The unwritten rule of any Real Housewives season is that an overseas trip will inevitably produce more friction than fun, and this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Miami appears to uphold that tradition. The cast decamps to Italy for “Miami Takes Milan,” an hour that places the group’s simmering tensions against the backdrop of one of the world’s biggest fashion events. The change in scenery does little to change the subject.
Airing Wednesday on Bravo, the episode finds Lisa walking in Milan Fashion Week, a professional high point immediately complicated by her forced proximity to Larsa. The awkwardness is palpable, demonstrating once again that even a high-stakes runway can become just another stage for personal disagreements. The glamour of Milan serves mostly as wallpaper for the group’s familiar squabbles and shifting allegiances.
However, the episode is not entirely focused on superficial spats. A more grounded storyline centers on Guerdy, who is contemplating reconstructive surgery following her battle with cancer. Her considerations about her body and her health provide a sober counterpoint to the surrounding drama, a moment of genuine vulnerability amid the manufactured theatrics. It’s a familiar blend for the franchise: part spectacle, part personal story, all transported to a new, photogenic location.
The Real Housewives of Miami airs Wednesday, June 18 at 9:00 PM ET on Bravo.
