Cloud, her former Svengali, to create the classic known as Money Cant Buy You Class.

The new song is called Viva La Diva!

which sounds like a catchphrase that someone is trying to get to take off.

Theres something about the ritual of them repeating their self-delusions that we love, like a dysfunctional lullaby.

Just ask You Oughta Know in 1995.

I think the best example of this is Sonja Tremont Morgan of the Buffalo Bobs Bingo Balls Morgans.

But then we learn that shes actually going to sell the townhouse.

Well, its complicated.

You told me to go to hell the other day, Leah says to her mother.

What did you say to me first?

I told you to fuck off.

Yes, that is the Leah we have learned to love over these past 21 episodes.

She is brash, she is bold, and she is bratty.

Later in the episode, Leah and Sonja set up a trip to go exercise together.

Oh just take Sonja to Martin.

Pretty pretty pretty like with an Its About Tom on top.

I need to see this episode.

How I would have loved to be there.

These days all we do is remember.

Remember going to events with your friends?

Ugh, when did everything get heavier than Luanns mirror-ball encrusted hat at the Drag Queen Bingo party?

Ramona has no interest in any event unless she can meet a man there.

She would go to a Trump rally if she thought she could get a date out of it.

Well, she would probably go to a Trump rally just because, but you see what Im saying.

Its like some sort of bad behavior feedback loop.

Im not doing that.

Im not giving Tinsley that, Dorinda shouts as she breaks away from the scrum.

This incident is interesting for two reasons.

The first is that it becomes all about the show.

Dorinda takes the nice moment and starts shouting in everyones faces, Tinsley almost ruined our show.

She left the show and breached her contract, and you want to do a toast to her.

But whats even more interesting, and scarier, is the vitriol that Dorinda still has for Tinsley.

That vitriol might have even beenwhyTinsley left.

As the women scatter, Leah sits down with Luann.

Yes, all of these women are stagnant to some degree.

Sonja still wont touch the Morgan letters even though her six-year marriage ended more than a decade ago.

Ramona is still going on about the Christmas cards she used to take with her ex-husband.

Luann is still using a title that has been void longer thanSex and the Citywas on television.

But theyre all trying.

They may be wilted, but theyre sunflowers growing, ever so steadily toward the light.

She is not changing.

She is spiraling, like the last bits of a bubble bath as they gurgle in the drain.

She didnt know what the future held just after Christmas.

The rear door opened and a redhead sat inside.

She pushed her long hair behind one ear and said, Get in.

Theres somewhere I have to take you.

Where are we going?

I dont want to go.

Its time, Jill Zarin said.

Theres something I have to show you.
