Riley and Drew giggle over dinner. Drew takes the conversation on a serious route and asks about Riley and Jonah's break-up. He wants to know if Riley's ready to get back out there and play the game like Jonah has with Ella. Riley asks what she's playing for, with a devilish grin. I feel like Austin Powers should be telling her "Oh, behave" because: 1. It's a lame and dated reference, and 2. That's all this scene deserves.
The pool party is underway and it actually looks really fun. Amanda sidles up to the bar and tells the bartender to make every drink a triple. She'll make it worth her while, she says as she hands her a wad of bills. Drew and Riley enter the commotion. Jonah greets them and seems a little bothered that they're together. Riley says she knew there would be a party but she didn't know it would be a blowout. Jonah gives his little speech about giving back to the people who believed in him. Ella walks up with smoking shots in test tubes for everyone. They all take a shot. Ella teases drew about a baby doll he has, asking who he knocked up. Drew not so modestly boasts about them being for the pediatric ward. Riley makes a bitchy comment about giving back and walks off. Jonah seems disturbed by this. I seem indifferent.
David drunkenly finds Lauren up on a balcony overlooking the pool. He starts in right away. "I know why you broke up with me." Lauren tries to cut him off, but he doesn't stop. "Just say it. I grew up in a trailer. I didn't go to a fancy college. I have a rap sheet, not a resume. I'm not good enough for you." Wow. David's quickly becoming quite the sympathetic character. Lauren says that's not why she had to break up with him and cops out behind the excuse he doesn't know who she really is and she's not good enough for him. As she says this, she spots Michael down by the pool, who locks eyes with her. She tells David she can't talk about this anymore and starts to leave. She turns back to say she's sorry.

Lauren descends the courtyard stairs and goes straight to Michael. How does that make sense? Wouldn't David be watching her right now? Just as Lauren gets to Michael, Amanda taps him on the shoulder. He turns to her and Lauren scoots off unnoticed. Amanda asks how he heard about the party. Surely not on Twitter, she jabs. Pssh... Gowalla. Hel-looo. Mike thinks on his feet and says he was in the area and thought to check on Amanda and see how she's doing with the prescriptions he wrote her. All men think quicker on their feet when they're after a hooker. Just then Jane shows up to complain about the noise. Michael turns around and there's a spark between the two. Amanda suggest Jane have a mojito before trying to pull the plug on the party and leaves the two to talk.
