The Real World

It all begins with small-town country girl Julie and her family in Birmingham. Her family is nervous about the whole thing, but Julie is stoked about spending three months in the big city. The seven strangers arrive at the luxurious loft that theyll call home for the next three months. After introducing themselves, they explore the house and find a Love and Sex book. The sex discussion begins, focusing on innocent Julie and her virginity. At dinner, Kevin, Julie and Heather discuss prejudice and racism. Kevin is impressed with Julies open attitude, considering where she grew up. In fact, Julie and her innocence and enthusiasm have already charmed everyone in the house.

Julie gets lost on her way to a new dance studio because she cant follow the directions that Eric gives her. While she is getting critiqued on her performance, Eric is getting naked with a female model at a fitness magazine shoot. When Eric and the model, Taryn, get a little hot and heavy during the shoot, the photographer encourages them. After the shoot, Taryn and Eric begin dating. But Eric is confused by the relationship, as their dates only consist of strange things like trying on ""rocker clothes"" (think leather chaps and sequins). Eric doesnt really understand what she sees in him. Andres band, Reigndance, is practicing for an upcoming show when the cops show up and shut the rehearsal down. The band plans to perform anyway, and at Julies urging, several of the roommates watch the show. Grateful for their support, Andre dedicates the song ""Redspot"" to his roommies.

Kevin and Eric go outside to discuss their issues. The argument dies down as the two talk about stereotypes and their inherent differences. They shake hands. Kevin takes Morris, a teenage boy he is mentoring, to dinner and an art exhibit and talks to Morris about having a commitment to help others. Eric is also doing some community service as a probation requirement: He works in a basketball program for troubled kids. But hes got other things on his mind as he anxiously awaits Missys arrival at the loft. Kevin and Eric become closer as they discuss Missy and Erics relationship with her. Eric then cements the deal when he invites Kevin to a Knicks game, where the two meet Isaiah Thomas. Kevin gets a chance to peek into Erics private life as he watches him interact with his dad, an NBA referee.

The cast is worried about Kevin because no one knows where he went. Once he returns, they show him the video they made of the joke they played on him and he eventually forgives them. Later, Kevin confesses he considered quitting the show because he thought his roommates were so weird. Meanwhile, Heather constantly professes her love for Hornets basketball player Larry Johnson and says she plans to grab his ass if she ever meets him. Julie and Heather actually attend the Knicks-Hornets game, and Heather flirts incessantly with Larry Johnson afterwards. No booty-grabbing though--this show is strictly G-Rated. A package arrives, informing the ladies of the house that they will spend a week in Jamaica. Becky may need a vacation after the ugly argument she has with Kevin about racism in America.

As the gang prepares for their trip to the pro-choice rally in D.C., Norman is falling head over heels for Charles. Charles doesnt seem quite as ready to make the same commitment. While the rest of the gang is at the rally, Julie finds a ""Reagan-Ville"" filled with homeless people. Julie makes a connection with one of the women in the makeshift community and ends up spending the night. The situation affects Julie deeply and the rest of the loftmates are impressed with Julies openness to the situation.

Crying hysterically, Julie explains to Norman and Eric that she and Kevin had a fight about a phone call and that Kevin threw a candleholder at her. She is scared of Kevin, thinks he is a psycho, and never wants to be alone with him again. Kevin denies brandishing the candleholder and says that the fight wasnt his fault, because Julie was rude to him on the phone and may have cost him a job. Kevin needs to get some space, so he goes back to Jersey City and walks through his old neighborhood with his girlfriend. The time does him some good and he decides to return to the house to deal with the situation with Julie. They go outside and continue to argue about the fight and differences. After a lot of yelling and harsh words, they finally calm down and apologize to each other. To let it all go, Kevin and Eric throw a big birthday bash. But the fighting isnt over, as Heather tussles with a guest and the police arrive...

Its the last few days in the house and the gang takes over the production room in the loft. They find out how it feels to be on the other side of the cameras. Becky expresses how the Real World is a real as it gets. Andre feels he has had some great experiences. Kevin confesses how cynical he was in the beginning and how much hes learned from the other members of the cast. Norman confesses that he is not afraid anymore to express his sexuality. The whole cast says their last goodbyes to the Big Apple.

Let the games begin! Tensions rise as the group begins work at an after-school program for kids. The group begins to tell each other secrets about their past.

As the group tries to find the bus to take them home, they got lost. Kameelah and Sean fight, and he calls her a bitch. The two finish their argument once they get home, but they both realize that they are two different people.

Is love in the air? Kameelah has a list of over 200 requirements that a man must meet to be her boyfriend. Her list includes things such as "must have a name with more than one syllable" or "must be able to dance." So when she goes out with Aaron, she uses this list to see if he lives up to her standards. He definitely does not. He asks her out again and she begrudgingly says yes. There is obvious chemistry between Montana and Sean, but all that dwindles when Montanas boyfriend Vaj comes to visit. Once he arrives, everything falls back into place for them and she realizes how much it hurts when he is not physically present in her life.

Out of sight, out of mind. Montana and Vaj agreed that they could see other people while she was away in Boston, but the thought of it actually happening is another story.

He delivers an ultimatum to Syrus: If he continues to see Louetta he cant work at the center. Syrus agrees to end the relationship but continues to see her anyway.

Montana plans on seeing Matt for Valentines Day, since Vaj is busy working. She thinks Vaj shouldnt care since they gave each other permission to see other people. Sean and Kameelah think Montana could hurt Vajs feelings by seeing someone else on Valentines Day. Montana yells at Vaj, telling him he could have come to Boston but its too late now since she has plans. Even after the argument, Montana spends Valentines Day with Matt. Afterwards, Matt tells Montana he will miss her while Vaj is in town. When Vaj arrives, Montana is not overly excited to see him.

Later they apologize and end up in her room while Elka and Sean listen. Elka thinks Kameelah had sex with Doug and confronts Kameelah at the ASP in front of the children. They are sent home and the next day, Anthony tells them that ""melodramatic outbursts"" cant happen at ASP. He will not suspend anyone, but more serious action will occur if it happens again. Anthony tells Kameelah that she is the only roommate that is taking her volunteer job seriously. Kameelah wonders why there is backlash against her. Montana thinks Kameelah is hypocritical.

Elka misses her mom as Mothers Day approaches and confides in Genesis, talking about her moms last night alive. Elka feels she has to take over her mothers duties as well as return to Brownsville for a style show dedicated to her mom. Montana says if it makes Elka uncomfortable, she does not have to go. Elka says she has to return someday and its going to hurt anyway. Elka flies to Brownsville and attends the style show. She accepts an award for their family. Dad tells Elka he is going to be Mr. Mom and Elka shouldnt worry about them. Elka visits her moms grave and then returns to Boston. Meanwhile, Genesis talks to her mom about their rocky past and her bad childhood. When they talk a second time, Mom tells Genesis she has not eaten in a week. Genesis thinks her Mom might be drinking again but Mom denies it and Genesis believes her. Later, however, her brother TJ calls with news that their mom was taken to the hospital for mixing pills with alcohol. Genesis cries alone in her ro

Anthony wonders where Sean and Syrus were the night before but no one knows. Anthony feels that if they didnt want to participate then they shouldnt have come at all. At a rally attended by Bill Clinton, Kameelah gets the ASP kids to met LL Cool J. Sean and Syrus show up during the rally and Anthony lets them know how disappointed he is. The gang moves on to the Taste of Philly, where Sean and Montana drink alcohol in front of the children. Meanwhile, Elka and Walter are hanging out and go to church. Jason expresses concern to Timber about who Walter is. Timber thinks if Walter flew all the way to Boston, he must be dedicated to Elka. Walter and Elka have an emotional departure at Logan International. Upon arrival in Boston, Anthony suspends Sean, Montana and Syrus with no explanation. Anthony questions the three about the alcohol in Philly and clears Sean and Syrus but keeps Montana on suspension because she let the kids under her supervision also try alcohol. It becomes clear that

As the gang heads to vacation in Marthas Vineyard, its obvious that there are two camps. While Jason, Genesis and Kameelah hitchhike around the island, Sean, Syrus and Montana play in the house with Elka and have an old-time photo taken. Jason and Kameelah flirt heavily throughout the trip, including a ""show me"" session with Genesis where she sees a penis for the first time…Jasons, of course. Meanwhile, tensions rise and boil over between Sean and Kameelah. Sean finds a nasty note written by Kameelah about Montana and him and calls her on it. Kameelah claims she accidentally left it out. Sean tells Jason that Kameelah is racist and compares her to Hitler. Calling him the ""whitest of white boys,"" Kameelah feels Sean sees her only as a black person and not an individual. She is tired of representing Black America for Sean and eventually has it out with him. Sean feels Kameelah has put a wall up around her and he cant talk to her.

Ruthie and Teck meet up and click right away. Ruthie reveals to Teck that she has a girlfriend, and he guesses that she likes guys, too. Theyre the first to arrive at the house. Its locked, so they strip down and go skinny-dipping in the pool. Meanwhile, looking-for-love Matt and Amaya show up. Theyre a bit shocked by their new, uninhibited roommates. Kaia arrives at the house, and Matt says that Ruthie is everything he looks for in a woman. Hes disappointed to learn that she has a girlfriend. When Justin arrives, Teck gets right to the point and asks him if hes gay. Justin is put off, but says yes. Colin, the former ""reject"" from the casting special, is last to arrive with the key. Everyone pours into their new island abode and selects rooms. Ruthie, Amaya and Matt decide to share, Teck and Kaia pair off, and Colin and Justin get the bunk beds. Kaia joins the naked brigade by peeling off her shirt. The next night, the cast goes clubbing. They boogie down while Ruthie slams

In this get-to-know-Teck episode we learn: Teck is John Wayne; hes a lover of the ladies but not so much a lover of homosexuals; and he loves being black, unpredictable and the cheese with women. The roommates get a call from their new boss, Calvin, at Local Motion--a surf shop/cafe.

Love is in the air in Hawaii…some of the roommates have the requisite sex talk. Amaya declares that while sex is good, making love is beautiful. Let the games begin! Amaya and Colin are sharing the sack--and apparently nothing more. But were just getting started. In other pairing off news: Kaia meets a gentlemanly fellow who asks her to a Janet Jackson concert. Kaia, a fan of Janets, readily accepts. Colin and Amaya have a fight, but dont know exactly what its about. Nevertheless, Amaya kicks Colin out of his own bed. Colin, confused, tries to get some shut-eye. Suddenly all is right with the world again. Amaya and Colin make up and Kaia is off with her new friend to see Janet. They have a blast. Could this be courtship? Amaya and Colin then take a hand-holding stroll on the beach, where they (gasp!) kiss. Ladies and gentlemen--we have a romance!

Colins incessant teasing is starting to get a little old for Amaya. ""Sometimes I just want to smack him,"" she says. When Teck brings a scantily dressed woman back to the house, eyebrows and questions are raised. ""Is that a prostitute?"" Amaya boldly asks. Matt snickers in disbelief. Meanwhile, Colin admits hes ready for love but fears hell never have it.

Knowing his visiting father would wholeheartedly approve, Teck makes sure to introduce them. Colin is at a loss for words when Amaya asks him to be nicer to her.

Overhearing Justin encourage Ruthie to drink before they go out, Colin vents his anger to Matt. Out on the town, Ruthies had too much drink and Matt offers to pay for her cab ride home. She turns him down and takes her friends on a drunken joy ride instead. Back at the house, Colin questions Justins approach to Ruthies drinking. The next day, the supervising producer and director step out from behind the camera to call Ruthie in for a private meeting. Her drunk driving cannot be tolerated so they require that she start seeing an addiction specialist. When she hesitantly tells the roommates that she has to meet with a counselor in order to stay, Ruthie gets nothing but support. Ruthie is wary in her first counseling session with Dr. Alathea: ""I dont really take to telling deep s*** to a perfect stranger. No matter how professional they are."" Kaia tells Justin she wants to be there for Ruthie as a friend, but she distances herself when Ruthie is drunk.

Admittedly picky about men, Kaia is pleasantly surprised when she meets and instantly connects with Trey, a rap artist from The Pharcyde. At a viewing of the AIDS quilt, Kaia has a quiet moment as memories of her deceased father resurface. Having lost her father to AIDS, Kaia reveals to Justin that her awareness of the disease has caused a fear of intimacy. Running into the kitchen with an envelope in hand, Teck is the bearer of some very good news. The roommates gather to unanimously decide their vacation destination. And the winner is...India! Teck and Kaia are excited for their vacation. To get away from the city life, Kaia and Justin make a trip to The Big Island for a touch of nature and some soul-searching inspiration. Upon returning from island-hoppin, Kaia recounts to Trey her moment of self-discovery.

In her scheduled meeting, Ruthie tells the roommates she is aware she let alcohol take over her life during her stay in Hawaii. She makes no promises to quit drinking, but swears to make a positive change. Knowing that Matt told Ruthie about their planned intervention, an angry Colin confronts him outside. Later that night, the roommates agree that Ruthie really needs medical treatment for her alcohol problem. ""This thing cant linger,"" says Colin. They decide on a firm ultimatum: Check into a treatment facility or leave the house. Overwhelmed by the pressure of saving Ruthie, Matt breaks down in tears. Ruthie cant believe what shes hearing when the roommates announce their strict ultimatum. The next day, Ruthie meets with the roommates and tells them their decision was too extreme. Proposing a compromise, she agrees to quit drinking for the rest of her stay, and agrees to visit the clinic, ""but not for 30 days."" When the roommates refuse to negotiate,

When the roommates arrive in India, they are greeted by their tour guide, Romesh. The surprise comes when they learn that they will be traveling aboard the ""Palace on Wheels,"" Indias most luxurious train. Later in their hotel room, Justin has ""Cruel Intentions"" and tells Kaia of his plot against Amaya. Aboard the ""Palace on Wheels,"" Colin and Amaya decide to share a room. Could their romance resurface? In the city of Jaipur, a group of local kids get a taste of Western culture. Teck delivers an impromptu beat box, as one of the kids busts out with his version of street dancing. On the train, Justin has some advice for Colin. With some subtle coaxing he persuades Colin that Amaya isnt stable enough to have a relationship with him. Reacting to Justins comments, Colin turns on Amaya. In a strange twist, Justin meets with Amaya as he asks about her newly broken relationship with Colin. Acting surprised, Justin wonders why Colin is acting so strange.

Colin has the Bay Room to himself and is happy to take the bottom bunk. Amaya has other plans. After arguing and then asking nicely, Colin allows Amaya into the Bay Room, occupying the top bunk. When she begins hitting on Colin again, he gets angry. Matt and Kaia wonder why Amaya puts up with Colins verbal abuse and confront her, telling her to be strong and stand up for herself. Amaya takes the initiative and confronts Colin in the van in front of Kaia and Matt. Colin storms off. When Amaya approaches him the next day, he walks away and she cries. Amaya goes skydiving with Matt and Teck and gains some confidence about herself. Amaya writes Colin a letter, saying she is through with him. Meanwhile, Tecks clubbing with his stream of women leaves the roommates wondering whether this will catch up with him. Teck returns home at night with a woman and kicks Kaia out of their room. Matt and Teck go to a strip club, where Teck gets his underwear ripped off. On the phone with Ruthie, Kaia f

Ruthie and Colin get down to the business of silk screening T-shirts as the roomies prepare for an upcoming charity boat cruise sponsored by Local Motion. Later that day Amaya and Colin take a tour of the childrens hospital to see who will benefit from their cruise. While on the phone with a friend, Amaya talks of Ruthies return. Amaya feels that Ruthie is faking a sunny deposition. Over lunch, Ruthie and Colin talk about her time away from the house. Colin feels that Ruthie has changed for the better. Ruthie tells Colin that she has no regrets but cant understand Amayas ""attitude"" since her return. At the airport, Colin cant wait as he holds a sign up for his friends and former casting rejects Mike and Trevor, who are coming to visit. In a confessional, Colin and his boys talk about their brush with the law. Tensions mount as Ruthie confronts Amaya about a shirt that she wanted to borrow. Amaya gives her attitude and Ruthie storms out of the room.

Amaya takes a liking to Colins friend Tony, who is visiting from the mainland. Could Amayas flirtatious behavior with Tony be just another plot to make Colin jealous? In a confessional, Colin shares a piece of advice to his friend, Tony, regarding Amaya. Although she and Tony spent the night together, Amaya insists that nothing happened. The next morning, the roommates question Amayas actions while Colin coldly says goodbye to Tony. Over lunch, Kaia, Matt, Ruthie and Colin discuss Amayas attitude in the house. The roommates are tired of her talking behind their backs and being two-faced towards them. ""I just assume people are smart enough to see through Amayas crap,"" says Colin. Later in the kitchen, Amaya corners Colin in an attempt to set the record straight about Tony. Colin, clearly upset with Amaya, ignores her and escapes to the confessional. Feeling isolated,

Melissa goes on a second date with ""Frat Matt"" and feels a bit out of place with the upscale crowd he hangs out with. The cast begins training on their show, The Real Seven at 7, which will be produced by Kelley and directed by Danny.

The cast realizes that their job, along with their new boss Elton, will not be easy to deal with.

Melissa finds out that Ryan, the guy she dated before coming to New Orleans, is going to pay her a visit for her birthday.

Melissa breaks into tears as she admits to Ryan that she was trying to behave badly so he wouldnt like her anymore.

The cast members have 48 hours to finish gathering material for their first live TV show. Kelley confronts David yet again about his unwillingness to follow her instructions as show producer. Kelley expresses to Elton her frustration over the progress of the show and the difficulties of managing the staff. Jamie and Julie agree that the entire project is being micro-managed and is being taken too seriously. The cast ends up doing a great job on their first live TV show and receives well-earned praise from Elton. But theres no time to celebrate--the cast must begin working immediately on next weeks show and must choose a new producer for each week.

The roommates are frustrated because David, who is producing the next show, is having trouble communicating with them. David gets angry when the roommates take the car and fail to show up at the television studio for an important scheduled meeting. After David confronts the roommates, Danny speaks out about Davids tendency to be hypocritical. David tells Matt about his feelings of bitterness towards his father and the experience of being raised by a single mom. David and the roommates pull together and produce a show that is even better than the first. David gets the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a local hockey game in front of a huge crowd, his roommates and his mom.

Its Mardi Gras time in New Orleans, and the Real Worlders get a surprise invitation to have dinner at Anne Rices house. Danny realizes that he must try to make an extra effort to stay faithful to Paul during this time of partying. The roommates are invited to ride on a float during the parade, while David chooses to stay at the house with friends. During a night of heavy drinking and partying, Danny screws up by messing around with a guy he just met. Julie enjoys her Mardi Gras experience, which she describes as ""a celebration of sin."" Danny feels extremely lucky when Paul tells him that he doesnt care that he messed up, because he knows where his heart is and trusts him completely.

Matt tells David that he is there for him as a support figure, while he tries to find his place in the household. The roommates arrive in scenic Victoria Falls, where David contemplates facing his fear of bungee jumping. Jamie, Julie, Matt and David share the intense state of euphoria that comes from bungee jumping off a 365-foot cliff. David slowly begins to open up to Kelley and the rest of the roommates by developing different connections with each of them. The roommates are particularly affected by their final outing into the African townships, where they caught a glimpse of families and children living in poverty.

As the upcoming show producer, David plans to have a female fashion show, but doesnt include the roommates in any of the planning or details. Matt develops a liking for a girl named Brandi, and invites her to visit his Web page and sign his guest book. After finding her signature in his guest book, Matt gets Brandis phone number from his friend Lionel and calls her, only to find out that she has a boyfriend and did not sign his guest book. Julie admits to Matt that she was the one who pretended to be Brandi and signed his guestbook. Kelley and Matt do a great job of saving the show as hosts/commentators on Davids ""Stripper Fashion Show"" episode. David continues to separate himself from his roommates after he doesnt receive any positive feedback from them after his show.

Jamie and the others continue to discuss Davids attitude problem. Melissa explodes on David and storms out of the room. Eventually David breaks down and tells the housemates that he is doing it all for his Mother, since she isnt in such good of health right now. In Davids attempt at making relationships better with some of the housemates, he takes Julie to his recording studio, where she actually tries to rap with him. He also later makes an appearance at Melissas art opening. At a last attempt to connect with Melissa, he has a heart to hear with on the front steps of the Belfort.

Coral, Mike and Lori are the first to arrive from the Staten Island Ferry. As they drag their bags across town, they wonder who will be their other roommates in the loft on Hudson Street and whether they are on Road Rules or The Real World. Coral and company enter the loft first, and are blown away that this amazing place is their home for the next five months. The other group-Malik, Nicole and Kevin-arrives shortly after and everyone explores the ""phat loft."" Rachel arrives soon after the rest of the group.

As the roommates explore the nightlife of NYC, Rachels having a tough time being the youngest roommate and under 21. The female roommates convince Rachel that a little makeup, a tube top, and a fake ID are her tickets to a fun night out. Rachel isnt quite ready for a scamming guy who informs her that she is making him ""hard."" Will Rachel ever venture out again at night? On the hook-up front, Lori is falling even harder for Kevin, if thats possible. The situation gets even more complicated when Kevin kisses Lori in the heat of the moment on the dance floor. However, he quickly qualifies the kiss by telling her that although he finds her attractive, he doesnt want to be with her. Humiliated, Lori begins to notice that Kevin is not only snubbing her, but flirting more with the other female roommates. Will she get over this obsessive crush and find love in NYC?

Mike still cant seem to find his place among the women of the house. They dont want to hang out with him and dont understand his sense of humor. This is quite a shock for him, because he is used to being the funny guy that everyone loves to be around. His only method of release is attending heavy metal concerts such as Linkin Park, which the other roommates refuse to attend. On a happier note, the roommates are stoked to find out that theyll be working for Arista Records. But the excitement fades for most of the roommates when they discover the job requires them to form a street marketing team focusing on rock bands. Mike, on the other hand, couldnt be happier. Just when he was feeling like the house outcast, he finds something that could possibly change his life. Of course, the first day on the job has to have some drama. Guess who Mike has to share a desk with for the next five months? You got it, Coral. Shes more pissed off than weve ever seen her-first when she finds out s

Lori seems to be the focus of the house these days because of her fondness for singing at the top of her lungs while her roommates try and go about their business. How annoying is it? Kevin describes her singing as ""a seal in labor."" Even easy-going Rachel cant deal and tells Lori, ""We love you...but please dont sing."" Lori feels put out, because she thinks that the roommates dont understand how important music and singing are in her life. Meanwhile at work, the roommates are broken up into two teams that are responsible for creating focus groups for Aristas new rock artists. Nicole, Rachel, Kevin and Malik dont take the assignment as seriously as they should. Their focus group members and the groups outcome end up being a complete joke. Mike, Coral and Loris group is a success, mainly because of Mike and Loris ability to find people who truly enjoy rock music.

Just when the tension in the house has reached a record-high level, the roommates find out that they are jetting off to Morocco for a week-long vacation. The guys arent overly thrilled about the trip because of their female travel companions, but they quickly change their minds when they arrive at the ultra-luxurious desert oasis where they will be staying. Things continue to get better. As the roommates lounge by the pool, a mysterious white van pulls up, and out jumps the six Road Rulers. Everyone is stoked to have some new friends to hang with for the week, particularly the guys. Well, everyone but Coral and Nicole. They couldnt care less about the Road Rulers as they continue snubbing everyone around them. Coral may have finally met her match. Adam isnt going to take her attitude for one second and throws it right back at her. During their first night at dinner, Coral snaps at Adam, ""I think you are the dumbest person I have ever met."" Adam replies,"

Loris band is not going as well as she had hoped. The practice sessions have not moved past jam sessions. They dont have any real songs or even lyrics. Lori tells Rachel that she is ""a recording artist"" and that she is shifting her focus in that direction. As luck would have it, Lori and her roommates get the opportunity to tour the Arista offices and meet the president of Arista and Arista recording artist Usher. They also get to sit in on a real recording session with a new Arista recording artist named Lennon, who happens to be a 19-year-old girl. Lori is excited as she watches Lennon record. The following day, Lori, Mike and Rachel decide to explore the Arista offices some more. They meet a music supervisor named Nicky, who shows them some of the music he is working on. Lori tells him that she is a singer and that she would love to give him a demo CD. Several days later, Nicky calls Lori into his office and admits that he was really surprised

The girls are fed up with being single. During a ""Girls Night In Virgin Margarita Party,"" they make a pact that they will each try and get a date by the end of next month. Lori decides to work on getting her date immediately. As a result of her daily walks to and from work, she discovers a cute doorman standing outside of Harry Winstons. She gets up the courage to approach him and they end up having a very flirtatious conversation. He invites her back later in the week for a tour of the store, and Lori thinks this one is in the bag. On tour day, Lori gets the full princess treatment, including the opportunity to try on expensive one-of-a kind jewels, one of which was worn by Madonna on her wedding day. After the tour, Lori asks out the cute doorman. He replies uncomfortably that he is busy. Then he adds, ""I am practically married."" Thoroughly embarrassed, Lori mumbles goodbye and heads towards Arista. So much for that!

Believe it or not, there is still peace in the house. The tension and conflict seemed to have disappeared. Coral and Mike are hugging, Coral and Kevin are having serious talks, and the guys and girls are actually hanging out and enjoying it. Coral even admits that she has been going down the wrong path and intends to make a change. What happened? Meanwhile, Nicole is consumed by the fact that her dream boy, Bobby, will visit her in New York. The only problem with Bobby, Nicole says, ""is that he doesnt like me."" So Nicole devises a plan to ""get some"" from him. She will pretend that shes feeling saucy from the alcohol and will make a move on him, blaming it on the booze. The plan seems to be working at the beginning of their date, as they sip expensive champagne before heading out to a club. However, Nicole forgets that she is a ""lightweight.""

Rachels youth is starting to show. She and Coral get in a tiff about house cleaning. Apparently theyve set a schedule in the house for cleaning and Rachels the only one that cant seem to follow it. Shes used to her mom taking care of her, and its tough getting used to being responsible for yourself. But its even tougher when youre trying to figure out who you are while worrying about how your mom is going to react. When Mike challenges Rachel about her mom, Rachel shuts him down: ""Were not having this discussion."" Meanwhile, the whole RR gang is in town and the RW crew is excited to see them. Malik is especially psyched to see Jisela. There is always a lot of sexual tension when they both are in the room. Malik says, ""Jisela brings a lot of fun-loving spirit. A lot of energy."" And apparently that energy spreads to everyone else as Rachel finally joins in the fun when they all go out to the West End.

As weve already established, Nicole wants Bobby. But hes not sure if thats what he wants. As he says, hes ""not ready to be had."" The other girls dont see what Nicole sees in Bobby. She seems to be a different person with him. For someone so assertive and in control, she lets him boss her around. Coral thinks shes way too into Bobby and she worries that Nicole ""will make a fool out of herself."" While Nicoles foolishness is in question, theres no doubt that Jisela is acting a fool while shes in the Hamptons. Jisela brought her own video camera and spends large amounts of time making fun of the guys, especially Kevin and Malik. When Malik sees the video and shares it with the other roommates, Coral gets pissed. She doesnt appreciate Jisela talking about people when shes an invited guest. She lets Jisela know that Kevin, Malik and Mike are like brothers to her and that ""if [she] was making a joke, it wasnt funny...[she] needs to clear it up.""

Its the last few days in the house and everyone is reminiscing about the times theyve had together. Coral and Mike have lunch together to discuss their tumultuous relationship. They reminisce about how they started off on the wrong foot, from Mikes comments about race to Corals attacking him for the way he talks about his friends. From that difficult beginning, theyve grown to trust and truly care about each other. When Coral opens up to Mike about her father leaving her when she was 9 because he had to do jail time, Mike realizes that ""this girl really trusts [him]."" Rachel, meanwhile, is delighting in making fun of Mikes alter ego, The Miz. She lets her friend Stubu wear Mikes toy belt and takes pictures of the kid and all his 40-pound glory. Mike responds by drenching Rachel in the shower and giving Stubu the Atomic Wedgie.

Its summertime in the city and our seven strangers are chilling on the sandy Chicago beaches. Newly single Cara is lonely and on a mission…the Boy Hunt is on. First up is Jason, a guy she eyes across the sand castles and through the hard-bodies. She gives him the digits and they plan to make a date out of it. While Cara is excited about the date, she doesnt seem to really know what she wants. She still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend Jared, who apparently wants to marry her. She feels lonely when shes not with someone and needs physical affection to feel good about herself. This week she must feel absolutely great as she spends the night with a ""rock star"" and her friend from home, Nick. As she tells Theo, ""Friends can sleep together.""

It seems pretty obvious to everyone that Keri likes Kyle and Kyle likes Keri, but theres a problem. Kyle has a long-time girlfriend at home that he really loves, Nicole, and hes trying really hard not to do anything to jeopardize their relationship. He says, ""Nicole and I met two and a half years ago and we jumped into this fairy-tale love."" Apparently the fairy tale includes Keri because Kyle seems to enjoy spending a lot of time in the same bed with her, flirting. While Kyle, Keri and the rest of the cast members are bonding in Chicago, Tonya is back in Walla Walla with Justin and her doctors. When she lands, its pretty clear that homesickness was as big a factor in her coming home as her physical illness. Tonya says that she ""realized that Walla Walla is an incredible place with amazing people that is the closest to a home that [shes] ever had.""

Its the first official day of work for everyone. Keri, Chris and Kyle are on the beach with their lifeguarding duties while Cara, Tonya, Aneesa and Theo are working with the Chicago Parks program helping to design and paint a mural with a childrens program. Everyone seems happy with their jobs, although Kyle notes that being a lifeguard mostly means having to be a jerk. Kurt comes down to spend a week with Chris. At first, Chris seems a little overwhelmed with the amount of time and attention Kurt wants. Chris is about moving slow and Kurt is about being in a relationship and falling in love. Tonya tells Chris that she would be ""sketched"" if a guy was acting like that towards her. But Tonya is also sketched by the idea of two guys being in love with each other so what does she know about it?

Theyve had the fight to end all fights but Veronica is still on Aneesas mind. Aneesa looks for sympathy and understanding from everyone but no one is interested. Her mom doesnt want to hear any more bad news, Tonya and Chris think that Aneesa should just be glad to be rid of her. But Aneesa really wants Veronica to call. Cara empathizes with her, saying, ""I dont blame Aneesa at all for still having feelings for Veronica. Sometimes when people push you away, it makes you that much more likely to attach yourself to them."" Cara may know a thing or two about this phenomenon. Her dad comes in for a quick visit and takes everyone out to dinner. Cara reveals that her dad is now living in Indiana while the rest of her family is in St. Louis, which isnt ideal. She had never felt close to her father until recently and is very appreciative of his love. After her dad leaves, shes also really appreciative of Kyles friend Djordje.

The gang all heads up to Kyles lake house for a weekend of sun and fun. The couples--Justin and Tonya and Chris and Kurt--find time for sex and other activities, while the single roommates hang together. Even with Nicole out of the way, however, Kyle wont give in to his urges and hook up with Keri. They sleep in separate rooms and dont spend much time together over the weekend. Kyle explains, ""I have a great time with Keri and I really like being with her...but Nicole is still very, very with me."" When everyone is back in Chicago, the happy romances and the cautious flirting turn sour. Chris realizes that Kurt wants a lot more out of their relationship than he is able to give. Chris wants to focus on his recovery and on trying to stay sober while he bartends, but Kurt wants a commitment. Chris calls Kurt and ends it.

Aneesas openness is becoming a problem for Tonya. Everyone loves a beautiful body, but Tonya is a little tired of seeing Aneesas all the time. Aneesas open door policy for the bathroom and frank discussions about sex put Tonya over the edge, and they have a conversation about it. Aneesa is immediately defensive, refusing to understand how her nudity could be a problem for someone else. Tonya begrudgingly agrees to try to learn to be more accepting, while Aneesa compromises as well, saying that she is ""sorry if Tonya was made to feel uncomfortable."" Meanwhile, Caras ex-boyfriend Ali comes to visit. Hes ""evil."" Hes ""the boyfriend from hell."" Hes…cute! Cara is a very forgiving ex-girlfriend, apparently. Though Ali supposedly ""crushed"" her the last time, she doesnt hold any ill will, and after a brief tug of war, they are touching and groping.

Its the last day of working with the Summer Parks Programs. Kyle, Keri and Chris are bummed that they are done lifeguarding. Kyle is really going to miss it because he doesnt think that the next job is going to afford him a lot of peace. Its also the last night with the kids as they present their mural for their parents. Theo is worried that Nelson wont show but he does eventually and even participates in the presentation. The roommates decide to celebrate the end of their jobs with a night out with drinks. Chris isnt interested in celebrating that way and heads home to the chagrin of Kyle. Kyle doesnt know how to deal with someone whos battling alcoholism and is struggling to understand. Kyle asks if he can attend an AA meeting with Chris and Chris is very excited to have the opportunity to share that with him. The meeting proves to be a revelation for Kyle. He tells Chris that he was planning on clubbing and getting wasted that night but [hes] glad [he] did this.

After the events of 9.11, some of the roommates priorities have changed, Kyles in particular. Hes realized that he wants to be with Nicole and he is trying to get back together with her. Part of that means changing his relationship with Keri. Even though their relationship supposedly ended a few weeks ago, Keri reveals that they still hook up pretty regularly and that Kyle is always interested in her after she comes back from going out on dates. And sure enough, after Keri goes out on a blind date with a friend of Caras, Kyle is all over her again. Meanwhile, after going out on a date with Danielle, Aneesa loses the keys to the minivan. Everyone is looking to her to take care of the problem and Aneesa stresses out about it. She cries to her mother about how much its going to cost. She whines to her brother that getting it fixed wont happen fast enough, but eventually she gets it done.

As time passes in the Chicago house, Tonya becomes more removed from the group. Her illness has kept her from group trips, from participating fully at work and from becoming a part of the close-knit group of friends. When she informs them that she cant go on the trip to New England, the gang wonders whether or not she is using her sickness as an excuse because it just so happens that Justin is coming to Chicago at the same time. While everyone else makes fun of Tonya when shes not there, Theo has had enough and lets her know what he and everyone else thinks about how shes handling things. The argument brings Tonya to tears. When Justin arrives, he confronts Theo about the incident. The two have an intense discussion and come to some agreement. Justin tells Tonya that she needs to avoid interacting with Theo and she gets defensive. Later, when the gang leaves, Tonya and Justin argue about Tonyas friend Darren and her relationship with him.

There are just a few days until the gang begins their Halloween performances for the Chicago parks program. Things seem to be running smoothly except for one thing, Keri hasnt finished her skit, Bloody Mary and Cara and Kyle are giving her grief because of it. Keris feeling a little off put because Cara keeps remarking that Kyle is the playwright for the other two skits when they both worked on them. There is also something else going on between Cara and Kyle and the new coupling seems to be adept at keeping Keri on the outside looking in. When it gets down to the wire and Keris skit isnt where Cara wants it. She asks Keri if they can cut it. Keri, who seems to let things roll off her back with ease, agrees, although she thinks that it is going to have to happen anyway because their job requires them to do three. When Cara explains to Laura, their boss, that she wants to cut the skit, she claims that one of the major reasons is that Tonya is going into surgery.

Kyles younger brother, Austin, watches the Halloween performance and stays at the house for an overnight visit. Its a sweet moment, but Tonya and Keri think that its being done for the cameras. They rarely think that Kyle is sincere, and as their time gets shorter in the house, its getting harder for them to keep up appearances for his benefit. Kyles actions dont help much as he worries that hes used his time in Chicago poorly and worries more about how he will be perceived if he participates in a charity fashion show. The rehearsal process makes Kyle feel like he is ""gay,"" but he learns to enjoy the ""acting"" element of modeling, and because its for a good cause, he participates. Everyone in the house shows up at the fashion show to support Chris and Kyles successful walks on the runway.

MTV’s Damien Fahey hosts all seven cast members from The Real World Chicago to dish the dirt on what went down and the roommates have the opportunity to clear the air on some of the most controversial moments from the season.

The cast members head out to nightclubs to celebrate their first night in France. Leah finds herself attracted to Ace, but Ace is turned off by her smoking. Also, Adam is smitten with Mallory, but the infatuation fades when he learns the feeling isnt mutual.

Mallory and Ace try to escape from the cameraman shadowing them and share a kiss. Mallory also loses her purse, which contains Leahs passport, though she later finds it. Adam apologizes to Leah for his behavior in an earlier episode, when he humiliated her in front of the group by saying she wasnt good-looking enough to attract a guy like Ace.

The housemates begin their assignment for Frommers, which is to research local nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, stores and landmarks, then write reviews for travelers their age. A crucial condition of the job is that they will not be paid unless all housemates contribute reviews. Adam spends his time flirting with girls on the street, then later bumps into a girl from high school, and spends some romantic time with her friend. Leah and Adams contributions are submitted on time while C.T., Ace and Kristina miss their deadline, and Mallory and Simon are given a reprieve due to illness. Only Leah and Adam get the bonus, although all housemates get paid.

Adam spends some romantic time with a Canadian girl he meets in a disco. He sees her again but stresses that seeing her on a regular basis will compromise his freedom. Frommers editor Brice asks Christina to resubmit a previous piece of work and turn it in with the others weekly assignment coordinated by C.T. When she turns it in ahead of the others, it causes dissension within the group. Bryce tells the housemates that going forward all individual work must submitted as one submission or no one will be paid.

Christina and Ace snuggle in her bed at night. The next morning she becomes angry when she finds out that somebody ate two of her last three eggs. Ace confesses to it but puts a couple lemons back in the egg carton dressed up as eggs as a "peace offering", prompting Christina to laugh it off. The housemates again struggle to complete their assignment on time. Despite the looming deadline, C.T. and Ace stay up all night and into the morning playing a high-stakes game of pool, disrupting Christinas ability to sleep, as her bedroom lies beneath the pool table.

Tired of being the odd-man out with Leah and the others, C.T. attempts to make amends. Meanwhile, Adam goes to a gay bar with Simon and Mallory. Simons boyfriend visits.

The housemates begin an eight-day vacation that includes stops in the French Riviera, Rome, Florence and Switzerland. First, however, they must finish an assignment about Paris nightlife. They finish on time and get their bonuses. C.T. misses the train to Nice, but shows up the next day, to everyones irritation. Mallorys cousin and aunt visit, and Ace celebrates his 24th birthday.

The housemates conclude their vacation with stops in Rome and Zermatt, Switzerland, where they go snowboarding. Leah personality grates on Mallory, Christina and Simon, leading to an argument among the four of them in a restaurant, and their ejection from that establishment.

C.T. nearly gets in a fight with another patron at a bar. He then turns his wrath on Adam, accusing him of being "two-faced". He later is enthused by the arrival of his girlfriend Jamie and her friend Wendy for a visit.

Adams friend Samir visits, and becomes friends with Leah, whos just returned from her weekend with Giuseppe. C.T. takes Christina to lunch in an attempt to mend their relationship.

Adams new beau Lamyae, a blonde from Germany with moderate English skills, will not have sex with him until he commits to a relationship. In the meantime he spends a romantic night with Ashley, an American vacationing in Paris. The roommates are given an assignment to stay overnight in a hotel and review different rooms. Adam asks Lamyae to stay overnight in his room, but she leaves when Adam confesses about his night with Ashley. The housemates invite Bryce and David over for dinner, for which the girls are excited to prepare a big feast. C.T. blunders by inviting Lamyae and her friend to attend the dinner, creating an awkward moment when Adam has to tell her on the phone there isnt enough food for two more people. The next night Lamyae and her friend visit the house, but Adam retires to his room, wounded when Lamyae remarks that he follows Ace around like a dog."

As end of the housemates stay in Paris looms, they are tasked to submit essays on their Paris experience. Bryce interviews each one and asks the same question: "Did you actually write and/or research everything you submitted?" C.T. is honest and admits to his plagiarism of the chateau review. Leah admits to not visiting the chateau, but states on camera that she researched and wrote her review. Ace, Adam, Christina and Leah enjoy a nude dip in the hot tub. Everyone but C.T. heads out for a last night on the town.

While the roommates party in the hot tub, Robin asks Jacquese if he is from the ghetto and he wonders ""what does someone from the ghetto look like?"" He thinks Robins opinions about people from the ghetto are based on things she has seen on TV and not in real life. Jacquese talks to his cousin Calvin about the incident in the hot tub and explains that respect is really big with him. When Jaime and Jacquese are together, they talk about how the two of them and Frankie are not in a clique in the house, but the others have formed a clique. Jaime wants everyone to be one giant clique, but its not quite working out that way. Jacquese is upstairs using the computer and no one tells him they are going out and hes upset that people arent including him. Cameran thinks that Jacquese is very sensitive and doesnt think anyone meant anything by not telling him they were going out. Randy notes that Jacquese is a little more introverted than the rest of the group and is being left

The boat crew trainees learn that after only three days on training they will be given a test to see how much they have digested so far. As soon as their instructors say ""test,"" Jaime starts to ask a lot of questions and really puts an effort into learning everything about sailing. The seven strangers are told that if they pass the test, they will earn their salary for the last few days, which will work out to be about $200 each. Star student Jaime is concerned that Robin is going to fail the test because she has not been showing much interest in the sailing. But Robin comes to Jaime for some study help and Jaime is more than willing to tutor her. Its the night before the test and Cameran, Brad and Randy have not studied and decide to put that off until after they go out and party. Besides, Brad is pretty confident that he already knows the ""bull---t terms"" that theyve been asked to memorize.

Its 3 a.m. that same night and Jacquese tries to wake up Frankie to tell her that both Brad and Robin are ""locked up."" Jacquese and Jamie see if they can pool their money together so they can go to a bail bondsman to spring Robin from the clink. Frankie wakes up and calls her boyfriend David, who can tell she is feeling guilty about something. Frankie claims she has no recollection of the evenings events, but she does feel a nagging twinge of guilt. Hmm, maybe thats cuz she was rubbing Randys stomach and blowing on his neck. Meanwhile, Robin calls the house because she does not want to be in jail overnight. Through this conversation, Jacquese learns that Robin hit a Marine. Jacquese tries to help her understand that shes probably going to spend the night in jail cuz they dont have $800 to post her bail. Jacquese then calls Robins father to give him the lowdown on the situation and explains that she is in need of some funding in order to get out of jail.

Frankie meets up with her ""friend"" Adam. Jacquese thinks that she should be careful because one thing can lead to another and Boom, Bazooka Joe, youre in a sticky situation. While Frankie innocently bats her eyes, Adam tells Frankie he can hook her up with some free tattoos while shes in San Diego, but she explains that she has to okay any tattoo artists with her boyfriend Dave, since he is also an artist. Frankie thinks that Dave would be more upset if she got a tattoo from someone else, than if she slept with someone else. The girls ask Frankie about whether or not she likes Adam and she claims they are just good buds. The girls dont buy it for a second.

Robin is wondering why she ever had a crush on Randy. The roommates go to a beach party and Robin explains that when she goes out, she is not interested in dating anyone else. When they are ready to head home, the roommates cant find Robin and it turns out shes hanging out with Mike, a Marine who she met at the party. When she gets into the taxi, Randy goes off on her about how she shouldnt have wandered off by herself with a strange guy. Cameran says she has trouble meeting guys because she thinks they are somewhat intimidated by her. Ryan, who she met in da club the other night was one of the first guys who ever approached her first.

When the alarm clock goes off in the Real World house, most of the roommates are puzzled by this unfamiliar sound and are slow to get up. Cameran explains the slowness. Most of them dont like their job on the sailboat. Cameran hates it and dreads it. Every time they have to go to work, Jamie gets stressed out and frustrated. She wants to be on time and is tired of the other roommates attitudes. When they arrive at the harbor, they are scolded for being 45 minutes late. Frankie notes that due to her Cystic Fibrosis, she has difficulty doing some of the things on the boat because she gets out of breath easy. And by the way, she hates the job too. Brad thinks that the main reason they dont like their job is cause of their boss Brian. Brad says Brian treats them like little kids who dont know what they are doing. The roommates consider about planning a little mutiny.

This episode of The Real World deals with the problem of self-injury or cutting. It contains behavior which some may find disturbing. Unfortunately, this is a behavior that occurs amongst Americas youth and its a sign of the severe emotional distress under which many of them live. A great deal can be learned by looking honestly at this problem. Frankie doesnt exactly know how she should handle the fact that she kissed Adam. She decides to call up Dave to tell him that no matter what happens, she loves him more than anything. While the sentiment of that statement may sound sweet, Dave is suspicious that something is up and hes right on target. Frankie confesses to kissing Adam and Dave ""kinda has a problem with her making out with that dude."" Frankie insists that it was only one drunken mistake. Dave thinks that she might do it again and believes she should have her freedom and decides not to visit her in San Diego.

Brad grills Frankie about her relationship with Adam. Frankie calls Adam a hipster with hats and lingo and she is not down with that. ""I wish that Dave would come out here so you guys would know what Im about,"" Frankie sighs. Ms. Hello Kitty pleads with Dave to come out and he agrees because he doesnt want to give up on their relationship too easily. Frankie also wants to know if Dave is committed to helping her fix her screw up. On the day that Dave is supposed to arrive, Adam practically whines on the phone when he Frankie says she cant see him today. His recent behavior irritates Frankie, but she knows its not the time to tell him to bug off because that might jeopardize her visit with Dave. She decides to not be nice and not be mean. Adam achieves stalker status when he just happens to show up at the Hustler store at 10am after Frankie had mentioned to him thats where she and Jaime where headed.

Frankie has issues with Robin and Cameran. Both of them irritate her. Mix in a 10 day trip to the Greek Isles and stir. Its not gonna be a pretty picture. Frankie immediately separates herself from the group once they arrive in Greece and this begins to ruin the enjoyment of the trip for the rest of the group. ""I dont want to be here with these people,"" Frankie growls. She adds that she is going to be so bitchy that no one is going to want to talk to her for the next 10 days. The roommates visit the Acropolis and other famous sites. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Lets get to the juicy stuff. In Santorini, which Cameran describes as ""something out of a book"" and ""the most beautiful place she has ever seen in her entire life."" Frankie is still frustrated that she is not on this trip with her honey, Dave. This frustration is bound to make her pop.

Frankie says it took her a while to realize that her roommates are not her friends and she doesnt need them anyway. ""When Im fed up, Im a huge bitch,"" Frankie threatens. Cameran notes that Frankie clearly cannot make herself happy in San Diego and Robin says it seems like Frankie just doesnt want to be happy. Frankie admits that being an outcast and not having friends was the hardest thing for Frankie growing up. Frankies mom, stepdad and sister are all coming to visit and while Frankie is really excited, at the same time, she is sad and doesnt know why. Frankie says her mind is a mess right now and is searching for someone close to her to help her out with these inner battles.

With Frankie gone, the six housemates wonder if another roommate will arrive. Cameran would rather it just be the six of them from here on out, while Brad wonders if their seventh roommate might be an ape. Brad is on the phone with his kinda, sorta girlfriend Andrea when Cameran calls out to him asking if he is coming into the hot tub. Andrea is not pleased and thinks that Cameran is a shady chick even though Brad tries to tell Annie that there isnt anything going on between him and Cameran. The housemates finally get word that they will, in fact, be getting a new roommate and three candidates will be arriving at the house today so they can interview them. They current housemates will collectively decide who their new roomie will be.

Charlies ""girlfriend"" Laura comes for a visit and Charlie decides to spend his time with his lady rather than go to work. All the roommates need their bonus, so they actually make a concerted effort to get to work on time, only to find out that Troy is going to penalize them because Charlie has apparently skipped out on work that day without clearing it with the boss-man. Apparently, Charlie has told Jamie that he talked to Troy and asked for his permission not to work while his gal pal was in San Diego. Troy claims this is not true and the roommates are pissed.

Reunion.
