[S8A]: This Season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Beach…
The trailer begins with Jac, Monsè, Sheridan, and Victoria around a table in a peaceful garden. Jac is looking around the table, talking to the other women.
Jac: “Last year was quite dark, in the spirit of this holy gathering I think we should make a pact…”
Sheridan rolls her eyes, Victoria looks confused, and Monsè raises an eyebrow.
Monsè: “What kind of pact?”
Jac: “A pact to not allow our circle to be tainted by negativity and hostility…” She puts her hands to her heart.
All of the sudden, the scene switches to a scene that is coming later in the season. At an event in the future, Yvonne and Victoria are talking.
The scene now goes back to the table of ‘Wives in the garden. Jac continues to give her speech.
Jac: “A pact to approach each other with love and compassion...”
We now see new ‘Friend Of’, Heidi Weltroth, addressing new Wife, Marcie Maples, at an art gallery as they sit at a table with the other women.
All of the other Housewives at the table look surprised. The scene switches back to Jac, Monsè, Sheridan, and Victoria in the garden.
Jac: “A pact to put the past behind us and look forward to a brighter future…”
It switches to show a scene where Sheridan, Heidi, and Yvonne are talking to one another in Bell Camp.
Sheridan: “Mona? She’s around?” She taps her acrylics on the table.
“Something seems….off. Is this damage control? Is this watching the show and pivoting due to viewer feedback. I’m not sure what the hell is going on but I smell fish.”
For the final time, it goes back to Jac speaking at the table. She now raises a tea cup.
Jac: “Here’s to a future, a future as friends! A future as women who support other women.”
We see Monsè, Victoria, and Sheridan all raise their cups. Then the screen goes black.
This Season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Beach…
We get a shot of a tropical paradise. We hear the blades of a helicopter, all of a sudden a fleet of three helicopters turn the corner of a mountain.
Monsè’s Voice: “Wow, look at these views!”
Yvonne’s Voice: “This is just marvelous!”
Jac’s Voice: “Oh no! Monsè!” She dry heaves. “I think I’m going to be sick!”
Monsè’s Voice: “Uh uhhh! Pilot man, get her a bag! QUICKLY!”
We hear laughing and the sound of Jac throwing up as the scene transitions. We are now in the Beverly Beach Dome where Beyoncè has stopped for her Renaissance Tour.
Victoria’s Voice: “WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE!”
We see all the ‘Wives dancing and enjoying their time at the show. The camera pans to Marcie Maples who is swaying in the crowd and has a lavender dress on.
“I find it very disrespectful for this heathen to show up dressed like she’s about to attend a Lana Del Ray show or something, have some respect for my cousin baby mama sister step son niece!”
“I think Marcie got confused. We’re seeing Queen Bey. This isn’t the Eras Tour, doll face!”
We see footage of the impressive Golden Palms — Beverly Beach, a new luxury resort that has just opened up. There is now a focus on the resort’s upscale day/night club and restaurant; The Beach Haus. We get shots of the pool, the bar, the VIP cabanas, and the dining area. It is a beautiful day as we get footage of Sheridan strutting down the tunnel of palms that lead to The Beach Haus.
Sheridan: “Woow, so chic!” She looks around.
She approaches the large table that has place settings for them right in the middle of the terrace, so the ocean is the back drop.
Yvonne: “Is that Sheridan with the overgrown boo-tay?”
Sheridan laughs and turns around to see Yvonne walking over.
Sheridan: “You know my ass has always been fat, Yvonne! It’s why the athletes love me!” She winks.
Yvonne laughs.
Yvonne: “So this is the Beach Haus? They did a lovely job with this. You almost wouldn’t be able to tell it used to just be cardboard and fossil fuels.” She nods as she looks around.
It skips to later at Beach Haus; Yvonne, Sheridan, Monsè and Marcie are seated at the table. A handsome man walks in.
Sheridan: “Oh great! Everyone — Maverick truly is amazing! He’s preparing our lunch today!” She smiles at the ladies.
Maverick: “Hey, how are you all doing?” He flashes a smile at the ladies.
Sheridan: “Hey Maverick, baby, have you met my girl Mona?”
Mona: “Hi, I’m Mona.” She smiles at Maverick.
Maverick: “I have not met you yet, but it’s nice to meet you Mona.” He shakes her hand. “It’s a pleasure.”
The camera stays on Mona as she bites her lip. The scene then switches to a trendy restaurant in Twitter.
Sheridan, Heidi, and Valentina walk in together and greet Riley Stevenson from ‘Baller Wives’ and Erica Ka’Oir from ‘Ladies of Twitter’.
The scene changes to Monsè and Jac being escorted down a massive dock at a yacht club on a golf cart. They gawk at the huge mega-yacht that they are pulling up to.
“Okay Monsè is a damn bitch for hiding this friend from me! I would’ve loved to have rented this yacht and taken it to the French Rivera!”
Valentina and I have really hit it off and any time we spend together it’s next level. I’m talking Dom Perignon, diamonds, caviar. She is RICH rich hunni!”
We get a cool cinematic shot of a beautiful Bentley Bacalar driving out on an airport runway. The top is down, Brandon Armani drives and Valentina Armani sits in the passengers seat. Two black SUVs follow closely behind.
Brandon pulls up to a beautiful private jet parked on the runway, the stairs already down. We get a shot of Brandon opening his door and putting on sunglasses. He walks around and opens Valentina’s and the couple walks hand in hand to the jet.
“I don’t think my family and I need an introduction…but I’m going to give you one anyways!” She laughs. “I am Valentina Armani, wife of the amazing actor Brandon Armani and former cheerleader for the Miami Heat.”
“Brandon is known for his popular roles on Titanic and Clueless but now has a multi year deal with Marvel doing their movies! I mean I think he’s pretty damn great in the bedroom and in movies.” She giggles.
The scene switches to Mona, Marcie, and Yvonne who are sitting at the SkyLounge bar in the airport.
Mona: “That plastic blow up doll…The audacity that she has. Talk about ungrateful.”
Marcie: “Seriously and just not nice. She obviously doesn’t think we’re very interesting either, Mona.”
Mona: “We’re definitely more interesting than her fake ass.” She makes a face and crosses her legs.
Yvonne: “Trust, she will be dealt with.” She smirks, sipping her champagne.
On the patio of one of their houses, we see Valentina sitting on her husband Brandon’s lap, she is in heated discussion with Monsè. Brandon rubs her leg trying to calm her down.
Valentina: “I’m fixing to play checkers with that bitch!” She purses her lips. “She asked for it; Speaking about my husband. We have ALL the money and ALL have the resources to shut her up!”
“Look I don’t play when it comes to my kids or my husband, so… You asked for it bitch and you are fixing to receive it. Now check THAT!”
The segment changes to Jac talking to the cast of ‘Reality of Roleplay’.
Jac: “Between filming ‘Reality of Roleplay’ in Twitter, and then moving to Beverly Beach and filming Legends last year, Beau and I haven’t really been spending a lot of time together. I know he’s happy for my success but we need some quality time to reconnect, you know?”
Tre: “Yes make time for Mr. Beau. He’s your other half and you need to be a wifey to him.”
We hear emergency sirens and the sound of hospital monitors. The camera picks up to catch Jac and her husband, Beau, walking out of the hospital together.
The couple gets into their car. Beau turns it on and the couple sits in silence. Jac glances at Beau, and he just begins driving while staring straight ahead.
Beau: “I don’t know what you want me to say, Jac.”
Jac: “Are you not happy?”
Beau: “This is what I’ve been talking about, Jac!” He looks over at her after he switches lanes. “You’ve taken on too much with all the projects and all the traveling! You’re 13 weeks pregnant for Christ’s sake and you didn’t know.”
We see the majority of the ‘Wives gathered around a table at a charity event.
Jac: “Okay. Enough said, Mona. Go off and have your conversation with the girl who tried to choke you out last year.”
Mona looks at Jac, confused.
Mona: “Jac, what is this tone? I’ll have whatever conversation I want when I want. Thank you.”
Jac: “There’s no tone Mona. It’s been a long night.”
Sheridan: “Yeah, Jac. Jac, what’s the issue with Mona and I having a conversation? No need for the dramatics.”
Jac: “No, I’m fine with you guys having a conversation.” She abruptly turns away. “No, seriously I’m fine. I’m fine.” She is tearing up. “I’m okay, I’m fine.” She walks off.
Sheridan: “What in the world?”
All of the women look at eachother, confused.
The scene changes to show Heidi and Marcie meeting at a rooftop venue.
Heidi: “Recently I was appointed to the board of the Youth Mental Health Association which has been chaotic…” She leans in.
Marcie: “That’s amazing to hear Heidi! I’m sure you fill the role quite like.. nobody else!” She laughs.
Heidi: “What have you been doing in your spare time? Is hairstyling still your main hobby?” She digs around in her purse then looks up. “Oh! My dog’s groomer is hiring — I’m sure I could arrange an interview for you if that’s something you’re into!” She pulls out her phone.
Marcie lets out an unconvincing fake laugh.
Marcie: “Oh Heidi, you’re just so funny. So, so funny.” She gives her a look. “I’m actually looking more into getting a new salon opened here in Beverly Beach! Get more settled into my career again!”
“Without Mike at home I’ve realized I need to get a hobby! I can’t just sit around eating bonbons and Oreos for hours alone like Heidi.”
“Marcie and I were once upon a time good friends but recently I’ve distanced myself from her when I found out she was going around to mutual friends talking shit about me. It’s quite hurtful considering we used to be super close.”
“I bet you’re all surprised to see me back.”
It goes back to the scene where Sheridan, Victoria, Monsè, and jac are sitting in the garden.
Jac: “Apparently, Mona’s back.” She sips her cucumber water.
Victoria: “HELL NO!”
Sheridan: “I thought she was on the run from the IRS?” She snorts and bites into a finger sandwich.
Victoria: “Oh Lord!”
Monsè: “Oh, yeah I heard… I hope she’s been doing okay. I haven’t heard from her in months.”
Sheridan: “I am surprised you haven’t heard from her Monsè…”
Monsè: “I know as much as you guys do. Mona’s been completely off the grid.”
“It’s been radio silence from Mona for the last few months. Of course, I’m hurt that my best friend isn’t confiding in me, but I hope she’s doing okay.
The scene switches to Mona talking to her mother in her apartment.
Sheila: “Why’re you going back to the show?” She glances at the camera.
Mona: “I just want to get my friendships back because they were all out on pause and I don’t know where I stand with everyone even, Monsè.”
“Monsè and I were…are best friends but I would’ve thought she’d be the first person there for me when I got back from rehab.
The scene switches to Mona and Monsè outside on a sidewalk at night, arguing.
Mona: “I’ve been having a rough time Monsè, and I thought that you were gonna be someone that was right by my side in all of this…I’m really pissed off by this whole situation.”
Monsè looks confused.
Monsè: “I’m sorry, I thought that’s what I was doing. It’s hard to support someone who doesn’t pick up the phone or answer a damn text. Do you know how it felt to get all my updates about you from Twitter? We’ve been friends for years, what sense does that make?”
“I feel like Mona’s just thrown me away like a dirty towel she doesn’t have any use for anymore.
The scene switches and Mona is quickly getting up from a dinner on the beach. Her eyes are filling up with tears and she throws her napkin down at the table, and knocking her chair over.
Mona: ““See, you don’t defend me Monsè!” She jabs her finger at Monsè and then begins walking off.
Monsè: “I don’t defend you. Are you serious?! I have gotten so much shit for doing nothing but defending you the last couple of years. Don’t do that to me, Mona.”
Mona: “I can’t do this Monsè! This is too much for me!”
Monsè: “Fine, walk off like you always do! I’m done, DONE!”
Mona begins sniffling as she walks away, Marcie jumps up and catches up to her.
Mona: “Im done! I’m really fucking tired of Monsè defending everyone else EXCEPT ME.”
Marcie: “Don’t let one rude miserable bitch ruin it!”
Mona: “Im just — I just. I can’t — “ She struggles to get the words out and leans on the railing.
“Monsè started this problem for herself.
Back at the table on the beach. The reamaing Wives are all looking over trying to figure what’ss going on with Mona and Marcie at the stairs.
Jac: “Do you think she’s going to finish her chicken?”
The camera zooms in on Mona’s half eaten chicken breast.
“I’m not sure what is going on with our friend group. We have new faces in the group and friendships are in weird places. The tides seem to be turning in Beverly Beach.”
