THE SHARDS: Susan and Robert Share Quiet Moment Before Dance Off! Chaos
The scene arrives from episode five as tensions build among the prep school clique.
FX shared a new scene from THE SHARDS centered on Susan and Robert, played by Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere, as the two characters share a private heart-to-heart moment before classmate Thom, played by Graham Campbell, arrives at the Dance Off! competition. The clip comes from the fifth episode of the drama and offers a quieter counterpoint to the tension that has defined the pair's relationship throughout the season.
Gerber's Susan and Gere's Robert have been at the center of mounting suspicion among their peers, with Thom previously voicing concerns to classmate Bret about Robert's intentions toward Susan. That wariness followed an earlier physical altercation between Robert and Thom at a house party, witnessed by Susan and the rest of their friend group. The new scene finds the two leads stepping away from that conflict for a more intimate exchange ahead of the dance competition.
THE SHARDS is executive produced by Ryan Murphy and adapted from the bestselling novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the series follows a group of privileged high school seniors at an elite prep school navigating identity, jealousy and obsession, with a darker current running beneath their social world. The show has also generated attention for its period detail, with cast and crew previously discussing efforts to recreate the sound and style of the early 1980s.
The Dance Off! setting has become a recurring backdrop for the series, having previously been the site of classmates jockeying for camera time and Thom struggling to find his footing on the dance floor, as detailed in a prior scene from the same episode. New episodes of THE SHARDS are available on FX and Hulu on Disney+.
