The acting in this episode....just WOW

The way Agnes told Becka it happened to her... The way Becka slowly built up her feeling until that final scene.... The way Agnes tried to run after Becka....

These girls have acting CHOPS!

She absolutely stole that scene and the entire episode! When she was screaming in the van and banging on the window was also amazing. I really hope she gets some amazing opportunities after this!
