![]() The scene is a huge hit with almost everyone in the audience, though a lot of them are shooting furtive glances at Nate, who is mortified and bolts by the end of the song.Įarlier in the episode, we’d seen someone’s fantasy - Nate’s? Cassie’s? I’m honestly not sure - unfold as Cassie told Nate he could control “what I wear, what I eat, who I talk to… I belong to you, and I won’t ever complain, because I trust you know what’s best.” And then, later, Nate had been thinking about Maddy, then Jules, then throwing Cassie down on a bed, ripping her fishnets and putting his hand on her face the way Cal did to Jules. And we get a good sense of Ethan’s versatility as a performer as he takes on the roles of both Lexi’s character’s mom - who cackles, tickled, in the audience - and the character based on Nate.Ībout that: The portion of the show that we see in this episode ends with a large scale, highly choreographed, gold-lamé wrapped and intentionally homoerotic number in which Stage Nate lip syncs to Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” while gyrating with the rest of the semi-clad members of the dramatized football team.

As the drugs kick in, the camera pulls back… and we realize that we’re now watching the dramatization of this scene in Lexi’s play, called Our Life, in which Rue is a character named “Jade.” The real Rue - as well as the rest of their social circle - watches from the audience and slowly has the same realization that Maddy comes to as she whispers, “Wait, is this f–king play about us?!” Lexi reads her a poem, “Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower” by Rainier Maria Rilke.
