Las Vegas: Opening Up (12x13)

: 03, 2002

In an attempt to help the roomies work together better, their boss, Mark, sends them to an all-day team-building workshop with the overly perky, ""Awesome Ann."" Forced together for a whole day of old-fashioned bonding and some self-improvement techniques--the roommates end up with more than they bargained for. Throughout this day of learning, Arissa begins to open up. She learns to trust others and herself. ""I am headed on a road of self-discovery, ready to trust,"" she says. Having fought just a few hours earlier, Steven and Arissa end the night with a hug and an agreement to help each other and be friends.
