Welcome back to another week of 'Tis the Season. This week, we are of course discussing the fifth episode of Young Royals. 

Listen as we dive into more tender moments between Simon and Wilhelm, the consequences of the party, and the blooming friendship between Felice and Sara. It always seems like there is one problem after another, and there are only more to come when August decides to do something reckless (per usual).

So try and relax as we talk about the good, the bad, and the somewhat ugly situations these characters find themselves in.

SPEAKER_01

My name's Emma. I'm Meredith. And this is to season! Whoa, whoa. We kind of harmonized on that, actually. Why didn't we kind of like pop off? Either that eight or it sounded like shit. I don't know which. Well, I'm when I listen back to it, I I will determine if it sounds good or not. But it sounded like we kind of had like a harmony moment, you know? I love it. It was so good. Um, so welcome back, everyone. Um, we're a day late. Sorry about that. Yeah. We messed up our schedule. I messed up the schedule. It's actually a lot just happened last week, and yeah, next thing you know, it the days are just gone. You're also working quite a bit. Yeah. So it it's okay. Everything's chill. So we're getting the episode out today. Exactly. But that's all that's all we can do. So happy Friday. Yeah, happy Friday. I'm so glad it's Friday. Um, I'm like on a high this week, honestly, because I just got done with my one job that was stressing me out to the max. Um, oh my god. Kona just watched it in here with the toy. He's so fucking cute. I'm sorry. That was the clearest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, it's so he's laid it down and then it's like one of those lamb toys who just brought it in and now it's just sitting there and he just laid on the couch. That was so cute. I literally can't erase that from my head. That was so adorable. What the fuck? Okay. Anyway, so I I feel like a whole weight has lifted off my shoulders. And now I just teach private lessons. So and it's so fun. It's so easy. You're a whole new person now. I am. And I found out it was not incorrect technique with my voice last week. I'm a dumbass. And I was like, oh, well, my voice is starting to feel better if I if I do this. Yeah, because you're taking the medicine, you idiot. So then I stopped taking the medicine and then it came back, and I was like, oh my god, I'm so stupid. So now I'm back on my um acid reflux medicine, and my voice feels so good. I almost cried yesterday because I sung for about 45 minutes, because I haven't sung in two weeks. Because I was trying to rest it because it was swollen. But I was I made it to 45 minutes, no burning at all. And I felt so awesome. Everybody applaud. Literally applaud because this is I don't I don't even know. Like she was trying to give up coffee, and I said, girl, you're not gonna be able to do that. I still have to. Still? Mm-hmm. Can't you drink it a little bit? We'll sit. I could have I have I could have a little bit here and there, but I would have to take medicine before it. Like I'd have to drink. Yeah, but maybe maybe I'll do that. But I've been doing okay without caffeine. Um I've been getting headaches, but you know, what can you do? Nothing, really. Just gotta get off that. I know. Uh thing called uh caffeine. Exactly. I feel like I'm like completely sober now. I'm just like, damn, this is the real world, I guess. Real world is crazy. Because I haven't had alcohol in almost two months. Um I had I had one drink at this um bridal luncheon I went to. But I feel like it was like a tiny little thing of um champagne. A little sofuel. So if it's something like that, I'm allowing myself, but I refuse to go out just for the purpose of getting drinks. I refuse to have alcohol in my house. Um, it's been going pretty good. At first it was really hard, but here we are, almost two months in. Doing great. Exactly, exactly. Um, yeah, so that's going on. I just feel really good, and I still have some mucus in my throat from the acid reflux, so my voice still kind of sounds like me. But it feels good. It feels good. So everything's chill. Everything's chill. Okay, anyways, Emma, do you have any updates? No, my life is shit. No, let's not.

unknown

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_01

No, um, unlike Meredith, where has been really rough for me lately.

SPEAKER_00

It's been like all of April was a shit show. And it's fine, I can't get into it, obviously, but I work in the medical field. For those who work in the medical field, are a nurse, doctor, nurse practitioner, a tech, whatever you know you understand. Um it's been terrible. And I work on a trauma floor. Ooh. That'll get you. Woo wee!

SPEAKER_01

Woo weep! But, anyways, getting into Young Royals without further episode five. Episode five. I like how they just title it episode five. Yeah, that's why I title my page every single time. Same the next episode, episode five. So we left off on um Wilhelm and Simone in Wilhelm's room. Yes, and August taking a video.

SPEAKER_00

So we just know it's gonna be a crazy episode, which definitely was.

SPEAKER_01

Did not disappoint. It did not disappoint at all. But we start off with them in the room. Yeah. In Wilhelm's room.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, day after, you know? And Wilhelm's just looking at someone, like he's just looking at him, kind of like touching him, like very delicate.

SPEAKER_01

They're like kind of ghosting above his skin. Like they're he's like, Is this real? Is this real? I don't want to wake him up. Yeah, and then he comes around and kind of starts like touching his face a little bit, like with the backside of his hand. It's just all very it's all just very cute and very so tender. Yeah, he's just like, oh man, he's here, he's real. Um like this is this really happened. Like, I love it so much. Yes, like so, so much. It is so cute. I couldn't stop smiling when I was writing it down. I was like, oh my god. Yeah, and then um someone wakes up, yeah, and they just you know say their good mornings, hi's, whatever, and then someone was just like, Your breast stinks. He's like, You have horrible morning breath. So then they start like fighting, like play fighting. Yeah, because one of them just starts breathing in his face. He's like blowing his face, and I'm like, okay. Like, oh, I don't know if I would do that, but you know, it's each their own. If someone told me I had bad morning breath and like we had just started like dating, I'd be like, damn. They're like, let me like leave, I guess. I'd be like, damn, and I'd get up and brush my teeth and feel really ashamed. Yeah. I'd be embarrassed. I'd be like, oh! I'm uh I'm sorry. You'd be like, thanks, I guess. Thanks, I guess. But they start play fighting and then they start kissing again. And then all of a sudden we get a little knock-knock knock on the door. Yeah, from his who's his bodyguard security or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's like, Yeah, you only have five minutes left of breakfast. And so he's like, Well, okay. I guess I gotta go. So he he tells Simone, like, leave after we leave, and then it it should be fine, like, if you just leave after us. Just make sure, like, no one sees you. And the entire time Simon just sit in there still just like naked and stuff under the Yeah, and he's like, he's just all like rolling around. He's like, Oh my god, my bed! My bed. That's what he feels like. I fear. Like, not even I fear, like, I just think that's what he feels like. That's exactly what he felt like. I was just like, Oh yeah, oh he's so adorable. And Villum goes to breakfast, and we see him packing up some breakfast food for Simone.

SPEAKER_00

He makes a little sandwich.

SPEAKER_01

He does, because Simone's like, well, don't I get breakfast? He's like, I'm hungry. He's like, I'm hungry. And Wilhelm's like, nah, bro, you don't get anything. He's like, he's like, nah, you should have brought your own sandwich. And then he's like, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. So he makes this little breakfast sandwich for him, and he's gonna go, yeah, he's gonna go give it to him. And of course, August is there, ruins he ruins the moment over every fucking thing. I mean, count. He's always there. Always. He's there and for what? I'm like, what are you doing here? Literally go away. Like, he has no sole purpose in my head. I literally wrote down that he always just he's ruining the moment. He is so truly, I I truly Ug. Ug Ug Ug. But I'm like, they're just trying to have a nice, calm, cool moment outside, doing this kind of cute flirty thing from a distance, and then he has to interrupt, and he just wants to give him a sandwich. Like, damn. Well, because Simone even motioned Villem over to down and he was gonna go. He was gonna go down and talk to him, and then August ruins it. Per usual. Like, I have nothing nice to say about him whatsoever. Like, he pisses me off every single fucking time. Every single time. Like, I I I I have no words.

SPEAKER_00

And then we get to the classroom and you can just see that Wilhelm just kind of keeps like looking behind everything.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but he like slides the sandwich to someone. Yeah, he like slides him real fast before he sits down. And then you can just see Sarah being like clocking it all over again. Like the wheels are turning in her head, and she's like, So you where were you? Yeah. I tried answering your phone. Or you're like, yeah, I tried calling you or texting you, and he's like, My phone died. And she was like, You didn't spend the night at home though. And he was like, Yeah. He's like, No, I didn't, you're right. And and then she sees them kind of looking at each other and like she just smells. And she's like, Yeah, I she's like the stupid hoe. Yeah, basically. Basically, she's like, Bro, this is not real. I also I just have to point out I was really confused. Like, remember uh Wilhelm used to sit next to him, but like in the desk nest and now he's up a seat, and I'm like, what's that about? I don't know, because in the class, like later, I don't know if it was that exact moment, but they were doing presentations. So I wonder if they just changed seats to sit next to their like presentation partner or something. I guess, maybe that was really weird to me. I was like, wait, why?

SPEAKER_00

Wait, I was like, he usually sits next to him.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I wonder if the teacher or something had the move seats for like the presentation. That would make sense, I guess. Because then they could work at the same table and do the work together.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And the girls were like, capital punishment for or against. We are for. And I was like, I was like, this this reminds me of the first episode when they were comparing, like, is murder worse than this and this and this? And we even talked about it, and it's like you can't really compare when things are so different. Like, situationally, like I like e even even then, like it's just they're just like, oh yeah, murder's worse than you know uh rape or worse than child whatever profiles.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and I'm like, you can't put them next to each other and they're not in the same category of I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Like they're both bad. They're both terrible. Like, I don't so you can't really like compare them. I don't think it's all I think it's just bad. That was just really funny. I was like, bro, what's it? So then this being like capital punishment for or against like, um Alright y'all. Like, they're just I feel like they're very out of touch with reality. Oh, they definitely are. Like they're just in their own world. They for sure are. And then the whole scene with Felice and the choir and the girls like pointing and stuff. I literally, mind you, I've watched it several times. I was like, I was like, why did it even have that scene? I don't know. I didn't I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know what was going on either. Like it was just like a simple like there was no context. No, and they were just trying to show they didn't say anything before, so I was like, what are they doing? So they were just showing their phone and it was just a picture of her. Yes, I was like, okay. And she was even like, What are you talking about? Like, yeah, because like from her point of view, it probably just was like one of her selfies she posted online or something. Yeah. And so she was just like, I'm like, as the watcher, I didn't even know what was going on. And then as Felice, I would also be like, What the fuck is that? I'd be like, What are you doing? And they were trying to motion her out of class, and she's like, nah, man, you know, I'm practicing.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so I it was just really weird.

SPEAKER_01

And then it was, and then it jumped over to the whole uh Alexander like suspension thing. My god.

SPEAKER_00

Which this whole thing pisses me off to a T. And when I tell you I'm pissed, I'm pissed off at everybody. Like every single party involved. Literally. I'm mad at August, I'm mad at Simon, I'm mad at Wilhelm, I'm mad at literally all the other guys a part of this entire group.

SPEAKER_01

No offense except for Alexander. Nope. No one is getting blamed. They literally treat him like a guinea pig. Yeah. Or like a little servant, because he's a first year. And I'm like, you guys are horrible. Like, like, you last time you wouldn't even let him participate in anything, and now he's in trouble because none of you let him back in. Mm-hmm. And he got caught with all the drugs that you guys wanted. Right. From Simone's dad. Uh-huh. Make it make sense. Right. You know, like I I it's just a whole fucking mess because why I I I don't have any words, honestly.

SPEAKER_00

That's all because there's just too much going on. But we'll we'll get into it a little bit more, but Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Then we get to the stables with Sarah's dad.

SPEAKER_00

She's uh he's texting her. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Like all of a sudden he's like really t he's like, she's like, I don't understand. I've told him I don't want him to talk to me. I don't get why he's talking to me all of a sudden. Right. And Felice is like, Well, you know, you don't ever want to see him again? And she's like, No, I don't. And Felice is like, well, you know, your your feelings matter more than what he's doing. Exactly. And I was like, oh my gosh, like your feelings matter first. And the fact that Sarah just said thank you, I feel like she doesn't get that from anybody else. I feel like she doesn't either. I feel like she really needed that. And especially coming from Felice, because going even going back to the first episode, their dynamic is completely different. Like they are the best friends. They are actual friends now. And so Felice having her back like that and supporting her, Sarah probably is like, wow, this is the first time I've kind of experienced that, especially at this school.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

With all these, you know, noble quote unquote people, rich people.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So for Felice to make her feel seen and heard is really important.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But I I'm really glad that she's supporting Sarah with that. But then she's like, oh, also, do you want to stay the weekend?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And Sarah's like, well, why? And Felice's like, well, that's what friends do.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I was like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

Like she's like, well, why would I ever do that? Why would I want to do that, you know? And the it's just the fact that she's never really had friends. I know.

SPEAKER_00

Up until this point, I feel like.

SPEAKER_01

I know.

SPEAKER_00

At least not good ones. Or just kind of good acquaintances, maybe.

SPEAKER_01

Probably. Yeah. But it it's just it's so it's just so best friend, best friend coded, and so it's like the definition of girlhood. I was thinking of girlhood. Like just supporting each other, and she's like, you know, it's just a it's just a sleepover. And just having a fun night. Yeah, and we'll see that towards yeah, the end of episode two. Oh my god. Like their friendship has completely blossomed. I love it. I thought you were gonna talk next. Oh, sorry. No. Oh my my bad, my bad. Yeah, sorry. We get to the lake though. We do someone. They're walking around the lake, and of course, stupid bodyguards have to be around. Bro, they're always there and they definitely know what's going on. They just they're just paid to be there. They don't give a fact that like they just start talking about the lake. And then he's like, Man, the lake's cold. And then he yells out to the guard, he's like, Man, the lake's really cold today. The water's very cold today. And I'm like, shut up. No, because he was like, What do you think they think that we're talking about? And someone's probably like, I don't know, probably that the lake is really cold. So he shouts that and they're like, Yeah. Wilhelm really confuses me as a character because I feel like he doesn't care. Yeah. All of a sudden, but all but like at the same time cares so much. Like he he like contradicts himself.

SPEAKER_00

He really does. And I think that's why he gets so angry and frustrated with himself. Because he doesn't I think it's like he doesn't want to care about things and doesn't care about things, but then has to care about things.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. At the same time, he's just like, Well, I have to care about it. Yeah, it's more of a have to, but it just confuses me as a character for him because I'm just like because most of the time he's just like, Oh, I don't care. Yeah, like he's already done so many things that his brother would have never done led him to be at the school in the first place. Exactly. And so we obviously know that he is doing whatever he wants, truly. But at the same time, he cares so much, yeah. Cause he knows now it all relies on him. So it's just he he really contradicts himself. It's very back and forth.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so like the whole just like yelling out to the guard thing, like but the leg thing or like it's just very much more him for sure, but it's just weird because then like you see later in the episode he's very different.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00

And not as fun and lighthearted.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But we go to Felice's room and Sarah's like checking out stuff in her room. Bro, I don't remember this at all. I looked at Meredith when we were watching this. I said, What? She's literally what walking into her room, going over to her window, and there's a picture. It's like it's a Polaroid. A Polaro- Yeah, where where is that from? I don't even know. I don't know, and it's like the derpiest fucking picture. Yes, and it's not like it's a group photo, it's not like it's a photo of both of them together for some reason. It's a selfie, like so this guy took a Polaroid camera, turned it around on himself, and took a selfie. And she has it, and I don't know from where. I don't know either. I I forgot that we that was even a thing. In my head, I'm like, is this like from the party or something? But then it would have been dark outside. I know everything, and it was like white and sunny and Yeah, it was like he was in his room and it was like daytime or something. And it's weird as hell. And I don't I don't know. I don't know either. It took me by surprise. I was like, wait, what the fuck? And then she picks it up and was just looking at it, and I'm like, Like, what? What?

SPEAKER_00

And watching that made me feel like I was in a felice situation because Felice was so all about like Wilhelm scrolling all the time, doing all that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Sarah having that picture there, I think she liked August. That's like I think she liked him. Felice? No, no, I think Sarah liked uh August.

SPEAKER_01

Mmm.

SPEAKER_00

That's why I said it was a Felice situation, because Felice is all about Wilhelm looking at pictures. Oh, that's what I'm saying. And then Sarah has this picture of August. I feel like she looks at it a lot clearly because it's right at her desk out the window.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well it's isn't it at Felice's desk? Was it Felice's desk? I thought Sarah's desk. Well, Sarah doesn't room there. It was in Felice's room. Damn, I'm so stupid. You're not stupid. That's I was so confused. I was like, what? Bro, I thought it was at her house. It was in Felice's dorm. Yeah. Because then right after that, they bring that bed in, the mattress for her to sleep on.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, okay, well, it's still weird.

SPEAKER_01

It is, because Felice doesn't really like him that much.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So you know what? It's fine. But they like bring in this makeshift bed for Sarah to sleep on. And they're like, oh, what are you wearing for dinner? And she finds out that they like dress up for dinner on Saturday nights. And she's like, Oh, I don't I don't have anything. So Felice's like, oh well, you can borrow something of mine. Yeah. She's like, you can just have it. Just wear it. And I was like, stop. And then she does her makeup. Give her her hair clips that we see her wear all the time. Yeah, like she does her hair, she does her makeup, and they're like just giggling, having fun. There's other girls in there. She's really good. I don't really see that. No, we don't. And we haven't really seen that up until this point. And again, I feel like she finally feels seen with these girls. Because again, I don't really think she's had really close friendships before. Like you mentioned that. So it was just really cute. It was so sentimental. And it reminded me of like getting ready for like prom or getting ready for homecoming with my friends. Yeah. Or just having sleepovers. I have not had a sleepover in so fucking long. We should have one. You literally live downstairs for me. Yeah. So we should have one. But it's like you have we have a sleepover like every night. I mean, yeah, but no, it's not the same. It's not the same. Are you saying you want to sleep in my bed? No. Do you want me in your bed? Yeah. No. Oh! Teresa don't listen to this. I don't know if Pum will allow that. No, he wouldn't. He would kick you out. Ugh. He would kick you out really fast. No, but like, you know, like, you know how like air mattresses, popcorn on the ground, just like watching movies on the floor. We would always I would always do like potions. I would make potions. From online, or I'd try and do like a spell on myself.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or one thing I used to do is I would my friends and I would like try and come up with a new perfume smell. And so we'd pour a bunch of stuff in a what? Are you serious right now? You've never done that? No. Oh, we'd pour a bunch of stuff in a bottle and you chose to like shake it up and then we'd smell each other's quote unquote perfume that we came up with. It was nasty. I was about to say, and I don't think that would be pretty. Because I was like, oh my gosh, what if we created one? It was so good and we got rich. It wasn't. Not if you're rich. No. We are not. Obviously. Oh my god. That's crazy. Anyways, it was super cute. So yeah. Then we go to Simone's house and Villam is there with his bodyguard. He's over for dinner. Yeah. And it's so cute. It is. And Simone's mom welcomes him in. She's like, it's so good that you're here. Like, you're always welcome here. I'm really glad. And Simone's just like, okay, we're gonna be in my room playing video games. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Video games.

SPEAKER_01

I'm sure you're gonna play a lot of video games, bro. My favorite moment in this entire room is when they're talking about the fish. Yes. Yes. So they go to Simone's room and Villa's just kind of looking around, like just taking out his little knickknacks and whatnot. And then he's like, Oh, you ha fish.

SPEAKER_00

And he's like, Yeah, they're all just kind of the same. They all look the same, but they have names, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And he starts listing them. I wrote them down.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you have them written down? Yeah, what are they? Ollie, Osu, and Philly. Yeah, I didn't get that. I was paying too much attention to Wilhelm coming up behind him and starting to like kiss his neck. I only wrote them because these are like really important. Oh for season two. Oh shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

This this whole thing is important for season two, the fish. Good, good moment. So keep that in mind.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I'll keep that in. I'll keep that in mind because I didn't even know that. Oh yeah. That's my bee. Anyway, that's what I'm here for. But um Phyllum is like behind him, hugging him and like being all cute. Yeah. Everything about it is just a cute little moment. And he's like kind of distracting small small. And he's like, uh that that fish is uh uh and uh and uh and uh I'm like bruh I'm like okay. So they they oh my god Oh girl, not the yawn. I didn't have coffee this morning, me either. Um but anyways, they're kissing and everything, and then some monster's like, nah, bruh. And then he turns on a video game, which honestly made me jump because it was so loud. It was so loud. I was like, oh my god. And Villan was like, why'd you turn that on? We're playing video games, obviously. Obviously, so he's like, I don't want them to hear. And Volum's like, does this turn you on or something? He's like, he's like, shh. They're so cute. I didn't know it does. They're so cute. It probably does turn them on, probably, but then we go back to Felice's place, and again, just girlhood, having fun, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, and Sarah's like, I need to tell you something, which is so proud of her for this. I know, because she's like, I need to tell you something about August because August texted Felice and was like, hey, come over. And she was like, Oh, I'll just tell him I can't because you're here, like to Sarah. And Sarah's like, I need to tell you something. She's like, I didn't know if I should tell you at first because I thought it was not important or whatever. And she's like, he kissed me at the stables, and Felice was just like, damn, what an asshole. Yeah. And Sarah's like, You're not upset? And she's like, No, I'm not in love with him. She's like, if I was in love with him, I'd be upset, but I don't care. And so then they post a picture online with their middle fingers up, and she's like, when your ex tries to kiss your best friend or something, and August sees it and he's like, he throws his phone and he's like, like, maybe it was a beautiful moment. Like, maybe don't do that then.

SPEAKER_00

It was a truly beautiful moment.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I feel like that's self-inflicted, and I don't have any pity for that. Yeah. And then after that, August is like, we need a meeting right now. We need a mandatory meeting, and we need to protect the crown um over the whole drug incident thing with Alexander.

SPEAKER_00

And he's basically just like, yeah, well, Alexander basically told us or told me if we put all the blame on him that he's gonna tattletale.

SPEAKER_01

Or or it was uh they said if they couldn't get him back into the school, that's what it was. Yes. And so they're trying to come up with a plan, and August is like, well, why don't we just blame it on Simone? Because blame the person that actually gave the drugs. Because he's the one that brought the drugs in the first place. And this is when you see Volum kind of like, What? Yeah, he's like taken back. He's just confused because I guess he He doesn't know at this point. Yeah, he doesn't know at this point. He doesn't know anything, and he's just like, What the hell? And at that point, he's just like, Okay, like what am I supposed to do? Yeah. Because he's conflicted because at one side he cannot be caught with drugs. Yes. Well, and the same fact too is August is saying these things about someone, but he doesn't actually know if they're true, right?

SPEAKER_00

Because like I feel like he knows August to the point where it's like he says things sometimes and you're just like, okay, well, that actually happened, or we're just trying to blame somebody else.

SPEAKER_01

Right. So and then there's the other part of wait, did he actually do it? So Exactly. I I think he's had a lot going on in his mind in that moment, which to be honest, I would be the exact same way.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Cause you want to believe somebody. Right. But then you also want to believe the person you just, you know, had sex with. So Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um valid points all around. Yeah, actually, you know, that yeah. So then we get to back into the school and um Villem was like, you know, we need I need to talk to you. Yeah, so he pulls them into the music room. Yeah. And he's kind of like, so they're I just had a meeting about the Alexander thing and he's like, if he doesn't get back into school, we're all gonna be in trouble. And Simone's just kind of like, okay. And then he's like, Well, they're gonna try and blame it on you. And he's like, Oh. He's like, What? And he's like, Did you bring drugs? And then this is when he finds out that August owes Simone money and that August is broke as hell. He's like, What do you mean broke? He's like, What do you mean he owes you money? And he's like, Yeah, he owes me money. I sold him alcohol for your like induction party. And he was like, Oh, what? And then he was like, Yeah, August is broke, dude. And so then he's like, What the hell? And and it just keeps unfolding because Simone's like thinking that Villain was gonna blame him, go along with the rest of them and blame him, which is not Wilhelm's intention at all. He literally just says, I just wanted to talk to you. I just wanted to figure out what's going on. Right, like he just wants to talk about, you know, why he had the drugs and like how like this. Yeah. And Simone just kind of like distances himself. He's just like, fuck you. Yeah. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was like, can you just talk about it for a second, bro? Like, whoa, damn, whoa, whoa, let's let's relax. Like he's he's just trying to talk to you. Like and it did come out a little a little accusatory, maybe, but at the same time, he didn't understand what was happening, yet Simone didn't really explain anything and like the problems that he's having. And so all all Vilma knows is I mean he basically took Nuddy took his dad's medicine. Exactly. That's all he knows.

SPEAKER_00

And you know, Wilhelm called Simone, he was like, he was like, that's low, you know, like being a drug dealer, doing like the drugs, that's really low. And I think for Simone in that moment, he was kind of like shit on my dad. Like he's not taking the drugs or doing stuff like his dad does, but like the fact that his dad was also like a drug dealer, it seems like, and did all the other stuff, selling stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Well, and I wonder if that triggered him a little bit. I think that's why he got so defensive so he doesn't want to be like his dad at all. And so I think Volum's saying that triggered him, and that's why he had such an explosive reaction about it and wouldn't listen and wouldn't try and talk. That's that's what I think happened to Volum. Which I totally understand.

SPEAKER_00

And that's that's the thing about like this whole entire show, just in general, is like everybody's just kind of like a gray character because you're just like they're doing bad things and then they're doing good things, but then they're also doing things that make sense that are bad things to other people, but it makes sense why they're doing them and you feel bad for them, and it's just like that situation. Yeah. Cause like this whole moment in the music room, I'm like, okay, I understand Wilhelm, and then I also understand Smoone. Like it to a certain extent. Smoone really just kind of pissed me off, but just me personally.

SPEAKER_01

I was like, damn bro, let's let's take a chill pill. Like not gonna blame you. Yeah, and at the end of the day, yeah, they took all the drugs, but also you did give it to to them. Yes. Like you you did do that. Whether that was your intention or not to do all that, you did still drugs and give them. His intention though was for August to sell them and give him the money. Yes. So at the end of the day, it's kind of the same thing. Like he's still, you know, selling drugs. Exactly. I'm like, regardless, I'm like, you still shouldn't have done it, sweetheart. Like exactly. And I understand that you needed money, blah blah blah blah blah. But at the same time, bro, uh, it it didn't really need to go well. Yeah, and like if you're doing that and you're expecting money, all that kind of stuff, then you should know that there's consequences on the other side of it. Yeah, and I don't think he really thought about the consequences, he was just in a desperate pinch for money. And so I and I I don't really think And I think he was also I think what was the biggest unexpected thing is his dad.

SPEAKER_00

I don't think he was his dad expecting his dad to be so alert, so aware of what's going on, yeah. I think that's what also just threw him for through a loop?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, yeah, because his dad basically was like caught on to him right away. Yeah, he was like, So you took my alcohol, I still don't have money from that, and you're taking my drugs, so explain that to me, you know. So it's just which he did get the money back for some of it, yeah. After Simone threw it at him. Ugh. So crazy, so crazy. But anyways, the point is they're both mad at each other, and yeah, it's a whole big ordeal now. Yeah, and Simone leaves, and August, not August, um, Villam calls up. He's like, hey, check on August's financial status. Because he's like, What do you mean he's but we don't know anything else at this point? No, we just that's all we all we hear, all we whatever. Yeah, exactly. And so the headmistress then is pulling August. She's like, I need to talk to you. And he's like, Okay. And he thinks that it's gonna be about the Alexander situation, so he immediately says something. I'm like, Bro, you that instantly to me that's a red flag because you don't even know what the situation's about. So obviously you're trying to cover up something if you didn't.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you're jumping the gun like really, really quickly.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I I hear that I hear that so many times in like true crime cases when they're being interrogated and they bring something up and the investigator didn't even say shit about it. I'm like, so you just literally Exactly like confess to the crime, basically. Basically, like, what are you doing? Oh my gosh. And so the headmaster is also like trying to give him chocolate, like, oh, this is the best one, like trying to make him comfortable, I guess.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And she's like, so I hate to do this, but because you can't pay, you are not allowed back after Christmas break. Yeah, like and he's like done. He's like, What do you mean? He's like graduation. She's like, No. She's like, Unfortunately, I can't do anything if you don't pay. And so he gets so mad. He's like crashes the storm now, storming out of there. I don't I want to know how long he was rowing for. Probably a long time. Cause he he was in the gym rowing and he was like screaming and just yelling and clearly frustrated, which obviously I get it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But oh my god, I just want to know how long he was on there for because oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I feel like he was probably on there for a long time. He was probably just like trying to get all of his anger out, getting all of his anger out energy, which honestly great coping, to be honest. Yeah. Oh, I'm angry. I'm gonna go row a fucking boat in the gym. Like, yeah. I mean, hell yeah. Do that. No, no drugs. Okay, no drugs, yeah, no alcohol, just instead working out. I think that's a great, a great way to cope with cope with that. So, I mean, props to him for that at least. And then we get back to the another meeting, yeah. It's a group. They end up in that little room where they had like the party and stuff the last episode, and August is like, okay, so the plan is to blame uh Simone. Simone. Like, that's decided. And Volum's like, what if we just blame Alexander? He's like, that would be the easiest route. And August is like, well, last time I checked, you're not in charge here. And he's like, you've been here what a week. And I was like, uh Um, this whole little group is to protect the crown. He's literally the crown. The crown.

SPEAKER_00

Like you're staring at the crown.

SPEAKER_01

Right now. I was like, what do you mean he's not more important than you? And then I love Wilhelm for this. He's like, Well, you see, you won't even be here, you know, after Christmas. So what's the point of you being, you know he aired out his dirty laundry so bad, and everyone was just like looking around, they're like, oh shit. I saw the one guy in the background going, no, he mouths. He was like, What? He was like, holy fuck. Because Wilhelm's like, you won't even be here. So like, what does it matter what you say? Exactly. And he's like, because even if you do find a way to pay, it's because you're gonna have to sell your land. And you sell that, then you're no longer a part of this group because you're not. And you're broke as fuck, so get out of here. Silenced him immediately. And he's like, So does everyone agree with my plan to blame Alexander? And everybody's like, yep. Everyone's like, Yep, sounds good. So that's what they do. And they all meet with the headmistress slash headmaster and say their story. And they all are telling the story and all blaming Alexander. Which like is still crazy. It's so crazy. Like, and this is the thing that like really got me about like someone, like he was saying, like, well, what about my family?

SPEAKER_00

I need to protect my family or whatever. But I'm like, you've literally just ruined another kid's whole entire like life. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like h his his life, his family's, his the whole legacy, right? Exactly. So it's like And also, I also want to say I mean, he did agree to do it. What, Alexander? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, were you gonna Okay, if you're probably in that situation, you have a bunch of people literally bullying you and telling you to do stuff, would you say no? Or do you get your ass beat?

SPEAKER_01

I'm trying, I'm trying to- Yeah. Silent. I'm trying to I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think. Okay. If I was I gotta think back to like my freshman sophomore self because that's how old the first years are. If I think back to my freshman sophomore self and I had a bunch of people bullying me to bring drugs, I don't think I would do it. I'd be like, Lily, fuck you. But also, they weren't rich. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Well, and also think about how like I mean, for Wilhelm's celebratory party, they literally hung him up to a tied him up and did all that nasty ass stuff to somebody they liked, okay? So that's true. Imagine something they would do to somebody they don't like or don't really care about.

SPEAKER_01

That's true. You know what? I think he might be right. And they locked him out and they did all this stuff to him. So I feel like he was Literally, they locked him out and he couldn't get back in. That's why he was caught with the dogs. So Which I don't understand why he didn't just leave him in the room.

SPEAKER_00

I I they're stupid.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, they're young. Yeah. But I don't know what I would do in Alexander's case. Like, I don't think I would want to, but it's more so like you have to, you're part of the brother brotherhood, you have to continue legacies, do all this kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_00

He might have had push from his parents, you don't know. There's like there's just a bunch of things. So, like, what I have, no. What I've wanted to, no. But would I have a choice? Yes, you always have a choice, obviously.

SPEAKER_01

But I don't know, I guess there's a certain point. In that situation, it's like choosing between two evils. Basically. So I'm just like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I I don't blame Alexander on any of this. Yeah, he's gonna say no, but it would have been somebody else if it wasn't him.

SPEAKER_01

So they they just treat him like shit. Yeah, like they're so mean to him. For one. But yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, so I don't blame him, because it would have just been the next person down the line, like the next little small fish in the in the in the sea. Yeah, that's true. But they would they would get anyone they could. Exactly. And no matter what, that person would still get in trouble.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

So you know But then we're uh getting ready for the Lucia. Yeah, the Lucia holiday. Mm-hmm. But I'm gonna look that up. I looked it up because I was like, what is this?

SPEAKER_00

It's basically just like a celebratory thing that they do in in Sweden around it's like right before Christmas time. And they basically just celebrate. I f I forgot exactly what it said. But it was talking about like famine and different things. I think it's just like some sort of something happened and they just always like reminder at the light and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. So I was like, why is everybody dress dressing on white and doing all this?

SPEAKER_01

I know, like they all have like on white long tunic dresses. And you're just like and the girls are all wearing like red sashes around their waists, and they all have like leaves around their head. Like they're all dressed the same except for Felice, because she's supposed to be Lucia. She was voted to be Lucia, which is why that one scene, which we didn't really so confused about. Yeah. Say she found out that she was the Lucia. She's gonna be a she was voted for Lucia. So she she's the only one that's like wearing a different dress, and she's supposed to be wearing her mom's the one that her mom sent her, passed down, but it's too small, and it's literally just because she has really big boobs. I can relate. Yeah. Quite terrible. But I'm glad it didn't fit because the dress was ugly as fuck. Like, no offense to her mom and grandma, but yeah, but like the fact that Felice's mom was trying to force her to wear it, like she saw it with it on, and then she was like forcing her. She was like, um, so you gotta put this on.

SPEAKER_00

And then she starts taking off her dress that she's wearing.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like, bro, because she she put on a different dress, which it was gorgeous, but it was beautiful, and her mom pulls up, she's like, Why aren't you wearing the one I sent you? And so then she literally tries to start wrestling with her daughter, trying to unzip the back of the dress to put the other one on. Yeah. And I'm like, you are a fucking freak, dude. And honestly, proud of Felice for standing up to her and telling her no, like so many times. I know. I was just like, Yes, girl, set that boundary. And her mom finally stepped back. Yes. And I was like, literally, get the fuck out. Like, you're being a freak right now. Why are you so obsessed? And she's like, Well, it's a legacy, you know, my grandma, your grandma and I wore it. It's like, who cares? It's ugly and it doesn't fit.

SPEAKER_00

Right. So obviously, the second I saw that she got that package and her mom sent it and said, I wore this, I was like, Okay.

SPEAKER_01

And uh, how is that supposed to fit? Right. Literally, because in one of the other episodes with the pants making, she's like, Oh, this is too big for me, you can probably fit in it. So the second I saw that, no, I said, Well fuck, it's not gonna fit her. Like, well then it's not. Would you do that, you dumbass? Literally, like first you fashion your daughter, and then you expect her to wear your dress. Well, and also if you're gonna do that, like maybe, I don't know, change it or something.

SPEAKER_00

Or get it fitted.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so it can fit her better, and maybe she won't feel bad about herself like you're doing when you're forcing her like other clothes. You you know damn well they have the money to get it fitted properly. Yes. And like get it too.

SPEAKER_00

That just pisses me off.

SPEAKER_01

Like, you guys are stupid. Like, she's clearly having a tough time. Yes, and is concerned about her weight and all that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_00

So, why would you do that?

SPEAKER_01

And no thoughts. She's probably concerned about her weight because of her mom in the first place. Yeah. Like her mom has probably always mentioned her weight, like, oh, you need to look like this, you need to look like this. Yeah. Like, girl, it's not her fault she's got big boobs. Yeah. Like, she can't help that. Exactly. So stupid. The other dress that she wore fit so much. It looks so good.

SPEAKER_00

I want that dress.

SPEAKER_01

I was like, damn, she looks so good. I was like, yeah, that other dress is not doing me any favors, girl. This dress is the one. It was like roughly and it had like a nude kind of I want it. Like under part of the dress to it. It was so cute. Oh good. But she she was like, This is this is ridiculous. And as all this is happening, August like keeps watching the fucking video he took of throughout the whole entire episode watching the video that he took of I'm like, are you jealous? Are you obsessed? Like, what's why do you keep watching? Like, it's not even like he's like glancing at it, he's like watching it for.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's not like he's just like scrolling through his photos and he just sees that it's there and is looking at it that it's there, or it's paused or something.

SPEAKER_01

He purposely goes to it and then watches it. And I'm like, perv? No, he's looking at fucking perv. Like, what are you doing? Like

SPEAKER_00

I don't like that.

SPEAKER_01

No at all. She's weird. Like, why are you watching that? That's so also without them even consenting and knowing is so fucked up. I mean, yeah. Like, if you want to watch that stuff, go somewhere else. This not not not here. That's yeah, I don't anything about that's just weird, creepy. It's so creepy and perverted. And it's problematic. It is very problematic. And it's also like they don't even know that he has that. Right. Like, that's evil. So evil. That is so evil. But we um we get to the whole Lucia event though. It was just so pretty. It was. It was so so pretty. And at this point, Sarah is trying to find her stash for around her waist. So she's somewhere else. And at this point, we're outside with Villem and Simone. And Villem texts him and is like, hey, I need to talk to you about the Alexander situation. So they talk, they go into the private room and everything. It's like one of the classrooms or something.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. And Willem's just like, well, we're blaming Alexander. Like, we're not blaming you.

SPEAKER_01

And then Simone to be like, Do you want me to say thank you? I was like, damn! Like, come on, what? I was like, damn, bro. Like the whole turnaround. I know it's crazy. Volum's just like, no, I'm just talking. He's just telling you. Like, I didn't want to lose you. You're the only person I feel like I can talk to. And that breaks Simone so quickly. He's like, God damn, like then Volum's like eyes are so full of tears. He's like about to start crying. And he looks so sad. And he's like, I just really I couldn't lose you. Like I I I really wanted to protect you. And so then Simone goes over to him and hugs him. And they're there like embracing each other. And it's so cute. It is. And they're both like crying a little bit. And it's just It's just very emotional. Which I understand Simone. I mean, he's very defensive. I think very I think a lot of that is just how he was like stuff he's gone through in the past. Yeah. Um, and he's again, he's used to being treated poorly by over and over and over all these rich people. So he's probably expecting the same and he's just trying to self-preserve, protect himself. But Wilhelm, he's not like that. Yeah. Like he he would never he does not want to hurt him. Yeah. So it was just a very cute moment. And he yeah, and he never and Wilhelm personally, I feel like he never does anything to protect himself. No.

SPEAKER_00

Like whenever he's doing stuff, it's for the crown specifically.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00

And it's not that he wants to do that, it's because he has to do that, and it's for them, it's not really for him.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Because if it was for him, he wouldn't be doing it.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00

So their dynamics are very different. The fact that I feel like Wilhelm's very selfless.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And Simone is not selfish, but it's just like he just has like you said, has been through a lot.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So I I understand why he's so defensive, but at the same time, just like, bro, it's okay, relax. Hold on for two seconds. Like he hasn't shown you anything to say that he's like everyone else. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like And you know that, or else you wouldn't have done all the stuff with him. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Or wanted to hang out with him. Or wanted to hang out with him, kiss him, touch him. Like obviously he's different. So just uh take a deep breath. Take one of the chill pills. It's bro. It's gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_00

And teaching you to take a breath. Which it's not gonna be okay, but that's you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and as this is happening, our little our little pal, August uh Rat Pal. Rat pal, August is uh at the computer lab. Oh, what is he doing in there? I wonder.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe uploading a specific video to the online that he shouldn't have in the first place, but and he's just so angry because he's not gonna be at the school anymore. He's broke, he's a loser, has no girlfriend, blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_01

Mind you, the girlfriend part is his fault. Like he he set that up himself. Oh, so I feel like yeah, he's been angry about it, but like, bro, you did it, so like I don't know what you were expecting to happen. I don't know what yeah. I literally have written down August uploading the video on caps, like a little bitch. Yeah, he is a little bitch, so and so he uploads it and he's like, Alright, cool. And he looks through the window, and Sarah's looking at him through the window after she grabs her. She doesn't know what he's doing, but she sees him there. She does see him there, and she's like, Okay. And she keeps walking, and she gets a message from Felice. She's like, hey, hurry up, I have a surprise. And I was like, Oh, what's the surprise? What's the surprise? Um and she gets to be the Lucia. She does, she gets to be the Lucia, because we they open the doors and Lucia walks in first, and it's Sarah, and she's wearing the headpiece, she's carrying the candle and whatnot. Like, she looks so pretty. She does, because well, when we go back to Felice's mom, Felice's like, I don't even want to be Lucia. Like, I don't want to do this. This is dumb. So then she got like that little idea, and she's like, Well, Sarah said she wanted to be Lucia. So let me just do that for her. So let me just let her be Lucia. And the look on Felice's mom's face when Sarah walked in. She's priceless. She was like, Are you fucking kidding me? She was so mad. But like, I'm so glad that these kids are breaking some of that. The family dynamics, unhealthy family dynamics. So good for them. Yes. Honestly. Because I I'm glad they're not just going along with some bullshit that they think they have to. Yeah. I think that's why I can appreciate like Felice's character. I like her character a lot as a whole. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like she's one of those where it's like, yeah, she has her problems, but she's not gonna let other people falter for those problems. Yeah. Or like she'll b believe when somebody says something. Yeah. Like when Sarah told her, Hey, this happened, but I didn't do anything. She didn't get defensive, or was like, oh my gosh, you kissed him, or Right. Like, you know, when you see that all the time, she was just like, Okay, yeah, sure, I believe you, and he's an asshole, so that's it, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Like, she's a girls' girl. Like, yeah. Down when it comes down to it, she is a girls' girl. She does not play about her friends. So that's why I'm okay with her. I I really like her. Like, yeah, they all have their issues, but I really like her. Yeah. She's so chill. And then we get to the queen, or not the queen.

SPEAKER_00

Somebody call f from the royal family calls and talks to August on films. Yes. And they're basically just like, hey, so um the queen like paid for your school and everything, so you're good.

SPEAKER_01

You're taken care of. And mind you, this guy just fucked up so bad by putting this video online. Yeah. Like the audacity to do that, and then having your school paid for because of the guy in the video. Are you serious?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Literally fuck off. I would have the biggest crash out. That man literally helped you. That guy literally helped you, and all you did was fuck him over. Literally, you are a piece of shit. And again, like I I just I can't stand him. I can't stand him either. He's horrible. Like, what are you doing? You didn't even you didn't even think about it. You just were like, oh, I'm gonna post this online. Because he just got so upset from the whole group thing and Wilhelm calling him out and everything. Exactly. And I'm like, I understand, but maybe go row again. I don't know, go back to the gym, go do something. This is ridiculous. He's past the whole rowing thing. Like, this is too far gone. He he is too far gone. Honestly. And at this, like, after ceremony, like all the parents are there and whatnot, they're Simone and Sarah's dad shows up after after this call with the queen. And uh they're kind of like, what the fuck? Like, why is he here? Nobody invited him. No, exactly. And he's like, Well, you know, since Simone came and visited, I thought everyone deserves a second chance. I'm like And Sarah's like, what the fuck? I'm like, so you don't get to decide if you get a second chance with someone.

SPEAKER_00

That's not how that works.

SPEAKER_01

That's not how that works. So I was just like, the audacity is unbelievable. It was crazy. And he brought flowers too. And Sarah looks at Simone and she's like, I want him to leave. Like she won't even talk to him. Yeah, she's like, get him out of here. She's like, I need him to leave. And after he leaves, Sarah's like, Bro, what the hell did he do? Mm-hmm. Like, why is he here? Because she knows she knows something something happened for him to come here. Yeah. Because, you know, someone promised not to visit, not to go to his dad's. Because every time he go went there, something bad would happen. Hence literally everything happening right now. Correct. So she was just calling, what the fuck did you do? Like, this cannot be real.

SPEAKER_00

But uh we end the good old episode though with uh the video being leaked.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. And it's very weird. Because Willem is watching their dad leave, and then he looks down on his phone and he starts getting this these texts that's like, is this you? Is this you? And then there's like comments being like, oh my god, he's gay, he's gay. And then there's like some mean comments and then some good comments, and then there's the ones that are just like, oh my god, sexy. I told Marilyn. I said that would be my comment. I'd be like, uh cool. I'd literally see that I'd be like, oh my god, amazing. What really? Like, wow, wow. I'd be like, the crown prince is gay, cool. Like that's what I would do. I'd be like, great.

SPEAKER_00

Again, my comment would have been sexy.

SPEAKER_01

Sexy. Like, bro, what the f actual fuck? And you can just tell that he is um cooked. Panicking. Yeah. You can see it in his eyes. He's like, he's like, oh fuck, lights are on, but nobody's home. Yeah. So that's a big episode, isn't that great? It's fantastic. I think it's beautiful. It just goes to show that the rest of the season's gonna be How many episodes do we have left? Terrible. Three, I think. Three, okay. Because I believe it's eight episodes. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Total. Which going through the series again reminds me how much like little time the two of them actually have together. Yeah.
