UnREAL 1.04

Wife

- Adam cons his way into getting Everlasting to pretty up an old rundown villa in the hills of Napa; they are supposed to be shooting a date there with 5 of the remaining 10 women; turns out what he is hoping is to attract investors in the villa; a couple of investors show up on the set but their interest fades when they learn that Adam's father's company won't be involved in running the property
- Adam gets into hot water with the 10 remaing contestants when they find out about a tabloid article that reveals that he has been texting his ex; he manages to get out of the hot water but then turns up the heat himself by passionately kissing Mary within sight of some of the other contestants, at Rachel's request
- Rachel is falling for Adam; at first I didn't think it could be, even after he kissed her on the cheek, but considering how they ended the episode, with her watching and then deleting the tape of the two of them sharing that intimate moment, it is the only logical conclusion
- Quinn has the most interesting arc in this episode; she is still mad at Chet and goes to see Bill; he and Quinn were an item before Everlasting, which wasn't just Chet's idea, but he managed to claim all the credit; in this episode she is using Bill to get at Chet; she's sick of playing second fiddle, being the side wife; she wants more; she tells Bill, early in the episode, that a law suit is a non-starter but towards the end of the episode she suggests to Chet that she is thinking about it or about going public with her original copy of the proposal for the show which has her name on it as co-creator
- there's more, like Jay's attempt to get in Chet's good graces which blows up in his face and Athena's attempt to get on Adam's good side which similarly goes nowhere

- great episode; love the introduction of more back story; love seeing the various layers of the onion slowly get un peeled
- it was interesting to see Adam play a bigger role in this one
- even though Rachel was ever present her personality seemed somewhat subdued; maybe because she is pining for Adam
