Kevin and Eric go outside to discuss their issues. The argument dies down as the two talk about stereotypes and their inherent differences. They shake hands.
Kevin takes Morris, a teenage boy he is mentoring, to dinner and an art exhibit and talks to Morris about having a commitment to help others. Eric is also doing some community service as a probation requirement: He works in a basketball program for troubled kids. But he's got other things on his mind as he anxiously awaits Missy's arrival at the loft.
Kevin and Eric become closer as they discuss Missy and Eric's relationship with her. Eric then cements the deal when he invites Kevin to a Knicks game, where the two meet Isaiah Thomas. Kevin gets a chance to peek into Eric's private life as he watches him interact with his dad, an NBA referee.

The Real World Show Summary

The Real World is a reality show that has aired on MTV since 1992. Like the intro says, seven or eight different strangers are picked among hundreds of thousands of people who auditioned, and are put together to live in a house for several weeks, and are video-taped throughout the entire process. The cameras follow, as friendships, relationships, and sometimes even enemies are made, along with lifelong memories and the unforgettable journey they each go through.
