Welcome to the recap for Summer House Season 10, Episode 2. Last week, we kicked off the summer with newbies Bailey, Levi, KJ, and Ben joining the fold. And they seemed to fit in with the group just fine. Ciara also vowed to be kinder to West, which left him hopeful they could be friends once again. However, things were not quite as harmonious between Amanda and Kyle, who were immediately at odds on day one. Here’s exactly what went down in Summer House Season 10, Episode 2: “Stoned Cold Truth.”

The drama between Amanda and Kyle continued when Amanda was upset that Kyle talked to everyone about their issues but her. So, Kyle continued to make things worse by doing just that. He also opened up to Carl about the stress he was having from financial struggles with Loverboy. Amanda and Ciara popped by to see Lindsay, who was living her best mom life. And Ciara introduced Mia, but her intro was overshadowed by Kyle crashing out when Amanda wouldn’t accept his apology for airing out all their dirty laundry to the group.

The fourth of July party wrapped up with Kyle still mad at Amanda for semi-skinny-dipping in the pool. Amanda thought Kyle was overreacting, as they’ve been skinny dipping with the group for a decade. She said in her confessional, “He wants me to be more fun, but he doesn’t like when I’m having fun … I feel like I can’t win.”

But the show must go on, so the group went to a bar. Kyle wore a “second place ribbon,” which seemed to be a not-so-subtle dig at Amanda regarding where he felt she valued him. 

As Ben told stories of his time on The Bachelor, Bailey cranked her flirt up to 11. In his confessional, Ben said that kind of attention made him blush because he was raised in a religious household. 

He explained, “That kind of attention is just kind of like it’s uncomfortable. Which is crazy because I’ve been modeling for a long time. But there’s a bit more than meets the eye. I’m actually quite a private person believe it or not.”

Meanwhile, Jesse asked Kyle if he got “spicy” with Amanda for wearing her bra in the pool. He was surprised because he’d never seen Kyle act jealous before. Kyle admitted he needed to talk to Amanda, but then he went right back to gossiping about her. 

He dished she smoked “weed every night” and implied they weren’t intimate. On top of that, he claimed she lived like she was on “Hoarders.” Oh, boy.

Amanda’s ears were burning, and she wandered over. Kyle complained she didn’t pay him any attention. Amanda responded, “That’s not true. You want to talk about companionship and communication? There’s nothing more uncomfortable for me than everyone knowing about how you feel except for me.”

When everyone got home, Ben was shocked at how sloshed Kyle was. Carl joked, “This is nothing.” But Carl was worried. He said in his confessional, “I would take my shirt off for Kyle … But he’s going through a harder time than any of us I think fully realize … there’s something about this summer that seems different. Because I feel like he’s crumbling and I just don’t know how to help him.”

The next morning Bailey couldn’t stop gushing to Levi about how gorgeous Ben was. But Levi had a warning for Bailey. She said, “The problem with this man is he’s so nice to everyone and makes fabulous eye contact with every single person.” Then she added, “But he’s not flirting with you, I don’t think.” Ouch!

Then it was back to the city for the crew. And that meant it was time to catch up with Lindsay. She told Ciara and Amanda she was living her best mom life … which meant having no life. But that didn’t mean she was out of the loop entirely. 

Lindsay shared that Kyle had called her and said he felt alone in his relationship. Amanda explained she had asked him to stay home more and then he decided to be a DJ and was out partying all the time. Then she spilled some major tea that left Lindsay and Ciara shook. 

Amanda said, “Then on top of that there’s constant rumors … There was a night where he went out with his brother. His brother went home. Kyle fell asleep at some like fan’s apartment that was having a house party and came home at 6:30am.” She added, “I can’t be putting up with it forever.”

We learned a bit more about Bailey and her online show “it girl.” Bailey is all about fashion TV and getting fashion perspectives from us normies out on the street. Bailey explained, “This is an online show for online girls.” And Bailey was doing quite well, much to her ex’s dismay.

Meanwhile, Carl peacefully watered his plants using a MacKenzie-Childs teapot. That is so Carl. But the peace was interrupted when Kyle stopped by with some tea to spill of his own. 

Kyle said his behavior boiled down to the stress from Loverboy. He shared, “I’m not looking to make excuses, but, I think it stemmed from me going into the weekend realizing how much pressure I’m under with Loverboy.” 

Kyle continued, “It’s just like when I’m catching up with you and I’m catching up with friends. I’m not gonna unload on them weekend one and just be like, ‘Oh, by the way, to save my business, I had to put $500 thousand in. Oh, by the way, I stopped paying myself a salary at Loverboy, so that’s one of the reasons why I started DJing, to pay the bills. But that’s what I’ve been up to these last couple months.’”

Carl advised Kyle he did not want what happened to him and Lindsay to happen to him and Amanda. Although the signs were there, Kyle was oblivious. 

He said, “We’re not on the brink of collapse. I adore her, I love her, I can’t even imagine my life without her. But I think what is messing with my head is just like the way she talks about the status quo. She still pushes a lot of the responsibility of our issues on me.” And Amanda was not going to be happy to hear that.

It was back to the Hamptons and West came dressed to impress in Great Gatsby style pants. Carl said, “Look at this guy! Are you wearing … pleats?” 

Ciara pulled up with her bestie, Mia. Mia is a realtor who used to work at the The Box. She shared that she and Ciara are opposites. Mia joked, “I’m like the kindergartner, and Ciara is the edgy cool high school girl.”

While Mia tried to meet everyone, the tension between Kyle and Amanda continued to boil over when Amanda learned Kyle had been kicked out of a venue last weekend. Jesse and West tried to cover for Kyle, but when Amanda shut them down, Kyle told her to “dial it down.” Oh, naur…

After Ciara had another heart-to-heart with KJ (as West jealously watched on), everyone sat down for dinner. Kyle stated he wanted to apologize for airing out their dirty laundry. Amanda and Ciara gave each other side-eye. Amanda wanted a one-on-one apology, not him talking to the group yet again. 

Kyle explained, “Maybe sometimes I just want to speak to everyone because we’re all in this house together. And it would be great if people could be a little respectful at times, Ciara.” When Amanda told him to back off, Kyle quipped, “I’m literally just trying to have a heartfelt moment and you’re laughing at me.” 

This led Kyle to crash out, running away from the table and slamming the door behind him. 

Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock the next day.
