The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 1 Episode 7

Jeana shops with her son, Shane, for some last minute items as he prepares to leave for college. She also decides its time to bond with her daughter Kara — by inviting her to an exclusive diamond-shopping trip. Its time for Shane to leave the nest and Kara is visibly upset with her brother’s departure.

In other parts of the gated community, Kimberly and Jo prepare to play a tennis match with women from the very competitive and elite Women’s Tennis League.

After the tennis match, Jo and Slade have an emotional confrontation that brings more questions than answers about the relationship.

Vicki is excited to join the diamond-shopping trip, where she contemplates a new setting for her wedding ring. Vicki’s son Michael is eager to leave for college, but Vicki struggles to let him go. Fearing the empty nest, she tries to spend quality time with Briana, but it doesn’t go as expected.

Doing better financially, Lauri joins Vicki and Jeana on the diamond-shopping spree in Beverly Hills, where she agonizes about whether she should buy something for herself. Lauri also volunteers for a rock concert charity event, where Steve, her boyfriend, is the headliner. Later on, a rift develops between Lauri’s kids and her boyfriend.
