Faith, infidelity and freaks are where it's at this episode. Silver finds some of the latter after Teddy tests her beyond reason, IMO. Silver begins the episode doing penance for her little spy game last week. Teddy gives her another chance but seizes the opportunity to push her buttons when a girl from his past shows up for a wild night. Silver wonders why he would work so hard to get her and then throw it away over a mistake (that it's only by luck on his part he didn't make first, I might mention). Teddy realizes it was actually himself he was testing, because he fears he will end up like his philandering actor father. Silver trusts that he won't, and they decide to make a go of it. For real this time.

Speaking of philandering fathers, Liam sees his stepdad steppin' out on his mom. He confronts the old letch in front of his mother, and it barely makes a dent. He decamps to Naomi's house, and they seem pretty comfortable in their domestic bliss for the mo'. But it won't last long as Naomi has started the wheels spinning on what is perhaps the stupidest story arc in show history -- and there are many to choose from. Basically she's a massive hag to the new Blaze adviser. Having none of it, he shows her the door. As Naomi is both A.) unused to being told 'no' and B.) very accustomed to scheming, she fibs that he sexually harassed her. She manages to stage a union rally (I know, don't get me started) that achieves her reinstatement and renders her earlier lie unnecessary, but it's too late. The lie has gotten traction, and the only way she's going to wriggle out of it is to tell the truth or ruin a man's life. I wouldn't put it past her to choose the latter.

Dixon's bio-mom Dana is still in town. March Madness, and the online gambling winnings it's providing, are bringing them closer together. Debbie continues feeling threatened by their rekindled bond and under-appreciated by oblivious Harry. Things hit a bump when Dana reminds Dixon that she is a real person with a real job and has to go home. But what would seem to benefit Debbie actually bites her in the ass because Dixon ditches Dana on their last mother-son bonding outing, and Dana catches a glimpse of Debbie having her own boning... er... I mean bonding outing with her sexy yoga instructor. When SexYoga guy misreads Debbie's signals (or does he?) and leans in for a kiss, Dana gets an eyeful. Debbie tries to explain later that she didn't reciprocate, but there's a time bomb a-tickin' in there somewhere. And yet another with the huge wad of bills Dana leaves Dixon with, which will inevitably plunge him into the unseemly world of online gambling, knowing that dummy.

And how could I dare talk about ticking time bombs without mentioning Jasper? It seems his clock is finally hitting zero (fingers crossed!). Annie shakes him off her leg for the last time. But where does he fall? We'll have to wait for next week on that one, because the last shot shows Jasper very literally staring into the abyss after telling Annie that life without her isn't worth living. Oh, how I wish the show would give me the chance to come to that conclusion!

And, saving the vest for last, let's talk about RuWill. AAdrianna has a mini-freakout after the flame-haired lesbian's eleventh-hour confession last week and spends a little while avoiding her until she realizes she has no real friends. RuWill's attempt to put the crush behind them only serves to pique AAdrianna's interest. Titillated by Clark Gable's lady face and her innocent hands-touching-in-the-popcorn during one of their movie dates, AAdrianna decides she may just be up for a little lady lovin'. With the support of Naomi and Silver, who are honestly probably just urging her because they're bored, she plants one somewhere north of the infamous chin. It's not an unpleasant sensation, so the girls decide to start dating. Reader, Gaydrianna; Gaydrianna, readers. You've been formally introduced.
