Lets get to it!
Thats why there wasnt a recap last week.
Im not abandoning my duties.
I love this bullshit.)
The episode opens with the typical glimpses into the lives of the Housewives.
Karens opening image is her drinking Champagne alone in her mansion.
That becomes particularly poignant when the issue of Karens residency comes into question.
Every detail about Karens life, real or rumored, just makes her more fascinating.
I would watch a play of her life performed by Oprah or Phylicia Rashad.
Gizelle heads to lunch with her mom and her daughters.
How long have they been broken up?
It feels like weve been talking about this breakup all season.
How long has Gizelle been hiding the breakup?
Her mother tells her if you dont mesh, you just dont mesh.
That sounds like typical mom non-advice.
Her daughter asks Oh, so you broke up?
From the mouths of babes, yall.
Monique anoints her children with no less than three types of oils multiple times a day.
She is covering a 2-year-olds head with geranium oil and a mental-clarity blend.
Then she tells a story where she claims to have cured her sons sinus infection with essential oils.
Michael was frozen in terror.
The pictures from that night capture a panic-stricken expression.
I guess Michael just got in their car and drove them home in silence.
The ladies all arrive at the airport and Robyn is the last to arrive.
Everything about Robyns timing is suspicious.
Shes late to the airport, shes like an hour late to the trip after they arrive.
Does time and space operate differently around Robyn?
Besides Robyns late arrival, every relationship is about to be tested on this trip.
Karen doesnt trust Gizelle or the French language.
Monique and Charisse decide to upgrade themselves and that causes Gizelle to get upset.
While in first class, Monique and Charisse talk about the challenges of being a coachs wife.
Its such a specific category that Im glad they have each other.
Im also not sure theres a set of stereotypes and external expectations on Coachs Wives.
Hes upset for the same reasons Drake is in Hotline Bling.
Thats not a good sign.
Thats like the reddest of flags.
Monique decides to upgrade either Robyn or Gizelle into a suite as a peace offering.
She breaks a pool cue in half and tosses it between them.
Gizelle comes out with blood on her hands and the suite.
They all head to their rooms to FaceTime their spouses and primp for their room-service dinner in Moniques room.
Everyone arrives in their finest outfits and Charisse is wearing a bathrobe over her clothes.
They take some boomerangs on the balcony and teach Karen to twerk.
Monique tells them that theyre going to an essential oils distillery and a perfumerie in Grasse.
The essential oils trip sounds like nonsense but a perfumerie in Grasse does sound like some luxurious fun.
Gizelle asks Karen if shes excited because shes got a fragrance on the way.
Karen tries to deflect by asking about Every Hue Beauty.
Every Hue Beauty is a real business where Karens fragrance is a fiction with top notes of delusion.
Charisse keeps whispering that Karen has a townhouse.
Karen says in her interview I know where I live.
Keep hypothesizing, wench.
He called her a princess and thats SIMPLY NOT TRUE!
Especially if part of the story is reminding everyone of your influence and the titles you hold.
The next day, its time for the trip to the distillery and Grasse when Robyn is late again.
Does Robyn think she holds the Time-Turner and can take as much time as she needs?
Everyone is wearing stripes or gingham to be more French!
Karen is wearing some mall-walker sneakers.
Gizelle says shes going to wait for Robyn to come down and meet them in Grasse.
Everyone else is offended at the thought.
Everyone thinks she doesnt want to go on the trip but she just wants to wait for Robyn.
She also wants to insinuate that Karen is trying to avoid going on the trip.
Gizelle also drops the bomb that Ray wants to fuck her business partner at Every Hue Beauty.
La suite au prochain episode, mes amis!
