If you thought fired/ex Vanderpump Rules cast members Stassi, Jax, Brittany, and Kristen were taking the drama with them, think again. In the wake of their dramatic departures, the first Vanderpump Rules Season 9 trailer shows that Lala Kent, James Kennedy, and the rest of the cast are more than capable of bringing the petty drama and juicy gossip all on their own.

The Pump Rules cast may be getting older, that doesn't always mean they're getting wiser. "I would say I'm pretty grown," new mom Lala declares at the beginning of the trailer. Cut to her yelling at the dinner table at an unidentified person, "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" That's pretty much the vibe for the entire cast. Everyone has grown — James Kennedy says he's "done so much self-reflecting" — and everyone has regressed — later in the trailer, James is insulting Raquel Leviss (and maybe pressuring her into plastic surgery or something else to do with her body??).

Meanwhile, the Tom Toms (Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz) are butting heads as they attempt to open a new bar together, with Katie Maloney-Schwartz is caught in the middle. Oh, and Ariana Madix is slipping and falling in the middle of a packed bar in between fights with Lala. It's a lot.

Then there's Scheana Shay, who, like Lala, is adjusting to new motherhood. (Both Pump Rules stars welcomed baby girls this year.) And, I have to be honest, I'm worried about her. In the trailer, Scheana seems to be having a lot of separation anxiety from her baby — "I just want to go home to my baby, I don't even wanna be here anymore," she says in tears at one point. And then there's drama with her new fiancé, Brock Davies. Based on the promo, it looks like some of the other cast members have doubts about Brock, with Lala telling Katie that he allegedly has two kids and "hasn't spoken to them in four years," and James later screaming at him at a party.

Not featured in the trailer: returning newbie Charli Burnett, who, according to Us Weekly, has been promoted to a full-time cast member. Vanderpump Rules Season 9 will premiere on Bravo Tuesday, Sept. 28.
