The Real Housewives of NYC

Get a sneak peek at this season of The Real Housewives of New York City! Aviva Drescher, Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill, Ramona Singer, and Heather Thomson are back this season and are joined by model and businesswoman Kristen Taekman as they navigate their hectic lifestyles

The ladies are back and fierce as ever. Heather hosts her own birthday party, but no one is looking forward to seeing Aviva after some of her past eyebrow-raising behavior. The ladies are also introduced to Heather's longtime friend Kristen, a working model and mother-of-two.

When Aviva scores a book deal for her memoir, she decides to meet with Carole, the renowned author of the group, for help. Their lunch quickly turns uncomfortable and things get ugly when the topic of "ghostwriters" is mentioned.

Carole and Aviva's explosive fight at Aviva's housewarming spills out into the party, shocking all in attendance. Kristen gets pressure from her husband and Heather to run in a brutally physical mud run. Will she make it to the finish line with her body - and marriage - still intact?

The women head to the Hamptons to watch Sonja perform a burlesque number at a charity event. Countess LuAnn makes her return to the group as she hosts a Hamptons barbecue at her home, where another explosive argument regarding "book-gate" leads Heather to ferociously defend Carole.

A rare honor is bestowed upon Carole at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, which leads to Carole, Kristen, Sonja, LuAnn and Heather cavorting around the boardwalk dressed as sea-going drag queens. Meanwhile, Aviva and Reid head Upstate to see if Aviva can face her biggest fear

Ramona is back from her family trip to Africa and she's collected a new-found inner peace. Kristen and Carole meet their old friends Brandi and Yolanda from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Heather and Jonathan host a 10-year anniversary party

It's the Fourth of July weekend in the Hamptons, and the women gather for some fun at the beach. Kristen and Ramona butt heads over Ramona avoiding Heather's anniversary party. The tension sets the mood for the rest of the weekend.

After standing Sonja up for a sunbathing date, Ramona decides to spill Sonja's financial secrets all over the Hamptons. Meanwhile, back in New York, Kristen meets with a new modeling agent, and is shocked to learn that her modeling days may be over.

Heather invites all the ladies, except Aviva, to her vacation house in the Berkshires for the weekend. Things get dangerously out of hand when a placid canoe trip turns into a blood bath, with Kristen and Ramona going head-to-head.

Heather attempts to calm the quarreling Kristen and Ramona with a dinner fit for a King. The next morning, the women go hiking in the woods when Ramona stumbles upon something that brings out her worst childhood horrors, causing her to flee the Berkshires.

Back in New York City, the women confront Ramona about her bad behavior, specifically, ditching them for a party in the Hamptons. LuAnn invites Carole on a double date, but will Carole's awkward dating behavior end it before it begins?

Aviva's controversial father, George, returns, and this time, he has a surprise in the form of a new lady friend. Everyone gathers to bid Sonja's dog adieu in a memorial like no other.

Aviva decides to throw George, her sex-crazed father, and Cody, his twenty-five-year-old girlfriend, a party, but can Ramona and George reconcile or will their dislike for each other ruin the night? LuAnn takes everyone but Aviva and Ramona to Saratoga for a weekend, but Sonja parties a little too hard and things quickly get out of hand.

Sonja's gossipy facialist spills secrets about the women to Kristen, who shares what she heard with Carole and LuAnn, who angrily refute the stories. LuAnn hosts a charity luncheon where Aviva sends around a naughty text that royally ruffles the Countess's feathers.

The ladies are set to escape the city and venture into big sky country: Montana! After procuring a doctor's note, Aviva opts out of the trip due to a sudden horse allergy and asthma condition that nobody is buying. The ladies hit the ground running in Montana, strapping on their designer boots and hats before heading out on a real-life cattle drive.

The ladies are halfway into their Montana adventure and the tension between Sonja and LuAnn still lingers. There are distractions from the drama with a full day of outdoor activities. The ladies come together for a modern day treasure hunt called Geocaching, only to splinter apart again when a beer-lubricated Heather gets on Kristen's last nerve.

Heather and Kristen are still at odds as the ladies prep for their evening of "glamping." Surprisingly, Ramona sides with Kristen and they form a bond for the first time. Heather and Kristen can't make up before the big rodeo show where the ladies enjoy an event that brings them totally out of their element.

When the girls return from Montana, Aviva learns her illness has been the butt of everyone's jokes and decides she needs a break from the group. Ramona's husband Mario is slated to perform at an open mic night at Birdland, one of NYC's most iconic Jazz bars. Kristen cooks dinner for Josh, but when he shows up late, a fight reveals some deeper problems in their relationship.

Carole turns fifty and decides to celebrate her birthday with an extravagant, all-out bash. Ramona and Mario prepare for life in an empty nest as they send daughter Avery off to college, while Kristen and Josh seek professional help to put their marriage back on the rails.

After being swooned and then ditched at Carole's birthday party, Sonja must confront both Harry and LuAnn about their alleged night together. Kristen pulls some matrimonial strings to get a modeling job and when Aviva returns to the group for the first time in weeks, insults, accusations, and body parts fly in an explosive season-ending confrontation.

Hosted by Andy Cohen, the ladies of NYC: Aviva Drescher, Sonja Morgan, LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Ramona Singer, Kristen Taekman and Heather Thomson reunite for the first time since the season finale.

In part two of the reunion, tension between Aviva and Carole comes to a head as they unravel the details of the infamous Bookgate feud. Ramona digs herself into a deeper hole with Heather when she tries to explain her disdain for the Berkshires.

In part three of the reunion, Heather and Aviva butt heads when Aviva decides to "out" Heather. Ramona tries to dismiss Kristen and her opinions, but the new girl won't be so easily shut down. The ladies open up about the individual struggles and heartache they faced this year.
