Season 8, Episode 13: ‘Sophie’s Choice’

Previously on Ladies of Twitter…Leah and Tyler bonded over wine and gossip. Tanya attempted to show Leah, Sophie, and Tyler her side of the story when it came to Nick and Brian’s salon scene. Nick hosted a dinner party to invite the women on a trip to Egypt but arguing ensued as Sophie and Tyler went toe to toe over comments about Tyler’s first marriage, leaving the group divided as they prepare for Egypt.

The camera pans across Twitter as we see shots of all the ladies aside from Tanya preparing for their trip to Egypt. Shots are then seen of Tanya at a hair styling convention, where she will be for the first day of the trip, before joining late. The camera then zooms in on Tyler with her husband, preparing for the trip, at home.

Tyler Confessional: I’m at the house and packing my bags for this trip, but I want to touch bases with my love before we go.

Zack: So babe, are you excited to go to Egypt with the ladies?

Tyler: Well babe, I’m apprehensive, I’ve had a lot of tension with some of the ladies. It was nice of Nick to invite me, it just seems aside from Leah, problems are everywhere in this group.

Zack: What’s been going on?

Tyler: Well Brian And I aren’t where we once were, it seems people are always in the middle of us. I don’t know why or how, but we just can’t unite. And then there are these new girls, Tanya and Sophie. One is a mess box and one is a trick! I can’t. It’s always drama, it’s just exhausting.

Zack: Are you on better terms with Nick now though?

Tyler: Well we are and we aren’t. It’s just ebbs and flows, I’m trying though because Brian cares so much about him.

Zack: Well hopefully you ladies can leave the drama here in Twitter.

Tyler: When has that been the case in this group? *laughs* But all aboard

The scene then shifts across town and we see Brian in his luxury townhouse packing up for the trip with his assistant Tina.

Brian Confessional: Well Nick calls me and tells me he’s arranging a trip…to Egypt! I wish it was just me, him, and Tyler going but I have a feeling he invited more.

Brian: No, no, Nooo TINA! JEEZ! I need the bigger bag.

Tina: Should we use the bags under your eyes then?

Brian: Number one, screw you. Number two, you know I have a lot going on right now. I haven’t been sleeping much.

Tina: I know, I know. You need this trip to relax!

Brian: But I’m worried about my babi-

Tina: *cuts Brian off* Stop, Stop, Stop! I will be taking care of the babies with your health and wellness guru. We have a whole plan mapped out for them!

Brian: I’m just at my breaking point and this trip will be relaxing or not so relaxing.

Tina: Just stay with Tyler and Nick. They will have your back. Try to keep away from Tyler’s friend that looks like that one who got disqualified from the Kentucky derby!

Brian: The Jockey?

Tina: NO! The Horse!

As the scene shifts, we go to Leah’s house where she’s lying on the bed talking to her husband Apollo.

Leah: So babe…. I can’t believe we’re about to go to Egypt! I can’t wait to see the pyramids and the artifacts! Gonna be so amazing!

Apollo: Yeah it will be. But none of you get along *laughs*

Leah: Ummm somewhat… it’s a struggle. Sophie and I have…been cordial. Brian is refusing to accept reality and taking it out on anyone. But I digress…

Apollo: So how do you it intend to handle it?

Leah: I’m going to continue to be my gracious self and just keep my composure. NO ONE is getting me out of character.

Apollo: I mean are you gonna tell Brian that you met with his producers about your own show?

Leah: If it comes up then maybe, but we will see.

Apollo: Just don’t get arrested in Egypt. Too much shit going on to have to bail you out *laughs* Now how many times can we have sex before you leave?

Leah: Well uhhh *stares at camera* why don’t you meet me in the bathroom daddy *winks*

Apollo: *starts stripping in front of camera* YESSSS MAMA!!

As they walk into the bathroom, the camera shifts to Sophie’s family mansion where we see her butler carrying her luggage out to the car waiting to take her to the airport.

Sophie Confessional: So today I’m packing up for Egypt and this is my first girls trip in a long time. Hope all goes well for Sophie!

Sophie: *kneels on one knee to talk to my children* Mommy is gonna be back real soon okay. Mommy is going on a well-needed vacation. Grandfather Blake and your new grandmother will be here to love you while I am away. *one of her kids starts to cry as I hug them begging me not to leave*
I’ll be back buddy. I’ll bring you something spectacular back, okay?

Sophie: *hugs my children before leaving Starz Manor as a tear comes down her face as I am seen putting on sunglasses* Fun times Sophie! Fun times!

The camera then shifts to Nick’s beach house where we see her with her husband putting the finishing touches on her packing.

Nick: Did you remember to pick up my Ambien? You know I have to be passed out to fly.

Jim: For the 6th time today, yes! I upped your dosage so you should be out for most of the flight.

Nick: That’s probably for the best, I think I’m sitting next to Tyler!

Jim: What is it with you two? Isn’t he Brian’s cousin or something?

Nick: He’s just kind of a snooze fest! And he’s always crying about something… shit, what time is it? Fuck! I’m going to be late! *grabs bags and runs towards the SUV waiting outside*

The SUV Nick gets into then swings by Brian’s townhouse and Tyler’s home and picks both of them up as they planned to ride to the airport together. Once they all get in and sit in the backseat together.

Brian: Hi girls, who’s excited?

Tyler: ME! I’m so ready to get out of Twitter.

Nick: Well my last trip to Egypt wasn’t that great! So here’s to hoping I don’t throw wine on you this time!

Tyler: You missed Nick’s the other night, that was something else…

Brian: What happened?

Tyler: It was just lots of bickering and fussing. I felt bad for Nick. Sophie and I were a large part of it *laughs*

Brian: OH? Why do you feel bad for Nick?

Tyler: Just because it was his home that we were yelling in.

Brian: Ohh. What was the argument about? Nick, pussy got your tongue?

Nick: You know I like Sophie, but she’s a few feathers short of a whole duck.

Nick Confessional: Bless Sophie’s heart, but she doesn’t know much but leads the league in nostril hair.

Tyler: Some bullshit. She brought up my affair and asked where my loyalty lies. Shit like that. She’s just a ding dong

Brian: WHAT? How long ago was that?

Tyler: Exactly. Bringing up my divorce and affair from years ago. Just a fucking fan

Brian: Well I’m not going to let her put you down about that. That’s history. You suffered enough baby cousin

Brian Confessional: Only I can put Tyler down. Just kidding. Who does Sophie think she is? Is she trying to cause problems?

Nick: Well B, I think you’ve suffered more than any of us.

Tyler: Thank you Bri, but I’m with Nick. I’ve told Tanya that she was wrong so many times. But I just want us to have fun in Egpyt.

Brian: I mean, I just don’t get her…she causes issues also! *begins tearing up*

Nick: They just can’t get off on your jock, or whatever you say. Getting off on your jock? I don’t know, but you get where I am going.

Tyler: I’m so sorry for you babe. Nobody deserves to feel terrible.

Tyler Confessional: Do I have questions? Yes. But here and now isn’t the place to ask them

Brian: *wipes tears* YES! It’s get off my jock. They need to get away from me and find a hobby

Nick: *holds Brian’s other hand* On the plus side, none of us have to sit with Tanya on the flight! She’s coming late.

Brian: Can we just have fun? I don’t need any more drama on this trip.

Tyler: All I want is to have fun!

Brian: *car pulls up to airport* Promise?

Nick: YES!! Three brunettes having fun! WOOHOO!

Tyler: Let’s do this ladies!

Brian: YES! Let’s walk like an Egyptian outta here!

As the ladies walk into the airport, we see shots of them getting their tickets and running into Sophie and Leah. The Ladies then all go to the first-class lounge and have a drink until their flight number is called, where we then see the Ladies head on to the plane, followed by shots of an airplane taking off heading towards Egypt!

The scene then shifts to the Ladies arriving in Egypt and being taken to their hotel for check-in. Nick then informs all of the women that he has arranged for them to have drinks inside of a pyramid tonight prior to their first dinner. The shots then change as we see the Ladies getting ready, before going down to a van which transports them to the Pyramid.

Brian Confessional: Drinks in a pyramid? Only Nick Price can pull this off.

Leah Confessional: Helllooo Egypt! This place is so freaking beautiful! Not even these sour pusses can ruin it! Let’s drink bitches

Nick: Who is ready to partayyy??

Tyler: Yess! Everyone looks gorgeous!

Nick: Tyler, I think that’s the first compliment that you’ve ever given me.

Brian: Yess! We love real friendships!

Tyler: Well I don’t know if it’s the first, but it’s progress. Leah, I love those boots wifey!

Brian Confessional: Wifey? Oh please gag me now!

Nick: My grandma had an afghan just like those!

Brian: Okay ladies…I would like to make a toast. Let’s have an amazing and fun trip! Let’s live in the moment! And thank you, Nick, for getting us all under one roof, or pyramid? Cheers!

Tyler: So we are at a bar…did I hear shots??

Nick: Gunshots?

Brian: Who got shot?

Tyler: *laughs* No, alcohol shots!

Brian: Let’s drink up with these ancient mummies!!! These mommies need to get some drinks with those mummies! HA!

Nick: I’ll just stick to my champs…

Brian: SO I heard I missed out on an eventful dinner…was the food good at least?

Sophie Confessional: Brian, puh-lease don’t!

Leah: The food was amazing.

Brian: I guess Nick had it catered then!

Nick: Brian, you know me so well, but it was the dinner from hell! I had to bring a priest to do an exorcism!

Nick Confessional: Of course I had a chef. These ladies don’t look like they eat grilled cheese.

Brian: So are we all good now? Do we need to squash beef?

Tyler: *takes shot* I’m good! Not a fan of squash…*mumbles* or stupid.

Nick: I think I’m owed an apology…my cats were traumatized. I had to bring a cat therapist, and little Henry May never recover!

Sophie: I mean if being called a bitch is a big deal…

Tyler: It isn’t.

Nick: Sophie, Brian called me worse on the flight over.

Brian: I mean, did you slap Tyler? Call him names? I wasn’t there so I know nothing.

Sophie: This isn’t important to me!

Brian: I’m just trying to catch up hun…

Nick: Oh so our friendship isn’t important?

Sophie: It happened, we’re moving on from it. Before I get called an even bigger bitch.

Leah: *rolls eyes* Let’s not play the victim. JESUS!

Tyler: As I’ve said, don’t act a bitch, I won’t call you one.

Sophie: When the time is right, Brian, I will have a conversation with that person.

Tyler: I’m busy that day.

Brian: Well, I’m just trying to enjoy the trip…and having an odd man out is never fun.

Nick: Words to live by, I think Gandhi said it.

Sophie Confessional: Brian needs to simmer down because she’s way too much right now.

Sophie: Great so no conversation then. *shrugs*

Leah: Nick, when is dinner? I’m starving…

Nick: The hotel is waiting on us so let’s head over, get changed, and go for dinner!

The ladies then head back to the hotel and get changed before they begin heading down to the table one by one taking a seat and beginning to order as they take places at the table.

Leah Confessional: Drinks was eventful but I’m almost two sheets to the wind like Tanya! After a long flight, I just want to eat, relax, and sleep. Let’s hope for just a peaceful breaking of bread

Sophie Confessional: Dinner time! Do I really want to be here and eat with them? No, but I’m going to sit and eat my food unless someone starts anything.

Brian: *whispers to Sophie* Are you okay hun?

Sophie: Excuse me?

Brian: I said, are you ok hun? You seemed upset earlier.

Sophie: I was upset earlier, but I don’t want to discuss it.

Brian: Just wanted to check on you…that’s all. Geez.

Tyler: Sophie, I’d like to say something…I thought about it and I’m sorry for calling you a panini

Brian Confessional: A PANINI!? THIS IS GREAT! You can’t make this shit up! When did Tyler get so funny?

Sophie: Okay, whatever…

Tyler: It was rude to talk about you like something so flat and stale. I just wanted to say that

Brian: Can we not just accept apologies now?

Nick: Sophie, just accept it and move on

Sophie: You don’t talk about accepting apologies. I’m not upset about panini part, what I was pissed off about was she called me a bitch and played on my intelligence as if I’m just this dumb blonde bitch, so Brian, stay in your lane.

Tyler: But what did you say to get me there?

Sophie: As I stated on the bus, I am willing to have a conversation with Tyler one on one.

Leah: You’ve called me worse things Sophie and you’re sensitive over bitch?

Sophie: Well, you’ve called me cunt so…

Tyler: Did you talk about my affair two years ago? Did you try and pry into my relationship between Leah and Brian? YES

Brian: WHAT? This involves all of us then…

Tyler: She asked at that table where my loyalty lies. I don’t think she was asking Pepsi or Coke

Nick: Waitress, can I just get mine to go?

Sophie: Yes, I did talk about your affair because that’s public knowledge Tyler. And I don’t believe I was prying into your relationship with Leah and Brian. Some people have questioned your loyalty to Brian.

Tyler: Okay so when Leah talking about your arrest, that’s public knowledge. What was the problem with that? It’s the exact same thing.

Nick: Tyler is right, you know…

Leah: Oh the double standards…

Tyler: It’s a double standard because you said it and you’re perfect. I’m the drunk, evil bitch

Sophie: Leah said I was a felon, that’s inaccurate. She also inaccurately said I had an ankle monitor. Not a bitch exactly…maybe a witch, but never a bitch.

Tyler: *laughs* Are you six? Why can you literally not handle the word bitch? You should be glad I’m using the five-letter word that comes to mind instead of the 4 letter one

Nick: She’s a convict, not a felon.

Leah: You’re not a felon Sophie. You were released from jail for over crowding for a white collar crime. Forgive me *eye roll*

Sophie: Leah, I honestly believe you’re jealous of me. Like, back off of me and attend to your business. Like we literally sat down and agreed to be cordial for the group, but you get next to the mother and switch like a fucking child.

Leah: Jealous of what honey…. your clip ins? You still living with your daddy at 40? Illegitimate children? WHAT? What are you successful at Sophie? Asking your daddy for your allowance? Fucking married men? Crime?

Tyler: Oh I’m mother? *laughs* Here, come suck on the teet Leah, let mommy tell you what to think. She uses Daddy’s checkbook and thinks it’s a personality trait and an excuse for being a bitch

Leah: Tyler, now we’re picking on her. Poor Sophie. *laughs*

Brian Confessional: Tyler is not holding back tonight, praise the Egyptian Gods!

Tyler: Professional Victim, just ignore her honestly. I’m sorry that I even apologized.

Sophie then pulls her compact out and checks her image in the mirror.

Brian: Do you like what you’re seeing? The person you’re becoming? It’s not pretty.

Sophie: I actually do, honestly Brian. I mean, look at yourself!

Brian: Myself? I’m great, thanks.

Sophie: You actually aren’t, you’re sick!

Tyler Confessional: Brian wants me to constantly defend but here I am going at it at dinner and he’s quiet as a church mouse

Nick: Listen here you vapid, blonde bitch! What you’re not going to do is attack Brian.

Brian: How am I sick? Do tell!

Sophie: Nick, honestly this does not involve you, so seriously stop talking and eat that fucking fur in your food. And Brian, why did you go to Tanya’s salon and ambush her?

Nick: Sophie, I promise I am not the one. I’m from Patterson, I will wreck you!

Brian: Well now, does that involve you? Does It? Hmmm? How does that involve you? Why! How?

Leah: Nick, don’t let her rile you up. Let her own that third strike on her own.

Brian: I’m not afraid of you Sophie, if you want to walk the walk then talk the talk Panini girl. Let’s talk about the audacity you had to bring up my cousin's affair? Let’s talk about how you tried to put a wedge between Tyler and his friendships! Let's talk about all of the constant issues you have with each of us?!

Sophie: Yeah, okay Brian. Walk the walk in your fucking marriage because you’re a BITCH!

Brian: How dare you…HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! *picks up Leah’s red wine glass and throws it at the wall* DON’T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY MARRIAGE!

Tyler: Bri, calm down baby. This isn’t a good look.

Sophie: It’s all out there, sweetie, you’re husband is leaving you because….
*leans across the table* You’re a BITCH! Clean that mess up because all you can do is throw a fucking tantrum because you’re a fucking child.

Leah: Get the fuck out of here! Nobody wants you here!

Sophie: *grabs a napkin and throws it at Leah* Shut your fucking mouth bitch! Like seriously! Shut your mouth! You have nothing better to do than talk about me when you are the one fucking Brian behind his back.

Sophie Confessional: What is this? Like four against one?

Sophie: I’m going outside *walks out* What the fuck, get me out of here and off-camera. *demics and leaves the hotel in a hurry* Fucking bitches.

Tyler: Well girls…that was something. Bri, can I ask you a question without you getting upset? It just keeps coming up and I feel like the village idiot not knowing. So you told me that the divorce was just a rumor…but I keep hearing the opposite. I just want to know the truth, no judgment, I just want to be there for my cousin

Brian: If I need you, I will let you know, as always.

Tyler: Okay well I’m going to my room then. *pushes out chair* Goodnight.

Tyler Confessional: Are you fucking kidding me? That’s some bullshit.

As Tyler leaves to go to his room, the other ladies begin departing towards their rooms as the scene and episode end.

Next time on Ladies of Twitter…as the Ladies attempt to move on after an explosive first day in Egypt, trouble continues as Tanya arrives. As the women regroup, they try to make the most of their trip to Egypt and on a camel ride, the trouble starts up once more.
