The Episode Review
Amerie apparently lost her virginity to Malakai at the festival, and Harper seems to be deeply affected by it. Amerie has not been herself since then, and Amerie’s best friend still can’t remember what happened. I think Amerie used the fact that she lost her virginity as a way to avoid talking to Harper about what happened after their conversation. ..
In a recent episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Malakai (Jared Padalecki) lied to his father and coach to get back into bed with Amerie (Avery Brooks). This episode gave us more questions than answers, but it was certainly enjoyable.
