Key Lines from Episode 1

“Dad, help me! They cornered me in the bathroom and tried to rip my clothes off!”
Evelyn Blackwood · Evelyn calls Roman in sheer terror from the school bathroom during the assault.

“Father, why are you even here? We only wanted to scare Evelyn a little. Did she really have to run to you?”
Nolan · Nolan questions Roman right after Roman walks in and discovers Evelyn on the floor.

“Never actually let anything happen to her? Would it only count as serious once she was stripped naked?”
Roman Blackwood · Roman snaps back when his adopted sons try to excuse their abusive actions.

“Father, don't get angry yet. Lily just accidentally spilled coffee on Evelyn's shoes. Evelyn started yelling at her. That was completely out of line. As her brothers, it's our job to teach her some tolerance. We only asked a few students to play a little prank on her, just to make sure she learned her lesson.”
Adrian · Adrian steps forward to justify hiring students to attack his own sister.

How Episode 1 Ends

Will Roman punish his adopted sons for turning on Evelyn, or will the brothers continue to protect Lily at their sister's expense?
