# RHONY Season 15, Episode 10 Recap:  A Night of Highs and Lows

<img src="https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/8a5/504/83d8d5766d197b722c85c450bce134e836-rhony-s15-ep10.rsquare.w400.png" alt="RHONY Season 15 Episode 10 image">

This week's episode of *The Real Housewives of New York City* was a mixed bag, with some shining moments overshadowed by others.  Let's dive in:

## Jenna Lyons' Mysterious Stoop Sale

Jenna Lyons' highly publicized stoop sale, previously covered by *The New York Times* and *The Cut*, was a major storyline.  However, the show's coverage felt underwhelming; Jenna's reluctance to discuss her personal life, particularly her relationship, hindered a more in-depth and engaging portrayal of the event. The lack of other Housewives' participation was also disappointing.

## Sai's Unrelatable Injury & Erin's Ballroom Blunders

Sai's story about a glass shard injury in her Brooklyn brownstone while sorting through her “Sai-phora” sample closet felt far-fetched and disconnected from the reality of the other Housewives' experiences.  Erin's cluelessness regarding the ballroom theme of Racq-Mel's engagement party further added to the episode's sense of disjointedness.  Her lack of understanding of the dress code and the significance of the event highlighted a disconnect with the party's cultural context.

## The Engagement Party: A Runway of Styles

Racq-Mel's engagement party was the episode's highlight, showcasing the Housewives' outfits. Here's a quick ranking from worst to best:

1. **Racq-Mel:** The perfect hosts, with Racquel's Grace Jones-inspired look stealing the show.
2. **Jenna:** A surprisingly feminine look, channeling Brynn's style with a playful twist.
3. **Erin and Abe:**  A fun and daring “Opposites Attract” theme that demonstrated a refreshing level of comfort and creativity. 
4. **Ubah:**  Glittery and bold, though her wardrobe malfunction added some unexpected drama.
5. **Jessel and Pavit:** Jessel's Madonna costume, while impressive, felt too much like a costume and not enough on-theme. Pavit's Versace look nailed the '90s vibe.
6. **Brynn:**  Her glitter gown felt generic and uninspired.

## Brynn's Revelation & the Brewing Ubah-Erin Conflict

A conversation between Brynn and her ghostwriter revealed some insights into Brynn's past, shedding light on her current behaviors and struggles. Finally, a simmering conflict between Ubah and Erin emerged, leaving the viewers questioning the root cause of their tension and anticipating future drama.

## Conclusion

While the episode offered some memorable moments, particularly the engagement party, inconsistencies in storytelling and a lack of genuine emotional connection between some of the Housewives left viewers wanting more.

Jenna’s unwillingness to show her personal life is starting to hinder the show and is keeping her from being a truly great Housewife.

# Fiery Tesla Crash Claims Two Lives in Pelham Manor

A devastating car accident in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, has left two people dead.  A Tesla, traveling at a high rate of speed, crashed into a rock barrier near the Bronx border around 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday morning. The impact resulted in a massive fire that engulfed the vehicle.

<img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" width="886" height="590" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/two-people-killed-single-car-94695224.jpg?w=1024" alt="The horrific crash killed two people inside the car. " >

## Horrific Scene and Aftermath

Firefighters arrived quickly but faced significant challenges due to the burning lithium-ion batteries.  It took approximately 20 minutes to extinguish the blaze, however, crews remained on the scene for several hours to recover the bodies and secure the damaged batteries.  The Tesla was reduced to a crumpled wreck.

Eyewitnesses from a nearby auto service center described hearing a loud bang followed by the sight of the engulfed car.

## Investigation Underway

The identities of the victims have not yet been released.  Pelham Manor fire chief Michael Greco stated that the ruptured batteries made the fire easier to manage. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.

# NYC Street Trees in Drought Emergency

Experts warn that New York City's street trees are facing a severe drought, with conditions not seen in decades.  Recent rains have offered little relief, and the full impact on the city's plant life may not be known until spring or summer.

![NYC Parks' Super Stewards watering trees](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/amazing-super-stewards-water-care-94694747.jpg?w=768)

**Matthew Lopez-Jensen**, an assistant professor at Parsons School of Design, calls it a "**street tree emergency**,"  with trees "essentially being evaporated" due to the intense heat reflected from city buildings.  A CUNY Graduate Center study supports this, showing that urban trees suffer more from heat and drought than rural ones.

The Department of Parks and Recreation acknowledges the drought but maintains that the trees are generally tolerant of urban conditions.  However, they admit young trees are particularly vulnerable.

The cost of removing dead trees is estimated at $2,000 per tree, potentially reaching **$80 million** if a significant number die.

**City Council Member Shekar Krishnan** also expressed concern, highlighting the jeopardy faced by parks and trees, particularly given the elevated drought warning.

The city has implemented water restrictions for fountains and golf courses, and asks residents to voluntarily conserve water.

![Damage to Prospect Park Ravine](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/IMG_7904.jpg?w=1024)

A recent 2-acre fire in Prospect Park's Ravine further exemplifies the impact of the drought, causing significant damage and displacing wildlife. Restoration efforts are expected to take three years.

Mayor Eric Adams has issued directives to reduce water usage by city agencies.

A Department of Environmental Protection representative notes the drought is unlikely to improve until after the New Year, requiring a historically wet December for relief.



New York City is still under a drought warning despite just under an inch of rain last weekend and more precipitation on the way.

# NYC Mayor Defends Subway Chokehold Suspect: A Controversial Take

New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently defended **Daniel Penny**, the Marine veteran charged with manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man.  The incident, which occurred on a subway train, sparked intense public debate and a trial that captivated the nation. 

<img src="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/11/1200/675/ap24303771320464-scaled.jpg?ve=1&tl=1" alt="Mayor Adams press conference" width="600">

Mayor Adams' comments, made on "The Rob Astorino Show," framed Penny's actions as a response to Neely's threats.  Adams stated that Penny was responding to a situation where passengers felt threatened, suggesting he acted as the city should have.  The mayor emphasized the fear experienced by other passengers on the train.

The defense attorney, Steven Raiser, presented evidence that Penny only restrained Neely when he struggled, easing up when Neely stopped resisting.  Conversely, the Manhattan prosecutor, Dafna Yoran, argued that Penny didn't recognize Neely as a person, suggesting an intent to eliminate him.

The case also highlighted the shortcomings of the city's mental health system, a point that Mayor Adams himself criticized.  The medical examiner ruled Neely's death a homicide by asphyxiation due to the chokehold.  It's worth noting that Neely had a criminal history and mental health issues.

The trial concluded with jurors deliberating on Penny's fate, facing a potential 15-year prison sentence if convicted.  Mayor Adams further criticized the media for its portrayal of Neely, suggesting the chosen photos misrepresented his character.

This case has underscored a complex interplay of self-defense, mental health concerns, and the ongoing challenges of public safety in New York City.

New York Mayor Eric Adams appeared to defend Daniel Penny, who is charged in the may 2023 subway death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man with a criminal history.

# NYC Mayor Adams' Controversial Plan to Deport Migrant Criminals

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced a controversial plan to deport migrants charged with crimes, **even before conviction**. This move aligns him with the incoming Trump administration's plans for mass deportations and has sparked significant backlash.

## Safety Concerns vs. Human Rights

Mayor Adams, himself facing corruption charges, cited safety concerns for New Yorkers as his reasoning.  He stated that migrants committing crimes in the city do not have the right to remain. However, immigration advocates strongly condemn this decision, calling it a fear-mongering tactic that disregards constitutional rights.  They argue that it is a blatant attempt to scapegoat migrants for the mayor's own failings.

<p>The New York Post reported that 58,000 undocumented immigrants in the city have criminal accusations or convictions.  This statistic, from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is central to Mayor Adams’ argument.</p>

## Shifting Stances and Political Fallout

This decision represents a notable shift from Adams' previous stance.  He previously refrained from calling for the deportation of migrants accused of injuring a police officer.  The public advocate, Jumaane Williams, criticized Adams on X (formerly Twitter) for scapegoating migrants and neglecting policies that would benefit all New Yorkers.

Mayor Adams has emphasized that Dreamers (migrants who entered the country as children) who remain law-abiding should be welcomed.  He also acknowledged the need for migrant workers in certain industries.

## Collaboration with Trump Administration?

Adams has already spoken with Tom Homan, Trump's designated “border czar,” who plans aggressive deportations.  Adams stated his intent to collaborate with the new administration rather than oppose it.

<p>While Adams maintains his commitment to due process, his willingness to collaborate with Homan, described as "dangerous" by immigration advocates, raises serious concerns about the future of immigrant rights in NYC.</p>

##  A Divided City

This policy is causing deep division.  While the mayor claims it's necessary for public safety, critics see it as a dangerous overreach that violates fundamental rights and fuels harmful anti-immigrant sentiment.
