I hope so too. I've always had a feeling she had a similar past to, say, Alex. She seems to have grown up having to look out for herself, and every time she lets down her walls or tries to fit in - like in TWWGB, when her and Drew first started going out - she's rejected. Especially by the girls, who view her as a threat because first of all she's hot, and second of all she doesn't take anyone's crap. Or when she finally finds something good in her life... it all goes to hell, like when Anson showed up and then the whole ordeal with Vince.

It's very easy to understand why she is the way she is, even from what little information we've been given about her.

That COULD be the reason why. Ever since I saw the promo with Bianca and Audra, I've been looking forward to seeing that scene. It's possible that Audra steps in as a sort of mother-figure, since I doubt that Bianca's ever had any positive female role models.

Also, I find it interesting how they have similar personalities. All of the girls Drew has dated (well, Katie only when she was first introduced) have these very domineering personalities... I could see Bianca growing up to be a Mama Bear like Audra.

It kind of reminds me of that make up scene with Bianca and Imogen, where Bianca was telling her that she was going through a lot of stuff and Imogen had said something along the lines of thinking Bianca was cool, and then Bianca was like, "Trust me, you don't want to get involved." Then she told Imogen that she was good. I feel like she'll react to Katie in a similar manner, albeit more harsher since Katie's treating her like crap. Katie's probably been sheltered her entire life and would never have strayed from the straight and narrow path UNTIL she hurt her knee and got hooked on Codeine. Now she's probably like, "Welp, I've got nothing else going for me so SCREW THE RULES!"

Bianca, on the other hand, HAS been exposed to that kind of life style and KNOWS how dangerous it can be. She'll try to warn Katie but Katie, who already sees her as a threat and thinks she'll steal Drew at the drop of a hat, probably won't listen.

Me too!

Teen Nick just released some photos from the next episode.



Is that Maya in the background? I think it is. So Bianca's gonna be at Katie's house at some point.

Bianca looks really torn. What if Katie is blackmailing her or something? Like what if, since Bianca wants to start over or whatever, she's trying to get involved with some kind of extracurricular and Katie's like, "Well, you need to help me get some more Codeine." I mean, if her addiction really is getting worse, then I'm sure her mom and Maya have noticed more pills disappearing, and since Bianca has a history with dealing drugs (even if she didn't want to) Katie asks her to score her some?



I'm guessing this is when she sees Katie dancing with that random guy and storms over.



Arriving at the club, which we already saw in a promo a while back. Unless it's one of those fictional "teenage" clubs, my guess is they have fake IDs.

Thanks for posting those, but try not to double post (especially if the last post was less than 48 hours prior). Just edit your last post.

Now, on to the pictures. That definitely is Maya, which makes me very happy to see that she'll at least put in an appearance in Friday's episode. I get the sense from the write-ups that Bianca is kinda desperate for a female friend, and Katie (going back to that conversation about trusting Drew she had with Marisol in Nowhere to Run) throws an olive branch Bianca's way. I don't know if there's any blackmail or anything like that going on, but I do suspect that at some point Katie will hit her up for a connection and Bianca feeling guilty (it's possible this could happen after she kisses Drew) or still desperate to keep her relationship with Katie, "helps" her out.

In that first picture Katie is cut off but maybe she's lying to Maya and Bianca feels weird about it? This could be as they're getting ready to go out together or after. I think after would probably make more sense considering what Katie says to Bi in one of those promos- looked like they were in Katie's kitchen.

I could see Bi trying to befriend Katie but from these promos it doesn't seem like Katie has any intention of being BFFs. I'm guessing it's more like a keep your friends close, enemies closer situation.

That could very well be it.

But seriously, I'm just so happy that we're finally getting an A-plot from Bianca's point of view. Drop it Like it's Hot was one of my favorite episodes in Now or Never solely because of the Bianca plot, and I've been dying to see more from her POV ever since. This looks like a very promising episode to me! (:

Nekoshoujo

^ Agreed! It's waaaaay overdue! Hopefully this is the first of many A-plots for our girl

Lady Azura

Oh, my bad. Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush so I wasn't really paying attention. I'll try not to do that again!

I could definitely see that too.


Oh, most likely. Especially since her addiction is probably making her even more paranoid than usual.

May I be added?

Lady Azura

Of course!

I'm beginning to like Bianca because of Drew. He brings out the likable side of her.

So Bianca's first A-plot led to another great episode. One of the few from 11.5 I really liked anyway. I'm so glad she's turning over a new leaf. But she still has her Bianca fire - spraying Katie with the hose? Win~ I liked seeing her explore the college application process. I hope in the end she chooses to try for college.

I also liked the Simpson/Bianca scene a lot. It reminded me of how Simpson rooted for Sean back in the day. It would be cool if this is explored more.

Simon Spier

Can I be added please?

Lady Azura

^ Sure thing!

Agreed. I mean, she's definitely changed, especially when you compare her to what she was like in the Boiling Point, but she's still very Bianca. I like that she hasn't become unrecognizable or anything, which I was kind of worried about for a while.

I hope so too!

It was a really nice scene, wasn't it?

Simon Spier

I totally agree! I love that she is trying to change but she is still Bianca

Here be some Hollaback Girl (Part 2) photos...









So... looks like Bianca and Mama Torres are gonna have a heart-to-heart. I AM EXCITE.
