They may live in the lap of luxury, but life isn't always perfect for the women who reside in one of the wealthiest enclaves of the U.S.; they continue to focus on living large; plastic surgery, working out, shopping, drinking, dancing, and dining out top their agendas; ladies come and go through the show's run, with entrepreneur Vicki Gunvalson having been a series regular for each season; other ladies who have been featured for multiple seasons include Tamra Judge, previously known as Tamra Barney, and Heather Dubrow.

Tamra celebrates her granddaughter's birthday at a rare family gathering; Heather and Emily work out their issues, but Heather continues to question their friendship.

Gina begins to question her friendship with Heather; Emily questions Heather over her true feelings about Carmella; Tamra and Shannon's rekindling comes to a halt when Shannon puts up a boundary that causes Tamra to bail on their lunch.

Emily invites the ladies for a Persian Party; Vicki takes issue with Tamra for revealing sensitive information; Heather and Terry have a heartfelt talk about their family; Carmella and Jenn tour a house.

The ladies split up for dual trips to Los Olivos and La Quinta. Emily, Jenn and Shannon question their host Vicki, who prioritizes work over her guests; Gina confronts Heather about doing real estate business with Carmella while talking behind her back; after being pressed about her relationship, Vicki reaches a boiling point, leaving Jenn and Emily to decide whether to stay or abandon ship.
