Leightons obsessed with a girl who humiliates her and flirts by trading insults.

Whitney is attracted to her biochemistry classmate Andrew after he absolutely negs her (again).

Only Kimberly seems to prefer niceness, but her crush istoonice to her this week.

She could use a little bit of mean.

Kimberly is worried that shes been med-zoned by Jackson.

Hes constantly checking in.

He keeps asking if shes feeling better.

He talks about how gray her face was when she slept in his dorm.

Heswaytoo familiar about the pads that she left in the bathroom.

The post-operative cool girl then spends her time this week helping Lila get promoted to manager at Sips.

Where was that energy when Kimberly was trying to get a better job?

Maybe Kimberly should work in the financial-aid department.

I bet there are office jobs for students there, and shes really good at identifying skills and mentoring.

She approaches him, assures him that shes not fragile and up for anything, and bam!

Next thing you know, theyre banging.

Willow facilitates an introduction and Leighton invites her to a comedy show on campus.

Tatum continues to be rude to her.

But later, at a party, Leighton gains the upper hand.

The two of them trade insults about shows, area codes, and other rich-people things.

I guess theyre allowed to neg each other.

This brings us to Whitney and Andrew.

Whitney and Bela have been assigned as partners with Andrew for a lab assignment about yeast.

Since Belas cutting to work on the aforementioned comedy show, its just the two of them.

Andrew, who is extremely annoying, doesnt want their help.

He says that Whitney can pick out cute clip art for the cover page if she wants so rude.

Whitney then spills her coffee on the lab, making his worst fears come true.

AndthenWhitney notices his arms … and Andrew notices Whitney noticing his arms.

Suddenly, Im onboard with this relationship whose foundation was in negging and mansplaining.

Its just college, right?

She caters to his every zit, allergy, and temperature need.

He encourages her to send her resume.

He name-dropsthe Catullan, which supplies a lot of writers for his staff.

Dan encourages both of them to work on writers submission packets for the show.

Thats a big step up from submitting your resume for an unpaid internship.

At first, I was on Belas side.

Bela loses her mind and pulls an all-nighter to write enough material for this thing.

The urgency was not there before Eric totally eclipsed her in Dans eyes.

Thats whats so frustrating.

She was good to go, and Eric made it harder for her.

Leighton assures Bela that shes funny enough and just needs to confirm that Dan remembers her.

Leighton, unfortunately, forgot who she was talking to.

We talked about this in season one when you gave hand jobs to half of the Catullanstaff.

You gotta stop doing stuff like this.

Are teens doing this?

Have we learned nothing from Me Too and, like,Legally Blonde?

Dont hook up with people to get jobs!

Its a real bummer of a note to end this episode on.

I havent been this mad at a fictional college girls decision since Rory stole a boat inGilmore Girls.

I want to root for Bela, but she makes it so hard sometimes.

Thats good to hear!

Eric also, not to keep harping on this, totally negs Dan!

This show has a problem.

Why are college students sending in writers packets in the first place?

I thought this was about an internship, not a staff position.

Erics … not a senior, I dont think.

I really am just that good at ship spotting.

Have you noticed that just about every story line on this show is resolved later, at a party?

If only adult life were that simple.
