Then, there’s sweet Lexi (Maude Apatow), who is living in her own little world. She begs the vice principal to let her put on a school play after realizing that her inability to speak up for herself is because she’s an “observer” to other people’s experiences. If the world was a movie, she’d be writing or directing it, choosing which outfits Cassie looks “sluttier, tackier, sloppier,” or chastising Rue for showing up to set (class) high.
Even Cal (Eric Dane) has a moment of relatability in the intro, where we are introduced to him as a young, athletic and attractive teen. He seemingly has it all, with girls clamoring after him and a best friend named Derek, who feels like an extension of himself. But he secretly has feelings for Derek and they’re briefly reciprocated—until his girlfriend finds out she’s pregnant with Nate.
