Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale: From Tom and Raquel’s affair to shocking revelations, here’s the recap
The highly anticipated Season 10 finale of Vanderpump Rules brought out all the drama fans had as secrets were uncovered and relationships were tested. The episode, aptly titled “The One Where Everybody Finds Out (About Tom and Raquel’s Affair),” kept viewers on the edge of their seats with shocking revelations that reverberated throughout the cast.
The episode began with a flashback to Raquel’s appearance on Watch What Happens Live. Little did anyone know at the time that this seemingly harmless comment would set off a chain of events that would rock the Vanderpump Rules world. Tom’s phone accidentally fell out of his pocket during a performance, and Ariana came across an intimate FaceTime screen recording of Raquel. The discovery devastated Ariana, who confronted Tom about his betrayal, leading to a heated and emotional argument that devastated both of them.
When the scandal broke, Ariana sought solace in the company of her friends and expressed her pain and disappointment. News of Tom’s infidelity quickly spread among the cast, causing a ripple effect of emotions and revelations. Meanwhile, fans began to review Tom and Schwartz’s new bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, in response to Tom’s actions, which cast a shadow over their business venture.
The aftermath of the affair also brought unexpected alliances, as Scheana and Katie put aside their differences to support Ariana in her time of need. They offered comfort and empathy and stood by their friend in the face of betrayal. However, the revelation of Tom’s infidelity sparked a flurry of speculation and rumors among the cast. James, who had a complicated history with Raquel, mourned the loss of his friendship with Tom and expressed his anger and disappointment. Lala and Katie discussed their suspicions about Tom’s behavior, with Lala even suggesting that Tom may have been involved with other people in the past, including Billie Lee.
Raquel herself denied being in a relationship with Tom, but their interactions and undeniable chemistry seemed to suggest otherwise. In a vulnerable moment, they shared a shot together and acknowledged the chaotic situation they found themselves in. As Raquel questioned her decision to give her heart to someone who betrayed Ariana, Tom reassured her of their connection, blurring the lines between friendship and romance.
The fallout from the relationship extended beyond Tom and Ariana’s relationship and caused ruptures in friendships and alliances. Lisa Vanderpump, the matriarch of the Vanderpump Rules universe, provided comfort and guidance to Ariana, assuring her that something beautiful awaits her in the future. Meanwhile, the unexpected return of Kristen Doute added another layer of complexity to the situation. Kristen, who had her own history with Tom, offered support to Ariana and demonstrated her capacity for forgiveness and growth.
As the episode came to a close, the cast gathered for a drink, except for Raquel, who was noticeably absent. Ariana made it clear that she could not remain friends with Schwartz if he continued to support Tom. This ultimatum highlighted the impact of Tom’s actions on not only his own relationship, but also the bonds within the group.
The Vanderpump Rules Season 10 finale was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Tom and Raquel’s relationship at the center of it all. The episode showcased the intricate web of relationships and the consequences of betrayal within the tight-knit group. Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming reunion episodes, where deeper truths and unresolved tensions will undoubtedly emerge, leading to more intense confrontations, emotional revelations and, hopefully, a path to healing and growth for all involved.
