RHOBH S7E4 Recap: “Pantygate”

The episode opens with the Rinna arriving in Westchester, PA for her QVC special. After Lysol-ing everything in her hotel room, Rinna heads to the QVC headquarters to sell her clothing line.

After a taxing day at QVC, Rinna meets up for drinks with Dorit and Eileen. Dorit brings up “Pantygate” to Eileen and Rinna, expressing her distaste with Erika’s decision to not wear underwear at the White Party. Dorit questions Erika’s motives for her decision and insinuates that she was intentionally trying to seduce her husband. Rinna thinks that because Erika is very open and free that she is instantly judged by other woman as being promiscuous. Dorit then suggest to the ladies that she wants to be cheeky and buy Erika a pair of underwear to give her at Escape the Room. Rinna and Eileen encourage her, saying that they want to be present for the conversation and gift exchange.

In the following scene Kyle and Dorit go shopping. Dorit brings up “Pantygate” (AGAIN), picks out a pair of underwear for Erika, and tells Kyle her plan. Kyle wants to witness this interaction but thinks that Dorit’s attempt to be cheeky will backfire (I hope it does).

The ladies arrive at Escape the Room and Dorit gives Erika her gift, revealing that PK saw her “pretty little puss”.  Erika is perturbed that PK would look up her skirt and not tell her that she was revealing herself. Dorit claims that the situation took on a life of its own (um no you gave it life by continuously talking about it) and insists that it isn’t a big deal. Erika warns Dorit to be careful, because the more you talk about something the worse it gets.

At Escape the Room the ladies put aside their differences and solve the series of puzzles to escape before the timer is out. At dinner LVP asks Erika about “Pantygate” as she missed the gift exchange between her and Dorit. With tensions sparked again, Erika states that PK should’ve let her know that her kitty was showing instead of “staring at it a bit too long” (YAS call that creep out). Dorit wants to have a private conversation with Erika about “Pantygate” at a later date, but Erika believes there is nothing more to discuss. Dorit made “Pantygate” into a bigger deal than it really was simply because she couldn’t fight the urge to gossip. The episode ends on a positive note when LVP asks the ladies if “Pantygate” is finally over and the two women simultaneously say “it is for me” and high five.

The preview for next week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills shows Dorit being abrasive towards Eileen and the relationship between Dorit and Erika deteriorating further. Tune in next Tuesday at 9pm EST for an all-new episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
