13x05 About A Girl--Postmortem





To me this episode wasn't as grating as I thought it would be. On the flipside however it was still hands down the weakest of the block so far (but that's just my opinion as I think the Clare plot hands down is the strongest thing going for the show.

The Paris plots I’m so over and I really do hope that when the summer season/semester is over we get more depth and less relationship drama from the grade tens and not some bizarre hexagon tossing Winston and a back on canvas Zig into the mix. (Like seriously I just want to see Winston not as a prop for the current quad already!)

So Tris likes Miles (Who has depth in spades I just wish we’d see it) but even after kissing him Miles is now with Zoe (or is joined at the lips with her at the least) Maya being the good friend to Tristan tried to pull a prank on the couple and when that backfires leaving her and Tris in detention where Miles asks if she did it cause SHE likes him (which she so does but didn’t want to say much cause hoes…or rather sassy gay bros….. before bros. Or if she doesn’t well the tension is so thick you can cut it with a damn knife) Tristan is pissed that she made his feelings public knowledge and doesn’t want to be friends anymore…..seriously…..he doesn’t. I mean yes these characters are children being in the 15/16 age range but that doesn’t mean they need to act like children which was pretty much the overall theme tonight….

Children winey over relationship drama with no real substance though when doing a full season re-watches there will probably be more depth….

The other Paris plot was Alli who is with her Frenchman Leo but then invites Jenna and Conner (Who was actually enjoyable to watch for a change) along to tag team as cock-blocks so she and Leo don’t go all the way. She loves him but doesn’t want to move so fast…..um sweetie…..unless he moves to Toronto your time is limited but kudos for not wanting to have your summer fling be sexual since you know it’s just a fling….. speaking of flings…..Dallas has been texting you…..he lives in Toronto and really does care for you…..FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Keep Leo in Paris and have a meaningful real relationship with one Mike Dallas in the fall Miss Bhandari

As for the camp plot…..so Adam had planned a Skype date with Becky however she had a church thing with Todd the shirtless wonder on his boat. Adam is obsessed by looking at all Becky’s instagram pictures of her and Todd to the point that he loses a Camper (who had ran off to another group to make sure his little girlfriend didn’t find a Todd….it was cute I swear) and almost losing his job. He ends up hacking into Becky’s face range account DMing Todd (as Becky) saying she has a boyfriend and isn’t interested. Becky calls Adam telling him she knew he did that and wished he could talk to her like she told him how worried she’d been with Imogen. Then she said they needs space.  The best parts about this plot and to be honest most of the episode was Drew whom I loved last episode too. I love how he’s been thinking with his head and not his penis lately…..snaps for him…. Though the scene with him and Dallas hula hooping was adorbs and I wonder if it was scripted or an ab lib.


Next week looks like it’ll be another love/hate one based on the TeenNick promo. I really hope the Jenna part is the human traffic plot that was leaked on one of the wiki episode leaks that popped up….also I’m so calling that Adam will hook up with Imogen like shown yet during this break Becky WON’T do anything with Todd and will be super pissed when/if she finds out.
