Previously on the Real Housewives of New York City...
So, I want to tell you guys something.
-My grandma passed this week. -Oh, Jesus.
-Oh, no. -Oh, no.
You guys should get your tattoos.
I don't even really know what I want.
What a weird coincidence that Eboni and I
lost our grandmothers two weeks apart from each other.
-You did such a great job. -I think us getting these
tattoos together, it's just really meaningful and special.
I don't have to drink, I don't drink when I don't want to.
Her constantly saying that she doesn't
have an alcohol problem, I just can't.
[cackling]
No, I'm okay. I'm not drinking alcohol.
I don't usually drink wine, as you know.
I like white, clear spirits.
Let me tell you, this group is a little bit boring.
This is not the way that you get to know the ladies.
All you're gonna do is talk about yourself.
All you're gonna do is act like a ----ing stupid ass clown?
Don't talk to her like that, really, don't.
I've had enough of B-erghh-shan.
You have harmed yourself already, man. Use your brain!
I'm not a door mat,
and I will tell you, I will kill Ramona.
Bringing this girl into our group?
Leah, you're a smart bitch.
Why would Ramona bring this girl into our group?
She's like a psycho.
It doesn't do anyone any good to push her buttons.
You've gotta put a hold on her.
Why don't we leave Ramona to figure out her friend?
-That's what I think. -At this point,
it's Ramona's job to reel in this woman,
because she's obviously not clicking with the group,
and it's up to Ramona to figure out what to do with her now.
Let her figure out her friend. Let her reel her in.
She's just... she's broken, man, and we're nervous about her.
We don't want her to go off the edge.
You're pushing her off the edge.
Goodnight, I'm gonna free-bleed in my room.
I just feel like you guys baby her.
-Well, maybe we are. -I really feel like--
You know what, Bershan, she's not strong like you and me.
She's not, and I'm telling you please recognize that.
I'm telling you as a woman
who I know is a warrior who supports women, I know--
I support women, but it's like, oh my God,
we gotta accept her [squawking].
-You guys wanna go to my room? -Yeah, I do.
That sh--, I've never met someone like that.
Well, I'm not disagreeing with you,
-but this is-- -She's crazy.
This is my BF from, like, 30 years.
And I'm not gonna say, "I can't be with you
'cause you're having a breakdown."
Bershan is an intelligent woman and she does have a point.
As an outsider looking in, she says, "Why are you handling her
with kid gloves? This is not helping her."
I agree. But you know what? She's our friend
for a long time, let us figure it out.
-It's not your job to do it. -I'll see you in the morning.
I haven't had any time with you, I'll stay one second.
-Yeah, let her stay one second. -Goodbye.
You threw a firebomb tonight, I'm trying to tell you.
I think a firebomb was needed.
Well, you know what, Ramona brought her,
Ramona can take care of her. I'm done.
That's-- I gave her all the Black points,
extra credit points I could, to be honest with you.
I wanted to not put her in the situation,
because I learned with this group, you need to listen,
-mother----er and learn. -You're right.
I am going off of my own experience with these women.
I am still very much navigating what it is
to be a part of this circle of friends.
And again, it's a tough group to crack. Ask us questions.
Get to know us, like you would, I don't know,
on the first day of 2nd Grade. Goodnight, sweetheart.
-Alright. Sleep well. -You too, baby. Bye-bye.
I think you guys needed a fresh pair of eyes,
and maybe I'm just a fresh pair of eyes,
and I tell it like it is. Maybe, that's it.
No, you're calling it like you saw it.
That's all. I called it like I saw it.
-Alright, girl. -See you manana.
Let's get some rest, we got a big day again tomorrow.
[crickets]

[snoring]
I didn't bring weights! I'm gonna improvise. Alright.

[phone ringing]
So, I'm not sure if you've heard,
but Sonja and Bershan got into, like,
a physical altercation last night.
You know Bershan was, it's--
No, because Bershan came down to get a melatonin from me.
-They were both drunk. -I'm not kept in a box.
You can't tell me I can't speak--
-I can't even talk to her. -No!
I tried to ask her about her label-- What did you just say?
-I love you. -Did you say drunk?
-No, stop it-- -No, what did you just say?
-Sonja, stop it. -This girl's off the rails.
-Stop it. No. -I don't even know you,
you don't need to talk about me. You don't even know me.
You know, Sonja's like, "I'm a real person."
I am ----ing real. Don't you come into my life
in ten seconds and tell me who I am, Bershan!
Get your hand out, get your ----ing hand off my face.
[yelling over each other]
I had to get in the middle of it.
-Stop it! -Please, please, please
I have my nose job. Please be careful. Stop!
I was worried that they were going to ----ing hit my nose.
Stop! Stop!
[yelling over each other]
-Stop it! -Don't you come in!
Until finally someone came to help me,
and then Sonja broke the entire fire extinguisher glass.
[glass shattering]
She's taking this sh-- too far.
Bershan said something about Sonja, like, being drunk,
and I said "don't say that. She's intoxicated right now."
She'd just met her, it's like too soon to like...
Bershan, you are amazing! Bershan, you are beautiful.
You support, you inspire, you empower. Yes!
Okay, alright. Bye.
It's hot here.
[knocking on door]
Come in! Is the door open? Okay.
-Yeah, door's open. Hi, honey.
-Dude. -Dude.
So, Bershan set her off.
-Bershan was taunting her. -Right.
Well, Bershan clearly doesn't know her,
because that's not the time to talk to Sonja about anything.
I wonder if she's gonna act like nothing happened today?
She's not gonna remember what happened.
-[knocking on door] -I don't care how wasted
you are, there is no excuse for that kind of behavior.
I'm worried about her and I want her to get better.
-Hey, you. -Hi, oh look, everyone's ready.
-I have to get ready. -Hey, how are you?
-Okay. -Come, sit down.
I don't know if you're aware, last night
there was a physical altercation between Sonja and Bershan.
Sonja broke the glass fire extinguisher thing with a bag.
She did damage to the property at the hotel...
-Did she hurt herself? -I don't think so.
-She used her bag. -So, Sonja lost it?
Bershan was really antagonizing her.
I said to Sonja, I said to Bershan last night,
you know, "Please don't aggravate Sonja."
Why would you pick a fight with her?
-Why? -You started this.
Because I invited her on the trip? Leah invited her.
No, not only that. You started explaining,
"Oh, we're so much fun, we're this, we're that
and the other thing," and you gave her
like, this impression of us, like we're crazy.
That we're dancing on the chandeliers.
...thought we were hanging from--
-I'll take the blame for that. -No, seriously,
and then you gave her all these expectations,
and now we have to fulfill her expectations?
I mean, no, you've got to.
-This is your problem. -Okay! Don't, hey, hey!
Don't point your fingers at me.
You started this sh--.
-You started it, you fix it. -Hey!
-You fix the problem. -Ramona's not gonna fix stuff!
No seriously, she has to fix it. Otherwise, she goes.
-No, I'll go talk with her. -Alright. Good.
I'm gonna go and get dressed. You have to tell her now
how she has to approach all of us, right?
To start this day off on a good foot.
-Alright. -See you later.
-Bye. -Bye.
I don't know, she's pretty calm with me.
I have these nice talks with her.
Knowing Bershan the way I did, one on one,
I am totally shocked the way she is acting.
I don't know who she is right now.
I wonder if we should get Sonja on that medicine.
It makes you sick. You vomit if you drink.
Yeah, Antabuse. I said to Sonja yesterday,
do you feel like you need a soft drink?
Ever feel like you have a problem with alcohol?
And she's like, "No, I don't drink the morning."
-She does, though. -She's making all these excuses
-that they say-- -She drinks all the time.
How do you make someone see?
They're not ready till they're ready.
Unless we have an actual intervention with her,
I don't know, I don't know.
Like, we're being irresponsible
if we don't... talk to her about this.
-So, maybe it should be-- -Like, she broke sh--.
Maybe you, me, Lu should talk to her.
Now, I wish Luann was here hearing this.
Should we, let's call her on the phone.
-Yeah. -[phone rings]
-Uh... -Well, actually,
we made a little breakthrough ourselves, Lu.
Sonja needs to kind of, like, we really need
to talk to her about her drinking.
No, me, you and Ramona have to sit down with her
and break through the denial.
I would want people to step in and talk to me
if I was punching glass.
It's not like she's getting drunk and having fun.
And of course, Bershan didn't help,
but this isn't just an isolated incident.
Alright, see you in a bit.
♪
-Coming up... -We want to show you something.
What do you want, what do you want?
Oh my God, I am so nervous right now.
♪
-Hi, darling. -Good morning!
Good morning! Come in.
You look fabulous, come in.
Are you done getting ready, or not?
I'm done. You want me to come to your room?
Yeah, only because I went down to speak to
Leah and Luann and I didn't get a chance
to eat my berries or oatmeal, so do you mind?
Okay yeah, let's do it. Yeah.
-Oh, God. -My key is probably not working.
I feel like I'm going with my, my book bag
to the principal's office about to get in trouble.
-So, tell me what happened. -So, okay, let me
tell you who I am. I'm a girls' girl.
Just what happened between with you and Sonja.
She was being Sonja, a little drunk,
a little aggressive. I don't know what she was saying.
I am going to interject for one second.
You and I did discuss downstairs,
where you were aggravating her and I said, "Please, stop, stop.
You're pushing her envelope." And you kinda said,
"Well, why are you being so protective of her?"
"We just are." So, I remember I did tell you that.
You did tell me that. The thing that escalated it
is she got in my face like this.
-Right. -And I gotta tell you,
I would never get in someone's face like that.
In Black culture, if you get in somebody's face
like that, you get hit.
Daddy always said, "If you get in someone's face,
someone's gonna get in your face,
and it ain't gonna be pretty." She took it too far.
She needs to understand if she does that--
No, she can get arrested by doing that kind of behavior.
I mean, I would never do that to someone.
Girl, you do that with the wrong person, you are knocked out.
Sonja loves to say "It's okay to get sh--faced with my friends,
I'm in a comfortable, warm place, it's just us
and the girls." Well yeah, I could agree with that,
but not when you act the way you act; she acts irresponsibly,
and she could hurt somebody and hurt herself.
I do want to apologize to the girls,
because you know, I'm a very open book.
And like, I'm a little unfiltered like you are.
So, when I was saying grandmas, I wasn't meaning age at all.
I know what you're saying. I get about your expression.
Yeah, so that, you know, but what I realize
is coming with a new group of girls,
everyone doesn't express things the same way.
-Right. -Like, we hit it off so well
-in the summer, it was like-- -Easy breezy.
Easy breezy, girl. I mean, anything you say you got.
-Yeah. -And you know what, I guess
I let my boundaries down in thinking, oh, okay,
they're an extension of Ramona. But really,
everybody's a different person. I'm a coach, I know that.
-I'm glad you recognize that. -Yeah. Oh, for sure.
In your own way, just say, "Hey, you know,
it wasn't my intention," like you just said.
Totally. I was gonna do that anyway. Totally.
Let's go. Let me stop by with Sonja.
I'll meet you in the lobby because we're all
-gonna be going out shortly. -Okay.
And, uh... yeah.
Hi. So, I need to fill you in.
Last night, after you and Luann left the room,
Bershan came down to my room when Sonja was here,
and they were in each others' faces
with their fingers, I had to get between them.
Finally, someone came to help me and...
dragged Sonja out of the room.
And then she broke the fire extinguisher, the glass.
-Shattered it. -[sighing]
I'm shocked. I'm shocked.
I don't know Bershan or Sonja that well, but fight?
Come on. We're classy ladies.
I'm not even thinking about Bershan anymore right now.
Like me, Luann and Ramona
are gonna talk to Sonja about her drinking.
She was lit, I mean she was lit, but, okay.
Yeah, just so you know.
[knocking]
Calm down.
Hey, honey pie!
Come in. You're all ready?
Yeah, I'm all ready for the day.
You look like you just woke up.
I just woke up, and you know how Luann
-always says I wake up so fresh? -Yeah, you look good.
This isn't one of those days! I have a taste for luxury,
I don't have a taste for cheap red wine.
But if that's all they're serving and Bershan
is serving up the insults, that's what I will drink.
What a loser night. I wanted to have a fun night
and party and dance, and we ended up with cheap wine.
-[thudding] -And Bershan.
Alright, let me finish getting ready.
After we shop, we'll come back, and then later,
we're going to a haunted restaurant to have the seance.
We're gonna have cocktails first,
then the séance, then dinner.
I don't know, I'm feeling like she's not...
I don't want to think about it.
I think you need a good pharmaceutical psychiatrist.
I do have one. I've been working with one--
-Oh, hello. -Hi, guys.
-Good morning. -Good morning!
I left my wallet, I'm gonna go upstairs.
-Alright, we're going down. -Okay, baby.
[sighs] It's hard for me to wake up today.
[door ringing]
-No, it's going up. -Oh, that's me?
-Oh, that's you. -I'll be right back.
-We'll see you in the lobby. -I'm just going to be myself
and enjoy myself with my friends.
-Great ----ing trip. -[laughing]
I am not going to attempt to understand where Bershan
is coming from, because she doesn't know
where she is coming from, or she would have apologized.
-Good morning, ladies. -It's 40 minutes away, guys.
-What? -So, let's go.
And you know I love going distances.
This van ride is going to be like purgatory.

-Filet Mignon. -Short ribs.
I feel like meat. They have a cow burger!
Oh, it's called the Black Cow. They've gotta have a burger.
So, before we begin, can I just say something
to the group, because I'm a little emotional?
I do want to apologize.
You know, I made this familiar
-when it wasn't familiar. -Oh, don't cry, hun.
-No, don't cry. -You acted familiar
with women you weren't quite yet familiar with.
With people that I wasn't familiar with.
You know, I didn't have boundaries,
I talked like I've known you guys for 30 years, and I don't.
You know, 'cause my friends, we say it all the time,
"Stop being a grandma, girl, get up, come on, let's go."
-Right. -Like, that's something we say
as fun, "Stop being so boring."
I know, but somehow it felt like you were
pointing more of a finger at like,
"You're being a grandmother, you're being--"
No, I wasn't pointing at anybody.
When you spoke the way you did and you spoke to Sonja
in a certain way, you know, she's my girl.
So, you can't talk to my friends like that
and not expect to have repercussions.
I was addressing the whole table.
I do think she thought the group was boring her,
and then y'all were called grandma 'cause you were
right in front of her. -You guys were just in front
of me, So that, I'm sorry to you Eboni, Luann,
Ramona, Leah, and especially you, Sonja.
And with you, Sonja, I may not remember everything,
-I'm just being honest. -Do either of you remember?
-'Cause I remember it! -So she remembers.
On the bus, I mean, I had a real connection with you.
You move like a Black girl! Ahhh!
Who taught you how to do that?
I can't tell you all my secrets.
Aah!
You have betrayed my trust
because we did have a connection on the bus.
You listened to me, you heard me.
I'm trying to sell it because it's just too expensive.
Was this your marital house?
Yeah, I bought it and my husband renovated it.
What are you talking about?
Ramona, do what you're doing, we're talking.
I have somebody who's actually listening to me.
And then even at the Pioneer Village,
we spent time alone hearing each other and discussing--
Shut the [bleep] up, Ramona. Did I speak this whole time?
♪
There's a lot of anger in Sonja, and she's being passive
aggressive toward me. She's snapping at me
like a turtle, and it's not turtle time.
We spent time hearing each other, and I thought we shared
in a like-mannered way, our feelings.
And I just thought, "Wow, this chick is smart, she gets me.
She's getting to know me." So then, when I saw you
at dinner, I had said to everyone,
"I just want to have fun tonight with my girls."
This is my sacred group here.
So for me, to share this with you, it's a lot.
And you threw it back on me, about the words,
and you also made fun of me of being a clown and like this.
I take pride in being funny. That really didn't hurt me.
It's the way you mimicked me that hurt me.
I take full responsibility, because I'm a grown woman.
I never want to put women down and I don't wanna put you down.
So, I'm apologizing on that note.
I take responsibility.
She was drunk, I wasn't.
I had a little bit of drinks, but I wasn't as drunk.
And I need to be the bigger person.
I just want to hug you, girl.
You just need a hug is what somebody said to me.
I need a hug.
I'm the first to forgive and forget.
I don't like it when people hold in angst.
I find it unhealthy. I'm happy she's apologizing,
and I hope we can go forward in a better way.
Let me just tell you, I love you, but you got in my face
-and I've never-- -Oh yeah, I will.
-But, look, I'm like, girl-- -You were ready to deck me.
And you're so much bigger and stronger than me,
but I was gonna like, slack you.

At least you know I care enough to throw down.
You were gonna put me down on the mat. But I would go down.
I know, but don't do that to anybody else.
Please, don't do it, girl.
Bershan broke down her walls and said that,
you know, she did overstep her boundaries.
She is re-evaluating the way she acted and behaved,
which takes a huge amount of maturity and self awareness,
which was very impressive. This could be good.
It's reached a point and maybe we can turn this all around.

and ----ed of us to not say
we think the drinking is going to hurt you.
-Okay, alright. -And we are worried.
-And we want to help. -Okay.
-So, what happened last night-- -No, no, no.
Because I got arrested for something even less than that.
-I was only drunk in my-- -Guys!
What she just said, I heard. Let me just answer that.
I own that when I get with the girls, in a large group,
-I like to party. -We're scared for you.
But I also tell you the sincere truth,
at home, I don't have alcohol in my home.
I have it-- I mean, there are people that come
and I offer them a drink. I never drink alone.
-I think you're in denial. -I don't drink alone.
I don't drink at home. I don't drink on dates.
I don't go out and socialize like that, I just don't.
Sonja only gets drunk with us.
Okay, yeah, like, um, sure.
Sure, I believe that one.
Just because you're not drinking now doesn't mean
you weren't drinking before and falling down
-stairs and bushes. -Of course, I was.
So, now we're talking about--
But we're not talking about me right now,
we're talking about how we're concerned, that's all.
You just get very angry, that's what we don't understand.
I at least want you to frigging enjoy yourself.
I tried to enjoy myself last night,
and Bershan wanted to go there with her tough girl image.
I just wanted to show her I'm not a ----ing doormat.
Your reactions are just like over the top,
and that's what concerns us, is this, like--
Don't feel like you can't reach out, you can't say something.
Don't feel ashamed, don't-- I just want you know
that there's an open channel of communication and--
I have open channels with professionals
I speak to all the time.
I think Sonja is going through a lot.
-I do telemedicine. -It's heavy for her right now.
She has to-- she's trying to speak her voice.
Yeah, she's trying to find her voice.
She's trying to find her voice and speak her voice.
Okay, we just love you. It's coming from love.
-Alright, fine. I'm good. -No, be serious.
-I'm good. -Okay.

We tried.
I just don't want anything to happen to you.
Everybody has to get to the point
where they have a wake up call.
I just don't want her to wake up in a gutter somewhere.
I'm in a safe place with you guys,
which doesn't feel very safe right now
because you're being very judgmental-- You're not.
We're not being judgmental, don't say that.
You got into a physical fight last night.
I'll ----ing do it again with her--
You cut glass. You could have slit your wrist.
Let's go and have a seance.
I said to Bershan, I'll do it again.
These two are just becoming a broken record,
and I can see they've hooked Leah into it.
We're on a vacation. Chill out. I think we'll be okay, guys.
I'm not gonna explain myself any more.
♪
-Hi, how are you? -How are you guys?
I have lots of crystals in my bag.
So I'm gonna light some incense
for us to raise the vibration in the room.
We're gonna let any negativity from the day slip away
Marion, if you'd like to begin.
Okay, so I'm gonna ask you please to take a deep breath in.
Divine spirit, teachers, loved ones,
those who have crossed over before us, come through
and bring forth those who have passed away.
-And we thank you, Amen. -Amen.
Now, we're gonna go around the circle
and we're gonna put our first names into the--
-[loud thudding] -[screaming]
What the [bleep] was that?
Seriously, did you drop, did you drop something?
The light came off the ceiling.
No, I saw that during the meditation.
Okay, that does happen, Jesus.
What do you mean, "that happens?"
Yeah, what do you mean that happens?
[sobs] I'm scared.
You guys are safe, it's protected.
Are you sure, because I am, like, so scared?
I'm positive. There's not going to be any levitating...
Okay, so we are starting the messages now.
Alright. Um, may I please come to you?
-Yeah. -I'm getting a grandfather.
What he's showing me is, have you ever seen
those mountain goats and they're standing on ledges.
It's like, you wonder, "How the hell
did they climb up that high?" But somehow, they did.
Right now, people just fear you as, like, a regular goat,
but eventually you're gonna show them,
it's time for you to come out of your shell
and show them what you've actually got.
Forget Bershan being a goat and coming out of her shell.
She needs to be a turtle and pull it in.
May I come to you with a message?
-Sure. -Okay, so I feel
like there is an uncle-type figure.
Do you have an uncle figure?
Doesn't necessarily have to be a biological uncle.
Um, not specifically, no.
So, anyway, let me give you the message.
Somebody forgot to eat their Wheaties this morning,
-because he's way off. -Feels like there's a male
in your life, who is kind of, um, moody, I guess.
And it feels like eventually you guys will go your own ways.
For you it's more positive. It's more of a lost friend.
-We know that. -[all laughing]
Hi Leah, can I come to you, please?
I'm bringing forth-- I feel like I've got a woman here.
She's a relative.
I'm having a little bit of trouble pulling her through.
So, that tells me that maybe she wasn't overly spiritual.
She was, yes, okay.
I just feel that she wouldn't have believed
in what we're doing here, particularly.
-Correct. -Right?
So, there is a little bit of a resistance there.
Right. I am pleasantly surprised.
I feel like this is probably my grandmother,
but I don't know if she'd really approve of me doing a seance.
And I am also kind of skeptical about these things.
So between me and my grandmother,
like, it's probably not easy to channel her.
I also feel with you that there is some,
uh, learning something or reading.
Looks like you're studying for something?
Converting to something like Judaism or something?
And I think you're going to like that, the Judaism, as well,
because I think it's going to give you structure.
Yes!
That's crazy.
Alright, Eboni, so I'm drawn over to you.
-Mm. -I feel like I have a woman
standing behind you, and this is an older woman.
I think she's your grandmother, actually,
but she's only been gone a little bit of time?
-Mm. -Okay, so-- I'm sorry?
-A few days. -Okay, so I like this lady
because she's got a little bit of attitude.
[all laughing]
Uh, this lady is very proud of you.
I feel that you were very close to her.
She was like a second mother to you.
-Oh, my God. -Um, what she is saying
is that you can carry on the family tradition
by being a strong person, which you are.
I feel like you have a message, particularly for women,
and it's a strong message, and you've got to keep
going forward. There you go.
-I'm so sorry I made you cry. -No, no.
Yes.
Ah, this is such a relief, you know?
My grandmother had a really tough time the last few years.
She was a really smart and powerful woman,
and to know that she is well and she no longer has dementia,
and she's right beside me, in my corner, it's such a gift.
And I am just so grateful. I really am.
Sonja, can I come to you, please?
-Yes. -Okay.
-I have a man here with you. -Okay.
A family member, but is this your father, who passed?
-I can't believe it. -It just feels like
there's some unfinished business here.
-Yeah, exactly! -Okay, so first of all,
-he wants to apologize to you. -Oh, my God!
There's some very tough stuff here.
He wants you to know
that he didn't know what he was doing.
-No, he didn't. -He didn't know.
Did he have a drink or a problem or something like that?
♪
-Is this your father, passed? -I can't believe it.
There's some very tough stuff here.
Did he have a drink or a problem
or something like that, do you know?
Yes.
I had no idea about Sonja's father.
And it's because Sonja never talks about her past.
My father had a drinking problem,
and you know, I can relate a lot more to Sonja
knowing that that could be part of the problem.
It's part of her, in her genes.
The message from your father
is that he is mortified by what he did.
-Thank you. -But he wants you to know
that he's not trying to excuse it.
Okay, good.
He's trying to apologize to you.
I didn't know anything about her dad.
She never really spoke about that.
This is really emotional. This is really, really deep.
Sonja's younger life was a lot like mine: very traumatized.
We don't really share that with anyone,
because who wants to talk about the trauma?
Did he leave when you were young?
-Yes. I was two years old. -And you have
-abandonment issues and-- -Yes.
And it's affected your relationships with men.
-Yes! -The last person
I thought would show up for this seance
is my dad because in real life,
he was always to busy to be a dad.
Now, he's here, you know, it's just--
it's very hard when you're a kid,
uh, with one parent.
You know, a mom with four kids, working very hard,
and not really knowing that you have a dad to reach out to.
The root of your issues lies in that stuff,
and I don't know if you've dealt with it.
I met with a healer recently and started to--
Not the healer, but the healer is great as an addition.
-Okay. -But there is a feeling
of needing some therapy or counseling--
I just started with a therapist,
but we're not really talking about my dad yet.
Well, you will, and that's the root cause of everything.
I hope this psychologist has got a PhD,
because you need somebody who's got a little bit more.
It's not uncommon, my story.
But personally, it definitely puts a dent in your heart
that you don't have that male figure to lean on.
Ramona, let me see if I can tune into you.
Um, this is a man coming through.
-Yeah, who? -Slightly younger than you?
Okay.
Don't tell me anything, don't give me any clues, please.
This is like a cousin or brother or something.
Because of the depth of emotion,
it feels like it might be a brother.
♪
He's a little bit younger than you, correct?
-Fourteen months. -Okay.
But I feel like he had a lot of issues in his life.
Mm hm, he's a lost soul.
I think that's a good expression,
because he had a lot of problems.
And I feel that he's, it doesn't feel like a suicide,
-but it feels like a-- -He was self-destructive.
Yeah, that kind of thing.
Yeah, he lived his life that way.
So, it's that kind of expression,
that kind of feeling I have from him.
He's okay. He needs a little--
how recent is this, like a week or so?
-No, it's two years. -Two years?
-He's still very-- -He's lost, he's lost.
He's extremely lost, but he was lost in life as well.
-He was lost in life. -Just very confused.
He's okay with the fact that he's gone.
He's sorry for hurting you.
Because he was always lost in life and he always, like,
lived life to the edge.
He actually almost died 10,000 times before he actually died.
You see, I think he wanted to die.
Yes, he wanted to die! He was in a lot of pain.
He just wanted to die. He's in a lot of emotional pain.
He just wants you to know he does love you.
And he knows you tried to help him.
I tried to save him. I was so disappointed in him.
I couldn't deal with him anymore, because it pained me
that he was in so much pain and I couldn't help him.
I couldn't change him, I couldn't fix him,
so I abandoned him. I just had to push him away.
-I pushed him away. -I know you did, but it's okay.
-You're blaming yourself. -I pushed him away.
It's not your fault.
I knew there was this unfinished business,
I'm glad you picked up on it, Marion.
You see you're blaming yourself and you can't walk around
with this, because it's too big a burden.
I was a caregiver of all of my three siblings,
and my brother was a troubled soul.
And I felt very responsible for him.
At the end, my relationship with my brother was tough
because he was too far gone to help.
The fact that he came back to me,
and maybe, I feel now I have some resolution.
Try to let it go because there's nothing you could have done.
Okay, does anybody have any questions?
Not me.
It takes a long time to know someone,
and obviously, these are new friends of mine.
There's a lot of things about them I don't know
and I'm sure a lot of people don't know.
-Oh my God, that was intense. -That was crazy.
[talking over each other]
So, when I find out things like Sonja's father
had a drinking problem, and Ramona's brother died,
it gives me more understanding of who they are as people.
Come on, are we gonna have some fun tonight?
-Yeah! -Let's start a fire.
I know what I'm doing. Hold on a second.
-Alright, go start the fire. -Okay. Wait.
Leah, why is your dress on backwards?
You know it's on backwards, right?
Oh my God, it's on backwards!

Oh my God, she hasn't slept in two days.
You're great at that!
You knew it was on backwards?
No, I don't know, and I put on like this!
I just didn't even realize. It looks good backwards.
