Though they didn't exactly get off on the right foot this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton Stracke and Crystal Kung Minkoff appeared to finally be able to move past their drama following the "leather pants" moment.

How to Watch

Cut to the girls' trip to La Quinta in the July 21 episode of RHOBH, and Dorit Kemsley mentioned that some of the ladies decided to stay at a hotel instead of Kyle Richards' home. "Garcelle [Beauvais] wasn't comfortable staying at a house. And then Kathy [Hilton] didn't feel comfortable at a hotel. I ended up last minute switching them out," Kyle said, explaining, "Because I didn't want to put Crystal and Sutton together."

But there was no beef here, according to Crystal. Not only did she and Sutton appear to be getting along as the vacation kicked off, but she also said that the two were in a good place since they experienced some major conflict at Lisa Rinna's home earlier this season. "But since then, she has texted to just reach out and say hi. So I think it's getting better," Crystal said of where things stand with Sutton in an interview during the episode. "But I'm still happy to be at a hotel with a lock on the door [laughs]."

So, how did Sutton feel about Crystal staying in a hotel during the La Quinta getaway? During the July 21 Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen After Show, she said that she understood Crystal's decision due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. "And no, I wasn't offended at all," Sutton said in the above clip. "And, no, actually, at that point, we were good. So, no. No offense. All good."

In fact, it sounds like Sutton had a good time overall during the trip. "It was fun," she shared. "It was a good weekend."

It sounds like Sutton's experience during the La Quinta vacay was a far cry from the last girls' trip to Lake Tahoe earlier this season, after which she and Crystal did not see eye to eye after Sutton returned Crystal's coat to her room. See how Sutton feels about that moment today and why it made Andy Cohen say, "all right, I love that," in the WWHL clip, below.
