They Never Learn

Allison refuses to speak to Carly. Carly runs into Alex, who pressures her into sharing her anxiety. He leads her to the Gorman Tap, which makes her uncomfortable. He continues to pressure her, but also encourages her to write about her recent difficulties.

In Scarlett’s class, Jaspar reads aloud from William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, and the class discusses whether or not the play’s rapists—punished by being murdered and baked into pies—deserved their punishment. Mikayla argues that they got off easy, but fellow students Ashleigh and Ryan are uncertain that vigilante justice is warranted. Their argument becomes heated and seemingly personal. Scarlett asks if Mikayla would like to speak to her outside of class, but Mikayla storms off. In the hallway, a Detective Flynn waits for Scarlett.

Carly is at the theater on the night of Cabaret’s dress rehearsal, having received a text from Allison saying that she forgot her makeup bag. When she arrives, she finds Allison flirting with Bash. Although Carly is incensed, Allison insists she is choosing to ignore the assault and move on. Carly does not know how to respond.
