Tonight's episode of Summer House MV saw the cast members begin their fun-filled summer at Martha's Vineyard. The 12 friends gathered and spent time getting to know each other, bonding with old friends, and more. However, drama wasn't far behind as some cast members got into disagreements and arguments throughout the episode.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Not Your Mama's Vineyard, reads:

"Newlyweds Jasmine and Silas head to Martha's vineyard for a much-needed vacation with friends, but things get hairy when an uninvited guest arrives; Silas' suppressed feelings about Jordan rise and causes a shakeup for the entire house."

As the Summer House MV cast members sat down to have dinner, Silas Cooper expressed concerns about his wife Jasmine hanging out with her best friend Jordan late at night partying and drinking in New York. Fellow castmates didn't see a problem with it and expressed that nights always started late in the city.

Silas, for his part, pointed out that whenever his wife was out late, it was with Jordan Emanuel. The latter failed to understand the issue and asked him if his wife had a curfew, which he and Jasmine both denied. In a confessional, Silas said:

"You're in a pandemic at 29 years old. I enlisted in Army Reserves... Jasmine and I were away from each other for over six months. So it's still new to see her in a setting with a group of the girls. And I'm still adjusting to that."

The Summer House MV cast member recalled a phone call where his wife revealed they were having free drinks. He thought that other men were buying the ladies' drinks, but Jordan clarified that it was a free bar. In a confessional, she said:

"It's exhausting...the idea that men need to be our knight in shining armor..that we cannot go out without being prey for the predator."

Jordan further explained that she knew Jasmine longer than him and that her best friend should be allowed to make her own decisions. The star further explained that she knew how to take care of herself and wouldn't need a man to protect her.
