At Lisa V’s, she complains that she’s exhausted. Rocio tells her she loves all her clothes and shoes, even the ones that Lisa is fussing about. She calls Max, her son, and she says she’s overworked. She tells him he needs to work harder. He says he’d like to. He’s working at Sur now because he decided he didn’t want to go to college anymore. Lisa says if he’s not in school, he has to make it on his own. He says he wants to be successful like his parents and sister are.
He says he’s content with what he’s been given and is lazy. She says he’s not really lazy, but isn’t ambitious. Lisa asks him to meet her to talk the next day. Kyle and her family are seeing Alexia off to college. Kyle says it’s painful to send her off. Kyle says she doesn’t want her to spread her wings and fly. They’re all in Tucson and headed to the University of Arizona. Mauricio says it’s really hot there. Kyle says she has the Tucson police on Twitter to keep an eye on crime.
They meet Chris and Nikki from the school and Kyle says they need to feed the kids. Kyle says she wanted to be a lawyer but had an acting career so her mom didn’t encourage it. Nikki talks about the big dust storms they get called brown outs. Kyle says she hated that she didn’t go to college and that’s why she wants her kids to go. In New York City, Yolanda is helping Bella get settled in her first place. She says it’s not easy sending your girls off to college.
We see her helping Bella pack up last week and Yolanda says Bella’s DUI has made her more insecure about letting her go. Yolanda tells her that everyone is nervous and she needs to put out positive energy. She sends her off to school and says she’ll work on her place while she’s at the school. Back in LA, Brandi meets Ron, her lawyer. She asks what Eddie’s letter means. He says Eddie is asking for a refund on support payments he says he overpaid.
Brandi says Eddie is the one who calculates how much he makes and now he wants $114k back. Brandi wants to go to court but Ron says it will cost more. She says Eddie is saying he makes no money but Brandi says he just got a new TV show. Ron says her position is strong and says he can cut a deal with Eddie’s lawyer. Brandi says she would like them all to get along. Brandi says she just wants this all to be done and says it feels like their divorce all over again.
Eileen is cooking. She calls in the kids and she says she was nicer before she moved into a house of men. Her stepsons live with her and she says she’s used to chaos since she grew up in a big household. Eileen says she likes being a step mom and asks them if they’ve talked to Gigi later. She says you have to find your own place since you’re not their mom. They talk about doing hot yoga and the place happens to be near Gigi’s place.
Eileen says the boys think she’s tough but fair and she also spoiled them rotten. She tells the boys to do the dishes since she cooked. Yolanda says finding Bella a good apartment in New York was hard. She says they lucked into Gigi’s place. This year she found two apartments she liked but then they were taken out from under her. She says she wants Bella to focus on school so they are covering all her living expenses. She says she helped Gigi her first year.
Yolanda says she hopes the kids will start to pay their own way. Yolanda says she’s a DIY gal because she grew up with no one helping her. Yolanda doesn’t like the couch and she talks about how she designs things and doesn’t let anyone make decisions for her. She says that’s her forte. Her decorator agrees to change out the things she doesn’t like. Kyle and hers check into the hotel near the school and Farrah meets them. Alexia is still at school for rush activities.
Kyle says when Farrah left for NYU she cried for a whole month. She says she’s happy she transferred to USC. Kyle says she really wants Alexia to transfer closer to home. Farrah says she can’t believe this is happening. She says they need to get some pretty pillows and things for her. Alexia is in an apartment because she was wait listed for a dorm. Kyle wanted her on campus so she could be around other kids.
Mauricio says they just want her at home. Kyle says by the time Portia leaves, she’ll be ready for a strait jacket. She tells Portia she had her because Farrah left for college. She jokes about getting pregnant again but Mauricio says they have enough. Lisa Rinna calls Harry and he’s on set. Lisa R says she loves acting and says it’s so much fun. She’s doing vocal exercises in the car while she heads to set. She meets Adam, the director, on the set of Director’s Cut.
She talks to Penn Jillette – he wrote the movie and Harry, her hubby, is the star. She says Penn wrote her in to play herself. She says she would do anything but porn for Penn. She has no script and is improvising and playing Harry’s wife. Harry shows up while she’s in makeup and she says she’s ready to show Penn what she will do. They sit down for a table read. She says it’s weird to act with Harry because they’re both acting.
She says there’s a comfort level, but not, so it’s an out of body experience. She says she likes to watch him work and says she’s not sure if he likes to watch her work or even what he really thinks of her. Bella comes in and tells her mom the apartment looks good. Bella says it’s amazing and then gives her mom a card that says she’s sorry for what she did and that she wants her trust back and to show her that she’s a good girl and the girl she raised her to be.
It’s really sweet and Yolanda says Bella’s one mistake doesn’t define her. Yolanda cries and then hugs her daughter. She says she’ll keep the card with her and read it when she misses her. She tells Bella that she knows that people make mistakes because she’s 50 and still makes mistakes. She says this experience made Bella reevaluate where she’s going and the choices she’s making.
At Brandi’s, Mark, her roomie and hairstylist and BFF Jennifer are there along with Peter when Kim shows up. It’s the premier of Eddie and LeAnn and they are having a viewing party.

Brandi says LeAnn is prettier than people give her credit to be. Kim says she wouldn’t want to watch her ex on TV.
Brandi says she’s a character on their show since she’s mentioned constantly but doesn’t get a check for it. Brandi says it’s a show about bashing her and they’re using her kids to promote it. Brandi wants her to stop talking about her kids. Brandi says she wants their show to do well because that means she’ll get more child support.
