This season focuses on Erika's lawsuit and divorce, Lisa Rinna's personal life with daughter in spotlight & her rebuilding friendship with Garcelle, Sutton & Crystal and Kyle & Garcelle on race relations, & more.

This episode ("Two Truths and a Lie") starts with a quick wrap up on the BBQ from last episode as Garcelle heads to meet with Kyle. First scene is Erika & Sutton meeting up before Lake Tahoe group trip, where Sutton shares a story of a pilot losing his license to which Erika's reacted with shock & embarrassment, a near perfect bread crumb leading to the big story around Erika with her husband, Tom's, legal license trouble. Then, Garcelle & Kyle meet for lunch to start fresh, but Garcelle brings up how hurt she was over Kyle's accusations about her charity which quickly resolves but Garcelle asks Kyle if she would've said that to one of the white women. Next, we see Crystal at home with her kids, husband, live-in Chinese pop star brother, & housekeeper, Lucy plus her embracing the "tiger mom" cliche while bragging about husband showing how supportive of a spouse she is. We also learn Crystal loves scheduling as the glue holding the family together. Then, the girls including Kathy Hilton head to Lake Tahoe in a private jet & we learn Kathy has never been on a girls trip. Upon arrival we have room picking where the house greeter tells of ground level bear access & Garcelle makes a comment about black girls not liking bears so she won't be staying on that level. We also see the girls having to carry their own suitcases to their rooms because of the pandemic situation limiting help. Kathy & Kyle then talk about the time they weren't talking after Kyle made a show about their life growing up. Then, as Kyle attempts to cook dinner for the girls, Crystal makes Kyle a margarita as a self proclaimed tough critic married to a Mexican when Crystal says she feels a kindred spirit with Mexicans because she grew up in Los Angeles. Girl chat before eating dinner leads to poking fun at Kyle & Kathy & Erika chiming in. Sutton gifted flasks at dinner table after Kyle burned the salmon & we learn Kyle's sisters call her Doogie. The second to last scene leads to a game of Two Truths and a Lie where Crystal, Sutton, Erika, & Kathy share where Crystal Kung Minkoff reveals she used to work at an escort agency.. After splitting up for the night Lisa Rinna & Garcelle continue talks of their friendship where race is brought up by Garcelle again. In another room, Kyle, Sutton & Crystal talk about the Garcelle lunch with Kyle racial stereotypes come up too. The episode ends with a cliff hanger of Crystal asking Sutton "Are you the I don't see color girl?".

Next episode appears to show Crystal & Sutton's relationship taking a nose dive & Garcelle talking negatively about Paris Hilton to her mom Kathy Hilton.
