The London trip drama continues....

Aviva pleaded with Heather to invite Ramona to London, but Heather wasn't budging. She simply did not want Ramona's company on this trip and she didn't care what anyone thought about it. Aviva went so far as to tell Heather she will have to deal with the consequences of not inviting her. Aviva continued her campaign with Sonja, but Sonja wasn't having it. In her words, "not everyone can go to the birthday party" and she can't make someone like Ramona.

Besides that, here's what's going on with our Big Apple ladies:

Sonja has three interns! Three! I think one would suffice. I mean, normal women run their lives by themselves so why can't she. Carole, although somewhat attached, went on a date with a handsome foreigner. Carole also found out that the widow's dating guide book she is working on will be adapted into a TV show. Ramona nearly shit herself when she found out that Carole was a Princess. The only reason she was excited is because a Princess definitely chumps a Countess, and it one ups LuAnne. LuAnne visited a doctor to get some help with fertility. She and Jacques decided to go the holistic treatment route, so she got an acupuncture treatment. We got to take a glimpse into the life of Heather's son Jax and all his complications. It's truly heartbreaking, but her son is a fighter.

Ramona finally got the chance to confront Heather directly about not inviting her to London. Heather simply explained herself, and it was left at that. Although Aviva went to bat for Ramona, she ended up getting thrown under the bus when Ramona revealed that she told her Heather's feelings were hurt over a comment she made. She finally got a taste of the real Ramona, but she was still trying to get Heather to invite her.

Next week is the actual London trip and from the looks of the previews, Ramona hates her way through the weekend!
