I didn't like it as much as the first episode. Too much teen angst, which is something I don't enjoy anymore. I was also a bit grossed out by the "Carpatian" plot. Was it supposed to be Romania? I think they were talking in Romanian, (I can be wrong) but omg, it was like some cheesy old film or a collection of clichés about Eastern Europe. Hope the next episode feels a bit smarter because it's got a lot of potential.

Did anyone else think the Eastern European woman was La Toya Jackson at first glance?
