'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Recap: "Amster-Damn Slap"

We’re back in Holland with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies and if it’s anything like last week’s episode we’re in for a treat.

This episode kicks off with the ladies in the hotel and unfortunately, Yolanda is feeling ill. So sad because they are in her home country. Her battle with Lyme disease is rather upsetting to watch. Kudos to Yolanda.
All the ladies minus Kyle, Yolanda and Eileen head out for a day of shopping. Lisa Rinna is the smart one by joining the ladies who caused the trouble, her reasoning, “I don’t want to relive it.” And you gotta love Kyle but everybody knows she’s the queen of rehashing a situation. However, Kyle has had a rough visit in Amsterdam. Kim’s behavior has been rather sporadic.

Kyle meets up with Eileen in the hotel lobby and lets her know that Yolanda isn’t able to join due to not feeling well today. Eileen and Kyle head out to a museum for the day and we’re switched back to the other housewives and their shopping trip. Kyle and Eileen seem to be enjoying their day but the real fun definitely appears to be on the shopping trip. Shopping always wins though, right? Especially with the ladies of Beverly Hills.
Rinna definitely predicted correctly, because now Eileen and Kyle are sitting in a coffee shop speaking of the previous night’s events. They don’t understand why Lisa Rinna chose to hang out with the other ladies.
After the commercial break we’re back with Lisa Rinna and Eileen talking over a glass of wine. Eileen’s letting Lisa know how confused she is that she seemed to get over the situation with Kim Richards so quickly. (Remember, Kim accused her husband of doing something shady.) Lisa Rinna even says she’s scared of Kim Richards, and to be honest I can’t blame her. She says her current state is “survival mode.” Pretty smart of her. Just do what you need to do to get through the rest of the trip with these women. She’s figured out the game pretty quickly with it only being her first season.

Yolanda is feeling better now and the ladies are gathering for a boat ride through the canals of Amsterdam.

Love Kyle, but she gets up as her sister is taking a picture with Brandi, obviously trying to be dramatic. Everyone was pretending everything is okay, but Kyle simply can’t do it. Instead, she continues to bring everything up, awkwardly gathering with Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda in the corner to vent about her feelings.
The trio heads back to the table to find Brandi and Eileen discussing their attempt at a friendship. Eileen seems to think that Brandi deflects everything that is said to her, instead of taking the advice of those around her. I can’t decide if Brandi is actually as crazy as she appears or if it’s all editing. Eileen is properly defending herself. You can’t deny that Eileen isn’t crazy like some of these ladies. In fact, she sometimes appears to be swallowed up in the drama. It may be too much for her.

Then Brandi calls Eileen a home wrecker. She didn’t directly call her a home wrecker. She was referring to the stereotypes attached to each women that aren’t true. Of course the ladies never let Brandi do anything right so everyone automatically attacks her. After the argument continues to go around and around in circles, the ladies start migrating over to the table for dinner.

After a commercial break, the ladies are finishing up dinner when Brandi suggests that everyone go around the table and say nice things about each other. Of course Kyle starts crying. However, the things everyone’s saying are really nice. Brandi walks out of the game before the ladies have a chance to compliment on her. They force her to sit down and continue showering her with nice comments.

As the housewives are exiting the boat Brandi starts messing around with Lisa Vanderpump in a way that I’m not even sure how to explain. It kind of starts off as funny but then Brandi slaps Lisa Rinna. She took it too far. It was obvious there were no ill intentions behind the gentle slap. But too far, nonetheless.

The episode wraps up with Kyle and Vanderpump going to a pancake shop, while Yolanda and Brandi grab coffee together. Lisa is telling Kyle about the slap situation. Meanwhile we see Brandi telling Yolanda about the situation as well. Yolanda of course can not believe that Brandi did it, saying the joke isn’t funny. Of course, Kyle too takes the opportunity to diss on Brandi. Even if it’s rightfully deserved, these ladies love to hate on Brandi.

Until next week..
