The dust barely settled from the Oceanside escapade before another eruption rocks the manicured lawns of Beverly Hills. This time, the tremors originate not from a tequila-fueled misunderstanding, but from Sutton Stracke’s penchant for pointed commentary. In Tuesday’s episode, “High Horses and Low Blows,” the Housewives find that some wounds brought home fester faster than others.
Garcelle, basking in the glow of her completed beach house, offers a stark contrast to Erika, who continues her journey through the often-murky waters of therapy. While one celebrates a tangible victory, the other grapples with internal demons, a familiar dichotomy for this group where outward appearances rarely tell the whole story.
But the calm is deceptive. As is often the case, a casual gathering escalates into a full-blown confrontation, with Sutton’s remarks striking a particularly raw nerve. This time, however, it’s not one of the usual suspects who comes to blows. Dorit’s partner, Boz, steps into the fray, taking up arms (metaphorically, one hopes) against Sutton’s perceived attack.
Frankly, a Boz intervention is probably not high on anyone’s bingo card for this season. Is this an overprotective gesture? A strategic power move? A desperate attempt to restore order in a household that has seen more public breakdowns than some countries experience in a decade?
Tune in to Bravo on Tuesday, December 17 at 8 PM for an episode that will likely redraw the battle lines in Beverly Hills.
