Lauren and Michele have once again scoured the internet to "make it nice" in a surprisingly emotional deep dive on Dorinda Medley from Real Housewives of New York (starting at 7:45)...

But first, they have to do a quick rant about Nazi billionaires and their weird ding-dongs.

Then it's back to the Bezerkshires to learn more about Dorinda's upbringing and answer all our questions about her once and for all:

• Is John Mahdessian a dry-cleaner or does he also deliver "snow" like Bethenny claims?
• What was Dorinda's mysterious late husband Richard like?
• Was that Sex and the City episode really based on her first marriage?
• And most importantly, is Dorinda ok?

All these answers. laughter, tears, amateur psychoanalysis, and more!

Lauren and Michele are back to close the door on this fabulous season of Salt Lake City- they make predictions, recap the reunion's biggest moments, and say a tearful farewell to the Flop Queen friend-of Brittani.

Then it's our recap of the premiere episode of Summer House! (Timestamp: 37:45)

Lauren points out all the ways the men are extra disgusting this year, and the Breakdowns Girls bow down to the Grand Dame diva Lindsay Hubbard's Insane Pregnancy Announcement Theatrical Spectacular (sponsored by ClearBlue)- and they screech with excitement that she is now creating chaos for two.

Lauren and Michele are back to deep dive on the Bravo comedienne and boozy vamp herself, Sonja Morgan!

We'll answer questions like, "Who were the most famous guys Sonja f***ed?" "Was Sonja an escort?" "Where did the money go?" "What sport did her ex-husband win the gold medal for in 1953?" and most importantly, "What happened with her freakin' toaster oven?"

Welcome to Lisa Barlow's Vida Tequila Puerto Vallarta experience from hell, our pick for best episode of the RHOSLC season so far! But first:

• Michele talks about the birthday cameo Lauren got her from a certain VPR Golden Boy; why celebrity houses always get passed around.

• 9:47, we discuss the trailer for Summer House Season 9 and make some early predictions (we think it will rip!)
• VPR cancellation speculation (was it because all the male cast members lives are falling apart?) and an impromptu "Love, Actually" rant.
• Then at 24:24, it's our Salt Lake City S5E13 recap-
• The heartbreaking yet so Housewives scene of Mary talking about her son's addiction while Angie's face remains perfectly still;
• Is Bronwyn having a nervous breakdown after Cujo got her?
• And Brittani gets dogwalked by everyone at the Vida dinner so badly that even the waiter seems like he's dunking on her obliviousness.
• Plus some light power ranking and S6 speculation based on reunion seating
• Then oral exams at 58:25! Warning: Survivor S47 Finale Speculation to those who are triggered by CBS like Michele!

It's time for Meredith to become a woman- and the Breakdowns women are here to recount every perfect moment of this instant classic episode.

Then the SLC "Meredith's Bat Mitzvah" episode recap- 14:31

From Mary peeping in the windows, to Michele's tales of her own bat mitzvah (unfortunately it was not at the age of 48, nor in a ski lodge, nor televised), to Angie's breakout monologue on Britani's high body count hair, nails dress, and boobs, we revel in every glorious detail and delight in the campy twist ending that the ladies were secretly going to Puerto Vallarta next episode- the whole time!

Oral exams: 54:33
