Landon and Trouble are in the hot tub. MJ brings them each a drink. Melanie, Shavonda, and Sarah totally spy on them. Landon and Trouble start making out and grinding. Shavonda interviews that there are a lot of diseases out there, and that Landon's hookup is totally gross. Landon interviews that it's been a long time for him, so it's nice. Landon and Trouble head for the shower together. MJ runs in and peeks in one of the portholes in the shower to see what's going on and then mouths, "Oh my God!" Landon catches him and yells at him. Shavonda interviews that she's never brought someone home from a club, because she's not like that. Which is fine. Then she goes on to add that she used to like Landon, but now she won't even sleep in his bed anymore, presumably because she finds him so nasty. Shavonda gathers her things from Landon's room and heads for another bed. The editors put in some shots of fireworks going off. Get it? Because there are fireworks going off in the shower? And by fireworks, I mean orgasms. Ew.
And now it's time for the Most Awesome Thing I Saw on TV Last Week. The most awesome thing I saw on TV last week was a film on the Lifetime Movie Network called Touched By Evil. It starred Miss Paula Abdul as a woman who is raped by a creepy guy that broke into her apartment, and the rapist is some sort of serial rapist the police can't catch. And even though this movie was made, like, ten years ago, Miss Paula was looking about fifty years older than she does today, largely due to her unstylish short hair. So anyway, Miss Paula has a hard time getting over her ordeal, especially since the guy is still out there raping people. Eventually, she makes friends with Tracy Nelson (as you do) and gets to know a guy played by Adrian Pasdar. And I don't think there was anyone besides Miss Paula who didn't realize that Adrian Pasdar was the rapist after about two minutes. So Miss Paula gets more and more involved with Adrian, and she also keeps getting prank phone calls where the rapist whispers to her and then plays "Obsession" by Animotion, and since it's Miss Paula, I kind of expected her to bust out some choreography or something, which would have been awesome. So the police keep uncovering all of this circumstantial evidence suggesting that Adrian might be the rapist, but it's nothing that can't be explained away, and yet Miss Paula keeps dating him, even though she thinks he might be the guy who raped her, like, is she so desperate for a man that she can't just dump him and find someone else, whether he was the rapist or not? So then Miss Paula finally decides to have sex with Adrian, and she actually collects a sperm sample (they didn't show how this happened and I don't want to know) and then takes it to the cops to get it DNA-tested to try to match it to the sample taken for her rape kit. But the cops can't do it without a warrant and probable cause, so Paula is supposed to take it to a lab on her own, but then that whole plot point kind of gets dropped. And in the end, Adrian proposes and Paula accepts, even though she totally thinks he's probably her rapist. And then the rapist comes back to Miss Paula's house and they scuffle and Miss Paula grabs his gun (dirty!) and unmasks him, and it's totally Adrian, which was so incredibly disappointing because it was so obvious, and he gets arrested, and Tracy Nelson wears baggy t-shirts and leggings a lot, and it was awesome.
