This week on "The Real Housewives of Orange County," Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson finally revealed his medical records to Tamra Judge to prove once and for all that he really has cancer. Tamra suggested that maybe they should show it to the other ladies well.

The episode saw Brooks and Vicki going to the doctor to get the results of his PET scan. The doctor said that Brooks has "a large mass on the upper part of the abdomen." Upon further examination, the doctor told the couple that Brooks has a growth in his abdomen that measures about 14 centimetes and that it's pushing his kidneys to the side. Vicky told the camera that after seeing the PET scan results, she still can't believe how people would insist that Brooks was faking his cancer. The doctor then told him that he had to adjust his diet and avoid getting stressed.

Afterwards, Vicki invited Tamra Judge over to her house to show her Brooks's medical records. As for why they chose to share this with Tamra, Brooks told her that since she is Vicki's oldest friend, it just made sense that they asked her to help them dispel talks about his cancer.

Tamra riffled through the medical records, but she was unable to understand them. She told the camera that she didn't know that someone could get abdominal masses because of blood cancer. Tamra then suggested that maybe they should show everyone the records so that the other housewives would stop speculating about Brooks' condition. But Vicki said that they didn't need to do that.

"You're my friend, so if it comes up, you stand with conviction and tell the ladies, 'We're done'," Vicki told Tamra.

Next week, in the episode titled "Satan Loves Confusion," Vicki's daughter Brianna visits the OC, and over lunch with Tamra, Brianna passes on some shocking information about Brooks. Meanwhile, Shannon Beador's renewed friendship with Heather and Tamra allows her to confide in them about her marriage in a way that she never thought she could. The episode will also see the housewives prepare for Tamra's baptism in some unusual way.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs on Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
