Love on the Brain

Bee reflects on how disasters come in threes, remembering Curie experiencing a triple blow of declining health after decades of exposure to polonium; receiving a rejection from the French Academy of Sciences despite having won two Nobel Prizes by that time; and having her love letters stolen and sold to the French media, which earned her unfair abuse and condemnation. Bee, herself, also experiences a triple disaster.

The first is when Bee notices her Twitter notifications blowing up and discovers screenshots of a private conversation between @WhatWouldMarieDo and STC, offering to support the GRE publicly in return for money. The official at STC has been publicly sharing these screenshots to declare that this is @WhatWouldMarieDo’s true agenda, which has been earning the account immense backlash. Bee believes this is Photoshopped, and immediately messages Schmac.

The second is when an angry Rocío confides in Bee that Kaylee is dejected, because all their work towards #FairGraduateAdmissions has now gone to waste because of the debacle involving @WhatWouldMarieDo. Rocío reveals that STC has even provided proof that these conversations did actually happen. She notices Bee twisting her grandmother’s ring on her finger in distress and tells Bee that she should stop wearing the ring; Rocío spent a considerable amount of time arguing with Guy the previous day about Bee’s marital status.
