RECAP: Little Women LA — The Media Goes Crazy Over Christy’s Head Injury [Season 4, Episode 11]
We return to Little Women: LA smack-dab in the middle of the glass-tossing smack-down between Terra and Christy. Terra is accusing Christy of lying about not wanting to go to Mexico for the bachelorette party. The glass thrown at Christy’s head actually hit her 10-gallon hat, but hey, this is an opportunity to turn water into wine. Oops. My bad. Not Christy, she’s been sober for six years now. Water into lemonade.
Jasmine says she brought up the issue about Mexico to squash it once and for all, but instead incited a little person riot. Terra is done with Briana and Christy. Elena thinks that Christy is trying to get her friendship back with Briana by throwing the rest of the girls under the bus.
Outside, Briana is the only to follow Christy. She brings a towel and Christy wants to know why she wasn’t informed of her pregnancy, because it’s all about her. Briana says so far she has only told her parents. This is extra hurtful to Christy because she has been trying to get preggers for two years. Cue the sad music. Christy asks Briana to start calling her more often and including her more in her life. And maybe she’ll give Matt a second chance – and maybe not.
Next, Tonya has and invited Terra and Elena over to help work on a food bank project. She feels volunteerism will help clear all the other heifers’ souls. Elena tells the girls she got a text message that Christy went to the hospital for a concussion. They have Elena call Christy and she sounds awful, but explains that she went to the hospital because of dizziness. Elena clarifies that Christy threw a glass first. Christy says she threw a plastic cup first and Terra threw a glass. Big difference in her mind. Tonya and Elena feel that Terra needs to apologize, but Terra thinks not.
Briana’s wedding is one week away at a venue that’s three hours away from LA. Jasmine, the maid of honor, is slacking and running late. While they wait, Briana gives Matt the 411 on the cowgirl party fight. Matt says, “And they say I’m the violent one?” Briana is still on the fence about whether or not to invite Christy. Matt is cool with Christy wanting to give him another chance. He wants to give Christy an apology, too.
Elena and Preston are at the doctor’s office to check on the twins’ progress. She is 13 ½ weeks and still nauseous. They perform the ultrasound on baby A and listen to the heartbeat. Everything is great. He struggles to find baby B because he’s hiding, but everything’s fine. Except Elena is gaining too much weight.
Jasmine has arrived and they tour the venue. Briana is disappointed because the railing isn’t LP friendly. They take a look at another setting by the lake, but if there’s no snow, it will just be mud the guests are walking on. Jasmine asks about the guest lists and is told so far it’s just Elena and her that are invited. Terra is not welcome because of all the awful things she’s said in the past about Matt. Jasmine wants the group to stick together, but admits that if it were her, she wouldn’t be friends with someone who attacks her fiancé every chance she gets either.
Elena and Jasmine are hanging out and Jasmine gives her some maternity gifts like a body pillow that’s twice her size. Elena reads a TMZ story about Christy and her now two brain contusions she endured that night. Who knew line-dancing could be so dangerous. Jasmine is shocked that Christy is suffering from brain trauma and wonders how TMZ find out. Elena suspects it was Christy who tipped them off.
Over at Christy’s she is milking this glass throwing incident like nobody’s business and Todd and her mom are waiting on her hand and foot. Now she has acute concussion syndrome and this had been bleeding out, Christy would be dead now. She doesn’t even recall driving home that night. The infamous glass is now a deadly weapon and Christy’s mom wants to kick Terra in the butt, because violence is how you settle violence. Christy says Terra is nothing but a bully and karma is a bitch. She obviously has something in the works.
Elena and Briana are shopping for baby items. Briana shares that after seeing the venue she booked without seeing it in person, she is now moving the wedding closer to Los Angeles. She’s deciding between two places. The wedding is one week away and Briana has just now invited Elena. So much for the ‘save the date’ notices. Elena asks about Christy. Briana says she has now filed a police report and this whole thing is getting out of hand. Ya think? Elena calls bullshit on Christy giving Matt a second chance. Briana is tired of Terra, even if she’s the only honest one in the bunch.
At lunch, Terra and Joe go to lunch to discuss the iced tea thrown round the world, but is having trouble staying awake. Terra is tired of Joe’s jokes. Joe says she threw a glass at the biggest opportunist and it’s pathetic. Terra says she will never lower herself to Christy’s level again. Mmm-hmm. Terra says she will apologize, but if Christy presses charges, they will press charges right back because Christy threw the first cup. Joe tells Terra how much he loves her and will visit her every weekend in jail.
It’s time for the heifer’s to help out at the food bank. Tonya asks that they get some step stools so they can reach the items. Terra arrives and tells Tonya and Elena about all of the media calls she keeps getting for quote. Terra has tried reaching out to Christy, but she won’t accept Terra’s phone calls, and by the way, Christy won’t be here to help because she’s back in the hospital.
Jasmine and Briana arrive to help. Briana almost didn’t show because of Terra, but this isn’t about her, it’s about the needy. Turns out Christy isn’t returning anyone’s calls but has no problem updating her status on Facebook. Briana doesn’t like people gossiping behind Christy’s back, especially when this is all Terra’s fault. Jasmine, Briana and Elena go help with a separate project and the silence is deafening. Jasmine asks how Briana and Terra are doing. Terra feels they should be able to move forward from her hating on Matt, but Briana thinks their friendship is DOA with a DNR.
Matt and Briana are looking at another wedding venue. She wanted a winter wedding, but Briana’s okay with no snow now. Matt asks which girls are invited to the wedding. He doesn’t want Terra there and neither does she. And because Christy didn’t show up to the food bank so they could talk, Briana’s not going to invite her either. Not to mention the current drama with the police and press. So it’s official – Christy is not invited.
Tune in next week when Christy shows up to the wedding anyway.
