'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 5: Episode 17 Recap, Lisa Vanderpump Gets Slapped
Last week on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" the ladies go on a boat cruise in Amsterdam, and one of them gets slapped.
In Amsterdam, Yolanda Foster decides to stay in bed to take a day off from all the drama. Kyle Richards arrives and cries about Kim. Yolanda comforts her and says that they all have their own crosses to bear.
Meanwhile, Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump decide to spend the day together and go shopping. Eileen opts to go on a museum tour with Kyle.
At a coffee shop, Eileen talks about all the drama that went down so far, and Kyle says that it's better to ignore it and have some fun. Eileen says she's offended that Kim apologized to Lisa R., but hasn't said a word to her or Kyle. Kyle admits that she's hurt too, but when it comes to Kim, there's nothing much they can do.
Before dinner, Eileen has a glass of wine with Lisa R., and she says that she can't understand how Lisa can pretend that everything is fine. Lisa echoes what Kyle said—when it comes to Kim, it's best to pretend. Eileen gets it, but doesn't condone it.
The ladies have dinner at a yacht, and the tension and animosity is palpable among the ladies. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Brandi suggests that everybody should say something nice about the others.
Brandi's suggestion seems to work at first, as Kim and Kyle appear to be getting along. Brandi compliments everyone's appearance, but when it's her turn to receive compliments, Brandi hides in the bathroom and cries.
Kim manages to get Brandi to come out, and Lisa V. tells her that she should stop berating herself. This is when things take a bizarre turn as Brandi insists on reenacting an iconic scene from 'The Love Boat'.
Brandi tries to kiss Lisa V., who gently rebuffs her. Then, Brandi tells her that she's going to slap her—and she actually does.
Horrified, Lisa says, "No, that's wrong. Stop it right now."
"Do it to me," Brandi urges.
"I don't like that," says Lisa, saying that doing so would be doing what Brandi did to Eileen when she threw a glass of wine at her face.
"What do you think you're doing?" Lisa asks. "It just always goes too far."
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
