A storm is brewing in the Hamptons, and it’s not just the weather. In the latest episode of Summer House, tensions rise, boundaries blur, and friendships are tested as the housemates navigate a wild shipwrecked-themed party. With alcohol flowing, secrets spilling, and emotions running high, things take an unpredictable turn. Will old wounds heal, or will new ones open? Let’s dive into everything that went down in Season 9, Episode 7, “Toeing the Line.”
WEST & JESSE SOLOMON: BOUNDARIES? WHAT BOUNDARIES?
West and Jesse Solomon’s friendship continues to defy all expectations—and personal space. The duo takes their camaraderie to bizarre new heights during the latter half of the party. While the rest of the house enjoys the festivities, they sneak off to the lawn, where they engage in an impromptu side-by-side bathroom break. As if that wasn’t strange enough, Jesse is on the verge of finishing his second bottle of Hamptons Water, an event that apparently warrants discussion even mid-stream.
Passing an unopened bottle between them, the scene gets increasingly awkward, leading to speculation about whether they might have even crossed streams. It’s a moment so ridiculous it could have ended the Ghostbusters, and yet, it’s just another night in the Summer House.
KYLE & CRAIG: A LONG-AWAITED CONVERSATION
Meanwhile, Kyle finally confronts Craig about their ongoing business disagreement. Kyle, still upset about how Craig handled a business proposal, seeks clarity. Craig, however, remains convinced he did nothing wrong. The tension between them has been building for weeks, with Kyle even calling Craig a liar publicly. Craig, feeling betrayed, insists that he was transparent all along.
In true Craig fashion, he delays their talk—grabbing a drink, checking his emails, even clipping his toenails before finally sitting down with Kyle. When they do talk, the conversation is tense but productive. Kyle admits he needs to manage his emotions better, while Craig acknowledges that his actions may have unintentionally hurt Kyle. In the end, they find common ground and hug it out, though whether this truce lasts is anyone’s guess.
PAIGE & CRAIG: TROUBLE IN PARADISE
Paige and Craig’s relationship continues to unravel. While Craig appeared blindsided by their eventual breakup, Paige’s perspective reveals deeper issues. During a candid chat with Ciara, Paige admits that Craig gets frustrated when she succeeds—hinting that he might be secretly jealous of her accomplishments.
Their dynamic takes center stage when Paige, covered in paint from the party, lounges on her bed and opens up about her concerns. The writing is on the wall, but Craig doesn’t seem to see it yet. For Paige, however, things are becoming painfully clear.
JESSE SOLOMON & CIARA: THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW?
Jesse Solomon refuses to stay out of the drama. His mission this episode? To get Ciara and West back on good terms. He pushes Ciara to hug West, but she’s having none of it. Later, Jesse corners her again, asking what West can do to mend things. Ciara is firm—there’s no fixing what’s already broken.
Jesse, of course, relays everything back to West, who isn’t pleased with Ciara’s remarks. As emotions run high, Amanda steps in to offer West some perspective. She reminds him that Ciara is still processing her feelings, and as the one who hurt her, he needs to give her space. West, for his part, insists he genuinely cared for Ciara, but the pain of their past lingers.
Things take another turn when Jesse and Ciara’s chemistry becomes undeniable. As they dance together at the party, Jesse seems to realize that he could have pursued Ciara if West hadn’t claimed her first. Amanda even questions him about his interest in Ciara, and Jesse doesn’t hesitate—he’s definitely attracted to her. The tension is palpable, but will anything come of it?
THE AFTER-PARTY CHAOS
As the night winds down, the drama isn’t over yet. Imrul, ever the wildcard, brings two mystery women home from the club. Their identities remain unknown, as they refuse to sign release forms. Imrul, in what’s becoming a pattern, covers the bedroom camera, raising questions among the housemates.
While some find his antics amusing, others wonder if he’s actively avoiding transparency. Being on a reality show means living your life on camera—Imrul’s secrecy is starting to rub people the wrong way. Is he just enjoying himself, or is he trying to hide something?
LOOKING AHEAD
With emotions still raw and relationships shifting, the fallout from this episode will undoubtedly shape the rest of the season. Will West and Ciara ever find closure? Is Jesse’s boundary-pushing behavior going to create more problems? And what exactly is Imrul hiding?
The Summer House may be known for its parties, but this episode proved that the real action happens when the music stops. Stay tuned for more drama, revelations, and unexpected twists in the episodes to come!
