I just love being here, in this, the next generation. Back with super young dorky awkward kids again. Before they all grew up so darn charismatic and beautiful. Let’s enjoy these moments. Here’s Liberty in a maroon tee and a ponytail. I’m noticing she wears a lot of red-related colors.

JT is wearing those clothes that imply he’s cooler than he actually is – a backwards hat, a blue tee, baggy red pants, and a man necklace.

Emma wears a half-length sleeve tee in green. I feel like these kinds of shirts must have a name but I don’t know. I had plenty. She too sports a cross body back and has her hair pinned half back. For parents night, she wears a 3/4 length sleeve tee decorated with grommets. She’s actually being kind of annoying this episode. But I don’t know, I just love her. Although I’m realizing more and more she’s a very difficult person right from the beginning. And finally, she wears a red tee with some denim overalls.

We begin a new episode with Ashley again. She wears her mushroom hair pulled half up, hoops, her cross body bag, and sports a purple sleeveless hooded top. For parents night, she’s ready to catch any and all casting agents, so she’s classed up her look. She wears her hair parted down the middle and pulled half back, hoop earrings, and a sleek outfit of all black – a turtleneck, pencil skirt, and mary janes.

And we wrap up this episode with a special appearance by Sean’s older brother Frank – oops, I mean, Tracker. Tracker is just captivating to me. He’s incredibly intimidating. I think his actor was just perfectly cast. He’s 100% believable and perfect. You know how sometimes there are actors out there who don’t even seem like actors at all? Like not the type to even be in the industry? Another example imo is Luke from DJH/DH. Well Tracker gives me that vibe (even though I know this dude is an accomplished actor). But back to the fashion – he wears a white helmet and black shirt and as ALWAYS super cool shades as he drops Sean off at school.

I still see this open shirt thing as being so normal, but now that I think about it… Do people do this still? Is this still a thing? I need to be more observant. Here’s Mr. Isaacs in what seems to be a dress button down, open to reveal a white mockneck? and dark jeans.

Toby is still serving us the drabbest of colors this episode, but peep that shot I got of his chunky shoes and those shorts that come like halfway down the calf. I miss those. Oh yeah, Toby is really excited to dial in to the net and check out some stills from Swamp Sex Robots while everyone else is at the dance.

Once again I’m shocked at discovering another parent with a first name. Y’all, this is Todd. Terri’s dad is the first dad I’ve ever seen who is excited about his girl to be “out dancing with boys”. Polar opposite of Voula’s dad – go out there and get you some, Terri! Terri’s dad is one of the more casual dads we see – he wears a flannel with rolled up sleeves. I wonder what his job is – I don’t think they ever said.

Our first episode starring Terri! Often dressing for comfort, she starts off with a white tee, blue zip up hoodie, a ponytail, and a necklace with earrings. And… wait… pajama pants? Okay so here we have Terri wearing pajama pants to school. Yes, yes, I remember this horror. I’ve pretty much always been a little shocked and put off by this since I first saw it in about 2002.

But I do want to take a moment to talk about wearing pajama pants in public. It used to be a thing, I suppose. However, obviously in high school it was banned. I think because you could easily pull them off, and everyone knows that high schoolers are only wanting to pull each other’s clothes off. Everyone could not wait to get to college because the rumor was, you can wear pajamas to class. Hell yeah! Let me state that I was never the type who longed to wear my pajamas to school. But once I got to college, I joined a sorority that also had a rule where you couldn’t wear pajamas to class. Foiled again. But the 2000s have since passed. And to be honest, I’m not even sure if people still wear pajama pants like this even in their own home anymore? Anyway, the battle for public pajamas has ended. Because we have since found a compromise – leggings or similar workout clothes in public. They’re comfortable, and if anyone asks, you ‘just came from the gym’!

But here we are, and Terri did not just come from the gym. She took the time to fix her hair, put in jewelry, but not to put on pants. And that’s just the truth.

Moving on, Paige and Ashley hot Terri up for the dance. She wears a black spaghetti strap top, a pastel piano recital chiffon pencil skirt, and platform mules, which are necessary to create a sturdy foundation for drunken legs. Her hair is also in a twisty formation. What would you call this? Similar to cornrows, but twists. Anyway, we all agree she looks fine as hell. And she gets down at the dance. However, like Stephanie Kaye, the crazy dance puts her down for the count.

The final image is reminiscent to the walk of shame. She’s back in pajamas again. Haha just kidding, all I can see is a grey zip up hoodie, and regret. And that freaking unfinished ponytail. What is it with the 2000s and wearing no color, all pajamas, and sloppy hair?

One little Spike moment – she drops Emma off at the dance in a red tank and some giant hoop earrings.
