It’s Christmas in the Berkshires, but there is another, even more important birthday: that of Dorinda Medley. The lady of the house can’t wait to treat all her friends to a relaxing sleepover. Luann takes notice of Bethenny’s chic new bob by joking that she is copying her style, and that was her fatal mistake.

Bethenny unleashes a torrent of recriminations, calling Luann a whore, because she sleeps with “everyone”, and a thief of stolen valor because she intimated that she might have had something to do with the name Skinnygirl. Carole is keen to get in on this cherished Yuletide tradition of yelling at Luann as well, and Ramona pipes up that Luann has recently stolen her man (yes, this is about Tom).

And all this is how Luann ends up in the kitchen, allowing Ramona to coach her through sending a series of apology texts such as “I’m sorry I called you a pedafile. I hope you’ll come to my next party.” But it’s Dorinda who finally loses it, screaming “I cooked. I decorated. I made it nice!”

Satchels of gold, satchels of gold. Bethenny Frankel, the first truly famous Housewife, was ascendent this season, her feud with ex-friend Jill Zarin and her pregnancy belly both burgeoning. You might even say that she was “up here” and Kelly Bensimon was “down here.” And thus the scene was set for Scary Island.
