I think we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that the Shahs have packed up their cheetos, sour patch kids, and liquid poo and rolled their 96 Winnebago back to West Hollywood. Yes, the Shahs returned to their natural habitat this week and get back to actively ruining each others lives.
First we meet up with GG who is at a place called Grotto de Sal which looks like the C+ version of someplace that Yolanda Foster spends all of David Foster’s money. It bills itself as wellness healing spa treatments, basically $300 to wear a robe. The employees at this place know entirely too much about GG and her stitches to not be seeing her on a bi weekly basis. Reza joins GG and they hit up the Himalayan salt room which is covered in pink salt, in true Reza fashion he licks the walls like it is the wallpaper in Charlie in The Chocolate Factory and the employees ensure him it is really salty and he informs them GG is already salty enough.
What is Reza getting his material from Vida’s canasta club. GG and Reza go into a giant salt water tub that helps her with her arthritis and they discuss the current state of union with her arthritis. As it turns our she may need chemotherapy to help combat her RA and Reza says he will be there for her.
In breaking Shah news we can no longer say over at MJ’s condo, because MJ has allowed Tommy to move his basketball shorts (and although I have never seen it presumably his flat brimmed hat collection) to her apartment. Which leads us to MJ and Tommy’s condo where MJ is re-organizing her rolling rack to make room for Tommy’s white t-shirts when he receives a cryptic text from the fertility doctor they saw a few weeks ago. I mean what in HIPAA hell is this doctor doing texting his patients with an update is this a Foodler Delivery (I wish). Anyway MJ and Tommy call back the doctor for the results of his sperm text and it turns out it is not what they had hoped for and there needs to be an official recount. I’m still so horrified by those photos of MJ with a banana and honey to give this much more thought.
Jessica and Mike meanwhile meet up for a marriage counseling session and considering Jessica is dressed for a slutty funeral I can only assume that this goes well beyond the tea set purchase from two weeks ago. Well it turns out they have been living separately for awhile now, way to bury the lead Mike!
Jessica feels she has lost her identity in his marriage and Mike wasn’t really clear on what the concept of marriage was until about 3 days ago, and that is still not confirmed. The marriage counselor thinks she can help them and she seems nice enough but from what I can tell she is operating out of the back entrance to the coffee shop/art gallery/day surgery establishment. If you google Shahs of Sunset in the off-season, you know how this ends, if you don’t well you probably know how this ends.
Over at the house that still legally belongs to the owner of the yacht from Shervin’s birthday party our pal Sherv is welcoming his mom for a visit. Shervin’s mom seems genuinely lovely and now we know why Shervin is almost tolerable. GG comes by for dinner and brings Shervin’s mom 45 dozen red roses, considering they have never met before this seems like an interesting gift, but whatever it is GG not screaming bye girl or stabbing swords intro trees so I’ll take it! While they eat Shervin’s mom asks why Shervin hs not settled down yet and GG argues that he is not ready for marriage. How have these two not tried to make it work? They both love rented yachts and have the ability to spend an inordinate amount of time with Reza without killing themselves, this could be a match a made in heaven.
Reza and Asa make a road trip to Palm Springs for a little flash mob wedding prep for Adam and Reza. And we find out that that is not the only party going down! Asa is planning a cat themed retirement party for her mom who is throwing in the towel after 45 years as a nurse. Asa is quick to remind us that her mom won’t really be retiring, as she will be joining her father, brother, and their trusty freezer of caftans working for her now. Asa’s mom has escaped wars and been a nurse in 3 different continents, a challenging career, under challenging circumstances, however I will bet you $500 bucks working in that damn closet stuffing Fed Ex envelopes will be her most challenging job. Anyway back on this road trip Reza and Asa check out a restaurant for the flash mob wedding. Reza tells us that he knows MJ doesn’t like the idea of the flash mob wedding but he doesn’t like some of her weaves. A true Reza burn, leave that little nugget alone!
