Meanwhile, Danielle is hard at work at a bookstore, cleverly named "Great Books." It's run by a kindly old lady, of course. Danielle shelves some books and pauses to look at an illustrated copy of The Kama Sutra. I think I remember this scene from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Subassdunne interrupts her perusal of the naughty pictures and invites her out for coffee. The Tribunal views slides of various new students and votes on who should be tortured. Actually, now that I think about it, this might be what really happens in most schools. Except for the slides. They took the time to develop slides? The guy with 70s hair, who I'm going to call Chad from now on, because he just looks like a Chad, reads biographical notes about the kids in question. One boy is given a probationary period because his dad owns the Coliseum, and Kathryn wants tickets to a Hole concert. Is she gonna take her chauffeured limo to the Hole concert? That's an episode I'd like to see. Subassdunne's picture pops up, but Chad doesn't have any information on him. Another Machiavellette asks what Kathryn knows about her step-brother, but Kathryn just says that Subassdunne is a loser, and orders Chad to find out more about him. Kathryn lives with him. You'd think she'd be in the best position to investigate. No one points this out. Next, a picture of the blonde klutz, who is now identified as Cherie. Pronounced "Cherry." So. Very. Subtle. Hey, here name is sort of similar to "Cecile." Do you think that's significant? Cherie's family is richer than the Merteuils are. Or the Valmonts. However they refer to themselves. Point is, Cherie has more money than Kathryn. Why does this matter? Dunno, but apparently it sticks in Kathryn's craw. Chad reports that Cherie is a virgin and has never kissed a boy. Chad is quite a detective. Kathryn declares the Cherie is "a walking Teletubby, just begging to be made an example of." "A walking Teletubby"? First, I'm not sure what that is meant to imply -- she has a television set in her stomach? But skipping that -- don't the actual Teletubbies walk? So...huh? Kathryn swears that she'll turn Cherie into a slut. It's unclear how this constitutes revenge in any way, even if I understood what she was trying to get revenge for. But the Machiavellettes applaud anyway. I can see why they'd suck up to Kathryn, because if they piss her off, she might devote all of her energy to getting them laid. Then there's some business about how the chef won't make sushi for them. Uh oh, guess they'd better trick someone into having sex with the chef. That'll learn him.
