If you're just tuning in, Summer House is all about a group of friends who spend their weeks working in the city and their weekends unwinding together at a summer house in Southampton, New York.
And Carl Radke had some exciting news to reveal in Season 9, Episode 10 of Summer House. After a lively trip to Montauk, Carl sat down with Ciara Miller and Jesse Solomon to debrief on all the chaos — and to reveal a major update about his love life. While the weekend was full of classic summer shenanigans, Carl’s breakthrough moment stood out.
The getaway proved to be a turning point for Carl, who has spent much of the season focusing on personal growth. Fans have watched him navigate ups and downs, but now, Carl seems ready to embrace a new chapter. With friendships evolving, new flings blossoming, and the ever-present Montauk magic in the air, it's clear the summer is just heating up.
Carl's Montauk weekend shakes up Summer House dynamics
Ciara kicked things off by asking Carl,
"How was Montauk, and what'd you get into?"
Carl didn't hold back.
"It was fun. I… I met a cute girl," he admitted.
As the questions kept coming, Carl eventually confessed that things got a little more serious than just meeting someone.
"We just had fun," he said, before confirming to a shocked Ciara, "We did," when she asked if they had intercourse.
Ciara's excitement for Carl was clear when she exclaimed,
"I'm just happy for you."
Jesse, meanwhile, couldn't resist adding his own commentary, giggling:
"He was wearing my sunglasses."
After months of self-reflection and a dry spell, Carl seems ready to open himself up again — even if he's keeping it casual for now.
Moments like these keep Summer House feeling light and real. Even though the housemates love a dramatic moment, they also show up for each other when it counts. Carl's breakthrough is another reminder of how these friendships keep evolving, especially during a wild summer.
Ciara and Jesse make their own Montauk plans on Summer House
While Carl celebrated his new romance, Ciara and Jesse started plotting their own Montauk trip — and it was just as hilarious as you'd expect from these two. As Ciara eagerly suggested another Montauk weekend, Jesse played it cool.
"Sooo, Montauk next weekend!! Okay, cool,"
Ciara said. Jesse, still teasing, asked,
"Do you want to?" when she brought up returning to Montauk.
Ciara offered to Carl,
"Sunday, I'm going back out there, so you can ride with me."
Ciara and Jesse sealed the deal with a handshake, but the teasing didn't take long to kick back in. Jesse joked,
"Ciara, enough with the touching," prompting Ciara to apologize with a laugh.
"Sorry. Wait really?" she asked.
Jesse grinned and said,
"Well, I was the one who got yelled at," a callback to an earlier house drama.
These small, funny exchanges make Summer House such a fan favorite. The friendships, flirty jokes, and endless Montauk trips keep things fresh.
What's next for Carl and the Summer House crew?
After breaking the streak and making a real connection, Carl seems ready to see what the rest of the summer brings. While he played it cool about where things stand — "we'll see where that goes" — there's definitely a new spark in the air.
Meanwhile, Ciara and Jesse's playful dynamic continues to add humor and heart to Summer House. Their handshake moment and teasing banter prove that, even after all the drama, this house still knows how to have fun.
As the season rolls on, fans can expect more Montauk weekends, more late-night talks, and plenty of surprises. One thing's for sure: the Summer House crew knows how to keep things interesting, and Carl's weekend adventure is just the beginning.
From new beginnings to old friendships, Montauk weekends are once again reminding everyone why they tune into Summer House week after week — and why summer drama is the best drama of all.
