Yes, the scenes with the teachers are in the original comic and books, and those of us who have read them were looking forward to seeing them portrayed on the show. This episode is a real turning point in this season, which is one of the things that makes it such a great episode. Be prepared for lots more in the next two episodes as well!
You're totally right about the sheer.... _density_ of major events happening in a single episode. But brace yourself -- it gets exponentially more intense in the final 2.
This is definitely my favourite episode of the season. So much character development. So many feels. Perfectly sets up the final 2 episodes. And Tobie's performance as Isaac is particularly brilliant.
Since you said you haven't read the comics, all the stuff the partygoers say in truth or dare is word for word actually - nod to Alice for making sure all the little details were incorporated!
Honestly they portrayed healthy communication since the second kiss. Nick ran to Charlie in the rain and told him he was so confused and not knowing what is happening but he really like Charlie. This season just shows how much more they have evolved and trust each other it’s why their communication has grown.
While the truth or dare scene is in the book, Tao kissing Charlie is definitely not. But I love this addition because it really reflects Will’s spin on the character of Tao, and his sense of humor. I suspect that it was either ad libbed by Will or just not told to the other cast members. Their surprised reaction was just too good. 😂😂❤❤
Thank you so much for your reaction. We were reminded of their first kiss in s1e3 Harry’s party; the running to room was also from s1e6; Tara came out to Nick first in s1e3 and Nick came out to Tara in s1e6 and he came out to group at Tara’s party s2e6; they communicated their feelings to wait (so important); they recreated Charlie on nick’s back; and the “recharging” scene. For those that read the book, Alice recreated so many memories from the book (v3). The last two scenes are heartbreaking 💔. Acting for all characters is off the charts!!!! Corey do you have Patreon?
Another reaction up to your usual high standard Corey well done. It has always amazed me how they manage to pack so much into such short episodes without it feeling rushed or literally losing the plot.I think that the final two episodes coming up are the best scripted and the best acted of the series, everyone definitely ups their game and it shows. 😁
