Ok, now what was up with THAT underage storyline? Isn't that enough with the grown men banging the young girls? Nope, let's add in just one more pedophile storyline, just for fun. Is CaraLynn hot for this guy or is he hot for her? I get major vibes that he is having "impure thoughts" about CaraLynn. She seems kinda into him also. Did she really need to talk to someone or was she just playing a game to get to his home? Where is this plot going?

Uh, if CL wanted to just talk, she could have called or e-mailed him. But since she found his address (via google); I think she was looking for more than just a chat & calculus training. I wonder if Niki knows just where she is? I seriously doubt it. She's too busy scheming a wedding.

I find it hard to believe that we're supposed to believe that Nicki is micromanaging Cara Lynn's life, but doesn't notice that she's gone late at night?

I'm also annoyed that they've created this new storyline with CL and teacher. Don't we have enough storylines that need to be neatly tied up? We don't need another one.

I suspect that Nicky thinks that CaraLyn is with teacher but thinks she is being tutored in calculus instead of social sciences and biology. BTW, even if teacher acts on an attraction, it would not be pedophilia; that is when the younger person is preadolescent...literally a child. There is another term (also illegal, though not quite as disgusting) when the younger person is in or past puberty.

Or, maybe CL just wanted to see if her teacher could tutor her in Chemistry,

Chemistry, social sciences, biology...all the same, you know? Yes Withay, no doubt! I did notice how shocked the teacher looked when he opened the door & found CL standing outside, guarding the opened doorway while asking her questions etc; prior to letting her in. Did she have all the right reasons to be ask in or what! Real or not is left to be seen.... No doubt CL has been thru alot; and the teacher seems to be a mystery as to whether he'd act upon impulse at the right given moment. It appears that he tries to avoid any trouble coming his way; but the viewer is left w/oh my, what's he gonna do? The suspense is great in this scene.

I think CaraLynn is over dramatizing her situation to the teacher because she wants to manipulate him.

So true! Over-dramatization and manipulation-guess it's true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!

And to be the devil's advocate here, CaraLynn has been raised to believe that a marriage between a 37 year old man and a teenager is appropriate. She may be trying to take some control over which 37 year old man she ends up with. We saw what had been picked out for her before!

She may be trying to take some control over which 37 year old man she ends up with. We saw what had been picked out for her before! I totally agree. With the way CL was brought up her whole life, whole culture, it's not unusual or weird at all for a man in his 30's or older to pair up with a young teenage girl. Her teacher looks like a clean-cut Ken doll, but he's a pretty attractive guy, nice to her, respects her intellect, encourages her, shows concern...in CL's eyes, he's probably a really good catch. Definitely better than being a plow horse and bed-warmer for some grizzled old man like Roman or Frank, which is how it could have ended up. That guy they tried to seal her to was so creepy and horrible. For the teacher...the vibe I get from him is that yes, he sees CL as a pretty young girl, but he probably has a lot of pretty young girls in his classes. I think he sees her as vulnerable and in trouble, and really smart with a lot of potential -- which is why he's given her all the special attention and tutoring. I think he finds her attractive, but that he also realizes she is jailbait and that he needs to keep her at arm's length. I don't think he's a pedophile or is actively pursuing her. He declined to discuss his personal life with her, and tried to discourage her from coming in to his house until she said she wanted to "fly away" -- indicating she was going to run away or maybe even commit suicide to get away from her messed up family. The writers have strongly indicated he is a clean-cut Mormon man -- he is devoted to and close to his parents, he wouldn't live with a girlfriend before marriage, etc. But I can see his resolve weakening if CL throws herself at him hard enough -- not an excuse, he is the adult and should resist no matter what, but I can see the story going that way.

This will probably sound weird, but is he still a virgin at 37? When he said that he wouldn't move in with a girlfriend until married, he said that "somethings are worth waiting for."
I can't imagine that a male teacher as cute as he is hasn't already had students (and their mothers!) throwing themselves at him already.

Cara Lynn is manipulating the pants off of this sweet guy. I honestly feel sorry for him because he seems to care for her an awful lot. I'm interested to see how this plays out. Especially if Nikki catches wind of it.

Based upon what he said & the way in which he said it, I would think that the answer to your question is yes . But then again, this is BL, go figure! ;D
