  1. The amount of hassle it would save if Paige and Kit and the show were allowed to know what bisexuality is

  2. That opening scene with Jenny and Sounder is definitely an homage to Carrie (the movie)–there’s a scene where one of the characters visits Carrie’s grave in a nightmare and her hand reaches up from the grave to grab them. I haven’t seen Carrie in so long though that I can’t remember why that parallel would make sense. It’s probably foreshadowing Tina’s fiancee in Gen Q, lol.

  3. A money on the bed scene is a gross trope and this might be the worst instance of it
