Winter House season 2 aired a brand new episode on Thursday, October 27, 2022, at 9 pm ET on Bravo.

The one-hour episode featured the cast members spending some quality time in Stowe, Vermont, while also navigating personal relationships, friendships and professional commitments. As expected, it also documented the cast getting involved in conflicts and disagreements.

Since the premiere episode of Winter House season 2, Craig's behavior has not sat well with fellow cast members and fans, who have been extremely vocal about the same. This included Craig's girlfriend Paige, who discussed the issue with Amanda. While she explained that it bothered her, she felt that Craig was passionate when it came to addressing issues.

Fans, however, felt that Paige was only excusing Craig's behavior and not addressing the real issue with him directly, with one of them tweeting:

The official synopsis of the episode reads:

"After a heated argument, one housemate remains in exile; Paige grows frustrated with Craig's behaviour; Kory's attraction to one of the housemates starts to grow stronger."

Cast members of Winter House season 2 include Craig Conover, Kyle Cooke, Paige DeSorbo, Amanda Batula, Jason Cameron, Luke Gulbranson, Austen Kroll, and Ciara Miller, along with friends Jessica Stocker, Rachel Clark, and Kory Keefer.

On tonight's episode of Winter House, the cast realized that Luke had left the house feeling insulted after Craig accused him of making Jessica uncomfortable. The heated altercation between the two men stirred up a lot of drama the previous week which led to the ladies confronting Craig about his behavior.

After Craig revealed to the ladies, including Paige, Ciara and Amanda, that Luke had left the house, they tried to explain to him that although he wasn't wrong in taking a stand for his friends, his delivery of the message was "crazy."

In a confessional on Winter House, Paige said:

"Craig is not wrong. But when Craig gets in these righteous moments, there's no calming him down. There's no changing his mind. So it's kind of just best to let it simmer for a second. Take a beat. I think I'm gonna take up meditating in this relationship because....[laughs]."

Later on in the episode, Paige had a corporate zoom call and had warned her fellow cast members not to say anything inappropriate. However, Craig interrupted the call by doing what was warned, infuriating Paige. She said:

"I feel like everybody in this house, including my own boyfriend, thinks all of, like, my work activities are like, me playing pretend. Do me a favor and shut up."

Paige and Craig also had a brief argument where she called him out for interrupting her call. When the cast members were out, she sat with her friend Amanda to discuss Craig's behavior. Paige revealed that it was the first time the duo lived together amongst a group setting and that it was a lot different than she thought it would be.

The Winter House star continued:

"If he gets into a fight with someone -- like, him and Luke ended up getting into it -- I, like, scrammed. Skedaddled up to my room. Coz I don't know what this is about."

When Amanda suggested that Paige should confront him when he does something wrong, she replied with:

"He's very sensitive and likes to be treated like a baby...But I feel like ge's a lot more, like, passionate, and like, if he feels it, he must say it. He's very vocal."
