This episode really reminded me how glad I am that I'm not a teenage girl anymore. The utter entitlement that boys have towards their bodies is sickening and when I see shows like this, it all comes roaring back.
What happened to McKay sucked. His fraternity brothers are typical alpha male bully assholes (no surprise there and side note: this is why you should always lock your door even when you live in the dorms). But that gave him no right to try to fuck his shame away roughly with Cassie. And hey, boys, if you take less than 30 seconds to fuck, the very least you could do is go down on your girl so that she gets some pleasure out of the experience. What a selfish prick. And that's before we even get into his shitty attitude about her Halloween costume. Girls, if a guy ever tells you not to wear something, dump him immediately. No good comes of being in a relationship with an insecure control freak who thinks he has the right to tell you what to wear.
Next up in the parade of dickwads is Daniel. Oh, it hurts soooooooo much because you want to have sex with Cassie - BOO HOO. Newsflash: she doesn't have to have sex with you, asshole. No matter what she does, she always has the right to tell you to stop. That has nothing to do with her having a boyfriend either. She doesn't owe you sex. But of course instead of taking no for an answer, he continued to pressure her and then finished by insulting her. I was afraid he was going to end up raping her. I was still afraid that someone was going to attack her when she left the party alone.
McKay's dad sucks too. Being realistic about your chances of making it to the NFL is not the same as letting doubt creep in.
Nate continues to be awful. The way he acted like there's no way he would attack someone who's already in a neck brace was bad enough, but blackmailing Tyler into confessing that he choked Maddy - JFC. And forcing Jules to be a fake witness - gawd, just when I thought I couldn't hate Nate even more.
OMG, I laughed my ass off when Rue started threatening Roy/Troy with all the characters on The Wire.
Jules was a mess at the party, but she gets an A+ for her Claire Danes costume. Loved all the R+J shout outs (I was half expecting to hear "I'm kissing yooooooooooou").
I loved Lexi's Bob Ross costume. It gave me total Willow Rosenberg vibes. I love when girls don't don't feel the need to wear a sexy/girlie costume.
While part of me really felt for Rue because it sucks to be one of the only two sober people at a party, it kind of made me laugh at the irony. I'm sure that other people got tired of dealing with her when she was high/out of control/making bad choices and now the shoe is on the other foot having to watch Jules get drunk and her little sister getting high with the twins again.
Awww, I was glad when Fezco and Rue made up at the party. There were a lot of truth bombs - Fezco knows not to believe what drug addicts say which is smart and Rue realized that he was right not to sell to her anymore.
