What to Watch on Wednesday: The tension explodes on RHOBH as Erika and Sutton face off

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 8 p.m. on Bravo

We've all been on the edge of our seats throughout this season of RHOBH, which has depicted the shockingly twisty tale of the dissolution of the Girardis' marriage, Tom's legacy, and possibly Erika's own reputation along with them. Among the cast, Sutton has been the most vocally skeptical of Erika's careful narrative, and their growing tension finally explodes in this week's long-awaited episode, which boldly claims a place in Housewives history from the start with its title "The Dinner Party from Hell: Part Two." Devoted Bravoholics have never forgotten the first climactic episode of that name (nor have they stopped using GIFs from it) from RHOBH's iconic first season. So pour yourself an enormous cocktail and fire up your electronic cigarette, because you don't even need a psychic at the table to predict this will be a very big Wednesday night. —Mary Sollosi

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Hulu

This week, our nine perfect(ly weird) strangers still haven't checked out of the idyllic but increasingly bizarre Tranquillum House. In fact, against the odds, the group is starting to grow closer together. Or is that just the wild drug trips talking? Zoe also has a birthday celebration that reopens some old wounds and features a delightful karaoke-ing Michael Shannon. The possible threats against Masha continue to loom large, and more breakthroughs and confrontations can be expected in this week's episode, which has been appropriately dubbed "Sweet Surrender." After all, with a cast this starry, a setting this dreamy, and a Nicole Kidman this kooky, surrendering to it all is precisely what you should be doing each week. —Lauren Huff
