Brooke and Jeff are back, babies! Of course we have to talk a little Vegas action, but more importantly, we get a Jax and Laura Leigh hard launch and Scheana makes her stage debut at the Roxy. Sundi had to edit out the name from a very questionable story, Jeff gets nostalgic about purple-nurple shots and Brooke thinks LVP invented the phrase "spill the tea." We're halfway through the first season and it is GIVING!
