Netflix's popular reality show Selling Sunset takes viewers inside the glamorous world of Los Angeles's high-end real estate. The show follows the real estate agents at The Oppenheim Group as they deal with tough seller competition, personal challenges, and office drama.

In episode 8 of Selling Sunset, Down on Your Potluck, the story shifts to Mary Fitzgerald and Jason Oppenheim, who are involved in a personal emotional situation. Their beloved dog, Niko, who had been a constant in their lives for 18 years, is nearing the end of his life.

The episode starts with the sad news that Niko is in end-stage kidney failure, and as the episode progresses, Brett announces to everyone that Niko has passed away. The team comes together for a potluck to help Mary and Jason through this tough time in Selling Sunset.


Niko: A beloved member of the Selling Sunset family

In Selling Sunset episode 8, we see how Niko's illness makes the couple emotional. Niko is diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure, and his condition gets worse, Mary and Jason face the sad reality of saying goodbye to their beloved pet.

In a confessional, Mary shared,

"Niko has been in my life for 18 years. I got him when he was a puppy. And basically, he's been my rock. And he's been there licking my tears when I'm sad and celebrating all the joys and wins."

When Brett Oppenheim announces in the office that Niko passed away, everyone is visibly upset. This shows how much Niko meant to those who knew him. They all talk about how he had been in the office for so many years, and how much they would miss him around.

Chelsea suggests cooking something for them, like a lasagna, because people tend to forget about food in situations like this. Everyone agrees and appreciates this gesture.


Real Estate moves and team dynamics in Selling Sunset

Despite the emotional backdrop in Selling Sunset, the agents continue to handle high-stakes deals and professional challenges. Over a coffee, Chelsea and Emma discuss a new $30 million listing in Manhattan Beach, which remains the most expensive property on the market.

The episode also delves into the team dynamics, particularly during a memorial potluck for Niko. The gathering, intended as a show of support for Mary and Jason, is not without tensions. Bre's decision to bring a chef rather than homemade food has sparked debate and added to the ongoing interpersonal drama.

This incident makes things even worse between them, especially after a recent fight in which Bre talked about Chelsea's husband's cheating in public. Emma is on Chelsea's side, agreeing that Bre crossed a line talking about such a sensitive topic in public.

On the other hand, Chrishell confronts Chelsea about speaking to Bre and wants to hear both sides. She suggests that something is missing in the communication and is not taking any sides.

"I shouldn't even be in the middle. It's very confusing. When I sit and talk to her, she seems very clear on what she's saying. I just wanna support you and be there, and I know Bre knows that's my priority."

Meanwhile, Alanna strategically hires Damian as her project manager for a large landscaping project, demonstrating her determination to succeed within the group.
