Awkward: "Sex, Lies and the Sanctuary": AKA: And the Plot Thickens

So a video camera has been discovered taping the Sanctuary and a panic is whipping through the school. Jenna is freaking out at the possibility that one of her secret hooks up with Matty having been caught on tape. This of course leads to the problem of whether or not to tell  Jake. It becomes a question of which is the lesser of two evils, is it better to tell Jake about her and Matty or have him possibly find out when the tape is released.

Look how cute they are...

Meanwhile Jake is having a freak out of his own, obsessing over not only the fact that Jenna isn't a virgin, which he just always assumed she was, but also, and more importantly, that she was in love with the guy she slept with. I have to admit his freak out was kind of adorable. It shows not only how insecure he can be, but also how much he cares about Jenna. "What I want, is for you to be able to tell anything, even if you think I don't want to hear it, I want to hear it." Seriously Jake gets the best/most swoon worthy lines. His face when Jenna told him she was invested in him, was adorable. I know, my Team Jake-ness is showing.

Oh, Matty. You just don't get it.
Matty on the other hand, is still making trouble for the happy couple. When Jake reveals that Jenna told him that she was in love with guys she slept with, Matty runs straight to Jenna and tells her "I love you." Oh, Matty, once again his selfishness has depleted my sympathy for him. Even his pleading at the end for Jenna not to tell Jake, because he "can't loose him too" sounds hollow. He doesn't really care if he looses Jake if he gets Jenna, and if he can't have Jenna than he won't loose Jake. All he really cares about is his own "happiness".

In an attempt to find out what is on the tape, Ming is unintentionally inducted into the "Asian Mafia". Which I'm hoping means they'll give her more to do now. And Val managed to use the tape to get promoted to VP.

And perhaps in one of the more glossed over moments of the episode, Lacey admits to Kevin that she wrote the Carefrontation letter. I'm sure we'll all have to deal with next week.

Also the mysterious commenter on Jenna's blog has returned. I'm really curious as to who it is. Ming and Tamara have already denied their involvement, but as we know, as far as this show is concerned, not everyone tells the truth all the time. We all remember Tamara's letter writing confession don't we? I'm pretty sure it isn't Jake, because if it was was he would know about Matty and Jenna, since she frequently writes about them. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Lacey reaching out to her daughter in another form. Or Kyle...seriously, when are we going to get some more Kyle. I refuse to believe that Jenna's stalker would just disappear quietly. After all she basically offered him a window into her life by apologizing, I don't think he would just give up. 

Next week we get more into Matty's sabotage on Jenna and Jake's relationship, and I can only imaging the start of the fallout from Lacey's confession. Things are getting interesting.
