Lethally Blonde (2024)

[bunniefuu]

[gentle music]

[music intensifies]

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

[dramatic music]

Stay away from me!

[Emma screaming]

[suspenseful music]

Please, please, I just don't

wanna belong anymore, please.

[suspenseful music]

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

[suspenseful music]

Please leave me alone.

Please, just leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

[suspenseful music]

[Emma screaming]

[heavy thud]

[water splashing]

[suspenseful music]

[Emma screams]

[gentle music]

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.

[lively music]

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. [laughs]

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.

[Dyan chuckles]

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.

[lively music]

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.

[lively music]

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. [laughs]

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?

[somber music]

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.

[fly buzzing]

[Professor Vandever] 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.

[bell ringing]

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.

[suspenseful music]

What are you talking about?

That's not the story.

[excited music]

[Tobi] 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?

- [Jennie] I don't see anything.

- [Tobi] 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.

[classical music]

Are you here for

the study group?

Yeah.

Come on in.

[classical music]

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.

[lively music]

Five, six, seven, eight.

[lively music]

[Jennie] I'm gonna find a bathroom.

- [Susan] There's 17.

[foreboding music]

[Norma sobbing]

Hello?

Anyone here?

[Norma sobbing]

[tense music]

Are you hurt?

I just wanna help.

[dramatic music]

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.

[suspenseful music]

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.

[foreboding music]

Norma.

Shh, it's not good to

make yourself so upset.

Did you send him the text?

I'm still working on it.

[foreboding music]

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.

[Norma sobbing]

[sent message sound]

[foreboding music]

[Tobi] Go Jennie, go Jennie.

You can do it.

Yay, get it girl.

Did I win?

Yes.

Did I really win?

Yes!

[girls chattering]

[Tobi] You for sure were.

[bright music]

[somber music]

[Lynda] 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.

[girls laughing]

I have a question.

[dramatic music]

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.

[Susan] 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.

[Lynda] Come on, hurry up.

[tense music]

[girls chattering]

[Tobi] 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.

[rock music]

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 m*rder.

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.

[hypnotizing music]

[Lynda] 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.

[anxious music]

So get un-nervous.

[excited music]

[Gamma President] Just

give me a sec, Beck.

[tense music]

Just need to grab my jacket.

[tense music]

[text message chime]

[Lynda] Good work.

Two more tests and your

initiation is complete.

[tense music]

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.

- [Officer] 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.

[Officer] You have the

right to remain silent.

[Teri] 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.

[Teri] You're arresting me

for something I didn't do.

[Officer] Yeah, yeah, You

can say that to a lawyer.

[Teri] This is absurd.

[phone ringing]

They just arrested Teri.

[Lynda] 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.

[anxious music]

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.

[Susan] Oh my God.

It worked.

I just made up a little story

and he gave me his money.

How do you feel?

Strangely powerful.

[girls giggling]

[Corey] 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?

[romantic music]

[tense music]

[Jennie screaming]

[Corey] Whoa, whoa!

Oh my God!

[dramatic music]

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 k*lled herself.

Oh, wait a minute.

We don't know for sure

that's what happened.

What else could it be?

[Professor Vandever]

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.

[foreboding music]

Hi sweetheart.

[dramatic music]

[Jennie] 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.

[foreboding music]

[door knocking]

[Lynda] 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?

[classical music]

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?

[classical music]

[foreboding music]

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. [laughs]

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.

[tense music]

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.

[anxious music]

Close your eyes.

It'll be easier that way.

At least it was when they did

it to me during my initiation.

[Jennie yelping]

[Jennie screaming]

[anxious music]

[Susan] I shouldn't

have cut so deep.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

[Lynda] I'm glad

you decided to stay.

[Tobi] 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.

[Susan] Well, now, you'll

never mess up like that again

will you? So it works.

[Lynda] Anything

else bothering you?

[Tobi] 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 k*ll him.

[foreboding music]

I was just teasing.

Norma may be onto something.

[foreboding music]

Wait, do you actually

want us to k*ll him?

[Lynda] No, dingdong.

But rumor has it, he's

changed grades for students

who help him change his

sheets, if you catch my drift.

[Jennie] 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.

[Tobi] 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.

[foreboding music]

She's cute.

Yeah, she's cute.

Shut up, Norma.

[foreboding music]

[alarm blaring]

[Norma] Why is that so loud?

[Lynda] It's the alarm, Norma.

It's Teri.

- [Norma] Who is it?

- [Lynda] That Teri girl.

- [Susan] Where is she?

- [Lynda] I don't know.

Just find her.

Look around the corner.

[alarm blaring]

I can't believe

Jennie brought her.

[alarm blaring]

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

[a loud thud]

[Teri grunts]

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.

[somber music]

[doorbell rings]

[laughs] 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.

[Jennie] 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.

[suspenseful music]

Can I use your bathroom?

Yeah, it's upstairs

next to my bedroom.

So. You have like

such a big house.

[Professor Vandever] Thank you.

[Tobi] This is like crazy.

Do you have any pets?

Any girlfriends?

Anything I should know about

before walking into, you know.

[tense music]

[dramatic music]

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?

[suspenseful music]

Teri's all set in the tub.

Want me to bag those up for you?

Sure.

Thanks.

[anxious music]

[tense music]

[Teri gasps]

[water splashes]

Help me!

Help!

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

- Did you see him?

- Who?

[Teri] 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 k*ll

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 k*ll 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.

[Lynda] My light is your light.

We are one in the same.

My light is your light.

We are one in the same.

[Lynda] Sisters today, sisters

tomorrow, sisters forever.

Sisters today, sisters

tomorrow, sisters forever.

- [Lynda] Athena forever.

- [Girls] Athena forever.

Athena forever. Athena forever.

Athena forever.

Athena forever.

[girls cheering]

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?

[Corey] I'll hold down the fort.

- See you.

- Bye, Jennie.

- Be back soon.

- See you.

[Elissa] 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.

[Elissa laughing]

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.

[Jennie] It's not just

money for rent I need.

I need money for

clothes, makeup.

Don't you like the way I look?

[Elissa] 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.

[scoffs] I can't buy

anything with this.

Jennie, how dare you.

Jennie.

Get back here, young lady.

[somber music]

[Jennie] 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.

[police siren wails]

[croquet ball clacks]

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.

[suspenseful music]

Out of the way.

Ugh.

[Jennie] 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.

[suspenseful music]

For your sake, I hope not.

[Susan] Holy guacamole.

Lynda, get in here.

[Lynda] Here.

[Professor Vandever] 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.

[excited music]

[Lynda] I told you to be

clear with him, Norma.

It's over.

[Norma] 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.

[foreboding music]

[Professor Vandever] You're

doing some extra credit

right now.

[Lisa laughing]

[Professor Vandever] 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?

[foreboding music]

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.

[somber music]

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.

[somber music]

I'll go grab some cash, okay?

Okay.

[suspenseful music]

- You ready?

- Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

[chains rattle]

[lock opens]

[chains rattle]

[lock clicks]

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?

[gentle music]

[girls chattering]

[pills clatter]

- 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.

[Lynda] 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.

[dramatic music]

Oh, Tobi!

Oh my God!

[Lynda] Why's she doing that?

Someone help! Help!

[dramatic music]

[Elissa] Tobi, can you hear me?

[heart monitor beeps]

Corey, I need that

Lorazepam now.

[tense music]

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.

[Elissa] Tobi, can you hear me?

[Corey] 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.

[tense music]

[Norma coughs]

[dramatic music]

[bubblegum pops]

[Norma screaming]

[splattering crash]

- Do you hear that?

- No.

[girls screaming]

[tense music]

Oh my God!

[Susan] I told her not to leave.

I told her not to chew gum.

I tried to stop her.

I told her not to go. [sobbing]

[Lynda] Now do you believe me?

[tense music]

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 ill*gal 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?

[dramatic music]

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.

[dramatic music]

- 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.

[suspenseful music]

[Teri] 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.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

What do you want? [screaming]

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.

[suspenseful music]

[tense music]

[door rattles]

Hello?

I'm in here.

Hello.

[alarm blaring]

Help!

Somebody help me!

Help! [coughing]

[suspenseful music]

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.

[Elissa] 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.

[suspenseful music]

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.

[Luther] Come with me.

[suspenseful music]

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?

[a slap]

[Jennie yelps]

You make me sick.

[Dyan] Jennie, are you okay?

That woman hit you.

That was an as*ault.

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.

[suspenseful music]

[Luther] 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? [laughs]

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.

[Jennie] 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.

[Jennie] 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.

[tense music]

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.

[suspenseful music]

Don't worry, no

one will hurt you.

[tense music]

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.

[suspenseful music]

[dramatic music]

[Jennie screams]

[phone rings]

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.

[Corey] Doesn't look

like anyone's home.

[Elissa] I don't buy that.

Dyan always returns my calls.

And her car's out front, so.

[knock on the door]

It's locked.

[Corey] Ah, I don't

think anyone's home.

[Elissa] Dyan's car's

still out front.

There. Help me.

[tense music]

[Corey] I got it.

[Elissa] Got it?

Okay.

You check upstairs,

I'll go in the back.

[tense music]

[dramatic music]

Jennie, it's Corey.

[suspenseful music]

[dramatic music]

[heavy thud]

[muffled screaming]

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.

[dramatic music]

[Jennie screaming]

[Elissa] 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.

- [Lynda] I can do this.

- Please, Lynda, please.

I can do this.

[Elissa] You don't

want to, please.

[Lynda] I can do this.

[Lynda screaming]

[Lynda sobbing]

Get out of here! Go!

Get out, go! Get out of here!

[dramatic music]

[Jennie and Elissa screaming]

[tense music]

[Lynda sobbing]

I, I couldn't do it.

I tried, but it's

just I can't do it.

k*lling someone, it's

just, it's too much to ask.

It's just too much to ask.

I'm sorry. [sobbing]

[dramatic music]

[Jennie and Elissa screaming]

[Jennie] 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 w*r.

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?

k*ll 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 k*ll her.

Ignore them, ladies.

We have them

outnumbered, be brave.

The first time you put

someone down is the hardest.

Just do it.

[somber music]

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.

[dramatic music]

[Elissa] Oh. Honey.

Jennie.

[gentle music]

[Elissa] 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.

[Elissa] Wow.

My first byline.

[Corey] "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.

[Elissa] Be safe.

Oh, I have to use the bathroom.

Over there.

I know where it is.

[College Girl] 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.

[girls laughing]

[girl crying]

[suspenseful music]

- [Jennie] 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.
