The Girls

Julian returns from his trip with an older friend named Zav. Sasha doesn’t cook the frozen pizza well, and Julian is mean to her about it. Zav and Julian discuss strands of marijuana. Zav keeps saying that he respects Julian, which is why he doesn’t make Julian pay upfront. Zav admires Sasha’s beauty, and Julian convinces her to bare her breasts for Zav. Evie tries intervening on Sasha’s behalf, but they all ignore her. Zav touches Sasha’s breast, and Evie recalls a time when Julian was a child and kind.

The narrative flashes back to 1969. Evie helps Suzanne and Donna break into Mrs. Dutton’s house. Mrs. Dutton falls to the floor and can’t get up; because Mrs. Dutton knows her, Evie gets caught. Evie’s mother confronts her about her lies and accuses her of being pathological toward Mrs. Dutton. Frank removes Evie’s door from her bedroom, and Evie is sent to stay with her father in Palo Alto for two weeks. Evie is surprised that she and her father’s girlfriend, Tamar, strike up a friendship. Tamar is in her twenties, and she and Evie understand one another’s fashion and music tastes.
