Scheana’s wedding events in Mexico continue in this episode of Vanderpump Rules. Katie and Schwartz trying to navigate the newness of divorce and James’ behavior remains questionable. Will Scheana be able to enjoy her wedding even through all the drama?
Ariana scolding James is what everyone watching from home has always wanted to do. Because he really died of shame, Allies ran away from the situation, and he called James’ behavior “not funny.” Sandoval stuck his nose in James’s business and declared, “Sometimes real power has the power to do something and not do it.” Ohhhh the irony!
In the meantime, the Bubbas (Schwartz and Katie) go out to celebrate the sale of their house. They tried to explain to the waiter why they went out for dinner in this romantic establishment, but they were just as confused about it as we were. Schwartz and Katie cheer for the closing of the house, the memories they made, and the good job they did by staying friendly, ehhh. Schwartz bemoans the fact that he did not celebrate Scheana at his dinner reception, but luckily the drama that erupted between James and Ariana will be resolved, and they hug out.
Schwartz explained that after the divorce, he was more willing to defend Katie, but Katie disagreed. Katie reminds Schwartz that she never defended him, and Schwartz believes that he “tortured” their relationship early on and claims that he was a good wife. Katie refused to be gaslit by Schwartz, and Schwartz replied, “I think it’s better if we don’t talk too much.” Katie demands Schwartz “be real,” and she gets upset thinking about how great everyone has told her and how bad it has been for her. Schwartz calls Katie a “provocateur” to Scheana and Raquel … so she gets up in the middle of dinner, leaving Schwartz in the middle of a bite and a table full of food (even after complaining that her suit is tight).
Ally finally returns after fuming over James’ behavior, and she will be invited to Scheana’s bachelorette party on the catamaran the next morning. James called Lala came out in front of Scheana and said loudly that Lala could not attend because Rachel going and that’s why… he prefers to skip. Scheana is upset and Lala chases after her. Lala tries to explain that she doesn’t want the energy to die, and she’s confused about what Scheana means when she says she wants a drama-free party. Lala obviously prefers hanging out with Katie and Christinabut he knew he had to be on the boat tomorrow.
Kristina leaves Scheana’s wedding welcome dinner (even though she wasn’t invited) and talks to Katie about having dinner with Schwartz. Katie didn’t bother because she was going to defend the other person, and in the middle of the conversation, there was a knock on the door. Raquel awkwardly walks into Katie’s room to give her some news: she’s just Scheana’s messenger. Per Scheana, Katie wasn’t invited to hang out in her favorite areas of the resort. How rich is Raquel who tells Katie not to do anything – everyone! Katie calls Scheana an ab*tch, and Kristina volunteers to talk to Scheana. Katie threatens to go wherever she wants. It sounds like a promise and not a threat.
Later at the club, Raquel goes back to Scheana. Scheana can’t believe that Raquel is actually listening to her and Raquel is being mean to Katie, but now she realizes that she has total control over Raquel’s brain.
In the morning, the ladies (minus Katie and Kristina) gather in the lobby, and the guys meet at the pool bar to celebrate Brock with shots and big hugs. Don’t worry, though – Katie and Kristina manage to get to the pool area they like, and it’s just lucky that Scheana and her posse are away on their catamaran.
In the meantime, they’re getting more and more drunk and wearing speedos with Brock’s face on them. What is typical bachelor behavior?! When Schwartz mentions that he thought the random girl at the bar was Raquel, Sandoval asks if he wishes it. Schwartz stated that he couldn’t explain it, but she was beautiful, and eerily, Sandoval replied, “It’s okay – I asked.” Schwartz promises to make out with so many people later tonight, and for that, Sandoval makes the best Joker face. dirty.
It’s strange that Lala’s friend on the catamaran is Ally. He had a sit down and talked about tunnel vision with a man. Lala warns Ally not to lose herself in her relationship with James.
Voice over LVP‘s, he planned a dinner for his daughter Pandora and his family. LVP is worried about Greg, the owner of Schwartz and Sandy, and stated that “obviously she doesn’t know who she’s sleeping with.” LVP chuckles over Toms thinking that they’re going to run in 10 days, and she ponders how she can help him without stepping on Greg’s toes. LVP wonders if she should meet with Greg to discuss the future… and save Toms bank account.
It was a big welcoming white party for Scheana and Brock. While getting ready, James learns about Ally’s conversation with Lala. James is annoyed that Lala reminds him of him. And she doesn’t appreciate Lala cautioning Ally, considering Lala got herself into such a mess with *HER* relationship.
It’s a bit funny that Katie and Kristina (both were not invited to the party and the party) black when Scheana’s white party takes place. Conveniently, Katie chooses a restaurant next door to Scheana’s party, which makes her laugh. It doesn’t look good that Lala is sitting with the “enemy,” and Scheana can see it too!
Kristina talks about her conversation with Scheana before dinner to clear the air, and Katie seems annoyed that Kristina even has to deal with Scheana. By the time dinner was over, the party was heating up. Lala wonders if Scheana will even notice that she’s having dinner with Katie and Kristina, but Scheana already is…and she’s P*SSED. Scheana did not even know what Katie was there and decided that Schwartz need to make out with someone. Ariana reminded the world that Schwartz “only likes dating other people when he’s married to someone else.” OUCH… but it’s true. Sandoval and Scheana berate Schwartz and tell him he should let Bubba go because he’s “disturbing.”
While Lala talks about her new boo, Schwartz awkwardly interrupts the girls’ dinner to ask Katie…….. to cut her armpit hair for him. Katie isn’t amused and suggests Brock do it for her – ya know the BFF he seems to be choosing over Katie. Katie calls this stage of Schwartz’s drunkenness “pest mode,” and yes, we can see it. Again, Katie is annoyed that she always seems like the bad guy.
At the white party, Raquel takes Schwartz away from the crowd, and Schwartz realizes that he can only see Raquel because she is considered “forbidden fruit”. Raquel states that she can’t stop thinking about Schwartz smooching, and that her attraction to Schwartz outweighs her desire to be friends with Katie. He decided to throw away his worries and started making it out there, in front of everyone. As the episode ends, we hear screams and hoots, cheering the duo as they exchange spit. To be continued….
