Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Vile Things

Kathryn and Cherie go clubbing. After some more T&A shots, we pan over to the girls, who are chatting. Cherie starts a second drink, and mentions that it "doesn't taste like iced tea." Kathryn explains that it's from Long Island. Hey! I suspect that it isn't iced tea at all, and Kathryn is deliberately getting Cherie drunk! Gosh, Kathryn is every bit as devious as the average frat boy. Wait for her next evil plot, which involves pretending that a car has run out of gas. Kathryn turns and gives the eye to a guy on the dance floor, and he immediately abandons his dance partner and hurries over. The guy is introduced to Cherie as "Court." In the first movie, Court is the guy who had rejected Kathryn for Cecile, which set the whole plot in motion. So is this before Kathryn liked him? It's kind of like continuity, except that it actually makes things more confusing. Cherie burps in Court's face. Kathryn suggests visiting the bathroom. Cherie says she doesn't have to go, whereupon Kathryn says, "I do," and pinches Cherie on the arm. Then Kathryn asks, "Want some more?" Cherie doesn't, so away they go to the bathroom. To review: Kathryn is devious and subtle; she overwhelms her victims by getting them drunk and pinching them into obedience. In the bathroom, Kathryn's all best friends again, and claims that Court likes Cherie. Cherie asks for advice, and Kathryn says, "You're gonna have to let him fuck you." I'm sorry to keep complaining about this, but -- that's the whole plan for turning Cherie into a slut? Suggesting it? Cherie isn't opposed to the idea, but she is nervous since she's never even "been to first base." Has anyone born after 1960 actually used the baseball metaphor? Kathryn offers to help Cherie round the bases, if you know what I mean. They reappear back on the dance floor...or, actually, a little to the left of the actual dance floor, but within spitting distance of it. I strive for accuracy. Once again, let us recall that in the first movie, Kathryn gave Cecile firsthand instruction in how to kiss. Here's the parallel scene in this movie. This time, to teach Cherie how to kiss, Kathryn instructs her...by supervising as Court kisses Cherie. What a let-down. The first kiss goes well, so Kathryn starts talking about tongues, and then Cherie leans in close and pukes on Court's shoes. Court stomps off. Maybe this is why he lost interest in Kathryn. Cherie sobs on Kathryn's shoulder, and Kathryn offers an insincere "There, there." That is such an odd thing to say when you're consoling someone, isn't it? "There, there." What the hell is it supposed to mean? Maybe it's to confuse the person and distract them from whatever's upset them.
