The season 14 finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which aired on March 25, 2025, encapsulated the dramatic conclusion of the cast’s trip to St. Lucia. In a heated boat excursion, Jennifer Tilly accused Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley of orchestrating a “coordinated attack”against Sutton Stracke. The episode featured escalating confrontations, beginning with Garcelle Beauvais questioning Kyle Richards’ loyalty to Sutton.
Interestingly, Kathy Hilton remained detached from this particular exchange, as she repeatedly asked for ice bags throughout the filming process. The finale prominently featured a Caribbean carnival celebration, further intensifying the already fraught interpersonal dynamics. Notably, the episode was 75 minutes long and marked Garcelle’s final appearance as a regular cast member on the series.
Confrontations During Caribbean Retreat
Following the incident on the boat, the group divided into smaller clusters for various island activities. Boz Saint John accompanied Sutton to a local artisan shop, where they engaged in chocolate-making. While tempering chocolate, Sutton expressed her desire to be more caring towards others while maintaining her stance on the ongoing confrontation.
On the beach, Kyle, Garcelle, and Jennifer gathered to chat. In this setting, Jennifer shared insights regarding her divorce settlement, emphasizing that her royalties from The Simpsons constituted a substantial part of her finances. This beach-side discussion illuminated increasing tensions between Kyle and Garcelle, who felt that Kyle had neglected Sutton during the group’s conflicts.
Suite Discussions and Dinner Dynamics
In their hotel suite, Erika and Dorit reflected on their recent interactions with Sutton. They reminisced about more positive times but also voiced their frustrations about the present situation. Dismissing Jennifer’s claims of a staged confrontation, Erika contended that she simply expressed her genuine opinions.
During an installment of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, she stated:
“Not a coordinated attack, and I’m offended by that.”
Meanwhile, Kathy Hilton continued her requests for ice bags, highlighting her discomfort with the Caribbean heat. As the group gathered in Boz’s suite, they received their carnival costumes, and Jennifer noted that Sutton needed space to process the day’s events. Later, Erika inquired if Jennifer or Garcelle had accused her of orchestrating verbal “attacks”on Sutton, to which Jennifer expressed regret for upsetting Erika.
The dinner atmosphere shifted as cast members began to impersonate one another, prompting laughter. Jennifer’s impression of Sutton was well-received, yet Dorit and Erika’s takes struck a more serious tone. After Sutton attempted her own impression, she left the table prematurely, closing her door with visible frustration behind her.
Carnival Celebration and Cast Updates
As the carnival commenced, Boz, Dorit, Kyle, and Erika embraced the festivities while Jennifer and Garcelle opted for stylish 1950s-inspired bathing suits. Kathy donned a full-length muumuu, fretting over the battery life of her portable fan. The lively celebration showcased fire performers, stilt walkers, and the rhythmic sounds of steel pan music.
Meanwhile, back in Beverly Hills, Kyle visited Erika post Tom Girardi’s conviction on multiple counts of wire fraud. Erika conveyed her mixed emotions about the verdict, reflecting on Tom’s former reputation in contrast to his current legal troubles, particularly the implications of an 80-year sentence on her life.
The season 14 finale also offered glimpses into the lives of the cast members: Garcelle welcomed her granddaughter, Valley; Boz and Keely Watson advanced in their fertility journey; Sutton’s friendship with Dorit remained rocky, although her relationship with her mother saw improvement.
Additionally, while navigating the paparazzi, Kyle remained open to the prospect of new relationships, and Erika prepared to return to the Broadway stage as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago, alongside her headlining act at London’s Mighty Hoopla festival.
Viewers can anticipate further developments in the upcoming reunion special for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14, with Part 1 scheduled to air on Tuesday, April 1.
