Host Meredith recaps The Real Housewives of New York City season 5 episode 5, “The Cool Girls,” focusing on who is invited to Heather’s London trip and Ramona’s anger at being excluded. Aviva tells Heather her anxiety keeps her from traveling and insists it isn’t loyalty to Ramona, while Heather admits she didn’t invite Ramona because she doesn’t like her company and worries about Ramona embarrassing her around international business partners. Luann pursues acupuncture for fertility, and Heather shares her son’s ongoing health issues after a baby liver transplant, discussing immunosuppressants and advocating for organ donation and vaccines. Aviva asks Sonja to plan a five-year anniversary party for Reid, Sonja describes her interns, and Carole goes on a date with Paymon. At a fashion styling event, Heather reveals Aviva’s prosthetic leg, Ramona behaves poorly, and a confrontation with Heather goes unresolved; Carole later shares that executives want a pilot based on her book, which Ramona upstages by announcing her Pinot is in Target.
