Private flights, a trip to Kemo Sabe, and a Mauricio Umansky sighting in Aspen sounds like the plot of a boring old episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but somehow, that all went down in The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 Episode 15, “The Rocky Road to Sisterhood.” Trust, it was far from boring.
Although the RHOP ladies were giving Beverly Hills energy this week, they were giving nothing but Beverly Hillbilly energy when we last checked in. Last week, most of the cast were stuck in a barely habitable Airbnb without running water, while Keiarna and Tia luxuriated in Angel’s sprawling, award-winning home. Things finally reached a boiling point, and now, Gizelle has fully hijacked the trip.
What happened on The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 Episode 15?
Believe it or not, this is only Day 2 of the hellish Colorado trip, but Angel planned to step things up with a day trip to Aspen. They spent the day doing caviar bumps and soaking in all of the Western vibes at Kemo Sabe, but first, Gizelle had to hold Angel’s feet to the fire over this poorly planned trip. If you thought Angel had a rough season, you haven’t seen anything yet. They might have finally broken her in Episode 15.
It’s too late to apologize
When Angel realized that the Airbnb she booked for the group was falling apart without any running water, she started panicking because she knew it would be used against her. Those nightmares became a reality within two milliseconds of her arrival at the airport.
Obviously, she can’t control what happens in an Airbnb an hour away from her house, but when she tried to apologize to the group for how things unfolded. It was too late. Gizelle was pissed and proceeded to rip Angel a new one in the middle of their private jet.
“Even if there was no water issues, you haven’t checked on any of us, and our asses are here because of you,” Gizelle said. “And you are a horrible host!”
As Angel stood at the front of the plane looking like a sad flight attendant, she told the ladies that she had managed to find them alternate accommodations. Still, it was too late. Gizelle announced that she had secured them an executive suite at the nearest Four Seasons. Angel might as well delete that Airbnb app from her phone.
Angel is not a depleted woman
After that rocky plane ride, Angel landed in Aspen with her tail already between her legs. Her day got even worse when they sat down for lunch, and Monique brought up the troubling behaviors she observed in Angel’s marriage. This woman cannot catch a break.
As a reminder, Monique felt like Angel and Bobby’s marriage had parallels to her doomed relationship with Chris. Is it projection? Probably. But Monique really needed to get it off her chest.
Monique hoped to do it privately, but Jassi went to Angel and told her what Monique had been saying. Thus, it became a group conversation.
When confronted with the “concerning” parts of her marriage, Angel quickly shut the ladies down. She said that Monique’s theories didn’t reflect her “lived experience.” In Angel’s mind, she’s living the perfect life of a WAG, and there’s nothing anyone can take away from that. If she can’t film with the ladies because she doesn’t want her husband to have to “watch” their kids by himself, then so be it.
“My husband pampers me to the nth degree,” Angel claimed in her confessional.
“This is not a depleted woman that you see here,” she continued. “This is a fulfilled woman full of abundance and happiness.”
Potomac WAGs stick together
As Angel defended her marriage, Wendy couldn’t let go of Jassi’s contribution to the mess. She went behind Monique’s back to tell Angel all of this information. Since when did they become such besties?
Come to find out, Jassi and Angel have been establishing their own little friendship off-camera. They certainly don’t act like friends on camera, but with this new information in mind, Jassi said that Monique’s theories about Angel felt “concerning” to her. She wanted to tell Angel about it from one WAG to another.
Jassi’s concerns are fair, but what wasn’t fair was how she used this brief moment in the spotlight to take a random swipe at Tia. In the process, she wound up throwing Angel back under the bus. She was barely recovered from her last time getting run over.
“Angel wanted me at her house,” Jassi blurted out. “She just got Tia by default.”
That reveal opened up a whole new can of worms. The ladies looked at Angel for confirmation on whether Jassi was meant to stay at Wanderland. So much for the WAG sisterhood.
It turns out that Jassi was originally on the shortlist for a stay at Wanderland. However, Angel struggled to give a clear answer on why it suddenly changed. Wendy felt exhausted by the word salad.
“I just want you to stand on business and stop running,” Wendy told her.
Angel finally hit a wall
Once the group finished skewering Angel, they all got up to walk to Kemo Sabe. Angel sat at the table, looking completely defeated. From the conversations about Bobby to the botched Airbnbs, this woman had enough. She might not feel depleted from her marriage, but she’s clearly feeling depleted from dealing with these women.
Like a sad little cowgirl, Angel broke down in tears. The only two women to comfort her were Ashley and Monique. Meanwhile, Gizelle was lurking in the shadows, trying to figure out how to make this woman’s day even worse.
“What I’m telling you guys is my truth,” Angel told the ladies through tears.
According to Angel, she’s an “empath,’ so it’s especially hard for her to constantly get called out and accused of being a liar. All of a sudden, it’s easy to feel bad for this woman who has been fighting for her life for 15 episodes straight.
“It’s a lot of pressure, but you’ve got to turn that pressure into entertainment,” Monique told her.
Potomac meets Beverly Hills
Everything about this episode felt like it was pulled right out of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Those feelings really came to life when Mauricio, the estranged husband of Kyle Richards, popped up out of nowhere.
We’re not sure if it was the altitude or if Mau just walked in smelling like money, but some of the Potomac ladies were into him. Even Gizelle said she thought he was handsome, but she wanted to steer clear, hoping to not start any beef with the Beverly Hills cast.
Ashley didn’t really share those same concerns. Mauricio checked all of her boxes, and she and Stacey were ready to make it happen. Stacey immediately clocked in, ready to be the wingwoman that every girl deserves.
The former QVC host cornered Mauricio and started trying to figure out his Aspen itinerary. Ashley was right behind her, and you could see the gears turning in her head. She was fully ready to trade in her dusty old champagne flute for a shiny Beverly Hills diamond. Unfortunately, Gizelle refused to let that happen.
She came stomping over to Mauricio, Ashley, and Stacey and practically had to peel them apart from each other. According to Gizelle’s logic, Mauricio is off limits because of his failed marriage to another Housewife. Charrisse’s son, however? He’s totally fair game.
What’s next for the Colorado cast trip?
Mauricio went on his way, probably to go makeout with some twenty-something-year-old model in the middle of the street. Meanwhile, the RHOP cast were left with some big questions over the next phase of the trip. At this point, this whole thing is playing out like a choose-your-own-adventure book. They’ve got options!
Gizelle reminded the group that she booked them a suite at the Four Seasons. Unlike Wanderland, everyone was invited to stay and enjoy brunch the following day. From there, Gizelle said she wanted to end the trip and go home.
As Gizelle shared the new itinerary with the group, you could see the light, once again, leaving Angel’s eyes. She wasn’t ready to give up on this trip and wanted to take the ladies fly fishing for Day 3.
“We’re not doing that,” Angel interjected. “We have another activity tomorrow.”
Gizelle replied, “Well, it’s up to the ladies.”
The episode ended with Angel and Gizelle basically having a staring contest on the rooftop of Kemo Sabe. Can Angel regain control over her trip, or is Gizelle about to leave this lady behind in Colorado? We’ll find out next week.
The Real Housewives of Potomac continues on Bravo every Sunday at 8/7c. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
