Here’s exactly what went down in Summer House Season 10, Episode 18: “Reunion Part 2.”
What happened in Summer House Season 10, Episode 18?
The second part of the reunion brought the good news that Carl was no longer a mess. He and Lindsay had done a 180, and all was right with Kyle. Jesse was also doing good with his music career in full swing. Someone not doing as well was West, who got called out on his behavior by Dara. Kyle also got called out for crashing out during Lindsay’s dinner. The episode ended with West’s ex spilling the tea about their relationship to Kyle and Ciara over FaceTime. The fuse was now lit for an epic finale!
Amanda walks off stage
We continue where we left off, with Amanda in tears after being eviscerated by Ciara and Lindsay. Lindsay warned Amanda that West would drop her like a hot potato once he got what he needed from her. However, Amanda looked like she was tuning everything out.
Kyle asked Amanda about West’s relationship with Meija, who had been his girlfriend. West interjected and claimed they were just hooking up “once in a while.” Lindsay quipped, “West, you are a pathy. We believe nothing.”
That’s when KJ shared he grew up with a father who displayed similar behavior, and it tore his family apart. He also didn’t like how West treated Ciara, especially after that conversation they had about race. For his part, West apologized. KJ accepted but wasn’t ready to extend an olive branch just yet.
Ciara discussed the importance of talking about race and politics in her friend group. She noted, “There’s a whole other layer that we experience it in. The conversations are vital.”
This led to Andy Cohen wondering about West’s “I see you” comments to her. Ciara felt it was all BS and was just “buzzwords” to tell her what she needed to hear.
Andy then asked the question we’re all thinking: since West wasn’t able to commit to Ciara, how was this situation different? Amanda was vague but noted they had “conversations.” She added, “I felt embarrassed to say, ‘I have feelings and I have kissed West, and he’s seeing someone else.’” And that’s when Amanda walked off stage.
West sat there until everyone yelled at him to go check on Amanda. He came back alone, and Andy announced a break. Levi said her goodbyes, and then Kyle spilled the tea about West’s relationship with his ex to those who stayed behind.
Dara reads West like a book
Kyle claimed he had proof that West was in an “exclusive relationship since February 2025.” And he got the receipts from West’s ex, Meija. Kyle said, “Everything I learned about West made me question who he is.”
Dara then joined the stage. Andy asked for her take on West as she used to date him. Dara didn’t think this relationship would be the one West would “man up for.”
She said, “You like people to think of you as a good guy. But you treat the women that give themselves to you like they’re expendable.” West agreed, because that’s what a “good guy” would do.
However, the one person in the room that needed to hear that the most wasn’t there. Amanda was still on break, much to the cast’s dismay. So, Andy switched gears to the “lover boys” of the house: Jesse, Ben, and KJ.
But Ben and KJ were only single for so long as Ben was smitten with Sabrina, and KJ with Dara. Ben shared things were going great with Sabrina, and she even helped him reconnect with his dad.
Then Amanda wandered back out. And that’s when Dara gave her a warning. She said, “The biggest pattern in his life is that it is the West show … And the biggest concern of his consistently is being well liked and well received. And he doesn’t prioritize treating the women he is linked to romantically with the same respect as he does anybody else in his life.”
She continued, “I just foresee him for a very long time wanting someone who will mold and fold and fit into his life without excuse or complaint. And it’s up to you to decide what’s worth sacrificing for that kind of person.”
Jesse spills the tea on his feelings towards Ciara
Jesse made honorary Bed Bug status this summer, but his card was quickly revoked when things got awkward with Ciara. He had caught feelings and wanted to make out with her, but was it all a big joke? Andy asked Jesse to clarify what went down.
He shared, “I think I caught some feelings and kind of misread the situation and wished I handled it differently. And I never said it was a joke, but I went about it in my typical joking fashion. And I regret that.”
Jesse’s music career came into focus, and he stated he was about to go on tour. Even with some of the hate he’s received from fans, Jesse was proud to be doing something he loved.
Next up was Carl and Lindsay making amends. Lindsay was proud of Soft Bar’s success and of Carl finally being comfortable with who he is. And Carl couldn’t have been happier having Lindsay’s support.
He said, “I care about you and I always will.” Lindsay was all smiles. She said, “I do think that you are finally the person you are supposed to be and always wanted to be … So, that’s what I’m proud of.”
Lindsay’s dating life came into focus. The search was still on, but she teased it would all be shown on In The City. Andy then brought up her and Carl’s ad for Carl being a mess. Lindsay wanted to make light of Scamanda, and Kyle and Ciara had no problems with it.
However, that’s when Amanda piped up. She said, “I would have never done that to them during their breakup. And it did hurt a little bit.” A girl’s got to have some standards after all.
Kyle explains crashing out on Carl
The ad conversation wrapped up when Andy asked Carl how he felt filming with Lindsay. Carl said they had “incredible chemistry as friends.” And Lindsay even unblocked him. Things were finally looking up for these two.
Andy brought up Kyle crashing out on Carl during Lindsay’s Lost Supper. Kyle apologized and said he felt terrible not supporting Carl the way he needed him to. But he wasn’t in the right state of mind because of his relationship and business.
Andy stayed on that dinner and asked West why he pulled up his chair next to Amanda when Kyle went off on her. West explained he wanted Amanda to know he had her back when he thought “Kyle was being a d*ckhead.”
Kyle admitted he was wrong. He added, “I said F-you because I felt like I was getting shot from all angles. Amanda was silent. And I kind of felt like she was letting everyone do her dirty work, but no one actually knows the truth.”
Kyle didn’t have any good excuses but shared the tone of the summer was set when Amanda insulted his DJ career. Amanda countered it was set when he spent the night at a fan’s house. But this backfired when Kyle observed she was mad at him for going out but partied all the time with West.
Amanda stated, “I’m single!” Kyle scoffed, “The hypocrisy is absurd.” Amanda explained she didn’t mean she didn’t like to go out, but rather she “hated going out with Kyle.”
This brought Kyle to tears. He said about West, “This kid parties twice as hard as I do. And I say ‘kid’ because you’re the most immature, fraudulent, phony I’ve ever met. So, shut the f*ck up!”
West’s ex gets a word
Kyle dished he was told that West wasn’t who he says he is. Which perplexed West. Kyle said, “I’ve been going back and forth between feeling concerned and feeling betrayed by both of them.”
He also cleared up any rumors on their timeline and shared he and Amanda split the day they announced their separation. Kyle felt it was rushed, and Amanda said it was because she didn’t want the audience to think they were still together after how he treated her.
Andy wondered if anyone heard of Kyle hooking up with other women, and only Ciara nodded her head. Amanda said he stepped out on her during their marriage, but all Kyle admitted to was acting out.
Afterwards, Andy broke for lunch. Amanda told West she was frustrated everyone made her feel “stupid” for trusting him. West gave a reassuring, “Yeah.” He then predicted the worst was over for them.
However, Ciara and Kyle had an ace up their sleeve: West’s ex, Meija. She explained to them over FaceTime she was in an exclusive relationship with West but it was kept quiet. Ciara asked her why.
Meija stated, “He thinks he’ll get fired from the show if he’s in a relationship with someone who’s not in the Bravosphere.” She then complained how West dumped her and was with Amanda the next day. Ciara and Kyle now had the receipts, and the tea was about to get spilled.
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock the next day.
