Stephanie: We start the episode 3 months ago. A group of scared dolls are being ushered into their sleeping pods. They didn’t get to shower before bed, so clearly this is a serious situation.
Lorraine: Who knows what those dolls were doing earlier too. Serious and possibly smelly.
Stephanie: Out in the lobby area, Dominic is yelling orders to his SWAT looking security team. He tells them to secure the exits and shoot people in the head twice. (L: Double tap? ZOMBIES.) As the camera spins around all crazy-like, we see that there are dead bodies strewn out on the floor.

Once Hardin has successfully bullied Tessa into the car, they don't talk for a bit until Hardin asks her about her new look. He thinks its a little "over the top" and cool we're veering into the shaming and/or "you don't need all that make up" territory.
Tessa balls her hands into fists in her lap which is a detail that grabbed me because it's very "I'm afraid and trying to self soothe" to me. She tells him that he didn't have to drive her home and Hardin, being the aces guy he is, tells her to stop being so defensive, he's just saying the makeover is "extreme."

We start just after Steph has finished plucking Tessa's eyebrows, so you know her sex appeal just went up by like 10 points. Steph does Tessa's make-up and she's all nervous about it. I'm almost certain that we've already had 3-4 scenes exactly like this?
Samantha: So. Many. Times. Has. This. Happened. Does this book take place in a time loop?

Tessa asks Hardin wtf he's doing here even though the answer is obviously that he has some tasty Kool Aide samples for them to try. (M: OH YEAH.)
You can stop sweating with anxiety, dear readers! Hardin goes over to the dresser and pulls out a pair of blue and white boxers that are apparently hideous. (M: How hideous can they be without cartoon characters or something on them? What's happening?) Tessa notes that Hardin’s soon to be step mom or father must have bought clothes for him to have here. Hardin leaves the room to change because it’s really nice to have privacy and stuff and to feel comfortable and IT WOULD REALLY SUCK IF SOMEONE FORCEFULLY TOOK THAT AWAY FROM SOMEONE. Ahem.
