UnReal 3.02

Shield

Serena continues to do things her way. This enrages Quinn and causes the men to lose interest. She beats them all in a game of poker. Chet suggests to Serena that she should try a different tact if she wants to have any success with the guys. Madison chimes into agree with Chet. Serena decides to give their approach a try and tries being more deferential.

Chet's new girlfriend comes to Quinn for help. Quinn tries to tell her to take a hike but ends up agreeing to help her, just before she goes to Chet and warns him about what just happened. Serena starts having fun acting like a ditz. She wants to wear the dress that she refused to wear in 3.01 (Oath). Serena's change of attitude depresses Rachel, who was all about getting a strong woman to be at the center of the show. Quinn is also depressed and expresses it through drinking too much. Dr. Simon tries talking to both of them, individually. He expresses concern for the way they are acting. Neither of them wants to talk to him and shut him down fairly quickly, each in their own special way.

Serena continues to act dumb as the men fawn over her during a contest in which each of the men takes turns serenading her. Rachel breaks the monotony by encouraging the Russian ballet dancer to interrupt the American race car driver's serenade. A fight quickly breaks out. Most of the men get involved. Quinn loves it until Billy, the race car driver, threatens to sue.

Rachel gets close to one of the contestants, August. She looks like she is ready to sleep with him but then walks off, back to her own bed. Quinn saw the whole thing. After Rachel leaves she talks August into coming back to her office. Why did she have sex with the one guy who showed interest in Rachel? Quinn and Rachel were getting on each other's nerves throughout the episode. This has to be her way of getting back at Rachel. It seemed like the sort of thing Quinn might do but it didn't have quite the impact that it probably should have, at least not in my heart.

Not bad. I'm still curious to see where this season goes. Rachel's armor seems to be cracking. It's probably just a matter of time before she reverts to her old ways. She almost slept with one of the contestants. It wouldn't be her first time doing that but considering how she's supposed to be all about honesty and what not, it seems like a significant moment in her downward spiral.
