UnREAL 1.05

Truth

- Once again, three tracks

- On one track we have Rachel and Jeremy tagging along as Adam goes home to Mississippi with Faith to visit her grandmother; Rachel is encouraged to get Faith to give up her virginity to Adam while on the trip; instead she winds up coming out and admitting that she is in love with her best friend, Amy; some of her confession is caught on camera; Rachel tries to intercept the recording but is unable to do so; she turns to Jay for help but he is too busy trying to please Chet to help Rachel and Faith
- there is a lot of tension in this one over whether Faith's on camera confession will go live or not; at first Rachel is happy with herself for getting Faith to come out but then she gets nervous that Faith will ruin it by coming out in front of the whole town, who very likely won't be anywhere near as understanding as Rachel or Amy; then there's the tension over what will happen to the footage of her confession
- Rachel's still not over Jeremy as is demonstrated in two scenes, one with him, and the other where she is in bed alone getting off to their sex tape; Jeremy on the other hand doesn't feel the same magnetic pull; in the hot and heavy scene they have together he starts to make out with her but then he has second thoughts before things get too far and walks off

- on the second track Quinn presses forward with a lawsuit against Chet; after her lawyer advises her that she doesn't have a strong case against Chet she decides to pursue a different angle and goes after him for palimony; in the end, after a bit of back and forth maneuvering, Chet gives in and gives Quinn what she wants, a 40% share in the show; Quinn seems satisfied

- on the third track Mary gets pushed by a few people to stand up for herself; first it is Shia who starts off by pushing her to start drinking and then sneaks into Mary's room and messes with her medication; after that Mary gets a visit from Quinn who has been drinking and is still in the middle of her legal tussle with Chet; Mary ends up confessing on camera in a very bold way to Adam about her past; which seems to play in her favor because Adam picks her for the next home date; at the end of the episode we see her drinking; between the alcohol and the spiked medication I don't envision this ending well for Mary

- Another solid episode; I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and maybe it will before this is all over but so far I am still very impressed by this show

- I've got no idea how this will all end; probably not well; I have trouble imagining how season two could measure up to this one
