Meredith recaps The Real Housewives of New York City Season 5, Episode 12, “All How You Spin It,” as tensions build toward the St. Barts trip. At a party, Ramona eavesdrops and explodes at Heather, while Aviva aggressively defends Ramona, reigniting conflict tied to Heather’s London invitations. Aviva hosts a charity spin class for her foundation supporting children who need prosthetics; Heather, Carole, and Luann attend, but Ramona and Sonja skip, prompting Aviva’s frustration. Aviva and Carole later help present a child with running prosthetic legs, highlighting the cause’s importance. Over lunch at Ramona’s, Aviva confronts Ramona and Sonja for missing the event, dismissing Sonja’s dog emergency and escalating into a heated argument, as plans and anxieties about flying to St. Barts loom.
