Picking up in the aftermath of Scheana Marie's near-perfect wedding, Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 17 found Jax Taylor struggling to remain loyal ... again.
What else is new? Not much, if you ask Tom Sandoval.
When Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 17 started out, everyone not named James was feeling pretty good about life after Scheana's wedding.
How quickly things can change in the Land of SUR.
Those who watch Vanderpump rules online know Tom Sandoval's alleged dalliances with Miami Girl have been a recurring plot line here in Season 3.
Well, this week Jax turned on his BFF hardcore.
Succumbing to peer pressure like it's his job, he told Kristen Doute and Scheana Marie that Tom did have sexy time with Miami Girl (a.k.a. Annemarie Kunkel).
In other words, he cheated on Ariana Madix.
The beautiful (without trying too hard), funny, super cool, laid back Ariana Madix, who is basically his or any other guy's dream girl any day of the week.
Not a good situation Tom put himself in.
Of course, the fact that Jax is a pathological liar and terrible friend, and that Kristen Doute is out to screw Tom in the figurative sense works to his advantage.
Everyone believes she is off the rails, and knows Jax will throw anyone under the bus at a moment's notice, so when they point fingers, does anyone care?
We saw Kristen Doute and James Kennedy fight at the wedding, and the reasons why, which really tells you everything you need to know about her.
The combative lovebirds were civil this week, agreeing to work on themselves before getting back together (which they have done since the episode aired).
Still, you wonder how long that will last if she can't move on from obsessing over Tom Sandoval, as even Stassi Schroeder tried in vain to convince her.
Inviting Jax out with herself, Scheana, Shay and Brittany, Kristen finally got Jax to admit Tom boned Annemarie, then threw her hands up in victory.
What did she win, exactly?
Not much, if you ask Scheana, who said that she could not care less, that she doesn’t want to ruin Ariana’s happiness with Tom, and that Doute is still nuts.
Pretty much.

To hear the new Mrs. Shay tell it in the quote of the night: “Kristen, people don’t think you’re crazy because you may or may not have told the truth about something Jax told you once."
"It’s because you slept with you ex-boyfriend’s best friend, got your friend punched in the face by a stripper, had some girl fly across the country to confront Sandoval, yelled at Lisa, got fired, and punched your boyfriend in the face at a wedding.”
Truth. And proof positive that this girl needs a good therapist as soon as humanly possible. The only downside? No video of that fight with the stripper.
What did you think of this week's episode? Is Jax the worst friend ever? Will Kristen's meddling come between Tom and Ariana Madix or not?
