On this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bozoma hosts a speed dating event to try and get the single ladies back in the game. When she pushes Kyle for relationship answers, Kyle talks about the importance of soul connections, not so much gender. Now that PK has stopped assisting financially, Dorit is left trying to figure out where the money is. With the help of Amanda, a financial empowerment teacher and coach, Dorit tries to learn life all over again.
Since most of the girls in this friend group are single, Boz has decided to host a speed dating event at her house. She went through her rolodex and found her most eligible bachelors in hopes of making a love connection. Boz just wants the ladies to flirt a bit, especially Kyle, since she can’t seem to figure out Kyle’s single state, not that it’s any of her business.
As the ladies trickle in, they realize they are all wearing black, as if they came from “some sort of witch convention.” They are all a bit tentative, but Dorit is the first one with courage, plowing right out the door to greet the bachelors. Erika is shockingly a bit awkward. Guess her stage persona does not translate to real life…
Boz has set up some timed stations in an effort for the women to chat with each of the men. She starts her clock and the dates begin. Rachel throws it back to her (much) earlier days when she won biggest flirt at 6 years old and Sutton seems fearless making small talk.
Rachel realizes that she is still attracted to the type of men she should not be with and Kyle feels haunted by Mauricio since she can’t seem to get away from real estate brokers. It turns out that all the guys like Dorit, giving her the boost of confidence she so badly needed since the divorce.
Erika admits that she has zero game; however, she is able to snag a card from the one guy Sutton showed interest in. Awkward. Sutton jokingly reminds Erika that her attorney husband did not work out so well and Erika hands the card over to Sutton so she can shoot her shot.
Kyle explains that she is not actively looking to meet someone, even after 3 years of a separation. Kyle says that she is looking for a “life partner” and wants to get married again.
Erika and Sutton take Dorit aside to see how things are going with the kids and the divorce. The children did wind up going to Florida with Dorit’s parents and now she has time to take care of her state of mind. Erika states that men get away with more than the women and Sutton reminds Dorit that as bad as it sucks, Dorit just has to get through it. Sutton totally sympathizes with Dorit and understands how hard divorce with children is.
Boz explains that she is trying hard to get to know Kyle. Kyle states that she has been in love three times and has found love since the separation. Now, Kyle is just on her own again and is annoyed by Boz playing dumb. It was not Kyle’s idea to be alone again, but she explains that things are complicated. Boz claims she wants to be there for Kyle, but is she just being nosey?
According to Boz, in order to be friends, Kyle has to share things. Kyle tells Boz to say what she really means and Kyle goes on to say, “I could go Brad, I could go Angelina.” Kyle states that she is half joking, but has learned a lot about herself. She talks about a soul connection and how gender does not matter to her. The fact that Kyle did meet someone gives her hope that love still exists.
Kyle always worries about the perception of her dating life and Rachel explains that it is ok for Kyle to freely be herself. Kyle is sad about the end of her marriage, but she is happy to get the chance to figure out who she is once again.
Later, we get a glimpse into Amanda’s home life. She came from humble beginnings in Oklahoma and is now living her dream. She met her fiancé in 2019 and decided she wanted babies more than a ring. And so, the couple had two children and now are planning their wedding. Amanda is a “financial empowerment teacher and coach” and she explains that she manifests all that she hopes for.
Rachel has known Sutton through mutual friends and so they sit down to chat about Boz’s speed dating. Rachel is too new out of her marriage to find a true connection and Sutton shares that her ex-husband asked for an annulment within the Catholic church. Sutton explains that the letter came to Sutton Stracke Brown and wonders if she should drop her married name. Rachel shares that she dropped her married name the minute she left Rodger. Sutton realizes that her ex is not taking her back and their marriage is over, over. Sutton Brown does have a nice ring to it…
Kyle and her daughter, Alexia, are shopping for wedding flowers. The thought of Alexia getting married chokes Kyle up because at one point, she was blissfully happy with Mauricio. A tearful Kyle hopes “neither one of them ever hurt each other and that Jake always looks at Alexia the way he does today.” Kyle worries for her daughter and wants nothing more than for them to have a successful marriage.
Boz explains that she met Amanda at Jennifer Tilly’s party and she is intrigued by her. Amanda and Boz talk business. Amanda has always been an entrepreneur who started as a therapist and life coach. She is not a financial planner, but likes to teach on money’s “psychological, emotional, and energy”…whatever that entails.
Dorit joins the ladies and Amanda shares her support for Dorit as she navigates this divorce. Dorit tells them that her “estranged husband” is an alpha businessman, but when they got married, they did not have a prenup. In fact, PK came into the marriage broke after the 2008 financial crisis.
After they got married, PK handled all of the finances, but now that they are divorcing, she is finding out that PK is just not paying certain things any more. According to Dorit, PK told her the finances would stay the same when they separated, but he apparently only agreed to that set-up for one month.
Amanda tries to talk business with Dorit. Dorit is in the dark with the finances and Boz knows that every woman should know where the money is.
Dorit refers to PK as complex and when he starts drinking, things get more complicated. To make matters worse, Dorit’s name is on everything. So if PK stops paying for something or stops making payments, it is Dorit who suffers. The unknowns are scary and Amanda wants Dorit to figure out who she wants to be no matter what PK does. Boz is not sure what kind of financial advice Amanda is giving Dorit, especially since things are bound to get very ugly between Dorit and PK…
