Southern Charm

Austen and Madison are back together, and their bond is stronger than ever – but it's Craig who's moved in with him after his house was damaged by a flood. Living with someone from her past, Kathryn reveals a bit of gossip to Craig and finds herself unprepared for the repercussions. With a new girlfriend and a therapist in tow, Shep's new and improved attitude leaves him determined to keep his nose out of his everyone's business. But an unexpected twist has his friends wondering if he's really changed at all.

Shep continues to spread gossip at his party, upsetting Madison and ultimately affecting his friendship with Austen. Meanwhile, Leva comes to Cameran's defense and confronts Kathryn for igniting the rumor mill. Patricia suggests John pursue Madison. With the biggest beer event of Austen's career on the horizon, he wonders if his friends will show up to support or sabotage his big day.

Leva hosts a Persian Dinner for the girls, while the boys go out and discover John doesn't honor bro-code. Meanwhile, pigs officially fly when Shep and Taylor double-date with Austen and Madison. And when Kathryn finds out a secret about Thomas, her fantasy of them getting back together crumbles.

The guys prepare for Patricia's annual dinner party, despite tensions among the group. John follows Patricia's advice and decides to pursue Madison, even though it means breaking bro-code with his friend Austen. Meanwhile, Kathryn refocuses her life after learning that Thomas has a new baby on the way. Everything comes to a screeching halt when Charleston is forced to deal with the onset of Coronavirus.

The past two months have seen so many changes, not just in Charleston but around the world. A global pandemic. Schools, restaurants, and other public spaces closed. Residents asked to quarantine at home. Not to mention, political rallies and other protests. As Charleston reopens, everyone comes to grips with their "new normal."

John cozies up to Madison as she reaches a decision about Austen. After Craig debuts his HSN line, Patricia has an announcement of her own. Meanwhile, Shep and his girlfriend struggle with the pressures of quarantine, and Leva confronts Kathryn over issues of race and privilege.

Shep tries to charm his way out of the doghouse with his girlfriend, Taylor. After an apology tour, Kathryn continues to face backlash for her exchange on social media. Austen refuses to accept that his relationship with Madison is over, pushing Craig to make an unexpected, last-ditch effort to help his friend.

On the heels of their break up, Madison invites everyone to what was supposed to be Austen's birthday party. After Craig advises her to disinvite the birthday boy, Austen decides to show up anyway. Meanwhile, Kathryn struggles in her friendships with Danni and Madison Simon, who are determined to have it out with her once and for all. When they all gather on Capers, a private island with no way in or out except by ferry, what could possibly go wrong?

It's sink or swim on the two-part season finale opener, as Pringle and Shep cohost a "good times" pool party. Leva finally calls out the boys on their unyielding defense of Kathryn, and questions if they know all sides to the story. And while Craig may have found his storybook romance, Austen looks to close the chapter on Madison for good.

As the finale concludes, fireworks fly when Madison learns Austen has been hooking up with another woman. While Kathryn finally confronts her DM scandal, other fractures in the group threaten to finally break their friendships.

The two-part Southern Charm reunion kicks off as the group comes together to rehash a shocking season that tested their friendships in more ways than one. Craig holds nothing back when confronting Madison for a snide comment she made about his relationship. A scorned Austen wastes no time fanning those flames, questioning his ex-girlfriend's motives while they were together. Meanwhile, Shep's fidelity to his girlfriend is called into question and Kathryn takes her friends to task about a rumor she claims did not start with her.

The Southern Charm reunion concludes with a rollercoaster of emotions. As Craig stews over his strained friendship with Madison, newbie John finds himself in the hot seat for continuously breaking bro-code. Just as Austen finally comes to terms with his recent breakup, Madison shocks the group with news of another budding romance. Meanwhile, Leva and Kathryn desperately try to come to an understanding about the emoji controversy. Except this time, Kathryn is not the only one Leva calls out for living in a 'bubble of privilege.'

Southern Charm Season 7 comes to a close with never-before-seen footage and shocking revelations from Charleston's resident socialites. Watch as the group celebrates Republic's seventh anniversary, hear the lengths Pat went through to hire Michael, and find out what the guys really got up to during lockdown.
