![]() ![]() He says he didn’t want to say anything in front of Nate, because he’d make fun of them, given “what you’ve done.” (He’s, of course, referring to that directory of nudes and such that Nate showed him in the pilot.) And when she asks for clarification, he says it’s not a secret and tells her he wants to call it a night. Near tears, Cassie later presses McKay about why he told her he loved her but then denied that she was his girlfriend. But when McKay says that he and Lexi’s sister are just hanging out, she gets salty quickly. “I’m just trying to help him keep a girl like her,” Cal creepily tells his family, indicating Cassie. When McKay and Cassie swing by the Jacobs family’s booth, Cal harangues McKay about how he’s gotten very little playing time on his college football team. ![]() She instead stalks off to find her friends. ![]() “Why are you dressed like a hooker?” he says angrily, adding that his parents already don’t like her - which is news to her - so she’s got to go home and change into something more respectable. When Maddy approaches, wearing something straight outta Xtina’s 2002 “Dirrty” video, Nate freaks out. RECONCILIATION | Nate’s entire family is at the carnival, manning a chili contest booth. ![]() “Didn’t drugs feel real good the first time you tried ’em?” he counters. But her friendship with Jules is a good thing, Rue protests. Ali hones in on the girls’ relationship, likening Rue’s obsession with her friend to her relationship with illicit substances. He probes about what prompted her to make the call, and she vaguely references her “misreading” of the situation in Jules’ bedroom in the previous episode. Why’d you call me?” (Ha!) They’re at a diner and she’s eating pancakes. PANCAKES WITH ALI | Rue is ruminating on how she has no passion for anything and how she suspects most people don’t when she’s interrupted by Ali, the guy from outside her Narcotics Anonymous meeting. As he’s violently having sex with Jules, Rue tells us that her friend often pretends that the awfulness is happening to someone else, beacuse “It’s not like her body ever really belonged to her in the first place.” Also, Jules had a dream of spending the rest of her life with Rue, living together in a city where they’d ” maybe date other people, but always sleep in the same bed.” However, that was before Tyler came into Jules’ life. We see flashbacks to some of Jule’s rendezvous, including the icky motel evening with Nate’s dad, Cal. The guys she hooks up with are almost uniformly cisgender male, in a relationship and adamant that they are not gay. And “by 16, Jules had gotten a little slutty,” Rue adds. Dad became the primary caregiver at 13, Jules started transitioning. Jules’ mom, however, “got worse and went away,” Rue tells us. We watch as she uses a ripped soda can to slice her wrists (and immediately regret it) at the hospital eventually, though, she feels much better and comes home. “Truth was, Jules hated herself,” Rue’s voiceover fills in, taking us through how Jules has hated her brain and her body for years. We learn that Jules has been “sad for a really long time,” as she mentions in group therapy. That’s when she realizes that her mom has institutionalized her without saying a word. The place is fairly depressing (cinderblock walls, fluorescent lighting, lots of kids looking either really checked out or incredibly angry) and Jules soon says she wants to go home. The place is described as “where children can learn to feel better about themselves,” a doctor informs her during a tour.
