Carole, Ramona, Aviva and their husbands go out for dinner in Miami with Sonja and her "date," Aviva's sex-addicted father, George. Later in the trip at the Art Basel festival, Aviva pulls Sonja aside to ask how to deal with Ramona. While on a shopping trip in New York, Carole calls out LuAnn for asking her friend to loan her dresses.

Ramona invites all of the ladies and their significant others out to dinner - except for Heather. But things go awry quickly as LuAnn offends Carole and Mario takes issue with Jacques. LuAnn hosts a holiday party that all of the girls attend, and a very drunk Sonja confronts Jacques and LuAnn about some very personal issues. And to top off the night, the ladies get up on stage to sing.

To celebrate the holidays, Carole hosts a "White Elephant" party for the ladies and their husbands. Aviva brings her father George, who happens to be in town and LuAnn and Heather get their first dose of the sex-crazed patriarch. Sonja arrives to her toaster oven photo shoot over an hour late - which immediately ticks off Heather, who has organized the entire thing. Carole finally finished her book and wants to celebrate by inviting all the ladies to come with her to St. Barth's for a vacation.

Aviva hosts a charity event at Soul Cycle to raise money for children who need prosthetics. Ramona and Sonja are no shows, which angers Aviva, who thinks that if booze was served, they would've showed up to support her. Aviva and Carole meet at a jewelry store where Aviva tells Carole she's most likely not going to make it to St. Barths because of her fear of flying. After raising money at the Soul Cycle event, Aviva brings Carole and her son, Harrison, to "A Step Ahead," where she presents a young boy named Jake with a pair of prosthetic running legs.

The ladies arrive in St. Barths without Aviva and head straight for their beautiful villa, and realize it's first class all the way around. On their first evening, Carole's boyfriend, Russ, shows up just in time to meet the women and save the conversation. A night out at Le Ti has the ladies enjoying tequila shots and a pirate-themed performance. The next morning, rumor has it LuAnn kept the party going much later than anyone else.

The ladies have invited friends over to the villa for a party, but only two people show up - Cat, LuAnn's old friend and Tomas, the "Johnny Deep look-alike" from the night before. The ladies think it was Tomas that LuAnn brought back to the villa the previous night and Ramona takes the opportunity to get to the bottom of it.

Ramona is upset when Aviva, Reid, Carole and Russ set up a double date without her and Sonja. On the final night, Sonja and Ramona add fuel to the fire when they opt to return to the villa instead of going to see Russ perform.

LuAnn brings Jacques to a dinner party back in New York, causing Ramona and Sonja to wonder if she's told him the truth about what happened with Tomas in St. Barths. Sonja and Aviva go to dinner to try to resolve their issues but even more drama unfolds.

Aviva's father, George, is back to his usual antics, but Sonja doesn't have time to be charmed as she continues to be disappointed by her ex-husband. Aviva and LuAnn join Heather for a walk through at the location of Heather's upcoming Yummie fashion show where Heather has a special request for Aviva.

Sonja and Heather try to put the finishing touches on Sonja's toaster oven box. Aviva meets with Heather for her fitting and is hesitant with the look that is chosen.
