The latest episode of Vanderpump Rules addressed the speculation surrounding James Kennedy's reunion with his dog, Graham. Fans had questioned whether a scene featuring Lisa Vanderpump reuniting James with Graham at Vanderpump Dogs was scripted. The episode debunked this theory by showing Lisa bringing Graham on a private plane to Lake Tahoe and surprising James in front of the cast.
Graham, originally owned by Rachel Leviss, had made occasional appearances on the show. After Rachel's decision to rehome him due to aggressive behavior, Lisa adopted Graham and orchestrated the surprise reunion with James. Rachel clarified that she surrendered Graham to a rescue for rehoming, refuting claims of him being in a 'kill shelter.'
James expressed his joy at having Graham back in his life, reminiscing about their bond. However, his girlfriend Ally had reservations about taking care of Rachel's pet. The cast welcomed Graham on their night out in Lake Tahoe, with most members happy to see James reunited with his beloved dog.
While the episode showcased the emotional reunion, tensions arose between James and Sandoval, who expressed doubts about James' claims regarding Graham. Sandoval chose not to confront James, avoiding potential conflict within the group.
Vanderpump Rules fans can catch Season 11 on Bravo on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock the following day.
