Mardi Gras

S1 E4: Mardi Gras infuses its rich color and debauchery throughout the city for the entire month of February. Neighborhood crime continues to complicate Lauren Anderson's efforts to sell last year's house. The students call a community meeting, where neighbors are vocal about crime and the lack of security in the new house design. Amarit has a construction accident that sends him to Tulane's Urgent Care Center. 24-year-old Michael Wong, a dedicated community activist, shows interest in last year's house, potentially derailing Tess' plan to get the house for her daughter. Lauren Anderson gives a dinner party and the state of New Orleans housing is the topic du jour. Amarit volunteers to assist with campus crowd control as Barack Obama visits Tulane and gives a moving speech on rebuilding the city of New Orleans.
