If there's one thing we can never accuse Heather Gay of on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, it's being boring. Because a big mystery throughout Season 3 was Heather's black eye and how she got it.

It remained a topic of conversation among fans and in the Season 4 finale, Heather finally reveals who gave her that black eye.

Before now, some fans speculated that Heather's close friend and cousin, Whitney Rose, was behind the incident. Heather and Whitney were knee-deep in their feud, which is now a thing of the past, by the time we reached the black eye incident in the third season. So when Heather removed her sunglasses to reveal her bruised eye in Season 3, Episode 11, some fans assumed that it had to do with the issues between the two women.

How did Heather Gay get a black eye on 'RHOSLC'?

The mid-season trailer for RHOSLC Season 3 showed Heather dealing with an attempted home invasion, so some fans speculated on Twitter that her black eye had to do with that. Others assumed the worst and felt that maybe Whitney had something to do with it.

When she showed Meredith Marks her eye, Heather's co-star was shook. Fans were left speculating about what happened. And now, well after the drama surrounding the eye died down, Heather has revealed who gave her the shiner.

In the Season 4 finale of RHOSLC, Heather reveals to a table of shocked co-stars that, during a night of drinking, Jen Shah gave Heather the black eye. But, at the tine, Heather wanted to protect her friend, so she lied about how she got it.

Heather was reminded of her black eye during the 'RHOSLC' Season 4 finale.

Maybe we would have never gotten confirmation about Jen's alleged involvement in the back eye debacle, had there not been more drama in the Season 4 finale. During the dramatic episode, Heather outs newcomer Monica Garcia as the alleged person behind a gossip Instagram account that has targeted the ladies of RHOSLC. On the show, Heather says she didn't want to "shut down feelings of doubt" as she did for Jen, who was convicted of charges relating to a telemarketing scheme.

Heather then adds that she also went to bat for Jen in regards to her black eye, since she never revealed who gave it to her before now. And, like the black eye, the conversation in which Heather accuses Monica of Being the voice behind Reality Von Tease will go down in Real Housewives history.

Watch The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
