The episode begins with the Outward Bound kids and the final days of their hike. Some roommates are excelling at motivating the kids, while others aren't doing so well. Tyrie (Denver) and Colie (Denver) seem to take a leadership role, while the other cast seems to be doing well. All except Stephen (Denver) that is.
Stephen went to his sister's wedding and missed most of the trip. Colie and Tyrie accused him of not taking too much interest in the kids. When Stephen returns, he's met with anomosity and negativity.
The kids go home and the roommates are once again left to their own. Once they get home, they get their evaluations. Stephen is confronted with the fact that he didn't care too much about the kids and took a backseat role to leading the group.
This leads Stephen to confront Tyrie and Colie. Davis (Denver) tells Stephen that both of them had talked behind Stephen's back while he was at his sister's wedding. He also tells him that Tyrie thinks he's "too integrated into white culture."
For whatever reason, Stephen decides to confront both Tyrie and Colie. Everyone seems to work their differences out. Tyrie tells Stephen that he thinks that he didn't put 100% into the Outward Bound experience and that he thinks he's "whitewashed", just like Stephen thinks Tyrie is "hood". The two realize that they just had their first disagreement. Stephen confronts Colie at a bar, where they just vent their frustrations, and hug it out at the end.

Hmmm, this article seemed critical of Stephen, but I actually thought he behaved in a mature and responsible manner. Great communication skills displayed
