First Appearance: Season 1, Episode 4 – “Wicked Lips”
Things get deliciously awkward in this upscale setting when Judy Gemstone and B.J. sit down for a tense dinner with B.J.’s disapproving family. The emotional explosion—and Judy’s unfiltered, hilarious outbursts—make this one of the standout cringe comedy scenes of the season.
The scene was filmed at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in North Charleston, directly across from the North Charleston Coliseum. The hotel’s stylish and modern atmosphere serves as a striking contrast to the family drama playing out over dinner, making it a memorable backdrop in the Gemstone world.
