UnREAL Season 1 Episode 7 Savior

Rachel is struggling with the aftermath of her impulsive decision to reveal her illness to Jeremy. She had hoped that by sharing her bipolar disorder with him, he might understand her better and accept her for who she is. Instead, he used her vulnerability as a weapon against her, telling everyone in the office and causing her to feel ashamed and exposed. Rachel is desperate to regain control of the situation, so she turns to her old coping mechanism of prescription pills. She knows that it's a slippery slope, but she can't resist the allure of numbing herself to the pain.

Meanwhile, Quinn is dealing with her own set of problems. Her latest power play has backfired, and the network executives are threatening to fire her if she doesn't find a way to make the show more family-friendly. She's also reeling from the revelation that her father is dying, and she's not sure how to process this news. She's always prided herself on her toughness and resilience, but now she's realizing that even she has her breaking point.

In the midst of all this chaos, the crew is preparing for another rose ceremony. This time, the theme is "good vs. evil," and the contestants are divided into two teams. On one side, there are the angels, who are presented as virtuous and pure. On the other side, there are the devils, who are portrayed as temptresses and troublemakers. Rachel is assigned to work with the devil team, which includes Mary, a young woman who has been labeled as the villain of the season.

Rachel is drawn to Mary, despite her reputation. She sees something in her that reminds her of herself, and she feels a sense of kinship with her. Mary is grateful for the attention, and she confides in Rachel about the loneliness she feels as the outcast of the group. Rachel sees an opportunity to connect with Mary on a deeper level, and she suggests that they work together to turn the tide of public opinion.

Quinn is skeptical of Rachel's motives, but she allows her to proceed with the plan. Rachel convinces Mary to tone down her antics and play up her vulnerable side. She coaches her on how to speak candidly about her past struggles with addiction and depression, giving her a humanizing narrative that might win over the audience. Mary is hesitant at first, but she eventually agrees to take the risk.

At the rose ceremony, the angels and devils face off in an epic showdown. Rachel and Mary's plan seems to be working, as Mary's emotional vulnerability resonates with the viewers. However, things take a dark turn when one of the angels accuses Mary of stealing her rose and breaking the rules. The tension between the two sides reaches a fever pitch, and the producers are forced to intervene before things escalate further.

Back at the office, Quinn confronts Rachel about her recklessness. She warns her that if she doesn't get her act together, she'll be fired. Rachel is shaken by Quinn's words, but she's also inspired by Mary's bravery. She realizes that she doesn't have to be a victim of her illness, and that she can use her experience to help others. She resolves to take control of her life, starting with her relationship with Jeremy. She tracks him down and faces him head-on, demanding that he apologize for what he's done. Jeremy tries to defend himself, but Rachel won't hear it. She tells him that she deserves better, and that she's done with him for good.

The episode ends on a hopeful note, as Rachel and Mary walk out of the rose ceremony together, united in their mission to prove that they're more than just the stereotypes that have been placed upon them. They share a moment of camaraderie, and Rachel acknowledges that she's found a true friend in Mary. The future is uncertain, but for now, they're both feeling stronger and more resilient than ever before.
