01x08 - Love, Death, and Beyond

Post by bunniefuu »

[group] Cheers.

[Lisa Vanderpump] Previously, on

Vanderpump Villa

Sara is here to celebrate

her divorce, of all things.

[Megan] Is someone coming

to give me a massage?

-[Eric] Face that way.

-[Megan] Oh! [gasps]

[Lisa] We don't offer a

massage service here.

I'll be pulling his

leash a little tighter.

I'm not gonna hold this

staff meeting.

Stephen, I want you

to do that for me.

It's a very weird feeling

to have somebody replace you.

[dramatic music playing]

Priscila's leaving,

so we are going to welcome

our new staff member.

-This is Nikki.

-Hello.

She's so freaking hot!

What the [bleep]?

-Marciano, do you know her or something?

-No.

He's acting like he

[bleep] Nikki.

-Do you think she's prettier?

-Oh gosh, Hannah.

Ew. Stay the [bleep]

away from me.

I'm literally so confused

what I did wrong.

[Hannah] You literally lie!

[bleep] liar!

-Marciano, screw you too.

-I'll talk to her.

[Nikki crying]

[Hannah] Who the [bleep]

cries on their first day?

Am I dreaming?

Nikki's in my room crying.

Hannah and Marciano

are fighting.

[Marciano]

Stay right there.

-[punches door]

-[Marciano] Holy sh*t!

Marciano totally turned on me.

I have had it with the Chateau.

[intriguing theme

music playing]

♪♪

[intense music playing]

[Hannah] You're a piece of sh*t

and don't have my back.

I'm done being talked

to like a [bleep] animal.

I'm leaving.

-[Telly] I don't think you

-No, please, please go.

-Hannah, stop. Don't.

-Please. Go.

[Telly] We don't even know

what happened, Hannah.

What do you mean? They're

literally talking sh*t in there.

What else?

[Hannah] They're talking

sh*t in there? [bleep] that.

The guests are

arriving tomorrow and

me and Gabriella

are trying to sleep.

But no, no, no, no, no, no,

[chuckles] no, no, no.

Hannah's lashing out.

[Hannah] Oh, he was yelling

at you again?

Like, shut up. I'm leaving.

[Gabriella] Hannah is like the

little girl who cried wolf.

She wants to go off on people

and be a bully,

but then she's the one crying

that she says she

wants to go home.

Hannah, if-if you wanna

go home babe, go home.

[pensive music playing]

I mean, I could see everybody

in the Chateau thinking

that I always just

cause a drama-fest

and I don't think it's fair,

'cause they don't know

what the [bleep]

I've been through

with Marciano.

He's a trigger for me.

My own ex-boyfriend is acting

like he's asleep right now.

[upbeat music playing]

Last night, Eric has

the consideration

to give me his room

because Chef and I has to

wake up early every morning

to make sure everything

is right for the guests.

After the kiss and Carcassonne,

and talking about divorce,

I'm seeing a different

side of Eric.

I like that.

Did you make your [indistinct]

yet, or no?

No. I'm gonna make one.

The thing is I didn't

really get a chance

to get to know Eric.

It was more about

work, work, work.

And now it's a new look.

I like it. I really like it.

-[birds chirping]

-[knocking at door]

[plucky music playing]

-[birds chirping]

-♪♪

[Eric] The last few days

have been crazy.

Hannah lost her sh*t and

a [bleep] divorce party.

But I am very grateful that

we had a gorgeous setting

with a beautiful sunrise

and I'm so happy to

experience this with Emily.

We made it.

Every morning we're gonna

make this sunrise out here,

no matter what crazy stuff

happens in this house.

[accordion folk music playing]

-Right?

-[Emily] Yeah. [chuckles]

[Eric] It's like a detox

from everything.

[exhales] Stress, guests.

[Emily]

[chuckles]

[sighs] Can't wait to see

what this day brings.

[both chuckle]

I think it is a lil

a little much.

Thanks.

♪♪

Yeah, like, it's

just nice, like,

to have someone to talk to,

someone that likes nature,

someone that can wake up early

and just, like,

watch the sunrise.

Maybe I do like Eric.

[both chuckle]

I mean, I'm open to it

but also, I'm trying

to focus on the job

and show everyone that

I'm a good worker

and show everyone that

I know what I'm doing.

-[sheep bleating]

-[Emily] Bernard woke me up this morning.

-[Eric] I know. He-He was up.

-[Emily] Did you hear him?

-He was up before the sun came up, yeah.

-Yeah.

[Emily] That's what initially woke me up

when I looked outside.

There's been times

when I double-take Emily.

She's any guy's dream.

She's the most capable,

prettiest, natural,

beautiful girl in this

whole chateau.

I really think that

she's the beauty

of this whole operation,

but I really want to keep

it professional.

So, Bernard's our alarm

clock from now on.

-[Bernard bleating]

-[chuckles]

[vibrant music playing]

It's definitely difficult

being the new girl.

The past 24 hours

or so have been

a rollercoaster of emotions.

There's been drama between me,

Marciano, and Hannah.

-[knocking]

-[Lisa] Nikki?

-[Nikki] Hello.

-Come in, darling.

But I just, like, want

to do good work

and I want Lisa

to know it as well.

How are you?

I want to know everything.

-Um

-[curious music playing]

It was a bit of an

underwhelming enthusiasm

for my arrival, I'll say.

Marciano said to me,

"I don't need you."

Or, "I would rather you not

be here. We don't want you."

I don't know personally

what he needs,

but I know my Chateau

needs another server.

♪♪

It was like, I think

2:00 a.m. or so,

when basically the entire

Chateau was waking up

from Hannah yelling.

What?

[Nikki] Just saying she

doesn't wanna be here.

Yeah, I basically

cried myself to sleep.

-You cried yourself sleep?

-But Yes.

And that argument,

I just felt like I couldn't win.

And then, she's like,

"Babe, just stop crying.

I was just talking to you."

But I'm just like

it started

and I just can't stop.

Oh God. Okay.

Often with staff

I hear the text,

but I'm reading the subtext.

Hannah's threatened by Nikki

and now I need to

talk to Hannah.

Okay, I've heard enough.

You have every reason

to be here.

Put your shoulders

back and stand up to anybody

who says otherwise, okay?

-Have you got that?

-I got it.

-Okay. Thank you, darling.

-Thank you.

-Can you send me Hannah, please?

-Yes.

[Lisa] I thought that Hannah

was doing much better,

but to have somebody

go to bed in tears

is not happening.

Not on my watch.

So I need to get to the

root of the problem.

♪♪

There she is.

-Sit.

-[plucky music playing]

[Hannah sighs]

♪♪

What time are you leaving?

♪♪

What?

Didn't you pack your bags?

Yeah, I did.

They're not still packed?

No.

I'm not in the business of

keeping anybody that

wants to leave.

-Mm-hmm.

-If you want to leave, it's not a threat.

It's, "Okay I'm done"

-[Hannah] Mm-hmm.

-"and I'm fine with that."

-Mm-hmm.

-I mean, I'd be sorry to see you go

because I think you

have a lot of potential

-Right.

-but right now

I think you're stuck in a rut,

and we've got to get

you out of this.

Who you are and

who I know you can be

is not what I'm hearing.

[Hannah]

Oh, my God. I can't believe

Nikki [bleep] said

something to her.

-[sassy music playing]

-If we're talking about the new girl,

I did give her a chance.

Okay. Did you Hannah?

[Nikki sobbing]

She's batshit crazy.

She's crying.

What are you crying about?

-Did you really give her a chance?

-I feel like I did.

-We're good. We're good.

-[Nikki] Was that the issue?

[Nikki] Like, you thought that you

had looked away?

-'Cause I thought

-Again, I just said we're good.

Are you dismissing me?

-Are you

-[Hannah] I'm dismissing you. 100%.

Do you honestly feel you can

look me in the eyes and say,

"I welcomed her in. I wanted

to make her comfortable,"?

No you didn't.

Maybe I was a little

th-thrown off guard

and a little insecure

in the moment.

There is a trigger for you

and it's Marciano.

I've seen it before.

I saw it with Priscila.

-[Hannah] Wow.

-[Priscila] What happened?

Come on.

♪♪

[Lisa] I want you to realize

that it doesn't matter

about other women.

You don't have to

knock out women

that you see as competition.

[intense music playing]

There's always a woman that's

gonna flirt with your boyfriend

and you're not even really

together with Marciano.

You can be the best

Hannah there is.

That's how you can be.

Not, "I'm an angry

little b*tch."

'Cause that's how you've been.

[dramatic sting]

You're going to be

under my watch.

Hannah needs to get her

sh*t together really quickly

because I don't have the time

or the patience for

this to keep going.

This isn't just about

the Chateau.

This is a life lesson.

Yeah.

[pensive music playing]

You're enough, Hannah.

Why don't you feel enough?

[crying] I don't know.

Tell me. Why don't

you feel enough?

[crying] 'Cause I've

been burned.

I get it.

Sorry.

[sniffles]

[Lisa] You're so individual

that you almost, uh,

have this magic about you.

And how smart you are,

you don't need to feel

insecure about anything.

I don't wanna, like,

start crying,

but I think I've just been

hurt by Marciano

where I get insecure.

I've been burned

so many times that I'm like,

"Oh is it something with me?"

[voice breaking] Or, you know

[Lisa] You will always be

the best Hannah there can be.

-Do you understand?

-Mm-hmm.

And that's enough.

You screaming till

two o'clock in the morning

does nothing for anybody

and it does nothing for your

relationship with Marciano.

[solemn music playing]

Take a moment.

Okay.

I'm moving forward

after with my talk with Lisa,

and her saying like,

"You need to tell yourself

every day you are enough."

I need to stop reacting

off emotions.

Like, if there's the thought

that goes through my head,

I need to, like, sit on it.

I just don't wanna fly

off the wall anymore.

Walking out of this door,

I wanna see a

change in you, Hannah.

Put a smile on your face,

put your shoulders back,

and you're good enough.

You got this.

[upbeat music playing]

We have the next group

of guests coming.

So I need to make some

changes amongst the staff

because I can't afford to

be put in this situation

that Eric put me in

with the divorce party.

Good morning!

[staff] Good morning!

[laughter]

Whoa! [chuckles]

This looks good.

We have guest of honor,

Michelle.

She's entering her thirties

in style with a lavish affair

that symbolizes a grand

adieu to her twenties.

Look at her, poor thing.

She's gonna be 30 years old.

I've got underwear

older than that.

[staff laughing]

Anyway. Um, Eric,

you're not gonna be interacting

with any of the guests.

[dramatic sting]

Oh.

After the last debacle

over the last bunch of guests,

Eric needs to understand

that there are consequences

to actions.

This is a professional job.

Everybody thinks this is

some kooky weird sh*t.

[Lisa] We don't offer a

massage service here.

When Eric was working

for me in Los Angeles,

he was very, very professional.

He definitely brings a

unique flavor to the Chateau,

but Eric has lost his

je ne sais quoi.

So, because he's very

accomplished as a handyman,

I'm pulling Eric out

of the Chateau.

There's ditches that

need to be dug.

There's chandeliers that

need to be installed.

And then I'm gonna ask

Stephen to step in for Eric

because he's very, very capable.

He did a wonderful job

for me in Vegas.

Okay, because you are not

at the front of the house,

I'm going to need somebody

to check them in.

Stephen, that's gonna be you.

Lisa wants to give Stephen

my job of greeting the guests?

Fine.

Enjoy being the

"chateau manager"

for the day, Stephen,

because it's never gonna last.

Hope it's nice and cool for you

working under my shadow.

Stephen, if you have

any questions,

you could just ask.

I don't think he will.

[laughter]

-[Eric] Alright. Understood.

-[Lisa] Alright?

[Eric] I'm happy and proud.

Go get 'em Tiger.

Appreciate you, Eric.

[groans] I need Eric to stop.

He's just always looking

for a reason to just speak.

He needs to take a seat 'cause I

know the details she's looking for.

It's exciting to step back

into those shoes again

and prove that

I'm the right guy.

Are we all on the

same page? Yes?

-[staff] Yes.

-[Lisa] Thank you.

-I'll see you later.

-[Eric] Thank you. Meeting adjourned.

[upbeat music playing]

[Emily]

What the [bleep]?

[Gabriella] Damn.

Oh, my God.

Lisa is tasking me with

many different projects

and you know why?

Because I can do anything.

[circus music playing]

[grunting]

Do you think that

Stephen's gonna be

cutting the grass?

Painting?

I don't think so.

Getting sh*t done

is my middle name.

♪♪

[Eric grunting, panting]

[Emily] Eric is just outside

doing manual labor.

Somethin' that

I think he genuinely

enjoys doing and

something I genuinely

enjoy watching. [chuckles]

[Lisa] Do you see Eric without

his shirt on swinging that thing?

[Stephen] If he wants to showcase

his groundskeeper skills,

I have no problem delegating

duties specifically for him

because that's what a real

chateau manager does.

Eric, dear, can you go look

at the toilet in La Rose?

[Eric laughs loudly]

Shut up. Is this a joke?

This what my life has come to.

What the [bleep]?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

[light, upbeat music playing]

[Lisa]

The new guests are arriving

and there's so many

different components that

need to go exactly right.

Hannah needs to get

along with Nikki.

Marciano needs to avoid Nikki.

Eric needs to avoid the guests.

And Stephen needs to step it up

with his new responsibilities.

What could possibly go wrong?

♪♪

Welcome to Chateau Rosabelle,

Michelle.

[Michelle] Thank

you so much. Hi!

Please have a

glass of champagne.

This chateau, it's absolutely

picturesque and beautiful.

-Oh my gosh, this is

[Michelle] so Villa Blanca.

Oh gosh, yeah.

Would you like to

go with Stephen?

-[Michelle] Yes!

-[Stephen] Come on over.

I always love taking

a new challenge.

So being told that I get to

check the guests in today

is super exciting for me.

And I hope you're excited.

Okay, I'm super pumped.

We have some pre-dinner

c*ck at our bar

around the corner here at 7:15.

At 7:30 is gonna be

tonight's event.

It's a Côte d'Azur dinner.

-[Michelle] Ooh!

-[guest] Okay.

And then just a little night cap

at the end on the terrace.

-Oh, my God.

-Sounds so much fun.

-Yeah, I got this.

-How do you know everyone?

-[Michelle] Have you been here long?

I actually just got here.

So, I'm, like, experiencing this

a little bit with you guys

because everyone else

has been here

kind of from the beginning

except for me.

-Yeah. So we're-we're excited together.

-We welcomed her with open arms.

-She's one of us now.

-Yeah, yes.

Don't get me wrong,

Nikki is still annoying,

talks a lot, conceited, says

off-the-wall sh*t a lot.

But Lisa was right, I didn't

give her a fair chance.

We're all different

and I'm sure

I annoy a lot of people

in this house,

so I'm gonna give Nikki

a fair chance.

How are you feeling?

-Good. I'm just trying to like

-I know it's a lot at first.

I'm just, like, standing on kind

of, like, observing, you know?

[Stephen] Do you know how to play it?

It's all mind games.

-[Hannah] I'm good at that.

-[Stephen laughs]

[upbeat classical

music playing]

[Lisa]

It's the guests' first dinner

and the theme tonight

is Côte d'Azur.

The beautiful blue coast.

And it's also Nikki's

first dinner serving

and who knows what will happen

with Hannah and Marciano.

So, Stephen is going to have

a lot of pressure on him.

Trial and error, one might say.

I'm ready for the trial

but maybe not the error.

[phone ringing]

[Stephen] Stephen speaking,

how may I assist you?

Your toilet stop flushing?

Eric? Oh, Eric!

The toilet doesn't work again?

[Stephen] The Fleur-de-lis

in the main room. The toilet.

-What the [bleep]?

-[Stephen] Last night I was at La Rose.

I am really stressed,

but this is my version of

what makes me happy.

[chuckles]

Alright, it's cool. I know

how to plumb in a suit as well.

You have a toilet clog?

I will unclog that toilet.

You need a barber?

I'll cut your [bleep]. You

[laughter]

Whatever we see in there,

we don't tell anyone.

[Grace] Okay.

[Eric] Stephen.

Stephen, if you think

this is gonna be

[bleep] easy for you, it's not.

I'm gonna let him drown

in deep, deep water.

[toilet flushing]

Okay. Okay, we got it,

we got it.

[Stephen] I'm missing

one water glass.

Tonight we've got this

Côte d'Azur dinner,

but right now I'm

really, really frustrated

because it doesn't feel like

I've been working

with a team lately

and it's just putting

me on edge.

[Hannah laughing]

-[intense music playing]

that I am deserving of the position

she's bestowed upon me.

But being the chateau manager,

it is very stressful.

That sh*t pisses me off.

I think Eric is a great person.

I think he has a beautiful heart

but he's trying to be

friend with everyone.

You wonder really,

what is his goal?

Everything is curated,

fake sh*t,

and I'll be damned if I keep putting my

real emotion into fake sh*t.

I like Eric a lot

and now he's laying

with someone he's

talked to three times.

So, I don't know, it's weird.

I wanna talk to him

more for sure.

Whatever.

[Stephen] I have been tasked

with quite a bit today.

We're setting up not

only Rosé Pong,

but then I have to focus

on tonight's event:

Michelle's 30th birthday.

[Michelle] Oh my gosh,

this is so luxe.

-[laughter]

-[Stephen] Alright everybody,

welcome to Rosé Pong.

Today's gonna be a bit

of a tournament style,

so we're gonna split

into groups of two.

The winners of the

first round will face off

for the bottle of rosé.

The losers get to jump

in the pool fully clothed.

If you lose, you're

gettin' wet. Uh-oh!

-Are you ready to win?

-[Michelle] Yes.

[chill music playing]

[group cheering]

-[guests gasp]

-[guest 1] I love you.

[guest 2] Marciano,

you're drinking this one.

[guest 3]

We're winning!

-Oh, yes!

-[Marciano] Oh, my God.

[sing-songy]

We won, we won ♪

[Stephen] So, we definitely

have two going into

the pool for sure.

[group exclaim]

[people cheering]

[screaming]

[group whooping]

[laughter]

Oh!

[mischievous music playing]

Marciano. I only have

one concern.

[Marciano]

What concern is that?

All of you are soaked and lunch

hasn't even been served yet.

[Marciano] I've known Stephen

for four years,

so I knew who he

was as a person.

Let me go get some fresh waters.

He has a big heart and, like,

he wants to make things happen

for Lisa and for himself. But

Get in!

[loud splash]

I love partying

with the guests.

-Love it.

-♪♪

-[Lisa] Hey, how is it?

-They're having a blast.

-It's my servers I'm concerned about.

-Why?

'Cause I've been serving

and running around

back and forth while

they jump in the pool.

Well then, you've got

to tell them that.

[Stephen] How do I tell

my servers I need you to serve

and not jump in pools?

[Lisa] You just say,

"Hey I need a hand."

[Stephen] [scoffs] And they don't

want to give me a hand

and then I get accused of being bossy.

So then I do it all myself.

-You know how to deal with it, come on.

-I do know how to deal with it,

-but that's why I'm in a sweat.

-Just say, "Get out the pool, get dry."

-Alright. I'll see you in a minute.

-Alright, let me go get

this next event started.

[Lisa] Stephen's always

in his own head

questioning himself.

You seem to be overwhelmed.

Managing the Chateau is

quite a big responsibility.

And he's gotta have his eyes

and his hands everywhere.

Well, not everywhere,

but he's gotta be on the ball

and if he doesn't, I'm not

putting him in charge again.

[upbeat music playing]

[Stephen] Cover it up, take the

white out and replace.

Shirt off, g*ns out.

How are we feeling?

Good. [chuckles]

[Hannah] Nikki, can I

talk to you privately?

-Yeah, of course.

-[Hannah] Thank you.

[Hannah]

The talk with Lisa kind of

made me look at things

a little bit differently

and see, like, "Yeah you

are being a raging b*tch."

I just wanna, like,

come at you like,

come to you about something.

[Nikki] You're like,

"I just wanna come at you."

-No. Not at you.

-What would you like to come at me

-You just almost said that though.

-No, I know.

I'm going back to b*tch mode.

Alright.

Last night I was, like,

a little offended

by what you kind of said

in front of the guests.

Like, "I cried on my first night

and I blamed it on jet lag,

but I really wasn't crying

for that reason,"

'cause I thought you

and I squashed that.

Like, you don't know me.

-[intense music playing]

-You're all brand new to me as well.

So, it's more likely things are coming

from my own experience

more than any of your

effect on my life

-in the past 48 hours.

-Totally get it. I totally get it.

I'm really trying just to,

like, be nice.

I don't wanna keep hashing this out

'cause we have a job to do.

But that's all I wanted

to say. I'm over it.

[Nikki] Of course, yeah.

I apologize for that.

But the first night

it takes two to tango.

I wasn't the only person

involved in that argument.

Are Do you ha

Do you take no responsibility

for the fight that we had?

I mean, I was

the catalyst of the fight,

but I apologize.

-Mm-hmm.

-So I just wanna squash it

-Mm-hmm.

-move on, work together.

-Okay? Okay.

-Yeah, yeah. Okay.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

I'm sorry if I hurt your

feelings. I am.

I think subconsciously

Hannah knows

she's a little bit

of the bad guy

and she has moments where

she wants to rectify herself,

but I'm pretty sure everyone

can see through it.

[both laughing]

[Emily]

[sighs] For [bleep] sake.

[gentle music playing]

[Stephen] Tonight, we

are setting up our first ever

funeral at Chateau Rosabelle.

The staff coming together

in all black.

Marciano in goth uniform:

eyeliner, emo hair.

It's just a vision of my

preteen and teenage years.

-[music intensifies]

-[Hannah] It's an end of an era.

Stepping into a new chapter

of your life.

[Hannah]

I think I would do it

and maybe cleanse my soul,

which I need to do.

[Stephen] It's a lot of pressure,

it's a lot of work

and I'm just physically

exhausted.

I'm gonna have you run the

show tonight. See how you do.

I'll be, like, your back server.

I'll help you, like, clear plates.

Get ready for the next course,

bring out food.

First dinner, Nikki

didn't really do anything.

So, Nikki is gonna be

a "lead" tonight.

I was telling her

she's in charge

so I could see actually

how she works.

Nikki's either gonna

sink or swim.

I would like to just see you

just get it done now.

I'm really intrigued

if Marciano actually

made anybody else immediately

walk in and be the lead.

Luckily, I am up for

the challenge.

[Marciano] Okay, we'll go over it

right now. Let's go outside.

[Stephen] Those were not

supposed to be made yet.

You were supposed to

have it ready to shake

so that you could run back

after the burial,

shake it, make it, garnish,

and then the servers

will take them out

on trays once

they're seated at dinner.

This c*ck was supposed

to be made, tray passed,

and surprising the guests

at their dinner table.

[Telly]

Are you mad?

I'm just [sighs] There's

no communication lately.

I'm not sure where this

lack of communication was,

but if I see a screw up,

I'm gonna call it out.

Like, stop putting everyone's else's

burdens on your shoulder.

Not everybody has

that mindset though.

That's not my mindset.

I'm not gonna change it.

Okay, I'm not gonna go

back and forth with you.

-You're gonna keep complaining

-It's not a matter of getting it.

It's a matter of my ethic

and the way I do things.

-Don't yell. Don't yell.

-But you can yell?

-Just chill.

-[Stephen] It's hard to chill

when everybody's coming

to me for things.

I'm not gonna smile

and fake it either.

[Hannah] Guys, guys, guys, guys.

[tense music playing]

Stephen freaks out when

things aren't being done.

I'm literally watching him

like a freakin' thermometer

getting hotter and hotter

and hotter and hotter.

Chill. Sit on some ice.

-♪♪

-[Stephen] I'm sick.

I am running myself

physically into the ground

and I can't continue to do this.

All I'm thinking is, "You probably don't

deserve this job."

I feel very nauseous.

-[Stephen retches]

-[toilet flushes]

It's all coming up and

I gotta get away.

[Hannah]

Are you okay?

I just threw everything

I've eaten today up.

[Lisa]

[sighs] Where is he?

-I'm, like, shaking

-Here. Just sit.

Like, I'm just physically

sick right now.

[Lisa] What's going on?

[dramatic sting]

[Lisa]

What's going on?

[Stephen]

I was feeling physically sick.

I mean, I think part of it is,

like, the nerves.

One of the things you do is

you put too much

pressure on yourself

to make everything perfect.

[solemn music playing]

Listen to me, it's fine.

Stop. Stop. Okay?

Stephen has this

insecurity about him.

He was fired from a job once

and it's just resonated

so deeply.

It's okay to mess up.

It's okay to be emotional.

I know.

[lighter, upbeat

music playing]

But don't define your life by

one thing, Stephen, come on.

Or else, none of us

would ever get anywhere.

Yeah.

You're supposed to

fail sometimes.

And failure, when that happens,

you learn from it,

and you grow from it.

You know, we all make mistakes,

you know?

Look how many Hannah's made.

-[Stephen laughs]

-♪♪

[Stephen]

Lisa's right.

It's important to not

just show Lisa

that I am deserving of the

position she's bestowed upon me,

but it's important to myself

to prove that I can do anything.

-Hannah?

-[Hannah] Yes?

Thank you, darling,

for taking care of him.

That's the Hannah I want to see.

When Lisa acknowledges

me for helping Stephen,

I really hope that she's

starting to see a change in me.

[Stephen]

Let me get dressed.

[dramatic funeral

music playing]

[Gabriella]

This gothic gala,

we have a bunch of her

belongings from her twenties.

I've had Eric dig out

a hole for her

so she can bury those items.

We're going dark [chuckles]

and I love it.

Thank you for joining us today

in putting Michelle's

twenties in her past.

Michael has a eulogy for us.

Following that, she will put

her belongings into this trunk

to put the twenties to rest.

"We gather here today

to say goodbye

"to Michelle's twenties.

Michelle is ready to

bury the past."

[solemn music playing]

To scantily clad dresses

and going out to the club

middle of the week.

[plucky music playing]

To no more tanning.

We only wear SPF.

[Lisa] I don't quite

understand this event,

but you know, hey,

it's up to them.

If that's what they want,

I'm here to facilitate it.

To no more Top Ramen anymore.

[carton clatters]

Wait, we're doing all

this for Ramen noodles?

Is this for real?

To love notes from exes.

[bleep] them.

[Hannah]

But I think it's awesome.

I need to get rid of a

couple things in my life.

[Hannah] I definitely need to

start making the steps

and surrounding myself

with the best people

that I can learn from.

[Michelle]

Let's celebrate!

[group cheering]

By the burial,

we have a very sexy,

[Anthony]

We got Coq Au Vin tonight.

French traditional dish.

[Nikki]

Welcome everyone.

Michelle's death to

your twenties. A party.

I started off on a

rough foot with everyone.

Aaron, you're gonna

get a full one.

Are you ready for,

like, a full one?

It is tequila and I know

you like tequila.

So, it's important for

me to really prove

I do deserve to be here.

And I earned my spot here.

If it's on the plate,

it's edible.

[laughter]

[Aaron]

That's delicious.

Little bit of champagne?

-[Michelle] Ooh, yes!

-[Michael] Let's do it.

-Thank you Nikki. [chuckles]

-[Nikki] You're welcome. Of course.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Marciano] How are you feeling?

-Good. Stoked.

I think I k*lled it.

How do you think I did?

-You know, I know I did great, so

-[violin music stops]

[upbeat music resumes]

Uh you did good.

[Emily] No, I know. And that's

why I wanted to ask you.

'Cause if the answer was no,

I'm just gonna stop.

[chuckles] Like I'm

Not for nothing

[Eric] Listen, I'll just

tell you straight up.

I like you as a woman

Eric. It's like a weird, like,

cat-mouse game with him,

with every girl in the house.

And he always says a lot

without saying anything

at all. [chuckles]

-Listen, let me just tell you straight up.

-Mm-hmm?

Sometimes I'm-I'm very flirty

and it is what it is.

[mutters] I don't know.

[laughs]

I'm not gonna make a

big deal out of it.

[Emily] With Eric,

it's like, who knows?

So [smacks lips]

we'll see.

[thrilling music playing]

Holy ba*ls, don't

drop this, Marciano.

[guests exclaiming]

Oh my gosh, thank you!

-Wow!

-[music softens]

Are you and Gabriella

gonna have sex tonight?

Excuse me?

-[plucky music playing]

What's up, Chef?

I asked if you and Gabriella

are gonna have sex tonight.

Okay, I'm leaving.

[Telly laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

[guest]

How is it going?

[Stephen] It's going alright.

How are you?

-[guest] Good. Are you tired?

-Good. I'm so tired.

This has been a very

eye-opening experience for me

to finally be given

the opportunity

to showcase that

I can manage,

and I think that this was

a successful, uh, few days.

-[guest] You deserve some rest, babe.

-Thank you, dear.

I just hope that

I made Lisa proud.

-There you go. Shake that sh*t.

-[ice rattles]

[guest chattering]

Cheers to Michelle!

To wrap up Michelle's funeral

for her twenties,

I don't think the fun

it's really important

I go above and beyond,

[excited chatter, shouting]

[intense music playing]

[Caroline]

Have some respect, Nikki.

First you started the drama

with Hannah and Marciano,

then you cuddling with Eric

and now you're kissing

with a guest.

That's crossing the line.

I can tell she really

want the attention.

[Marciano] Holy sh*t!

♪♪

So, kissing a guest

makes you proud?

Nikki doesn't know

what she has done.

She is representing

Lisa Vanderpump,

and I don't think

it's professional.

You coming from fine dining,

and you kiss a guest

taking a shot?

I don't think it's right.

So don't play this game.

You act like a sweet and

then you act like a victim.

What is this?

-I'm asking you a question.

-I'm not the victim.

-I'm asking you a question.

-I took a shot out of this guy's mouth.

Why does it bother you?

It has nothing to [bleep] do with you.

Literally get the [bleep]

over yourself.

[dramatic crescendo]

The energy is just coming

from that she doesn't like me

and that's okay, but

it's just immature.

As a grown woman, I would

expect more from her.

This is not part of what I would do or

want my staff to do.

[Andre] He was trying to get

with her the whole night,

the-the day before that too.

This is all about Eric.

Caroline is definitely

jealous of Nikki.

We the one that volunteered

her to take the shot.

[Caroline] Okay, then cool,

then I'm stupid.

-I'm stupid. I'm stupid. I'm stupid.

-No, you're not stupid.

[Nikki]

Yeah, you are stupid.

You're completely stupid and

you're making a fool of yourself.

I'm sorry, we come

from a different perspective

and a different world,

but this is not how it

works in my world.

I can't take this anymore.

Next, on Vanderpump Villa

[Marciano] We're here to fulfill

Telly's not feeling that well.

I genuinely think I would

Telly, can I have

a word with you?

Emily is going to regret

trying to steal my job.

We have some sad news.

The donkey had his

nuts chopped off.

-So show some kindness.

He was a frisky boy, though.

Sometimes that's the

best thing you can do.

Chop the nuts off.
