In The Pioneer Woman season 10 episode 7, titled "Just Me and the Girls," viewers get to see Ree Drummond, the host, spending some quality time with her girlfriends. This episode is all about girl power, and the ladies indulge in some relaxing girl time, including shopping, lunch, and cocktails.

The episode begins with Ree's two closest friends, Hyacinth and Beth, visiting her at the ranch. This scenic ranch is located in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Ree and her friends excitedly plan a day together without the men or any kids around. Ree decides they should go out for lunch, do some shopping, get their nails done, and enjoy a drink or two.

First on the agenda is lunch. Ree takes her friends to her favorite local restaurant, where they indulge in some guilty pleasures. They start off with a round of margaritas, and then Hyacinth and Beth order a juicy burger, while Ree opts for a salad. The ladies sit back and chat, catching up on their lives since they last saw each other.

Next on the list is shopping. Ree takes her friends to the Mercantile, which she owns with her husband. The Mercantile is a popular destination for visitors to Pawhuska, and it sells various items such as clothing, kitchen supplies, and household items. The three friends stroll around the store, admiring the merchandise, and trying on different outfits. Ree even gets to demonstrate her sales skills by convincing Hyacinth to buy a pair of cowboy boots.

After shopping, the ladies head to the local salon to get their nails done. They sit back in comfortable chairs, relax, and indulge in some pampering. Ree opts for a neutral pink, while her friends go for bolder colors. They chat about their kids, their husbands, and life in general.

The day is not over yet; the ladies need to relax with some cocktails. Ree takes Hyacinth and Beth to a local bar, where they sit on the patio, drinking cocktails and enjoying the sun. The ladies clink their glasses and toast to the joys of friendship.

Finally, the day comes to an end, and Ree's friends head back home. But before leaving, they share a heart-to-heart conversation with Ree about the importance of maintaining friendships. They remind Ree that taking the time to hang out with friends is essential, even though life can get busy.

"And that's what it's all about," says Ree. "Taking the time to just hang out with good friends, relax, and recharge. It's so important, and I'm grateful to have these two amazing ladies in my life."

The episode ends with Ree driving her friends to the airport, offering hugs and goodbyes. It's a bittersweet moment, but Ree is grateful for the special day she shared with Hyacinth and Beth. This episode is a reminder that taking time for oneself and spending time with good friends is essential for one's well-being.
