And we're back! Our favorite ladies have finally returned to us! We open with Heather getting her B.O.S.S. on at a photoshoot for Carole's latest tome. Shooting her is a tough German lady who is living in a '90s kind of world according to her very Shirley Manson dress.

Carole has broken up with her BF Russ and it was very not Jen and Brad. Who knew that was the shining example of courteous celebrity breakups?
10123006
Ramona drops in to see Sonja -- and to see that Sonja is SWF-ing her hard. Check out that haircut? Is the Ramona the new Rachel?
10123011
Besides discussing new 'dos, Sonja's also discussing other new. . . dos. She's dating a few eligible gentleman, including a much younger man. Gentle Baby Ben! Thankfully, Sonja could distract Ramona from judgment by pointing out her geometric necklace -- and talking about how tough it is to send her daughter off to college. Sonja even said in interview that Ramona should get a hobby to help cope with Avery going to school -- where have we heard someone say that before?

Thank god for caller ID. Heather sent Aviva straight to voicemail. Girl that is cold. But Carole cannot get into that craziness just yet.
10123021
Thankfully Carole has. . .the entire day to prepare for Aviva, since she'll be at Heather's big birthday party tonight.
10123026
Also not uber-jazzed to see Aviva, Ramona. Ramona knows she sometimes makes mistakes (I believe the phrase is "Pobody's Nerfect, Everybody's Ramotional"), but she's going to hold it together when she sees Aviva. You know, cool and collected Ramona.
10123031
Sonja could be nervous to see Aviva since she's sort of dating her ex -- the infamous Harry Dubin. They are even tongue kissing!
10123036
On to Heather's big birthday. The theme is "Throwback to the Old Back," which translates to "Bad Boy Forever." Make like Diddy and be fabulous.
10123041
For Sonja age is just a number, but seeing Ben talking to new gal Heather is just a little disconcerting. Who is that bending his ear?
10123046
Thankfully it's nothing to fret about. Kristen is married -- and also as fabulous as she needs to be. (Even when's she's mom-ing it up and covered in puke.) Plus, to quote Tom Petty, Kristen's crazy about Elvis, so we'd imagine she wouldn't do anything to send Sonja to the "Heartbreak Hotel."
10123051
Aviva makes a late arrival -- and comes in with a black cloud (according to Ramona). So far this is going off without incident (minus Carole avoiding her).
10123056
That's Sonja's "be cool" face. As in be cool and don't talk about my other boyfriend (Harry, your ex-husband) in front my young boyfriend. It's called the "down low."
10123061
When Carole and Aviva finally do cross paths, Aviva brings up her new duties as an author. Could Carole help her with a first draft?
10123066
Carole's not really feeling them as a writing team. Perhaps they should start with just being pen pals before they start working out co-author contracts.
10123071
And then the moment finally happens, Aviva steals Ramona away from Mario to try to make amends. It was about as awkward as you can imagine. Ramona was not ready for a hug! No touching!
10123076
Note to Aviva: when trying to make up with Ramona, don't mention that she's got a few years on you.
10123081
Ramona responds to that dig by calling Aviva "vicious" and "mysterious," so we're not really into "celebrate our differences" territory yet. Ramona thinks Aviva might be developing a hearing problem in addition to her other health issues.
10123086
The argument ends with Ramona wondering "Who is the Real Aviva"? Ramona, this is a P.Diddy themed party, not an Eminem/Slim Shady-themed party.
10123091
Kristen meets her husband out for dinner -- and he's especially late. She's super embarrassed to be ordering appetizers alone. Thankfully he brought something to remind her that she is forever when work is for never.
10123096
Josh will try to remember to take all their children out -- even that little one, Kingsley. No judgment for missing your pre-kid life.
10123101
Cheer up, he brought you a surprise Kristen! Guess that means you have to "honor" him with some gifts as well -- at least that's what she said.
10123106
After tackling some home organizing, Ramona attempts to tackle some life organizing. Will she push past her "reservations" to get some "reservations" on the books for dinner and drinks?
10123111
Kristen arrives at Chez Sonja for a party, but the legion of interns have forgotten to let her in. They were too busy putting the nuts where the nuts will be sitting (quote of the episode?).
10123116
Meet Marley. He's handsome, resented, and apparently a really big laze about. Get a job Marley. Watch Sonja's expert dog-shaming HERE.
10123121
This is the kind of interaction that probably lead Kristen to saying Ramonja were like her crazy aunts. Tea party with a side of scones and bickering.
10123126
Ramona wants Kristen to know that Aviva snowed her. Myopic, My-opic. Whatever you want to call it, Ramona will not be fooled again.
10123131
But Sonja is not so harsh. Perhaps it's time to give the Leggy Blonde another chance. Could it be that Ramonja is disagreeing about something?
10123136
And so, somehow, the worlds collide and Ramona and Aviva actually go out drinking. Is Aviva just "sucking up her ass" as Ramona says? Or is she just sucking up tequila shots of friendship?
10123141
Could Aviva and Ramona be the new Ramona and Sonja? Ra-viva over Ramonja? We'll have to wait until next week to see.
