This week, our Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recap
is all about grandkids and grand gestures! In Season 3, Episode 15:
"The Real Housewives of Paris: Part Un," the ladies head to Europe, and
fireworks go off — literally and figuratively. So hop in your helicopter, set some threesome ground rules, and save the turtles!
Intervention Time
The episode begins with Kim telling Kyle Richards that she thinks Taylor Armstrong
has a drinking problem and wants to talk to Tay about it. We also see
that Kim is startled that turtle shells are on Kyle’s wall, as if Kim is
worried that the Ninja Turtles are going to suddenly show up at Kyle’s
place to get revenge for their fallen brethren.
Kyle
agrees to join Kim in talking to Taylor, and so the both sit down with
Taylor in her home. Taylor clarifies that not knowing her daughter
Kennedy was with Kyle last week was a misunderstanding with her nanny.
However, Taylor does acknowledge that she’ll sometimes drinks too much,
especially when she thinks about Kennedy not having her dad around.
So
we’re not sure if Kim and Kyle will help Taylor to make any progress,
but we’re proud of Kim for talking to Taylor in a very heartfelt way and
for not making Taylor get defensive. Frankly, we were pretty much
certain this outing would end in an argument, so we’re relieved
(shocked!) that it didn’t. You ladies proved us wrong — well done!
Yolanda
has invited the women over to Mohamed’s to show off his home, which
she’s been busy decorating. The ladies arrive and meet Yolanda’s
husband, David. In fact, David is chatting with Marisa Zanuck when she surprises everyone by saying — in front of Dean! — that she wants to sleep with someone new. Poor Dean!
Then,
Yolanda confronts Taylor about rumors that Taylor has issues with her.
Yolanda says she would like Taylor to hash things out with her at
Starbucks — which we’re sure all the other patrons in the Starbucks
would really appreciate. But
Tay denies having problems with Yo, telling us that the issues are
between her friend Linda and David, who used to be married to each
other.
Like Father, Like Son, Like Grandson
Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd
head to Saint-Tropez in France to spend time with Ken’s 45-year-old
son, Warren, and his wife, Sue. Sue and Lisa were once close friends,
but Lisa wasn’t pleased when Sue started seeing Warren. Now, things are
good between Lisa and Sue, although it did seem like Sue made just a few too many jokes about wishing Lisa and Ken would leave. Humor can hurt, Sue!
It
was very cute to see Ken interact with Warren, and it was even cuter to
see that Warren and Ken have the exact same haircut. Seriously — the exact same
one. Ken also wrestles with his 21-year-old grandson Ryan, just like
all grandsons do with their grandpas. But shouldn’t Ken know how old he
was when Warren was born? That struck us as a little odd.
When
Yolanda heard that both Lisa and Kyle would be in Europe at the same
time as she would, she decided that they should all meet up in Paris.
Don’t you just love it when you and every single one of your friends
just happen to be in Paris at the same time?
Kyle and Kim arrive
at the airport, and they remark on how different this is from the trip
to Hawaii last year, when Kim was passport-free. Kyle and Kim have a
heart-to-heart in the airport waiting area — which is always a good
place for a heart-to-heart — as Kim admits that she would hide wine in
her coffee mug when she was around Kyle. If only Starbucks sold that kind of coffee!
As
they’re about to board the plane, the ladies get some tragic info.
Marisa calls Kyle to say she can’t join them in Paris because Dean’s
father — film producer Richard Zanuck — has suddenly had a heart attack
and passed away. Very sad news indeed.
Where’s Kim?
The
ladies unpack at their hotel, which has an amazing view of the Eiffel
tower, when Giggy — followed by Lisa and Ken — arrives as well. The
ladies wait for the Bastille Day fireworks, and there is some silliness
as Brandi Glanville explains
the boundaries of her threesomes with Eddie Cibrian. Speaking of
boundaries, we’re surprised that Brandi licking Ken’s hair isn’t off
limits.
But tension arises — as if you you really thought this
trip could be tension-free! — when Kim shows up to the room late. Kim
starts making strange comments, like not seeming to remember when she
arrived in Paris, or making funny faces and laughing for no real reason.
Needless to say, Lisa is concerned. Uh-oh.
So what did we think
about this week’s episode? Marisa’s news was definitely heartbreaking,
but otherwise, the week was a little light on drama. However, on a show
like this, it’s always a relief to take a break from fighting. It was
nice seeing Kim and Kyle growing closer, not to mention seeing Warren’s
beautiful home. Making money runs in Ken’s genes!
As for the end
of the episode, we have to believe that Kim is dedicated to her
sobriety, so we really doubt she would be drinking on the trip. However,
it is true that they just got off the flight, so it seems possible that
she might have taken some sleep medication for the flight that is still
altering her behavior. We’re wishing the best for you, Kim — so don’t
let us down!
