Before I get into this episode I want to make a timeline
rant. This is Toronto they have weather and if this episode is supposed to be a
year after the shooting which presumably was in the late fall/early winter then
why the heck are Darcy and the Friendship Club dressing all summery for their
retreat…..
Like I said the episode opens as Darcy is bikini shopping
for the retreat. Spinner makes his way into the fitting room and teases Darcy
about giving Jesus a heart attack dressed like that. Jay shows up at the mall
and runs into Spinner after this (I assume this is a different mall or Jay’s banishment
from season three is null and void) and has some bro time with Spinner till
Darcy shows up. Those two banter for a moment before Jay invites Spinner to a
party at the ravine. Spinner is totally….possibly….not that into it.
WHATEVER IT TAKES
Spinner is at the friendship club meeting debating the club
leader Linus about religion. The bell rings and Linus tell Spinner he’d love to
continue to debate with him at the retreat.
Jimmy and Hazel are having breakfast before class and Hazel
tells Jimmy that she’s planned for them a summer road trip to the Southern part
of the US…..Disney World, Nashville….she’s giddy with anticipation. Soon after
the announcement over the PA says how it’s been a year since the shooting.
There is a flashback to Time Stands Still and Spinner is sitting in class
feeling guilty. After this we hear Miss H continue talking and saying that
after many proposals on projects to help the school move on from the tragedy
they’ve chosen a mural to be painted by Jimmy Brooks himself. Hazel didn’t know
he submitted anything however he tells her Ellie inspired him to do it. Paige whispers
to Hazel wondering since when did Jimmy and Ellie become a thing.
Spinner tries to congratulate Jimmy for the project however
gets rebuffed and after school talks to Jay about how guilty he is and Jay tells
him he needs to have some fun and forget the past. Spinner nods and goes off to
the weekend retreat. At the retreat Spinner starts to talk to Linus who
mentions how he and his girlfriend Kim are pre engaged and how relationships
are more than just sec.
Ellie makes a comment to Jimmy about the road trip and soon
Hazel arrives to organize the painting project.
Friendship Club is in a circle talking about fears. Spinner
is soon blindsided into talking about what happened with Jimmy and he is pissed
walking off to call Jay. Jay shows up and is fascinated with all the hot
Christian girls and decides to stay.
Ellie, Jimmy, and Hazel are working on mural and Jimmy and
Ellie are talking about art related things Hazel is out of the loop about.
Jay is working his way into the group and Spinner pulls him
back before he goes off to redefine the term ‘bible thumping’ Jay wishes to
know just what sort of hold Darcy has on him. Darcy soon joins the boys with
beers stolen from Jay’s civic. The boys drink however Darcy declines because
she doesn’t like the taste of beer. As Spinner goes to get round two, Jay tells
Darcy that Manny is on the prowl and if she doesn’t put out soon Spinner is
going to dump her. As he says this Darcy takes a swig.
Hazel notices Jimmy painted Ellie into his mural and is
pissed off. Flipping out she dumps paint on Jimmy.
Spinner is back from the car and sees Darcy waiting for him.
She removes her shirt and starts to fiddle with the straps of her bikini top
however she starts to break down. She loves him and she doesn’t want to lose
him to Manny…. Spinner wants to know what she means and she tells him what Jay
said. Spinner then approaches Jay after
the details are spoken off screen and tells him off saying how he ruins
everything.
Hazel confronts Jimmy more about Ellie. Jimmy tells her he
loves her but lately Ellie’s been a muse to him. This prompts Hazel to dump
him.
Spinner apologizes to Darcy for inviting Jay to the retreat
and she’s okay and still loves him.
