"fi"

- I deserve to be judged! Last night, I told my best friend 'I love you' and when she rejected me, I got drunk and slept with her boyfriend. Do you think I should tell her?

"The Morning Aftermath" is the first episode of Season 2 of Faking It and the ninth in the overall series. It first aired on September 23, 2014 on MTV.

Overview
Karma, Amy, and Liam deal with the aftermath from Farrah's wedding, and Lauren enlists Shane's help to protect her secret.

Synopsis
Amy wakes up from her hangover following last night's events when she notices a lump on her bed, next to her. She prays for it to be dirty clothes and turns the cover back, shocked to find Liam, in the nude, waking up. The two notice each other and immediately curse when they hear Karma's voice from behind the door, pleading for Amy to let her in. Liam tries to hide under the bed sheets, but Amy unlocks the window behind her and begins pushing Liam through. Liam stops midway, asking for his clothes, but Amy throws him over the railing and retreats underneath the sheets as Liam closes the window and ducks underneath them. During the scuffle, Karma pleads to Amy and barges into the room.
