- The first five ladies check into to the Gran Melia Roma resort hotel in Rome. Lisa stresses over confronting Denise about Brandi's revelations of Denise's trash talk. Denise and Garcelle are finally on a plane to Rome but they have one last conversation with Sutton, who's apparently flying separately from them. The five girls arrive at a fancy restaurant adjacent to the Colliseum but do not impress with their domestic drink orders, with Kyle's margherita and Teddi's pina colada - well, she's pregnant. Denise and Garcelle call the girls noting they've arrived and will likely go to the hotel and meet up tomorrow, but they surprise them all by arriving at the restaurant, and having a fun time, no confrontations yet. Sutton finally makes it to Rome, telling us that she was able to get her passport expedited which permitted her to fly commercial otherwise flying private would've cost "a dress or two". She meets up with the full housewives contingent at the Spanish Steps as they descend to the Piazza di Spagna (Spanish plaza/square) to shop the designer boutiques. First stop, Fendi where Erika buys a patent hologram bomber jacket ($3,950), Sutton got a blingy handbag/clutch ($3,275), Lisa spent $3,200, and Kyle spent $8,750. They visited the Trevi Fountain where they tossed coins and posed for pictures, with Kyle teasing Dorit that her chic outfit was throwing motorcycle cop vibes. Earlier she had told us that Dorit's Chanel-emblazoned outfit made her look like Chanel-branded mall cop. Later, the whole set of ladies dine at Ossimoro (in the hotel) where Garcelle tells us that Dorit - in Versace-emblazoned wear - and Erika are dressed for a fashion show. Dorit tries to go authentic ordering in Italian though as Kyle tells us the waiter is speaking English and the menu is written in English. As Erika snobs that it's so nice to have genuine Italian food instead of that #$@! they give us at home, Sutton has a bad reaction to the white wine, it tastes awful, and when Garcelle comments on that, the drama begins. Sutton tells her she was put off by her asking where her money comes from, but Garcelle owns the awkward and apologizes. Then Teddi addresses the elephant in the room, confronting Denise with Brandi's revelations that she thinks Teddi is pathetic and desperate to fit in since living in her father's shadow (John "Cougar" Mellencamp) her entire life. Denise vehemently denies saying such things and that she hardly talks to Brandi at all. After a short attempt to avoid saying so, Teddi blurts out to Denise that "she said you two had sex." Denise laughs off the allegation, but as the girls push her on it, she cries out "Bravo Bravo Bravo" which apparently is a directive the wives can use to have the producers excise a scene from airing. Lisa and Teddi both tell us that Denise is more concerned about her image than anything on the show. Denise teases that she has so much more drama going on in her life - apparently off camera - that this stuff about Brandi doesn't even register. Then things spin further out of control when Sutton goes after Teddi for the unnecessary sex revelation and Dorit tries to shield Teddi and come to Denise's aid but is interrupted by Kyle and as Dorit rises to exit, so does everyone else. And once again, as she's leaving with the others, Dorit tells Denise "they're never going to cut it [the scene]", and Denise replies, "No. If they ever want me to be on this show, they need to cut that." Spoiler: the scene wasn't cut.
