing that's like Cheddar gorgeous gorgeous Cheddar gorgeous gorgeous Cheddar and he's like, oh look here we are at gorgeous Cheddar. Look at look at the simple tours and drawing their Cheddar. Is this the first time you've ever had Cheddar before? Oh, welcome. So Lottie and Missy are back having lunch there. I feel so bad. They're like stuck at the most depressing area in the world and everyone else is having so much fun. And they're like, do you think they got no activity? They are sad sandwiches in this cafeteria. I guess Missy okay. It's like she's better, but you know, she has a lot going on. And so like, yeah, she can't really fight nasty with nastiness so they try and call her to make sure she's okay, but she won't answer the phone. So instead they call Micah and tell her what's going on. And they're like, she's having like some sort of a panic attack in the car. We arrived at the caves. Now she's looking, she's going back. I don't know. Please do something. Please. We spoke to the the medic on set and they said that Margot was having an acute case of Americaness and we thought that's terrible. So they're going to try to get us a medication probably give us a VELVETA and perhaps watching some depraved television shows things like that and hoping for the best. She has tonight a state some just generic states of anitis. Please, please help her. Missy's like, yeah, I told it wasn't cool. You were shouting across the garden and you go and call him freak and that's not okay. And she thought we were like attacking her and Micah's like, oh wow. Oh, are you okay there Micah? Oh, darling. What's wrong darling? You're right darling. So like, well, I'm okay, but I just got a call that Margot's unwell. Does she have a case of atoitis? Did she drip? And I was like, oh, how unwell. She's well. She had some sort of like severe panic attack. I think she's been triggered by everything. Oh, so you mean that she's sad. Oh God, what's triggered? What is this a foreign language? Please, is she sad? Is that what you're saying? She's sad. So Martha's like, oh, you guys, excuse me. Not like that Kim. He's like, don't bring me that triggered shit. We're not doing that here. Kimme doesn't give a fuck. So Martha's like, excuse me, excuse me. So Emma is like, well, I hope that she's all right. That was a joke. That's what she said and that she was me. So Kimme is like, oh yeah, well, I hope she's all right. Whatever. So Martha's like trying to call Margot. But Margot is not taking Martha's call because we knew this would happen. We knew that Martha was going to get burned because she's in the middle of this feud and she's trying to play both sides. And I think that like, you know, I think Kimme has been pretty good about when she's been frustrated with with Martha. Martha's sort of like on the fence roll with this. She's just said it right to Martha's face and then Martha's defense at her position and Kimme's like, well, whatever. I so love you. Well, whatever. And then they just get on with it. But Margot, of course, now is going to make Martha feel so bad. And I think it's, yeah, it is. And I've thought this whole time watching this, you know, Martha is going to bat like this for her, but Margot would never do this for Martha. And we've even seen it like at the beginning, which is like, I won't be your friend if you don't get your shit together, Martha, which I get the sentiment because I've been friends with people who were a mess too. And you're like, you know, get it together. But at the same time, like someone who's going through it, you don't just be like, I have to back away from this friendship. If you don't get it, it's like that girl's cut and run. The second thing. She is. So Martha's fighting to the map for her, but will Margot do the same? I mean, Margot just used you to get on a TV show. And as we've seen many times on these shows that never last, they always betray your ass. Well, Margot is also going to try to pull the reality star thing of like, you have to have my back. If you don't have my back that we're not friends. It's like a really, really annoying thing. I don't know if it's an American thing, but it's just like a tire, some, you know, a cliche on these shows. Like you don't have my back. I mean, cause while we will find out is that her issue is that like, yes, she defends me, but then when she's with me, she's always critical of me. So she really have my back. It's like, oh my God, get over it. Yeah. She's a child. So I'm like, oh God, even our cheese tasting is about her. I've got too much for me. I can't take out. I can't take out. So Martha's just distraught in the background, listening to voicemail over and over. And then we go back to Missy and Ladi and Ladi's like, you know, I'm going to have to throw this crystal away because I bought it with me two days in a row and it's fucking done. Jack shit. I mean, it's supposed to protect me, but it's made everything worse. Get rid of it. And then Missy goes, damn rocks. Don't yell, don't yell near the garden. So now we go to the longlead giraffe paddock and now we see all these giraffes and they do it. They shoot it in such a Jurassic Park style because they all get out of their cars and then like look up and like clutch their chest like, oh my God, it's happening. It's like, and then we see these beautiful giraffes and they're like, they're very, they're, I mean, they're very affected. They're like intertwining their necks. They're like, yes, I love that when they're standing like this, like they're necks are crossed and like, look at us. We're doing formations. There shall be no yelling in our garden. This is the giraffe paddock. Oh God, Rothschild's giraffes are so endangered and to be so close to them, what a magical experience. And look at their lashes. So the least profound thing I could say about a giraffe, but still. And Martha's like, oh, the eyelashes God, give me the eyelashes. Rothschild giraffes, they have these long wire socks on and they're just so glamorous. I bet they know how to make some chatter, don't they? So they're feeding them leaves and they won't take they won't take it from Mark, but I think it's because Mark's like, oh, do you want it? Can't have it. Do you want it? Can't have it. I was like, that one of those things is about to headbutt you. Don't fuck with the giraffe. And the giraffes like stop prancing around this garden and give me the fucking leaves. Hey, he's like, give me the leaves, freak. Wait a minute. Wait a second. Has Margot been here? So then Martha Martha's like sad and Mrs. like, have you spoken to Margot yet? And Margot's like, I've messaged with her. And is she okay? I don't know this person. It's this defensiveness that's come out. She's not doing herself any favors. I don't agree with the way she's been behaving. Margot back in the day was the life in the soul of the party. She was so funny. She was so sharp and everything was a joke. And now she takes even a joke so seriously. Yeah. She's like, who is this person that I'm friends with? And so now we go back to Longleat. And while we're going back there, Lottie, Mike and Mark and then are all in a van together and Emma's like, well, is Lottie all right? And Mark says, oh, God, exactly. When we were concerned about Lottie, Mike is like, have you felt stress levels? And she goes, well, I did step away because I just thought, oh, God, I don't want my child to get infected with whatever that Americanitis is. I was a bit stressed. I must admit, but mainly because I was thinking, could we ever someday do a three piece suit for a Rothschild giraffe? That would be a triumph. She accused us of saying that we were coming at her and bullying. Oh, God, bullying again. So now your bullies too. Everyone's a bully. She says, yes, we're bullies too. But I was like, you know, when you don't get your way, you start crying. Oh, she had to play the victim again. Margot has done everything in her power to come across as very self-confidently, a very self-confident lady. Why would she care what we think then? It's absurd. It this is a charade. And did you see that he was on Watch What Happens Live last night with Cush Jumbo, who I love. Love Cush. So he was on there with her and apparently it was really good. I'm actually going to watch it later. I saw a clip, your brief clip. Yes. One of them is Andy saying, didn't you feel bad that she like had a panic attack and all this stuff? Like, did you feel guilty? And he said, well, I would have, but then I saw the text thread where she was bragging about having an Oscar winning performance the next day. Wow. So apparently she was bragging about like faking and having a great scene on TV. So there you go. So they dropped Mark off at that, at his pub where he's staying and that's also going to be where dinner is. So everyone starts to arrive at this beautiful, beautiful dinner. By the way, the weather for this weekend was amazing. They are, I feel like that's like a miracle that they had like three sunny days in a row. It just was absolutely gorgeous. Clear skies, sun. It was like magical. And this dinner with the little table and the trees, I was like, I need to go to Longleat. If the aim of this was to sell Longleat as a destination, I have been, I have been sold on it and I am going to, I'm going to go there. I swear to God, I am literally going to go to Longleat. So don't keep anything expensive in your room. Yeah. Cause you can break in there real easy. Yeah. So now they all get ready and go to dinner and Margot has left. She has left the trip and Mark's like, no note. This is almost as bad as screaming in the garden. And I'm like, no note. No, thank you. Goodbye. Nothing. And I was like, Oh God, she left and she didn't even leave an out. She just evaporated. It's like, well, it's a bit of a release. I hate to say it, but that it's like, at least we have one evening where it's like no drama. Oh my God. Finally a fun night show anyway. Does anyone want to know how someone else died in my family? Oh, thank God. I've got thank God. I prayed to King Chateau today. Get rid of her. I'll get rid of her. I say. Well, I'm assuming that she went back to London. Someone drove her there. I hope she didn't spread her Americaness around the countryside. And Lottie's like, well, I assume so. Well, she didn't walk. We're not that desperate to leave. She took a giraffe. And Martha, meanwhile, Martha's like, oh, like, poor Marko, what's happened to us? So they have appetizers and they start from something's something served on a crumpets. So they start joking about crumpets and. Oh, you know, you're really, you know, you're really in England. If you have a crumpet, oh, darling, you're a crumpet. So they toast to Emma for giving them a wonderful vacation and Kimmy's like, and I also want to say Mark, I'm really proud of you. He's like, what? Being honest, no, it was just nice to see a part of you. It was so vulnerable. I love seeing it the way that you're miscarried. Please don't please don't discuss the way that you are feeling things. Please don't accuse me of that. The way that you have so many emotions coming out of your soul. Don't accuse me of having a soul. Please you're going one step too far. I just was glad I wasn't the only one this season who made a total fool of herself by shutting a tear. Am I right? Whoa. I was able to keep the waterworks behind. You're the one who failed on this one. Oh, I guess you're right. And she's like, well, when you feel comfortable, you can emote apparently. Well, I also think it's difficult to hear things. You might have triggered things in your past that have been get that. I said triggered stupid American to can play at this game. And I've been with you for it and I respect you for it. And I just want to say cheers to you to your bovay little ass boob. Why ass boba, Bavarian ass, whatever that French term is about armlets. That's you right now. Cheers. Hufflepuff. Well, some of us are just made of tough stuff. So they cheers again and Emma's like, oh my God, Mark actually showed that he was a human this week. It's unbelievable. So they all think Emma, they go around the table thanking her and Kimmy says, yeah, not all my friends have Rothschild's Roth's, you know. It's interesting because it's such a foreign concept for me to be so open, literally foreign. It's American. It's a strange feeling. It feels good, but also a little scary. And maybe at this point in my life, it's about time I did this. There you go, Americans. Now you have something that you can run with. I'm going back to my Rococo home now. So he orders the pigeon and they're like, oh my God, that's going to run remind Martha of heckety. And she's like, it's not Martha's not having the best time. Not a good. So we just see clips of them. I mean, it's like clip after clip and they're just laughing and having a good time, which is so rare on these shows. It's fun to watch, but it's not a lot to talk about because they're just like having fun and laughing. It's just literally they are just there enjoying each other's company. And all they want to do is crack jokes and yes, and each other and just get drunk and have a good time. And it was like actually such a joyful scene full of true mirth that it was contagious to watch. Like I was sitting there. Chuckling along as if I was sitting at the table. It was just Merseys. Oh, what? Would you say isn't Merseys sadness? I thought Merseys was happiness. Think of sadness. Oh, it's amusement. God, my English is terrible. Every time I ask you, I'm wrong. But you know, I do learn. I do learn throughout these recaps. I thought Merseys sadness. Her clumsy attempt to cut the cake was the cause of much Merse. I'm like upset that I can't remember Kimmy's word that she was for the omelette because I've heard it before, but I just a booze. Oh, you know what's so funny when you write the booze eggs comes up. I wonder if that's because of Kimmy. Oh, no, it's actually it's called omelette. But those refers to a traditional French style omelette that is fully cooked on the outside, but creamy moist and slightly runny in the center. I love it. Is there anything that Kimmy can't do except, you know, being in touch with her emotions. Getting let it long lead his old fashion. It's actually mandatory. All right. Tell me your weird experiences. Am I living in this house? Cause it's got to be haunted. Check. Well, I was lying in bed and I felt like there was someone there and then I've just felt it on top of me. Oh my God, like someone was holding you down. I love that. Can I share that room for the night? I would love that. Look at someone's on the girls to my room place. Oh, yes. So then, um, Marcus like, Oh God, I love that. Pigeon. It's one of the most fabulous beats I've ever savor. Breasts, if you will. In fact, oh, well, because you've said it's all man. Hey, Mark, they're all just cracking up. But poor Martha, she can't enjoy it because she has a friend who's making her feel like shit right now. Instead of being like, I'm going through it. Enjoy the rest of your time. We'll talk when we get back. You know, Margot is doing this thing like I'm blocking you. That is such a manipulator. Exactly. It's a full arm manipulation. What a fucking asshole. 100%. So they're having like the best night ever. Truly a wonderful magical night. And Martha's like clearly sad and she's like, I'm still bumping about Margot. She don't know where she is. I'm having a lovely time and you know, and everyone's calm. There's no drama, but I think there's a collective sigh of relief quite frankly, but it does put her down on my night. So now Lottie thinks Emma, it's like a lot of thank you speeches to Emma. And then she's like, but I would also like to invite you because it's our turn to host you all. So here I've printed out some flyers to our fashion show and like, oh, thanks. Castle Castle and days of food and wine to going to see your fashion show. I mean, I'll come, but maybe don't compare it. What a lovely middle class activity for us. So, um, and then I can't wait to celebrate all these people who have things called jobs. I know. Wow. It's like being amongst the London gentry. So then they're joking about fashion and Mark is like, oh, you're very good at modeling cheddar cheese. I will see the video again with them modeling and she's like, well, it did the morning. It's not over yet. The fat lady has not sung and she's like, well, I'll sing later. So now Martha's like, I'm so stressed about Margot. She's like, darling, she'll be all right. I mean, what does she think about how you feel tonight? You know, if she was your friend, she would say, you know what, Martha, I had to leave and I had to think about it. At least send you a message saying I'm all right, but instead she has you're worried. It's ridiculous and selfish and you know something you deserve so much better, so much better. Kimmy's right. And again, this is where she emphasizes things where when she says ridiculous, she like swats the air. It's ridiculous. I just love her and how she, how into it she gets. Um, so now it's one week later back in London. So Micah shows up at Margot's house and Margot of course opens the door like, hi, Mike bitch. Okay. I've been having a panic attack all week. Thank you for coming. I know you've got your big event and you haven't seen your kids cause you're away. I'm sorry to take this time away from you. It's like, oh no, I'm happy to be here. I've been thinking about you nonstop. Firstly. So what happened? She's like, I don't know. Like, have you ever had a panic attack? And she's like, yeah, actually. I know Margot was like, oh, okay. Thought this was going to be kind of like a Margot has a panic attack scene, but if you say that you've had one too, that's fine. Um, anyway, by the way, maybe you're having a panic attack because you can't afford the 60,000 pounds a month you owe on this place. But that's besides the point. Margot's like, well, I just have never had anything happen like this before. I mean, you know, so I was, I mean, afterwards, I mean, there was no after the panic attack. The panic attack lasted for days, which was really scary. I mean, I couldn't get good sleep. I couldn't regulate. It was just really awful. Uh, well, someone said it was some point that maybe it could be postpartum. He was, yeah, well, there's definitely that. Yeah. And you know, your body's changing in your brain. Yeah. I'm not like knowing who you are and people are like, you'll never be the same again. And I'm like, okay, but like this is unrecognizable. She has this postpartum. Isn't it Micah's Micah's attitude with this is funny because she's just kind of like sitting with her hand, her head and her finger. She's like, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I thought Micah was being a very good friend. She was, I think she was too, but you see something ticking back there. Yes. It's like you're full of shit. Yes. Yes. Micah is really good about giving you a concerned face. Like I'm listening right now. I'm an etiquette teacher. This is what proper etiquette dictates. But you can tell on the inside. She's like, this is bullshit, especially when Marco goes and the absolute worst part, the one thing that I thought about every time that panic attack would come on was Martha. I was like, okay. Okay. So now we're going to blame Martha for your panic attacks. Yeah. And then I really started to think about it. You know, like Mark is Martha's defended me to everyone. Like she really has, but when she talks to me, she's not like supportive to me. Oh my God. You are an asshole. You are an asshole. Everybody agrees. And now you're going to turn it on this person who you know is in a weak spot and going through it. You're a horrible fucking human being. Get your fucking bullshit panic attack out of here. I don't even want to hear it. And anyone who does have panic attacks or does suffer with stuff like that, you should be mad at someone like this who's completely using this as fodder to get her way like a child. Yeah. And especially because as you brought up very sagely earlier before Margo totally employed tough love with Martha. And what I would actually argue is a more delicate situation, which is looking through your old items of your old life when you were wealthy and stuff from your sister who has passed. That is such a vulnerable place to be in. And Margo came in with super hot, uh, tough love. And then here she is being saying like, well, she's not supportive of me. And then all we see is clips of Martha giving her tough love being like, you shouldn't act this way. I like as your, as your friend, you should be this way. And Margo would be the first person to be like, well, I would give tough love because as a friend, that's what you're supposed to do. And Martha does it to Margo and Margo is like, she's not being supportive of me. I was like, you know what? Shut the fuck up bitch. You're wrong. Yeah. She's ridiculous. So then, um, she's like, uh, you know, and I'm like, Martha, I don't have a problem with Mark. They have a problem with me. Well, you know, maybe it's that she's in the middle of two friendships and neither are going super well. And, um, then we go to Martha and now we see Martha's makeover her, her home. Just happened. Yeah. And it looks cute. It looks really cute. It turned out great. Yeah. She has great. And then we even see, um, Hecatee is like little place in the attic. They've put the plane in the attic and he's just telling, she's like, darling, you want to come see mama and he's just like stretching out like I'm staying on my plane. But then he eventually does come down and sits right on top of her head. It was the most amazing image of that. He just sitting on Martha's head and like the place is like filled with flowers. I mean, you know, what I love about Martha is that she has such a defined personal style. I always respect people so much who are like that and it just was felt cozy in there. And I like the way she described it. She goes, Oh God. Well, my grotto just started to look a little bit like my home. It's. Jincy. She's like so happy how chintzy it is. And Kimmy's on the phone with her and she says, Oh, it's kind of a fresh stuff. You like maybe any platform. Oh God, the birds on your head. The birds on your head. Purchase and you actually really see how big Hecatee is. Like it is on her head. It is a big tall bird. And she just has it on her head. So Martha asks if she's spoken to Mark or Marko. It's like, no, but I've been really busy since I got back. But who I'm worried about is yo, I'm not worried about her. I'm worried about yo. She says, well, my God is not speaking to me and I'm not quite sure what I've done. I don't know. She seems pretty crass with me right now. I just still can't get hold of Margo. She's blocked me. I can't. I don't know where she is. I can't get hold of her. She's blocked me. My messages are not going through. Oh, well, I would not worry about that woman. I think she's full of shit. I can't blame Mark for being annoyed. And so then we go back to Margo's house and she goes, well, I guess the this freak thing really triggered Mark somehow. Mike is like, yeah, um, I've actually never seen him like this before. He said growing up, he was teased and like this was like one word that apparently the other boys used to tease him because, you know, I don't know if you realize he's gay and when you call a gay person a freak, it sort of has like a lingering effect. Well, that was never my intention. I never meant to hurt him in a deep way. I'm like, that's what Mark has been saying all this time about his stupid commentary about your boots and your crushed the lower. But the thing that's coming into my mind right now, like if you were bullied, then how can you bully me and hurt my feelings and do all that? Oh, God, shut up. No, I don't know about bullying. Do not know about how bullying works. People who are bullied. They usually just go and bully people, but he's also not bullying you. You know, give me a break. So Micah is saying, you know, my thought is if you're on the wrong and you can't see it and other people trust tell you trust me, you're on the wrong, then you should listen, you know, but I don't think Margo's ever heard that and Margo says, well, hurt people hurt people. She's, yeah, I know it seems impossible right now, but you should, you know, away from everyone else, go have a coffee with Mark and go in with love. And Micah is like, yeah, Margo used her words without thinking, you know, and sometimes the biggest thing you can do in life is say, I'm sorry, Darra, I'm sorry. I mean, Margo. So then Micah is like, like what feels natural for you to say actually, I'm not, you know what? Let's not go with that because I already know what's a disaster. She goes, look, okay, here, I'm going to write. I'll say, look, she wants to start a text to Mark by saying, look, don't start with look, don't start with look. That sounds like attitude, like look. She goes, okay, but it's like saying like, look, you know, she's, no, don't do that. And so Margo says, okay, I know everybody says nice things about you, so you must be nice in there somewhere, right? No, I shouldn't say that either. She's like, no, erase that. Just say this, my words were deeply hurtful. My words were deeply hurtful, you niny. No, don't say niny. Don't say niny. Just say if you were a burrito, your flavor would be faggito, a faggito burrito. Okay. Just say you found a step stool from the Jacobian court and it has lots of gold, gold paisley embellishments on it and he'll be over here in a second. That's all you do. Speak his language. Everyone needs an etiquette coach in their lives. So she basically writes the text for her. She sends it. And one week later, Margo is sitting with Margo. Margo's like, I mean, it's just really funny to me and every time I see you, you're like, like so big. I mean, you're so fake. I mean, the reason I used the word freak, I wasn't talking about you as your behavior. Like you came and you touched me and you like tried to be flirtatious and he's just like horrified and he goes, oh, she's a lunatic. Has Margo not been around like gay British pop before? Like the fact that she's now turning it into like you're trying to be a flirtatious like ma'am. She is you have. She's pulling out every trick, you know, screw this chick, man. Yeah. And it's like, I feel like I have like low tolerance for these American reality show tricks or tactics on the show like this because the show feels so special and I love. I love the British humor on the show. I love the way they all are how they all engage with each other and Margo just sticks out like a sore thumb. Like she just shouldn't belong here. But I mean, she does a hundred percent because this is the role she sticks out like a sore thumb. She can't figure it out. She can't mix and she's trying to do all these American kind of manipulations and reality star manipulations and they all won't have it and it's great for the show because we need it's always good to have a villain, but it's also like, oh, you like get out of here. You're ruining everything. At the same time, like she has to be here. Like that's how shows need their villains. So yeah. Yeah, I don't need Margo to get kicked off. I've found Margo very entertaining, you know, through the through the whole season, but God, what an ass. It's like your instinct wants to say, oh, get out of here. Just let the cool people hang out and talk and have a fun time. But it's like, you know, Margo is an essential part of this. Like she is, but she wasn't originally cast. It was originally Darrah. She was just going to be a friend of and so they went with her at last minute and she is moving her long drama, but I don't believe shows need somebody to move around phony panic attack kind of drama. I don't know that that's what they need. I think if they do come back and they do get rid of her, they should get another Brit who's really catty and funny because they don't need another fucking whiny American. I can't and I like Micah and I like Kimmy. Obviously is one of the Americans, although I guess she's kind of on the cusp, right? But they need like another really catty Brit, not a Lottie, not a Missy, someone like suit like a female version of a Mark. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think that like, yeah, it's, um, I like the contrast of Margo being there. I like how she's making me so angry and I like how there's like, oh fuck this person. But I agree that the, it's just like the reality show tropes that she is sort of leaning into when this show has been so refreshing because it's not been about that is like very frustrating. Like I would like to not have that. I feel like she's sort of poisoning the show, but it seems like the rest of the cast is like, yeah, we're not going to allow this. Like we're not going to bend to your knee and that makes me happy, but I guess we'll see what happens next week. And uh, yeah, sometimes a time will tell. I can't wait for that scene between them. He's just like, oh, she's a lunatic. Yeah. It just dawned on him like, oh, I've been fighting with the crazy person who's like that moment in real housewives of New York where Kelly was going crazy on scary island and Sony was finally like, guys, we're fighting with somebody who's not even with us. Like we need to stop. This is like, it's getting to the point now where it's not fair. Yeah. So all right. Thanks everybody so much for being here. We will talk to you next time. Bye. Bye.
