Power Trip
SCENE BEGINS with Jill (Kiarra Kai) seated solo in the front passenger seat of a stationary vehicle. She portrays an image of unease, her expression filled with trepidation. Her stepfather Terry (Derrick Pierce) swings open the car door and eases himself into the driver's seat.
He flashes a wide grin at her and she reciprocates, but her smile is clearly forced and strained. It is evident that she is unnerved by him. It's Jill's inaugural day at Terry's educational institution, where he'll be instructing her for the first time.
She appears far from thrilled about this. CUT TO TITLE Later that day, Jill grudgingly rendezvous with Terry in his classroom to hitch a ride home from the school. As Terry settles at his desk, winding down some work before they depart, he attempts to engage Jill in casual conversation.
But when she disregards him, Terry morphs into a state of irritation and petulance, accusing her of being discourteous. Jill retaliates, informing him that she has been deliberately steering clear of him for years due to his touchy-feely demeanor and archaic, chauvinistic mindset. This only infuriates Terry further, and he strikes back, menacing to abuse his authority at the school to sabotage Jill's final year unless she yields to his sexual demands.
Jill appears reluctant and hesitant, but eventually concedes. Terry appears to be on quite a power binge.
