Titled 'A Tele-Noella,' RHOC Episode 5 will be what the title suggests — about Noella Bergener.

Previously, Heather Dubrow’s friend Nicole James was seen backstabbing Bergener. She told Dubrow that Bergener called the latter a “fake b**ch.”

Fans blasted James for throwing Bergener under the bus when she was already going through a tough time.

In the upcoming episode, the gossip marathon will continue behind Bergener’s back, and the housewives will be seen adding fuel to the fire.

Dubrow is still pissed at Beador, and now she will have another candidate to be angry at. The official synopsis of RHOC episode 5 reads:

“Shannon apologizes to Heather, but her atonement doesn't end there; Dr. Jen's attempt to smooth things over with Noella unexpectedly blows up; Gina warns Heather about more negative comments Noella has made.”

The previous episode ended with Dubrow threatening Beador to stay away from her family or bear the consequences.

With each episode, RHOC Season 16 is turning more dramatic. Fans can only expect the drama to grow in the coming episodes.
