As Charleston deals with the fallout from Ashley's "apology tour" at Eliza's luncheon, Kathryn confronts Whitney about their summer romance rumor. Cameran reveals to Shep that she's invited Madison, to her birthday ski trip in Colorado, much to his chagrin. Meanwhile, the trip gets off to a rocky start as a frustrated Craig unleashes his pent up fury on the gang. As everyone settles into the Steamboat Springs chalets, all eyes are on Austen and Madison as they spend their first night together under one roof since their breakup.

After a raucous night in Colorado, Cameran and Whitney decide to hightail it back to Charleston while the rest of the gang hits the hot springs. When it becomes clear that Austen and Madison's road to reconciliation won't be an easy one, Shep gloats. An infuriated Madison repeats a rumored secret that not only throws Shep under the bus, but Danni too. After this bomb is dropped, Austen is left to pick up the pieces, and the rest of the Charmers to take sides.
