Rachel cherishes her friendship with Bozoma, even though they are polar opposites. Rachel describes Boz as fearless, whereas she feels fearful about almost everything. Reflecting on her past relationship with her ex, Rodger, she admits it was a “paralyzing” experience. Since their separation, Rachel feels rejuvenated and much less anxious.

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.

After they parted ways, Rodger was spotted with an unidentified woman, drawing a parallel to Mauricio. Rachel is astonished by Rodger’s lack of discretion, particularly in not shielding this aspect of his life from their children and business affairs.

Regarding Kyle’s romantic life, both Boz and Rachel were taken aback to learn that she is not seeing anyone. Boz emphasizes their willingness to be a confidant for Kyle amidst rampant speculation about her relationships. However, Kyle skillfully evades sharing any details or answering questions.

Kyle confesses she was unaware that Mauricio transitioned from renting an apartment to leasing a house. This change seems to solidify the end of their marriage, yet Kyle maintains a cordial front, even visiting his new place. She brings him fresh towels while Mauricio openly acknowledges his “ho era.”

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.”

Kyle Richards cries to Erika Jayne over having to keep her past relationship a secret

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…
