We waited with baited breath to see who would be worthy of Alex's most memorable retort, and it turned out to be The Countess herself. Don't stand between a 'Wife and her desired designer, lest you earn a moniker worth repeating.

Kelly decided to reach out to Alex and let her know she was being "weird." Over a single pancake, Kelly warned Alex that everyone was worried about her, and that she was in danger of being "iced out." Most of all, Kelly wanted Alex to stop being red, because it was freaking her out.

Jill's expertise was called in many times this season (music production, detective work, etc.), but most impressive was hands down her work in the dental arts. Jill's decision to make Cindy's teeth "less horsey" might have been met with some resistance from Cindy's actual dentist, but her teeth looked great, thanks of course to Jill Zarin.

After taking a brief vacation to Australia, Jill returned, and it didn't take long for her and Ramona to butt heads. Their big brawl at Ramona's pinot grigio tasting was one for their brawling record books -- culminating in Jill tearfully calling Bobby and swearing that Ramona would never receive the small koala she brought back from down under.

Sonja's White Swan performance rivalled Natalie Portman's Oscar-winning role, even if it was addressing some "jealous b---hes" in particular.

Though Sonja silenced him at the actual march (in favor of her own speech), Simon gave his marriage equality "If Alex was an Alec. . " dissertation back in Brooklyn. The inspiring work of hypothesis was truly a delight, and count it among one of the greatest soliloquies in Housewives history.

How do you woo Kelly Killoran Benismon? Quote Due Date. Or at least that's what seemed to be the case at the LuAnn's wine/speed-dating event. The entire evening was a wonderful insight into how to date Cindy, LuAnn, or Kelly, and most of all a reminder that the best skill an actor has is improvisation.
How can you argue about anything on a beautiful day in the Hamptons? At least, that's what Kelly thought, which is why when Sonja tried to get serious about setting up a meeting between Ramona and everyone's favorite jelly-bean lover, Kelly's only reaction was to drop to the sand and relish in its majesty.
The lesson learned was ultimately: when traveling with the Housewives, pack plenty of hangers. But before that pearl of wisdom was gleaned Cindy accused Sonja of stealing her hangers, and LuAnn attempted to remedy the situation by bring armfuls of hangers to whoever was in need. We still aren't sure what exactly transpired, but it seems everyone managed to store their clothes somewhere, so it worked out in the end.

Not that anyone should delight in Ramona Singer's tears, but when she and Jill had their big brawl in Morocco it was a must-watch, including Ramona's teary post-fight breakdown.
Untrue to her Lady Morgan moniker, Sonja had no problems aiding her plumber by reaching into her toilet and dislodging the Blackberry that was clogging her toilet. Why was there a Blackberry in her toilet? Did she have to pay the plumber? Did she wash her hands enough. We can't answer those questions, but we can instruct you to watch the video one more time.

In which, we learned the definition of "Sonja Fresh" and were dazzled by how quickly the ladies picked up on modern hip hop moves -- or rather how much they didn't.
Ramona has a reputation for speaking her mind, but rarely is she so quickly caught by her words. When Cindy's brother's girlfriend (stay with us) over heard her discussing Howie's cigar-smoking, she was none too-pleased. Oops. . .

After finding out from Avery that Ramona still receives monthly visits from "Aunt Flo," who didn't want to believe that Ramona was truly with child. So, of course, Sonja couldn't wait until Ramona wasn't on a boat to give her a pregnancy test. However, maybe they should have anticipated that Jill Zarin wouldn't let them clog up the boat bathroom all evening, unnoticed.

This season was filled with animals -- snakes, horses, dogs, etc. -- but it was LuAnn's bumpy camel ride that put the wild in wildlife. Thankfully The Countess handled her near spill with her signature class, and the camel moved on to other pursuits -- like eating Jill Zarin's bracelet.
