It was a blast from the past on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Miami! More like a blast for Lisa rather than Lea! Lea flew back to her hometown in Texas and brought Lisa with her to take in all the action. Lea's country roots surprised Lisa, who thought that her family upbringing was just as glitz and glam as her life in Miami but she was pleasantly surprised at what she saw! Who knew Lea Black was an all around country girl? She could have fooled me!

Lisa enjoyed her open, laid back family and realized Lea was a mystery when it came to her younger years so she started to do research to uncover how hardworking and caring the native Texan is. It was different to see Lea in this atmosphere and you could tell she was out of her element. Rather than eating at a well-known hot spot in Miami and laying out by the pool, the ladies strapped on their cowboy boots and saddled up... on a mechanical bull that is. They enjoyed the country bars, two stepping and backyard BBQ food.

For Lea, the time couldn't have come quicker to get back to her fabulous life - she was eager to leave just after a couple days! She doesn't visit often and with the passing of her sister just years ago from a freak accident, it seems as if it's harder to accept and talk about it when she's there. All in all, Lisa enjoyed getting to know what Lea is all about. Does that make Lisa the new Adriana?!

While some of the housewives were in another state, others were at home celebrating special occasions. For Alexia, her celebration was the 10th anniversary of her relationship with Herman. A small dinner party was exactly what they wanted to do to celebrate their love as a family. On the other hand, Adriana and Frederic were celebrating sending off their son to a school dance and with the wedding finally being over, she feels as though the missing piece of their family puzzle is complete.

Joanna and Romain also had something to celebrate, the completion of setting their actual wedding date and to top that off, he surprised her with a puppy along with a ripped up prenuptial agreement document expressing that there will be nothing to sign because their love is forever. Talk about puppy love!

The Real Housewives of Miami airs Mondays 9/8c on Bravo.
