Last nights episode of Red Band Society featured a homecoming dance, the worst mother in the world, and some questionable decision-making. <\/p>\n
Red Band Society season 1, episode 4 aired last night. In this recap we discuss all the different storylines, and ask the questions that need to be addressed. <\/p>\n
Kara (Zoe Levin)s storyline this episode was pretty straightforward, and yet revealed something new about her personality (although it still doesnt make much sense). <\/p>\n
In an attempt to get back to normalcy, Kara goes back to high school for the homecoming party, where she intends to remind people of her fearsome existence. <\/p>\n
Instead she is treated like a homecoming hero; all her former enemies now love and pity her, and she has to accept the homecoming queen crown while sitting in a wheelchair. <\/p>\n
Earlier that evening, Kara explained to Leo (Charlie Rowe) that she hated the attention; she didnt want to be pitied, she wanted to be feared. Understanding this, Leo jumps onto the stage to interrupt the false celebration of her, throwing insults at Kara we now know she doesnt only deserve, but also actively seeks out. <\/p>\n
This revelation is somewhat reassuring for viewers who have been scratching their heads at Karas behaviour. What she says and does is not born out of some misguided attempt to be popular, and she doesnt actually think its acceptable; Kara is, for some reason, actively pursuing being a legitimately bad person who it is impossible to like. <\/p>\n
Its nice to know that theres a reason for her behaviour, though when the revelation of why she wants to be hated comes, its probably going to be something predictable like, love is easy to lose, but fear you can control. Well see. <\/p>\n
Damn, Leo is one insightful teenager. <\/p>\n
At the beginning of the episode Leo is flashing back to his soccer playing days. Hes been contacted by a scout from Stanford who wants to see him play, and as he explains to Nurse Jackson (Octavia Spencer), he wont be able to attend college without a scholarship. <\/p>\n
