Ep20: Off Like A Prom Dress



Description: Danica, Lauren and Nikki slip into prom dresses and things heat up.

Milo's Recap: The chicks go to try on prom dresses. Nikki and Lauren discuss who Danica should go with. Because Nikki and Lauren like to control things like this, ya know. Danica rejects Nolan as an option (that's the drug dealer). Danica then suggest Josh, which causes icicles to shoot out of Lauren's eyes as she protects her very weak claim to him.

Chance that Lauren is a killer: Increased.
Chance that Danica gets killed: Increased.
Chance that Nikki has a nip-slip at the prom: Increased

EDIT: fixed link

Wow, um, agree with everything Milo said above.

Weird that she'd try to convince Danica to go with Nolan though... last time we saw Lauren and Nolan together she was pretty pissed at him.

It's all part of a master plan... Lauren seems pretty manipulative. Well, either that or bipolar...

One thing with this episode - I've been so used to the cliches, that I couldn't stop myself from thinking, "Oh my god, like, Lauren and Nikki are sooo in the wrong dresses for their personalities. They should, like, totally swap." hehehe

[hookedonmonics]

You're right! That may be part of why I can't keep them straight.
I think that their "most likely" profiles threw me off, too. I picture a "most likely to marry highschool sweetheart" or whatever nikki has, to belong to a sweet, softspoken girl. Lauren has more of a face for that persona in my mind, and since Nikki is sassy and irritating, I assume that Nikki is slutty/bitchy girl, and Lauren is hopelessly devoted. I think I finally have them straight now. Just go against my intuitions.

LOL, and I was thinking, "man, why does lauren keep touching her hair?" I'd be worrying about filling in those cups properly, how I'll get it tailored to be short enough, and trying to look behind me to make sure my butt looks ok in it. OK, TMI, sry!

Interesting how Danica gets to hang out with "cool girls" Lauren and Nikki even though she's a loner. I guess Lauren is a pretty nice host. Also interesting that Lauren and Nikki hang together so much, as they are on opposite ends of the money scale.

Well, as an assistant principal at a large public school Jill probably makes 60,000 or so, especially if she's been in the system for 10-15 years. Then add 10-20,000 in child support, depending on what the baby-daddy does...

So you're not talking about wealthy like Nikki, but you're not talking about poor either. Since the men's soccer team seems to be the dominant social group I'm sure the blonde hair more than makes up for being decidedly middle-class.

But, watch for class-tensions to seep out from Jill as rich girl Nikki is the early favorite for prom queen.

Good point, I forgot she was assistant principal. I think I saw that on her myspace, but for some reason I just keep thinking of her as prom committee moderator and nothing else (now that would make a pittance).

Just to clarify though, when I said opposite ends of the money scale, I didn't mean to imply that Lauren was impoverished. Just that Nikki is way richer.

well, not only is this a pretty active PQ thread for the cove, but it is BY FAR the most viewed PQ episode to date on myspace. over 875,000 views in just over 48 hours. i'm sure the screencap and episode title may have a little to do with that. but that is still a huge number of views in that period of time.
