Episode 6—From the previews, it looks like this episode will be one that doesn't completely piss me off, Ashley-style, as it looks like she gets rull mad and possibly leaves. Knowing what a lil tease MTV is, she won't follow through, but here's to hoping.
The recap in the beginning tells me Mike told Ashley about a relationship he left back home, with a guy named Tater....umm how in the world did I miss THAT? Anywho, opening scene is Andrew and Ashley in the hot tub and Ashley is being lame. Typical. She's getting pissed because Andrew "isn't being serious" with her and she wants to have a heart to heart, because she knows nothing about him (probably for good reason).
We are reminded that photography is Callie's passion, so she's out in DC taking pics. Interesting. Back at the hizzle, Callie says she is applying for a photography position at a local paper, The Washington Blade. She calls the office and leaves a super lame message when the guy doesn't answer. But we all know she'll get the internship.
Andrew gets pumped because he got a new pair of sunglasses in the mail—not just any pair of shades, though. With that, he heads to da club. He picks up some girl in a hot pink tube dress and says she "has to" go home with him, she doesn't want to, but she gives the digits out regardless. So Andrew goes home to flirt with, and annoy, Callie. Andrew then says "it's tough to be a guy in DC" to which Ashley replies, "oh it's tough to be a woman in DC, in fact, don't even start."
Oh, it's been started. And so begins the yelling festival we've been seeing all week long. Andrew tells Ashley she just thinks she's sOoOoOo hot and she's not. Ouch. So Ash claims she's tired of the bullshit and starts complaining to Callie, who shuts her down—"nothing happened, you guys said things to each other." Ashley continues, saying Andrew thinks the rules don't apply to him. Errrr ok, what rules?
Mike is back at the HRC, working, I guess or talking about gays in the military; fair enough. Back at home, Mike is on the phone with Tanner, someone from back home. From the sound of the conversation, Tanner is coming in town and then I connect the dots that Tanner is Tater. But I really like the name Tater. So that's what it is.
Callie gets an e-mail from Kevin, the guy with the internship. So she's getting her resume and portfolio together (again with the goals). She then does this dramatic move where she skips the pizza, cracks her knuckles and sits down at a computer with a blank screen. She then says she's never had a reason to have a resume. Uh, chica say what????? See also: Silver Spoon.
Meanwhile, Ashley is screaming her face off because Andrew starts a pizza fight and gets pizza in Ashley's bed. Mike gets pissed because he is trying to sleep. Later, Ashley is cleaning up the empty pizza boxes, when Andrew pushes her and throws a pizza box. Ashley goes into the corner, so she can sit and cry. Ty makes Andrew clean up the mess, while Em and Ty say he needs to talk to her. Ashley is hosting her very own pity party "that's right, I deserve to be pushed by a grown man, yep."
Ash is explaining herself to Callie, saying she had to hide from Ty and now she doesn't feel safe sleeping in the house. Ashley knows everything because she grew up in an abusive house and you can't let things go without punishment. Callie says she doesn't think Andrew has it in him to hurt a girl, but Ashley disagrees and says no one understands her. Ty says Andrew won't hit Ashley, but it's gotten out of hand. So Andrew comes downstairs and apologizes and says he never pushed her and she needs to get over it. Ash and Callie step outside and Ashley is crying. Again. Callie brings up her faith in God and says Ashley is here for a reason. So obviously, Ashley is staying in a hotel that night. She doesn't have parents, so she must stay in a hotel. Buh bye!!!
Ashley comes home in the morning, because abuse can't happen when the sun is shining. Andrew is just now finding out that Ash stayed in a hotel and says it's just for the sympathy (duh). Ash wakes up Callie and tells it to her straight: it's not a big deal to Andrew, so figure out why it's such a big deal for you. Andrew finds "Body Language 101" on the bookshelf and starts checking it out for advice.
Callie is flipping out because she overslept and her resume isn't done and she's not dressed and she has to be on the metro in 5 minutes. So Emily does her resume for her and Ashley has to go with her on the metro because Callie doesn't know how to do that, either. Then the bomb drops—it's a gay and lesbian publication. Callie is officially a fucktard.
Ericka appears out of nowhere and is getting the scoop on the happenings of the evening from Andrew. Ericka assumes there's going to be a "conversation" between Andrew and Ashley. Later, Andrew says he thinks going up to Ash and talking to her just gives her the opportunity to tell her sad life story. I am starting to think Andrew is the smartest person on this show.
Callie, Ericka, and Mike head to the gay club because Callie has her first photo assignment for the paper. While there, Mike gets hit on left and right and takes a guy home...what about Tater??? So things are getting hot n' heavy and he stays the night. Yikes.
Later, Ashley tells Josh she's sick of fighting and now she realizes she put pressure on Andrew to open up. She confesses to overreacting and being dramatic. Wow... Andrew apologizes and Ashley says she's willing to be the peanut gallery and laugh at his jokes. Naturally, Andrew tries to put his moves on Ash, but fails again.
Next week: Ericka is "going home" which I don't know if she means the house or...home home. Looks like there's also a lil something with Mike and his sexuality. We shall see.
