Lightning has struck.

During Wednesday’s finale episode of the “Vanderpump Rules” reunion, Raquel Leviss joined her co-stars on stage to offer her side of Scandoval, the name given to her affair with Tom Sandoval amid his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.

The former beauty queen dived into the hints their co-stars and fans missed, including their matching lighting bolt necklaces.

Leviss said she decided to get the necklace because it “was significant to who he became in my life.”

In fact, fans even watched her purchase the pendant on the Bravo show, which she admitted was difficult to watch.

Leviss admitted that she got a lightning bolt necklace because Sandoval played such a “significant” role in her life.

“I was cringing so hard watching that back,“ Leviss said when asked what she felt when the episode aired.

When asked how she could possibly wear the meaningful necklace around Madix, she simply replied, “I feel like a piece of s—t.”

In March, fans made the connection after news of their bombshell affair dropped. At the time, Sandoval wore a large silver lightning bolt pendant, which matches the logo for both his bar TomTom and band, Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras.

As for Leviss, she chose a more subtle design, sporting a dainty gold lightning bolt pendant ($612, originally $765) from Caitlin Nicole Jewelry.

The design has a clear deeper meaning for the couple as the wannabe rocker, 40, sings the song “Electric Love” by Børns with the lyrics “Baby you’re like lightning in a bottle” as part of his cover band.

Sandoval and Leviss, 28, are apparently broken up, despite being caught on the phone together by fans. The two have also seemingly kept in touch by sending each other letters as Madix, 37, spilled on “Watch What Happens Live” that Leviss had been sending letters to the home she still shares with her ex.

Scheana Shay’s husband, Brock Davies, then revealed that Leviss sent a postcard with a lightning bolt on it, presumably so her former friend could read their message.

While Leviss is currently seeking treatment in a mental health facility on the west coast, things are clearly electric as the dust continues to settle.
