Well, the way I interpreted this "video tape" was that she was looking around to see if anyone was coming down the hall and he was well aware there are cameras in the school (and maybe even looked at this one, if I caught that right). He's just making sure it doesn't look (to the cameras) like he's the one coming on to her (hands up, turns face away so it looks like he's trying to avoid her kissing him, etc.).
I took it this way only because of something posted upthread that indicated he's not what he seems. If that's the case, he's been getting away with it and therefore is probably smart enough to realize there are surveillance cameras in the school. And although none of us know anything for sure (unless Lilly's holdin' out on us
), if they are gonna make him a perve, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping he'd be more like someone the teen could confide in. I know that's probably not as interesting to the actor, but it would allow for the possibility of some longevity on the show. If he's a perve, he's gone in one season (although in RL, he'd probably be back out on the streets in 6 months so maybe there is a recurring role possibility here
).
And Lilly, I'm kinda with you on the manipulation. As Alle said, maybe they'll tie it together in such a way that we all go
, but right now some of the plot twists are just a little too convenient. I am enjoying the family dynamics, tho, in Bridget-upon-Siobhan. Hubby's kinda sexy, I-wear-too-much-eyeliner FBI guy is sufficiently menacing and I get a kick out of watching how SMG plays the two sisters. But Henry just annoys me for some reason, and for awhile there, Siobhan had so many flunkies who looked too similar to each other that I couldn't keep them straight.
If not for Jason, I'm not sure I'd keep watching this one. The only aspect that would possibly keep me coming back is watching Bridget try to show this family how to be human again. Man, that kid is a brat! If she were mine, at this point she'd be "grounded for life."
I thought the transition from ice-cold to loving was a little rushed and forced, but now that they're settled into the "marriage is so on again" mode, it's sweet to watch - tho I gather Siobhan is about to put a wrecking ball to it.
It's interesting because this one is a tad similar to another one I'm also watching, Revenge (on ABC) - they both have "rich people aren't what they seem" themes. Even though I think they're also using too-convenient plots, I'm still watching Revenge because the acting is so good (
looove the Nolan character!). Madeleine Stowe is just amazing, and I love seeing Emily VanCamp change her facial expression from sweet-and-innocent to raging evil revenge b*tch. On that note, VanCamp should work with Alex someday - they could both emote a whole film without saying a word.
Did anyone see the last minute?
I guess the writers really did their homework. 
The whole thing makes no sense. And I''m not saying that because I don't want
