AN EXPLOSIVE TURN OF EVENTS THREATENS TO SEND ONE CAST MEMBER HOME ON THIS WEEK'S CAN'T-MISS EPISODE OF OXYGEN'S 'BAD GIRLS CLUB'

Episode Premieres Tuesday, January 6 At 10PM ET/PT

NEW YORK � January 5, 2009 � Tensions reach a boiling point and a shocking cliffhanger comes to a conclusion when "Bad Girl's Club" returns to Oxygen on January 6 (10pm ET/PT) after a holiday hiatus.

Last viewers saw of Kayla, she was being rushed to the emergency room after becoming anxious and drinking too much at an amateur strip night. After Kayla returns to the house, the roommates become increasingly alarmed by her erratic behavior. Tiffany really loses her patience after Kayla confesses her insecurities about being the "darker-skinned black girl" in the house. Tiffany, who is part Caucasian, feels this is petty and starts to lose patience.

While the Tiffany-Kayla drama builds, Ailea loses her temper with her own house-nemesis, Amber M., and the two nearly come to blows after a meaningless argument. Later on, Ailea confesses to Kevin, her considerably older internet-love connection, she is "crazy" and was once institutionalized.

As for Amber B., a budding romance with Greg is getting off the ground, but the two are having a hard time finding privacy in the house. A steamy make-out session in a closet ensues, but things quickly hit the skids when Amber learns Greg is still living with his ex-girlfriend. The rest of the ladies are convinced he is still dating the "ex" and try to persuade Amber to dump him. Instead of kicking him to the curb, Amber decides to have a sleep over and things heat up all over again. The next day, she tells her housemates that she doesn't trust him and insists she didn't "give it up," even though there is ample evidence to the contrary.

The episode comes to an explosive conclusion, when Kayla spirals out of control after her dress splits at a dance club. She screams that she's tired of being the "center of attention" and the star of "the Kayla show." Kayla's outburst leads to a nasty blow-up with Tiffany, who reveals a hidden rage her roommates have never seen before. Will Kayla find a way to patch things up with Tiffany and the rest of the girls? Or will something happen that changes the house dynamic forever?
