- So what were the chances that her head was just very close to that sprinkler rather than directly over it? I know theyâre probably spread out pretty far from each other, but she was still pretty close to it in order for the water AND the sound to scare her awake.
- Okay, how old is this girl? 14?
- When is this show set? The fashion was okay, but that hair⌠Do people still wear denim jackets?
- Vodka in a water bottle. Busted! And she gets a Breathalyzer test! Ha!
- Shouldnât that principal wipe down that Breathalyzer after use? I suppose she couldâve done it before the girl blew into it, but after she used it, she just placed it back inside her drawer. I mean, where are her germs supposed to go? Thatâs pretty unsanitary behavior for a– .12 BAC?!
- NOW I KNOW WHERE THAT PRINCIPALâS FROM!! Sheâs the bitch who broke up Owen and Cristinaâs marriage on âGreyâs Anatomyâ. I think.
- âHeadmasterâ? Youâre not the principal?
- The main characterâs name is Maddie. Was this mentioned before? I didnât catch it then.
- Just before she leaves her mom behind, dramatic âAre you really going to make me do this???â staring. Conversation happens through eye contact.
- While she was detoxing, a montage is used to show us what she does in order to wait out her withdrawal symptoms. (Although she was only drunk, right? Hydration and rest cure the hangovers.) Toward the end of it, she uses her finger to tap on the center of her Jello and all I can think is, âPenetration.â
- Are those five stages of teenage grief happening in one road trip? AndâŚwhy did the letters âacceptanceâ just fly out the window as she rolled it open? Was that supposed to be cute? Dramatic? Artistic?
- The counselor looks like a British Drake Bell.
- Maddie reminds me of a young Sara Ramirez (Callie on âGreyâs Anatomyâ). Even weirder is her mom reminds me of Kerry Washington, who plays the lead role in âScandalâ. #Shondaland
- Okay, apparently, this is set in the 21st Century, judging by the way that Maddie is so addicted to her cell phone. If thatâs the case, who was in charge of costumes for this thing?
- âBased on the novel by Blake Nelsonâ. Isnât that the actor from âHolesâ? (Wikipedias âHolesâ) Nope, thatâs TIM Blake Nelson.
- DAMIAN, IS THAT YOU????? LAST TIME I SAW YOU, I WAS PLAYING âMEAN GIRLS: SENIOR YEARâ ON âEPISODESâ!!! I wasnât going to be committed to this show, but now that youâre onâI MISSED YOU!!!
- Who the hell hides something in a piano? IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT!! If you want to hide something, find another place for it!
- Vern: You know the difference between right and wrong, right? Maddie: If I did, would I be here? Me: Point taken.
- Rebecca: Maddie Graham. Maddie: Rebecca Granger. (Somewhere Far, Far Away, a voice cries, âDONKEY!â)
- Rebecca: I suppose it was only a matter of time. Trish: Wait, so you two know each other? Me: No, theyâre just saying that to mess with you. All that tension is so fake. You fell for it, right?
- So the mystery of what happened between these two will either be revealed later this episode or itâll last half a season.
- Could Trish be that clueless? I mean, is anybody THAT clueless? There was so much tension you couldnât melt it with Elsaâs love. #Frozen
- Rebecca: I guess what I regret the most is how my ugly past keeps coming back to haunt me. (Glares at Maddie.) Me: Girl, did she just call you ugly?
- The guy with the relapse dreamsâŚMaddie wants him. If something happens between her and someone in that house, itâs him.
- Counselor: At group, we introduce ourselves by saying, âHi, Iâm whomever and Iâm an alcoholic.â Me: Donât tell me sheâs going to call herself âwhomevââ Yep, I totally called that. Counselor: Very good, very good. I havenât heard that one before. Me: Seriously? Heâs only saying that to patronize her, right?
- âSpringtime Meadowsâ âŚsoâŚhippie-like. A coolâŚbreezy name.
- The parting gift was a nice touch. It shows that they became a family there and hopefully shows that the group will show the same for Maddie. Except for Rebecca, of course.
- Relapse Dream (locks eyes with her before he leaves the room): Welcome to the fun house. (She awkwardly looks away.) Me: See? Anyone wanna place bets on when theyâre gonna kiss? My guess is her feelings are gonna build up first. Then, in the middle of the season, so will his. Then, they go through a dramatic âOMG, you love me too?â episode and then theyâll kiss in the season finale.
- Itâs the middle of the night and thereâs a light in the hallway thatâs very clearly on, but you wouldnât think so by the way the hallway is still dark. In fact, it merely serves as a nightlight.
- Okay, so she sees a random guy sitting there, doesnât freak out, and is, instead, comforted by his presence. We find out heâs her dad, but, seeing as how it was clarified that he had died, in the previous scene, she still doesnât find it odd that she sees him? Let alone, is having an actual conversation with the guy?
- Oh, got it. Dream.
- I feel like the horn on the unicorn is a safety hazard. All I can think about is jabbing someone in the eye with it. By accident.
- PUNCH BUGGY, NO PUNCH BACK!!!
- Maddie: Did you ever consider that the reason why I was drinking in school was because itâs so insufferably boring? Me: Can I punch this girl?
- Okay, so she DID do something that merited the withdrawal symptoms. But drinking half a water bottle full of vodka wouldnât require a 24-hour detox period, would it? The principal lady couldnât have known the drugs. She only found the alcohol.
- She randomly sings âJesus is my saviorâ when the song was nowhere near that point on the radio. I donât get why scripted shows sometimes do that. If Iâm singing along with the radio, Iâm gonna sing it where itâs playing from the speakers.
- She was NOT the principal. She was the guidance counselor. Duly noted.
- Those license plates. â2FAN321â?
- Do they really think that âFind My Deviceâ is gonna work? Would it work if the laptop is closed? And the sound waves are probably barricaded by, not only the windows, but the distanceâshe has no idea where her freaking car is so how are they going to trace the sound?
- That girlâs a bad influence on you, Relapse Dreamer.
- He looks a bit like Nick from âNew Girlâ. Sounds like him, too.
- If they jump to the future and it turns out they still hang out, their adult versions should be played by Jake Johnson and Sara Ramirez. Just a random thought.
- She actually bought a new bottle of vodka to share with a roommate from her rehab household? And I thought Trish was the idiot. No, Maddieâs not an idiot. Sheâs an addict. The compulsion to buy alcohol was too strong. Then⌠âHossâ? Thereâs no Hoss on IMDb. Looked up the actor on Google Images. The characterâs name is Wes. Then Wes was there to stop her from feeding her own addiction.
- Maddie: Why do you care? You donât know me. Vern: One day, youâre going to have a moment like this with someone else, sharing your experience. Thatâs how it works. And it does work. Me: AwwâŚDamian. Please donât somehow fall off the wagon and die.
- Counselor Craig and Wes are now alone in his office and staring intently at each other. Me: NowâŚKISS!!!
- Craig: I can tell you like her, Wes. Me: Well, THAT came sooner than expected.
- Craig: You and Maddie canât happen. Itâll steer you away from the program. Possibly Maddie, too. Me: Great. Now, youâre gonna want each other more. If they canât feed their addictions, theyâll probably grow addicted to each other! Thatâs where their relationship is headed, isnât it?
- Okay, so the Mom used âFind My Deviceâ? Iâm still not understanding how she managed to hear the sound, even if the feature works with a sleeping laptop. It was in her backpack, which was in her car. However, she found the car couldnât have involved âFind My Deviceâ. In fact, the only way should couldâve found the car, and therefore the backpack, is if sheâd driven around to find it.
- Maddieâs reading Moby Dick. All I can think about is this scene in âCarrie the Musicalâ, which I was in. Teacher: Class, brush up on your Moby Dick! We might have a pop quiz on Thursday. Classmate 1: Hehehe. DICK! Classmate 2: Iâll brush up on YOUR Moby Dick! (I hope they donât mind I stole those jokes and posted them on here! Haha!)
- A condom was found in the front seat of Maddieâs car even though she said that she was still a virgin by choice. Wait, soâŚZack was having sex with another girlâŚin his girlfriendâs car? Is that the story theyâre implying here? All guys canât be assholes like that. Whenever theyâre in a relationship with someone who doesnât want to have sex, they have to fulfill their sexual needs somewhere else?! âHi, my name is Zack and Iâm addicted to sex!â
- Even worse: by the sound of Maddie crying in the next scene, they seemed pretty close even though she didnât even kiss him hello or goodbye during his one scene.
- Maddie was holding onto the unicorn and had her forehead pressed up against it. Seriously. Thatâs a hazard. Someone could lose an eye if theyâre not paying attention.
- Oh! The condom couldâve been another guyâs and sheâs worried that he used it on her. Zack was watching his brother that night. Okay. Sorry for calling you an asshole and a sex addict, Zack! UmâŚstay in school.
- They discuss the possibility that she was raped, especially since she was too wasted to remember. It took âSwitched at Birthâ three-and-a-half years to talk about that fine line that is consent. They made a big deal about it because itâs still such a big issue, but this brand-new show is still only developing. I feel like itâs too soon to bring it up if it turns out itâs not a part of this characterâs story.
- OhâŚmy GodâŚthatâs why the guidance counselor is so invested in getting Maddie better⌠Okay, Iâm starting to like this woman. But only in this show. I canât forgive her for what she did on âGreyâs Anatomyâ. We donât even know her name in that show. I just know her as âBitch-Who-Ruined-Cristowenâs-Marriageâ. (Did they ever have a coupleâs name? Or did people think that Yang wouldâve hated the idea?)
- âNice to meet you, tooâŚCYNTHIAâŚâ
- How does this teenager know about âbelieve you meâ? I still donât get how itâs grammatically correct, but itâs not a phrase often used nowadays. Shouldnât she say âbelieve meâ or âtrust meâ? I know we donât know her very well right now, but I feel as if that term, in general, just doesnât exist nowadays. I donât know. Itâs not my story.
- Ooh, Cynthia digs out her phone right after talking to Maddie in order to talk to a secret someone whoâs probably just using her to get to Maddie???
- Just Maddieâs mom.
- Mom: How could I not have known? Me: Does every mother say this whenever they catch their child doing something troubling? Sheâs saying it, my own mother said it, I think the mom from âCyberbullyâ said it, too. It seems to be a very common parental expression in situations like this.
- AwwâŚMaddie was a daddyâs girl.
- How did the mother know to check Maddieâs locker? Maternal instinct? Or was all that drug paraphernalia found before she got busted and she was just never home to see it?
- Heâs gone for, what, a couple days, and heâs already fallen off the wagon? So Iâm guessing that means heâs staying on the show.
- Doug: You guys think youâre all soâŚfricking great. Me: Letâs face it. He wouldâve said the other word, but this is ABC Family (soon-to-be Freeform, for some reason).
- Wait, what was Cynthia doing with the roommate who stabbed her husband? Oh, never mind. Just another roommate who looks like her. I thought they were former AA buddies or something and they were catching up. Or doing other stuff. đ
- Never mindâŚDoug is probably going to be in jail. I doubt heâd live there again since it worked so well the first time.
- Yay! Sheâs journaling! I love keeping journals!
- AwwâŚshe already has a family under that roof. Sheâs got a bike and Damian is gonna teach you how to ride the damn thing! Theyâre ALL teaching her! Even Craig! Why am I so excited about that?
- So Iâm getting the feeling that this Maddie is supposed to be like Callie from âThe Fostersâ: not necessarily a goody-two-shoes, but not completely bad either. She only wants to survive. This show will probably delve deep into the addictâs life and figure out how this character can stay sober through the people she lives with.
