The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn a deposition, lawyers press Eduardo: has he given Facebook grounds to fire him? He says no. They produce a Crimson story that paints his Phoenix initiation as animal cruelty. His defense is farcical: the dining hall served chicken, he fed scraps to his live chicken, and woke up accused of forced cannibalism. Sean Parker's verdict is colder than the joke: necrophilia would be better press. Then Mark's exam cheating slips out anyway.
