Rita Desjardin

Don't blame you.

Yeah, so she's, she's, uh, Miss Rita Desjardins.

And then you got-

Oh

Yeah

...

but yeah, the, uh, uh, the gym teacher, Rita, tells Sue to look out for her, uh, because she's, you know, new to everything.

And of course Chris, uh, Chris Hargensen, uh, her parents are going through a messy divorce, and her dad's about to lose a ton of money, and her mom cheated on her dad.

Yeah Crazy.

Uh, how did you like the portrayal of the gym teacher, Ms. Desjardin?

Ms. Desjardin.

I think it's really interesting-

Yeah

Which is frightful and sensitive.

But the, the gym teacher, Ms. Collins comes in and she's like trying to calm, carry down.

And she does it in the way that everybody has done it in the seventies by giving her a hard fucking slap across the face just to get you back to reality.

And she, you know, she calms, carry down, like tells everybody away.

And really her only sin is just being born a woman.

So I mean, I guess that's reason for needing to pray for forgiveness.

But unlike some other high school movies where the bully kind of gets a little bit of free reign and just kind of keep going on with the tormenting, Miss Collins decides she's going to impose her will and have all the girls in gym class stay like for detention, like an extra hour.

And they're going to be forced to all sorts of nonsensical exercises.

He's dead.

It's like you have a little bit of hope because Ms. Desjardin, who in the first one is actually Ms. Collins, I don't know why the change.

Yeah.

What, uh, w- do you remember what her name was in the actual book?

I don't know either

...

I'm leaning towards Desjardin because that's her name in literally everything else.

Right.

[laughs]

All right, so, uh, after this happens, uh, you know, Miss Collins has to step in and help her.

She ends up slapping the shit out of her and kind of bringing her back to reality and all that.

Like-

But, uh-

This damn teacher, bro

Miss Collins?

Bro, she was slapping everybody.

And Emeline character will play a bigger role kind of as the series goes on.

We have Amber, uh, Midthunder playing Miss Desjardins, and we have Matthew Lillard, the one and only, uh, Scream alum, Stu Macher, um, playing Principal Grail.

I will just say this before we kind of move on into kind of more of the main topics I want to cover on this, uh, spoiler-filled review.

Matthew Lillard, man, we really, you know, I know there's horror fans out there and those that love the Scream franchise and just things that Matthew Lillard does, you know, Five Night- Five Nights at Freddy's.

So this is pretty special, and rather than the old cliche of waiting for after-prom night, Sue tells him, "Hey, this house party that's gonna go down will have doors with locks on them, and we're away from the parentals, so let's do this.

I'm telling you, Tommy, I want this." And buddies, it's kind of nice for a girl to, quote, "set the tone," and isn't that what Miss Desjardin told Sue in episode two? So I think Sue is taking that advice in more than one way, and I like this a lot, guys.

She's confident.

It's sweet.
