Chet, meanwhile, is scrambling to sabotage his former lover.
He cant figure out Quinns computer password and cant do much without her around.
So he heads to Fionas to venture to bring her back to campus.

Quinn and Chet arent the only ones distracted.
This leads Simon whos still spying on her to intervene.
He calms her down, but later, Rachel realizes she needs to talk to her mom.
Unfortunately, Madison quickly receives conflicting information.
Chet, in typically idiotic fashion, decides he needs to blow up the show to get Quinns attention.
She takes the advice to heart.
This goal of the day comes on a particularly consequential date night for Serena.
Trust me: Until you deal with your past, youre stuck, Rachel assures her.
(Rachel knows a thing or two about such things.)
Serena tells the story, and the contestants comfort her but its clear shes not fully over it.
Madison, upon learning of this, seizes on that detail.
The senior producers dealing with their own personal dramas have no idea whats coming.
Its the home Chet once designed for her, only built for one.
Youre so much better than all my bullsh, so much better without me, Chet says to her.
Quinn cracks back, Are you having a stroke?
Rachel, meanwhile, goes to confront her mother.
They have another go-nowhere conversation, a passive-aggressive debate that devolves into nasty insults and screams.
But Rachel leaves content this time.
She says shes never going back.
And she smiles shes taken a step forward, however difficult.
He storms into the selection ceremony and decides to tell the contestants what really happened.
He says he and Serena only knew each other a few months they werent close to engaged.
He says she made him introduce her as his girlfriend when it wasnt the case.
He says he had to get a restraining order when she wouldnt leave him alone.
Hes essentially gaslighting her, and its ugly to watch.
The men look on, confused and uncomfortable, but Serena is broken.
I was not crazy, she insists through tears.
I just wanted you to return my phone call.
Rachel apologizes to Serena for not protecting her from such insanity, and insists that shes not pathetic.
Quinn follows Rachel in and piles on the praise.
Screw every other man who wants us all to be perfect little princesses, Quinn says proudly.
That bozo had no right to treat you like a deranged freak.
Serena isnt cheered up, exactly, but is convinced to stay.
So begins the fallout.
First theres Jay and Alexei, the latter still in pain over the Natalia reminder.
(Shes kind of a mess, no?)
In an explosive scene, Rachel pulls Jasper aside for an on-camera interview.
She uncovers his history with women, his inability to get too close and the reasons why.
She pushes so far, digging so deep, that she gets him to cry.
I am exactly who I want to be, he says, most unconvincingly.
I am not alone.
We do crazy things when were in love, he says.
You have a giant heart and nobody can blame you for that.
Jay gets his revenge, and Serena keeps her three strongest prospects.
This has all the makings of a greatUnREALepisode, as each of the conflicts converge.
Serena cuts Alexei abruptly, leaving him screaming into the camera.
She then goes to find August, having passionate sex with him once more.
(One things for sure: They have crazy chemistry.)
Most fascinating is where we leave Quinn and Chet.
At long last, Chet gets her into her office.
He admits he made a mistake, but that he could never go through with Garys scheme.
This is an opportunity, Quinn gushes.
