Southern Charm<\/a><\/strong> Season 11 is back after a holiday hiatus! Last time<\/a>, Craig was furious when Austen skipped his pool party. Venita and Salley were called out for gossiping about Molly\u2019s vagina (specifically her labiaplasty). Molly confronted Salley and called her a \u201cmalicious\u201d person who needs therapy. Speaking of, Craig promised a concerned Madison that he\u2019d go back to therapy after his recent outbursts. Craig, Salley, and Charley once again ended the night in his hot tub. What happened this week on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 6?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Madison and Shep move into their new homes, with Brett jokingly telling the movers to throw away Austen\u2019s giant teddy bear. Salley and Venita continue to be at an impasse in their friendship. Miss Patricia prepares for her annual guy\u2019s dinner, hoping to avoid the chaos of years past. Austen and Craig see each other for the first time since their fight at Whitner\u2019s birthday<\/a>. And Craig admits something shocking about his relationship with Paige. What else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 6, \u201cA Medium Rare Apology,\u201d this week? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Shep the Warren Beatty of Charleston? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shep\u2019s cousin Marcie, who now has two young children, returns to Southern Charm this week. The female Shep may have settled down, but hold your shock \u2026 Shep doesn\u2019t plan to <\/a>any time soon. When Shep says he\u2019s looking for a \u201cfellow traveler,\u201d Marcie slightly roasts him by saying, \u201cSounds like you\u2019re looking for someone flexible to fit your<\/em> needs.\u201d He admits, \u201cI sound like an egomaniac.\u201d Shep compares himself to Warren Beatty, who famously didn\u2019t settle down until his 50s. But he feels like he\u2019s making adult strides by moving into a big new house, at least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venita and Salley are at an impasse <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Venita and Salley meet up to try and hash things out. But they can\u2019t stop commenting on how awkward it is. Getting to the point, Salley refuses to stop hanging out with Craig. Venita asks what the end goal is, reminding Salley she wants to be a wife, and accusing Craig of wasting her time. But Salley is just having fun. Salley is frustrated with Venita<\/a> trying to tell her what to do. Venita insists she\u2019s trying to protect Salley from getting her heart broken. She warns that Craig will \u201cwalk you like a dog on a leash until he is done with you.\u201d Salley insists Venita let her find that out for herself, and walks out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molly won\u2019t let Whitney live down that cupcake comment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Molly stops by Whitney\u2019s lair (seriously, why does he call it that) to give his belated birthday gift. It\u2019s a cupcake, referencing his body shaming comment<\/a> last season. Molly refuses to let him live it down- nor should she! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she first hooked up with Whitney a decade ago, Molly thought they\u2019d date. Which seems silly now. Whitney rightfully acknowledges she\u2019s too good for him. After dragging each other\u2019s bad tattoos, Molly plays him her music. Whitney says it\u2019s not for him, but admits he has bad taste in music. Cue the flashbacks to him embarrassingly playing guitar over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molly starts to clue Whitney in on the drama, since he hasn\u2019t been in the group much this year. She tells him about Salley\u2019s gossiping, which forces her to reveal her labiaplasty. I cannot emphasize enough how much I did not want to hear Whitney describe labia surgery, but Southern Charm forced me to anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Charley go for Craig?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Charley meets up with her older sister this week, and shares more about her backstory.<\/a> Her mom was married three times, and Charley doesn\u2019t speak to her biological father. But she\u2019s glad her mom found the right man the third time, who raised her. Through therapy, Charley realized she was her mom\u2019s \u201cconsoler\u201d growing up. She thinks this is why she has a hard time prioritizing herself now. She tells her sister she likes Craig, but Salley likes him too. Her sister encourages her to go for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craig’s ChatGPT breakthrough about Austen <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of, Craig meets Whitner for beers at By The Way (his and Austen\u2019s bar). He apparently had a breakthrough in therapy with \u2026 ChatGPT. It helped him realize why Austen triggers him<\/a>. Austen staying in a relationship with Audrey despite not wanting to marry her brings back Craig\u2019s unresolved feelings about Paige. It\u2019s an interesting theory, at least. Whitner can sympathize with and relate to Craig\u2019s post-breakup blues, considering his fiance dumped him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After crying to ChatGPT, Craig feels like he can move on. Now, he\u2019s wondering what \u201cthe rules are about making out\u201d and if he has to date someone after. Whitner brings up the two single women who spend a lot of time in his hot tub, encouraging Craig to ask one of them out. Whitner says that, after what he went through, he has no fear about asking girls out. He even got stood up on Valentine\u2019s Day! Whitner, I have a feeling a lot of Southern Charm fans are about to ask you out via DMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Patricia prepares for this year\u2019s guy\u2019s dinner <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Miss

It\u2019s time again for Miss Patricia\u2019s guy\u2019s dinner. She claims she started the tradition because the guys give her the best gossip. While preparing this year, Patricia has some issues with her current butler Randy. Especially after he accidentally melted his cell phone in the oven! Michael is just too tough of an act for another butler to follow. RIP Michael, we all miss you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s theme is East Asian, and Miss Patricia claims the dragon adorning her china represents love and friendship. She hopes that means Austen and Craig can mend things. But Austen is dreading the dinner. Audrey is similarly offended by Craig\u2019s comments about their relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitner finally meets Patricia, and Whitney\u2019s British doctor friend Stephen joins the group this year. Patricia warns Stephen and Whitner about the past disasters, like when Craig broke a chair and spilled wine, or when Whitney fell down. Whitney isn\u2019t as harsh on Shep as last year, when he kept making digs about Sienna<\/a>. But he is offended by Shep\u2019s casual shirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia grills the guys about their love lives <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Patricia asks if he and Audrey will get married anytime soon, Austen answers \u201cno\u201d so definitively and emphatically that Stephen can\u2019t help but laugh. Oof, maybe Craig has a point about Austen stringing Audrey along? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked who he has an eye on, Whitner shares that he was interested in Charley. He even asked if she wanted to get a drink sometime at Salley\u2019s singles party<\/a>. However, Charley shot him down by saying she\u2019d go if it were a \u201cgroup thing.\u201d Ouch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia brings up the hot tub, and Craig says no one\u2019s even kissed yet. What are they possibly doing in that hot tub until 4 am then? Stephen says Craig seems like the serious relationship type, and Craig reveals that he would get back with Paige if she asked. Everyone is stunned by this \u2026 because that ship sailed a long<\/em> time ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do Craig and Austen go from here? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Austen

All in all, disaster was avoided at dinner, though there was some debate over if Stephen broke his chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, Craig and Austen chat one on one. The extremely loud frogs outside add to the tension. Austen feels like he has to play a game of chess with Craig, because he never knows how he’ll react. Craig insists Austen’s digs triggered his feelings about being hurt by friends. He apologizes again, emphasizes he’s in therapy (hopefully not just with ChatGPT) and asks for grace. Craig misses Austen, and Austen can’t help but care about him. But he warns Craig that if another outburst happens, they’re done<\/em><\/a>. For now, Austen is keeping his expectations of Craig low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week on Southern Charm, it looks like Venita might be right, because Craig asks Charley out just as Salley admits she\u2019s catching feelings. We’ll have to watch to see the fallout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern Charm<\/a> airs Wednesdays at 9\/8c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
