As Electra & Co. Go Ballistic Over Deke’s Remy Reveal, Brooke Puts a Game-Changing Question to Deacon
As the episode began, Deke was blindsided as Electra expressed her horror that Remy, of all people, is his boyfriend. “It’s really good to see you,” Remy told his victim. Bro, no. Just no. Read the room. Will was ready to lunge at Remy when an utterly confused Deke finally asked how Electra knew his beau. Only then did Remy’s dark secret begin to come out. “What are you not telling me?”
Remy’s Secret Comes Out at Last
Remy explained to Deke that he and Electra had been besties in high school and he’d moved to L.A. to be near her. Nuh-uh, that wasn’t the part that Will wanted Remy to cop to. “Tell Deke how you used and traumatized Electra,” Will ordered. “I was a different person back then,” Remy sobbed.
When Remy’s account of what had transpired wasn’t explicit enough, Electra, Ivy and Katie filled in the blanks, making it clear to Deke that his honey had released fake nudes of the jewelry designer on the internet. “I didn’t want to lose her,” Remy cried. He wanted to get her other friends to turn their backs on her, so he could be her only one.
On the plus side, Remy tried to say, Electra left for L.A. because of his actions, and hey, that had worked out pretty well, hadn’t it? Yeah, no. That diversion wasn’t gonna cut it. She then reminded Remy that when she’d found the stalker wall in his apartment, he’d chased her “like an animal.”
In other words, as Will put it to Deke, “Remy’s not the person you think.”
Brooke Ordered the Recap Special at Il Giardino
At Il Giardino, Brooke told Deacon that she was there to check on him and talk about the “Lope” wedding. When she gleaned that he was thinking of reuniting with Sheila, she gasped, “Deacon, no! Why?” Brooke then reminded him that his wife had lied to him. So how on earth could he take her back? “Taylor,” he said, adding that she’d, ahem,
When Brooke pushed, Deacon shoved back, metaphorically speaking, and insisted that Sheila was what he wanted — even if that meant he’d soon be given the third degree by Deke and Hope. Talk then turned to Deke and his welcome-to-Forrester party.
Sheila Awkwardly Thanked Taylor
In Taylor’s office, she was distracted from updating her notes on Deacon with daydreams about her patient. Just then, in walked Sheila like she owned the place. “Deacon came home,” she said, “and it’s all because of you.” She wasn’t looking for insight into her husband, she just wanted to thank Taylor for taking her marriage in her “capable, caring hands. It’s quite evident that you made an impact on Deacon.”
“Whatever Deacon chose, that was his choice,” Taylor insisted. Nevertheless, Sheila wasn’t done fawning all over the shrink she only recently threatened to murder. She went on to blather about how sexy her husband is — a “bonafide catch” — and admit that she’d worried he’d turn to someone else. In turn, Taylor reassured Sheila that Deacon adored her.
Remy Pleaded for Forgiveness
In the episode’s final moments, Sheila told Taylor she’d have to be on her best behavior from here on out. Mm-hmm. And this time she meant it. Sure, Jan. At the same time, Deacon and Brooke recapped how Deke had gotten the gig at Forrester on his own merits, not because he’s Hope’s brother. Yes, we know, we know!
Before Brooke left the eatery, she got in one last crack about how she’d hoped Taylor would make Deacon see that there are other women out there. Oh, judging from his and Taylor’s his-and-hers daydreams about one another, it’s safe to say that the doc opened his eyes to different possibilities.
A tearful Remy admitted that he did what Ivy & Co. said he did. “But I was struggling with who I was back then… I was going through some kind of breakdown,” he suggested. “I’m so sorry, Electra. Just please hear me out.” Nah. Nobody was gonna do that. “All I want is a second chance,” he told Electra. “Can you look into that big heart and forgive me? I’m begging you.”
Maybe it’s just the way Christian Weissmann is playing it, but isn’t it weirdly easier to feel sorry for Remy than it’s ever been for Luna? Then again, he didn’t murder two people and engage in a daycare shootout.
Vanderpump Empire Shaken as Ken Todd Sued for $80K Unpaid Rent!
The glittering world of Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd has just been hit with a brutal reality check. A stunning legal assault has been launched against Ken, accusing him of owing $80,000 in unpaid rent for their once-iconic restaurant, Villa Blanca, and directly challenging the carefully crafted story Lisa told the world about its closure.
THE LANDLORDS' REVENGE: "FAILED AND REFUSED TO PAY"
According to explosive court documents, the landlords are painting a picture not of a mutual, pandemic-forced closure, but of a tenant who simply stopped paying. The lawsuit alleges that Ken and his company "failed and refused to make all the payments of rent due under the lease."
The most damning claim? The landlords state that Ken's attempt to terminate the lease was an illegal move and that the lease remains active. They are now demanding not just the $80,000 in back rent, but another $80,000 in damages, bringing the total to a staggering $160,000.
LISA'S 'FALSE NARRATIVE'? INSIDE THE FINANCIAL 'NIGHTMARE'
This legal bombshell directly contradicts the narrative Lisa Vanderpump herself spun just months ago. She publicly blamed the landlord's unwillingness to "renegotiate" during the pandemic as the sole reason for the closure. But these court documents suggest a different, more damaging story.
This lawsuit comes on the heels of Lisa's own shocking admissions of financial hardship. She previously described the past year as a "nightmare," admitting that "five months of paying rent and insurance, and having no business is taxing."
An insider source commented on the discrepancy: "Lisa tried to control the narrative by blaming the landlord, making it seem like a noble exit. But these legal documents suggest a different story: that they simply stopped paying. It's a PR crisis in the making, because it makes her previous statements look like a calculated lie."
THE CONCLUSION
Two stories have now emerged. One is of a powerful couple victimized by a greedy landlord and a global pandemic. The other is of tenants who allegedly breached a contract and are now facing the legal consequences. The Vanderpump empire was built on an image of untouchable glamour and business savvy. With this lawsuit, a major crac
