The Real Housewives of New York are back! We open to Leah McSweeney calling on FaceTime all the women individually to invite them to Salem, Mass. Leah extends an invite to Bershan Shaw, Ramona singer's new "friend" to join the ladies on the trip.
Ramona is out to lunch with a clear face mask she borrowed from Hannibal Lecter. She meets Bershan and asks if she enjoyed the event (A Harlem Night with Eboni K. Williams). Both ladies think Eboni was giving a "hard sell". In her talking head, Bershan said she appreciated Eboni putting the effort in to share and educate the other women on their black culture.
Sonja Morgan and Eboni head down to Philly to meet Eboni’s matchmaker, Devyn. Eboni tells Sonja, Ramona tried to throw her under the bus when they talked about her Harlem event. Sonja orders a coffee alongside an order of clams. Devyn tells Sonja she has a lawyer in mind with a house in France for francophile Sonja.
Luann de Lesseps is packing for Salem and tells her assistant putting hats on the bed is bad luck. Ramona gives some packing exposition to dog Coco. Leah facetimes Sonja and Eboni on their way back from Philly.
The ladies get on a literal tour bus to head to Salem. On the ride, Lu buys vibrators with Sonja and Bershan. Everyone is wearing matching clear face masks. I hate them. They look like a clear visor the women are putting over their mouths. The women arrive at the Hawthorne Hotel, the staff put out anointed crystals in a circle on the floor and Leah asks if they should eat these. The women learn the hotel is haunted as the witch trials were held at the hotel.
The women get ready for the lace and latex dinner Leah has planned around her outfit, It is so weird seeing the women doing their own glam, except for Leah, who has her glam person in the blue hazmat suit, again. The women are having dinner in a tattoo parlor. Sonja runs into male twins who are trying to scare the women, but rather she hits on them. Eboni tells the women she can’t have fun with them until she figures out if they’re white supremicists or not. Lu is curious as to what would make her think that her and Ramona are white supremicists and Eboni implies that’s she’s not talking about Lu and therefore is referring more to Ramona. Leah tries to explain for Eboni what she thinks is going on with the group dynamics but once Ramona starts interrupting she gets into it with Ramona. Leah tells Ramona, she is what’s wrong in the world. It comes to a head when Eboni wants Ramona to defend her alleged support of Donald Trump. Ramona leaves the table only to return dancing around saying she wants to play a game. The women tell Ramona it’s not a cute look and they begin to yell at each other. Lu exits quickly probably to have a sneaky cigarette and Sonja follows her out. We are teased the fight continues in the next episode.
