The second special covered a variety of topics, including the important conversation Ciara Miller had with her castmates about race during filming, opening up about her experiences as a Black woman on the show, being the only Black person in the cast for much of its run, and dating white men in the public eye.

KJ Dillard echoed Miller's sentiments in Season 10, and the cast noted Wilson telling her during that conversation, "I see a lot more of you than I used to.".

Host Andy Cohen asked Miller if she believed Wilson, to which she replied that she "maybe" she did then, but not now.

«"I think it became very clear after watching the season that Amanda and West were using buzzwords like 'I see you, I hear you' to maybe meet my needs, but they weren't actually seeing me or hearing me," Miller said.

Batula countered. "Everything I told you over the summer, everything I felt, everything we talked about—that's exactly how I felt in those moments. I gave in to my feelings, and it doesn't matter, it hurt me so much," she said, before Miller interrupted, pointing out the betrayal of her best friend, who decided to start a relationship with her ex (Wilson) after they'd grown so close and talked openly about important things.

«"Amanda, at the same time, I think this is crazy because you've literally been in bed with me for the last six fucking years, and this is what we've come to?" Miller remarked.

The conversation then turned to Wilson being in an exclusive relationship with another woman, Moreno, when he began dating Batula; Cohen asked Batula, given her knowledge of Miller and Wilson's past relationships, particularly Wilson's "inability to commit to Ciara, why do you think this situation is any different?"«

Batula referred to their private conversations and tried to explain why she kept their relationship a secret for so long.

«"I wanted to get to a point where I might feel like I understood what was going on, because I still had to be honest with Ciara," Batula said. "I felt awkward admitting that I had feelings, that I'd kissed West and he was dating someone else. I felt awkward telling Ciara that.".

Mia Calabrese agreed, adding, "Yeah, it's awkward." A clip from the cast reunion trailer was then shown. «Summer House» , where Batula said she needed a break and left the stage. Both Miller and Lindsay Hubbard urged Wilson to also leave the stage and "find her girlfriend.".

«"I didn't know if those questions would come back to me," Wilson explained of why he didn't immediately follow Batula off the set. Kyle Cook, Batula's estranged husband, briefly intervened to vouch for his wife, noting, "I'd like to think we can create an environment for conversation, but there are a lot of unanswered questions, and so if [Amanda] continues to shut down or feel interrupted, I don't think we'll make any progress.".

Hubbard repeated to Wilson that he had to "get your damn girl," to which Wilson hesitantly replied, "We're both not going to leave.".

«"Get up and go after her, West. Be a real man," Hubbard continued, to which Wilson replied, "Only to have you tell me we both fucking left and start whining about it?"»

«"No, I think, you know what, if you want to be a real man, make a decision like a man and go after her," Hubbard added. Cook also vouched for Wilson to follow Batula's example: "I would go after her to make sure she's okay.".

Wilson finally stood up and the rest of the crew went on break, with Carl Radke, Calabrese and Miller coming to the aid of the "struggling" Cook. The original star «Summer House» , and now and "In the City"« , outlined his plans for the rest of the reunion, noting, "I'll tell you what, while we're here, the thing that bothers me most is the ease with which West lies," with Miller adding that Wilson "had a girlfriend this whole time.".

«"We know he's been in a full-fledged, exclusive relationship since February 2025. We have proof. I contacted Meja because curiosity got the better of me," Cook said. "We texted for a week; everything I started learning about West made me question who he was. And I said, 'Meja, with your permission, I'd like to share these recordings with Ciara because I think the two of you need to talk.' He knew she was going to have a big transformation, a big break," Cook said, referring to his impending divorce from Batula.

For Radke, it was a revelation, noting, "It's the only relationship that works because [Amanda] can't commit because she's still married to you." Miller agreed: "Yeah, she's unavailable, so technically it's perfect for [West].".

After returning from a break, Batula didn't get to resume filming on time like the rest of the cast, prompting Cohen to talk to other crew members, including Dillard, Ben Waddell, and Dara Levitan, who had joined the cast. «Summer House» as Wilson's ex-girlfriend.

After Batula's return, Levitan reiterated that she believed Wilson needed a relationship in which he was the center of attention, to which Cohen caustically compared her new romance to her marriage to Cook.

«"It would be ironic if you went from Kyle's show to West's show," he said. Batula agreed. "Yes," she stated bluntly.

During the reunion conversation, Cohen inquired about the state of Cook and Batula's marriage, and the show's members noted that Cook and Wilson share similar personality traits that Batula said she dislikes in her husband (specifically, his habit of frequently partying and having fun).

Miller questioned this, asking Batula, "I thought you hated going out?" She responded with another snarky remark: "Yeah, I hated going out with Kyle.".

This caused Cook to burst into tears, after which he snapped back, "Come on. This guy [West] parties twice as much as I do, and I say 'guy' because you're the most immature, lying, liar I've ever met. So shut the fuck up.".

Star TV series "In the City"« She also cleared up rumors about their breakup, noting that while "there are a lot of conspiracy theories about us breaking up and just staying together for the cameras, we broke up the same day we released the statement [January 19]. Honestly, we didn't even have a conversation about breaking up to create space to try dating again, and that ended in complete failure. The only conversation about whether we were officially breaking up happened when we wrote the statement.".

Batula claimed she decided to get a divorce on New Year's Eve 2026 after spending New Year's Eve alone and seeing Kyle at a hotel after a DJ gig. Cook claimed he behaved "inappropriately" during their marriage, but Batula claimed he "cheated on her.".

The most interesting thing happened near the end of the episode, when the cast went on a lunch break and Miller FaceTimed none other than Moreno, the woman Wilson was dating exclusively while he was dating Batula.

Miller and Moreno were talking on the phone when Cook joined the conversation. Moreno said she and Wilson had been dating since last summer, and he called her his girlfriend, but the terms of their romance were that they were "not in a public relationship.".

She also confirmed Hubbard's statement from the first part of the show's meeting. Summer House , where she said Moreno was at his house that day and they were doing "fine," even before he showed up on March 24 in Watch What Happens Live , where he mentioned her for the horsehair tie he wore in that episode.

When Miller asked Moreno why Wilson didn't want to publicize their relationship, he replied, "He thinks he'll get fired from the show if he dates someone outside the 'braosphere.'".

«"Another reason he could have given is, 'If I drag you into this, obviously it's going to put you in a situation where you're being watched,'" Moreno added. "Also, looking back, I'm like, 'You're worried that people might turn me against Ciara if I ever show up on the show as your public girlfriend, but you're perfectly fine with just dumping me and then suddenly showing up the next day in a new relationship with Amanda?'"„

Moreno expressed her displeasure with the situation, adding, "It's just so damn offensive. I didn't ask to be dragged into this. Is it really that easy for him to completely discredit our relationship?"«

Cook intervened, telling Moreno, "We'll go and deal with him now.".

«"Can we get her on set?" he asked before the reunion episode ended, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats with another "To Be Continued" moment.

Season 10 Summer House is now available to stream on Peacock, with all three reunion parts airing Tuesdays at 8:00 PM.
