They are driven to the parade, although Mo’Rum is utterly perplexed at the very notion that several of the roomies want to go watch said parade.  She, on the other hand, will be attending mass.  Naturally.

Captain Needy decides to head to the bar with Ginger and Mo’Rum while the other four roomies go to soberly watch the parade.  Latoya, possibly this season’s Queen of Logic, questions the thought process behind this decision.  Captain Sober instantly looks for support, which Ginger half-heartedly provides. 

Hint: find a rock to lean on that is not drowning in alcohol.

The Sobriety Society has a grand old time dancing at the parade, and Latoya says Captain Needy is missing out.  In his defense, dancing (especially sober) is not exactly his idea of a good time.  Meanwhile, at the bar, he looks on mopily while the Drunk Brigade continue to throw them back.  Eventually he just leaves the bar and the drunkards explain the situation to the bartender.  Captain Needy wanders angstily through the bright afternoon streets of St. Croix.

After some wandering, and a dramatic retelling in the confessional, Captain Needy overcomes his temptation.  Mo’Rum encourages him to get into the spirit despite being bombed, and he cheers up slightly.  Before long, he’s joyfully dancing around, looking possibly the happiest we’ve ever seen him.  Ginger and Mo’Rum get covered in mud and make out a bit.

“Someone put too much soap in the dishwasher!  RUN!!!”

The roomies are now at an honest to goodness foam party, because apparently that is a thing that still exists.  The lovebirds (not the wannabes, the actual ones) sneak away for a drunken chat.  Ginger reiterates his claim that he would not have invited his GBH to visit if he knew what would happen with Mo’Rum.  She apologizes to Emily via confessional for causing Ginger to fall in love with her.

Meanwhile, Grandpa is shooting some pool with Captain Needy while shooting disapproving looks at RomCom, who is having a drunken, barely flirty conversation with two schlubs.  Afterward, he walks away when she drunkenly calls out to him.  “He won’t talk to me,” she pouts, as if she’s being deprived of the sparkling conversation that only he can provide.  She recounts the events for Ginger, who plays Captain Obvious by pointing out that Grandpa has no right to be pissed on account of his GBH.

When they get back to the hotel, Swift tells RomCom not to cry, while RomCom tells us that she doesn’t know how to respond.  How about “don’t bother talking to me until you get the fuck over it?”  Grandpa admits that seeing RomCom with another guy does bother him, because it reminds him that she is capable of doing things besides catering to his every whim.

“I had to get this drink myself.  Harrumph.”

    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?

    I cannot believe this season is happening. It SUCKS SO HARD!

    Not the recaps, thank you VA, you make this all tolerable.

    @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 :)
