The housemates begin their assignment for Frommer's, which is to research local nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, stores and landmarks, then write reviews for travelers their age. A crucial condition of the job is that they will not be paid unless all housemates contribute reviews. Adam spends his time flirting with girls on the street, then later bumps into a girl from high school, and spends some romantic time with her friend. Leah and Adam's contributions are submitted on time while C.T., Ace and Kristina miss their deadline, and Mallory and Simon are given a reprieve due to illness. Only Leah and Adam get the bonus, although all housemates get paid.

Adam spends some romantic time with a Canadian girl he meets in a disco. He sees her again but stresses that seeing her on a regular basis will compromise his freedom.

No Egg-cuses

With seconds to spare, C.T. turns in his portion of the Frommer's assignment on time. However, Leah learns from Bryce that only five "Finds" were included with the assignment (10 Tips and 10 Finds were required).

Adam asks Lamyae to stay overnight in his room, but she leaves when Adam confesses about his night with Ashley. The housemates invite Bryce and David over for dinner, for which the girls are excited to prepare a big feast. C.T. blunders by inviting Lamyae and her friend to attend the dinner, creating an awkward moment when Adam has to tell her on the phone there isn't enough food for two more people. The next night Lamyae and her friend visit the house, but Adam retires to his room, wounded when Lamyae remarks that he follows Ace around like a dog."

Exes and Oohs

Leah admits to not visiting the chateau, but states on camera that she researched and wrote her review. Ace, Adam, Christina and Leah enjoy a nude dip in the hot tub. Everyone but C.T. heads out for a last night on the town.

Au Revoir, Paris (Part 1)

What do you get when you combine an argument over who ate who's pizza and a super-sized order of sappiness unleashed at a fondue restaurant? Why, you get the season finale of Real World Paris.

All-American Ace sums up his experience in Paris by packing his things in a box that reads: ""Going back to Normalville."" Felling a little sappier, Christina writes ""Bye Bye Paris"" and includes a frown face to get her sentiment across. Once the packing is done, CT and Ace hit the hot tub and talk about how they miss gas stations and how great it will be when they don't have to see anymore croissants and girls who don't speak English. Ace is looking forward to southern belles, Georgia peaches, waffles and bacon--not necessarily in that order.

Leah coos over pictures of her and Giuseppe. She says she does not expect much from their relationship since she lives in NY and he resides in Italy, but it was a very romantic and fun time that she'll never forget.
