All language subtitles for The.Real.Housewives.of.New.York.City.S13E08

Previously on The Real Housewives of New
York City.

Ramona was talking with me about how she
does not like the way I talk about sex.

But I don't subscribe to the fact that
to use those words mean you're unclassy.

Yeah, but it has nothing to do with
class. It has to do with education.

Well, no, that has nothing to do with
education either. I just tried to

it. No, I gotta clear this up. Uh -uh.
Why are you getting so angry? Oh, so now

I'm the angry black woman, Luann.

The term angry, when referencing a black
woman, it's got a long, stereotypical

history.

I'm really sorry that happened.

Lou, make yourself comfortable.

It's election night. We have to make it
fun. I mean, God knows, you know. Are

you coming to the party tomorrow?

Yeah. Unite in Harlem with yours truly,
Ebony K. Williams.

Ramona posted you on Instagram. She also
posted a picture of her new friend,

Bershon. Are y 'all telling me that
Ramona is posting pictures of black

her life to counter a narrative that
she's racist?

Of all my vices, being glamorous is one
I'll never give up.

I'm sex positive and BS negative.

I may say the wrong thing, but my
intentions are always right.

I've had to work twice as hard for half
as much, but now I'm coming for

everything.

Just like New York City, Sonia Morgan
never goes out of time.

All right, P, you ready?

Whenever you are, my dear.

Come on, baby. Let's go get our hair
done.

Ooh, do I have ponytail options?

You do. This won't work because this is
this wavy texture.

Yeah, but it's like a loose wave.

No, no, I want to do that.

No, but I'm excited about tonight. I'm
excited to, you know, bring these women

to Harlem. Some of them are coming for
the first time. Ramona says she's

bringing her friend, Breshawn.

I have this lovely girl. Her name is
Breshawn.

I've gotten really friendly with her,
and I bring her with me because I have

plans with her that night. I just talked
to the restaurant owner, and I said,

bring two extra place settings because
some of my friends might want a plus

I think you're going to really like each
other. Some of these ladies, they're in

their Upper East Side bubble.

Hope that they will think Harlem and the
people of Harlem and the culture of

Harlem is worth the slight inconvenience
of pushing outside of your little five

block radius.

That's what I hope.

You know, I've got this, which is very
Harlem nights.

I love the bell sleeve and it's also
very pandemic where uncomfortable.

I know Harlem just almost as a tourist.
I'm so lazy. I always stay in my own

neighborhood.

And if I can't walk there, you'd have to
drag me there or send a car service.

And Leah wears God knows what. So I
could show up in anything.

I could even wear this.

This thing is amazing.

Hi. Oh, hey. So I'm like, I've got like
dresses laid out for this Harlem Nights

thing. So what are you wearing? I'm
wearing...

You said you're wearing satin green.
It's so funny. I have a satin green

here, so I'm going to put that away.

You know, I used to go to Harlem quite a
bit. Jack and I were living on the

Upper West Side, so we weren't far from
Harlem, really. We used to go up there

all the time to Sylvia's and go dancing.
You know, I'm a fan. Oh, Jesus. I've

got long dresses, but they have very big
slits.

on the other side.

Yeah, that's easy. Yeah, because I have,
like, heels and shoes and things.

Hello, hello, hello, beautiful.

Hi. Oh.

You look very shimmery.

Oh, your pants kind of match my dress.
Yes, they do. Cool.

Look at you. You rocked it. Every time I
see you, you're in six -inch heels.

I met Breshawn through some mutual
friends during the summer. We started

out. She's a strong personality. I mean,
she's like... She's there, and she's

not afraid to make her opinion known,
which I like. You said you've never been

to Harlem.

Okay, so this is it, darling. Yeah, this
is it. So it took Ebony and you to

bring me here. Wow.

It's always the first time for
everything.

Usually New Yorkers, you just stay
within your region. Why didn't you go to

their housewarming party?

It's in Brooklyn.

Where do you think Brooklyn is? Ohio?

I don't live in Harlem, so I never go
down there.

Do you know the funniest thing you ever
told me? Oh, no, what? Put my foot in my

mouth again. You said, okay.

I love your lashes, but they're a little
too long for the daytime.

Oh, right.

I know.

I know.

That's because, you know, when I really
like someone. But that's when I really

realized I am with this girl.

I really did. I like you. With the
lashes, without the lashes, I just like

I love it.

So beautiful in here.

Adrienne, you did it. Flowers are so
perfect.

It's like we're transported in time. Of
course. This is beautiful, baby. Thank

you for realizing this vision.

So I'm coming off of a massive dose of
these women's world, right? Like

that weekend in the Hamptons at Ramona's
house, literally on her turf.

Now it's time for them to come to my
world. And there is no better place for

them to get into the epicenter of Black
culture and Black excellence.

Then Harlem, USA. And who is this lovely
gentleman?

Oh, this is Gil.

I'm Gil. Gil.

Gil. Oh, I heard the accent. You know,
tonight is a Harlem night with Ebony K.

Williams. Adrienne and me, we created
for you guys amazing cocktails.

Good. To make you feel Harlem. Go back a
little bit in time, you know? The

spirit and the elegance.

Prohibitionary. Hey, Nick!

You just snuck up in here. Hey, baby.
How are you?

Beautiful. This is gorgeous, huh? This
is one of the few actual real

still left in Harlem. It is.

It is true that you had to knock on this
at one point, right? At one point. The

password. Oh, my God. These look like a
death sentence.

Are you kidding me? Oh, my God.

I love a speakeasy. Always have.

Hi. Hey, gorgeous. Sorry to interrupt.

So this is my friend, Leah.

Hi, Leah. You're gorgeous.

Welcome. Oh, my God. Look at you. Thank
you, honey.

Oh, my gosh.

Okay.

Meet Handsome Gil, who's from Israel.

Are you kidding me? All right. Can we do
one more of these Harlem Spritz from

Miss Lou? What is in that?

Love and happiness.

Love and happiness.

Love and happiness? And no alcohol. And
no alcohol. Okay, good.

I'm not going to be able to get out of
here. I'm going to spend the night here.

No kidding.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Oh, this is delicious. Isn't this great?
Thank you. Miss Morgan's here.

Hey, baby.

Hi.

Look at you. You're wearing like a tiara
thing.

I see headlights.

I didn't realize Ebony even had those
headlights.

She's so lawyered up all the time. And
prim and proper, the fact she's taking

the girls out tonight means a lot.

I sound like a stoner. All right.

Let me see my girl, Lou, because I know
she's always going to dress.

Is there an elevator? Hold your heels,
girl.

Lordy. Is this Giovanni? Of course.
Okay, yeah. I got to go on my tiptoes.

Come on. Oh, here comes Singer.

No one warned me about the heel
situation.

Huh?

Oh, my God. I've heard so much about
you. I know. She's told me so much about

you. Yes.

Oh, my God.

Okay. I love this.

Thank you. You look amazing. Yes. I
mean, no sequence.

I know. I love it. Guys, this is
Ramona's from Breshawn. Oh, hi,

beautiful. Oh, I love this outfit. Oh,
thank you. I give hugs. How are you?

Good. Hi, beautiful. I heard so many
great things about you. From Ramona?

Yes. I mean, amazing stuff.

about Ramona and I is when we're with
other people, we do talk really well

each other and we stick up for each
other.

But that doesn't mean I haven't talked
better within our group. Okay, ladies, I

know some people are hungry, so we're
going to get our mythology class

We've got three choices to pick from for
cocktails.

Okay. Ebony step. I do like the Saint
Germain and the champagne.

You do? Yeah.

We'll start with the ebony stuff.

Okay, so we prepared you here.

It's a very cool gin. It's a
Mediterranean gin. I infused it with a

Asia that turns it into, it's like
floral, ladies. Ladies, I'm going to

you. Exactly.

I'm sorry.

We're messing up in class.

Well, cheers for bringing us here.
Cheers, thank you. Thank you, ladies.

We just had a long day, so I needed a
shot.

I think America's had a long day. Oh,
yes.

Yes. The elephant in the room is that
we're 24 hours after the election

and we really still don't know who our
next president is going to be. Does

somebody have a phone with them? Yeah, I
do. I want Gil to take a quick photo

before we go up, if that's okay. Watch
out. Ramona's going to whip that phone

out. I appreciate that.

Thank you, Gil.

Let's get here. I love that drink. I
don't know. This kind of bothers me that

it's white and black.

Coming up.

I'm feeling a little tired, so I may,
like, leave.

Is that vertigo again? How'd you know?

I know. Oh, my God.

You know me so well. It's scary.

What is vertigo? I'll show you. You're
going to show us your vertigo?

This kind of bothers me that it's white
and black.

Can we mix?

What difference does it make? But you
know what? She's right. We're trying to

have a night of cultural infusion.
That's the point.

So you know what? I'm going to go with
it.

It's very telling that Ramona even is
noticing this, you know, and is all

of a sudden the anti -segregation police
making strides. And can you be kind

enough to do up and down stuff better
for Instagram?

Up and down. We go up and down.

Maybe Sonia Morgan was on to something.
Maybe with Ramona it is all about the

gram.

I can

see Ramona's on her best behavior when
she's like

this.

So this is the owner, Adrian.

Adrian, this place is so beautiful.

I'm a virgin to Harlem because I don't
think you call Rayos really Harlem.

So it's my first time. And what's your
first name?

Fatima. Fatima? Fatima. With an F. Yeah,
Fatima.

Rayos is like East Harlem. It's an
Italian restaurant. Baby, I'm bringing

Harlem. Harlem, Harlem. Okay, ladies,
this is a Harlem night with Ebony K.

Williams. Let's go. Let's be seated. She
loves her name. I know.

Ramona's here.

Sonia. Sonia Tremont Morgan.

Lou.

Fabulous, Ebony. Thank you, Ms. Bershon.

Oh, this is gorgeous. So pretty.

Welcome to Harlem. We're going to start
with my favorite thing.

Natalie knows this. My love language is
gift.

So I'm going to present each of you with
a gift. Leah, my dear.

Thank you. And you can open this right
now.

I love this.

Oh, my God. A candle? I love candles.

Essence of Roses and Sandalwood inspired
by James Baldwin.

I'm obviously very deeply indebted and
in love with Harlem culture, but I'm,

know, going to give grace to the fact
that these women might not be as

I'm giving Lou Savoy.

Ooh. Stomping at the Savoy because our
countess went in the cabaret.

So I give every woman a particular
individual candle from Harlan Candle

Amazing. With her infamous Upper East
Side townhouse, you are, my dear,

the brownstone candle.

Harlan, a lot of.

Harlan got the brownstone.

It's based off of how they show up.

in this culture and in this world, and I
hope they can appreciate it. Ramona. I

think we're going to make great
cocktails and friendship together.

You, my dear, are getting the speakeasy
candles.

I love that. Well, thank you.

I'm a sucker for candles.

Welcome, baby.

Hi, guys. Nice to see you. Hi.

Good to see you. Am I here?

Okay, ladies.

Miss Fossum is going to take drink
orders. Food's already in the works.

course will literally be out in five
minutes.

Can I just have a sparkling water?

What do we do with this and this?
Whatever you want. baby you want to put

your hair you want to um what can i get
for you to drink ladies now that our

orders are in each of you have been
assigned a particular icon from the

renaissance and as you might imagine
it's been with intention i learned in

hamptons most of these women know zero
um about the true authentic black story

live and breathe this stuff i have an
academic background in it

Let me tuck in my breasts. Hold on. They
look amazing.

I'm Josephine Baker because Josephine is
the originator of my mantra and my

book, Pretty Powerful.

Josephine Baker had her fabulous breasts
naked for the world to see to get the

attention of the world. And you know
what she did with it? She spoke at the

March on Washington. She was sure to
never perform in segregated audiences.

She turned that aesthetic into power.

So obviously, I and Josephine Baker.

Obviously. Leah Gott, she's James
Baldwin this evening. James Baldwin was

eloquent, beautiful, queer truth teller.
I like that you are a straight shooter,

Leah McSweeney, and so you, my dear, are
James Baldwin tonight. I'm not worthy,

but thank you. Yeah. Next up, Nat.

So, Ebony, she feels, I'm sure, a
responsibility to do this.

Nat's getting W .B. Du Bois, also
pronounced Du Bois.

And it's not about having fun for her or
us, even though that's what we're used

to. It's really about teaching.

He was the first black man to get a Ph
.D. from Harvard.

And he said, I assure you, the pleasure
was all Harvard's.

But I'm pretty sure the women are not
into history.

Miss Luann, what's up?

My dear, you're Billie Holiday. For very
obvious reasons.

For very obvious reasons.

The voice of Harlem, the voice of the
Renaissance.

It's an honor to be assigned Billie
Holiday, but, you know, I'm just feeling

like, let's get things moving.

Where's the food?

Where's the music?

This is not the Harlem I'm used to.

Lady Sonia Morgan, you are Zorl Mill
Hurston. I look at Ebony as a

That's what she does. She is a speaker.

She's a broadcaster. Of course she's
going to suck the air out of the room

take the moment to speak her word.

If you don't like it, you better not
show up, because that's what you're

to get.

So I assigned you the most prolific
writer of the Harlem Renaissance, Zora

Hurston. I'm feeling this is very
informative, but I thought we were just

for dinner.

Miss Ramona, my fellow tastemaker, you
are Duke Ellington this evening.

Wow. I like learning new things, but I
wish then she gave me a whole, like, an

agenda. A musician, a composer, the
leader of the, that's kind of the image

think of Duke Ellington with his white
tugs.

Cocktails, one hour.

invoking Nella Larson tonight, who's a
lesser known icon.

History class, one hour.

Nurse, librarian.

Nurse. Shout out to nurses, Lou.
Exactly.

Dinner, an hour.

She's got multiple ethnicities going on.
Did you just eat my little one? I'm

starving. All right, we've had enough.
Can we just eat now and just we'll get

back to this like tomorrow or next week?

She ate my sandwich. I'm starving. I
couldn't help it. Here.

Ebony's losing some of her students.

I also am not sure how she's not seeing
that this is, like, not going great.

I love this, like, really showing our
history, our culture, because we get

of brushed over. Thank you, Queen. We're
one nation. Like, I'm tired of this

whole divided, you know, we're white
girls from the Upper East Side, you're

black girls from Harlem. I can't stand
it at all. We're Americans. We live in

the United States of America. It pisses
me off, seriously.

She's entitled to her opinion, but this.

No. We're all the same.

Well, I don't know that we're the same.

We're one nation. Like, I'm tired of
this whole we're white girls from the

East Side, you're black girls from
Harlem. We're all the same.

Well, I don't know that we're the same.
I'm saying white, black, Hispanic,

Asian, Japanese, we come from the same
core, right?

These bitches already think we're
exactly the same in all the wrong ways.

they need is a better understanding of
our exceptionalism and our uniqueness. I

really, in this moment, feel very
undermined.

Thank you.

I'm using the restroom really quick. You
guys start eating.

You're not into the octopus? No, I'm
going to. I just need a piece so bad.

Let me know, because when you come back,
it might not be mine.

So you know what? Me too. And I got a
small bladder.

Bon appetit. Eat away, everybody.

I'm eating.

Adrienne, this is delicious, wherever
you are.

Just so you know, I'm feeling a little
tired, so I may, like, leave in the

middle of the course. The fact that you
came is all that I care about. You have

that vertigo again.

How'd you know?

I know. Oh, my God.

You know me so well. I know. It's scary.

What is vertigo? I'll show you.

You're going to show us your vertigo?
Yeah, you'll see how I sway off to the

side. But you have to catch me.

Wait, maybe I have, maybe I should have
her. Is she more responsible?

No, you'll catch me. I didn't even know
this was possible.

Don't trust me. Okay, wait. Show me your
vertigo. I'll show you. Wait. Hold my

hand. I shut my eyes. Watch. I sway.

your grandmother died last week yeah she
just got colon cancer and she just it's

a big loss like you know i'm a kid i
know that's what ramona yeah i don't

know how you mentally dealt with that
like i don't know physically like given

three months to live you thought you
were gonna die they told me i was gonna

and i'm here girl 13 years cancer free

I have the chills right now. I have the
chills. Being diagnosed with a terminal

illness and being able to live to talk
about it is not something a lot of

get to do.

Are you happier now than you were? Or do
you see things totally different?

I live my life now.

I do it all.

I'm vivacious. I used to be a people
pleaser. I used to care what people said

about me. I don't give a...

It's the inner ear. I have to go to the
doctor for it.

And it's stress.

But why are you stressed?

Number one, Coco's not doing well. I
think I have to start doing something.

Maybe you want to do it with me. We have
to do this TM or something.

I stress myself out. What's TM that you
were just talking about?

I have to start doing meditation.

I just think she did take on too much
with this.

whole group of us.

Abandoned. She has vertigo again. I'm a
perfectionist. I am a perfectionist.

Yes, you are. I notice this table was
perfection.

This table is perfection.

Right down to these.

Who did I give you, baby? Duke
Ellington. I appreciate everything you

I'm glad you included my new friend for
Sean. I really, actually, really like

her. Alright, ladies.

Hello.

Okay, this is called the Breshawn.

Oh, you made a drink? This is my first
impression of having a personal

interaction with Breshawn. And because
she chose to express those all lives

matter vibes. I feel very dismissed, to
be candid. Here, move closer to Sonia.

I'm not feeling well. And I got to go.
You outdid yourself.

Bye,

gorgeous. Okay. Bye, baby.

No, you can have it. I'll have it. You
have it. All right, bye.

So this is funny. So just be honest,
right?

Me and my bestie, we were out just four
days ago. She's dating a guy she loves.

He has a small penis. Would you break
up? And look, Ebony put her head down.

She's like, uh, I can't.

Maybe it was a good idea for Ramona to
leave, not because of the vertigo, but

because we're all talking about small
penises. He's four, and it's not good.

four's not bad. You could work with
that.

No good?

Skinny and four? Four is like this.

Oh, that's two.

No, two girls like you. I don't think
I've ever seen a penis that small. No, I

have.

I have to have full sexual satisfaction.

I mean, same. I really do. I'm just
trying to think of options. I do. I got

have it, y 'all. Well, you know, people
say that you can't have it all, but

damn, I will die trying. Amen.

Y 'all, thank y 'all for coming to
Harlem.

I think actually all of y 'all have been
before. I know Ramona was our Harlem

version. I think this is a magical part
of New York.

Black excellence that is a part of
American excellence.

You opened a package for us to discover.
It's right in your backyard, y 'all.

Upper East Side, right down the street.
Let's do this again. It's not worth it.

Coming up.

I put you through such hell for a long
time. I'm sorry.

I made so many mistakes.

All right, Coco, I'm going to do a mask.

Now I forgot which side it's supposed to
be on. I think this side. Yeah, yeah.

It actually doesn't really matter.

It feels very refreshing. Let's time it.

I think it's like ten minutes, five
minutes.

You want a treat?

What do you want?

Pumpkin spice.

You like it, boy?

You like it?

Hey,

gorgeous. Hey.

Look at you. Look at you.

Good to see you, baby. Good to see you.
Thank you. I was actually just looking

at the menu.

We're probably going to get a tiny
cocktail.

All right. So, I thought your hard lead
went really good.

I'm so glad you got came.

I planned so much, so much intricate
detail. I was just proud, honestly.

Everybody there, I think, appreciated
it. Did you think that it resonated with

everybody?

Yeah, completely.

I mean, Mona obviously didn't feel well.
No, and she sent me a really nice text

message actually after. And so did
Sonia. Sonia sent me this message.

It was great. I mean, I thought Lou, I
thought she was a tiny bit quiet maybe.

I mean, look.

Yeah, everybody can't be on all the
time. They can't be on all the time. I

that white people are scared to get it
wrong.

Exactly, you know. And also, like, look,
you're, like, I wouldn't want to debate

with you. You don't want the smoke,
Leah? Like, I don't know if I really

the smoke with you, you know.

Of course the women are walking on
eggshells after the weekend in the

They really don't know how offensive
they are sometimes.

Diana. Are you talking to me? I meant
Diana.

No, I'm Michelle. No, you're getting
Michelle. I get my health wrong.

She said she got her health wrong.

Not only are you a black woman, but
you... I've studied it. It's like a

different life. It's a different level.
It's my life's work. It's your life's

work. Honestly, like, I love having
conversations about race with my black

friends. Interesting.

It's dynamic.

It's like there's never something to not
talk about because everyone's

experience is so different. But you, I
think you are very knowledgeable and you

are very powerful when you speak as you
should be. And you shouldn't like have

to like, like dumb it down.

Well, my life, I just can't do that. No,
no, no. And you shouldn't. You know

what I mean? But also just, I think, be
aware.

Of your power, which I think you are,
but maybe you're not as aware as... I

haven't been, Leah. You know, I think
you can be a little intimidating, maybe.

All right, and I receive that.

I never go into a space like, I'm going
to show this bitch.

But, you know, the reality is I make no
apologies for who I am. Yeah, I'm a lot.

You bitches are a lot, too. If some of
these women feel like they can't be

then they are just going to be, right?

And so I don't know how to make them
feel like they can, because it's a

like, it's a landmine for a white
person. You know what I'm saying?

I do. No, I do. I mean, it's just like,
I'm not a white woman, obviously. And

so, like, I can have my best intentions
and want to do it this way, that they're

getting it. But if it's not landing, I
need to know that. But I don't know.

not like I know. Have to talk to them
yet. Right.

About anything.

And I'm not.

thing that you shouldn't be doing this
if you uh i know where you're about to

you know where i'm about to go feeling
like i'm on payroll to teach white women

exactly like i don't want you to have to
feel like this is your job right i want

you to be able to chill too but also
honestly we feel like if not me then who

you know no one's perfect especially
these women they do have some learning

do but she can also

Get to know them. I think just her
getting to know them and being their

will teach them so many things.

This summer, when George Floyd was first
killed and Breonna Taylor and

everything, I did check out. And I
actually was like, I'm not doing this

anymore. Y 'all go find another black
teacher.

Yeah. And then I felt like I wasn't
doing my purpose.

You have to do you. I got to do me. And
I'll be honest, they could be a group of

black women and I would be the same.
Right. Oh, I know you would. You know

I mean? Oh, I know you would.

You want some peanuts?

Sure. Yeah? Because you're on the keto
diet, right?

No, no, no. You're not?

I thought you were on the keto diet.

Hello. Oh, I just heard Victoria.

It is you indeed.

Did you look through your new people? I
looked through my new people. Wow.

What do you want to drink? I don't know.
Do you have your faux?

I've got my faux -zay. It tastes so
good.

So Victoria hasn't been drinking for
like a year now.

Congratulations. Yeah. Yeah. Very proud
of her. Very proud.

Very grown up to get it at this age.

It's impressive, really. I have.

But, you know, Sonia brought it up. She
was like, yeah, we used to love to

party. I'm like, yeah, I love to party,
you know.

And I have great memories of those days.

Yeah. Listen, will I ever drink again? I
don't know the answer to that.

Anyway, I would like for Sonia to kind
of reel it in.

Well, the best thing you can do is just
be a power of example.

I'm a lot more calm and a lot happier. I
would say you are your true self.

Yeah, I've gotten definitely more
connected to myself.

And that's the point. Oh, there's a
delivery?

I'm going to go get that. Oh, thanks,
Mal. When you're in a different place

you're grounded and you feel present and
you can actually be there for people.

It's so different in terms of how my
relationships have changed.

It's a gift that you don't drink, Mom.

I feel so much better.

You're a lot better, to say the least.
You know what I mean? You're just my

I really don't feel that I... I think
when I was younger, I knew you as this.

Hi, Mom!

Hi, Rocky.

Hi, sweetie.

And then there was that...

That period.

What did I do?

Leave your feet in the vehicle. What did
I do wrong?

Those years, you know, where I was
growing up, when I was your age, you

dealing with my dad who had a drinking
problem. And the same time, from 8 to

It's like a parallel universe. It's
parallel. And, yeah, I'm starting to

the dots, you know, on so many things
that I did. I mean, my father is the

that runs through my life that I'm
realizing now, like.

How it affected me my whole life. You
know, this is all I wanted from you as a

kid. I wanted you to be honest and
acknowledge the insanity and say you're

sorry. You know what I mean? That's all
I ever wanted. I didn't... Well, listen,

I put you through such hell for a long
time, so... I'm sorry.

I made so many mistakes.

I love you so much.

I do.

Well, it means a lot.

I don't know.

I did the best I could.

I understand, really, now that I'm
sober.

I can't imagine the turmoil that we're
going through right now having to deal

with a hangover on top of it. I really
can't.

Coming up.

America's daughters. They get to see a
woman vice president. We've never seen

that in American history.

Okay. I don't want to talk politics.

Right? I don't want to talk politics.

I don't want you to hold back. I want
you to be completely honest when we're

talking to Whitney. You know what I
mean? She's here to, like, guide us and

us. You need to, like, speak openly
about, like, what you want out of a high

school, your strengths, your weaknesses.

Well, you know something.

You're the one who wants me to go to
private school. Oh, no. I want you to

options.

Oh, my God. Okay. There's Whitney.

We have to be on our best behavior.

You really are the hottest woman I've
ever seen in my life. Sorry. It's beyond

nice of you. Same to you. Thank you.
Same to you. I'm excited to meet you

in person.

I know.

Come on in. Whitney is a consultant that
I hired to help us apply to high

schools for Kiki because this process is
absolutely grueling. So one thing that

we're going to be looking for in a
school is a school that promotes hands

project -based learning. Yes, and this
is...

Sorry, just interrupt. And you know
because you've been dealing with my

and I'm sorry about that. My mother is
involved in pretty much every decision I

make with Kier because she is obsessed
with her.

And Bunny thinks that Kiki will be the
child that I never was to her. She's

gung -ho on Kiki going through her...

high school that she went to, which is
an all -girl Catholic school that's very

much like writing and not project -based
learning.

And I'm like, I'm meeting so much
resistance with her. My mother is

and she has the best intentions for my
daughter, but I feel like I'm being

pulled between my mom and, you know? You
are.

I am. I mean, you're in a challenging
position.

What I really want for Kier is for her
to really have a...

great high school experience.

I don't want her running all over New
York City, going out to raves, and then

ending up in a therapeutic community run
by nuns like I did.

So we're going to help guide you in the
direction that we think is helpful.

But ultimately, I want you to own this
process, okay?

Do you feel okay with that?

Yeah. Yeah? I feel fine.

And it'll be awesome for mom to see you
rise to the occasion, right?

So, I already emailed you your school
list. I'm going to kick you out of here,

and you're going to go start your
research. Oh, good idea.

Yep, look up these schools, okay?

Okay, I will. Thank you. You're welcome.

Text me later. Good job, Kiki. You're
taking ownership. I love that. You are.

Stop. All right, how are you feeling?

My mother makes me feel so guilty about
everything.

It's like I have loved, Kiki, being
educated at a public school.

having friends that are all different
races and socioeconomic.

Private school is a whole different
ballgame. I'm like, can she handle that

change? I was going to a school where I
was, like, curls were pulling up in

limousines, and I was, like, getting off
the M5 bus.

And I have my own issues about that
stuff, but I don't want to project it

her, you know?

For Kiki, really, I wanted to nurture a
love of learning and a curiosity, but I

also don't want her to be like in school
with a bunch of elitists.

And that's something that is like very
hard to balance when you're dealing with

like private school education in New
York City.

I'm like so terrified that I'm going to
make a mistake.

I feel like Rob's going to be so awkward
during the parent interview. We can't

leave him out of the interview. He has
to come.

Can we just, like, not talk?

You're playing the role of silence.
Yeah, you're playing the role of mute.

you.

I'm using the paper nap.

I've got too much laundry to do. Can you
slow down?

Mommy's a little tired today.

You guys should have waited until we got
here.

Should I take the ice out?

Oh, good. Let me see here.

Perfect timing.

Perfect timing.

Oh, sexy.

Well, it's kind of warm now. You look
beautiful, baby. Well, so do you. I had

something else on, but my arm was a
little warm because it got so warm out.

holding Carrie deep. She's so excited.
Hi. I want to scratch your pretty legs.

No, don't worry about it. I invited
Ebony to come over, and she brought her

Carrie, because I want to get into the
meat and potatoes of her. Yes, can she

a little preachy at times? Yes.

But I enjoy Ebony's company. She has a
good heart, good soul, and I respect her

tremendously.

Ramona, this place is gorgeous.

Thank you. Look at this view.

Cheers. Cheers again. Lovely getting to
know you, becoming good friends. Thank

you, Ramona. And thanks for having me
over to your home.

What did you think of the Harlem night?
I'm so excited that you got to come.

You know what? It was really nice to be
in that type of an atmosphere. I really

was like blown away by your attention to
detail. You took it to another level.

No, you did. It was just really
beautiful and stunning. That's good.

So we don't have to talk too much about
it, but how are you just feeling with

the election and how our city and world
will be in the next few months?

I really just don't want to think about
it. I've been thinking about it a lot.

If it goes how it's looking, it's going
to go right now. What I'm very, very

happy about is America's daughters. They
get to see a woman vice president.

We've never seen that in American
history.

Okay. I don't want to talk politics.

Right? I don't want to talk politics.
Have we had a vice president, woman,

Ramona? That's an objective fact.

Let's have a nice evening. I don't want
to talk politics.

I don't.

I'm actually shocked that Ramona is.

So triggered. I thought like where we
can have middle ground. Like I actually

thought about this was we are women and
she has a daughter. And can't we all

agree how great it is to see women
advance in American politics? You know,

not going to let you off the hook that
much. You know what? Only because they

say don't talk about politics with
friends. We're not talking about

Does Ebony have to talk politics all the
time? I know we have more in common

than that. As my daughter Avery would
say, peel back the onion.

Ebony, can you peel back the onion,
please?

I'll change the subject. So after that
whole weekend that we had.

Well, I'm happy about Kamala Harris.
I'll say that. That's your right to be.

After our whole weekend in the Hamptons,
you really opened up my mind to things.

So I first looked up what.

Oh, micro.

Oh, microaggression. Okay.

Microaggression? What's that all about?

It's about saying certain words that
trigger people who are black.

Okay. There is this issue, and it's been
an ongoing issue in this country. So,

of course, we're aware, but we are not
that aware. Like when a black person

into a store, they go, go to the sale
rack.

A black person goes into the store, they
follow you to make sure you're not

going to shock them.

Right. Or like, oh, you have great hair.

Is it yours?

I didn't add that. Yeah, so you opened
up my mind. You seemed like you

appreciated knowing, you know, once
you're new. Yeah, absolutely. I think

tend to be, and it's probably just
because of the experiences I've had in

world, working at Fox and working in
news. So I kind of sometimes have a bit

a grittier lens on our country.

We are a divided country right now,
Ramona, and we're in your home, and I'm

going to respect that. But you know
what, when you think, when you put out

energy, it's going to happen. No, no,
because it's true, though. We don't even

know who the president is, which is
indicative our nation is divided.

Well, excuse me, we don't have a
president because normally there weren't

-in ballots.

Everything changed the whole election.
Well, you said you didn't want to talk

about politics.

Well, you're bringing it up. All right,
can we just change the subject?

I'm going to take a step away because
you know what?

I don't want to do this.

I don't. I'm liking you, and I just
don't think you mix. I don't know you

well. I feel like you're teaching me.
You're preaching me.

Tell me what I taught you. I don't know.
You know what?

I'm walking away for a minute, and I'm
going to come back.

Okay.

We don't even know who the president is,
which is indicative our nation is

divided. I feel like you're teaching me.
You're preaching me.

Tell me what I taught you. I don't know.
You know what?

I'm walking away for a minute, and I'm
going to come back. Okay.

Ebony's not having a conversation.

It seems like she just wants to ram
something down my throat, so to speak,

it's like her way or no way, and she's
sounding a little preachy.

Coco, we don't want to talk politics.

It's been a crazy week. I'm stressed out
enough.

I know she means well, but I feel like
she wants to educate me.

I don't want to be educated.

I mean, I like my mind being opened up,
and I just said you opened up my mind,

and then, wow, she can't, like, back
off.

Ramona needs to really understand.

I'm actually just trying to connect with
you and really see not what your party

politics. I don't give a about that. I'm
trying to understand what your values

are, because if we can assess and have
any alignment right on values, we can

have a real friendship. You know, Coco,
this is why I'm not feeling well. I

haven't put on my butterfly necklace.
It's me and Avery.

So this is my happy necklace. This is me
and Avery.

It's absolutely beautiful. And it's a
one -of -a -kind piece. And everyone

to know where they can get it, but it
was specially made for me.

And I haven't worn it for a while. And I
just want to be in a happy place. It's

gorgeous. Here's to being in a happy
place. And it's good to chat with you,

I just want to be in a happy place. I
want to be in a happy place, too.

But I also want to be in an authentic
place. I want us to be able to tell the

truth from Mona to each other. If we're
going to be good girlfriends.

fun right now, okay? I had a really hard
week. That's your privilege. This is

the white female fragility, Ramona.

You're preaching me. I'm not. You are.
That's gaslighting. You know what? I'm

not gaslighting you. Yes, you are.
You're gaslighting me. I invited you

home. I'm telling you that I want to
have a real friendship with you, Ramona,

because I like you.

I like you, too. But you can't like me
only when I say the things you want me

say. You can say whatever you want. I
just don't want to talk about political.

And I'm not talking about that. I don't
want to talk about race, religion, or

creed. Is that okay?

Ramona, that's who I am.

Well, then you know what?

You need to back off a little because
the other girls are not feeling really

good about this. They feel like you're
lecturing them. It was a fun night, but

we were just saying it's like being back
at school.

Well, when you're with Ebony, you feel
like it's her platform to...

Educate us. It's a huge movement right
now.

No, I know. And we respect that. But I'm
wondering when it's going to loosen up

with her a little bit. We can talk about
other subjects.

They should be big girls because
everybody's an adult. And they should

they feel. You invited me here. I
thought that we were on a good place,

We are on a good place. But you can't
tell me not to talk about how I feel.

You're too heavy for me right now. This
is too serious of a conversation when I

just want to enjoy my life. I'm glad
that you can. I want to escape for 24

hours. Ramona, I'm glad you can do that.

I have the privilege to do that. You
know what? Does that make sense to you?

Yes, you can. I can't escape it. Am I
supposed to take this off and hang it

No. Did you have a coat closet for my
blackness, Ramona? I'm feeling I'm being

attacked, okay? I really, you know,
tried to understand, and I took things

and I'm actually, you know, I didn't
have to bring this up. I mean, the other

person I want to bring up is E .J.
Walker.

She was the first freaking millionaire,
and she was black. It's E .J. Walker.

Whatever. Walker, Walker. No, not
whatever, Ramona. All right, you know

got to go now. Okay, I'm going. All
right? Lovely to see you.

Thank you. It was lovely to see me,
though. It was lovely. You were upset.

And why?

We don't have to be upset. No, because
now you're correcting me about... I

didn't know, Ramona. You know, I didn't
do that. You know what, Ramona? That is

admirable that you knew the first
millionaire woman was a black chick

correcting me like a teacher. I feel
like I'm with a teacher. You know what?

You're not getting it right now. You
know that's not her name.

Oh, my God. It's not the point.

I'm actually shocked right now. I feel
like she's just picking on me for no

reason. Before I leave, I do have to ask
you one question.

Sonia Morgan.

mentioned to me that she had a problem
with you posting the picture that I

and reposted of me and you.

She was just jealous.

Sonia loves the attention.

And when she saw I gave you attention,
she was resentful. Look who's lecturing.

Look who's lecturing. Look who's
standing up here. I feel like I'm

here with school teachers. I felt like I
was being attacked. You're not being

attacked, babe. I just wanted you to
know CJ Walker because I know you're

to tell your friends. All right. That's
it.

All right. All right. All right. All
right.

Okay? I'm not a big scary monster, you
crazy lady.

You know?

And I don't want to feel like we have no
fly... You know what a no -fly zone is?

You know what a no -fly zone? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Don't... We don't... And I

to know about your feelings. I think
that you do.

I think you do.

So don't say it. I don't want to hear
about your feelings. I was up at 5 o

'clock in the morning researching all
this shit.

And that's okay.

But I'm not going to treat you with kid
gloves and white fertility.

Because you're a strong white woman.

Yeah, and you're a strong black bitch.

Yeah, I am. Strong black bitch. I like
that. So overall,

a show.

This guy was a show.

But one that we survived.

And I hope that it ends up bringing us
closer in a weird way.

I wasn't going to let you kick me out.

Bitch,

you tried it. You were. Actually,

what was funny was you were going to
leave your own house.

You were like, I'm going to leave. I'm
like, well, I don't even know how to

up. Next time on The Real Housewives of
New York City.

I love men that can travel to other
countries.

We don't want nobody broke.

Welcome to Salem, bitches.

Is the hotel okay? No, no.

Only good spirits here. Maybe I'll, you
know, get lucky during the night.

You are what's wrong in the world, so
shut up.
