Sarah rings in her birthday the best way she knows how - by watching, and then deep diving, the Potomac finale ep. She puts down a thimble of Prosecco and picks up a mic instead, and discusses Candiace's self-imposed pause from the RHOP, questions about Ashley's RSVP list, Mia and Gordon's nuanced, honest, and genuinely shocking pick-up scene following their split, which included conversation around money/power in their relationship, fidelity, Mia's "soulmate," and questions around that...

Sarah wakes up feeling particularly zesty, and puts out a bat call from the cloffice, to record an extra sassy ep.

It's a rainy day in NYC, and those are tears from God about John Janssen's latest attack against Shan.

As Denise said, quoted by Sutton, "watch the show" - so Sarah did. After seeing Part 2 of the RHOBH Reunion Odyssey, Sarah mentions it all: Kyle's selective ignorance/active denial around insinuations about Sutton's drinking and an allegation of an ED, Garcelle's decision to pursue reality TV in order to stabilize her life as a parent, Crystal's counter on Tom's medical diagnosis/capability to stand trial, and whether or not Kyle should put herself on pause. Kyle may be in the hot seat, but...

Sarah's leaving on a jet plane, and no it's not Sutton's PJ. But it should be!
