The women of Beverly Hills are back for episode 17! Rhino, a dashing friend of PK's, gives each women an early knock on the door and hand delivers an invitation to the launch of Dorit Kemsley's bridal line with Nektaria.
Kathy Hilton greets Kyle Richards at her home to have a small group of the women coming over for facials from Lejla, of Knesko Skin. Kathy is lying on the floor, howling with her dog Sue as Lisa Rinna walks in. Erika Jayne Girardi joins them. Lejla infuses all the masks with gemstones and reiki, because Lejla is also a reiki master. Kathy admits that when someone talks about meditation she typically tunes out.
Kyle asks Erika about her beef with Sutton Stracke and Erika confirms she's done with Sutton and they will not be working things out. In a crazy plot twist, Erika tells Kyle, "Tom's house was broken into and he confronted the burglar. And then had to go have eye surgery. And then my son had to go over and help. And then my son, he rolled his car five times on the way home. Yeah, I'm under a lot of stress." Kyle questions Erika as to when this happened, which Erika reveals a few days ago, meaning she was at Garcelle's with the women, and didn't tell them then. In her confessional, Kyle expresses that when Erika chooses to withhold major information only to reveal it later on, or not at all, it makes it hard to support her. Erika further confuses Kyle by saying that the police called her at 3 in the morning, but she didn't get the call until 6. Tom had to go to the hospital and had some surgery probably due to his pre-existing glaucoma being exasperated by the stress of the home invasion. And their son had to go over, because she can't see Tom, and he rolled his car 5 times because it was snowing. (What?!) In her confessional, Detective Richards asks a litany of questions, and concludes that this story is unbelievable, but she still believes Erika. Erika adds that her son lives further out from Pasadena, where there is snow.
Garcelle's dating coach Damona is back! They go over Garcelle's Bumble profile. Damona zooms with Bonnie, a matchmaker, to set up Garcelle with a 49-year old kickboxer. Garcelle jokes Dorit can make her wedding dress.
Kyle goes over to Crystal Minkoff's house to talk about renovating her basement. Crystal tries to justify a $500,000 high-end game room addition as being frugal. To her credit, she did bring the price down from $1-million. Kyle brings up the conversation they had at Garcelle's house after the other women left. Crystal defends Garcelle not getting over her previous beef with Kyle by citing that Garcelle feels on the outside of the group and probably doesn't trust Kyle enough to go deeper to get past anything.
Kyle and Mauricio are having a double date dinner at Kyle's house with Dorit and PK. Kyle tells Dorit the story about Tom's home invasion. Dorit finds it hard to believe as well. PK asks for mayonnaise with his salmon. Kyle is disgusted. Dorit repeats the story to PK and Mauricio. PK and Mauricio are not buying it. Mauricio also did not know the real story of Tom's accident. PK thinks Erika is lying, but is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt by saying that it's still a symptom of being a in a controlling marriage. Mauricio says, "There's lies all over the place." Dorit believes there is no reason not to believe her. (My favorite PK moment of all time occurs:) Dorit starts to rephrase the story to make sense and PK becomes hysterical, mocking the decision that as his wife, Erika would refuse to allow the doctor to operate on his brain, but to instead focus on the ankle. "He's not a soccer player. He's a 79-year old lawyer."
Kyle facetimes Crystal to find out what she's wearing to Dorit's party. Rinna tells her glam team Harry Hamlin will stop by the party as a surprise. PK jokes that their party is feeling like their own wedding. Erika facetimes Kyle on the way to the party and they're both in a red lip, with Kyle giving villain vibes. Sutton is on her way with her boyfriend Michael. PK has a wine stain on his white jacket. Sutton and Erika have awkward niceness. Kathy brings her architect Jesse as her plus one.
During the presentation, Dorit's daughter Phoenix makes a grand entrance as the flower girl. Rinna makes a dig that this line of clothes is classier than Dorit's last line. Kyle comments that any one of the dresses is more expensive than her entire wedding. Harry Hamlin arrives. He tells Erika, life is full of vicissitudes. Which sounds like something comforting but isn't really. Kathy thought the Bernie Sanders meme was an elf on a shelf or a new Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken Fame. PK says he lost $2-billion in his real estate ventures. Kyle puts Garcelle out on the spot for an interview she did with Mario Lopez. She told him the women are coming after her. Dorit and Garcelle get back into their fight. Once again, Rinna doesn't stand up for Garcelle because it goes against her truth-bearer principles. Harry Hamlin says he will join the women, but PK advises him against it while they're mid-fight. Dorit and Kyle tell Garcelle that to placate their disagreement, Garcelle just needs to tell Dorit to stop talking. The episode ends and the preview for next week promises more fights at dinner.
