Observant Real Housewives of New York City viewers may have noticed something was a little different with the show the last few episodes: Aviva Drescher was missing.

The reality star is both missing from the Berkshires episodes and she's also been scrubbed from the opening credits and the cast interstitials. Where is the Leggy Blonde author?

Prior to heading to the Berkshires, Heather Thomson told the ladies Aviva wouldn't be joining them because of camp obligations. A source tells E! News Aviva's absence is a "non-thing" and she's still considered a main castmember of Real Housewives of New York City. "She's just not in the episodes," the source said.

Aviva will be back after the Berkshire episodes wrap up on Tuesday, May 20. But when the ladies venture off on another trip, this one to Montana, expect the episodes to be Aviva-less once again.

When Aviva does return, so will her father, George. And with them comes more drama! Plus, the network has been teasing a big moment featuring the ladies at an event and Aviva's prosthetic leg on the ground, shocking everybody.

The source assured us that the season—which has already featured two instances of wine being thrown, one wine glass tossed at a face and several breakdowns and arguments—only gets crazier.

Real Housewives of New York City airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

(E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
