\tAfter the second part of the explosive Summer House<\/a><\/em> reunion, Bravo<\/a> wasn\u2019t quite ready to reveal what they had planned next for viewers of the hit reality series. But now that the third and final episode of the must-see reunion has aired, the network has some news: Summer House: The Aftermath<\/em> is coming.<\/p>\n

\tSummer House<\/em> is airing a bonus episode June 16 at 8 p.m. on Bravo, following Tuesday\u2019s conclusion of the three-part reunion<\/a>. The reunion taped back on April 23, and the Truly Original production team fired the cameras back up after that marathon taping day, per certain cast member requests, in hopes of providing more answers and clarity among this now-fractured group after Amanda Batula<\/a> and West Wilson\u2019s surprise relationship was exposed. \t<\/p>\n

\tThe added episode will feature three separate conversations between castmembers Batula and Lindsay Hubbard; Kyle Cooke<\/a> and Wilson; and Ciara Miller<\/a> and Meija Moreno, the latter being Wilson\u2019s ex-girlfriend and the subject of the biggest bombshell to come out of the third part<\/a> of the reunion when West admitted to his castmembers that Moreno thought they were in an exclusive relationship even though he was not being monogamous, which raised questioned about when his relationship with Batula, which prompted the current Summer House<\/em> scandal, actually began.<\/p>\n

\tThe sitdowns were filmed three weeks after the reunion. Here\u2019s the episode tease from Bravo: \u201cThree weeks after the emotional reunion taping,\u00a0Lindsay gives Amanda some tough love\u00a0while\u00a0Kyle seeks honesty from\u00a0West.\u00a0Ciara\u00a0meets up with\u00a0Meija\u00a0in-person.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tThe Hollywood Reporter<\/em> last week had asked<\/a> Josh Brown, vp of current production for Bravo,\u00a0if they would consider a check-in episode post-reunion, since the drama around this group has continued to unfold in real time. At that time, Brown said \u201cwe would consider anything if we thought it was important storytelling. \u2026 We\u2019ll never hesitate to pick up cameras at an important time. I wish we could film 365 days a year! We can\u2019t, but we won\u2019t hesitate to pick up cameras if there\u2019s something important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tNow he\u2019s ready to share all of the details about how the bonus episode came together, as he dives into the third in a series of chats with THR<\/em><\/a> about the latest and final reunion episode \u2014 which brought about answers, and even more questions. \u201cWe\u2019re really excited about sharing something that can hopefully take the conversation to different and more illuminating levels,\u201d he says of next week\u2019s bonus hour. \u201cI think it\u2019s too simplistic to say \u2018closure\u2019 \u2026 but I think viewers will find it pretty fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t***<\/p>\n

\tYou had a great poker face when I asked you last week <\/a>about the possibility of a bonus episode of Summer House<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\t(Laughs<\/em>.) You know what? This was something that came up very recently. Something unexpected that came together at the last minute. We were not planning for this long term. That spontaneity the viewer might feel, we feel that way, too.<\/p>\n

\tEverything that\u2019s been shot since the reunion [that will air on the bonus episode] has been something that a castmember or two has asked for. They asked for cameras, because they felt they had something important to share with the viewers and with each other. So we\u2019re reacting to their wishes. We didn\u2019t know exactly where we were going to use the material or how. It only became evident in the past few days how we were going to use it, so it\u2019s come together, really, at the last second. \t<\/p>\n

\tSo this bonus episode, Summer House: The Aftermath<\/em>, consists of three conversations: One between Amanda and Lindsay, another with Kyle and West (which we had heard about), and then a third with Ciara and Meija?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tYes, that\u2019s exactly it. It was actually Andy [Cohen] who inspired us to go for it.<\/p>\n

\tWhat did he say?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tAndy comes from news, as he\u2019s often talked about, and I think he feels these are really important conversations in the context of the series. Sometimes when you cut things too short, you can\u2019t get to the deeper levels. I think viewers will see in watching this bonus episode that we\u2019re able to get to some deeper levels by allowing the conversations to play at longer lengths.<\/p>\n

\tWhen did you film each of these conversations? (Reminder: The reunion filmed on April 23<\/em>.<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\tThese conversations were filmed [three] weeks after we filmed the reunion. It depended on the scene. It wasn\u2019t immediately after, it was a few weeks later, so closer to when we\u2019re talking now.<\/p>\n

\tThe reunion concluded tonight with Lindsay saying she feels like she still has a ton of questions. There were answers from West and Amanda, but they raised more questions. Is this bonus episode a response to that feeling?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tI think it\u2019s going to feel that way to viewers, because it does directly speak to those questions Lindsay raised. But we didn\u2019t see it that way when we were picking up cameras. We were responding to these different cast member requests to see if we could follow something real that\u2019s going on. If Lindsay and Amanda are talking and trying to hash things out, we want to be there. We don\u2019t want that to be off camera. The same with Kyle and West, and Ciara and Meija talking through what\u2019s going on since the reunion. We were just thinking that we wanted it to be on camera rather than off camera. \t<\/p>\n

\tWas this a request from one cast member in each of these conversations, or the pair getting together saying, \u201cWe want to discuss this? Can you film?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tIt depends on the conversation, and which one you\u2019re talking about. But overall, both cast members in each scene \u2014 and obviously, Meija as well \u2014 knew these would be filmed scenes.<\/p>\n

\tHow do those conversations play out? Are the producers leading the conversation? What\u2019s the format?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tThese are just conversations people would have in real life. They happen in different people\u2019s apartments \u2014 someone coming over to someone else\u2019s place, and talking in the same way that would happen with anybody in New York City. There\u2019s no producer involvement. The cast members were talking to each other.<\/p>\n

\tAre you able to tease a theme or topic of discussion with each of these conversations, or what, if anything, gets answered or clarified?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tThe reunion really captured a moment in time both for West and Amanda, and for the cast and their friends\u2019 reaction to their relationship. I think you\u2019ll see in this extra episode how things have evolved even in the few short weeks since then.<\/p>\n

\tDo you feel like they reach closure, at least in the scenarios with Lindsay and Amanda, or Kyle and West? Do they get to a new place?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tThose two conversations definitely get to a new place. I think it\u2019s too simplistic to say \u201cclosure.\u201d These are issues that are going to take a lot of time to work through, if they ever get worked through. I don\u2019t really know where it\u2019s going to go in the future, but it definitely got to very interesting new levels of understanding where the other person is coming from. I think viewers will find it pretty fascinating. \t<\/p>\n
