Danielle Olivera the CEO is finally launching her app Donne and has set up a party to introduce it to the world.
Jesse Solomon shows up and Danielle asks him about his ball. He reveals in a confessional that he’s cancer-free and the thing he felt was a calcium buildup. West Wilson arrives at the party and gives him a big bro hug from behind.
The rest of the “Summer House” gang arrives including Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Paige DeSorbo, and her boyfriend Craig Conover from “Southern Charm.”
Jesse Solomon asks Carl if he and Lindsay were good after he ditched her in the Hamptons without taking her suitcase. “Um, I slept in the other room Monday night,” he answers.
Across the room far away from Carl, Lindsay asks Craig if Paige told him what the tarot card reader said about him moving to New York. “We both like, ideally, would not have to move for the other one. But I know that one day we’re going to have to like, figure it out … I would say we both probably avoid that,” Craig says. “Yeah, I avoid it,” Paige agrees. Craig doesn’t look happy.
In a confessional, Paige admits that when she has kids, she wants to raise them in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, or Connecticut. Basically anywhere but Charleston. Looks like Craig will have to sew his pillows on the East Coast.
Apparently, this party is turning into a relationship interrogation. Gabby Prescod asks West how things are going with Ciara Miller and if he’s ready to commit. His pause is as long as the Montauk Highway. “Too long,” Gabby tells him. He does the cringe emoji face.
The Summer House cast celebrates Jesse Solomon’s cancer-free ball
The “Summer House” cast is in the Hamptons for their last weekend and it’s raining. Amanda asks Paige how long Craig visited and she says a whole week and rolls her eyes. “I’m so sorry,” Amanda says.
“Craig and I have a very interesting relationship. I think he wants me to need him more. That’s just not my personality,” Paige tells the cameras. “So I try and give him a little, you know, ‘I need you, I’ll die without you.’ But let’s be honest, I wouldn’t.”
Ciara and West have planned a surprise 5-year cancer-free party for Jesse Solomon at a restaurant, which is sweet. Lindsay asks Jesse Solomon to tie her top for her in the parking lot in order to stall him. The place is decorated with a number 5 balloon and a bunch of balls on the table.
Jesse Solomon is visibly touched. “You think people are good people, but you don’t know until you go through something kind of like, traumatic like that and you realize who your actual friends are. I’m lucky that I have so many people in my life that care about me and I care about them,” he tells the cameras.
At the restaurant, Jesse Solomon thanks the group by singing them a song he wrote called, “What Would Jesse Solomon Do.” It’s actually pretty catchy. Somebody put it on Spotify stat.
It’s doomsday for Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard
The group gets the house ready for West’s apocalypse party by boarding the windows and hanging up creepy doll parts.
Carl and Kyle take a break to talk about Loverboy. Kyle offers him a small monthly stipend of $3,000 a month, $2,000 to show up at events with travel fees paid, and 10% of the sales for the non-alcoholic branch of Loverboy.
Kyle wants to make sure that Lindsay is on board with all of this and Carl says, “Ultimately, I’m going to do what I want to do and what I think is best for my career.”
Everyone gets dressed in combat boots and smudges on dirty makeup for their doomsday outfit but Carl looks like a shirtless circus ringmaster. Lindsay asks him about his talk with Kyle. He tells her the terms and she grills him on the details.
She gets exasperated because Carl didn’t negotiate and hammer out specifics, like how much equity he’d get from the non-alcoholic brand of Loverboy. She just wants to know what was said during their convo but he feels like it’s an interrogation.
“Everything I do comes across as I’m criticizing you so I feel at a loss,” Lindsay tells him. “I feel pretty excited about something. I understand where you’re coming from but I’m just hoping for a little more, “Yeah, that’s awesome. I’m here to help you in any way I can and let’s have a good party and move on,'” he replies.
She looks at him deadpan and says, “That’s awesome. I’m here to help you in any way you can, let’s have a party and move on.”
Lindsay Hubbard attempts to make nice with Carl Radke
Kyle tells Amanda and Paige that he spoke to Carl about Loverboy but feels like Lindsay is not being supportive.
“All summer we’ve watched them and I feel like none of us have gotten involved too much with their relationship. We’ve been very supportive to both of them but they have a lot of issues,” Paige says. “I think they’re going to go through with the wedding, but I don’t think they should.”
Lindsay takes Carl aside because she doesn’t want their fight to linger, especially during their last party in the Hamptons. “I’m struggling in these conversations because I’m just simply trying to communicate like, ask questions, ask you how your conversations are going. Because I want to help you figure out what’s best for you. But you’re telling me I’m interrogating you,” she tells him.
He replies that he did feel interrogated and adds, “The big thing I’m hoping for and needing in this relationship is sometimes for you to be less inquisitive and questioning but more softness and tenderness.” The look on Lindsay’s face is neither soft nor tender.
She tells him that he keeps asking her to be softer, which is offensive to her. “I think you have said a lot of offensive things to me too,” he says. She gets up because she’s not about to do the tit-for-tat thing.
He asks her to stay and they argue some more. Kyle looks over and wonders if he should sic some zombies on them. Lindsay tells Carl she’s never going to be a Stepford wife and he says to her that she’s allowed to ask questions even though he got mad that she asked him questions before.
At this point, Lindsay is hoping for the sky to fall so she can get out of this endless loop.
