What to expect from RHOP season 7 episode 9?

This week, the ladies are set to continue celebrating the Grand Dame, Karen Huger's birthday. The past few weeks of the season have been extremely dramatic considering the ongoing feud between Mia and Wendy.

Following the dramatic altercation two weeks ago, the rest of the ladies began taking sides. While Wendy was rarely seen on last week's episode, Mia was frustrated at Karen.

The official synopsis of the RHOP episode reads:

"Karen and Mia struggle to recover after an explosive confrontation; when Candiace is caught talking trash about the group to the public, Robyn confronts the issue with the help of a special guest; Ashley brings a rumor about Karen to the table."

After the altercation with Wendy, Mia felt that Karen didn't have her back. She was previously seen talking to her husband Gordon about the same. The two ladies got into an argument by the end of last week's episode, which seemed to have fractured their relationship. A few preview clips released by Bravo this week tease more drama.

As the RHOP housewives gathered for Karen's birthday dinner, the Grand Dame was seen telling fellow castmates that Mia wasn't hosting the dinner anymore because of their argument and that it was going to be a simple dinner.

The ladies then gathered for dinner and although Mia arrived late, they were seen having a gala time discussing their favorite "Karen moments," and enjoying a fire dance.

Another preview clip showed the cast members gathering for a group dinner. While the ladies were having multiple conversations, Ashley took herself aside and asked Wendy to join her.

She explained that the trip was primarily organized to celebrate Karen's birthday and Wendy, who is a friend, should be with them, irrespective of the feud with Mia. However, Wendy didn't seem too happy about that.

After Wendy joined in, the RHOP ladies were seen confronting one another over issues. Robyn played a voice note that had Candiace speaking about fellow castmates, and Ashley was seen bringing up rumors about Karen dating other men, which infuriated the latter.
