Kimberly and Leighton are quite mad at Nico. Understandably tho.
Whitney telling the truth to all players seemed very scary. Seems like they knew it already but Whitney must be really lucky to have such great teammates that didn't betray her yet (one of them putting out rumors could already pose a huge problem for her).
I did not see Alicia driving a Jeep btw... :o :D
I'm happy for Bela that she got the truth out. Evangeline reacted very well. Eric doesn't seem to be too good with emotional stuff but I do increasingly like him. He's probably a nice gut that just acts a bit "weird". Initially I thought the main problem was that he has a close friendship with Ryan and might need some time to process things but I'm questioning that theory since he read his notes - that felt more like something Evangeline did write and he doesn't fully agree with.
"Can I get a glass of water or something?"
"No." xD
I really liked Bela's outfit with the stars btw - quite pretty (elegant yet not too much).
And I really like it that Leighton told Maya the truth at the end. Nico does have this coming!
I'm sad for Leighton and Alicia though... :o I hope that Leighton will start to miss her so much that she'll come out.
What a moment btw when Leighton and Kimberley met :o :D They both had it coming though. Kimberley even got warned by Canaan. And who is dumb enough to cheat by taking the old exam to the real exam?!? You gotta at least be smart enough to memorize the old exam.
Not sure how things are in America but in Germany we students often have access to old exam through other (older) students. You just practice with them and memorize the solutions and there is nothing illegal about it (AFAIK). It obviously depends on the professor though how similar the old exams will the to current ones (sometimes (but rarely) they actually re-use a lot though).

This is definitely a binge-worthy show, although having 10x 30 minute episodes per season and four main characters, that leaves us with maybe 10 minutes of screentime for each girl... If we're being generous here. I say this, because I understand Kimberly's temptation to cheat on her test... But her just saying she's failing a class without showing us how or why makes the empathy feel weak at best. I want to see at the very least a montage of her getting back homework with F's on the top corner, or her struggling to keep up with classwork because she doesn't do the homework in time. And no, that sex addict episode doesn't count much, 'cos that all happened during one day ( even tho it's said they were a thing for a couple of months after that point ) - if it were an ongoing thing that'd happened for months, then perhaps it would feel more valid. It just feels a little rushed.
I think it'd be interesting if the show had done something like what the SKAM universe does, and have a season per character instead: seeing the POV of, say, Leighton and her working out her sexuality and sense of belonging in a totally new environment for the first season or even just her exclusively for the first 3 episodes, and then next few revolving solely around Whitney trying to prove she's more than a senator's daughter, for example.
I guess I'm just saying that I notice this a lot with tv shows, but there's always a struggle to put in enough character development for everyone when there are multiple main characters. The show does an incredible job so far, but it could definitely be a little better, imo.
