Raidah's just pissed that whatever connections Dana has are now lost to her.

I guess Walky is thinking of Mike there

He's the DoA version of Ninja Rick.

Man, it's gonna be sweet if Walky tells Raidah "Hey, thanks but no thanks on... whatever this is" and just walks. Casually discarding Billie's oh-so-superior little clique that she values so highly... the explosion will be visible from space.

They're not. Dana broke up with him during her spiral. Sarah said that was when she stopped getting any sleep, because Dana was home all the time now

Also: is that a note of “what the fuck are you talking about” from good sweet Lucy? I dare to dream it is! Go Lucy go! Dismantle the Pettiness Monarch!

God, fuck Raidah. She is a petty dipshit and I hate her.

Also, Raidah, o generous and wonderful crusader for Justice: Sarah is a black girl rooming with a white one.
Imagine if criminal charges had been pressed over the drugs and Sarah HADN’T reported it. Do you think Sarah wouldn’t end up, in the best-case scenario, unable to go to school basically anywhere??
Hell, imagine if Dana had died! The police would probably just have made Sarah disappear! You have to know this, Raidah, you scumbag!!

In which all Raidah does is retraumatize Walky, and not even in a way that makes him malleable necessarily
Stellar work, queen of petty dipshit assholes

Raidah knows fully well Sarah reported Dana's condition not to any campus authority but to Dana's father. Sarah doesn't have the power to force another adult to go home. If Raidah had the actual maturity she believes she has, perhaps she would consider that Sarah did not get Dana expelled - Sarah got Dana's dad to be more a more active support. I'm sure Dana could return to IU whenever she feels ready. Also: wondering if she and Carl are still dating long distance. He doesn't say ex.

I must admit I am kind of with Walky. Who is Carl and how did he get there? Is he a conversation ninja who randomly stealths into conversations, drops conversational land mines and then detonates a smoke bomb and disappears?

In addition to her grades slipping
A) Sarah was not able to sleep.
B) Dana was doing drugs IN THE DORM ROOM which could get both her and Sarah expelled (because Sarah can be held responsible for not reporting it).
C) Sarah was afraid Dana was going to DIE. Whether that means she thinks Dana did more than weed or she was afraid Dana was going to kill herself, either of which is big concern.
And what else should she have done, given Dana was getting worse and worse?
- School therapists can be helpful, but Sarah cannot COMPEL Dana to go.
- Reporting her state to the school likely could have resulted in them finding out about the drugs and kicking her out.
- None of YOU believed her that Dana was spiralling and weren't willing to help.
- The grace of a professor can only go so far

Yeah, I think Walky's a little too sharp for this little dog & pony show to work. He might be shallow, but he's not dumb.
