Clone High – Season 1 Episode 2 “The Sleepover” Recap & Review

The Sleepover

Episode 2, titled The Sleepover, begins with Candide and Harrit inviting Joan for a night together. They plan to stay up all night and have fun. The government decides to make Joan reveal all her secrets by replacing their drinks with a truth serum. However, Joan suggests that JFK should spend the night with his male friends instead.

JFK, who has no male friends, eventually finds Confucius and decides to hang out with him that night. Meanwhile, Abe is advised by his therapist to spend time with someone every week. Since he has no one to spend the night with, he decides to hang out with Tropher Bus, a clone of Christopher Columbus.

During the girls’ night out, they play a game of “Never Have I Ever,” where they must reveal a secret and others put a finger down if they’ve done the same. Joan, having been a warrior, admits to having killed someone. Both Candide and Harrit put their fingers down, indicating that they had also killed someone.

During JFK’s night out, Confucius introduces him to Flip Flop, similar to TikTok, where JFK discovers a new world of current events, reviews, and critics. Confucius then shows him the comment section, where JFK can express himself freely. In the comment section, JFK starts arguing with Bed, unaware that they are arguing against each other. The argument escalates, with both sides using abusive language, until JFK wins the argument as Bed goes offline.

In Girls’ Night Out, the two girls press Joan to reveal her secret, but she refuses, suspecting they might be bluffing about their murder to extract information. In retaliation, the girls decide to dig up the supposed dead body, only to find it missing.

To their surprise, the person they thought they had killed appears before them, revealing that his body was also cloned. With this revelation, Joan confesses her secret: during a math lecture, she had a wet dream about having sex with Abe. The girls assure her they will keep the secret safe, and they continue to enjoy their night, ending the episode on a light note.

Episode Review

In the second episode, the series maintains its unique structure of standalone storylines, each offering a different story. This time, we’re treated to a satirical exploration of the toxic landscape of social media, where people with limited expertise freely express opinions and strive to defend them vehemently.

Moreover, the episode unveils a surprising facet of JFK’s character as he forms an unlikely friendship with Confucius. While the humor remains at a moderate level, some may find it lacking. As such, viewers looking for a deeper comedic experience might consider skipping this episode.
