Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 16 Recap: Jax Loses His S--t on Sandoval!

Last night on Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 16, Stassi and Scheana actually made up, and yet that wasn’t the episode’s top shocker!



Picking up where we left off last week, Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 16 began in the wake of Stassi Schroeder’s apology tour.


Incredibly – and as intriguing as a Stassi Schroeder sex tape featuring her solo action is – this was all but forgotten by the night’s end.


That’s ’cause Jax Taylor’s outburst at Tom Sandoval in crazy, ridiculous fashion left fans with one of those vintage OMG Bravo moments.


Where to begin …


After Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney argued over Schwartz inviting Stassi to their engagement party, Sandoval comforted his namesake.


Jax didn’t agree.


Taylor told Schwartz just how wrong he was for inviting Stassi, which is debatable for sure, but wasn’t the underlying cause of his rant.


When he laid into Sandoval as well, for kind of no reason at all, it became clear he had a bigger axe to grind, nonsensical as it may be.


Sandoval he needs to stop acting like the “Team Captain,” or the “No. 1 guy in the group,” because that is Jax’s role … according to Jax.


Not to mention, Jax is getting so sick of hearing about Tom’s career, especially band, which is amusingly named Charles McMansion.


Bottom line: Jax is jealous as s–t and needs a whole team of therapists, because his insecurities manifest themselves in unhealthy ways.



At the end of the day, Sandoval’s accomplishments are relatively modest, but he’s proud of them in a non-cocky, mostly self-aware way.


Jax just has issues.


Perhaps, whether Jax is arrested for stealing sunglasses in Hawaii or just being a 36-year-old waste of space in general, he’s a bit insecure.


Or a lot insecure.


Jax even went so far as to tell Schwartz that Stassi only reached out to him ’cause he’s “the weak link” in the group, which was a low blow.


Sandoval didn’t care for this dig coming from Jax, taking offense and getting his friend’s back, and we faded to black as the credits rolled.


A real cliffhanger, Vanderpump style. One can only imagine the epic emotional turmoil that will clearly result from Jax being called out.


Also when you watch Vanderpump Rules online this week, Schwartz quit his gig with Lisa so he can focus on his modeling / acting career.


Lisa was disappointed.


Tom Sandoval was possibly even more disappointed. Katie Maloney was really, really disappointed. The fallout from this could be huge.


Also, Kristen Doute is moving on in her dating life and Lala Kent is horny as all getout. Okay, that didn’t come up, but you know it’s true.
