Dorit once referred to Kyle as her “safe place,” but in the last few years, their friendship has taken a turn. Can they get past this? On this episode of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Rachel plans a trip to the Hamptons with Kyle and Dorit in hopes of them reconciling. While some of the women are on the East Coast, Amanda hosts a Manifestation Moment Dinner, but the only thing they seem to be manifesting is chaos.

 Rachel decides that because she misses the Hamptons so much, she is going back to her happy place. Because she really wants Kyle and Dorit to make amends, she chooses to invite both of them because who can fight in the Hamptons?! 

Dorit is beyond thrilled to receive this invitation… she doesn’t even care that Kyle is on the guest list. On the flip side, Kyle is not as happy to learn that Dorit will be coming along, but she is ready to have fun.

Amanda claims she has been misunderstood by these women, and so she has decided to throw a manifestation dinner party. She wants to open up her home to the group so that maybe they can see who Amanda truly is. She plans on having the ladies do some journaling, which I am sure they are going to be hyped about… Through these manifestations, perhaps they will have some fun.

Dorit claims she is in limbo and has no idea what is going on with PK.  She is ready to do something about this, and so she has decided to get the inside scoop from one of PK’s closest confidants, Mauricio. Dorit’s goal is to get on the same side as PK, since he is currently not communicating with her at all.

Mau states that PK would like a schedule with the children so that he can see them. Dorit claims that she is not restricting the children from PK, but Mau points out that, according to PK, he has texted asking to see the kids. Mau refers to actual text messages, but Dorit tries to explain that PK tailors things to be one-sided. Dorit plays dumb about proposals that have allegedly been texted, but Mau promises that he has seen them on PK’s end.  

Dorit is tired of PK’s false narratives that he tries to push on people. She wants Mau to be the mediator, but he seems less than thrilled. Dorit points out that PK has started drinking again, but Mauricio comes to his defense. He makes it clear that PK is under control, but Dorit is pushing the PK drinking problem issues. She is frustrated because Mau does not seem like he can be “unbiased,” and she calls the meeting a complete waste of time, because he’s not taking her side?

Sutton got a new dog! She FaceTimes her daughter to show off the pup and to discuss something serious… the annulment and name change. The church sees Sutton as Brown, and she kind of floats the idea of changing her last name back to Brown. Sutton gets emotional thinking about having a different last name from her children, but she is seriously considering finding out who she is once again.

Despite hot girl summer being a “so-two-summers-ago” phrase, Rachel is ready to bring all of her vintage pieces to the Hamptons… in her six pieces of luggage… for two days.  Naturally, Dorit rolls up late to the airport, and things are super awkward between her and Kyle. Who’s ready for a vacation?! We learn that PK is watching the children, but according to Dorit, he didn’t come to pick up the kids until very late the night before.  

Amanda is prepping for her Manifestation Moment dinner, and she is thrilled that Dorit is out of town. Meanwhile, in the Hamptons, Dorit realizes that Amanda has invited everyone but her, and so she claims she “manifested not getting an invite.” Rachel points out that the whole Hampton group is husband-less, including her sister.

This is a new side of Erika, a side that loves love and refers to her unshakeable boo as “sweetheart.”  But she is just as inquisitive as always. She discusses the “Money Queen” with Bozoma on the way to Amanda’s, and they wonder why Amanda is still so “uncomfortable” even hearing the name Dorit. This is, according to Boz, an overdramatic response to a small issue.

Night one in the Hamptons is popping off. Dorit is amped to be a part of Rachel’s world. I mean, Donna Karan just comes over to the table to meet the gals. Rachel and Donna go way back, and Kyle realizes what they are doing is much cooler than the Manifestation Moment party. 

Dorit talks about her marital situation and explains that PK asked for mediation just for this weekend. He is making this hard for Dorit since all the financials are redacted, and so things are delayed further. Dorit goes on to explain that Mau was a “loyal soldier” with a script to defend PK. According to Kyle, Dorit only wants yes people around her now.

Rachel points out that men are having a breakdown between 40 and 55, and Dorit realizes that their relationship changed when PK became obsessed with his public image.

Before they start manifesting, the ladies get a signed copy of Amanda’s self-published book, and Amanda explains that her life is a true example that you can create what you want. I mean, she manifested her Barbie Dream House life and wants to tell everyone about it, sooo.

Sutton explains that Amanda needs to cop to talking about Dorit’s marriage. Sutton reminds Amanda that she DID have her own opinion about Dorit’s issues, and she advises Amanda to admit to her wrongdoing. Amanda thought things were going to get cleared up, but instead, she blamed it all on Kyle. Sutton points out that Amanda now has Dorit and Kyle coming at each other since she threw Kyle under the bus. Amanda does not think it’s fair that she’s in this position, but Boz claims that Amanda was deflecting to get the heat off of herself. Sutton wants Amanda to stop being such a “wimp,” and of course, Amanda gets offended. So much for manifesting. Seems like the Money Queen has her work cut out with this group…

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RHOBH EPISODE?

Amanda is working overtime trying to rile Sutton up on this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton can immediately tell Amanda’s character once she brings up Avi and though Sutton tries to act unaffected, anyone can tell she is p*ssed. The Sedona trip is not quite the vacation these ladies are used to, but in the end, Sutton embraces finally becoming part of the “in crowd,” I mean group.

Sutton Brown has entered this episode- a newer, more chill version of the Sutton we once knew, or so she says.  An outing is planned to the vortex (translation: a center of energy in the Earth), so the outdoorsy girls can enjoy the energy hub and explore meditation. 

Naturally, Rachel simply cannot attend because she has no footwear for the expedition.  Instead, she opts to stay back and shop.  She is joined by Dorit and Bozoma, while Kathy (and her fans) hang back to rest.

The Sedona shopping scene (or lack thereof, according to Amanda) is quirky and they enjoy kaleidoscopes until they get bored and find a wine room.

Kyle, Jennifer, Sutton, Amanda, and Erika hop out of their pink Jeeps and take the 1.5 mile hike to the vortex in hopes of finding the perfect spot for meditation.  For a moment, I thought we were going to lose Jennifer, but she pushed herself (and her cowboy boots) and made it to the area. While some are in awe, Erika would prefer doing mushrooms to get the same effect.

As they sit, Kyle and Erika chat about the recent Dorit updates. Kyle understands that Dorit does not appreciate her doubting behavior and her tendency to stick up for PK. Erika suggests that Kyle stop talking about PK altogether, especially since lines are getting blurred.  Kyle’s ex, Mauricio, is still very close with PK, so Kyle hears that side of things, too. According to Mo, it appears as though Dorit is blocking PK’s ability to see the kids.  Kyle’s involvement is getting messy. 

Over some wine, Dorit tells the other ladies that she does not feel supported by Kyle. Boz wonders if Kyle is having a hard time because Dorit is not letting her in. But Rachel reminds Dorit that your girls should always have your back, so when Kyle did the “maybe he did or he didn’t” schtick about PK, it seemed odd. Dorit is sick of Kyle’s actions and words not lining up.

Later, the ladies are cooking a late-night dinner! Kathy is whipping up pasta primavera while the rest of the group takes their time to join, especially Boz, who is having a hard time keeping up with her IVF injections.

Amanda seeks Kyle out for some advice- aka sh*t talk. Amanda’s friend was out and some guy started talking about Sutton. This man, who was allegedly Avi, told Amanda’s friend, “Tell Amanda to call me and I’ll spill all the real dirt about Sutton.” This makes Kyle wonder why Sutton is so mysterious about the break up with Avi.  What is Sutton trying to hide?  They decide that Sutton should probably know that Avi is out here running his mouth about her.

At 10 pm, Dorit meanders in. Dinner is still not close to getting done at 10:49 pm…mainly because Sutton is in charge of cooking the chicken and Sutton is late. Amanda voices her opinion on Sutton’s tardiness and when Sutton FINALLY enters, she explains she needed to take some time for herself.  

Sutton absolutely should have brought in a personal chef because this is chaos.  While they wait for the meal to be done, Amanda claims Kyle “encouraged” her to talk to Sutton about what she heard.  Amanda relays the story to Sutton and adds that Avi also apparently said, “tell Amanda to hire me as her assistant. That would really p*ss Sutton off.” Sutton remains cool as a cucumber and Amanda looks almost mad that she did not make Sutton crack.

Jennifer explains she thought the Avi and Sutton break-up was temporary, mainly because when she talked to Avi, that’s what HE relayed. Sutton states that this Amanda situation does not affect her in any way.

It’s 11:46 pm, the dinner is still not ready and Amanda is STILL going on about Avi. Clearly the first time it didn’t cause Sutton to flinch and so Amanda is trying for round II. Sutton is unclear what Amanda is trying to do and she gets some advice from a very supportive Dorit. She explains that her life was “going in a direction” she didn’t like.  She spoke to her mom and Sutton realized that her anger from her failed marriage got pushed on other people. Now, Sutton is ready to be a good friend and a good person.

At 12:48 am, dinner is finally served.

The next morning, Erika enjoys an 11:30 margarita and Amanda realizes that she is on Sutton’s sh*t list now, especially after talking about her being late to dinner the night before (thanks to Jennifer coming through and making Sutton aware of Amanda’s smack talking). Amanda continues her pick-me behavior and explains to Rachel and Boz that with her husband, “I make in a month what he makes in a year.”

Erika is sick of Amanda trying to “stunt in front” of them and does not appreciate Amanda taking work calls the entire car ride to shopping. Evidently, turquoise and cowboy hats are what you shop for in Sedona and these ladies are on a mission. They are dropping thousands at these stores.

All that shopping makes them work up an appetite so they head to the airport for dinner.  It’s hot, they had to cook for themselves, and now they are eating at the airport runway?! Sutton sure planned this out. 

Kyle asks Amanda if she is ok during dinner, but it’s clear that Amanda is still hanging on to her “beef” with Sutton. She does not like that Sutton confronted her with a “hey missy.”  The reality is that Amanda did not like that it got back to Sutton that she was talking about her lateness. Sutton promises that Amanda will know if she is mad. Sutton explains that she was late to cook the chicken (the main dish in Amanda’s eyes) NOT because of anything about Avi…she didn’t even know the situation yet!

Sutton realizes that Amanda knows exactly what she is doing and she is attempting to use Sutton for attention. Sutton makes it clear that she is not interested in learning the facts that Amanda claims to know about Avi and shuts it down.  She will no longer talk about Avi in conversations and tells the group they are not to talk about him in front of her. Welp, looks like Sutton Stracke is back in action.

Erika points out that when Sutton shuts them down about Avi, it makes the whole situation seem bigger than it is.  Sutton explains it was a painful falling out and wonders what the ladies want from her. Erika realizes that Amanda comes across as gossipy and it was not meant to be a friendly conversation. Sutton cuts Jennifer off when she tries to help and Jennifer immediately shuts up.  

Jennifer excuses herself to use the bathroom with Kyle after Sutton jumped down her throat. Jennifer is tired of Sutton snapping at her and she has had it.  Just because Sutton is fragile, does not mean she always gets a pass, according to Jennifer.  Jennifer then tells Kyle that it’s always about Sutton and she thinks that has something to do with why Garcelle left.  Kyle is stunned. Jennifer repeats, “it’s not all about you, Sutton,” before returning to the table with Kyle.

Dorit reminds Sutton that she’s got her back, which is a huge turning point in their relationship. Sutton is shocked at the connections she has made and now she is feeling part of the group, which makes her happy.  If only she knew how UNHAPPY she just made Jennifer…

On this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bozoma hosts a speed dating event to try and get the single ladies back in the game.  When she pushes Kyle for relationship answers, Kyle talks about the importance of soul connections, not so much gender.  Now that PK has stopped assisting financially, Dorit is left trying to figure out where the money is.  With the help of Amanda, a financial empowerment teacher and coach, Dorit tries to learn life all over again.

Since most of the girls in this friend group are single, Boz has decided to host a speed dating event at her house.  She went through her rolodex and found her most eligible bachelors in hopes of making a love connection.  Boz just wants the ladies to flirt a bit, especially Kyle, since she can’t seem to figure out Kyle’s single state, not that it’s any of her business. 

As the ladies trickle in, they realize they are all wearing black, as if they came from “some sort of witch convention.” They are all a bit tentative, but Dorit is the first one with courage, plowing right out the door to greet the bachelors.  Erika is shockingly a bit awkward.  Guess her stage persona does not translate to real life…

Boz has set up some timed stations in an effort for the women to chat with each of the men.  She starts her clock and the dates begin.  Rachel throws it back to her (much) earlier days when she won biggest flirt at 6 years old and Sutton seems fearless making small talk.

Rachel realizes that she is still attracted to the type of men she should not be with and Kyle feels haunted by Mauricio since she can’t seem to get away from real estate brokers. It turns out that all the guys like Dorit, giving her the boost of confidence she so badly needed since the divorce. 

Erika admits that she has zero game; however, she is able to snag a card from the one guy Sutton showed interest in.  Awkward.  Sutton jokingly reminds Erika that her attorney husband did not work out so well and Erika hands the card over to Sutton so she can shoot her shot. 

Kyle explains that she is not actively looking to meet someone, even after 3 years of a separation.  Kyle says that she is looking for a “life partner” and wants to get married again.

Erika and Sutton take Dorit aside to see how things are going with the kids and the divorce. The children did wind up going to Florida with Dorit’s parents and now she has time to take care of her state of mind. Erika states that men get away with more than the women and Sutton reminds Dorit that as bad as it sucks, Dorit just has to get through it. Sutton totally sympathizes with Dorit and understands how hard divorce with children is.

Boz explains that she is trying hard to get to know Kyle. Kyle states that she has been in love three times and has found love since the separation.  Now, Kyle is just on her own again and is annoyed by Boz playing dumb.  It was not Kyle’s idea to be alone again, but she explains that things are complicated. Boz claims she wants to be there for Kyle, but is she just being nosey?

According to Boz, in order to be friends, Kyle has to share things.  Kyle tells Boz to say what she really means and Kyle goes on to say, “I could go Brad, I could go Angelina.” Kyle states that she is half joking, but has learned a lot about herself.  She talks about a soul connection and how gender does not matter to her. The fact that Kyle did meet someone gives her hope that love still exists.

Kyle always worries about the perception of her dating life and Rachel explains that it is ok for Kyle to freely be herself.  Kyle is sad about the end of her marriage, but she is happy to get the chance to figure out who she is once again.

Later, we get a glimpse into Amanda’s home life.  She came from humble beginnings in Oklahoma and is now living her dream.  She met her fiancé in 2019 and decided she wanted babies more than a ring.  And so, the couple had two children and now are planning their wedding.  Amanda is a “financial empowerment teacher and coach” and she explains that she manifests all that she hopes for.

Rachel has known Sutton through mutual friends and so they sit down to chat about Boz’s speed dating.  Rachel is too new out of her marriage to find a true connection and Sutton shares that her ex-husband asked for an annulment within the Catholic church.  Sutton explains that the letter came to Sutton Stracke Brown and wonders if she should drop her married name.  Rachel shares that she dropped her married name the minute she left Rodger.  Sutton realizes that her ex is not taking her back and their marriage is over, over. Sutton Brown does have a nice ring to it…

Kyle and her daughter, Alexia, are shopping for wedding flowers. The thought of Alexia getting married chokes Kyle up because at one point, she was blissfully happy with Mauricio.  A tearful Kyle hopes “neither one of them ever hurt each other and that Jake always looks at Alexia the way he does today.” Kyle worries for her daughter and wants nothing more than for them to have a successful marriage.

Boz explains that she met Amanda at  Jennifer Tilly’s party and she is intrigued by her. Amanda and Boz talk business.  Amanda has always been an entrepreneur who started as a therapist and life coach. She is not a financial planner, but likes to teach on money’s “psychological, emotional, and energy”…whatever that entails.  

Dorit joins the ladies and Amanda shares her support for Dorit as she navigates this divorce.  Dorit tells them that her “estranged husband” is an alpha businessman, but when they got married, they did not have a prenup.  In fact, PK came into the marriage broke after the 2008 financial crisis.  

After they got married, PK handled all of the finances, but now that they are divorcing, she is finding out that PK is just not paying certain things any more. According to Dorit, PK told her the finances would stay the same when they separated, but he apparently only agreed to that set-up for one month. 

Amanda tries to talk business with Dorit.  Dorit is in the dark with the finances and Boz knows that every woman should know where the money is. 

Dorit refers to PK as complex and when he starts drinking, things get more complicated.  To make matters worse, Dorit’s name is on everything.  So if PK stops paying for something or stops making payments, it is Dorit who suffers.  The unknowns are scary and Amanda wants Dorit to figure out who she wants to be no matter what PK does. Boz is not sure what kind of financial advice Amanda is giving Dorit, especially since things are bound to get very ugly between Dorit and PK…

On this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle introduces us to Amanda, a young mother who purchased Kyle’s Bel Air home. Jennifer Tilly hosts a sip and draw event with a little more than the women bargained for. Kyle’s love life continues to be questioned and Dorit realizes just how much a divorce can impact the lives of her children.

Rachel is loving her friendship with Bozoma, despite being total opposites.  According to Rachel, Boz is scared of nothing and she is scared of everything.  Take for instance, her “paralyzing” life with her ex.  Now that Rachel has broken free from Rodger, she feels refreshed and less anxious.  

Rachel explains that early on in their separation, Rodger was photographed cozying up to a mystery woman, much like Mauricio. Rachel is in awe of Rodger’s stupidity in not choosing to hide this side of his life from his children, businesses, etc.  

When it comes to Kyle’s dating life, Boz and Rachel were surprised to hear that she is not dating. Boz points out that they can be a safe place for Kyle, especially since there is so much speculation about who she is with, but Kyle remains evasive, dodging details and questions like a pro.

Kyle shares that she did not know Mauricio went from renting a high rise to leasing a house.  This move really seems to put the nail in the coffin for their marriage; however, Kyle is playing nice and visiting the new crib.  She brings Mo some new towels and he addresses his “ho era.”

Kyle makes it very clear that she is single, but admits that she has dated since the separation.  Unlike Mo, she chose to keep her dating life out of the public eye and to be more discreet.  When it comes to Mo’s choices with PDA, Kyle explains that Dorit feels as though PK was influenced by Mo’s single life.  Mo states that Dorit might have a fantasy of what reality is…

Considering the history that Erika and Sutton have had after the last five years, it is shocking to see Erika extend an olive branch to Sutton for a fancy facial. They chat about how Sutton seemed to get along with Dorit and it is likely the connection of divorce.  

Erika opens up about Tom and shares that she is heartbroken. She knows he is going to die in prison and Erika is not sure what to do as closure. Erika wishes he would “die before he would get to prison” and wonders if she should even visit him. All of it has weighed heavily on Erika five years later, as she still has civil cases and wonders if she will ever truly get away from it.

Jagger, Dorit’s son, has been having a hard time with the divorce.  And so, Dorit’s mother and father have been staying at the house to assist.  There is talk of the children going back to Florida with their grandparents for a visit sans Dorit, since Jagger seems to be the best version of himself around Dorit’s dad.

Dorit admits that she is not taking care of herself, but how could she? PK has dumped everything in her lap, including finances (PK apparently does not give Dorit any money), and she is trying to be a mom while navigating this extremely difficult and messy divorce.

Kyle brings her daughter, Alexia, to begin her wedding registry at some fancy shmancy story.  Since Kathy is out of town, Kyle has brought in the assistance of Sutton. The wedding is less than eight weeks away and Kyle is beginning to feel the pressure.

Kyle speed-tells us about this girl Amanda who bought her BelAir home.  Amanda is ALSO getting married and, shockingly, is ALSO coming to register that very moment.  Amanda enters and chats about how her man “chased her down the street in West Hollywood.”  Amanda claims her husband manifested her, which is interesting since she is known for manifesting…and also as the “money queen.”  I mean, she wrote a book titled Rich as F*ck…

They chit chat and discuss Jennifer Tilly’s upcoming Boho Chic party and attempt to make it seem natural that Amanda will be joining them for that event.

Boz visits with her daughter, Lael, and they discuss dating. Lael seems to approve of Boz’s relationship with Keely. She even goes as far as saying she wants Keely to ask her permission to marry her mother should he want to propose. 

It’s time for Jennifer’s sip and draw party. Jennifer admits that she has a big surprise for the ladies upon their arrival.  When Rachel arrives, Jennifer shares that she is a “little bit in awe” of her and her coolness, but Rachel seems to fit right in. 

Sutton went ahead and invited Amanda, who is way younger than the rest of the group. Kyle introduces Amanda to Dorit and we learn that Amanda has two step-kids (“I’m raising them”) and two other kids.

Jennifer leads the women to the easels and brings out her surprise: naked men. The women are absolutely losing it and Sutton has to put her glasses on to really focus.  Amanda does not appreciate Erika shaming her for not drinking and it’s weird since Erika seems cool with Kyle’s lack of boozing.

The drawings turn out terrible and it is clear that we have no artists in the group.  Post painting, Jennifer talks to the girls about dating.  Kyle is dodging any dating questions, despite all the pictures and rumors. Dorit shares that her “husband is too busy torturing” her and so SHE has yet to go on any date. 

Dorit goes on to say that PK is denying the travel for her children’s Florida trip solely to be mean.  She then goes on to talk about Jagger, who is asking for HER dad. Sutton is “breathless” watching Dorit crumble and she experiences PTSD because she, too, knows the ugliness of divorce.  Dorit’s kids need love and support and to be around family, but PK will only let them go to Florida if they could stay in a hotel with him. 

Dorit feels like PK is only doing these things to hurt her and does not appreciate Kyle questioning her thought process.  Boz suggests that Dorit make PK be the bearer of bad news and figures the reality is, he would not be able to take on the entire responsibility of the kids.

Kyle feels like Dorit responds differently to her than with the others.  But Kyle knows PK personally, whereas the other women have never met him.  How, then, can they make a judgment about PK?!

Later, Kyle shares with Erika that she is sick of people asking about her dating life.  She has always told people to be honest and claims she is not a liar.  She is truly single, right now, but she WAS seeing someone that she cared about very much. 

If the person was not afraid of the public scrutiny, maybe they would still be together. Kyle was in a very vulnerable place and she fell hard for this person, but this person wanted nothing to do with the publicity and limelight…which is why Kyle remained so coy about it at the time…

Based on all the evidence, Kyle appears to be talking about her rumored girlfriend, singer Morgan Wade, whom she was just spotted with in October despite stating they have split. 

“Since separating from Mo, I was in a relationship. I was at a very vulnerable place in my life and I fell hard for this person,” shared Kyle in her confessional. “You know, I’m in love with somebody, I want to share that. I don’t care, I’m an open person like hat. But that doesn’t mean that the person I’m with feels he same way.”

Kyle added, “All the speculation and the gossip and the talking is what ultimately ended it. I could have weathered the storm but this not for everyone.”

Erika lets Kyle know that she has been as forthcoming as she could be.  Unexpectedly falling in love with someone and not being able to talk about them is very difficult.  Erika realizes that the women are not going to get over it until Kyle addresses it for once and for all.  Kyle is absolutely in a rock and a hard place…
