I lost track the number of times I’ve driven off a cliff and laid in a ditch for 12 hours until someone drug me 20 feet up to safety. It happens. 

Ah, but did your spouse just assume the reason you didn't come home is you were out having an affair?

You got me there!

I hope at the reunion Andy asks her to clarify what she’s claiming actually happened. I’m sure someone will write in a question about it and they can stir up drama by bringing up Sutton’s confusion/disbelief.

Her story makes no sense. I love how she claims Tom had a head injury, broke his shoulder, smashed his ankle then broke his clavicle. So the clavicle wasn’t broken at the same time as his ankle and shoulder? 

[emma675]

I watched the episode and have read every post here going over the accident and I still have no idea what happened. I've got it narrowed down to Tom drove off a cliff while simultaneously was ejected from the car/fell out of the car while it was still in motion/had come to a stop, broke multiple bones and had a head injury but was still able to call Erika to come get him/laid in/crawled out of the car until he was found, he was unconscious for 12 hours in the car/bed at home, and despite multiple serious injuries he was able to continue working just fine/has suffered dementia. 

[Marley]

Stupid Lisa Rinna never gives up a chance to mention that loser Scott Disick.

Erika is lying so much. Get simpler lies lol.

I think you got it! Clear as mud.

I'm still unclear on this part:

So she found him, and saw him unconscious, but he then called her for help? After finding his broken down-the-cliff body, she then asked him where he was, because she assumed he was with someone else--was he with another woman during the 12 hours he was unconscious?

 

 

 

Agreed, @Marley she needs lies with fewer details

[emmawoodhouse]

I could have sworn there was an episode a few years ago when Tom was shown hobbling around on the broken ankle. I don't remember his arm in a sling, which it would be with a broken clavicle. I'm pretty sure they mentioned a car crash.

It wouldn't be that hard to dig up the video evidence.

She mentioned Tom having a broken ankle last season or the one before that. I think it was at the start of last season. They were catching up on what they have been up to and she mentioned the broken ankle and how hard it was for him to slow down or he wasn’t slowing down at all (paraphrasing… that’s the gist— can’t remember exact words) and the ladies sympathized how powerful men are terrible patients and poor Erika.

Here is Erika‘s story of the crash in her own words. Note I took out the talking heads and the other women’s questions and comments except for one instance where Erika’s statement made no sense without it. Bravo also edits these conversations and it’s possible it makes more sense if you hear the conversation in its entirety. 
 

“As a result of the crash his ankle was broken.”

“He was also unconscious for 12 hours.”

“I know cause I found him.”

”He had a head injury and he broke his shoulder. Snapped his ankle and then broke his clavicle.”

”He drove off a cliff.”

[One of the other women says, “That must’ve been so traumatic.”]

“Yep. Seeing your husband unconscious.”

”Well he wasn’t with the car. He was down the hill.”

“This road is an old road behind our house that is switched back….It goes like this. And it’s a steep hill like this. Somehow or another, this man who’s lived there for 30-plus years drives up behind the fucking house, takes a turn, but he ends up here and then tumbles out of the car.”

”I said ‘Where have you been?’. Cause I was just assuming he was with some other woman.”

Wait... how did she see her husband unconscious? I presumed he had woken up before he called her; but maybe he butt-dialed her when he drove-off/tumbled down the cliff??? 

Thanks for the transcript @glowbug

Maybe it’s Erika who is exhibiting early signs of dementia with her memory loss and confusing basic details. Or more like she is just lying and can’t remember who she told what to.

I wonder if she will even show up for the reunion? I can’t imagine her lawyers want her *clarifying* these stories further. She’s opted out of WWHL thus far this season, citing legal issues.* The more she talks, the worse it seems to get (see: this episode)!

ETA: It’s unclear whether Erika has actually cited “legal” reasons for not doing WWHL (I think that’s just the speculation). But she’s not doing any “press” (including WWHL) so I could see her opting out of the reunion…

Good point😃 Maybe she will want to go on to finally mention how bad she feels for the victims, now that social media has been ripping her apart for not doing so. Even self absorbed Dorit managed to mention widows and orphans being hurt. But, Erika is all "poor me, not enough room for my glam squad to be comfortable" .

Well, be careful if you're driving in Pasadena.

Apparently those switchback roads can be deadly 😉

[hoodooznoodooz]

No one offered to help Kyle put away groceries. At least put perishables in the refrigerator, guys. I am impressed someone bought a whole pineapple and not pre-sliced.

Interesting that only Crystal (and Kathy? Was Kathy actually “helping”?) tried to help Kyle get dinner on the table. My mom used to bring our family to dinner parties/gatherings. She’d tell her hosts, “My daughter will do the dishes.” She never ran this by me in advance. (Reminder: I’m the third-born daughter of Chinese immigrants.)

As another poster pointed out, how lovely that Erika continues drinking her beverage when Sutton shares that her father shot himself two days before Christmas. I didn’t think that this was possible, but I think Erika is as awful as Frankel/RHoNYC.

Lol about the dishes @hoodooznoodooz!    I can't decide if Crystal was helping Kyle or just wanted a reason not to be in the other conversation in the living room.  Either way, it was nice.  I was impressed that Kyle didn't seemed bothered in the least to be making dinner/putting away groceries/ etc. while her 'guests' were already there.  I would have (and have been) completely overwhelmed.

That’s a very good point: Kyle was extremely calm, considering. Even after dropping the bottles of spices/herbs. I’d be a babbling idiot. And that’s probably why I never entertain.

Both Kyle and Crystal appear to do a lot of cooking and are incredibly comfortable in the kitchen, so it is probably a natural dynamic. 
I am not a cook nor do I enjoy cooking, thank goodness for my husband. That being said, while I wouldn’t naturally gravitate to helping make a meal, I would step up to do other things to help make it happen. It’s what happens with me on girl trips.

No. Just no.

 

Reminds me of an old episode of Judge Judy I saw recently. An ex boyfriend wouldn't pay back an ex girlfriend.  Judy said "ok so you want me to believe that if you didn't pay her back:

1) it's because it was a "gift," not a loan. 

2) she caused you to lose your job, so she owes you the $$ anyway.

3) you were mugged before you could pay her back so no longer owe it. 

....so is the Erika Jayne defense. Just covering all the bases in one girls' dinner. Tom fell Off a cliff while possibly cheating on her & misappropriating funds? Ok. Sure.

Agreed. I also loved Kyle's house.

I think it's because she's a pro tbh. Kyle's probably one of the more domestic housewives. She reminds me of more traditional women. She got married young. She had a large family. She's Jewish and does a monthly Shabbat dinner. She has been homemaking for almost as many years as I've been alive. I can't relate to vast majority of this, but I find it so endearing. It makes her come across more down to earth and less superficial. I remember season 1 she had the best guess for what a gallon of milk costs. A lot of this cast seems like they'd starve if it weren't for chefs or Postmates. Kyle seems like she'd handle a normal person's budget better than the rest of them in general.

And he was unconscious for 12 hours! Then just woke up and called her, as if from a refreshing nap.

Maybe when Erika left HIM he only realized it when it was in the papers.  I mean perhaps she also was taking a refreshing nap with broken bones falling off a cliff!

I mean what was the convo like as she drug his mangled body up the cliff.  So sorry thought you were with the girlfriend?  Did he laugh it off and say OOOPS I should get a life alert?

I mean no convo about why you were not looking for me?  She said she never confronted him so lets add this to the list of Erika lies.  Come on Rinna - she needs to OWN IT

OK, maybe it's the armchair detective in me, but now I want to find out what movies Erica may have streamed before these events began to unfold!

Crystal was doing the bar tending, too! I can't imagine just sitting around, expecting to be served, instead of doing something to help. It's fun to chat while working together, in my experience.

I thought the dress was really cute, but I found it an odd choice for Crystal since it conveyed childlike and innocent tones, and nothing like Crystal herself.  Maybe she is trying to rehab her image some from the bad press she was getting?

Oh thanks! It's not showing up yet on my guide.

My conspiracy mind is saying Erika's lawyers are trying to force a re-edit because she's coming off awful, but then my logical mind kicks in and says that they're probably just stretching the season out a bit for whatever reason. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Well, poopers!

[Cosmocrush]

I thought it was because of the Olympics (isn't Bravo part of NBC?) but like @chenoa333 posted the Olympics didn't stop last night's RHONY.   Well, hubby will be happy it's not a "Housewives Night" so he can watch the big TV.  

[Jennifersdc]

I really just watched this episode. First time FF to Erika Jayne parts (the rest generally bore me). 

IMO Kathy Hilton is really funny. Just got what the candle thing was. Her serving that bread with dinner would have been hysterical if they left it there (they didn’t).

Love that big white fuzzy purse. I was impressed to see there is a noticeable stain in a bottom corner (see me - it’s rightfully well loved).

I have to give Erika Jayne credit. She likes to eat and doesn’t hide it (see me). Her plate was empty when they took it away. She must work her ass off to keep that figure which does not look like to me is naturally thin (see me - same age and I now have to go to gym everyday, watch what I eat with far less impressive results😒). I also assume Cool Sculpt is heavily involved.

Maybe she’ll get chunky. I kinda doubt it cause she needs to hook the next fish. I’m also thinking for the same reason she’ll try and keep all the facials, lasers, fillers to the last minute she can. She’s getting a little long in the tooth. Looks fabulous for 50 though now.

Let’s watch what happens…😜

Sorry - back again. Still watching.

I just realized Kyle introduced the “car accident” conversation that led to the whole Wylie Coyote/Road Runner thing about driving off a cliff (comments and clips are priceless BTW). 

Coincidence? You be the judge…
