2:30: Flashbacks from previous episodes show Stephen, Brooke and Davis missing their first Outward Bound trip, Davis’s boyfriend PJ getting a tour of the house (and its attendant drama) and Davis and Brooke drunkenly flirting.
2:31: We open with Brooke stumbling out of Davis’s bedroom while laughing, apparently shocked by Davis and PJ making out. Ah, maturity. She calls in Jenn to watch, as if the gay boys are circus animals. Jenn theorizes Brooke is just ready to break because she wants to get laid. No argument here…
2:32: Brooke actually stands on the bed as the guys make out. Jenn comes in to gawk. Jesus Christ. It’s like watching a couple of 10 year olds. Brooke then makes her way to the courtyard where Tyrie is shooting hoops. Tyrie gets some serious horny vibes from Brooke. “Either we’re going to do this or she’s gotta calm that mess down,” he asserts. “I’m going to buy you a vibrator,” he tells Brooke..... Make sure it’s crazy-proof!
2:33: Chris, the course director for Outward Bound, is on the speakerphone as everyone gathers round. Apparently Stephen, Brooke, and Davis need to make up their physical training at the Colorado Athletic Club with 90 minutes of exercise, then climb two peaks in one day and take a picture of the summit to verify it. Sounds fair, right?
2:34: Colie thinks the training sounds really hard, which is what she likes. She felt her own training was hard too. They feign politeness as they say goodbye to Chris, although it’s obvious the Lame Squad is pissed about their assignment. They get to the gym and Brooke says it’s hard for her to do squats due to knee and ankle injuries. The instructor seems dubious. They do various gym and bike exercises, Brooke lagging way behind.
2:35: “Should I get somebody with some grapes and a fan maybe?” the instructor asks. Nah dude, get a stun gun. Stephen says, “Everything we have to do to get better, Brooke has a downgraded version of it. But the mountain’s going to be the same for everybody.” Indeed, which is what will make it interesting. That night, Davis, Brooke and PJ are hanging out at a bar when they start discussing a threesome.
2:36: Brooke jokes about turning a gay guy straight. Right… Then they’re at Hush dancing and hanging out (they were spotted there on more than one occasion). Davis freaks Brooke pretty hardcore before she starts making the rounds from guy to guy.
2:37: Her hormones about to spontaneously combust, Brooke kisses Tyrie, who responds with, “You’re going to get me in trouble,” then rethinks and says, “I don’t care, let’s go.” Alex looks appropriately shocked, and Davis leaves feeling awkward. Don’t blame you there, buddy. Tyrie: “When she’s not tripping, Brooke is a hell of a time to be around.” Yep, and even when she is tripping.
2:38: Back at the house and in their swimwear, PJ feels understandably weird that Brooke’s drunkenly trying to steal Davis away from him. PJ walks into the bathroom and Davis is pulling up his zipper while facing Brooke. Brooke tries to assure PJ that nothing happened, then say he needs to look out for himself and one else. Huh?
2:43: Shots of a portentously cloudy/rainy day lead to PJ and Davis dining at the Samba Room (a whole street over from where they live), talking about how Brooke is a drama queen that creates things which don’t really exist. Of course, she’s been cheated on by three different boyfriends, but does that make it OK?
2:44: Davis takes PJ to the airport where they have a sad, very kissy-faced goodbye. And Davis in his red pants.
2:45: Tyrie: “Davis comes home and he’s real upset.” Like a good friend, Tyrie gives him some comfort before Davis mentions how he isn’t going to see PJ for six months because PJ’s going to Argentina (you might remember how Davis went there to join him after the show wrapped). Tyrie, who’s increasingly the only sane person in the house, talks about what a friend Davis is. Aww, how sweet.
2:46: Back at Crú on Larimer Square, Davis tells the harpies (er, Jenn and Colie) about how Brooke drunkenly kissed Tyrie. Colie talks about how Brooke thinks Davis is her property. She makes the good point that commitment is the same regardless of sexual orientation. Back at the Colorado Athletic Club everyone plus Alex (hey, he’s kind of in the episode, right?) is on the treadmills while Brooke tells their instructor about her thoughts of a potential threesome. He laughs, probably restraining himself from checking his pants.
2:47: They exchange some words and Davis chimes in again about what a drama queen Brooke is. The next morning, the alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. for Stephen, Davis and Brooke to climb a mountain in Boulder (but which one?)
2:48: Brooke, like a cornered animal, submits to the hike but with much bitching. Brooke: “Not only am I doing things that I hate, I’m having to be told that this is my job.” NO CRAP. That’s what you signed up for. Brooke asks for a break after five whole minutes, during which she says she already feels bad from the hike.
2:49: Brooke very quickly gets snippy with everyone and Davis asks her not to snap at him, then gives her the finger. Suddenly unhinged, she throws water in his face. This mild replay of her blowup from weeks prior begins to come to a head when Stephen steps in and — d’oh! — we cut to commercial.
2:54: For God’s sake, you have to feel bad for Davis, who maybe shouldn’t have flipped her off, but who in most other ways was being a reasonable person. Brooke’s emotions seem about a millimeter from the surface at all times.
2:55: Brooke calls Davis an asshole. Davis calls her a ***** and points out how easily she snapped at Jenn and Colie. “Barked” is more like it. Stephen and Brooke stay behind as Davis angrily heads up the mountain by himself. Brooke complains about how Davis was coming on to her the whole time, which leaves out how mutual the whole was.
2:56: Now Stephen’s pissed at Davis because he’s got the map and the compass, and they’re stranded on… uh… an improved trail on a sunny day. How daunting. Maybe you shouldn’t have picked the crazy one to stay with. Stephen and Brooke make it to a clearing that they think is the summit. “This is great, I feel like I’ m on top of the world,” Brooke says. Stephen calls Chris to make sure they’re in the right spot, and to ask if the orange flags mean they’re finished.
2:57: Apparently the orange flags mean the trees around them need to be cut down (sorry guys). They meet up with a fairly calmed-down Davis and continue to the peak where they take a photo and sign the the hiker logs.
2:58: Back at 1920 Market Street, Brooke, Jenn and Davis head out on the town, starting to look like they’re back on the same page, all smiley and whatnot. Davis apologizes then Brooke apologizes, and all’s well in Happy TV Land.
2:59: It doesn’t take long for them to get back to the club, freaking each other and drinking while Alex looks on (he’s good at that this episode). Everyone makes up and Davis kisses Brooke’s boobs. Back to that in record time! Yes, you can have spats and make up with people you love/hate (just look at our relationships with our siblings) but these people do it on a freakishly accelerated schedule.
3:00: Previews from the next episode: Jenn hooks up with a dude named Darnelle, Tyrie tells his girl Jazalle that he had sex with his other girl Ashley. Jazalle appears to freak out and back him into the bathroom while the roommates try to defend him. Uh… think booze was involved?
