Selling Sunset: Season 9, Episode 11 – “Scandals and Surprises and the Revenge of Christine”
The episode opens with a dramatic shot of the Hollywood Hills, setting the stage for another intense day at The Oppenheim Group. Chelsea, as always, struts into the office wearing a dazzling, sequined gown, her stiletto heels clicking ominously against the marble floor. “Darlings, prepare yourselves,” she purrs, “I have a listing that will blow your minds.”
Cut to Chrishell, who’s busy with a high-profile client, none other than Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer is looking for a private getaway home in Malibu. “I need something exclusive, Chrishell,” Jennifer says, adjusting her sunglasses. “Privacy is everything.”
Back at the office, a mysterious envelope arrives for Mary. She opens it to find incriminating photos of Chelsea meeting with a rival real estate firm. “What the hell is this?” Mary exclaims, holding up the photos. Amanza rushes over, her eyes widening. “This could ruin us!”
Meanwhile, Bre is meeting with another celebrity client, Robert Downey Jr., who’s interested in a modern, eco-friendly mansion. “I want something sustainable but with style,” he says, his signature charisma shining through.

The tension escalates when Jason and Brett confront Chelsea about the photos. “Are you betraying us?” Jason demands. Chelsea laughs, a cold, calculated sound. “You really think I would lower myself to work with them? This is a setup.”
In the midst of the chaos, Amanza discovers an incredible penthouse listing. As she prepares to show it to a potential buyer, Brad Pitt, she overhears Chelsea on the phone, plotting something sinister. Amanza’s heart races as she realises the depths of Chelsea’s scheming.
Meanwhile, Alanna is dealing with personal turmoil, having just finalised her divorce. She puts on a brave face at the office but confides in Chrishell. “It’s been rough,” Alanna admits. “But I’m ready for a fresh start.”
The episode takes an emotional turn as the team gathers for a funeral for Emma’s beloved dog, Gatsby. Everyone is dressed somberly, except for Christine, who makes a surprise appearance in an inappropriately revealing black dress, turning heads and raising eyebrows. “Seriously, Christine?” Mary whispers. Christine shrugs, unfazed by the disapproval.
Back at the office, Amanza tries to lighten the mood. “Well, at least Gatsby sold more houses than I did this year,” she jokes, drawing some reluctant laughs from her colleagues.
The episode reaches its climax at an opulent charity gala held in Pioneer Town. The entire team attends, dressed to the nines, ready to network and unwind. Jennifer Aniston and Robert Downey Jr. make glamorous appearances, mingling with the realtors. Brad Pitt arrives later, looking suave and drawing attention from everyone in the room.
Suddenly, the lights dim, and a spotlight shines on a surprise guest—Christine. The crowd gasps as she steps onto the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen,” she announces, “I have a revelation.”
Christine reveals she and Chelsea have bought the rival firm, intending to merge it with The Oppenheim Group and take over as CEOs. Gasps fill the room as Chrishell and Mary step forward. “You can’t do this, Christine,” Chrishell says, her voice shaking with anger.
Christine smirks, “Watch me.”
Mary, unable to contain her fury, lunges at Christine, knocking a champagne glass out of her hand. “You’ve crossed the line!” Mary shouts. Christine retaliates, and the two start grappling, their designer dresses tearing. Amanza and Chelsea try to pull them apart, but the scene devolves into chaos. Tables are overturned, and guests scramble to get out of the way.
Jennifer Aniston, caught in the fray, accidentally spills her drink on her couture gown. “This is not what I signed up for,” she mutters, trying to find an exit. Robert Downey Jr. steps in, attempting to break up the fight. “Ladies, let’s keep it civil,” he says, but ends up getting shoved by a frantic partygoer. “This is turning into a superhero movie,” he quips, dodging a flying canapé.
Brad Pitt, who has been quietly observing, decides to take matters into his own hands. He steps between Mary and Christine, effortlessly separating them. “Enough!” he roars, his commanding presence instantly silencing the room. Christine, with a wild look in her eyes, glares at everyone. “This isn’t over,” she hisses, storming out of the gala, leaving a trail of scandalised whispers in her wake.
As the dust settles, Chrishell looks at Jason. “What do we do now?” she asks, her voice trembling. Jason sighs, “We fight back.”

Jennifer, now calmed down, approaches Chrishell. “If you need any help, you know where to find me,” she says with a supportive smile.
Outside the venue, Alanna, feeling overwhelmed, steps out to get some air. Bre follows her, offering a comforting presence. “It’s going to be okay, Alanna,” Bre says softly. Alanna nods, tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Bre. I just—” Before she can finish, Bre gently kisses her, a tender, unexpected moment that leaves them both breathless.
The screen fades to black, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next episode of Selling Sunset where the drama, deception, and luxury continue to unfold.
