The reunion show opens at the Edison Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan on pretty blue sofas. Heather says she’s ready to retire “Holla!”

The only time Bethenny felt like she made the wrong decision coming back was when she saw LuAnn and Kelly Bensimon getting miked. When she sees footage of herself from this season, she understands what people are saying. She’s aggressive and abrasive. It can be hard for her to watch.

Bethenny says her divorce has gone on for three years and it is the most excruciating thing she’s had to deal with. Heather says that Bethenny’s ex is playing a lot of head games with Bethenny concerning their daughter. 

Heather says LuAnn wasn’t at all happy that Bethenny was coming back on the show. LuAnn made a toast to bring Bethenny down. That’s why she called in Kelly. LuAnn says it’s not true but Carole backs Heather up. Ramona and Sonja are clueless.

Sonja says her debts are paid and she’s moving forward. Sonja claims she told Heather that Bethenny was running late for the Atlantic City trip and that she was on the phone with her sister who’s best friend had just died and she couldn’t pick up her daughter until three. Heather and the other ladies have no idea what she’s talking about. Sonja never told them anything, simply made them wait for an hour and a half in her unheated foyer on a rainy day. 

Bethenny says that Sonja isn’t malicious but she acts very different when she’s drinking. Sonja claims she used to party all the time with John John Kennedy. Carole calls her out. John John was part of her family and he didn’t party. 

Carole and Adam have been dating for eight months. LuAnn says that Adam was still dating her niece when they got together. Carole says that isn’t true. LuAnn says young guys are okay to have around but not to date. The ladies bring up Eric and LuAnn says he’s in his 30s and she’s not sleeping with him on a regular basis. 

LuAnn is upset because Adam is in his twenties, was dating her niece and was employeed by her. She says her friendship with Carole is over.
