Lesa, Stanbury, and Ayan: Navigating tensions and moving forward in The Real Housewives of Dubai
The central theme of this episode is that Lesa, Stanbury, and Ayan's relationships are not getting along. After making up on their trip to Bali, Lesa and Ayan get back home and the former reflects on the issues that they have had. The well-known 'voice note' drama in The Real Housewives of Dubai comes up again when Lesa tells her husband Rich about what happened.
Stanbury brings up a controversial voice note, which sparks a fight between Ayan and Lesa, resulting in hurt feelings and a lack of trust. Ayan feels betrayed and is skeptical of interacting with Stanbury in the future, even though the latter is trying to fix their friendship. Stanbury knows that things are still tense, so she invites Lesa to lunch to try to make the circumstances better.
During the emotional conversation, Lesa talks about how worried she is about the rumors that Stanbury called her an escort. Stanbury denies the accusation, but it makes Lesa feel weak because she fears it could hurt her reputation.
Stanbury says sorry in a rare moment of weakness, and the lunch ends on a positive note between the two women. This episode of The Real Housewives of Dubai gives hints that these unresolved problems might come up again in the future since the women still don't trust each other very much.
