Original subtitles

Stay away from me!

Please, please, I just don't wanna belong anymore, please.

I'm so scared. I'm so scared.

Please leave me alone.

Please, just leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

Mom?

What are you doing over here?

Just reminiscing.

This garden was always my favorite place.

Well?

I got the reporter gig. I'm gonna cover

in General Campus News.

Honey, that's wonderful.

I'm telling you, that's your ticket

to some big scholarships.

Next year, you won't even need a college loan.

Isn't this fun?

Just you and I, we're together at the same college?

Let's go check it out.

Jennie!

It's so good to finally meet you.

I hope you find your years here as rewarding

as your mom did.

The bull?

It's still here.

The bull?

That's where your dad and I first met.

It was the day after I moved here from South Africa

and I was a nervous wreck.

New school, new country, but he made me feel right at home.

Oh, if you could only see us both here today.

I understand his passing last year was very sudden?

Hm.

Our clinic is beyond lucky to have someone

of your caliber on its staff.

Please, I'm head physician of a student health center,

which is basically a fancy way

of saying I hand out free condoms and treat STDs.

Jennie, if you ever need anything, just call.

I'm not just your college advisor,

I am also your friend, and that goes for you too.

Oh, thank you Dyan. I'll see you soon.

Can we wait out here a minute?

This isn't like high school.

College students are more mature.

They won't bully you or make fun or...

I know that. I am not worried.

We don't get many chances in our life

to completely start over.

College isn't just about books,

it's about experiences and trying new things.

In fact, I may just quit my job and enroll here myself.

Ah, is that a smile?

Hmm?

I saw it, too late, that was a smile.

Oh, this isn't so bad.

Are you kidding me?

It's a dump.

You must be Jennie.

I'm Tobi.

Excuse the towel.

The showers only have hot water in the afternoon.

So. Cute shoes, what size are you?

- Size 8. - Me too.

I always wanted a pal who wore the same size as me.

This way, we can double our wardrobe.

I mean, if you want to.

Sure.

That sounds great. Yay.

Well, if you need anything,

I'll be at the clinic until eight.

The clinic? Mmhmm.

Are you the new doctor?

Ah, started today.

Oh, thank God.

The old guy who used to run that place was so judgmental.

You visit the clinic a lot?

Only when I get the crabs.

Kidding.

I'm not a skank.

I promise, I won't be a bad influence on your daughter.

Well, maybe a little bad.

Well, have fun girls.

Bye. Bye.

So I take it you're one of those girls

whose mom is their best friend?

Not really.

Actually, I was closer to my dad before he died.

Who's this?

I guess she's not your friend anymore?

You'd have to ask Emma.

She was my former roommate and I thought my best friend

until she ghosted me like I lent her money or something.

You kinda look like her.

I mean, like before she dyed her hair blonde.

Where do you think she went?

Who knows?

She probably dropped out.

Happens to a lot of freshmen.

Foxworth is notorious for weeding out the dumdums.

How tough are we talking?

You'll see. Good luck.

All right everybody, listen up.

The moment you've all been waiting for, your test results.

Yes, don't look too excited.

All right, as I pass these out,

please finish up the experiments, okay?

And if you forgot how to do that,

you are gonna take the pipette with the potassium iodide.

Then you're gonna put that in the solution,

record those results, okay?

Shouldn't be too difficult.

You have any problems, let me know.

Good work.

Oof.

Someone didn't follow instructions.

Easy there, fire starter.

You're in the big leagues now.

Oh, look at that, everybody.

Class is over,

but make sure you do your homework over the weekend

'cause I will be checking it on Monday.

All right?

Sound good? Great.

I hear Professor Vandever is dating a student.

She asked him to give her an A

and he ended up giving her some D instead.

Do you get it?

What's wrong? This.

No big deal.

I used to suck at school, too.

That was before Athena.

Athena?

Who's she? A tutor?

Athena's not a woman.

Well, actually, it's a lot of women.

Athena's like a sorority that's not a sorority.

You should come check it out tonight.

I can bring a guest.

Okay. Yay. Yes.

Well, Francine isn't a writer, she never was.

Hey, listen up.

Jay, I want you to cover the governor's visit.

Jennie, I want you to interview the female umpire

speaking at Market Hall tonight.

Remember, be good, be careful, be different, get the story.

That's all.

Teri, I can't do a story tonight.

I have another engagement.

What could be more important

than doing your job with the paper?

I'm going to the study group thing with my roommate.

If I don't do better in chemistry, I'll flunk out.

Study group wouldn't happen to be with Athena, would it?

Fine.

I'll reassign your story and let you go to Athena

if you ask the girls there about Emma.

The girl that lived in your dorm before you?

She was a good friend of mine and then she got involved

with Athena and no one has seen her since.

What are you talking about? That's not the story.

I almost tripped today, and I almost broke my neck

and it almost like, looks like I have a hickey.

Do you think I have a hickey?

- I don't see anything. - Okay, good.

Because that would be the worst thing ever.

I mean, not the worst thing, but like, anyway.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Nevermind.

Okay, we need to focus.

Do you have a date later?

No. Why?

You always get this dressed up to come study here?

Just wait until you see the inside.

Are you here for the study group?

Yeah. Come on in.

Study group, party, same thing.

Come on over and meet Susan.

Tobi, what are you doing here?

How are your exams going?

I have all A's and one B.

That's not all A's,

but I'll let you off the hook this time.

Hi.

Wow, you have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen.

I'm jealous.

You must be Susan.

My name's not Susan, I'm Lynda.

Lynda is our fearless leader.

And also a senior at Foxworth.

For the third time.

Who needs the real world when you can stay in college?

I'm Susan.

You two have to get a massage from Rico.

He's the best.

Sure, but when do we study?

Books later.

But first, we relax, we pig out and we dance.

Help us beat our likes.

How many likes do we have to beat?

1.2 million.

Five, six, seven, eight.

I'm gonna find a bathroom. - There's 17.

Hello?

Anyone here?

Are you hurt?

I just wanna help.

Jennie.

There you are.

We're gonna play croquet and need one more player.

Wanna join?

By the way, what are you doing in my office?

I was looking for a bathroom

when I heard someone crying in here.

The bathroom's right there.

Must have missed it.

I swore I heard somebody.

The only one who will be crying is Lynda

when we kick her butt.

Besides, there's no one here.

Everyone's downstairs.

Come on.

Norma.

Shh, it's not good to make yourself so upset.

Did you send him the text?

I'm still working on it.

Give me that.

"TJ, I love you so much,"

but my classwork is too much right now

"for me to have a boyfriend."

That's not what I told you to write.

Why do I have to break up with him?

We've been dating since high school.

I'm in love with him.

TJ, it's over.

The only reason I dated you

was because I felt sorry for you.

You're bad in bed,

and I fell in love with someone else and he's really big.

No, don't say that.

It's the only way to guarantee he doesn't take you back.

No self-respecting Athena sister

is in a serious relationship while she's in college.

Do you wanna stay in the group or not?

So send him the text.

Then clean yourself up and come outside.

And spit out that stupid gum.

Go Jennie, go Jennie.

You can do it.

Yay, get it girl.

Did I win? Yes.

Did I really win? Yes!

You for sure were.

Jennie, what happened?

What's wrong?

Did one of the girls do something?

No, everyone's been wonderful.

I didn't know it could be like this, to feel popular.

High school was rough, wasn't it?

This is the first time I've heard girls laughing

and didn't assume they were making fun of me.

Aw.

I really like it here.

Can I come back?

Only official members get to visit the house

more than once.

Some even live here, like me.

Tobi's going through her initiation trials.

Then I wanna be initiated, too.

One step at a time.

You have to submit a pledge application.

But now we have to study,

which is what everyone thinks we do here anyways.

I have a question.

What happened to Emma?

We miss Emma terribly.

It hurt us when she left without telling us why.

Why ruin the day by bringing up

such an unpleasant subject?

The editor of the college paper wanted me to ask.

Teri has a long history of not liking our group

ever since she didn't get in two years ago.

Which explains why she's on a rampage to shut us down.

Sorry, I didn't know.

Okay, well now that you do know,

don't ask about her again.

Okay?

Are you trying to embarrass me?

It was a simple question.

Why is everyone getting so defensive?

They're not defensive.

They're just...

Them.

Come on, let's go study.

I can't go in there now that I've pissed everyone off.

There's no way I could focus on the schoolwork right now.

Here, take one of these.

A little Adderall will help rein in your focus.

Take the edge off a bit.

Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

Follow me.

Guys, we're coming back.

We're coming to study.

Come on, hurry up.

Coming!

Why do they need to know my salary?

And why all this medical history

dating back to your great grandma?

Athena's very selective.

They only let in two new members a year.

That's ready.

Oh, and tell Mr. Peterson

if he doesn't wanna take his medication orally,

I'm sure we can find another way.

Well, what does Dyan think?

Mom, it's a good group.

I checked Athena out, they're all legit.

Dr. Applegate, James needs your signature.

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.

Oh, don't be.

Jennie, this is Corey, my med student assistant.

How are you liking Foxworth?

My first year here felt like murder.

I, I better get back to class.

Jennie, wait.

I'll fill out the application.

I'm glad you're making an effort to find new friends.

If you're looking to meet people,

I got tickets to the game on Sunday.

Maybe we can grab dinner after?

Did I say something wrong?

No, she's just shy.

Maybe this will help fix that.

Congratulations, you're approved

to pledge the Athena sisterhood.

Your initiation consists of three tasks.

First, you must steal a frog from the campus garden.

Next, steal the 2010 prized Foxworth championship belt.

It's sacred.

It's the only year they won anything.

And finally...

Sneak into the Gamma house,

take a diamond bracelet set from the president's bedroom

and place it in P.O. Box 1212.

Unlock the box with the provided keys.

So?

You got off easy.

I had to snatch a pair of Louis Vuitton.

They made you steal, too?

It's a prank.

Each year, the Gamma girls steal something

from the Athena house, too.

I mean, the test isn't about stealing.

It's to show that you won't get caught.

This makes me nervous.

So get un-nervous.

Just give me a sec, Beck.

Just need to grab my jacket.

Good work.

Two more tests and your initiation is complete.

So?

The cafeteria story's going great.

No, dummy.

About Emma, did you ask the Athena sisters about her?

They're worried about her, too.

Sure they are.

I want you to do a story on them.

There's really nothing to write about.

They help each other study and have parties.

No, they have expensive parties at a very expensive house.

How do they get the money for that?

And they act like a sorority, but they're not even part

of the college Greek system.

Sounds like you want me to dig up a bunch of dirt on them

because they wouldn't let you in their group.

- Teri Rainmaker? - Yeah, that's me.

- You're under arrest. - What? What for?

For stolen property found in your post office box.

I didn't steal anything.

You have the right to remain silent.

Jennie, I didn't steal anything.

Anything you say can be used

against you in the court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

You're arresting me for something I didn't do.

Yeah, yeah, You can say that to a lawyer.

This is absurd.

They just arrested Teri.

It was an honest mistake.

They must have switched the PO boxes without telling us.

Oh, well, the most important thing

is you passed your test with flying colors.

Teri's in jail because of what I did.

Her dad will bail her out.

Besides, it's good for Teri to sweat a little bit.

She's been a pain in all our butts

with her constant questions.

You targeted Teri on purpose.

You used me to get back at her.

I didn't know such thing.

Then, let's go to the police and tell them

what really happened.

I'm not throwing myself on the sword

for someone like Teri.

Then, you don't need someone like me in the sisterhood.

Fine.

I'll pull some strings with the Gamma girls

to make sure the charges against Teri are dropped.

Thank you.

On one condition.

What do I have to do?

You have such pretty hands.

What do you say we get a manicure?

The test is getting my nails done?

I know a great place we can all go to. Only costs $20.

Oh, I'm low on cash at the moment.

That's Damien Dolan Kinger.

He's on the board of directors.

He's totally loaded and a complete freak.

He likes to hang around campus

and talk to the pretty freshman girls.

It's your second initiation challenge

based on the principle of believing.

If you believe in yourself, anyone will do anything you ask.

Go on, ask him for $20.

I can't just ask him for money.

All he can do is say no.

And I'll make sure all the charges against

Come on.

It's only fun if it's a little dangerous.

Hi, how are you?

I hate to ask this.

I lost my purse and phone.

I need $20 to get a taxi home.

Oh my God.

It worked.

I just made up a little story and he gave me his money.

How do you feel?

Strangely powerful.

I'm glad you came.

How's it been like working with my mom?

It's been great.

Yeah, actually, yeah.

She's been teaching me quite a bit.

So what's going on with you?

So Athena's been good for my grades.

They teach these great mnemonic devices

like rhymes? And I'm acing chemistry because of...

I'm boring you, aren't I?

No, no.

In fact, I am surprised you called me up to go out tonight.

When we first met,

you couldn't get away from me fast enough.

I've learned you never get what you want

unless you ask for it.

I like that attitude.

So, what else do you wanna ask me for?

Whoa, whoa!

Oh my God!

Lynda said the Athena sisterhood

is setting up a memorial service in Emma's name.

Even though she was never a real member.

That's wonderful.

Emma's lucky to have so many people care about her.

I should have cared more.

If I had been nicer, maybe she wouldn't have killed herself.

Oh, wait a minute.

We don't know for sure that's what happened.

What else could it be?

All right, everybody.

I graded your papers, some very nice work here

and there's also some very sloppy work here.

At least you're kind of improving.

Here.

Take another one of these.

The key to success is consistency.

Hi sweetheart.

Darn it, Mom, you scared me.

Sorry.

Here are the pamphlets you wanted for your STD story.

Can I take you for lunch?

Can't. Story's due at three o'clock.

Everything okay?

Ugh.

I can't imagine what it must've been like

finding that dead girl's body.

You know, I used to see stuff like that all the time

when I work in the ER in Vegas.

But to find it here at what I thought was a quiet campus.

Look, I know you've had your own battles

with depression and bad thoughts.

I like college better than I ever thought I would.

Girls at Athena actually make me feel, I don't know, cool.

Is that corny?

No, it's wonderful.

I am so glad it's working out.

Okay, I'll let you get back to work.

Let me know if you need more help with your story.

Okay. Bye.

Jennie?

Teri, you're back.

The Gammas must have dropped all the charges.

How did you know about that?

Is that the story I asked you to write

about the Athena sisters?

No, it's about student STDs.

Screw the STDs.

The Athena story is your top priority.

- No. - No?

I have a conflict of interest now that I'm a new recruit.

So go undercover.

If you're so suspicious of Athena, go ask them yourself.

How?

You know how secretive they are.

Nobody can even get near that house unless they're invited.

What?

What?

I have an idea.

Coming.

Jennie.

We were just going over your final test.

I brought along Teri so we could finally clear the air

of all the tension between her and the group.

Her application was denied two years ago.

No redos accepted-

I don't wanna be recruited.

I wanna find out what really happened to Emma.

Go into my office.

I'm sure if you all just talked out

whatever's bothering you...

Jennie, what did I just ask you?

I don't mean to cause trouble,

but Emma was a friend of mine.

And she was like a sister to me.

Then why was she so scared of you?

She told me that you were making her do things...

Stop.

If you wanted to insult me,

you could have just done it over the phone.

What are you keeping secret?

You're not even a real sorority.

You don't want answers.

You just wanna beat someone up because Emma's gone.

Well, I feel the same way.

Can we make peace for her sake?

Why did you bring Teri here?

I'm sorry.

It, it won't happen again.

I'm sorry, too.

I knew it was a bad idea

to bring Teri here and I knew it was going to upset you,

I knew it was going to make you mad

and I just wanna say, I am so excited to...

Shut up, Tobi.

Shut up, Norma.

So what can I do to make it up to you all?

I think a verbal warning is...

Don't do that because you like her.

It's not fair.

If we don't do this, we'll all get in trouble.

You ladies are scaring me.

What, gonna spank me or something?

No.

They wouldn't do that, would you?

Of course not.

Now, go over to the table and lay your hands out.

You better do what she says.

Let me see your nails.

Your manicure still looks brand new.

Susan, cut off Jennie's nails.

Are you kidding me?

When any of us break the rules, myself included,

we have to go through

what the sisterhood's founders call a chastisement.

It's not like we're cutting off your head.

It's not like you have to break up

with the person you've been in love with since you were 15

and planning on marrying

and now are gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

Okay, funny joke.

It's because you think this is a joke

that we have to do this.

If you don't like how we do things,

then you can walk out the door.

Jennie, please don't go.

It'll be over quick.

It's just the rules we have to follow.

Don't worry, they'll grow back.

Now, go lay your hands out on the table.

Close your eyes.

It'll be easier that way.

At least it was when they did it to me during my initiation.

I shouldn't have cut so deep.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I'm glad you decided to stay.

I was afraid you weren't gonna like us anymore.

Of course I like you.

I never wanna disappoint you again.

It just seems kind of severe, what you did.

Well, now, you'll never mess up like that again

will you? So it works.

Anything else bothering you?

Go on, Jennie.

Tell them about who else is giving you a bad time.

Professor Vandever.

He's totally not grading Jennie fair.

He comes down so hard on her.

So let's kill him.

I was just teasing.

Norma may be onto something.

Wait, do you actually want us to kill him?

No, dingdong.

But rumor has it, he's changed grades for students

who help him change his sheets, if you catch my drift.

Seriously? That's disgusting.

We have to stop him.

How can we just sit back and let men take advantage of us?

How do you propose we do that exactly?

Hush, Norma.

I bet Jennie can think of something.

I knew you had some fire inside of you,

we just had to light it.

I think your final initiation test should be exactly that.

Bringing Professor Vandever to justice.

Tobi will help you since she still has to pass

her last test.

Well, I already have a camera.

So.

Simply sneak this into his bedroom.

Aimed at his bed, of course.

It'll be just like when you snuck into Gamma.

That was just a prank.

This is actual breaking and entering.

So don't break in.

Knock on his door and get invited in.

Tonight.

Tobi, why don't you take Jennie home?

Yeah, let's go.

She's cute.

Yeah, she's cute.

Shut up, Norma.

Why is that so loud?

It's the alarm, Norma.

It's Teri.

- Who is it? - That Teri girl.

- Where is she? - I don't know.

Just find her.

Look around the corner.

I can't believe Jennie brought her.

Can you hear me?

You're at Foxworth College Clinic.

You were found on Sheffield Road.

You fell.

Corey, give her five more CCs.

We need more liquid Demerol.

Just relax.

We're gonna put you in a rehab tub,

gonna help with the pain.

Okay?

Just relax.

There we go.

What?

Professor Vandever?

You live here?

Oh my God.

This is wild, and it's actually super convenient

because we were just in the neighborhood

and we could actually really use your help.

This is crazy.

So crazy.

My car broke down and our cell phones died.

Can we use your phone to call a tow truck?

- Have you guys been drinking? - No.

We'll be super quick.

All right, look, I got a phone in the back

and I might have a card for a tow truck somewhere.

So come on in.

Can I use your bathroom?

Yeah, it's upstairs next to my bedroom.

So. You have like such a big house.

Thank you.

This is like crazy.

Do you have any pets? Any girlfriends?

Anything I should know about

before walking into, you know.

Jennie, what were you doing in my bedroom?

I'm looking for the bathroom.

You said it's in your bedroom, right?

No, I said it's right next to my bedroom.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Oh and I got that card for you.

Thanks.

Y'all good?

Teri's all set in the tub.

Want me to bag those up for you?

Sure.

Thanks.

Help me!

Help!

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

- Did you see him? - Who?

The person who attacked me!

Corey and I are the only ones here.

Towel.

No one else has been in the clinic.

But they were here.

They tried to kill me, I almost drowned.

You were hallucinating.

It's a reaction to the medication, you're fine.

It wasn't a hallucination, it was real.

She tried to kill me.

Let's get you to bed.

You're fine, you're fine.

You're safe here.

Okay, we're gonna get you to bed.

My light is your light.

We are one in the same.

My light is your light.

We are one in the same.

Sisters today, sisters tomorrow, sisters forever.

Sisters today, sisters tomorrow, sisters forever.

- Athena forever. - Athena forever.

Athena forever. Athena forever.

Athena forever.

Athena forever.

I still can't believe you picked me.

No one's ever picked me for anything before.

We have to fix this attitude you have about yourself.

Look in the mirror.

Tell me what you see.

I'd rather not.

I see someone who has no idea how bold and brave she is.

A young woman just waiting for someone

to give her permission to have fun and explore the world

and explore men.

You could be very, very sexy.

You're not the hairy caterpillar anymore.

Stop hiding in your cocoon.

It's time to be a butterfly.

Hang tight, I'll be with you in a second.

Can I help you?

Corey, it's me,

Jennie. Wow.

I didn't think you could look like that.

Not that you weren't pretty before.

Is my mother around?

Yeah, in her office.

By the way, if you're not doing anything Sunday,

I thought we could go out again.

I had a really good time the other night.

Well, before we found the dead body.

Corey, these can't wait for a messenger.

Jennie?

Is my daughter in there?

It was time for a change.

Can we have lunch today?

Oh honey, I'm swamped today.

Please? It's important.

Then let's have some lunch. Corey?

I'll hold down the fort.

- See you. - Bye, Jennie.

- Be back soon. - See you.

Okay, out with it.

How did you afford this new look?

Take out a credit card without telling me?

No, I borrowed these from Lynda,

the president of Athena.

Last night, I was officially made a sister.

Oh honey, that's wonderful.

And they want me to move in, so I thought maybe,

no, I'm not gonna feel bad about asking for this.

I deserve this.

I need you to give me 5,000 a month, plus an allowance

for clothing and social events.

You're actually serious?

Athena wants me move into their house, but it's not free.

And now that I'm officially a sister,

I need to change my wardrobe and represent them well.

They have a reputation to uphold.

One, you already have a place to live, at the dorms.

I don't wanna live there anymore.

Oh.

They only let in two new girls a year.

This is a big deal.

With a big price tag.

Tobi's family had no problem.

Then have Tobi's family pay your rent.

And while they're at it, see if they can throw

a few bucks my way, too.

It's not just money for rent I need.

I need money for clothes, makeup.

Don't you like the way I look?

You go to college to study,

not to walk the runway.

But you told me that college isn't just about books.

It's about experiences, making new friends.

You can do all that and still stick to a budget.

Find another group of girls to hang out with.

If you won't give me the money,

then take it out of my trust.

Absolutely not.

Your father left you that money

for tuition and emergencies, not eyeshadow.

But it's my money.

Which you can blow when you're 21.

You liked it when I had no friends.

When everyone made fun of me.

'Cause then you could control everything that I did.

If you need to buy some new things, I can spare $100.

I can't buy anything with this.

Jennie, how dare you.

Jennie.

Get back here, young lady.

What are you supposed to do with $100?

It's not like she doesn't have the money, she's a doctor.

Believe me, my grandfather wasn't thrilled

when I asked him for money either,

but he ended up doing what I wanted.

How'd you convince him?

Do you really wanna know?

No, I can't. You'll hate me.

I will not.

There's a cop.

What on earth happened to you?

Like you don't know.

I'm pressing charges against you

for pushing me down the hill last night.

Push you?

First of all, I didn't.

And second of all, why would I want to?

To keep me quiet about this.

Did you break into my office?

Why are you keeping track of all these rich guys, Lynda?

I want that question answered, too.

See?

Actually, I'm talking to you, Ms. Rainmaker.

How'd you get that list?

I want a restraining order put on this woman.

These are potential donors.

It's not against all law to ask people for money.

But she chased after me and somebody broke

into the clinic last night and tried to...

Get back in my car, I'll drive you home.

What?

Do you want me to cuff you?

Sorry for the interruption.

No apology necessary, Officer Jones.

It's Rick. Rick.

It's obvious her physical condition is having an effect

on her mental capacities.

Would you like to come in for coffee?

Another time.

Good day.

Out of the way.

Ugh.

Why did you trick me?

Excuse me?

You used me to get into the Athena house

and when you're caught, you accuse Lynda

and the others of hurting you.

Because they did hurt me.

Whatever agenda you have against Athena,

leave me out of it.

It's childish to still hold onto that grudge

just because you couldn't get in.

I don't give a crap about getting in.

I don't think anyone should get

into that group, including you.

I tried to warn Emma before she got in.

If you cross them or do anything they don't like,

you will pay for it, just like I did.

I don't have time for your conspiracy theories.

I have two articles due tomorrow I haven't even started.

I can barely focus as it is.

Did you start taking those pills

before or after you got into Athena?

How's that any of your business?

What else are they making you do?

No one's making me do anything.

I'm not as naive as you think.

For your sake, I hope not.

Holy guacamole.

Lynda, get in here.

Here.

You're doing some extra credit

right now.

Look who got a case of the Friday night friskies.

We're gonna make a fortune.

We don't even know that Jennie will go for it.

She better go for it.

Otherwise, the sovereign will come down on us.

I told you to be clear with him, Norma.

It's over.

I'm sorry, but I was...

It's not my fault he said no.

Then whose fault is it? Mine?

Please, I promise I could do better.

Just give me another chance.

Get out.

I can't even look at your face right now.

You really disappointed me today.

I said go.

And how many times do I have to tell you to stop chewing

that dumb gum in front of me?

Makes you look immature, Norma.

Norma? Is everything okay?

What's wrong with Norma?

It's my fault.

I pushed her to do more than she was ready for.

Not every pledge is an overachiever like you.

Not so sure about that anymore.

What's troubling you?

Is it your grades?

I thought they were improving.

They are, kinda.

The Adderall's helping me study better,

but I ran all out.

Can I have a couple more?

I'm not a pharmacy.

Why don't you ask your mom for a prescription?

She would never do that.

She won't even give me money to...

I don't think I can afford to be a part of Athena.

Why don't you ask someone else?

There's no one else.

Didn't you just ask a stranger for money the other day?

That was different, you dared me.

Then I have another dare for you.

Your trap worked.

Is that Professor Vandever?

And one of his students.

Her name is Lisa Singer.

Until recently, she was flunking out.

Now, she's suddenly headed for the honor roll.

We have to show this to the dean.

And waste an opportunity

to improve your grades and your finances?

What do you want me to do?

Sleep with him, too?

Of course not.

We're not a brothel.

Now think.

You have proof that could destroy this man's career.

Vandever needs to pay for his actions,

and I can think of no one better

to benefit from that than you.

You suggesting I blackmail him?

If we go to the dean, he'll get off without a slap.

But if you go to Vandever

and demand some personal justice on behalf

of all of the past and future students

he may take advantage of, that's progress.

That's empowerment.

Can't we just go to the authorities?

And have them arrest you for being a peeping Tom?

The choice is yours.

Leave Athena and stay in the dorms or move in here with us.

It's all up to you.

You're doing some extra credit

right now.

You can't actually be serious.

I mean, how'd you even get that?

Oh my God.

Your car was never broken down, was it?

It's not right to sleep with your students, Professor.

Oh, but it is right for you to blackmail me?

I mean, boy did I misjudge you.

Did you know that Lisa's my girlfriend?

She's not even my student.

She's a music major.

I wonder what the dean would think.

Oh, let's go ask him.

You know?

No, stop, stop.

What do I have to do to make sure

you don't show anybody that video?

I don't have this kinda money.

I'll take payments.

Or you can go to the court and pay a fine there.

Why are you doing this to me?

To give me assurance that you'll think twice

before taking advantage of another student in your class.

Aren't you the moral one?

Deposit the money by the end of the day

or I will go to the dean.

Who put you up to this, Jennie?

Hey, word of advice? Stop while you still can.

'Cause next guy you do this to

might not bend and roll over for you.

I can't believe I just did that.

So did he agree to give you the money?

Ladies.

This is a library, not a hoe down.

Can we please try and keep the chatter at a minimum?

Sorry, Miss Inman.

See? Justice after all.

Why don't I feel good about it?

Tobi, what am I doing?

So don't worry.

The next time you do it, you won't feel anything at all

Who says there'll be a next time?

Come on.

Jennie, I swear I'm not invading your space.

I just thought we could...

Are you with campus services?

I'm Farusha, you can just take these boxes.

No, am I mixed up

or is this Jennie Applegate's dorm room?

It used to be, but Jennie and Tobi

both moved out this morning.

Do you know where they went?

A place called the Andrea, Arianna?

- Athena? - Sure.

So she did find a way to afford it after all.

Glad I could help.

Oh, another date with Corey?

Things must really be getting serious.

I still can't get over how much he's into me.

Of course, he's into you.

Now that you're the real you

and not afraid to be yourself.

Authenticity is nature's strongest aphrodisiac.

Jennie, do you have any Adderall?

I have a really big test on Monday

and a lot of studying to do.

I get all my Adderall from you.

Okay, well I wouldn't have done that

if I didn't think you'd give some back.

You never told me that.

Well, I didn't think I had to.

It's kind of like sisterhood code.

Tobi's right.

She helped you out and you should return the favor.

Just get some from your mom.

I already told you she won't give me a prescription.

Okay, but have you even asked her?

Every time I ask her anything these days,

we end up fighting.

Well find another way.

We've all been there for you.

It's a two-way street, Jennie.

I think your date's here.

I'll go grab some cash, okay?

Okay.

- You ready? - Yeah.

Okay, this all looks great.

Would you finish up doing rounds for me?

- Will do. - Thanks, Corey.

Oh.

Well, you look like you're right at home here.

Oh, Dyan, thanks for coming down.

I know you're busy.

Not at all.

I love seeing you in your element.

Besides, it's a welcome change from the usual student drama

I get on a Tuesday afternoon.

Oh, don't worry.

I've got loads of drama to unload.

Got a minute?

That good, huh?

Actually, that bad.

Someone broke in and raided the pharmacy.

Price to pay for working on a college campus.

Certainly no one's blaming you for that.

Let's sit down, let's talk about it.

Actually, I wanted to talk about Jennie.

Have you noticed a change in her lately?

Yes, isn't it marvelous?

I was just going over her transcripts in my office.

She's up for a scholarship.

I'm drafting out a recommendation to the governor

for her summer internship.

- The governor? - Didn't she tell you?

Oh, she doesn't tell me anything anymore.

She won't return my calls.

She moved out without telling me.

So she's asserting her independence.

You should be happy.

She's embraced some initiative.

Oh, I come down so hard on her.

Oh, you can beat yourself up all you want,

but the facts speak otherwise.

Jennie is thriving in all of her classes,

and it's not because of her new friends at Athena.

It's because of...

Because of you, too.

So you really think she's okay?

Oh, honey, are any of us really okay?

- Is that Xanax? - Wow, Jennie.

When you pay someone back, you do it with interest.

Oh my God.

You got Vicodin and Ritalin?

Careful what you mix together.

Oh, please, Tobi's a pro.

Don't worry about that.

What are you doing?

Um, studying.

Kinda redundant to study for Professor Vandever's class.

You already know you'll get an A.

I should still make an effort.

Study this instead.

I think it's time for you to expand your dating pool a bit.

I'm already dating Corey.

He's more of a guy that you pre-game with,

not the end goal.

All these guys are old enough to be my father.

Which means it'll be that much easier to land one of them.

Mm, not interested.

That doesn't change the fact

that you need to spend less time with Corey.

When's your next date with him?

We're going to a concert tomorrow.

Norma, do you want to go to a concert tomorrow with Corey?

- Sure. - Jennie?

Tell Corey that you won't be able to make it tomorrow night,

but that Norma will go in your place.

You can't just order me to break a date.

Corey's about to become my boyfriend.

There's no "my" anything.

Athena sisters share everything.

Also, I think it's time to do something about this hair.

You'd look stunning as a blonde.

Oh, Tobi!

Oh my God!

Why's she doing that?

Someone help! Help!

Tobi, can you hear me?

Corey, I need that Lorazepam now.

Girls, be honest.

What kind of drugs did your friend take?

I think she took some Adderall.

We don't know that.

One minute, she just fine, the next she was down.

Tobi, can you hear me?

Infusion of propofol next?

Give the Lorazepam another minute to work.

And do an IV of electrolytes

so I can run a basic metabolic panel.

It's gonna be okay.

Girls, get out so we can work.

I said get out.

- Wait, I think she... - You heard your mom.

Let's go

Move, Corey.

Move, move, move.

There, one, two, three.

There we go.

Tobi?

There we go.

Nice and easy.

Thank you for calling, Dr. Applegate.

We're all a nervous wreck.

I'm so glad Tobi's condition is stabilized.

I'll tell Jennie that you called.

Okay. Have a good night.

So Tobi's okay? Yeah.

See?

I told you we didn't need to tell your mom about the pills.

I made sure Jennie didn't say anything, just like you asked.

Wait, this was your idea?

Norma, just as you pass one test, you fail another.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means you're on probation.

That's not fair.

No one said life was fair.

Your own worst enemy is yourself.

I mean, if you would just listen to me.

No!

I don't wanna listen to you anymore.

Maybe I'm sick of the lying and the pranks

and the games where you always change the rules to make sure

that I'm always losing.

If it was too easy, everyone could get in.

Maybe I don't wanna be in the sisterhood anymore.

Maybe I hate it here.

I'm leaving!

Enough!

Wait, Norma!

Let's talk about this!

Susan, stop Norma from doing anything

before it's too late!

Too late for what?

Jennie, the reason that I asked Norma to make sure

you kept your mouth shut wasn't just to protect you.

Your mother could lose her job if the college found out

that her own daughter stole drugs from her.

I've been such a fool.

It's okay. I forgive you.

I don't forgive you or myself.

I joined this group because I wanted help with my grades,

so I can make some new friends.

We are your friends, best friends.

Norma's right.

I don't think I could stay here anymore either.

Jennie, you're in too deep.

We all are. You can't just leave.

Of course I can.

This isn't prison.

Trust me. You wanna stay.

We have the best house, the best clothes.

I mean, every woman wants to live here.

Let go.

But you worked so hard to get in.

It's gonna be that much harder to get out.

You're scaring me.

Good, you should be scared.

I'm scared, too.

Norma, stop.

Don't do this.

See?

This is what I'm talking about.

Everyone telling me what to do, what to wear,

how to do my hair, what to put in my mouth.

Where's my gum anyway?

You're one of my best friends.

And we can still be friends.

I can't be here anymore.

Some of us don't have a choice.

Everyone has a choice.

Just walk out.

I can't.

And neither can you.

Watch me.

- Do you hear that? - No.

Oh my God!

I told her not to leave.

I told her not to chew gum.

I tried to stop her.

I told her not to go.

Now do you believe me?

Is that the memorial piece about the latest Athena pledge,

who dropped dead, literally?

Her name was Norma and she didn't just drop dead.

It was a terrible accident.

Have some respect.

Oh, I respect her.

Any 19-year-old who is investigated

for credit card fraud is aces with me.

Is financial manipulation

a test that every pledge has to pass?

Because Emma did the same.

Not with credit cards.

She was cashing bad checks with her mom's name.

I don't catch the connection.

Almost every woman who goes through the initiation process

at Athena is pinged for money-related crimes.

Nice watch.

Are those real diamonds?

Have they made you do anything illegal for money?

It'll be okay.

No, it won't.

I can't believe I let it get this far.

I didn't know I had it in me to do this.

It's not who I really am.

That's the MO of organizations like Athena.

They suck you in and they don't let you back out.

But you can leave, Jennie.

You owe it to you and all the others

to tell everyone what they've done.

How? By going to the cops?

No, we need to do something

that will guarantee to expose them.

An article printed right here on campus showing everyone

what Athena is really all about.

It's not some witch cult.

It's just a stupid study group...

Who gaslights their members

into committing terrible crimes?

Meet me halfway.

Let me interview you anonymously.

Don't let Lynda and those others bully you.

They're not, that's the thing.

I have a feeling they're just as trapped as there as I.

Then isn't it time to set everyone free?

Isn't that why you even work at the paper to tell the truth?

Then I'll write it without you.

What do you want to know first?

Dr. Applegate, you scared me.

How are you feeling?

My stomach's almost back to normal.

Are those flowers for me?

They're actually for everyone at the house.

My sympathies about the girl who died.

- Ah, yeah. - It's just awful.

Well, thanks.

Can I say hi to Jennie?

Jennie's in class.

- Is she okay? - Don't you talk to her?

Honestly, I haven't seen or spoken

to Jennie since she brought you into my clinic.

Yeah.

Well, she's just been really busy.

Could I come in?

I'd like to see where my daughter's living.

- No. - No?

We can't let anyone in who isn't a member.

Not my rules, theirs

Sounds awfully strict.

Membership has its privileges.

You sure everything's okay?

Am I acting like it's not?

Yes, as a matter of fact, you are.

You know, I'm actually really not feeling good anymore,

so I think I better go.

But thank you for this.

Have a good night.

What do you think?

It's good, Teri.

But the photo's aren't right.

I think it should be a collage.

Or maybe I go old school

in the dark room and blend it together,

develop other photos over them.

Whatever you do, it's gonna be great.

I better head home.

After that article comes out,

I may not have a place to call home.

Then you can stay with me.

You don't have to put me up.

I know I don't, but I want to.

Jennie, you did good today.

No matter what the fallout is,

Emma and Norma would be proud.

What do you want?

Hey, stranger.

It's just me.

What's so funny?

I think I'm losing my mind.

Well, then you're doing freshman year right.

Hey, you wanna grab a bite with me?

Yeah.

What's that for?

I just need something to hold onto.

You know, I'm worried about what they're doing to you.

You don't need to worry.

My days with Athena are almost over.

Hello?

I'm in here.

Hello.

Help!

Somebody help me!

Help!

Why? I'm just..

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Jennie.

Honey, I heard about your friend, I'm so sorry.

The journalism room caught on fire last night.

Teri Rainmaker's body was found in the dark room.

Do you really think it was just an accident?

Of course it was.

Tobi, could I have some time alone

with my daughter so I can help?

Let's go to the clinic and talk.

I'm not talking to anyone.

I should have just cut my mouth shut.

What? Jennie?

These are the pills stolen from the clinic, aren't they?

Are you accusing your daughter of stealing?

I don't know, should I be?

No wonder she doesn't wanna talk to you.

Come on, Jennie. Let's go.

We're not finished here. - Yes we are.

Don't worry, Doctor.

Jennie has her sisters to look out for her now.

Jennie.

Jennie, don't do this.

- Come on. - Jennie.

Jennie!

Dr. Applegate, pleasure to meet you.

Same here.

I usually don't meet with the museum donors in person,

but you did mention a substantial amount.

I'm afraid I told a fib.

This isn't about a donation to the museum.

It's about your granddaughter, Tobi.

I don't have a granddaughter.

But you were listed as her emergency contact

when she came into my clinic.

She nearly died of a drug overdose.

Hmm.

And she survived?

You seem disappointed.

The Tobi I know and loved died a year ago.

But you wouldn't understand.

Yes, yes, I would.

See, Tobi is very good friends

with my daughter, and she's gotten involved in something

that's completely taken over her life.

I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

Well, you may be able to give up on Tobi,

I can't give up on my daughter.

You might be the only person

who can tell me what I'm really up against.

Come with me.

Hey, you're Jennie Applegate, right?

Why do you wanna know?

Recognize me from the video in the professor's house?

What am I supposed to do about it now?

You make me sick.

Jennie, are you okay?

That woman hit you.

That was an assault.

We need to report it.

No, no, don't report it.

Why not?

Beause what I've been doing is so much worse.

We'll go back to my office, we'll talk about it.

Who's that girl?

Oh, just to go back to your jog.

I got this.

- Are you okay? - I got this.

I tried to raise Tobi as properly

and as lovingly as I could

after her father and his wife died.

But I wasn't prepared for how emotional she would be.

She was so depressed before she went to college.

And I was worried she was going to drop out.

It was so difficult for her to meet people.

I had the same fears about Jennie before...

Before she joined Athena?

I caught her stealing art from the museum and selling it.

When I confronted her, she threatened

to the donors and their daughters.

But how could she do that?

She found photos on my phone.

Now, come on, Doctor.

Don't be so naive.

This is the 21st century.

Single men who use dating apps are bound to have

a couple of naked pictures on their phone.

I won't be shamed for having a strong libido at my age.

Okay, so the blackmail couldn't work

if you told people the truth.

The truth?

Nobody cares about the truth anymore.

I don't know what world you live in,

but the one I live in, all that's needed is a rumor,

a microaggression to implode a career.

I paid her off, I had to.

I couldn't risk it.

Now all I am to her is a bank account.

Do you think Athena made Tobi do this?

Like they're making my daughter steal drugs?

I won't get involved.

But Mr. Pipkin.

I have nothing more to say.

What?

Actually, I do.

Stay away.

Don't engage.

If Athena can make a person extort

and manipulate their own grandfather for a few bucks,

think of what they can make those other girls do.

You poor thing.

You didn't stand a chance against them.

Girls like that never accepted me before.

I just wanted to impress them.

How could I be so stupid?

Oh, it's natural to want to be part

of a clique at your age, to belong.

Did they make you do anything else?

I need to know everything, Jennie.

Otherwise, I can't help you.

That's all.

I swear.

May I speak with Detective Metis?

Are you sending me to jail?

Julie, hi, it's Dyan Palis over at Foxworth.

I need you or one of your officers to meet me at,

what's the address of the house?

52 Sheffield Road.

52 Sheffield Road.

A student is moving out of the residence there

and well, I'd feel better if we had a police escort in case

things get sticky.

10 minutes?

Fine.

I can't go back there.

You need to move all of your personal effects

from that house.

God knows what they'll use against you

once we press formal charges against them.

So you believe me?

I've suspected those Athena girls

have been up to something for a long time,

but not one student has been brave enough

to come forward about their tactics.

Until you.

My car's out front, I'll drive.

Dyan, it's Elissa calling about Jennie.

Look, I just spoke to Tobi Pinkin's grandfather,

and I think Athena has made her and Jennie

and God knows how many other girls

commit all kinds of crimes.

Call me so we can figure out the best way to fix this

before these girls get into more trouble.

Dyan, thanks for coming.

Of course, Jennie.

Anything for you.

Where's the police officer?

Don't worry, they're coming.

Jennie, aren't you supposed to be in class?

And who's your guest?

Let's not, shall we?

Jennie will be leaving your premises today

and there will be a police officer here momentarily

to provide an escort,

but I don't think that will be necessary, do you?

Far be it from me to hold someone here against their will.

If Jennie no longer wants to stay here,

then we don't want her here either.

Go on and collect your things.

Don't worry, no one will hurt you.

Do you need a bigger bag?

No, we have everything under control.

Can I at least get an explanation from Jennie...

No, you can't.

But you can explain a few things to me.

Jennie, I'll be just right in the hall.

Dr. Applegate, you need anything else?

Oh, I'm fine, Corey, you can go on home.

Is everything okay?

I haven't heard back from Jennie or Dyan.

Could she be at the Athena house?

I don't know, but I'm gonna go check it out.

Have a good night.

No, wait, I'm coming with you.

You're not the only one worried about Jennie.

I'll drive you.

Doesn't look like anyone's home.

I don't buy that.

Dyan always returns my calls.

And her car's out front, so.

It's locked.

Ah, I don't think anyone's home.

Dyan's car's still out front.

There. Help me.

I got it.

Got it?

Okay.

You check upstairs, I'll go in the back.

Jennie, it's Corey.

Jennie? Jennie!

Jennie, are you okay?

Who did this?

Oh no.

I'm gonna get you home.

I'm gonna get you outta here.

I'm gonna get you outta here, don't worry.

Are you okay? Yeah.

What are you doing?

No, no, no, please.

No!

Shut up, Jennie, I'm doing this for you.

I'm doing this for all of them!

You don't wanna ruin your whole life.

- I can do this. - Please, Lynda, please.

I can do this.

You don't want to, please.

I can do this.

Get out of here! Go!

Get out, go! Get out of here!

I, I couldn't do it.

I tried, but it's just I can't do it.

Killing someone, it's just, it's too much to ask.

It's just too much to ask.

I'm sorry.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

That's what happens when a sister fails a test.

I'd given Lynda more than enough chances.

She was a lost cause.

Better to put a coward out of her misery.

Dyan, what are you doing?

I've always belonged to them.

Corey!

Corey, help us.

You disappoint me.

Crying out to a man to save you from the wicked witch,

but no one's coming to help you.

I took care of him just like I took care

of the others who tried to give away our secrets.

I named this sisterhood after Athena

because she isn't just the goddess of wisdom.

She's also the goddess of war.

I can't be the only one who gets my hands dirty.

It's time for you all to step it up.

So come on, give them your best shot.

What are you all waiting for?

Kill them.

What are you all waiting for?

Huh?

What are you all waiting for?

What are you all waiting for?

Nobody move or I will kill her.

Ignore them, ladies.

We have them outnumbered, be brave.

The first time you put someone down is the hardest.

Just do it.

Fine. Run.

I'm not going down without taking

every last one of you with me.

You hear me?

And that goes for you too, Jennie.

You hear me?

Yeah, I heard you.

Oh. Honey.

Jennie.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go.

Honey, I thought you were doing

community service at the girls' home.

I am.

I'm happy to be able to help other girls find their power.

And it's super rewarding.

My probation officer gave me permission to show you this.

Wow.

My first byline.

"Leader of college scam syndicate"

sentenced to life in prison."

Oh, I am so proud of you.

Not just for the article,

but for being brave enough to testify.

I owed it to Teri.

Through all this,

she actually taught me to be a better writer.

I think she'd be very proud too.

Hey, if you have time, you wanna grab something to eat?

It's okay with your mom.

Of course. Go have fun, guys.

Jennie, I love you.

I love you, too.

Be safe.

Oh, I have to use the bathroom.

Over there.

I know where it is.

It was so funny when you told her

to take off that lipstick.

I can't believe she thinks she's going to get in.

- Hi. - Hey.

Are those girls giving you a hard time?

Yeah, they want me to change everything but.

I just wanna fit in.

You don't have to change who you are to fit in.

Screw them, just leave.

They won't let me.

I have an idea.
