Ep 20. Brittany and the Beast

Brittany and the Beast is the twentieth episode of the seventh season of Vanderpump Rules. This episode highlights the turmoil between Jax, Brittany, and her family. The episode revolves around the events leading up to Jax and Brittany's engagement party.

At the beginning of the episode, we see Scheana inviting Peter to be her date to Jax and Brittany's engagement party although things didn't go well between them earlier. Meanwhile, Brittany receives a call from her mother, Sherri. Sherri is upset with Jax and is questioning if he will make a good husband. Brittany struggles with the idea of her family not supporting her engagement. She breaks down crying to the other girls at SUR, admitting that she doesn't know what to do.

Later on, Brittany and Jax meet with a wedding planner to talk about the plans for their wedding. However, things quickly get tense as Jax is unwilling to compromise on any of the details, frustrating Brittany. He insists on having 'Jax-approved' vendors, which spirals into a petty fight that ultimately wastes the wedding planner's time.

As the date of the engagement party draws near, Brittany's family continues to question Jax's motives. Her father, Don, sits Jax down to have a serious conversation about the engagement. Jax is visibly on edge during their conversation as he is challenged about his past relationships and his history with Brittany. Don expresses his concerns about Jax's fidelity and warns him that he will need to earn their trust if he intends to marry Brittany.

The day of the engagement party arrives, and Sherri, Brittany's mother, is still not over the fact that Jax is marrying her daughter. She decides to confront Jax head-on, and an awkward argument ensues. Sherri finds Jax to be very disrespectful and unable to understand Brittany's feelings. There is an incredibly tense scene with Brittany, her mother and Jax where Brittany leaves in tears.

As the episode winds down, we see glimpses of next week's episode, where more dramatic events seem to be on the horizon. A disagreement erupts between Scheana and Adam after Scheana realizes that he may not be as invested as she is in their relationship. There are also clips of the other cast members, including TomTom's Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, discussing rumors of infidelity surrounding Scheana and Adam.

Overall, Brittany and the Beast is an emotional episode, with the weight of Jax's past actions continuing to cast a shadow over his relationship. Brittany's family's lack of support adds to an already tense situation, and it seems like this issue won't be resolved anytime soon. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season unfolds for Jax and Brittany, as well as the other members of the Vanderpump Rules cast.
