This week on "The Real Housewives of New York," Bethenny Frankel apologized to Heather Thomson for what happened at the Berkshires, Ramona Singer asked her daughter if she has heard anything from her father about a possible reconciliation, and Bethenny started a new feud with Kristen Taekman. 

The episode continued where it left off the previous week, at the Berkshires with Bethenny and Heather arguing at Dorinda Medley's birthday party. After a while, Bethenny went over to Heather's side of the table and told her nicely that she really doesn't want attention and went on to apologize. 

"When you're ready to take a step forward, I will be here," Heather told her. 

After returning from the Berkshires, Ramona spent some time with her daughter Avery, who happened to be home from college. As they unpacked her things, Ramona asked Avery if her father has told her about plans to reconcile, but Avery said that she doesn't really ask him a lot of questions and that she'd rather stay out of it. Ramona continued to get some more information out of her, but she stopped when Avery told her to do whatever makes her happy. 

Bethenny invited Sonja Morgan to her Skinnygirl Summit, a gathering of all of Bethenny's partners in which they talk about the achievements and areas that need improvement in the company. Sonja, an aspiring entrepreneur, arrived a tad overdressed for the occasion, but gamely took notes and seemed to appreciate Bethenny's invitation. 

At Ramona's party, Carole Radziwill pulled Kristen aside to tell her about some unpleasant things that Bethenny said about her recently, mostly about how she has failed to trademark her nail polish name. 

"I saw Bethenny the other day, and she said something to the effect of, 'Well you know Kristen doesn't even own the trademark to Pop of Color' … and she goes, 'She's so dumb, she didn't even get the trademark,'" Carole said. 

Furious, Kristen thanked her for the information and decided to confront Bethenny about it. Kristen told her that she's very passionate about her nail polish line and that for her, it's the biggest thing ever. 

"Carole tells me tonight that apparently I'm dumb because my Pop of Color's not trademarked?" Kristen ranted. Bethenny refused to engage any further and stormed off.

"If I'm sitting there and I'm watching someone holding a gun while they're loading bullets, I'm not going to wait to get shot," Bethenny told the camera.

"The Real Housewives of New York" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
