When it comes to Hope Haddons vision for Moordale, appearance is key.
How can you expect students to learn when theres no law, no rules governing the congested halls?
To Hope, Moordale has an image problem, so a total redesign makes sense.
The lockers are painted gray.
She goes full Professor Umbridge, in other words.
Its not surprising, at the end of Episode Two, that Hope institutes a new school-uniform policy.
Early in the episode, Rahim warns his classmates, This line is not about unity.
Were going to be into tiny, little boxes.
Nothing is ever just a line.
He echoes that last statement at the close of the episode, ending on a foreboding note.
The turn is foreshadowed by this episodes focus on costume design and self-expression.
Much later, she actually demands Maeve hand it over.
Its a bit of a clicheed story.
Coming to his mom, Otis asks, Do you think Im a casual-relationships kinda guy?
But I also think that its good for you to try different types of relationships.
In bed afterward, Jakob suggests they get back together and form a real family.
Its a moving conversation and one that could never have happened for either of them two seasons ago.
But this time, it doesnt bother me much because I like Otis and Ruby together.
All the words are there in my head.
I just dont know how to say the thing that I want to say.
The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
People think Im scary or stupid.
He didnt grow up in a naked family, he says.
Thats how I would like to do it.
I also love the use of Sound of da Police, by KRS-One, over the credits.
At the visit this episode, she tells Maeve nobody wants her there.
Maeve is also considering applying to an international program in the U.S. called Gifted & Talented.
That should make for some great scenes.
Update: An earlier version of this recap switched Anwar and Rahim
