Here we are, the women of Real Housewives of New York City are off! They've left the Big Apple. Will this be another Scary Island? Another Slutty Island? Berkshires Blowout? Time will tell. So far the Miami trip has been all setup, with Bethenny Frankel harnessing a bombshell regarding Luann de Lesseps' new man.

What is this bombshell? It arrived in the form of texts late at night, 2:30 a.m., apparently. These texts "are so incriminating" that she "can't imagine how it wouldn't blow up the whole engagement," she said.

"This could possibly mean that the wedding would be canceled," she warned. And they all check out apparently. "I have to tell her," she said. "It's crazy."

Obviously it involves Tom D'Agostino. The whole episode did and he only appeared for about 45 seconds.

Luann had a party on a boat in Palm Beach to celebrate her engagement and leading up to it, Ramona Singer could not stop talking about Luann giving an interview that apparently named her as Tom's former friends with benefits and not Sonja Morgan. Carole Radziwill was just there because of her journalistic interest to find the trip. "I got to be honest, I am curious. Tom has dated three of my friends and now he's marrying one and they're all going to be on the same small boat together and I've got to see what this guy is all about with my own eyes."

Carole is all of us. It turns out she did meet Tom once when she was out with Ramona and he was flirty. "He was a player for sure, but like I said: BL—Before Lu—I couldn't give a flying leap," Luann said, admitting that she also was a bit of a player and dated around.

Meanwhile, Sonja was having a hard time coming to terms with seeing Tom for the first time now that they're no longer lovers. "This is very awkward because I lost a companion, I lost a lover and I lost a dinner date. She keeps saying but that's before Lu and it's very dismissive to me because I am BL," Sonja said. "I am Before Lu, I'm sucking it up for AL, for After Lu."

Rocky waters ahead for The Real Housewives of New York City at sea as the party gets into full swing. Then, the text storm makes landfall when Bethenny meets up with the rest of the cast in Miami.

The Real Housewives of New York City airs Wednesdays, 9 p.m. on Bravo.
