Previously, on The Golden Life.

We have to get Sonja beating to our drum.

You said I was fucking around

in Saint Tropez on my husband!

And you were.

I never said anything about Richard.

I don't want to talk about Richard.

You talk about Richard all the time.

I'm not gonna let Sonja get under my skin.

Nothing bothers me, but when it does,

I cut the snake off of the head.

I spent the whole night in the car to be here

and I'm so stressed out.

We can't miss our flight.

It's a multi-million dollar campaign.

I'm tapped out.

Bye, love you guys.

Bye.

Hey, cutie, you've got mail.

You've got mail? Okay!

How fun was last night?

Sorry, it's a little bit...

It was so much fun, you did so good.

- Oh, my God, it was a ball. - You were great.

The best part is they didn't know I dropped all the cards

and I couldn't read Roger's little numbers,

I didn't know if I was on one or 13.

That's why you're so good at it,

'cause you know how to roll with it. What's that?

Oh, you know I'm doing, getting that luncheon ready

for the girls.

The gift bags are gonna be chic.

Nice.

Doing colored cable mats.

Everybody knows that I love to host at Blue Stone Manor.

And I don't 100 percent

feel like I'm connecting with Palm Beach.

My interest was just connecting with the girls.

So why am I not showing my hostessing skills here,

invite the girls into my home,

to do a fun, hat-themed luncheon?

Oh, those are pretty.

Did you hear if Ramona's coming back?

No. I don't know if Sonja's gonna come back.

Where are we with Sonja? Did you talk to her?

So we took a great opportunity of this beautiful spa,

and I was just so embarrassed,

like I thought, "They're not gonna have me back now."

I cried when I got that video.

That you were unfuckable?

It just was mean,

I don't say anything mean about you ever, Sonja.

People around us, they'll think we're nuts.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time, D.

Oh and then you know,

she's talking just shit about you,

she's talking shit about me. "Michael's still married."

I said, "Well, she's happy, why do you care?"

I'm on the same page as you, don't get me wrong.

But I think, you know, the approach is, you know,

to come from a place of kindness and hugs

because I feel like she's...

- She's like, in a place-- - Then you weren't...

But that may be your experience, but I will tell you right now

I have so little desire to talk fantasy land.

I hear you loud and clear.

I've known Sonja for a long time. And I love her.

She just needs to be loved.

Not confrontation, hugs and nurturing.

Do me a favor, on Tuesday,

when I have this beautiful luncheon here,

I can't have her...

So are you not inviting her?

No, I'm not gonna not do that. But I can't have her unraveling.

I want to do a beautiful, classy luncheon

with all kinds of hats,

and I hope that Sonja doesn't ruin it for me.

Let me talk to her.

I want to get out of this area.

I'm tired of the Palm Beach stuff. I'm not sipping,

I'm not shopping.

I found an area with the most amazing vintage shops

you've ever seen.

The more gaudy and cheeky, the better.

Emma!

All those are deals. Those are hot.

I have like five or six contracts

that I just have to sign, or they're gonna give them away,

because squeaky wheel gets the grease in New York.

I just got back from New York. Happy to be home.

I have a lot of work to do.

Ramona decided to stay with her daughter.

After seeing Dorinda at the spa, I can't take any more drama.

I've had a very complicated life

since my husband's accident and the divorce.

And I didn't move down here to spar with the girls.

You rip all the lower leaves off so you don't get bacteria.

Speaking of which, I have to call the gyno.

Something's going on.

I don't know if it's 'cause my tub is smaller,

I don't know if it's bacteria,

I don't know what it is,

but I gotta get back in the saddle.

I can't be intimate, I can't do shit.

- How's that look? Good? - Okay. Yeah. That's good.

All right. I need my me time. You're good.

I'm an introvert. I can feel other people's pain.

I'm also an empath.

But I'm an introvert because I need to go in my cave.

This is the life, okay? Look how green my gardens are.

I just need to recalibrate.

Emma!

Are you doing the emails?

I'm doing the flowers first. And I'll get to the emails.

We have work to do.

Oh, the door's open. How interesting.

Knock, knock! I'm here!

Welcome!

- It's fricking freezing. - What is this?

- Some rosé. - I gotta do my radio show.

So what? Just have a little sip.

- Okay, I'll have a little-- - Just have a tiny, tiny sip.

Oh, my God, this is adorable. Did you redo it?

I did. A little bit.

Let's go. Okay, how many bedrooms?

You just need to help me make it nice, that's what I need.

I've known Kelly for years,

'cause we're sort of more social friends in New York City.

And I want to reestablish my relationships

with all the girls.

Really having time one-on-one.

This is my bedroom.

Cozy.

Yeah, it's cute. I mean, we're gonna do a new bed.

I would always see her at all the parties.

But you know, never went that deep.

And maybe it'd be fun to get to know you better.

You know, I love a named house.

- Wait, that's such a cute idea! - Right?

- Or, you know, Coral Cove. - Oh, my God.

- Coral Cove. Yeah. - That's it.

I love all the ladies,

but I want to have a stronger friendship with Dorinda.

Not just seeing each other on a trip every once in a while.

I literally was thinking this morning,

"I kind of miss Blue Stone Manor."

- I know that sounds so weird. - Like, I miss my home.

Greg's always like, "What are you up to now?"

Like, I'm like, "Oh I got, the sun is setting.

"One of the crows died.

"And I have a bed of rosemary I'm gonna lie it in

"and then offer it to the trees of the night."

I believe the trees talk to me every night.

Dorinda is a very deep, thoughtful person.

And I read a little Greek tragedy,

something about Orpheus.

"How about we have a glass of wine and go to sleep?"

I have no idea what she's talking about. Honestly.

But I love it. I love it.

Did you know that?

No, I did not know that at all.

- But I love that. - Oh, yeah.

They call me, like, the white witch.

Oh, my God.

What is going on here?

People really think I'm very Palm Beach.

Like, I can play the part.

But I'll tell you, the problem with me is,

and this is why this is good, Palm Beach,

for me to make myself a little uncomfortable.

Like, I have no problem spending time with me, myself and I

- for long periods. - Right, great friends.

- Like, I don't get lonely. - Yeah.

You know, after Richard died,

my world came tumbling down, like, ASAP.

And you know, I'm a real big believer in the pivot,

because if you don't pivot when needed, you get stuck.

So, that's why I wanna kinda do a luncheon.

Maybe it will make me feel a little bit more at home.

Do you still have a place in New York?

So, I have a small apartment in New York.

So this is your home.

Right now. I needed to come down here and have a hug,

because I was having all these feelings,

and was like, I got off the plane,

and Tarzan and I were sitting there, and I'm like,

I was so overwhelmed.

Breaking up, and like, not just breaking up,

but just being like, we're done.

Now that's gone.

So I'm like, I'm just gonna come here, find some place

that I could actually live.

It's like, you know, it's like a cut that never heals.

Right.

This is the 20th anniversary of my divorce,

and I'm still dealing with the emotional fallout from that.

My ex-husband kept me home like Rapunzel.

Make sure the kids are okay.

We're gonna have all these parties,

I'm gonna yell and scream at you before the parties,

and then I'm gonna go off and do whatever I'm gonna do.

I lost a part of myself in that marriage that

I don't know if I can get back.

I've never been in love before, and I'm telling that honestly,

like, this isn't like,

"I've never been in love before!"

This is like, real life.

After my divorce,

I put energy into relationships that didn't deserve it.

And I just feel like my friendships have really,

really suffered. And now, I'm trying to really nurture

and hone these friendships that I've had for a long time.

It's important to me.

Why am I so insecure? What is wrong with me?

You know, it's a lot to be, to give yourself,

- your life to someone. - Right.

Get your bearings and set your roots and wings down.

And figure out what I wanna do.

Yeah.

That's why you're so nurturing.

I have been told I'd be a very good therapist.

Kelly has this life that I'm learning about,

and now I feel like we're kind of digging a little deeper.

I think Kelly feels like she's on the periphery of our group.

And in some ways, she is.

She tries very hard to do catch up.

I had so many, like, beautiful memories with you

when we were in Saint Bart's.

And like, any time that there was any like miscommunications,

I felt so awful.

- Yeah. - 'Cause I just care.

This is a tough group, these girls.

There's nothing fairies and fluffball about us,

and I think maybe she's learning the pace a little bit.

You know, we're a pace.

- Yeah, well, what we can do-- - Love, do you want a dinner?

Yeah, we'll go somewhere, get some wine, have some fun.

- Have a mojito and come home. - Yes!

And come to my luncheon party.

- I would love that. - How fun would that be?

Fantastic.

All right, so listen, I gotta go do my radio show.

Tarzan, say bye-bye.

Okay, bye.

Bye!

Dorinda invited me to have drinks

with her and Luann, off camera.

We were having so much fun, and then all of a sudden,

Dorinda started talking about her late husband.

And I said, you know, please don't talk about the deceased.

Like, I just don't like it, I don't like hearing about it.

That triggered her, and she got really upset.

Where's Maxy?

Probably taking Advil.

Oh, Jesus.

- We had a night last night. - A rough night?

I don't know. It just went south.

You know, Kelly brought up Dorinda's husband, who's dead.

That's a big no-no.

Big no-no, we know that.

To be honest, I don't even know what happened. I was dancing,

so I didn't hear a word.

I just saw those two going at each other.

So they were screaming at each other at...

- Oh, that's great. - Our favorite restaurant.

- Oof. - I know.

The things that she was saying were like so strange, like,

"Oh, you're just a swimsuit model. Bethany was right

"about you, you're a nobody. You're an idiot. You're stupid."

Hello?

Hello! I came to rescue you.

Yeah, thank you. Hey.

She needs rescuing right now.

Well, it was all going so well, we were having so much fun.

I know! It was so much fun.

Then she just...

Came out of nowhere.

She goes, "You don't talk about your ex. He's dead."

I'm like, what? And by the way, he's not my ex-husband,

like my ex dead husband.

Right.

Two insults.

Right.

I was like, "I agree that I should not talk

about your ex-husband, period, end of story."

So I wrote Dorinda a really nice text.

I don't know why it bothers me so much when Dorinda talks

about her deceased husband. Maybe it's a little envy.

Maybe it's because I've never had that kind of love before.

I just feel really, really badly. I do.

- Did you answer? - Uh-huh.

A, thank you for the text,

B, please refrain from speaking about my late husband.

Have a great day. Best, Dorinda Medley.

I really felt like Kelly and I were sort of developing a bond.

It's kind of a bummer because I was very excited

about all of us meeting

later today to go to one of my favorite vintage shops.

And I mean, this has just thrown a wrench into everything.

It's like, crazy.

And I may not be as tall as you. But I am fast.

You know those pos... Those things that stand up?

You know those ones? The...

Prairie dogs?

Prairie dogs. I pop up, I come, and I...

And then I go back down.

That's it.

Who taught you how to fight like that?

I have so much empathy, and on the other hand,

I feel super beat up.

I said to her, you have no idea,

because when I swing, you'll go down.

Yeah.

You get one shot, you go for it,

then go for it once. Because then, game fucking on.

Coming up.

I have been looking for a friend like you for so long.

It hurt me deeply what you did.

I love you Sonjarita. Our history is deep.

Nobody's ever gonna come in between me and Luann.

I hope Sonja is good because I don't want to be embarrassed

in front of these people during this party.

- Who said that? - Dorinda.

Oh, fuck her.

Door's open!

Sonjarita!

Hello, Lu.

Sonja?

I'm in here.

Hi, what a cute little place you got.

Girl, you need to get that bush in shape.

I know.

Dorinda's having a luncheon,

and Dorinda has expressed to me that she's really concerned

about Sonja's erratic behavior recently. When she's one-on-one,

which is where I wanted to be with her,

it makes a big difference. We go way back.

Obviously, she's going through something,

because her behavior's just been wacky.

And I feel like, you know, she just needs a girlfriend.

I have not seen you, I understand it's a girls' trip

and we're all down here for two months, but like,

you're my bestest friend, like you're not even here!

Listen, you know we are best of friends but I feel like

things are not lining up for me. I'm a little disconnected.

We're very close, Luann and I.

The only reason we don't see each other often is because

she has Dorinda in her ear

reminding her of how horrible I was.

No, we're usually connected at the hip.

Sonja, I think you need more pillows for your couch.

I put a lot in storage. Just throw them on the floor,

I don't give a fuck, I'm not attached to them.

Okay.

Darling, I mean, I can't even sit on the couch.

Here.

This furry friend goes over there.

That's called a lay-up.

Oh, God, there's a lot of dust on that thing.

I love you.

Like an old married couple.

We really know each other that long.

All right, let me get my drink. I'm gonna be so fucked up.

Wait 'til you see, I take THC.

Uh-huh. Well, I know you take it, but, girl.

It rubbed Sonja the wrong way that I'm closer to D right now

than I am to her because she doesn't let me get close.

And I don't know why. And then she says she's drinking THC.

That could make you crazy.

I kept a bottle over here 'cause my housekeeper and I,

we drink after she finishes work.

Okay, and that says it all.

That's it. So I had to hide it from her.

You're like my weird aunt.

This is... it-it's Grey Gardens.

Grey Gardens!

- ♪ Is the place to be ♪ - Nothing grey!

You know, this THC thing is not good for you.

You want some wine? We want white wine!

You want white wine?

Have you ever seen that, Lu? It's a video meme. White wine.

I'm gonna have some white wine!

She's just fluttering around like a butterfly.

It's like the moth that follows the light, you know?

And I'm in the dark.

I don't know what you're on...

- You know what I'm on-- - What are you on?

Is an inhaler because I have a huge dust allergy.

This is killing me. I can't.

That's Christofle!

- My, my-- - This is Christofle!

- My throat is closing up. - This is French!

I'm so glad to finally see Luann.

You know, we argue like sisters.

I have two of these, 2,500 each, I kept these.

It's windy out here! Woo!

There she goes. Woo!

No! Not the flowers! I'm too cheap to throw them out.

Right there. They're not gonna move. I promise you.

I think that's what I love about my friendship with Luann,

is we can just straighten each other out when needed

and pick up where we left off.

Enjoy each other's company.

All right, so, let's catch up.

I wanted you to see the apartment.

I think it's great.

So, we go out last night, and all hell breaks loose.

Oh, God.

Kelly brings up Richard.

I'm like...

Why would she bring him up? Why would she bring him up?

Dorinda talks about Richard all the time.

And they-they rip each other apart, okay?

It becomes a huge thing.

And Dorinda is like, you know what it's like.

If you mention Richard, you talk badly about Richard, clip!

Yeah, I have PTSD from her clipping on my ass.

I don't believe the story that she attacked Dorinda.

I'm envisioning Kelly saying to Dorinda,

"But your husband's in the past, you need to let that go."

Oh, my God, Dorinda's told me that 100 million times.

But you can't tell Dorinda that.

So, Dorinda is having a lunch on Tuesday, and she said to me,

"I hope Sonja is good because I don't want to be embarrassed

"in front of these people who are doing this party."

- Who said that? - Dorinda.

Oh, fuck her. She's embarrassing to herself.

I don't know why you have to talk about Dorinda

as if we're all worried about her feelings.

- Well, she, she-- - She's very mean to everybody.

- She raised the concern. - Oh, I don't need to come,

you know I don't want to go.

But I know you're never on your best behavior, Sonja.

I don't need to go there. Why should I go there?

I don't wanna go there. I can stay home.

- Why not? She invited you. - If I go, I'm gonna be myself.

She's the one that's angry. I have a great time.

I'm always having a great time.

What is it with you two? Come on.

I'm a peacemaker, right?

So with Dorinda, I know when things get escalated, you know,

Dorinda can have a short temper.

This is why I don't see the girls that often,

I get exhausted. You know me,

I don't leave here for ten days, sometimes.

You're a recluse. I want you to be happy.

And I want to feel connected to you again.

I want to feel close to you again.

Come here, get over here.

Right, hey, 'cause you know I love you.

I will always love you. 'Cause I'm a real friend.

It's your world, I'm just living in it.

I know Luann misses me too, she's just been very distracted

by sharing an apartment building with Dorinda

and with her boyfriend.

But nobody's ever gonna come in between me and Luann.

I mean, if it didn't happen thus far, it'll never happen.

I'm always here for you.

I'm so glad you came over, it's good to see you

without all the distractions of everybody else.

You know, there's something so disconnected

about our friendship. I miss my girl.

I love you Sonjarita. Our history is deep and thick.

- I know. - You're like family to me.

- I know that. Yes. - Don't forget it.

I don't want to have to go gangster on you.

Oh, we do not want to see that. Okay? We've just it with Kelly.

Oh, no, it was bad. Love you.

You're trying to tell me that Kelly was mean to Dorinda?

Yeah.

That's the direction we're going?

Kelly going off on Dorinda, that's so ass backwards.

We're going to a vintage shop.

Yes, we are.

I went all country girl.

I went vintage Gucci.

- Oh, you look great. - Since it's old.

Hi!

Hello. How are you? Wow.

- Welcome. I'm Michelle. - I'm Kelly.

- Nice to see you, Michelle. - Nice to meet you.

It smells so good in here, too.

- That's our candles. - Oh, my God.

We're serving a couple things today, as we do.

- Oh, wow. - Sip and shop.

Sip and shop, I love that.

Yeah. Chivalry is not dead.

The reason why I arranged this, this vintage shop,

- I just wanted to do fun stuff. - Yeah. I agree.

- I wish Ramona was here. - I know.

I don't get hurt easily. But Kelly crossed a line.

And now I have this, you know, fun day that I've planned

at this wacky store. I go there with a, with a heavy heart.

I can't deal with that. I just can't.

No, no way.

Look at how cute! Little azaleas coasters.

These are just seven-buck-chucks.

Dorinda invited me to go to this store

when she was at the house.

I found the most amazing vintage shop with great stuff.

Love that.

But now, it's a little tricky

because Dorinda really like shell-shocked me.

But I am a defuser,

so I will defuse the situation in the right way.

Wow!

Oh, my God!

Wow, just wow.

Transformation.

I'm dressed for Easter.

Somehow, I got invited today. So, I'm gonna be here.

I want Dorinda to know, if I can't discuss my feelings,

I'm just gonna keep it rolling. Just keep going.

Oh, my God.

All right, come, come.

Kelly! Get your butt in here!

Sorry, I'm like, my ADD is going coo-coo-kachoo.

Speak of ADD, Luann came over yesterday,

she was all over the place.

Do I feel bad for Kelly? Yeah. I've been there.

And honestly, it's better it's her than me right now,

I already went through this recently. I can't handle it.

I don't have the constitution.

Before the girls get here, here's what I heard.

Yes.

The word on the street is...

I'm a bathing suit model?

That you attacked Dorinda and she was crying.

I'm like, that's refreshing, that's an oxymoron.

That is so me.

So what is this story?

Dorinda said something about something, and I said,

"Please don't talk about the deceased."

She always talks about Richard. This is new to you?

I don't know if Kelly understands,

we've seen this before.

Dorinda's projecting her pain, missing her own husband,

the things that go with a family life. It's not Kelly.

I just want everyone to have a good time.

Are you ready?

They said you brought up Richard.

Dorinda brings up Richard.

I don't even know who this person is.

I know, I know.

Oh, he's gonna let us out.

How adorable is this place?

Oh, my God.

It's very...

I came down here to nurture friendships.

Right, I know that.

- And the one thing that-- - And you're doing a great job.

I love that. And I love you. Hello!

Look how gorgeous you guys are!

- Hi! - Hot pants!

Sonja, you are perfect for here.

I'm dressed for Easter!

You look good.

- I feel good. - You look stunning.

Oh you look so stunning. Hi!

Dorinda and Sonja, they can fight, and then when

they see each other socially, it's like nothing ever happened.

It's bizarre.

Luann, can you guys just give one second? I want to talk.

Oh, you two want to talk? Oh, bye.

You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna shop.

Come on, Sonja, let's go shop.

Whose is this? Yours?

Kelly, good luck. Good luck with that.

Look at this.

Oh, I do love the leopard.

I walked in here and I go, this screams Sonjarita.

Screams Sonjarita.

I want to do this and then never speak of it again.

- Okay? - Perfect.

We were having such a great time connecting, then this happened.

It was so deeply personal, to say things like,

I'm disrespectful about my dead ex...

He's not my ex. First of all.

No, he's your, yeah. He's still your husband.

And no one wants to hear about him. Ask Luann.

- Oh, wow. - Oh, yeah.

We were drinking, and I, and that happens.

I think maybe you went into a trance.

If you think I said that, then I apologize.

I'm your biggest fan, and I take what you do

and what you say really to heart.

You know, I've been looking for a friend--

It really hurt my, no listen--

I have been looking for a friend like you for so long.

It hurt me deeply, what you did.

- I am so sorry. I'm so sorry. - It really did.

- Because you know what? - I'm so sorry.

I know if, even if I do talk about him, he, I have...

that's my prerogative.

I would love to hear about him.

No, I'm not gonna do that.

I don't feel like it's a safe space, I'm not.

On our own time, I would love to hear those stories with you.

I would love that.

And I am so sorry.

- And by the way... - It's okay. And I accept that.

...I'm obsessed with you,

and I've told everyone.

I was literally crying my eyes out like, what happened?

Yeah.

Well, I think we just have to take a minute

and work and just--

I'm really sorry. I love you.

I feel like this is like a break-up!

I feel like I should've done this to my ex,

and maybe he would come back!

No.

I have never been in love, so I don't understand

the relationship that Dorinda had.

So I had no idea I affected her that way.

There's a lot underneath all of that Lady Di hair.

There's a lot.

All right, let's go enjoy ourselves.

I was very protective after Richard died,

and I don't want anyone to come in and somehow hurt me.

So I'm kind of fighting that

because this one wounded me, for sure.

So, okay, catch me up on the guys. Because I haven't

really heard from you in terms of who you're dating right now.

And I was thinking--

Well, I know who you're dating.

- You know who I'm dating. - Bam.

- Isn't he hot? - I love him.

I mean, I like him very much.

We know you like him.

I was like, is she gonna put her hands down his pants?

Ramona!

You're like--

What if his wife sees me and his kids? That's even worse.

What wife would see you, he's not married? He's divorced.

Oh, I thought he was ma-- He got divorced fast!

Yeah.

- So no money. - No.

If he had money, it would take six years.

Really? We're going here now?

I thought we had made a connection again,

I just saw her, and here she goes below the belt.

She didn't get below the belt the first time,

so here she goes for the second time.

He's good with mine, don't you worry about that.

- Your money? - You know what?

When you get married in America, it's 50/50.

That's just the way it goes.

Yeah, but 50/50 of nothing is still nothing.

I'm letting it go for now,

but it's part of her erratic behavior

that I think she's trying to make me feel bad because

she's not feeling so great about herself right now.

I never heard of anyone get divorce that fast.

Well, he did.

Even you, with the best divorce ever.

Listen, he's been separated--

And you were the most reasonable, and your divorce

took at least a hot second.

When she first told me about Michael,

she said he was married,

so in my mind that was like, yesterday. I see her very happy,

and I'm hoping he's divorced.

You know, there's things people will do to be with a countess,

and I just want to make sure she's okay.

He's got a home in East Hampton.

Anyway, why am I explaining myself to you...

'Cause I never heard of anyone getting divorced that fast.

...about Michael's financial... What?

At the end of the day, is he still married?

We don't know. We don't know. We will never know.

He's been separated for years.

Also, that wouldn't help anyone's divorce.

- Dancing with me is never good. - No, never good.

The wives come back and say, "Oh, now you're gonna pay me.

"You're with that crazy woman? Crazy in the head, crazy in bed?

"Oh, yeah, yeah, now I see what you're about.

"Give me all the money, baby."

Coming up.

Sonja, aren't you even gonna greet the hostess and say hello?

I'm not doing it.

So, you were 20 minutes late.

Sit down and get some receipts, Dorinda.

- Sonja! - Oh, my God!

Get her out.

I knew she was gonna go crazy.

ThatI need that console.ie Is mirrors out?

- Mirrors are out. - I love mirrors.

- Should we sit here? - Sonjarita, darling.

Catch me up on the guys.

There's three guys I'm dating, one I'm sleeping with.

And the one I really like,

our third date, I slept with him.

Ramona's like, "Oh, my God." You never do it.

Well, listen, though. I'm like, "No, I need to have sex."

Show them the bump on your head you got last night.

I knew you were gonna bring that up.

What? Wait, I'm trying to get the visual. Are you on top?

So it's one of these, it's one of those, okay?

It's like...

This is what I love. Acting silly, joking around.

Me dry humping Luann.

And the head is in the board.

So we're having a good time.

You look better today, Sonja.

She looks great today.

I know. But no, you're looking good, Sonja.

I had to put a little deodorant.

I feel like we're getting our Sonjarita back.

I want you to feel comfortable with us.

I am comfortable with you.

I don't know if that dalmation can take it.

Sonja, you should go in that chair.

Am I in the dog's chair?

No, now you're in the queen's chair.

- Let's connect. Right? - Yeah.

Why don't you come to the hat party? We feel disconnected.

- I hear you. Here's what it is. - Okay, good.

You people, you people.

You people. You people?

All right. I like to be alone with you girls.

Every time I try to see you,

you're surrounded by all of these people. Like...

Okay, are we being, are we being like that now?

- You're doing this, not me. - All right.

I think Sonja can be jealous of relationships.

Because as soon as the group is around,

she starts digging at us,

and acting like kind of a victim.

You can trust us.

What is that about? Oh, yeah, I really trust you

when you pull those daggers out.

Well, you just pulled your daggers out.

You know what you did? You gave me a dig.

When I first got here, you know what you did?

- What'd I do? - Oh, you know,

your married boyfriend.

You know?

I said I was embarrassed dancing like that in front of--

With your married boyfriend.

- In front of the wife. - Dig.

I don't want her starting this rumor mill going

because people actually believe that shit.

I'm trying-I am trying to overlook it.

I'm trying but she's making it really, really difficult.

I just very flippantly brought it up, "Is he still married?"

But now she's freaking out on me because obviously,

somebody talked to her before this moment.

And that would be Dorinda.

Michael is married. You know that, right?

Okay, stop, Sonja.

She's talking just shit about you.

"Michael's still married, and Michael did this,

"and Michael did that."

"He's got no money 'cause he got divorced that quick."

I said...

- Why didn't we know about this? - That's what she said.

If she's acting uncool now, it's because of Dorinda.

If this is the kind of friend she's gonna be,

then what do I need a friend like that for?

You make a dig about my boyfriend.

Then you put your hands up his shirt.

Okay? Let's talk about that.

No, I, I lifted his shirt, I didn't touch him.

Well, believe me, if I didn't stop you, you would've had

your hands down his pants. Okay?

No, that's not true!

I mean, you're really rude.

I thought he was still divorcing.

They love each other.

There has to be an acknowledgement with friends

when you hurt their feelings.

It's fucking cheap. I don't do cheap.

Should we go now?

Let's go.

And Luann just wants Sonja to respect that,

and not treat it like it's just buffoonery.

Thank you.

- Oh, wait, are they all coming? - I don't know.

Oh, of course, they left us.

Last I heard he was married, so now I'm in trouble again.

Ah, very refreshing.

- Hello, beautiful lady! - Oh, hey, honey!

Oh, you look so pretty in your floral print.

I love this on you. You look gorgeous.

I need a little of this to rub off on me.

Well, we're coordinating with florals.

I got you a little coffee.

Sonja and I went to New York to meet up with Bethany

because we're representing a skincare line.

It was very exciting.

I wanted to fill you in, 'cause you've been away.

I can't wait to catch up with everyone

and see what's been going on.

- Where do I start, um... - Okay, start.

Luann comes over to see me finally, at the apartment.

Oh, that's nice.

But she was out with Kelly and Dorinda.

Right.

So she tells me, "You know, Kelly really ripped into Dorinda

and made her cry." I was like, "That's refreshing."

- Oh, BS. No. - What?

I don't believe that. I cannot believe that.

Kelly is like, gentle like a little flower.

She's like a flower.

Next thing, I go to the thrift shop and I said to Luann,

"I know it was embarrassing to you

"that I danced with Michael,"

but also, I said to her, I'm sorry, 'cause I know

when you met him, he was married.

And the next time you saw him, he was separating.

So I said, "That's the fastest divorce in history."

I said, "There must not have been any money."

I love and adore you, but why would you...

I'm not gonna apologize for being me.

I'm friends with Luann for decades now.

Sonja, Sonja, it's not your business.

My business was touching his business.

Your business is your friendship with Luann.

- Exactly! - And to keep it special

and beautiful. That's all.

I think the fact that Dorinda and Luann

are in the same building, they all of a sudden developed

a closer friendship than before, and Sonja feels left out.

Listen, let's walk towards the park.

And that makes her defensive with Luann.

You know, Sonja wants Luann all to herself.

Change of scenery.

So you're saying that Dorinda tells Luann what to say?

That's what she's doing, she's poking the way in.

I've been getting along really well with Luann.

You know, I don't have a problem until now. 'Cause I said to her,

"You want me to be the old Sonja, but you don't want me

"to be me, and you always said no problem."

I am happy that Dorinda and Luann are friendly and close

like I am with Ramona, like I am with...

whoever I'm close with.

But for us to be in Florida

on this trip around all of us girls, and not seeing her often?

That's weird.

Now I have to go to Dorinda's stupid party.

I want to be at home, naked. Gardening.

You gave me the weather report.

And hopefully, when we see each other all again

in a group setting,

it's all gone this way. And we can just go forward.

What is the weather report, would you say?

I would say clear skies, but do put your seatbelt on

because we may run into some turbulence.

And you know me, I'm gonna be like this!

Hold my hand!

I think the way to execute this

is get all the... box stuff out, right?

Okay, yeah.

It's the day of this incredible hat luncheon.

And my wonderful Karianne who has flown down

to help pull together this vision that I have.

You really took it to the next level.

Well, I want to show them how it's done,

like we do it at Blue Stone Manor.

Some people paint, I create tablescapes.

Show me a series of platters and I just go crazy.

I'm practically having an orgasm.

You know who's coming? Jules Wainstein.

- Oh, wow. - Do you remember Jules?

- Yeah, you haven't-- - Oh, I love her.

Yeah. Does she live down here permanently?

Yes.

We have Jules Wainstein, who we haven't seen for a while.

Of course, all the girls are going to be there.

We'll do a buffet style here.

It's going to be first come, first served, so whoever's late,

they get a bad hat. That's not my problem.

I've invited Sonja.

And I don't know how that's going to go down.

I mean, is she even going to come?

You know, I think Sonja has... Probably...

There's a lot going on there that we don't know about.

Yeah.

Okay.

I don't want to go to a fucking hat party, do you?

We're not at Wimbledon, it's weird. Okay?

And I also don't really feel like seeing Dorinda

because she's been, you know, feeding my friend Luann

like she's a puppet.

My daughter always says, "You can't go out looking like that."

The girls would always say, "What happened?"

I'm doing the best I can do, okay?

I don't know, you know, I'm very supportive.

If the girls really love this stuff and they want to do it,

I'm gonna go. But I'm not gonna wear that stupid hat.

Okay, my lips are on fire.

This is more difficult than it should be.

Just come up a little higher. Ah! Okay, don't go too close.

Okay, go.

All right, let's go with what I'm gonna wear.

I'm so excited to host a Palm Beach event.

And a themed event. I love a theme.

By the time the party happens, you should see no chaos.

It should appear like fairies dropped down and poof!

It came together.

Pretty!

I appreciate you doing this.

Thank you for having us!

Where's the hats? Let's go.

I thought with the hair up, it makes it a little nicer.

You should be beautifully dressed,

you should have a fantastic playlist.

And then it just starts to crescendo up,

and the whole symphony starts.

- I'm very Palm Beach. - Wow.

What has happened to me?

You get the whole thing? The shoes too?

Hello, hello! Oh, my God, everything looks so beautiful!

Wow. Look at all these beautiful dishes!

The decor is so Palm Beach-like.

With the colors and the flowers and the dishes,

really off-the-charts wonderful.

And the hat girls are here.

Oh! Hey, hat girls! Okay.

- Can I put that on you? - Yeah!

Put it on, come on, queen.

How do you do it? Oh, it's so comfortable.

Oh, I look so good!

Holy moly! You just created a monster.

Look at you, the Triple Crown winner here, look at that!

Jules, baby!

Hi!

- Can you believe you're here? - No!

When did we film last? Ten years ago?

Ten years ago. It was 2016.

Hello! Hello!

See, Greg knows every woman.

We're having a hat lunch here, I'm dead.

Now you get to meet the hat girls.

I'm just really excited

to nurture my friendship with Dorinda.

And I know it's not gonna happen overnight.

They do all the hats for the Kentucky Derby.

Here's a little something I saw for you, it's a little clip.

Aw, you didn't have to do that.

It's the cutest thing.

Every single step towards more fun with my friends.

It's amazing.

This one's gonna be beautiful on you. But you can take

any one you want. It's first come first served.

And I got a hat.

You look amazing.

Oh!

I thought I had to wear my own hat.

No, you get to pick a hat that's left.

- All the way from Miami! - Miami.

I'm a little late because Michael was steaming my pants

with them on.

There could be a forest fire.

If he didn't have the steamer, you would've let him...

All right, so let me try on hats, I guess.

- Yeah, put some hats on. - Where should we try hats?

Sonja's 25 minutes late. Again. I'm starting.

My mother instilled in me that if church started at 11,

you were dressed and ready to go at 10:30.

Give it a nice tilt.

Oh, my goodness!

- Sorry. - I love that.

- No, I love the all white. - Yeah!

All right, let's all get lunch! Let's get lunch, I'm starving.

To just disregard being on time or being respectful,

I think it's a character flaw, I'm sorry.

Oh, my God, this looks so good, Karianne.

Oh. She arrives.

Hello? Oh!

Greg!

She arrives!

We started, 'cause I wasn't sure... what's all this?

You know what? I asked somebody what the theme was today,

and they said, I think dresses.

But I didn't get the memo.

I love this. We... Oh, my God.

- Nothing. - Not a hello or nothing.

Nope.

What's all this?

You know what, I asked somebody what the theme was today

and they said I think dresses.

Sonja, aren't you even gonna greet the hostess?

So what is going on?

- Is that lipstick? Or um... - Lipstick, yeah.

'Cause I got it on YouTube.

Sonja? Aren't you even-even gonna greet the hostess?

You got lipstick on YouTube?

- Yeah. - Hi.

- Yeah. - Oh, so good to see you.

]

Sonja, aren't you even gonna greet the hostess?

- Yeah. - Hi.

Let's try a third time. Let's try a third time.

- Sonja? - Oh, so good to see you.

Sonja, aren't you even gonna greet the hostess and say hello?

I just said hello to you right here.

But you breezed right by me and breezed right by her.

Okay, you know, if we're gonna start like this, the nitpicking,

I'm not doing it.

Oh, well, you can go.

I'm not gonna kiss the ring.

Just because you're putting hats from Wimbeldon...

doesn't make you the Queen Mother.

I didn't even, I can go. Okay.

You were 20 minutes late, which is rude.

You know, what if you're gonna start with that--

25, what time is it right now? 12:35.

When you're done talking, I'll say something.

- Go ahead. You can go. - Are you done talking?

- No, you can go. - Are you done talking?

Just sit, Sonja, sit down.

20, 35 minutes late--

When did our life become a minefield?

She shows up at 45 minutes, you don't kick out Luann.

Already, Dorinda, you're having fights with her left and right.

You have to learn to let things go.

Otherwise they get huge and bigger

and just not good energy.

When did I get so calm? I don't know.

I have to tiptoe around.

Maybe I should be me, but if I'm me it's not good.

- Oh, no, no, no. - I'm sorry I'm late?

And you know what, I moved to Palm Beach to have peace.

And you're blowing up my Zen left and right.

Yeah, but it's rude.

Rude? Well, I live here. And I work.

And I work.

Oh, is this a competition or are we really friends?

You try to be nice. You like to look like you're nice,

but honey, you're not. You're actually...

And I have to say, let's raise a glass--

Luann, you're actually her puppet.

I'm her puppet?

Yes, and it's not elegant.

'Cause people love us together as friends.

I'm nobody's puppet.

Now this is where she goes?

I didn't really see, you know, Sonja make her grand entrance,

so I don't know if she said hello, or didn't say hello,

but why am I getting dragged into this?

What a lifestyle you have.

You dress up, you wanna look like you have money,

so you make everybody else feel bad.

Guess what? I make people feel good walking around like this.

- We need to get her a hat. - Let's get you a hat.

If I don't stop to be, "Oh, my God, Dorinda,

"this party's amazing.

"Oh, my God, your China is awesome."

But I don't really care about those things.

If you want to continue to say I'm crazy and I need help

and it's all about me, you're gonna see crazy.

Lu! Lu! Lu!

- Lu! - Ah-ah, not my cabaret hat.

Lu! I'm gonna throw it where you threw my pillows.

What?

Don't, not the hat. Not the hat.

- What did you do with... - Not the hat.

What did you do with my Christofle vase?

- This is Christofle! - My throat is closing up.

This is French!

Wait, there's plenty of hats.

Here, I got one for you, Sonja, look. Oh, shit. Oh, no!

Oh, don't worry! Home store, two dollars. Don't worry.

Two dollars. Home store.

Yeah, Sonja wants to kind of ruin it for me.

If you're not as happy to be there

as I am as happy to have you there,

then just don't come.

Luann, pick a puppet. Let me speak to the hand.

Oh, Dorinda's up there, "I can't do this.

"Oh, I'm gonna cry.

"Oh, I'm crying 'cause Sonja Morgan and Kelly Bensimon

"have been so mean to me!"

I mean, seriously, who takes themselves so serious?

She's gotta go. Can you do it?

You know what, sit down and get some receipts, Dorinda.

- Sonja. Oh, my God. - Get her out. She's gotta go.

This is a beautiful lunch.

Let's do it outside.

Sonja, let's go outside. Let's go outside.

- Calm down. - Let's go outside.

I don't remember Sonja being like this.

Oh, sorry, I didn't bring a gift.

This is...

It's a lot of anxiety going.

I knew she was gonna go crazy.

I said I don't want her to come.

She's lashing out, there's something wrong here.
