(Record on September 9th, 2023) We’re back this week with episode thirteen of My So-Called Life, “Pressure.” You may recall where we left off with the last episode; Jordan coming to a sudden realization that he should hold hands with Angela. Well, this relationship has accelerated at record speed. Jordan’s letting Angela drive his car—maybe he thinks that teaching her how to drive stick will subconsciously make her want to have sex with him. Jordan’s got two tickets to Pound Town but Angela isn’t sure she wants to join him. She seeks counsel in a few people: Sharon, who brings over her parents' instructional “intimacy” VHS, a tape so unsexy they could show it on ABC in 1994; and Rickie, who tells her that her first time should be like a miracle and not with someone who has been held back twice and cant read (kidding, he only said the first part). After Angela backs out of having sex with Jordan at an abandoned house (the miracle here would be not rolling over on to a rusty nail) we learn that his other philosophy in life is POGO—put out or get out. Hallie’s back and this time we meet her fiancé, Brad, who may or may not think that Graham is letting his 15 year old daughter date an adult. Hallie wants to open a restaurant with Graham as the chef (may we remind you: no credentials). Of course when Graham tells Patty she’s not excited and the cycle of their miserable marriage continues! George has a lot to say about Cynthia Hargrove, resident baddie at Liberty High. Meaghan isn’t quite sure what interests Jordan about Angela so much anyways. And as delicately as possible we try to figure out how far these two had gotten before the "going all the way" question was posed. Was it over or under the pants stuff?
