The Real Housewives of Nairobi Season 1 episode 12 recap: Bon voyage

It's the bittersweet last day in paradise before the finale of The Real Housewives of Nairobi, and Lisa is up early as usual while Susan enjoys some quality time with her friend from Nairobi, Virginia. Susan reflects on how much she's grown and learned to let go of things. 

Minne and Sonal attempt to bond on a bike ride, but it quickly turns into a gossip session about Dr C's matchmaking claims. Dr C, on the other hand, checks in with her family and discusses her disappointment with Minne's attitude towards her.

Meanwhile, Susan treats the eight-months-pregnant Vera to a rejuvenating massage session to thank her for showing up for her. Minne takes Dr Catherine shopping and gives her a fashion makeover while Dr C mentors her on being a businesswoman.

As the day winds down, Susan hosts a luxurious Billionaires Brunch where the ladies clink champagne glasses and enjoy some delicious cuisine. They then head to the cocktail bar for one last meet-up, where they express their deep admiration and affection for one another. 

Their sisterhood has grown stronger over the three days of celebrating Susan's birthday, and over the adventure of the series, and they toast to their fierce, funny, warm, and caring qualities that make their bond unbreakable.
