Previously on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills a new housewife, Dorit, joined the cast, the ladies attended Erika’s 45^th birthday party, and Eileen, Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump were forced to interact for the first time since the tumultuous season six reunion. On tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills the dynamic between Vanderpump, Rinna, and Eileen is discussed and the ladies attend Dorit’s 40^th birthday bash.

RHOBH S7E2 Recap: “The Buddha Bentley Birthday”

This week’s episode opens with Kyle and Lisa Rinna taking a spin in Mauricio’s Lamborghini and discussing Rinna and Vanderpump’s relationship (again). Rinna tells Kyle that before Erika’s party she hasn’t interacted with Vanderpump since the reunion, despite the two living within a three mile radius of one another. After the passing of her father, Rinna realized that the drama between her and LVP is trivial and is ready to move forward.

It’s Dorit’s 40^th birthday and her husband PK is planning her party. Dorit is used to being the party planner in her relationship but is relinquishing control to her husband this one time. Before her party, PK surprises Dorit with a quarter million dollar rose gold Bentley for her birthday (PK where’s mine??).

Dorit’s 40^th birthday party is here and the vibe is very laidback with the guests having drinks in the living room. Dorit is a disappointed with the chilled atmosphere, but LVP believes PK has a surprise waiting for her. Lisa Rinna arrives and endures a few verbal jabs from Vanderpump, but remains positive. She believes that she and LVP are making progress because they are communicating even if it is only through snide remarks.

PK reveals another surprise for Dorit, a Buddha Lounge, consisting of a sushi bar, light-up dance floor, smoke machines and ice sculptures in their backyard. With the reveal of the Buddha Lounge the party atmosphere changes and the ladies head to the dance floor. While dancing, Rinna apologizes to LVP for being hard on her last season. Vanderpump accepts Rinna’s apology and the two agree to move forward and start anew (yas love the Lisas’ friendship). LVP is not as willing to move forward with Eileen and makes several spiteful comments towards her throughout the night. The party ends on a touching note though, as PK gives a speech to Dorit professing his love for her.

The preview for next week’s episode shows Eileen saying goodbye to her mother’s house and ultimately her mother, as well as Erika and Dorit butting heads (drag her, Erika). Tune in next Tuesday at 9pm EST for an all-new episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
