See Me

**See Me** is the second episode of the first season of Grand Army, and the second episode overall. The episode released on October 16, 2020 on Netflix.

## Synopsis

Joey stages a protest at school. Owen and Jayson face a harsh penalty for their lockdown prank. A hookup leaves Leila feeling awkward.

## Plot

Joey gets ready for school and receives a few texts from Tim talking about “blowing up the patriarchy”. She’s planning to wear a “Free the Nipple” t-shirt to irritate Ms. Wilder, who accused her of dressing inappropriately.

Sid is anxious about going to school. On the subway with his sister Meera, Sid feels everyone is looking at him because of the color of his skin, particularly due to the terrorist attack. On the way into school, Owen and Jay are playing jazz and the police break it up. Sid is still extremely paranoid around authorities.

Leila asks Rachel why she isn’t wearing a bra. Joey then walks in with a top saying “Free The Nipple”. The plan is to keep the tops covered up until after the quiz. George then walks up to Leila and she feels awkward after they hooked up. He asks if they can hang out later and then asks if she’s going to burn her bra. Rachel is disappointed that Leila’s now going to join Joey’s cause just because of George.

In class, Jay and Owen give Dom the money back that they lost. They ask her for a favor but she isn’t interested in small talk. Sid speaks to a teacher about an essay he wrote, presumably an application for college. She tells him that it’s “just fine” and she recommends that he gets an outside peer perspective to brainstorm on his essay.

In class, Joey takes off her coat and reveals her top to Ms. Wilder who doesn’t react initially. Joey is disappointed that she doesn’t react straight away — she pours water over her white top and Ms. Wilder loses it and asks her to step out because it’s offensive that she’s dressed as a “prostitute”.

Joey goes to the principal’s office and explains what happened. The principal says it’s a dress code violation. Joey says it is not a violation and it’s a political movement. The principal opens the door as he feels uncomfortable being in the same room as Joey with a see-through top soaked in water. Joey tries to show the double standard when her male friends walk in with the same top. She then tells him how he’s regulating her body but not theirs. She also says that there are hundreds of girls today not wearing bras and gives him a list of names who will come to speak to him and he will also have to send them home — she notes that there isn’t a code that they need to wear bras. The principal sends her back to class. Joey tells the principal that Ms. Wilder called her a prostitute and wants an apology. Ms. Wilder walks in and apologizes.

Joey is celebrated by all the dance girls for what she did. Tim comes to see her and tells her that she inspires him. They kiss.

Sid meets another student named Victor about his application. He wants to talk about the bomber and perceptions of how people see him. The student thinks it’s a solid idea. Sid is consumed by the boy’s features. Sid’s girlfriend Flora walks in and she asks if he cured her boyfriend. When Sid gets home, he masturbates to men on his laptop.

George and Leila hook up but it’s awkward. George then talks about her dark nipples and he says he likes them. Leila then talks about how she’s half Jewish but he says she’s not technically part of the tribe.

Dom goes out with her mother shopping but it gets awkward as she cannot pay for everything. John comes over as he works there and asks for an employee discount to help her out. Dom is embarrassed when John introduces himself to her mother.

Leila tells Joey that what she did was cool. George quickly brushes Leila off and says he will see her later. Leila video calls her friend and expresses how hooking up with George was fun. George tells Joey that Leila couldn’t make him finish — Joey asks if George did anything for her.

Joey heads home and invites George. She checks out her Instagram and sees how her cause has trended at school. She takes a photo of her pierced nipple and sends it to a group.

Owen and Jay are in trouble because of the lockdown prank that caused Dom to lose money. Dom doesn’t want them to get into trouble but Jay gets suspended for a week. Owen gets a superintendent’s suspension which will mean a hearing as well. A tear runs down Owen’s face. Joey tells Dom that she feels bad.

The episode ends with the text: “This isn’t a cry for attention this is about your entitlement”.
