The Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale trailer just dropped, and there are several shocking revelations to unpack. With the tone of the season revolving around infidelity and trust, things started out with Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney trying to be civil after settling their divorce. However, that peaceful mindset was short-lived, as Tom and his statuesque cast mate Raquel Leviss hooked up. They did so despite Katie’s agreement with Tom not to get intimate with anyone within their tight-knit group. Tom and Raquel didn’t wind up an item, and suspicions arose about James Kennedy’s ex-fiancee. Raquel appeared to be spending a lot of time with Tom Sandoval.
Tom, who had been dating Ariana Madix for nearly ten years, tried to reassure anyone who asked that he and Raquel were merely friends, but there was skepticism, as more details about Tom and Raquel’s seeming closeness surfaced. Though Tom and Ariana seemed like they had a stable relationship, things weren’t great for the couple. Tom would talk to almost anyone about Ariana, and how her actions were straining their relationship. Though Tom and Raquel’s affair has yet to be revealed on VPR, the finale trailer shows just how much goes down once it’s out in the open.

In a recent episode, however, Scheana was shown defending Tom, and saying that there was likely nothing improper about his relationship with Raquel. In the trailer, Scheana is shown talking to Tom candidly about the affair, presumably for the first time.
