The Real Housewives of Miami

Bienvenidos a Miami, where the sun is hot, but the drama is hotter. In the premiere episode, Lea invites the ladies to her house to catch up and eat delicious food, but quickly turns emotional when Adriana discusses the demise of her first marriage. Meet Lea Black, Marysol Patton, Adriana De Moura, Alexia Echevarria, Cristy Rice and Larsa Pippen, six of Miami's hottest and most talked-about ladies. These ladies may have the sand between their toes, but it's not always fun in the sun.

It's time for the Black's Annual Gala and Lea has the highest rollers of Miami society attending. Celebrities arrive in droves, people are buying auction items, and Lea is poised to cross her million-dollar mark yet again, even in a down economy. But the night isn't without tension when Cristy shows up with two friends without an RSVP.

Adriana, a well-known art gallery owner in Miami, invites the ladies to her latest gallery opening. Days before the show, however, the artist Adriana chose is not close to finishing all the paintings she has commissioned him to do. In full panic mode, Adriana sets a backup plan in motion to keep her audience impressed and entertained, but not all the guests are amused. Adriana's fiery Brazilian temper kicks into gear and the night ends with everyone talking about the drama and not the art.

Alexia invites the ladies for dinner, and she and her husband, Herman, are going all out - Cuban Style. However, dead "pork" is not what vegetarian Lea had in mind and throws some digs out over dinner. Distressed over her poor gallery opening, Adriana confides in Lea about her financial and relationship woes. Meanwhile, Cristy is astonished that she received an invoice from Lea for "crashing" The Black's Annual Gala.

Larsa invites the ladies to an Italian cooking lesson at her and Scottie's private restaurant. With all the women in attendance, Adriana stirs the pot by putting Cristy on the hot seat, questioning her over a rumor regarding Lea's gala. Meanwhile, Marysol and Philippe return from an eventful trip to Aspen where they eloped and are excited to start their life as a married couple. Cristy and Alexia are in a fashion show for charity, but on the way over Alexia gets into a bad car accident, leaving a panicked Cristy to finish the show on her own.

Marysol invites the ladies over for a dinner party and to spice things up she includes her mother, Elsa. After being challenged to read the women's energies at dinner, Elsa calls Larsa "emotionally immature", setting her off and sending the dinner into a tailspin. Meanwhile, Alexia has been hard at work trying to pave the way for her son Peter's future as a model, including taking him to a modeling agency to get signed. All the while, Lea has been hard at work planning a dinner party with Chef Michelle Bernstein. She has something up her sleeve, but none of the girls are privy to what they're about to step into, literally.
