UnReal 3.10

Commitment

Well, I kind of guessed the outcome, or at least part of it, but there was still at least one twist in the tale that I wasn't expecting. I have to say that this season of the show was the most lackluster to date. I get the friendship between Rachel and Quinn but the rest of it felt like window dressing and didn't carry any heft.

Codependence

Serena spends time in a sweat lodge with each of the three remaining men. Not much happens with Jasper. August strips naked and she follows suit. Owen talks to her about a horrible memory he has from his time in Iraq.

Rachel desperately tries to connect with someone after Dr. Simon questions whether she has any friends or a life outside of her job. Serena suggests that Rachel should come and work for her after the season is over. It sounds very tempting but by the end of the episode Rachel has pulled some tricks that probably sank any chance there was of Serena following through on that offer.

Projection

The show, Everlasting that is, takes center stage for what feels like the first time this season. Serena has to go on a hometown date with one of the guys. Rachel and Quinn want her to pick Owen. She's cool with that but Owen questions her sincerity. Serena takes a moment, thinks about what happened, and then asks Owen again. This time she is more open and honest about what they've been through up to this point. This time Owen says yes and takes her home to Colorado with him.

Rachel was trying to keep his presence on the set a secret but all of sudden everyone knows about it.

Gestalt

August tries to blackmail Quinn. He doesn't like the direction things are headed. It's clear to him that Serena knows about what he did with Quinn and that she's no longer interested in him. Rachel does what she can to get him in even more trouble. August can see what's going on but it doesn't look good for him.

Confront

It looks like Passport to Dance, Jay's proposed show is getting the green light. Things never move that fast but in the reality of the show it seems to be the case. A couple problems arise over the course of the episode. Jay wanted Xavier, his boyfriend, to hosr the new show but Quinn wants Alexi to be the host. Guess who that fight? Later in the episode Jay finds out that Alexi likes to snort coke. His coke habit probably explains in part his wild behavior. Jay bribes Alexi with more coke after he loses interest in hosting Passport to Dance. Jay does not look like he is comfortable being his provider but he still does it.

Clarity

Rachel and Quinn continue to butt heads over the direction the show is headed. Quinn has the ultimate say and lets Rachel know that from here on out Serena will be produced by Madison. It doesn't last but it ultimately it causes a confrontation between Quinn and Rachel.

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.

UnReal 3.01

Oath

Rachel returns to Everlasting after a 6-month hiatus. She has spent the time on a farm, taking care of animals and working on telling the truth. Quinn talks her in to coming back to work on the reality TV show. Rachel talks Quinn into accepting Chet's idea: have a female (instead of male bachelor at the center of the show. Serena, the female bachelor, is loaded and makes her money investing in tech companies. She hasn't had much experience dating, or at least that's the impression I get.
