‘Tell Me Lies’ Star Cat Missal on That Nerve-Racking Photo Exhibit and Bree’s Love Triangle: ‘She’s Kind of a Villain In My Eyes’

Key Highlights

• We’ve watched as she befriended — then promptly blew up at — 17-year-old freshman Amanda (Iris Apatow) whom Bree suspected was sleeping with Baird professor (and Bree’s Season 2 love interest) Oliver (Tom Ellis), whose house she later showed up to after a few hours of Valentine’s Day frat party drinking.
• But instead of finding Oliver there, Bree broke down into sobs on the shoulder of Oliver’s wife and fellow Baird professor, Marianne (Gabriella Pession) — all while still donning her Goth attire.
• (For the record, Missal is definitely aware of how unprofessional all these student-teacher relationships are: “Marianne should be embarrassed about the way that she acts and interacts with the students,” they tell Variety.
• “It’s just all so convoluted.”) Popular on Variety In a rare yet welcome reprieve from Bree’s more distressing plot points this season, we’ve gotten to watch a romance blossom between her and Wrigley (Spencer House) — though that too becomes all the less sweet when you’re forced to remember that Bree is dating Evan (Branden Cook), while Wrigley is still with her best friend and roommate, Pippa (Sonia Mena).
• Now, in Season 3’s seventh episode, Bree finds herself at the center of the drama once again; Evan, desperate to hold on to her, sabotages the evening by getting her mom (whom she’s never really known) drunk ahead of Bree’s photography exhibit, turning what should’ve been a celebratory night into a chaotic one.
