Episode Details

It’s Season 11, Episode 9 of Southern Charm, and Charleston’s favorite man-children are proving that age is just a number that doesn't include emotional maturity. The snark squad is obsessed with Craig Conover’s "experiential" first date with Charley Manley at an oyster farm, though the internet is collectively rolling its eyes that the show gave us more footage of them slurping mollusks than actually learning how they’re grown. While Craig was feeling the romance, Austen Kroll was busy having a mid-life crisis on his mother’s couch, whining about his fear of commitment before heading into a birthday dinner that went south faster than a Carolina hurricane. A heated shouting match with Craig turned the birthday cake into a side of bitter fallout, with the two trading insults about accountability while Shep and Whitney tried—and failed—to play the role of mature adults. Between Venita and Salley’s forced friendship repair session under "Life Coach" Madison LeCroy and Austen’s inability to grow up, this episode proved that the only thing getting older in this group is everyone’s patience.
