As Finn Opens His Heart and Forgives Dylan, Katie’s Just About Had It With Ridge and Brooke
As the episode begins, Dylan is still confessing to Finn and Steffy that she killed Luna. And even though Finn wanted nothing to do with his homicidal-maniac daughter, he seems kinda pissed about it. At Spencer Publications, Bill sings Katie’s praises to Liam to the point that he makes it sound like a wonder he ever closed a deal without her. At Forrester Creations, Ridge and Brooke are talking about how pretty she is. She also recaps that they are together again and remarried. Yup, we know, Brooke. Just then, in comes Katie.

Bill Thinks Katie Walks On Water
After the opening credits, Liam and Bill pick up where they left off saying how amazing Katie is. Bill insists that his priorities were out of whack during his marriage to Katie. He wasn’t there enough for her as she raised Will. Liam insists that Dad’s being too hard on himself. Is he, though? Anyway, Bill reiterates that he wants Katie to leave Forrester and bring Will over to Spencer. (What Will brings to the table, I have no idea.)

Later, Bill checks his temper on a business call. Hey, that is demonstrable progress. Good on Bold & Beautiful for showing, not telling. Bill is even down with continuing the never-ending journey to self-improvement. He swears to Liam that he’ll never break Katie’s heart again. She deserves to be respected, Bill adds, especially at Forrester.

Brooke and Ridge Don’t Want Katie Back
Speaking of Forrester… at the design house, Ridge and Brooke are surprised that Katie came to the office. She

Brooke and Ridge aren’t into Katie’s plans. Robin and her team have already set a similar one in motion. Mm-kay, but Katie’s ready to return as head of PR. Can she not? “What is it?” she asks. Ridge and Brooke don’t want to give Robin the boot right now. Wow. (Why does Robin look so familiar? Here’s your answer.)
Finn Forgives Dylan
At the cliff house, Electra and Will seem to feel like they need to defend Dylan. “I’ve never even had a speeding ticket,” Dylan cries. “I’m so sorry.” Does anyone else not get this? She basically dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the West, and now she’s own some tear-stained apology tour. Where’s her ticker-tape parade?
More: Is Steffy already in danger again?
Finn shares that he has conflicting feelings about Luna, but he didn’t wish her dead. “One thing that I know is what Electra just said,” he adds. “You are a wonderful person. Hayes adores you, and so do we. Steffy and I both believe you.” Just like that, Finn forgives Dylan, and they hug it out.
Afterwards, Dylan & Co. recap her mistakes and remorse. Steffy won’t let her beat herself up over being conned by “Miss Sunshine.” Does anyone see the point to this stuff? Are we supposed to feel bad for Luna now? Finn doesn’t want Dylan to mope around. “You have a beautiful life, you just need to reclaim it.” Will and Electra will help with that, they say.
We Haven’t Seen the Last of Dylan, It Seems
As the episode nears its conclusion, Bill leaves Liam mid-sentence at Spencer to “check on Katie.” At that very moment, she is forced to remind Brooke and Ridge of her qualifications for her job, even her stint as CEO. She isn’t hearing any support whatsoever from her sister, who is all into new PR rep Robin’s firm. It’s not personal, Ridge says, it’s just business.
Back at the beach house, Electra reiterates that she wants to help Dylan, and Will reiterates how awesome his girlfriend is. They can’t wait for Luna to be nothing but a distant memory. Will suggests they never even speak of her again. Yes, please, make that happen! Electra agrees, but can they really keep to their pact? Yes, please? Dare we hope?
At the cliff house, Finn and Steffy reiterate all that Dylan has been through and how they all have to move forward. The Luna-cy “has consumed us for too long,” understates the doc. He doesn’t have any more feelings to process because his wife is amazing, beautiful, talented, etc., etc. “I never knew I could love like this till I laid eyes on you.”
Bill Once Again Urges Katie to Join ‘Their’ Family Business
Finally, at Forrester, Brooke frets over how upset Katie was. Ridge has no bleeps to give. Alone with Bill, Katie explains how an outside PR team has usurped her position… in like a week. And as for Brooke and Ridge, “they completely disregarded me,” she marvels. Bill’s take? “They’re idiots.”
Seeing his opening, Bill once again suggests that his “powerhouse” partner walk away from Forrester and its scandals. “They should be on their knees thanking you. The good news is, you can give Forrester the boot. Come with me and your true family company.” Yup, sure looks like Katie’s outta there.

Kyle Richards Discusses “Uncomfortable” Run-In With LVP, Why She Returned for RHOBH Season 15, and If She’s Speaking to Dorit, Plus Being Open to Dating Women and Garcelle’s Comment About Reconnecting
Kyle Richards opened up about her regular run-ins with Lisa Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd, during an interview this week.
As she also explained her decision to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
“It’s uncomfortable,” Kyle recently admitted to Extra. “I always have made a point to go up and say, ‘Hello,’ and be nice, and Ken is usually receptive, and Lisa, not as much. I did see them recently and I didn’t go up to the table.”
During a separate interview with Variety on November 14, Kyle spoke of her decision to reprise her role on RHOBH after struggling during season 14 due to her split from Mauricio Umansky, 55.
“Coming back to the show was also very scary for me, but I was also afraid of change. When that time does come, it’s going to be another loss, because it’s such a part of your life after 15 years. So I was afraid. I was honestly afraid,” she explained. “I am someone who is a multitasker, who likes to juggle a lot of things and have a million balls in the air. And that would be a very big piece of my life that would change. So it was fear-based, honestly.”
As for her status with Dorit, Kyle said they “made great progress” but unfortunately “went backwards again.”
“It’s hard to get to a better place because of what she’s going through. And sometimes, I’m like, ‘Wait, I’m also going through that.’ But hers is a totally different situation than mine. Mine is very peaceful and amicable,” Kyle noted, giving a nod to Dorit’s messy breakup from Paul “PK” Kemsley, 57.
She then confirmed, “We’re not speaking.”
In fact, she and Dorit were moved on the red carpet at BravoCon, potentially due to their feud.
“We said hi in passing, but things sort of fell apart this season on the show. I hope to get back to a place with her that we once were. And I think once things are better between her and PK, it will be easier to do that,” she explained.
Looking back on the comment she made to Bozoma Saint John, 48, and her co-stars, which said, “I could go Brad, I could go Angelina,” Kyle revealed, “I said it to make them laugh.”
“I don’t like labels, I guess. Honestly, this is where it stemmed from — I know people the girls are clearly hinting for that heavily. And I was like, ‘Just come out and say it’ … And then when I saw it, I said, ‘Why did I even say that?'” she confessed.
According to Kyle, her type, which used to be “tall, dark, and handsome,” is “evolving.”
“My mind has opened up,” she told the interviewers, who mentioned that they were both lesbians.
“That’s totally an option. I’m just here to see what life brings me, honestly,” Kyle replied.
Following filming on season 15, Kyle said she was “closest to [Erika Jayne] and [Sutton Stracke].”
“Sutton and I are actually close … I’m a very early morning person, so she’ll call at like, 7, and I’ve been up for like two hours. We’ll talk for an hour, and we really do share everything. But you don’t see that on the show,” she shared.
Still, as she reflected on Sutton implying that Mauricio had cheated, Kyle shaded her castmate for performing for the show.
“Why are you doing that to me?” she wondered. “In 15 seasons, I’ve never done that. I think I’m an interesting enough person that I don’t need to start fights with people for a TV show. So when I feel that, I feel hurt by that.”
When the interviewers then mentioned that Amanda appeared to be the series’ new villain, Kyle replied, “I think she could maybe be polarizing. At times, I think — definitely.”
Then asked about Garcelle’s interest in reconnecting, Kyle said it came as a “surprise.”
“I wish she would have shown me that more in person. Garcelle and I had this thing — we would look at each other, and we had this unspoken language, and we would laugh at the same thing. I love to make her laugh … When we left Georgia, we were saying, “Love you, bye” — and I don’t throw the love word around,” she noted, confirming that the two of them hadn’t spoken since Garcelle made the comment.
“She had unfollowed me on Instagram. I think it’s hard to have friendships on the show, which makes me so grateful for Erika and [Teddi Mellencamp], and even Dorit — even though we’re going through this hard time. It really makes you appreciate those friendships,” she reasoned.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 premieres Thursday, December 4, at 8/7c on Bravo.
