The Real World

Relationship Rumblings (8x7)

Air date: Jul 20, 1999

Colin's incessant teasing is starting to get a little old for Amaya. ""Sometimes I just want to smack him,"" she says. When Teck brings a scantily dressed woman back to the house, eyebrows and questions are raised. ""Is that a prostitute?"" Amaya boldly asks. Matt snickers in disbelief. Meanwhile, Colin admits he's ready for love but fears he'll never have it. Teck doesn't think he'll ever get tied down, but his soft side comes out when he meets Andrea, a strong, charismatic woman from California. Knowing his visiting father would wholeheartedly approve, Teck makes sure to introduce them. Colin is at a loss for words when Amaya asks him to be nicer to her. He agrees to do so, but when Amaya also wants him to show his sweet side to the others, Colin admits he can't open up to just anyone. Andrea kisses Teck goodbye as she heads back to the mainland. Could Andrea be the one to tame Teck's wild side? Sitting alone on the seawall, Colin realizes he pushes people away to avoid getting hurt.
