The Real World: Austin - Episode 7: Episode Summary
Tonight ended up being a very special episode of the Real World Austin. I'm actually surprised they didn't bring out Dr. Drew Pinsky to deliver a little disclaimer before it began. His contract with the network must be up. Between this and Nate Fisher buying the farm on "Six Feet Under," this is one of the biggest weeks of TV for me on a personal level since Montana got fired from her job for taking a bunch of 8-year-olds wine tasting.
My old school '97 heads know what I'm talking about!
It's Valentines day in Austin. Danny is taking Melinda out to some fancy resturant, lest she stop throwing all that free and easy tang at him - a move that I'm sure is just going to have the effect of leading her on that much further. Meanwhile, Rachel's boyfriend - the one who once sent her a box of melted ice cream - is sending her all kinds of shit, considering she was like "this close" to dropping him like a bad habit when she thought she might make it with that tall kid.
Melinda gets dressed in the ultimate hooker outfit (and when I say ultimate, I mean ultimate) to go out, because she's "never been in a situation in which she was treated like this before." Danny, because he didn't bring a tie from home, spends the day out shopping with Necromancer. While he's out, his old man leaves a couple of urgent-sounding messages on the phone. Hmm... I wonder if this has anything to do with his mom with the drug problem.
Surprise, it does. She's dead now. Has been since this morning.
As an aside, you just know MTV has been aware of this all day and was just waiting for him to get back to the house so that they could get this shit on tape. On the one hand, that's some pretty sleazy shit, but on the other hand, I'm kind of impressed and pleased on a certain level that they would go that far for my own personal amusement.
Him and Nehemiah, who may or may not have been pursuing his own interests, hug it out for like 3 straight minutes. Wes knows what it's like because two years ago, one of his best buds died in a car accident. It must've been heavy times at the frat house. Negroponte busts out a bible and starts praying over the bed. Melinda, not unlike in the situation with the eye thing, makes it a point to inject herself at any and every given opportunity.
Next Week: Danny goes home for the funeral and might not be coming back. Melinda is just crushed!
