The worst episode of the series.... I'm not sure if Sam lost his notes of season 1 and the characters.. but the series is heading in a bad direction..
First, the scene of Nate & Cassie arguing was one of the most forced and weird interactions ever... they didn't even feel like the same characters, the way they were talking, especially Cassie...? This terrible storyline with Cassie & Nate gets way too much screentime also... it's exhausting.
Maddy's birthday party turned out to just be a disappointing weird mess...
Kat has literally no storyline, she just appears for a few seconds to mention how she doesn't like Ethan... after all the build up of season 1 of them getting together. It was clear Kat did like Ethan, so in the span of 3 weeks after the winter formal, she despises him...
Rue didn't do much this episode besides be high and we have Jules and Elliott kissing every 5 minutes.... Which is all just weird...
Like why is Jules acting like this... based on how we left off with her in her special episodes, none of this makes sense.
Sam is just ignoring whatever he wants about season 1 & the special episodes, to write the characters however he wants...
Then, we have the storyline of Cal just visiting the gay bar he went with Derek, felt like this should've happened last episode.... All of his scenes felt like they were just happening... I didn't feel much for him at all... or his random decision to tell his family about his secret life...
This entire episode felt like a lot but nothing at the same time.. I just absolutely love this show and am so sad to see how it's turning out with this new season...
