On The Real Housewives of New York City, all the ladies gather for a dinner. Luann de Lesseps finds herself sitting across from Bethenny Frankel and her boyfriend Dennis. Luann tries to exchange pleasantries with Dennis by asking him how he and Bethenny met. When he reveals that they knew each other from the 1980s, no bell rings for Luann. At the 2016 reunion, RHONYC fans will remember that Luann called out Bethenny for dating “a married man,” which Bethenny says wasn’t true. When it’s brought to Luann’s attention that Dennis is the “married man” that she referred to, there’s an awkward pregnant pause. Dorinda Medley’s reaction to Luann’s faux pas is priceless. She can’t stop laughing. While rubbing her hands together she says in between breathes, “It’s just so great.”

At the dinner party, Bethenny suggests that Luann apologizes to Dennis. Luann asks for what and then acquiesces. She later said “It was nothing to get all up in arms about.” The Real Housewives of New York City airs Wednesdays at 9pm on Bravo.
