CT has an unexpected defense attorney in Matt who tells Leah that CT has been nothing but nice and he doesn't understand why she would say such a thing. By the end of the evening, even this guy Matt is embarrassed by her actions. Growing more and more pissed at Leah, Mallory thinks her comments about CT were ""completely out of line."" Christina has been avoiding being in Leah's presence because she is so loud. And Simon thinks Leah doesn't care about what other people think.

CT is on the s-t list again. Simon tells his roommates about how CT put him into a headlock while they were taking a picture. It wasn't a friendly, brotherly headlock, it actually hurt. Adam said CT was clearly aggressive and going after Simon, but thought Simon had himself handled because he walked away from the situation after telling CT to screw off. That wasn't good enough, though, because Simon wondered why Adam or Ace didn't back him up and tell CT to stop being such an idiot. Leah makes it known that she would have stepped in and said something to CT if she was there. Suddenly, the conversation turns to the incident in Switzerland where Mallory brings up the fact that people in the house have a problem with Leah. Apparently, Leah hasn't been able to let go of this, so she storms out at the room. Mallory tells Simon she is pissed that Leah can't let anything go, so Mallory speaks with Leah in the bathroom and asks why she brought up the incident in Switzerland again.

What do you get when you combine an argument over who ate who's pizza and a super-sized order of sappiness unleashed at a fondue restaurant? Why, you get the season finale of Real World Paris. All-American Ace sums up his experience in Paris by packing his things in a box that reads: ""Going back to Normalville."" Felling a little sappier, Christina writes ""Bye Bye Paris"" and includes a frown face to get her sentiment across. Once the packing is done, CT and Ace hit the hot tub and talk about how they miss gas stations and how great it will be when they don't have to see anymore croissants and girls who don't speak English. Ace is looking forward to southern belles, Georgia peaches, waffles and bacon--not necessarily in that order. Leah coos over pictures of her and Giuseppe. She says she does not expect much from their relationship since she lives in NY and he resides in Italy, but it was a very romantic and fun time that she'll never forget.

Ace confides in Leah about Christina's issues with him and admits that sometimes the only person he thinks of is himself.

This athletic girl gave up a soccer scholarship to do something spontaneous, like say, for instance…live in Paris for five months. Next we encounter CT who is from a suburb of Boston. Mallory's initial impression of CT is that he seems little bit full of himself. The two greet and then attempt to find the Paris trains. Mallory looks embarrassed as CT brazenly approaches many people asking directions to the Paris trains. The duo finally finds the train to the Le Vesinet neighborhood, where their chateau is located. On the train Mallory talks about visiting the Louvre, while CT uses the ride as an opportunity to hit on her. First to arrive, CT and Mallory bound up the steps of the chateau and they explore the ma
