It's been one crazy summer for the New York City housewives! Bethenny struggles with the sudden passing of her boyfriend Dennis, while Luann is coming to terms with the fact that she relapsed and had to go back to rehab. Ramona is tackling her fear of the water by taking swim lessons, and Sonja is adjusting to her new apartment. Dorinda has made positive changes in her life, but she has yet to face the tension between her and Luann. They haven't spoken since the incident at Luann's cabaret five months ago.

Barbara's clambake continues as uninvited Ramona is confronted by Luann for spreading rumors, forcing her to leave with a doggie bag and without her pride. Back in the city, Dorinda and Barbara try to clear things up over lunch. Meanwhile, Bethenny heads to North Carolina for more relief work after the Hurricane Florence flooding. Sonja throws a party to celebrate a recent cover shoot for a fashion magazine where Dorinda and Luann finally come face to face.
