It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for the women of Beverly Hills. Kyle Richards and Crystal Minkoff are at Children’s hospital LA for a toy drive for the kid. Kyle apologizes to Crystal for eating too many dumplings at Crystal's dumpling making party. We cut to a montage of Kyle eating about 12 dumplings throughout the night. Dorit and PK Kemsley are at home. PK will be away working for two weeks and requests an 8 foot cardboard cutout of Dorit to travel with him. Lisa Rinna is filming to promote Project Angel Food.
Sutton Stracke picks up Erika Jayne in her new midlife crisis Bentley to take her out to a day spa. We learn Sutton rented out the entire spa for the two of them, and Sutton sets Erika up with a care package full of candles, candy and booze. Erika gets picked up by Sutton in her new Bentley. Sutton gets Erika to open up about her divorce. Erika reveals that she was deeply hurt that Tom Girardi never went to see her perform on Broadway. Erika also claims she's good at cryotherapy because she's an Ice Queen.
Crystal is kickboxing at home and trying to get her children to join in on the exercise.
Garcelle Beauvais wraps a day of filming on The Real. Garcelle's sons confront her for killing the Kyle goldfish and it’s revealed they don’t like the idea of their mom dating again.
Erika picks Lisa Rinna up in her new Range Rover to shop for Christmas decorations for her new home. In a flashback, we find out Garcelle had Erika over and Garcelle questioned Erika on the internet rumors circling about her. Erika asks about 37-year old Scott Disick dating Rinna's 19-year old daughter, Amelia. The producers shade Erika for not doing simple math to age Tom correctly after stating she was 28 and he was in his 50s when they met. Erika shares that she’s sad this Christmas will be emptier than usual. Rinna shares she’s sad she’ll be without her mom for the first time this Christmas.
Kyle is at home preparing dinner for her family. She dotes on daughter Portia, whose upcoming bat mitzvah has brought stress and extra sadness during Covid. Her older daughter, Sophia surprises the family, coming home early from college and Portia drops to the floor and sobs.
Dorit gets a picture of herself to hang up in her home which she admits to be shamelessly narcissistic. (Earlier producers showed artwork of Crystal and her husband in their home.)
The ladies head to The Huntley for cocktails hosted by Kyle. Crystal and Kathy Hilton arrive together, Crystal disgusted that Kathy is filing her nails in the car on the ride there. Erika tells Rinna she's ate steak for dinner the night before, breakfast this morning, and ordered it for dinner tonight. At The Huntly, Erika orders another hot toddy. Kathy tells Rinna that she should refer to Scott Disick as Lord when they finally meet. In their confessionals, each woman, aside from Erika and Kathy, voice their heavy disapproval. Erika reminds us that she was that daughter dating an older man and Kathy says it could be worse. Kathy thinks "mazel tov" means happy celebration, good luck, and/or Merry Christmas. Garcelle shares how her eldest son Oliver started dating a woman with 3 kids and it ended up blessing her with four grandchildren and a blended family. Kyle shares that Mauricio's grandmother disapproved of their relationship until Kyle wrote her a letter telling her how much she loves and will lover her grandson
At the table, Sutton asks Garcelle how’s she juggling three men at the same time. And then exposes Garcelle to the other women as having 3 boyfriends. Kyle and Kathy bring up Coatgate again. The women then debate the definition of violating. And Crystal gets more and more upset that her privacy was violated but at this point most of the group seems to be siding with Sutton. Especially because the story Crystal told the other women is different than what actually happened. The episode ends with both women agreeing to disagree. Honorable mention to Kathy for calling Dorit her English friend, despite Dorit being from Connecticut, and referring to Sutton as Thomalina as in a Peeping Thomalina.
