It’s been so long since the last Real Housewives of Beverly Hills aired before the holidays, I was going through withdrawals! No doubt, we all were. 

Camille calls Kyle to try and extend an olive branch, inviting her to play tennis and go swimming at her place. Kyle accepts to keep the peace for her husband’s sake. The tennis/pool day goes without a hitch and Camille and Kyle are really attempting to put it all behind them at this point. Nick comes with his wife Tricia, and it is again awkward as Camille kisses him on the lips. What is up with these two?

Lisa and Ken are ready for Cedric to move out, but then they are reminded of why they took him in in the first place and that he needs them. 

Taylor and Russell are still having a tough time…well, at least Taylor is. Things have become more business than pleasure with them. 

Kyle is planning Mauricio’s 40th birthday party which is also their annual white party, where everyone will be wearing white.

Kim, Adrienne, Camille, Lisa and Taylor, plus their significant others, attend the party and everyone is having a blast besides Russell, who seems bored and disconnected the entire time. Taylor and he hardly spend any time together, and when he leaves her early to go home, she is visibly upset, wishing that what Mauricio and Kyle have, she could have with her husband.

Camille isn’t feeling well, and mentions that her phone conversations with her husband Kelsey have been tapering off (she knows something is up, but not sure what…) and she is not 100% but still makes the effort and comes to the party for awhile.She brings a gift for Kyle that she thinks is funny, a book titled How To Behave And Why. The general consensus is that a)Camille should be reading this book first and b)...it's not funny. As she leaves (early) and gets in the limo by herself, we see the first inkling of her truly actually being lonely. 

Martin, Lisa and Ken’s friend who was supposed to be fixed up with Kim, comes too. Kim thinks that if he was interested he would have called her, which he never did. They are cordial to each other, but don’t seem to interact much beyond just greeting each other.

Next week, according to the trailers, we see the divorce bomb dropped on Camille…
