Here we get to meet Iseman’s other character, Lennon’s twin sister Allison. Instead, we flashback to the summer in question, specifically a party with major Euphoria vibes. I Know What You Did Last Summer Season 1, Episode 1 recap: Who died last summer? They also leave behind something bloody, but we don’t find out what just yet. Inside her old bedroom, Lennon opens her closet door and finds that someone has scrawled the words “I know what you did last summer” on her mirror in lipstick. If you know the I Know What You Did Last Summer story, you know that driving is always something to fear. Within minutes of returning, she almost hits a dog in the middle of the road after receiving a cryptic text message with a clown emoji and “I C U.” Nothing about Lennon’s return to Wai Huna appears happy to be home. She’s practiced in the art of deception, covering up the scent of menthol cigarettes with spritzes of body spray before greeting her dad, Bruce (Bill Heck). Lennon has just returned home for the first time in over a year after going to college at the University of Michigan.
THE GIRL WHO SEES SCENTS LAST EPISODE RECAP SERIES
But Amazon Prime’s teen horror series I Know What You Did Last Summer begins in the present, introducing us to one of Madison Iseman‘s two characters, Lennon Grant. This modernized take on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel occurs in a fictional Hawaiian town where a group of teenagers commits an unforgivable crime the night of their graduation party. We’ll have to wait for the finale to know the fate of Fez, as well as the ending to the play, which seems destined to be disrupted by Cassie, who is ready to erupt in an explosion of fermented hormones and hot tears - which is pretty much what she’s done this entire season.By Mads Lennon 10 months ago Follow Tweet Of course, Fex doesn’t get to see the play his side-story with Faye and Ash provides the tension in this episode, as the ever-suspicious Ash seems to smell trouble, while Faye appears morally conflicted. Sure, fiction can shine a light on reality, give a little context to chaos, but Lexi is just plucking immensely personal stories and airing them out to the public, with no effort to conceal their origin at all. As Fez in his infinite wisdom observes, the level of “inspiration” a writer can mine from their personal life really depends on the play. Lexi’s hand-wringing over the morality of her play rings pretty hollow, as she is seemingly seeking validation from Fez rather than seriously questioning her actions. Maybe Cassie wasn’t always the best sister, but did she really deserve this? Against Nate, the play feels like a victory in the eyes of Cassie, it’s a devastating humiliation. While Euphoria often leaves a lot of room for ambiguity (not a bad thing!), I’m curious as to what series creator Sam Levinson really thinks about Lexi’s gossipy play, and how he wants the audience to feel about it. Indeed, Nate gets so unsettled by his portrayal that he storms out and blames Cassie, telling her to move her stuff out of his room - did Lexi just magically resolve Cassie’s toxic relationship? Or did she magnify the problem by shining a spotlight on it? Keeping up the appearance of being aggressively straight seems to be the way Nate maintains control over his life (just like his daddy), and Lexi shatters that image, humiliating him in a way no other character has really managed to do. Did it really happen, or did Lexi put the words in Cassie’s mouth? It’s unsettlingly accurate, either way.Īmusingly, Lexi put a tremendous amount of effort into a homoerotic musical number created with the sole intention of humiliating Nate - and it works.

It proves to be a hell of a show, a high school play with a Broadway budget, highlighting Cassie’s daddy issues, the speech outlining her intense dedication to Nate being the stuff that misogynists dream of. The moment where the cast and characters are revealed to be near-identical matches for their “inspirations” is hilarious, as the girls realize their dirty laundry is about to be aired in front of the whole school of course, Cassie has more reason to fear than most.
