Things are slowly heating up on Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 16. The show's previous episode (episode four) ended on an extremely dramatic note as Heather Dubrow openly warned Shannon Beador against ever trying to come after her family. Unfortunately, before Shannon could respond to Heather's thinly-veiled threats, the episode came to an end. So if you tuned in tonight eager to watch Shannon's response to Heather, then you might be in for some disappointment.

Instead of the familiar faces of the housewives- Gina Kirschenheiter, Noella Bergener, Dr Jen Armstrong, Emily Simpson, Heather, and Shannon- you will be greeted by reruns of 'RHOC'. So, in case you're wondering why your favorite 'RHOC' isn't airing and when it will return, then we got you covered. Read on to know all about it.

Why is 'RHOC' not airing this week?

'RHOC' has gone on a one-week break on account of the Holidays season. So, you don't have to wait for too long to catch up with the Orange County housewives delivering us some amazing drama, as they will be returning on Wednesday, January 5, 2022. 

What to expect when 'RHOC' returns?

The week-long wait will be worth it as 'RHOC' Season 16 Episode 5 titled 'A Tele-Noella' will feature loads of drama between the housewives. Aside from the aftermath of Shannon's apology to Heather, we will also see the bubbling tension between the ladies beginning to surface. The two newbies, Dr Jen and Noella, got off to a rocky start, as both, the ladies instantly seemed to be put off by each other. But the upcoming episode will feature Dr Jen trying to smoothen things with Noella, but that doesn't go down well either, it ends up backfiring leaving the ladies hating each others' guts even more. 

While Dr Jen and Noella are locking horns, Gina and Heather are busy bonding with each other during their glamorous outing at the race track. Gina warns Heather about more negative comments Noella has made. Dr. Jen, still reeling from her argument with Noella, questions her story, but Emily does her best to set the record straight. We wouldn't be surprised if a Noella & Shannon vs the other ladies will soon be on the horizon. We can't wait to catch up on all the OC drama.

'Real Housewives of Orange County will return with Season 16's Episode 5 after a week-long break on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at 9/8c on Bravo.
