Kim D made her rounds to invite all the ladies to her annual Posh fashion show. Her fashion show always manages to bring the drama, and this year with Teresa and Carolyn feuding and Jacqueline and Teresa on shaky ground, I'm sure it will be no exception.  First she made her phone call to Melissa, where Melissa revealed that she was upset with her. Kim didn't seem to be too concerned, and just made her promise to come to the fashion show. Then she made her way to Teresa's house, where Teresa was teaching her children Italian. I know, I'm evil, but when Teresa made a comment about not speaking proper Italian, I did scream "you don't speak proper English either!"

 

Kathy had a business meeting with the man she met at Gelati's to discuss a possible partnership to distribute her yummy treats. She specifically told Ritchie not to speak unless spoken to, but he didn't listen and managed to sneak in a dirty joke. 

 

Melissa and Joe decided that they didn't want to use a major music label to further Melissa's career, but they needed help navigating the business. As an answer to the problem, she met with her songwriter Corté and his associate Jason Kpana to get some help.

 

Although she is making steps for her career, she may have gotten a little ahead of herself. I mean she compared herself to Christina Aguilera for goodness sakes. Calm it down a bit honey, calm it down. 

 

Caroline and Lauren decided to use the space that used to be Chateau for their makeup boutique, CaFace. Lauren seems realistic about the situation and knows that she and her mother will fight. I'm happy Lauren is doing something that she feels will make her successful, so she can step out of her brothers' shadows. 

 

Ashley seems to be doing well in California. She has a job, an apartment and outside of almost burring the place down, she's actually doing ok. Jacqueline wasn't too pleased to discover that Ashley had gotten not one, but two new tattoos. 

 

Teresa suspiciously decided  to have her hair done at a salon, rather than at home, arranged by Kim D. While they were there, a man came in claiming to know Melissa, because she danced for him at a strip club almost a decade ago. While Teresa had heard rumors about her sister in law, she felt this confirmed it. She did the right thing though and asked the man not to speak about her family.

 

When Kim D insisted on asking for details even after Teresa wanted nothing to do with the conversation, she even walked out. At the Posh party, the man walked with purpose over to their table and blatantly asked Melissa if she remember him. Melissa was polite, but after he walked away, she told the other housewives that she could't remember where she knew him from. It definitely looks like she's hiding something! 

 

It seems like Teresa was pretty innocent in the situation, but it appears that next week Melissa thinks Teresa set her up. I just want to know if she was a stripper or not!  Can't wait until next week, which I think is the finale.
