The X Effect
Ari & Mary
S1 E1:
Special Spring Break Episode! Mary and Ari were a sizzling couple until Mary hooked up with Ari's best friend, Richie. Now, Ari wants to prove to Richie that Mary is still a cheat and can't be trusted…all without losing his new girlfriend, Valerie. Though initially vengeful, Ari confesses at dinner night one that he still fantasizes about Mary, dealing a crushing blow to Valerie, who is spying alongside Richie. Day two finds the O's further bristling as they spy on the X's giving each other extremely thorough body scrubs at the day spa! Clothing flies off again that evening as Mary treats Ari to a full-on striptease, a shocking sight that drives the scorned O's into one another's arms…and beds! In the end, Ari may have proved his point about Mary, but he loses Valerie in the process. Mary is likewise dumped by Richie.
