The three-part reunion for Summer House has officially concluded, leaving viewers with lingering questions about the true status of West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s relationship. Throughout the final episode, the cast addressed the timeline of the couple's romance and the subsequent fallout with their friends.
Defining the Relationship
During the episode, host Andy Cohen pressed the pair on whether they are “in love.” West, 31, clarified, “We are not using the word ‘love’ right now,” noting that their relationship is still relatively new. Amanda, 34, agreed, adding that they are still having serious conversations about the future of their feelings.
A major point of contention was the issue of fidelity. While West admitted he was not exclusively dating Amanda immediately after they first acknowledged their feelings, he insisted he has been fully dedicated to her since they made their relationship official.
The Confrontation with Kyle Cooke
Kyle Cooke, who announced his separation from Amanda in January after four years of marriage, sought clarity on whether the pair had been involved while he and Amanda were still married. Both West and Amanda vehemently denied any physical infidelity, with Amanda stating, “On my life, on the dogs’ life, no.”
Kyle expressed deep hurt, noting that he once considered West one of his best friends. “I was texting you in early February not knowing you’re in Miami on a dinner date with her,” Kyle shared, highlighting the betrayal he felt regarding the speed at which the pair began their romance.
Ciara Miller’s Perspective
The reunion was particularly difficult for Ciara Miller, who previously dated West. Ciara accused both West and Amanda of being “calculated” in how they navigated their connection while keeping it hidden from the rest of the group. Reflecting on the betrayal, Amanda tearfully apologized to Ciara: “I f*ed up and I am deeply sorry for betraying your trust. And it kills me to know that I have caused you this pain.”
Ciara remained skeptical, questioning whether West’s pursuit of Amanda was partly motivated by a desire to spite her. For his part, West admitted that he had not been honest with other women he was dating previously, including Meija Moreno, acknowledging that he had misled them regarding the exclusivity of his relationships.
Moving Forward
As the reunion came to a close, the cast remained divided. While Jesse Solomon expressed sorrow over the fracturing of their friend group, West and Amanda discussed their hope to recapture the “special” bond they shared in the early stages of their romance. Despite the emotional turmoil, the cast attempted to end the season on a lighter note, celebrating a fundraising achievement for a local Girl Scout troop, though the underlying tensions regarding the group's future remain unresolved.
