Girl Rules EP 5 - UNCUT

Listen if it was me, I'd stop chasing after Gorya. She runs so hot/cold with Sha. She wanted the "friends with benefits" but acts jealous anytime Sha is around another girl. She makes a face when Sha calls her a friend, then acts salty when she refers to her as her stylist. I'd back off and let her come to me instead. Sha may need to work on her delivery with Gorya but I don't find fault with her about anything.

Episode 5 „Past Girl“ starts with the opposite of how episode 4 ended: with Bambi and Prim breaking up in the past, and on Bambi’s birthday where Prim arrived late at close to midnight from university because she took part in a project that is running late. She knows how much work matters for her – but what about herself, Bambi argued, does she mean anything to her? She wants to be her priority, the first thing that she thinks of. Prim said she’s sorry and it won’t happen again, but Bambi argues that it will, and she see that she’s trying – but not enough for her. She calls herself self-centered and thought it would never work out. She left her stating that she didn’t want to be her burden anymore, wishing her success in everything she’s been working for, and that one day, when they’re both ready, they can get back together. After the credits, Prim and Bambi are back together, and they’re celebrating in the club dancing, drinking and kissing. Min talks to Ant who claims she set up a couple in the bar, as Prim and Bambi arrive ordering drinks with sexual connotations (“Sex on Fire”, “Kiss me more”) – and Ant first makes sure that they are actually talking about the drinks. Min is teasing Prim, but Ant tells her to stop, and argues she was been of and off with her own girlfriend, but now, they’re getting married. She claims that sometimes, one needs to spend time apart to know how one really feels, and mandates that Bambi and Prim’s reunion should better sick until death – but Prim doesn’t want death to be mentioned. She joins Bambi in the restroom and calls Min a straight girl switching teams, but Min surely will not to go back to her ex. Ant tells Min to go easy on Prim, then wants to talk about her. She knows what Praew and she did in her back the other day, and wants her to pay for the drinks they made. Min claims ignorance just as Praew shows up to take photos of Min and Ant. Min looks great, she argues, and Ant does, too, but not as good a Min, she argues. Shasha is shooting a spot for a beauty product, with Gorya as her stylist. She drags her into the changing tent, asking if she wants to thank her for helping her getting a high-paying job like this, but Gorya argues that the client chose her. But Shasha claims it was on her request, and she also asked for a raise. Gorya states that she didn’t want her to do that, and argues she’s getting hooked on her, but Shasha claims that she can’t help it and starts to disrobe her. But Gorya reminds of their rules: no “doing it” in a public place, and asks her to be professional and separate work from play. Shasha then invites her to a concert, and Gorya promises to think about it as she leaves the tent. Min takes Praew home and Praew want to invite her, but fears her flat mate Boon will be home. Min says it’s fine, she has something else to do anyway. Praew kiss her on the cheek, and Min reminds her that she can do this in the car, but not in public. She then pleads with her to kiss her back, and Min eventually does it, before they say goodbye. Upstairs, Boon asks her if Min and her are dating, and she denies it, but it’s getting close, she argues. Boon cautions her that Min might see her as a phase, as she is a straight woman who just got out of a relationship, and might be looking for new challenges, and in the end, she argues, that she will go back to dating men. Boon asks her if she thinks she will stay with her – and wants her to rather date a lesbian – like herself. But Praew rejects her advance claiming that she can’t move on from Min. Then, Bambi and Prim are trying Badminton as a couple activity; Prim argues she is too dressed up to play sports, but Bambi disagrees claiming she uses every chance to dress up. Bambi has played in ages, but Prim argues the exercise will boost her endorphins, but Prim argues that since they got back together, her endorphin level is already skyrocketing. Prim wants to know if she can beat her as a former top athlete in high school. And Bambi can hold her own, though Prim might have gone easy on her. Afterwards, Prim asks her what she wants to do: go to rooftop restaurant, or visit a spa, but Bambi argues that those things she can buy for herself – but she wants to sleep over at Prim’s place and spend time with her like when they were in college. Prim reminds her that back in college the owner of the flat always overcharged them for the electricity bill, and claims she never missed that. But Bambi argues that they had many good memories there, and Prim misses the time they blew out birthday candles in the bathtub. And they both want to eat cake. 😊 Gorya leaves Shasha’s place for work early in the morning, and Shasha reminds her of their concert date that evening. But Gorya remembers the concert date. Then, Shasha wants to hold her and just hugs her (which Gorya clearly finds uncomfortable) but Woon, her manager interrupts then and claims she has a fitting for fashion week – which Shasha totally forgot, and rushes into the shower. Woon tells Gorya that she knows Shasha well, and she never will get serious with her – all her exes are celebrities and models. But Gorya is not that into her, she claims, and she knows what she’s doing. Then, she leaves just as Shasha comes down again, and Woon asks her to not hang out with someone who distracts her from her work again. But she claims she just forgot the fitting and it has nothing to do with Gorya. Praew sells her first art piece, and Min is with her. The buyer wants to hire her for photo work as well, so they exchange numbers, and Min makes a photo of the handover. Praew thanks Min for helping, but Min claims it’s all because of her work. She helped a little to get the ball rolling but more sales will surely follow. And Praew thinks that good because she needs the money for a new apartment, because Boon confessed her feelings to her. She rejected her, and now, she wants to move out, and Min understand her, because Praew just doesn’t feel the same way. Praew is sad to lose a long-time friend like this, but Min argues that their friendship just needs clear boundaries: don’t lead her on that they can be more than friends. Praew points out the irony in Min’s statement and tells her to follow that advice herself, but she is just teasing her, she claims and Min wants to help her find a condo, but first celebrate her first sale, and they hold hands as they leave. Bambi is at Prim’ to let her check her leg which is not fully healed, Prim argues, so they shouldn’t have played Badminton, but Bambi claims it doesn’t hurt anymore, and just wanted Prim to take of her. She claims that if she knew getting back together would be this good, she would have done it a long time ago. Prim asks if she’s willing to get hurt just to have her back, and Bambi is willing to do more than that. But Prim argues that needn’t do anything, she take care of her anyway – which leads Bambi to argue that if she came back too late, she would regret it for the rest of her life. Prim just finds her adorable, as Min comes home, and sees she interrupting something, but Bambi needs to go anyway, and declines Prim’s offer to drive her. Min argues that Prim is taking such good care of her “chick” that she will laugh at her if the chick grows up to bite her. But Prim claims to just take care of her injured leg. Then, Min proposes to go to a concert that evening, claiming a client hired them to shoot a music video and gave them free tickets. Prim agrees to it but wants another ticket for Bambi, and then scold her for constantly teasing her about Bambi when she never did the same to her about Praew. She should be wary as a lesbian newbie because pretty girls “switching teams” are rare, and she seems to be really into her – but doesn’t want to be just her experiment, she thinks. She claims not to mind it because she like her, too, but argues that she has her own process. And Prim thinks she enjoys it to play with the hearts of lesbians. At the concert, Gorya stands annoyed as Shasha keeps taking photos with fans. Shasha argues that if she want to date her, she needs to get used to fans approaching her. But Gorya doesn’t want to date her, she points out, and admits that she doesn’t understand her and has never experienced anything like this. She want to say something to that, but is interrupted by Bambi and Prim who arrive, and Bambi claims that Shasha and Gorya are looking like a couple. But Shasha argues that they are just friends, with Bambi maintaining that they look good together. But Gorya claims that Bambi doesn’t need to set her up with anyone, she can find her own girlfriend. Min get asked out by a woman at the bar, but claims she already has a girlfriend, then calls Praew her girlfriend as she arrives, and kissed her on the cheek when the woman still thinks that they look more like sisters. Praew asks what this was all about, calling her girlfriend and kissing her, but Min claims to was just to get rid of the woman. Praew proposes to date for real that she wouldn’t have to lie, and claims that this hurts her reputation and Min needs to take responsibility for it. In the bathroom, Bambi calls for a truce with Gorya, as they now have different targets, but Gorya claims she doesn’t have a target, she claims, and thinks Bambi is constantly provoking her. Gorya suspects she feels insecure that Prim might be swayed, but Bambi clams no to be messing with her and wants to be her friend, because she likes her as she’s quite a fighter. But Gorya argues that if she was a fighter, she would have hit her a long time ago. Bambi want her to give it try, but then claims she was just kidding. Then, she claims that Shasha and Gorya are a nice couple, but warns her the Shasha is the same as her, she likes to play games, and likes a challenge but will pull away when the prey falls for her. Praew is unhappy what Min calls this a work date, and agues that Prim/Bambi and Shasha/Gorya are definitely on a date, but Min claims she’s imagining things. Praew maintain that because Min called her girlfriend earlier on she has to be her girlfriend at least for that night, but Min just shakes her head and smiles. Gorya and Shasha stand next to each other as Krystal aka Kris (played by Emi, of course) comes of stage and starts the concert by claiming that she saw many familia faces today, then claims the first means a lot to her and to someone special – and she starts to sing “More than words”. 😉As the song is playing, Bambi and Prim snuggle up while Shasha keeps looking at Gorya who keeps her distance, and Min and Praew are holding hands. After the concert, Bambi and Prim are dancing together, Prim thinks she’ll be making a sapphic music video, and Bambi thinks it will go great because she so talented. Prim thinks this is too much praise but Bambi argues whom else should she compliment. Someone is taking photos of them and Bambi argues that she needs to get used to it, because she and Shasha are popular. But Prim wants her to stop comparing her to Shasha because she is not in the same league as an international model. But Bambi think they are both similar – pretty, talented and confident – and should be friends. Prim tells her to stop pushing this issue so hard, but Bambi claims she just wants everybody to get alone, which prompt Prim to tell her to practice what she preaches, and point to Gorya, and claims not to remember when she was not nice to her, but Prim maintains that it was all the time. Shasha talks to Kris, and claims of course she had to come, as she was the muse for her first album. Kris claims that she’s single now and doesn’t need a muse anymore, then asks Shasha if she got any fun stories she can turn into a song. Then, she want to know who Gorya is – her girlfriend. But Shasha calls her “stylist”, and Kris wants to know who Shasha’s next girlfriend will be, but Shasha claims it will be hard to find one, because Kris set the bar really high, and as Shasha promises to visit her at her place some time, Gorya has enough and tells her that she’s leaving. But Shasha follows her, but Gorya lies that no one talked to her about her, then claims they’re not compatible with each other, and call their “friends with benefits” deal off. Shasha claims that it was her idea, but Gorya claims that she was wrong, but now has come to her senses. Then, she dodges numerous attempts from Shasha to keep her there, gets in the car and leaves – warning not to hold her back again, or her anger will turn into hatred. Outside the bar, Min wants to take Praew home but she doesn’t want the date to end – which gets Min to finally accept that this is a date, and they leave hind in hand. Prim carries Bambi home, but she just pretends to be drunk, and actually gets seductive as soon as they are in her room. Prim doesn’t want to think about the past anymore that Bambi keeps reminding her of, because she was too focused on work back then, and she is a new person now and can balance work and private life now. But Bambi argues that she was unreasonable and wanted things to go her way. But Prim wants them to focus on the present, and her future, and argues she can’t be happy if Bambi is not in it. Then, they kiss each other and fall into bed – and that’s a good way to start our two-week break. ___ Well, the show continues to be only vaguely inspired by the novel as most of the plot points of the episode didn’t happen on paper. But It was a fun episode which only slightly moved things further – but Emi serenading “Mord that words to Milk was gold. 😊Prim obviously tries to treat Bambi with extra care, but I think there are rougher waters ahead. Praew and Min continued their courting dance, and it gives me slight pause that Min apparently still thinks of them as an experiment. Shasha and Gorya hit rock bottom after Gorya was unwilling to accept that she jealous about Shasha because she fears that Shasha is not the type to commit to anything – which Shasha herself claims to her own detriment. We shall see how this mess will continue in two weeks after Songkran next week.
