How to Watch
Stephanie Shojaee and Marysol Patton’s “new start” on The Real Housewives of Miami ended almost as quickly as it began.
Fresh off their private jet drama in Spain, Marysol made up with Stephanie during the cruise she hosted for her castmates. While enjoying a spa treatment with Alexia Nepola in the ship’s mud room during Season 7, Episode 15, however, Stephanie questioned her decision to move on so quickly.
Though Alexia was equally enmeshed in the squabble — resulting in a tense showdown between her and Stephanie at Seville’s picturesque Plaza de España — she admitted that her bestie was ultimately the one who pushed her to forego Julia Lemigova’s special day trip to Marbella on Stephanie’s plane.
What’s more, Alexia revealed a deeper issue: It “really bothered Marysol” that Stephanie had lunch with her longtime frenemy, Adriana de Moura.

“So, I feel like maybe she’s the one who has more of a problem with me,” Stephanie told Alexia of Marysol. “I thought it was you.”
Later, while prepping for her company’s holiday party, Stephanie debriefed Adriana on what Alexia told her on the cruise. Opening up about how she finally understood what she was “up against,” she said she had a “message” for Marysol.
“The message is: If you’re gonna come for me, you better hit a bullseye. Because when it’s my turn, I don’t miss,” Stephanie chillingly declared.

Though Stephanie shared with Alexia that she was “sad that Marysol felt a certain way” about her bonding with Adriana, the Season 7 newcomer explained in a confessional that she “wanted to get to know the girls” for herself.Â
“Is there a problem with me getting along with somebody just because you don’t get along with them?” she rhetorically questioned.

Afterward, Marysol toasted the ladies during the final cruise dinner, noting that she was “really impressed” that that they were all “actually getting along on this trip.” (Even Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein had finally mended fences, at that point.) Then, she raised her glass to Stephanie, adding, “And to Mighty Mouse, our new addition, we love you, Mighty!”
Knowing about her issue with her befriending Adriana, however, Stephanie responded in a confessional, “Marysol has two faces, and depending on which one you’re facing, you get a different story.”
How Adriana de Moura reacted to Stephanie and Marysol’s new feud
As Stephanie later recounted for Adriana, “Alexia said, basically verbatim, ‘Marysol’s the one behind [the drama]; I’m just her mouthpiece.'”
Once she’d been properly filled in, Adriana noted she was “not surprised” and remarked to Stephanie, “That’s very immature, actually. That’s a very high school [or] sorority, you know, type of situation where, you know, we have our clique…”
As the Season 7 friend told a producer, “What I’ve been saying for years: Marysol is the puppet master, but she needs a mouthpiece and a puppet. Kudos to Stephanie. She can see through the bulls–t.”
During their pre-holiday party chat, Adriana cited Marysol’s career in public relations as proof that she “knows how to influence people” and “uses all that knowledge” to her personal advantage.
“That’s a horrible way to use your knowledge,” Stephanie replied. “How mad are you that you didn’t go on the plane to Marbella to Julia’s big announcement when I had given her the seat next to me?”
The two ended the conversation by sarcastically wishing each other, “Happy holidays!”
