Vanderpump Rules Season 12 Episode 7, titled “Paso Aggressive,” proves once again that good intentions never survive a night at SUR.
What begins as a celebration of two decades of Lisa Vanderpump’s iconic restaurant quickly spirals into public arguments, relationship instability, and a scandalous revelation that follows the cast out of Los Angeles.
SUR Turns 20 — and the Drama Shows Up Early
Lisa Vanderpump hosts a lavish anniversary party to mark 20 years of SUR, expecting professionalism and restraint from her staff. Instead, the night becomes a reminder of why this group can’t stay out of trouble.
Marcus quietly fuels tension between Natalie and Kim, resulting in a heated exchange that unfolds right in front of guests. Lisa is forced to step in, clearly disappointed that her milestone event is being overshadowed by personal conflicts.
Meanwhile, Jason’s absence from work the previous night puts him squarely in Lisa’s crosshairs. When questioned, he blames technical issues with scheduling — an excuse Lisa finds hard to believe, especially given his claims of being pre-med.
Jason’s Menu Knowledge Raises Red Flags
Lisa keeps a close eye on Jason during the party, and her concerns only grow. While serving appetizers, Jason struggles to explain what he’s offering guests, including SUR’s famously popular goat cheese balls.
Venus later points out the obvious: knowing the menu is basic restaurant knowledge. Lisa jokes in her confessional that Jason seems far more informed about his personal hobbies than her food — a remark that foreshadows the scandal to come.
Marcus and Kim: A Cycle That Won’t Break
Away from the party chaos, Marcus and Kim once again attempt to patch things up. Marcus apologizes for previous outbursts, blaming alcohol and emotional stress tied to the loss of his parents.
Kim forgives him, but admits she’s exhausted by the repeated pattern of reconciliation followed by conflict. Their relationship remains fragile, and by episode’s end, they’re already heading toward another breakup.
Angelica and Shayne Hit an Early Wall
Angelica goes on a beachside lunch date with Shayne, hoping for a fresh start. She makes her expectations clear — monogamy is non-negotiable.
Shayne responds honestly, revealing he’s ethically non-monogamous. Despite the glaring incompatibility, Angelica convinces herself that things could still work, ignoring the warning signs piling up in front of her.
The Anniversary Ends, But the Tension Travels
After Lisa unveils a new cast photo honoring SUR’s next generation, the group prepares for a trip to Paso Robles for her wine event. The car assignments alone hint at unresolved tension, with cast members carefully separated to avoid blowups.
Marcus and Kim ride together, though their relationship officially ends — again — before the trip even begins.
A Shocking OnlyFans Reveal Changes Everything
A stop at the Madonna Inn provides a brief pause in the drama, but it doesn’t last. Once settled at their destination, Angelica pulls Kim and Demy aside with information she’s been holding onto.
She reveals the existence of an explicit video involving Jason and Chris on OnlyFans, describing graphic content that leaves the group stunned. Demy confirms the footage is intense and far more revealing than expected, raising serious questions about boundaries and honesty.
The revelation immediately casts a shadow over the trip and threatens multiple relationships.
Final Thoughts on Episode 7
Season 12, Episode 7 reinforces a familiar truth: no matter the setting — a glamorous party or a wine retreat — unresolved issues always surface. Between crumbling relationships, questionable professionalism, and scandalous secrets, Vanderpump Rules continues to thrive on emotional fallout.
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and streams the following day on Peacock.
