As they leave the meeting, Swift compliments Captain Needy on his six months of sobriety and makes a big deal about the chip he earned.  It’s actually pretty nice of him to be so supportive, and clearly what the captain needs.  More of this Swift, less of him stutter-yelling about gibberish, please. 

Back at the house, Grandpa is chasing RomCom around begging to zap her with the mosquito zapper.  Apparently this is where she draws the line, because she’s actually running AWAY from him for once.  Either that or she’s trying to play hard to get.

Mo’Rum and Latoya congratulate Captain Needy on earning his six-months-clean chip, and Latoya at least seems very sincere about it, asking to see his chip like Swift did.  Captain says he needs to go from drug-free to drug-and-alcohol-free, and says he should have given up the alcohol before the blow.  No, starting with the blow was probably the way to go dude.

 

Pro Tip for Needy:  Drink only from sealed bottles, or have Latoya approve them first.  Something tells me Mo’Rum put rum in every drink she could find.

Latoya continues offering support while Mo’Rum requests that he carry her wasted ass home from their St. Paddy’s Day celebration coming up on Saturday.  They will be going to St. Croix for the festivities, and Mo’Rum generously offers to drink Captain Needy’s share of the alcohol.  He acknowledges the unfortunate timing of his decision to get sober, but Latoya thinks if he can get through that, he’ll be fine after that.

Sidebar:  I don’t get the sense that Latoya refuses to drink any alcohol whatsoever, I just think that she doesn’t like the taste and/or doesn’t like being drunk.  So she took the shot of rum at the airport to be a good sport, but she clearly didn’t like it.  I guess she’s the rare bird who just plain doesn’t like/need it.  She clearly knows how to have fun though, so she gets my respect.

Ginger tells Swift about his love for Mo’Rum (the person, not the drink… for now, at least) and adds that he probably shouldn’t have told his GBH to come visit so quickly. 

 

It’s okay, Red.  Premature visitation is a common problem among people your age.

Turns out, he doesn’t really want her to come visit at all, especially since she hooked up with someone else.  He knows Mo’Rum is going to push him away so she doesn’t get hurt, but Ginger would rather get hurt himself because she’s just such a special snowflake.  Kid keeps falling harder every week. 

You. Guys.  Ginger and Mo’Rum are sitting down, having an actual conversation about these issues.  It’s like they’re real adults or something!  This is weird.  It can’t possibly end well, right?  Anyway, Ginger tells Mo’Rum that he likes her, which everyone including her already knows.  She’s worried about Emily’s visit and doesn’t expect to enjoy that little hiccup, afraid they’ve set themselves up for failure, but Ginger tries to declare that visit “tentative.”

    Grandpa has strong feelings for Chelsea so he won’t discuss her situation on a reality show, but he won’t leave said reality show to support her in this situation he got her into.

    Plus, he’s going to continue hooking up with another girl.

    Because, you know, if you wax poetic about something, it doesn’t matter if your actions indicate otherwise. Strong feelings indeed, scumbag.

    Well, I should say “situation he had a key part in getting her into”. Cause, you know, I’m aware it takes two to tango.

    Grandpa is such a hypocrite! I couldn’t believe he got mad at RomCom for talking to those guys, when he IMPREGNATED his girl back home and is still in a relationship with her. Good lord, RomCom just looks pathetic staying with him.

    So, I have to wonder…does Max live on an island nearby or something? Or was he actually willing to pick and up and fly from somewhere in the US to spend the week with a random girl he spent one night with while on vacation?

    @jerseyj: When MTV calls Max and offers him another chance to be on TV with an all expense-paid trip to St. Thomas where there is a girl who will more than likely have revenge sex with him… Yes, I believe Max would fly from one of Jupiter’s icy moons for that opportunity.

    Trey is suuuucccchhh a douche bag, Im watching the new episode now. And did anyone pick up the three month comment he said to the girl back home? It seems like they are not going to go through w the pregnancy, in which case I feel really bad for the girl having to air her private business on national tv. If I was her I would’ve wrote him a letter or something, not talked on a tapped phone.

    @Catherine-
    The girl does know that all of her phone calls are being recorded and could be aired. She has to sign a release before even being allowed to have phone conversations with a cast member. Sooo, yeah, it sucks for her, but it’s not as though she wasn’t aware there was a possibility that this bombshell could be a story line.

    I hear ya but it seems like they were trying to be vague enough to keep it quiet y’know? They were clearly aware that it could be aired so tried to keep it as un- suspicious as possible. I’m fascinated by the story line but it didn’t come into play what so ever in last nights ep. Just treys hypocritical douche baggery.

    Chelsea shows up later in the season. She can’t be that upset.

    @NotwithoutmyTV, is that true that MTV pays for these trips when people come to visit? I assumed they footed the bill for the flight themselves. I didn’t even think MTV payed for their bar tabs. Why wouldn’t Ginge just tell his girl back home not to come if she wouldnt’ be losing any money?

    @catherine, I think he definitely didn’t want her to go through with the pregnancy, that’s why he said they couldn’t wait 3 months to talk about it (more douchie-ness on his part). Who knows what she wants?

    @ gypsy- bahahahah.
    To my knowledge, MTV doesn’t pay for guest visits. I don’t know on that for certain, but I believe you foot your own bill for your 15 seconds of fame if you’re not a cast member :)
