Season 4 kicks off in style with “Grin and Bare It,” as the Real Housewives of New York City return with fresh energy—alongside one bold new cast member. Cindy Barshop, the self-made “wax queen” from the West Village, makes her debut hosting an art party that immediately sets the tone for a season of questioning, exposure, and power plays. 

At Ramona’s rooftop cocktail party—part fashion, part showdown—old alliances are tested and cracks begin to show. Alex McCord coils tighter in her tension with Jill Zarin: the two women team up with Ramona to surprise Jill in a move that feels less celebratory and more strategic. Meanwhile, Jill endures thinly veiled jabs about Cindy’s twin daughters. 

Throughout the episode, we see reinventions collide with reputations. New women try to claim space; old friendships wobble. The stage is set: in this city of illusions and image, nobody walks in without a mask—and some are ready to rip them off.
