This week on "The Real Housewives of New York," Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley arrived in London to collect the ashes of Carole's late husband. Meanwhile in New York, Bethenny Frankel threw a party and tried to find a date for Ramona Singer. 

Carole and Dorinda traveled together to London, but Carole went by herself to collect her late husband's ashes. At the church, Carole told the priest that she was not able to support Anthony the way she wanted to because it was all just so devastating. She said that she wished she had one more day with Anthony because they never discussed what she would do if he died, since both of them believed that he would beat cancer. The priest handed Carole the urn, and she was surprised since she didn't remember it being so beautiful. 

On the car ride to the hotel, Carole looked reflective and emotional, and when she got to her hotel room, she broke down and cried. She continued to cry as she lay in bed, one hand on the urn. 

Later, Dorinda came to check in on Carole and the two chatted over tea sandwiches and white wine. Talk turned to their late husbands, and Carole said that Anthony's illness took a toll on their marriage. Dorinda said she could relate to that feeling. 

"I, at the end of it, was so physically and emotionally exhausted, and so angry," Dorinda said. "I almost felt like after he died that I was happy he died." 

Both women talked about not having been able to sleep because they were afraid that they would lose them in the middle of the night. Later, Dorinda told the camera that the first time that she was really able to sleep was the night her husband Richard died. 

In New York, Ramona was at Sonja Morgan's place and Ramona was listening to Sonja's advice on how to be a single woman again. Sonja mentioned the Turks and Caicos incident and used it as an example, and said that if she were on vacation and she met a man at the beach, that man must stay at the beach. Later, there was a knock at the door, and in came two men holding roses and bottles of Skinnygirl wine to invite Sonja and Ramona to Bethenny's product launch. 

At the Skinnygirl Pinot Noir and Spicy Lime Margarita launch party, Bethenny told the camera that she wanted to have some good-looking men in the room because LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona, and Sonja were going to be there and that they had expectations. 

Later, Bethenny introduced Ramona to an attractive young man, but Ramona wasn't impressed. 

"He's a bartender!" Ramona exclaimed. "You told me you can only date successful men!"

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