Everyone seems to be enjoying Puck's absence and the chemistry among the cast has drastically improved. Pedro goes home with Rachel to Phoenix and visits her very religious family. While there, Pedro gives another educational seminar on having HIV at the junior high where Rachel's father works. After looking at the pictures Rachel brings home, her mother is not happy with her actions in San Francisco, namely the piercing of her belly button. It is also Pam's birthday and her boyfriend Christopher flies in to surprise her. Christopher stays hidden until the rest of the cast performs a "This is your life Pam" skit and Christopher shows up at the very end. They all celebrate her birthday by skiing in Tahoe.

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.
