This ending is an insane amount of perfection on how prosecution doesn't work in the US. Two people besides the main crime are up. A teenage boy who is a brilliant student but is bullied so hard he teaches himself how to make free extasy just so he can give it away and maybe people will stop hassling him. His parents are AWOL most of the time and he's by himself. The other is a school principal who install cameras in the bathroom. It keeps his bathrooms clean and he spies on people using that information against them.
Yet at the end of the episode they're going to "go light" on the student and let the principal go "because there might not be a case there". Seriously? The dude who put cameras in the bathrooms of a high school to spy on his students somehow might not survive trial but the A student who was bullied and made a bad decision that's a case we can win. It's disgusting. This is social narrative because this isn't a central plotline this is a throwaway. You aren't supposed to even really think about it because let's get real it's just cameras in the bathroom and it's not like he was selling porno tapes of the students. He is the principal and he does keep his school in order Plus a Schedule 1 drug is a big deal and.. if you haven't raged at that last three sentences that's exactly my point.
