It is clear she finds his presence unsettling as she prepares for her initiation into his educational realm. CUT TO TITLEUpon meeting Terry in his classroom later, Jill reluctantly convenes to depart with him afterschool. Terry, occupied with final tasks, attempts to engage in light conversation with Jill.
Despite his efforts, she remains unresponsive, leading Terry to grow agitated and confrontational, accusing her of impoliteness. Stirred, Jill candidly expresses her disdain for him, mentioning his inappropriate behavior over the course of years. Enraged by her defiance, Terry threatens to abuse his authority to sabotage her final year unless she consents to advancements of a sexual nature as leverage.
