The Lovin', The Witch & The Wardrobes: A Real Housewives Of Miami Recap
AND SO SEASON ONE OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MIAMI ends with a lap-dance, floppy hats, a shirtless underage boy, and a self-proclaimed witch stirring up trouble in her cauldron of vibes.
Marysol shows her mother, Elsa, the pictures from her wedding. In a beautifully tender moment between the surgically-altered mother-daughter duo, Elsa tells Marysol that she loves Philippe, and thinks he's a wonderful person.
Alexia and her son, Peter, go through Peter's latest modeling photos. She feels that Peter needs to believe in himself more. She later takes him to a meeting with Next Modeling Agency, where he takes some headshots and feels uncomfortable with having to take his shirt off. He ultimately signs a contract with the agency, but not without the company expressing their need to see more of his personality.
Larsa has a shopping party for charity, and Lea and Cristy remain civil with each other. Larsa and Adriana? Not so much. Larsa flat-out tells Adriana that she ruined her lunch, but at least she says it with a smile. Because the party involves fashion, Adriana throws on a bikini and struts her stuff, giving Larsa and Cristy more to roll their eyes at.
Adriana and Fredrick have a weekend getaway where the two slather mud all over each other and look to their future as a couple. Fredrick tells Adriana that he would adopt her son, Alex, as a sign that the two are destined for marriage. Then she performs a striptease for Fredrick and he cameras. Later, she lets Fredrick take some sexy pictures of her when he goes boating.
It's Marysol's turn for the weekly cooking party, and she thankfully invites her mother. Larsa asks Elsa to read her "vibes" and Elsa feels Larsa is worried about a man. Philippe is this week's chef, and he has the nerve to use *gasp* frozen salmon in the recipe! Some of the ladies are thrown off by this, but Lea counters their reactions perfectly: something about how the recipes are perfect for the working woman, and that the housewives can suck it. Well said.
The self-proclaimed “witch” “reads” all the ladies at the table, and when she tells Larsa that she is emotionally immature, Mrs. Pippen freaks out. Elsa and Cristy have a side conversation, all in Spanish, about the question of Cristy's infidelity in her past relationship.
Larsa is still not over the whole Elsa "vibe" thing, and she and Cristy continue to talk about it poolside. If Larsa was really as stable as she claims to be, anything coming out of a face like Marysol's shouldn’t be bothering her this much. Just sayin'.
Marysol receives a luncheon invitation from Lea that includes a pair of white gloves. She informs Philippe that she will be needing a new hat for the occasion, because people have already seen her in her other hats. She is also puzzled about the location of said luncheon, because all it says is that the ladies will be going somewhere "exotic."
On the limo ride to the exotic locale, Larsa confronts Marysol about what Elsa said about her. She tells Marysol that Elsa should be more focused on her daughter, not the other housewives. Marysol says Larsa shouldn’t attack an older woman like that.
The rest of the ladies joined Marysol in wearing their most ridiculous hats to the luncheon, although Marysol seems to be wearing a swarm of black feathers instead of a hat. When they arrive at Paradise Farms two hours later, everyone but Lea and Cristy hate everything and complain the entire time as they prepared organic salads. Poor Cristy could really go for a cheeseburger. Worst thing is, the hats probably don’t help to keep all the bugs from orbiting them.
While the ladies are all eating, Lea makes a snide comment about Elsa being a bitch, and for the first time in her life, Cristy does not agree with her. Sadly, there was no huge fight between Larsa and Marysol to end the season on a high note. The ladies then make a toast, and look forward to maybe never having to see each other again.
