Phoebe immediately heads out, and Tegan tries to go after her. She looks around for Tegan, ready to tell her how she feels … only to find Tegan making out with their mutual friend Cass ( Better Things’ Hannah Riley). The final moments are heart-wrenching: Phoebe arrives at the gig just before Tegan and Sara are set to go on. It’s clear what’s going on in her mind: Maybe she should accept that she does have feelings for Tegan instead of denying her true self.
We watch as Maya listens to a tape of Tegan performing a sad guitar ballad she wrote for Maya-”I’m so happy that we’re friends”-and realizes that shutting Tegan out was a mistake. But Sara decides to take matters into her own hands: She ditches the gig and heads to Phoebe’s house, confronting Phoebe about her summer plans and crying in her arms, frustrated that the only person she cares about is leaving her for the summer.īut it ends up being Tegan’s drama that hurts the most.
Heartbreakingly, neither sister’s crush ends up showing. Meanwhile, Maya and Tegan haven’t spoken at all. When Phoebe calls Sara to tell her that she won’t be able to go to the gig for no specific reason, Sara hangs up with tears welling in her eyes. And Maya recently told Tegan that she likes guys, not girls, despite their physical closeness suggesting otherwise. Phoebe is ghosting Sara, as she’s afraid to tell Sara she won’t be around all summer like she’d promised. It’s unclear whether Phoebe and Maya will show up for the gig, considering each pair has been on the rocks. Considering we already know how the story ends professionally-Tegan and Sara just released Crybaby, their 10th album, last Friday-the heart-wrenching “will-they-won’t-they” is where the tension lies. That includes their crushes: Phoebe (Olivia Rouyre), whom Sara likes and Maya (Amanda Fix), Tegan’s crush. They’re gearing up to play their first live performance at a house show, and they’ve invited all their friends to come. (As a twin myself, this was painfully relatable.) By the final episode, they’ve bonded over playing guitar together and writing songs. During the first half of the season, Tegan and Sara can barely stand to be in the same room they’re twin sisters trying to individuate themselves. Instead, the show builds to a finale that uses the duo’s musical talent as a backdrop for their relationships. None of this plays out on-screen during High School’s first season, however. The fumbly awkwardness of discovering they like girls, not guys, is a recurring theme throughout. Both women identify as lesbians, something they individually came to realize during their teens. High School, over the course of its recently wrapped, eight-episode first season, focused less on the duo’s blossoming music career and more on their blossoming identities.Ī large part of the book High School (a wonderful read, even if you’re not a T&S fan) involves the Quin sisters coming to terms with their sexualities. Who else was chomping at the bit to see lightly fictionalized, younger versions of these Canadian twin wunderkinds? Especially when High School aired exclusively on Freevee, Amazon’s free-with-ads streaming platform?īut anyone tuning into the half-hour dramedy expecting a narrowly focused story of how these nobodies became somebodies would be let down. This was a show made for Tegan and Sara fans.

The audience for High School, the TV adaptation of indie pop stars Tegan Quin and Sara Quin’s memoir about their teenage years, was obvious from the get-go.
