Pledge house. Nicole is on the phone with Tim, telling him that all the sisters keep telling her to be "careful" with Tim, and she keeps wondering, "Why?" Uh, because he doesn't even like you and everyone can see that but yourself. Nicole tells us if she had to pick between Tim and the house, she'd pick Tim. So now Tim, in a perfect asshole move, asks, "What do you want out of this?" Nicole refuses to answer until he does. Tim finally says, "I don't want to be in a serious relationship right now, I can tell you that much." Ooooooh! Damn! Nicole again reacts as if slapped; she grabs her forehead and makes this funny noise. Hee. I shouldn't laugh, or rewind it over and over to watch and giggle, but I can't help it. Tim goes on about how he has his plate full and doesn't want a serious relationship. She tries to get him to not rule anything out. He appeases her a bit, saying that he's not going to decide his future right now, and adds, fucking himself by giving her a bit of hope, "It might change. You never know." Tim says he's glad they got that out on the table, and he has to go. They hang up. "That wasn't a very fun conversation," Nicole says, getting up. Nicole then camera-talks about how she's put herself in yet another bad situation; she likes Tim and she's bummed to think it might not work. During this, we get a montage of all the great times they had together: like when they had dinner that one time…and that other time when they walked to the car after dinner.

Nicole lies in bed now, headphones on, crying. Aw. Hee. Aw.

On the next. The sisters. The pledges. Spike says that if the girls don't do certain things they ask of them, they're not going to get initiated. Talia and MamaStacey are mad that Julia broke curfew. Julia does the walk of shame home, her bra conspicuously missing. The sisters babble, and Nikki says, "I don't think she's doing the work. Cut her loose." And that's it! Fucking finally. That episode had no right taking so long to recount. God. Bye!
