Life is Strange Before the Storm, Episode 2 part 1, Blackwell, movie / dlc film FR Episode 2 part 1, 05/08/2010. Chloe and her mother and Rachel and her parents are in Principal Wells' office, because they skipped school in previous episode (1:15). Wells accuses Chloe of various things, such as insubordination, smoking marijuana, sabotage Victoria's homework, and bullying Nathan. (3:15). Rachel tries to help Chloe by saying that the trip was her idea and by twisting the truth a little (6:11). Wells accuses Chloe of various things, such as insubordination, getting on the show stage, smoking marijuana, messing up Victoria's homework, and harassing Nathan. (3:15). (3:15) Rachel tries to help Chloe by saying that they skipping school was her idea and by twisting the truth a little (6:11). But Chloe says this is not true and does not want Rachel to take responsibility for covering for her (7:07). Wells decides that both are guilty and tells Rachel that she will not be suspended, but she will be denied the opportunity to perform in the play (8:58). To help Rachel, Chloe decides to confront Wells to change his mind and take the responsibility (10:38). As a result of this confrontation Wells decides that Chloe will be expelled from Blackwell (12:16). Chloe must empty her locker escorted by Skip Matthews (13:47). Chloe decides to tag all the toilets of the girls to leave a memory of her displeasure to Blackwell (17:06). Chloe is escorted back to the parking lot where she has to meet her mother and David (19:12), and she takes the opportunity to tag the spotlights of the show and walk around the parking lot (21:00). Chloe meets Eliot in the parking lot and discusses about her being expelled and the show (22:15). Chloe meets her mother and David and discuss about her being expelled from Blackwell (24:13).

I chose to confront Wells to cover for Rachel and take all the responsibilities because it seemed a coherent choice for several reasons: - First of all, because we know on LIS that Chloe got kicked out of Blackwell. - Chloe says that she's fed up with going to Blackwell and that she skips school. - Chloe knows that her scholarship doesn't cover everything and her mother is obliged to pay in addition to the school fees, which obviously puts her in financial difficulty because she has late payments. - Rachel has never had a problem with Blackwell unlike Chloe, so it's much easier for Chloe to take the role of scapegoat, since she feels she has nothing to lose. - Chloe and Rachel having talked about leaving town, we can assume that Chloe is covering for Rachel so that she can do her show, before they can put their plan to escape into action. -Chloe may also be trying to impress Rachel. I finally told Eliot that Chloe wouldn't go to the show with him, because I figured it was likely that Chloe would be with Rachel, so it wouldn't be very nice to tell him yes and not come, so I found the excuse she gave Eliot pretty credible.  FR J'ai choisi de confronter Wells pour couvrir Rachel et prendre toutes les responsabilités car ça me paraissait un choix cohérent pour plusieurs raisons : - Déjà car on sait dans LIS que Chloe c'est fait renvoyé de Blackwell. - Chloe dit qu'elle en a marre d'aller à Blackwell et qu'elle sèche les cours. - Chloe sait que sa bourse ne couvre pas tout et sa mère est obligé de payer en plus des frais de scolarités, ce qui la met visiblement en difficulté financière car elle a des paiements en retard. - Rachel n'a jamais eu de souci avec Blackwell contrairement à Chloe, donc c'est beaucoup plus facile pour Chloe de prendre le rôle de bouc émissaire, vu qu'elle estime qu'elle n'a rien à perdre. - Chloe et Rachel ayant parlé de quitter la ville, on peut supposer que Chloe couvre Rachel pour qu'elle puisse faire son spectacle, avant de pouvoir mettre en action leur projet de départ. -Chloe cherche aussi peut être à impressionner Rachel. J'ai finalement dit à Eliot que Chloe irait pas au spectacle avec lui, car je m'étais dit qu'il était probable que Chloe soit avec Rachel, donc ça serait pas très sympa de lui dire oui et pas venir, donc j'ai trouvé l'excuse qu'elle dit à Eliot plutôt crédible.

Chloe is Strange

Life is Strange: Chloe is a hard rocking weed smoking angry girl with blue hair and tons of tattoos who has abandonment issues and starts a relationship with her childhood best friend. She also has a perplexity to get shot and her best friend/lover has to literally rewind time to save her ass multiple times. Until she doesn’t and let’s her die for the greater good of the town. Or they ride off into the sunset together (like in my own playthrough). It’s hinted her problems lie at the death of her father, loss of contact with her best friend, her mother getting a boyfriend who is abusive towards her and living in a dead end town that is dying. She has nothing.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm: Chloe is an edgy 16 year old who puts herself in really dangerous situations because she is suicidal. Her dad died two years ago, her mom is trying her best but can’t handle her teenage daughters response to losing her father and her stable homelife. She thinks this military douche bag can help, and essentially lets him control her and her daughter. Chloe is smart but school doesn’t interest her. Despite how she makes it seem, the people around her are pretty open to being her friend but she’s kinda like nah. She’s angry and then the most popular girl in school breezes into her life and uses her to skip school. Maybe the popular girl sees something in her that she hides within herself, but she uses her for the most part. They become fast friends within like 2 days and also develop a romantic relationship. 

With this narative, we don’t really see what made Chloe so bitter in the “prequel”. We know more about Chloe’s character in Life is Strange than in Before the Storm. Using that information, we can build on what turned her this way. Another thing that probably created this change is Rachel. After manipulating various situations (faking fainting and manipulating Chloe to lie to get a wine bottle because Rachel wants to drink), (The scene with Principal Wells where Chloe gets expelled to stick up for Rachel because Rachel pouts when she can’t perform in the show), (Playing along with Victoria and making Chloe seem dumb when she tries to tell her Victoria spiked her drink),(Alternatively Rachel spikes Victoria’s drink when she gets kicked out and manipulates Chloe into talking to Victoria long enough so she doesn’t notice), (Manipulating Chloe into joining the play and that whole onstage emotional stunt),(Brings her clothing so she doesn’t go home from the Junkyard and stays with her), (Convincing Chloe to skip school when she’s on her last straw and manipulating her into playing an “acting” game when really Rachel wants to just spy on her dad), etc. 

We know Rachel ends up ditching Chloe in Life is Strange for fucking Frank. In Before the Storm (ep.2) we see that Frank hangs out with Rachel’s real mom. Could this be her reason for getting close to Frank? Like with Chloe, she needed something so she gets close to them.

Rachel is also super cryptic with the things she says “what if you’ve been acting so long you don’t know who you are” or something like that. Chloe says she has a personality, she says she’s talking about her dad (yeah okay girl). During the train ride to skipping Rachel says something like “Chloe, don’t be suprised if one day I just disappear”

So Chloe expected Rachel to just be gone one day. In Life is Strange a lot of people think she just straight up left. No one knew her real personality or a hint of it except Chloe and probably Frank. 

So question....how is all of this going to be tied up in the last episode? Will we get to see why stepdouche decides to become the security at Blackwell? Why he’s spying on his family wife and her bastard kid he hates? Did Nathan kill Samantha? Is Mr. Jefferson even around yet? We know from Drew that Nathan was taking creepy photos. Why did Chloe dye her hair blue?  How else would Chloe have gotten expelled if she didn’t stick up for Rachel? Why is Samuel so creepy? What does the raven spirit have to do with Chloe? Is everyone into drama this year and next year everyone decides to love photography? Did Frank get fucked up because Rachel also left him? Does Victoria do something to Samantha because she’s jealous she’s close to Nathan? Is that what happened to Nathan to drive him over the edge (besides, you know...his dad, being bullied, and being a horrible person)

Did Rachel really ruin everything? 

After burning down half the forest around town she also burns out the people she touches?
