The Rat King
Alex and Rae, the new roommate, host a Magic the Gathering Party at their place on a Friday night. It starts as a small group but grows. They don't get around to playing the game because someone sees a rat or traces of a rat in one of the bathrooms.
Originally it looked like the party was just going to consist of Alex, Rae, Val, Laura, and Leon. Laura brings Casey, her boss, with her. Val calls Leia and asks her to bring over her cat, to help catch the rat. Later, Val calls Jack who brings over traps and sticks to catch or kill the rat with. In the end it is the cat who catches and kills the rat.
Laura seems to be sexually interested in her boss. She gets to see her naked but nothing happens between them. It is unclear if her boss is aware of Laura's feelings.
Leia turns out to be the woman who was in bed with Leon in the previous episode. They find a moment alone to share a kiss. They decide to announce their relationship to everyone else. Just as they are about to make the announcement the party breaks up just before the game is about to begin.
This episode was an interesting contrast to the last one this time everyone was together. I liked it but there was something about the rat that felt like a gimmick and left me a bit unsatisfied.
