Real Housewives of New York Reality Check: Jill and Bethenny Open the Tear Gates

TRUE: Bethenny and Jill Are in Pain

What kind of pain, who knows for sure? But even Jill, who has spent the season spewing venom at her so-called friends, verged on sympathetic with two separate crying jags. The first breakdown occurred at LuAnn's charity event, when Jill declared that she was emotionally ragged and unable to face Alex, who just last week publicly humiliated her at a party. LuAnn scolded her ("I don't want you crying. You're doing a good thing for the homeless.") but still, Jill found herself on a couch later that evening sobbing softly into Kelly's skeletal shoulder.

Jill was reduced to tears later that evening after finding out that Bethenny's father had died the day before. Heartbroken for her old friend, Bethenny screamed at Ramona for not texting her the news and then locked herself in a pantry -- in one of the most dramatic cries for help this season.

Meanwhile, Bethenny spent the entire episode joylessly shuttling around in a chauffeur-driven SUV to see her father on his deathbed.
