13x16: Spiderwebs Postmortem


Well so it wasn’t the total shit storm I was thinking it would be at least not for me ask others in the fandom and I’m sure they’d be sending the writers hate tweets. The third block of the season however…..well the US promo was the cast going all ‘River Song’ all over the set and by that I mean going ‘Spoilers’ though apparently they got a real teaser in Canada with Drew and Zoe locking lips (cough statchitory rape) Alli and Leo Drama (zzz) And Maya with a GUN (WTF….I wonder if it’s just a BB or Paintball gun or if we’re having another school shooting…..)

Anyway as far as the episode at hand goes….
Drew continues to be a grown ass man and I continue to feel for him this season. He is shocked to find that Bianca is home a day early for break though she tells him it’s cause she got an early ride and wanted to surprise him but her cell needed charging…..she then proceeds to dump him….not in a messy ‘I cheated’ way but she’s just grown as a person since going to school and doesn’t want Drew holding her back. It reminds me of a plot-point in a Roleplay I’m in however it was Krew (Katie/Drew) and Drew broke up with Katie before moving to New York…..and while Drew did eventually move to the city and they reunited Katie’s heart belonged to another and they continued to be each others ‘person’ which in the end it’s clear that’s what Drew and Bianca will forever be with one another….and if the two shall reunite off screen later on….. well so mote it be…..

In the midst of this Clare is all mopy about Eli ‘cheating’ though after being prompted to talk to him by Alli she finds out Eli may of seen Lenore in a state of undress but he cheated with his lips only and not his penis and his heart belongs to Clare…. Clare tells him she blew her magazine job and her shot at going to Columbia…..she lets things gel for a bit and after kissing Drew (It so makes them even right?) and having Eli give her a print out of all their emails over the years (their story) she seems willing to give him another chance…..and the cycle continues.

As for the tenners….. Zoe booked the theater troupe for the Thanksgiving Feast however Tristan promised to spend the day with Maya who is on house arrest per her parentals. Maya has plans of watching the entire Ryan gosling catalogue from his latest hit all the way back to Breaker High (Um Guys….you’re forgetting the Mickey Mouse Club and yes I IMDBed to double check that it came first and it did as well as a handful of other random shows in the early nineties)  Off the record Olivia has more chemistry IMHO with Lyle then with Dylan, Ricardo and Eric and it sucks Tristan can’t be bi/pan and get with Maya…..anyway Maya ends up sneaking into the school in a Turkey outfit wanting to sabotage the show….she ends up getting Tristan to pie Zoe for her and after this Tristan forces the girls to call a truce…. In the spirit of the holidays of course….


Like I said the episode as a whole was much stronger than most of the ones this season so far and I can’t wait to see part two of Dorm Life and the next block which happens earlier then l suspected…..
