It's still weird to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' new season knowing that Taylor Armstrong's husband, Russell, has since committed suicide.

But you know the saying, the show must go on.

This week, the Housewives all got together to enjoy Camille Grammer's Colorado home in Beaver Creek before having to sell the beautiful estate due to her divorce settlement.

So what went on in the snow?

Chatty Kimmy: When first introduced to the group, Kim Richards had her reservations, but tonight we saw the single blonde talking everyone's ear off by telling stories and starting conversations with strangers. And yes, most of those strangers were men.

A Trifle of Tiffs: We saw Adrienne Maloof and her hubby Paul Nassif get into last week, and their annoyance with each other continued to tonight's episode, but it's understandable. The two of them lead stressful lives and it can be brought back home. So, we're not worried about it. However, another issue from last week was revisited on this trip: Lisa Vanderpump's husband Ken's remark about people who seek therapy being "weak." Kyle Richards asked Lisa if he was mad at her for arguing with him. Well, Lisa sticks to her reasoning that he is entitled to his opinion. This is when Taylor chimes in and mentions that no one asked for it. Burn!

Camille 2.0: Hello upgrade! Camille, even through a difficult time, has been radiating a much more personable glow. Her frenemie Kyle can't stop talking about it, either. Camille seemed a lot happier and was telling some pretty funny jokes. Yes, they were pretty much all bagging on ex Kelsey Grammer, but they were still entertaining.

VIP Service: Of course these ladies don't do anything without elegance and class. But we were all a little jealous of their mini-vacation. Not only did they stay in a gorgeous home with breath-taking views of the Rockies, they had ski concierge fit them for boots! Then, after triumphing the powdered slopes (some better than others), they were all served warm chocolate chip cookies by a personal chef.

Taylor's Confessions: We know now the outcome of Taylor's troubled marriage, so watching her confess her fears with her marriage broke our hearts. Armstrong tells BFF Kyle that even after being alone her whole life, she is terrified to have to feel alone again and therefore, is fighting to make her marriage work. But our questions of what exactly went wrong and what is making her so emotional and angry go unanswered. All she shared was that she was scared and tired. And that she really loved Russell.

Coming Up: Things get too tough to handle for Taylor, who looks like she's headed for a nervous breakdown. Meanwhile, a phone conversation between Adrienne and Kim causes Paul to tell his wife that Kyle's sister sounds intoxicated.
