SEASON 3 EPISODE 8 “LET’S SEE THAT RING” 

Previously on… 

Fight at Jill’s kodak event; Ramona tells Jill she has no brain 

Bethenny and Jason are planning on moving in, and she’s pregnant. Kind of weird that they left that out of this preview… 

ACT ONE

Jill has a vet over at her house to look at her crazy dog. Her dog wasn’t feeling well or eating properly. 

What’s interesting about dogs is they often take on personalities of their owners. So Ginger being full of anxiety, nipping at everyone… Jill poops on the rug, she’s horrified, she goes into a full panic and then her friend comes over. 

In such a typical Jill moment, the doctor gets poop on his show so she goes to clean it, and she says ‘thank god he has plastic shoes or whatever they are, i hope these aren’t nice shoes..’ Yeah Jill, this vet is really walking around in plastic shoes. 

Of course, Ginger is fine and it was a false alarm. 

BETHENNY AT ALEX’S HOUSE

Bethenny tells us she likes being friends with Alex because it’s low maintenance. Then she tells Alex she’s engaged. 

Alex is of course SALIVATING when Bethenny says, “I haven’t told anyone, only you.” Alex goes: i wont’ tell simon if you dont want me to. Uhh yeah Alex, I’m sure Bethenny really cares whether or not simon knows she’s engaged. 

SONJA AND RAMONA AT DINNER

Sonja wanders in and walks right past Ramona. Ramona is ‘on a call’ which I don’t buy for a minute… Ramona says she and Sonja used to be close and ‘sort of lost a little touch.’ So now they’re having lunch. It’s so crazy to me that they rekindled their friendship on the show! 

Ramona remembers when they first met. They were in southhampton at a mutual friend’s house swimming in the pool, and Sonja says wow you have such an incredible body, and then you couldn’t believe it when I told you how old I was. REALLY RAMONA?! That’s the part of the story you’re telling?! 

Sonja asks how Mario is. Ramona says, “it’s going to be 17 years.” and sonja goes, lovingly, “Child bride….” It was so old fashioned, which is what we love about Sonja. 

Sonja asks for the rundown about the kodak party. Now, honestly Sonja’s entrance into this season could not have come at a better time. After that Kodak party, Luann, Jill, Kelly are all against Ramona. Bethenny is still stinging from the bridge walk, and Alex and Ramona have never been super tight. 

Sonja talks about her history with Kelly… she says she would see Kelly out in the past and they would say hi but the night before she barely remembered her. Sonja says then she told Kelly she’s been out with max, but then kelly denied that she herself had ever dated him. Sonja says that shes seen them out before so she doesn’t believe her. 

ACT TWO

Kelly is making breakfast with her kids. One of the kids is only communicating by writing down her words. I don’t have patience for cutesiness on camera. 

They all make breakfast together and Kelly burns pancakes and the spatula. This is honestly like three sisters hanging out. I will say Kelly’s bites are much more innocent and humorous when they’re about her kids. 

RAMONA ASKS AVERY TO BE HER MAID OF HONOR

Avery is going through such a phase in this scene. She is so irritated to be on camera. 

So Ramona tells Avery that she wants to renew her vows because they’ve been married for 17 years. Avery correctly points out that shouldn’t they wait til 20 years? 17 is such a random number. 

Ramona talks about her bullshit renewal process. 

Ramona asks Avery to be her maid of honor. Avery asks, what am I supposed to do if I decide to be your maid of honor?? Ramona rattles off a list. Avery is not impressed but ultimately agrees. Ramona has a bite about how Avery is becoming a woman. I think it’s because Avery is over Ramona’s bullshit and talks back to her. 

ACT THREE

Luann goes h ouse hunting and happens to see kelly across the street, and she joins them. For some reason I buy that they happened to run into each other. I go back and forth about this! It’s just so believable. 

As we know Luann is on the hunt for a new place in NYC after her divorce from the count. I’m dying to live in NYC but I think i would go crazy living in these tiny apartments. My friends who live in the city have beautiful apartments with lots of space, but I just feel like I wouldn’t have the same luck finding a place with space. And I’m a taurus, I love stuff…. I would live like a hoarder. 

Luann then looks at an apartment on Madison ave with TINY ass closets and the bedroom facing a brick wall and it’s $14k a month FOR GOD’S SAKE!! 

JILL HER SISTER AND HER MOM IN BED GOING THROUGH PICTURES

I dunno guys… it’s just them going through family pics. Not much to say here. 

DINNER WITH SONJA AND LUANN

We drop in mid conversation. Sonja: I may not have noticed that they lost weight some of these frineds of mine, but I noticed they are very short fused… I was like what are tehy talking about?? 

Then Kelly walks in and Sonja says “speaking of skinny are you on adderoll??” Oooh that’s what they’re talking about. Sonja says people who take it are short fused. Kelly jumps in and asks, “Like Ramona?” Wow beautiful transition Kelly!! 

They start talking about dating. Max comes up, Kelly says I mean MAx is nice but he’s not that nice. She won’t admit that she dated him, but we SAW how smitten she was with him! It’s just a defense because now we see how much he’s gotten around. 

Kelly says she wants to be married and have more babies. Uhhh I think we’re good with you having kids Kelly. Kelly: I love kids. Luann: because you are a kid!! 

Kelly says her perfect man is a renaissance man: a man who can drink beer, play pool, and go to the met. Luann laughs in her face… ok, i don’t think it’s THAT crazy. 

Sonja: I would like to marry a man who doesn’t cheat, wouldn’t that be nice? Kelly: your husband cheated on you? Sonja: did yours? ...woah where did this come from? Sonja has never admitted that her husband cheated on her. Sonja: “I didn’t say mine did, did i?” Luann: “I didn’t have that problem. Well… I don’t think I had that problem.” Didn’t her husband cheat on her? She talked about it on camera. 

ACT FOUR

Podbuster: ramona walks into work and tells everyone she’s in a testy mood. She says her assistants understand her ‘fast pacedness.’ Ramona flips out because she got the wrong shipment. It’s epic and I posted it on my instagram. 

Kelly hosting a party for Gotham Magazine with eligible bachelors. Kelly doesn’t want to be embarrassed. Enter Ramona and Mario! They haven’t seen each other since the no brain face off. 

Kelly tells Ramona, I was worried about you. That’s such a patronizing pivot, to say I was worried about YOU! They pretend everything is fine and take pictures together. 

Jill looks at Kelly’s dress. “I wonder if she paid less because it’s less fabric.” Why does Jill ALWAYS have to make a comment like that? I think she thinks she’s being clever but it sounds so nasty coming from her. 

EWWW Luann meets that guy court! Remember him?? He looks like he has no teeth. 

Mario and Luann speak italian! I kind of love it. 

This is the first time Bethenny and Jill will be seeing each other since that weird apology thing at Ramona’s house. 

Bethenny goes over to the section with everyone and Jill and Luann immediately left. Jill had no idea Bethenny was coming and she was not prepared. 

Bethenny tells Ramona they’re engaged. Ramona is so happy and yells Bethenny’s engaged, Bethenny’s engaged! 

In the other section, Kelly tells Jill and Luann that Bethenny is engaged. Kelly brings Jason over which is amazing. Jason goes “You’re not mad at me too are you?” to Jill. Jill says I’m not mad at anybody. This trio is SO awkward with him. 

Jill says she was numb, didn’t know what to do or say. 

Luann comes over to the section and congratulates Bethenny. Luann: I really am, truly happy for you!! You know that!! So why did you flip out on me like that?! I think she’s referring to the fashion show and callingn her a snake, maybe? This was so long ago. Bethenny caves and apologizes. What a shitty time for Luann to bring this up! Luann: with that, i’m going to a party with a hot young bachelor so ihave to go. I think it’s court. He’s so gross. 

Simon tries to bring Jill over to congratulate Bethenny, because of course he wants to be involved in the main drama. Jill then tells Bobby that if she doesn’t say anything to Bethenny then she looks bad. Bethenny and Jason go outside to get their car. 

ACT FIVE

Bethenny and Jill are waiting outside with Ramona and Mario, waiting for their car. Jill comes out, “Bethenny! You left before I could say, I wanted to get bobby before I came over. I was waiting for bobby, simon knows that. I’m sorry if you thought anything different.’ It’s just this rambling of apologies and its so awkward. Then she looks at Bethenny’s ring. Bethenny says this is making her realize she doesn’t want anything to do with Jill anymore. Because up until now bethenny had been holding out hope. 

Mid season tease… scary island!! Money can’t buy you class!! So much more left!
