The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (2010–…): Season 12, Episode 4 - The Crystal Conundrum - full transcript

Crystal talks through her differences with the group, but the conversation takes an unexpected detour when she brings up old wounds--a stunning revelation that leaves Kyle completely confused. Erika tries to justify her stance on ...

Previously, on
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"...

We're on this path of our
friendship, and I like it.

Sutton and I are in
a really good place now,

and we talked about, kind of,
our issues from last year.

What are you gonna do
for your event?

What are you planning?

Parisian in L.A.

I mean, you like
that theme, always.

I'll never get away
from widows and orphans,

even though it's not true.

[glass shattering]



I thought, "This is it.
I'm gonna die."

It's terrifying.

I've been putting out fires
all day today, too.

I've got this French designer
that I'm bringing in,

and immigration is...

- What is wrong with you?
- I was empathetic.

- No actually weren't, Sutton.
- Yes, I was, Kyle.

It's really inappropriate
to tell someone

they feel wrong.

You guys went on
a very strong campaign,

every single one of you,
to police my feelings.

Going back a year.

This is a very different
situation.

My feelings are irrelevant



- to them.
- No, not true.

Stop! I'm done.

Are you out of your
****ing mind?

I'm leaving.

This is not
a safe space for me.

[devious music]

I don't need the spotlight.

I shine just fine.

Hi, I'm karma,

and yes, I am a bitch.

You can take all my things

and you won't have taken
a thing that matters.

The only thing better
than having it all

is having even more.

If you want a seat
at my table,

you best mind your manners.

They say talk is cheap,

but in Beverly Hills,
it can cost you.

I have nothing to hide
and nothing to lose,

and that makes me dangerous.

When you're the real deal,

you don't have to pretend.

Episode Title: "The Crystal Conundrum"
Aired on: June 01, 2022.

♪ ♪

What's up?
[crosstalk]

Hi, Miguel.
It's Kyle Um an sky. How are you?

Good, thank you.
Can we get four bloody Marys

and two mimosas
sent to the house?

Thank you so much. Bye.
Five to ten minutes.

I didn't sleep a wink
last night.

At all?
Why didn't you call some...

- Like, knock on my door?
- What am I gonna...

I'm gonna wake you up
to tell you I'm...

Yes!

That is so selfish.
I would never do that.

Every time I close my eyes,
there's a lot of things

going on in my head...
Anxieties and fears.

All I want is to be able
to put it behind me,

where I can feel
a little bit more

like myself, pre-home invasion.

Sometime
Dorit should talk to my mom.

A gazillion percent.

She didn't even know
about her mother's...

Until I was 18.

I should not even be here.

- You shouldn't even be here.
- I know.

A few years before I was born,

my mom was attacked
by a man that she worked with.

Had he killed anybody
yet to that point?

- Not at that point.
- He became a serial killer.

Dorit's trauma, it's on
that same level of violation.

And Lois lived through it.

And she's had a beautiful life

after going through
life-altering trauma.

She's a survivor,
and that's Dorit.

Did you talk to Sutton?

Sutton's having breakfast
with Crystal and Diana.

Oh, good.

So they're not coming here?

They're not coming here
'cause Crystal...

Yeah, I texted her
last night,

and she was, like,
"I wanna go home."

My feelings are irrelevant
to them.

- No, not true, Crystal.
- Stop! I'm done.

What are you doing?
That is not true.

It is! Get real.

There has to be something
more to this,

to have such a strong reaction.

What would be her trigger?

Maybe she felt like we were
caring more about

Dorit than we cared
about how she felt last year.

Even though, like I said,
they're apples and oranges.

In my interpretation, Crystal
came in to defend Sutton, said,

"Well, she's allowed
to feel that way.

You guys didn't validate
my feelings."

- Ahh
- Right.

That was what
I was getting from it.

I don't know if that's right.

We're, like,
detectives right now.

[doorbell dings]
Hold on, I'm doing...

- Where's our Bloody Marys?
- Oh, yeah.

It's probably at
the front door, sh...

- What, they just drop 'em off?
- Hold on.

- I'll bring 'em to you.
- Yeah.

I want a club that just
drops off bloody Marys.

The bloody Mary fairy came.

Okay, I'm gonna try Crystal.
[line ringing]

Pass that to Erika.

- Yum!
- Is it good?

- Hello?
- Hey, it's Garcelle.

Hi, Garcelle.

Hi. How are you?

I'm really great.

I'm always
being facetious.

Do you wanna talk?
Do you wanna come by?

Um, is everyone there?

Everybody's, you know,
worried and don't know

what triggered you.

So they don't know
what triggered me?

No. I mean, I think what
triggered... is it because

you've... you didn't
feel validated, right?

Can I, very rudely...

do this?

Why is it rude?

Well,
because my fingers are wet.

There's nothing rude
about it.

Wipe your hands on it.
Do whatever you need.

Shh! I'm trying to listen.

Shh. She's eavesdropping.

I think it's your reaction.
They didn't realize

you were holding
all this stuff from last year.

Just come and clear the air,
and we can all go home,

you know,
feeling like you're okay.

I don't want Crystal
leaving La Quint a

without us
having a conversation.

I don't want another year
to go by,

and we don't talk
about this again.

Okay.
I'll stop by for ten minutes.

Yay! Awesome.
I'll see you soon.

- Okay.
- Okay, bye

Okay.

I convinced her to come
for ten minutes

just to talk it out,
I said this is a good place.

- Oh, good. Good.
- Honey, this great.

Better place to talk here
than at Sutton's party.

No, Bambi.
We're not giving you the ball.

I can't believe it was
a year ago we were all here.

Honey, what a year?

- One year ago staying here...
- My life was such a shamble.

- On this sofa.
- I hate that sofa.

Erika, I feel like,
you're, like, night and day.

- I feel night and day.
- Right?

When I was here a year ago,
it was soul crushing.

And I'm so glad that we've
moved past all our sh...

Well, time heals. It does.
Time heals.

I'd also like to
thank you all for accepting me

for the wild animal that I was.

So let me tell
the... ing story.

This small town,
I'm so worried about

my mother... in' reputation,
you shut up.

Don't talk to me like that.

- Or what?
- Seriously.

Or what?

I was so backed into
a... ing corner every day.

And when you go through
something like this,

it really is all encompassing.

It's every part of your life.
It's where you live,

it's your marriage,
it's your finances,

and, you know,
trying to protect yourself.

And then, you finally get over
the bridge a little bit,

and you go...
[exhales]

You can at least
catch your breath.

You know, I'm far from done,

but I can at least
catch my breath now.

12 months now, I have been
dragged through the mud

for something that I didn't do,
never happened.

I think one of the reasons
though, is that

you didn't show any compassion.

You didn't show, like,
"Oh, my God,

I hope it didn't
really happen."

But hold on. I really hoped
it didn't, but I...

I know, but you
didn't say that.

Yeah, but I can't.

- Why can't you say that?
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Because when you're in
a legal situation like that,

every word counts.

We're not even sure that there
were people that weren't paid.

You're saying that
we don't know for a fact

that these people weren't paid,
this victims?

That's right.
That's exactly right.

You mean that there's
a chance

- that they could be lying?
- There's a chance.

- No way!
- Yeah, way.

Coming up...

When you and Sutton
had your thing, I felt like,

no matter what she said,

you were going to say,
"Are you that girl?"

I have been dragged
through the mud

for something that I didn't do,
never happened.

We're not even sure that there
were people that weren't paid.

- No way!
- Yeah, way.

These victims
are regular people.

Why would they be
coming after Tom?

Why would all these lawsuits
come about if they were paid?

They would just go
live their lives.

We still don't have
all the facts,

that's what I keep saying.
This isn't wrapped up.

It doesn't matter
what someone claims.

It also snows in Pasadena.

So you're saying that
we don't know for a fact

that these people weren't paid,
these victims?

That's right.
Exactly right.

You mean that there's
a chance they could be lying?

There's a chance.

You can allege anything
in a lawsuit, Garcelle.

And you could sue
for anything.

There was a period when
I walked past the tabloids.

I saw my face multiple times
and I thought,

"These bad stories
are sticking."

Why? Because they want them
to be true.

Most of people who have
no inkling of the truth,

they don't want
to know the truth.

All they want is
for Erika to fail,

and that is not happening,
ever.

And I don't care who likes me
or who doesn't.

I can't admit to something
that I don't know happened.

The best way I can serve those

who have been
rightfully wronged

is to roll up my sleeves
and comply,

which is what I've done.

Crystal's here.
Crystal's here

- Oh, hi.
- Hi, Crystal.

- There she is.
- Hi, guys.

The lady of the hour.
Hey, Crystal.

I am tipsy! I can say it!
[laughs]

I'm lit.

I think they're
still having brunch there.

And then they head back.

♪ ♪

Hey.
Both: Hi.

You're so fancy. I'm like...
Look, I look like I...

- You look smoking, see.
- Oh, my gosh.

- You want something to eat?
- Wow, this is really...

How many people
are you expecting?

I got all these
containers to go.

I can have, like,
a little bagel, maybe.

I had some bacon.

I keep eating bacon. I haven't
eaten meat in so long,

but there's something about
bacon that I cannot resist.

And pigs are really smart
and sweet, like me.

A bacon-eating vegetarian
is not a thing.

Doesn't exist.

So, last night...

- What happened?
- Oh, no.

I was, like, "Wait, what?
This is Crystal, Dorit now.

- It's not the...
- What just happened?

I know.
And then I was like,

"Why are you crying?"

Because it sort of came
from nowhere in the corner.

Yeah. Everybody has
different triggers.

What triggers you?

Like, somebody just makes
fun of my accent.

Like, that goes back to people
laughing at me.

- It's really low. It's low.
- Yeah.

And then when they say, like,
stupid stuff about my country.

And I go, like, "Well, can you
point it in a map?"

Like, who's stupid here?
The thing is I'm a Leo.

I can handle confrontation,
I really can.

Yeah, I don't
mind confrontation.

I don't like screaming.

I grew up in Bosnia.

Unless you shout,
nobody hears you.

I used to be so aggressive,
like, so aggressive.

And was I scared,
really scared.

Because of where
you came from.

Yeah, 'cause you just...
And then, I've realized

what you're doing.

I give everybody one chance.

Coming from somebody that
grew up in Sarajevo ghetto,

I used to be very angry
with the world, very explosive.

I've tried to develop empathy.

But at the same time, you don't
get multiple chances with me

because first time,
shame on you.

Second time, shame on me.

I don't like that.

With these women,

you are gonna have to
give them more than one chance.

[laughs]
So I just give them...

I think that maybe
several chances.

Okay, how many?
I need to write that down.

Because we just mess up
sometimes.

[laughter]

Crystal, let's talk about
how you felt,

and how you're feeling.

I feel like I'm in some
weird, like, therapy commune.

None of us are licensed.

- Okay, good.
- We wanna understand.

We don't want you to feel
like you weren't

heard last night.

Yeah.
I wanna be really clear.

I wanna, get through
this conversation today,

and I don't wanna
talk about it again.

So what triggered me
was I actually don't...

[dramatic music]

Take your time, my darling.

What was upsetting me
last night was, you know,

when I was struggling last year
with Sutton

and I was telling you guys
how I felt,

I was... I felt like there was
a massive campaign

to try and negate
how I was feeling.

To me, violation of privacy
has to be intentional.

Exactly. That's the truth.

- Violation's a little strong.
- It is not.

Violation is a big word.

It's not easy just to pour
my heart out to you guys

when all I'm being told

is a word
I'm using was too strong.

The focus shifted to something
that was really not the focus.

So what triggered me was that
I've been holding on to that.

You said,
"I don't feel safe last night."

- Yeah.
- What does that mean?

In my emotions in this group.

That's how I felt last year.
That's why I shut down a lot.

This doesn't look like
a safe space for you?

I'm trying.

You know, I'm trying

Saying something like,

"I don't feel like
I'm in a safe space,"

just because a group of adult
women don't agree with you.

Sweetheart, this is a vacation

compared to
what I went through.

Because of everyone's
reaction, I chose to...

My God, this dog
is a... ing...

This dog is vicious!

Go ahead. Crystal.

- Relentless.
- I am so sorry.

- It's okay.
- He's relentless.

I'm sorry if I made you feel
like that, not heard.

I really... I always think
I'm a fixer,

- and try to patch things up.
- I appreciate that.

A fixer and a stirrer?

No, I actually
try to fix things.

Half and half.

Trust me, I actually
do try to fix things.

This is my idea
of Kyle fixing.

Need I say more?

Okay, I'm gonna
ask you a favor.

Can you just not wait one year
and hold something in

that's bothering you that much?

- For sure. Yeah, yeah.
- Okay. I like that.

Can I just say,
if I'm going to be 100% honest.

I've been holding on to this.

And I know what I'm about
to say maybe explosive.

- Uh-oh.
- Oh, God.

I feel that when you
and Sutton had your thing.

Are you one of those people
that you don't see color?

Tell me you're that girl,
"I don't see color."

I felt like no matter
what she said,

she could've said
the sky is blue.

You were going to say,
"Are you that girl?"

'Cause I just felt
like it was a setup.

Now that you know me,
do you still think that?

- I don't know.
- Oh, okay.

I'm totally blindsided
by Garcelle's comment.

You think
based on my entire personality

that you've known
for the last two years,

that that's something
I would do?

It's so out of line,
and so out of my character.

- You were there.
- No, I wasn't.

You were there.

There was a lot more said
prior to that

- that was very dark.
- Oh, okay.

♪ ♪

- Oh, wow.
- See? And do you know...

I wish we would've
known that.

If that's your friend
that you're standing up for,

why would you then
just say that

"She said some other things
that are really dark

and really bad."

I would be pissed
if I were Sutton.

It was the very first time
I had spoken to Sutton.

- In Tahoe in, the bar.
- You were there.

I know, but don't remember
that part.

You probably blocked it out
of your head. You were drunk.

I do remember
that conversation with Sutton.

She's not here to explain,
and now we're saying

she's done something dark,
and I wasn't... I don't...

Okay, we're not going there.
[phone ringing]

- Hi, honey.
- We're not gonna bring it up.

I'm gonna tell you
that right now.

Oh, my God.
Your hair looks crazy.

Can I ask, now that
we brought it up, what is it?

Can I just ask?

- No.
- No, you're not gonna say it?

Nope. No.

When you say,
"I don't wanna say what it is,"

you allow the person
that you just told it to

to fill in the blanks

with the worst
possible sh... ever.

If it's that bad, then don't
...in' bringing it up at all.

I'm so excited for you.

I love you too, honey. Bye.

Wait till I tell the girls.

- My son, Oliver.
- Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
everything's great.

He just got a great job
working for somebody you know.

- Who?
- PK?

Lisa Vanderpump.

What?
[laughter]

I don't know her, but...

Garcelle, the best way home,
I'll send your stuff,

just walk through there.

Up the mountain.

I'ma up my Lexapro.

On that note, let's go home.

Los Angeles, where we belong.

Coming up...

There was a man
taking pictures over my fence.

It just made me think
that someone's, like...

Baby, can you get me

Honey, how many Diet Cokes
have you had today?

I have had two.

I don't like water
as much as Diet Coke.

Well...

But yeah, we can do that.

I told you, my new view on life
with you is two words.

- What's that?
- Yes, darling.

PK has diabetes,

yet he refuses
to change his lifestyle.

It's just stress
on top of stress,

given what I'm going through.

You've been very, very,
very supportive, my love.

- You really have.
- Well, I hope so, baby.

I do worry about
what you're leaving inside.

I mean, PK,
I'm holding it together.

But I know when
I leave this house,

there's something inside of me.
There's an anxiety.

It's like my reactions are not
the way they used to be.

Right now, my new normal
is palpitating anxiety

and navigating triggers.

My kids come in my room
every night. They always have.

Now, that sound
of my bedroom door opening.

[gasping]
I almost can't catch my breath.

I don't know what I'm gonna
feel at any given moment.

I wanna process this,
and I wanna get to a place

where I can put it behind.
I wanna heal, PK,

because I know
that it's deep inside of me.

I get it. I get it.

Why don't you take
a few days off,

ring a few of the ladies,
and go and have some fun?

Punta Mita,
that's where you go.

Go there.
It's so close by flying.

- It's not far.
- Just go.

Go and have a few days.

- What if I feel anxious, babe?
- Then you'll come home.

I will say,
just even you mentioning it,

there's something
that feels like...

That would feel nice.

Nothing.

No, I've got to be able

So only new shows? I wanna

I spoke to Rinna,

"Ladies, I was just told
Lois had a stroke,

"so I'm going up to Medford.

"I don't know any more
as of now,

but please keep her
in your prayers."

She had a very frank
conversation with the doctor.

And basically, it said,

right now it's just about
making her comfortable.

We're at the
place right now,

and, you know, we're gonna
have to put her in hospice.

She has
a very strong directive

that we are not gonna
to resuscitate her.

We are not to give her
a feeding tube.

I went through this
with my mom.

She also couldn't talk
at the end,

but she understood everything.

But my mom had us take her out
of hospice and bring her home.

She didn't want
to be in hospice,

and she didn't want
to pass away in hospice.

She wanted to be home with us.

And, like, also with a nurse

that could
keep her comfortable.

No. Kim and I were doing it.

I know, it was not easy.

One time, Kim and I
were trying to bathe my mom,

and we were, like,
almost dropping her.

I had a nice Muay Thai lesson
this morning for two hours.

You know, Sutton's having
her store opening.

Well, not store opening,
but she's having a designer

- come in from Paris.
- Got it.

And I'm not going.

You know, the invitation
was sent in a group.

And after everybody was going
around kissing each other's ass

and apologizing for everything,
and I said,

"Where's my apology?"

And she's like,
"I'm gonna giving you one."

And I just, you know,
I think I, like,

stood up and said,
"(BLEEP) you."

- Where's my apology?
- You're not getting one.

- Why not?
- Because I don't like you.

Oh, good.
This is a mutual thing.

Yeah, never.

Go (BLEEP) yourself.

Can't make it.
I have a date with a vibrator.

Listen, I gotta be honest.

I am so glad I am not
getting dressed tonight.

I don't have to
put on anything.

I don't have to slap
on a fake smile

and pretend to be nice.

You know what? No.

- Love it.
- Love it.

No, that's not cool.

[laughter]

Let me ask you a question.

Is everything okay with,
like, you and Crystal?

- Yeah.
- I'm asking because we had

a very awkward conversation
at my house.

There was a lot more said
that was very dark.

Crystal says something.

What you said was so dark,
she couldn't say.

And I said,
"That didn't happen."

I still have no idea
what Crystal is talking about

that Sutton said
that was so dark.

Either Crystal is confused
or I'm confused,

and my money's on Crystal.

I know that.
That's what I was saying.

I don't know
why we're going backwards.

I don't wanna relive that.
I don't wanna rehash that.

When you go through something,
like Crystal and I did,

and you grow out of it
and you get better,

then let that tree stand tall.

Don't try to cut the tree down.

I'm remaining calm
because I know

that I didn't say anything

that I should be ashamed of

or anything dark.

- We're good.
- We're good.

- Oh!
- That's okay.

We're talking about
the conversation in La Quint a.

Real quick. I just feel like
what she alluded to made me

feel like it was something
that would change our dynamic,

if you had said
something crazy.

[dramatic music]

Watch your back

That's all I'm saying.

♪ ♪

Coming up...

Just say what she said.

She said
something problematic.

Defend yourself without
saying something

that you're not
prepared to say.

What Crystal alluded to
made me feel like

it was something
that would change our dynamic,

if you had said
something crazy.

Watch your back
with your new friend.

That's all I'm saying.

Friendship is supposed
to be about trust.

And the minute Crystal
felt cornered,

she threw Sutton under the bus.

So I don't know how
this friendship is gonna work.

I don't want to go backwards.

Even if there was something

that said that
could be not great for you?

Let's just move forward
and work together, you know,

because that's sisterhood.

I'm confused.
The Sutton I knew a year ago

was so sensitive
and emotional about everything.

You kicked me!

No, no, no, I kicked you

because I didn't wanna
ruin the joke.

Dude, you're so uptight. Relax.

This helps me

because I feel
so uncomfortable.

He's gonna ruin my life,
and then say...

- That's not gonna happen.
- That's not gonna happen.

That's not gonna happen.
It's not gonna happen.

I want all of us
to be positive.

I don't know if Sutton
took some happy pills tonight

because there is nothing here,

zero emotion, completely numb.

Can y'all stop talking
about me behind my back?

I would love that.

And your dress
is on backwards.

I need to sit down soon.

Let's go find you

- Clearly this is outrageous.
- Isn't it pretty?

- Yes.
- And this is ready to wear.

I haven't worn heels
in two years.

Oh, honey.

- I know.
- [laughs]

Oh, my God.
My bra is falling off.

Holy sh...

Sutton obviously
doesn't wanna go back there.

I get that. But you can't
just say it was so awful.

And by putting that out there
and leaving it open

for people to guess and assume,

people are gonna
assume the worst.

- Hi.
- Hey.

What's going on?

Well, we're actually talking
about La Quint a

and that conversation
that happened.

- At the house?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Here's what I wanna say.

In that conversation,
Garcelle had feelings.

And instead of just
defending yourself,

you all of a sudden brought up
Sutton,

that she said something
so dark and horrible.

I was there,
and she didn't say anything

- "Oh, my God," horrific.
- Here's the thing.

You don't remember it,
and that's fine.

Quit telling me that,
Crystal.

I don't like that.
I do remember.

[dramatic music]

It probably
doesn't affect you.

In fact, I'm sure
it doesn't affect you the way

it would affect me
or probably Garcelle.

So you gotta tell me
what she said.

- No.
- Because right now,

in my mind,
I'm thinking the worst.

Here we go again
with Crystal's word choice.

Dark is a very dangerous word
because it could be something

that would make me question
our friendship,

and where Sutton stands
when it comes to race.

Okay, I'm gonna
be really clear.

If we continue
this conversation,

I don't want to be told
the word dark is too much,

and then we're gonna focus
on a word.

Okay.
Well, then don't say dark.

Just say what she said.

She said
something problematic.

It's obviously something
that was forgivable.

Is it forgivable?

But then why bring up
at La Quint a, though?

- Right, if it's forgivable.
- Because the question

you asked me is very damaging.

Garcelle accusing me
of setting up Sutton

is a massive accusation.

If someone's accused of murder,
would a simple,

"No, I didn't," suffice?
Likely not.

- Can I come?
- I feel...

Please. Please come.

You're either going to say,
"No, I didn't,"

or, "No, I didn't it,
and here's my alibi.

To me, that's all I had.

- Whatever...
- Well, I'm sorry.

I'm interrupting
your conversation.

No, it's okay. It's okay.

No, it involves you.

- Oh, great.
- And you should be here.

Well, because normally,
I'm not around when it happens.

Obviously.

When Crystal brought up
her feelings,

we were all talking,
and I said to her,

"If I can be completely honest,

I felt like
you were setting Sutton up."

- And so she said...
- And I said, "The conversation

was not prefaced that way."

But then you said
it was very dark.

Listen, we've already
done that night.

- We've done this.
- I've apologized.

And I actually have learned
a lot, and I've changed a lot.

And I don't know
what was said exactly.

I just want...
And I truly mean this,

I cannot take it

unless we just go forward.

I can't.

Well,
that sounds nice on paper.

I think Sutton is so afraid

that she said something
that she doesn't remember,

that she just wants
this topic dropped.

But I was there.

I heard everything.

That's not what happened.

Okay, can I just
say something?

My take on it was, you,
in defending yourself,

- opened up a can of worms.
- Yes.

But defend yourself
without saying

something that
you're not prepared to say.

It would've never
been enough, Dorit.

But it's still not enough

because you're not prepared
to share.

Well, then,
that's enough for me.

Crystal knows
what she's doing.

You're creating
the worst-case scenario.

Then, to add insult to injury,

you are refusing
to say with that is.

That's playing dirty. It's low.

The thing is the can of worms
that she opened,

they are expired,
they're dead.

Who's dead? The worms?

The worms are dead, Diana,

And you see why
it's hard to follow?

Suddenly, all I hear...

That's hilarious.

See? It's hard.

I'm gonna be clear
about this.

I get a question, I have to
answer and defend myself.

That's it.

Okay. So why did you use
the word dark, then?

Why didn't you just say...

Oh, we talked about this,
Garcelle.

Do not keep telling me
what words to use.

How is dark a strong word?

It's one syllable,
four letters.

It's only one vowel.

I mean, that's
a pretty simple word to me.

What do you need?

I'm not looking for anything.

You are the one
that planted the seed.

But now, you two are great.
So that's fantastic.

But what about everybody else
that you leave in the rubble?

I never wanted to bring
this up ever,

because she and I resolved it.

And it's resolved.

Here goes Crystal again
with a new word,

but it's not resolved at all.

If someone's gonna question
my integrity,

that's where I'm gonna stop.

'Cause I know where I stand,
period, at all times.

Okay.

session today.

It's gonna bring up a lot,

but you're gonna have to work
through that anyway.

It's really gonna help you.

It's definitely something

inside of me.

You know, I was talking
to George last night,

and he made
a really valuable point.

And he said, "You know what?

Those robbers,
they've taken your belongings.

They've invaded
and violated your home.

Don't let them
take your business.

Don't let them take your life,
and get on with it."

The robbers took a lot
of material things

that I don't care about,
but they took so much more.

They've taken away my ability

Yes, she's coming any second.

- All right?

I'm gonna just get
my little setup going here.

While you're doing that,

I'm just
gonna to tell you that...

Please, please.

So I went to my friend's
store last night,

and it jarred me in a way.

And I was like, "I don't know
if I could do this."

And then I was telling myself,
you know, like,

"Dorit, you've done
this before. It's okay."

But it really was
kind of affecting me.

EMDR came recommended to me.

It is a type of therapy that is
very good for trauma victims.

From what you've told me,

your home
has become your cocoon, right?

Yes.

When you're outside
of this zone that is safe,

which is your home,

you're gonna start
feeling activated.

That's a totally
normal response.

Yeah.

What it's supposed to do
is help reprogram the brain

so that you can think of that
traumatizing moment,

and associate it with feelings
that bring you peace and joy.

So I'm gonna
hand these to you.

You have these pulsars
in your hands,

and they vibrate
in intense frequencies.

And when that's happening,
we're stimulating sort of

rapid right brain, left brain,
right brain,

left brain activity,

similar to what we experience
when we're sleeping.

We're reprocessing all of the
events that happen in the day.

When a traumatic event
has happened

in the last three months,
we separate it by frames

'cause that's the way that
the memory is stored early on.

I want you to think of the
frame of being on the ground

with a gun to your head,
and the words, "I'm not safe."

Notice the emotions that
come up right now in your body.

Where do you feel them
in your body?

My chest.

Yes. Allow your mind to go
where it needs to go.

I went from, "I'm not safe,"
to thinking about my kids.

Go with that please,
thinking about your kids.

Just notice that
and go with it.

[crying]

Just let whatever
comes up come up.

And take a breath.

Oh, God forbid anything
ever happens to them.

I can't shake this feeling.

Yes. Tell me the feeling.

Is just this...

So scared, so worried, so
afraid, so sad, so...

Know that you're safe
right here, right now.

When I close my eyes,
I can see the headline,

"Mother Found Dead
in Her Bedroom,

and the Kids Shot Dead
in Their Bed."

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God,
that thought is gonna haunt me

for the rest of my life.

Take a moment. Take a breath.

It's just right now
it feels like...

I feel very far
from where I need to be.

I feel like I have
a lot of work to do.
