Subtext: Maybe it just made sense, or maybe Isak is just an incredibly bad liar, trying to cover up what he did. On the other hand, Jonas love-bombed Eva in episode 6 to cover his lies, so Eva love-bombing Jonas in episode 7 means that she has something to hide, which Jonas could have figured out. But when Eva asks Isak how Jonas found out, he tries to deflect the question in numerous ways, and never actually answers her question.



Subtext: The schoolyard scene uses only body language, but still manages to convey so much, without any words. Elias is smirking as he tells Jonas that Eva just got there. Jonas doesn’t even turn to look at Eva, that’s how angry he is. And finally, Isak acknowledges Eva, but hangs is head in shame as he is torn between loyalty to his bro, and wanting to comfort Eva. And although we don’t know this yet, he also feels a lot of shame, because the whole situation is his fault.



Subtext: Vilde says that Ulla said that it was the boyfriend who told Iben, not her (Iben’s) boyfriend. Whose boyfriend told Iben again?



Subtext: Vilde is surprised that Eva and Ingrid have been friends, which means that neither Ingrid nor Sara mentioned this during the first month of school when they became friends with Vilde, before they threw her out of Pepsi-Max.

Cinematography: The whole scene with Eva coming home from school is shot like many other shots that emphasize Eva being small and alone, the house is quiet, Eva isn’t expecting her mom to be home on a weekday afternoon, but then suddenly Anne-Marit comes into view, surprising both Eva and us.



Subtext: Eva’s mom let’s us know with her dialogue that she already knows Jonas very well, but the show has been making us believe that Eva was reluctant to present Jonas to her mom because he was her first boyfriend. When the reveal comes later in the episode, it becomes obvious that Anne-Marit knows Jonas, but as her daughter’s best friend’s boyfriend.



Subtext: It’s probably not a coincidence that William’s hoodie and hair in this scene makes him look a bit like Justin Bieber, who Noora has a crush on.



Subtext: The short scene with William walking to his car manages to pack an extraordinary amount of information about his character, and the douchebaggery is completely off-the-charts.

The yellow piece of paper on his windshield is a parking ticket. Given the location of Nissen and the way his car is illegally parked, the fine is probably at least $100.



That William just grabs his parking ticket and shoves it into his jacket means that this is absolutely not the first time he’s been getting parking tickets, it’s a regular occurrence to him, he just doesn’t give a shit.

90% of Norwegian households have at least one car, but only 45% of households have at least two cars. This means that teenagers with access to a car during daytime is vanishingly small. Schools in the cities typically don’t have parking lots for the students.



On top of that, having a car of your own is extremely rare as a teenager in Norway, and we can see from the type of car he drives that he hasn’t exactly borrowed his mom’s car.

Driving age is 18 in Norway, which means that William has had his driver’s license for less than a year at this point in time.



William is driving a newer Porsche 911, which costs over $100.000, and that is not exactly the kind of cheap, used, hand-me-down car you would normally want to entrust to a teenager who just got his license.

And finally, when his car stereo comes on, it cuts into the song Lett å være rebell i kjellerleiligheten din by Karpe Diem, where the lyrics go “alle skal bli knulla” - “everyone is going to get fucked”.



All of these things together, paint the perfect picture of a spoiled asshole rich kid.



Culture: The Rad bus was an actual ‘97 girls’ bus group.



Subtext: If Eva and Jonas got together in 10th grade, but before summer, it means they got together at the end of elementary school, which means they’ve been together for about five months at this point in time.
