'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 5: Episode 7 'Breaking Branches' Recap
On last week's episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Brandi throws a housewarming party, and Lisa Vanderpump has a charity tea at PUMP to procure donated dresses for girls in foster care.
At Brandi's party, Lisa Vanderpump shows up unexpectedly, which makes Brandi very happy. "You love me," Brandi kept saying to Lisa, and she even told Leeza Gibbons, "She loves me," to which Lisa replied, "No she doesn't." This makes Brandi confused as to why Lisa came at all if she doesn't even like her. Later, Brandi introduces Lisa to her parents, and Brandi's mother explains that Brandi has a mean streak, to which Lisa jokingly replies that she blames the parents, and Brandi's mother looks crestfallen.
After the event, Lisa Rinna is seen doing the Ice Bucket Challenge on Access Hollywood and she explained why it was so important to stay young in Hollywood. Eileen Davidson said that she usually has to convince herself to workout when all she really wants is to eat a donut.
At Vanderpump's charity tea, Yolanda Foster is hurt that she wasn't invited to the event and reminds Vanderpump of this. The other ladies arrive, and it's their first time at PUMP, so they walk around and express their admiration for the venue. Brandi walks in, and she rips a twig from one of Vanderpump's imported 100-year old olive trees and extends it to her. Vanderpump rebuffs her, which makes Brandi snap a whole branch off a tree and wave it at her.
"Put it back," Lisa V. says, "Turn back time and take it all away. You, this, me, being forced to interact with you—this whole charade of friendship. Just stop it! I don't want it!"
Afterwards, the girls sit down and they discuss Lisa. Brandi tells Eileen and Lisa Rinna that they all love Lisa V., but they do have issues with her.
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
