From beginning my road trip to anders university.

Established in 1932.

I never thought I'd get this chance.

You have to- thanks.

You packed my whole bedspread?

I didn't need a private room, you know.

Oh, college is hard enough

Without playing roommate russian roulette.

Besides, you know, by next semester

You could be in a house.

Wow.

That was a record, you know?

Twenty minutes without mentioning pi gamma beta.

Impressive.

Mmm.

What if I'm not sorority material?

Right, yeah. I mean a legacy with a full scholarship?

You're just a dime a dozen.

Come on, any house would be lucky to have you, okay?

Okay.

So, I'm thinking that I'm going to go check into the hotel,

And maybe we can have dinner later?

If it's okay I'm just going to finish unpacking.

But we can totally tour the lineup tomorrow.

I know you wanted to do that.

I do, and I just, you know, you don't,

You don't have to start flying solo immediately.

You got that?

Yeah.

You all right?

Hey.

Mom, I will be okay without you.

I don't like hearing that.

I know.

But I love you so much.

I love you more.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Have a good dinner.

Okay, get a grip o'connor.

Smell: Mom's perfume.

Color: Pink suitcase.

Feel: Skin.

Hey.

Is there a wizard holding you hostage?

Um, well, you could have,

You could make it into a metaphor like that.

I was on my way to get dinner from the cafeteria

And I couldn't make it out the door.

Hmm.

Cafeteria food is to be feared.

Not what I meant, but, you know.

I think I know what you meant.

Severe gad.

Generalized anxiety disorder.

In more like a storm

Between me and everything, so.

Would it help if we walked together?

I don't think that's gonna happen tonight.

But you can go, I'll, I'll, I'll be fine.

I mean yeah, you will, but you'll also be super hungry.

And so, organic chemistry, rock climbing, softball.

So you're a nerd and an athlete?

Is that what you're telling me?

Yeah, well, still the least impressive in my family.

My mom is a literal brain surgeon.

Stop.

Mm-hmm.

My dad too, but he died what I was like two.

In a car accident.

I am so sorry.

I don't really have many memories of him,

But, you know, my mom and I are close.

Relatively functional.

Yeah, my father's practically disowned me for coming here.

Why? Cause you left home?

He thinks the amount of debt I'll be racking up

For a journalism degree is irresponsible.

Hmm.

I'm the first in my family to go to college.

Wow. Now that is legendary.

Thank you.

Yeah, I think my dad feels like I'm judging him,

Even though he's a self-made business man

Whom I respect the hell out of.

It still implies they're not enough.

Yeah.

My mom is the complete opposite.

She kept saying that she'd be fine if I took a year off,

But the more she said it...

The less you believe her.

Yeah.

Family is a damn minefield.

[laughing] yeah.

Silver lining though,

My dad keeps me hella motivated.

And I keep my head down and be published

Before I've even graduated.

Hmm?

But you're gonna have a little fun on the way, right?

Yeah.

I mean I'm gonna try and embrace the university experience.

Why?

You got big plans?

[laughs]

Oh, hello.

Were you reaching for this?

And my hand is underneath yours.

So? I had it first.

Do you need it for class? 'cause I need it for class.

Why I need it is irrelevant.

Your hand is still on my hand.

Is this your move?

My move?

No, but, lovely accidents do happen.

Nate simpson.

No name?

Cold. That's cold.

I'm accidentally playing hard to get.

Riley: Olivia! Hey!

Olivia, it's beautiful.

Suits you perfect.

Olivia, this is my mom. And this is...

Nate simpson.

Hi.

Your friend here stole my books, so,

Now I owe her some coffee.

That's my kind of logic.

Enjoy your day.

Olivia.

Excuse me, did you just meet a man in a bookstore,

Okay, and I'm the nerd?

He was just being nice.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you dr. O'connor.

Come here and give me a hug.

-Hi! -Hey!

Signature mocktail?

Thank you.

A sorority lineup. Wow.

Well, riley is in legacy.

I was pi gamma beta.

Does that mean you're in automatically?

It helps for sure, but, you know,

I still have to go through recruitment.

So step one, you apply to all the houses you're interested in.

Step two, you attend events,

You know, try and be as impressive as you possibly can.

If they really like you, you're invited to step three,

Which is the bid. Stressful.

Okay, so, really, you could be invited to six houses

Or none at all?

Yeah, basically I've tried to prepare for every eventuality.

Oh, I just remembered, rosa denude is here

And I'm a big fan of their philanthropy work.

So, I'm gonna go.

-Okay. -Okay.

I'll be back though, promise.

Sorority sister to surgeon.

That is impressive, dr. O'connor.

Well, I'm not really an anomaly.

I mean, let's look at kamala harris, right,

All the way to the vice presidency.

Touché, touché.

Some of the houses are about parties but,

Most of them are filled

With very smart and ambitious young women.

You would actually probably fit right in.

Thank you. It's lovely of you to say.

[phone vibrating]

Sorry, I should...

Yeah, no, go.

I'll just be over here, reliving my youth.

Got it. Yes!

Olivia rivera!

We were so hoping you would show up.

Good news?

Yeah.

Sorry, do I know you?

Not yet, olivia. But I know you.

100,000 followers on insta.

The published expose on your city counsellor.

Cheating bastard.

And your anders entrance essay was phenomenal.

You have such a strong voice.

How in the hell did you read my entrance essay?

Jasmine foyle.

Current head of recruitment for pi gamma beta.

Do you have a minute?

-Wow -oh my.

Katherine o'connor?

Georgia.

Wow. I thought that you were in new york, doing pr.

Can you believe?

I am the chapter advisor here on campus.

It's like nothing's ever changed.

This is paige.

The pi gamma beta secretary.

Welcome.

Hi, this is my daughter-

Riley.

Daughter of famous dr. O'connor is not to be forgotten.

Katherine, how would you like to bid

On some of our auction items?

We've got spa days, four courses at my favorite restaurant,

All for charity.

Spa day for us?

Absolutely.

-Yeah, I got this. -Thanks mom.

So paige, how long have you been a member of-

How crazy.

We have two legacies and two science majors

In the same place.

Riley, you and mya are basically the same person.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Well it depends.

Are you good at winning competitions, or not?

Yeah.

-I'll just sign in now. -Mmmhmm.

So, you want me to join?

I'm like the least likely sorority girl ever.

Which makes you all the more interesting.

Yeah, I feel like you're trying to collect me.

We're very selective

About whom we invite into the pi gamma beta family, olivia.

We're known for our ambition.

We pick people who will elevate the house.

Like you.

Yeah, I just came with a friend, so.

Riley o'connor.

Aw, I'm freaking you out.

Oh, first days on campus can be overwhelming

And you didn't have anyone to tell you

What to expect, did you?

No, how..

We'll let you get your feet under you.

But please, consider it, olivia.

We'd love to have someone of your caliber in pi gamma beta.

Olivia: She knew things about me,

Things I do not share on social media.

And she kept saying my name over and over and over.

There's a psychological trick. It builds rapport.

It means she actually liked you.

From what I hear, this jasmine has really brought like

Pi gamma beta back to life again.

I mean, listen, check out its alumnus.

-Okay, so, two congress women. -Mmmhmm.

An editor of the new york times.

Woah, woah, woah, wait. Jill saunders?

The documentary filmmaker?

Yeah, we're friends.

Her first film made me want to go into journalism.

Any chance you could make an introduction?

Hmm.

Hell week is an opportunity. Golden hour.

Let me dig in-

To what?

The row is locked down.

You won't get anything but dating stats and gossip.

Hi, jamie, I'm olivia rivera. I've-

Got our coveted first year assistant gig.

You don't start until next week.

I was wondering if I could run

Some potential story ideas by you?

Assistants don't pitch or write.

Your job will be to proof and fact check.

So I shouldn't pursue a possible interview with jill saunders?

You set that up yourself?

Mm-hmm.

I like the initiative.

But if you'd done your homework,

You'd know we ran a story with jill last year.

Jamie: We'll set you up with access to our back issues,

Then we can talk more next week.

Cool?

Yeah.

Hey, olivia, hold on.

Are you gonna be a problem for me, bookstore guy?

Are you going to be a problem for you?

The saunders interview was on point.

You have great instincts.

Right. Were you in that room just a moment ago?

Jamie will let you write if you find something undeniable.

A story only you can write.

You want to write about hell week.

There's some rumors I think might be worth chasing.

What kind of rumors?

Two years ago, paramedics showed up to a house on sorority row,

Along with campus security, and the police.

Which house?

Pi gamma beta.

Right. Of course.

Your friend's a legacy, huh?

What is she getting herself into?

Halloween night.

Nate: The story going was the girl was badly injured

In some sort of accident in the woods.

Apparently, dozens of people were there,

But when the dust settled, no one will talk.

In the end, the university tried to pass it off

As a jogger injured herself.

Neither changed their story.

How many joggers run at midnight?

Through the woods, on Halloween?

We are going to talk about something

Other than work after this.

Like, your family or your school,

Or even your favorite color.

Okay.

Mmmm.

So there have been other weird incidents at pgb.

A friend of mine was coming down from the city

And he said he heard screaming.

Like, bloody murder level screaming,

Coming from the house.

-Did he call security? -Mm-mm.

He went and checked on them first.

The girl who answered the door said

She's watching a horror movie.

Creepy, but not definitive.

Am I going to regret telling you all this?

Yellow.

Yellow?

My favorite color.

And, I went to a small public school

That always smelt like floor wax and gym socks.

Floor wax and gym socks, huh?

Well thank you, thank you for sharing

That very intimate detail with me.

I'm honored.

[laughs]

Thanks so much for being my wing woman.

Situations like this are not the easiest for me.

Hey, I'm intrigued.

I want to know, are we stealing the declaration of independence?

Sacrificing kittens?

Thank you all for coming.

And welcome to pi gamma beta's annual capture the flag event.

Boundaries are from the house,

Through the woods to the main park,

Obstacle course is fair game.

And thank you to gabriel and his tau alpha brothers

For helping us set up.

Anything for our sisters.

Jasmine: I won't say that the woman who wins

Will earn their membership...

Thank you.

But it certainly won't hurt your bid.

[whispers]

Red team.

Paige: Mya.

Blue team.

Let's see who winds up on top.

It's not too tight, is it?

Woah, hey, yo frat man.

Only got one red flag.

Excuse me.

Happy hunting.

Hey baby.

[grunts]

Oh!

Better run!

Olivia: It's just a game.

A game we're gonna win!

Come on!

I need a diversion.

You know, even at that height, if you slip-

I'm not gonna slip.

I just need to make sure

Those blue goons are occupied, okay?

You go that way, I'll go this way.

Okay.

I got it!

Woo!

They're a force to be reckoned with.

Olivia certainly is.

It was o'connor who got the flag.

Only cause rivera let her.

Quite right, mya.

I wonder what riley would have done on her own though.

Mya, every year there are spiders and there are flies.

Do you want to learn how to be a spider?

Hell yeah.

Right answer.

Focus on what you sense around you, okay?

Smell, see, hear...

[laughs]

[phone vibrates]

No.

I only have an invitation from pgb.

That's your top choice, right?

Must have done something wrong.

You didn't do anything wrong.

They dig into your life,

Social media, school transcripts and, and extracurriculars.

Hey, hey, hey.

What if I don't get into pi gamma beta after round two?

You will.

You are 100 percent perfect for pi gamma.

You're o'connor tradition!

Which makes me worried they're gonna chose me

Because of my mother and, and not because of me.

What, what if they, what if they all know about my anxiety?

You don't have to keep it a secret,

It's, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

You're not the one who has to experience living with it.

You know, people say exactly that all the time

And then they stop texting.

I didn't mean to make it sound trivial.

But I know, with certainty, that you are worthy of pgb.

With or without your mom.

Why are you so invested anyway?

I thought you were just my wing woman?

I may have changed my mind.

Yes!

[laughing]

Oh, my goodness.

This is gonna be amazing!

Ooh, hot, ladies.

Come on, man.

Both: Shut up!

How jasmine can date him is beyond me.

He's gross.

Mm-hmm.

Gabriel is kind of cute though.

Oooh!

Stop it.

Oh.

Katherine: Hey ri.

Hey, guess who's going to go out for pgb with me?

Only took a little arm twisting.

And a look at the fancy house.

Well, that's wonderful.

[notification alert]

See ya around, dr. O. Call you later.

Okay, bye!

My board is clear tomorrow,

I was thinking that I would drive up

And maybe we could go and have lunch.

Are you free?

Okay, love you babe.

Hey, babe!

Hey.

I appreciated the please in my summoning text.

Oh, it wasn't meant to be a command.

Sure it was.

A taste of what is to come, right?

Any rituals I should know about?

Hazing, maybe?

Oh, pi gamma beta does not practice or condone hazing.

Period.

Why am I here, exactly?

Officially, I can't promise a bid,

But, we do reiterate our interest in you, olivia.

We're hesitating when it comes to riley o'connor though.

We're not sure she wants it.

She seems guarded.

Are you asking me if she has something to hide?

Frankly, yes.

Pi gamma beta doesn't need more damage.

Riley is not damaged.

Not what I said.

It's my job to protect the house.

Okay, riley is concerned

That pi gamma beta will choose her because of her mom.

That's why she seems hesitant.

That explains a lot.

Hm.

Quite noble.

Riley's great, you'd be lucky to have her.

And you?

You've changed your mind,

Or you wouldn't have come running.

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe 'cause it's new and exciting.

Maybe it's because joining a sorority

Will further piss off my dad.

We have something in common then.

Being here drove a wedge between me and my family.

My sister, we don't even talk anymore.

Oh.

Ouch.

Pi gamma beta opened my eyes to what I was allowed to want.

They are my family now.

And they could be yours too.

And riley's?

Where she goes I go.

You have been chosen, and now, you must choose.

Is this even going to be safe?

The world isn't safe,

Which is why we are more important than ever.

Take off your shoes.

The three pillars of pi gamma beta are

Commitment, perseverance and most importantly, trust.

Trust yourself and trust your sisters.

Nothing is compulsory.

Choose to take steps forward despite fear of pain.

Sorry, I'm a dancer, I can't.

Maybe we try out that new brunch place?

Yes please.

I'm not smothering you?

No, you're not smothering me.

Oh good.

Can I get pancakes and waffles, eggs and bacon?

Yes.

And whip cream.

Yes, you may.

Thank you.

As long as you're not a brat.

Ah! When am I ever?

[laughing]

All right. I love you.

I love you too.

Okay.

See you in a couple weeks.

See you, mom. Bye.

If riley tells them what you're doing...

Hell hath no fury like a sorority exposed.

I'm aware.

Yes, but not just pi gamma beta.

You have evidence of hazing already.

That is a threat to the whole row, liv.

It's riley I'm more worried about.

There's a distinct possibility she will never trust me again.

You look into this photo of this dahlia chick?

Yeah, she's a ghost.

No social media presence,

No archived history on the feed.

Literally, if I didn't have that photo

I'd say she didn't even exist.

She must be a stick of dynamite, ready to blow.

She's who the ambulance was for.

I'll ask around.

You can't erase people's memories.

No. I don't want you getting involved.

I already put riley in an awful position.

Hey, hey, hey.

You don't have to ask for anything.

Remember that time that we established that I like you?

This is a move, huh?

You could just take me out to dinner.

Dinner?

I could do dinner.

What about if I cook in my place tonight?

You cook too?

Please, remove that look of shock and awe on your face.

I am very much a modern dude, you know.

Oh. Okay.

You've put on a few champagne pounds.

I'm not a new member.

Oh, everybody needs a little re-motivation when they slip.

You're not actually going to do this, are you?

Well, I don't have any issues with my body, so yeah.

This isn't a team building exercise, riley.

It just felt really good to be wild and unafraid, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, and I never should have kept what I was doing

A secret from you.

Poking around, I'm sorry.

And I understand why you did.

I mean, I can see the headline.

Under-covering what's rotten in the state of pi gamma beta?

There is something rotten.

I mean, like, they wrap up all these humiliations

Like they're self-improvement.

So, we say no, draw the line.

You're ready to lose your spot?

Maybe that's the better ending to this story.

Or, we could change things from the inside.

You know, if we get enough people on board,

They can't kick out all of us.

Maybe.

But, mya might be beyond saving though.

Mm-mm. No, it's paige.

Paige wants me to quit

And she's using mya to make me do it.

Why does she want you to quit?

I don't know, 'cause to them I'm flawed and cracked.

Hey, don't say that.

And what confuses me is

Why I even made it through recruitment in the first place.

It doesn't matter.

We're gonna do this, shake up the system.

Detective singh.

Georgia, I am the chapter advisor.

Hi.

These are the ladies.

Ladies I am terribly sorry for your loss this morning.

Now this might be the last thing you want to do right now,

But I need to get a better picture of riley o'connor.

The county coroner will be making an official ruling,

But it looks pretty conclusive.

Suicide?

What can you tell me about her?

She was smart, but worked hard.

University hadn't been easy.

Paige: She really struggled with anxiety.

She took medication for it.

So you did know about that?

Riley opened up to us about it not long ago.

But we all saw the signs.

You've been worried about her,

That's why you were so protective, wasn't it?

What time did riley go back to her dorm last night?

I, I don't remember.

9:00 pm.

It was a normal night.

Yeah, normal except for the party.

What party, olivia?

There was a party, logan was here,

Paige and I chugged cranberry and vodka.

Logan and I broke up, olivia, remember?

He hasn't been here since.

And we chugged straight cranberry.

Zero sugar makes it so sour, but it doesn't do any harm.

Hey, if you and riley drank in your dorms it's your business.

She won't get in trouble for underaged drinking?

That's not what I'm after, right now.

Detective singh: Did riley drink?

No, no, no way.

She put me to bed and then,

Then she told me that she was going to go find mya.

That's not possible,

Mya went home yesterday morning after the group event.

She wasn't even on campus last night.

Sweetie, I think you're confused.

I don't, I don't, I don't remember, I'm sorry.

I can't, I can't do this.

I need a break.

♪

[katherine sobbing]

It's me.

I'd just like to be alone, please.

I can wait outside, if you want.

No, you can stay.

I'm used to being on the other side,

You know, the person...

Giving good news, bad news. Hold their hand.

Being on this side, just...

I feel lost.

When riley's dad died...

I had to take care of her, but now it's like I have...

Did she tell you she was stopping her medication?

No.

Riley wouldn't do that without talking to you or her doctors.

Well I found pills in the bathroom on the floor

And the bottle was empty.

I don't.

I don't understand.

I guess mental health is very complex.

Even for somebody like riley.

No.

No what, liv?

No.

No. She didn't, riley didn't jump.

I don't know what happened but riley did not jump.

♪

Katherine, paige lied about that night, about the party.

Something happened during the time that I lost.

Riley did not take her own life.

The coroner was conclusive.

I just, I'm, I missed the signs.

I'm not talking about missed signs,

I'm talking about a cover up.

Just stop.

Enough.

I get that you are grieving,

And if you need to blame someone, I'm it.

No. Riley loved you.

And you know 100 percent she'd be friggen furious

If she heard you saying that you were to blame for her brain...

Stop!

And you know...

Just stop.

Please.

Look, someone knows what happened.

Liv, pgb does not break rank.

No.

They keep their secrets close.

That's why I'm moving into the house.

♪

Come on.

Georgia: Katherine.

I heard the service at the funeral was beautiful.

Did you get my flowers?

Yes. Um,

I would like to question pi gamma beta.

Question? About what?

The possibility of riley being hazed.

It is university policy to shut down any house

That engages in hazing.

I don't ask this lightly.

It's a very significant accusation.

It's a pretty significant issue, georgia.

Of course.

It's just... It wouldn't happen in that house.

Not with jasmine at the head.

She was bullied in her first year here.

So then she should understand why I need to talk to them.

Okay, well if it's something that you think will help you.

Yes.

Let's go talk to the girls.

Thank you.

Georgia: I know that you're all grieving,

But riley's mother has a very serious question to ask you all.

And it is very important

That you answer as truthfully as possible.

Georgia: Was riley o'connor being hazed?

Now, as you all are no doubt aware,

Hazing threatens the entire greek way of life,

And your futures.

None of you have to answer right now,

Okay, we can speak to you individually.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

I disagree.

I mean there's no way to protect..

Everyone will speak the truth, mrs. O'connor.

Won't we, ladies?

So, were any of you ever hazed?

Forced to do anything that you are uncomfortable with?

Tory?

No, ma'am.

Listen, I know that this is uncomfortable,

Okay, and I sympathize with you,

Just remember, I'm one of you.

I... I loved this house too,

But my daughter is dead and there are holes missing

In my understanding of what happened.

She was sick, wasn't she?

Riley had a generalized anxiety disorder

And in my opinion was not unstable.

Well, maybe she stopped taking her meds?

You wouldn't necessarily know if she had, would you?

We're all upset, dr. O'connor,

But we weren't there when riley died

And there was no hazing.

Jasmine: Surely you've spoken with olivia?

She and riley were so close.

Miss rivera?

What do you have to say?

No. It's exactly like I told you, dr. O'connor.

There has been no hazing in pi gamma beta.

She asked us about hazing in front of everyone.

It was a friggen joke.

It's not just the house than wants this buried,

It's georgia, it's the whole friggen system.

Nate: Where are you?

I'm in the bathroom.

I don't know when I'll be allowed to leave this place.

[phone vibrates]

Holy crap. Someone just dm'd me.

"I knew dahlia, pi gamma beta not safe for you."

Nate: Who is it from?

It's a fake name.

Argonaut 777.

They want to meet me.

Nate: Does that matter now?

With riley...

Finding out what happened to dahlia might give me leverage.

If they went through all that trouble to bury the story...

[muffled voice]

I'm gonna go for a run and just think this through.

Paige!

Can I help you?

Just checking on you.

Glad you were a team player today.

Do you know whether dr. O'connor is gonna keep causing problems?

She is just grieving.

Right.

Yeah, well her paranoia could affect all our futures, so.

We've decided that no one should speak to her anymore,

Including you.

Can you handle that?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Great.

I'm gonna be right back but I have to go find mya,

All right, just rest.

♪

♪

Mya.

Find mya.

Who's mya?

She's another new member, she was riley's rival, kinda.

Jasmine and paige swear she wasn't at the party but she was.

I know it.

Okay, listen to me,

Georgia said something about jasmine being bullied

In her first year.

I'm starting to think that maybe she's being manipulated,

And the girl, the girl who knows riley's medications.

Paige.

Yes. Paige.

Just stay away from her.

Okay?

Be really, really careful.

She thinks she's untouchable and that's super dangerous.

Katherine: Be careful, olivia, please.

Katherine, I'm sorry,

You're gonna have to make an appointment with my secretary.

Your questioning of the girls was a joke.

Darling, they all agreed.

Olivia rivera even said, there was no hazing.

Clear as a bell.

Stop it. There is no anonymity.

All right, no protection.

You intimidated them the minute that you walked in the door.

I was simply reminding them of the stakes involved, katherine.

What stakes?

And stakes for who, you?

I mean, my memory of our time at pi gamma,

It must be faulty, or at least narrow, right.

I mean, I was so busy with my studies

That I didn't ask jill why she cried herself to sleep every single night.

Or why your friend stacey lost 20 lbs in the first semester.

Pi gamma beta was a positive influence.

Stacey is a corporate lawyer now.

You don't have to be a size 0 to be an attorney.

Katherine...

I'm starting to think that you need to speak

To someone professional.

I do, I need to speak to mya,

She was a new member just like riley.

I already set up a meet with the girls.

I don't want to interrupt their schedules anymore.

Okay. Mya wasn't there.

Conveniently.

And for some strange reason,

All of pi gamma beta's numbers are deleted from riley's phone.

It just sounds paranoid.

I am not paranoid.

I am a mother.

Well, you know that I can't give sisters' contact information.

Riley's gone because she killed herself.

Now, we intend to give a sizable donation in riley's name

For the study of bipolar disorder.

We do mourn her, katherine.

She was not bipolar!

She had an anxiety disorder

And if you cared at all you would know that.

Bitch!

In her blood stream and the doctors had to remove splinters

From her left shin.

She went up the wall too.

Yeah.

She came down alive.

What the hell did they do to my daughter?

Riley used to climb all the time.

There was no way that she would climb without safety gear.

Mya didn't like her.

She saw her has a rival.

I'm gonna call detective singh and just tell her what we found.

Katherine, they didn't just go out for a climb.

You're riley's mom. Aren't you?

They watch you.

They meaning pi gamma?

Clearly you've been asking the right questions.

Somehow that's not really a comfort.

We shouldn't be doing this.

Gabe.

It is the right thing to do.

Gabriel heard this guy nate asking around about me.

Realized he was your boyfriend.

You're both with the review?

Why are you digging?

Is it just for a story?

Social media?

No. No, it started as a story.

Now it's about the truth.

I don't think my friend, riley, took her own life.

I think pgb made it look that way.

Olivia has this theory about pi gamma and hazing

And you were a part of it.

You got hurt, didn't you?

And jasmine covered it up.

Neither of us knows what happened to riley, okay?

But we do know what happened on Halloween 2019.

I was chapter president,

Jasmine and I were competitive, so similar.

We had to distinguish ourselves.

So, I took advantage during a hazing.

Mystery sister: Uh, uh uh.

Remove that blinder and it's all over, bitch.

Go ahead, we don't want your brand anyway.

Quitter.

[screams] ahhhh!!!!!

Dahlia: She broke her leg.

Dahlia called an ambulance

But jasmine lied about how she did it.

I was ready to confess everything.

So she buried her own hazing?

She said "I shouldn't make the house pay for my mistake."

Always protect the family, but she threw you under the bus.

She made it look like it was just me.

That I bullied her because she was my sister.

Pgb sent tau alpha to intimidate you.

You were one of the dudes in the hoodies?

I'm sorry.

Gabriel has a full ride on a football scholarship.

No one is gonna know that we spoke.

Olivia is very good at protecting her sources.

And thank you, for doing right by riley and me.

Let's get you out of here, now.

Definitely.

I'll be two minutes.

Cool.

Hey!

Logan: We got her.

Get rid of nate!

Pull over!

-Come on! Come on!! -Hey!

What are you doing, man?

This isn't part of the plan.

You've been digging around in pi gamma beta business

Ah!

Logan, I don't even need to see you to know it's you.

You are such a lapdog.

Logan: Shut up!

He said that you'd been dumped and abandoned out here.

Okay, this is, this is it.

We're handing it over to the police.

No, no, no. No.

Olivia!

You're in real danger.

Actual bodily harm got sustained.

They did everything I needed them to.

Now I know pi gamma beta is scared

And when you're scared, you make mistakes.

They just made a big one.

We'll talk about this.

Jasmine: Paige, you back?

I think they're all out at the movies.

Just me.

What are you doing, sitting here in the dark like a freak?

I was taking a breather.

Recovering from that one time when I was abducted.

Tossed out of a van.

Oh my god, olivia, what happened?

I know about dahlia.

She was your own sister and you used her mistake,

A hazing gone wrong, a broken leg,

To get her kicked out of the house.

Dahlia was stupid.

She panicked.

Called an ambulance.

I saved the house by covering up,

Which is what she should have done.

And now you're covering up again.

Riley did not go up that wall by herself.

Honey, we will never know exactly what happened.

Because, you'll never tell.

Except your boy logan, he's not as smart as you.

[clears throat]

You've been digging around in pi gamma beta business

That isn't yours.

Aw.

And I also gave him a good raking with my nails.

Police will have no trouble identifying him.

Or, I post all of that, a 100,000 followers

Are gonna know that your boyfriend is a psycho.

Okay.

Okay.

Riley came back from putting you to bed

Then mya and riley played some truth or dare game.

Mya messed with riley's head

And got riley to admit to being mentally ill.

Liar.

Riley was fragile, olivia.

She took her own life, okay,

Just because you don't like that,

It doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Mya had broken fingers, torn tendons,

Injuries suffered by climbers all the time.

She went up that wall too, jasmine.

Oh god.

It was an accident.

An accident?

Paige egged them on.

And they were drunk and tired.

Mya made it up and down again.

Riley didn't.

So paige made it look like a suicide

And by the time I found out about it, it was too late.

Olivia, I am so sorry.

Bitch.

You're not the only one who can pit people against each other.

Paige, uh, how long have you been there?

Long enough to hear you stab me in the back.

If you won't tell the whole truth, I will.

I put them up to it.

I challenged mya to climb all the way up.

I've climbed it before, I just, I don't like heights.

You're scared.

Riley knows all about that.

Referring to my anxiety?

Calling it scared is inaccurate, and frankly ignorant.

Careful, riley, we might start to think

That you have a back bone.

You have no rope, and you've been drinking.

Do not get up that wall.

Please.

Don't you want to overcome your fears?

There's a big difference between overcoming her fears

And doing something completely stupid and unsafe.

Mya? Mya.

You go up that wall or you're out of the house.

You know what, riley can do it with you.

She clearly knows what she's talking about.

Good idea.

No.

Riley: Don't.

Paige: Aww. Whaa!

Mya, stop!

Good girl!

[laughing]

There's one right there.

[screaming] ah!!! Ah!!!

[jasmine & paige laughing]

Come on, mya!

Always forward, always up!

Look, you know what, find your footing.

There's a hold right there.

I can't move.

I'm hurt, my wrist.

Oh, don't be a little bitch, mya.

You have to climb, you're almost all the way up.

Shut up, okay!

She's frozen, she's done.

Look at her!

She's not going anywhere.

Yelling at her is not going to help.

[jasmine & paige laughing]

Oh god, I might throw up.

Deep breaths, all right?

[inhales] in.

[exhales] out.

Up the wall or out of the house, mya.

We need you to put your left shoulder on my right shoulder, okay?

And I'm gonna support you and we're gonna do this together.

We're sisters, okay?

You got me?

Yeah, I got you.

Good.

Okay.

Good.

We're almost there.

-Keep going. -Okay.

Keep going.

Riley: Remember to breath.

You're almost there, mya.

You can do it.

When you get up there,

I really need you to not panic, mya.

Find your footing, okay?

Mya!

[screams] ahh!!!

Riley landed and I knew, from the sound, from the...

I knew.

Did you try cpr?

Did you check for a pulse?

I thought if we touched her they would know it wasn't a suicide.

Paige: Well give her cpr, she could be unconscious!

Look, do something!

She's dead, paige!

Look at her head!

Paige: Dead?

Jasmine: No, no, no, no, no, no.

Just try!

If I try, I'll leave bruises.

And they'll know what you did.

What mya did.

What are you even saying?

Up the wall or out of the house, that's what you said, paige.

And mya... Mya kicked her.

They'll say you're both culpable.

[sobbing] this can't be happening.

No.

It's not happening.

Listen to me, we were never here.

I fought so hard to restore its reputation.

Vulnerable sister into climbing a two-story wall.
