The Real Housewives Continue to Question Sutton’s Drinking

While it’s been fun watching Kyle and Sutton trigger each other every episode, the frenemies have finally decided to put things to rest (for now) following Kyle’s disastrous weed dinner.

To everyone’s surprise, Crystal is, as Dorit calls her, the carrier pigeon in this situation. And based on the mid-season—even though we’re only a third of the way in—trailer following the episode, it seems like a producer has finally convinced her to play in the mud with the rest of her messy castmates.
