The most recent preview for Awkward's mid-season finale this week seems to be missing a few characters.

Elizabeth Whitson Talks Playing 'Bad Girl' Eva On MTV's Awkward?

The mid-season finale, entitled Snow Job, airs this week on MTV. Jenna (Ashley Rickards) refers to the senior ski trip as being "legendary," and yet the power struggle between Jenna and Eva (Elizabeth Whitson) seems to go relatively unchaperoned. Where are Jenna's friends? Will they be there to back her up or talk some sense into her?

Tamara (Jillian Rose Reed) seems to be included in an early ski-trip shot, though she quickly vanishes from the narrative arc. Sadie (Molly Tarlov) is also notably absent from the preview until the very end, and based an her attire it seems she did not attend the ski trip at all.

Jenna Torn Between Luke And Matty On Awkward?

It seems unlikely that Jenna would go on a trip with ex-boyfriend Matty (Beau Mirchoff) and his new girlfriend Eva without bringing some sort of support system with her. Tamara looks like the obvious choice, but perhaps her omission implies more surprises to come from the missing players.

It's possible that their storylines would give away mid-finale secrets, and so they have been cut from the preview to build suspense. It's also possible that there just wasn't enough time in the 20-second promo to include them all.

After all, it is the midseason finale, and there is definitely a lot of ground to cover before the MTV series goes on break.
