It now time to deal with the aftermath of the Olympic trials, as the crew is now stuck in between being happy for Sky for qualifying or consoling Jazz for not making it.
Upon returning to the house the Vivek greets the twins the most on-brand way for his character addressing each situation while hugging them and also give Doug an awkward bro-hug for the airport pick up. When Jazz was asked how she was feeling she just replied with a very somber “I’m Good,” but Sky did not believe that Jazz isn’t emotional about not accomplishing a dream the two had since childhood.
As for the B-story for the show Zoey wrestles with the status of her relationship with Aaron. After telling Aaron she’s in love with him and kissing him, the two got really intimate and consummated their relationship. However, what Zoey believes to be the making a connection that will solidify the relationship, but reality set in after Ana spells it out for Zoey that she has taken the position on Aaron’s sidechick. Zoey, in contrast, was all too comfortable hanging on to her denial, even going so far as to declares that Aaron was going to kick Rochelle to the curb to be with her. When she see Aaron and Rochelle walking around campus hand in hand, as if what happened between him and Zoey never happened Zoey finally realizes what Ana said is true.
Vivek checking in on how Jazz is doing after the trails
Sky is overwhelmingly suspicious of Jazz’s bubbly demeanor, that she needs to confront her about the matter. Jazz opens up about the devastation of the loss. While she’s immensely proud for her sister, it will always hurt and seem like a waste of thirteen years.
Aaron and Zoey met up later to talk about their relationship and her status as his side piece, Aaron insist she wasn’t a side piece. Aaron instead described Zoey as “the girl who floats in and out of my life whenever she wants, and just kind of screws with my head.” Hurt by his frankness, Zoey curtly corrected Aaron and told him that she actually quit her styling job with Joey Badass and is going to re-enroll in school.
The two parted ways, and the next morning Zoey received a DM from Rochelle saying she wanted to “talk about Aaron.” The girls at the house is confident that Rochelle’s wording means she’s ready to fight advising Zoey to pull up with her hair pulled back, no earrings, and Timberland boots. Their conversation also revealed that Ana believes her boyfriend is cheating on her, after his suspicious behavior lead to Ana checking his phone and finding a text from “somebody” on his phone.
So Zoey dons her toughest Timberland boots and is ready to go at it. However, Rochelle’s Birkenstocks and summer dress seem to suggest that she just wants to talk. To Zoey’s surprise, she receives an apology. Rochelle regrets asking Zoey to step away from Aaron and has felt conflicted ever since. She suggests they become a friend trio.
