It’s half two of the Vanderpump Guidelines reunion. Lala continues to be attempting to grasp issues that don’t have anything to do together with her, and Katie is simply mad… just about the entire time. First, it was Lala coming at her, then the Scheana/Schwartz makeout will get introduced up, and eventually, Jo comes out to attempt to communicate her reality. That doesn’t go so effectively, as Schwartz tries to gaslight Jo into pondering they have been by no means a factor. James jumps in on the very finish, proving that perhaps he’s the primary man within the group.
Issues are going GREAT for Lala and Katie to date. Not… Lala is coming in scorching, calling Katie out for performing otherwise off-camera. Lala reminds Katie that she had lots to say about Ariana when the cameras have been down, however when Lala tried to convey it up whereas filming, Katie wouldn’t chunk. Katie claims she selected to not discuss it as a result of she was “over it” and didn’t need to make Ariana really feel responsible. And she or he was definitely not resentful towards Ariana, as Lala insinuates.
Schwartz factors out that Katie was most likely scared to not be #TeamAriana, however Ariana backs Katie by calling her 100% genuine. Ariana states that Katie is legitimate in her emotions, and Lala simply misses the Katie who would even be a reality teller, delivering details and having uncomfortable conversations. Lala felt like Katie was treating her just like the enemy, however she believes they are going to be again to being good pals, even after this sensitive dialog. When Andy factors out that Katie seems p*ssed, Lala retorts, “Nicely, that’s commonplace….” And in addition a straightforward technique to have Katie stay offended with you, Lala.
As a result of Katie was not mad sufficient, Andy decides to modify subjects and convey up the make-out session between Scheana and Schwartz. To be clear, this occurred YEARS in the past, throughout a time when Katie HATED Scheana coming into the group. Scheana buried this secret as a result of the very last thing on this planet she needed was to harm Katie. Schwartz apologizes to Scheana for approaching to her and for being a “sloppy, drunken idiot.” If not for Scheana’s repressed reminiscence of the night coming to mild throughout glamping, this may have stayed quiet.
Scheana stands by the truth that each man within the group has hit on her. James denies it. Sandoval additionally denies it, nonetheless, Scheana’s received a LOT of particulars… Talking of hookups, Katie’s revenge bang with Max will get mentioned. Schwartz claims to have manifested this so he might present the world he was an even bigger particular person in this type of state of affairs, however you understand it’s killing him since Max is his bff. Katie performs coy when requested if she attached with Max a second time, so… she did?
The Lake Tahoe journey was NOT a “Sandoval redemption journey,” however slightly a technique to attempt to get the group collectively after the chaos of the previous yr. Schwartz will get questioned for calling Ariana the queen of the group, and Ariana believes that Schwartz is the ONLY one who thinks she has an ego. Simply wait til she sees Lala go off about this within the finale episode…
Ariana understands the place Scheana was coming from this season as she struggled to be loyal to Ariana however needed to let Sandoval again in her life. Scheana desperately tries to point out Ariana how a lot she means to her. Ariana’s boundaries are a scorching matter, and Andy factors out that Lala had boundaries in 2022 about speaking together with her ex, so why was everybody giving Ariana such a tough time?
Lala says that the large distinction is that there was a toddler concerned. Katie believes that Ariana continues to be allowed to have boundaries, however Lala doesn’t perceive how Ariana can sleep in the identical home as him, but declare boundaries, particularly after having a brand new boyfriend “10 days later.” Ariana reminds Lala that she supported her boundaries, and Lala doesn’t have to grasp her boundaries, however she has to respect them.
The fan picture the place Scheana has her arm round Sandoval will get introduced up. Ariana admits that she was barely uncomfortable, however not as uncomfortable as Scheana was when Ariana didn’t inform her she was going to be on Dancing with the Stars (Scheana’s DREAM place). Ariana says she remained tight-lipped due to manufacturing, and he or she was afraid that if she advised Scheana, she might have been overheard. Andy makes a plug to have Scheana on DWTS and Scheana poo-poos it, as she has plans together with her band… however maaaaybe subsequent yr.
Ally enters able to learn Andy’s chart, and Jo enters able to be eaten alive by Katie. The entire Jo phase left me feeling uncomfortable since Schwartz refuses to name what they’d a relationship when it very clearly was one. Schwartz and Jo met by means of Kristen Doute, but it surely’s unusual how they related… and the way Jo wound up crashing at Schwartz’s when she might have requested her FRIEND Kristen.
Schwartz states that it began platonically, but it surely developed right into a sexual relationship, and he refers to Jo as “an escape.” Katie truly felt unhealthy for Jo as a result of she noticed her state of affairs with Schwartz very otherwise. Schwartz claims he by no means texted Jo that he cherished her, however he actually did say he cherished her as a result of he cared about her. Schwartz believes that he was clear with Jo, however Katie believes that Schwartz was “displaying f*ckboy conduct.” Jo reaches for a tissue and nods as the women discuss in regards to the disconnect. Jo factors out that it’s unhappy to see there was a relationship, and it’s even sadder that Schwartz refuses to make use of the phrase relationship when discussing their time collectively, choosing the phrase “magic” as a substitute.
Schwartz was scared to place labels on what they have been, and Jo is damage as a result of she felt like Schwartz’s soiled secret, whereas he has hard-launched a brand new girlfriend now. Nobody is bound what to make of Jo. Ariana dislikes her as a result of she believes Jo knew about Rachel and Sandoval, and Katie, effectively, Katie makes her opinion very clear. Katie claims she was so imply about Jo as a result of she didn’t belief her, and he or she claims she used “colourful descriptors” when speaking about Jo. Katie tells Jo it’s not about her, however Katie behaved that approach towards Jo due to all she was coping with. The very last thing Katie wanted was Jo… however that appears like a Katie drawback.
In relation to James and Ally, they embrace the airport shade and embrace their function as dad and mom to some cats and Hippie. Talking of Hippie, Rachel got here out to say that the canine’s unhealthy conduct was a results of how James handled him as a pet, however James states that Hippie has reworked since being dwelling with him. Ally throws shade and says that the group hasn’t actually impressed her to get married and have youngsters, regardless of James wanting it, like, yesterday.
Lala has been sober for nearly five-and-a-half years, and he or she thanks Andy for acknowledging her sobriety. James hasn’t had a drink since April, and Ally shares that she didn’t like who James was when he was consuming. Ally truly moved out of the home for 2 nights (and no, she didn’t crash at Schwartz’s), and he or she states that if James have been to begin consuming once more, she would depart.
In keeping with Andy, the actual star of VPR this season is Ann, Sandoval/Ariana’s assistant (no, it isn’t Summer time Moon, a lot to Scheana’s chagrin). Ann determined to work for Ariana as a result of she needed to work with and for different girls. Sandoval felt like he received kicked in his intestine when this occurred, however he wastes no time throwing Ann underneath the bus on the subject of “tried canine homicide.” Sandoval states that it might have been him OR Ann who left Ariana’s bed room door open, inflicting their canine to eat one thing and get very sick.
In Ariana’s eyes, there is no such thing as a doubt that the canine stays together with her on this breakup. In any case, she bought the canine. This causes Sandoval to roll his eyes, setting off James. James factors out that Sandoval was wonderful when Rachel took Graham from him, and he wonders how Sandoval had no drawback with that then, and now, right here he’s making a mockery of the state of affairs. Sandoval will get defensive, as he all the time does, and blurts out to James, “I’m maintaining my mouth shut in regards to the issues I’ve heard” about him. James tells Sandoval that he’s “galloping to date forward of you I can’t even see you.” Touché, James.
