    On this episode of Bravo Breakdown, Jessica dives into Sisterhood of the Traveling Housewives — a lingerie‑clad, emotionally packed ride from Miami to New York City.  We start in Miami at Lisa Hochstein’s lingerie party, where unexpected blasts from the past walk in: Jacqueline Laurita, Melissa Gorga, Peggy Tanous — and yes, the reunions, hugs, and “are we good?” moments come fast. Miami drama erupts as Lisa and Larsa spar over loyalty, breakups, Instagram follows, and who’s “always naked,” while Adriana performs and Luann arrives in full Countess mode.  Then it’s wheels up to New York City, where Carole Radziwill hosts a lunch that turns surprisingly emotional. Teresa opens up about her parents, her 18 years on TV, and the weight of her family story, sparking a heartfelt conversation about motherhood, resilience, and the strange sisterhood forged in the fire of Housewives fame.  Then it’s time for Luann’s Halloween party — a costume fever dream!  But one thing is clear, where is Porsha?  Next week promises a showdown as Luann breaks down over how she was treated in her hometown — and Porsha is ready to stand her ground.  Support the show
