'Deadly Class' episode 3 review: Important lessons on friendship learned in the 'Snake Pit'

Marcus said it's better to expose the ankles and see which snakes bite, Willie corrected him saying at King's Dominion "everyone bites." We beg to differ Willie.
PUBLISHED JAN 31, 2019

Last week, Willie Lewis (Luke Tennie) warned us that at King's Dominion "everyone bites." In the latest episode of Syfy's 'Deadly Class,' titled 'Snake Pit,' it wasn't the case. In fact, it was just the opposite. The episode explored degrees of friendships and even gave us some important lessons. 

Starting with that of Willie and our protagonist boy Marcus Lopez Arguello (Benjamin Wadsworth), their friendship is clandestine initially. Willie, as a member of the Final World Order and definitely from the "legacy," cannot be seen hanging out with "rat," Marcus. Inside the dorm, the two enjoy video games, but as soon as a third person walks in, including Shabnam (Isaiah Lehtinen), Willie dons on his gangster front and treats Marcus like the "rat," he is. In the hallways, especially, Willie tells Marcus to "back off," and Marcus feels, and we do too, he does not deserve that kind of a friend who is "ashamed" of him in public.
