Nina Lisandrello: Tess Vargas

Quotes 

• Tess Vargas : I can't believe you went back to Lizzy D's.

  J.T. Forbes : I told you, I'm edgy.

  Tess Vargas : J.T., I don't need you to be edgy, okay? I was into "edgy" when I was 22.

  J.T. Forbes : But what you said in the... in the store.

  Tess Vargas : Oh. I was overcompensating. To be honest, like, this stuff makes me nervous, too, and I didn't fully realize it 'till Franz, that stripper guy who showed up, and I could barely look at him.

  J.T. Forbes : You weren't into Franz, either?

  Tess Vargas : No! I was hiding in Cat's hall the entire show. I was almost relieved when Heather had the breakdown, so, you know, I had an excuse.

  J.T. Forbes : So... we're not sexually mismatched?

  Tess Vargas : Not that I'm aware of. Do you think we are?

  J.T. Forbes : No. I'm good.

• Catherine Chandler : What are you talking about?

  Tess Vargas : Your old BFF is writing a news story about your super-charged DNA.

  J.T. Forbes : She stalked us to Lizzy D's Closet.

  Vincent Keller : Who's Lizzy D?

  J.T. Forbes : It's an adult store. We were shopping.

  Tess Vargas : We were buying Heather's party favors.

  Vincent Keller : Can we please get back to the part about someone is writing a story about my super-charged DNA?

• Tess Vargas : It just seems that Gabe told Beth about everything.

  Vincent Keller : Unbelievable.

  Catherine Chandler : Actually, it's not. He's lost all political power, so he's chosen the nuclear one: exposure.

  Vincent Keller : Okay, so once again he ruins our only option. If this Beth girl writes this story, the Attorney General is gonna have a hard time letting me out. So I'm stuck in a cell while this news is out there.

  Catherine Chandler : No, we have another option.

  Vincent Keller : What? Kill Gabe?

  Catherine Chandler : No, talk to him. Convince him to call Beth off.

  Tess Vargas : Okay, that might work on a rational human being, but he's come unhinged.

  J.T. Forbes : "Unhinged" is an understatement. Try "murderer", "kidnapper".

  Catherine Chandler : Yeah, but in his mind, he's been doing all this to protect me from you, right? So I can go over there, tell him he doesn't have to anymore, that he can call Beth off because you're going to prison.
