Boys Before Friends Episode 4

After the "Previously on Boys Before Friends ..." that lasts a whopping seven minutes, everyone regrets kissing who they kissed. Well no, Liam regrets nothing. The girls go back to the beach house where they completely fail the Bechdel test.
 
The next day everyone is sitting outside drinking coffee and trying to talk over the sound of the high winds. Chase tells a scary story. "And they fired the two lead actors of the series!" This goes on for about another seven minutes.
 
The head prostitute organizes a house game of girls vs. boys. Chase talks to Chloe about Noah. Chloe talks to Chase about Piper. Noah talks to Piper about Chloe. Piper talks to Noah about Chloe. Weren't they supposed to be playing a game?
 
To give the Show credit, Zoey #2 and Liam have a conversation that I can believe two people on a date would actually have. They learn about each other's dreams and goals. (Although it is pointed out Zoey #2 says she would like to teach underprivileged kids to dance, then in another line says she doesn't think she can teach kids.)
 
A new song is introduced on the show. The song is more important than hearing what the actors are saying. Seriously, you get to hear the entire song.
 
Chase comforts a weeping Piper. Her boyfriend just gave her the brush-off. Piper unloads her woes upon Chase's wide shoulders.
 
Sensitive Oliver comes to Zoey #2 to talk about the unseen Jade and whether or not he should go with his girlfriend to New York. Zoey #2 advises Oliver to go and give it a try. They share a platonic hug that makes a spying Liam jealous. After Oliver leaves, Liam accuses Zoey of being a tease.
 
The next day Liam apologizes to Zoey and asks if she'll go out with him.
