A bonus episode of Summer House is set to air next week on Bravo in which fans will get to see cast member West Wilson candidly (and a bit awkwardly) admit to Kyle Cooke that he’s in love with Amanda Batula and allegedly has been “for a very, very long time.”
The news of the special episode– aptly titled, Summer House: The Aftermath– was revealed after the conclusion of the three-part Season 10 Reunion on Tuesday. The trailer for the bonus episode shows one-on-one conversations between cast members Kyle and West, Amanda and Lindsay Hubbard, and Ciara Miller and West’s ex-girlfriend Meija, with each interaction seemingly focusing solely on the fallout from West and Amanda’s relationship.
As The Ashley previously told you, West and Amanda revealed in a joint statement at the end of March that they were in a “very new” relationship following weeks of speculation online.
Despite the many rumors, ‘Summer House’ fans, as well as the cast of the Bravo series, were left shocked by the confirmation of the roomie romance, including Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle, and Ciara, who happens to be West’s ex-girlfriend and Amanda’s (now former) friend.
While the Season 10 Reunion left many questions about Amanda and West’s relationship unanswered, fans will get a bit of resolution during the bonus episode next week when West finally comes clean about his feelings for Amanda after both parties denied being in love during Part 3 of the Reunion.
“Do you love her?” Kyle asks West in ‘Summer House: The Aftermath’ trailer, to which West responds, “Do you want full honesty, even though it could be possibly hurtful today?”
After Kyle confirms that he wants to hear the truth, West proceeds to reveal that his feelings for Amanda are, and allegedly have been, real.
“I do love her and, like, have for a very, very long time,” West claims.
West’s declaration of love comes on the heels of him telling host Andy Cohen at the Reunion that he and Amanda “are not using the word ‘love’ right now.”
“It’s so early,” Amanda added, with West going on to explain, “It’s been two months, three months … .”
Cast member Jesse Soloman then proceeded to interrupt his coupled-up costars to reveal to the group that West had recently told him that he “think he loves [Amanda].” (According to a timeline Jesse posted Wednesday on social media, West made this comment to him on March 31– one day after West and Amanda dropped their joint statement on social media.)
West assured Andy during Part 3 of the Reunion that he was “very much committed” in his relationship to Amanda, while Amanda insisted that there had been conversations between her and West “about the serious[ness] of our feelings,” despite neither having said “I love you” yet.
The two did, however, go on to confirm to the group that they were officially dating each other exclusively.
‘Summer House: The Aftermath’ airs Tuesday, June 16, on Bravo. Watch the trailer for the bonus episode below.

I’m n desperate need of distraction, and this has at least delivered. Curious about finale.
This was one of the most awkward reunions ever. Jesse crying, Ciara crying, KJ crying, Kyle crying and Amanda sits there completely cold with no emotion whatsoever. West just had a dumb look on his face the entire time. West and Amanda both proved how spineless they really are.
And Kyle is still hardcore defending Amanda like West manipulated her into a relationship when she was oh so broken from leaving Kyle.🙄Amanda is not a victim she is a fully consenting participant in this shit show of a relationship with West.
