The timing could not be more perfectly chaotic. Amanda Batula and West Wilson were photographed at the airport heading to Italy — Rome, specifically — just hours before Part 1 of the Summer House Season 10 reunion hit Bravo on Tuesday night.

A source confirmed to TMZ that the trip is for Wilson’s cousin’s wedding abroad, and that Batula is his plus-one. Perfectly reasonable. Also, extremely convenient.

The Reunion They’re (Temporarily) Escaping

The Season 10 reunion has been one of the most anticipated in the show’s history, largely thanks to the fallout from Batula and Wilson’s relationship — which they revealed in late March after weeks of speculation. Per Page Six, leaked audio from the taping suggests the three-part reunion is going to be explosive, with the couple facing direct confrontations from their castmates.

Wilson, for his part, has been quietly addressing the scrutiny. On his podcast Show Me Something, just days before the reunion, co-host and WNBA star Sophie Cunningham asked how he and Batula are actually doing. His answer was candid: things are good, they’re solid, and they’re focused on each other rather than the noise around them.

Meanwhile, Back in New York

The rest of the cast is presumably bracing for impact. Lindsay Hubbard told PEOPLE she’s in a “better place” with Carl Radke heading into the reunion — another storyline the show has been carefully tracking. But the Batula-Wilson dynamic is the one viewers are most locked in on, and three parts means there’s plenty of time for all of it to play out.

Amanda and West are currently somewhere over the Atlantic. The reunion is airing without them — or at least, without them watching it live.
