What happened on the last episode of RHOBH
In the last episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle once again dragged everyone to the desert.
As everyone sits down to eat lasagna – that Kyle has almost definitely lost an earring in – they begin to catch up on current events.
For instance, the same day that they’re all arriving at Kyle’s desert home, the government froze all of Tom Girardi’s assets.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Dorit repeatedly attempted to empathise with what Erika is going through, since she also had her bank accounts frozen when PK owed creditors a large debt.
Throughout the episode, Erika seems to misunderstand what “people” are saying about her, and what “everyone” is attempting to figure out in regard to Tom.
But by the time the lasagna rolls around, Erika is ready to share a few more personal details about Tom’s mental state over the last few years.

Apparently, on the last episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the cast ate a pancake cake – and the internet loved it!
In one subreddit, fans of the show began discussing what it was about the pancake cake that made it special, with many wondering about its recipe.
One user said: “It’s crepes layered! Lots of bakeries do them. Look at la rose in the PNW! They do a rainbow one.”
To which another user replied: “I didn’t see any layers in that cake. It looks like one soft, billowy cake to me.”
