Story Recap

Episode 1

Oliver takes what he assumes is a simple babysitting job while Mr. Anderson is away. Then he meets their son Marcus—not a child, but a spoiled, hot-tempered fraternity president with a smirk and no sense of boundaries.

Marcus corners Oliver in his own room, all swagger and teasing. "Don't look away now, Oliver. You've been watching this whole time." When Oliver demands to know what he's doing there, Marcus only gets bolder, complimenting his babysitter's build like it's a game.

Marcus is sent back to his room. Oliver is left rattled, already sensing this job is nothing like he expected—and that Marcus enjoys getting under his skin.

Episode 2

At school, the power dynamic sharpens. Marcus reminds Oliver they share a campus and that he runs the fraternity—then dangles an offer: make him happy, and he'll let Oliver join. Oliver pushes back, insisting Mr. Anderson hired him to keep Marcus focused on his studies.

The morning routine shows the friction up close. Oliver helps Abby with the dishes while Marcus just scrolls on his phone, unbothered. Then Marcus asks Oliver for a favor, and something about his look makes Oliver's stomach drop.

It's the first real hint that Marcus's interest isn't simple hostility—and that whatever he's about to ask, Oliver won't like it.

Babysitting the Bad boy - Episode 2

Episode 3

Oliver barely eats after his run-in with Marcus, then blacks out at the school gate. Later, Abby tells him the surprising part: Kelvin found him on the ground, but it was Marcus—the guy who can't stand him—who carried him to the car and brought him home.

That evening, Kelvin shows up at the door with a single crimson rose. Something warm flickers in Oliver's chest. Then they run into Marcus, whose face drops at how close the two are. He storms downstairs, jaw locked, eyes glued to them all night.

The room feels freezing cold. Oliver can't figure out why the moody frat president is suddenly so furious.

Episode 4

Since Kelvin's rose, Marcus has been worse than ever. At school he beats another student so badly the guy lands in the nurse's office—and Marcus doesn't even flinch when Mr. Anderson cuts his allowance.

Yet the hot-cold routine continues. Oliver cleans his scrapes, their faces inches apart, and Marcus watches him walk away with something reluctant in his eyes.

Later that night, a message: Marcus thanking him for patching him up. The jerk actually said thank you. Oliver admits the tiny moment of softness made his heart skip—proof that the bad boy is getting to him.

Episode 5

Oliver hopes Marcus will behave. Nope. Marcus sneaks into his room at night and turns off his alarm so he'll be late. When Oliver snaps at him in class, Marcus leans in instead of getting angry, breath hot against his neck: "This is just the beginning, sweetheart. Lock your door at night."

Later, pulled over for running a red light, Marcus suddenly pulls Oliver against his chest to pose as his boyfriend in front of the cop. Oliver freezes, insisting to himself he's just the tutor—there's no way he'd fall for a difficult frat president like him.

Episode 6

Kelvin invites Oliver to a game, and Marcus insists on tagging along. In the noisy stands, he keeps provoking him—asking whether Oliver likes Kelvin, crowding him with cologne until Oliver's focus blurs.

It boils over. Oliver slaps Marcus across the face, bursts into tears, and runs home, leaving Marcus standing there looking lost.

Days later, Oliver learns the maddening truth: Marcus mocks him to his face but washed all his dirty clothes behind his back. When Oliver comes downstairs in shorts to thank him, Marcus's eyes drag over his skin, then he scowls and walks off. Hot and cold—what does he even want?

Episode 7

Abby leaves for her hometown, and suddenly it's just Oliver and Marcus alone in the huge, empty house.

Oliver opens the door to find Marcus holding a football, shirt tied around his waist, carved abs impossible to ignore. Marcus's gaze locks onto Oliver's bare skin, going dark, his breathing heavier.

Then a crash downstairs. Oliver runs to the kitchen—Marcus has smashed a plate, blood running down his palm. Oliver asks if it hurts, but Marcus tells him to go back to his room. Whatever is building between them is about to get a lot harder to ignore.

If you're in the mood for a messy bad-boy romance with jealousy and slow-burn tension, this one's worth a binge.
