Episode Overview
Title: Back to Reality Plot: The housemates return from Morocco, filled with newfound admiration for New York and a refreshed dynamic among themselves. Mike is determined to amp up his personality, aiming to express himself at a “level 10” instead of a “level four.” He’s particularly looking forward to a visit from his friend Sarah from Ohio, whom he describes as a “friends with benefits” situation, claiming Ohio girls are far more entertaining than those he knows in New York. To everyone’s shock, Mike becomes the first in the house to hook up, causing outrage among the girls, especially Coral, who threatens to abstain from intimacy altogether if Mike’s escapades continue to be a topic of discussion. Meanwhile, Rachel is smitten with Gabe, a guitarist she kissed after last summer’s Warped Tour, but her roommates remain skeptical, and Coral offers a cautionary warning about him.
