You must pick a contestant every season to have a fling with, he guesses.

She confesses hes her first.

As for the business side of things, Quinn is taking a backseat to what her bosses want.

Its not really me, she says.

I know that its me, but all of the nodding and the smiling its not who I am.

Its likeGame of Thronespuked upSnow White, Quinn mutters to herself bitterly.

Its driving Rachel to the extreme, and shes back to her machinations and manipulations before too long.

Serena, for her part, is having none of the princess/knight schtick.

Madison evidently couldnt get the job done.

Where the hell is Rachel?

Quinn yells to no one in particular.

Rachel ingeniously capitalizes on Serenas irritation by setting her up with August.

After witnessing Quinn scold August for merely speaking to her, it became obvious that something was up.

Serena is reluctant but agrees to a private date with him.

I have to say: Youre not what I thought youd be, Serena says, endeared.

Then August goes a little off script.

Hes talking to you!

she says, stunned, to Quinn.

What are you thinking?

Youre sick, youre drinking…. Shes trying to turn the tables, almost, but Quinn brings her back to reality.

Rachel always does whatever the hell she wants, she announces.

It starts with a couple B-roll interviews; next thing you know, two people are dead.

Its a painful moment, and Rachel bursts into tears, reminding Quinn she begged her to come back.

Quinn opines it was a mistake.

Its at this point that Rachels Essential Honesty tour goes out the window.

Then, she calms the men down.

(I guess the jockey didnt count.)

And he seems to be at the end of his rope before Rachel stops him.

Its here where we see Rachels methods getting reckless again.

You really are as bad as everyone says.

(Honestly: Simons been so suspicious already that telling him dark secrets isprobablynot the best idea.)

(Unless you enjoy hearing Jeremy rail against feminism and women, which, no thanks.)

Better is the showcase junior producer Jay gets this episode.

Anyone who knows Quinn knows that this idea iswaytoo niche for her, but Jay keeps pushing.

He tells Alexei about the idea, whos very into it.

Jays always been an interesting character on the margins, so well see where this goes.

Its a bit jumbled right now, but things are already kicking into gear.

These guys aremadat each other, Quinn says with a devious smile.

Indeed they are: Just before Clarity cuts to credits, Augusts man bun has been literally snipped off.

Oh, the drama.
