Benny Scanlon arrives at Yates and makes fast friends with Carmen at Orientation. Will Benny and Carmen be more than friends? Or will the fact that he’s totally… you know… get in the way? His sister Grace hooks him up with unflavored vodka for his pregame, while her boyfriend, Peter, imparts sage senior bro wisdom: get laid day one or suffer the consequences. The stakes couldn’t be higher tbh.

Benny gets noticed by a secret society and will stop at nothing to get his bestie / security blanket, Carmen, the same attention. Lucky for them, it’s alumni tailgate weekend so she gets to show off her legendary drinking prowess. Peter gets some sobering news from a coked out “brother” and Grace reconnects with Mimi, who is back from her semester abroad. What sport is this tailgate for again?

Benny gets caught in a lie so our main besties are in a fight. That won’t stop Carmen from basking in her new legend status from the tailgate. While Grace works the Charli xcx concert, Peter hazes the F&G male pledges. Meanwhile, Carmen is psychologically tortured alongside the female pledges. :/ Oh! And the episode ends with “party 4 u”!
