As Jenna continues to mature as a person, and everyone catches up with Tamara, it seems Sadie is no longer the villain of the show. The ever boastful Eva seems to be gearing up to replace Sadie, and Jenna as well as she goes for Matty's heart, and by the end of the season I expect her to be gone. Until then, her backstabbing, blackmailing, and lying self seems to have Matty wrapped around her finger.
Topic 1: Hetero-Flexible - Tamara
With Tamara needing to get over Jake, she decides to follow in Jenna's footsteps and try to find a college guy. Unfortunately for her though, all the Luke types are taken and the one guy she approaches burps on her. Then, to make things worse, she cannot find one sanitary looking bathroom in the place so she ends up in Luke's room with Shane, Luke's lesbian friend. Who, I should add, we meet giving Luke a back massage and despite how annoying Jenna was hours earlier, being that Tamara is a ride or die friend, she is ready to drag Shane and mess her up.
However, upon getting to know her Shane, talk with her, and do her nails, she finds herself put in an awkward situation. Shane reads Tamara vibe and tries to go in for a kiss, which Tamara backs away from. But, seeing as how Shane gets her in a way that Jake, and Ricky to a point, never did, she decides to go with it. Leading to us finding out that she definitely had herself the Big O, multiple times, with Shane. But, Tamara isn't claiming herself amongst the Les-B-Honest club yet. She just sees herself as Hetero-Flexible.
Topic 2: Are You Straight? – Jake & Matty
Meanwhile, down in the county jail, we watch as Matty and Jake get admitted with the odd question of whether they are straight or gay being asked as they go in. Well, at least Jake is asked this. Anyway, during their time inside Matty is the main focus and Jake remains a throwaway character as the only thing he talks about is going to the bathroom. But Matty's time in jail is well spent upon talking with Jordan, a man who originally comes off as some type of gang banger, but this is a trick. We learn that in fact he is a lawyer dealing with being caught with a white collar crime.
Now, as for what Jordan says which matters, it is putting Matty's life in perspective. Yes, it is quite a big deal to find out you were adopted, but look who you were adopted by. They give you an Escalade, give you opportunity, support you, even if in an aggressive way, and yet you whining on a prison cot. This all makes Matty realize how foolish he maybe. For while this is a major secret, considering all they provided for him, maybe he is overreacting?
Well, unless it comes to Eva. Upon getting out, thanks to Sadie's legal advice, they find Eva waiting for them. In this moment, Jake is understandably upset but Matty wants to give Eva a chance. She talks about how one more time of getting in trouble could mean her dad cutting her off, hence why she didn't join them. Which, for Matty, seems fine. But rather than leave it at that she goes on how she went to Jenna's for advice and how Jenna told her to go ask Matty's drug addicted brother, which she didn't say. Jenna did tell Eva to call Matty's brother, but not all that extra stuff. So even though Eva is supposedly chicks before dicks, it seems if the dick is a high valued target she'll make an exception.
Topic 3: Insecurity - Jenna
But don't worry about Jenna because she seems to be in the process of wiping her hands clean of Matty's drama, which would include Eva. If just because she realizes she strongly needs to focus on her current relationship with Luke. For after the situation of finding Shane on top of Luke, Jenna starts to get insecure when Luke wants to more focus on his studies than her. However, unlike many of her past relationships, rather than a fight happening and all that, they talk things out. Luke is on scholarship so his studies are very important if he wants to stay in school, and when it comes to Jenna he wants to have as much time with her as possible, but he also has to put in the work for school as well. Something which Jenna understands.
Leaving us with the only thing to look forward to in future episodes being Sadie taking out Eva. For between the blackmail, ruining her relationship with Austin, and now getting Matty put in jail, hell will have no fury like Sadie with a clearly defined reason to hate your guts. I must admit though, I am also interested to see if Shane sticks around and Tamara maybe dates her.
