Cassandra got absolutely laid into Kaylynn while Don watched on...rather turned on by the entire situation. He would have preferred mud though.
More under the cut
Fuelled by her fury, Cassandra won the fight. Don was now slightly scared, but still turned on.
You know what's a boner kill though? Divorce and the prospect of a divorced sad man apartment block.
Cassandra's bff, Mary-Sue was on hand to pick up the pieces and tell Cassandra that Don is shit.
Cassandra got a rather unexpected (girl really?) surprise in the middle of the night.
She sacked Kaylynn to cheer herself up.
Mortimer woohoo'd Dina and accidentally poisoned himself in that order.
Mortimer didn't have time for the shits, as it was Alexander's birthday! Remember him? He got an A+.
Sensible Xander decided to follow the knowledge aspiration. Perhaps he could share the knowledge of why his face looks better than expected. Dr Vu? What do you have to say for yourself? Worth it.
Cassandra took Xander to the pet store for his birthday treat. He adopted a lovely Kerry Blue Terrier that he named Willow, while Cassandra fell for Moon the cat.
They also took the opportunity to make some friends while they were out and about. Alexander met Ricky Cormier while Cassandra met...Trashleen.
Upon their return, they were greeted by yet another family member! Give a lukewarm welcome to Myrtle Goth!
Cassandra didn't give herself enough time off, so naturally she made one bad decision and got demoted.
Apparently that meant it was a perfect time to get back on the horse...or well...yeah.
WAS THAT A EUPHEMISM?
Poor Xander was left holding the baby and surviving on meal shakes.
Not wanting to become a Reddit sibling used as an unpaid nanny, Xander invited Ricky over to play video games in the attic. They played TS3, which I find quite disturbing. Did they feel like those influencers bribed by high spec PCs and a copy of InZOI? Who can say?
What they could say was that neither was buying the others feigned 'boobs are cool and shit' act. That little yellow lightning bolt says it all, boys.
Soon it was time for Ricky to go to work, and Xander was left flustered...was it those high waisted cargo pants? surely someone must like them. Personally, I think they're foul. Polo shirts should also be banned.
Let's leave Xander's feelings to one side for now, shall we? It was Myrtle's birthday. Yes, the bebe!
Bored, Xander invited Ricky over to see his newly converted attic room (because Myrtle kicked him out of his room).
Bebe Xander is growing up so fast. Cassandra is a mother (and got promoted again), and Mortimer is a fucking hazard to himself! The Calientes are up next, so that will probably continue...
Since Isabella and Samuel have rather jumped the gun when it comes to intimacy, I decided it was way past time to send them on a first date. (There seems to be a craze amongst the Random Dormies for grey hoodies and black leather jackets.)
Serial monogamist Isabella takes matters into her own hands once again!
Who could resist such pretty brown eyes?
Or a ring in their favourite colour?
Not Samuel it seems!
Elsewhere in the club...
...Ricky Cormier and Meadow Thayer - with their matching noses - are having their first kiss.
Bless!
And back at Pemberley, Esther and Eleanor are getting to know each other better too.
The Swains are next, except they were actually played first and I'm posting out of order, oops. Stella and Thor are alone in the big house with the bigger garden except for Chassis the cat, who was adopted at the end-ish of last round.
Thor doesn't have great grades, but he doesn't mind, as all he ever thinks about is a cozy future with a spouse and plenty of kids to give him lots of grandchildren...so he wants to find that spouse as soon as possible, because it takes a while to get to the grandchildren!
Also last round, Stella went on a date with gearhead Clarence Philippine (whose name I had to triple-check because I've been calling him Clarence Philippe for years, my bad), but she didn't roll any want for him afterward. They tried another date, but he clearly isn't invested either. So Stella picks up the most interesting professor around.
They don't go upstairs for karaoke, but fortunately many other patrons do, and it's glorious. :D
Flora has grown into a sweet girl. Her aspiration is Wealth and, what a coincidence, she get the Ambitious trait. Apparently life in a poor family got her.
