Every TV show has a bottle episode at some point and this is the one for Class. The episode is set mainly inside a classroom with Miss Quill locking everyone inside for detention. Inside the classroom is a rock containing an alien entity which forces confessions out of the main cast. This acts as a means for them to work through some of their issues.
Some of those personal issues are ones that we, the audience, were already aware of. We already knew to some extent that Matteusz felt scared of Charlie's alien nature. We have also known that Tanya feels like the others were treating her differently. It was a nice change though for the sports jock to b the one who wanted a committed relationship and felt unsure that the nice girl felt the same way. It's usually the other way around.
The episode ends on a fascinating note with a longer haired Miss Quill free after having the arn in her head removed. This plot thread has certainly escalated more quickly than I was expecting. By the time that Spike had the chip taken out of his head in Buffy, he had already changed enough that he no longer wanted to kill humans. This is still only the first series of Class and it's hard to see how Quill can be anything but a villain at this stage. Perhaos the next episode will shed some more light on her nature. With all of the cast split apart by their arguments how will things change?
This is a decent enough episode, although not as exciting as the plot developments it promises for later episodes. It has done a good job of making viewers intrigued for what happens next.
6/10
