Meet the new roommates - Alton, Arissa, Brynn, Frank, Irulan, Steven and Trishelle - all picked to live on the 28th floor of the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas.
The allure of Steven snares yet another cast member when Arissa is pulled into his web. Missing her boyfriend, Dario, she tries to convince him they could have a little fun.
Frank gets in trouble when he jokingly refers to Arissa as the 'bitchy black girl in the house,' which precipitates a fight between Arissa, Alton and Frank in the elevator.
The house gets heavy as Arissa confronts Trishelle about her eating habits, and Irulan decides to take her relationship with Alton to a more sexual level.
After a disastrous work experience, Steven and Arissa have a nasty fight that prompts the group to go into a touch-feely 'group therapy/trust session.'
Trishelle is coerced into taking a pregnancy test, but not before Steven announces that he'll step into the parenting role and accept the child as his own.
Trishelle and Irulan both decide it's time to deal with some unfinished business once and for all - namely, figuring out where her relationship with Steven stands (for Trishelle) and what's going on with out-of-town boyfriend, Gabe (for Irulan).
In one of those THE REAL WORLD is a SMALL WORLD stories, Irulan's best friend comes to visit and announces that Arissa's ex-boyfriend Dario got her former suitemate pregnant.
