"No one POV's"At Liam prodding, Normani asks Camila to dance. Camila gets swept up in the romanticism of the moment, dancing with her pretty-girl crush, while she's less enthused (she's dancing on her feet). I suppose the entire sequence is supposed to be magical and dream-like, but when everyone on the dance floor is bumbling around in a stiff, bobbing box-step, it does kind of suck the elegance out of the moment.
Not keen to watch Camila dancing with her best friend, Laure leaves the ballroom and ends up by the pool, where she takes out her frustration on the poolside furniture. At least they can't fight back. Her anger turns to wussy-boy fear when she sees a bug, and freaks out when it flies toward her. She wild swatting motions and tries to ward off the bug, jerking around in a panic.
After her dance, Camila sits out and watches Normani dance next with Liam. I'm guessing she is supposed to feel wistful that Normani dances so much more wonderfully with Liam, but as that's just not true, I'm making a guess here. Not keen to watch her crush dancing around with her lady-love, Camila wanders outside and hears a loud splash.
The next thing we know, a student bursts into the ballroom to announce that Lauren has fallen into the pool. Dude, I'm sure announcing her humiliation is ever so much more helpful than actually, yunno, helping. Dinah notes that Lauren cannot swim, and everyone stampedes outside.
When they arrive outside, Camila is dripping wet, having dragged Jun-pyo out of the pool, and shouts at her worriedly to wake up. She lies there, unmoving, so she starts performing CPR, pushing down on her chest and breathing into her mouth.
Camila sees that that her eyes have a opened and stops immediately — but she grabs her shoulder, puckers up, and tries to pull her back down toward her for a kiss. It's hilarious, because it doesn't work, and Camila punches her in the face, disgusted, thinking she was faking the entire thing. (I'm not sure how much she was faking, but I'm sure the part about her not being able to swim was real. So at least she did save her on that score.)
She storms off in a huff, but Normani is still exceedingly pleased with her one stolen "kiss."
Only, well, she doesn't exactly need the CPR. Not that she's going to tell her that, of course. Why ruin a good thing?
Her remains in a fabulous mood the next morning, even surprising her butler with his eagerness to get to school early. Lauren mangles the "early bird" adage by saying knowingly that there's a proverb about "the early bug gets dead first."
She's feeling so cheerful that when a maid spills her tea — a previously fire-able offense — she barely notices. When her butler assures her that the maid will be fired, Lauren tells him magnanimously that the household is run too strictly — loosen up!
She grins and walks off, announcing, "What great weather!" just as thunder rumbles in the distance.
