After the women spoke their minds, season two officially began. Bravo recently indicated they have edited Russell out of the first few episodes, at least. Sticking to their word, producers aimed to raise suicide prevention awareness by airing public service announcements throughout the season. One of which aired at the end of last night's episode.

As noted by E! News, scenes with Taylor discussing her troubled marriage at the time of filming were not edited out.  After indicating that she was in therapy with Russell, at Adrienne's dinner party Ken Vanderpump mentioned his viewpoint and that in his mind it's a sign of weakness.

At that point, an upset Taylor left the room in tears. When she returned she noted, "I'm really fragile right now, I'm going through so much that it's a lot." Lisa and Ken left the dinner party and Camille remarked, "For a change I wasn't part of the drama."
