Ep 9. Holidazed and Confused

In season 10 episode 9 of The Real Housewives of New York City, titled "Holidazed and Confused," the ladies are gearing up for the holiday season. However, tensions are high as some of the women continue to clash with each other.

The episode opens with Tinsley, who is still reeling from her breakup with Scott, trying to distract herself by throwing a holiday party. She invites the other ladies over to decorate gingerbread houses and exchange gifts, but things quickly go awry when Dorinda shows up late and starts making snide comments. Tinsley and Dorinda have been at odds all season, and their feud only seems to be getting worse.

Meanwhile, Ramona is struggling to get into the holiday spirit. She's been feeling lonely since her divorce and misses her daughter, who is away at college. She decides to host a holiday party of her own, hoping to surround herself with friends and cheer herself up. However, her party quickly turns into a disaster when she invites two of the women who have been causing drama all season - Bethenny and Carole. The three women can't seem to get along, and their arguments threaten to ruin the holiday cheer for everyone else.

Over at Luann's house, she's preparing for her holiday cabaret show. She's excited to be back on stage after a difficult year, but she's also nervous about how her fellow housewives will react to the show. She invites the ladies to come see her perform, hoping to show them that she's still got it.

As the episode goes on, tensions between the women continue to escalate. Sonja and Tinsley get into a fight over something trivial, while Bethenny and Carole continue to snipe at each other. As the women attend various holiday parties and events, it becomes clear that the holiday season is not bringing them as much joy as they had hoped.

Ultimately, the episode ends on a bittersweet note. Luann's cabaret show goes well, but she gets into a fight with Dorinda afterwards, leaving their friendship more strained than ever. Ramona's party ends in disaster, with Bethenny and Carole storming out after yet another argument. And Tinsley, who had hoped to bring everyone together with her holiday party, is left feeling more alone than ever. In the end, the women are holidazed and confused - struggling to find joy in a season that is supposed to be all about love and togetherness.
