Danny Jamieson

When Johanna drinks, an aggressive side of her personality comes out. This results in her being arrested and held overnight in the Austin jail for public intoxication. Meanwhile, Danny returns home with girls' numbers written on his hand, and Melinda erupts.

Melinda worries that Danny may never return to Austin after helping his family bury his mother. Also, the unexpected death of Danny's mother causes Nehemiah to re-evaluate his relationship with his own mother, who is in a drug rehab clinic.

Rachel tells her back home boyfriend that she's ready to end their break, but when Erik comes for a visit, she finds she still has mixed feeling. Also, Danny finally decides to file a complaint with the police against the guy who assaulted him.

Rachel has a meltdown during a quarrel with Nehemiah and thinks her outburst is probably symptomatic of having a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder due to her Iraq war service. Also, Wes' long-running pursuit of Johanna finally leads to some sexy kissing, but he seems over his crush on her after meeting a new girl, Wren.

On Valentine's Day, Danny plans to treat Melinda to a romantic dinner. Instead, he has to fly home after receiving devastating news from his father.

As the roommates continue to document the South by Southwest music festival, Rachel's team feels that Lacey is not doing her share of the work, while Lacey vents to her back home boyfriend Ryan that Rachel's propensity for creating drama is irritating. This mutual backbiting inevitably leads to a confrontation.

When seven strangers move into a converted warehouse in Austin, they find they are only blocks away from 6th Street, the party place for a rowdy college crowd. From their first meeting Danny is attracted to beautiful Melinda, but will Johanna's kiss turn his head? Johanna warns Nehemiah that she gets crazy when she drinks, but no one expected her craziness to lead to a street brawl and a serious injury that could cost Danny his sight.

To Melinda's joy, Danny finally returns to Austin, but his grief over losing his mother makes it hard for him to resume their once intimate relationship. Also, the roommates begin a job training exercise: making video portraits of each other.

Danny and Wes both have a decision to make: do they want to date exclusively their present crushes, Melinda and Wren, or play the field? This becomes the main topic of discussion when the roommates spend a weekend on a Texas dude ranch.

Johanna's competitive spirit is aroused when she suspects that Leo, her bartender crush, has a girlfriend. Her previous cool attitude toward him becomes distinctly warmer and Leo spends the night. A frustrated Wes trashes the house.
