UnREAL 1.09

Princess

- Where to begin?
- After having sex with Adam, Rachel gets Jeremy's text and seeks him out and winds up going back to his place with him; for a short while it seems like everything is going to work and she and Jeremy will be able to live happily ever after; they talk about quitting; everything seems great
- Quinn continues to work her little scheme; she tries going behind Chet's back to network to work a deal of her own; she does what she can to ensure that she doesn't get pregnant after having unprotected sex with Chet; she invites Rachel to become her business partner but Rachel turns her down; Rachel is still gaga over Jeremy and the life she wants them to have
- Chet's attempt to get Grace to "sex up" her date with Adam blows up in Chet's face; Rachel manages to smooth things over after Chet finally gets the message and backs off
- Madison is uncomfortable after Quinn reveals that she knows what happened with Chet and insists that the PA get and attorney and sue Chet; Madison turns to Dr. Wagerstein for advice and tells her everything; Dr. Wagerstein takes it to Chet and in the process reveals that Quinn knows all about what happened with Madison; these scenes are some of the funniest of the show; I love all the double entendres and miscommunication and reveals that happen in these scenes
- Quinn reviews the tapes for something of value and finds footage of Rachel and Adam having sex; she uses that to blackmail Rachel into coming to work for her; she threatens to show it to Jeremy who knows nothing of her having sex with Adam
- the episode ends with Adam suggesting that Rachel run away with him that night

- loved how fake the dates with Grace, Anna, and Faith are shown to be
- so much double dealing and backstabbing in this one
- sad as it may seem I'm not sure that Rachel is meant to be happy, certainly not in the silly romantic sort of way that she seems to crave; her desire for something along those lines seems antithetical to everything that came before it and her general nature as revealed in this show; I think she is just succumbing to the lure of something different that she might have once had briefly and is fooling herself into thinking it can last
- on the whole a wonderful episode; I really hope they stick the landing in the next and final episode of the season but either way it has been a fun ride from the beginning to now
