The trailer of doom — Shane stops by Veronica's swanky trailer. Veronica swears a lot (you rock, Camryn) and then says a mean thing:

Veronica: "What are you dressed like? Are you the poster child for the undernourished and gender-confused?"
Shane: "Yeah, if you say so."

It turns out Veronica's not just being truculent for the hell of it: she's sorta trying to make an impression on Shane, because Shane made quite an impression on her. She says Shane knows how to talk to people, and should do it all the time, as her assistant. Shane is not sure what to say, so Veronica asks if she knows how many people in town would pierce their left nipple to get the job. Shane just shakes her head. Wouldn't it have been cooler if she'd lifted up her shirt to reveal an already-pierced left nipple? Sigh.

Roomate hell, continued again — Jenny is chatting with a sweet, quiet woman named Sally. Sally seems okay until Shane walks in, and then it takes Sally about 15 seconds to whip out a brochure for one of those "ex-gay" religious groups.

Shane: "Thanks for comin' by, Sally. [Pointing to the door] It's that way. I'll show it to you."

Nicely done, Shane. Perfect. But as soon as Sally leaves, there's another knock at the door. This time it's a guy with a videocamera.

This guy, Mark, is a direct-to-video filmmaker (think "Girls Gone Wild"), and Jenny and Shane both sort of hate him right away, because he's one of those fakely sensitive artsy guys who are actually assholes. But he and Jenny bond over Grey Gardens — what a bizarre film that is. I'm so not surprised that Jenny's seen it. Actually, I'm surprised she wasn't in it. Anyway, Jenny and Shane decide to give Mark a chance when he says he can pay first, last, security, and six months' worth of rent, all up front in cash. Let's see: counting Mark and The Nauseator, there are now two people on this show whom I hate more than Jenny. We already know about the "male gaze" — do they really have to explore it by making it a fucking character?
