Now, Jaime is driving Becca to school as Becca eats a Pop-Tart and listens to her iPod. Jaime insists that the Pop-Tart isn't "real food," and Becca snorts back that Jaime isn't a "real mom." So that's...reflexively hostile. The best part of this scene is that, as noted by one of the EEFPs, they didn't bother to reshoot the exterior of the school after they decided Becca shouldn't be deaf anymore or played by Mae Whitman anymore, so when they pull up to the school, there's still a big sign that says "DEAF." Decidedly non-deaf Becca snots that Dad didn't try to "control" her, and Jaime exposits that Dad dumped Becca with Jaime, and Becca can try returning to him anytime she wants. Jaime's lipstick is a distractingly inappropriate shade of pink here; she looks like she's been making out with Hello Kitty. Jaime and Becca bark at each other a little more, and Becca bails out of the car. Jaime shakes her head, like, "How am I related to THAT?"
And then we're in a classroom where a guy working a super-casual professorial vibe is lecturing about plastic surgery and showing some only semi-grisly slides. They include a facial reconstruction, a prosthetic leg, and a set of quite ginormous boobs. "For some women, bigger is better," the professor smarms, which provokes scattered fratty hooting, and then Jaime comes in the side door to listen. Professor Linen-y Jacket is talking about people "altering themselves" and whatnot, and Jaime sits and watches him adoringly. She does have some nice blue eyes. The bell rings, which...what college has a bell? Hello, tenured faculty don't take orders from loud noises like they're Von Trapp children.
