Before school on Ginny's birthday, she'd texted, DMed, Snapchatted, and Venmo requested Sophie all in the course of three hours. Max got a bikini wax for this after all, and she's been almost insufferable in the attention she's paying to Sophie. While Ginny isn't pleased that this birthday party includes a sleepover component, the girls vow to figure out a way to sneak out. Ginny isn’t having it, but Georgia has arranged a beauty bar, a karaoke costume corner, a clothes customization station, and even snagged a bedazzler for the occasion. But no matter, it's birthday surprise time, and Max, Abby, and Norah are here for fun hang times. Another slight qualm here: there is literally no way a house this big wouldn't have a private master bathroom for Georgia, so feels like a pretty contrived conflict. The next morning, Ginny is waiting on Austin, who's taking forever in the bathroom, but surprise: It's actually Mayor Paul.
Austin's dad is serving time for embezzlement, and there are plenty of gaps in her timeline because she's frequently on the run. And fifth, a private investigator named Gabriel Cordova (Alex Mallari Jr.) tells Kenny's ex-wife the truth about Georgia's real identity: Her real name is Mary, she was born in Alabama, her birth father is serving time for attempted murder, and she lived off the grid from ages 14 to 18 until she went by the name of Georgia Miller (she took Zion's last name though they were never married). Fourth, another flashback shows young Georgia going back to her abusive stepdad and shooting him, proving that her self-defense instincts have been there for years. Third, it turns out the letters from Austin's dad in prison are actually written by Georgia (not so shocking) and that she's applied for a credit card in Austin's name (definitely shocking).
Second, a sweet flashback of young Georgia and Zion goofing around at a gas station takes a turn when Zion goes outside to start his motorcycle and Georgia pulls out a gun and holds the place up. Oh, and that dick English teacher from the first day of school? He continues to be a dick by touting Hunter's perfect score on the pop quiz as the score to beat - no mention of Ginny also getting 100 percent or the fact that she is the top student in the class. Lots of (white) kids stop Ginny in the hallway - asking her about why she looks so exotic or informing her that they're totally "woke" - though Ginny does entertain and appreciate the overture from a Black classmate who invites her to join field hockey or student leadership or just hang out sometime. 3!), give Ginny the Mean Girls rundown of the school. And while there are plenty of non-white people in Ginny's new school, there's definitely tension that we can see as Max and her friends, Abby (Katie Douglas) and Norah (Chelsea Clark, Degrassi alum No. Ginny feels uncomfortable with her identity in general, since sometimes she feels she's not white enough for the white kids and not Black enough for the Black kids. Ginny helps her remove it, but thinks seriously about the kind of armor that beauty can provide - for her mother, it's both armor and a weapon. This is why Georgia gets so freaked out when she sees Ginny flirting with Marcus, and even boldly kissing him.Ī crisis is afoot in the Miller household - one that has Georgia waking Ginny up screaming at 5 a.m. It's not not true, but it does establish the relationship between Ginny and Georgia - Georgia has a huge personality and is prone to flights of fancy, so Ginny has positioned herself as the wise, grounded one in their relationship. Actually, later, when Ginny is getting ready for her first date with cute popular guy Hunter, she even tells her mom she's trying too hard to be edgy. "Thirsty moms throw their twats at him,” says Max, because, just a reminder, this show is edgier than Gilmore Girls. Max tells Ginny all about Mayor Paul when the teens spot Georgia chatting with the politician after school. 2: That would be Raymond Ablack, who plays Joe, the owner of the local restaurant whom Georgia meets just before she has a meet cute with the town's dreamy mayor, Paul Randolph, played by Jason Street himself (Scott Porter, for you non- Friday Night Lights-watching philistines).
