Before we prepare to bid our farewell (until next season) to the ladies of the big apple, we get one more dose of the craziness. 

 

First up, we get to see Ramona's initial reaction to Aviva's prosthetic leg. Ramona of course, freaked out, and Aviva calmly told her to sip some wine while she explained the basics of living without a limb. 

 

In an unseen clip from the reunion, a reader wrote in to ask Carole if she would rather take George, Aviva's father up on his screaming O offer or become the fourth housewife to sleep with the infamous Harry Dubin. Carole became extremely flustered as she tried to deliberate between the lesser of two evils. Aviva whispered for her to take her dad, but Carole just chuckled and chose dirty Harry. That question spawned into a heated discussion I'll call "she said, Harry said". 

 

In another tidbit, we witnessed LuAnne meet with the head of marketing for EMG, Joey Tawil to try and discuss launching her own line of affordable apparel and accessories for women. When asked what the vision is for her brand, LuAnne couldn't come up with an answer and then halfheartedly pointed to the boots she was donning for some sort of direction. LuAnne is very excited about her line, she just doesn't know what creative direction to go in. Or where to start... Clearly LuAnne does not have the business sense of some of her other RHNY cast mates. 

 

Aviva berated Sonja and Ramona all season long for their excessive partying and alcohol poisoning. I was the first to cry 'live and let live" but in another unseen clip, we gained some insight as to why she may have a problem with boozing. Aviva revealed to Carole that her mother died of alcoholism and that she stubbled with that. Well that explains a few things.

 

The other housewives got an opportunity at the reunion to weigh in on Ramona throwing George out of her charity event. Heather felt that neither George nor Aviva should have attended the event and that George should have left the first time he was asked to leave. Aviva maintained that no matter what went on between she and her friends, she would never throw their parents out of anywhere. 

 

Something that was largely entertaining to me was watching Ramona in action at a business meeting. Sonja (as she's done before) summoned Ramona to help her make a business decision on whether to partner with Steven Carl. Ramona ripped him to shreds, leaving the poor man stuttering and scared. I must admit, Ramona is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to business and well, just about anything. In the end, Ramona gave her the go ahead to work with him. 

 

After viewing several clips from the St. Bart's trip, Andy flashed back to the reunion where Aviva attempted to apologize to Ramona for her behavior on the island. Ramona refused it, stating that Aviva continues to tweet and blog mean things about her. 

 

In other clips, we saw a rare moment with LuAnne parenting, where she rushed two sullen teenaged through pizza, Ramona overpack for St. Bart's to Sonja's dismay, and a barrage of small clips where the housewives behaved badly. 

 

That's it for this season! Ta ta for now!
