Hey.
Hey.
Do you need a ride?
No, I'm good.
My boyfriend's picking me up.
GIRL 1:
Okay.
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
GIRL 2:
Hey, Phil.
PHIL:
Hey, you ready?
Yeah.

(Indistinct chatter)
And remember,
life is a precious gift
and you have so much of it
ahead of you.
If you're ever feeling lost
or hopeless,
please talk to someone.
This school is a safe space
and the faculty's doors
are always open.
Jane will remain in our hearts
now and always.
(Indistinct chatter)
GIRL 3:
It's so sad.
GIRL 4:
You think she's okay?
GIRL 3:
Of course not.
They were best friends.

Josa,
I've been loving your show.
Thank you.
Can't wait for the next episode.
It's so great we're doing this.
My co-stars and I have been
UNICEF ambassadors for a while.
We actually got to visit
their emergency relief site
in Honduras.
It's so important.
Yeah.
Also, college interviewers
have been eating it up.
GIRL 6:
Thanks, Josa.
Thank you so much!
(Chuckles)
GIRL 6:
Can I grab a cookie?
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
Why do only two
Greenwood students
get into Stanford each year?
Olivia, hi!
How are you?
Only Riya
and Alyssa got in last year.
Well,
it varies from year to year,
depending on the class.
And only two got in
the year before that.
Yes, but it's not
a steadfast rule.
Look, don't get caught up
in all this quota nonsense.
Okay.
How many girls applied
early action this year?
(Sighing)
Olivia, you've had
a rough few months.
Right now, you just need
to start focusing on yourself.
Your application is strong,
you're a smart young woman,
and you're gonna get in
somewhere great.
Not somewhere.
Stanford.
Hey, welcome back.
O Captain!
My Captain!
(Olivia chuckles)
- Hey, Richardson.
- How you doing, Champ?
- I'm good.
- Yeah?
Ready to kick
some Oceanview butt?
- You know it!
- Alright, let's do it.
My opponent is goin'
to get up here and tell you
that the only way
America can survive
this competitive
global landscape
is by looking inwards
and cutting off all
foreign philanthropic efforts.
But I'd like to remind you
that our aid,
the wells we built in Somalia,
the schools we set up
in Afghanistan,
and the doctors we sent
to earthquake ravaged Haiti
is the only thing helping us
maintain a positive image
in this world.
(Bell dings)
This is America,
land of the free,
home of the brave,
and protectors
of the disenfranchised.
Let's remind everyone
that we truly believe that.
Thank you.
(Clapping)
(Indistinct chatter)
(Clapping)
(Cheering)
(Chuckling)
Hmm, great job in there.
- Thanks.
- Yes.
You're gonna have room
for another trophy?
I think I can find a place.
Was my second speech okay?
I felt like I flubbed it
in the middle
and I really didn't hit
that last...
- No, you didn't!
- Hi, Mr. R!
Oh, hey, Camille.
Alright, great, this is perfect.
I wanted to introduce you
to Olivia.
She is our stellar
debate team captain.
Olivia, this is Camille.
Hi.
It's so, so nice to meet you.
She just transferred from
Fairstone High in New York
and she's gonna be joining
our debate team.
Yay.
RICHARDSON:
Yeah.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Great.
So I'm gonna introduce you
to the rest of the team.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, sounds good.
See you.
(Indistinct chatter)
OLIVIA:
(Indistinct speech)
(Man chuckles)
MAN 1:
(Indistinct speech)
OLIVIA:
Yeah.
(Man chuckles)
Hi, Sweetie, how was your day?
It was fine.
We won the tournament.
Oh.
That is great.
Well, that debate stuff
is gonna look amazing
on your college apps.
Yeah,
Stanford admission guys
definitely have a hard on
for those trophies.
Uh, please,
let's not talk about college,
hard ons, and my daughter
while I'm trying to eat.
(Woman chuckles)
Oh my God, Dad, please.
- Your mom started first.
- Mm-mm.
You know, anyways,
this food is very good, Dad.
Thank you.
- DAD: Oh, you're so welcome.
- WOMAN 1: Hmm.
Change the subject.
WOMAN 1:
It is good, it's great.
Thank you.

WOMAN 2:
It's not the end of the world.
I'm always here
to talk through your options.
Getting accepted in the spring
is still a possibility.
Consider submitting a letter
to the admissions board.
What kind of letter?
Well,
students sometimes have success
with personal appeals.
Okay, I'll do that.
Don't let this define you.
CAMILLE:
We could discuss that.
RICHARDSON:
Yeah, that'd be great.
CAMILLE:
Yeah. Perfect.
Like after practice
or something.
Yeah, that's like perfect.
- Cool.
- Cool.
Oh.
(Clears throat)
Alright!
Afternoon, everyone.
By now we've all met Camille.
So let's give her a warm welcome
for her first team practice.
- Hey.
- Hey.
CAMILLE:
Hi, guys.
Thank you so much.
Okay, we're gonna divide up
into practice groups,
so Camille,
why don't you join up
with Olivia for today?
Sounds good.
RICHARDSON: Alright, let's have Debbie
with Sydney,
and Crystal with Amelia.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Let's run the case.
I won my last couple of
tournaments on this topic,
but I'm happy to look over
your arguments.
Thanks,
but obviously I won, too,
so I don't really think
that's necessary.
Right.
I'm... I'm talking about
real tournaments
with more than just
a couple of schools attending.
I took notes
during your last debate.
We could start with that.
Why don't you just
read what I have?
Um, I don't remember seein' you
at Nationals last year.
I just think that this team
could really benefit
from my leadership.
(Taking deep breaths)
Are you feeling okay?
(Taking deep breaths)
I'm happy to help you out
anytime!
Fuck you!
Olivia!
Olivia.
Olivia, can you hear me?
(Grunting)
You okay?
Okay,
practice is over for today.
We'll...
we'll pick it up tomorrow.
Here, try to drink some water.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
(Gulping)
I'm sorry.
Hey, I understand
that this has been
a really tough time for you,
but that doesn't make it okay
to disrespect a teammate.
But she started it.
I think it's best if you sit out
this weekend's tournament.
No, please, Richardson.
Olivia,
you're under a lot of stress,
okay?
It's just one competition.
Take the opportunity
to decompress.
(Engine whirring)
Are you fucking kidding me?
(Yelling)
(Horn honking)
(Olivia taking deep breaths)
Hey.
OLIVIA:
Hi.
Looks like you can use a ride.
(Whirring)
(Birds chirping in distance)
Thanks again.
Hey, Liv.
I, um...
(Sighs)
GIRL 2:
I miss her, too.
(Sobs)
Thanks.
(Sighs)
Sweetie, it'll be okay.
It's a deferral,
it's not a rejection.
I know you'll turn this around,
you'll get accepted
in the spring.
Yeah, they'd be idiots
not to have you.
(Munching)
(Flushing)
(Girls chuckling in distance)
CAMILLE:
I don't know.
I mean I'm filling in
as Captain this weekend,
but I'm pretty sure Richardson's
gonna make it permanent.
I mean she literally passed out
during practice.
(Girls chuckling)
It's just kinda sad, you know.
(Chuckling)
GIRL 7:
Oh my God, that's so sad.
CAMILLE: The next thing you know,
she's gonna pass out
during the debate.
(Girls chuckling)
CAMILLE: Well, I've been wanting
to see that,
but only if I was
on the other team, so...
(Girls chuckling)
(Taking deep breaths)
Hey.
(Gasping)
Whoa.
Did you... did you see?
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
N... never mind.
Okay.
Anyways uh,
do you need a ride again?
Um no, I'm... I'm fine, thanks.
I fixed my car.
Cool.
Actually...
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Yeah?
Would you wanna get a coffee
or something?
Uh...
Um, no...
no pressure if you're busy.
No, I don't have anything.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Wow,
this girl sounds like the worst.
You're not wrong.
(Scoffs)
I am so over
high school politics,
I'll kill myself if I don't
get in somewhere soon.
(Chuckles)
(Indistinct lyrics
in background)
I, uh...
I didn't mean...
No, I know.
(Indistinct lyrics
in background)
Who the hell transfers
beginning of senior year anyway?
You said this girl went
to Fairstone High?
OLIVIA: Uh, yeah,
I think it's in New York.
(Typing)
Wait, shut the fuck up.
What?
The dates line up.
It's the same school,
it's Camille.
There's no way to know that.
Wait,
did this girl frame her teacher?
Yes!
You have so much on her now.
No one just moves across the
country for no reason.
Um, okay.
What do you want me to do?
Just like go up to her
in the middle of debate practice
and be like, "Hey, heard you
fake fucked your teacher?"
(Chuckles)
(Girl scoffs)
GIRL 2:
No.
You don't have to
publicly shame her.
just let her know that you're
onto her little secret
and force her to back off.
Easy.
(Indistinct lyrics
in background)
GIRL 2:
Isn't that what you wanted?
I don't know.
What if it's not even true?
(Scoffs)
(Typing)
(Beeping)
Um,
I have to get some work done,
but it was nice to hang.
Yeah, it was, uh...
It was good to see you.
Thanks for um, letting me vent.
(Typing)

(Typing)
For what good is a structure
without its foundation?
When every insignificant thought
is published for the worlds
at a click of a button,
does it not rock
that very foundation?
A beginning implies the start
of a journey,
but as ideas, photos, and more
become increasingly ephemeral,
that journey's length
becomes truncated.
No longer is the beginning
a substantial step
for the world.
(Clapping)
(Phone beeps)
GIRL 2:
I cannot believe you found this.
We got lucky.
She was already 18
when it happened.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
(Chuckles)
Do you have any ideas?
Mm...
I mean you should find some way
to mess with her head a bit.
Honestly, you should DM her
and let her know that you know.
(Chuckling)
Oh, that's way too risky.
(Sighs)
I wish there was a way
we could do it anonymously.
You could, mm...
I mean you could
make a new Connect profile.
She'd have no idea.
(Chuckles)
That is perfect.
I know.
(Chuckles)
I think I left my bag in my car.
Do you have your computer?
Shit, um, I left it at school.
Oh, but I do have my old one.
- Okay.
- GIRL 2: Hang on.
Oh, bingo.
Okay.
(Sighs)
(Chuckles)
(Indistinct lyrics
in background)
What?
How did you...
She must have logged on
last time she was over.
I haven't used this laptop
in months.
(Sighs)
Well, I mean Camille
doesn't know her.
That's kinda fucked up.
Aren't we tryin'
to mess with her head?
(Sighs)
(Chuckles)
Honestly,
Jane would have loved this.
(Chuckling)
You're right.
She totally would.
Plus, there's no way
she'd know it was us.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
Fine, I'm in.
- I'm in.
- Okay.
(Whirring)
(Phone beeps)
(Olivia chuckles)
(Phone beeps)
But if you think
this might be real
I know exactly how you feel
Like you just want it
to be true
Then maybe I'm the one
for you
How about "Don't think
we haven't noticed you
throwing yourself
at Mr. Richardson.
Guess old habits die hard."?
I'm the one for you
Well?
Perfect.
I'm the one for you
()
If you need a break
It's okay
- Okay, bye.
- See you later.
If you think
you made a huge mistake
It's okay
If you're just lookin'
for a friend
It's okay, man
If you can only see
how bad this will end
Okay, sure then, but
If you think
this might be real
(Laptop beeps)
I know exactly how you feel
Like you just want it
to be true
Then maybe I'm the one
for you
(Beeping)
I'm the one for you
I'm the one for you
I'm the one for you
"Your rye-straw hats put on
and these fresh nymphs
encounter...
The minute of their plot
is almost come.
Well done.
Avoid.
No more."
(Indistinct whispering)
MAN 2:
Isabelle, please continue.
(Isabelle clears throat)
ISABELLE:
"This is strange.
Your father's in some passion
that works him strongly.
Never till this day
saw I him touched with anger,
so distempered."
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
No way.
Maybe there's something
on Connect?
- Her profile's not there.
- What?
Wait, we were just messaging
with her this morning.
Shit.
You don't think
she knows it's us, do you?
Oh no, we'd be in Rhode's
office by now.
Liv,
but isn't this what you wanted?
- I don't know.
- Don't over think it.
This is a good thing.
Mission accomplished.
(Chuckling)
OLIVIA: Hey Richardson,
do you have a sec?
Yeah, of course.
What's up?
I just...
(Sighs)
I wanted to apologize
for my behavior last week.
I've been thinking a lot
about the team
and more than anything,
I really wanna do my part
to make it the best
that it can be.
Even if that means sharing
leadership with Camille.
I'm glad to hear you say that.
I really think we can find a way
to combine our strengths
and work together.
NatQuals is just around
the corner
and with a little more effort,
I know we can get the team
to Nationals.
Well, I...
I really appreciate
the go-get-'em attitude,
but unfortunately
Camille decided
that Greenwood
wasn't a good fit,
so she's no longer
a student here.
Oh no, I'm...
I'm so sorry to hear that.
(Birds chirping in distance)
Is there anything else
you wanna talk about?
(Birds chirping in distance)
Um, no.
Okay.
Well, I'm here if that changes.
Okay, thanks.
See you at practice.
Okay.
OLIVIA: Are you sure there isn't a
sample letter you can show me?
(Woman sighs)
Olivia, this is supposed to be
a personal appeal.
Other students' letters
won't work.
Well, what's the right message?
There must be something
that they're looking for.
Just draw from important
moments in your life.
I mean nothing in your first
draft feels uniquely you.
What's something
that they wouldn't already know
from your application?
Send me your next draft
and we can go from there.
GIRL 8:
Oh my God.
(Indistinct whispering)
WOMAN 3: I have to say, Ladies,
I'm pretty disappointed.
Let's hope next week's papers
are more coherent.
(Bell rings)
...beginning, I...
I just couldn't fathom
the words that were
coming out of her mouth.
Hey.
(Indistinct speech)
Hey!
Anyways, she really went
and gave us a big huge
massive paper.
I'm like, "Mrs. West is
legitimately
the worst teacher and I...
I just don't understand."
No.
Yeah, she's trying to sabotage...
(Scribbling)
()
(Sighing)
(Typing)
(Beeps)
ISABELLE:
Nope.
No way.
Mrs. West probably
doesn't even have a Connect.
Look.
ISABELLE:
Oh.
Okay, that's pretty sad.
Yeah.
But we can't.
Well, she knew Jane.
And Jane hated her.
(Sighs)
And don't you think
we'd be pushing our luck?
She has such a bullshit
holier-than-thou attitude.
We have to show people
how shitty West is.
Okay, yes, that's true.
She probably wouldn't give an A
if her life depended on it.
And she made Jane's life
a living hell.
Oh, now this...
This would look so good on you.
Uh-huh.
- Take it.
- Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh no.
Alright.
Um...
One of these better work
for tonight.
What's tonight?
(Sighs)
I'm going to a party with Phil.
He's been acting like
so weird lately.
Oh.
I'm sorry that's annoying.
Yeah.
No, I don't like this.
(Chuckling)
Oh.
Okay, come here.
Oh!
I like this a lot.
(Chuckles)
- Really?
- Yeah.
Should we like double cuff it?
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
You know, there's no way
she'd know it was us.
(Sighs)
She's a teacher.
A private message
is not gonna do anything.
Well, I do have an idea.
(Indistinct chatter in distance)
(Bell rings)
On June 28th, 1914,
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
and his wife Sophie
were assassinated
on a visit to Sarajevo.
This may seem
like a small moment,
but Ferdinand was the heir
to the Austro-Hungarian empire.
His death was the final straw,
fracturing Europe
and starting World War I.
(Girls chuckling)
What's so funny?
(Girls chuckling)
Okay, hilarious, Ladies.
Can we please focus?
(Girls chuckling)
WOMAN 3:
Ha, ha, ha, very mature.
If you cannot use your
computers responsibly,
you cannot use them.
GIRLS: (Together)
Oh!
(Chuckling)
That's it!
Close your computers,
turn off your phones!
What... What the hell?
- That's it!
- Hey!
What are you doing,
you entitled bitches?
Stop it!
Mia, what are you typing?
- Give me that computer.
- Let... let go!
(Gasps)
(Mia grunting)
OLIVIA: It's been re-posted like
100 times.
ISABELLE:
Yeah.
People are super freaked out.
(Chuckles)
Honestly, it's a nice break
from talking about
college acceptances.
- Seriously?
- Mmhmm.
By the way uh,
where are you applying?
Uh,
top choice is still Stanford.
We'll see.
Right, right.
Duh.
Well, I'm sure you'll get in.
These headlines are insane.
"Student posthumously exposes
abuse in the classroom.
Elite LA private school's
mysterious scandal."
Wait, her Connect is gone.
She must have deleted it.
Those headlines are kinda harsh.
She's kinda harsh.
Jane is just exposing people
for who they really are.
(Chuckles)
Yeah.
To Jane.
To Jane.

would do that.
GIRL 9:
I know, right?
(Indistinct chatter)
GIRL 11:
It's kind of fucked.
GIRL 12:
It's kind of awesome.
(Indistinct chatter)
Good morning, ladies.
I'd like to talk
about what happened yesterday.
While I don't condone
Mrs. West's behavior,
I also do not condone tampering
with school computers,
publicly antagonizing teachers,
and most of all,
using a former student's
internet presence to do so.
Whoever is behind this,
needs to take a hard look
at themselves
and think
about how their actions
might have triggered people.
Our community is only as strong
as you make it.
Either one of you
volunteers information
or I will sit down
with everyone individually.
Olivia.
Well, we all saw the same thing
I think.
It seemed like someone
was playing a prank
with the projector.
It was rude,
but pretty harmless.
But... but then,
Mrs. West started yelling
and grabbing
our personal belongings.
She really overreacted.
It was pretty scary to see
a teacher lose control
like that.
I don't know how
it got on Jane's page, though.
That was really upsetting.
Thank you for your honesty.
We never want our students
to feel unsafe.
Mrs. West is no longer a member
of our faculty.
However,
she was a well-regarded member
of our community
for over a decade.
It's my responsibility
to get to the bottom of this.
Hmm?
(Bell ringing)
(Indistinct chatter)
(Birds chirping in background)
(Gasps)
(Isabelle gasps)
ISABELLE:
Wow!
Jane has 10,000 followers.
(Sighs)
Wow, that...
that's a serious platform.
She'd be obsessed!
That wasn't really her thing.
If you say so.
So, who's next?
(Chuckling)
MIA: Did you see
what Jane just posted?
Come on,
let's get it started
Uh-huh
You know I came to party,
uh-huh
Uh-huh
And when the beat
goes harder
Uh-huh
We're goin' supersonic
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, gotta get that
Classic like a throwback
So cool like a cool gear
Hands up,
let me hear you clap
Go time, showtime
Yeah
It's go time, showtime
Yeah
It's go time, showtime
(Door opening in background)
Early bird gets the worm!
- Alright!
- Hey.
RICHARDSON: Don't think I haven't noticed
all this hard work
you're puttin' in.
It's good
to have our captain back.
Thanks.
(Indistinct chatter

OLIVIA:
This one about Jenny is so sad.
"It's easy to make it look
like you have a boyfriend
when you crop their actual
girlfriend out
of the group photos."
Nice.
(Chuckles)
Wait, what?
I thought you wrote that?
Huh?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.
ISABELLE:
I know it wasn't me.
No one else has access to Jane,
right?
Of course not.
We changed her password.
I haven't told anyone.
Neither have I.
Okay.
Um, let's just think about this.
I remember you talking about
Jenny in the car last week.
Maybe you posted it then
without thinking.
Yes, whatever.
It's not even
that big of a deal.
Okay.
Um, why don't we just come up
with a rule
where we only post
when we're together?
It's more fun that way anyway,
right?
Sure.

Hey.
I... I just decided this morning.
(Isabelle chuckles)
Congrats.
I didn't know
you were applying early, too.
Yeah, yeah,
it was super last minute.
Any news?
Deferred.
I really hope
we get to go together.
It's what she would have wanted.
(Crying)
()
Getting tough on teachers
will increase
the overall quality
of education,
and uh, and in turn
will provide a strong uh,
foundation for the growth
of our country.
Thank you.
(Clapping)
In a unanimous decision,
we've decided to vote in favor
of the negation.
The Lynley School
wins the final round.
(Audience clapping)
(Indistinct chatter

Hey, how are we doing, Champ?
I'm okay.
Closing argument was bullshit.
(Indistinct chatter)
Oh, hey, great job today, guys.
Really, I mean uh, I think
we know what we need to do
in order to get ready
for the National Qualifications,
yeah?
GIRLS: (Together)
Yeah.
So let's just prep hard,
let's get it done.
Yeah.
Uh, before I let you go, though,
Principal Rhodes
asked the faculty
to talk to the students
about the whole Jane business.
Obviously, cyber bullying
is not cool
but this is a whole another
level of messed up.
So if it's bringin' up
anything difficult for you,
I'm here.
You know, I hope you guys
aren't mixed up
with this shit... stuff.
So uh, okay.
That's it for today.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(Indistinct chatter)
(Bell rings)
ISABELLE:
Hey.
I don't want things
to be weird again.
So uh, look what I snagged.
(Isabelle chuckling)
Can I come in?
Sure, come on.
(Isabelle chuckling)
Oh my God!
(Laughing)
The basketball team!
Those uniforms
were not a good look.
No.
(Chuckling)
Remember...
How we would go
to the pizza parlor
across the street
and we'd shorten our skirts
just in case
we saw any cute boys.
(Chuckling)
That was just you and Jane.
Oh well, it was pathetic.
(Laughing)
(Phone beeps)
(Sighs)
Hmm.
You have to come at this party
with me.
What party?
It's at Phil's house.
I don't wanna get into it,
but uh...
We broke up this week.
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
Look what I got you.
You can wear this.
Um...
- Wooh!
- Ooh.
Voil.
- Hmm, it's cute.
- Um, I...
I... I... I don't think so.
Please, don't make me go alone.
Please, please.
Please, please, please, please.

They say ain't no big deal
ISABELLE:
Welcome.
This ain't no big deal
Leave your fear
by the doorway
ISABELLE:
I need a drink.
Keep on keepin' it real
This ain't no big deal
Gonna strut like I mean it
OLIVIA:
Josa knows Phil?
Uh,
she's always at these things.
Attention's yours
That feelin' I get
ISABELLE:
Wait, what?
A rush to my head
Fuck.
We literally just broke up.
Na, na, na, na, na
Everyone thinks she's as sweet
and wholesome
as that character
she plays on her TV show,
but she's really not.
You know, the whole time
Phil and I were together,
she was flirting with him
and all the boys in his frat.
But you wanna know a secret?
She totally has a coke problem.
- No way.
- Yes way.
Fuck it.
We just need to go dance.
Let's have a good time, okay?
Okay.
(Olivia chuckling)
They say ain't no big deal
Yeah, there you go.
- There you go, come on.
- This ain't no big deal
Spotlight dances across me
It's okay.
(Laughing)
It all feels so unreal
This ain't no big deal
Keep your eyes on me, honey
GIRL 9:
Izzy, hey!
Oh my God!
My feet so white
Attention's yours
That feelin' I get
Hey.
- Josa.
- You okay?
Um, yeah...
How about you mind
your own business?
Well, let me know
if you need anything.
(Chuckling)
Come on.
(Toilet flushing in background)
(Tap running)
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
Come here.
Perfect.
(Sighs)
Oh my God,
I cannot stand
how she's roamin' around here
acting like she's better
than everybody else.
Well, she's not.
It's so fake.
Tell that to Phil.
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
Maybe Jane could say something.
(Mimics snorting)
(Isabelle chuckles)
ISABELLE:
I wish.
No one would believe it.
She has too many fans.
We'd just look like
another stupid internet troll.
(Isabelle sighs)
ISABELLE:
Whatever.
I'm just happy I won't have
to see any of them in the fall.
On a more fun note...
(Chuckles)
Do you want one?
OLIVIA:
What is that?
ISABELLE:
Molly.
- Since when do you...
- It's harmless.
It only lasts a few hours, okay?
And I usually don't,
but it seemed
like a special occasion.
Come on, don't be nervous!
It'll cheer us up
and give you enough energy
to get back up
on the dance floor.
Wait a minute!
What?
What if we slip some to Josa?
What?
Yeah.
It'll show everyone how she's
not so perfect.
No.
Really?
Damn.
Okay, Liv.
(Chuckling)
(Indistinct lyrics

Okay.
(Indistinct lyrics

for our guest of honor.

GIRL 10: Yeah, I'm obsessed with you,
Josa.
No.
(Chuckling)
Yeah.
BOY 1:
Can't stop watching the show.
Yeah, I know.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry
for being such a bitch earlier.
Um, it's okay.
I was just really worried
about Olivia and I snapped.
I feel much better now.
Thank you for caring.
Um, do you want one?
I just really needed a break
from alcohol
and this is all I could find.
Thanks, I'm parched.
(Laughing)
- ISABELLE: Me, too.
- Yeah.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
(Slurping)
ISABELLE:
Oh yeah, that's so good.
Let's finish these up and dance!
- Hmm, hmm, hmm.
- Yeah.
- Hmm, hmm.
- Yeah, yeah.
Hmm.
- Mm.
- Mm.
- Mmhmm.
- Mmhmm.
ISABELLE:
Come on.
(Laughing)
I do what I want
(Laughing)
What I want is to dance
I love you, guys!
(Laughing)
I do what I want
So much!
(Laughing)
Tonight is fucking amazing!
Ah
My heart is racing.
Hey guys, is your heart racing?
I guess we danced a lot, huh?
(Laughing)
I do what I want
(Camera clicks)
What I want is to dance
We go hard
GIRL 13:
Josa!
Josa, come here!
(Laughing)
Superstars
She's right, though,
this is amazing!
Won't fake it anymore
Freak out
We go hard, we go hard
Breakdown
We go hard, we go hard
Ugly and loud
We go hard, we go hard
Won't fake it...
(Laughing)
Oh no.
(Laughing)
(Dog barking in distance)
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm really happy right now.
This is the happiest I've felt
in a really long time.
(Chuckling)
Same.
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
These past few months
have really sucked.
I know.
(Takes a deep breath)
I really miss her.
Are you mad at me?
What?
No!
I love you.
(Chuckling)
I love you, too, but...
(Chuckles)
Are you mad at me?
I should have told you
about Stanford.
I just...
I wish you hadn't disappeared.
I didn't know what else to do.
(Sniffles)
Neither did I.
But before...
(Sighs)
- You left us behind.
- I didn't leave.
(Sighs)
I didn't leave.
I don't know, let's just say
everything was changing

ISABELLE:
What the hell?
Why would you post this?
I didn't.
ISABELLE:
Then how did it end up there?
I... I... I really don't know.
We agreed not to post anything
after she got sick.
Uh, maybe you blacked out?
Where did that video
even come from?
We didn't film that shit.
- OLIVIA: This is bad.
- Yeah.
You swear you didn't tell any
of your friends about Jane?
Of course not, I'm not an idiot!
Okay, well,
I didn't tell anyone either.
Obviously.
Okay, well,
if you didn't tell anyone
and I didn't tell anyone,
then who did?
I have no clue.
Okay.
Okay, um,
no more posting
until this blows over, okay?
Actually, we... we should
just delete the whole profile.
Delete her?
It's not even her anymore.
Fine.
- It's not working.
- Give it to me.
It's done.
Um, I... I have to go.
Text me later?
Hey hon, how was your night?
Fine.
You look awful.
Thanks, Mom.
DAD:
You hungry?
I'm makin' your favorite.
Uh, I'm good.
I'm just gonna nap
and then power through
some college apps.
You should really soak up
whatever you drank
with some food.
By the way, Livi,
I got an email from your school.
Something about Jane
and a cyber-bully.
Parents have been asked
to notify your principal
if they see or hear anything.
Is there anything
you wanna talk about?
No.
MOM: Well, make sure you stay away
from that stuff.
You know, last year a bunch
of kids lost
their college acceptances
because of dumb shit
they posted online.
It stays around forever,
it's not worth it.
But I know you know that.

How the hell could it
have possibly been reactivated?
I have no idea.
WOMAN 4: (On loudspeaker)
Attention, A block Seniors,
please report to the library
student lounge immediately.
(Indistinct chatter)
It has come to my attention
that a serious incident
took place on Saturday evening
at a non-school affiliated event
attended by Greenwood students.
One of your classmates
has been hospitalized
after being slipped
150 milligrams
of the drug MDMA.
That student
is still in intensive care.
Obviously, this is a deeply
upsetting situation,
made worse by the fact that
footage of the attack was posted
by the Connect profile
known as "Jane".
An account I know you are all
familiar with.
Over the coming week,
I will sit down
with each and every one of you
to get to the bottom
of the video post,
as well as whoever is
manipulating the account.
I assure you severe consequences
will land on any student
who has hurt our community
or Jane's memory.
Bet Stanford won't take Josa
after this.
No, her parents can claim
she was drugged,
but I hope she applied
to a safety.
(Girl chuckles)
I can't believe
this is happening.
I keep trying to delete
the page over and over again,
it just keeps coming back.
It m... it must be some kind of
glitch or something.
No, but that...
Let's just get our story
straight, okay?
Sure.
Um, okay.
Um, we... we were at the party.
Um, we... we hung out with Josa.
(Sighs)
We didn't see
anything suspicious
and we... we don't know anything
about who's using Jane, right?
(Sighs)
Right.
I can't believe
I let you talk me into this.
We did this together.
(Sighs)
Will see you tomorrow.
(Door opens and shuts)
(Car whirring)
()
()
Olivia, come in.
(Beeps)
WOMAN 4:
Close the door behind you.
So far these interviews
have been incredibly helpful.
Mm, I'm so glad.
I'll dive right in.
Did you have any interaction
with Josa Jacobs
the night of the incident?
Um, I... I spoke with her briefly
earlier in the evening.
Um, and I was near her
when she started getting sick.
Oh.
Would you say you ladies
were close?
Not really.
Did you see anything
or anyone suspicious
at the party?
No.
It seemed like everyone
was supposed to be there.
WOMAN 4: Did you witness anyone drinking
or doing drugs?
Uh, there was alcohol.
I'm... I'm not really sure
about anything else.
Mmhmm.
And how about anyone
who would want to harm Josa?
Any grudges, rivalries,
arguments?
You know,
no one's coming to mind.
Everyone really seems
to like her.
WOMAN 4: And have you ever had any
interaction with Jane's account?
Uh, not since she...
WOMAN 4: Is there something
you wanna tell me?
Anything else you wanna say?
No.
Olivia, your name has come up
a number of times
in these sessions,
and I know you and Jane
were very close,
and I'm sure this year has been
incredibly difficult for you,
but now is the time to speak up.
I swear
I don't know anything else.
(Phone rings)
Yeah, one moment.
I have to take this.
Hello.
Yes, it's a fine time.
We'll pick this up later.
Yeah.
Uh.
Uh, yeah.
Yes, the IP address responsible
for the account would be great.
Well, the beginning of next
week would be just fine.
Oh, really appreciate your help
and expertise...
(Taking deep breaths)
(Sobbing)
What?
(Grunting)
(Thud)
ISABELLE:
Olivia.
Olivia, you okay?
Olivia.
Feeling better?
Maybe it doesn't matter
if Rhodes gets the IP address.
Maybe not to you,
but if she does,
it'll lead her right here.
The first time
we used the account
was on my computer, at my house.
Remember?
I logged in on mine, too.
We have to come clean.
No.
Yes.
They're gonna find out anyways.
This way we can control
the story.
It's not too late.
I... I'm sure that we can
figure something else out.
We can't keep digging
ourselves in this hole.
Maybe if we come clean,
they'll appreciate it
and they'll believe us
when we say
we had nothing to do with Josa.
Blame it on grief.
Say...
Say it got out of hand.
And then what?
You lose Stanford?
We... we don't graduate?
(Sighs)
That's interesting.
What?
Where's your router?
Mm, somewhere in my dad's office
I think.
- Why?
- Be right back.
(Typing)

ISABELLE:
What are you doing?
Everything's gonna be okay.
What?
- How?
- Your parents have a VPN.
ISABELLE:
What about the IP address?
When you have a VPN,
it hides your IP address.
They can't find us.
Are you sure?
100%.
(Sighs)
ISABELLE:
Okay.
Okay, great.
I have to get ready
for this thing.
You should see yourself out.
Okay.

Hello, Ladies.
Ah, just the one I want.
Just come with me.
- Oh!
- I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's okay.
No worries.
Hey, how is that letter
coming along?
- So far so good.
- Good.
(Indistinct chatter

(Gasps)
Oh, s... sorry.
Hi.
I um,
I didn't mean to scare you.
Uh, no, it's okay.
Hey, can I have
some black coffee, please?
Thanks.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What... what are you doing here?
Oh, my... my mom works
down the street.
Do you have a few minutes
to chat?
Um, not really.
I have to get to debate soon.
Right, but you have
like 10 minutes, right?
Please?
Sure, yeah.
I'm really glad I ran into you.
I've been wanting to apologize
for how I acted.
- Oh no, you don't have...
- No, no.
I was super shitty to you.
Honestly, I was dealing
with a lot of fucked up stuff.
But that... that's not an excuse.
Especially,
''cause you were, too.
What?
I...
I learned the truth about Jane.
I'm so sorry.
I... I can't imagine losing
a friend like that,
and at the beginning of
senior year.
Yeah, um, it's okay.
Thank you.
Uh, anyway um, how are you?
Like how's school?
I've been reading
about all this craziness.
Yeah, it's been pretty wild.
You know, I think I might have
been one of the first victims.
Yeah, whoever is using her
is the reason
why I got pulled out of school.
Are you sure?
Back home uh,
there was this teacher
who harassed me
for about a year.
Super inappropriate,
weird sexual stuff.
I told my parents about it,
they didn't believe me.
And then I went to the school
and they turned it
into this big thing.
Because there wasn't any
evidence,
he made it look
like I was lying.
He claims that I was infatuated
with him.
Which is insane.
But the school took his side.
Then my parents
made us move here and...
Yeah, they were too embarrassed
to stay in New York.
That's horrible.
Anyway, whoever it is
found out somehow
and accused me of doing
the same thing here.
And then my mom
saw the messages,
and yet again,
believed some stranger
over her own daughter.
So...
I'm so, so sorry.
Hey, it's not your fault, right?

CAMILLE:
Right?
What?
Oh, you have to get to debate,

You lied about the VPN.
I don't have a secure network.

I didn't lie about the VPN.

I... I haven't deleted anything

There's nothing to talk about.
You tried to frame me.
Did you really think you'd
get away with that?
(Sobs)
Just... just let me explain.
You're pathetic.
The only person you care about
is yourself.
You were too self-absorbed
to even notice
Jane was depressed.
That's not fair.
ISABELLE:
You're a coward!
(Sobs)
You abandoned us!
You really hurt her!
You have no idea
how she was feeling!
And then, where were you?

- Okay?
- Yeah.
I know this is a really

We appreciate you being willing

WOMAN 5: Did you notice any changes in
Isabelle's demeanour
last few weeks?
Any mood swings,
unusual behavior?
(Sighs)
No.
I wish I could say I did.
We're all under a lot of stress
with college applications,
but Izzy seemed to be handling
it really well.
I guess I thought the same
thing about Jane.
Well, we can never really know
what's goin' on
in someone else's head.
Can you tell us a bit about
your friendship with Isabelle?
Yeah, um...
...we've been neighbors forever.
We used to be best friends
when we were younger.
We only became close again
recently.
I just can't believe she would
do this.
She had so many people
who loved her.

WOMAN 5: And what about
your phone call today?
It was logged
that she called you
shortly before her time

Oh, Sweetie,
don't (Indistinct speech)

It's always a tragedy
to lose someone so young
and full of potential.
And to have it happen twice
in one year
is truly devastating.
Isabelle was
such a special young woman
and I know
we'll all miss her dearly.
As for our current students,
there is always another option.
We're here for you.
And we'll be providing
mandatory grief counseling
over the coming weeks.
This stops here.
Now let's take a moment
of silence for Izzy.
(Birds chirping in distance)
OLIVIA: Dear Stanford Admissions
Committee,
thank you for taking the time
to reconsider my application
following my deferral.
I could tell you how much I've
always wanted to go to Stanford,
how committed I am
to academic excellence,
and how much time I've put into
extracurricular activities,
but you already know all that.
Instead, I'd like to talk
about my best friend,
Isabelle Morris.
Izzy was not only
an intelligent, driven woman,
but she had
an undeniable charisma
and an amazing ability
to bring people together.
She taught me how to look
beyond my GPA
and to connect
with those around me.
Izzy took her own life.
I don't know why she did it.
I don't know what
I could have done to prevent it.
But what I do know is
that she left an indelible mark
upon my world.
When I first applied,
I put down "Undeclared"
on my application.
Despite my extensive resume,
I had no idea
what I wanted to do
with my life.
Now I do.
I want to help people like Izzy.
I want to study mental health.
I want to be there for others
in the same way
that Izzy was there for me.
I wasn't really living my life
until she took me
under her wing.
I vow to continue Izzy's legacy.
Thank you for your time
and consideration.
OLIVIA:
Sincerely, Olivia Brooks.

I didn't wanna hurt you
After all
that we've been through
You show me the plan
But I didn't need your hand
Thought that you could
cross me
Can get out of reach
There's no other way
The secret's going to grave
Keep your friends close
But look by my side
Now my heart knows
my enemy's mine
You can stop me
even if you could try
Yeah, I don't really care
Take a shot now
if you dare
But you should know
Ain't nobody's gonna
take my throne
Even if it's gonna
cost my soul
I'll be careful
when I lose control
'Cause I will leave you
a bloody deed
Pull you out,

Everyone's gonna
watch my tone
I'll be careful when I lose
control

And remember,
life is a precious gift
and you have so much of it
ahead of you.
If you're ever feeling lost
or hopeless,
please talk to someone.
This school is a safe space
and the faculty's doors
are always open.
Jane will remain in our hearts
now and always.

GIRL 3:
It's so sad.

You think she's okay?

Of course not.

Josa,
I've been loving your show.
Thank you.
Can't wait for the next episode.
It's so great we're doing this.
My co-stars and I have been
UNICEF ambassadors for a while.
We actually got to visit
their emergency relief site
in Honduras.
It's so important.
Yeah.
Also, college interviewers
have been eating it up.
GIRL 6:
Thanks, Josa.
Thank you so much!
(Chuckles)
GIRL 6:
Can I grab a cookie?
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
Why do only two
Greenwood students
get into Stanford each year?
Olivia, hi!
How are you?
Only Riya
and Alyssa got in last year.
Well,
it varies from year to year,
depending on the class.
And only two got in
the year before that.
Yes, but it's not
a steadfast rule.
Look, don't get caught up
in all this quota nonsense.
Okay.
How many girls applied
early action this year?
(Sighing)
Olivia, you've had
a rough few months.
Right now, you just need
to start focusing on yourself.
Your application is strong,
you're a smart young woman,
and you're gonna get in
somewhere great.
Not somewhere.
Stanford.
Hey, welcome back.
O Captain!
My Captain!
(Olivia chuckles)
- Hey, Richardson.
- How you doing, Champ?
- I'm good.
- Yeah?
Ready to kick
some Oceanview butt?
- You know it!
- Alright, let's do it.
My opponent is goin'
to get up here and tell you
that the only way
America can survive
this competitive
global landscape
is by looking inwards
and cutting off all
foreign philanthropic efforts.
But I'd like to remind you
that our aid,
the wells we built in Somalia,
the schools we set up
in Afghanistan,
and the doctors we sent
to earthquake ravaged Haiti
is the only thing helping us
maintain a positive image
in this world.
(Bell dings)
This is America,
land of the free,
home of the brave,
and protectors
of the disenfranchised.
Let's remind everyone
that we truly believe that.
Thank you.
(Clapping)
(Indistinct chatter)
(Clapping)
(Cheering)
(Chuckling)
Hmm, great job in there.
- Thanks.
- Yes.
You're gonna have room
for another trophy?
I think I can find a place.
Was my second speech okay?
I felt like I flubbed it
in the middle
and I really didn't hit
that last...
- No, you didn't!
- Hi, Mr. R!
Oh, hey, Camille.
Alright, great, this is perfect.
I wanted to introduce you
to Olivia.
She is our stellar
debate team captain.
Olivia, this is Camille.
Hi.
It's so, so nice to meet you.
She just transferred from
Fairstone High in New York
and she's gonna be joining
our debate team.
Yay.
RICHARDSON:
Yeah.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Great.
So I'm gonna introduce you
to the rest of the team.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, sounds good.
See you.
(Indistinct chatter)
OLIVIA:
(Indistinct speech)
(Man chuckles)
MAN 1:
(Indistinct speech)
OLIVIA:
Yeah.
(Man chuckles)
Hi, Sweetie, how was your day?
It was fine.
We won the tournament.
Oh.
That is great.
Well, that debate stuff
is gonna look amazing
on your college apps.
Yeah,
Stanford admission guys
definitely have a hard on
for those trophies.
Uh, please,
let's not talk about college,
hard ons, and my daughter
while I'm trying to eat.
(Woman chuckles)
Oh my God, Dad, please.
- Your mom started first.
- Mm-mm.
You know, anyways,
this food is very good, Dad.
Thank you.
- DAD: Oh, you're so welcome.
- WOMAN 1: Hmm.
Change the subject.
WOMAN 1:
It is good, it's great.
Thank you.

WOMAN 2:
It's not the end of the world.
I'm always here
to talk through your options.
Getting accepted in the spring
is still a possibility.
Consider submitting a letter
to the admissions board.
What kind of letter?
Well,
students sometimes have success
with personal appeals.
Okay, I'll do that.
Don't let this define you.
CAMILLE:
We could discuss that.
RICHARDSON:
Yeah, that'd be great.
CAMILLE:
Yeah. Perfect.
Like after practice
or something.
Yeah, that's like perfect.
- Cool.
- Cool.
Oh.
(Clears throat)
Alright!
Afternoon, everyone.
By now we've all met Camille.
So let's give her a warm welcome
for her first team practice.
- Hey.
- Hey.
CAMILLE:
Hi, guys.
Thank you so much.
Okay, we're gonna divide up
into practice groups,
so Camille,
why don't you join up
with Olivia for today?
Sounds good.
RICHARDSON: Alright, let's have Debbie
with Sydney,
and Crystal with Amelia.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Let's run the case.
I won my last couple of
tournaments on this topic,
but I'm happy to look over
your arguments.
Thanks,
but obviously I won, too,
so I don't really think
that's necessary.
Right.
I'm... I'm talking about
real tournaments
with more than just
a couple of schools attending.
I took notes
during your last debate.
We could start with that.
Why don't you just
read what I have?
Um, I don't remember seein' you
at Nationals last year.
I just think that this team
could really benefit
from my leadership.
(Taking deep breaths)
Are you feeling okay?
(Taking deep breaths)
I'm happy to help you out
anytime!
Fuck you!
Olivia!
Olivia.
Olivia, can you hear me?
(Grunting)
You okay?
Okay,
practice is over for today.
We'll...
we'll pick it up tomorrow.
Here, try to drink some water.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
(Gulping)
I'm sorry.
Hey, I understand
that this has been
a really tough time for you,
but that doesn't make it okay
to disrespect a teammate.
But she started it.
I think it's best if you sit out
this weekend's tournament.
No, please, Richardson.
Olivia,
you're under a lot of stress,
okay?
It's just one competition.
Take the opportunity
to decompress.
(Engine whirring)
Are you fucking kidding me?
(Yelling)
(Horn honking)
(Olivia taking deep breaths)
Hey.
OLIVIA:
Hi.
Looks like you can use a ride.
(Whirring)
(Birds chirping in distance)
Thanks again.
Hey, Liv.
I, um...
(Sighs)
GIRL 2:
I miss her, too.
(Sobs)
Thanks.
(Sighs)
Sweetie, it'll be okay.
It's a deferral,
it's not a rejection.
I know you'll turn this around,
you'll get accepted
in the spring.
Yeah, they'd be idiots
not to have you.
(Munching)
(Flushing)
(Girls chuckling in distance)
CAMILLE:
I don't know.
I mean I'm filling in
as Captain this weekend,
but I'm pretty sure Richardson's
gonna make it permanent.
I mean she literally passed out
during practice.
(Girls chuckling)
It's just kinda sad, you know.
(Chuckling)
GIRL 7:
Oh my God, that's so sad.
CAMILLE: The next thing you know,
she's gonna pass out
during the debate.
(Girls chuckling)
CAMILLE: Well, I've been wanting
to see that,
but only if I was
on the other team, so...
(Girls chuckling)
(Taking deep breaths)
Hey.
(Gasping)
Whoa.
Did you... did you see?
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
N... never mind.
Okay.
Anyways uh,
do you need a ride again?
Um no, I'm... I'm fine, thanks.
I fixed my car.
Cool.
Actually...
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Yeah?
Would you wanna get a coffee
or something?
Uh...
Um, no...
no pressure if you're busy.
No, I don't have anything.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Wow,
this girl sounds like the worst.
You're not wrong.
(Scoffs)
I am so over
high school politics,
I'll kill myself if I don't
get in somewhere soon.
(Chuckles)
(Indistinct lyrics

I, uh...
I didn't mean...
No, I know.
(Indistinct lyrics

Who the hell transfers
beginning of senior year anyway?
You said this girl went
to Fairstone High?
OLIVIA: Uh, yeah,
I think it's in New York.
(Typing)
Wait, shut the fuck up.
What?
The dates line up.
It's the same school,
it's Camille.
There's no way to know that.
Wait,
did this girl frame her teacher?
Yes!
You have so much on her now.
No one just moves across the
country for no reason.
Um, okay.
What do you want me to do?
Just like go up to her
in the middle of debate practice
and be like, "Hey, heard you
fake fucked your teacher?"
(Chuckles)
(Girl scoffs)
GIRL 2:
No.
You don't have to
publicly shame her.
just let her know that you're
onto her little secret
and force her to back off.
Easy.
(Indistinct lyrics

GIRL 2:
Isn't that what you wanted?
I don't know.
What if it's not even true?
(Scoffs)
(Typing)
(Beeping)
Um,
I have to get some work done,
but it was nice to hang.
Yeah, it was, uh...
It was good to see you.

For what good is a structure
without its foundation?
When every insignificant thought
is published for the worlds
at a click of a button,
does it not rock
that very foundation?
A beginning implies the start
of a journey,
but as ideas, photos, and more
become increasingly ephemeral,
that journey's length
becomes truncated.
No longer is the beginning
a substantial step
for the world.
(Clapping)
(Phone beeps)
GIRL 2:
I cannot believe you found this.
We got lucky.
She was already 18
when it happened.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
(Chuckles)
Do you have any ideas?
Mm...
I mean you should find some way
to mess with her head a bit.
Honestly, you should DM her
and let her know that you know.
(Chuckling)
Oh, that's way too risky.
(Sighs)
I wish there was a way
we could do it anonymously.
You could, mm...
I mean you could
make a new Connect profile.
She'd have no idea.
(Chuckles)
That is perfect.
I know.
(Chuckles)
I think I left my bag in my car.
Do you have your computer?
Shit, um, I left it at school.
Oh, but I do have my old one.
- Okay.
- GIRL 2: Hang on.
Oh, bingo.
Okay.
(Sighs)
(Chuckles)
(Indistinct lyrics

What?
How did you...
She must have logged on
last time she was over.
I haven't used this laptop
in months.
(Sighs)
Well, I mean Camille
doesn't know her.
That's kinda fucked up.
Aren't we tryin'
to mess with her head?
(Sighs)
(Chuckles)
Honestly,
Jane would have loved this.
(Chuckling)
You're right.
She totally would.
Plus, there's no way
she'd know it was us.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
Fine, I'm in.
- I'm in.
- Okay.
(Whirring)
(Phone beeps)
(Olivia chuckles)
(Phone beeps)
But if you think
this might be real
I know exactly how you feel
Like you just want it
to be true
Then maybe I'm the one
for you
How about "Don't think
we haven't noticed you
throwing yourself
at Mr. Richardson.
Guess old habits die hard."?
I'm the one for you
Well?
Perfect.
I'm the one for you

If you need a break
It's okay
- Okay, bye.
- See you later.
If you think
you made a huge mistake
It's okay
If you're just lookin'
for a friend
It's okay, man
If you can only see
how bad this will end
Okay, sure then, but
If you think
this might be real
(Laptop beeps)
I know exactly how you feel
Like you just want it
to be true
Then maybe I'm the one
for you

No way.
Maybe there's something
on Connect?
- Her profile's not there.
- What?
Wait, we were just messaging
with her this morning.
Shit.
You don't think
she knows it's us, do you?
Oh no, we'd be in Rhode's
office by now.
Liv,
but isn't this what you wanted?
- I don't know.
- Don't over think it.
This is a good thing.
Mission accomplished.
(Chuckling)
OLIVIA: Hey Richardson,
do you have a sec?
Yeah, of course.
What's up?
I just...
(Sighs)
I wanted to apologize
for my behavior last week.
I've been thinking a lot
about the team
and more than anything,
I really wanna do my part
to make it the best
that it can be.
Even if that means sharing
leadership with Camille.
I'm glad to hear you say that.
I really think we can find a way
to combine our strengths
and work together.
NatQuals is just around
the corner
and with a little more effort,
I know we can get the team
to Nationals.
Well, I...
I really appreciate
the go-get-'em attitude,
but unfortunately
Camille decided
that Greenwood
wasn't a good fit,
so she's no longer
a student here.
Oh no, I'm...
I'm so sorry to hear that.
(Birds chirping in distance)
Is there anything else
you wanna talk about?
(Birds chirping in distance)
Um, no.
Okay.
Well, I'm here if that changes.
Okay, thanks.
See you at practice.
Okay.
OLIVIA: Are you sure there isn't a
sample letter you can show me?
(Woman sighs)
Olivia, this is supposed to be
a personal appeal.
Other students' letters
won't work.
Well, what's the right message?
There must be something
that they're looking for.
Just draw from important
moments in your life.
I mean nothing in your first
draft feels uniquely you.
What's something
that they wouldn't already know
from your application?
Send me your next draft
and we can go from there.

I just couldn't fathom
the words that were
coming out of her mouth.
Hey.
(Indistinct speech)
Hey!
Anyways, she really went
and gave us a big huge
massive paper.
I'm like, "Mrs. West is
legitimately
the worst teacher and I...
I just don't understand."
No.
Yeah, she's trying to sabotage...

Nope.
No way.
Mrs. West probably
doesn't even have a Connect.
Look.
ISABELLE:
Oh.
Okay, that's pretty sad.
Yeah.
But we can't.
Well, she knew Jane.
And Jane hated her.
(Sighs)
And don't you think
we'd be pushing our luck?
She has such a bullshit
holier-than-thou attitude.
We have to show people
how shitty West is.
Okay, yes, that's true.
She probably wouldn't give an A
if her life depended on it.
And she made Jane's life
a living hell.
Oh, now this...
This would look so good on you.
Uh-huh.
- Take it.
- Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh no.
Alright.
Um...
One of these better work
for tonight.
What's tonight?
(Sighs)
I'm going to a party with Phil.
He's been acting like
so weird lately.
Oh.
I'm sorry that's annoying.
Yeah.
No, I don't like this.
(Chuckling)
Oh.
Okay, come here.
Oh!
I like this a lot.
(Chuckles)
- Really?
- Yeah.
Should we like double cuff it?
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
You know, there's no way
she'd know it was us.

She's a teacher.
A private message
is not gonna do anything.
Well, I do have an idea.

On June 28th, 1914,
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
and his wife Sophie
were assassinated
on a visit to Sarajevo.
This may seem
like a small moment,
but Ferdinand was the heir
to the Austro-Hungarian empire.
His death was the final straw,
fracturing Europe
and starting World War I.

100 times.
ISABELLE:
Yeah.

from talking about
college acceptances.
- Seriously?
- Mmhmm.
By the way uh,
where are you applying?
Uh,
top choice is still Stanford.
We'll see.
Right, right.
Duh.
Well, I'm sure you'll get in.
These headlines are insane.
"Student posthumously exposes
abuse in the classroom.
Elite LA private school's
mysterious scandal."
Wait, her Connect is gone.
She must have deleted it.
Those headlines are kinda harsh.
She's kinda harsh.
Jane is just exposing people
for who they really are.

Yeah.

Good morning, ladies.
I'd like to talk
about what happened yesterday.
While I don't condone
Mrs. West's behavior,
I also do not condone tampering
with school computers,
publicly antagonizing teachers,
and most of all,
using a former student's
internet presence to do so.
Whoever is behind this,
needs to take a hard look
at themselves
and think
about how their actions
might have triggered people.
Our community is only as strong
as you make it.
Either one of you
volunteers information
or I will sit down
with everyone individually.
Olivia.
Well, we all saw the same thing
I think.
It seemed like someone
was playing a prank
with the projector.
It was rude,
but pretty harmless.
But... but then,
Mrs. West started yelling
and grabbing
our personal belongings.
She really overreacted.
It was pretty scary to see
a teacher lose control
like that.
I don't know how
it got on Jane's page, though.
That was really upsetting.
Thank you for your honesty.
We never want our students
to feel unsafe.
Mrs. West is no longer a member
of our faculty.
However,
she was a well-regarded member
of our community
for over a decade.
It's my responsibility
to get to the bottom of this.
Hmm?

ISABELLE:
Wow!
Jane has 10,000 followers.

Wow, that...
that's a serious platform.
She'd be obsessed!
That wasn't really her thing.
If you say so.
So, who's next?
(Chuckling)
MIA: Did you see
what Jane just posted?
Come on,
let's get it started
Uh-huh
You know I came to party,
uh-huh
Uh-huh

This one about Jenny is so sad.
"It's easy to make it look
like you have a boyfriend

girlfriend out

Nice.
(Chuckles)
Wait, what?
I thought you wrote that?
Huh?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.
ISABELLE:
I know it wasn't me.
No one else has access to Jane,
right?
Of course not.
We changed her password.
I haven't told anyone.
Neither have I.
Okay.
Um, let's just think about this.
I remember you talking about
Jenny in the car last week.
Maybe you posted it then
without thinking.
Yes, whatever.
It's not even
that big of a deal.
Okay.
Um, why don't we just come up
with a rule
where we only post
when we're together?
It's more fun that way anyway,
right?
Sure.

I really hope
we get to go together.

Yeah.
So let's just prep hard,
let's get it done.
Yeah.
Uh, before I let you go, though,
Principal Rhodes
asked the faculty
to talk to the students
about the whole Jane business.
Obviously, cyber bullying
is not cool
but this is a whole another
level of messed up.
So if it's bringin' up
anything difficult for you,
I'm here.

It's at Phil's house.
I don't wanna get into it,

We broke up this week.
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
Look what I got you.
You can wear this.
Um...
- Wooh!
- Ooh.
Voil.

They say ain't no big deal
ISABELLE:
Welcome.
This ain't no big deal
Leave your fear
by the doorway
ISABELLE:
I need a drink.
Keep on keepin' it real
This ain't no big deal
Gonna strut like I mean it
OLIVIA:
Josa knows Phil?
Uh,
she's always at these things.
Attention's yours
That feelin' I get
ISABELLE:
Wait, what?
A rush to my head
Fuck.
We literally just broke up.
Na, na, na, na, na
Everyone thinks she's as sweet
and wholesome
as that character
she plays on her TV show,
but she's really not.
You know, the whole time
Phil and I were together,
she was flirting with him
and all the boys in his frat.
But you wanna know a secret?
She totally has a coke problem.
- No way.
- Yes way.
Fuck it.
We just need to go dance.
Let's have a good time, okay?
Okay.
(Olivia chuckling)
They say ain't no big deal
Yeah, there you go.
- There you go, come on.
- This ain't no big deal
Spotlight dances across me
It's okay.
(Laughing)
It all feels so unreal
This ain't no big deal
Keep your eyes on me, honey
GIRL 9:
Izzy, hey!
Oh my God!
My feet so white
Attention's yours
That feelin' I get
Hey.
- Josa.
- You okay?
Um, yeah...
How about you mind
your own business?
Well, let me know
if you need anything.
(Chuckling)
Come on.
(Toilet flushing in background)
(Tap running)
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
Come here.
Perfect.
(Sighs)
Oh my God,
I cannot stand
how she's roamin' around here
acting like she's better
than everybody else.
Well, she's not.
It's so fake.
Tell that to Phil.
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
Maybe Jane could say something.
(Mimics snorting)
(Isabelle chuckles)
ISABELLE:
I wish.
No one would believe it.
She has too many fans.
We'd just look like
another stupid internet troll.
(Isabelle sighs)
ISABELLE:
Whatever.
I'm just happy I won't have
to see any of them in the fall.
On a more fun note...
(Chuckles)
Do you want one?
OLIVIA:
What is that?
ISABELLE:
Molly.
- Since when do you...
- It's harmless.
It only lasts a few hours, okay?
And I usually don't,
but it seemed
like a special occasion.
Come on, don't be nervous!
It'll cheer us up
and give you enough energy
to get back up
on the dance floor.
Wait a minute!
What?
What if we slip some to Josa?
What?
Yeah.
It'll show everyone how she's
not so perfect.
No.
Really?
Damn.
Okay, Liv.
(Chuckling)
(Indistinct lyrics
in background)
Okay.
(Indistinct lyrics

ISABELLE:
Fuck.
One for you.
(Olivia chuckling)
ISABELLE:
One for me.
And a little extra
for our guest of honor.
(Chuckling)
GIRL 10: Yeah, I'm obsessed with you,
Josa.
No.
(Chuckling)
Yeah.
BOY 1:
Can't stop watching the show.
Yeah, I know.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry
for being such a bitch earlier.
Um, it's okay.
I was just really worried
about Olivia and I snapped.
I feel much better now.
Thank you for caring.
Um, do you want one?
I just really needed a break
from alcohol
and this is all I could find.
Thanks, I'm parched.
(Laughing)
- ISABELLE: Me, too.
- Yeah.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
(Slurping)
ISABELLE:
Oh yeah, that's so good.
Let's finish these up and dance!
- Hmm, hmm, hmm.
- Yeah.
- Hmm, hmm.
- Yeah, yeah.
Hmm.
- Mm.
- Mm.
- Mmhmm.
- Mmhmm.
ISABELLE:
Come on.
(Laughing)
I do what I want
(Laughing)
What I want is to dance
I love you, guys!
(Laughing)
I do what I want
So much!
(Laughing)
Tonight is fucking amazing!
Ah
My heart is racing.
Hey guys, is your heart racing?
I guess we danced a lot, huh?
(Laughing)
I do what I want
(Camera clicks)
What I want is to dance
We go hard
GIRL 13:
Josa!
Josa, come here!
(Laughing)
Superstars
She's right, though,
this is amazing!
Won't fake it anymore
Freak out
We go hard, we go hard
Breakdown
We go hard, we go hard
Ugly and loud
We go hard, we go hard
Won't fake it...
(Laughing)
Oh no.
(Laughing)
(Dog barking in distance)
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm really happy right now.
This is the happiest I've felt
in a really long time.
(Chuckling)
Same.
(Indistinct lyrics in distance)
These past few months
have really sucked.
I know.
(Takes a deep breath)
I really miss her.
Are you mad at me?
What?
No!
I love you.
(Chuckling)
I love you, too, but...
(Chuckles)
Are you mad at me?
I should have told you
about Stanford.
I just...
I wish you hadn't disappeared.
I didn't know what else to do.
(Sniffles)
Neither did I.
But before...
(Sighs)
- You left us behind.
- I didn't leave.
(Sighs)
I didn't leave.
I don't know, let's just say
everything was changing
and I thought you guys
had each other.
(Sobs)
I just want things
to go back to normal again.
(Chuckles)

(Olivia chuckles)
Me, too.
I'm really happy we're friends
again.

Izzy?
- Oh my God.
- ISABELLE: Oh, I'm sleeping.
No, you need to see this.
ISABELLE:
What the hell?
Why would you post this?
I didn't.
ISABELLE:
Then how did it end up there?
I... I... I really don't know.
We agreed not to post anything
after she got sick.
Uh, maybe you blacked out?
Where did that video
even come from?
We didn't film that shit.
- OLIVIA: This is bad.
- Yeah.
You swear you didn't tell any
of your friends about Jane?
Of course not, I'm not an idiot!
Okay, well,
I didn't tell anyone either.
Obviously.
Okay, well,
if you didn't tell anyone
and I didn't tell anyone,
then who did?
I have no clue.
Okay.
Okay, um,
no more posting
until this blows over, okay?
Actually, we... we should
just delete the whole profile.
Delete her?
It's not even her anymore.
Fine.
- It's not working.
- Give it to me.
It's done.
Um, I... I have to go.
Text me later?
Hey hon, how was your night?
Fine.
You look awful.
Thanks, Mom.
DAD:
You hungry?
I'm makin' your favorite.
Uh, I'm good.
I'm just gonna nap
and then power through
some college apps.
You should really soak up
whatever you drank
with some food.
By the way, Livi,
I got an email from your school.
Something about Jane
and a cyber-bully.
Parents have been asked
to notify your principal
if they see or hear anything.
Is there anything
you wanna talk about?
No.
MOM: Well, make sure you stay away
from that stuff.
You know, last year a bunch
of kids lost
their college acceptances
because of dumb shit
they posted online.
It stays around forever,
it's not worth it.
But I know you know that.

How the hell could it
have possibly been reactivated?
I have no idea.
WOMAN 4: (On loudspeaker)
Attention, A block Seniors,
please report to the library
student lounge immediately.
(Indistinct chatter)
It has come to my attention
that a serious incident
took place on Saturday evening
at a non-school affiliated event
attended by Greenwood students.
One of your classmates
has been hospitalized
after being slipped
150 milligrams
of the drug MDMA.
That student
is still in intensive care.
Obviously, this is a deeply
upsetting situation,
made worse by the fact that
footage of the attack was posted
by the Connect profile
known as "Jane".
An account I know you are all
familiar with.
Over the coming week,
I will sit down
with each and every one of you
to get to the bottom
of the video post,
as well as whoever is
manipulating the account.
I assure you severe consequences
will land on any student
who has hurt our community
or Jane's memory.
Bet Stanford won't take Josa
after this.
No, her parents can claim
she was drugged,
but I hope she applied
to a safety.
(Girl chuckles)
I can't believe
this is happening.
I keep trying to delete
the page over and over again,
it just keeps coming back.
It m... it must be some kind of
glitch or something.
No, but that...
Let's just get our story
straight, okay?
Sure.
Um, okay.
Um, we... we were at the party.
Um, we... we hung out with Josa.
(Sighs)
We didn't see
anything suspicious
and we... we don't know anything
about who's using Jane, right?
(Sighs)
Right.
I can't believe
I let you talk me into this.
We did this together.
(Sighs)
Will see you tomorrow.
(Door opens and shuts)
(Car whirring)
()
()
Olivia, come in.
(Beeps)
WOMAN 4:
Close the door behind you.
So far these interviews
have been incredibly helpful.
Mm, I'm so glad.
I'll dive right in.
Did you have any interaction
with Josa Jacobs
the night of the incident?
Um, I... I spoke with her briefly
earlier in the evening.
Um, and I was near her
when she started getting sick.
Oh.
Would you say you ladies
were close?
Not really.
Did you see anything
or anyone suspicious
at the party?
No.
It seemed like everyone
was supposed to be there.
WOMAN 4: Did you witness anyone drinking
or doing drugs?
Uh, there was alcohol.
I'm... I'm not really sure
about anything else.
Mmhmm.
And how about anyone
who would want to harm Josa?
Any grudges, rivalries,
arguments?
You know,
no one's coming to mind.
Everyone really seems
to like her.
WOMAN 4: And have you ever had any
interaction with Jane's account?
Uh, not since she...
WOMAN 4: Is there something
you wanna tell me?
Anything else you wanna say?
No.
Olivia, your name has come up
a number of times
in these sessions,
and I know you and Jane
were very close,
and I'm sure this year has been
incredibly difficult for you,
but now is the time to speak up.
I swear
I don't know anything else.
(Phone rings)
Yeah, one moment.
I have to take this.
Hello.
Yes, it's a fine time.
We'll pick this up later.
Yeah.
Uh.
Uh, yeah.
Yes, the IP address responsible
for the account would be great.
Well, the beginning of next
week would be just fine.
Oh, really appreciate your help
and expertise...
(Taking deep breaths)
(Sobbing)
What?
(Grunting)
(Thud)
ISABELLE:
Olivia.
Olivia, you okay?
Olivia.
Feeling better?
Maybe it doesn't matter
if Rhodes gets the IP address.
Maybe not to you,
but if she does,
it'll lead her right here.
The first time
we used the account
was on my computer, at my house.
Remember?
I logged in on mine, too.
We have to come clean.
No.
Yes.
They're gonna find out anyways.
This way we can control
the story.
It's not too late.
I... I'm sure that we can
figure something else out.
We can't keep digging
ourselves in this hole.
Maybe if we come clean,
they'll appreciate it
and they'll believe us
when we say
we had nothing to do with Josa.
Blame it on grief.
Say...
Say it got out of hand.
And then what?
You lose Stanford?
We... we don't graduate?
(Sighs)
That's interesting.
What?
Where's your router?
Mm, somewhere in my dad's office
I think.
- Why?
- Be right back.
(Typing)
(Beeps)

ISABELLE:
What are you doing?
Everything's gonna be okay.
What?
- How?
- Your parents have a VPN.
ISABELLE:
What about the IP address?
When you have a VPN,
it hides your IP address.
They can't find us.
Are you sure?
100%.
(Sighs)
ISABELLE:
Okay.
Okay, great.
I have to get ready
for this thing.
You should see yourself out.
Okay.

(Indistinct chatter)
Hello, Ladies.
Ah, just the one I want.
Just come with me.
- Oh!
- I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's okay.
No worries.
Hey, how is that letter
coming along?
- So far so good.
- Good.
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
(Gasps)
Oh, s... sorry.
Hi.
I um,
I didn't mean to scare you.
Uh, no, it's okay.
Hey, can I have
some black coffee, please?
Thanks.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What... what are you doing here?
Oh, my... my mom works
down the street.
Do you have a few minutes
to chat?
Um, not really.
I have to get to debate soon.
Right, but you have
like 10 minutes, right?
Please?
Sure, yeah.
I'm really glad I ran into you.
I've been wanting to apologize
for how I acted.
- Oh no, you don't have...
- No, no.
I was super shitty to you.
Honestly, I was dealing
with a lot of fucked up stuff.
But that... that's not an excuse.
Especially,
''cause you were, too.
What?
I...
I learned the truth about Jane.
I'm so sorry.
I... I can't imagine losing
a friend like that,
and at the beginning of
senior year.
Yeah, um, it's okay.
Thank you.
Uh, anyway um, how are you?
Like how's school?
I've been reading
about all this craziness.
Yeah, it's been pretty wild.
You know, I think I might have
been one of the first victims.
Yeah, whoever is using her
is the reason
why I got pulled out of school.
Are you sure?
Back home uh,
there was this teacher
who harassed me
for about a year.
Super inappropriate,
weird sexual stuff.
I told my parents about it,
they didn't believe me.
And then I went to the school
and they turned it
into this big thing.
Because there wasn't any
evidence,
he made it look
like I was lying.
He claims that I was infatuated
with him.
Which is insane.
But the school took his side.
Then my parents
made us move here and...
Yeah, they were too embarrassed
to stay in New York.
That's horrible.
Anyway, whoever it is
found out somehow
and accused me of doing
the same thing here.
And then my mom
saw the messages,
and yet again,
believed some stranger
over her own daughter.
So...
I'm so, so sorry.
Hey, it's not your fault, right?

CAMILLE:
Right?
What?
Oh, you have to get to debate,
right?
Yeah, thanks.
Hey,

What do you mean?
IZZY: (On phone)
You lied about the VPN.
I don't have a secure network.
I... I...
I didn't lie about the VPN.
IZZY: (On phone) And I noticed you've been
deleting everything
you posted on Jane.
I... I haven't deleted anything
I swear.
IZZY: (On phone)
What are you doing, dude?
We're both in deep shit here,
so if you have a plan,
please clue me in.
Um, Izzy, we...
we don't need a plan.
Um, you...
you have a private network.
IZZY: (On phone)
You know that's bullshit.
And you know what?
I think you're trying
to pin this all on me.
I just wanted to let you know
that I'm calling Rhodes now

Wait, Izzy, please.

I know.
Um, can we please just talk?
There's nothing to talk about.
You tried to frame me.
Did you really think you'd
get away with that?
(Sobs)
Just... just let me explain.
You're pathetic.
The only person you care about
is yourself.
You were too self-absorbed
to even notice
Jane was depressed.
That's not fair.
ISABELLE:
You're a coward!
(Sobs)
You abandoned us!
You really hurt her!
You have no idea
how she was feeling!
And then, where were you?
I needed you.
All you ever do
is hide behind Jane
instead of dealing
with your own problems!
I'm just happy I won't have

Okay.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
I know this is a really
difficult time.
We appreciate you being willing

WOMAN 5: Did you notice any changes in
Isabelle's demeanour
last few weeks?
Any mood swings,
unusual behavior?
(Sighs)
No.
I wish I could say I did.
We're all under a lot of stress
with college applications,
but Izzy seemed to be handling
it really well.
I guess I thought the same
thing about Jane.
Well, we can never really know
what's goin' on
in someone else's head.
Can you tell us a bit about
your friendship with Isabelle?
Yeah, um...
...we've been neighbors forever.
We used to be best friends
when we were younger.
We only became close again
recently.
I just can't believe she would
do this.
She had so many people
who loved her.

WOMAN 5: And what about
your phone call today?
It was logged
that she called you
shortly before her time

to wish me good luck.
Oh, Sweetie,
don't (Indistinct speech)

It's always a tragedy
to lose someone so young
and full of potential.
And to have it happen twice
in one year
is truly devastating.
Isabelle was
such a special young woman
and I know
we'll all miss her dearly.
As for our current students,
there is always another option.
We're here for you.
And we'll be providing
mandatory grief counseling
over the coming weeks.
This stops here.
Now let's take a moment
of silence for Izzy.
(Birds chirping in distance)
OLIVIA: Dear Stanford Admissions
Committee,
thank you for taking the time
to reconsider my application
following my deferral.
I could tell you how much I've
always wanted to go to Stanford,
how committed I am
to academic excellence,
and how much time I've put into
extracurricular activities,
but you already know all that.
Instead, I'd like to talk
about my best friend,
Isabelle Morris.
Izzy was not only
an intelligent, driven woman,
but she had
an undeniable charisma
and an amazing ability
to bring people together.
She taught me how to look
beyond my GPA
and to connect
with those around me.
Izzy took her own life.
I don't know why she did it.
I don't know what
I could have done to prevent it.
But what I do know is
that she left an indelible mark
upon my world.
When I first applied,
I put down "Undeclared"
on my application.
Despite my extensive resume,
I had no idea
what I wanted to do
with my life.
Now I do.
I want to help people like Izzy.
I want to study mental health.
I want to be there for others
in the same way
that Izzy was there for me.
I wasn't really living my life
until she took me
under her wing.
I vow to continue Izzy's legacy.
Thank you for your time
and consideration.
OLIVIA:
Sincerely, Olivia Brooks.

I didn't wanna hurt you
After all
that we've been through
You show me the plan
But I didn't need your hand
Thought that you could
cross me
Can get out of reach
There's no other way
The secret's going to grave
Keep your friends close
But look by my side
Now my heart knows
my enemy's mine
You can stop me
even if you could try
Yeah, I don't really care
Take a shot now
if you dare
But you should know
Ain't nobody's gonna
take my throne
Even if it's gonna
cost my soul
I'll be careful
when I lose control
'Cause I will leave you
a bloody deed
Pull you out,
so I can watch you fall
Everyone's gonna
watch my tone
I'll be careful when I lose
control
