Season 11 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 starts with the girls comforting a crying Erika over new Tom Girardi allegations, Lisa Rinna instigating drama with Garcelle, & the girls figuring out what to do next. Before dinner the girls confront Garcelle again& at the dinner table the race conversation about the phrase "I don't see color" comes up again leading to police interactions & hired help conversation. The girls end dinner cleaning their own plates, Garcelle and Crystal leave for the night, and Kyle shares Harry Hamlin has acrylic nails for his guitar playing. It is now morning, Lisa and Kyle are having coffee, Crystal and Garcelle are catching up in their hotel rooms and everyone is reacting to the LA Times article implicating Erika in knowing about the dealings with Toms law firm she has thus far been denying knowing anything about. Sutton shares details of 50-80 million in cash missing & Erika's company for Erika Jayne was loaned 20M from Tom. The term Ponzi Scene was used in the LA Times article and the girls compare this to Bernie Madoff situation with his wife. Back home, everyone is coming over to Dorit's for the meeting without Erika because Sutton has reservations about Erika after La Quinta.

Next episode sees the girls having family over for holidays including Garcelle as a new grandma, Sutton saying ignorance isn't an excuse regarding Erika, and another dinner where Erika is present and asks are you guys really that afraid of me? with the girls questioning Erika to her face on if she knew anything.
