## Full Summary

Whitney tells Bela and Kimberly about her one-night stand. She's never done anything like that before. While they're talking about it, Leighton comes in. They all stare at her, so she asks what's wrong. Kimberly asks where she was last night. Bela believes she had a one-night stand, too. Leighton says they're roommates, but that doesn't mean she has to tell them where she's going or what she's doing. They just met three days ago. Kimberly says she was worried about Leighton. Leighton agrees to tell them going forward when she won't be home, but that's all they're getting from her. Bela is displeased by that, as she wants to hear about all their sexual exploits.

Kimberly is excited that classes are started. Bela doesn't even know what classes she's taking. She signed up for anything that started with intro. As Bela leaves to go to class, Kimberly stops to take a picture of Essex's founder. As she does, she gets a text from Max asking how they want to tell their friends. She spots Nico and calls out to him. He says his night got nuts after she left the party. He drank too much and woke up some place he shouldn't have been. Kimberly says she does that all the time. Nico sees her books and asks if she's taking French Revolution and Romanticism. She says he is and he says he took it last year and loved it. French is her best subject.

Leighton checks her app and finds that Jillian has messaged her asking to see her again. She blocks Jillian. Her dad calls and celebrates the fact that she's going to Essex like he did. He asks if she made up with Esme and Francesca. Leighton says she doesn't even think about them anymore. They're living separate lives now. He asks if she's met any cute boys. She says she has. She's actually pregnant already and doesn't know who the father is. He begs her to say she's kidding.

Leighton enters her class and sees Esme and Siddhartha talking. She passes them and Esme asks how she's been. Leighton says she's fine and she's made a bunch of new friends. She pretends some nearby students are saving her a seat and goes to sit by them. Professor Tocchini starts the class by welcoming them to Math 350. They're starting with a quick assessment.

Dalton coaches from the sidelines as Whitney practices with her team. Jena calls for Whitney to pass the ball, but instead, Whitney dribbles it down the field and kicks it at Dalton, hitting him in the face. Jena asks her what kind of shot that was.

Whitney storms into Dalton's office and confronts him for having a wife. He says he was going to tell her. He says it's complicated because he and Michelle have been having problems. Whitney tells him never to speak to her again. He insists they're barely married anymore and he thinks what he and Whitney have is real. Whitney repeats that they're done and leaves.

Kimberly is in class when Professor Cassel comes in and welcomes them all in rapid French. She asks them to start by introducing themselves and sharing what they did over the summer. Ian goes first and says he spent the summer in Paris studying at the Sorbonne and volunteering on the restoration of Notre Dame. Next is Tyra, who interned with an environmental activist group in San Francisco. Kimberly is next. She worked at Groomingdales, a dog kennel. She was in charge of sweeping up the nails. The next student was a French translator at the Tokyo Olympics.

Cassel stops Kimberly as she goes to leave. She strongly urges Kimberly to drop the class. She doesn't feel that Kimberly can keep up with such a demanding course. Kimberly insists that she can do it, but Cassel doesn't think she's ready.

Ryan welcomes the eight potentials who have made it to the next round. Eric says they're at least funnier than the people who got cut. Bela starts to tell them about a piece she's working on, but Eric stops her and says new members don't pitch yet. For six weeks, they'll intern as support staff. Those still around in October will submit their final pieces for consideration.

As the members of the Catullan mingle, Bela goes to Evangeline and tries to talk to her. Bela apologizes for them getting off on the wrong foot and asks if Evangeline got her apology email. Evangeline says she replied, but it must have gotten lost. She checks her phone and sends a reply. Bela checks and finds a message that reads, "Fuck you."

Kimberly asks Whitney and Leighton what they thought of their first day of classes and if it was easier or harder than they expected. They both say it was easier. Kimberly gets up to do her homework and starts crying on her way to her room.

Professor Tocchini asks to talk to Leighton about her assessment test. Before he can start, she warns him that her father paid for the building they're in. He says she got the highest score on the assessment and he wants her to join his seminar. She agrees on one condition.

Tocchini announces in front of the entire class that one student did so exceptionally on the test that they've been invited to his advanced section. When he says Leighton's name, she gets up and walks out as Esme and Siddhartha watch.

At the Essex Athletic Center, Whitney and Willow lift weights. Whitney compliments Jena's shoes as she passes, but Jena ignores her and only greets Willow. Willow points out that Jena clearly hates Whitney. Whitney asks what Willow's doing that evening, but Willow is evasive. When Whitney calls her on it, Willow admits she's going to a party at Jena's. Whitney's the only person on the team not invited. Willow promises to put in a good word for Whitney at the party in the hopes of changing Jena's tune.

Bela tells Jocelyn she's disappointed because she thought college would be more crazy and fun than it has been so far. Jocelyn says two weeks ago, she was in Ohio and now she's going to a naked party. Bela asks her more about that.

Bela stands in her underwear as Travis paints fake abs on her. The others come out of their rooms, complaining of the smell. They also say the abs don't look real. She tells them about the naked party. It's like a normal party, but everyone is naked. She wants Whitney, Kimberly, and Leighton to go as well. Leighton refuses to listen to Bela's reasons why she should go and leaves. She tries Whitney next, but Whitney says she can't make it. Kimberly also bails. Whitney is upset that there's a stain on the carpet from Bela's fake tan.

Whitney texts Willow and Willow tells her it's not going to happen, but maybe by next season.

Leighton and Chloe make out in Chloe's mini-van. Chloe says Leighton's hotter than her profile. It's like a reverse catfish. Leighton asks if the car seat comes out because it's in the way. Chloe says it's a whole thing to get it in and out. They start kissing again and Chloe asks if Leighton goes to Essex. She saw Leighton's keychain. When Leighton starts to panic, Chloe realizes she's not out. She's surprised. Chloe herself came out in high school. Leighton says coming out probably made her more interesting, but that won't be the case for Leighton. Chloe says it's hard to find the courage to come out, but it's worth it. Leighton says she likes her identity and doesn't want to become the gay Kappa girl or the lesbian cousin. Leighton came to hook up, not to get lectured. She leaves the mini-van.

Kimberly tells herself she's good at French. Frude comes in and encourages her to go out and socialize, as the first few week is when the bonds are formed. He skipped a party his first weekend and got locked out of an inside joke.

Kimberly races after Bela and Jocelyn. They're excited to have her join them.

Whitney enters a party with a gift and looks around. Willow sees her and asks what she's doing there. Whitney's trying to smooth things over with Jena and brought the gift to facilitate that.

Whitney enters Jena's bedroom and puts the gift on her bed. She overhears Jena and her boyfriend Jason fighting over Jena's soccer schedule. He breaks up with her and leaves. Jena is surprised to see Whitney and asks why she's in her room.

Kimberly, Jocelyn, and Bela stand outside the door of the party surrounded by the clothes others have shed on their way in. They watch as another student comes in, strips, and enters the party. Kimberly's not sure she can do it, but Jocelyn says she's going in. She takes off her clothes and enters the party. Bela and Kimberly agree to get undressed at the same time. They do so quickly and enter the party together.

Leighton runs into Nico and his friends. Nico's surprised to see Leighton alone. He assures her she's not a loser because Esme and Francesca didn't want to live with her. Angelo echoes that statement and Leighton is surprised that Nico told his friends. Leighton is embarrassed and excuses herself to drink until she forgets the conversation.

Bela and Kimberly stand together at the party. Bela tells Kimberly that she's cupping her breasts in shame, so Kimberly puts her arms down. They decide to try mingling. They approach and start talking to Fern and Michael and they correctly deduce that it's Bela and Kimberly's first time because they kept looking down at people's bodies. Bela and Kimberly walk away. Bela's upset that they're not supposed to look at people. Jocelyn comes up to them and asks why they're hanging out alone like creeps. Bela wants to leave, but Kimberly insists on staying and making the most of the party. She asks Jocelyn how they can be more like her. She tells them she started drinking long before she came to the party. Bela and Kimberly decide to try drinking.

Whitney tells Jena there's a gift receipt with the gift. Then she asks if Jena is okay. Jena says her boyfriend just broke up with her because he can't handle their soccer schedule. When Whitney speaks negatively about him, thought, Jena snaps at her, but then agrees that he sucks. But it's not like guys are lining up for her. Whitney doesn't understand that, because Jena is pretty, tall, and great at soccer. Whitney encourages her to move on. Whitney asks if they're good now and Jena says they are, but she's wrong that guys their age can handle being with girls like them.

Jocelyn says it's a naked party, so everyone looks at everyone, but you have to do it quickly so no one notices. Bobby comes up to them and asks if they know where a girl named Sarah is. They don't and he leaves. After he's gone, they laugh over the size of his penis. Bela leaves to get a drink.

On her way, Bela runs into Evangeline. Evangeline isn't pleased to see Bela. Bela says she's sorry she gave Evangeline's boyfriend a handjob, but she's a good person. Evangeline pulls Bela to a quieter spot and tells her she was upset not because of the handjobs, but because she voted for Bela because of her talent and hated to see her resort to using her sexuality to get votes. Bela asks if they can be good now and Evangeline says yes. Bela hugs Evangeline. Some of her makeup rubs off on Evangeline and some of Evangeline's rubs off on her. Bela's excited that they both contoured.

Whitney goes to see Dalton.

Kimberly goes to Nico's frat and tells him he's going to tutor her for her French class. He agrees to do that and Kimberly leaves.

Leighton looks up at the founder of Essex. She tells him he looks stupid and his school sucks. She gets a call from Chloe, checking in on her and telling her it gets better. This infuriates Leighton, who insists her life is great. Chloe says she's living a lie. Leighton knows that. Leighton hangs up and throws her empty liquor bottle at the statue. Campus police flash their lights and start chasing her as she runs away.
