Sarah has a daydream that Eileen Davidson comes over to clean the cloffice, knocking on the door with the always professional salutation, "you beast?!" Undeterred by such an entry, she realizes the next best clean solution is her other beast - her Daily Beast editor, Kevin Fallon (editor of Daily Beast Obsessed, a pop culture website). They settle into the cloff for a Springsteen-themed deep dive: the glory days of Housewives, and how memory can serve as a reward or stranglehold, how franchises can/must move forward after losing key cast members (and the difference between OG departures on Beverly Hills and, potentially, Franklin Lakes), Andy and Nene's possible path to reconciliation, Bethenny's inherently contradictory turn away from the Bravo machine while continuing to lean in, Kevin's experiences interviewing Andy, and why "The Big Shot" is a swing and a miss. Sarah confidently proclaims this is episode 589, which is how you know it's not - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 590!

The journey continues. Sarah and guest co-host Rafi D'Angelo (creator and writer behind overpricedvodka.com) deep dive all things OC: revisiting "naked wasted," and how it might be received by 'current era' Bravo fans, Terry's history on "The Swan," Rafi's evolution on Shan, why Katie's version of events about Gina feels inherently flawed, Sarah's Shannon complex (including about the future of the pod), ongoing questions about Emily and Heather's relationship, and more. Gina and Nene are Housewife contemporaries - file that under things that absolutely make sense - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 589! Part 2!

Sarah has a doctor's appointment, to check her line of vision. The verdict? Perfect 20/20 when it comes to all things Shan. After reading an array of vowels and consonants in different sizes (much like Gina's meltdown, it's a tasting for all senses), she realizes a perfect kiki would be with her Bravoholic pal with a fascinating see-but-not-quite-seen Bravoholic strategy, Rafi D'Angelo (creator and writer behind overpricedvodka.com). They settle into the cloff for a wild two-parter that covers the universe of Housewives, and so much more. On part 1: their new reality TV obsession ("The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" on Hulu), whether the cast of New RHONY will be able to avoid a second-season curse (and which cast members they think are particularly susceptible), Jill Zarin's role in the future of RHONY Legacy (and Ally's proposal), the difference between LVP and Dorinda's spinoff management styles a la 'ladies of the manor,' whether RHONY will follow RHOSLC's direction on cast members' with cult-associations, whether the Salt Lake trailer is leaning in to last season's finale gotcha moment, and how to feel about Mary's return to a full-time role. Lisa Barlow did not lose any 60k diamonds while this episode was recorded, but it remains priceless, anyway - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 589! Part 1!
