1 (8 )
Lucky
1 : Lucky
Benny Scanlon arrives at Yates and makes fast friends with Carmen at Orientation. Will Benny and Carmen be more than friends? Or will the fact that he’s totally… you know… get in the way? His sister Grace hooks him up with unflavored vodka for his pregame, while her boyfriend, Peter, imparts sage senior bro wisdom: get laid day one or suffer the consequences. The stakes couldn’t be higher tbh.
Who's That Girl
2 : Who's That Girl
Benny and Carmen scour the campus for fake IDs so they can join the rest of the freshmen class–including certified HOTTIE Miles–at Rock Bar. Peter comes through for Benny but not even Carmen’s party girl roommate, Hailee, can help her out. Peter flakes on date night at the local Italian restaurant and Grace befriends an elderly woman (for her volunteer hours, duh!). Hailee throws up.
Black and Yellow
3 : Black and Yellow
Benny gets noticed by a secret society and will stop at nothing to get his bestie / security blanket, Carmen, the same attention. Lucky for them, it’s alumni tailgate weekend so she gets to show off her legendary drinking prowess. Peter gets some sobering news from a coked out “brother” and Grace reconnects with Mimi, who is back from her semester abroad. What sport is this tailgate for again?
Boom Clap
4 : Boom Clap
Benny gets caught in a lie so our main besties are in a fight. That won’t stop Carmen from basking in her new legend status from the tailgate. While Grace works the Charli xcx concert, Peter hazes the F&G male pledges. Meanwhile, Carmen is psychologically tortured alongside the female pledges. :/ Oh! And the episode ends with “party 4 u”!
Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites
5 : Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites
It’s Halloweekend and Benny is still on the outs with Carmen so he and Miles have been getting… closer. Carmen and Hailee reconcile just as the latter enters her bad girl era. Grace calls Peter out for treating her like an assistant. Tensions (sexual and otherwise) rise at the annual Chem Party. But who will go home with who (or is it whom)? This episode is so good.
The Edge of Glory
6 : The Edge of Glory
Carmen expertly avoids confronting her disastrous love life while trying to help Benny with his. Grace confides in Janet who pushes her to explore other romantic endeavors. Peter does something drastic that’s gonna make you go “oh my god dude” at the end. Oh, and Hailee has mono!
Welcome to the Black Parade
7 : Welcome to the Black Parade
Carmen tags along with Benny and Grace for an Idaho Thanksgiving, complete with karaoke, a fist fight, and some ghosts from the past. We are nothing if not consistent! Benny regresses in front of his dad, while Carmen and Grace start to understand each other a bit more over some vodka crans and onion rings. But Carmen is still keeping her devastating secret…
Crown on the Ground
8 : Crown on the Ground
It’s finals week and relationships are put to the test (get it?). Carmen forces Benny to explain his web of lies, Grace makes a discovery, Peter goes to get what’s his, Hailee wants to know where her performance enhancing meds are, and Miles wonders what he did wrong. Answers lead to more questions at the final Bader House party of the semester… your jaw is gonna be on the floor, sweetheart!
