Real Housewives reunions can often feel like unnecessary affairs, rehashing old drama we saw play out across the previous season while trying and occasionally succeeding in resolving unresolved issues.

But entering into the first part of the three-part The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion, there's at least one huge issue that needs some resolving. And her name is Reality Von Tease.

All eyes are on freshman Housewife Monica Garcia, who infiltrated the group and the show after being part of the team that ran an Instagram blog that trolled the RHSOLC ladies. Or was she the only one behind it? That remains unclear, but the truth will out as more than one cast member came fully prepared with receipts, proof, timelines, and probably screenshots.

Meredith Marks enters the set clutching her purse full of secrets and pages of insults Angie Katasnevas has hurled in her general direction ("Trampoline with eyes" is... pretty great). Monica at some point during the proceedings will whip out an honest to God "burn book" (shout-out to Lindsay Lohan looking great) she apparently ordered custom from Etsy. And Heather Gay, Salt Lake's very own CIA, checks Monica's lies before the reunion even gets spicy.

And spicy it gets.

A deadly hush falls over the ladies as Monica strolls in, admittedly, looking snatched. But, and this may play out differently as parts two and three roll out, some of the ladies seem to be... friendly-ish with Monica.

Like, not buddies, but Whitney Rose, Heather, and Meredith are at least cordial with someone they accused of cyberbullying them for years. When Monica tears up discussing having to get re-baptized as a Mormon, Heather and Lisa Barlow chime in about how difficult the process actually is.

Then, Heather and Whitney agree with Monica — who's been on the receiving end of the internet's second favorite pastime, misogyny (first is racism, natch) — about the viciousness of social media comments. Could this be... empathy? For Monica? Who once allegedly trolled them?

Well, that dog won't hunt with Angie K., for whom Monica reserves the majority of her venom. When host Andy Cohen brings up Lisa's lost $60,000 ring (or as Lisa notes, "It's $58,000, just to be clear"), talk turns to a rumor that Monica was the one who stole it, something Monica vehemently denies.

As Monica is defending herself against the other ladies' implications, Angie K. interjects, saying, "No one's saying you stole it."

"Why are you talking, bench-warming bitch?" Monica responds. "This doesn't involve you. Just like most of the season"

Burn! And, well, kinda inaccurate. A good portion of the drama this season did revolve around Angie K., notably the rumor that her husband was gay, which first dropped out of Monica's mouth, and the rumor that Angie was in the Greek Mafia, again, courtesy of Monica.

However, despite her proximity to the drama, Angie K. just doesn't have "It." That Housewives sparkle in her eye that says "I will burn every bridge I've built to prove I'm right then burn this set to the ground." You know who does have that? Monica.

Still, there's something about Monica that we just can't trust. Back to Heather and her receipts, etc. When Andy asks Monica about her relationship with Jen Shah — former Real Housewife, current penitentiary-housed wife ("Enemies, I guess") — she denies using her position as Shah's assistant as a stepping stone.

Heather was waiting for that one since she had the voice memo all cued up and plays audio of Monica literally saying, "I can fully admit that the whole reason I was an assistant... was as a stepping stone, as a learning experience."

By the time we get to the end of part one, Monica's yelling across the set at Angie to keep her kids' names out of her mouth and we haven't even gotten to the Von Tease of it all.

Part two of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion airs next Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
