Kinda wanna do a quick look at the booty call scene at the beginning of episode 4 because I think its kinda clear that Greta and Jess are on the same page and Greta is completely aware that Jess knows whats going on

like ok first of all, Carson comes in through the hallway door when (as I love to point out) her room literally has a connecting door to Greta's. and like Greta has used it at the beginning of episode 3 to have a private conversation with Carson

so like I'm assuming that Carson is using the hall door either because she came from another room or because she (most likely) doesn't want to alert Shirley to the fact that she's going to visit Greta's room at night for a booty call

but then Jess is in Greta's room and Carson just kinda stands there with the door wide open and stammers about going to the library.

then she leaves their room, but also leaves the door wide open and steps aside as if she's going to her room but she very obviously just stands there in the hall

So Carson is not subtle and Greta knows this and also Greta is not subtle because when Carson comes in, this is her first comment

like the woman is literally asking if this is a booty call in front of Jess. If Greta were actually in anyway concerned about hiding what they were doing to Jess, she wouldn't have fucking said that in front of her obviously queer roommate.

but then when Greta leaves, why does she make up an excuse to Jess about going to the store?

Well, for one thing, Carson left the door open. Even if they weren't worried about any of the other Peaches overhearing (which Greta almost definitely is), Carson is literally standing right there waiting for Greta to come out. At this point, I don't think she wants Carson to worry about other people definitely knowing what they're doing, queer or not, because 1) she'd probably be a bit embarrassed and 2) then all of a sudden we're outing people to the baby gay to reassure the baby gay that said queer people are cool with their booty calls actually

For another thing, she immediately winks at Jess after saying this and both of them are clearly laughing as Greta is leaving

And finally, Greta is literally telling Jess what to say if anyone happens to come looking for her ("oh no Greta isn't here she went to the store") and is also offering to do Jess a favor for covering for her ass

So yeah, Greta is well aware that Jess is well aware, she's just also Greta and can't acknowledge it directly and is always doing five different things at once to make sure no one that shouldn't be aware finds out

thinking about Jess "I came here to win, not to fuck around" McCready being the one to tell all the other Peaches to go help Jo walk the bases after seeing what Carson and Greta were doing and being the first one to run over to them and literally picking up Jo's foot and putting it on the base for her

And even when, in the immediate aftermath of this, you can tell she's still very upset at not winning

and is still bothered by it that night

but she didn't hesitate for a second to go help Jo and make sure all the others did too

"I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. You, with all your undumb letters, would never write so elementary a phrase as that; perhaps you wouldn’t even feel it. And yet I believe you’ll be sensible of a little gap. But you’d clothe it in so exquisite a phrase that it would lose a little of its reality. Whereas with me it is quite stark: I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is just really a squeal of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become. I suppose you are accustomed to people saying these things. Damn you, spoilt creature; I shan’t make you love me any the more by giving myself away like this – But oh my dear, I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defences. And I don’t really resent it."
