Welcome to our Summer House Season 1 Episode 4 recap – where the pool’s warm, the cocktails are colder, and the drama is heating up faster than a Montauk bonfire. This week, Stephen brings big main character energy by leading a surprise water aerobics class, turning a lazy day into a splashy spectacle (unless you’re Everett who sulks poolside). Carl continues his reign as the house’s most charming red flag and Kyle is in peak form: drunk, rowdy, and living his best summer life. Love him or cringe at him, Kyle’s chaos is the heartbeat of this house. Click through for the full recap – because Montauk’s messiest houseguests are just getting started.

Episode Title: “The Wrath of Wirkus” (Season 1, Episode 4)

It’s another wild weekend in the Summer House, where late-night dance parties give way to even messier mornings. The episode kicks off with a 2 a.m. kitchen dance party – because what better way to bury your drama than with some post-fight booty shaking? But by 3 a.m., Kyle is calling Amanda (who he just broke up with), and somehow she shows up and ends up in the hot tub. The next day, Amanda’s still around, Ashley’s lecturing Kyle like it’s her full-time job, and Stephen – bored by the low vibes – leads an impromptu water aerobics class, much to Everett’s unimpressed military disapproval. Once the crew returns to the city, we get a glimpse of their weekday alter-egos: Christina is navigating unemployment while Lindsay plots her own PR empire. But their friendship crumbles over interns and nail salon shade, setting the tone for a full-on house feud.

Back in the Hamptons the following weekend, Carl’s got more problems than just frayed jorts. Stephen spills the tea to Carl about Lauren knowing he went to a wedding with another date – except Stephen also conveniently plays both sides and pretends he didn’t warn Carl. When Lauren finally confronts Carl about the infamous photo, he smooth talks his way out with a line only Carl could deliver: “I can talk my way out of anything.” Eye roll. The crew rallies for a St. Bart’s-themed rager where Christina hopes to network, but the rest of the house is just there to party. Lindsay gets vulnerable on the phone with her Aunt Rhonda, giving us raw insight into her tough past and emotional walls. But the real fireworks come when Lindsay – sufficiently tipsy – confronts Christina, calling her a bad friend and accusing her of getting fired. Christina’s professional reputation hangs in the balance as the tension explodes on the car ride home. Let’s just say this summer is turning out to be one hot mess.

We’re Megan and Wendy – real-life best friends and seasoned podcasters. Our podcast Last to the Party was born out of a long-winded, laugh-filled debate about Summer House Season 9 during one of our monthly Pop Culture Club episodes on Patreon. And suddenly a lightbulb went off – why not start a Summer House rewatch podcast?

Wendy is our resident Bravo historian – she’s been here since the early days of Real Housewives and can recall every iconic feud, unforgettable quote, and off-camera drama like she’s flipping through a well-worn scrapbook. Her deep knowledge adds the context and expert insight that makes each rewatch richer.

Megan, on the other hand, is a little newer to the Bravo universe. She’s dipped in and out over the years – maybe a season here, a franchise there – but her fresh perspective and candid reactions bring the kind of delightful surprises and unexpected laughs that even longtime fans will love.

Together, we’ve spent over 15 years creating content side by side, most recently as the duo behind the hit podcast Girls Gone Hallmark. With Last to the Party, we’re channeling that same natural chemistry and unfiltered commentary into the world of Bravo.

Welcome to our Summer House Season 1 Episode 3 Recap – where the rosé is flowing, the lies are piling up, and Kyle is still clinging to his dream of a drama-free, hookup-heavy summer. This week, “perfect couple” Lindsay and Everett find themselves in Kyle’s crosshairs for ruining the house vibe with their constant bickering (and potential co-dependency). New roommate Jaclyn arrives with questionable Southern charm and a tendency to stir the pot. Meanwhile, Carl proves he’s got more red flags than a beach on a shark warning day when a lie threatens his situationship with Lauren. Buckle up – Montauk’s messiest summer is just getting started

Episode Title: “Flirting with Disaster” (Season 1, Episode 3)

In Summer House Season 1 Episode 3, the drama ramps up faster than a wine bottle gets uncorked. The episode kicks off with a sneak peek of Kyle snacking like it’s his second job and a recount of the hot tub fight from the night before. Meanwhile, Everett and Lindsay continue their toxic foundation of “love,” marked by explosive fights and even more explosive makeup sex. Kyle, fed up with their soap opera drama, demands less fighting and more fun – but with Everett’s intensity hitting 100 in record time, that seems like a long shot.

Enter Jaclyn, Kyle’s old flame, who quickly starts making waves as she flirts with Carl, much to the dismay of Lauren. As the group plays yard games and hangs in the pool, the tension is palpable – especially when Carl and Lindsay are caught in a “babe” moment that screams foreshadowing for future seasons. Kyle’s late-night escapades take a turn for the awkward when Jaclyn rejects his advances, leaving him to call Amanda for a late-night booty call. The next day, the drama continues with Carl’s lie about the wedding date, setting off a string of confrontations at dinner. Stephen is weirdly loyal to Carl’s secret, while Lauren’s about to blow her lid. It’s safe to say the summer in Montauk is anything but relaxing.

Welcome to the Summer House Season 1 Episode 2 recap of Last to the Party: A Bravo Rewatch Podcast! This week, we’re popping open the rosé and heading into a star-spangled summer weekend in Montauk. It’s the Fourth of July, and the fireworks aren’t just in the sky – Lauren and Carl turn up the heat, Kyle can’t choose between two women, and Lindsay and Everett’s relationship goes from intense to combustible. Whether you’re catching up or watching for the first time, we’re here to break down every romantic misstep, drunken toast, and backyard blow-up with fresh eyes and zero chill.

Episode Title: “Codependence Day” (Season 1, Episode 2)

It’s America’s birthday and the Summer House crew celebrates the only way they know how – by making bad decisions in broad daylight. Lauren and Carl wake up in bed together, Ashley immediately sounds the alarm, and Kyle reminds everyone of the sacred house rule: absolutely no couples.

The 4th of July pool party kicks off with mullet wigs, towering bottles of rosé, and a whole lot of passive aggression. Amanda arrives looking cool and casual, unaware that Kyle’s been playing musical lips with visiting houseguest Katie. Meanwhile, Lindsay and Everett go from PDA to DEFCON 1 by night’s end.

By the time everyone’s back in the city, Christina is stirring the pot, Ashley is still scolding Lauren, and Lindsay is contemplating her life choices over boxed wine and roommate drama. And just like that, it’s time to pack the bikinis and emotional baggage and head back to Montauk. Again.

Welcome to the Summer House Season 1 Episode 1 recap you didn’t know you needed – until now.

Whether you’re new to the Hamptons hustle or revisiting the roots of Kyle Cooke and Carl Radke, we’re here to break down every flirtation, poolside toast, and passive-aggressive house meeting with fresh eyes and big opinions.

Location: Montauk, New York
Episode Title: “Summer House” (Season 1, Episode 1)

In the Summer House series premiere, a group of successful, hard-partying New Yorkers escape the city every weekend for a share house in Montauk, where tensions, flirtations, and friendships collide. As the crew settles into their upscale summer rental, viewers are introduced to the original, season one Summer House cast: Kyle Cooke, Carl Radke, Lindsay Hubbard, the Wirkus twins (Lauren and Ashley), Everett Weston, Stephen McGee, and Christina Gibson.

Right out of the gate, house rules are debated, bedrooms are claimed, and underlying romantic sparks begin to fly – especially between Lauren and Carl. Lindsay arrives with boyfriend Everett, and the couple immediately stakes their claim as the house’s most intense duo. The episode sets the tone for a summer full of drama, late nights, and rosé-fueled chaos.

The first Summer House episode originally aired on January 13, 2017. The pilot also featured a Vanderpump Rules crossover, positioning Summer House as Bravo’s next big lifestyle reality hit.

The Vanderpump Rules Season 5, Episode 10 “Summer House Rules” served as a preview and crossover to the premiere of Summer House. The episodes featured many of the Vanderpump cast visiting the house in Montauk, including Stassi Schroeder, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, and Kristen Route.
