The old "we're just friends" story. Sure Alexis. Hope this doesn't cause Shannon to spiral.

I think there are other agents we don't see on camera, because Nicole wasn't shown in the first several seasons and I think she's been there 10 years or so.

Could be. I was thinking the same thing.

This story implies that Craig and Shep think Kathryn was driving the car. They are supportive but Craig says "We hope she works her stuff out." Second link says police report identified Kathern as the suspect. "White female with blonde hair."

I've seen it done many times on TV and in movies. To me, it's a trope and it weakened this episode. I haven't been a fan of the casting of Dominick West. He doesn't embody Charles the way some of the other actors do their characters. However, he was superb in this episode, especially in the scene where he views Diana's body. He had little to work with as it was a mostly a tight shot of his face. His expression said it all. He brought me to tears. Bravo!

I've seen a few more stories about John and Alexis. Shannon must be furious.

Yeah she was kind of dismissive about it. I didn't like the watch. It's too big for my taste. I like more delicate jewelry. I don't think Alexia and Todd are going to last very long. There is tension between them. He's a jerk but I feel for him being married to her. She's horrible. I know she has probably spent a lot of money on cosmetic surgery, but I find Larsa one of the least attractive housewives across the franchise. IMO, she looked much better in the flashbacks of several years ago. I wonder if Jody is a rebound relationship with Lisa. They seem friendly but not really romantic with each other. I'm not seeing much chemistry.

I still like Maddie but she is dour this season. Given that she was buried alive, I'm chalking it up to PTSD. I didn't understand why she answered Harry's phone or was so flippant about breaking up with her boyfriend ("He doesn't know it yet.") I'm reading one of the books now. Maddie is 16 in it and Bosch is still a detective. I picture TW as Bosch while I'm reading, which adds a lot. I don't remember the Renee Ballard character, but I haven't read all the books. I think Mimi Rogers could still cover her gray but go lighter brown and it would be more flattering and natural-looking. I like that she doesn't have frozen Botox face.

Emma is definitely second fiddle to Chrishelle on this show. Anyone else noticed when they didn't show up to the dinner party, Jason asked where Chrishelle was, not Emma? And Amanza made a big show of calling Chrishelle. Emma was only referenced when others asked where "they" were. I liked Chrishelle better in the early seasons when she was nicer. I'm getting mean girl vibes from her now along with her minion Emma. Speaking of Emma, her hair is fake-looking to me but she has a beautiful figure. She is tall and slim and well proportioned. Overall though I think Chrishelle is the prettiest. I wouldn't want to be close friends with my boyfriend's ex, so I'm not feeling Marie-Lou on this issue. Seems made-up for a storyline. Jason is weirdly close to his ex-girlfriends, probably because some of them are in the same freaking office with him! Creepy! Ok, I looked it up. There is a much bigger age gap between Jason and Marie-Lou than Chrishelle and G. Here are the numbers; Jason 46, Marie-Lou 25; Chrishelle 42, G 30. I stand corrected.

Denise was on Bethenny Frankel's show. I didn't watch the whole thing but I did watch the parts about when she was on RHBH. It sounds like Denise is open to returning to the show now that Lisa Rinna is gone. She said she is friends with Garcelle and Sutton. She also said she will never be friends again with Lisa Rinna. She looked good, better than on the episode we just saw. Her face looked like it had less filler. Interestingly, Bethenny asked her about everything I expected but skirted around the Brandi rumor.

But not very well. I felt for her mother. Yep. Erika's mom has her number. Had Sutton had a few drinks? Probably. But Kyle came over to Sutton's home and was rude. I am team Sutton all the way. I thought Kyle looked rough in the scene where she was doing her make-up. I guess lighting and filters help a lot, because I noticed the difference in that scene. She didn't look her best. My guess is she had too much filler. I'm still glad to see her back. I wish she was a full cast member! Erika was not even sheepish when Jax came over to her, instead of Erika being the adult and apologizing to him for what she said a year ago. The woman is a narcissist. She has no empathy or awareness of how her behavior affects other people. Looks like next week we get to see Morgan's Kyle "stalked me" comment.

Chrishelle seemed drunk in the "get to the point" bit. She was slurring her words a little. Bree strikes me of a blonde version of Christina, the villain from a few seasons ago. I don't get all the references about the age difference between Jason and his girlfriend. Isn't Chrishelle also quite a bit older than G? Seems like she'd feel hypocritical talking about Jason and Marie-Lou. I also loved the smaller house Chrishelle showed to the comedian. I wish we saw more homes like this rather than all the modern boxes that look like businesses from the outside.

Yes. That was my take. He hid from Diana that he had hung up the phone. But she still figured out he wasn't saying all that to his father. I think she knew how codependent Dodi was that he couldn't take a stand that easily.

I thought so too, thus his vague answer. I have no idea who he picks. I thought Theresa would've been gone before Faith, so it shows how much I know. It seems like he's more into Leslie but it could just be editing. If I had to pick I'd give a slight edge to Theresa.

This was true. The driver was drunk. His alcohol level was .22. The show did a good job of explaining how it happened as he thought he was off for the evening. I wish he would've said no when he was told he was needed anyway. I'm glad they didn't show the car crash. It would've been too much for me. It was hard enough watching this. I also wondered why they didn't have tinted windows on the cars. It was stressful watching Diana go anywhere the way she was hounded. I don't know if it was this bad or creative license (would they really pound on the windows?) but the show was well-directed. I felt the tension. ED was great in the scene with Dodi on the phone with his father. I could tell by her expression that she knew he wasn't really talking to him. It was subtle but telling. She has grown on me in this role. At first I wondered why they needed two actresses playing Diana, but now I see it. Diana's appearance changed a lot in 10-15 years. Her face became more angular, and she lost that shy, girlish expression. She became more sophisticated. Even if they had aged her, I don't know if Emma Corrin could've played her at this life stage as well as ED.

Yep the Michael story was so ridiculous that Ashley looked like a fool even telling it. I was frustrated watching Juan lie to Robyn and Robyn yet again pretend everything is fine. I want to shake her. Bravo!

Some of the women were dancing around this the last time Teddi was on the show. They didn't come right out and say it but they implied Kyle and Teddi were "very close" in a different way. I can't remember the specific comments. I grew up this way with my mother and two sisters. It does create issues, mostly around trusting other people, especially women.

I have heard that Ozempic can decrease desire for alcohol. My sister-in-law is on it. She and her husband were heavy drinkers and have gone to almost zero alcohol. I've heard others say you don't crave sweets or alcohol. I was on a YouTube board about it one day and a lot of people were saying this. I don't know if this is the case with Kyle. Maybe she doesn't want the calories from alcohol, so she stopped drinking as part of her fitness regime. I think she's sad over the breakdown of her relationship with Mauricio. She's been with him a long time.

I do think Kyle is a Mean Girl. She brings back bad memories of my school years. I had to deal with girls like her.

It bothers me too, especially because we've seen Erika and Kyle get "unhinged" numerous times. Do they have short-term memory issues? Kyle was a basket case last season, which is probably why she quit drinking. She watched the footage and wasn't happy with how she acted. And in previous seasons she's gotten emotional or volatile numerous times. Don't even get me started on Erika's behavior, which is probably worse than Kyle's as Erika gets vicious.

I'm sure she'll be fine but I think her mother was pointing out that she wouldn't necessarily get half of all the millions.

I read somewhere the doctor was the one she really loved, and she was devastated when he broke up with her. Watching the scenes with Dodi reminded me of how short their relationship was, more of a fling than a big romance. The actor playing Dodi is good. ED has really captured Diana's speech and mannerisms. The actors playing the boys were well cast, at least in appearance. I don't like Charles but I felt for him in the scene with the Queen and the dogs. Dodi didn't treat his fiancee very well, did he? Re the question upthread about the duration of Diana and Dodi's relationship, according to article I read it was just about a month. Not sure if I'm allowed to link it here so I won't.

I couldn't believe Larsa's tone and questions. It sounded like she was interrogating Guerdy. They aren't married, and Nicole's mother reminded her that in Florida if they split up, Nicole isn't entitled to anything. I like Lisa but she was hard to watch this episode. I felt for her kids eating the pizza alone, and then when Lisa joined them she was snippy with them. She needs to stop talking so much about Lenny. Jody is going to tire of it if he hasn't already. I don't like Alexia or her husband. I guess they are made for each other.

I couldn't believe it when Heather asked Mary if she really thought that and she replied, "Yes, I did." Mary is so mean. I was so distracted by Angie and Lisa's dueling top lips in their scene. Angie's is bigger but Lisa's look like it's almost touching her nose. Ladies, easy off the filler. To me Meredith sounds drunk or on benzos or some other kind of downer. Yep. At least Olivia has the excuse of being only 24, so perhaps she's clueless.

Yes I meant Jordan.
