Once they are home they tell Mel that they found her hideaway and She begs them not to go back. She states that The Drinker’s Tavern is her escape the place where she can go to get away from the rest of the roommates. When Shavonda and Landon hears this they freak out saying in confessional “You don’t know my last name But you need time away from me??” .Landon believes that Mel just flat out doesn’t like him. Let us leave that little spat for a big and check in with Karamo and Shavonda!

Karamo and Shavonda head out for a little walk and talk. As they walk Karamo tells Shavonda that He entered the experience very excited to get to know her but has not been able to connect with her. After talking they come to the conclusion that there inability to connect is due to there differences in the way the view race. Karamo tells Shavanda that she is the whitest black girl he has met. Shavonda tells him that that is something that she had heard all the time. She goes on to explain that she is aware of her peoples history and all that but that she doesn’t look at people and see color and Karamo admits that he can not look at someone with out seeing color due to the way he was brought up. A little later it seems that Savonda and Karamo are well on there way to getting to know each other better. Now lets get back to the real drama of this episode.

So MJ and Landon head out on the town AGAIN! As they walk the streets of Philly on the quest for the perfect drinking spot Landon tells MJ that the reason he drinks to excess is because he wants to have fun and fully enjoy this experience. MJ thinks that Landon needs to learn when his drinking has gone to far. So the guys do some bar hopping and head back to the house. Outside the house they meet up with Melanie’s friends from The Drinker’s Tavern. Landon in his drunken state throws out some less then kind comments about the people. Mel Jumps in to try and defend her friends and play-fights with Landon but Landon doesn’t see it that way and yells at her to “Step the F*** Down!” and follows that up with calling her a bitch. MJ Pulls Landon in the house and tries to calm him down and all that then invites everyone into the house. Landon Keeps going on and on about fighting Mel’s friends while Melanie brings her friends into the confessional where they talk about fighting with Landon. Mel begs her friends to just leave Landon alone and they all head off to laugh, drink, and play pool. While Mel chills with her friends Landon wanders around the kitchen muttering about Mel’s friends stuffing knifes in his back pocket. Karamo wanders into the kitchen where Landon in his “HUGGABLE” shirt picks up 3 more knifes and informs Karamo that “all these guys who think they are so tough are about to be cut open by three knives”. Eventually MJ figures out that Landon needs someone to talk some sense into him so he pulls Landon into the closet for a little man to man talk. MJ tells Landon that they can not fight these guys and all that eventually Landon calms down and wanders off.
