Things are still unsettled within the group after Brynn‘s party. On this episode of The Real Housewives of New York City, Erin tries to settle issues with Brynn, but Sai hasn’t been given the opportunity to clear the air with Brynn yet. On top of petty fights, Erin’s trying to navigate her mother’s cancer diagnosis and some marital issues with Abe. Hopefully a trip out east will bring this group back together, whether they get there by Bentley or helicopter!
Erin’s mother has been diagnosed with cancer, and so, in a sign of solidarity, Erin has decided to chop her hair to the same length as her mom’s to be in the fight with her. Ubah joins the mother-daughter-duo at a wig shop, showing that Ubah is always there for Erin during her tough times.
While Erin’s mom tries on some wigs, Erin talks about how much Brynn is damaging friendships. It is like she doesn’t even realize Erin’s mother is sick since she continues to push Erin. Erin can be slightly relieved, though, since Jenna promises that Brynn’s actions have not damaged their friendship. After all, last year in Anguilla, Jenna opened up to everyone about money being dry at times. Erin swears that stuck in the back of Brynn’s mind and that is why she told Jenna the Uber comment that Erin made. Maybe it’s just time the ladies simply accept that Brynn continuously changes stories…
When Ubah asks about Abe, Erin becomes emotional since there were some decisions that Abe didn’t run past Erin first. Erin feels betrayed by Abe, especially since she really needed him as she navigated her mother’s illness, but the details of it all are still a bit murky.
Sai shakes Jenna down for tricks and trades about the high schools in New York. Sai feels like Jenna has great advice and does not want to go back to her angry ways, which came out the other day at Brynn’s party. Sai flipped when Jenna told her that Brynn said Sai hated Jenna. Jenna points out it wasn’t just what Brynn said since she has heard those rumors from others as well. Sai felt hurt by Brynn, especially since she has been there for her, but she does say, “Even if I did say that, that’s f*cked up” of Brynn to spill the beans, considering the friend Sai has been to her.
The problem is that Brynn won’t meet with Sai to clear the air. Sai explains that she texted Brynn and told her that her feelings were hurt, but Brynn simply left Sai on read, a huge FU. Sai points out that everyone has seen Brynn do mean things, but when Sai pops off, it’s a big issue. Sai states that when Brynn is upset, she threatens people and freaks out. She even refers back to a text where Brynn refers to herself as “carbon monoxide,” the silent killer.

We get a glimpse inside of Racquel‘s home life. Her fiancée, Mel, is a forensic neuropsychologist who tends to cater to the dogs. We also learn that Racquel’s cooking abilities are not great based on the reviews from her children. At least the dogs eat well!
In a power move like no other, Brynn preps a glass of tap water for Erin, which is the equivalent of sticking someone’s toothbrush in the toilet bowl. When Erin enters Brynn’s apartment, Brynn greets her cooly, and after seeing Erin’s new hairdo, she quips, “Going through sh*t so you hadda cut your hair.” If Brynn had stopped to ask instead of starting trouble all the time, maybe she would have known that Erin cut her hair in support of her mother who has cancer.
Erin starts by saying, “I’m apologizing,” but a condescending Brynn fights back. Brynn wonders why Sai jumped in during their fight and points out that she has never screamed at a friend in public. Erin reminds Brynn that she will just behave like carbon monoxide, a nod to an earlier text Brynn sent explaining her tactics. Erin tries to win Brynn over by stating that she is an authentic person — something that an authentic person should not have to say.
Erin goes on to admit that she should have stopped Jeff Lewis sooner during the podcast, and Brynn throws a dig at Erin, reminding her that “this isn’t like Staten Island,” which deeply offends Erin the pure-bred New Yorker. Erin does not like seeing Brynn hurt and makes an emotional apology. Brynn then apologizes for making it awkward with Jenna. We learn that Brynn was embarrassed when Jenna pointed out that Brynn forgave Erin too quickly, and so Brynn threw Erin under the bus as a quick rebuttal.
