The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 12: "Requiem For a Poodle"
So far this season, we have sporadically been introduced to the show within a show, "Sonja is Sad," but this episode was basically a backdoor pilot for that show. So Bravo viewers, is this a show you'd watch on a regular basis. Sonja planning a doggy funeral, veering wildly between emotions. First, she's crying and then she's making jokes. I sort of remember Millou. I get that the death of a dog is hard on people. It's probably harder on Sonja, since she has some emotional issues. It was nice to see the ladies get dressed up in their funeral bests and support their fragile friend.
This episode was very Sonja-centric, but we still got to check in with the other ladies. Kristen is moving on from modeling to auditioning for a workout video. It's weird to think that those people in those videos actually audition. I mean, it makes sense, but I've never thought about it before. Kristen books the workout video and they film it at her house, which I thought was kind of odd, but sure. Josh shows up to be snarky and mock Kristen while she is working. So, let me make sure I understand this. Josh can't be bothered to make time to leave work to attend his daughter's therapy or spend time with his wife, but he can definitely carve out sometime to watch his wife work for the sole purpose of being a dick. Makes sense.
Carole has decided she needs a new assistant, so she sent the call out to Twitter to try to find one. That will definitely not bring out the crazies. Carole interviews them at Ramona's office with Ramona present, which was probably smart. You probably don't want a lot of these people to know where you live. As with most things, who knows if Carole is serious about this or if she is just doing it for fun. Her questions are the best. Do you have experience operating a fog machine? What wouldn't you do for your boss? What's your favorite flower? Do you own or could you get a gun? No one has read her book and no one has resumes. What?
Ladies, watch your backsides, George is back. Sonja and Harry head to Aviva's for dinner and get to meet George's 25-year-old girlfriend, Cody. George is still the erection bandit and Aviva is still defending him no matter how deplorable his behavior. She "jokes" that it was Sonja's fault that she got poked with George's medically enhanced erection and tries to defend her decision to try to set Sonja up with George in the first place. Her reasoning basically boiled down to Sonja is a whore with a thing for old men and she thinks with her pussy. Awesome. With friends like Aviva, who needs enemies? The dinner proceeds how you'd expect when George is there. There's talks of mirrors on ceilings and when Reid tries to contribute everyone stops talking and looks disgusted. Cody and George met at her salon and have been together for 2.5 years. Why was George at Cody's salon, you ask? You may regret asking once you know the answer, but he was getting his scrotum waxed. After dinner, George saunters in with a bag and basically tosses Cody a bag and asks "Eh?" When people realize that George is actually proposing, Cody says yes. Meet your new mommy, Aviva.
Sonja is preparing for Millou's funeral, physically and mentally. She sniffs Millou's collar and throws some shade at her new dog, Marley. That's mean. She tries to compare Millou's upcoming funeral to Princess Di's. She has her "spiritual healer," Aleta St. James, come over and do... something. All I really got from that was that this chick is 57 and chose to have twins. You know who does things like that, Sonja? CRAZY PEOPLE.
If you're a Ramonja fan, good news for you. At dinner with Aviva, the besties finally make nice. Translation: Sonja stops pretending that she was ever really mad at Ramona in the first place and they are back to being peas and carrots again. Ramona even tries setting Sonja up with the age appropriate owner of the restaurant they are in.
Then there is the funeral. Oy. So much ridiculata. Sonja trying to get Siri to record her speech, but since she doesn't know how to work phones it doesn't happen. It's actually a nice speech up until the end, when it gets too over the top. There is Sonja telling everyone "no dog will ever fill his paws," some random lady who may just be a homeless person testifying, the swami?! It was pretty entertaining when we got shots of the other ladies watching the funeral. There was even a nice exchange between Carole and Aviva. Carole mentions that Millou was gay to which Aviva responds he was a pioneer. HA! There was the dumping of the ashes, which I think were supposed to go into the river, but instead they went on the sidewalk. You have to account for wind, Sonja!
So, what did you guys think? Is Josh getting the dreaded bad edit? Would you be Carole's assistant? Are you happy that Ramonja are back together again? Was that funeral too much? Let me know in the comments.
