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.

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.
