Despite Wolfe not sharing the same poetry skills as Ginny, they slowly begin to bond, and by episode four, their relationship becomes increasingly romantic.
As well as this, Wolfe is accepting of what is going on in Ginny's life including her mum being on trial for murder. After this, the duo go to a house party where they have sex in the laundry room.
After coming to the realisation that she is pregnant and that Wolfe is the father, Ginny tells him, and responds by stating, 'that's wild', and shows no interest in supporting Ginny through the process of getting an abortion.
Despite this, they are able to retain their initial friendship by the end of the season.

Partner of the First U.S. Woman in Space Reflects On Their Hidden Relationship

History does not record if Sally Ride rolled her eyes when she got a look at the plans for the first toiletry kit NASA put together for its female astronauts—but she'd have been within her rights to do so. The space agency certainly knew how to pack for men, providing them more or less the basics—deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor. The women would get the essentials too, but there would be more: lipstick, blush, eyeliner, and, critically, up to 100 tampons—because who-all knew just how many the average woman would need during the average week in space? That first toiletry kit was planned before June 18, 1983, when Ride went aloft on the shuttle Challenger, becoming the first American woman in space, breaking the gender barrier the Soviets had broken with cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, just over 20 years to the day earlier. The tampon nonsense was not the only indignity NASA's female astronauts in general and Ride in particular had to endure. Her story is chronicled in the evocative new documentary Sally, a 2025 winner of the Sundance Film Festival 's Alfred P. Sloan feature film prize. Among the memorable moments Ride experienced was the pre-flight press conference during which a TIME magazine correspondent raised his hand and asked, 'Dr. Ride, a couple of fast questions, sir…ma'am.' There was, too, the reporter who pointedly asked Ride 'Do you weep?' when confronted with a particularly knotty problem during training. There was the bouquet of flowers Ride was handed after the shuttle landed, intended as a gift to America's first space heroine—a gift Ride politely refused to accept, sparking all manner of criticism in the mainstream press. More important than all of that, though, was the private— exceedingly private—side to Ride, most notably her 27-year relationship with her life partner Tam O'Shaughnessy, a marriage-in-all-but-name that wasn't revealed until Ride died of pancreatic cancer in 2012 at age 61, and O'Shaughnessy told the world in the obituary she wrote to mark her mate's passing. Not long before Ride died, O'Shaughnessey gently broached how—and whether—she should reveal their more-than quarter century secret. 'I asked Sally about that. I said, you know, 'I'm kind of worried. I don't know what I'm going to write, you know, how I'm going to navigate this,'' O'Shaughnessy recalled in a recent conversation with TIME, ahead of the release of the film. 'And she said, 'You decide. Whatever you decide will be the right thing to do.'' The film, written, produced, and directed by Cristina Constantine, premiers on the National Geographic channel on June 16, and becomes available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on June 17. As it reveals, Sally and Tam made a lot of right—and tough—choices in the time they had together, and Ride did much the same when it came to the professional trajectory that took her to space. There is no minimizing just how alien the notion of female astronauts was at the start, at least in the U.S. The film includes a clip of Gordon Cooper, one of NASA's original seven astronauts, being interviewed in the early 1960s. 'Is there any room in the space program for a woman?' the reporter asked. 'Well,' Cooper answered without a trace of a smile, 'we could have used a woman and flown her instead of the chimpanzee.' It wasn't until 1976, a decade and a half after Alan Shepard became the first American in space, that NASA opened up its astronaut selection process to women and people of color. More than 8,000 hopefuls applied; in 1978, NASA selected 35 of them to become astronauts, including three Black people, one Asian American, and six women. Ride was among them, as was Judith Resnik, who would lose her life when the shuttle Challenger exploded at the start of its tenth mission in January 1986. There was a great deal of handicapping inside and outside of NASA as to which woman would fly first—much the way there was among the men in the run-up to Shepard's flight in 1961—and Ride and Resnik were considered the leading candidates. Ultimately, as Sally recounts, Ride was chosen because she struck NASA mission planners as slightly less distracted by the celebrity attending being number one, focusing more on the mission and less on the history she would make. 'She loved physics and she loved space exploration,' says O'Shaughnessey, 'and with those things she could be intense, driven.' Ride loved O'Shaughnessey too—though it was a devotion that was a long time in the making. The two met when Ride was 13 and O'Shaughnessey was 12 and they were standing in line to check in to play in a tennis tournament in Southern California, where they both grew up. Ride repeatedly rose restlessly to her tiptoes, and O'Shaughenessy said, ''You're walking on your toes like a ballet dancer,'' she recalls in the film. 'That kind of started our friendship. Sally was kind of quiet, but she would talk for eight minutes straight on different players and how to beat 'em, how to whup 'em.' The two grew quickly close, but went in different directions, with Ride studying physics at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania for three semesters beginning in 1968 and later at UCLA for the summer semester before transferring to Stanford as a junior, and O'Shaughnessey becoming a professional tennis player from 1971 to 1974, ultimately playing in both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon. O'Shaughnessy accepted her sexuality early, openly, and enthusiastically. 'I was on the tennis circuit and there were a few queer women,' she told TIME. 'But it was also just the atmosphere, even the straight women. No one really cared who you slept with…I was going to the gay bars in San Francisco and dancing with my friends.' For Ride, things were different. When she was at Stanford she fell in love with her female roommate and the two were together for four years. But Ride insisted on keeping the relationship largely under wraps and that secrecy was a no-go for her partner. 'She couldn't stand being so closeted and decided to move on with her life,' says O'Shaughnessy. Ride would later choose an opposite sex partner, marrying fellow astronaut Steve Hawley in 1982, a move that was more than just an accommodating pose for a public figure in a country not ready for same-sex marriage, but less than a true union of the heart. 'They were really good friends,' O'Shaughnessy says. 'They had a lot in common. He was an astronomer, Sally was a physicist. They had stuff to talk about. They were both so thrilled to be selected to be astronauts and they both liked sports, so I think they had a solid friendship.' It wasn't enough. The two divorced in 1987, but even before they did, Ride and O'Shaughnessy began drifting together as more than just friends. At the time, O'Shaughnessy was living in Atlanta, after retiring from the tennis circuit; Ride, who was living in Houston, would visit her frequently. 'I never thought we would become romantic,' O'Shaughnessy says, 'but it just turned that way one afternoon in the spring of 1985. When she would come to town, we would typically go for runs and long walks and just spend time together. Back at my place one day, we were just talking. I had an old cocker spaniel named Annie, I leaned over to pet her, and the next thing I knew, Sally's hand was on my lower back. And it felt unusual. I turned to look at her and I could tell she was in love with me.' As O'Shaughnessy recalls in the film, she said, 'Oh boy, we're in trouble.' Ride responded, 'We don't have to be. We don't have to do this.' Then they kissed. Ride would ultimately fly twice in space, going aloft the second time in 1984, once again aboard the shuttle Challenger. After that snake-bit ship came to tragic ruin, exploding 73 seconds into its last flight and claiming the lives of all seven crewmembers, Ride and Neil Armstrong, the commander of Apollo 11 and the first man on the moon, served on the commission that investigated the causes of the accident. Ride left NASA in 1987, accepting a fellowship at Stanford and later became a professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego. In 1989, O'Shaughnessy moved out west to live with her. It would not be until 2013, a year after Ride's death, that California would permanently legalize gay marriage, and it would not be until 2015 that the Supreme Court would do the same nationwide. That was alright with Ride, who, as with her relationship with her college roommate, continued to believe that her love for O'Shaughnessy should remain a quiet and relatively private thing. But all that began to change in 2011. It was early that year that Ride first showed signs of illness—poor appetite and yellowing cheeks. Her doctor diagnosed pancreatic cancer. 'The doctor never said what stage. He never said the worst stage. We thought she was going to get better, and we were trying everything,' O'Shaughnessy recalls. 'She was doing acupuncture, we were meditating, we became vegans. And then one day, we're at the oncologist, and he said, 'It's time for hospice.' And Sally and I were, like, shocked.' Not long before Ride died, the couple grew concerned that O'Shaughnessy would not be allowed to visit her in the hospital, help make critical care decisions, or share property because they were not married—and could not be in California. So they went for the next best thing, registering as certified domestic partners, which afforded them the necessary rights. 'It's the worst phrase,' says O'Shaughnessy. 'We used to call each other certified domestic hens, because it's such a bad term.' Whatever name they went by, they would not get to enjoy their newly legalized status for long. Ride passed on July 23, 2012, just 17 months after she was diagnosed. At first NASA planned no formal memorial or celebration of Ride's life. Then, the next month, Armstrong died and a memorial was held at the Washington National Cathedral, with 1,500 people in attendance. 'I got mad,' O'Shaughnessy says. She called then-Senator Barbara Mikulski (D, Md.) who chaired the Senate Committee on Appropriations and oversaw NASA's budget. Mikulski called then-NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden, who at first offered up a relatively intimate affair for 300 people at the National Air and Space Museum. O'Shaughnessy pressed, and ultimately won approval for a far more prepossessing event at the Kennedy Center in 2013. Today, Ride's legacy lives on in Sally Ride Science, a nonprofit founded by Ride and O'Shaughnessy in 2001 to inspire girls to become scientifically literate and to draw girls and women into the STEM fields. It lives on too in astronaut Peggy Whitson, who now holds the U.S. record for most time spent in space, at 675 days over four missions. It lives on in Christina Koch, who will become the first woman to travel to the moon, when she flies aboard Artemis II on its circumlunar journey in 2026. It lives on in NASA's current 46-person astronaut corps, of whom 19 are women. Ride flew high, Ride flew fast, and Ride flew first—doing service to both science and human equity in the process. Sally powerfully tells her tale.

Jason Day Emulates John Daly with US Open Malbon Look

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Australian golfer Jason Day and Malbon Golf have done it again. On Tuesday at the U.S. Open, the Aussie stopped people in their tracks as he wore a bold outfit that featured full-on American flag shorts. It seemed like the 2015 PGA Championship winner giving a nod to John Daly, who famously rocked similar attire. This outfit very well could be the 2025 version of last year's Masters vest, but better. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 10: Jason Day of Australia looks on during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 10: Jason Day of Australia looks on during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Photo byFans seemed shocked to see an international player don the Red, White and Blue. As an Australian citizen, Day made an interesting choice, but it again brought so many eyes to Malbon. This brand knows how to draw the eye, and they have a player willing to do it confidently. It is a massive leap from the sweatsuit he wore Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Many people dislike Malbon because of their non-traditional approach to golf fashion, but this outfit likely won over many haters. Day wore a navy polo from Malbon's new Eagle Buckets collection. He also donned the white pullover from the latest release with an American star collar with red details. The fans could not get enough of this patriotic moment, and their reactions were spot on. One of the best posts about the shorts came from X user, ANTIFAldo, who immediately thought of Daly when he saw Day's outfit, captioning the post "this is John G'Daly." Daly has worn multiple pairs of American flag pants throughout the years. He is notorious for loud pants and has always been unapologetically himself in them. Happy Birthday to British Open Champion and a true american, John Daly #TreysBirthdayTweets — The Main On Trey Comedy Page🇬🇧 (@SportsRM749) April 28, 2025 Thankfully, Malbon styled it with class because there is a fine line when wearing something as impactful as the American flag. It can get cheesy fast. Malbon's choices were not cheesy at all, but very stylish. Sure, the pullover had a wild collar, but it was still subtle enough not to overshadow the shorts, which were the clear statement piece. Leave it up to the Australian golfer to show the Americans how to dress for their national championship. Day lives in Cleveland, Ohio, but it is bold and surprising of him to break out the full Red, White, and Blue outfit. Jason Day: Born in Australia, lives in Cleveland, lover of the red, white, and blue. — Mark Harris (@itismarkharris) June 10, 2025 Fans seem to be coming around to the wild outfits from Malbon, especially ones that pay respect to this country. Things have come a long way since April 2024, when the world stopped for Jason Day's vest. These shorts may surpass the popularity of that first viral moment.

Finished 'Dept. Q'? Netflix's New Murder Mystery 'The Survivors' Should Be Your Next Watch

For those looking to fill the Dept. Q-shaped whodunnit hole in their life, Netflix has come up trumps, once again, with yet another murder mystery: The Survivors. The Survivors, which launched on the platform on June 6, stars Charlie Vickers as Kieran Elliott and Bridgerton's newest darling Yerin Ha as Mia Chang, a young couple who are haunted by ghosts of their past when they return to their childhood hometown to be with Kieran's ailing father and emotionally distant mother, per Netflix. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE The limited six-episode series, which is based on the bestselling Jane Harper novel of the same name, boasts all of the elements of a winning murder mystery with a brooding, simmering tension throughout and a moody, murderous setting, not dissimilar from its Dept. Q predecessor. Needless to say, it's the murder mystery we all ought to be bookmarking and binging. This is everything you need to know about The Survivors. Set in the fittingly sleepy seaside town Evelyn Bay in Tasmania, The Survivors tells the story of Kieran (Vickers) and Mia (Ha) as they return to their emotionally fraught hometown. 'Kieran Elliott's life changed forever when two people drowned and a young girl went missing in his hometown of Evelyn Bay,' per Netflix. 'Fifteen years later, returning with his young family, the guilt that still haunts him resurfaces. When the body of a young woman is found on the beach, the town is once again rocked by tragedy and the investigation of her death threatens to reveal long-held secrets, the truth about the missing girl, and a killer among them.' 'It's a family melodrama disguised as a murder mystery,' the series' showrunner Tony Ayres said of the series. 'Because the things that are really at its heart are things like a son wanting his mother's love and the mother who just cannot afford to give it because her whole world might fall apart.' Alongside Elliott and Ha, The Survivors also stars Robyn Malcolm, Damien Garvey and Apple Cider Vinegar's Thom Green and Julian Weeks. The full cast is below: The series was filmed throughout the Australian state of Tasmania, and is set in the fictional town of Evelyn Bay, where the book takes place. However, as Ayres stressed in an interview with Netflix, 'Evelyn Bay doesn't actually exist. Jane [Harper] made it up out of a number of different places.' The Survivors was filmed in an area of Tasmania called Eaglehawk Neck, which Ayres noted has 'such a gothic landscape. It's cliffs and sea caves and this pounding ocean. It really is so spectacular.' Netflix has not yet greenlit another season, but given the precedent set by previous the streaming service with its other limited series that it's ended up commissioning second seasons of, including Nobody Wants This and Squid Game, there's still plenty of time for a second outing of The Survivors. The Survivors is available to stream on Netflix now. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
