jane updated their private story: think pink

 

[description: a video of both olivia and jane in jane’s bed, both giggling at something. jane pans the camera to show the newspaper they’re reading. on the newspaper, there’s a slightly blurry photo of mr daniels getting arrested, and you can see ms mcgee in the background covering her mouth, presumably laughing. transcript is as follows:

 

jane: do you think ms mcgee called the cops on him?

 

the camera points at olivia, who shrugs.

 

jane: how do you feel?

 

a beat.

 

olivia: at first… sad, kind of, but i just remembered he’s a creep and a weirdo so i’m fine now, he got what he deserved.

 

they both giggle.

 

the video ends.]

 

captioned: creep got arrested ohmygod
