Oh, my God. Let me take this f***ing thing off.

Hi. I mean, look, COVID's been long. It's been lonely.

I haven't been able to work out in a month because of my surgery.

How did it go?

Great. I can breathe amazing.

And you don't have a big honker anymore either.

Hi. How are you? I'm good. Good to see you.

It's been a while.

Yep. We just realized we spent three months with you, and we haven't seen you

three months. That's correct.

Mario, Avery, and I always have had this natural rhythm, and we had the rhythm

back again. We were a family.

Yeah, I do miss your cooking down in Florida.

Well, you have to come to New York more often. No, you come back down. Is that

an offer?

You mean an invite?

Yeah.

My little lone avocado.

I got you everything organic.

You know, I used to love to go to the supermarket, but now that it's a masked

affair, I'm not into it. I know we all need masks, and it can be fabulous, but

for me, it's like a fashion faux pas.

I just gave you an email to look up. Did they answer me?

Not yet.

Where's that eyelash stuff I gave you? I don't have lashes.

These are crazy times, but I'm a crazy lady, so I feel right at home, actually.

Cray -cray is the way we roll. Oh, I used to use this when I used to shave

Oh my God, I might do this tonight.

Of all my vices, being glamorous is one I'll never give up.

I'm sex positive and yes, negative.

I may say the wrong thing, but my intentions are always right.

I've had to work twice as hard for half as much, but now I'm coming for

everything.

Just like New York City, Sonia Morgan never goes out of style.

You're my little therapy dog.

You know, sitting alone with yourself during quarantine helps you make some

changes. And I did. I upgraded my apartment and I got a new fur baby,

We adore her. She's literally like my second child.

Sometimes I like her more than Kira.

Hi. How are you?

Good. How are you?

Okay, I'm just going to put it out there. I'm very, very nervous right now,

I have so many feelings going on. As I've mentioned to you that I am starting

conversion process to Judaism.

Today is Yom Kippur, and it's just becoming very real to me that I am

these steps.

It's a big thing to convert to an organized religion.

What else would you convert to, an unorganized religion?

I've been thinking about converting to Judaism for many, many years.

I mean, maybe I'm having my Madonna ray of light moment.

Then when COVID hit, I was having, I would say, the only period of my life

I felt very disconnected from a God. I quit drinking again, and I got a very

deep calling to convert to Judaism.

What rabbi is converting you?

Orthodox. I think you should look into that a little.

It's the real way. That's the way I'm doing it. I mean, he did mention that I

might have to, I mean, I talked about, like, the way I dress. You're going to

have to be much more modest.

Modern.

Modest. Oh. No, I don't want to be more modest.

I am attracted to the challenge. Like, I think I'm attracted to all the rules

and the rituals and the prayers.

And look, it's not like I'm going to convert and, like, that's it. I'm a Jew.

The conversion is the beginning for me.

Oh, God.

Wait, this is Dad. Let me go and ask for forgiveness.

Okay. Bye. Love you.

Hi.

How's it going, girl? I just wanted to see you face -to -face because I, like,

want to talk to you about something important.

Today is Yom Kippur.

I want to start the year off fresh, so I want to ask you for your forgiveness

for really just not being a great daughter.

But you told me to go to hell the other day. What did you tell me first?

And I'm sorry. So do you forgive me?

Well, we'll see about that.

Dad, I can't. I have to go into the new year with forgive. Like, you have to,

like, forgive me now or not. I don't think it goes like we'll see what

I'm not Jewish. I'm going to do what I want.

You know, as a Christian, you have to do penance.

Well, this is me. I'm atoning now, Dad.

You're just asking for forgiveness.

You have to do penance. You have to make up.

Well, we don't do that in Judaism.

Well, we do that in Catholicism.

Dad, you're not taking this serious.

I am taking it seriously.

Just because I'm converting to Judaism doesn't mean I'm going to be the perfect

Jew. You know, I'm not telling my rabbi this, but this is about progress, not

perfection. Me converting is the beginning of, like, a very long

journey.

Wait,

look at Angel.

She's so sweet.

She is.

So guess what? Guess who moved in the neighborhood?

Luann. She lives, like, only a couple blocks from me.

Who would have thought that she and I are really friendly now?

Hello? Hey, honey, can I come in?

Yeah, is the door open?

Uh, yeah, hi.

Hey.

Oh, my God. You have the most gorgeous floors.

I am so jealous.

Oh, my God. Look how chic, c 'est la vie you look.

If I saw you walking down the street, I would look twice.

Wait, this is from Kingston?

This is from Kingston. I sold my house, by the way. No, congrats. I sold it.

Yeah. So I'm happy about that because I never got up there. I'm always in the

Hamptons, especially with COVID. I mean, I just.

I never got there.

Weirdly enough, it kind of feels good to be back in my old neighborhood.

I had a townhouse for many years on the Upper East Side. It was my stomping

ground. So it's kind of nice to be back and living around my girlfriend, like

even Ramona.

And I love the way you decorate it. I love the colors.

Thank you.

You're impressing me more and more the more I get to know you.

Well, life is surprising, isn't it? I feel like I'm meeting Luann for the

time. And I think she's just more in touch with herself. I've never been

to somebody. Maybe it's fate. Who would have thought?

I know, who would have thought? If you said two years ago that I'd be having

this conversation with you, I would just get out.

Now the bond has gotten stronger, and I'm actually really excited she's my

neighbor. I'm going to give you some of this. Sure. This is something I found

three months ago in the Hamptons. It's an alternative to drinking, and Victoria

and I were looking for stuff because Victoria doesn't drink, and I'm not

drinking right now. Yeah, Avery's not drinking. I'm trying to cut it down way

down, too. So this is a non -alcoholic rosé. Oh, my gosh, and it looks like

rosé. It's amazing. Oh, my gosh, I can't wait to try this. So we're going to

have a toast. Let's have a toast to our new budding friendship. Well, for me,

it's a toast to not drinking. Okay.

You know what? Congrats. I literally think that...

At this point, I'm allergic to alcohol because this summer I had a couple times

where I didn't remember how I got home. This summer?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. And that's dangerous. All right.

Let me hear that. Let me hear about it.

I'm getting the chills. It's not only dangerous, it scared me. It scared me.

Tell me what happened. Were you out, like, at a friend's home? No, I was out.

was out in Sag Harbor, and that's happened a couple of times.

And I said to myself, you know what?

I have been drinking my whole life. It's not worth it. It's time to change it

up, you know, for me. To tell you the truth, I was so disgusted with myself.

Really? At this age, you're not going to remember? No, this is not happening

ever again.

Oh, I like it. Isn't it amazing? Last year, I was trying to figure out when I

was going to drink again.

Now, there's something that clicked. I'm okay without drinking.

Little pasta with shrimp? Sure.

Right? That looks good.

Yeah, it looks great. Have you heard from Sonia at all? I haven't seen her at

all. I'm a little upset with how she's been distancing herself from me. It just

doesn't make sense. Not just from you, from everybody.

Well, texting her, calling her. Texting her, calling her. She doesn't return

calls. She doesn't return texts. It's like, you know, I worry about her. I'm

like, what the hell's going on? I don't know. You know, and then I saw her

daughter. I was at Gitano downtown like a couple months ago. I asked her, I

said, where's your mom? You know, she said, you know what, Luann? She doesn't

give me the time of day. She's always busy.

But that's not like Sonia not to show up for her daughter. She has everything

for her daughter. No, I know. What the hell is going on with her? When Sonia

goes MIA, it means something is going on with her psychologically.

And when she's feeling really vulnerable, she wants to hide because

want us to know. It's almost like she's embarrassed.

But we're her friends. We're there for her. Wait, so you're not going to

this. So I'm looking for an apartment, right? And I see this.

Right? I walk in. I'm like, the ceilings, everything looks amazing.

I'm like, I'll take it, right? The view is great, whatever.

And your furniture fit perfectly. Well, guess what? Come with me. No, what are

you going to show me?

I don't know if I'm ready for this.

So I'm standing here. I'm literally waiting for the movers to walk in.

And I look, and I go, oh, my.

No! No!

No way!

Holy shit!

Oh,

you don't even need binoculars. Oh, my God. You don't even need a telescope.

And it's like, it's like right in my view.

Come on.

I was in shock.

I'm in shock.

The good news is I know when he's in town because the lights are on or

not. So now I know the light's on.

I won't be going to the Regency. Hey, Tom.

See you later.

Coming up.

So we're going to turn you on.

Wait, I brought you this. This is a resting bitch face mask. I sleep with a

resting bitch face.

Hi. Hey, babe. How are you?

I'm good, baby. You all coordinated.

It's so good to see you. I like your mask.

Thank you, baby.

I love this mask, but I hate this mask. No, it's like, I can't.

How's your week going?

It's good.

It's not bad.

Busy. How was your date? That's what I really want to know.

You want to see?

Yes. Girl, you can't see my big obnoxious smile under here. I'm sure

what's going on.

Alan's great.

He's great. He's great. We had fun.

We just grabbed dinner on the Upper West Side.

Me and Ebony met recently through mutual friends, and we live in the same

neighborhood. Our dogs.

Love each other.

We have a lot in common. The difference is Ebony is really good at dating rich

men.

Okay. It's like taking your bra off after... Except for when I take the bra

girl, it ain't never coming back on.

I'm sorry.

I can't stand it. Oh, wait, I brought you this. This is a resting bitch face

mask. Oh, my God. I'll get you a leopard one, too. Yeah, I want the leopard one.

This is cute.

Well, I do believe in a resting bitch face, y 'all.

That's why you keep the lines away. I know, exactly. I'm serious, yeah.

That's why, yeah, I try not to smile. I sleep with a resting bitch face.

Oh, my God.

Ebony is pretty much the epitome of black girl magic.

She is a lawyer.

She's an AKA.

She's a broadcaster.

She took on the president, and she does this all while looking hottest wearing

Louboutins. What's up with your world? Any special gentleman callers?

That's what I like to call them. I love me a gentleman caller, girl. I mean, I'm

still kind of, like, enmeshed a little with this guy PETA Chip, but it's so...

Wait, PETA Chip? Yeah, I call him PETA Chip. It's just the whole thing. He owns

a fucking PETA place that sells PETAs to everybody in New York. I took a picture

of myself nude with a PETA here.

I sent it to him and then he sent it to a friend, but he sent it to me. He's

cool. We're going to be friends no matter what. And I think that's the

like he's coming back to him, but he's kind of a way at the same time. Okay.

I'm going to ask you and not to psychoanalyze, but I'm curious, Leah,

ready to fall in love? Like, is that doable for you right now? Yes, I am. I'm

ready. Like I am ready. Like it doesn't mean like I'm pressed.

You're not pressed.

I'm good. Girl, bitch, you never press. Thank you.

Thank you. But I hear you, because I had to get to that place of intention.

I'll be honest, that was one of the reasons it took me so long to leave my

relationship, because I really just didn't want to start over.

Yeah. You know? You know.

It's like, ugh, who wants to, like, go through all that? I hate the thought of,

like, having to take a sh... Like, when you're over at a guy's house for the

weekend. You know what's so funny? I am psychotic. I'll get a colonic

beforehand, so I don't have to go to the bathroom. I don't give a... I'll take

a... It could be a first date.

And if you have to go, you have to go.

Because you fed me. We went to dinner, didn't we? I broke up with a guy for

farting in front of me.

Girl, oh my God. I know. You're a mess. I am.

You're the best kind of man.

But I'm serious. No, I will take a doo -doo. I don't care about that at all.

Because I'm a human being, bitch. I ate.

Oh, Marley. It's not always.

About you, darling.

Marley's like my lovers. He wants food and they want sex. That's it.

One -minded.

You know, I'm having a brunch here in a couple of days. Yes. I'm inviting all

the girls. I haven't seen them. Because the girls can be a little judgmental.

They come in, you know, they say, Grey Gardens, a little 80s feel there, you

know. I'm not going to lie. I liked quarantine.

I like to be alone.

And it did give me time to be a little bit more in touch with myself and

I had to move back here because I rented the apartment while this was rented.

But when the pandemic struck, forget it. This wasn't rented or sold. I had to

move back here. If no one's renting the townhouse, I can't be shelling out cash

every month to rent my little pied -a -terre in Columbus Circle.

And all my clothes are in storage.

So I'm wearing my pajamas every day like everybody else under a pandemic.

Well, you look chic, don't you? I am a guest in my own house until this gets

rented or sold.

First person who comes in here and says, you want $10 for this? I'll give you

$7. Great!

I'm out of here. It's all about taking care of me now. Yes, it's your time.

So I want a bubble bath now.

I'm glad I took the five months to take some time for myself and reevaluate

what's important to me.

All right, let me show you how to do my tub. Why can't you do this?

I don't know. This one.

So we're going to turn this on.

What's happened?

Wait, I don't even know how to do this either. Oh, God.

It's hot water.

Okay, here.

Here, yeah. Why are we using this?

I'm training you how to do it.

You're getting a master's, so you need to know how to do real life things. Yes,

you're right.

I'm learning so much.

This is my master's right here.

There is something magical about my internship because you can't learn what

know in the classroom.

Look at what's coming out here.

No, no, you have to put it on the... Oh, God, you don't even know that?

What is he saying?

How to load a dishwasher.

How to garden.

Then there's the bubble bath.

These are nuts.

Things you're going to learn at Wharton.

Thanks. Okay. All right. This had to be here.

I didn't even get it. Oh, no.

I look weird dressed.

Well, that's why I need more me time.

Let me cut this hair.

I don't know.

Hey, hey.

Okay, that's done.

Oh. Oh. You might not need to just hold this up.

Is that Leah?

Leah!

bring somebody.

Someone's knocking at my door. I have to go.

All right.

Can't wait to see the plane.

Okay, I can't wait to have you. Bye.

All right, bye.

There's just nothing like that.

Coming up.

You've been hanging out with Harry Dubin. You guys have been sucking face

over New York today. Why does everyone start in my life and end up in your bed?

I mean, no one's in my bed, baby.

I don't know you.

Come on in.

That pink Hermes bracelet looks fabulous.

Oh, thank you.

Okay, so it's been a day. I've been going since 9 -15.

I had Revolt Black News.

I had Holden Court stuff.

I need this drink. I've earned it. I don't know about you. Okay, yes.

So if I let you pick, do you want rosé?

Yes. Okay. I wear many hats professionally.

I am a lawyer by trade.

But I also work as a broadcaster. I currently host a show called Revolt

News. In some positive news, California Governor Gavin Newsom, he's forming a

task force to research reparations for the descendants of American slaves.

I also just launched a podcast called Hold in Court with Ebony K. Williams.

I think I'm the definition of a multi -hyphenate. So anyways, you know I love

Harlem. Well, you know I'm coming back. To what, to visit me? No, sis, I'm going

to buy. I remember you said you were looking at...

brownstones or something. Well, I was looking at brownstones. That was a

years ago. That was a couple years ago. And I told you what happened, y 'all.

I tried it. I went to the bank.

They had some new. I thought I was bawling. And then I forgot to check that

FICO.

And they were like, no one's going to give you a mortgage.

Like, no one. Like, not even your mama is going to give you a mortgage with

FICO. Because it was like, when I made that choice, right, you know, I was

practicing. Everything was great.

And then I wanted to do this broadcast.

I always wanted to be an attorney, so I started practicing law at 23.

Was at a big firm, didn't like that, went to be a public defender, loved it.

at some point in my legal career, it became clear that there was another

I decided I needed a bigger microphone, a bigger stage, more amplification.

I wanted to make it happen, and I was like, I'm going to bet on myself.

And I basically put every dollar, every cent I had into pursuing that. A lot of

things, like bills, fell through the wayside.

They were irresponsible.

Girl, the repo man was, ma 'am, where's your three series?

Right now.

Honey, I was like dodging, trying to park different places so they wouldn't

it. They found that damn car. They repossessed. And so I will never make

choices again.

And that was all on your credit.

And it was all on my credit.

So I took about a year and a half. You know, it's like poor, fair, good,

excellent. We are now bitches excellent.

doing my thing but now it's like bitch is on yeah like i'm on it worked out for

me but it almost didn't and so i will never take that for granted but i'm so

glad i bet on myself and you know what i always will because i'm a sure thing so

listen i'm buying a one bedroom currently we just closed contract oh you

yeah i think it's going fast and that's why i'm ready to get out of this

apartment to be honest and that's what we'll do that's what we'll do so you

in to help Pack. And take some stuff. Not these.

They come into Harlem. These glasses are not from Harlem.

Here

we

go. I'm going down to see the setup.

I really don't like the runner, but it's all set up now. What can I do? The

thing is that we want something low.

I have an affliction to runners.

I just, I grew up with a family of people who had runners and plastic over

rugs and plastic on the couch. Oh, this looks amazing.

Yeah, and I never take the tags off anything in case I don't keep it.

Hey, Lou. It's Ramona. How are you?

I'm good. I'm just getting ready for our little brunch over at Sonia Rita's.

Yeah, me too. I kind of feel like getting dressed up, and I Googled that

wear white all year round.

I will text you when I'm getting into the car.

Awesome. Corona is my neighbor.

I know. I love it. And lucky me.

And lucky me.

How are you feeling? I'm so excited, actually. You know what? This is going

be so fun.

I just hope they behave themselves.

Do you think they've met anyone like me before?

Like that person? No.

Because actually, no. I don't think they have. A black person like me. The Upper

East Side, you know, is not really my stomping ground. But y 'all, whatever.

You know, this.

Serves everywhere.

Did they ask questions?

Were they like, what's she like? Well, I only really talked to Sonya about it,

but she didn't ask too much.

She'll see it and believe it.

Honey, I am not new to this way of life. I've seen Lou on the charity circuit

for years in New York. I remember going to see her at Joe Zarin's house years

ago for a great charity event. So I totally could vibe with it. I shouldn't

be talking about them generally. It's just more like Ramona.

She's been a lot of messed up.

stuff with me she also promised me that she's not gonna like tell me like what

to say and do anymore but when was the last time you saw ramona actually a

couple months ago okay yeah and it was like cool you know it was um it was not

cool i'm not on bipolar medication how would i know that you know you know it's

gonna end up on the show and that's why you did it well and then we kind of Made

peace. Part of Leah reminds me of myself.

She beats her own drummer, and I respect that so much. Look, I mean, I am

willing to move forward.

More important though, I hope the food is very good here. I think it will be. I

don't miss no meals.

You know this is a serious situation with me and food.

Coming up.

Hi, Sonia.

I'll be right in. It's funky stone. You have to get the dirt off the top but not

take the dirt from the crack.

Is this for real right now?

All right. The infamous townhouse.

Oh, my God. My dress is open. You're hoo -ha?

Girl, I got you, girl.

No hoo -ha moments. No Britney moments.

I'm trying to cover the pond. I just cleaned the pond.

And I'm just trying to cover the stuff.

The things that have probably gone on in this place.

If these walls could talk. Yeah, if these walls could talk.

Oh, my gosh.

Here we are.

It looks like a normal, really nice Upper East Side townhouse. I mean, maybe

I, like, brought in a blacklight with me and, like, put it up to the walls and

the carpet, I might not even want to walk into the place.

But, you know, I'm happy to be here.

I just cleaned this garden twice, okay?

Hi, Sonia.

Hi. Hi.

I'll be right in, Leah. Let me just do the stone because nobody knows how to do

this. Do you need any help, Sonia?

This is like a specialized thing I'm doing. It's funky stone. You have to get

the dirt off the top but not take the dirt from the cracks.

Is this for real right now?

No, I'm serious.

This is for real? Okay.

One thing about me is I am on Sonia time. I am never ready personally when

guests arrive, but everything is ready for the guests, let's say.

Hi.

Hi. How are you? How are you?

You look gorgeous. Everyone I see, they go, oh, don't worry, I have the

antibodies. Is that like the... That's the new thing. I actually do have the

antibodies. Yeah, she actually does. I really do.

Like, I got six, so I got the antibodies.

You're so tiny.

I'm not sure about Ramona. I don't know if Ramona actually had the antibodies.

Did she have the antibodies?

Did she give the blood? She didn't give the blood. Who knows? We also lied about

donating your blood, which is disgusting. You know what? Just stop.

Did you donate your blood? Yes, I did. Ramona, she didn't give the blood. Okay.

I instinctively didn't believe that because I know she would have posted it.

She Instagrammed it. She Instagrams every little thing she does.

I got a new machine for coffee. It's taking me a half an hour to figure out

to work it.

I figured it out. I got my tea.

We'd see the whole bag of blood that she donated and her passing out or whatever

would ensue after doing it. This is an enchanted garden.

It really is. It's like you read about in the school books.

I'll just try to be PC, but if you notice, my fish are every color. I have

black, white, yellow. You look gorgeous. Black and orange. I see black, yeah,

biracial fish, yeah.

Body positivity, you have larger fish.

Yep, skinny ones, little ones. Skinny ones.

Everything. You better be the fish diversity bitch.

I feel Sonia's trying to connect on the racial diversity element of the moment.

But I think the fish effort is a bit lame.

I give her two points for trying.

So something just hit me.

I'm like the Debbie Downer right now because I like to keep it simple here.

And, you know, this is like this is an asset. But, you know, the money comes

the money goes out.

To support a house like this. And I just had a big deal go south.

I just can't seem to catch a break.

Oh, you're talking about Century 21.

Leah was there for me. Finally, I get this Century 21 situation where I found

purpose and having my clothes in a wonderful retail operation.

Century 21 is very, very proud to do this collaboration with Sonya Morgan.

Boom.

Done. I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me again.

So I'm doing well online, but we had big losses up front from the sewing

machines and these fabulous luxury fabrics and all that up front.

Are you 50 -50 partners?

I'm 54 % and it's my name, my brand. You're controlling partnership.

But if you're not making money, I'm not making money. That's the problem.

Are you looking at your own books on you? Yeah, I guess I do. Do you trust

Oh, I went to see the books.

These are the bottom lines.

Mustier, we lost paper.

Then we started, this is when you told me, we started to see a little

Oh, that was again a law?

That's from the fashion show. I got the tax violence, but I didn't get the book.

You need the book. You need to see the books. If you're 54 % partnership,

technically, you're controlling partnership status, and you need to see

books. Ooh, I'm seeing the lawyer coming out of that cleavage right there. I'm

sorry. I mean, not to get all badass, but... Get all badass, girl. You gotta

a boss.

Free legal advice?

You're talking to somebody that just had 35 lawyers. I could always use one in

the squad.

Wait, what kind of lawyer are you?

Every kind.

That's like you...

Now that we have a lawyer in the group, maybe we could find a plastic surgeon.

So do you feel you want children someday or you don't know?

Someday, bitch. I'm old.

But babies, yes.

You do?

See, I never knew. I was a total selfish bitch. I was on the Oprah track. I'm

going to be boss of the universe.

Yeah. And I don't have time for no baby slowing me down. And actually, no man

either. Right. But, right? No, I'm very serious. So that was my plan.

I met my now ex -fiance.

He had three children when we dated. It was basically like I realized, first of

all, there is nothing, I'm not telling y 'all anything you don't know, there is

nothing like that parental child relationship.

It's just a different kind of love. I do know that to build this legacy and this

beautiful family, that is going to cost something, right? That's going to

mean... Maybe slowing down a little bit of my goals and ambitions to dominate

the world.

You have an ex -fiance now.

I was with him for three and a half years, Sonia. He's been there, done

His kids are almost out the house. Two of them are in college. One's 13.

Just, we didn't want the same things out of life.

Yeah. Literally.

January. of this year, I was planning a wedding, but COVID made us tell the

truth. You know, he didn't want to have another baby. He said he did because he

wanted me. He didn't really want to be a dad again.

Number four is a lot.

Oh, guys start sweating bullets. My ex, when we were married, I was pregnant

with a second kid, and he was already, what, in his 70s, and he already had two

boys, and he was like excited, but he was really sweating it. He was like, you

know, I don't care how much money you have. If you're going to have to start

spending more money, for another 25 years?

That's a lot of money.

Coming up.

Yeah, we missed you all summer.

You didn't visit me or Lou this summer. What the heck happened to you? We were

talking. She's a new friend. We're your oldest friends in the world.

Right here, Ramona.

I saw the handsome guy down there. Of course you were.

Do you like the caviar, Ramona? How do you know? She knows me so well. Hi. How

are you? You're so pretty.

Thank you. Good to hear. I love your hair.

Wow,

Ramona. You look beautiful, Ramona. You're elegant. I wore heels, though.

Leah, how are you doing?

Hi, gorgeous.

You look incredible. Thank you. So do you. Oh, we went with the baby, huh?

you encouraged me.

So which color do you like the best? Orange and the yellow have to go.

No?

I explained everything.

I said, let me channel my inner Lou. You look great. Thank you. I don't know

Ebony well. I just know her socially and in passing, but I've always liked her

and thought she was beautiful.

Hi, Ramona.

Ebony. Hi, Ebony. What are some things about you? She has that, what we say in

French, je ne sais quoi.

Lou, Lou, who's new on the scene?

I have, you know, my trainer friend in the Hamptons.

Oh, yeah.

He's so cool. He's gorgeous.

Stunning, and he's just a healthy guy.

You know, he's sick, sick. You always go for the locals. Yeah, he's South

African. He used to play rugby for England. Oh, wow.

So crazy. So we just see each other. We're friends, and, you know, sometimes

play kissy -kissy.

Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes they have a little cardio.

You know,

I put in the universe, basically, that I want tall, blonde, and blue eyes.

And he appeared on a dating app, no less. I mean, I manifest these things.

you got a new boyfriend, Leah's telling me? Oh, yeah, honey. Boy, do you rebound

fast. How do you find a boyfriend during COVID? I need some lessons. Okay, so he

was my friend. I had friend -zoned him for a year. You don't get enough action.

Stop. She doesn't even remember her boyfriend's names.

Because they're not boyfriends.

They're not boyfriends. What are they? Just friends.

Friends with benefits or they're just friends?

You do that. I don't care.

You've been hanging out with Harry Dubin. I've been seeing you guys have

sucking face all over New York City. Yeah, gross.

Well, sometimes, you know, he gets a little frisky.

You know, he put it on him.

Seriously, Leah, you're getting that desperate to pick on me. It's about

He's such old news.

We're just friends. Not according to Sonia.

Sonia makes up stuff. She just likes to be funny.

And she lies. That's my point.

Take the average, Sonia.

Ramona has to stop denying.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

And where there's fucking face, as they say, there is hiding the salami. You're

wrong. You don't even know me. Okay, tell her when you have sex.

She says you don't know her. Why does everyone start in my life and end up in

your bed? I mean...

No one's in my bed, baby. Y 'all got some different kind of friendships than

used to.

Wait a second.

How did it jump to your dating? We want to hear about that.

I apologize.

Let's get back to this. All right, so this is a lovely gentleman who was a

friend for a year.

Wow. Love when that happens. And he just was talking about social justice and

the kneeling in the NFL, which, you know, I'm like a big sports fan.

He was captivating.

Yeah, he's a minority owner of a football team. Well, I mean, he could

introduce me to some football players. So I met him. No.

I know, I know. You should be dating the guy that owns the team, but the ones

that are playing are so hot. I'm working on Leah.

You got to get away from the talent, Leah.

Get to the ball. Hey, whatever makes her happy. She's young. She's her whole

life ahead of her. But that doesn't make her happy, Ramona. That's the problem.

Anyway.

Yeah, you're right. She needs to be happier and less hater. Set your goals

baby. All right. So with the new guy, who's wonderful, so adoring.

How many months?

One month, two months, three months?

Two months. All right. Wait, wait, wait. Does the new guy have kids?

Yeah, but they're grown. They're almost 30. Okay. They're all almost 30. How

many are off? Three.

Another three with this one? Yeah, but they're 29, 27, and 26. They're adults.

They're adults. They have kids of their own. You are getting fully loaded, guys.

I mean, they're just loaded. They are loaded with sperm. Oh, with a lot of

So you'll get pregnant right away with this guy.

You're going to get pregnant right away with this guy. Be careful. I hope so.

You never know, though. Are you on birth control?

Yes. Oh, maybe you should go off if you really want to. No, I don't want to trap

him. No, we don't want to trap him, but if you're... Are you sure, Sonia?

Can we get up and move around?

Let's move inside the other room.

Let's stay a second. I want to talk to you about something.

So what's that?

No, I just wonder because, you know, I haven't been drinking.

So I was just, well, during COVID, I was kind of going back and forth.

You know, because you know how it goes.

I can do this. I can control this part of my life. But I'm realizing now I just

really can't. Yeah. I really can't. It's a scary thing, you know, and I'm

struggling with it. And I just wanted to know where your head's at because I

feel like if you're a wingman for me because you told me that you're not

drinking right now.

And I'm not expecting you to say, oh, sign up as my sponsor and not drink.

Oh, my God, obviously.

I haven't drank since March 31st.

Yeah. And, like, you know, I'm just.

I have a reference point because I didn't drink for so many years. I think

was like a little bit like it wasn't like me stopping for the first time all

over again. You know what I mean? It was like I went back for nine years. Right.

Exactly. So I went back kind of easily got back into the swing of things like,

OK, and it's just like so much easier. Like I'm just so much more like this is

how it's supposed to be for me. Do you know what I mean? Great, because, you

know, it's really hard and very nerve wracking to be around everybody. And,

know, especially how this group, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

It's crazy.

You couldn't hold it until we got out.

Leah. Leah.

Leah.

I can be around her. I just feel like it would be good for me to know that I

have a wingman. I'm here.

You know what I mean?

Absolutely. There's nobody that likes to party more than me. Come on inside. We

have cheese and dessert.

Will it be a challenge to be around the girls and not drink? Sure.

It's going to be different than quarantining, but I'm ready.

Oh, my God. Oh, the dessert. Oh, I love this. Oh, that's the milk voice.

I love this. I can't take credit for any of this gracious food. It's just

beautiful. Well, you paid for it, so you can't take some credit.

John, you're reaching. You never fail at being a gracious hostess. Thank you.

Yeah, we missed you all summer. You didn't visit me or Lou this summer. What

heck happened to you? I did not. You're an MIA girl.

You're talking about.

We were talking.

She's a new friend. We're your oldest friends in the world. Are you talking

about October, November?

We're talking about January, March, April, May, June, July, August.

I was alone. I was in the desert, just walking around alone, like all alone,

every day alone in my little room. No, it's not about that. It's about we're

your besties, and we haven't heard from you.

Coming up.

You know what? I felt an immediate bond with you, and I don't really feel that

with many people. It's just easy.

It feels very easy. You said that to me when I first met you, too.

Who?

It's not about that. It's about we're your besties and we haven't heard from

you. No, Louis would say, have you heard from Sonia? I go, no, have you heard

from Sonia? She goes, no. I go, what's going on? Because we usually, one of us

hears from you. Century 21 just really, it shocked me.

I'm just like, what rug is going to be pulled down next?

Yeah, but we hadn't heard from you in six months previous to that. Eight

You don't know really what's going on. But I don't like to bother you guys.

I don't like to bother you. Sorry, another time.

Right now, Sonia is not in a good position.

Century 21 went out of business. The townhouse, we thought that was gone.

This is, in a way, very heavy on her psychologically, and I do not want her

spiral downward because of it.

Let's have a getaway.

Let's go.

Why don't you come out to the Hamptons as you have not graced us with your

company. You've been inviting me. Yeah, we should all go to the Hamptons. I'd

love to get out of the city. And Ebony, you come too.

I'm glad that you guys would include me. I felt an immediate bond with you and I

don't really feel that with many people.

It's like you've been here forever. It's very easy.

You said that to me when I first met you too.

Well, I agree. Thank you.

I've already felt the singer stinger last year, and I am going to do my damn

best. to make sure that Ebony doesn't have to go through what I went through.

So are we going to all stay together?

Yeah. You have to come to my house also. You haven't seen my house out there. I

have a beautiful house. Beautiful. It's in Sag Harbor. I know it's beautiful.

Well, Sag Harbor is my favorite in the whole Hamptons. You know this. So you

know Sag Harbor. It's a very spiritual connection for me because Sag Harbor was

really the first community on Long Island and of the big major resort towns

allowed black people to own property, waterfront property, during that era. So

what year is that?

This was like the 1940s. But the fact that black people could own waterfront

property, not hardly a generation or so after slavery. I mean, it's remarkable.

So Sac Harbor is very special to me. I never heard that before. Yeah. I never

heard that either. Yeah.

You know, this is where I've been for the last, you know, nine months during

COVID. Right.

Ramon has been in Florida and, you know, there.

But anyway.

You know, typically, we do, like, a trip to the Hamptons. So, you know, this is

kind of like our girls bonding moment.

Which sometimes works out and sometimes doesn't.

People! Stop! Shut up! Stop!

What's wrong with you?

Yes, I'm excited.

Seriously, I heard nice things about you, but you're actually nicer than they

said. I never said that. You got it all wrong. Then you need to clean your ears

out and listen.

Leah, I don't know. That pink kind of clashes with the red and black, but

Let's wear a black bag with it. That's too.

Can you wait till she leaves to talk?

Okay. You're not going to treat me like I'm the.

I don't need to hear it. I'm not talking. I love the bag. I love you.

What happened to talking behind people's back? No,

it's a new day.

This season on The Real Housewives of New York City.

Go, Leah!

Go, Leah!

She's getting more action than the toilet seat.

This is how it is to have a walker when I get older.

We look so hot. We actually look really hot.

Welcome to Harlem.

I like Ebony a lot.

Ooh, you can twit!

I'm not Toni Morrison in this bitch. I can't be teaching y 'all everything.

Diana. Noah, Michelle.

Ugh, I get my health wrong.

She says she get her health wrong.

The help comment was a little triggering for me. Here's the hospitality

assistant. I have more education, frankly, than anybody at this table.

come into my house and tell me I don't have an education.

I can leave your house, Mom. Oh, my God, my ears are hurting. Meet Garth. Oh, no

wonder Luanne's so happy.

Garth, Garth, Garth. It's always Garth. Hey, Garth. Oh, Jesus.

How are you? Picked up on the first ring.

All right.

It's better than f***ing 1692.

I just feel like, check the f*** out.

Stop drinking, Morgan!

Stop the drinking. Get real.

I can't be around this. Stop. Stop.

Open the door. Don't overstep your boundaries. I will step wherever the

want to. You're preaching me. That's gaslighting. You know what? You're

gaslighting me. Why do you have to be in everyone's business like a Karen?

Do you understand what I'm saying? Not really.

He was my guy. He was never your guy. Yes, he was.

You don't want to be here and listen. Get the fuck out.

What happened to class and elegance? His dick is bigger than his ball. Thank

God. Okay,

here we go. Leo, here we go.
