How It All Goes Down
Tiresias in Love
- Calliope goes to visit the Object at her house and meets the Object's brother, Jerome, for the first time. What, no nickname for him?
- Jerome is an aspiring filmmaker, working on a film titled Vampires in Prep School. He is decades ahead of Stephenie Meyer.
- During a conversation in which the Object is basically making fun of Calliope for being a Never Nude, the Object tells Cal, "You're my best friend" (3.8.150). Aww…
- Meanwhile, Calliope prays at church to receive her period.
- Since God ain't answering that prayer though, Calliope decides to just fake her period instead.
- On the day she fakes her first period, a new war breaks out in Greece, canceling the family's vacation plans to travel there.
