What happened in The Real Housewives Of New York City season 15 episode 14?

The Real Housewives Of New York City episode began with Erin wondering about how their getaway went from being a pleasant experience to a fiasco. However, before diving into the impending drama, the scene shifted to Ubah's comments during Racquel's beach trip.

Racquel expressed her frustration in a confessional on The Real Housewives Of New York City, stating that she found it impolite for Ubah to complain about a location that held sentimental value to her. Jessel shared Racquel's sentiment, defending the beach's beauty despite Ubah's negative remarks.

“I would never go to somebody’s home country and start bitching and complaining about a place that they’re taking me to, that they told me was one of their favorites as a child,” said Racquel in a confessional.

The ladies enjoyed the beach, though Ubah was bothered by a dead pigeon, which Racquel saw as part of nature. Despite Ubah's discomfort, some women went into the water, while Brynn questioned Ubah’s presence on the trip. Brynn also caught the eye of a lifeguard by throwing herself onto the sand.

The beach trip ended early due to rain, and the women returned to the villa. Later, Ubah confronted Erin about a conversation with Sai and Brynn, but Erin was vague about it. The flashback revealed the conversation involved questioning the authenticity of Jessel and her husband Pavit's relationship.

Ubah joined the other ladies outside, Racquel attempted to address her offense on The Real Housewives Of New York City, but decided to wait until later to discuss the issue one-on-one with Ubah. When they finally spoke up, Ubah denied being rude and instead criticized the beach, calling it "disgusting." She later claimed she has visited Puerto Rico more frequently than Racquel due to photoshoots.

“You have to really think about how you broach certain subjects with her [Ubah],” claimed Racquel.

Racquel found Ubah's response infuriating, and Sai shared her sentiment. Ubah's inability to acknowledge her mistakes and her tendency to deflect criticism make for an awkward encounter. Erin and Brynn planned a prank call to Abe, but Ubah ruined the joke by announcing Abe was on speakerphone. The situation escalated into a heated exchange between Brynn and Ubah, with Ubah storming off.

In a confessional, Abe shared his rules about swinging, saying he'd decline a threesome with Erin and Brynn. Erin tried to joke about it, but Ubah cut her off, lecturing her about respect. The group discussed the awkward encounter, with Erin calling it "really f*cking weird." Brynn wondered if Erin would confront Ubah about her behavior.

Ubah confronted Erin in the pool, sparking a heated argument that prompted Erin to exit the vicinity. The group relocated to the hot tub, where Brynn tried to lighten the mood, but Ubah got angry again. Ubah and Brynn engaged in a personal and heated exchange, with Ubah accusing Brynn of being fake and Brynn questioning Ubah's modeling career. The insults escalated, with Ubah telling Brynn to leave.

The Real Housewives Of New York City star Erin defends herself after Brynn suggests she abandoned her during the argument, claiming she walked away to defuse the situation. Erin still felt Ubah owes Brynn an apology.
