Season 2 is coming to an end, and there’s a lot in the air for tonight’s episode.

We were left with a “To Be Continued” title card over Cassie’s angered face, fogging up the window looking into the theatre after Nate broke up with her over Lexie’s play.

Directer Sam Levinson left us hanging, knowing something insane is about to go down because if we know one thing about Cassie Howard is that she will do anything for Nate Jacobs.

Cassie: Am I everything you wished for?

I would love for you to f*** me… whenever and… however you want.

You can control what I wear…

what I eat…

who I talk to.

I want every guy you know to wanna f*** me… but they can’t.

Because they know I’m yours. I belong to you…

and I will never complain because I trust you know what’s best.

Nate: Aren’t you afraid people are gonna look down on ya?

Cassie: At least I’m loved.
(Episode 7, Season 2)

Cassie’s a complex character. Unlike her boyfriend, Nate I don’t believe she’s a bad person. This may be controversial because most of the internet seems to be #TeamMaddy, but I think Cassie is a deeply traumatized and misunderstood character.

Everyone in life seeks validation, it’s just about where you get it. Cassie was blessed and cursed with a beautiful figure. Her sister Lexie receives attention and praise for intellect and creativity, while Cassie is only really applauded for her physical appearance.

Attention feels good, and if men sexualizing you is the only attention you get, you’re going to seek it.

I’m afraid of what Cassie might do to defend Nate. Her self-worth is defined by the attention he gives her, and him dumping her may only spin her deeper into her manic episode portrayed throughout season 2.

Do you have sympathy for Cassie? Or is she too far gone?

Tune in tonight at 6pm to see what unfolds in this Cassie versus Lexie sister-drama.
