RHONY S4, E6: Half a Costume
In Season 4 Episode 6, “A Mask for Two Faces,” the ladies of Manhattan face the reality that in New York’s high society, appearances are everything—but beneath the glitter, old wounds and hidden agendas emerge.
- Hostess Sonja Morgan enlists acclaimed designer Chris March to craft an over-the-top costume for her upcoming masquerade ball—complete with feathers, wigs, and a full-on fashion spectacle.
- At the ball and a launching party for Ramona's new Pinot Grigio, tensions flare when Ramona Singer confronts longtime foil Jill Zarin over what she claims Jill has said behind her back. The confrontation ends with tears and friendships in peril.
- Meanwhile, newcomer Cindy Barshop and Jill take a dental appointment together, showing an odd alliance—yet Cindy’s silence and Jill’s dominance raise questions about power dynamics in the group.
- The episode’s theme of duality becomes literal: behind every mask and smile is a second face, a hidden motive, a whisper. Whether it's costumes, social maneuvering, or personal loyalty, the question lingers—who’s truly being real?
This episode underscores how in the Big Apple, even the most glamorous events can disguise fractures, and the mask you wear may be the first clue that you’re hiding something.
