Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 29 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT The Ordeal Of Cold Water
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 9 | Aired on 08.06.2013
Emily: "If a guy on this show did all this crap without asking it would be kind of offensive."Paige: "I am growing more and more sure that you are not coming to Stanford, and growing more desperate to make that happen, because I love you and long distance doesn't work."
Emily: "Ah, so it's not about controlling me, it's about you holding onto your girlfriend. That is oddly a lot sweeter than if you were doing it for my benefit."
Damned if I can figure out how, but it really is. In that context, a lot of this early stuff is a lot easier to take. Sometimes when Paige redecorates your house like a fishbowl it's like, Paige calm down. But this whole "I have removed every obstacle between us, which only coincidentally means constructing your life around you" thing is pretty romantic, somehow.
So, the new plan then: Screw all these crummy state schools and just take a year off. Train up, get back on target, grab next year's scholarship, and it's just puffy drapes from there on out.
THE BREW
Ezra and Maggie are having a convo in that little niche where the girls like to sit, so he can see Jake and Aria when they come in, and the most beautiful thing is that Aria never even sees him. (I have words on the subject of situational awareness here, Aria -- you gotta know your milieu, scan the room, scan the ceiling for God's sake, there could be a burlap babyface up there waiting to fall on you -- but considering her superspy act at the birthday party later I would call this a minor infraction.)
It's mostly beautiful because her obliviousness makes it like Ezra's this old man babydaddy in the corner "watching Aria blossom into normal relationships with boys and regretting it but also realizing he has to let her go kind of thing" like pedos do in movies. Also because he hates Maggie for even existing right now, and talking, while he's trying his hardest to be a total poem in this coffee shop.
Jake: "Are you gonna call my hot ass to come babysit you again tonight? Which would be fine."
Aria: "No, dad's coming home and we're having family movie night. What a weird lie to just randomly say."
Maggie: "So I got into grad school..."
Ezra: "Awesome."
Maggie: "Yeah it's better than some schools but not as good as other schools."
Ezra: "That's so great."
