Ryan and Baya go out to bars and it doesn't take them long to start flirting. Ryan meets some music guy who works for Crush management who definitely won't help our army man make music. You have to be talented to pull that off. Mike hasn't called Katelynn. Baya comforts her about it over a workout. Devyn and Scott have a raw chicken slapping fight which, is actually gross and not at all cute or attractive. Scott and Devyn both admit to flirting with one another. Devyn and Sara have a conversation about it and Sara is convinced that Scott likes Devyn. They make a bet that the two of them will hook up in 30 days for 30 dollars.
Chet and Ryan show up to meet the Crush guys. Chet really wants to be a television host. Baya wants to learn how to spin because she'd be an awesome DJ. Ryan starts talking to them about a music career and he asks for constructive criticism. I'm sure he'll get a lot more than that. Back at home, Ryan starts serenading them with a song he wrote about a fellow army guy who found out his wife was cheating on him. He repeats the words “Liar” and “No, please don't lie to me anymore.” I'm going to hazard a guess and say those are original lyrics.
Baya is DJing at Angels and Kings. Katelynn starts drinking heavily and flirting with boys at the bar. She justifies it by saying she's upset about Mike. Katelynn starts making out with a girl. No one in the house finds it amusing. But I do. Devyn gives her a lecture about using drinking to solve problems. I can't wait until Devyn gets upset when she finds out Scott doesn't like her and she does the same thing. We all know that's going to happen and then she'll have to eat her words.
Chet is once again really obsessed with Ryan and goes with him to Ryan's audition with Machine. Ryan tells his Iraq story. Evidently, he was stationed at Sadam's trial, which is kind of cool. Ryan plays his “tampon song.” Note to Ryan: when trying to impress music execs, don't play a song about tampons. Machine totally shoots him down because his music is definitely not serious. Ryan blames Chet for his failure because Chet recommended the song. Baya asks Ryan about the day and he obviously didn't want to talk about it. No one wants to admit they were stupid enough to play a song about a tampon when trying to make it big.
Devyn makes a BFF-o-meter for Scott. Essentially, the higher up it gets, the closer they get to hooking up. Scott's friend Alex comes to visit the house and Devyn's instantly jealous although she claims to not be jealous because she's just “annoyed.” Out at the club, Scott's flirting with Devyn. Chet starts flirting with Alex. Although she's much hotter than him, he says in an interview that he'd “give her two weeks.” Alex and Devyn try to start talking about Scott when Scott and Chet interrupt. Chet pops his pecks, which is the most disgusting thing ever.
Baya and Ryan are flirting again when Ryan says, “Hey, I have a girlfriend.” Baya gets really angry because she claims she was never flirting with him. To prove her point she starts flirting with Chet. HA! Back at the house in the bathroom, Ryan tries to say he was kidding and then he admits he got scared. He said it wasn't her, it's him. If I were her, I would have said, “Scared of what? Trying to get with me?” But, to each her own.
Scott shows Sara a picture of Melissa, his girlfriend back at home who he's very much in love with. She then instantly goes to tell Devyn and Katelynn. Devyn is pissed. Day one, everyone was asked if they were single and Scott had said yes. Dev thinks it's a good idea to go talk to him right away. She doesn't straight out say anything about herself, but it's very clear that when she's talking about girls, she's talking about herself.
Sara, the therapist, coaches Katelynn through her drama with Mike. She tells Katelynn to tell Mike her feelings. I doubt that goes well.
Katelynn meets a guy named Matt at the bar and gives him her phone number. Katelynn goes on a date with him. JD makes his first appearance of the episode to ask Katelynn if Mike knows she's going out with some guy. Whatever. Matt and Katelynn have a great date and she brings him back home. She decides not to tell him she's transgender, which essentially means she doesn't want to date him.
At dance class, Baya finally interviews and admits that her and Ryan flirt. Well, duh. Ryan writes Baya an e-mail telling her how much he likes her but that he can't at this point in his life. Devyn tries to help by telling Baya she'll make her a secret BFF-o-meter. I'm going to be honest and say that probably won't help Baya feel any better. Next week – Sara deals with some dark stuff when a blast from the past contacts her.
