'It (Never) Ends' with Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, Brandi Glanville's Gnarly Nair Routine, and Teddi Mellencamp on '50-50' Cancer Odds

Blake Lively's deposition took a shocking turn when an uninvited guest showed up, reigniting her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
It truly never ends. Brooke and Arisha return to the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni mess, this time around Blake's deposition and the new legal-team tension over who showed up. Vacation is canceled, baby. The tone is pure Rich and Weekly: friendly exhaustion, quick jokes, and the feeling that everyone hoped this saga had finally gone quiet. Then the story takes a hard turn. Brandi Glanville's face becomes the focus, starting with her 2023 stress-induced angioedema diagnosis and the severe swelling that followed. The hosts react right away. A possible parasite sends them into a small panic spiral, with water fears, lake suspicion, and one host remembering a kayaking cut from 15 years ago. Brandi's timeline sounds rough. She has said she thinks something may have happened while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco, and the hosts treat that uncertainty with more concern than punchline. The money lands hard too. Immunology, infectious disease, rheumatology, and ENT visits have reportedly cost her $70,000, which makes the celebrity-health headline feel sharper and sadder. Then comes the TikTok. Brandi appears with red, blotchy, peeling skin after using Nair on her face because she believes it helps with the issue. Everyone sounds genuinely alarmed. The hosts repeat that she thinks the parasite dislikes the product, while the idea of it moving near her eyebrow makes the whole thing feel unreal. The jokes keep coming, but sympathy stays in the room. They keep circling back to how depressing and mentally painful Brandi has said this has been. Brooke and Arisha close as Rich and Weekly, name the production team, and send the Richies back out until next week.
