Previously on "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island"...
Speaking of kids, you guys planning on kids anytime?
Rosie's kind of apprehensive.
Yeah, I mean, it was never really my plan to have kids.
It's your decision.
We're definitely looking for relief of symptoms.
Dolores and I thought let's develop a menopause gummy.
Rhode Island is the first state to actually make
menopausal women a protected class
in the workplace.
I haven't felt this good in a long time.
Well, it's your marriage, whatever you wanna do
I respect your decision.
But what I can say is it's still going on.
Someone's trying to pull the wool over my eyes,
I would like to know.
-Oh, my God. -Hey, Brian.
[gasps]
-He's hugging her. -This was two days before polo?
What are we gonna do?
I think she needs to see the video.
We have to let her know.
This is bad.
My father left us homeless.
You were homeless?
You were never homeless in your life.
I don't want to be the victim, but I just said something
and it just got weird.
I did it once! And I apologized!
I'm saying out loud how I felt.
Do you love Alicia? Do you love Alicia?
Stop! -You're not the voice of reason.
Get out of my left ear.
The [bleep] out of my face.
What did I do?
Stop it right now, both of you.
No, no, no, no, no.
I know who you are in your heart.
You are not my best friend.
You are the ----ing devil.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Piece of sh--.
-[horn honks] -Can I go, dickhead?
Oh, okay. No? Okay.
[line ringing]
ALICIA: Okay, what happened?
It didn't go great.
Alicia, I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
And so, she told me that I'm delusional
for thinking that she and I are best friends
or even friends.
She just kept on going and going and she's like,
yeah, I know you! I know how fake you are.
And she's like, you try to ruin people.
I'm like, you sound psycho.
Liz does what she wants
and she's very unapologetically herself.
As am I.
I'm just not as cruel.
She just kept on saying what a awful human being I was.
And that I am disloyal, disingenuous.
I don't know why it affects me so much.
I just need to suck it up.
And that's what I did in my childhood
and that's what I'm gonna do now.
And it's not like, oh, woe is me.
Like, I'm fine. I'm good. I'm good.
I am fine.
Oh, I didn't stick up for you enough?
You were wrong.
ALICIA: You were just like supportive,
which any normal person would do.
It's ----ing insane if she thought you did anything wrong.
Liz, like, I thought she was like...
family to me.
And so, that's what kills me, too,
'cause like out of respect for my family,
she should have never questioned me,
never attacked me, and never talk to me like that.
You know what, like, I love her,
and I know this is where the flip flop in me is but, like,
she's ----ing mean.
It's honestly draining sitting down and talking to her.
So I'm done.
And it's gonna be very awkward
the next group outing that we're at.
I feel really bad about this 'cause I just want --
I'm gonna keep telling you this so please do nothing wrong.
Honestly, I want you to be okay. All right, bye.
-All right, bye. -Love you.
[sighs]
But it's quiet right now. Hello, ladies.
-How are you? -I get to see my husband.
He's coming somewhere.
There he is. -Hey.
Hey, B. -What's going on?
What'd you bring me?
I brought you goodies.
-Excellent. Come on in. -Can you check my toe?
Your gimp toe? Let's do it.
In the middle of this summer, my toe had
caught the lip of a vanity
in the guest house and just lifted my toenail when
I was about to jump on a zoom call.
I'm like, aah!
I hate sitting in the chair.
'cause I never know what's gonna happen to me.
It's always clean. Let's see what we do to you.
Thank you for squeezing me in today, love.
Of course. You sleep with me, you know.
He numbed me with novocaine and then removed the toenail.
I didn't even feel it.
But I was more distraught at the fact
that here we are in the summer.
There goes my pedicure.
So what happened? You hit it again?
I didn't hit it. I just want it to look better.
I've been using that oil that you gave me
just so it heals better.
You won't have an old lady nail.
You know, I was thinking,
this summer flew by. We haven't had a party yet.
Why don't we throw a party?
Because we haven't had a single one like an end of summer bash.
What do you think? -You're Lebanese.
How about like a hookah party? -Arabian Nights.
-Arabian party. Yeah. -Oh, that would be fun.
Remember at our pre-New Year's Eve party,
we had the belly dancer? -Yeah, you could get her.
I will find almost any excuse to throw a party.
I love a good theme.
Maybe we can put -- wear your best Arabian attire.
Leave it up to them. -Yes.
We always have wet and wild parties in the summer.
We've had your bye bye to summer party.
We have our annual pre-New Year's Eve party.
I'll rock a vest with just pants and no shirt.
I'll be like Aladdin.
You better work on that six-pack.
It's almost there. I got like a four-pack.
This Arabian Nights party reflects my culture.
We'll have some belly dancing, the cuisine,
Arabian attire.
I might bring a camel.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it.
I like to plan and this is such short notice.
So we'll invite all the ladies from the group.
All?
With one minor exception.
We can't have Jo-Ellen in there.
You know, I've gone into everything with great
intentions, but every time we blink
Jo-Ellen's always stirring the pot.
It's like she makes a point of it and we don't --
I don't want the party to be that way.
No, I don't want that in my house.
I really have such a good heart that a part
of me feels bad, even despite all the bad
that's been done toward me and my family.
Yet I believe in energy, and I can't have
bad energy in my house.
There's a greater probability
of a genie popping out of one of the bottles at my party
than Jo-Ellen being allowed to step foot in my backyard.
Jo-Ellen and Gary on the blacklist,
and then everybody else.
I hate to say it, but I mean, it has to happen.
What are you gonna do? We wanna have a good time.
I'll have a police detail
and I'll have security.
So whoever starts sh-- is gonna get tossed one way or the other.
Yeah, exactly.
Cheers. Cheers.
I'm sorry that I'm making tacos tonight, babe.
It's just that I really love the Taco Bell seasoning packet.
I don't dislike tacos.
What's gonna be easy for all of us to have?
-Tacos are great. -Except for Dawson,
who will probably have macaroni and cheese.
Yeah, I'll have macaroni and cheese too.
Jared isn't a picky eater.
He's just a basic eater.
This can opener's not walking.
I am a foodie.
Like, I wanna go out of my way to try new
restaurants because of what I see on their Instagram pages.
And Jared's like, no, no, no. We'll go to the same restaurants
just because of the sake of nostalgia.
Jared, you're making me really nervous.
I know, I know. I have a good handle on it.
Jared's not a foodie.
He's just bland.
You're very good at slicing.
I do this every day, but I should
be using a bigger knife.
I hate telling you this.
It's not like sandwich slices, it's like...
Do you want diced? -Yeah.
Oh, that's quite all right.
It takes two seconds. Not big deal.
Well, what's with Audrey's? Your lease is up when?
Lease is up fall. Fall, winter.
I have such mixed feelings about the Audrey's
lease ending, but I would feel like I don't
want Jared to give it up, but I also think
that he would kind of want to give it up because
he would probably feel immense relief and like,
kind of like long-term happiness
letting it go, but immediate sadness.
I don't know. There's pros and cons.
Like what I love so much about Audrey's is...
Yeah. I don't know. It's tough to talk about.
Obviously not in a bad way.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm not gonna cry.
You're not?
Maybe if it was smaller, if Audrey's
was a smaller place because it's so big.
It's -- yeah, it's big. It's big.
Listen, like, Audrey's has taught me a lot, and I do think
Audrey's has been successful in a lot of different areas.
It has been even if you close it at a year, it was a success.
The lease is up in September, but he wants to ask to
extend it a little bit because of, like,
he has all these reservations for after parties and he doesn't
want to leave them high and dry for their wedding.
They're fine. It's an after party. It's not their reception.
So let me be provocative.
If she wanted you to sell it, would you sell it, would you?
Sell it or just close it?
-Or close it? Yeah. -Yeah, probably.
Well, I'm not going to ever give him that ultimatum.
Okay. That's what I'm saying.
It sucks to say, but the most beneficial
thing would be to close it.
Really? -I don't want that.
I don't want that.
But I'm trying to think of what the best decision
for Ashley and I as a couple and a family are.
If it was making you happy and the money was there and you felt
like you were providing, of course I'd let you keep it.
The problem is I could be doing something
different that might be more financially successful.
However, Audrey's is becoming financially successful,
it's fulfilling.
We're finding a decent work life balance.
I just think the idea of selling it, it just.
Yeah, I don't want to sell it.
We're gonna get you more, buddy. We're gonna get you more.
Coming up next...
-I'm, like, afraid to say it. -Why are you afraid?
Because it's really messed up what we learned at the mansion.
Do you know about the video?
-This is so exciting. -It really is.
And this could not be more beautiful.
Just scraped to the noble architecture of these columns.
We're here to see the stars.
-Hi. -Hi.
-I'm Karen. -I'm so starstruck right now.
-Thanks for coming. -Oh, my goodness.
-Thank you for everything. -Hi, Liz. How are you?
What an honor to meet you both.
-Should we sit down? -Yeah.
I have to tell you, when I first saw
the legislation, I was like, this is incredible.
And the next morning I woke up and I said, was I dreaming that?
I am so proud of our little state.
We are the first state
to make menopausal women
a protective class in the workplace.
We did a lot of work, strategic work,
to pass that bill.
I think they should throw a parade. I want a parade, too.
I do. I want a parade for them.
In the workplace,
there's certain laws that protect you if,
you know, say you're pregnant.
This bill means this is just
now for menopause because it can be quite debilitating.
It's important that women are able to
keep their jobs through it.
We're doing our best to put out more information about this.
And Liz and I are also working on something
that can help women with their symptoms.
And it's really important to get women to even not be
shameful about it, too.
After they learned about it,
a lot of people in the committee were
sitting in the back, like, oh, okay.
When I knew it would be introduced into the labor
committee, and Karen on the House side is the vice chair
of labor, I befriended the chairman of labor
and I said, listen, I need you to give me 10 minutes to
explain to your almost
all-male committee why
this is important to women.
And when I was done, several of them approached me and said,
I didn't know anything about this.
I didn't know my wife was going through this menopause.
It affects your sleeping,
your temperature regulation, your mood, your thinking.
When it first started happening
to me, I was embarrassed by it.
My husband and I have
friends, like young guys from the boating community.
And one of them comes up
to me and he's like, I heard you're
going through menopause.
I'm like, what? No, I'm not. Who told you that?
Yes, of course you are, you unhinged nut.
Imagine how many women are forced to
into early retirement that we're not aware of.
For something that could be temporary.
Like, you're having heart palpitations,
you're feeling exhaustion, brain fog.
You're like, I can't do my job anymore and this will pass.
And then you're like, what happened?
You know, so this is an issue in the workforce because
when you're at that age that you can
advance in your career, you're suddenly confronted with
something. -All these things.
So it really is in the test. It's a workforce issue.
And that's why it was really important
that Karen came on board because she has
an important role on the labor committee in the House.
So I'm not there yet, but.
You're the next generation, and it will come.
And I feel like our age have to be pioneers because no
one before us was able to do it.
Dolores and I are developing a product
utilizing the cannabis plant components toward menopause.
Thank you.
Ooh, falling. How am I gonna do this?
Don't fly away. Oh, thank God.
Oh, the door's ringing.
-Hi. -I love you.
I brought this to cheer you up.
Oh, my God. These are tastes absolutely incredible.
Be careful.
This put me in such a good mood
'cause you know I like pink and balloons.
I love you, Rosie. I really love you, Rosie.
This is exactly what I needed after the ride of hell.
When people hear the word homeless,
I didn't want you to say you're homeless 'cause you weren't.
Okay. You weren't. Immediately say I was sorry.
You brought it up. You brought it up.
My true colors are ----ing beautiful
'cause I would be there for you.
Stop.
Liz should've came to my house with balloons and ducks.
That's what I would have done if I crushed someone's soul.
Celina, we have to decorate these ducks. I need your help.
Like, do you know what ducking is with jeeps?
Oh, you put the ducks on them.
Yeah. And you go out and you find other jeeps,
and then you put ducks on them.
And so we have to, like, decorate our ducks.
The pink ones come with crowns and sunglasses.
I'm dead. -And bejewels.
Oh, my God. I love her.
Ducking is when you have a jeep wrangler,
and if you see another jeep wrangler,
you can stop and put a duck on their car somewhere.
And then when they come out to the car, they see it,
and they're like, oh, my God, I have a duck.
I get ducked all the time.
I love getting ducked.
I really love these pink ducks.
I don't think you understand. -I know you like birds.
That's why I was like, look, I can't get you,
like, a real bird, but
at the very least could get you one of these.
-I know it. -Disco duck.
She's ready for Studio 54.
Speaking of Liz. She called me.
Liz?
Yeah, I did not answer because I wasn't ready.
I don't want to even fight back with her because it's like,
too much family history, you know?
And talking about it with my family, it just, like,
brought back a lot of memories.
For me to even, like, open up.
And then she attacked, you know? You weren't homeless.
You guys had money. -[Bleep] her.
-I know. -No, that's awful.
She disrespected me by doing that for you.
It was nice to have, like, my family, like...
-Validate you. -Validate me.
But also be like, I've been through a lot,
so don't discredit me, you know?
-Yeah. -And that's the thing too.
I'm like, I know that I'm gonnahave to see her.
What are you gonna do this weekend for
this Arabian Nights party? -I don't know.
Thinking about having a party and
wanted to see if you guys were free on Friday.
You and the guys.
-Is everybody coming? -Everybody will be coming
except for Jo-Ellen and Gary.
I don't want to see her.
I mean, you're gonna have to see her.
So, like, what are you gonna do?
I don't know. That's the thing.
'Cause I don't wanna be in
this position anymore that I feel that way.
It's just she put me in a bad situation, you know?
Do you think you're gonna talk to Kelsey?
No.
Maybe we just have our own party this weekend and we don't.
Right. I'd be like, oh, sorry, guys, I'm so sick.
-Pull a Rulla. -I have a wicked bad cough.
Although Rulla really is sick and I feel bad.
Yeah, I know.
I haven't talked to her about the video.
She needs to know what's going on.
You think that I should just, like, go and talk to her?
Obviously, I'd rather not do it at her party,
but she needs to know the truth.
We can't all just keep talking about her behind her back.
It's not fair. I don't like when they do that about me.
Alicia's closest to her, so obviously Alicia should
be the one to tell her.
But I just don't know if Alicia has it in her to do this.
Hey, mommy, should I do, like, the crown on the side?
That's such a good idea. Look at how cute that is.
I know, because it looks like a fancy Blake the Boss.
Look at Celina, I gave her pink hair.
-Oh, I love. -Look at how good I am.
Who knew I was good with these little duck ducks?
Coming up...
I don't want to fight with you. -I felt --
-I know. -...like tag teamed.
Right? I just thought you would understand more than anybody.
Jared, how long are you going to need to get ready? Thank you.
Hi.
Are you with your kids?
Hi, Gary.
What's going on? Oh, Rosie's here.
I totally forgot. I'm so sorry.
I was like, great. I'll just sit here quietly.
We actually got invited
to Rulla's Arabian night party tonight.
Rulla is having an Aladdin themed party?
Does Rulla think that she's like Princess Jasmine?
Like, does she think she has a lamp?
And like, Genie, tell my husband not to cheat on me.
Have fun tonight. -Bye. I'll try. Bye.
Can I have a botanical kettle one and soda?
Cheers to me.
Cheers. -Wow.
Look at this.
Whoo. I feel like I need a stack of ones. You look great, B.
Trying to give you a little dance.
Oh, I like it. All right.
Brian and I, we're good. We're ready to roll.
We're ready to host. I'm ready for tonight.
Kick it off, baby.
You look gorgeous. I love the outfit. You nailed it.
Cheers to...
-[speaking Arabic] -[speaking Arabic]
Hi!
You two.
I have to kiss her first. -Of course.
I don't blame you. -How are you?
I don't know why I thought that you would do double kiss.
I always do. Actually, Lebanese usually do three.
I haven't seen Rulla in so long.
I'm kind of interested to see how she's doing being
next to Brian, hosting this party with him.
-Oh, hey, how's it going, Brian? -How you've been?
Nice to see you. -Good to see you. Looking great.
How you been? How's everything?
How do you look at somebody in
the face and like have a conversation that's just
like, we know that you're seeing another woman.
Welcome. Come on in. -Thank you.
Yeah, I would love to.
I love an Arabian night. You know, I hope that they have,
like a magic carpet ride, a camel.
I feel like a donkey even throw in a donkey.
-What? -But I'm excited.
I feel like there's gonna be a lot of people there,
so if I see Lizzie, it's not gonna
be so awkward, you know?
Why are you stressing out about this? You guys
have known each other forever.
Big deal. You had one issue.
Yeah. -Get over it.
I'm sure she'll be fine.
I just will always have my guard up with Liz.
I have to, like, put on my armor to be around her.
My heart's racing with her.
Is Alicia and Billy coming?
I've not spoken to Alicia.
She ignored me. -Really? Still?
Yeah, you know, Ger, I blurted out what
I blurted out and then apologized.
I'll see her, I'll smile, I'll be cordial.
-Why is she that mad? -Apparently.
I think that my reaction was knee jerk.
If I could take it back, I would.
I guess the word homeless has different meanings.
Anyway, she wants to talk, we'll talk. Come what may,
I just want to have a good time, if that's possible.
Good.
Hi, Kelsey. I have the same outfit.
I love that.
I feel like we are, like, parallel.
Yes, I'm loving it.
I'm glad you could make it tonight.
-Thank you for having us. -Cheers. Get a drink.
-What do you want? -Vodka soda.
Anybody else? -I'm all right.
Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it.
Jared has to leave me in 10 minutes.
About 10 minutes. -15.
Because Fridays I do trivia.
And speaking of trivia, I wanted to apologize for you guys.
-Kelsey, you're fine. -No, it was very funny.
It was all very, very entertaining.
So the first time you yelled, I was like, oh, sh--, I did.
But, like, I don't think anybody even heard me yell.
Who's tired of yelling and fighting all the time?
Because I am.
Holy sh--.
-I missed something, didn't I? -We had trivia.
Kelsey and Rosie, they were just so in love with each other.
-Oh. -She's wearing a fire outfit.
Man, oh, man, I'm jealous.
Oh, my God. I love this, like --
What are you doing, you weirdo? -Hey, Rich looks great too.
The best thing me and Rosie can do at this point is to coexist.
You don't have to be friends with me.
I don't have to necessarily be friends with you.
We could just be...
kosher.
-Hello, hi. -Good to see you.
-Hi, my friend. -Kind of match.
How's it going buddy? You look great.
-You look beautiful. -Hey, thank you.
-I'm the evil Aladdin. -You're the evil Jasmine.
Yes. I was just thinking. -How you doing?
-Good to see you. -Good to see you.
So anyways, where's the food?
I'm gonna go canoodle.
I have accepted that Kelsey is never gonna see me.
She's never gonna understand me.
Come on, guys.
She's never gonna ask me basic questions
and that she just wants to hate me.
All right, babe, you do have to leave.
Oh, like a little after seven.
-No, it's fine. -Pass d'Oeuvres.
This is gonna be so nice, Billy.
It's great.
Checking the seeds.
Rulla, I'm so sorry I interrupted.
You look incredible.
Absolutely gorgeous.
So happy to see you. I love that color in that dress.
Like, forget it. Everything.
She's so excited about her party.
I want her to have fun at her party.
Her and her husband look like they having --
like they're doing great.
Rosie, you look absolutely gorgeous.
It's very hard for me. I don't want to tell her.
I can't just do it at her party. I don't want to be like Liz.
I don't want to ruin all the fun.
Have you seen Liz yet?
-No, I haven't. -I don't think she's here yet.
Cheese pies? Heck yeah. Thank you.
Oh, wow. Very cute.
-It looks like a weed leaf. -Do you not drink, Jared?
No, I drank, I just had one. But I gotta get going.
I gotta go to hosting trivia. -Tonight?
I know.
-I like those pants. -Thank you.
Slightly see through. -Slightly.
Slightly see through. That's always a good thing.
You look very pretty tonight.
I love you, babe. You can just go.
Alright, I gotta go. Good luck. I'll talk to you.
-All right, love you. -Love you too.
Sorry. Okay, love you.
Bye. -I hope this is a belly dancer.
-Lizzy. Oh God. -You look fantastic.
The belly dancer is here.
You look beautiful.
Where is everyone else?
-Alicia's here too? -Are you nervous?
What are we nervous about?
She's gonna see Liz for the first time.
-Oh, my God. Liz isn't here yet. -Yep, she's here.
Oh, sorry. That is nerve-wracking.
Very nice.
-Beautiful. -This is gorge. Turn around.
Oh, my God, so good.
-Hi, everyone. -Look at you.
Are you gonna belly dance for us tonight?
Oh, there's Rosie, who's over there,
who's talking to Rosie.
Oh, Alicia. -Do you think
Liz should come up and approach you or are
you gonna go up and approach her?
You know what? I haven't thought about it.
I kind of just go off a vibe. -Yeah.
I mean, just be the bigger person
if the opportunity arises.
Not that I can really give you that advice,
because I'm definitely not being the bigger person.
I saw Kelsey, I didn't talk to her, and
I'm, like, fine with that.
I'm actually feeling divisions at this Arabian Nights party.
There's friction between Rosie and Kelsey right now.
Alicia and Liz just had this huge fight
with Rulla figure out a magic carpet ride because
I would love to escape the awkwardness.
Cheers, ladies.
Cheers, guys. -Oh, look at this.
That's so cool.
I didn't get Brian with my belly dancing moves.
I didn't need to do much to get Brian.
He was instantly mesmerized by me.
Who wouldn't be?
Oh, wow. Look at this.
-Wow. That's beautiful. -I love a good belly dancer.
-Oh, me too. -How cool.
-She's got it down. -Wow.
Brian, you better close those eyes.
Yikes.
I'm sure Brian has had a lot of bellies
and titties shaking in front of him.
This is just another day for him,
Billy, I really just want there to be peace.
Just be able to, like, be in the same place
together where isn't that hostility?
You know, Rosie can be a little stubborn with stuff,
but I think she can get there as well.
A little splashy splash.
Hi, guys. -How are you?
I haven't seen you.
How are you?
-Good to see you.
-Hi, Liz. -Hi.
How are you doing?
-I love the way you're going. -Bye.
Bye, guys. -We're right here.
We're not far.
No, you guys don't have to go far.
As much as I never want to
talk to Liz again, I just don't want that negative energy around
me. I just want to feel free.
I don't want to feel like I don't like that feeling.
You know, I would never hate you.
I can't hate you. I don't want to fight with you.
I really don't.
I wasn't trying to attack you, and I felt
like you thought I was attacking you. I was sad.
I just thought you would understand more than anybody.
And I just felt I needed to take time from. You know how I am.
I never got a minute to give you compassion.
-Yeah. -Because I felt --
Like tag teamed.
And never once did Jo-Ellen say, Alicia,
you know this is heart. -Right?
I'm gonna make it really simple.
I blurted something out. I should not have. I apologize.
In no means did I mean to belittle.
I am not mad.
I don't wanna fight with you ever.
Listen, I love you. Cheers. And I really do.
This is a huge deal for Liz, I think, to apologize.
I hope she means it. I hope she realized how much
anxiety and pain she caused me that night.
I will forgive, but I'm not gonna forget.
I love you.
All right. We're good. Seriously, I do love you.
And I'm sorry if I said anything that hurt you too. I really am.
Things will just bellow out of
my mouth before I have time to think about them.
But I never really mean to harm or hurt anyone.
Ever. I'm not like this heartless, angry, you know?
It's just not who I am.
-Hey, guys. -Hi.
She was just saying she was cold.
It's nice and warm on here.
That's why I've been hanging out with the heater.
We're gonna try to warm it up.
You know, just try to,
like, resolve, like, what's transpired.
We should be able to come to a party and have
a good time and not worry about hostilities
from what has transpired before.
You think you girls can figure it out?
I don't want to have a problem. I haven't been trying to
have a problem all summer.
I just want to, like, get along.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm not trying to beat a dead horse.
I did a joke.
I think I was maybe too quick to joke.
And I apologize for hurting your feelings.
I think it's important to say, like, that's not a real apology.
This is the worst apology I've ever gotten in my entire life.
I apologize for my reaction.
We should just, like, just like, move forward.
-I agree. -We can cheers to that. I think.
I'm sure she'll start something else up again.
But the difference will be that I'm no
longer taking the bait.
I just want to move forward.
Same. Genuinely.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.
If we can coexist for the friend group and not be down
each other's throats, that would be preferred.
All I'm asking is for you not to lie.
Like, it does not take much effort.
Is it bad that this is only soda water?
-No, you can't do that. -You can't say that.
You've already started the hex.
-Get a vodka. -Just a little splash of vodka.
-I'm having the best time. -You look beautiful tonight.
I love the eyeliner it's like, so good.
I feel like you've missed so much recently.
I really have.
I haven't seen you since polo and I feel
like so much has happened.
Alicia told me a little bit about the girls trip.
It was a lot. -In a good way or a bad way?
You were a big topic of conversation.
Why? Why? Why?
-I'm, like, afraid to say it. -Why are you afraid?
Because it's really messed up.
Like what we learned at the mansion.
But do you know about the video?
I know nothing about a video.
Rosie didn't even give me a heads up.
I just feel like you need to know what's going on.
I'm a deer in headlights.
Do you want to know what is in the video?
Alicia told me a little bit about the girls trip.
You were a big topic of conversation.
Why? Why? Why?
Do you know about the video?
I don't know nothing about the video.
Do you want what is in the video?
Sure.
Jo-Ellen called all of us downstairs.
She showed all of us in the living room in the mansion.
And Rulla, I think you should know what's in the video.
It was dated the day before polo.
So it's not like an old video.
And how do you know that dating is valid?
Because it was on the car. I mean, it was just this blonde
woman, like, kissing and hugging.
I just felt weird having this information
and not telling you about it.
Everybody is talking about it and I just
felt like if it was me
and that happened, I would want someone to tell me.
Why aren't you telling me any of this?
Because I don't want to know.
And I'm pissed that I had to know and I'm sorry.
We wanted to protect you and we didn't want to bring it up to
you, but now it's, like, out there.
I'm not really appreciating the fact that Rosie chose
this time and place to share this information.
I haven't seen any video.
Do I even see this thing or consider seeing this thing?
How do I verify this? Do I get upset with Brian?
Who do I believe?
Like, I don't want to process this right now.
I don't have the bandwidth.
But it was very odd to be into a room, you know.
Not yet. They're talking to me about some video the day before
polo that came out, and I was like, I don't want to know it.
It's just like canoodling, kissing, hugging,
leaving her house like, there's a timestamp on it.
Like, it's -- -Change the timestamp.
I don't know who Jo-Ellen is getting her information from.
I trust her about as much as gas station sushi.
It's almost like the Jo-Ellen bug
coming through again even when she's not there.
You can disguise yourself with designer,
but the bottom line is you're still a cockroach.
Everybody's seen it.
Nobody's telling you. -Who cares?
It's not like Ho-Ellen. I mean, Jo-Ellen is
is our friend, I mean, there's so many things about her.
But I don't say I take the high road.
Rosie, I feel that you're not coming from a bad place.
Hey, guys. Hi. What's going on?
Can we all do a shot together?
Let's go do a shot. -Fireball
Here. Let's go this way.
-I love a fireball. -I'll get fireball.
-Thank you. -We tried our best.
I'm trying to move past everything,
and just when I feel like we're moving in the right direction,
another bomb gets dropped on me.
And I just -- I don't know what to do with it.
I just have to take time
to answer questions and
find out information and just figure this out.
And I am going to figure it out for myself. I have my ways.
-Want a shot? -Oh, gosh.
Ashley's gonna do a shot. Liz, you want a shot?
Liz, we're doing shots.
-Cheers. -Bitches love a summer.
That's what we should cheers to. Bitches love summer. Ready?
One, two, three.
-Bitches love summer. -Whoo.
Cheers.
-Let's do a selfie. -Okay.
I do love you guys. It's a trauma bond.
-A trauma bond. -You know what?
It is a little bit of a trauma bond.
Snail. I'm already sandy.
Hey, Lizzy.
K-slay!
You look cute. Oh, my...
So Gucci. Oh, look at your little.
You look so cute down there.
You find anything? -Not yet.
You know how you're supposed to, like, pound the sand to, like,
see get the bubbles?
I haven't seen the bubbles yet.
Rhode Island is known for, like, its clams and
clamming and the, like,
I don't know the art of clamming.
I haven't done this in so many years.
I haven't done this since I was a kid.
These ones are, like, more underground,
so you have to wait for, like, their air bubble to come up.
It's the nature of the beast. Cohogging. Right?
I'm gonna make Bill cook these.
Whatever we get later. -I love it.
I'm gonna take these off because it's hot.
Oh, there's mad bubbles right here.
It's, like, really laborious, isn't it?
I don't know what that word means.
All right, where the [bleep] are the clams?
I'm getting mad. -Babe.
I don't know. Clams are a hiding.
It's the end of the summer.
They've got them already.
-You believe summer's over? -No, I'm mad about it.
I'm excited about Block Island.
I knew you would be.
I love it this time.
Listen, I feel like it's a good place for, like,
the rest of the girls and the husbands to come.
Like an end of the summer
overnight on the islands.
Seafood summer. Block Island.
It just makes sense, you know.
It's the end of the summer.
It's good to get everyone together
and close out the summer on, like, a good note.
Everyone's relationships have been all over
the map, and especially Liz
and Jo-Ellen and their little issues.
I feel like me as a friend,
I'm responsible, like, bringing them together.
I know it's a special place for you.
It's so special.
I feel like you're at peace there always.
Liz has good memories at Block Island.
It's where her and Gerry got married.
I know this is Liz's safe space.
Every time she's on Block Island, she's in a good mood.
She's like, what better place
to mend a friendship on Block Island for Liz.
Did you invite Rosie?
-Well, I don't want to -- -You can't.
I would never. I just don't believe in that.
I was not included to her Capo night.
It just makes you the bigger person, you know?
So Jo-Ellen will obviously be invited.
What could possibly go wrong? What could go wrong?
Nothing.
I hear Jolie coming. Jojo.
She got her carriage.
Yeah, she definitely has a carriage.
Hi, honey.
Oh, man. You brought the whole truck up here.
The whole gang's here. So we're going to Block Island.
I want to make sure my mom's ready.
How many nights? Just one.
Yeah, we're staying for the night.
-The block. -We're going the Block.
Everyone's going on this trip.
Everyone and their husbands, you know.
-So we're staying overnight. -Everybody's going?
Yeah.
-Rulla going, too? -Yep. Rulla and Brian are going.
I think Brian's going.
-Brian. -So they're gonna be there.
-That's one thing. -What about...
Queen Bee Elizabeth?
What about Queen Bee Elizabeth?
When was the last time you seen her?
That was when we tried to have our makeup lunch.
-Oh, it was that long ago? -Yeah.
You weren't there the night of Capo.
Why do you have to be so combative?
I'm trying to be there for you and
you act like a ----ing asshole to me.
I'm one of your best friends.
You disingenuous mother----er.
Why, Liz? Why?
Don't walk away. You weren't there the night.
The day that we went to lunch and tried to like, make up.
What did I do that night? What did I do in the past?
Why are you so mean?
I've been nothing but a good friend to you.
I love. I look at you as one of my best friends.
Stop saying we're best friends.
We have never been best friends.
Like, she was awful. She was awful.
But this friendship means something to me
that I don't want it to end.
I mean, Liz and I have been extremely close.
I wouldn't let anyone else treat me like this.
Liz doesn't respect me and she, from what she said,
doesn't trust me, doesn't like me.
We've never been friends.
And so I think if she pulls this again,
like, there's no coming back.
You know, I don't know.
I don't know what she's gonna say.
So how are you gonna deal with Jo-Ellen on Block Island?
I mean, whatever she brings, she brings.
I'll do it by the moment. You know what I mean?
I think that for me, a weight is
lifted so she can come
at me and say, whatever the worst of the worst, I put my
hands on her, it's never, okay, I did this.
I'll handle it in the moment.
But I think, really, I don't care.
To be honest.
I deserve an apology. When we sat down for lunch.
Give you an apology. She doesn't seem like the apologizing type.
Maybe she's had time to sit and think about this.
Have you ever felt so far that you are
actually wrong on something?
Like sometimes you like -- -No.
I know that my reactions are ----ed up. I do know it.
But I know that they're coming from
a place of me looking over my shoulder.
You know what I mean?
It's just rich when someone
who hurts you becomes the victim.
Jo-Ellen has a crazy way of doing something
insanely bad to you.
And then you react, and then she comes back
to you and she's like, you hurt me.
I think there's a part of you that likes to escalate.
I'm here to make it better. I'm here to make it better.
You don't try to make anything better ever.
-Why are you so cruel to me? -'Cause it's the ----ing truth.
Yeah, I'm sure I said terrible things I didn't expect to say.
But you walked in there expecting to say these
things to me.
So what I'm saying back to you,
you're deserving it, and that's that.
I think, like, a lot of me is responding
to something I think was premeditated.
You can call that paranoia.
But, like, even paranoids have enemies.
Well, she fought with Kelsey.
-You're fake as [bleep]. -[Bleep] me?
She fought with Alicia.
My true colors are ----ing beautiful.
Yeah, but, you know, this time it's, like, it's me.
How many times can I just keep on getting,
like, knocked back down?
You gotta kinda, like, put it to bed, kinda, though.
You're on an island. You can't go anywhere.
Next on this season finale of
"The Real Housewives of Rhode Island"...
ASHLEY: Block Island to Rhode Islanders
is their Caribbean.
-The tide is high. -It is rough.
I hope that this is not a foreshadow of how
the weekend's gonna go.
I think that we have a genuine friendship. Do you?
Admitting, like, yeah, I [bleep]ed up,
I was videotaped.
She said, if you have proof, get me proof.
If you want to see it, it's there for you.
Brian was arrested for tracking me.
Rulla, like, what are you gonna do?
