Ramona gets stuck in the casa’s elevator. Luann tries to save Dorinda from getting belligerently drunk by telling her “you’re turning” and gets eviscerated by a very already turnt Dorinda.
The tempest turns literal when, returning from a private island, their boat is unable to haul up anchor and the screaming women, puking into their champagne buckets, are almost overtaken by an angry, choppy sea. Then, the food poisoning. As the suitcases are being carried out, Ramona leaves a review in the form of a smear of poo on the casa’s glass tile floor.
