On Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo show, Shannon Storms Beador pleaded with producers while at lunch with the Tres Amigas to allow her to keep her relationship private after discovering that Heather Dubrow had been sharing personal details about her boyfriend John.

Back at the table, Tamra Judge apologized for bringing up the subject and informed Shannon that Heather had also been gossiping about her relationship to Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson. Shannon revealed her plans to confront her for telling the rest of the group that her relationship was “s—” and admitted that she felt "100% complete betrayal" from Heather.

Though Tamra took full accountability and issued another apology for the drama surrounding her relationship with her boyfriend Ryan Boyajian, Jenn admitted she felt “so confused” by her actions. “There’s something I’m missing,” Jenn said in a confessional interview. “How long do I sit here and get beat up and be the punching bag and then forgive? At some point, I’m the idiot.” Tamra chalked up her bad behavior to her “head” not being “in the right place lately” and explained that she had taken a lot of her frustrations. Jason Mendez/Getty; Andrew J Cunningham/Getty “There’s been a lot that’s just been stored in this head and I’m a person who doesn’t deal with my emotions and then I explode,” she continued, before adding that she wanted to take her relationship with Jenn back to a place where they could trust each other. While Tamra told the cameras that she hasn’t changed her opinions about her relationship with Ryan, she admitted she has been an "a—---" towards Jenn. In an effort to extend an olive branch and “move forward,” Tamra shared that she would be more than willing to meet Ryan in person and clear the air of any drama, which was a gesture that touched Jenn. Later, Tamra and Shannon anxiously awaited Jenn and Ryan’s arrival with their significant others as they set out to grab dinner after a ride on John’s boat. Tamra Judge and Eddie Judge.

After the last couple arrived, the three couples embarked on an awkward boat ride before heading to the restaurant. In an effort to ease the tension, Ryan made a joke in reference to his infamous "d--- pic" and when Tamra asked if he would like to talk about the picture he claimed he had “nothing to address” under his breath.

It felt like I was cheated on.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
