Thats apparently good enough for them, and the Shahs and Harringtons awkwardly embrace.

Well, this and finally seeing Heathers infamous choir in action.

The motley crew, dressed in newly unboxed black graduation robes, performs a stirring rendition of Amazing Grace.

Or, as Jen amends it during her confessional: Shah-mazing Grace.

Or, as Heather has been paraphrasing it for two seasons: Ride or die.

So with her cover finally revealed, the scene is set for a fight.

Oh God, not this again.

A disgusted Sharrieff holds Jen back before she promptly storms out.

We can only imagine how different her reaction would have been if she werent awaiting trial.

Every glass in the building would have been shattered.

The fire department would have been called.

There wouldnt be an unbruised eye in the place.

But instead, in an uncharacteristically wise move, Jen just calls it a night and goes home.

Were only halfway through the episode when suddenly theres the classicHousewivesfreeze-frame with our finale epilogues for every Housewife.

Heathers book is finished, and the choir is going strong.

Lisa hasnt been to any Jazz games lately.

Whitney hasnt repaired her friendship with Heather, and the same goes for Meredith and Lisa.

But theres one update missing …

The episode then jumps ahead three months to just days before Jens trial is set to begin in July.

About to head to New York, she sits on her front steps with her mother.

The next time I come home, Ill either be guilty or innocent, she tells her.

Youll be innocent, her mom says, We know that, right?

Did she have glam waiting for her at baggage claim at La Guardia?

Also staying at the hotel are Heather and Meredith, who are there for moral support.

Just as Jen is now confronting the possibility of guilt, Heather and Meredith seem to be too.

God forbid she is guilty.

Are you still a ride-or-die friend?

For Meredith, this would be a really big problem.

You believe the people you love.

They reunite with Jen back at the hotel and ask about her meeting.

Stuarts a piece of fucking shit.

Heather is blown away by this revelation.

This is a cautionary tale.

Beware of your TaskRabbits framing you for wire fraud.

An adage that takes on a new meaning knowing everything we know now.

The three women hug, and the scene fades to black-and-white.

I hope the editors got paid time and a half for this episode, because its a doozy.

She has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison.

Days later, Heather gets lunch with Lisa back in Salt Lake City.

They wonder what could have changed in such a short time that made her decide not to fight it.

But the real focus is still on Jen.

I think she did it, Heather says as Lisa cries.

Its too big, and the penalties are too big.

Although repetitive and frustrating, it was unlike anything weve ever seen onHousewives.
