The Real World: Austin - Episode 2: Episode Summary
You'll recall that last week Danny tried to get in a fight with some random ass kids out in the street and ended up getting jacked in the face pretty good. Serves him right, as far as I'm concerned. But now he's all walking around talking about pressing charges and taking the video tape to the police "so that none of the other roommates have to go through this," or some silly bullshit.
Melinda, meanwhile is just looking for a reason to fuck some guy despite the fact that her boyfriend, Jason, gave her a promise ring before she left Wisconsin, or wherever it was. Hopefully, he'll beat the crap out of her as soon as she gets back. When the gang decides to go out for yet another night of drunken foolishness, she decides to stay home with Danny, who's waiting for the swelling to go down before he can have his eye operated on. So they sleep in the bed together and it looks like Danny might have hit it.
So the next morning, a cab arrives to take them to their job already. Didn't they used to wait 2 weeks before they gave them jobs, or did they have to do some tricky editing again to cover up another date rape? So they arrive at this barn and Wes is worried that they might get a job cleaning up shit, but it turns out that they're going to be making a documentary about the South By Southwest Unimportant Music Festival with the famous indie film industry sycophant, John Pierson, which is only kind of like cleaning up shit.
The rest of the episode concerns Melinda trying to figure out how she can weasel her way out of her relationship with her boyfriend back home, because she's already been fucking Danny, but of course she tries to turn it into some kind of woman's empowerment bullshit because she didn't like the way he talked to her on the phone or some shit? So we're supposed to be impressed with the way she "stood up for herself." They aren't broken up for 15 minutes before she's in the bed doing the nasty with Danny. It'll be interesting to see what ends up happening when she realizes Danny doesn't want anything to do with her skanky ass other than sex. She seems like the clingy type.
