Theres always a little bit of truth in those jokes, sir.

Fingers crossed, kids.

They work together, live together, and work out together.

Tom even shares hair ties with Ariana to keep his man bun going.

James meets up with the couple for a little Crunch Fitness and gab session.

Good old Tom has some solid advice for James, though: Jerk off while looking in the mirror.

That always makes me feel better, he says.

We should unpack that, but honestly, I dont really want to.

Speaking of good TV, lets get to the nitty gritty of the drama for James.

Lalas friend, Ellie former Villa Blanca server drops the bomb she slept with James only a month ago.

So now he has GGandthis Ellie chick to make him look (even more) like a slimeball.

Weve all seen him.

He then follows this up by saying, I just love poking him to get him riled up.

Well, I could say the same thing about you, Kristen, says Ariana.

We then get a glorious clips reel of Kristen punching James, Schwartz and Sandoval in their faces.

I think we all need a slight breather from the drama, so lets talk clothes.

It looks like the SUR staff is getting new outfits, or at least the male servers are.

Apparently, Scheana had no idea Ellie had ever hooked up with James, let alone a month ago.

This becomes Scheanas complete focus, and suddenly shes planned a breakfast with Ellie to get more intel.

Why would someone even date him?

She then gives a PSA on sex tapes: Woman of America, stop making sex tapes.

They will get out there.

All three ladies then turn the tables, taking on Lala and her married man.

Do we know who these sources are?

But it doesnt seem to matter to anyone, so I guess thats that.

Attempting to get the real story, Lala hits up James to hear his side of the Ellie story.

Right away, James denies Ellies claims they slept together, even with the photo evidence.

There are so many apps that can change the date, he pulls out of his butt.

Lala sweetly lets this slide but pushes him to be completely honest with her.

Ive heard youre with a married man, he says.

Lala looks dumbfounded, unsure of how to proceed with her partner-in-crime.

Are they both living a lie?
