Lulu Confronts Nina Over Charlotte’s Whereabouts — and Dex Is Rushed Into Surgery After Being Stabbed
Joss comes home from a run, and Trina’s on her computer working on her art history presentation. Trina tells Joss that she won’t believe what happened. Trina says Kai finished his part of the project and sent it to her, and it’s really good. Trina says he went above and beyond in his work. Joss thinks this makes Trina’s life easier. Trina admits she’s happy but annoyed, as his work might be better than hers.
Trina wonders if she’s been too hard on Kai. Joss says she told her she had been. She tells Trina that it’s clear Kai is smart, that he wants to earn his grade, and that he wants to get her the grade she deserves.
Trina realizes Kai is a hard worker and not just a jock slacking through school. She hates admitting she’s wrong, but she was wrong. However, she wonders if it would be wrong to present the project without him and take an A in the course.
