Nat teaches Brandon how to make a sandwich

No. Really, he does. 

In this episode, Brenda steals Brandon's car, it runs out of gas, it gets stolen for real ("probably by one of the basketball player who took my spot" - steve sanders) and then Brandon reality checks / Judges his retard sister. Brandon then realizes his true role in life, as a ballboy and tutor. He will take up this role as a college student as well. 

The early episodes really seem jumbled, and they need that oversexed teenage conflict to spice things up. So far, Brenda hasn't even met Dylan, and Kelly's insane sex addiction hasn't been played up. I feel like we are driving through the plains, sure it's beautiful for the first hour but then you realize you've been driving flats for 10 hours... and you're dying for a hill. Or some sort of illicit teacher-student affair.

Episode 5. Race in America

Some hard-hitting shit here. Things get a little racial this episode when my man, Steve, is cut from the basketball team and rages against student athletes. Sour grapes, Steve. It's not anyone's fault that student athletes have an extra muscle.
