Vanderpump Rules Season 10 Episode 11 is jam-packed with drama involving Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss, so let’s jump right in to the most important moments:
After Scheana Shay and Brock Davies' wedding in Mexico, the cast returns to Los Angeles and brings their drama with them. Tom Schwartz is confused why Katie Maloney is upset with him for kissing Raquel at the wedding, even though she previously made her boundaries clear. Schwartz calls Sandoval to complain, saying, “I did nothing wrong.” Sandoval agrees, “I don’t see what you did wrong. You’re a single guy who got broken up with.”
Schwartz continues to say he thinks Katie is “blowing this kiss out of proportion.” He says in his interview, “It kind of feels like she feels like I cheated on her. She’s more upset than when I actually did cheat on her.”
The Toms get into a contentious back and forth with their manager Brett about not being able to open Schwartz & Sandy’s because he fired their kitchen staff. “Either we open or we are fucked,” Sandoval yells. “If we have to serve fucking goddamn potato chips out of there, we do it. Otherwise, we lose this place.”
In his interview, Sandoval emphasizes that the stakes are higher for him and Schwartz than they are for Brett and Greg.
Katie goes over to Ariana and Sandoval’s house to experiment with sandwiches with Ariana, and to celebrate the fact that they signed their lease for their sandwich shop, Something About Her.
In his interview, Sandoval expresses a bit of jealousy about their business. “Look, I am so stoked for the girls. I’m definitely jealous of how low their rent is and it’s like, small contained, easy. They don't have any partners. I’m excited, I’m jealous in a good way. I’m envious,” he says.
Sandoval also comments on Katie’s feelings about Schwartz kissing Raquel, saying he “doesn’t think it was really a big deal” and “they were just two single people that are decent looking in Mexico that just decided to make out.” When Katie calls Raquel “a fucking whore” both Sandoval and Ariana defend Raquel.
Sandoval continues to call Katie out and Ariana tries to stay in the middle. Katie ends the conversation by saying about Schwartz, “If he really wants to go around fucking all his friends, then you don’t get my friendship, and for anyone who doesn’t understand that, may god have mercy on your soul and I pray that no one ever does that to you.”
The Toms meet up with Lisa Vanderpump at Sur on a night when James is DJing. Lisa talks to James about Raquel’s kiss with Schwartz and James says, “It’s weird Lisa. It’s all the guys at Sur. Who’s next?”
Raquel, who’s working at the restaurant, joins Lisa and the Toms when she asks for their food order.
“No, she’s working,” Lisa Vanderpump interjects. But Raquel walks over and sits between the Toms on a couch. “I’m going to get in trouble,” she says. “I already am in trouble.”
Sandoval motions for Raquel to join him on the couch. “Come over here, I can’t hear you, Raquel. We can’t hear you,” he says.
Sandoval smiles and keeps his arm behind Raquel. Lisa Vanderpump asks him, “Why do you like it so much? You’ve got a smile on your face” and in response, he just smirks back at her.
Then Sandoval tells Raquel that Katie was not happy when he spoke to her earlier that day and that she called Raquel “a fucking whore.” Sandoval also spills that Katie said, “Schwartz doesn’t need to go around fucking all of our friends.”
“Kissing people makes you a whore?” Raquel asks.
“Katie is so rude and so bitchy. I’m always trying to grow and be a better version of who I was,” Raquel says in her interview. “I think a big thing that has been a roadblock for me is trying to be liked by other people. You know there’s people that you surround yourself [with] that either charge your battery or drain it.”
Raquel walks away to put their food order in and Lisa Vanderpump mentions how upset Raquel looked when she walked away. Sandoval calls her back over and says, “Hey, Raquel, are you okay?” And puts his arm on her shoulder.
“I mean, I don’t appreciate being called a whore and being slut-shamed for making out with somebody. Like, that’s not cool,” she says to Sandoval in an intimate moment between the two of them. “Yeah, I don't think it is either,” he says back to her.
In his interview, Sandoval says, “I didn’t anticipate Raquel being upset about Katie calling her a whore. I figured she’d shrug it off, but I definitely want her to know what people are saying about her. I feel like Raquel doesn't have a lot of people in her corner and she’s a really sweet girl, she doesn’t have a bad bone in her body.”
Later, the Toms have another tense moment at Lisa Vanderpump’s house when they give her an update on Schwartz & Sandy’s not being ready to open. Schwartz tells Sandoval all he does “is huff and puff” and he doesn’t “back it up with your actions and effort.”
Cut to a scene at Sandoval and Ariana’s house. The couple is talking about how Sandoval is getting ready to make a sperm deposit two years after Ariana froze her eggs. She explains she still doesn’t want to get pregnant but she doesn’t like the fact that biological clocks “have the power to run anything” and she wanted to make her eggs more viable as fertilized embryos.
The conversation between them takes a turn when Sandoval asks, “Are we ever going to use these eggs for anything?” Ariana responds, “I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I don't care if we do, I guess. I mean, I’m not going to get pregnant.”
In his interview, Sandoval asks, “Why would Ariana want me to fertilize her eggs when we might or might not have kids or whatever she decides?"
“It’s tough sometimes to talk to you about stuff ‘cause, like, you never agree with me. You literally never agree with me, dude," Sandoval attempts to confront Ariana. “I feel like this summer specifically, like, when I try to bring any sort of point up, it just feels like you…”
She rebuttals, “We have agreed plenty of times in this conversation."
“We are allowed to have different perspectives,” Ariana tries to reason.
Sandoval says, “I know but it gets frustrating. It feels like for the past few months, I will explain to you a situation. I’ll explain my point of view and it feels, like, to me that you are very quick to take the other person’s point of view when I tell you something, and I don’t want anybody to ever have my back unconditionally, but it sometimes makes me feel that you, like, question my intelligence. You think I’m an idiot in ways.”
“Tom, I wouldn’t be with anybody I thought was an idiot, first of all. Second of all, if I thought you were an idiot I would be so fucking nice to you all the time because I would be like awww, this poor idiot,” Ariana says. She tries to joke that sometimes he annoys her on purpose but Sandoval insists he’s talking about times when he’s not annoying her on purpose.
“Well Tom, we’ve been together for a long time,” she says. “I can only imagine how annoying I am.”
Meanwhile, Raquel is wrapped up in another cheating scandal. Apparently, Oliver, who she made out with in Las Vegas earlier in the season, is supposed to take her on a date in Los Angeles but his wife took to social media to blast him and Raquel, saying Oliver isn’t actually in the middle of a separation. Raquel talks to his wife on the phone to try to get to the bottom of the situation, then she meets up with him in person to hear his side of things.
“It’s really fucked up for him obviously to do this to you but for him to put me in this position, I’m pissed,” Raquel says on the phone to Oliver’s wife. “I hate being in this position. I had no clue.”
After the phone call, Scheana says to Raquel, “Now you’re going to be dragged on social media, now you’re going to be ‘the other woman.’ That’s not fucking fair to you.”
Raquel’s dinner with Oliver doesn’t go well and she leaves abruptly after confronting him.
"I’m furious with Oliver for making me look a certain way which is not representative of who I am at all,” she says in her interview. He’s very openly a cheater and hasn’t done anything to hide it or keep his wife from finding out which makes me think he wants her to feel bad."
Fast forward to a scene in James and Ally’s apartment and we get a MAJOR update: Ally tells James that she mentioned to Katie, Lala, and Kristina that she saw Sandoval and Raquel alone and dancing at The Abbey, a bar in West Hollywood, and was confused why Ariana wasn’t there.
“I thought it was kind of weird. It was like 1:00 a.m. and we were like, ‘Where is Ariana?’” Ally says to James. She further explains in her interview, “I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with it I guess, to have my boyfriend out at 1:00 a.m. with girls, but everyone’s different.”
James says he’s “noticed how much Raquel’s been hanging out with the Toms, both of them,” but that they just seem like “the best of buds” and he “wouldn’t put too much into it.”
The rest of the group goes out for Lala’s birthday, and Katie brings a new guy she’s seeing, Satchel.
Raquel crashes the birthday celebration because she wants to apologize to Lala for calling her “a mistress bimbo.” Now that she was called a mistress herself, she says she has a newfound understanding of Lala’s perspective.
Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Katie says to Sandoval, “It’s just funny to me. Raquel, you’re a dumb bitch, and she should not have shown up here tonight on Lala’s birthday.”
“You seem like you get a lot of joy out of that,” Sandoval responds to Katie.
“I don't get a lot of joy out of it, but it’s just funny to me,” Katie says. “You get a lot of joy out of Raquel as well, I think.”
“Yeah, she’s a cool person,” Sandoval replies. Katie continues, “You go to The Abbey together at 1 in the morning.”
“Dude, what the fuck are you even saying? Get the fuck out of here, man,” Sandoval says, shaking his head in disappointment.
Outside of the restaurant, Raquel is apologizing to Lala and says, “I didn’t realize how easily a man can mislead you into thinking it is one way and it’s completely the opposite.”
“I feel that being single for the first time in my adult life has allowed me the time to reflect upon who I am as a person,” Raquel says in her interview. “I think in the past, I have limited myself to only holding my own worth based on other people’s value of me whereas now I’m ready to break that.”
