Previously on "The Real
Housewives of Rhode Island"...

Hi, gorgeous.

- In Rhode Island...
- Dolly!

...everyone knows everyone.

- Hello!
- Love shack fancy

at your finest.

We know your aunt,
we know your uncle,

we know your third cousin.
- Alicia, have you seen Liz?

She has a very
big fear of frogs.

I've known Liz since I was born.

Look at you, baby,
you've got everything.

I know Kelsey because
I grew up with her boyfriend.

She used to date
my boyfriend's brother.

I've known Jo-Ellen
since I was in high school.

- Rhode Island is different.
- Yeah.

Because it's so close-knit.

It's like if you're not
from Rhode Island?

Suspect.

Like, I don't know what
the right thing to do is.

Kelsey, you know,
she's going through a lot.

Like, her boyfriend
has a girlfriend here

and a girlfriend in Florida, no?

Rosie was
questioning your relationship.

Was it brought up by you about
the way my relationship is?

Jo-Ellen brought it up.

- Jo-Ellen brought it up?
- Yeah.

Welcome to Rhode Island,
where nobody tells

anybody the truth,
and everybody just lies to

each other's faces, but talks
sh-- behind their back.

Welcome! I love it here.

- Ma!
- What?

- Mother-in-law.
- Come on, look at us.

Father-in-law.

Gerry and I have
been married 11 years,

and I think Gerry's a perfect

culmination
of both of his parents.

Judy, where do
you want me to put my stuff?

I was gonna say put it in my
bedroom, but the cat's in there.

They're fabulous people.

I couldn't love them more.

What are you making tonight?

I was gonna do Briana's
favorite, the rigatonis.

The mini ones.

Gerry, are you excited
to meet the parents?

I can't wait.

My stepdaughter,
Briana's life has been

a whirlwind.

She met this guy,
and before

you knew it,
she was pregnant.

That was pretty quick.
It was only a couple of months.

You know?

Gerry, she told him and he went,
oh, he almost passed out.

How many times
have you met Zach?

- Four or five.
- He's a nice guy.

And he's got gorgeous teeth.

What are you going
to ask them?

My granddaughter's pregnant.
What should I say?

You're not going to ask them
when the ring's coming?

No. Let's feel him out.

- Hi, Grandpa.
- Hi, sweetheart.

- How are you?
- How are you?

I love you. Hi, guys. Mwah.

Yeah, really.

Gerry's daughters
mean the world to me,

even though
I didn't give birth to them.

I feel like a part of my blood
courses through them.

- Aw...
- I know. It's so gross.

When Gerry and I first met,

the girls were really little
and ended up with us full time.

It was a time that was

more appropriate for them
to be with us

and not with
their biological mother.

I definitely did not expect

that full time mom role
that fast.

It's not like
a round belly yet.

You can have half of mine.

Before that, I decided
when I woke up,

I decided when I went to bed.

I decided what I did
with my free time.

It was quite a change.
I always wanted kids of my own.

I never thought
it would happen this way.

But Gerry's girls really
fulfilled that need for me.

Oh, here they come.

Poor Zach is
nervous for his parents.

- Are you?
- How are you?

I've heard a lot about you.
- Do it.

I want you to meet
the rest of the family.

- Hi, Liz.
- How are you?

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Your son is a beautiful
human being. He really is.

Family is very important to me.

I lost my mom when I was 15,

my dad shortly
before I got married.

Miranda, we didn't think
you were gonna make it.

So being all together with
Gerry, with the kids, it just

feels safe, it feels real,
it feels right.

- Three girls, huh?
- Yeah. It's brutal.

It's brutal.
- You have no say.

None whatsoever.
You have a grandson hopefully.

I'm gonna will it to you.
Can you feel it?

I have a feeling it's a girl.

- Really?
- Want a girl?

You want a girl? Really?

He's wanted a girl
the whole time.

This is the first grandbaby.
It's like a new chapter.

It's new life.

Anytime life comes in,
it's nothing but joy.

- Mangia, let's go. Enjoy.
- Thanks, Nan.

What do I want to be called?
Certainly not Glama.

Anything Grand. Anything Nan.

Anything Non. None of that.
I like Gigi.

Let's cheers to Briana.
Zach, the baby.

- Best of luck to you guys.
- Cheers, cheers.

All right.
Let's go explore this park.

You want to run?
Where do you want to go?

You think there's duckies
over here, Jolie?

I bet the ducks are in there.

I'll put the blanket down here
in this little tree cove.

Why don't you play catch with
Dawson? Can you guys play throw?

You guys want
to throw a little bit?

All right. Go fetch.

I'm telling the kids to
play fetch. You like that?

Yeah. Wouldn't be the first
time I have ever said that.

What I was
surprised when I first

met Jo-Ellen
was that she is so much

friendlier and warmer
than I ever imagined.

I really want to, like,
get the kids together.

- That would be nice?
- Wouldn't that be cute?

Because they're
the exact same age.

- I know, and I love that.
- Yeah.

There are, like,
some rumors around the state

that she can be quite a bitch,

but she is really friendly.
I mean.

Yeah, she's
not scared of a fight.

I do not want to be on
Jo-Ellen's bad side. Mm-mm-mm.

I had the best time at
your 4th of July party.

- Thank you.
- It was so much fun.

And Jared is
not one for, like, big

social events,
and he left being like,

oh, my gosh,
everyone is so nice.

Thank you. I'm so glad
that you had fun.

I feel like
your first impression of me

at Rosie's picnic...
- Oh, I was.

Honestly, wasn't fazed by it.

Rosie, shut the [bleep] up.
Like, are you out of your mind?

I did tell Kelsey at the--
at the 4th of July

about the picnic how
Rosie and Alicia were, like,

questioning her relationship.

That was kind of what was
bothering me a bit about Rosie.

I feel like
you guys will be fine.

I just need to exist
around her.

Why don't you guys just,
like, start completely clean?

That's the plan. Right now,
I'm just trying

to turn over a new page.

It's not that I think that Rosie
and my personality doesn't mesh.

I think that there's
very big similarities.

We both like
aesthetic treatments.

We're both brunettes.

All right,
Dawson, you want to go

over here and explore
a little bit more?

Come on, Jojos.

Um, she's very photogenic.
Sometimes I am, too.

That's all
I've got for right now.

Jojo, you want to go
in the swing? Where's Jolie?

Climbing up like a big girl.

So Jared's at work
right now, you said, right?

How is the business doing?

It's a constant stress.

The ice machine's
not working again. [Bleep] me.

It's always something else,
I swear.

I wanted to support his dream.

- Yeah.
- I had no idea

that there's,
like, such thing as, like.

It's called, like, a bar widow
or something

where, like, the husband's
at work all the time.

- Oh, I see.
- Yeah.

Now when he's home,
he has, like, a lot of stress.

This is not a good swing.

- I know.
- This is an awful swing.

He is constantly
feeling like he's failing.

We have sunshiny days
sometimes,

but they're
very far and few between.

It's just hard
to always be like,

he's not happy,
he's not happy.

And he's always like, "It's
not the kids and it's not you."

He feels like he's
not being a good enough

father and husband,
because he's not bringing

anything to the table
with his project.

He is.
And do you tell him that?

Every day of my life, yeah.

He tells me all the time.

He's like, whenever
"I'm moody and dark,

It's not about you.
It's never about you."

But it's hard not to
blame yourself and always

try to figure out,
how do I make him happy?

I want him to have his moments
where he gets to go play golf

and play softball
without me being annoyed.

But then it's like,
holy crap...

I know. And right now,
you're in the thick of it.

You really, really are.

I think Ashley tries to
portray this

Instagram,
perfect family, perfect kids.

However, I also understand
being a mom. It's very hard.

I feel her frustration.

We have a nanny
33 hours a week.

I should be able to handle it.

But, Ashley,
you need peace of mind, too.

Oh, baby.

I don't know
why I'm crying so much.

It's okay.

What's up, sweetie?

Table for three. Thank you.

Thank you.

- All righty.
- You wanna have a drink?

- Does the dog have an ass?
- Does a beer sh-- in the woods?

Can I grab you ladies
a cocktail while you're waiting?

Can I do a lemon drop martini
on the rocks?

- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

Hendrick's.

Little bit of pomegranate,
extra lemons.

- You got it.
- Thank you.

Did you order a Caesar?
I don't think we did.

Maybe Rulla
ordered it preemptively.

"Have my Caesar salad
waiting for me, please."

I've known Rulla
over a decade now.

We know each other
through the boating community.

Boat parties with friends is

a big thing in the summer
in Rhode Island.

Also, Rulla and I
have heritage in common.

I'm half Syrian, Rulla's
half Syrian, and I typically

really always adore
my Middle Eastern girls.

- Hello.
- Good to see you.

I haven't seen you in so long.
I would think.

- This is the time of life.
- How are you?

- Good.
- Hi, Kelsey.

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.

I've known Rulla through Liz.

She's classy and very,
like, put together.

She's very, like,
calm and monotone.

We literally just get Rulla at,
like, this one baseline level.

A spicy margarita, please, hon.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's--
She's got some emotions.

If there's no emotions down
there, we've got a problem.

We have a serial killer
on our hands.

How was the 4th?
What'd you guys end up doing?

Jo-Ellen hosted a party.

It was fun.

I feel like...

Just say it.

Been a little bit more
on the outside lately.

What is it about
the both of you that makes

you want to
hang out with Jo-Ellen?

Jo-Ellen and I have definitely
had our ups and downs.

She is a rep
in the beauty business.

My husband Brian and I know
a lot of people in the industry.

She comes across
as friendly, bubbly.

But that's not always
the truth.

You guys said
she's a sh-- stirrer.

She's talking about me and
my husband stirring up rumors.

"Oh, they're getting a divorce.

Oh, he's leaving her for this
petty----ing slut."

You have to know,
like, I have your back.

Like, you have to know,
the second

I hear a echo of something,

I'm calling you
in the same breath.

I know you, Rulla.

I know that you're
never going to want to, like,

admit, like,
something's----ed up.

From what I've ever
seen of Brian and Rulla,

they've always looked
like the perfect couple.

They've always
looked super happy.

However, there are echoes all

around Rhode Island that
Brian's got a...

"mistress."

He has a mistress.

Are you open
to talking about it?

Are you open
to talking about it?

Liz called.
We started to talk.

She was just,
like, nervous about it.

Obviously uncomfortable,
I should say, right?

And she's like, look,
I don't know. There were some.

I said, there are
photos posted online.

I put you in touch with
the person who found them.

You did. You did. You did.

She put me in touch

with Jo-Ellen, who obviously
happened to see him.

Jo-Ellen apparently had some
photos that were posted of

Brian and that...
cockroach.

At first,
I thought that Jo-Ellen was

trying to be
supportive and help me.

'Cause that's
what it sounded like.

Until I learned that she had
shared the pictures with

the whole group and was running
her mouth about town about it.

And that
that was not okay with me.

In that photo of
Brian and that lady,

that photo was taken.

He posted that in
the wintertime, from what

I understand and she had,
like, a summer outfit on.

So, like, do you think this has
been going on for a long time.

- It was last summer.
- What about now? What about now?

Nothing's been happening.
That's been done.

This is not still ongoing.
This has not been ongoing.

Show me that it's ongoing.

So it stopped.
That was the end of it, right?

Well, what are you insinuating
the truth is?

- Babe.
- There was a lot of talk.

My husband's involved and/or
still involved.

But he is, babe. He's there.

It's pretty out there that Brian
is still doing his thing

with this woman,
if Rulla chooses to not

acknowledge what's really
going on and live in that land

of delusion, I'm sorry,

Elizabeth is allergic
to bullsh--.

You gotta stop
with the prideful thing.

Your stupid, proud wear--

like, it doesn't--
it's not benefiting you.

We've all been through it.

I know you've all,
and I know you have.

And you shared with me.

You've been
through stuff with Gerry.

You didn't kick him
to the curb.

Like, you took time,
you processed.

You thought about stuff.

And look at you guys, how many
years you've been together.

Liz has shared with me
her issues, you know,

with Gerry and misunderstandings
and indiscretions.

She's done her thing,
and he's done his thing.

You know, he'd be away or on
a fishing excursion or whatever.

And they say when the cat's
away, the mice shall play.

I'll leave it at that.

There's a lot that
I just am not--

Willing to say this is
going on because you have kids.

I understand.
- That's what it is, too.

When you produce the kids with
somebody, it is a game changer.

Gerry has kids.
You don't have your own.

I don't mean it in--
You know what I'm saying?

When you produce them with
someone,

not when you bring them up
when they're----ing 3

'cause they don't
have a mother to do it.

But all right, continue.

- No, no, no.
- Continue.

No disrespect there,
what I'm saying--

No, I felt a little bit.
Continue.

No, that's not how I meant it.
That's not how I meant it.

That's how you said it.

No, I didn't have my own kids.

But you have no idea
what I've done in my life.

Bringing up kids,
maybe not producing...

For you to say to me,
"When you produce the kids..."

Then take it back,
then you take it back.

I apologize. I care for you.

I did not mean it that way,
and I hope you know that

I didn't mean it that way.

But I swear to you,
you know, my husband,

we've been in a great place.

I just would like
everybody to respect that.

There's a lot of
fake info out there.

I know. I feel that way.

I've been in the same
exact position as you.

I get it. Believe me.

I can, like, sympathize
with Rulla in this situation.

Jo-Ellen's 4th of July party--
like, everyone had questions.

Rosie was
questioning your relationship

and polygamy, and Alicia

was like,
does Kelsey have two boyfriends?

Rumors in Rhode Island
are like wildfire.

Whether they're true or not,
they spread.

What other people think,

I'm learning
it's none of my business.

Yeah, baby.
Bring it, bring it.

Watch out for the fire.

Maybe they weren't
my "biological children,"

but I sacrificed my life
for you.

Yeah, we're not gonna go there.

- Coming up...
- Everybody in the group has

made it their business
to talk about us.

Right, I know. What happened
last year happened last year.

Chandon,
that sounds expensive.

Extra dry. I don't like dry.

A whispering angel.
This is good sh--.

She needs options.

Do you wanna use this?
Curl your hair with it.

Six months out of the year,
my boyfriend is in Miami,

so, like, I have

this 16,000-square-foot home
all to myself.

You put it on here,
and you press.

All right? Get it, get it.

At our house, there is

a full live-in cleaning lady
literally

there living with us,
like at our beck and call.

Someone's at the door,
Christina.

- Right now?
- Yeah.

Dishes, laundry.
I'm not meant for that life.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How you doing?
- How are you?

Alicia, hi.

Good to have you.
How are you?

- I'm good. How are you?
- Good.

I meant to get cheese,
so I brought crackers.

You know I love crackers,
but the line was like too long

to get cheese. So I said, oh,
whatever, we'll figure it out.

You know, you're always
good for a good cracker.

- I know.
- If you are from Rhode Island,

born and bred,
you are a different person.

You're a breed.
Alicia? So Rhode Island.

So, you know, I came here
before a long time ago.

- Ten years ago...
- Mm-hmm.

He had, like,
a 4th of July party,

and my best friend Crystal
left me on the side of the road.

I had to walk
to a Dunkin' Donuts.

'cause my phone died.
- What? From here.

Yeah. I almost died.
Yeah. Swear to God.

Well, I didn't almost die,

but, like,
I had to walk on 4th of July.

She left me in the woods.

The way she talks,
her mannerisms,

not wanting
to drive on the highway.

This highway, the traffic,
and this little bridge.

Stupid car. Fix your car.

I don't like highways.
I've gotten in accidents.

I ran over a woman.

I've gotten almost
driven off a bridge.

So I've been there, done that
with driving.

Yeah, I ran over a woman.

So kind of feel bad 'cause
I feel like

at the 4th of July party,
which was great, by the way.

Did you have fun?
- I had fun.

I had so much fun.

The whole situation
that happened at the picnic,

you know, I shouldn't
have said what I said.

Listen, I appreciate
you saying that.

And I get
everyone's gonna have questions.

I'm not mad at Jo-Ellen, but

if she segued this conversation
into, like, Rosie asking

anything about my relationship,
would I have rather not?

I wasn't malicious about it.

I was just, like,
you know, being a little nosy.

Yeah. No, listen.

That's Rhode Island for ya.
- Yeah.

- Speaking of rumors.
- Yeah.

Me and Liz
saw Rulla the other night,

and she is
not a fan of Jo-Ellen.

- No.
- Jo-Ellen's the gasoline to

the mistress fire
that's going on right now.

She just keeps pumping it
and pouring the gasoline on it.

I actually really like Rulla.
Her family owns a jewelry shop

that we go to that's
really close with Billy.

Her family also goes
into Billy's restaurant a lot.

I feel like she's
got a bougie vibe to her.

When Rulla talks,
she's like, very fancy.

"Hi. Yes.
Yes, Alicia. I believe that."

What is their deal?

According to her,
there is no deal.

Everything's
status quo and hunky dory.

So he's not cheating?

- Not according to her.
- Okay.

Again, I haven't
talked to her about it.

I keep hearing all these stories
and I'm like, oh, my God.

Please, someone give me
something. I want to know.

We need to,
like, all come together

and just talk and, like,
be honest.

I think we all have heard
certain things about each other.

You didn't really understand
the reality of my situation.

Rosie sure doesn't.
Sometimes you just need

to address things head on.

I feel like it's time
that we all channel

our inner Hilary Duff
and decide to come clean.

Yep. I knew
that was gonna happen.

See, this is why I'm psychic.
I knew that was gonna happen.

Oh, God. Where's Christina
when you need her?

Are you open?

Was I talking about it?

One, go!

Whoo!

Feels nice, huh?

Good job, Princess P.

I know you've been
wanting to go in all day.

It's been busy, busy, busy.

Rhode Island is a very
special place to grow up in.

I was born right in the capital,
Providence, Rhode Island.

I live in an upscale town--
Lincoln, Rhode Island.

I wouldn't live
where Jo-Ellen lives.

I would never live in Cranston.

It's just not my vibe.

Let's see you, my little pea.

I am a nautical girl.
I own a boat.

I'm one of the only
female captains in Rhode Island.

Watch out, boys. This bitch is
coming. Drop the mic. Here I am.

Go fully. Let's see.

I run my own
financial planning firm.

I definitely have a reputation
as being boss bitch.

I had Andrea put together
your consolidated report,

just showing the total value
of the portfolio.

Everybody tells me
that I run a tight ship,

especially at the office.

But the well-being and care
of my two children is paramount.

Good one, bub.

My son Luca
is very close to my heart.

If you ruin my hair extensions,
guess where

the money's
coming from for new ones?

- Oh, your bank account?
- No. Your bank account.

No. Yours.

Laila.
She is a sass queen.

Look at you.

All right,
give them back to Mommy

because we have to get moving.
- Hey, guys.

Mommy, watch this.

Okay, honey. Whoa!

Look at you!

- How are you?
- I'm good. How are you doing?

I've been with my
husband Brian for 12 years,

married for nine.

He's a podiatrist. He does
a lot of foot and ankle surgery.

Patient is here today for
follow-up of ingrown toenail.

Patient states
that they are doing much better,

not having much pain.

Normally I love tall, dark,
handsome, and my husband is

lighter, a little shorter,

And I think he's handsome.

He checked
one of the three boxes.

Just keep an eye on
your sister, all right?

You want to order
them something to eat?

- Yeah.
- You guys want pizza?

How about chicken parm
or chicken kebab?

I am of Lebanese
and Syrian descent.

My dad's from Beirut, Lebanon.

My mom's from a small town
in Syria. Brian is 100% Italian.

The two cultures and
those nationalities just mesh

as far as,
like, what's important.

Family. Family. Family.

That's been one of the easiest
parts of the marriage.

It's just
killing me because everybody

in the state
has made it their business.

And everybody in the group has

made it their business
to talk about it.

- Right, right. I know.
- Like, instead of firing away on

stuff you don't know, like,
come and speak with the source.

What happened last year
happened last year.

And it's in the past.
I just want to move forward.

When I saw the cheating
pictures, I looked at Brian,

and I said, "Is there
anything that I should know?

You better tell me now."
He broke down a bit.

He said it was done.

That's it, you know,
Begging, pleading, crying.

I'm still working on that.

I'm really just tired of
everybody making it way bigger

than what it is
and making it their business.

We know we're strong.
Obviously, I'm with you.

I let you track me. You know
where I am every second.

I love my wife.
I love my family.

They're just jealous, you know?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Coming up...

Rul-la-la is coming?

You wanna start sh--?
'Cause I will----ing bring it.

I'm gonna ruin
your----ing life.

- So beautiful. Hi.
- Hi!

Come in.
Come in the kitchen.

Have a seat. I feel
like I need a glass of wine.

Well, you're gonna get
plenty of it at this winery.

We're gonna do winery.
- Love, love.

Why don't we, like,
get, like, a party bus or

something so
none of us have to drive.

We'll meet at your house
so that you don't have to drive

anymore.
- We'll meet at my house.

Exactly. Make it easier.

But I'm gonna,
like, pack some snacks, too.

'Cause I need my crackers
just in case.

We have snacks.

I don't leave the house without,
like, a quick carb.

I love my saltines
'cause in case I get nauseous.

Nuts for protein in case I feel
lightheaded. I love a cracker.

My figs, you know.

You never know
when you need a fig.

Fig Newtons keep me full.
And I feel like it's healthy for

a cookie because it has,
like, a fig that's a fruit.

This is so amazing.

- It's nice and cool in here.
- Oh, look, someone's here.

I'll close it for you.
Thank you so much.

- Hi!
- Hi, guys.

Look at you. You look cute.

Do I look like Minnie Mouse?
Like, I don't...

No, you look like
a little Bratz doll.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Liz! With the Prada.

You look beautiful.
A gilded age.

You look like
a medieval princess.

Ashley's outfit is different.

- Did you want it tighter?
- Tight, yeah.

Is she, like,
turning Irish or something?

I don't know if that's
like a medieval something.

A folklore person. Like when
they folklore or something.

You know,
when they had the lambs

and the women on
the mountains?

Folklore. What the [bleep]?

I'm like,
please tell me it's a word.

- Ciao.
- Hi, gorgeous.

- Thank you.
- Beautiful.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

- What's going on?
- I feel fine seeing Jo-Ellen.

Jo-Ellen's actually really fun
when she's not being mean.

Hopefully it goes well.
Like, fingers crossed,

you know, like...

Yeah, let's go. Effing go.
L-F-G.

- All right, who wants champs?
- Me.

Oh, my God.

- I didn't do anything.
- That was a gunshot.

All right, we're okay.
It's fine. It's fine.

All right, guys.
Thanks, everyone, for coming.

- Thanks for having this idea.
- Cheers.

I moved to Rhode Island
because when you marry a boy

from Rhode Island,
you move to Rhode Island.

I've lived here
for four and a half years,

and it would be nice to

have a group of women
in Rhode Island

that I can be friends with.

Oh, my gosh.
Making friends in your 30s,

like, is it even supposed
to be a thing?

Were we evolved to make friends
in our 30s?

- You look like a spicy--
- Oh!

You look like
a champagne chalice. I can't.

I just got it all over my legs.
- I'm excited.

I love wine vineyards.

- We're going to have fun.
- Yeah.

I mean, I feel like there's a
lot to discuss, but I feel--

I want to have fun.

We can sip and see
what happens.

It's going to be a fun day.
Guys, we're here.

Kelsey, thank you.
We needed this.

Welcome to Newport Vineyards.

If you guys want to
follow me, right this way.

I feel like
we're not even that much

wine drinkers,
but we're going to start today.

I love rosé.

- Is rosé wine?
- It's a red and white.

It's a blush.
- Oh.

I like cheap wine.

I like what
they call stripper juice

and, like,
the $8 a bottle wine.

Give me that, and I'll be happy.

So the stainless steel tanks are
home to our white wine

and the rosé.

Isn't this what
they use for the heroin?

It kind of reminds me
of "Breaking Bad" right now.

I was like, wait a minute.

I wouldn't say
that I'm a wine connoisseur.

I would say
that I'm a wine snob.

I try to buy
the more expensive bottles,

hoping that I don't get
hungover.

It's actually so pretty.

Oh, my God,
the grapes are so small.

- So cute.
- Oh, my God, they are cute.

What is it?
It looks like poison ivy.

- That's tomatoes?
- It's not tomatoes.

It's grapes.
We're at a vineyard.

She said that's a tomato.

All right, guys,
you ready to grab some lunch?

I'm so ready. I need
my grilled cheese immediately.

Jo, come here.

Welcome, ladies.

Oh, my God.
It's name-plated.

Wait a minute.
Is that a Ru-La-La?

- Oh, Ru-La-La's coming.
- Why is she here?

- Liz and me met with her.
- Lovely.

I haven't known Rulla very long.
I just know her through Liz.

However, I 100% am
getting the brunt of

the blame from Rulla.

Her husband was having an
affair, and I shared a picture

that the mistress
posted on the Internet.

...is gonna turn up tonight.

Why don't they get along--
Jo-Ellen and this girl?

So there were echoes of

Rulla's husband having,
like, an affair.

And, like, Jo-Ellen took
a picture and sent it to Rulla.

She was the one that was,
like, the informant?

Yeah, she was a messenger.

She's got little kids,
and her husband's

a foot doctor,
but I think he's doing

more than rubbing foots.

Do you want some cheese?

I mean, I'm not here to,
like, you know,

publicize that her husband's
having an affair, she knows it.

She's pretending
that she doesn't know it.

Oh, my God. I mean, come on.

I sent her the pictures where
the husband and, like,

the mistress are making out.

Last year,
right around New Year's,

I saw a picture on Instagram.

It was Brian, Rulla's husband,
with another woman.

And I sent it to Liz.

Liz showed Rulla,
and Rulla called me.

She was begging me
for the pictures.

She's like, "Please, like, woman
to woman, send them to me."

So I did. And you could hear
her breath be like...

I said, "If you have questions
for Jo-Ellen,

you should probably ask her."

It's not my question. Her
husband's the one stepping out.

Don't---ing ask me
a single thing.

Liz said that. And Liz said
that you should probably--

It's not my problem.
You want to call my job?

You want to start sh--
'cause I will----ing bring it.

- I didn't even bring that up.
- You didn't bring

she called my job?
- No, I didn't get to that point.

Well, you know, like,
that's a big deal to me.

Fast forward six months later,
Rulla and her husband

called my work,
wrote emails into HR

complaining about me
to try to get me fired,

all because he knows that I know
that he's having an affair.

I don't know what my job
has to do with this.

This is my reputation.

So for somebody to
with me and my career.

Listen, she feels like...

I don't give a
what she feels.

Tell her to keep
her husband's dick in his pants.

That's not my problem.
Don't come at me because

your husband's
sleeping with somebody.

What do I have to do with it?

with my husband,
with my kids,

with my job? I'm gonna
ruin your----ing life.

Can I have bread?

Can you hand me, like,
a square?

Like a piece of cheese?
- I'm gonna, like, die.

This is a lot.

Don't come at me because
your husband's having an affair.

What do I have to do with it?
I don't give a sh--

If her husband's
cheating on her, that's not my

ing problem,
that's his problem.

And I've made
that very crystal clear to her.

So before she walks in,
I needed to warn you.

Let's go.
- Okay.

- Come on.
- All right.

This woman's husband is

a foot doctor and
may have had an affair.

And Jo-Ellen may have let her
know about the affair.

- They're coming back over here.
- You're sitting right here.

- I'm here.
- Hi, baby.

I know we have
an extra placecard over here.

Um...

- Hi, ladies.
- I thought it was Rulla.

Do you guys want to wait
a minute to put your food in?

Oh, no, I know what I want.
I want the grilled cheese.

I'm gonna do a cheese pizza,
well done.

Shaved roast beef.

I really don't want the bread.

Can I get anybody
anything else?

- Okay,
- You look really upset.

You know,
I'm not trying to be this awful,

mean person, but this person
tried to hurt me and my job.

When you come after my work
and my financial state,

you're not just coming after me.

You're coming
after my children and my family.

Gary pays the mortgage.

I pay for every single
other thing in the house.

So to try to ruin that,
that's not acceptable.

Oh, wait.
Rulla's Facetiming me.

Rulla?
- How are you?

- Hi.
- Hi, Lizzy. I'm so sorry.

I'm not gonna be able
to make it today, beautiful.

I was at the----ing urgent care
for, like, two hours.

Shut up, Alicia.

Who cares?
- It sucks.

I wanted to be there with you
and have fun with everybody.

Hoping to feel better.

Well, feel better, Dolly.

Bye. Bye.
Thanks for calling.

What happened?
Where was she?

No, she was in bed
with a hat on and full glam.

A hat and full glam?

She's not sick.
She gets headaches

because she's stressed out
from taking too much Ozempic.

Have a protein bar.
Get a turkey leg from Ashley.

I'm done. I don't want
to talk about her anymore.

I'm so hungry. Thank you.

Thank you.

- I have a little game.
- I love a game.

I feel like
we've all said something,

we've all heard something.

I know I was
talked about at the picnic.

Never have
I ever been a polygamist.

I thought Kelsey was that,
like, her boyfriend has

a girlfriend here and
a girlfriend in Florida, no?

So, like, I have questions,
but I think you have questions.

You have questions.
You have questions.

No more talking about
each other behind their backs.

Let's bring it out on the table.

I've been used to
so many rumors about

my relationship
for the last decade of my life.

All right,
everyone gets a box.

Kelsey, you're creative.

Everyone has questions
about my relationship,

about everyone else's
relationship.

I'm bringing
the purifiers because it's

time to clear the air.

If you have questions, comments,
concerns, something you've heard

about any one of us, you're
gonna put it in the envelope,

and you're gonna write
the person that it goes to.

And then we're all
gonna read our own box.

Everything is anonymous.

Oh, my God.
I got Sharpie on my nail.

That'll never come out.
- I'm gonna collect.

Who wants to do
the honors of being the first?

"Ashley, when did
you lose your virginity?"

I was, like,
on the verge of 30.

29?

I lost my virginity
when I was 14.

- So 29.
- Something around there.

Basically, I just wanted
to wait for the right person.

So I ended up being a virgin
for a bit of a time.

"Alicia, did you hook up
with Gary?" Never. Not once.

No. Did you ever
think I really hung up?

- I just didn't know.
- He's like a brother. I would.

No, never. I've known Gary
since I was, like, 3 years old.

I prayed for him in communion.
Like he was my prayer partner.

Rosie's next.

Oh, this is a good one...

Who wrote that?

I don't know.
Probably Jo-Ellen.

- I did.
- That's a big rumor about me.

I've never even met him. No.

Where'd that come from?

I heard years ago that the coach
was hooking up with a reporter.

He probably was
hooking up with a reporter,

but I wasn't a reporter.

I've never had an affair
with a basketball coach.

I've never even met him. Okay.

Don't believe everything
you see on Reddit.

I mean,
Rich is barely my type.

You think I'm gonna date like
an old man basketball coach?

Give me a break.

Oh. "Are you a swinger?"

I hear this question often.

I am not a swinger.
Gary and I are not swingers.

A few of my friends
are swingers.

Rhode Island's a big
swinging community.

- Huge.
- To each their own.

I don't give a sh--
what they do.

I wish Gary would let me
and him swing.

We had a threesome once.

My mom's gonna hear this.

- Next.
- "Are you dating?"

Everybody wants to know
about your love life.

Yeah, you know it is
a hot topic of conversation.

I am not in
a polygamist relationship.

Have never been in
a polygamist relationship.

Hey, I didn't--
I was just asking.

And obviously,
I want to have kids.

I want to be married.

The person that I've been
with for 10 years,

will not give me that.

So I am dating somebody else.

Now you're saying that you do
have two boyfriends.

Like, what?!

I'm cool. I'm happy.
I'm content.

I'm living life.
- Yes! Amen, sister.

I did ask ChatGPT about this.

So polygamy
is if you're married.

Polyamorous is when you're not.

She has two boyfriends
at one time.

If this isn't polyamory,
I don't know what is.

The two people in my life
are the most wonderful people.

Whether I end up with
either/or I would be very happy.

As long as you're happy
you're a baby.

That's what I'm----ing doing.

I know that you guys
have had questions.

Rosie, Alicia, but anyone
who has questions better ask.

But why did you bring it up
in the first place?

I didn't bring up Kelsey
in the first place.

- Yeah, you did.
- At the picnic.

Did I say anything about
her relationship?

How is Kelsey?

You know,
she's going through a lot.

What is she going through?

You know, she's kinda like
in between like

what she wants to do
for the future.

We ask follow-up questions
and you were like,

whoa, we can't talk about it,
we can't talk--

you'll have to ask her.

You didn't say anything
negative,

but you did bring it up.
You did open the door.

I don't feel that I did that.

I look at Kelsey as like
a little sister.

So if I did,
this is to Kelsey,

I will a gajillion percent
say I'm sorry.

All she said
would've been like,

I was with Kelsey a lot
this week 'cause she's like

not feeling great.
- I thank you Ashley

for saying that because
I did not say something

to get a conversation going.

When the conversation got going,
I stopped it.

And that's how I feel.

Well, that's why
we're here today.

I think Jo-Ellen apologizing
to me was like everything

that I needed to hear.

And I feel like what she's
saying is genuine.

So I hope that this is just
kind of like a one and done

and that's it.

- Next!
- "I know it not true love you,

but the news is H true?"
- I was nervous writing that.

I can't.

Cece, could I ask
you to like translate?

I love you,
but is the news true?

No, but like I mean,
what's the news?

That you're like having
an affair or something.

Is the news true?

No, but like I mean,
what's the news?

That you're like having
an affair or something.

Wow. These women talk
about affairs,

they talk about
cheating scandals.

This is definitely supposed
to be a salacious game.

Like you're supposed to
air out dirty laundry.

This is like
the weirdest thing.

Is that true?

No.

I have heard rumors of
like a former romance

with Liz's best friend.

Like they were calling
each other like

400 times a month
or something like that.

But, like,
Liz is 56 years old.

Like, she's not really texting
that much, I don't think.

I'm asking for everybody else.
I know it's not true.

But we can pretend it is
because it makes a great story.

But no.

My husband and I have
a very close friend, Dino.

He's my little brother.

I love this person.

We also had an unconventional
friendship that people

didn't understand.

Was it completely right? No.

Did we have
this torrid affair? No.

Did I ever sleep with
this human? No!

But he means a lot to me.

I'm actually shocked that you
of all people asked that.

Well...

You grew up with us.
You know.

Sorry.

Years ago, my husband
took up sport fishing.

Gerry was gone three weeks
out of four.

So when Gerry wasn't here,
I'm always with Dino.

I know people say,
"They have this affair."

Alicia should know
it's all bullsh--.

She knows.

Um, other people don't know
my story.

They want to,
but time will tell.

Listen, I'm happy
we all came.

I'm happy everyone
can dish it

and understand and listen.

I think this
has been successful.

- Yeah.
- I do, too.

You know, it's a scary day
when people can take rumors

and ruin lives over it.

With Alicia, saying that rumor,
she was co-signing onto

a narrative that
she knew was false.

Look, they look at me
like I'm scary,

but a couple of these girls
at the table...

...they're capable of much more
scary things than I am.

Next time on "The Real
Housewives of Rhode Island"...

- Hi, baby.
- Bill's the other man

that all these girls
love to talk about.

Welcome to Studio 54.

Oh, yeah?

If he's having an affair,
that's not my problem.

- He's not having an affair.
- He is.

Listen, listen!

Ongoing rumors. Bye.

off, Kelsey.

- You're fake as [bleep].
- me?

So what? You got more to hide
than I do.

What am I hiding?
