"Maurico's Friend's" House

Punta Mita, Mexico
Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills

10-11
The proxy war between Lisa’s Rinna and Vanderpump continues. Did Lisa Rinna tell Eden that Kim is not sober, and in fact is near death, and that Kyle is her enabler? Yes. She explicitly said all that, and the editors have the clips to prove it. Rinna is flying in the next day, so Vanderpump has time to set her trap.

She is positively giddy as she fills Kyle in over margaritas in front of the ocean. As the group eat wild-caught tuna in an open-air dining room, they comb through the evidence: Lisa told Kyle that Eden told her that the other Lisa said Kim is near death. Case closed.

Kyle confronts Rinna at The Agency’s grand opening party and Rinna gives one of the worst performances of her Housewife career. “Did I say that?” she muses, stalling for time, “I can’t remember.” It’s so painful that Kyle actually lets it drop and Eileen swoops in to rescue Rinna by declaring that she has Montezuma’s Revenge and must return to the house.
