Volume 2
Kristen Stewart: An Exhaustive Examination
Episode 9: In The Land of Women (2007)
Lucy is a disaffected moody Michigan youth, who lives with her mom and dad and younger sister in the suburbs. One day, while smoking on the roof, she spots some goober who is new to town comically struggling to take out the garbage across the street. After meeting, Lucy confides in the sad older boy that her parents didn’t know she smokes and that he must keep it a secret. He agrees after bumming a smoke.
The next day, Lucy argues with her mom over a proposal to invite the new guy over for dinner, as her mom wants to welcome him to the neighborhood. Complicating the situation is her mother’s recent breast cancer diagnosis, which has strained the whole family’s emotional health and none of them are really talking about it.
Lucy finally agrees to show the new guy – who is like a sad puppy and taking care of his ill grandmother – around town. Naturally, they – along with her kid sister – go to the mall to bum around and eat junk food and watch movies starring leggy bombshells from the future. Also, there’s some dude who works at Orange Julius who Lucy likes, but is too reserved to express it.
Lucy and the sad older boy develop a sister/older brother brother vibe, as she seeks guidance on how to navigate her mother’s illness, hey father’s infidelity, and her complicated teen feelings about boys and life and stuff. After an uncomfortable talk about her past and her current problems of bring emotionally unavailable for her family, a flustered and mixed up Lucy kisses the older sad boy, which is a terrible idea. He leaves, saying there can never be anything between them, and Lucy is left rudderless and confused.
Lucy is later finally able to talk with her mom about everything that’s been going on and her fears of losing her. Fortunately, Lucy’s mom recovers and all is well. Lucy even mends fences with sad old boy, coming to understand that they are world’s apart and can never be romantic. Oh also, she finally hooks up with Orange Julius dude from the mall.

Kristen Stewart: An Exhaustive Examination
Episode 8: The Messengers (2007)
Jess is the troubled and moody eldest daughter of the Solomon family, who has relocated to the country from the big windy city. As they settle into their new home – a totally not haunted house – in farmland, North Dakota, Jess heads onto town to get acquainted with the locals. After chatting up the worst basketball player in the community, Jess returns home and helps her mom move some boxes into the basement. There, she finds an old necklace and a spooky raven, which flies away to join its flock surrounding the house.
One night while babysitting her kid brother, Jess is haunted by visions of the house being destroyed. She’s rescued by a recently hired farm hand, but when she tries to show him what happened, the house is totally normal. As Jess’ haunting continues, her family begins to question her sanity and well being. We soon learn that Jess has a troubled past that includes a drunk driving accident that injured her brother, leading her parents to no longer trust her. This mistrust toward Jess ends in near disaster, as her warnings go unheeded until her parents are also haunted and nearly killed by the farm hand who is actually a dude who killed his family in the very same house five years prior! He had amnesia or something, but getting almost murdered by ravens triggered him. Jess and family fight him off – with a little help from his ghost family – and the murder man farm hand is sucked into the cellar floor. Jess and her family – now free of the spirits – happily harvest their crop of sunflowers in peace.

Gina – a vivid dreamer – has been blind since a childhood car accident. She lives in Bangkok, Thailand, with her husband, who helps her navigate the city when needed. One day, during a visit with a doctor, Gina learns of a procedure that could help restore her vision. A few weeks later, Gina has the surgery and is thrilled to be able to see for the first time in her adult life. As she embraces the pleasures of sight, her husband struggles to adapt to a life in which he’s not as in control in the relationship as he once was.
Their relationship takes a tough turn after a visit to Spain with Gina’s sister and her horny husband. Upon returning to Thailand, the whole situation gets real mysterious: IS HER HUSBAND SWAPPING OUT HER MEDICAL EYE DROPS WITH WATER TO MAKE HER GO BLIND AGAIN SO HE CAN REGAIN CONTROL OF THE RELATIONSHIP?
