#RHONY Recap: Ramona Singer Checks Bethenny Frankel’s Nasty Attitude After Confronting Her Porn Past!

The Real Housewives of New York begins in the Hamptons, where the ladies are hunkering down for a weekend away. We see Luann’s gorgeous Sag Harbor home, before hopping over the Bethenny’s place, where Bethenny and Carole are settling in. Bethenny dishes that Sonja has been gossiping behind Dorinda and Luann’s backs, before we jump to Sonja, who is confirming Bethenny’s tea—spilling to Tinsley. Sonja is still clinging to last season’s drama, and even the rookie notes that her friend needs to let it go already. Back in Sag, Dorinda, Lu and Victoria are eating tacos in the kitchen, and Dorinda soon launches in on Sonja. Dorinda reveals a photo of Sonja with a shower stripper, and concludes that Sonja is jealous of her stripper-free existence. Sonja reveals that she’s cool about the upcoming weekend, and that she regrets shutting Dorinda out of her tea party. Bethenny and Carole discuss the hysteria potential of the weekend, while Carole continues to drone on about the three-day-away election. Her fiery optimism is dwindling—her journalist lightbulb slowly beginning to blip red. We learn that Ramona is dumb as rocks about politics—but is actually backing the winner. Bethenny snitches that Carole is a pompous know-it-all, and one high-anxiety nag.

Luann, Dorinda, and Victoria motor away on Luann’s boat, as Luann reminds us that she will forever be a breezy countess. Meanwhile, Bethenny and Carole are hitting up an acupuncturist, because Carole is about to melt into a pile of glue from election stress. Bethenny gets poked full of holes—and the pro proclaims Carole’s tongue full of icky stress cooties. Bethenny is going through hell with her ex — and uses needles and suck-cups to extract the horror. Meanwhile, Luann, Dorinda and Victoria buzz around on the water, enjoying the beautiful fall day. Bravo manages to wreck the mood by rewinding Tom’s canoodle scandal from last season.

The first group dinner is next, and the ladies gather for the first hen gathering of the episode. Ramona dishes on Avery’s college life, and we hear that her new mug has allowed her to blend in as a sorority sis. Ramona shares a photo — informing Carole and Bethenny that not offering a compliment is déclassé. Bethenny looks panicked, but quickly cosigns Ramona’s breathtaking and youthful beauty. The crew hasn’t been all together since the reunion — and Dorinda is nervous that the B in charge might still be cranky. They all share a group cringe over election suspense, and pair off to titter about voting day. Dorinda dramatically babbles to Carole about Hannah’s future as a chatterbox stripper, a sure career bet if Trump secures the presidency. Bethenny snarks about Carole’s political snobbery, but Carole begs to differ, because her election party is open to even dumb people. Bethenny and Ramona roll their eyes in unison in Carole’s direction, before the convo shifts from politics to family.

Bethenny shares that Brynn is in first grade, and Ramona uses the segue to address some old film footage, starring Bethenny’s boobs. Bethenny’s bad acting and boob shots are circulating the internet, and Ramona is concerned for Brynn’s innocent naiveté about her x-rated mother.  Bethenny snarks that Brynn is rather young to be intentionally frightened by horror movies. Bethenny blows off Ramona’s dramatic concern, while explaining that she did a few porny scenes long ago, to break into the acting world. Ramona is peeved that she was left out of her beloved bestie’s pup adoptions and all parental boob discussions. Her point is dubbed silly, and the cast laughs it off. Ramona overreacts, and continues to rant and rave about Bethenny not embracing her soft core advice. Bethenny and Ramona snark about each other from opposite sides of the table — and Ramona slams Bethenny as a biotch in a confessional spot. The B is finally coaxed out, and she calls out Luann and Ramona for the rude chatter. Bethenny shades Ramona’s look of utter disgust, and Ramona dishes the attitude right back. Ramona calls Bethenny stupid, and relationship challenged — and Luann backs her up. Luann notes that Bethenny cares nothing for anyone but herself, a realization viewers discovered years ago. Luann and Bethenny argue over the meaning of cordiality, and Ramona busts her for not warmly embracing Tinsley. Ramona calls Bethenny a witch — so Bethenny decides to depart on her broom. Luann recalls Bethenny’s Berkshires bashing, and almost squawks like a chicken as Bethenny exits the scene. Carole counts to ten, darts her eyes, then casually follows. 

Sonja and Tinsley are finally entering the Hamptons picture, arriving at the  house Sonja scored for the weekend. The ladies check out the lovely home, and Sonja humps Tinsley’s bed, assuring her that no one will hear a squeak, if a man materializes to give the springs a spin. Meanwhile, Ramona meets up with Luann and Dorinda for a post-drama gossip sesh at a winery, and a Bethenny rehash is soon kicked off. Dorinda criticizes Ramona’s timing, but they agree that she did get under the B’s skin. Over at Bethenny’s, a third party has been recruited to hear out her side. The two groups rehash the messy convo, and brace themselves for Ramona’s upcoming dinner party. Meanwhile, Dorinda serves up info implicating Sonja for dissing Luann’s wedding, and Dorinda’s romance with John the dry cleaner. Dorinda is furious, and plans to rip Sonja a new one at the dinner party that night. Tinsley and Sonja discuss Dorinda’s exhausted Berkshires diss, but Sonja claims that she’s willing to move on. Tinsley asks permission to like Dorinda, and Sonja gives her the thumbs up. The dinner party is shaping up to be a doozy.

The evening has arrived, and the guests begin to trickle into Ramona’s home. Dorinda continues to receive Sonja gossip updates, and she is armed and ready to rumble. Carole bravely steps out alone, and hopes that she can hold her own until Bethenny rescues her later. Dorinda dishes about Sonja’s chatter with Carole, and Dorinda reveals that she has a “mole” catching the tea leaking from Sonja’s loose lips. Dorinda is staying sober, and is ready to attack, minus her usual sloppy slurs.

The stage is set. Don’t miss next week when Dorinda explodes — and Bethenny almost climbs through a window to catch the drama.
