The highlight of the episode, however, comes after Cal makes the panicked decision to retrieve his sex tape, which he believes is in Fez’s house, because that’s what Nate told him. The warning is all the more menacing through Laurie’s pokerfaced, deadpan delivery - this woman isn’t the type to exaggerate. Before she leaves, Laurie warns to never betray her, or she’ll send some “sick people” after Rue. Laurie is impressed by Rue’s idea, which is to blackmail three innocent schoolgirls into becoming dedicated dealers, apparently. Seeing as Fez (understandably) doesn’t even want to hear her crazy scheme, Rue turns to the deeply sinister, amusingly understated teacher-turned-kingpin, Laurie. It’s a plot twist in the love triangle, as he and Rue seemed to have genuine chemistry, beyond their shared passion for substance abuse.Įmboldened by her lies, Rue is falling into depravity fast, now with ambitions to deal drugs, in order to pay for more drugs. It isn’t quite clear if Elliot is being horribly manipulative, or brutally honest, as he barrages Jules with compliments, clearly crushing on her.

Meanwhile, Jules, Rue and Elliot have formed a tight friendship, taunt with sexual tension, simmering, unexpectedly, between Elliot and Jules.

Watching Maddy open her door feels akin to a hot-blooded virgin inviting a vampire to their abode something dark and dreadful is sure to follow. Poor Cassie is addicted to his twisted form of affection, and the pressure is starting to eat her up on the inside, in stark contrast to her polished appearance.Ĭassie almost reaches breaking point when a student mistakes her outfit for an Oklahoma! audition, leading to Cassie, completely unprompted, shrieking out the details of her sordid affair to her friends in the bathroom, a tense moment of release that only occurs inside Cassie’s mind.īut Nate, it seems, still pines for Maddy, as we see him enter her house, bouquet of flowers in hand. Of course, the two meet up regularly to have loud, steamy sex sessions, in which Nate never seems to say a word to Cassie that isn’t incredibly derogatory he never lets her forget her big betrayal.
