In the tag for the week, Aneesa has Chris inspect her various skin problems. He determines that the rash on her back is from the microphone, but neither of them can figure out why the skin on her neck is irritated. Aneesa says that it looks like a hickey. Chris calls it "Bactitious Veronicus," which is actually pretty funny. Aneesa doesn't get it at first, but finally figures it out.
Previously on The Real World: CJP admitted that she always needs a boyfriend, and she's needy. So stop being that way! Aneesa's mom doesn't approve of her daughter's "lifestyle." Aneesa didn't want to be someone that she's not. Aneesa liked Feminem, but Feminem is still "breaking up" (read: sleeping) with Fat Cow.
This episode begins right where the last one left off, with Feminem and Fat Cow having just left the loft, and Aneesa crying. Theo comes up and gives Aneesa a hug. Aneesa says that she wishes she could call her mom. CJP tells her to do it. Aneesa calls her mom, and for some reason Tonya sits right there, clad only in a towel. Give her some space, Tonya! Aneesa's mom is totally unsympathetic, saying that she told Aneesa not to like anyone. Oh, that's a good life strategy. Aneesa cries and says that if Feminem were a guy, her mother would be more sympathetic. Her mother denies it. Aneesa's mom tells her to "just have a good time with the people [she] is living with." Aneesa sobs and shakes her head, and hangs up.
CJP announces that her father is coming to town, and invites all of her roommates to go out to dinner. Kyle and Keri say that they will go. CJP peeks into the shower where Aneesa is trying to wash her hair and gets Aneesa to say that she will go. In an interview, Aneesa says that CJP is close with her family, but that "whatever happened in her childhood is affecting her right now." What happened in her childhood? Did I miss something?
CJP and Tonya sit on a bed and talk. CJP says that she's never been without a boyfriend. Should she really be talking about this with Tonya, who has to call Justin before she can wipe her own ass? Tonya asks whether CJP is worried about the pattern. CJP says that she's terrified about what it says about her -- that she can't be alone. So be alone! I don't get how all this talking about it but not doing anything about it helps. Although I guess she did break up with the Subway guy, so she is doing something. CJP tells Tonya that her father is an endocrinologist, and is brilliant, and lives in Indianapolis. The rest of her family lives in St. Louis. Apparently, they all lived in Boston, and then her father moved to St. Louis. Then they all moved to St. Louis, and her father moved to Indianapolis. And her parents aren't divorced. Dude, that's kind of weird. CJP admits, "It's not ideal." Also, Dr. CJP needs to stop leaving a forwarding address if he doesn't want his family to follow him around. CJP shows pictures of her family to Chris and Tonya, and calls her father an absent-minded scientist. In footage from her audition, CJP admits that she was never Daddy's little girl, but always wanted to be. This whole situation is setting off major alarms with me.
CJP's dad arrives. CJP runs downstairs in a towel to answer the door. How inappropriate is that? Like, throw on a t-shirt or something. Mr. CJP looks uncomfortable as he hugs his daughter and waves to the camera. In an interview, CJP says that she has only become close with her father recently. Yeah, because the dude kept moving to other cities once you caught up with him! That would make it difficult to be close. Now, their relationship is really loving, and he's affectionate with her. He never was, until she turned eighteen. Ding ding ding! Is anyone else hearing these warning bells? CJP introduces her father to Theo, who is standing in the bathroom in his boxers. Do these people wear clothes, ever? Theo is impressed that Dr. CJP can just fly in and out of a city on the same day. Theo says that means Dr. CJP is "a baller." He makes Dr. CJP say, "I'm a baller," but Dr. CJP accidentally says, "I'm a ball." Hee!
The whole gang goes to eat at Café Absinthe. In an interview, Keri says that she loves meeting people's parents, because then she can see where the people come from. At dinner, CJP points out Aneesa's pendant. Aneesa explains that it has the Star of David on the back, and that it belonged to her grandmother, who died before Aneesa was born. Aneesa's mother gave it to her and told her not to ruin the family's reputation while she was on the show. Aneesa says that her mother wants to prepare the world for her. CJP adds that Aneesa's mother is wonderful, but that she wanted CJP to try to make Aneesa date men. Dr. CJP takes a big sip of wine, probably because the combination of being forced to stare at Aneesa's breasts while pretending to look at her pendant and then hearing that Aneesa likes to have sex with wimmins was too much for him. Aneesa explains that the more her mother tells her what to do, the more she doesn't want to do it. Dr. CJP explains that parents have visions for their kids, and that when the kids make choices that don't fit with that vision, it's difficult. CJP looks sad. In an interview, CJP says that her dad always wanted her to be more athletic, and smarter. Now, CJP realizes that her father will love her no matter what she does.
CJP, Aneesa, Tonya, and Theo show up for work. CJP and Aneesa practically slam the van door in Tonya's face, accidentally, which cracked me up. In an interview, Aneesa says that she hasn't heard from Feminem. In an interview, CJP says that she doesn't blame Aneesa for having feelings for Feminem, since sometimes when someone pushes you away, it makes you want them more. CJP and Aneesa agree that the way Feminem ended things was "foul."
Aneesa gets home and checks her messages. There's one from Feminem, saying that she really needs to see Aneesa, and that she's not going to give up. Aneesa hangs up and dances down the hallway, singing, "I knew the bitch was going to call!"
Aneesa plays the message for Tonya, who begs Aneesa not to return the call. CJP, in the shower, also encourages Aneesa not to call. On the message, Feminem says that she wants Aneesa to meet her across the street. In an interview, Aneesa says that her roommates are not sharing in her joy, and that she thinks they don't trust Feminem. Gee, I wonder why not? Could it be because she showed up with her ex-girlfriend in your house and did nothing to stop said ex-girlfriend from taunting you about their sex life? Tonya shakes her head and warns Aneesa not to do it. In an interview, Aneesa says that she's going to do what she wants to do, not what her roommates want her to do. Feminem goes on and on and on in the message, begging Aneesa to see her.
Feminem sits in a café alone, waiting for Aneesa. Kyle asks Aneesa what she's going to get out of this meeting. Aneesa says she'll get satisfaction out of seeing Feminem begging and crying. Kyle warns Aneesa to be careful, since she still likes Feminem, because she might get sucked back into the relationship. Aneesa promises that she will be careful. In an interview, Kyle says that Feminem "completely screwed over Aneesa," and that while he does believe in second chances, he doesn't know that Feminem has earned one. In an interview, Aneesa says that this feels like a trap, and that she doesn't want to fall in. So don't go! Call her back and say you can't make it! I really don't see why she's going at all. It's very petty. Not that I'm above being petty, but I try to ration my pettiness, especially when appearing on national television.
Aneesa shows up at the café and sits down with Feminem. They don't speak at first. Aneesa helps herself to some fruit. Feminem confesses that she doesn't know what she's doing. Besides getting some camera time, that is. In an interview, Aneesa tells Feminem to beg on. Feminem says that she's trying to apologize, and Aneesa tells her that apologizing and feeling sorry are two different things. Aneesa says that Feminem disrespected her, and that there are no circumstances that can make it okay. Aneesa angrily goes outside to smoke and let Feminem think about what she wants to say. Alicia Keys starts singing "Fallin'" as Aneesa blows smoke around. Feminem comes out and asks if Aneesa hates her. Aneesa softens and says that she's just upset. Feminem asks for one more chance. Aneesa apparently gives it to her, because thing you know, they're sitting on the curb, and Aneesa relates how her roommates told her not to do this. She asks Feminem to say that she thought about Aneesa ten times a day. Feminem says that, with no sincerity whatsoever. Aneesa is an idiot.
The roommates all go out to a club with Kyle and Djordje, Kyle's college friend. What's up with all the consonants there, Djordje? CJP sits on Djordje's lap. In an interview, CJP says that Djordje is just visiting his sister for the weekend, so she falls for him. They make out on the dance floor.
Once they arrive home -- oh, no they didn't. Oh, HELL no! The evil editors actually used New Orleans David's "Come On Be My Baby Tonight" on the soundtrack! Now that song will be stuck in my head for days! That is just evil. And yet, I'm laughing. Anyway, CJP gets undressed in her bedroom while Djordje sneaks around in the hallway. Oh, he was waiting for her to get her bathing suit on so that they could hang out in the hot tub together. Djordje explains that he's "not frat material." They hold hands in the hot tub and then start making out. Keri and Kyle notice the making out and Keri calls CJP a "little slut." Aneesa arrives home, and Keri tells her to "look at the little slut in the hot tub." CJP sits on Djordje's lap, facing him. The surveillance camera shows time-lapse photos of them in various positions that I don't think I understand. They get out of the hot tub and head to the bedroom. In an interview, CJP says that just before she and Djordje were about to "land the deal," she asked him if they were never going to see each other again, and he told her that they probably wouldn't. And yet she did him anyway. Well, more power to her, I guess. Rumor was that he screwed her in a very uncomfortable place. And, with all apologies to Kevin Smith, I don't mean the back of a Volkswagen. I guess that is too hot for MTV. Although maybe they were trying to send us that message by having the music say that it "feels like the first time" and then showing fireworks exploding.
The morning, CJP and Djordje sleep in bed together. In an interview, CJP says that she's never really spent the night with someone she just met, and that it feels worse than she thought it would. CJP complains to Keri that she's been ditched. Kyle reminds her that Djordje said he wouldn't stay. CJP says that she still felt a little used, and like a slut.
The roommates eat a meal together in a restaurant. Kyle says that it sounds like things went really well with Djordje. CJP asks him if he would have left a note or something that said, "Thanks for a good time." Kyle says that he wouldn't have left in the first place. CJP complains that she was at least expecting a phone number. Kyle defends his friend. Why is CJP complaining? He told her what the story was at the outset. If she didn't like the terms, she could have stopped it right there. She gives women a bad name.
Kyle talks to Djordje on the phone and advises him to call CJP. Djordje sounds like he doesn't really want to. Kyle urges him to do it. Djordje promises to take care of it. I think Kyle only wanted Djordje to call so he wouldn't look like an asshole on national television, and not because Kyle cares about CJP's feelings at all.
Aneesa and Feminem dance at a club. Aneesa voice-overs that she wants to give Feminem another chance. As they leave the club, another car pulls up. One of Aneesa and Feminem's friends starts yelling at the driver for blocking their way and trying to go the wrong way down a one-way street. Feminem starts yelling at the people in the car, and Aneesa tells Feminem to get in the car so that they can leave. Feminem drunkenly hops out and moons the people in the other car, inviting them to kiss her ass. She then lifts up her shirt and flashes the girls in the other car. What an asshole. I don't care if she is drunk. She's acting like an asshole. Aneesa shoves Feminem toward the car and tells her to get in. Words are exchanged. The girls in the other car get out and everyone starts crowding around. Aneesa sighs and rolls her eyes. She tries to get between Feminem and the girls from the other car. Things escalate. Feminem drunkenly slurs her words some more. Glass breaks somewhere. A cop car shows up. Appaerently, the cops restore order. Aneesa complains that Feminem provoked the whole incident, and says that she was about to beat up Feminem herself. Yeah! That would've been awesome. I hate Feminem even more now.
The day, Aneesa calls her mom. She tells her mom that her voice is hoarse because she got in a fight with about five drunk girls the night before. Aneesa's mom asked what happened. Aneesa says that some girls were being bitches. Aneesa's mom tells Aneesa to wait and call back when she has good news, because every phone call has been about something horrible that happened. Way to be supportive there, Mom. In an interview, Aneesa says that talking to her mother makes her upset because her mother doesn't listen. Aneesa asks for clarification on what good news would be. Aneesa's mom says that she has to get back to work. Aneesa asks what is happening to their relationship. Aneesa's mom says that Aneesa needs to look at herself. Aneesa tells her mother to look at herself. Aneesa's mom raised Aneesa to do the right thing. Aneesa thinks that they have two differing opinions about what "the right thing" means. Aneesa's mom says that she has to get back to work. Aneesa hangs up quickly.
Aneesa tells Chris about her almost-fight. Chris shakes his head disapprovingly. In an interview, Aneesa says that Chris hates Feminem. Chris says, "She disrespected you in your own house, and you're letting her get away with it just because she's a good piece of ass. And that she even hurt you on top of that, it's even more pathetic that you're still with her." I just fell in love with Chris. Aneesa says that it's not pathetic, but Chris points out that it's like Aneesa needs the abuse. Aneesa says that she's not going to let herself get hurt. Chris says, "Shame on you, Aneesa." Aneesa asks him to put himself in her place. Chris tells Aneesa that she can do so much better, and then walks over and hugs her.
CJP answers the phone. It's Djordje. She's glad that he called. Djordje says that it was awkward, and that he didn't want to make a production out of it. CJP forgives him, especially since he called. She tells him that it's the first time she's ever had a one-night stand, and that's why it's affecting her so much. Djordje hems and haws, because what do you say to that, really? CJP obviously wants him to tell her that he wants to see her again, and he obviously doesn't want to see her again. She finally lets him off the hook. CJP tells Kyle that Djordje is "such a sweetheart." She told him to come back to Chicago soon. Kyle is happy that CJP is happy.
Aneesa talks to Feminem on the phone. Aneesa says that she doesn't regret meeting Feminem. In an interview, Aneesa says that she sort of agrees with Chris, but that she also thinks that the company you keep reflects on you. Aneesa tells Feminem that she feels like she wasted the last fourteen days, and also Feminem owes her twenty dollars. Feminem says that she heard Aneesa was like that. Aneesa wants to know what that means, and says that Feminem doesn't know her, and that Feminem's friends don't know her. Aneesa adds that all her friends are telling her that Feminem likes the drama and wants to feel like the center of attention. Aneesa concludes, "Well, feel the center of this, bitch," and hangs up. Yeah! Awesome.
week: Justin comes to visit Tonya. Kyle and Keri heat up again. Nicole suggests that she and Kyle break it off. Tonya gets jealous of all of the attention that Justin gets, and her kidneys start acting up. Well, that's my interpretation anyway.
