Angel invites the ladies to her home in Colorado. Upon arrival she promises a week of “fun, togetherness, shots, and sisterhood,” which was not exactly fulfilled
The house that they’re going to is the first stop. A rental where Angel throws intentional shade and assigns Gizelle and Ashley to the smallest room in the house with single beds and no private bathroom. Gizelle is sour from the start and immediately starts looking at alternate accommodations. The elevation makes K very emotional. Angel announces that Tia and K are staying with her at her house, which is an hour away. Later that night at the welcome party, Gizelle tells Angel the house has no running water. Attempts were made to fix it but the issue continued.
The group later heads to Aspen, where they shop at Kemo Sabe and announce their purchases down to the cent, except Stacy, who spends nothing and credits it as the secret to staying rich. Gizelle announces to the group that she has booked the executive suite and a room for everyone at the Four Seasons and that they will enjoy the hotel before leaving the next day. Somehow, everyone is convinced to go on Angel’s final excursion, which was supposed to be fly fishing but ends up being an argument-fueled road trip to a gas station food truck, which Gizelle does NOT do. They are fed up and ready to go home. Ashley tells Angel, “This is where the trip ends for us.”
