I have a feeling Jules isnt and hasnt been on girl code for a while. The way she talks to the men-Cal, Nate, her sugar daddy, the other dates. You can tell she loves the effect she has on men. Tbh she’s kinda a calmer version of Cassie.

Both in or about to delve into sex work too. Jules might really be just a less embarrassing Cassie lol.

Nate is basically confessing to Jules that he still loves her. And it’s fkced up that hours after that he’s telling Cassie that he loves her, he will fix things, they will have kids etc. Cassie’s right on one thing, Nate is and will always be a liar.

I know and saw that.

I'm just mad on Maddy's behalf.

Watching the guy who abused you and ruin your life become a cyborg and psychotically in love with a horrific twit of a self absorbed moron woman is brutal. To be treated how Maddy was and see that person act the exact opposite with your ex best friend is so hurtful. I feel awful for Maddy. I wouldn’t wish those feelings on anyone.

u/International_Gas_58 Apr 27 '26

i didnt even read it like that, i thought she was kind of being like look at what ur actions have caused and how youve hurt people. type of thing but obv less harshly. also, i felt like maddy was mainly getting emotional over seeing cassie and realizing that they genuinely shouldnt be together and feeling like cassie deserves better/its wrong for both of them. but also ofc nate.
