Welcome to the recap for Summer House Season 9, Episode 9. Last week, Lexi went toe-to-toe with Jesse about what was considered acceptable behavior in a relationship. Shockingly, she didn’t approve of Jesse getting his toe sucked during a foursome or flirting with Ciara. Lindsay also got heated when she found out that Carl had allegedly been DMing Lil before he called off their engagement. Would Lindsay confront Carl this week? Here’s exactly what went down in Summer House Season 9, Episode 9: “Breaking Bread.”
What happened in Summer House Season 9, Episode 9?
The tension between Lexi and Jesse was short-lived. All it took was some dinner and flowers to forgive him for #toegate. However, she did not forget. Meanwhile, Lindsay and Carl performed a show during Shabbat when she confronted him about seeing Lil while they were still together. But Carl had the receipts, proof, and timeline that Lindsay had false intel. And finally, the drama between Paige and Craig continued when Paige admitted to Ciara she wasn’t sure if Craig was her person. But deep down, Paige already knew the answer.
West was not a fan of Jesse and Lexi
Lindsay and Paige finally had their Step Brothers “Did we just become best friends?”moment during their ride up to the Hamptons. Paige said, “Now that I’m getting deeper into my 30s, I’m like, I don’t owe you sh*t … And I got that from Lindsay.” While Lindsay joked, “It’s been a long time coming, but she couldn’t deny me for that much longer. It’s only a matter of time before we’re best friends, okay?”
Meanwhile, it was a totally different car ride for West, Lexi, and Jesse. Lexi had folded like a deck of cards and forgave Jesse for toegate. She shared, “You get two chances with me, and if he messes up again, then I probably won’t be as forgiving.” Sure, Jan. Jesse dished that he introduced Lexi to his parents to make up for what had happened. West was horrified.
At the house, Jesse surprised the group that they would be having Shabbat. And he had all the goodies, like brisket and matzo ball soup. He then shared the news with the guys that he was exclusive with Lexi. West piped in, “They met both sides of the family. He got bullied into doing it.” Clearly, West was not a fan. Carl then announced Lil was a lemon after she gave him one on a date. The two were dunzo.
Lexi filled in the girls Jesse was forgiven after he took her out to dinner and gave her flowers. Make him work for it, girl! She brought up the flirting, and Ciara noted, “Jesse was definitely times ten, and it probably was because you weren’t here.” But no one brought up the fact that the group was shipping them or that Ciara played along.
Shabbat and a show
Paige was feeling the stress from her upcoming Giggly Squad tour. And it was mostly from worrying Craig was a secret hater. She said, “I truly expected my boyfriend to say, ‘This is so exciting, and you should feel so proud’… But that is not the reaction I’m getting.”
Jesse pulled the dad card and made the group put their phones away for Shabbat. A show was about to go down between Lindsay and Carl, and everyone needed to be present.
The crew then went around the table to talk about their week. Kyle mentioned Amanda gave him a handy on the plane. Lovely. Carl unknowingly opened a can of worms when he announced he was done dating Lil and wanted to see other people. Cue Lindsay! She asked Carl if that was his first date with her, and he said yes. But she wasn’t buying it.
Lindsay said, “It’s come to my attention that you’ve been talking to her since last summer.” Carl admitted he met her parents in the summer but didn’t talk to Lil until the fall. After further grilling, he said he wasn’t messaging her when they were together. However, both Lindsay and Kyle wanted the receipts. Carl said his phone was upstairs. Lindsay snarked, “How convenient.” The rest of the table was loving this exchange.
She kept it going and said Carl was playing a victim when he told the group he hadn’t been going on dates. Carl denied it and said he could come at her with a list of things she was lying about but didn’t. Oop. A frustrated Kyle urged him again to get his phone. The receipts were now in flight!
Carl’s name was cleared
Carl ran down the stairs with his phone. He said, “There’s the receipts. So, am I a liar or not?” The group was on edge. After a pause, Lindsay confirmed Carl was telling the truth. The DM was in the fall. But what about the parents? Carl guffawed, “Lindsay, I don’t go to soccer games and say, ‘Hey, I met the coolest parents today!’” Everyone burst out laughing.
Lindsay thanked him for giving her the receipts. And with that, they both got a huge round of applause. Still, there was more drama to be had.
Lexi shared that if a guy gave her the “immediate ick,” it was over. But she was happy to give Jesse another chance. Kyle wondered if the ick meant toegate. Jesse clarified it was only his “pinky toe.” Because having it be the smallest toe makes it all better.
After dinner, Carl shared he needed to go on more dates to get his groove back, and Imrul agreed. Suddenly, Lexi brought more heat onto Imrul than she ever did to Jesse. She said, “This f*cking guy. Honestly, you’re low-key on my sh*t list.”
Lexi said she was mad that Imrul instigated the toe-sucking. Jesse stood by silently when he was the real culprit for letting it happen in the first place. Paige concluded, “Lexi and Jesse are weird as f*ck.”
Kyle then touched base with Carl about Lindsay. Carl brought up that Lindsay lied about his mom to the media when she said she never reached out to her. Carl claimed, “She’s obsessed with me. Clearly.” And clearly, their feud was not going to be over anytime soon.
Paige debated going to splitsville with Craig
The next morning, Imrul told Jesse his night went pretty chill, and Jesse turned all Judgy McJudgerson. He said, “Glad you have the chilling vibe as well. And not just banging chicks; that’s gross, brother.” Pot meet kettle, anyone?
Carl was having a tough time as it was the anniversary of his brother’s passing. He shared, “Every August will always bring back a lot of emotions … I’m trying my best here to keep it together, but it’s hard.”
Then it was time for Diplo, er, Kyle’s DJ debut in the Hamptons. Kyle was worried it would be low energy because it was a backyard party setting, and he was right. The vibe was more ladies who lunch than day club. But the crew was there to support him.
Ciara had a good heart-to-heart with Carl, and Paige and Amanda shipped them as a couple. Here we go again! Meanwhile, West was happy to get some alone time with Jesse. Jesse told him, “I’m trying to get through today incident-free.” Just keep your shoes on.
Jesse then brought up his concern about Lexi stalking his Insta. She knew who he followed and when. He told Paige, “I really feel like I’m being watched.” Paige sighed. That’s “26 energy” for you. But she had her own problems to worry about.
Paige told Ciara she was anxious because Craig wasn’t supporting her. Ciara noted Paige should think about what she wants instead of what Craig wants. Paige admitted she didn’t want to break up. Still, Ciara wondered if Craig was her person. Paige stated, “I don’t know.”
Summer House continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
