The ladies are all a bit hungover the next morning. The awake to discover that Caprice left the lodge and went back to London with Julie and Annabelle. Juliet is bashing Caprice and Marissa says that perhaps Caprice is hormonal. She’s in her last trimester and she’s probably just getting irritable. Our national treasure, Juliet jumps all over Marissa as if she had just campaigned for Caprice to be prom queen over Juliet. Clearly, Juliet has issues with Caprice and won’t rest until everyone else despises her as well. Caroline suggest that they all go out for a bit of hair of the dog.
Annabelle’s first scene of the episode is with a horse named Mr. Fickle who she is riding in her much ballyhooed charity race. His ankles are wrapped in purple bandages and Annabelle immediately explains to the trainer that purple is a McQueen color. Dear lord, this woman is obsessed with a dead man. Anabelle is a great rider.
The Ladies left behind head out for a champagne brunch to help with their hangovers. Luke, Carolines make-up artist/driver joins them. He asks why Caprice left and Juliet says, “She’s pregnant, she’s probably just tired.” Um WTF? Didn’t Juliet just ream Marissa a new asshole for saying that? After a champagne toast, Marissa leaves in tears. I hope you are happy now, Juliet! While Marissa is outside in tears, Juliet talks about how Marissa is so sweet and perfect to Caroline. Marissa came back to the table and then Juliet leaves the table crying. If Juliet’s behavior was not bad enough, she just said, “at the end of the day.”
When they get back, Noelle finally gets to move in with her married dreamboat, Scot.
I’m bored. Can we go back to the Earl of Sandwich’s house again?
Marissa is getting her British citizenship! Marissa’s perfect husband gave her gorgeous Faberge earrings to mark the occasion
Caroline talks to Juliet about her public behavior. Pretty much everyone has to rehash the incident with Marissa and Juliet at brunch ten times. It’s an all in event for the ladies at Noelle’s charity event. She is raising money for an AIDS charity. It’s actually and interesting cause raising money for a vaccine for pregnant women with AIDS that inoculates the baby. I had no idea such a thing existed!
The party is all very posh. Noelle is desperate to impress Caprice. Juliet calls Marissa by phone to meet her outside of the party. They make up in two seconds.
Caroline want Noelle to choose between her and Caprice. Marissa wants Noelle to help her with a baby shower for Caprice. This will not go over well with Caroline who she is out shopping with. Noelle was apparently unaware of the whole baby shower incident between Caroline and Caprice. How is that even possible? Juliet lays all over the furniture at the fancy designer boutique and takes a couple more swipes at Marissa by saying that Marissa wants attention from Caprice and that is why she offered to throw her a party. Actually Caprice asked Marissa to throw her a shower.
Mr. Fickle is a huge horse! If she falls off that horse racing at 40 mph she could really injure her self. Oh Shit! She fell off during practice while the horse was sprinting. It was so bad they didn’t even show it on the show. She says she was going 45 mph. She broke her pelvis. Wow.
Next week: Caroline has a dinner party! And the drama between Caroline and Caprice reaches a boiling point.
I really like CAroline. What you see is what you get and she’s not a whiner like some of the other ladies.
I like her, too, and what a dear, loyal friend and social mentor that Caroline appears to be to Juliet. I sense that Caroline may see beyond Juliet’s brash manner, and that she insightfully and far more compassionately notes that Juliet’s behavior may more likely be linked to her difficulty with assimilation, a degree of intimidation related to Bristish social class, and good old-fashioned homesickness for the USA, where it’s probably much easier for her..
I grew up with girls like Juliet in Chicago; wears her heart on BOTH her sleeves, well-meaning, loyal to a fault (she may duke it out with dudes to cover her pal’s back), a bit loud, emotional, and as we affectionately teased them in our circle for being “Jesus Christ Jyack!” guy’s girls. An older, more mature example is Jennifer McCarthy, also a former Chicago girl, who exudes a similar, but raw-er qualities and vibe.
Caroline obviously notes Juliet’s struggle, and also sees and appreciates Juliet’s finer qualities… and she makes an exceptionally fine representative of the UK and of Britons in general. Bless her for both. Friends and allies like her are increasingly rare.
Sad to say I did not much care for Annabelle, though since her injury, and seeing her frail, in seeming agony and in such a fragile state, I will reassess my POV over the coming weeks. Plus , I do not believe that things happen without reasons. I have noted that incidences like this often preface, or are a catalyst to drastic positive change. Perhaps Annabelle will become far more positive, maybe take a new lease on life drastic and positive enough to change its arc, rather than stuck when she is and continue to remain fixed on her loss, and mournful about her dear, departed friend, Alexander McQueen.
I made a joke on twitter about Annabelle’s fall. She retweeted me and I felt a little bad. I had no idea it was going to be serious. Usually bravo shows’ hype leads to nothing. I apologized. I’m sure she couldn’t care less.
I really dislike noelle. She’s extremely shallow. And caprice is such a whiney thing. You’d think no one else ever had a baby.
Which leads me to the best scene of the night:
Juliet: I was SOOO nice when I was pregnant.
Marissa: I wish I had known you then.
Ouch!!! I howled.
i find myself really irritated by caprice, the name alone is enough, but she is very high maintanence. i could not imagine trying to have a friend like her. i think caprice pulls noelles strings and has led her to believe that she needs her to make it in london society. i love caroline, she cracks me up, but juliet needs to stop kissing her ass, he face is shoved right up that skinny little ass. marissa is just adorable and her husband is pretty sweet also, how she mixes with caprice and juliet is beyond me. and there is something really strange about how caprice speaks and she seems to be all one color most of the time, hair, face, lips, shadow, and the same exact shade
Any news on how Annabelle is recovering? Glad she’s alive and hopefully able to walk! In the first couple of shows, I had a heck of a time telling Noelle, Marissa, and Caprice apart. I fixed that by nicknaming them Pouty, Perky, and Preggie. I love this show even though they were all sort of low energy tonight from hangovers and of course almost dying falling off a horse!
Pouty, Perky and Preggie! Now that is funny!
Juliet doesn’t bother me, which is kind of weird since I am sort of a Marissa type personality. Always giving the benefit of the doubt. However, Caprice does get on my last nerve. And as much as I hate “at the end of the day” as much as the next guy, she did kind of use it in the right context for a change, if there is such a thing.
Ugh Noelle, drop the faux British accents. You’re starting to sound like Madge.
Omg her British accent attempts just bother me. It’s so bad and forced. I think if it happens it should naturally. Like when some of my family from the South start to sound more and more southern when in Georgia & Alabama than they do here in DC. It happens to be if I’m around my Brit family for too long, but her attempt is just so fucking grating.
I think Juliet irritates me more than anyone. How many more times by various women does she need to be told she is loud and shouldn’t say every stupid or angry thought she has? She was downright mean to Marissa. Some day she will get slapped when she meets her match. As usual, she wore all the ugly clothes. Surprised the Brits haven’t shipped her back here in a pen.
What’s with Caprice asking everyone to throw her a baby shower. I guess she wasn’t satisfied with Carolina’s idea and moved on. Not liking Caprice at all and I thought I wouldn’t like Caroline from the first episode but now find her pretty down to earth and VERY RICH with a nice life. Lucky Biotch
“It’s actually and interesting cause raising money for a vaccine for pregnant women with AIDS that inoculates the baby. I had no idea such a thing existed!”
My ears perked up when she started talking about it, because it actually doesn’t and she’s way confused. Women with HIV who become pregnant are put on one of the standard combinations of oral HIV meds during their pregnancy. During delivery, they continue the orals but also receive AZT via an IV line. Post-partum, they resume their regular oral HIV meds; the newborn also receives oral HIV meds for the first few months of life.
I was assuming it was a new technology in England…
Sadly, no. It would be a lot easier to give someone a vaccine, but there isn’t one. The UK guidelines for HIV in pregnancy line up with the US ones, and Noelle is as confused about it as she is about her relationship.
This is the worst reality show I have ever seen. I cannot relate to any of the characters.
We are supposed to relate to the cast? I never ever ever relate to anyone in reality tv. And when I go to the zoo, I don’t relate to the animals. It’s just interesting to see their fur patterns and watch their habits.
Love this show and all the ladies! I find each one interesting.
Really you can’t even compare a show like this to the crap of Atlanta.
Kandi’s wedding was such trash from day one. Mama Joyce is disgusting and a racist! Atlanta housewives are a bunch of losers and criminals.
Married to Medicine is more of the same except their education level is higher.
Yes, I have watched all these shows cause I’m addicted to Bravo but I’m working on my recovery.
Ladies of London actually have real lives, homes, husbands and children.
How nice is that? They are the “haves” and Atlanta are the “have nots”!
It’s much more interesting than OC
I have learned to hate all the HW shows-such trashy people but I am fascinated by this mix of American/British babes. Snoooooty-snarky—snotty with horrible manners and really nasty personalities-they can really teach those cloddish Americans how to be miserable, rich and do it with an accent-not to mention all with the worst manners imaginable. Whew and wow!
The scene with Marissa and her husband, when he gave her the earrings. I think that kiss and hug were the most genuine signs of affection on any of these housewives shows. Still loving Caroline. She is what I want in these shows, rich and fabulous. I don’t want people I can relate to, I want people I can live vicariously through. And having broken my pelvis from falling from a horse, it is not fun, but better than breaking your back, which a lot of riders unfortunately do.
She said on twitter that she broke her back as well!
Since this was probably filmed months ago, does anyone know if she has had a full recovery? Having had some similar injuries, more than once, I recovered, but was fearful of doing physically risky things going forward. I suppose I needed mental therapy along with the physical. Possibly I got smarter and realized I was not invincible, I did become a chicken too much though.
Caroline, Marissa and occasionally, Annabelle are likable. The others, particularly Caprice, are intolerable. I keep hoping for the following scenarios: Caroline busts Caprice and Noelle for those tragically fake British accents; some shop owner offers Caprice a senior citizen discount; the Earl of Sandwich explains to Juliet that taking pride in expressing stupid observations will get you walled off from polite society.
I should have said this earlier, but does anyone think these women look so much prettier without the gobs of heavy makeup and the fake eyelashes?
I think the Atlanta women do the most ridiculous makeup. I wore some reasonably sized false lashes years ago. The ones the ATL womem wear are clown funny. I do not know how they keep their eyelids up and open. They look heavy and I question their whole body and personalty as fake.

That scene with Julie, Anabelle is so obviously in pain. I felt some bit of compassion because previously I thought she was a pretentious twit who couldn’t mention Alexander enough. Well, I still think that, but I felt some empathy.
I like these women—even Caprice since I DO remember being pregnant and just too bloated and tired to even drag myself off the couch and I see that same relief at being allowed to get off her feet in Caprice. Maybe I should re-watch these shows from the beginning to get all the Caprice hate. I might have missed something.
They’re ALL affected. Heck, it’s almost a prerequisite for these kinds of shows that the women be freakish in some way I guess.
Still, I like the ones who seem the most real, the ones I can somewhat Identify with or admire something about.
It was so nice to see someone like Marissa have a happy life instead of the loud, crude, seemingly angry freaks of some of the other series, and as I’ve said before, I like Annabelle because she seems like an introvert who must be pragmatic about being on the show.
One thing I loved in this episode was the way Caroline said to Juliet “You’re HERE now” So succinct and so true. Either learn to adapt and bend with the prevailing wind or you break.
If Juliet is not happy in London, she should discuss the possibility of moving home with her husband. She could also try to fit in, I’m sure she would have a nicer time and get some friends.
Noelle is a full blown gold digger with no shame, and that Madonna accent! Very shallow otherwise. When she was talking about her “charity” over a glass of overpriced champagne, about how mothers could get the shot and not infect their babies with HIV, I wanted to slap that bitch.
Juliet is a mess. She dresses like Perez Hilton, almost daring you to say something. The scene where first Marissa and then her broke down into crocodile tears was hilarious. Grown ass women..
Love Caroline. See Heather, that is how you brag while remaining likable.
Agreed. Juliet gets on my nerves with her obnoxious fashion choices. Wtf was that blue thing she wore to the Earls house?? C’mon? That was so tacky!!! Seriously, even Carolines crotch showing dress was better than that doily-rific hot mess.
I can’t even handle noelle’s Madonna accent.
Juliet is so tacky.
I didn’t want to like no-one-is-skinny-next-to-me Caroline, but I do. #can’thelpit
Omg… Marissa is such a cry baby!!! Juliet was being a good friend by telling her to give an honest opinion instead of kissing caprice’s ass. Marissa started that whole crying scene… Juliet didn’t do anything wrong. Noel is little shit stirrer but every show needs one… I love Caroline her makeup always looks onnnn point, plus she’s hilarious!!
Um, I’m pretty sure Marissa saying that Caprice was 7 months pregnant and just ready to home, was her honest opinion.

She did. Juliet was a nasty bitch about it. And she made it personally against Marissa.
No, Caprice was meant to stay at the hotel with the other American girls and Caroline. Only Amanda was to stay at the manor house and of course the other girl whose husband’s family owned the place.
Because of the petty drama that we watch reality TV for, Caprice seperated herself from the group she was meant to stay with and checked out sneakily before the girls started filming the next day at the hotel.
My point being, absolutely everyone knew that Caprice’s 3rd trimester excuse was an excuse, even though I’m sure the limo rides were rough on her.
Marissa was just playing the game, and who was she trying to fool putting the “ms. perfect” accusation in everybody’s mouth over and over again. I get it, you “don’t” like being accused of being perfect.
She has a great sense of style though. Always looks great.
Yeah. Amanda.
Juliet needs to accept the fact that Marissa likes Caprice or is not interested in trashing Caprice. If I was attacked by Juliet like Marissa was, I would have had enough as well. She needs a filter over her mouth!
i can’t believe i’m saying this because i normally don’t care about such things, but doesn’t Noelle look OLD? i mean, isn’t the girl in modeling or something? she just, i don’t know, i can’t get past it. When its her turn for the show her storyline bores the hell out of me, her attitude stinks, and her eyelids droop into her eyes and her eye makeup is terribly heavy. As a matter of fact, I can’t stand any of the American girls’ make up.
Sigh. Finally got that off my chest. whew.
She looks tired most of the time.
Actually, I believe Marissa “was” giving her own opinion, which made perfect sense. Marissa is entitled to have an opinion, even if Juliet does not agree, and she should have respected it. Caprice is no spring chicken and is in her 7th month of pregnancy. It was very hot weather, and she had been up since 6 am. Marissa and Juliet are from two different molds and somehow it appears Juliet is jealous. One of the ladies astutely pointed out, Juliet likes to cause a commotion wherever she goes. Frankly, I find it offensive, and I am an American. Even Juliet’s husband looked embarrassed when she told him about her run-in with Annabelle. It’s probably always something, and she is never at fault. Several people on the show tried to tell Juliet she comes on too strong. She seems to listen, however, it does not sink in. She is in another country and should try to fit in. Even in Chicago, I doubt many would tolerate her behavior. Personally, I want to hear a different opinion from my friends, no matter what it is. Sometimes I learn something. The other issue is she is supposed to be friends with Marissa. Marissa helped her with business connections, etc. Marissa is a class act who is beautiful inside and out. One thing for sure, her friendship with Juliet will never be the same. Juliet enjoys being argumentative.
I have a lump in my throat every time Juliet says she is an American. People who act like she does are the reason so many people despise America. I wish she would stop pretending she represents “us.”
I like Marissa I think she is stronger than people give her credit for… Caprice and Noelle deserve each other… Caroline is awesome, she said it best when saying Caprice thinks she is British but she is not in reality also if Caprice is soooo freakin British then why does she have an American surrogate in the US? Weird. Juliet is just a shock jock whatever and Annabelle is kind of a brat. What is the point of the Julie girl… mrs. i am a hippie but live on an estate and am very compassionate one minute yet snobby the next… don’t get her at all…
