- 'Summer House' Season 10 finale titled 'Ski Ya Later' streamed on Peacock on May 20, with a three-part reunion set to kick off May 26.
- Lindsay Hubbard pulled ex-fiancé Carl Radke to an igloo to discuss their split, where Carl delivered what the source calls 'the most touching moment of the season,' tearfully apologizing and saying: 'You made me a better person, and I'm forever grateful for that.'
- Ciara Miller kissed West Wilson by the fire after he began nuzzling her, despite her past heartbreak with him three years prior; the next morning she confided in Mia Calabrese, who reminded her she was 'a shell of herself' after their breakup.
- Amanda Batula told Kyle Cooke on the house's front steps that his dinner tantrum — cursing her out and nearly fighting Carl — 'scares me,' saying she wants to 'close that chapter' of their ten-year relationship and will spend the next few days in a hotel.
- Amanda and West announced they were a 'sorta couple' in a late-March joint Instagram statement, weeks after Amanda and Kyle publicly revealed their January separation following four years of marriage and a decade together documented on the show.
- Amanda ended the finale driving solo into Manhattan in a transition the source frames as setting up the 'Summer House' spinoff 'In the City' — though the source notes the moment lands differently given the 'Scamanda' backlash.
- Leaked audio from the upcoming reunion reportedly captures Amanda and West acting 'defiant and unapologetic' in the face of cast criticism.
Why it matters: The finale crystallizes three storylines that will define Bravo's summer: Carl Radke's rare on-camera vulnerability gives him a redemption arc at his exit, while the Amanda-Kyle-West-Ciara entanglement — already the season's loudest subplot — now feeds directly into a three-part reunion on May 26 that will determine whether the cast reconciles or fractures publicly.
