Sold on SLC is back via Episode 7, featuring a retreat to help return these sinners to their saint-like ways. Not shockingly, this plan comes up short. Last week, the agents loaded their chartered party bus as stripper jokes sounded, making Jennifer sigh. Jennifer has a lot of work to do, as her interoffice red flags love waving daily at half-mast.
Her female agents remain frustrated with Matt. And now, his wife Nicole has entered the chat. Nicole is equally annoyed that the ladies who work with her husband are struggling with their silence on his antics. Yet, if these ladies felt heard or saw Matt taking on water like them, this storyline tide might turn.
Tyna, however, might not be able to wait for the seas to self-correct at Presidio. She already has one foot out the door. Hopefully, this retreat will change her mind. Or not, hence this recap for an appropriately titled Sold on SLC Episode 7: “Thou Shalt Retreat Others with Respect.”
What happened in Sold on SLC Episode 7?
Matt used to visit strip clubs. This secret came out courtesy of Kiley, a friend of this cast. While Matt should be the maddest at himself, he is now turning on Malaysia. Matt and Kenny find it fishy that her guest outed him, so now, they are throwing Malaysia under the bus with their suspicions.
Unfortunately, Jennifer is also raising her eyebrows at Malaysia. But Malaysia feels like Jennifer is turning her back on her, and she is not here for this. Nor is Tyna. Her foot is sliding even farther out the door of this brokerage.
Sarah, Malaysia, and Tyna feel insecure, as their boss does not seem to have their backs. Couple this storyline with the narratives that Matt and Kenny are feeding us, and you will see that things are not well at Presidio.
The Presidio agents arrive at their retreat in Saint George, Utah, where fingers start pointing at Malaysia
The agents pull up to their luxurious villas in St. George, Utah. Jennifer assigns Sarah to a suite while Malaysia and Tyna score individual rooms with en-suite baths. The men, however, are all staying together in a room filled with bunk beds. They are annoyed, and we will allow it.
The girls grab snack plates and robes and visit Sarah in her gigantic suite. They are frustrated that Nicole called Malaysia out for making a pole joke.
In their sausage-filled space, Tyler, another Presidio agent, learns about the drama he somehow missed from Matt and Kenny. But Matt keeps his sins brief. He then turns the conversation into a set-up storyline that we already hate. Matt and Kenny think Malaysia set Matt up, and they hate her jokey text about a pole, so now they are pointing their fall guy fingers at Malaysia, not Matt.
Tyler does not jump on their bandwagons. Instead, he instructs Matt to remain vulnerable and keep moving forward. You can stay, Tyler (for now).
Malaysia visits Jennifer in her suite. Malaysia thinks that Matt and Nicole called her out in public on purpose. Jennifer agrees that Nicole should have confronted Malaysia in private. But she also feels like Malaysia needs to apologize for her too-soon jests.
Jennifer then tells Malaysia that she is somewhat to blame. She thinks Malaysia could have kept these rumors quieter. Malaysia was all of us in her confessional, explaining how odd it is that this sex scandal is seeing an innocent woman get the blame instead of the man.
Jennifer wants Malaysia to apologize. She hates what Malaysia is doing to them, she states. But Malaysia claps back, leaving Jennifer frustrated.
Jennifer plans a breathwork activity that leaves Kenny in tears
Jennifer holds a breathwork session to try and restore peace amongst her agents. Defeated, Malaysia arrives last. As their session rolls along, Kenny starts audibly crying. Erin (their coach), Jennifer, and Matt gather around in support.
In front of everyone, Kenny gathers his emotions and explains that he felt positive childhood memories creeping back into his subconscious. Kenny must have blocked these recollections out, he says. Therefore, his emotions went into overdrive after revisiting these timelines. His vulnerability encourages Matt to speak out next.
The music shifts into a Poky the Little Puppy-styled crawl as Matt gathers his thoughts, proving that this series has a solid production team. Through tears, Matt admits that he struggles with confrontation. He likes connection more, he adds.
Annoyed, Sarah reminds us in her confessional that Matt needs to apologize then because his mouth has said some awful, non-connecting statements about her.
Back in the villa, Tyna and Kenny partner off. As do Sarah and Malaysia. Malaysia and Sarah are bothered that the tables are turning, making the ladies look like villains.
In their huddled spot, Kenny confides in Tyna. When he was young, his parents divorced. Abuse transpired at his address at the hands of his father, who has since passed away. Tyna cries, admitting she was also abused as a child, so she can understand how Kenny blocked out his positive childhood memories, as she did the same.
Jennifer pairs her agents off for a shockingly successful day of team-building
The agents gather on the sofa, where Jennifer partners them off to either tire joust or ride UTVs. Malaysia gets Kenny. Together, they get tire jousting.
Sarah gets assigned to Matt. They will also partake in a tire jousting activity. Tyna, however, gets Tyler, making them the only excited duo in this room.
The tire jousters head outside to await their instructions. They learn they are not riding down a hill in their tires or doing anything else that might be wild. Instead, they are poking tires with lance-like objects. Whomp whomp.
Across town, Tyna and Tyler are having the time of their lives in their UTV. The cameras pan back to the jousters. They are experiencing the opposite. On the bright side, Sarah and Matt bond a little, as do Malaysia and Kenny, so maybe Jennifer was on to something with this idea.
Back at the villa, Tyna and Tyler head to the couch. Tyna admits she is looking at other brokerages. Tyler understands. Can we start a petition to get Tyler featured more in this series?
Jennifer finds success again via a suggestion box activity but Malaysia still finds herself in the hot seat
Later that night, the agents gather around a campfire, but it is not to sing kumbaya. Instead, Jennifer asks them to write down anonymous suggestions for a discussion. Kenny fails. He writes his name on his, but his suggestion is far from catty, so he remains safe.
Tyna remains amazing. She is hiding under a blanket, trying to avoid smoke inhalation, joking about finding better ways to get choked than this.
Jennifer reads the first anonymous note, asking her to remain neutral in office conflicts. She tears up but admits that she agrees and understands. However, Jennifer explains that she harbors a sore spot for agents who have left Presidio.
Her tears ramp up at the next card, which mentions only positive things about Presidio and Jennifer. None of the agents in this series wrote this note, as they each admit to being not it in their confessionals. It must have been one of the other top-earning agents along for the ride.
The next day, the boys help each other with their spray tans. Then, Kenny finds Tyna to share his suspicions about Malaysia. Tyna shuts him down at first, but his statements make her pause. Yet, she remains unconvinced that Malaysia set Matt up.
But in her confessional, Tyna admits that if this is true, it might change her perception of Malaysia. We asked Malaysia about this already. She preplanned nothing, she stated, so now, we wait to see how this shakes out next week when the finale of Sold on SLC airs.
Sold on SLC is streaming on Peacock.
