The City - "The Past Catches Up"

Courtesy MTV.com

This week on The City, the entire cast decides to go on vacation and spend a week in Miami, except for Allie who is stuck back in New York doing a photo shoot. I hope Adam takes advantage. This episode, which revolved solely around Whitney/Jay and Adam/Allie drama, can be summarized in exactly three quotes. Let’s take a look.

1. “There’s a lot of temptations lurking around the corner.”

- Jay to Adam, by the pool in Miami

The first temptation lurking around the corner that we see are several half-naked women in bikinis. And thanks MTV for the two seconds of nudity on screen…scandalous!

Jay’s temptation lurking around the corner happens to be his ex-girlfriend, Danielle, the same girl from the pilot episode who Jay was rumored to have cheated on Whitney with. Danielle lives in Miami and she just happens to be at the same party as Whitney and Jay while they’re visiting Miami. When Jay approaches “Dani” we find out that she is completely single and then out of nowhere they both start apologizing to each other for going home together the night she visited him in New York. This just confirms the fact that we knew Jay couldn’t be trusted from the start!

Meanwhile, Adam wins the “booby award,” which according to Erin, who is spying on Adam for Allie, consists of 15 girls rubbing their breasts against him at the club in Miami. Like Erin is one to judge…is she single or is she dating two guys at once?

Back in New York, Allie is facing a temptation of her own. Allie’s photo shoot turns out to be super awkward because it consists of her taking pictures with a guy who is biting her shoulder. Is that supposed to be sexy? Once it’s over, the hot male model she was posing with asks her to grab a few drinks. And after hearing what Erin says about Adam, Allie agrees to the “date.” Yes! I‘m so excited that Allie finally gets to participate in all the cheating and deception that goes on in this show!

2. “I’m starting to get really sick…this conversation is making me nauseous.”

Don’t worry Whitney. Jay makes me nauseous too. Enough said.

3. “There’s ALWAYS something with Jay.”

In the last scene of the episode, we see Whitney in a clothing store talking to this random girl. Who is she and why does she have a gigantic gap between her two front teeth? She turns out to be Jay’s old roommate who reveals that when she was living with him, she found out that he’s definitely got a temper and he always happens to tell little lies: “you never know the truth with him.”

And where is Olivia this whole time?!?! The episode is very disappointing without her.
