Episodes
Welcome to the District
Welcome to D.C., the most powerful city in America, where it takes more than money to impress people – it's about political power. With the social season in full swing, Michaele's Polo event caters to those who want to be close to it all, with attendees including the Ambassador of India, Michelle Jones and Republican Lobbyist, Edwina Rogers. As old rivalries cause Lynda to snub Michaele's Polo event, Mary struggles with the guest list for her birthday party. And Cat, the brash Brit and new girl in town, gets a crash course in public relations at Stacie's dinner party prepared by a celebrity chef.

Lynda is pushed to her limit when a confrontation with Michaele breaks all the D.C. rules.
Foreign Relations
It's off to Paris! After a spontaneous decision by Michaele and Tareq to join Stacie and her husband in Europe, the couples start to bond. Meanwhile, controversy over D.C. etiquette has the housewives questioning Michaele's role as a host for high profile events. Cat is hard at work on her book and getting her cover ready, when disappointment strikes. The housewives gather at Mary's fashion dinner to welcome a celebrity hairstylist, but with previous drama still lingering, things don't go as planned.
The Grape Stomp of Wrath
Lynda deals with the stress of moving from her Georgetown condo to a sprawling suburban mansion to accommodate her grown children.

Perception Gap
After all her hard work, Cat finally finishes her book and raises more than a few eyebrows when she shares some juicy excerpts with the other Housewives. Jumping on the bandwagon, the Salahis work on a deal to write a book of their own, detailing their family turmoil. A confrontation during a fun night leaves Cat in tears.
Nation Building
Stacie hits another hurdle in her journey to find her birth father, but is able to connect with her roots through an unexpected link at the Nigerian Embassy. As Cat tries to steer clear of Erika, Lynda puts as much effort into preparing for her big fashion event as she does keeping certain people out of it!
