The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Season 5

After a sudden and secret departure from Puerto Rico at the end of last season, Lisa Vanderpump is still wary of her formerly close friends, but is beginning to reconnect with Yolanda and Kyle. She has no interest in making amends with Brandi, who is also struggling to move past her own hurt. The ladies all come face-to-face at Kyle's annual White Party and the over-the-top event is bigger and better than ever now that Mauricio's real estate agency is selling houses upwards of $50 million. The social event of the season brings original Beverly Hills housewives Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammer, and Taylor Armstrong back together. As unresolved issues come to the surface, Brandi is faced with making amends with both Lisa and Adrienne at the same event. 

Kim and some hunky movers help Brandi move into her new house, but Brandi is more interested in the guys' abs than unpacking boxes.  Kyle and her family jet to Lake Tahoe in a private plane while Yolanda surprises David with a very special, and very revealing, dinner. Kim and Brandi celebrate being BFFs by dressing up in disguise to spy on Brandi's ex-boyfriend, J.R.

Lisa Vanderpump throws Lisa Rinna a private birthday dinner at PUMP, and Lisa Rinna's husband shows up just in time with just the right gift. Brandi is settling into her new home, but is still dealing with old drama from her ex- husband. Kim is looking nowhere but forward as she and her daughter, Brooke, go dress shopping for a very special occasion. Lisa Rinna meets up with a friend from way back, Emmy-winning soap actress Eileen Davidson.

The two Lisas bond as Vanderpump invites Rinna to watch her receive a plaque on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. Before jetting off for a family trip to Spain, Kyle fears that her coughing sister Kim will make her ill.  But all is heavenly when Kyle arrives in Mallorca and settles into her 100-foot-long private yacht. Yolanda joins Kyle for fun in the water and sightseeing in the gorgeous town. But the perfect vacation is ruined when Yolanda gets a phone call with horrible news about her daughter Bella.

Kyle returns home early from Spain to attend Kim's daughter's wedding, and Eileen returns to work after a long break to reprise her role of Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless. Meanwhile, Lisa Vanderpump, with pal Lisa Rinna in tow, receives a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. Back at home, Yolanda deals with the fallout from her daughter's DUI.

Yolanda and Eileen meet for lunch and bond over their love of family, discovering a surprising connection between their children. Lisa Vanderpump returns from Palm Springs to engage in some hanky panky with her pet swans. Lisa Rinna travels to her hometown of Medford, Oregon to visit her ailing parents and goes through her childhood home for the last time. Kyle hosts a casual BBQ, complete with private chef, where Eileen gets a chance to meet all the ladies. Brandi tries to get an answer from Lisa Vanderpump about her housewarming party, but quickly learns that Lisa will not be pushed around.

The time has come for Brandi's housewarming party, and everyone is shocked when an unexpected party guest shows up. Lisa Rinna guest-hosts Access Hollywood Live, while fellow actress Eileen tries out a new form of exercising. Elsewhere, Kyle learns that her daughter still has a lot to learn before she leaves for college. Lisa Vanderpump hosts a charity event at PUMP, where Brandi makes her an unusual offer.

Brandi and Lisa Vanderpump finally meet for lunch to talk about the status of their tenuous relationship. Yolanda struggles with trusting Bella after her recent DUI charge. Eileen and Brandi share marriage stories over dinner, but the evening quickly turns sour when Brandi hears Eileen was married to somebody else when she met Vince. The ladies attend a dinner party at Yolanda's home in Malibu where tensions are high between Eileen and Brandi.

Yolanda and Kyle are apprehensive about leaving their daughters at college, but in very different ways, while Lisa Vanderpump learns that her son Max wants to move up in the world. Lisa Rinna films a movie with her husband Harry Hamlin and magician Penn Jillette, while Brandi checks out her ex-husband's new reality show.

The ladies travel up the coast to Santa Barbara to enjoy a day at the spa, but what should be a relaxing afternoon turns tense as Kim is put in a position that could challenge her sobriety. Meanwhile, Yolanda spends one last night with her daughters in NYC. Eileen opens her house to her new friends, inviting Kim, Kyle, Lisa Rinna, and Brandi to her Malibu home for a night of poker. Kim's erratic behavior puts everyone on edge, leading to an explosive confrontation between Brandi and Kyle.

The rumble at Eileen's poker party continues as Kyle and Brandi argue over Kim. Lisa Vanderpump returns from vacation and her dog Rumpy returns from puppy training camp. Lisa Rinna hosts a jewelry party, where several women call Brandi out for her recent behavior. Kyle receives shocking news about Kim.

Lisa Vanderpump is surprised when adopted son Max decides he wants to take a DNA test to discover his heritage. Brandi and Kyle both visit Kim, who has just been released from the hospital, and a session of she-said-she-said ensues. Later, Brandi shows up uninvited to Kyle's gay mixer where insults are hurled and things get ugly.

After the blow up at Kyle's gay mixer, the other women speculate about Brandi's influence over Kim. The ladies attend Eileen's movie premiere at a shopping center in the suburbs.

As Eileen brings the Richards sisters together to discuss their problems, Lisa Rinna questions Brandi about Kim's recent behavior.

Kim and Kyle act like everything is okay between them, but after the read, emotions run high, leaving everyone wondering what lies ahead for Kim. Brandi agrees to a 21 day cleanse of no alcohol, but attending Lisa Vanderpump's surprise birthday party may have her second guessing her decision to stay sober.

The ladies come together for Yolanda's scavenger hunt around Beverly Hills and are forced to put aside their differences and work together as teams. Embarking on a group trip to Amsterdam, several of the ladies attend David Foster's annual charity gala in Canada where Kim confronts Lisa Rinna over talking behind her back. When the women arrive in Amsterdam, more anger flares between the Richards sisters.

In Amsterdam, tensions continue to run high between Kim and Lisa Rinna, culminating in a shocking and explosive dinner that leaves Kyle fleeing the scene. Several of the ladies enjoy the local "space cakes," but the fun sours when Brandi unexpectedly explodes at Kyle.

With tensions still high, the ladies start day three in Amsterdam by splitting into two groups to explore the city. Eileen confronts Lisa Rinna about Lisa's failure to support her in front of Kim. Later, at dinner on a riverboat, all the unresolved issues come to a head. The night climaxes with Brandi playfully slapping Lisa, but for Ms. Vanderpump it's no game.

Lisa Vanderpump refuses to accept Brandi's apology for slapping her the night before. After a final dinner in Amsterdam, which Brandi skips for a date with a 24-year-old, the women return home. Brandi gets bad news about her father's health. Kyle is shocked when Lisa Rinna tells her that Brandi has talked about Kim needing an intervention.

The gripping three-part reunion begins with Yolanda revealing the difficulties she faces relapsing with Lyme disease. Although she does leave the couch early, Yolanda stays long enough to defend her daughter from Brandi's "alcoholic" comment and attempts to create some peace within the group. Kim declares she has more "pride" than Lisa Rinna in the roles she chooses and Brandi and Lisa Vanderpump getting into an argument that suggests little future for their onetime friendship.

The Beverly Hills Housewives continue reliving good times and airing their grievances. Eileen discusses how Brandi went from a high-school fan to a wine-tossing foe. Kim delves into her own issues with the soap stars and goes after Lisa Rinna as they debate the glass-breaking incident in Amsterdam and Kim's veiled threats to reveal something about Lisa's husband Harry.  Leading into a breakdown between sisters, Kim and Kyle vacillate between anger and tears.

The reunion concludes with plenty more drama and a little bit of humor. While the women can laugh about who has the dirtiest mouth, things turn sour when Kim reveals threatening texts Lisa Rinna sent her after Adrienne's party.
