In the episode, Sutton met her friend, actress Jennifer Tilly, for lunch in Malibu. However, the location reminded her of her final summer with her ex-husband, Christian Stracke, whom she separated from in 2016.
Jennifer touched on the sensitive topic of Christian’s new relationship, and Sutton admitted he was dating her former friend.
In her confessional, she revealed that the two families were once close and had raised their children together. However, neither her friend nor Christian told her about their new romance, which left her feeling betrayed.
“I had to hear it from my son,” she shared.

In the Hamptons, Dorit continued adjusting to her separation from Paul Kemsley after the couple filed for divorce in 2025.
Following a brief FaceTime with her daughter, which included a surprise appearance from her ex, Dorit went shopping with Kyle and Rachel.
“I think the only difference in my shopping habits, since I’ve been separated, I find I’m not buying quite as impulsively or as much,” she confessed.

Moments later, she was checking out with a $4,589.50 bill, and her credit card was declined. She managed to pay with another card and refused to admit that she has a spending problem.
Kyle pointed out her “crazy” shopping spree while chatting with Boz. She argued that Dorit was spending “too much money,” especially with the divorce proceedings looming over her. However, neither woman was ready to confront her yet.

Later, the housewives met for dinner with Rachel’s parents, where the topic of divorce resurfaced. Rachel, who filed for divorce from Rodger Berman in 2025, revealed it had been exactly one year since her life “broke apart.”
She reflected on the impact her separation had on her parents, admitting that her ex-husband “was (like) a son” to them. Despite this, Rachel found it “easy” to end the marriage after Rodger confessed to having an affair.

Elsewhere, Erika discussed her legal troubles with her therapist, sharing that she had an upcoming trial and was being sued for $25 million on top of a $10 million tax bill left by her ex-husband, Thomas Girardi.
She also discussed facing domestic ab*se at the hands of her ex. The trauma from the incident and her upcoming legal battles left Erika feeling lost and crushed.
Meanwhile, Boz took her daughter to San Diego to visit her boyfriend, Keely Watson. Amid their plans to eventually marry, Boz felt concerned about being unable to conceive a child with Keely.
While Keely reassured Boz, she seemed uncertain, leaving viewers to tune in next week for more answers about their future.
