"I'll see you in Milwaukee, b----."
That's what Angie Katsanevas said to Whitney Rose at the end of this week's episode of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City."
Despite all of the drama that's already gone down just two episodes into Season 5, Whitney Rose invited all of her castmates on a girls trip to Milwaukee, where she would be doing her next drag show.
Earlier this year, cast members were spotted at a Milwaukee Bucks game and Rose was a special guest and helped out at the premiere of a drag show at This Is It!, the oldest LGBTQ+ bar in Wisconsin and one of the oldest in the country.
During the season premiere, which aired Sept. 18, Lisa Barlow threw a “Besos” Galentine's Day party. Per usual, the ladies came dressed to impress and on-theme — shoutout to Bronwyn Newport's Saint Laurent red fur heart cape.
And, a handful of them opted to accessorize with bad blood.
Barlow called out Rose for calling her a villain on "The Viall Files" (hosted by Wisconsin native Nick Viall, BTW). Meredith Marks also had her target set on Rose, alleging she copied her bath bomb biz. And, Katsanevas whipped out a scroll airing her grievances against Marks.
During dinner, Barlow and several others exploded with accusations against Rose. Feeling like she was being ganged up on, Rose ended up flipping Barlow off and left.
Fast-forward to Episode 2, which aired Wednesday, Heather Gay and Rose went shopping for crystals. Gay told Rose she could pick one out for under $500 as a special token. Read as: A peace offering for her part in the other night's blow-up.
"Before all of this went down, I had this like fun trip planned," Rose told Gay.
"Where?" Gay asked.
"You're gonna laugh," Rose said. "Hear me out."
"OK, tell me. I'm scared now," Gay said.
"I'm going to Milwaukee," Rose said.
"Shut up," Gay replied.
"To Trixie's bar," Rose said.
"Trixie has a bar in Milwaukee?" Gay asked.
"Trixie has a gay bar in Milwaukee," Rose confirmed.
Darn right Trixie does! World-renowned drag superstar Trixie Mattel co-owns This Is It!, 418 E. Wells St., with George Schneider.
Last season on "RHOSLC," the cast took a girls' trip to the Trixie Motel in Palm Springs, where they competed in a drag-inspired makeup competition judged by Mattel ... and of course, got into some drama. On that episode, Rose said she's known Mattel for "quite some time," and that they they've hung out and collabed.
"I really wanted all the girls to come," Rose told Gay of the Milwaukee trip. "I had some fun activities planned, like a Bucks game, like a lot of other surprises,"
Rose said Newport and Katsanevas were already in.
"Milwaukee is like 'Laverne & Shirley' land, right?" Gay asked her.
"Don't sleep on Milwaukee," Rose said. "Milwaukee wants us."
To get all the ladies together, Gay organized a rope course activity. And, naturally, the gals got into it yet again. But, Rose did apologize to Barlow for the podcast incident.
"I think that everyone at this table is amazing," Rose said. "I'm glad today happened. I feel like there's a lot of things that need to be resolved. But, I'm comfortable to invite all of you to my next drag show."
Rose explained to the gals that Mattel booked her to host a drag night in Milwaukee.
Some of the women burst into laughter.
"Milwaukee?!" Katsanevas belted. "Mil-where?" Meili Workman asked.
Can someone explain the joke, plz? Thanks.
Mary Cosby jumped in and said that Milwaukee is where her late father is from and that she's never been.
Rose told the group she even booked a private jet for the occasion.
With Rose and Marks not seeing eye-to-eye, Marks said she wasn't sure if she could make it.
"It's not that I don't want to go to Milwaukee," Marks said in a confessional. "I mean, who wouldn't want to go to Milwaukee in the middle of the winter? It's that I don't necessarily want to go to Milwaukee with Whitney."
"Good. I hope you don't," Rose said in a cutaway.
