However, we have yet to see what split Lesa and Ayan apart for good.

And I find myself getting frustrated and wondering if we are being primed for overblown theatrics.

Take the fallout from this voice memo, for example.

If so, why did Lesa act so shocked and upset at Ayan on-camera?

I adore Ayan, but she is not a master of subtext and inferences.

Somehow, Stanbury pulled the hairpin on the bomb and was mainly left unscathed.

I would need space as well.

The fallout afterward also rings off to me.

Perhaps they are that close, but parts of it felt like a scheme that Todd had set up.

Particularly, she mentioned that she has never been spoken to that way.

Housewives, theyre just like us!

They even make grave miscalculations like getting wasted the night before a daylong spiritual expedition.

I empathize with her misery; she clearly forgot to take her Liquid I.V.

the night before and is regretting it dearly.

I understand why Sara was frustrated by Stanburys resistance.

The spiritual experience itself seemed lovely.

There is still more healing work to be done with this crew.

Something that I have come to appreciate about this cast is their commitment to absurd slights.

Minor faux pas become protracted issues that get run into the ground in incoherent and hilarious ways.

Calling someone a beggar?

Lets have a screaming match about it.

Cause for deep eye rolling and whispers.

Claim someone is untrustworthy?

We are going to curse each other out.

In a ludicrous level of frustration, Brooks shouts, I would never wear mustard yellow!

as if anyone assigning her this color should be tried at the Hague for high-fashion crimes.

It is absurd in the best way.

Not this gang of women, though.

Screw etiquette, we are going to turn small slights into major showdowns.

Golden Nuggets

Sergios himbo antics are much more amusing when he is not on-camera as much.

Every week, I am going to document a newly ridiculous self-help aphorism that Sara whips out.

This week, I am trying to keep my vibrations high.

I cant help but think of the viral clip of that wellness scammer talkingabout low-vibrational plates.

Revealing that she lost her best friend to AIDS took my breath away.
