Well, I'm sure the police will get to the bottom

of everything.

I don't wanna think about it anymore.

I'm sure you're right.

Hmm.

Besides, I can think of much better things to think about.

Oh, yeah?

Like what?

Like you and me finally being able to go on a date.

Not a coffee date, not a study date,

a real date.

It does seem to be a much better thing to think about.

Charlie.

You.

Sorry for the wait.

My apologies, ladies.

I'm a bit under the weather.

That's okay.

I have some bad news.

Uh, your LAD scholarship has been defunded.

What?

No, you can't do that.

Mom.

You've worked so hard to be here and

and at the start of your sophomore year, you have

to drop out because of university budget cuts.

No, no.

You can't promise a student something and then

take it away.

We're seeing massive cuts across the board.

It's not just Cassie.

Cassie won that scholarship, because she got

straight As her entire freshman year!

She's a model student.

With her accounts in arrears.

I've heard the library might have some openings

or perhaps worse stuff

It's a $15,000 scholarship.

You think Cassie can make that up by reshelving

library books?

Perhaps, it's time you and your daughter look

into securing some private loans.

I have the information for some lenders right here.

I'm really sorry I wish there was more I could do,

the funding is just not there.

Thank you.

I guess I'll just drop out

and apply to community college in the fall

No.

No, that is not happening.

We agreed you were gonna go to the best college

you could possibly get into,

no matter what it would take.

I'll

I'll just take more shifts at the nursing home,

but you're not dropping out.

Mom, no.

You already worked so hard, you've done so much for me.

Honey, listen.

Before your father died I promised him I would do

whatever it took for you to go to the school of

your dreams.

It meant so much to him

and it means so much to me.

So please, we'll figure this out together.

Okay. -Okay.

Just hold off on taking extra shifts,

okay?

I found a scholarship before, I can do it again.

Attagirl.

So what's the rest of your day like?

Hmm, I've got a couple hours free and then

a late study session at the library.

Oh.

You know, how I hate the idea of you walkin' around campus

late at night alone.

See if someone could give you a ride home?

I'm always careful, mom.

I know, but remember what I always told you

when you were a little girl?

That it's my job to keep you safe.

And my job to help you keep me safe.

Right.

You must be getting late.

I have to go.

I'll see you Saturday for brunch.

Just like always.

-Love you. -Love you.

-Good luck. -Oh.

-There you go. -Thanks.

-Hi, good luck. -Thank you.

There you go.

See?

Thank you. - Thank you.

Lambda provides tuition assistance and

free housing for those with financial need.

Though, I can see you don't need that.

But we're also one of the most socially active

organizations on campus.

I won't say we party every weekend

But we know how to have a good time.

Of course, the most important thing is sisterhood

and a great alumni network.

Good luck.

-You seem like Lambda material. -Mmhmm.

There you go.

Bye.

Oh no.

Uh, hi.

Can I get an application?

Oh, we just ran out.

Okay.

Well, I will download one online.

What's the website?

I'm sorry but just no.

Okay.

Cassie.

Hey!

Lisa!

Uh, Intro to Psych last year, right?

Yeah, you lent me your notes when I had the flu.

Thank you, you totally saved my life.

Or at least my GPA, which is almost like the same thing.

I saw you at the Lambda table, are you applying?

Uh, apparently not.

Uh, they wouldn't even give me an application.

That's the Lambda way.

They reject you before you can get an application.

It proves you're serious.

That other girl got one.

The other girl is different.

Girls like us you know,

scholarship girls,

we just have to try a little harder.

Hmm.

Go back, you'll see, it's totally worth it.

Oh.

Is that stuff about the tuition assistance

and housing true?

Yeah.

Seriously, what do you have to lose?

Okay.

It's okay.

Hi.

I'd really like an application.

Oh, look, you just got more in.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

It worked.

Of course, it did.

Let's see.

Wait, what's a social résumé?

Don't worry.

I know exactly what they're looking for.

Okay.

So I spoke to my boss and she's gonna give me

Saturdays.

I told you not to do that.

And I told you we're in this together.

There's my stubborn streak right there.

Hey ladies, can I get you anything else?

I think we're good.

-You want anything else? -I'm good.

-No, I'm good. -You're good?

-Okay, whenever you're ready. -Thank you.

Anyway, I'm praying I get into Lambda.

Lisa said I'd probably find out today and they've

got financial aid, tuition assistance

Spoiled sorority girls.

Yes, but not only.

Lisa's nice and she's a scholarship girl just like me.

You know, there's always an exception

to prove every rule, right?

Hmm, yeah, but I don't care.

I can put up with a few silly mean girls

if it means that I get to stay

in school and you don't work yourself to death.

But aren't you supposed to go through an

initiation first where they make you take

cold showers, and recite the Greek alphabet,

and I don't know,

hit you with a paddle and stuff.

That's called "pledging", mom, and no,

they don't do that anymore.

Since when?

Since the school banned it.

Hello.

Yes.

Really?

Uh, thank you.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be there.

What is it?

I did it.

I got into Lambda,

and full tuition assistance, and housing.

You you get to keep your Saturdays.

Well, congratulations, honey.

That's exciting.

I didn't think a sorority house could be this big.

-Little help? -Yes.

Yes, yes, sorry, honey.

I got distracted by the house.

It's so gigantic.

Yeah, there are in Miami.

You sure this is the right place?

Hello?

Hello?

Where is everybody?

Studying maybe.

I don't think a house full of girls could be this quiet.

-Check upstairs? -Okay.

Hi, so nice to meet you.

-Hi. -Hi.

Come on, let's go see your room.

Yeah, come on.

Wow!

Guys, this is too much.

No, this is Lambda.

Too much means we're just getting started.

we have no time to waste.

We have to get you moved in before the house meeting.

Turns out I'm gonna be your roommate and Monica

is gonna be your big.

Um, uh, big?

Big sister.

It's like a mentor.

Monica is the president of Lambda.

Having her as your big is a huge honor.

Seriously, I'm jealous.

Oh, go on.

I mean it, go on.

Okay, well, thank you.

This is all incredible.

Oh, uh, girls, this is my mom Debra.

She's helping me move in.

Nice to meet you Miss Thompson.

Oh.

-Yeah. -Okay.

Your daughter's awesome.

I think so.

What do we have here?

Cassie, right?

I'm Wendy.

-I'm your house mom. -Oh.

No, no, no, no, no, you're family now.

And I'm a hugger.

Uh, this must be your sister.

I'm actually Cassie's mom.

Wow, really?

You look and sound just like her.

You must have been a baby yourself when you had Cassie.

Well, actually, I'm

Unfortunately, visiting hours are over.

I was just helping Cassie unpack.

No exceptions.

We have strict rules to protect our girls and

ensure a distraction-free environment.

I'm sure you can appreciate that.

Uh, it's okay.

Uh, Lisa can help me.

Uh, okay.

Um, well, I guess I'll be going.

Don't worry about Cassie.

Parents' day is at the end of the semester,

you're invited then.

Meanwhile, Kappa Ada Lambda is her family now, right, girls?'

Right.

Monica will show you out.

Kerrie, may I see you in my office now, please?

Hey.

Honey, do you need anything?

No, I'm good.

I love you.

And I love you more.

Right this way.

We have so much going on tonight.

So the house is really beautiful.

Thank you.

We love it.

How long have you been with the sorority?

This is my fourth year.

-Oh, nice! -Yeah.

Wow.

The girls have a lot of money here.

Yeah, I guess.

Listen, be honest with me.

Do you think Cassie will fit in here?

Cassie is smart.

What the other girls have or don't have won't matter

before long.

Okay.

Well, take care of Cassie for me, will you?

Of course.

Bye!

Bye.

Good evening, Lambda.

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome our

new sisters Whitney, Mariela,

Breanna, Cassie, and Susan

to Kappa Ada Lambda.

Having somewhere to go is home.

Having someone to love is family.

Having both is a blessing.

We all have families of origin, but

here at Lambda we have something particularly special.

We don't just have family, we have sisters.

Yes.

Sisterhood is so many things.

It's a warm smile, a cheerful hug,

a friendly hello.

But above all it's a promise

to stick together and to protect one another,

just like in a real family.

Now, let's all stand up, take hands,

and repeat the Lambda pledge.

What is the wonder

Of sisters and friends?

Caring and sharing, the love never ends.

In our hearts forever,

a memory so true,

Kappa Ada Lambda, we love you!

-Congratulations, girls. - Thank you.

Congrats, hey.

SORORITY SISTER 3 Look at this.

Oh-oh, oh shit.

Yeah, just a little bit.

Alright, we're gonna come to this side.

This gives me nothing to do.

Or or you could get 5.

Kerrie.

Where are you going?

The library.

It's sosh time.

I know, but I have some research

I have to do at the library.

What did I just talk about?

Family is a two-way street, you can't just

take and take.

I know.

I'm sorry uh,

but the bylaws do allow for missing sosh time

for academic reasons.

Planning is the key to success.

We'll talk about this at our next retreat, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Mom, I'm coming home.

I can't stay here.

No, I tried, but I just can't, okay?

They want me to do the most horrible things.

Okay, I'll see you soon.

-Could you believe that? -No.

I mean who says something like that?

-No. -It's so weird.

What was that all about?

Oh, that's the sosh committee.

Sosh committee?

Yeah.

They plan all of our events, and they travel

around the country for conferences,

and meet with alumni.

But you don't wanna get into that, it's incredibly

time-consuming.

Well, if you have to be able to travel and

shop like that, there's no way I could.

Well, they actually get a wardrobe allowance

and their travel expenses are paid for.

Oh, and they're exempt from chores.

Yeah.

I know it looks tempting, but there's a lot of

strings attached.

You're smart, just focus on your classes.

The sosh committee has a lot more work than it looks like

than just cleaning the mess.

What's wrong?

Did you hear about Kerrie?

No, what happened?

She's dead.

What?

Two nights ago, she got hit by a train

at the station by accident.

Some people say it wasn't an accident.

It might have been suicide.

That's terrible!

Why why would she do that?

Uh, was she going through a rough time or

The university ethics council was gonna expel her

for cheating.

That's just a rumor.

The case is under investigation by

the campus police.

What?

Girls.

I know you all just heard the terrible news

about Kerrie.

She will be missed by us all.

In the meantime, we need to do our best

to carry on,

not dwelling in fear and despair.

It's it's what Kerrie would have wanted.

Come on in!

Oh.

Those are bougainvillea.

I had them planted as soon as this became my room.

Come on in.

I'm getting ready.

You went to Magnolia?

I went to Cheshire?

-We're practically neighbors. -I know.

That's why I chose you for my little.

Wow, I guess I assumed that

That I went to some expensive private school.

That I come from money.

-It's just some of the girls -Not me.

My mother is a teacher and my father well,

never mind.

But if you play your cards right,

you can have nice things, too.

Hey. -Hey.

Have you seen my curling wand?

I'm doing ringlets for the party.

Try Sierra.

I think she has it.

Okay, thanks.

What a mutation.

Uh, I thought you two were besties.

I just like to keep my enemies closer.

There's a lot of girls here who will do anything

to get ahead, including bring you down.

Jealousy, you know?

But tonight, I've got better things to do than

worry about basic Bianca.

Cassie, why aren't you getting ready?

Uh, for what?

For the white party.

You didn't tell her?

First years aren't invited.

But our Cassie isn't a little freshman,

I'm sure she knows how to handle herself.

Uh, I'm sorry, but what's a white party?

It's one of our most exclusive events of the year.

It's a great opportunity to meet alumni,

lineup a summer internship,

find a mentor,

if you're interested in that kind of thing.

Oh yeah uh, but, I mean I don't know

if I'd have anything to wear.

It sounds pretty fancy.

Well, that's what bigs are for.

You two look like you're about the same size.

I have just the thing.

You will look amazing.

Do you do you think we should still be

celebrating after what happened to Kerrie?

The show must go on.

Cassie.

Hey, um, wow, you look amazing!

Oh.

I wasn't expecting to see you here.

Uh, you're here just to network, right?

Of course, what else?

Good.

Keep it that way.

It's just you can lose track of your goals really

easily here with so many attractive alternatives

so

Just enjoy, okay?

Okay.

Don't say a word.

I have just the thing.

So you're new here?

I haven't seen you here before.

Uh, yeah, this is my first time.

Is it usually this packed?

Yeah, usually.

Are you the only bartender?

Oh, well, just kinda seems to work out that way

sometimes, but I know not to complain.

More money for you.

Yeah, well, that's the idea.

Cosmo.

Pretty drink for a prettier girl.

It's my specialty.

Thank you.

Cassie.

There is someone I'd like you to meet.

Uh, cheers.

This is Simon Hughes.

He's an alumna of Omicron and VP of distribution for

Red Pharmaceuticals.

Nice to meet you.

-Oh, um. -Um.

Oh.

Nice to meet you.

Given Cassie's major in healthcare administration,

I thought you'd have a lot to talk about.

Um, uh, thank you.

Uh, she's right.

Uh, I'm writing a paper on pharmaceutical

distribution.

I'm a supply chain junkie.

Maybe it's the wrong way to put that

I think it's perfect.

Well, as I'm sure you know, medicines are sourced

from ingredients from around the world

and then the final formulations get exported

worldwide, meaning the packaging, repackaging,

and sales can happen in many different countries, yeah.

Yeah, and every transaction

is an opportunity for falsified products

to infiltrate the market.

Exactly.

Oh.

Are you okay?

Oh yeah, I'm just um, a little dizzy.

-Um -Do you wanna get some air?

-I excuse me - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Excuse me - No, I can help.

I have to go.

I'm so sorry.

Come off yet.

Hey, are you okay?

Whoa.

-Um. -Oh.

Uh, hydrogen peroxide and soap will get that out

-in a flash. -What?

Look, can I walk you home?

Oh.

Hey, baby.

Whoa, where you going?

Somebody's been partying a little hard tonight, huh?

You wanna come party with me?

Whoa, hey, you wanna meet my boys right here?

This is Vaughn.

Hey, where are you going?

Hey, come here.

Listen, we go Listen, we go back to my place and

have a couple of drinks.

I'll show you a good time, come over.

Hey, where are you going?

Baby, come on!

Miss, you okay?

Miss.

What's your name?

Um, Cassie Thompson.

Looks like you've had one too many, Cassie Thompson.

-I'm gonna have to write you up. -I no, no.

I'm 21.

Public intoxication is an ethics council violation.

But I only had one drink.

I was I was at the white

-The white party. -Party.

Yeah.

You're a Lambda.

Yeah.

Why didn't you say so?

Come on, let's get you home.

-Bit too much fun last night? -Uh.

Actually, I think Cassie might have been roofied.

Oh, but I but I had my drink the whole time.

It only takes a second.

Or it could have been in your drink when you got it.

Some cretins think that kinda thing is funny.

At one of our parties?

Maybe you forgot to eat something beforehand.

Top shelf can have quite a kick.

Maybe.

I've been pretty busy.

Now, you know to be more careful next time.

Think I might just stick to club soda.

Simon Hughes was impressed with you.

He's looking for a summer intern.

Excellent salary and quite a bit of travel.

You could see the world and get paid to do it.

Really?

Oh, I'm so glad I didn't make him mad.

Think I kind of rushed off last night.

Oh, I've gotta go.

I got brunch with my mom.

Oh.

Maybe you should just take it easy today.

It's the only time we can see each other all week,

But you have chores and studying as well.

I'm sure your mom will understand.

No, it's our thing.

I'll fit it all in somehow.

Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?

Oh yeah, I'm fine.

What's wrong, honey?

You're not coming down with something, are you?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

And those rich sorority girls,

they're not keeping you up with their partying I hope.

You know, how important your sleep is, especially

with your hectic schedule.

No, I had an early night.

It's just um

Uh, they served tuna tartare

at an alumni event last night.

Oh.

Okay, but I can still see there's something else

that's bothering you.

Oh.

Maybe Lambda wasn't quite what you hoped.

No, uh, Lambda's great.

Really great, actually.

And the girls?

They're actually really nice and I'm learning

a lot, and it's such a relief to know that

we don't have to worry about housing.

You don't have to worry about it, so

Hey, you know, you can always talk to me, right?

I know.

Everything's fine really.

It's it's just uh,

Lambda's a different world and I need to find

my own way in it.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Remember me?

Cosmo girl.

It's good to see you.

How are you?

I've been better.

But tell me what did you put in my drink?

Oh, um, vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice,

and triple sec.

Standard cosmo.

Yeah.

And do roofies come standard, too?

What?

Are you kidding?

You tried to take me home.

'Cause you could barely stand.

I figured you pre-gamed toward it and needed help.

Oh, and you were conveniently there to give it to me.

No, listen to me.

I've got enough to do with classes, and studying,

and working nights to make ends meet.

Why do you think I bartend snotty Greek events for fun?

No. Uh, of course, not.

-I mean -No, it's not funny.

The last thing I need is some drunk sorority girl

getting me in trouble with the ethics council.

Or the cops.

Besides, would I give you laundry advice

if I planned to assault you?

-You did? -You really don't remember?

I guess I kinda do.

But but somebody put something in my drink.

I really did just have one.

Did you get home, alright?

Yeah, a campus cop gave me a ride.

I hate to say it, but it does sound like you

were roofied.

You're a sorority girl and a sophomore, which makes

you a target.

How do you know that?

I give campus security talks each semester.

Got any tips other than never leaving my room again?

Yeah.

Uh, try bottled drinks that you open yourself.

That way you'll know it's not tainted and it's harder

to slip something in when you're not looking.

Thanks.

Look, I'm sorry I accused you.

Is that is that O Chem?

Wait, I'm in that class, but I've never seen you.

Yeah, well, I am.

I sit it in the back

And I keep my head down.

The only way any of this gets in my thick skull.

Uh uh, maybe we could study sometime.

Sure.

Yeah, I need all the help I can get.

Actually, um,

I could use some help right now.

-Okay. -Okay.

You first.

Miss Mathers.

Hello, Lisa.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sure everybody at Lambda is very sorry.

Did you hear what they're saying?

They're saying Kerrie cheated and she killed herself.

Kerrie was very smart, she didn't need to cheat.

I know she was worried about her grades.

Lambda was supposed to be a way to help her pay

her tuition, but instead

Don't you think it's strange how quickly rumors become facts

in a place like this?

I'm sure no one really believed.

I contacted the police, the real police,

not these campus clowns, and I told them Kerrie did

not kill herself, she was murdered.

Murdered?

I have proof.

She was worried about something much more than

grades, something much worse.

What?

I can't talk about it.

It's a police investigation now.

I like you, Lisa, but you should watch your back.

You both should.

You're not safe in a place like this.

No one is.

I better go talk to Monica.

Cassie.

-Oh. -It's good to see you.

I was doing some senior recruiting on campus

when I saw you all over here.

Uh, yeah, it's a it's a memorial for a sister

who passed away recently.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

What happened?

Uh, an accident, I think.

Um, I'm sorry I had to leave so abruptly the other night,

Oh, that's alright,

but I was enjoying our conversation.

Me, too.

Uh, Wendy might have told you I'm doing some hiring

this summer.

Uh, yeah, she mentioned that.

It it sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

I'm so glad you think so.

Go ahead and contact my office, and set up a dinner.

I'd love to pick up where we left off.

Okay.

You wanted to see me?

Cassie, have a seat.

You did a wonderful job with the memorial.

The energy and commitment you showed.

Thanks.

I was happy to help.

I have good news.

I'd like you to join the sosh committee.

Our big masquerade gala is not too far off

and I know your organizational skills

are just what we need.

But I'm still a neo.

I thought committee members had to be sisters

for at least a year.

There are always exceptions for the exceptional,

unless you're not interested, of course.

No, no, I am.

Monica and Bianca will take you clothes shopping

for the Panhellenic Conference in

Washington this weekend.

I hope you like to travel first class.

First cl how can Lambda afford that?

Our alumni sponsors are very generous.

We call them our "angels".

Does does that include Simon?

I can't say.

Our angels are completely anonymous.

But don't worry they can afford to spoil us

and they do.

I still don't know what to think.

The truth is I didn't come from money either,

but getting into Lambda changed my life,

opened up a whole new world.

It can do the same for you.

Ladies, meet the newest member of our sosh committee.

Congratulations!

Cassie, that's amazing.

Yeah, that's wow!

Just wow!

Cassie's gonna need clothes for everything.

Travel, dinners, you name it, including a cocktail dress.

She has a dinner interview with a very important alumnus.

Who's the alum?

That's between Cassie and her alum.

You know the drill.

Yes, of course.

Good.

Call me if you need anything.

Cassie, you have a great time.

-This? -Yes.

-Okay, so we're looking for this -I found this outfit.

I love it, I love it, absolutely.

It's so cute, but you know what's cuter?

I can't believe you made sosh committee already!

We are gonna have so much fun.

Wait, we are?

Wendy, let me know yesterday.

And I wasn't gonna say anything, but I had a feeling

she was gonna ask you, too.

This is so exciting!

So I guess that answers that question.

What are you talking about?

You know, you're really smart and you talk a good game,

but in the end you're just like the rest of them.

Don't listen to her, she's just jealous.

Well, it doesn't seem quite fair that the sosh committee

gets so much

and some girls don't get anything.

They're still getting tuition assistance

and everything else.

The ones who need it anyway.

That's so cute.

You can't do this to me.

No, no, no, no, please, please,

I can do better, I promise.

But you said.

You promised me!

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, sweetheart.

How are you?

You'll never guess what I've been doing.

Tell me what.

Well, I went shopping and

ta-daa!

Cassie, what is all that?

Oh, don't worry, I didn't pay for it.

Lambda did.

Well, their sponsors, alumni angels, you know?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

Is that a Chanel bag?

Yes.

Oh, and look.

Oh, wow, that is beautiful!

I bet it looks gorgeous on you.

What event is that for?

Oh, I've got an interview.

Oh.

Uh, Cassie, that is not the right sort of dress

for an interview.

Well, it's a dinner interview.

Casual, but upscale, you know?

Honey, you wanna look professional and

let's just say

That is not the impression that dress makes.

They didn't buy you a business suit?

Okay.

Ready for the big interview?

What?

What are you wearing?

I thought Monica bought you a cocktail dress.

Yeah, but I wanna look professional.

Uh, my mom bought me this suit for interviews

last summer, so

Your mother has the best intentions,

but I mean she works in a nursing home,

doesn't she?

So?

She doesn't understand how our world works.

The world you're moving into now.

You're interviewing Simon just as much as he's

interviewing you.

What do you mean?

Do you admire his values,

his work ethic?

Would you like to spend the summer working with him?

Do you even like Simon?

I have only met him twice.

Cassie, it's very important that we maintain

a good relationship with our alumni network,

not just for your sake, but for the sake of all

the girls who'll come after.

I don't wanna let anybody down.

Good.

Don't ruin this for your sisters.

We're all family after all.

Wear the dress.

Own the room and the interview,

and don't look back.

Um, I'm here to see Simon Hughes.

It's open.

Okay.

Huh.

Apologies.

I didn't mean to startle you,

but I am impressed with your reflexes.

Uh, you should see me with nunchucks.

You look beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, you look uh, nice, too.

Uh, I thought we were meeting in your office.

This is my home office.

My regular office is too noisy and we have so much

to talk about.

Please.

Uh, yeah, of course.

Okay.

Would you like some champagne?

Or um, if you prefer, red wine?

Oh, I'm good with water.

-You sure? -Yeah.

This view is incredible.

Yes, incredible.

Well, I hope you like lobster.

Bon appétit.

So

when last we spoke

you were sharing your fascination

with the supply chain, which is surprising

for someone your age, certainly.

People have a tendency to vilify pharmaceutical companies

without looking deeply into the many ways

they make our lives better.

And there are so many ways they make much better.

Yeah.

I mean these days everyone just wants to write them off

as peddling designer drugs

or like they're simply faceless machines

only driven by profit when many of the

best companies have very specific

humanitarian aims written into their charters.

You're a very passionate young woman.

Health care means a lot to me.

My mom showed me just how big of a difference

quality care can make in people's lives.

I'm a passionate man, too.

Um.

Oh.

I have to take this.

Hello.

No, you don't you don't you don't have to go.

What?

Hey, it's me.

Uh, Charlie.

Wondered if you still needed a study buddy for tonight.

Oh yeah, sure.

You okay?

Uh, I'm on campus near the library and

I'm okay.

-I just um - Uh, look I just

got out of the chem lab nearby.

I can uh, I'm right by the library, I can meet

-you there, okay? -No, it's okay.

I'll meet you there, alright?

Okay.

Cassie, look out!

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Just just a little shaken.

If I'd have been there when that brick fell

No, before that.

Why were you crying when I called?

Please, just talk to me.

I had an interview

and the alum I was interviewing for

he um, he pulled down my dress and

-Go on. -I'm so stupid.

He said he wanted to meet at his house because his

office was too loud and I totally believed him.

Should have known a private dinner wouldn't

-end any other way. -No, that's not your fault.

Who was it?

No.

No, Charlie, you shouldn't get involved.

Listen to me.

I am involved.

Look, it's okay if you don't wanna tell me, but

You gotta talk about it with somebody.

Who do you trust the most?

My mom.

It does me good to see you eat.

Oh, before I forget, I brought you the usual.

Thanks, mom.

Um, I don't need the soap or quarters.

Lambda has laundry service.

Oh, someone's moving on up.

Actually most of my clothes are dry clean only now,

Okay, well, I just wanted to help, so

Uh, oh, but I'll take the granola bars.

I can never find these on campus

and you always remember they're my favorite.

Thank you.

Wow, your watch, it's shiny.

Yeah.

Just another perk of bein' Lambda.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

Um, I think Wendy's here.

Hello, Cassie.

And hello Debra, isn't it?

It's good to see you again.

Nice to see you, too.

Cassie and I were we're just catching up.

She was telling me how the sorority gave her money

to buy that watch.

Yes, it's part of her wardrobe allowance.

I know.

Now that Cassie's on the sosh committee,

she's not only required to plan events,

she's also expected to travel around the country

and meet with alumni.

Sounds important.

Yes, normally first-year recruits aren't asked,

but we made an exception in Cassie's case.

Well, she is exceptional.

Such a lovely coincidence to see you both.

Now please enjoy your brunch and Cassie,

I will see you later.

Okay.

I don't like her.

Mom.

What look, honey, I look, I know the sorority

is important to you, but there's just

something about that woman that gives me the creeps.

It's just something odd about her.

Mom, please.

Now, tell me what did you wanna talk about?

You sounded so strange over the phone.

Oh, uh It's nothing.

I just I wanted to see you.

Oh.

I've been so busy and especially

since I missed last time, I hope that's okay.

Hey, of course, it's okay.

Okay.

And you're still being careful, right?

-Of course. -Okay.

It's just I heard the police believe

that Lambda girl didn't jump,

that she was pushed.

Now, they're warning students about a pusher killer.

It's my job to keep you safe and it's your job

To help you keep me safe.

-Right. -I know.

Promise me, please, promise me you're not

gonna go out alone at night.

I promise.

Okay.

Okay.

What's going on?

Where's my stuff?

You've been moved.

Moved?

But who moved me?

Lisa, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Look, I know I've been distracted, but

ever since we got back from the conference,

you've been,

I don't know, quiet, withdrawn even.

I'm fine.

I just have a lot of work to do.

And the girl said you were supposed to be moved.

So go ask Wendy if you need to know more.

What's going on?

Oh, my stuff, it's all gone.

Not gone, just moved.

You've been upgraded to a private room.

Let me show you.

But this is Monica's room.

This was Monica's room.

Now, it's yours.

I don't understand.

Monica loves it here.

Why did she leave?

No one ever truly leaves Lambda and she'll still be

leading the sosh committee, but she decided

to get her own apartment off-campus.

Isn't that a bit sudden?

Hmm, she's a senior.

Graduation is just around the corner for her.

She wanted to move on.

To everything there's a season, right?

By the way, how did your dinner with Simon

go the other night?

Did he offer you the summer job?

Oh, um, actually uh, he had a business call,

so we had to cut it short, but I've been

thinking I don't wanna leave my mom home

for the summer, so I'm

I'm just not gonna take the job.

Cassie, you're an adult.

You have to think of your future.

You have to take advantage of every opportunity

that comes your way.

-Uh, but my mom -Your mom will understand.

She wants the best for you.

All the opportunities she never had.

What do you mean?

The travel, salary, more importantly,

the connections.

Don't let fear of a new world get in the way

of a good thing.

It's the world you belong to now.

And you have to admit, it has its perks.

Yeah, you're right.

-Of course, you are. -Wonderful.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from Simon soon.

Oh, and let me know if you'd like new flowers

on the patio.

The bougainvillea were Monica's favorites,

but I think they're hideous.

Stop, stop!

Charlie.

My brain is on fire.

I know.

This chapter is killing me.

Do you wanna come meet at the library?

I'm here now.

I can't.

I got so much going on right now.

There's a sosh committee meeting in 15 minutes,

I need to be planning the mas

Uh uh, I'm sorry I have to go.

What's wrong?

What is it?

It's Sheri.

She's dead.

She was standing on the corner and she was pushed

right into traffic.

She Sheri's

The cops are saying

They're saying it's the pusher killer.

We're holding a remembering ceremony

on campus later today.

Cassie, look!

It was her last picture.

Doesn't she look beautiful?

When was this taken?

I don't know.

She posted on her social right before.

Why?

Uh, my jacket?

She was she was wearing my jacket

when she was pushed.

A loss like this is difficult

and it's made even more difficult by the fact that

this is the second time we've had such pain

at Lambda this year.

I've spoken to the police and they want me

to reiterate that while these accidents

are suspicious they've yet to draw any conclusions.

We will get through this, but we'll get through it

together, as a family.

No!

What are you doing?

Uh, it's okay.

Cassie, just had a nightmare.

Why did you scream?

What do you mean?

There was an intruder!

Intruder.

Your door's unlocked.

I locked that door before I went to bed, I know it.

Okay, so he probably just used his key.

Key?

why would anyone have a key to my room?

Because it's Simon Hughes.

Your angel.

Simon, why?

How?

Come on, you don't have to pretend with me.

Pretend what?

Look, we're in the same boat,

although obviously you played your cards better

than I did.

At the white party,

Wendy introduced me to this important alum

named Gregory Ashton,

the same way she introduced you to Simon.

He tried to put his hand up my dress that night

and I slapped him.

Good for you.

I thought he was just being drunk and handsy,

but then at the conference Wendy told me

that if I didn't be sweet

to Greg, she would

She would make sure my stint in rehab

got known around campus.

I didn't know.

No one does.

I don't even know how Wendy found out.

You're not using anymore, right?

No, I haven't done anything since then

and I never would, but it doesn't matter.

I'll still get kicked out of Lambda because

I lied about that on my application.

Why?

Why would Wendy do that?

The angel alumni, they aren't former Lambda girls,

they're Omnicrons.

Rich guys who want pretty young girl friends who

will do stuff to get clothes, and tuition, and everything.

This is this is just so hard to believe.

Listen, I didn't wanna do it.

I don't even care about the clothes and stuff anymore,

but You have no idea

how hard I worked to get in here

and how much I need their help with room and

board, and everything.

Oh, Lisa, I'm so sorry.

Look, I believe you.

I've just I've been so nave.

I should have guessed there'd be more to all of this.

We have to stop this.

Stop Wendy, it's disgusting.

Okay, but it's not like we can just go to the cops.

I mean technically, what she's doing

isn't even illegal.

Rich guys buying pretty things for their

-girlfriends is just -Disgusting.

The way the world works.

And anyway, the men aren't even giving us

the stuff directly.

It all comes to the sorority.

But there has to be something.

It's wrong, and exploitative, and

unethical.

We could go to the ethics council.

And wind up in Wendy's crosshairs?

No, thank you.

She can't kick you out of Lambda if she's no longer house mom,

which is what's gonna happen the second

the council hears about this.

As a sorority employee, she falls under

school oversight.

Uh, I don't know.

We have to do this.

Not just for us but for everyone

and for all the girls who will come after us, please.

I don't want the other girls to go through what we did.

I'm so glad you're interested in becoming

one of our angel alumni, Mr. Anderson.

If I might ask, how did you hear about us?

Yes, Simon Hughes is one of our biggest supporters.

Let me send you some information on our girls.

I'm sure you'll take a personal interest.

Mmhmm, goodbye.

Okay, everyone.

Be quiet!

The masquerade ball is one week away

and we still had so much to do.

Where's Monica?

She's the one leading this committee.

She's not feeling well.

I suppose I should just tell you Monica

has been suspended from Lambda.

Why?

She just wasn't meeting her obligations

after she decided to move out.

Perhaps we should bring in another girl to help

take up the slack.

I think Whitney would be a wonderful fit.

Uh, but Whitney is a freshman.

I thought the committee was only for upperclassmen.

As you know, we make exceptions and

Whitney, she's very mature for her age.

No!

Uh, we don't need to rely on a freshman.

Since Monica's out, I'll head the committee.

I'm sure we can get along with the girls we have,

right?

Alright then, done.

But that means we're counting on you to create

a memorable event.

Can you handle it?

Absolutely.

Just give me a minute to get things figured out and

we'll meet tomorrow, okay?

-Hey. -Hey.

We're still meeting for coffee later, right?

No, I'll be there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you okay?

I feel dizzy.

Do you just need to get something to eat?

Um, no, I think it's just nerves.

Don't worry, I'll be okay.

I just need something to calm me down.

You can count on me.

Uh, Cassie, just a second.

I wanted to thank you.

You really stepped up today.

Just trying to do my part.

Well, I wish every girl at Lambda

had your commitment.

Uh, now if you have a minute I'd like to discuss

some of the specifics of the gala.

Oh, uh, actually I have class and then

an advisor meeting.

But I can meet up later this evening.

Will that work?

Sure, I can run some errands between now and then.

Just come by my office when you get back.

Will do.

Oh, and did Simon ever follow up with you?

Uh, no, he hasn't called.

I'm sure he's a very busy man.

Hmm.

I'm sure that's it.

Okay.

Cassie Thompson?

Yes.

We'll be hearin' your complain about

the Kappa Ada Lambda Sorority next.

Are you ready?

Actually um, my friend Lisa isn't here yet

uh, but she told me everything and I can tell

both you and the council.

When reporting to the ethics council,

you are restricted to speak about firsthand

experiences only.

Hearsay is not permitted.

Do you wanna proceed with just your testimony?

It's just that um, Lisa was the one

she had the most to say and all I can an say is um

I guess we actually should just reschedule.

Yeah.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Lisa overdosed.

I don't know what happened?

Cassie, I'm so sorry.

Bianca called me back as soon as the girls found Lisa.

I told them to call 911, right away.

You know, I know Lisa had been struggling with

addiction in the past, but she told me she'd gotten

clean and I believed her.

She was.

But she's been acting so strange, lately.

So nervous and agitated.

Do you have any idea what could have been

bothering her?

No, no idea.

Just she just seemed fine.

Just um, maybe overworked.

I'll be at the hospital, but you let me

know if anything comes to mind.

I know her parents will wanna know anything

we can tell them.

Monica.

Monica, where have you been?

Uh, Wendy said that you I know.

I know.

I came to talk to her, but

Look, it didn't make sense to me at first,

but I think I finally understand.

Wendy, she has something that she's been holding

over you, right?

She's been making you do stuff with the

other Omni alums, right?

Wendy hasn't been making me do anything.

Okay, I know that's a lie.

We have to stop her, we have to go

to the ethics council.

I heard you already tried that.

What?

Look at you.

So young,

and fresh, and new.

You should leave Lambda now before anyone else

gets hurt.

You're in over your head.

Brain still on fire?

I'm sorry I just need to calm down.

Cassie?

Yeah, um,

like I don't wanna impose, but

can I stay with you tonight?

Why?

What's wrong?

I can't stay at my place.

Of course.

Here, let me text you my address.

Uh, I'll explain when I get there.

Alright.

Hi.

Hi.

So I know you said nothing fancy,

but I went for Italian and I got a little

bit of everything.

-Thanks. -Mmhmm.

What is it?

-You okay? -Yeah.

No.

I really don't know.

Look, we are friends.

I wanna help, but maybe you should tell me

what's going on.

Okay.

Um, this is gonna sound crazy.

Mom?

I didn't wanna wake you.

Uh, shouldn't you be at work?

It's it's Friday.

It's okay, I got time off.

You're all that matters right now.

So you called my mother?

Well, you told me she was the person you trust most,

so no-brainer.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's disgusting what that woman is doing.

I didn't wanna bother you.

And I thought I could

handle it alone.

You're never alone.

Don't you know that?

So how do we stop her?

Wendy has eyes and ears everywhere.

Somehow she knew Lisa and I were going to the ethics

council uh, and then Lisa

The timing is awfully suspicious.

I really don't think she OD'd.

I think she was drugged like

like I was only maybe too much.

I just I can't prove any of it.

We have to get her to admit it.

It will be my word against hers and Lambda's

reputation is spotless.

What if someone else heard her?

I don't know.

Uh, the ethics council, I could invite them

to the masquerade gala.

And have her admit it when she didn't know

they were listening.

Yeah, if Wendy and I spoke in my room

and Iris Jennings was out on my patio,

she'd hear everything we said.

If you were bartending the gala, could you get

the members of the ethics council on to my patio?

Just pick a time, we'll be there.

Okay.

Uh, I wanna be there, too.

Wendy would know something was up.

She already doesn't like you, mom.

I'll be wearing a mask uh, and you need

someone who can circulate freely in case you run

into trouble.

It's the perfect plan, but how do we know

Wendy will confess?

She will if she thinks I'm finally willing

to play ball as far as Simon's concerned.

Hmm.

What about the ethics council?

What if they don't believe you're just playing along?

They could kick you out, too.

That's a chance I'm willing to take.

Not just for my sisters, but

for all the girls who will come after me.

Okay, that's everything for now.

Um, look I know

it's difficult, but this year's gala

has to be the best one ever for Lisa and for

all the sisters who aren't with us anymore.

For our sisters.

For our sisters.

Yeah, okay.

Uh, it's just

I've thought a lot about what you said

about making the most of my opportunities

and I decided you're right.

I'm surprised to hear you say so.

Frankly, I can't promise that those opportunities

are still available to you, Cassie, not after

what I heard about the other night.

Oh, see the other night?

I was startled by my visitor.

He didn't let me know he planned to stop by

or else I would have waited up for him

and in a prettier nightie.

But I'm really looking forward to seeing Simon

at the gala.

It's just something about a mask.

The excitement, the mystery, don't you agree?

Absolutely.

It's the best part of the party.

The surprise.

Well, I will make sure that Simon knows how much

you are looking forward to seeing him.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

I'm gonna make it right

for you and for all the girls.

-Hey, there. -Hey.

You okay?

I was just with Lisa again.

How's she doing?

You can still change your mind.

You know that, right?

I'm not letting another girl get hurt.

This, all of this,

it ends tonight.

Let's go.

So what do you think?

Looks good.

Told you we were the same size.

Oh.

Oh, the masks.

-I like the gold on you. -Thanks.

Wendy insisted.

Cassie,

if anything goes wrong, you call me,

okay?

-Don't try to be a hero -I know.

-Just call. -I know.

Remember the plan?

I love you.

I love you so much more.

I did not know that.

It makes sense with NY.

Yeah, and

Hey, Jill.

Nice to see back.

You guys enjoy.

Oh.

Hi, Miss Jennings, hello, Mr. Mueller.

-Thank you both for coming. -We're happy to be here.

Uh, follow me.

I'll show you to the bar.

No, no problem, no problem.

Excuse me. - Uh.

-Hi. -Charlie, this is Iris Jennings

And Martin Mueller of ethics council.

They're very important guests, so

Uh-huh.

Of course.

See you later.

See you then.

What can I get you?

Champagne? -Sounds good.

Excuse me.

Cassie.

Wendy told me I'd see you here in a gold mask.

You look stunning.

How are you?

-Great. -Yeah?

-Huh, enjoying the party? -Very much.

Hmm.

I hear we got our signals crossed.

Yeah, just a tiny misunderstanding.

But you're ready to go now.

I mean we could always slip away

into your room.

Oh well, I'm playing hostess, so I can't

There are plenty of girls here who could do that.

Oh, okay.

-No? -Whoa!

-Oh no. -Hey!

What the

Oh, oh let me,

get you something for that um

That's that's alright.

That's alright, it's okay.

I'll be back.

Yeah.

Thanks.

10:00 p.m. on the patio.

It's Monica.

Invitations?

Oh, I don't have one.

Well, look at that.

You need to ask her to leave.

Me?

There's a job to do and now you need to do it.

Monica, you're not supposed to be here.

Well, hello to you, too.

Look, I need to ask you to leave.

Go ahead.

You've been suspended from Lambda

and so you need to leave or else I'm gonna

Or else what?

I have to hand it to you, little.

I didn't think you could do it.

What?

Become me.

Alright, alright,

I'm going.

Great party, though.

Really, just topnotch.

Uh, right this way.

Can you follow me upstairs?

Great.

Excuse me, watch your step.

'Cause I get all my stuff from my alumnus.

I'd love to see it.

I need to speak with you in my room.

Now, is really not the time.

We both have other responsibilities

at the moment.

It's regarding my uh, summer employment.

Right this way.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

You said someone wanted to speak with us.

Yes.

A student really needs the guidance

of the ethics council.

She asked me to bring you up here, so that she

could explain.

Well, tell her to make an appointment with the office.

Wait!

Please, just give her another moment, alright?

This could make all the difference

for her and many other female students.

Please.

Now, what is this all about?

You've taken cold feet as far as that excuse is

gonna go.

I wanna know what I'm really bargaining for.

if I sleep with Simon Hughes, what do I get?

What do you want?

I want money, an allowance in cash.

Fine.

And not just that, I need help with my classes,

especially Organic Chemistry,

I need to get an A in that class.

Well, it's nothin' we haven't done before,

but you will need to attend that class, unless

of course Simon requires you for something else.

I'm proud of you, Cassie.

You're a smart woman.

Smart women do whatever it takes to get ahead.

Yes.

I believe you're right.

Hello, Wendy.

Iris?

What are you doing out on the

Apparently, getting the full picture

of the exploitation and abuses

that occur at Lambda.

Well, I don't know what you heard

but I can assure you that there's

Oh, you don't have to assure us of anything.

We heard enough.

You are suspended from your position.

An inquiry will be conducted and you will be

prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Wendy, what you have done to these girls

Not only that.

Two girls from Lambda have died and one

is still in a coma.

You can't possibly think that I had

I love my girls!

-I would never - Get the police.

Iris, I promise you

Cassie Thompson, correct?

You're expelled.

No, that's not fair!

Cassie was just acting a part, she didn't mean

anything she said.

You can't expel her.

Did you hear what this young woman said?

She not only was extorting money, but she was

conspiring to cheat to pass her classes.

But -It's okay, Charlie.

What are you doing over there?

Surprise.

Cassie and I realized at the last moment

I'd play the role with Wendy,

just in case

to avoid any misunderstandings.

We didn't have time to give you a heads up.

Uh, well, I can't expel you.

No, I'm afraid.

You're 20 years too late for that.

I heard what Wendy said about you bein' a smart woman.

I have to agree.

You thought of everything?

Not me.

We.

My mom, and Charlie, and I.

Thank you, all of you.

I can't believe you and your mom.

That was awesome.

You okay?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Mmhmm.

I love you.

You know that?

I love you, too.

Do you really think Wendy was behind those deaths?

I can't prove it, but hopefully the police will.

It's just too convenient for it to have not been her.

Yeah, but I think the library uh,

and the attack in the bathroom,

it doesn't make sense for Wendy to try to hurt you

when there was so much writing on you agreeing

to sleep with Simon.

Yeah, but who would do that to me?

I mean do you think it could have been a prank?

No way.

And what about Lisa?

You told me Wendy wasn't there when she got hurt.

Well, I'm sure the police will get

to the bottom of everything.

I don't wanna think about it anymore.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right.

Hmm.

Besides, I can think of much better

things to think about.

Oh, yeah?

Like what?

Like you and me finally being able to go on a date.

Not a coffee date, not a study date, a real date.

It does seem to be a much better thing to think about.

Charlie!

You.

Hello, little.

What are you doing?

I don't but I don't unders

It was it was you in the bathroom.

You tried to drown me.

I said you were in over your head,

but you don't listen.

Yeah, okay, okay, okay, you listen, listen.

Wendy can't make you do this, okay?

They they've arrested her.

She's been she's been taken to jail.

You don't know, do you?

This isn't about Wendy

or the sosh committee.

This is about him.

Him?

Simon, you idiot!

Wait, what?

We were gonna get married.

He was gonna leave his wife for me.

And then, he saw you.

Oh, Monica, please, please.

And everything changed.

Monica, listen.

There is nothing going on between me and Simon,

okay?

Oh please, I was there that night!

You were falling all over him!

What?

No, I had been roofied!

I wasn't coming on to him!

I suppose Wendy wanted to keep his money

in the house.

Look, okay, wait a minute.

Stop.

Okay, you don't need to do this.

Okay, you're not a killer.

No, see, that's where you're wrong, little.

When they asked me to take care of Kerrie to stop her

from exposing the sosh committee

But after I pushed her,

I realized that killing that looks hard,

but it's actually very easy.

First, it was Carrie, and then Sherri, though,

I thought she was you,

and then Lisa, and now you.

You'll die as the rest of all.

Cassie, open the door.

Good bye, little sister.

No!

The issues that surround exploitation are complex

and while this work is challenging,

new victories are being made every day.

Little by little and working together

as a sisterhood, we can make a real difference,

not only on campus but throughout the country.

Thank you.

Good job, Cass.

Oh, and thanks to our house mom

My real mom Debra and my Lambda sister Lisa

for organizing this event.

Great job.

We got done just in time, he'll be here any second.

Have fun, okay?

-Be careful. -Okay.

I love you.

-Love you more. - Oh.

Bye.

Hi, guys.

Sorry, I'm late.

-You look amazing. -Thank you.

Um, so where are we going on our first real date?

How do you feel about tapas?

You know, the finger food?

Sounds great, but why finger food?

No knives.

Are you okay to drive?

Oh, I mean yeah.

I made it here okay.

Maybe I should.
