The butterflies are like three feet tall, this is an understandable mistake

Gil Thorp, 11/4/21

The ... B? C? ... plot of the fall Gil Thorp storyline is that star running back Chance Macy isn't really interested in the enticements of the many colleges trying to recruit him, which is definitely perplexing everyone around him, including Boyd, who graciously offers to YouTube-hypnotize Chance with a little flashlight into making him want a full college scholarship and also a debilitating series of concussions, but Chance values his free will just a little too much. Meanwhile, it turns out that the faculty member buying into Boyd's hypnosis theories is the one you'd least expect: Coach Mrs. Coach Thorp, who's attempting to plant post-hypnotic suggestions into Kiana so that whenever she sees an opponent with a ball in their hands, she'll fly into a murderous rage and do anything to get it back. Will that actually be helpful for winning volleyball games? Ultimately that's for the referee to decide, but it seems worth a shot.
