Bravo Breakdowns

    Ep. 133- Ladies of London S4 E7 Recap

    Lauren and "Friend of the Pod" Sonia Weber from @bravobravobooksandbravo recap the penultimate episode of Ladies of London. It's time to analyze these characters and feuds, American style! As the Margo vs. Mark feud continues to play out and Lottie and Myka take Margo's side, we deep dive on the UK vs. US conflict that drives the show (no wonder Margo is celebrating July 4th!) Plus, our examination of the "untouchable" Mark Francis: the man, the myth, the legend- and his defense mechanisms (did he really not know Destiny's Child?) Last, it's Myka's Polo Party birthday, and Martha has a horse therapy breakthrough. Margo and Mark save their showdown for next week's big finale, and we guess what's coming next season for this fabulous crown jewel of a Bravo show.
