11x42/43 Hollaback Girl—RECAP


The seniors are writing a History exam and Bianca gets done before time is called and begins to sit in Mr. P’s class fileing her nails while Katie comments how she needs to concentrate. Drew lets out a little giggle much to Katie’s dislike however before more happens Bianca is called to the office to meet with a court appointed social worker as part of her probation needing her to be interviewed and to pee in a cup making sure she’s on the up and up.

WHATEVER IT TAKES



Mo and Marisol are walking down the halls hand and hand and Conner comments on how he’s happy Mo’s finally found love. Marisol then comments that Mo should tone down the PDA because it’s not like they are life face-range official or anything.

Bianca’s being talked to and her grades are on the up and up though her aunt seems to never be around when they make house calls. The worker leaves and Simpson comments about how she’s got a shit ton of potential and she really needs to think more of herself and gives her a college catalog.

Alli asks if Dave is doing okay. His dad has told her Jacinta has made it through her last surgery okay and he plans to visit her tonight much to Alli’s dismay. It’s been a week and Alli thinks he needs a distraction and he agrees to blow off the hospital visit and go see a movie with her instead.

Katie’s pill popping and Drew comments how he thought she’d be done with pills after all while it’s only been a week since she went under the knife (not outright said but since it’s been a week since Jacinta then obviously it’s been a week since that and Mo and Marisol’s initial make out too right) Katie isn’t even in her brace. Katie says she still has some pain as Bianca walks by. Drew asks about how the meeting went and about all the college paraphernalia. Drew then suggests Katie help her with the essays and stuff and Katie is much too willing to do this.

Mo and Jake are studying…and side note I flipping love this bromance and wish we had more of it aside from this episode and a few near the end arch of season 12….but Mo is distracted. Mo asks Jake if he gets girls…. Jake wants to know get or Get?....Mo means the former…as a means of understanding and not sexual. He then tells Jake how Marisol is hot and then cold she’s yes then she’s know she’s in then she’s out she’s up and she’s down…..I could go on and continue my Katy Perry rant but you get the point. Jake asks how into Mo she was on their last date….there hasn’t been a date….Jake says get your head in the game and go on a date.

Katie’s helping Bianca out with school things and giving her a mock interview asking what her greatest skills are….that is skills not performed in a Boiler Room….kidding kidding….but really I’m high and you kind of are reputed to be a slut…..Bianca laughs along with Katie and says how dealing weed probably isn’t a good skill either. Katie says not so fast…. Leave out WHAT was being sold and you can easily market it as business skills. She then asks Bianca all about drug dealing and how she gets hooked up. Bianca tells her about it but it’s in the past…she’s trying to be a better person. Katie likes that and decides to drop all grudges she’s had with Bianca being Drew’s ex and suggests they have a girls night cause Marisol is busy with Mo and she’s got a hidden agenda to score more pills. Katie heads off and Drew shows up after practice wanting to know what Katie’s deal. Drew apologizes for her and being judgy and type A. Bianca says it’s quite the opposite she was friendly and wants a girl’s night. Drew loves that idea since she’s been all depressed and withdrawn and he’s been too busy with football to take care of her and he encourages her. Bianca’s awesome and she deserves to have friends and a bright future.

Alli wants to know when her life became soap…sweetie it hasn’t, and vents to Jenna about how Dave visits Jacinta after everything that happened. They end up googling Jacinta’s name and they find a get well page which has well wishes and notes from her friends giving death threats to Dave.

Katie and Bianca show up at the club and Katie’s worried they’d be busted. Bianca tells Katie to unbutton a bit and comments how she should have just worn a turtleneck and Katie comments how she doesn’t have a whole closet of slut-ware like Bianca. Sidenote….it would have been interesting to of seen Bianca bring Katie club-wear or to have Katie shock Bianca and show up in something low cut because Chloe is stunning and could so of pulled it off and looked hot. The girls get in and ‘Ron Ron’ comments to Bianca long time no see. Bianca tells him to move it and Katie’s giggly asking if he’s a connection.

Jenna walks into the Bhandari living room to see Alli replying to comments on the wall saying to cut Dave some slack. Jenna says she shouldn’t waste time and energy obsessing on the page as Dave shows up and Jenna goes to do her hair.

Bianca comes out of the ladies room and she sees Katie with Ron Ron. He walks off and Bianca asks if he tried hitting on her. He didn’t….but she soon sees Katie with the Oxy cause perfect little Katie isn’t so perfect. Sure she claims that she had a prescription already but her home supply is running low however Bianca can smell an addict from a mile away. Katie tells Bianca she’s under pressure and she doesn’t have it all together like people think and she thought if anyone got trying to live up to a reputation Bianca does. Bianca says how she doesn’t like her reputation much however High Katie just wants to party.

Mo and Marisol go out to the Dot. Marisol is happy they are hanging out outside of school and Mo nods saying it’s time they have a first date. Marisol says when and while this was Mo’s idea of a first date he lies saying he’s taking her to some sky walk at the CN tower and then to a fancy dinner. Sure it’s pricy but Marisol deserves the best.

Katie’s dancing at the club all drugged up however Bianca’s got to be home for curfew. Bianca now gets why Katie wanted to be her friend….so she could score. Katie is high as a kite and Bianca drags her home. She’s contemplating her hands and goes on a rant. Bianca is waiting for her to screw up so she could steal Drew and calls her a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing. Bianca thought Katie really wanted to make amends and Katie tells Bianca she has real friends. Maya comes into the kitchen asking what the noise is and she tells mini Matlin that Katie’s high.

Alli and Dave finish their movie and Alli wants to talk about Jacinta and tells him about the page and the death threats.

Bianca shows up at the Torres home and tells Drew that there was a reason Katie wanted to hang with her and that reason is because she’s an addict. Instead of denying Bianca’s words he asks if he should dump her however Bianca can’t in good conscience tell him to break up with Katie over this because she still loves him and wants him back. He still loves her too and they kiss. Bianca tells her it’s not okay and that Katie’s condition isn’t a joke and he should really take care of her however he loves her too. ….TBC

The next morning Drew asks Bianca if she thought about them and she has been. It was her mistake but she’s done being a home wrecker. He says he’ll dump Katie for her however she doesn’t want to be his rebound. Bianca says if they do get back she doesn’t want it to be on the DL she wants Audra to know. Their chat is halted as Maya comes over to tell them Katie ODed and is in the hospital getting her stomach pumped.

I KNOW I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH…..

Mo greets Jake wanting to end it all. He took Marisol out for coffee and she started doing homework and he then promised her a highly expensive first date that he can’t afford. Jake being the upstanding bros helping bros kind of guy offers him half his commission if he helps on a paint job.

Maya’s talking to Drew and Bianca about the pills and Bianca says how at the club she was off. Maya can’t believe she was forced to go to school and Drew and Bianca ditch to see her.

Mo tells Marisol he has the date all set up however Marisol can’t this weekend. Mo takes it personally especially since she can’t divulge her plans to him.

Katie cries on Drew’s shoulder. She’s in pain and she’s a mess. Her parents think she has a drug problem but she doesn’t she just took a little too much by mistake. She then talks about how Bianca’s friends gave her the pills at the club and they must have been tainted….Bianca goes to correct the account…they didn’t give them Katie bought them….Katie tells Bianca that she took her to the club. Katie then starts breaking down more and Bianca is asked to leave pissed that they are scapegoating her….again.

Alli shows up in the café to sit by Dave who is looking at the page and thanks Alli for defending him. Alli tells him he needs to move on and have a pleasant night and invites him to an all ages stand up show above the Dot.

Bianca is sitting around watching some cooking show and asks her aunt when she can come for parent teacher night. Her aunt bitches her out saying how she skipped curfew and she’s sick of Bianca’s shit and how she’s spiraling downward. Bianca says she just needs someone to believe in her.

Mo shows up to the job with Jake all upset cause his date is off. Jake asks if he’s still going to help and he can always use the extra cash. The boys soon realize they are working at a strip club. Seriously did Glen know he was sending his seventeen year old son to paint a strip club?

Bianca sneaks into the Torres basement while Audra is doing laundry. Audra tells her she could have come in the front and Bianca apologizes saying it’s habitual. Drew is out getting dinner but Bianca wanted to talk to Audra….to thank her for getting her a lawyer and helping her all summer. She designed a bracelet and one day hopes to afford to make it for her. She says she plans on staying away from the family because she’s bad news and that she is grateful that Audra believes in her. Audra tells her there is no need to go away. She tells Audra about how her aunt sucks and won’t go to parent night. Audra offers and Bianca asks WHY after all the drama she caused Drew and Adam why does she like her. Audra comments how she used to be a wild child.

Alli and Dave are at the club however Dave is glued to his phone. Alli is asking for the phone and the comedian starts making fun of their fighting and Dave flips out at the comedian and runs out.

Jake is painting while Mo is flirting with the talent. Jake reminds him this is a professional job and they are underage however Mo wants him to take a few pictures of the girls. He then ends up tweeting the pictures to piss Marisol off and let her know what she’s missing. Jake rolls his eyes saying he doesn’t get girls.

Bianca asks Katie how she’s feeling and Katie tells her and Drew how her dad is pulling her out of school for the rest of the semester and she’s going to do some rehab. She thinks her parents are over reacting however it’s then brought up that if Bianca didn’t take her home it could have been worse. Katie admits drugs aside she really did like hanging with Bianca and then starts to cry hysterically as realization settles in. She’s going to rehab….she’s class president and this was supposed to be her year so why is this happening? Bianca kneels besides her saying how she’ll get through this. She has a loving and supportive family, great friends and she’s got Drew. As Bianca says this latter part Drew gives her a WTF face because he really wanted to dump Katie and get back with Bianca.

Mo asks Marisol if she’s been crying and she says all night. He apologizes to her about the pictures on twitter and how he didn’t hook up with the strippers. Marisol is all huh…what….strippers….but she never saw the pictures as she doesn’t follow him and is in reality crying over how her best friend is going through a live altering crisis.

Dave tells Alli Jacinta’s friends are right and he’s a bad guy and Alli deserves better and if she wants to break up. Alli tells him if that’s what he wants that’s fine however she’d prefer not and they end up together still.

Drew tells Bianca he needs to talk and Bianca says to make it quick as Audra is meeting with her and Mr. P when she’s done with Adam. Drew asks why she said to Katie he’d be there and Bianca says that she’s broke and if he dumped her now she snap. Drew tells Bianca how he wants to be with her and he loves her. Bianca says she knows but right now Katie needs him more. He says it sucks and she knows but they went through worse. Plus putting Katie’s needs above her heart is massive character development.

Mo shows up to see Marisol whose been ignoring him at the Dot. He apologizes for being an idiot and asks about Katie. Marisol’s not supposed to talk about it but tells him how she’s going to counseling for addiction. Mo is in shock….Katie….Katie Matlin? Marisol says she’s interim president of the school and how she doesn’t know how she can do it all….Katie did all the work and she did all the social stuff. She tells Mo this is why she likes him….he’s there to hold her hand and listen.


Bianca gets rave reviews from her teachers and Audra is impressed about all three kids. She then proposes that the family goes for ice cream and Bianca is invited as well. Adam teases that Audra finally has the daughter she wanted and the group head out of the school.
