Wow. So much happened in this week's episode and all of it was infuriating. I use that word a lot in reference to this show. But really, it often infuriates me. I just want to hunt these people down and smack some sense into them. How can they all be so stupid? And then I realize no self-respecting, intelligent person would be caught dead on this show. Yes, once upon a time there were smart people in the cast, but now I can only think longingly of those halcyon days gone by... and write about these bozos.

We start off — where else — in a bar. In fact, I believe it's their favorite watering hole, The Monarck. Stephen is macking the ladies. (Please note: I use the term ladies quite loosely.) There's like a little crowd of skanks around him. Why, I don't know. It's not like he's even that cute. Like I've said before, I have a feeling that MTV camera following them around makes them a whole lot cuter. At least to skanks. He takes a break from chatting up the "ladies" to let us know he has a girlfriend at home named Mercii. Jenn tells us that Stephen has asked her to keep an eye on him when they go out. She's supposed to run interference in the event he has too much to drink and forgets he has a girlfriend. Of course, we get to see her in action as she interrupts a snog session with some random bar skank. He doesn't take the intervention well. Who didn't see that one coming? Jenn loudly announces that it's time to go home.

On the walk home , Brooke declares that she smells funky. Maybe it's because you're 24 and still don't know how to wipe yourself. Davis offers to take a shower with her. Ew. She squeals and says, "If you keep saying things like that I'm gonna fall in love with you." Apparently, that's all it takes for Brooke to fall in love with you: the offer of a shared shower. I'm surprised she didn't propose to the bum who told her she had a nice ass while she was lost in the "ghetto."

Brooke tells us that she and Davis have a flirty relationship, but it's all in fun. That in itself would be no big deal. I have jokingly flirty relationships with several of my female friends, especially my close lesbian friends. The key word there is "joking." Brooke and Davis take things a little farther than that, as we'll soon see. Keep reading.

Brooke continues that she doesn't want to be the girl who falls for a gay boy. Oh, please. You were the one who was so desperate to have a gay boy in the house to begin with. I think she has some sick fetish for gay guys.

Anyway, they get inside and Jenn, apropos of nothing, announces that she wants a hot dog. Brooke says she wants a hot dog, too. Davis suggestively adds, to Brooke, "Yeah, you would." Brooke squeals again, as if that was some witty bon mot, and says, "Davis, if you don't stop I really will just f*ck you." Well, now. Either Brooke is incredibly sexually frustrated, she's easily turned on, or she's already falling for Davis. Maybe a little of all three?

Davis interviews that he loves it when Brooke is all over him. He eats up the attention. Gee, I never would have gathered that if he hadn't spelled it out for us. Cut to a scene of Brooke sexually molesting Davis in the kitchen. She's got her hand between his legs and he's yelling, "Stop it! It's mine!" Gah! I did not need to see that.

Next thing you know, there's suddenly all these never-before-seen skanks in the house. I'm guessing the guys brought some friends home from the bar. There's no explanation at all. They're extraneous to this scene as we're supposed to be focusing on the Brooke and Davis snuggle fest going on in the other room.

The two of them are cuddled up in a chair, wrapped around each other as Brooke asks him when the last time he had sex with a girl was. He tells her three months ago. Huh? I knew he had only come out recently, but wow. She asks him why he's having sex with girls if he's gay. He says he was drunk. "Did you like it?" she asks, with more than a hint of hopefulness in her voice. He did. She's shocked. She thought he was gay! Because a gay man can't have sex with a woman. Just ask former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevy. Or disgraced pastor Ted Haggard. Or a host of other closeted gay men who've come out recently. Or for that matter, why can't Davis be bisexual? Sexuality is much more fluid these days among the younger generations, even for guys.

Either way, Davis brags to us about how he was voted class flirt in high school. He always had lots of girlfriends and he likes sexy women. Then what's he doing with Brooke?
