Being James Kennedy's girlfriend is hard, just ask Raquel Leviss about it. In the previous episode of 'Vanderpump Rules', we saw James being annoyed with his girlfriend for missing his set at TomTom during the Pride celebrations.

Following this incident, she quickly ditches her work and goes to her boyfriend to ensure that things are okay between them. Later, James sits with Lisa Vanderpump to get her feedback about his DJ-ing at the event.

During their conversation, he slips in that Raquel came down to support him. Lisa is taken by surprise on learning that Raquel was at TomTom instead of SUR where she was supposed to be working.
 
In the upcoming episode, we see Lisa address Raquel's work ethics. She asks Raquel who she played hooky at work. The former beauty queen then begins explaining about how she felt the need to "babysit" her boyfriend to ensure he didn't do anything wrong and apologizes for missing work.

Lisa reluctantly forgives Raquel and reveals that the thought of firing her crossed her mind for skipping work without informing anyone. The former housewife then advises Raquel to not go down the same destructive path her boyfriend has taken and to be smart with her decisions.

Looks like Raquel managed to get away from being fired by the skin of her teeth, hopefully, she won’t get into Lisa's bad books again.



 

The upcoming episode will also feature Ariana Madix and new waitress Dayna Kathan bonding over their sexual orientation.  While this is Ariana’s first pride after coming out of the closet as being bisexual, Dayna too came out during the pride about being bi.

The ladies seem to be happy to have found each other and bond over how accepting everybody around them was. They jokingly call themselves "bi-sisters". We also see Dayna and her boyfriend Max Boyens discussing making their relationship "exclusive".
