2nd Season Re-Cap

The second season brought us one new girl, Tammy Knickerbocker who replaced Kimberly Bryant as the Bryant's moved to Chicago to get out of the sun.



TAMMY KNICKERBOCKER


Tammy was married to Lou Knickerbocker and has two daughters with him. She also has a little boy by her former boyfriend Duff who happens to now be working for Vicki in the insurance business. Tammy is pressured by Duff to get back together as he feels he is everything she needs. However, she makes is clear to him she isn't interested. She goes on a blind date that was a disaster as she assured her shocked date that she never 'puts out'. Her daughters are extremely spoiled by daddy and the younger one is seen in one episode with other female children of OC housewives modeling for Lou to promote the OC Energy Drink. They used to live in a large home but Lou lost his business and they were divorced. Tammy is now in a home that Jeanna found for her.


THE REST OF THE GALS -

Joe -
We see Joe whining constantly about the fact that Slade doesn't like her habit of drinking herself silly without him but still wants his money. At the end of the season they break up and at the last BBQ of the year we see Slade with a date. He also dated Lauri for a bit after Jo. Jo accepted a job at a title insurance office in Beverly Hills and moved to LA with her lamebrain friend JJ. She moved to a very small apartment. Jo also was seen working on launching her music career if you can call it that. I'm not sure anyone, except self promoting Slade, has been impressed with her efforts. She did manage to get a recording contract but obviously it is simply to promote the recording company since she is currently getting her 15 minutes of fame.

Vicki -
Vicki's daughter goes off to nursing school and her son to college in Colorado. Vicki shows up without warning at her son's frat house and he is very rude and tells her she should have called. She cries but in the end they make up and all is well especially since mom Vicki brought the beer! Definitely as controlling as ever. Looks like the only enjoyment she has is when her and Donn go to Havasu to enjoy their boat and friends on the lake. A far cry from their pretentious life in Coto.

Jeanna -
Jeanna sends Shane off to college so he can actually be responsible for himself and work on getting a baseball contract. She continues to sell house after house but has no relationship on camera with her husband unless he is slamming doors or putting her down.

Lauri -
Lauri is now dating millionaire George and she couldn't be happier. She continues to have issues with her son but you never see her make any effort. Her daughter takes over the condo since mom moves in with George. Her daughter allows the pets to run rampant and poop all over the condo. Looks like in a year she hasn't learned anything about responsibility. The kids are basically on their own while mom moves on with George. She does take her 5 year old with her to George's house. She goes on a vacation with George and is thoroughly enjoying her new status in life. She claims she is Republican but doesn't really understand exactly what they entails. She is working less and less and Vicki seems a bit jealous. She is also worried that Lauri relies on George too much to financially take care of her and she can be in the same boat again just as she was last year. George proposes at the end of the year and delivers a brand new luxury car to her after a photo shoot for the ladies.
