The ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills brought more than just "four or five gays of their own" to Kyle Richards' gay mixer. They brought the Drama with a capital D.

Last week Kim Richards went into the hospital and all the ladies weren't exactly sure why. According to Kim, she was in the hospital for seven or eight days—she later told Lisa Rinna she was hospitalized for five days—because she "coughed and something snapped."

"Kyle, I just let out a scream and monty called the doctor…he said that's it, get in the car," Kim explained. According to Kim, she had a hernia and a cracked and fractured rib. And as for that night at Eileen Davidson's poker party, "I don't remember anything because I took a pain pill," Kim said. "I told Monty, ‘I just don't know if I should go. He said, ‘I'll tell you what, take one of my pain pills, it'll make you feel better'…So I took one."

Once she got home from the hospital, Kyle paid Kim a visit and the two recounted the night and Kyle discussed Brandi Glanville and their spat. Later that same day, Brandi visited Kim and they discussed Kyle. Lots of discussions took place.

The next day was Kyle's gay mixer. All the ladies brought their gays…including Brandi. Dun-dun-dunnnn. Kim explained she thought Brandi and Kyle could just move along. Kyle apologized to Brandi, but she added a "…but." Then the two went at it, almost coming to blows.

Kyle tried to shoo Brandi away so she could talk to Kim—who was really just sitting there—and Brandi said, "Excuse me? Neither are you. Ask your husband."

Yup.

"I just feel like my sister is not making good decisions right now," Kyle said of Kim's behavior and trust of Brandi. And then Kim got confused about what day it was, thinking her visit from Kyle was that morning…it was the day before.

Eileen, Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump looked on in horror.

Also in this episode: Yolanda Foster prepped for her trip to Europe and Lisa Vanderpump helped her son search for his birth parents.

Next week: The battle for Kim continues.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays, 9 p.m. on Bravo.
