The summer has been hectic for New York City housewives Bethenny and Luann. While Bethenny suffers and copes with the sudden passing of her boyfriend Dennis, Luann owns up to the fact she relapsed and had to be taken back to rehab and seeks a way to fix her life so her kids won't be ashamed of her. Meanwhile, at the Hamptons Ramona hires a good looking Russian swim coach to help her overcome her fear of water because she wants to finally learn how to swim so she can retire her pool nooddles. In the city Sonja is adjusting to her new apartment and finishing the decor. Dorinda has also hired a coach and has been running daily in an attempt to live a healthier lifestyle. She has yet to address the tension between her and Luann and fix the situation among them. They haven't been on friendly terms since the incident at Luann's cabaret five months before when she heckled the Cabaret star by shouting "Jovani" during the performance. Tinsley gets a car from Scott and enjoys the NY weather. | |||||

At a different dinner, Tinsley and Dorinda watch Ramona's laughable attempts to score with the local guys.

Still at Barbara's clambake, Ramona, who showed up uninvited, is confronted by Luann for spreading gossip. Luann and Bethenny jump in the pool still wearing clothes. Ramona tries to save face by leaving early but not before placing a lot of lobsters in a bag to bring back home. Her departure is even ruder than the way she acted towards the host - she didn't stay any longer than 20 minutes at the clambake. Back in the city, Dorinda and Barbara have a heart to heart because Barbara never invited her to the clambake because of the status of her relationship with Luann. Barbara explains that she is doing her best to protect and help Luann who is still in a delicate situation. Bethenny continues her relief work after Hurricane Florence flooding devastated South Carolina and flies to the location to help. Sonja throws a party to celebrate the release of her photo spread for Paper Magazine. At the party, Dorinda and Luann finally speak even though it's a quick exchange of words. | |||||

Bethenny speaks with a grief counselor about coping with Dennis' death. Days later Dorinda prepares her mansion at the Berksires - the Blue Stone Manor - to receive the ladies for their first Halloween there.
