UnREAL 1.07

Savior

- another solid episode; the focus of this flows out of the tragedy that occurred at the end of the previous episode
- there is lots of finger pointing and self-flagellation over what happened; Rachel and Shia each have their reasons for feeling culpable; Rachel doesn't know Shia's reason until Shia spills the beans; once Quinn learns what Shia was up to she has Jay secure her in a hotel room until the press has cooled down
- Quinn and Rachel quickly go into damage control mode; against orders from the corporate lawyers they start to put together some interviews to make it clear what kind of man Kirk, Mary's ex, is; they don't want to see him profiting in any way from the tragedy; in the end they even get Mary's sister in on the act; they keep Chet and everyone else in the dark about Shia's role in the tragedy
- Adam is very hard on Rachel, for good reason as she is very close lipped about what happened and what circumstances led up to the tragedy; the other contestants react to the tragedy in a variety of ways; Maya decides she has had enough and leaves the show
- Rachel has sex with Jeremy (in the trailer where she has been sleeping) the night after the tragedy and sneaks into Adam's bed the next night
- Chet tells Quinn he has left his wife

- the whole episode was very moving and tense, there weren't a lot of laughs in this one
