Teddi Mellencamp may be an accountability coach, but Erika Jane is going to teach her how to gamble responsibly. Never gamble more than you are willing to lose, she counsels her, before she and Dorit start “small” with $5000 in chips each. Aboard the High Roller Ferris wheel, Kyle and Dorit both corner Lisa Rinna hoping to get an apology out of her.

Kyle first tells Rinna that she ran into Harry hiking the day after Kim once again made Kyle want to disappear at a reunion, this time by returning the stuffed bunny Rinna had sent to Kim’s grandchild. It was an awkward meeting.

“I’m sorry you went through that”, Lisa bleated dutifully. Dorit wants Rinna to apologize for asking “Were people doing coke in your bathroom?” without having to apologize for calling Rinna a pill popper. She succeeds, because the Ferris wheel ride is almost over and Rinna just wants to escape.

The first evening’s dinner is barely underway when Adrienne Maloof, noticing that Brandi and Kim get teary during a tête-à-tête about combining pills and booze, tucks her bedazzled weave behind one ear and sneers, “Oh no, someone’s crying” to which Brandi retorts, “Shut the f&@k up.”

Kyle Richards, star of Halloween, has made the most of a multi-season arc in which one of her main character traits is “nervous flier.” For this flight to Hawaii, she really brought it, clutching a copy of Zohar. Perfection. Nothing is more Beverly Hills than boarding a private plane with a Kabbalistic text as your comfort item.
