S15.E02: You Can Run but You Can't Ride

[ZettaK]

Erin and Sai pick up the pieces after Brynn's party; Erin opens up about issues in her marriage and Jenna bonds with her son; while Ubah struggles to let her guard down, the ladies take off for their girls' trip to the Hamptons.

First aired on 10/8/2024.

[bosawks]

I just don’t see what Erin said on the radio that bad.  It feels like Brynn is just using it, which I’d be fine with if it was more entertaining.

But now that Brynn basically called her a “Bridge and Tunnel” the gloves are off.

I feel like the ratio to text conversations shown and actually conversations shown is about 50/50.

I was waiting for the live transcription of the text (or whatever) Brynn was typing when Erin arrived at her apartment. Only 50% disappointment that didn't happen...

[politichick]

Brynn gives me the ick. Her attitude before and immediately after Erin arrived was awful. And she's not nearly as appealing as she imagines herself to be; the coquette spiel is infantile. 

Not an Erin fan, but sorry about her mum's cancer and her father also just died. I do like the shorter hair.

Love the color of Jenna's new car! Also thought she handled her conversation with Sai well and gave her some good advice.

[bosawks]

I’m really disappointed that it’s not going to be Brynn and Jeff Lewis on Watch What Happens Live…

[sundaytunes]

Jenna handled that talk with sai pretty well, gotta give her credit.

[snarts]

Did Brynn actually listen to the interview? Erin disagreed with Jeff. More importantly, if you don't want people to think you have a sugar daddy, stop talking about poking holes in rich men's condoms. 

Also, if your friend who you claim is like sister is on your couch in tears because she lost her father, her mother has cancer, and something went down with her husband YOU CONSOLE HER. Brynn is a brat.

Ubah & her chipmunk filler cheeks are all I can see now, thanks.

[bosawks]

Soooo, Abe sold their Bitcoin, that’s it, that’s the scandal.

Good god they are boring.

He made other financial decisions without telling her. I'd be pissed, too.

[JAYJAY1979]

Regarding Erin/Abe:  He made a financial decision without talking to her so I understand her being upset.. however, if the shoe was on the other foot.. would she understand if Abe was upset with her for making a financial decision without talking to him first?   My instincts say she would find a way to justify not telling him.  Double standards and all

Brynn:  Honey... this beef with Erin is not the hill you want to die on especially since she didn't even say that she thinks you have a sugar daddy.   This is the one time Erin didn't talk bad about someone.

Ubah:  Why is she a castmate?  Is it because she's Chanal's cousin?

Sai is trying so hard to make it seem like she changed but I don’t think she has at all. She just seems to be trying to blame anyone for her bitchy behaviour.

There’s gotta be even more to the Erin Abe financial drama. What they are saying he did isn’t good but he must’ve been making pretty shady money moves.

No thanks to the Scientologist.

Ubah is still annoying me.

Will any of them actually say anything against Scientology.

I honestly don't think Erin would make such decisions without consulting her husband.

Brynn is awful and a liar, because it is so clear that what she's accusing Erin of is not true. WTF is wrong with her?

[hoodooznoodooz]

I gave you tap water.

That’s what that was?!?

Abe and Erin’s marriage is not going to last.

You had to love Abe alluding to it almost being Erin’s fault due to his lingering insecurities from when they were first dating.

That was some VPR level jackassness.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Jessel’s flowy teal outfit is ugly. What a surprise.

[EtheltoTillie]

I went to the same wig store when I had chemo years ago. They specialize in cancer patients

[dancingdreamer]

I don't  mind Erin, she's  prickly, but there's  something  about her I like. 

Brynn is ridiculous,  I couldn't  be bothered  with someone like her, she's definitely  bratty. 

I thought  Jenna was going to be good at rock climbing,  she has lovely  long legs, however  she's afraid  of heights. Her son seems cool.

I don't  care about scientology,  anymore  than when I was being  introduced  to the mormon religion. 

I was expecting  more from this episode. 

[Chatty Cake]

Off to a boring start. 
Brynn’s attitude when Erin arrived was pure shit. She’s a shitty person and I don’t think she’s nearly as charming as she thinks she is.  
I feel like Erin and Abe cooked up their marital issues. It makes perfect sense for Erin to be very mad that he made financial decisions without talking to her. Despite this, it feels phony when watching them. Erin seems to be forcing herself to cry and Abe’s speech about  their beginnings sounded rehearsed. 

Hopefully next weeks get together is more entertaining than this episode.

I don't know why she is with him. She is far more attractive than him, and he makes financial decisions about their COMMON money behind her back, but justifies it by saying he is terrified of her wrath (he doesn’t wonder why she would feel like this?), which means he most probably disregards her in other matters. I only hope he doesn't cheat on her.

ETA: About the Bitcoin: he sold it at a lower price years ago, and it went up since. She wanted to sell it and pay a large chunk of their mortgage. Who knows what he did with the money.

Ubah’s talking head look with the short blonde hair wig and white outfit is very odd.

Sai believes that Brynn is trying to prevent the others from bonding with anyone but her. What do you guys think of this theory?

Closed-captioning transcribed “belays” as “blaze.” And that is the extent of my rock climbing vocabulary. But Beckett’s climb did not seem particularly difficult. Unless those holds were the challenging aspect. 

[ZettaK]

Racquel about Paolo (the dog): he has put on some weight. Mel: this is a bad angle (she was holding the dog). You know that.

Also Mel (and the kids): the cookbooks are for display!

Brynn offering tap water to Erin, and hiding the new dog (Sugar) that Erin wanted to meet was childish behavior. The woman is almost 40.

Erin's shorter hair looks good.

Yeah, her odd response just made people like me want to google "new york housewife scientology" during the next boring ZOOM meeting so I don't fall asleep to see if there is something there.

Probably not her intent.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Paolo is sooooo cute!!! 

[Keywestclubkid]

Karma working real time with Erin trying to “blast” Jenna and her financial situation .. girl worry about your own money and life ..

[hoodooznoodooz]

Sigh. Jenna’s vintage car was so beautiful.

 

Her Bentley is a hybrid, so that makes me happy, but the body, like so many luxury car brands today, looks very generic.

I thought you would wait till you lose most of your hair so you can get a good fit, Erin's mother went in with a thick head of hair.

Also, Erin getting a long bob hair cut because her mother would be losing her hair was hardly the sacrifice she thought it was.  When my brother was going thru chemo and started to lose his hair, I cut mine short, about an inch long all over my head but just could not commit to shaving it completely. He thought I was nuts but we looked alike when his hair started to grow back.

[Baltimore Betty]

Truthfully, I fell asleep during the Erin goes to Bryn's apartment scene, I woke up to Erin berating her husband, (in public), about the bit coin money, etc...what does he do for a living?

I think I would have driving to MomTok, (IYKKYK) instead of going in the helicopter, not because of the fear of that mode of travel but because of the women I would be stuck with.

And Erin’s smirk during the whole convo about how rich she was before and flying around on private jets was so NOT convincing. She’s awful. And whatever she’s done to her face during the break is awful. Maybe it’s karma.

She barely got a haircut and then put in the extensions she wears in her interviews. Way to show support Erin! She just did it for the compliments IMO. 

[bosawks]

I did find Brynn trying to bait Erin by semi-ignoring her and scrolling on her phone amusing.

Wasted effort with someone like Erin who mostly notices and listens to herself.

That being said, Brynn must have loved high school since she is trying so hard to recreate it.

Was the elevator really broken or was that a conspiracy between Brynn and production to get Erin huffing up five flights?

Abe is sort of a loser.  He has not worked at a big law firm and he currently working at a small firm that has informal associations among practitioners in different fields.  I know some of the attorneys.  I don't know that he is attracting big clients for his trademark practice as he seems to claim.

Jessel likes looking at her own reflection the 17 seconds before the person she’s video-calling accepts the call.

I think Erin's father just died a couple of weeks ago (September 2024)--that's what was said on the episode of WWHL that followed this RHONY episode.

(Side note: I thought Erin looked VERY different in that WWHL episode, but could not pinpoint why.)

But, yes, agree that Brynn was bratty.

This. Brynn's whole brand is a Mae West imitation without the cleverness. She never misses an opportunity to throw out sexual innuendo. Even when Erin's fake crying in front of her she ends with, "want me to take care of Gabe for you?" Wink wink nudge nudge. Obviously, a joke, but you can't constantly throw that stuff out there and then be overly sensitive about people making assumptions about your lifestyle.  The whole argument was really stupid.

Erin's not telling the whole story about Gabe, but I honestly don't care. They both seem miserable with each other. 

Loved Jenna's enthusiasm about her new car. Oh, to be rich and afford such toys! 

Not even a little interested in Sai's 'be less of a raging bitch' journey. Are any of these self-improvement storylines interesting? NO.

Maybe he doesn’t want to work at a large firm.

If it was their Bitcoin, how was he able to sell it without her signature?

Yes.  I was referring to something else. Someone had said he had worked at a large firm but it appears not to be so.

I don’t think bitcoin operates that way.

I'm a big fan of self-awarenes. I appreciate those who reflect on their behavior & try to improve themselves. Too often, they think because the public was entertained, they were right & they double down on bad behavior. 

That said, it's not interesting & enjoyable to constantly hear about/have it be someone's only storyline. I like Sai & her feistiness. We need someone to cut through all the BS do I hope she doesn't become too fixated on being zen/nice.

The ability to buy, sell and transfer bitcoins without normal safeguards is precisely why it is used for money laundering and other nefarious financial transactions. 

But I got the sense that Abe had to liquidate assets in order to cover what their living expenses are. And as others have mentioned, the recent suicide of Brandon Miller immediately came to mind as an instagram perfect socialite couple living wildly behind their means.
