The Cooke Monster arrived in Las Vegas this week to join the roomies of The Real World and to say that she didn't hit it off with the girls would be quite an understatement. Upon hearing that Dustin and Heather were in a relationship, Cooke was determined to break that up. When Dustin finds out, he feels immediately uncomfortable and hopes to switch rooms. He says he's in "a pickle" but Mike can't figure out why he'd be in a pickle if he's truly devoted to Heather.
Still bitter that Adam left (even though he did it to himself), Nany refuses to make any kind of effort to get to know her new roommate. Naomi feels threatened Cooke, which is weird because she never minded his many Vegas conquests, and joins forces with Nany to form The Mean Girls Club.
Heather decides that perhaps it would be in her best interest to form a friendship with Cooke so she tries to talk to her about a common interest, soccer. Cooke, however, is having no part of her. She wants her man and no part of his girlfriend.
Leroy and Mike decide to take Cooke away from the drama and head out for a night through the historic section of the Vegas strip. They joke and laugh at dinner, then take an exciting zip line ride over the strip. I can feel the bond tightening between them!
The next night at the club, the girls are determined to freeze Cooke out so she hangs with the guys. At one point, she asks Mike where the bathroom is and points at it before heading over there. Naomi decides she was pointing at Heather and flips out.
Back at the apartment, a drunk Nany gets in Leroy's face for protecting and siding with Cooke over her. Naomi wakes up Cooke out of her sleep to yell and get in her face over pointing at Heather (which she didn't do) when really, she's pissed that she's been spending a lot of her time with Leroy. As soon as Dustin throws Naomi down to the bed to get her away from Cooke, Nany starts going off... about what? Can't Heather fight her own battles? If you need her, she'll be hiding by the door and in the hallway.
The next morning, Dustin convinces Cooke that she has to make the first move in order to bring peace to the house and that move should be with Heather. The two talk alone in the kitchen, sort their differences out, and start off with a clean slate. However, Cooke still has her eye on her man and is confident she'll get hands on him soon.
Next week, Heather finds out Dustin's secret... it's gonna get ugly up in Vegas!
