Welcome to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 17 finale recap. Last time, Erika accused Sutton of attacking her, Kyle, and Dorit at their lowest point. Now, here’s what happened in RHOBH Season 14, Episode 17, “A Caribbean Send Off.”
What happened in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 17?
Jennifer Tilly accused Dorit and Erika of orchestrating the gang-up on Sutton. That fired up Erika, who later made it clear that she was stating her opinion. Meanwhile, Sutton struggled with feeling attacked from all sides. Plus, Erika reacted to her estranged husband, Tom Girardi’s, conviction.
Sutton is tired of being attacked on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14
The ladies headed back to the hotel to get ready for Dorit and Erika’s birthday dinner. And Boz went all out. There were vendors, a steel pan band, and food. While Boz hoped that the group would have fun, the rest of the ladies had their doubts. Meanwhile, Erika doesn’t “have any ill will towards Sutton.” But she believes that she is right, and she thinks the other cast members agree with her.
According to Jennifer, she sees an “alliance” between Erika and Dorit. “It seems like they had discussed it beforehand,” Jennifer said in her confessional. “It’s kind of like, a little suspect.”
When Garcelle chatted with Sutton, she pointed out that Kyle didn’t speak up to defend Sutton. Naturally, Sutton was upset. “They wanted to break me,” a teary Sutton told Garcelle. “They’ve been wanting to break me for years.” Cue the montage of Erika, Kyle, Dorit, and Lisa Rinna attacking Sutton over the years.
While Garcelle encouraged Sutton to get glam so they could try and have fun, Sutton wasn’t sure. Garcelle knows that Sutton wasn’t totally clean in these feuds, as the next montage shows viewers. “When she’s angry and she feels like she’s being cornered, it’s not going to be good – for anybody,” Garcelle said of Sutton in her confessional. Even Jennifer agreed with Garcelle that Sutton wants to be in Kyle’s squad, even though Kyle doesn’t have her back.
Jennifer makes an accusation on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14
As the ladies gathered in Boz’s suite, everyone was dolled up. Then we have Kathy Hilton, who was sporting a t-shirt and shorts. When asked where Sutton was, Jennifer responded, “She’s just upset. It’s just been a lot for her, and she wants to have a really good time tonight.”
Once again, Erika made it about her in her confessional. “So, Sutton’s not here because her feelings got hurt. All I did was ask a question. Remember that? How you guys used to just ask me questions?” Cue the flashbacks of Sutton questioning her involvement in Tom’s legal woes. I also have a question. Why is Erika making this all about her?
So, Jennifer stood up for Sutton. “Erika started saying about the problems that the group has with her,” Jennifer said. Then, she pointed out that Kyle “jumped in a little bit.” The actress added, “She felt sort of like it was like a coordinated group effort.”
So, Erika was insulted that the group was being accused of planning the gang-up on Sutton. “It’s not a coordinated attack. It’s my f*cking opinion,” Erika said in her confessional.
And when Garcelle pointed out that she has been “picked on” since she joined the show, both Dorit and Erika refuted that claim. They insisted that Sutton also did plenty to her RHOBH co-stars. “Sutton can dish it, but she cannot take it,” Dorit said in her confessional. “You know what? It’s f*cking nauseating.”
Then Garcelle took up for Sutton. “She would like some blind loyalty from you,” she told Kyle. Right away, Kyle became angry because she was being blamed for Erika’s remarks. Plus, neither Garcelle nor Jennifer stood up for Sutton on the boat. Truth!
Sutton doesn’t want to have a discussion with Kyle on RHOBH
The ladies went to the party, and it was fabulous! Sutton came down later, and she had a point to prove. “I’m going to show them you didn’t break me, and I’m still here,” Sutton said in her confessional.
While shopping, Jennifer bought Sutton a lava rock bracelet to ward off negative energy. When Jennifer revealed that she had told the other ladies that Sutton was upset, Sutton felt frustrated. Why did Jennifer share that with the group?
Just then, Kyle approached. She told Sutton that Jennifer and Garcelle had accused her of not defending Sutton. I feel for Sutton. Give the woman a few minutes to catch her breath! Kyle pointed out that it was Erika who insisted that Sutton went after women at their lowest moments. “Do you think it’s true?” Sutton repeatedly asked Kyle.
“It was for me last year, but I didn’t speak up on purpose because you’re my friend, and I love you,” Kyle replied. When Sutton explained that she has been “pummeled” for five years, Kyle replied that it’s happened to everyone. “I haven’t seen every person in the group yell at you, which happened to me,” Sutton said in her confessional.
For dinner, the ladies were seated at a table on the beach. After stalling, Sutton eventually took her place at the table. Then, Kathy went to the ladies’ room and returned in a new outfit because she “tinkled” in her shorts. TMI, Kathy!
For some reason, the ladies started to do impressions. Kyle did a spot-on Jennifer. Then Jennifer did a great job as Sutton until Dorit and Erika did mean-girl imitations of the Georgia peach. Then, Sutton chimed in with a bizarre impression of them impersonating her. Yikes!
Finally, Sutton excused herself to head to bed. She was over it. “That’s f*cking bullsh*t,” Sutton said as she closed her bedroom door.
A day of separate activities for the ladies
The next day, Boz has scheduled activities for all the ladies. Boz and Sutton went to learn about making chocolate from a craft chocolatier. When Boz brought up Erika’s accusation, Sutton shared that both Kyle and Dorit also asked Erika questions. However, Sutton acknowledged that she needs to be more caring.
Meanwhile, Kyle, Garcelle, and Jennifer hit the beach. Jennifer and Garcelle advised Kyle to be prepared in case her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, files for divorce.
Then, Dorit and Erika, who were chilling at their suite, discussed Sutton. They agreed that Sutton is great to be around at times. They just find her behavior confusing. Plus, Erika did “not take kindly” to Jennifer claiming that she and Dorit planned the attack on Sutton.
The ladies let down their hair on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
For the last night, the ladies were celebrating Carnival, and Boz had traditional costumes sent to the ladies. Thongs at the ready! It was a struggle sitting down at the table with all their colorful feathers. Everyone was having fun, so it was time for Erika to suck the air out of the celebration. She asked whether it was Jennifer or Garcelle who thought that the attack on Sutton was planned.
“Erika, I feel bad that … that made you feel bad,” Jennifer said. Then, we see a flashback of Erika asking Sutton earlier in the day if she knew that was being said. “No,” Sutton admitted.
Back at the table, Erika said that she wanted to move forward with Sutton but that everyone needed to listen. She stated that she only gave her opinion. “That was not a coordinated attack,” Erika said and thanked the group for listening.
After hearing Erika’s explanation, Garcelle believes her. Finally, after a rum toast, the ladies joined the party and shook their tail feathers. There were people breathing fire, walking on stilts, music, and dancing.
The RHOBH cast reflects on Season 14
As it is the RHOBH finale, here are the updates on all the ladies. While Garcelle continues to be a boss on the set, her “favorite role” is being a “grandma to Oliver [Saunders’] new daughter, Valley.”
Boz said in her confessional, “These are a group of women who are interesting individually and friends that I’m excited to get to know better.” We also learned that she and her boyfriend, Keely Watson, are on their “fertility journey.” And Keely finally told Boz that he loved her.
For Sutton, if she could change one thing from this season, it would be her relationship with Dorit. “I wish I had handled it better,” she said in her confessional. As for Sutton’s update, her friendship with Dorit is still “on ice,” but her relationship with her mom is much better.
In her confessional, Kyle said, “If I’m not going to be married to Mauricio, I am going to have a great life with someone. I will.” While Kyle and Mauricio continue “their stalemate” over their future, Kyle “remains open to love in her life … while hopefully avoiding the paparazzi.” I love that dig at Mauricio.
Finally, Dorit said in her confessional, “I want peace, I want happiness. I deserve it, and I’m going to fight for it.” As for Dorit and her estranged husband, PK Kemsley? They have no plans to reconcile but are working on co-parenting better.
Erika reacts to Tom’s conviction on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14
Back in Beverly Hills, Erika reflected on her estranged husband Tom’s situation. “On August 27, Tom Girardi, my husband, was found guilty of embezzlement. I never saw this coming,” she admitted in her confessional. “He was loved, he was admired, he was accomplished, and this is how his story ended.”
Of course, Kyle went to check on Erika. Once the verdict came down, Erika started to feel depressed again. “He was convicted on four counts of wire fraud,” Erika said. “It’s like 80 years or some sh*t. That dude ain’t got 80 days in him.”
She added, “It’s not over for me. I still have sh*t in front of me. And he put me through a lot.” And she feels like this ending “is not okay for many reasons.”
So, in Erika’s update, she noted that she hasn’t talked to Tom since his conviction. She reprised her role on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and this summer is headlining “the Mighty Hoopla festival in London.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
