The episode begins with Andy Cohen welcoming the Real Housewives of Rhode Island cast to the Bravo Clubhouse to celebrate their premiere. He introduces Alicia, Rosie, Liz, Rula, Kelsey, Ashley, and Joellen, noting some brought their husbands. Early questions touch on Rhode Island quirks, like Alicia living 15 minutes from Cranston being a big deal. The cast discusses their backgrounds, with Ashley comparing the drama to 'The Bachelor' and Kelsey mentioning her boyfriend's reality TV fandom. A round of 'Spoilers Superlatives' has the women scream answers about who makes the group laugh, has the best fashion, and causes the most drama, with Joellen often named for shade and pot-stirring. Next, 'One, Two, Agree or Disagree' involves flash cards on topics like confessional honesty and Instagram followers, revealing disagreements. Fan questions follow, including one for Joellen about swinger rumors, which she denies while explaining neighborhood pineapple incidents. A game with Dolores Catania involves shady questions where players can answer or make someone drink, highlighting tensions like Rula trusting Joellen the least. Andy asks the cast about surprises from watching the show, with Liz noting the long filming hours and Alicia appreciating the authentic edit. Andy then gives advice to the new Housewives, urging them to ignore social media, stay true to themselves, and enjoy the ride as part of a select group. Later, fan questions resurface, with Rosie confronting Joellen over past insults about being evil and bringing cheap wine, leading to emotional reactions. The episode ends with a pronunciation game for Alicia and closing remarks.
