Moe, Elodie, and Tabitha don't take to each other instantly, to put it lightly, but soon realize that they have far more in common than they initially thought. This, of course, is shoplifting. Of the three, we first encounter Elodie (above left, with costar Henry Zaga), who finds herself in trouble after trying to steal a Slim Jim from a convenience store.
"Shoplifting represents any of the holes we have inside of us and the emotional wounds we struggle with. For Elodie, that's definitely the grief of her mom passing away shortly before the show starts, and she's just really trying to figure out who she is in this totally new context," Meyer said. "It's a way for her to find control in a world where she has no control."
Andelson added: "She's struggling with a lot of things that people do in high school — figuring out your sexuality, finding new friends, being a fish out of water. It's definitely about control since so many things are happening to her."
