fraught with Shakespearian-level dramatic irony as the show reveals the mounting drama leading up to the revelation of Tom Sandoval, 40, and Raquel Leviss’ months-long affair.In this week’s installment, the gals are still reeling from the Lake Havasu girls trip gone wrong (the most common type of Lake Havasu girls trip).A pool party with the whole gang at Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix’s once happy home plays, on the surface, like “Mean Girls” lite. Lala Kent and Katie Maloney are still on the offense over Leviss’ behavior on the trip — namely that she got drunk and made out with a Vegas waiter Kent liked and then used a kiddo galaxy light to illuminate her Vegas hotel room.“I was being young and fun and single and living my life, and these girls literally set me up to make me seem like I’m only chasing after guys that they’re interested in,” Leviss, 28, says early in the episode.Kent and Maloney, 36, are accused of being the villains in their treatments of Leviss, who seems intent on defending herself against the volatile Kent.“She is kinda thriving, kinda hot,” Tom Schwartz says of Leviss defending herself.Not surprisingly, Tom Sandoval also stands up for the woman we now know to be his mistress, confronting Maloney for being a supposed bully.“Katie, here’s the thing with you: If somebody doesn’t have your exact perspective, they’re somehow wrong” he says.

Tom Sandoval to the rescue!On Wednesday's all-new Vanderpump Rules, Tom stepped in to defend Raquel Leviss following her fallout with Lala Kent, Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly in Lake Havasu.Following the trip, the group convenes at Tom and his then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix's, home, for a pool party, where Lala decides to share her side of the story with Scheana Shay.«I think she’s weak,» Lala says of Raquel.«She’s built so much confidence this year,» Scheana retorts.«That’s a PC answer, and I respect it, but I’m gonna decline that,» Lala replies.While Lala says she's unable to forgive Raquel for calling her a «mistress,» Scheana reminds her that it was not long ago that she too was wearing that label. «It’s like wearing a f**king scarlet letter,» Scheana says in an interview before a flashback to her sit-down with Brandi Glanville for being with her then-husband, Eddie Cibrian, hits the screen.«Here we are in 2022 and I’m still a home-wrecking whore,» she continues.The conversation about Raquel's behavior on the trip continues, with Kristina joining in. But Scheana isn't going to let all the back-and-forth about her then-bestie slide — she decides to tell Raquel that Lala called her weak.«I think Lala’s pathetic.
