Dorit Gets Snubbed by Erika, Kyle and Sutton as They Skip Her Book Party, Boz Gets a Surprise Engagement From Keely, and Rachel is Upset Over Post by Ex

2

Things for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have not been going great and some could argue that Dorit is the focus of it all.  She is currently not getting along with Amanda, Erika, or Kyle so there’s that…Can Rachel‘s birthday party bring them together or will Kyle’s “minions” continue to poke at Dorit? Bozoma’s gets the surprise of a lifetime, but when Dorit hosts a book cover launch event, these three women choose to skip based on the current status of their “friendship…” 

As Rachel’s Studio 54 birthday party continues, it’s evident they are all either going to make up or explode.  Dorit is sick of the lack of support she feels from Kyle and her army of soldiers. Dorit suspects shortly they will be wearing matching uniforms to pledge their allegiance to Kyle. 

Kyle explains that she has argued with Dorit, but the other night was truly the worst.  Kyle believes that Dorit is on a “path to destruction,” but she feels sad about Dorit’s behavior, especially about the way she treated Erika. 

Erika shares with Boz that she is going to take some space from Dorit so she can assess their relationship. When Dorit makes her way over to where they are sitting, Erika waves over the rest of the group as if things are not awkward enough. 

Dorit believes that she needs a conversation with Kyle, but because of her intense week (her home-schooled kids are in school-school now) she would rather wait until her head is in the right place. Dorit refuses to apologize to Kyle or follow any of Sutton‘s directives on how to approach Kyle.  Now, according to Dorit, Sutton’s “desperate approval of getting Kyle’s approval” has forced the demise of their friendship. And so, she walks away from Sutton.

Sutton, however, realizes that Dorit is pulling some mean girl behavior. Just because she doesn’t like what Sutton says, does not give her a pass to act nasty. According to Sutton, Dorit shut her down and has now pushed her to want to leave the party.  Dorit’s condescending attitude has really shaken Sutton.

Sutton reminds Kyle that she too has emotions and things are going on in her life, too.  Sutton is now seriously alone since her youngest went off to college and she has been doing a great job holding it together… up until now.  Perhaps Dorit should pay attention and realize they can all help each other, after all, the world does not revolve around Dorit. 

After a pep talk from Kathy, Sutton pulls Dorit away (after Dorit calls it annoying) and lets Dorit know her feelings are hurt. Sutton points out that as soon as Rachel sat down it’s like she didn’t exist.  Sutton is not sure Dorit’s apology is legit and naturally, when felt backed into a corner, Dorit once again evacuates and runs off.

Rachel invites all the virgos up to blow out the candles on her cake.  For a lady that hates her birthday, Rachel sure likes to celebrate it. She talks about how liberated she feels this birthday and when Jennifer jumps into the pool, you know it’s a good party.

Sutton FaceTimes her momma, Reba, and she fills her in on Italy. She explains how much Dorit’s behavior has changed and Reba talks about how emotional Dorit must be considering her situation. Sutton points out that she has been in Dorit’s corner, but Reba continues to stick up for Dorit.

Dorit asks her mom if it would be okay to skip Dorit’s book cover launch party considering she has not even gotten a chance to get the quiet place of her newly empty house.  She wants to process this new chapter that’s starting because she is not sure what this new life will feel like. If not for her business, Sutton feels like she would feel so lost, but understands that now it’s time for her to take in the beautiful view she worked so hard on creating.

Erika and Rachel debrief about the birthday party. Erika reminds Rachel that she’s a good friend, even to Dorit. Erika points out that the first thing most people think about when a separation occurs is money, but Rachel states she doesn’t need to because she has always had financial independence (take notes, ladies!).

Erika thinks Dorit’s perpetual lateness stems from fear over legal issues and financial issues.  According to Erika, PK knows all the tactics to have Dorit “whipped into a frenzy.” Erika is not sure if she will attend Dorit’s book party, but realizes that she cannot simply be a no-show for the event.

Boz and her daughter head out for a mommy/daughter date…except it’s not that at all…instead, it’s a surprise engagement!  On the other side of the door stands Keely, ready to pop the question. He explains that he can’t wait to do forever with Boz and he gets down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage.  Boz feels blessed to get this moment again, especially after losing her first husband. She is thrilled to feel this happy all over again with Keely. She has so much wonderful to look forward to!

The big day is coming and soon enough Kyle’s daughter, Alexia, will be someone’s wife. Kyle talks to her assistant about Dorit’s event and decides that she will simply text Dorit to decline.  Over ten years, Kyle believes that she has stood up for Dorit, but nothing Kyle is doing seems to be saving this friendship.

Although Amanda does not feel obligated to attend Dorit’s book cover party, considering Dorit has been horrible to her, she wants to support women and in the end, decides to attend.

Sutton lets Boz know she will not be attending Dorit’s event because she wants to avoid being a part of the problem. Sutton does not want to find herself in a reactive position and so she chooses to step away.  Boz doesn’t think this is a good look for Sutton, but there’s no changing her mind.

The book cover reveal party is making Dorit feel excited for her future.  She lets Rachel know she is hanging on by a thread, but when Rachel says she is on fire, we learn about her ex’s latest social media post.  His new girlfriend’s birthday is a few days after Rachel’s and he posted, “happy birthday to my love.”  Rachel gags that he is doing this for the “virgo wannabe stylist,” and Dorit realizes that attention hungry PK would likely do the same thing to her.

Three ladies of the group are not coming to the event for certain: Kyle (because she is “tired and overwhelmed”), Sutton (because she “thinks it’s best”), and Natalie. Dorit is not surprised by any of this considering the only thing consistent about Sutton is her inconsistency. But when Erika leaves Dorit in limbo about her attendance, we all know Dorit’s going to be in limbo…especially when she finds out that Erika is currently hanging at Sutton’s house.  To be continued…

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RHOBH EPISODE?
