The Real World (1992)

Episode Overview

Colin, Teck, and Kaia make their way home from the club, discussing Ruthie's struggles with alcohol. When Amaya and Justin arrive back from the hospital, Amaya confronts Teck, expressing her anger towards the other roommates for abandoning Ruthie in her time of need. Teck values her candor and embraces her. Matt brings Ruthie home, but she has no memory of the events that transpired. As dawn breaks, Ruthie reveals to Matt and Amaya that she’s never experienced anything like this before and suspects her drink was tampered with. Amaya suggests that perhaps she just overindulged. Concern for Ruthie's health looms large, and while Ruthie views the incident as a wake-up call, she insists she won't attend 12-step meetings. She asserts, "I’m not saying I’m quitting anything. I’m just going to moderate from now on."
