Naomi can’t sleep. It’s 2:00 in the morning, and she keeps flashing on
the rape. Finally she turns on the TV.
Harper is interviewing Annie. She says “Just look straight into the
camera and tell me where you see yourself in ten years.” But the lens
cap is still on. Harper tells Silver that when she edits, she should
make sure that bit goes on the blooper reel. Silver gives Harper a
thumbs up, but then gives the sign for shooting oneself to Annie, who
starts giggling. Harper catches it and says that everybody will be
thanking her for this video at the class reunion in ten years. At least
they will if they can get past her secret service detail.

wonderful time the other night, and he wants to see her again. He
invites her to the Surfrider Foundation to benefit Kelly Slater’s house.
Ivy tells him he doesn’t completely suck, and asks when it is. He says
tomorrow night, which is bad because she has agreed to a grovel dinner
with Dixon. She compares him to a puppy who peed on the couch, so you
can’t stay mad at him because he didn’t mean to do it. Oscar says “how
charming”.
Annie shows up at her job over lunch break. Her supervisor, Katherine,
admires her smile, then her figure. Annie gets uncomfortable.
Adrianna doesn’t want to perform at Javier’s memorial service. She says
it’s too painful. She tells Laurel she really doesn’t want to do this,
but Laurel insists, stating that it is really important for Javier’s
family, because Adrianna was the last person to see him alive.
Mr. Cannon is showing his new video camera off to Erin. He tells her to
swing by after work and check it out, but she says she can’t because she
still has about 100 testimonials that she still has to edit. Dixon runs
up and asks if Erin knows where Teddy is, and she says “don’t know,
don’t care” at which Mr. Cannon smiles. Dixon continues on through, and
Erin asks for a raincheck. Mr. Cannon says “Anytime”.

it that stated “had a great time”.

romantic. He has a present for her but he’s not going to give it to her
until she gives him five minutes of face time. Mr. Cannon approaches and
asks if they’re finished. The three say yes, and he starts class. He’s
talking about the New Deal. He starts with Teddy, who was out sick the
day before and didn’t check the website for the reading assignment. Mr.
Cannon gives him an assignment for a 5000 word essay on the subject, and
he wants it on his desk first thing tomorrow morning.
Gym class starts, and the teacher announces that today they are
wrestling. Oscar and Dixon wind up as partners, and things quickly turn
intense, over Ivy. Oscar tells Dixon Ivy is a virgin, and thus wins the
match as Dixon is so thrown off guard.
Harper confronts Teddy about why he has dodged her so hard on doing his
testimonial. He says he’s had a lot going on. She tells him in ten

Silver is editing the testimonials, he agrees to do his immediately.

invites her to a bbq at their house this Saturday. She says she’ll try
to join them.
Ivy teases Dixon about grovel dinner, but he’s too focused on finding
out if she actually is a virgin to hear anything she’s saying. She asks
where this is coming from, and he tells her to just answer the question.
She admits that she lied about losing her virginity when she was 15 at
surf camp. She doesn’t know why she lied. Dixon says he’s glad she felt
she could tell Oscar, and she tells him she didn’t - Oscar guessed. She
said it’s not cool to be a virgin, and he said it’s not about being
cool, it’s about being honest in a relationship because you feel close
to the other person.
Adrianna is working on a song, but she’s stuck. The phone rings, and
it’s Laurel. She says somebody uploaded her singing at the memorial
service to Youtube, and it’s gone viral with over a million hits. The
studio has already booked studio time so they can record it for real.
She’s also going to be on Entertainment Tonight. Then we see Javier’s
uncle first hearing Adrianna’s song, then Javiar’s demo; it’s the same song.
Anna runs her fear that Katherine and her husband are swingers past
Adrianna and Silver. Erin tells her to play dumb.

he thought he was doing, telling Dixon. Oscar says he honestly thought
Dixon knew.

classmate gave her.
Silver sends a text to Teddy, and tells Mr. Cannon she wants to be there
for Teddy. While Silver watches the video, Mr. Cannon watches her. He
interrupts to ask if he can fix her some tea.
One pill got Naomi nowhere, so she takes another two, with what appeared
to be wine.
The tea kettle is whistling, and Mr. Cannon puts something in Silver’s
tea, a crushed up pill. She is completely engrossed in the film, and he
tells her not to let it get cold. She picks up the line that Naomi said
in her testimonial “There’s no animal as brutal as the homo sapien” in
the film. She asks Mr. Cannon if she’s the first person to see this, and
he says you sure are. When he puts his hand on Silver’s shoulder and
says ‘your tea’s getting cold’ she is startled and drops the tea. Silver
says she’s a klutz, and she has to go help Harper, so she’ll leave. She
takes a rain check for next week, and heads out the door.
Katherine asks Annie if she can make it that weekend, and she says she
has plans already. Annie turns to leave, and Katherine asks her to stay,
telling her she has something she wants to talk to her about. Annie
blurts that she’s not a swinger. Katherine didn’t want her to swing. She
wanted to buy Annie’s eggs, for $20,000.
Ivy stops the car and tells Dixon she’s been trying to figure out why
she hasn’t totally opened up to him. She thinks it’s because the last

dad. Dixon tells Ivy her dad is a fool.
