The second weekend of the summer is a big one and the crew prepares for their big July 4th bash. Kyle and Amanda talk about the next steps for their relationship while Carl and Lauren struggle with unresolved feelings. But when Danielle drops a bomb during a girls' day, everything comes to a head as the crew celebrates the country's independence in glorious fashion.

Tensions are running high in the house, and Lindsay finds herself in the middle of the drama. The crew sets off for a sunset sail and beach bonfire, where these tensions boil over. The housemates return to the Hamptons, where Kyle and Amanda’s relationship faces setbacks. Danielle gains her housemates access to a very special place in the Hamptons with hopes that it will bring them all back to harmony.

With the summer house finally back to its free-spirited, hard partying ways, Amanda begins to show her frustration with Kyle’s continued boozy behavior and decides to let him have a weekend to himself. Lindsay gets in touch with her ex, Everett after failing to forget about him. Meanwhile, Lauren and Carl appear to have moved past the fiasco from the 4th and are back to being friends (with benefits) but Danielle continues to be an unwelcome third party in their relationship.

Lauren's twin sister, Ashley, is back in the Hamptons for their older sister's bachelorette weekend and she is not happy to see how cozy Carl and Lauren have gotten. Lindsay goes on her first date since Everett with a hot younger man. Kyle takes a big step with Amanda during a romantic dinner. And Stephen finally puts his issues with Carl out on the table.

The gang hosts their moms for the weekend. Lindsay tries to be a good friend. Kyle braces for his mother officially meeting Amanda’s mother.

The moms’ weekend comes to a close with a revealing game before the gang all head back to the city. Everyone returns to the Hamptons ready to celebrate Kyle’s birthday weekend. Carl and Lauren clear the air of all the past weekend’s drama, Stephen goes on a blind date, and Danielle has a houseguest. Everything kicks into high gear when Kyle’s “revolutionary” 35th birthday party gets officially sent as Lindsay anxiously awaits the arrival of a very special guest.

Kyle's epic 35th birthday party ends with a major disruption from Lindsay; Stephen visits his family in Alabama; Amanda becomes frustrated by Kyle's behavior on a party bus; Carl and Lauren try out the friend zone, with questionable results.

Kyle and Amanda’s relationship feels the strain of existing in the house while Lindsay attempts to get her single summer back on track and Lauren moves on from Carl with a few new prospects. Back from Alabama, Stephen is ready to take his fling more seriously but struggles with mixed signals and Carl asks for permission to let a new love interest spend the night.

Kyle and Amanda attempt to repair their ever-growing rift; Carl chooses to put his cards on the table with his latest lady friend; Lindsay has some shocking news for Everett; Lauren's twin, Ashley, returns and sees some welcome changes in her sister.

It's the final weekend of summer and the house throws a massive luau. Ashley's husband arrives just as everyone is at odds with each other. Carl and Stephen confront their issues. And the housemates have had enough of Kyle and Amanda's drama.

The gang sit down with Andy Cohen to discuss season two shenanigans and everything that went down on and off screen.
