Booyah and zetus lapetus, my homeys!
I am so goddamn excited to become completely obsessed withCruel Summeronce again.
I, too, was surprised it wasnt Stanford.)
I will just come out and spoil the surprise ending for you here.
I mean, the show doesnt care about chronological order, so why should I?
I love this development.
Kill more rich white teen boys, television.
But Im getting ahead of myself.
Lets go back to the beginning with Megan 1.
If Megan has a rebellious streak at all, it is her bad attitude about Isabellas impending arrival.
(It seems suspicious, but were rolling with it for now.)
Isabella is everything that Megan is not.
but isnt about to go out of her way to make her feel especially welcome.
Megan, lying, says its fine.
A lot has changed by the winter of 99.
Isabella, meanwhile, is passing around shots and contemplating a hookup with the hot but dumb French bartender.
Until, of course, the following summer, when Lukes body is fished out of the bay.
A friend approaches and muses, None of this would have happened if she never came to town.
Megan responds, I think about that all the time.
When Lukes body is retrieved and identified in the episodes final moments, Isabella appears at Megans side.
We have to get our stories straight, she says.
I am pretty positive that the kid with the video camera is going to come up again.
