Bravo casting, in their infinite wisdom, knew that what Beverly Hills needed was a couple of cooky aunts, in the form of Sutton Stracke and Kathy Hilton. Kathy arrives with her own fan, for white noise, and an inability to plug it into a wall. She roasts Kyle’s salmon recipe so savagely that Kyle gets nervous and burns dinner.

At dinner, she decides to pull a “prank” and order water in martini glasses for her and Dorit, so that they can pretend they are throwing them back at an alarming speed. Dorit texts everyone else under the table to let them know to order water too. Which turns the prank on Kathy, maybe?

Anyway, everyone is hydrated and Sutton feels left out? Race finally rears its ugly head, with Crystal asking Sutton if she is “that girl” who “doesn’t see color.”
