I know we were all waiting for Lexi's play to dish everything out in front of the whole school, but I don't think any of us expected the absolute thrill ride that was this episode.
Not only was the show interlaced with extremely real moments, the show itself has some really vindicating moments for some long-standing arcs. Frankly, I loved the humiliation that Nate suffered, but Cassie's look at the end was just *jawdropping*. She looked nearly psychotic. (But of course they both deserve it)
I was at first uncomfortable with Lexi airing out her friends lives for fear that she would say too much, but she was surprisingly tasteful. Rue's life was highlighted with positive moments and the main cast of girls are shown as heroes and friends. Although I still think she should've told them before making it so on-the-nose, but at the very least she only dished it out to those who deserved it.
I have to give a special shout-out to Alexa Demie for this episode. I'm glad they saved the aftermath of the reveal for now, as it was much more emotionally punchy during this moment. Her breaking down and asking when it will end was absolutely gut wrenching, and Alexa absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Fez's storyline is probably about 5 minutes of this episode total, but provides a really tense undercurrent for the whole episode. I'm so nervous for the situation in that house and how it's about to explode. Great tension that has been built all season.
Honestly, some people say season 2 is worse than 1, but I disagree. It's better on every level. It's upped the ante in more ways than one. Thanks Sam!
