The Real Housewives of Nairobi episode 8: Walking the talk

In the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Nairobi, Susan takes Sonal for some much-needed retail therapy. They hit up one of her favourite designers, Shenu Huda, where Susan's full-time glam team whips up an impromptu photo shoot. Their friendship is unbreakable, bonded by their shared experiences of pain and vulnerability, and a mutual passion for fashion.

Vera is in the studio working on new music with her husband when she receives an invite from Sonal to attend the launch of her latest shoe collection. Despite her reservations, Vera decides to give Sonal a second chance after their recent drama and decides she will attend the event.

Meanwhile, Sonal and Dr C are off to the cosmetic surgeon for a Botox touch-up, while Minne's mother visits to offer support during a tough time. Lisa has a nutrition consultation with her dietician Ashley to assess her diet and nutritional needs.

The day of Sonal's show launch at the Zen Garden arrives. It's a high tea set-up with a dress code of “gold.” Lisa stuns in an understated black and gold dress, while Minne rocks a lampshade headdress. Of course, Susan steals the show in a golden body-hugging gown.

Sonal shares her heart-wrenching story about her single mother, teenage pregnancy, and her journey to success. Models showcase her latest shoe collection, and the event is a resounding success. But there’s tension bubbling just beneath the surface… where is Vera, and what drama will she bring to the party when she arrives?
