        Nah – that’s just baseline interaction-with-other-humans for Sarah. Expressing friendship consists of snarky disapproval of someone’s life choices, followed by participation in said activities, accompanied by a steady stream of grumbled complaints over being “forced” to engage in whatever is going on.

    You know, I know the consensus is that Lucy and Sarah will be rivals for Jacob, and that’s fully possible, but it also could be that Lucy ends up as something of a test for Sarah’s new attempted approach.

    Thing is, they’ve been civil pre-Walky relationship, like I do think Sarah at least can appreciate dealing with someone who takes academics seriously, sort of how she likes Dorothy, but obviously, the Walky stuff put a strain on things, as does Lucy’s naivete. But, Lucy IS showing some more cynicism now, so maybe they’ll meet more in the middle? We’ll see.

    Also, Walky and Lucy in the same place will definitely be interesting and a test of what, exactly, Walky and Dorothy are now.

      True, Lucy supposedly knows how to go to class and to study for tests. That would endear her to Sarah. In theory. And Jacob. If anyone else in the cast loves to check stupid boxes to achieve the imagined approval of relatives like Lucy, it’s Jacob.

      July 3, 2024 at 8:48 am | #

      Yeah I know everyone is hoping Lucy means drama, but I’m really hoping Lucy turns up and is like “HAH! I knew we were friends.” to Sarah because she was the one who invited Lucy to the party.

      Or that Lucy at least realizes that, while cruel, Sarah wasn’t wrong about how fast the rest of the friendgroup dropped her when she and Walky split up.

        Have they dropped her? It’s been what, two or three days since Walky and Lucy broke up, the group doesn’t have to see eachother every day, especially since Lucy lives in a seperate dorm from everyone else.
        Also did Walky actually tell anyone aside from Dorothy that he and Lucy have broken up? That could be why nobodies reached out to her in that case.

          Lucy walked to class with the group yesterday.
          It’s really hard to say she’s been dropped at this point.

          Just as her tongue is loosening up, Dorothy arrives with Walky on her arm.

          Interesting times indeed.

            Alternate script: Lucy was brought up to use alcohol in moderation. This stuff is stronger than she’s used to, but she’s pacing herself and doing well. Walky is hanging around somewhere. Dorothy appears, grabs Walky in a big smooch. Lucy’s eyes grow as large as a tarsier’s. Walky senses trouble with him at the center, and begins looking frantically for the escape pod.

        She roomed with Billie back while she was still drinking, so we know she’s had some exposure.

        Has college really changed so much from my day that another student narcing on a relatively mild party is even something anyone would worry about?

        If it’s trashing the whole floor or something, sure. Or if you’re dealing with a Mary who’s always looking for blackmail material. But a regular college kid you’re thinking of inviting?

    Prediction:

    Lucy shows up, talks to Sarah, and Sarah points out that Walky slept with Dorothy.

    Lucy thinks Sarah is HORRIBLE.

    Lucy not being aware that Walky and she broke up and thinks that Sarah was tormenting her.

        It was on panel and everything, right where we could see it. Not all breakups are pretty and tidy, and not all of them even involve the words “I’m breaking up with you” or “We’re through”. It’s just not necessary, even from a narrative standpoint.

          It was kind of possible at first. If the next time she’d seen Walky, she’d been like “We need to talk” it wouldn’t have been a huge surprise.

          But she didn’t and it’s a lot less likely now.

        I did start with area codes, didn’t I. So Sal probably would count as from another state. Ruth was 16 when she moved from Canada to the US, so maybe a Canadian number maybe a US one.
