The June 30, 2011 episode of The Real Housewives of New York City revolved around Ramona's plans for a surprise party for Sonja that also doubled as her own birthday party, but the show's drama came from Simon making Jill uncomfortable with his behavior.
Ramona's Birthday Party Plans
Ramona told Alex and Kelly she had decided to make her birthday party a joint party for herself and Sonja, but wanted to keep it a surprise. They met with event planner Arthur Backal, who showed them around the space.
Cindy launched her bikini wax kit at a nightclub. She said the promotional event was a fun way of getting her company’s name out there. Jill, Alex, and Kelly all came, and Simon told Jill he wanted to meet to talk out their differences.
Sonja's Feng Shui
Plumber Paul Huckemeyer arrived at Sonja's house to help with her clogged toilet. Feng shui expert Judith Wendell arrived as they were talking. Her BlackBerry turned out to be the source of the clog. As Huckemeyer left, Wendell explained her plans to cleanse Sonja's environment.

Sonja told Wendell she wanted to "turn a corner and let go of some old things". She started crying, and told Wendell she wanted to be fully herself and feel financially secure again. She said she was ready to get rid of all her negative energy and move on.
Jill's Conflicts With Simon
LuAnn and Kelly helped Jill paint her apartment, and she told them about Simon's cyberbullying. LuAnn wondered why Alex and Simon were trying to get attention this way, and she said she felt it creepy that Simon was using them to further his career.
Simon asked Alex if she was mad, and she said she was questioning why she ever tried to get to a better place with Jill. She said Jill's refusal to talk to Simon was a problem, and that something had to change. She told him "there is no Jill and Alex unless there's Jill and Simon".
The Birthday Party
Ramona said that Sonja would be "amazed" by the surprise party. Jill and Simon eyed each other warily as Ramona tried to organize Sonja's friends into a line. Sonja was overwhelmed with emotion when Ramona told her it was also her party and that she'd asked the guests to donate to her favorite charity.
Sonja said that seeing her friends there made her feel that everything would be okay. Cindy apologized for arriving late, explaining that she left her holiday party and felt it was important to "extend a hand" since she'd made up with Ramona and Sonja.
Ramona talked to Jill about feeling excluded when she wasn't invited to her hosiery event. She expressed doubts about whether she could trust Jill. Ramona's husband Mario showed her and Sonja to a room with a large screen displaying photos of important times in their lives.
Cindy met her parents for lunch and took one of her children with her. The baby proved to be more trouble than expected, and she called an assistant to look after her for the rest of the lunch. She told her parents she wasn't sure how to take her children on an airplane when they went on vacation.
Kelly and Alex Clashed
Kelly met Alex for coffee and told her they were "all concerned" about Simon's behavior. Alex told Kelly she should talk to Simon and insisted they were "two separate people". When Alex said she didn't need Kelly to speak up for her, Kelly retorted that she wouldn't from now on.
Alex told Kelly she didn't have a clear picture of who she was. Kelly insisted she was reaching out to her to find out if she was okay, and Alex told her it was a "passive-aggressive" thing to do. Kelly denied she was attacking Alex, and Kelly said Alex would have to fend for herself. Alex said she was amazed that anyone would think they would take their side over Simon's.
