Episode 2: Black Ball'd | The Real Housewives of Miami Photos

Adriana recaps her big night on the dance floor with Fredric.

Surprise: Lea's on multiple cell phones at once. This woman is addicted.

Alexia is a high-powered magazine editor, but this is no "Devil Wears Prada"-situation.

As a socialite, Alexia knows what socialites want to read.

Cristy looks enthusiastic about cooking, even if she's a bit out of practice.

Cristy's choice of chef came under a bit of fire for his choices (canned ingredients, cooking in a crock pot), but his bubbly personality did win over the ladies. Not contested, his delicious Cuban arroz con pollo recipe.

Leave it to the Miami ladies to have an especially colorful luncheon.

Ruh roh, someone's waiting on their ride.

The ladies are none-too-pleased with Fredric's phone manners.

And it seems neither is Adriana.

The Brazilian bombshell versus the Frenchman, Round 1.

Alexia and Adriana chat it out, parent to parent.

Alexia feels Adriana's pain of parenting without a staff.

Nanny beware: Larsa's mom will gladly let you go.

Marysol, getting her Elsa-coined "Madame Pompadour" 'do.

Lea's necklace is as serious bling as she is serious business.

Adriana needs to talk to someone about why she's not on the list, pronto.

Problem solved! This pair makes it inside.

Let the bidding begin!

Herman is not holding back! More watches for this guy!

The crux of the season came in Episode 2. Lea Black's gala is the hottest ticket in Miami, so when Cristy showed up sans ticket -- it was a bit an issue. Lea wasn't going to let that slide. She sent her a certified letter (and some party snapshots to refresh her memory), oh and she called Watch What Happens Live and said some pretty choice words as well.

Cristy vigorously defends her appearance (and paid her bill), but the animosity between the two stands.
