The girls head to get haired, made up, and outfitted, and I am sorry to tell you that it appears they'll be wearing American Apparel bathing suits. While Liz tries to practice her lines and her kiss on Chris, Kayla starts to tear up. She tells us that she couldn't get the kiss out of her head, and it's deeper to her than being gay - she feels personally uncomfortable with intimacy with men. Jay sees Kayla's distress and pulls her aside for a little talk. He asks if she's cool with this, and she shakes her head no. Jay asks why it bothers her, and Kayla drops the bomb that she was sexually assaulted when she was eleven years old and this whole challenge freaks her out. She cries harder as she says that she doesn't want to kiss men or interact with men, because they scare her. As she says, "I really don't want to do it," we cut to commercials.

When we return, Kayla tells us that the idea of kissing a man freaked her out and gave her a memory flashback. The poor thing. I would like to change my earlier statement and give the approximately 6,500 therapy co-pays to Kayla. When "I was molested for a year and a half" is thrown into the mix, "I'm tall" becomes a bit less compelling. Jay offers some empathetic words to Kayla, and keeps a respectful distance while he does so. I actually think he's trying to keep it kind yet professional rather than simply shitting his pants over what to say, but I could be wrong. Kayla says that if she was offered a job where she had to really go at it with a guy, she'd probably refuse it. She's never talked to anyone about this, including her mom, until now. Oh, yikes. I wish that wasn't true, for so many reasons. Kayla says that, given that neither her family nor any of her friends know this, it was pretty hard to just blurt it out to an orange man on Venice Beach twenty minutes before she had to roller skate with fake water in her hand.
