## Summary

Andy Cohen returns for the show’s ninth hour-long Reunion special which brings together the six starring ladies to discuss their holiday to Singapore. To start off the episode on a positive note, the host asks all the ladies to identify their favorite part of the trip. Later, he asks them to reveal their least favorite part. Hulla is praised for her creativity on the trip; while the girls rally around a tearful Joyce, who still finds it difficult to discuss her close brush to breast cancer, as well as the death of a close family member. Attention soon turns to Joyce and Valerie’s feud, starting with Angela. The two seem like they aren’t able to reconcile any form of friendship as Joyce calls Valerie “heartless” and says Angela still hasn’t got over her trip being “ruined”. The last comment is met with an eye roll on Valerie’s side, who maintains the position that she is unlikely to make up with either Joyce or Angela.

Keeping with Joyce, Andy Cohen revisits her argument with Mandy, after she was disappointed that Joyce hadn’t stepped up and spoken out in defence of her and Mary. She said she was left reeling as it was an attack on her personality and she is the most supportive friend there could be. Mandy said that it was a one-time comment and it was more of a general observation that as Mary was being ignored and left out, this should’ve been recognised. She apologises profusely to Joyce, who says that she may have been more emotional during the season and taken it a little too far. The girls share a hug, agree to make up and put the drama behind them. Mandy and Mary are then asked about their falling out with Hulla and they don’t comment much on it and simply say it’s ‘settled dust’ and it was just a clash of opinion - nothing more. Mandy and Jade’s numerous arguments are the next topic of discussion. The girls all chip in where they think everything went wrong and Mandy recognises that her strong feelings for protecting Mary may have meant she never gave a friendship with Jade and that it was wrong. Perceiving herself as ‘new and improved’, Mandy says she needs to be more forgiving and is willing to have a coffee with Jade to sort their differences and get to know one another. Jade agrees and says the arguments got way too out of hand. She adds that she likes Mandy’s quirky personality and was looking forward to a coffee. Mary says that she “bears grudges” and won’t so easily forgive Jade, as she doesn’t like “tattle tales” and won’t ever grow close to them. Jade simply shrugs the comments off and says that she’ll always do what she believes is best.

Finally, the timeline of Hulla and Jade’s friendship is aired, as the two girls sullenly share frosty looks throughout the episode. The girls always seemed very close and formed a close bond from the first day they met but animosity grew when it got to parenting skills over Hulla’s baby boy, Max. Jade breaks down in tears, confessing she has lost a “dear friend” and is absolutely shocked they have fallen out. Hulla remains angry and says it’ll take some time to forgive Jade but is usually very forgiving and appreciates her concern for her baby. The two don’t seem to make up but their argument does progress into a stalemate of some sort. Asked if the girls would be up for a tenth season, a visibly upset Jade says she’s unsure as she didn’t sign up for all the drama but instead ‘a fun time’. All the other girls nod or enthusiastically saying they’d really love to appear for another season. The girls all grab a glass of champagne and cheers for another wonderful season.
