[narrator] Previously on
Cruel Intentions.

[chuckles] Wait.
I just have this thing.

- It's a camera thing.
- [moans]

I trust you.

[Scott] A lot of money is missing,
Blaise.

Scott, why would I lie to you?

We work so well together.

Which means we need
to keep things professional.

After you graduate,
we'll see what happens.

- [moans]
- [Caroline] Yes.

Hi, I'd like to file a complaint.

- Sexual misconduct.
- Shit.

Growing up,
I was actually painfully insecure.

To everyone really, except for Adrian.

He was my tennis coach.

The only reason he had sex with me
was because my mother paid him.

She always makes everything about her.

You know, last I checked,
you were just the wife.

[Caroline] You will hand out the bids.

We will move the pledge
ceremony up to tonight.

Annie will be a Delta by morning.

[Lucien] I'm done playing
with Annie and everyone else.

Love doesn't exist for people like you!

♪ Break it to me gently ♪

♪ Let me down the easy way ♪

[phone chimes]

♪ Make me feel that you still love me ♪

If it's just for one more day ♪

[students chattering]

Fifty-four?

- [phone buzzes]
- Holy crap.

[student 1] Oh, my God.

[student 2] It's Lucien.

[phone chimes]

[student 3] Lucien... [speaks indistinctly]

[panting, moaning on phone]

[person on phone] Lucien.

[Lucien] You like that?

♪ Let me love you 'till the last ♪

♪ Never love again ♪

[music ends]

Have you seen?

Unless what you're referring to
is the inside of my eyelids,

then, obviously, no.

[CeCe] You're gonna wanna...

Well, actually, maybe you're not
going to want to see this.

Maybe I should just explain. Um, so...

Okay, apparently,
and I'm not fully up to speed here,

but from what I was able to gather
vis-à-vis the dining hall

and a particularly rowdy and
impromptu screening on the third floor,

Lucien's, um...

How should I call them?

- Um...
- Sex tapes.

Yes, those.

Well, they seem to have reached
quite a wide audience,

and I just wanted to check in
to make sure you were aware

because of the Annie Grover of it all.

Annie's not on the tapes.

Right. But...

And I don't have all the current data,
but according to my satellite people...

Well, at least the ones
that are still talking to me,

as it turns out, a lot of them were,
apparently, sex partners of...

Anyway, I know
Annie and Lucien were getting close.

Mmm, not close enough to be on the tapes.

Sure, but her virginity aside,
they were close, maybe even kissing close.

And, um, at Scav Hunt...

Well, I mean, people say
lots of things at the Scav Hunt.

It's a very stressful time.

But she did keep saying this thing
about maybe doing it,

or that she should just do it and...
Look, I don't know.

I'm not the best listener,

but there was definitely
talk of closeness,

camaraderie and doing it.

Why are you talking
like a Persian cab driver?

[CeCe] Sorry, I just wanted to flag

that if Annie did have
these feelings of closeness for Lucien,

then she might not be as eager
to jump into something new,

like pledging or committing.

Right, CeCe.

She won't want to commit to Lucien,

which is why she'll need
her sisters more than ever.

Now, it's our job to make
sure we're there for her.

- [moaning]
- [phone chimes]

It sounds like someone wants you.

[Lucien] What'd we say about talking?

[knocks on door]

[moaning continues]

[groans, sighs]

- Hi.
- Are you mad at me?

No. No, I wanted to give this back
and ask if you were okay.

I hope you can appreciate
why I didn't say anything.

It's not like you and I
really discuss those things anyway.

It would have been awkward
to just bring it up out of nowhere.

Like casually drop it into conversation.

Like, "Oh, sorry. By the way, Annie,
Lucien and I made a sex tape.

Anyway, can you hand me the poster board?"

[Annie] No. No, it's fine.

He made a lot of sex tapes
with a lot of people, apparently.

Which doesn't diminish mine.

Right. Of course.

It's just don't you feel betrayed?

Not by Lucien.

I mean, he's a freak,
but I'm totally sex-positive.

Right. But, like, didn't he promise
that it would be private?

Yeah. But it's not like he was the one
who blasted it all around campus.

How do you know that?

It's obvious. It was them.

I got them in trouble.
So this is just their revenge.

No, it's another one
of their sick little stunts.

They don't care about Lucien,

and they certainly don't care
about any of the other women.

Trust me, we are just trophies to them.

Okay, wait, I'm sorry.
Who's "them," exactly?

Mmm?

[Annie] You keep saying "they" and "them."

Oh, it's not Tosh.

Okay.

- I'm talking about the fraternities.
- What?

Wait, so you think that someone
in Alpha Gamma hacked Lucien's phone

and then leaked the tapes?

Wake up, Annie!

This is just another example
of their misogynistic culture.

God, I keep saying this
over and over again,

and it's like no one is listening to me.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

[clicks tongue] I am just so relieved
that you are not mad at me.

No, no, no, I'm not... I'm not mad.

[softly] Nope.

- [grunts, breathes heavily]
- [hip-hop playing on speakers]

Oh, fuck.

[sighs]

[music continues]

Camera adds ten inches, huh?

Nice job.

I was gonna propose to that bitch.

Brother.

[student] Great work, stud.

See? I told you.

Lucien's the bad guy.

And I told you I'm not talking to you
until you return the money that you stole.

The report goes in EOD, Blaise.

Which means, "End Of Day." I checked.

- All right, come on. Think about this...
- EOD means EOD.

[inhales sharply] Scott, you know me.

And I just don't want you to get someone
into trouble who doesn't deserve it.

Especially by EOD.

- [music continues]
- [students chattering]

- [sighs]
- [student laughs]

I guess, uh,
nice guys really do finish last.

Hey, sorry. I'm having trouble
aligning my eyes this morning.

Who's the nice guy in this scenario?

- Definitely not you.
- Okay, stop smirking.

- It's loud. Very loud.
- Wait.

Hey, man. I'm not mad.

I just think a lot of the other brothers
are because of, you know,

their girlfriends mostly.

Well, this has been great.

But I'm gonna go and be horizontal
for an hour or ten.

Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait. Um, just...

[clears throat]

How'd you talk 'em into it?

Talk who into what?

The girls.

Into letting you record them.

[moaning on phone]

- [moaning continues]
- [chuckling]

[door opens]

What the fuck did you do?

From what I saw, you were the one doing,
well, everyone.

They weren't yours.

Technically, you made them for me.

- I trusted you.
- Yeah, we trust each other

and that's how it worked.

Then you said
you didn't want to play anymore.

This isn't a fucking game, Caroline!

It's all a game, Lucien.

It's always been a game.

You just couldn't stand
that I actually had feelings.

- That I cared for her.
- [chuckles] God.

[Caroline chuckles]

[Lucien] For fuck sake!

Hurt yourself?

Isn't that why you did it? To hurt me?

[Caroline] I didn't do anything.

And the link expires in...
Oh, five minutes ago.

Grow up.

[Lucien] You just wanted
to make sure that I had nothing.

- No one but you.
- Oh, please, you never had me.

I know how to hurt you too.

I just showed everyone
exactly who you really are.

It's not my fault they didn't like it.

Hmm.

Well, now I understand why
your mother never fucking loved you.

- [keys jingling]
- [door opens]

[students chattering]

What are you doing here?

What do you mean? I'm always here.

We shouldn't be
in the same room right now.

What?

- Wait!
- [students chattering]

Did I do something
at the department meeting?

I don't think I did.

But sometimes when I don't think I did,
I actually very much did.

And then I tend to end up saying or doing
things that would warrant a cold shoulder.

- But here, I...
- It isn't about the department meeting.

What... What... Then what is it?

It's about the sexual
misconduct complaint.

Wait, what? Against who?

- Against me?
- Against me.

Listen, I'm sorry if I did anything
to make you feel uncomfortable.

[stammers] No, I-I'm not uncomfortable.

I mean, I'm always a little uncomfortable.
But not with you.

I just wish you would talk to me
about it first before reporting it.

- You think it was me? That I reported you?
- You didn't?

Why would I report you?
We haven't even done anything.

It's still months away from graduation
and we didn't even...

Oh, my God. We kissed at the party.

I kissed you. We kissed. We kissed.

CeCe, you gotta stop saying that
over and over again.

Someone probably saw it and reported us.

I just need to figure who it is and then...

Do nothing, CeCe.

I would never do anything
that could hurt you.

Please, I am begging you.

Do absolutely nothing.

I will absolutely do
absolutely not nothing.

[Beatrice] We need to come together.

Sign with us and end misogyny today.

- You are all the victims of society.
- ...of society.

Okay, let me finish.
It's confusing when you just jump in.

Well, you're not letting me say anything.

Because it dilutes the message.

We are the witches they couldn't burn.

Seriously, that doesn't even make sense.

Hey, you, I saw you.
You were on the tapes.

Not me.

[boos]

Stop that.

Unless you're intending
on signing our petition,

- you have no business here...
- Leave.

What?

I'll catch up with you later.

Oh. Okay.

Whatever you want, it's too late.

Your stepbrother gave us
all the ammunition we need.

I'm not here to defend Lucien.

In fact, I'm just as angry as you are.

I seriously doubt that.

We're on the same side.

Except you're part of a system that
enables dozens of women to be victimized.

I understand you have issues
with the system.

But it wasn't the system who
humiliated you in front of that reporter.

- It was you.
- It was Lucien.

He set you up.

He has a way of convincing people
to act against their own best interests.

He did tell me that
bangs were a good idea.

Mmm. Look, I just don't want him
to do this to anyone else.

And I'm concerned he has
his sights set on Annie Grover.

Have you seen her?

Yes. In fact, I have.

And I told her it was all of the Greeks...

Beatrice, you and I both know that it is
wrong to disparage an entire subculture.

So, when you're ready,
let's take down the real predator.

Together.

This victim speaks, no more Greeks.

You know, I'm really glad you don't
hate me after that whole hotel thing.

Oh, trust me,
worse things have happened since.

Oh, yeah, 'cause you like Lucien.

- [inhales sharply] Let's talk about you.
- Right, okay.

So, I-I have this report that
I gotta get into the frat by EOD...

Mm-hmm.

...but it means someone getting in
trouble who I thought was my best friend.

- What did Blaise do?
- He broke at least two commandments.

[Annie] Oh, I mean,
those were written a pretty long time ago.

[Scott] Well, they were written in rock.

I don't know.
What do you think I should do?

I can't really help you
if you don't tell me what he did.

He broke commandments, Annie.

Okay, well, if you think he's a nice guy,
maybe just screw the commandments.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't say stuff like that

'cause God's always listening.
You know that rule?

[chuckles] Well,
maybe just talk to him then?

Try to figure out why he did what he did.

Are you gonna talk to Lucien?

[sighs] I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Where are we going?

[sucks teeth] I was kind of following you.

[clears throat, sighs]

Blandsman. You must be lost.

There's definitely room for a king
in here instead of a queen.

Don't you think?

You should put that measuring tape
back in your pants where it belongs.

Shut the fuck up.
I did measure. It's normal.

Yeah, that's not really information
you just wanna volunteer.

You know, I really can't wait
for you to get out of here.

Oh, if anyone's getting kicked out,
it's Lucien.

Please. You don't get kicked out of a frat
for being awesome.

But you do for stealing.

[chuckling] Yeah.

What's funny?

No, it's just, I don't know.

You fucked Scott
right into this presidency

and fucked yourself
right out of the house.

What do you know, Blandsman?

I know that I was in the meeting when
Scott saw all the checks you had him sign.

He's dumb. He's not Flowers for Algernon.

[chuckles] I told you it was Lucien.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You keep blaming him,
but we both know what's gonna happen

when the National Board
gets that report tonight.

Daddy Russell's gonna protect Scott.

Lucien's Lucien. But you...

you'll get just what you deserve.

Get the fuck out of my room.

No job, no friends in high places,
no brothers.

Just a tiny little cell with someone
you probably won't even find attractive.

[breathes deeply]

- [Scott] Oh, hey, man.
- Hey.

Hey, you know,
I was just talking to Annie actually.

- What?
- Ah, you know, we had a little chat.

You know, I said some things.
She said some things.

Okay. And where
did this talking take place?

I don't really know exactly.

Okay. Well, that was helpful.

Hey, uh... [clears throat]
...you didn't take that money, right?

Because Blaise told me you did.

Okay, and I suppose
I framed Roger Rabbit too?

No, no, I-I don't think so.

Why the fuck would I steal the money,
Scott? I'm rich.

Yeah, Blaise is rich too.

- No, man. He's poor as dirt.
- Oh, come on.

The guy wears Dolce & Gabbana underwear.

They're not real.
They're fake. Just like he is. Fuck.

[Beatrice] If you would
just sign the petition.

This is not a personal issue.

This is about the humiliations suffered
at the hands of Greek life.

I'm actually in the middle of something.

Take it back.

I cannot and will not take it back.

You have to.

[scoffs] I don't have to do anything
except seek justice

against the coalition of sex criminals
and other kinds of criminals

that make up Greek life on campus.

Hi. If you wouldn't mind s...

Look, I know you think you saw
me and Professor Chadwick

- kissing at Lucien's party.
- [sighs]

But what you actually saw was me

throwing myself at Professor Chadwick
at Lucien's party,

and Professor Chadwick,
very professionally, I might add,

completely and totally rejecting me.

- [sighs]
- I have no idea what you're talking about.

Cough it up, Beatrice.
I know it was you who made the complaint.

I went through the entire list
of party attendees. Rescind it.

Okay, yes, I know about the complaint,

but only because I work
at the registrar's office.

Not because I made it. [inhales deeply]

Do you have a moment to talk about
the toxicity of Greek life on campus?

Can you just sign the goddamn petition

so I can get a second of goddamn
cooperation in this goddamn lifetime?

[sighs]

Now, tell me who filed the complaint.

I can't. It's anonymous.

But you can ask the administration
when they contact you about it.

They take professors having sex
with students very seriously.

Unlike other sex crimes.

Sex? We didn't have sex.

We kissed, but we didn't have sex.

Well, he must have fucked
some other student then,

because that's what
the complaint was about.

That shut you up.

You okay?

Hey, I'm... I'm really sorry.

For the callous delivery.
And the information itself.

I guess men really do suck. [chuckles]

People suck.

Gender-neutral and true.

- Thanks for being nice to me.
- [chuckles]

I'll sign your petition if you want.

You really don't have to.

And we both know
I'm never gonna win this fight.

Yeah.

People like us don't win.

[birds chirping]

[Blaise] Congressman.

It's really good to see you.
[clicks tongue]

You have a lot of nerve coming here.

I'm guessing you heard
some very unsavory rumors

about the fraternity's finances.

I've heard enough.

[Blaise] Well, that's why I'm here.

I'm afraid Scott might not fully grasp

the gravity of the situation
we find ourselves in.

Well, then, it's lucky I completely
grasp the gravity of the situation.

I'm not sure you do, sir.

You know what, Blaise?
We're gonna circle the wagons now.

As a family.

Well, I've always admired
your commitment to family values.

Uh, just before I go,

I'd like an assurance that
when those wagons are circled,

that I'll end up on the inside.

[scoffs]

After you used my boy as an empty shirt,

manipulated my son into signing checks
to embezzle thousands of dollars,

you've got to be kidding me.

With all due respect, sir,

I think you'll want to hear
what I have to say.

Because, as we both know, there could
be many outcomes to this situation.

[grunts] My guess is that
you take responsibility in none of them.

That's obviously preferable.

For all of us.

Oh, why is that?

Well, I'm going to assume that
you won't want the world to find out

that everybody's favorite Conservative,
Bible-thumping Congressman

has a son that loves to suck cock.

[sighs]

Scott.

[smacks lips] Son.

Your friend is here.

I think you might wanna
come hear what he has to say.

Hey, man. What are you doing here?

Hey, did, uh, Dad tell you the good news?

Um, no.

Not yet.

He was talking so much
he didn't give me a chance to tell him.

I paid back everything that he owed.

Isn't it great?

Look, I know you did it
because you needed the money,

but I decided rocks don't matter.

- Rocks?
- [Scott] Yeah, God's rocks.

Look, my dad understood.

He helped me with the report.

It went in,
just like we messed up on the books.

- Just like you said.
- [Congressman] That's right.

All free and clear.

I can pay it back.

[Scott] No, it's okay.

We're brothers.

Scott and I had a long talk
about your relationship.

Yeah.

And you know
how-how I might be gay for you.

[Congressman] Not sure why
you have that look on your face.

It's the same thing
you just tried to blackmail me with.

[swallows, stammers]
It's not exactly what I was...

It was exactly.

Wait, what-what are
you guys talking about?

You should leave, Mr. Powell.

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

Hi.

Look, I came to apologize.

Okay.

- So, I guess that's what I'm gonna do.
- [door closes]

I'm really sorry, Annie.

Caroline already told me everything.

She did?

[Caroline] I'm just glad I got to her
before you hurt her.

Like you hurt all those other poor women.

- Everything was consensual.
- [scoffs] Even if the sex was consensual,

there are laws against distribution.

You know I didn't distribute them.

Wait, do you know who did?

Do you know, Lucien?

I hope whoever did pays the fucking price.

Well, I think it was noble.

They saved a lot of women
a lot of embarrassment.

[Lucien] Annie,
can we please talk about this alone?

You know I wouldn't lie to you.

If you're telling me the truth,
why can't Caroline be here?

[Caroline] Because, Annie,

he wants to get you alone,

so he can get you to forgive him,
so he can just hurt you all over again.

Because that's what he does.

He pretends he's damaged.

He pretends he's in pain,
but he's really just a bad person.

Okay, that's not true, Annie.
I can explain. [sighs]

[Caroline] We're waiting, Lucien.

If you're such a good guy, go ahead.

I bet she would just love
to hear your explanation.

You know what? You're right.

She's right. I'm a terrible person.

And that's the truth.

I never cared about you.

You meant nothing to me.
You were just another fucking thumbnail.

Wait, that doesn't make sense.

Because I said yes.
You were the one that stopped.

You had the chance, you left.

So, if I'm just another thumbnail,
then why didn't you do it?

Because you were too boring. Okay?

You're a boring girl
with a very powerful father.

And that's the only reason
anyone wants to hang around you.

[Caroline] Okay.
Annie, don't listen to him.

He's just trying to get in your head.

Caroline's right. I'm a piece of shit.

But at least I'm honest about it, okay?

She never will be.

He has to destroy other people's happiness

because he's incapable
of having it himself.

The closer you get to her,
the worse she's gonna fuck you over.

She'll fuck anyone, anytime,
as long as it suits her.

No one's safe. Not even her best friend.

So, yeah, stay the fuck away from me.
But stay the fuck away from her too.

- Haven't you done enough damage, Lucien?
- Oh, you have no idea, Caroline.

[sighs]

[sighs]

I know you think you loved him.

I loved him too.

[sighs]

[CeCe] No, no. Tanya.

Tanya. I don't care
if you think it's a fire hazard

because I will personally
set you on fire myself.

Not even your hypothetical arson
can ruin this, CeCe.

Caroline, I'm sorry.

I just want everything to be perfect,

but you have no idea
the insolence that I'm up against...

CeCe, we did it.

We have Annie. We won.

[CeCe crying]

[Caroline] CeCe?

Why are you crying into the wall
like an Amish schoolmarm?

[inhales deeply]

My mother told me
I'm very unattractive when I cry.

- [CeCe sniffles]
- Go.

[crying continues]

CeCe...

[crying continues]

...everybody's gone now.

So, will you please turn around
and tell me what's wrong?

[breathes shakily, sniffles]

You were right.

About Professor Chadwick.

He was everything you said. A predator.

He was grooming me.

But not me. He didn't want me, he...

Caroline, he had sex
with some other student.

Like maybe even hundreds,
maybe even thousands.

The point is you were right.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry, CeCe.

Oh, I really didn't want to be right
about this one.

No, it's not your fault.
You tried to tell me.

[clicks tongue] Aw.
What can I do for you? Hmm?

Do we need to get you some ice cream?

A pedicure? A gun?

I don't know how to shoot. [chuckles]

Do you want to move the pledge ceremony?

Really? You'd do that for me?

Of course.

You're my best friend.

My sister. You must know that by now.

[sniffles]

I want to do it tonight.

All this has really shown me
that you and Delta Phi

are the only things that really matter.

Are you sure you're up to it?

[CeCe] Yes.

I am your rush chair,
I am your pledge master,

and, as such,
I pledge myself to you, Caroline.

And to Delta Phi, but mostly to you.

I will not let anything distract me
from what's important.

Not ever again.

And I will never forsake our sisterhood.

Tonight's the night. [chuckles]

Annie Grover's my little,
and I will not let you down.

- [chuckling] I'm so excited.
- Me too.

[Blaise] What I did
was pretty fucked up, huh?

Yep.

Listen, I just wanted to say thank you
for getting me out of trouble.

I know it was a big deal,
and I will pay you back.

It's not about the money.

Everything's about the money, Scott.

Not to me.

The only people with the luxury
of saying it's not about the money

- are those who already have it.
- [chuckles]

That's BS, dude.

What do you think it takes, Scott,

just to even step foot through the doors
of a place like this?

Money. It costs money.

It costs money to get in,
and it costs money to stay in.

More and more of it every year.

To fit in,
to have an audience with the alumni,

to have people take you seriously.

Everything costs something.

So, yeah, maybe it's not
about the money for you, Scott.

But when you don't have it,

everything is about the money.

And all I did was take some of it
from people who have so much of it,

they didn't notice it was gone.

You stole, Blaise!

All right. Fine.

I did something bad, and I'm sorry, okay?

And that stuff you said to my dad?

- You think I'm stupid.
- Come on, I made you president.

- So you could get the money!
- It's not just about the money.

- It's... [sighs]
- Then why?

Because you knew I'd suck your dick?

[inhales deeply]

Isn't that why you picked me?

I don't expect you to understand.

No.

For once, I think I do.

[sighs]

[students harmonizing]

[harmonizing ends]

[speaking Latin]

[all speaking Latin]

Look around you.

These are the women
who will be by your side,

holding your hand,

not only for the next four years,

but for the rest of your lives.

Tonight, we become family.

[crickets chirping]

Lucien?

May Alice Morgan,

do you pledge Delta Phi Pi?

I do.

Anne Elizabeth Grover.

Do you pledge Delta Phi Pi?

I do.

[Caroline] Marlo Brynn Strassburg.

- [piano music playing]
- [partygoers chattering, laughing]

So, how are you doing, uh,
with all the Lucien stuff?

I-I saw... I mean,
I didn't watch them all, obviously,

and I didn't take notes or anything.

Um, but in the bits and pieces
that I did view,

limited and respectful as they were,
you were not featured.

So, I guess you didn't end up doing it?

Yeah, I don't really
want to talk about it.

Oh, no worries.

Um... [chuckles]...but he's gonna pay
through the nose for this.

Caroline's not giving up
on getting him prosecuted.

Is that what she said?

The basement's actually
really nice. You'll see.

You know,
we should have listened to Caroline.

It would have saved us both
a lot of heartbreak.

Oh, did something happen
with Professor Chadwick?

Yes. Something did.

He didn't want to sleep with me,
which is not unusual for me,

that's par for the course.

But, as it turns out, he did sleep
with at least one other student.

Maybe even hundreds.

Oh, my God. Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Did he get fired?
- Not yet,

but Beatrice says they take
these kinds of complaints very seriously.

Are you sure you're okay?

Oh, yeah. I'm fine.

Caroline was right.
He's just another Adrian.

Is that an expression?

[CeCe chuckles]

You know, Caroline's the one
that's always been there for me.

And now I get to be that for you.
You're my little.

And that's what Delta Phi's all about,
being there for each other.

We're a family.

And what's family
if not the people you can trust?

Hmm. What's an Adrian though? Who is that?

Oh, didn't I tell you about
my pervert tennis teacher?

A thrust is a thrust is a thrust?

I thought that Caroline said

she lost her virginity
to a tennis teacher named Adrian.

- She did?
- Yeah.

I'm pretty sure it was, like,
her whole story at Heaven.

Oh.

Um...

No, right. Of course.
[chuckles] I wasn't there that night.

- No, we're sisters. We share everything.
- Everything?

Oh, no, no. She didn't have sex
with him too. No, I'm...

At least, I don't think so.
She doesn't even know him.

She would never do anything like that
to me. [inhales sharply]

Hello, how are you?

[inhales sharply] Just so happy
you're here. [chuckles]

- [student] Thanks. Thank you.
- [speaks indistinctly]

- I love this dress.
- [gasps] Thank you so much.

It's perfect on you. Mm-hmm.

So, you wanna tell me
what she's done this time?

I can't.

[sighing] Oh, I'm so sorry.

My poor, beautiful boy.

What can I do for you?

Hmm?

You know, I wouldn't be surprised

if the National Board of Directors
asked me to join them next year.

Not that I would, of course.

Annie was a real triumph.

She certainly was.

So, do you have any information for me?

Have your... What do you call them?

Your streaming network or something?

- Satellite people.
- Right.

Have any of them seen Lucien?

Nope. He seems to have disappeared,
along with the link.

It's for the best.

You never know what can happen
when these things rear their ugly heads.

Well, he's not really ugly.

What is going on with you?
Why are you so dour?

- Is this still about your professor?
- Who?

[scoffs] Come on, CeCe. Buck up.
You dodged a bullet.

Do you know how little money
professors make?

Look at all the good things to come.
You love this part.

Our new pledge class, hazing...

I'll let you pick out the basement girls.

[chuckles] Yeah, you're right.

I'm sorry. I just need something
to throw myself back into.

Exactly.

Lucien's gone, Annie's with us,
and Delta Phi has never been stronger.

Game, set, match.

[CeCe inhales deeply]

You never played tennis, did you?

Hmm?

[upbeat music playing on radio]

[clicks tongue] Yeah,
that's gonna be a no.

House rules.

[inhales deeply] What's next, Blandsman?

Cavity search, maybe?

Won't be necessary.

Oh, who knows? Could've shoved some
shot glasses in the old prison wallet.

You know what, bud?

I think I've seen just about enough of you
for a whole lifetime.

[sighs]

Well, it's been real.

It's been fun.

But it hasn't been et cetera, et cetera.

Hey, Brian.

You have a perfectly nice dick.

Should enjoy it while you still can.

[police chattering]

Well, this was nice.

Let's not mention this to your father.

- Don't worry. We don't talk much.
- Mmm.

[knocks on door]

[strains, grunts]

Have you ever heard of texting?

Your phone is always on do not disturb.

For a reason.
I don't want to be disturbed.

Okay, listen,
I really need to talk to you.

- Look...
- I heard you pledged.

I know you don't like Caroline,
but that's what I'm here about.

She was actually kind of nice to me
after the whole sex tape thing. [scoffs]

Really?

She thinks that Lucien's the real enemy,
which I find refreshing.

She's not one of those women-hating women.
There's a special place in hell for those.

Like when you think someone's your friend,

and then they steal your headband.

[Annie scoffs]
I apologized for that. A lot.

- And I did return it.
- Mm-hmm.

- So, is that all?
- No.

I'm here because while I know
that you work at the register's office...

Registrar's.
And we're not looking for new hires.

Okay.

I was wondering
if there was a way to find out

who made the complaint
about Professor Chadwick.

- Those are anonymous.
- I know.

But off the record.

Off the record?

Are you asking
if I have a way to find out?

I think it might have been Caroline.
