S1 - E7Second Chances
The de Lesseps take a family trip to the Statue of Liberty, where the Count talks to the kids about the significance of the statue and their family history. Bobby takes Jill for a romantic dinner, and surprises her with a gift of lingerie that does not impress her. Following dinner, he then surprises her by showering her with something more her style - a very expensive watch and earrings. Simon and Alex discuss Francois' school evaluation, which Alex must attend alone because Simon has to go to Australia due to the death of his stepfather. This will be the longest the two will spend apart since they have been married. Jill travels to Connecticut to attend a formal luncheon held by her sister Lisa, and to do an interview for her sister's local radio show. They joke about growing up always wanting to be successful and wealthy, and now they actually are. Jill decides to throw a holiday party for all five women and their families. Everyone decided to give Ramona another chance to redeem herself for her behavior at the last get together, but she shows up extremely late. As they all sit down together, the only empty seat is Jason's who is stuck at work. At the children's table, Avery, Victoria and Ally discuss how different their mothers are while the adults discuss Ramona's temper with her husband Mario. When Jason finally arrives he tells Bobby how happy he is with Bethenny and that he wants to give her whatever she wants.
