Rachel brought about a love dilemma that series. She was attracted to both bad-boy Puck and the (very liberal) guy who was a cartoonist (I think that's what he did - I can't remember his name).
Rachel ended up taking the cartoonist to a Young Republicans meeting in Arizona - as well as attending AIDS events with Pedro.

The cartoonist guy ended up marrying Pam, the medical student in the same series.

I thought this was the seminal season for TRW. It went downhill with sensationalism after that.
