Is that going to be called Ep.2 (?). Anyway, Lolly was kind enough to write me a mini summary as I missed the episode and some others have asked to read it too. So... here it is, take it away, Lolly!

The show begins with the issue of nominations and who thinks whom is vulnerable. Marcellas, Josh, Lori and Amy (somewhat) seem to be the most likely candidates. Marcellas apparently is the majority's choice candidate, but Marcellas has hope that he won't be nominated because he hasn't been unpleasant to Lisa. Josh is worried that he might be nominated because he doesn't trust Lisa, so he campaigns for Lori's nomination (Lori was the one who eliminated him in the HOH competition). And of course, Josh pushes obnoxiously hard for it and is obviously manipulative, which irritates the hell out of Lisa. Then Josh decides that he needs to "prepare" Lori beforehand, so he tells Lori about the six-people alliance's decision to boot Marcellas and that she shouldn't worry. He swears on his Jewish faith, his girlfriend, and his dog R2 that Marcellas is the target. Of course, Lori questions the "alliance" and who exactly decided to nominate her, but Josh fumbles around with an eva!
sive "I dunno" reply. Later, Gerry gets worried about Josh's conversation with Lori (afraid that Josh revealed too much), so he rendevous with Josh in the supply room, which is next to the HOH room. Consequently, Lisa was able to eavesdrop and she hears Josh tell Gerry that the real alliance is between them and Eric, which pisses her off. She says that Josh is a snake, but she has some venom of her own and he should beware.

Action summary: They have a swimsuit competition to earn the privelege of using the hot tub. The gals have on identical two-piece suits, the guys have identical tank tops and boxers, except the colors alternate blue and red (some have blue tops and red bottoms on and the others have vice versa). Anyway, two guys and two gals jump into a tank of green gaterade together to switch suits so that the guys emerge with matching girl suits on and the gals emerge with matching guy suits on. They have six minutes for all twelve to switch suits. Of course, they did it. They celebrate with drinks in the hot tub.

The show ends with nominations. Lisa nominates Marcellas and Lori, saying that although Marcellas had bonded with her, he had not made an effort to bond with the rest of the group and vice versa for Lori. Although Lori had bonded with everyone else, she had failed to bond with her.

Miscellaneous events: Chiara talks about sex and realizes that she is making Jason uncomfortable and asks him if he is a virgin. He evades. Later she asks again and he admits in a sweet way that he is indeed virginal. In confessional he says that it is his faith, but he doesn't want to differentiate himself from the group so he is trying to lie low. Also, Marcellas talks about being gay.
