MAN [OVER PHONE]: Code name:

This is Baby Bird checking in.

I heard talk about
a demonstration of some kind

at a big event coming up.

[POUNDING ON DOOR]

I gotta go.

Frankie, what is
so important you have to

bust up in here while
I'm using the bathroom?

What are you looking for?

I check the call log,

am I gonna find this was just dialed?

I don't know. That's not mine.

Get off me! No.

No... [MUFFLED GRUNTS]

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

He asked you out? It's about time.

He invited me for drinks.

- Sometimes drinks are just drinks.
- Oh, girl, please.

You know what's in that man's head.

- We all do.
- Maybe.

But I'm trying to figure out
what's in my own.

Dante's got a lot going on.

So do I.

That is just life, baby.

And that is no reason
to run away from this.

I'm not running away.

I just think... [SIGHS]

...neither one of us wants
something casual.

And if we rush into this
before we're ready...

- ROBYN: Morning.
- Hey. Morning.

How's everything at your dad's?

How's he holding up?

I don't know. Kelly moved
all her stuff out,

so the place just feels sort of empty.

I just can't believe they broke up.

I never even saw them fight.

Relationships are hard, sweetheart,

but your dad's gonna be okay.

So will you. How about some juice?

Sure, Auntie.

Oh, um, by the way, I'm gonna
be home a little late.

I signed up for another
Peer Ear shift after school.

Peer Ear. That's
the student counseling program.

DELILAH: Mm-hmm. And you know what?

I am really enjoying it.

So, last week, I helped a guy
talk through a recent breakup.

And today I'm meeting up with a new girl

who's having a hard time making friends.

Look at you, making the world
a better place.

I would expect nothing less
from my baby girl.

No. Okay, it is nothing
compared to what you do, Mom.

No, don't diminish this.

No matter how big or small
people's problems are,

you're making a difference
in their lives.

That's what counts.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Thanks, Mom.
- I gotta take this.

I'm proud of you, Dee.

Hey, Marcus, what's up?

[BOAT HORN BLARES]

[SEAGULLS CALLING]

Thanks for meeting me, Robyn.

Sorry to bother you so early.

No bother. Everything okay?

Uh... Actually, no.

My old partner's gone missing on an op.

Vice Detective Rose Garcia.

Saved my ass on more than one occasion.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, how long since her last contact?

Three days.

Went in as a waitress
at this private casino

run by a guy named Charles Benson.

Part of the Blanco syndicate.

So Vice thinks there's more
going on than just gambling.

[SIGHS] That's what Garcia
was trying to find out.

Thought she was getting close,
but then she disappeared.

Well, why can't Vice
just raid the place?

I mean, surely a missing
undercover is probable cause.

Well, seems the Feds have been
sitting on Benson for a while.

Part of a larger case they're building

against the Blancos,
so no one can make a move

without their say-so.

And an ongoing investigation is
more important

than a Vice cop's life.

I can't leave her there, Robyn.

We can't. And we won't.

M.E.L.: Hello, Harry.

- How can I help you?
- Yes.

M.E.L., hack into the grid
and show me all live footage

from every street cam on Broadway

between 70th and 79th.

M.E.L.: Task completed.

- Oh, it speaks now.
- Yes, yes.

- Pretty impressive, huh?
- It's something.

Did you get my text about Benson?

Yes. Uh, and I was just
about to put M.E.L. on it.

M.E.L., uh, show me
everything you've got

about criminal Charles Benson.

Use all available databases.

M.E.L.: Checking.

Ah, you got this thing
back up and running.

M.E.L.: Task completed.

Looks like Benson went
from two-bit con artist

to Blanco lieutenant in
a little over six years.

If we're gonna find out what
happened to Dante's old partner,

I think we need to get
someone inside Benson's casino.

Except if Benson made Detective Garcia

as an undercover, he's gonna be wary

of anyone just
turning up out of nowhere.

So whomever it is should ideally
be someone he already knows.

M.E.L., generate a complete list
of all known associates

of Charles Benson, past and present.

M.E.L.: Searching.

Task completed.

What's that news article there?

MEL: This was Benson's old crew
when he was pulling cons.

Looks like their last job
didn't go well.

Their mark came home early,
surprised them,

at which point Benson pulled a g*n

- and started sh**ting.
- HARRY: Only the other guy sh*t back.

"One associate, Sylvia Ross, was k*lled.

"Charles Benson fled the scene,

"is wanted for questioning,
and a third member of the crew

was apprehended."

Where is he?

The guy who got caught?

J.J. Cranson, doing eight
and a half at Riverview.

You expect me to get
this guy out of prison?

ROBYN [OVER PHONE]:
Hear me out. J.J. Cranson

has been serving time ever since a con

he and Benson pulled went sideways.

Benson got off scot-free.

Which means J.J. didn't dime on him.

So you think that makes him...

Someone Benson might be happy to see.

All right, maybe, but this guy
is a con artist, a liar,

degenerate gambler, not to mention

- a serious flight risk.
- I know it's unusual,

but you came to me
because the usual playbook

isn't gonna cut it.

Let me try this.

What if he doesn't want to help?

Oh, I can be very persuasive.

Hell no, I ain't going
nowhere near Charles Benson.

I value my life. No, thank you.

What if I got you a reduced sentence?

I just did eight years.

I got six months left,
and I'm a free man.

Plus, I got a beautiful
woman waiting on me, too.

We're gonna move to
a small town in Vermont,

live a nice, quiet life. I'm out.

I'll go serve out the rest of my time

in a safe cell.

What about your old partner Sylvia?

- What about her?
- Seems to me the whole reason

you got caught that night is because

you stayed behind to help her.

A lot of good that did.

She d*ed anyway.

But at least you cared enough to try.

Which Benson didn't.

What's it even matter, okay?

It's the past.
We-we can't bring her back.

We can't bring Sylvia back.

But you can keep it
from happening again...

by helping us with Benson.

Listen, lady, let me get
this straight with you.

J.J. Cranson, I don't do no snitching.

But this is not about snitching.

This is about saving a life.

This missing detective is
my friend's old partner.

His Sylvia.

I see what you're trying to do.

You're trying to manipulate my emotions,

and I don't appreciate it.

And it's not gonna work. Sorry.

If you're okay letting Benson skate

for what he did to Sylvia,
that's your call.

But if you're willing to let it happen

to another woman because of him,

then that's on you.

Now, that is a good burger right there.

I'm ready to turn over a new leaf.

No more gambling, no more conning.

Just a nice, quiet life.

It's a good thing. I'm not sure

how much action you'll find
in Vermont with, uh...

What's your lady's name?

Bertha. Bertha Mitchell.

And how'd you guys meet?

We haven't met yet,
but I met her through

a prison pen pal deal.

So it was love at first read, huh?

No. But we spoke on the phone,

swapped some pictures.

- What?
- Nothing.

You think I got catfished, don't you?

The con getting conned.

How about I make
a little wager with you?

I thought you quit gambling.

A friendly wager is not gambling.

Okay, I'm just trying
to help you with that, uh,

"new leaf" thing.

You want to help me?

Let me see my grandma while I'm out.

I don't think she's gonna
make it another six months.

You come through for us,
I'm pretty sure I can make that happen.

And we gotta stop by my boy's place.

He's holding some suits for me.

You know, for a guy
who's been out 15 minutes,

you got a lot of requests.

You want me to step back
into my old life

like it's never changed?

I gotta get into character.

Besides, I already told him
that we coming.

Fine. I'm going in with you.

Huh?

J.J.: Right there.
That's my boy's place.

He gonna be so happy to see me.

- Damn.
- You know these guys?

I know who they work for.

You know, I didn't have time to
settle some of my gambling debts

before I got locked up.

- MAN: Hey, J.J. What's up?
- How did they know I was coming here?

Because your boy sold you out.

[SIGHS] Son of a bitch.

Don't worry, I'll handle this.

With that?

That better be a lightsaber.

Hey...

I needed that to keep
the brisk air off my neck.

- Stay in the car.
- Got it.

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

I don't want any trouble, guys.

What say we talk this out?

Guess not.

- [GRUNTING]
- [PAINED CRIES]

Damn!

Damn!

I knew this was a bad idea.

- Don't worry. I'll find him.
- Well, even if you do,

J.J. bolted at the first sign of danger.

What makes you so sure
he's gonna help us with Benson?

I'm not, but my gut tells me
he has a good soul,

wants to do right by Garcia.

It's why he agreed to help.

- Or he saw a chance to escape.
- Either way,

he's the best sh*t we have
at getting inside that casino.

ROBYN: Feeling lucky today, huh?

[GROANS] Man.

Thank God you found me.

It ain't safe for me out here.

How did you find me, anyway?

A tracker?

Where's the trust?

In your stomach.

That burger you ate today had an
ingestible geolocation device in it.

- I feel violated.
- Relax.

It'll be out of your system
in a day or two.

Come on.

Where we going?

I'm taking you back to prison.

No, Benson is gonna pay
for what he did to Sylvia.

I was going to look for you,

I swear.

Oh, right after you finished not
gambling with those scratchers?

No, that's not gambling,
that's desperation,

'cause I got to pay them loan sharks.

And that's your plan?

You know the odds of winning
with those things?

Like M.J. say, you miss 100%
of the bets you don't make.

It was "sh*ts." And it was Gretzky.

- I-I know it was Jordan.
- Gretzky.

J.J.: You want to bet?

This is who you're looking for.

Detective Rose Garcia.

Got it.

I'll reach out to some mutuals,

see if I can set a meeting with Benson.

As long as it's not your bookie.

I told you, I got that.

Is she like this all the time?

Insightful? Yes.

One more thing.

Garcia overheard Benson talking about

some kind of demonstration.

I'm not sure if it's related
to her disappearance.

I'll see what I can find out.

Just so you guys know, there's a chance

Benson might not be thrilled to see me.

And why is that?

The last job, we got off with 200K.

He think I stashed the money
and didn't give him his cut.

- Did you?
- No.

The cops that busted me took they money.

Don't worry.

We'll be close by, just in case
we need to pull you out.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]

At least my fits aren't a nightmare.

Girl, you wish. My style always eats.

Hey, we don't need

Wouldn't hurt to be nice,

"It wouldn't hurt to be nice."

What is that,
the Peer Ear mission statement?

FRANCESCA: Can't help poking
her nose in other people's problems

'cause she's got none of her own.

- What? That's not true.

Ah, I got off on good behavior, man.

No, I did eight years.

Why would I cut a deal?
I only had six months left.

Come.

Lot's changed since you went away.

Listen...

What happened that night,
that was, that was...

that was messed up, but...

But I had to jet. I mean, you get that,
right?

Of course you did. You couldn't have got
all this in the pen.

Appreciate you staying loyal.

I won't forget that.

What a piece of dirt.

You were right about J.J., though.

Benson sure is happy to see him.

Well, let's hope it stays that way.

Truth is, J.J.,

I could use someone
to help me run this place.

I can't be everywhere all at once.

It's really not my thing, man.

Stop lying. It's who we are.

And you need to embrace it,
make it a strength.

I turned my habit into an empire, man...

now you can be a part of that.

I mean, you earned it.

Don't go anywhere.

Listen up, funny man.

Boss might be cool with you,
but I don't know you.

And I definitely don't like you.

First sign you're up to something,

I'm gonna put a b*llet in your head.

Sorry about that.

Just a few last-minute details
to arrange for tonight's event.

Come on. Tour's not over yet.

This place is a lot more
than just a casino.

[DOOR OPENS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MACHINERY WHIRRING, CLICKING]

J.J.: Wow.

It's like a candy shop.

Vice was right.

Benson's got a lot more
going on than just a casino.

Hey, Harry, you getting all this?

Yeah, and more.

As part of M.E.L.'s training,
I-I had it track people

on FBI and CIA watch lists.

And it turns out there's been
a surge of these bad hombres

coming into New York
the last couple of days.

Some real heavy hitters:
a known arms dealer,

a b*mb maker with ties
to t*rror1st organizations.

A Colombian drug lord's lieutenant,

a walking Geneva Convention violation

known as "The Chemist."

And we think they're
all here for Benson?

He did mention he was hosting
an event tonight.

Think we just got a look
at what's on the menu.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Who is that?

Hardly matters now, does it?

FRANKIE: Take a good look.

This is how we deal with rats.

Dante, is that...?

Yeah.

Rose Garcia.

This is on me, Robyn.

I should have pressed
the issue with Vice,

taken it to the higher-ups myself.

- I could've come to you sooner.
- Hey.

What happened with Garcia is a...

it's a devastating loss.

But this is not your fault.

We knew each other a long time.

Came through the academy together.

They really put me through it.

Nobody wanted another Big Ben
on the job, right?

Made every day hell trying
to get me to drop out.

I almost did, more than once.

But each time, Garcia was there,

reminding me of who I was,
what I was there to prove.

So I stuck it out.

She sounds like a real friend.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her.

- And now she...
- Marcus.

I am so sorry.

But we're gonna get this guy.

Maybe now that we know about
all the contraband in there,

we can get a warrant.

Not sure if the joint task force
sitting on Benson

will see it that way.

Well, then, we'll go over their heads.

We'll take it straight to DA Grafton.

That may work.

Whatever it takes
to bring this guy down.

We got you.

We all got you.

[RAGGED INHALE]

[DISTANT CHATTER]

Auntie? Hey.

Uh, what are you doing here?

Your school called about
you missing two classes,

and when you weren't
answering your phone,

I got worried.

Sorry, I just, I put it on
do not disturb.

I didn't feel like talking to anybody.

How did you find me?

Find Your Friends works
on nieces, too, you know.

So, what's motivated
this little field trip?

These two girls were fighting,
and when I tried to stop them,

they accused me
of being nosy, with no life.

Please.

I'm sure they're just jealous.

And who cares what a
couple of girls think?

It's not just a couple of girls.

What is this?

DELILAH: It's a social media page

some kids made to talk about people...

including me.

"Dull-ilah"?

That's the best they could come up with?

I know it's stupid
and I shouldn't care, but I do.

They said that my life seems perfect.

I have problems, too,
even if I don't talk about them.

My mom has an extremely dangerous job,

my dad's going through
a divorce and, yeah,

I enjoy helping people.

Is that so bad?

No, it's just the opposite.

Well, I just wish I could find
more people like me.

People focused on helping other people

as opposed to hurting them.

Is this the reason that
you're looking at the m*llitary?

It's one of them, I guess.

I just can't help feeling

I'll meet more people like myself there.

Ones focused on making a difference,

like you and Mom said.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Honey, I...

I also think that if you
looked a little harder,

you could find like-minded
students at your school.

Besides, you keep
skipping classes like this,

the only new friends you're
gonna find are the ones in detention.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm cold. Can we go now?

Yeah, I'm cold, too.

Hey, your friend mentioned

maybe we can go over my Grandma's house

- before you take me back.
- She did.

She gave me the address.

Your friend's a good woman.

She said she was probably your bookie.

Come on, m-my grandmother's real.

If you don't believe me, you can
stop in and see for yourself.

Oh, I intend to.

And I can tell her you my girlfriend.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, but she's sharp, though,

so you might have to do
a little convincing.

Gonna have to really, really act

like you love me, and hold hands.

- Give me a little kiss on the cheek.
- I'll wait outside.

But if you try to run,
I'm telling you, J.J.,

I will go in there, you will not
see the light of day.

I ate a tracker. Where am I gonna go?

Yeah, whatever it is, I win.

So check this out: I-I was going through

J.J.'s footage, you know,
for the, for the DA,

and I thought I saw
Garcia's finger twitch.

All right? So I had

M.E.L. run a program
that helps detect deepfakes

by analyzing skin tone, minute changes

that could infer
blood circulation, which...

- determine whether or not...
- Wait a minute,

are you saying that she's...

Alive. I mean,
heavily sedated, but alive.

[LAUGHS] That's amazing.

But w-why?

What do they have planned for her?

I don't know,
I mean, that's the question.

All right, well, I got
one of Benson's guys right here.

J.J., check his pockets.

Maybe the texts on his phone
will tell us something.

Trying to put me in a box?
I'm-a put you in a box.

If I can find one big enough.
Yeah, bet you ain't think

you was gonna get kicked
in the head, did you, Frankie?

Is this medication?

Let me see.

[EXHALES]

Let me see...

I recognize these.
Atropine, pralidoxime.

They used to give them
to the Army right before battle.

This is a nerve agent antidote.

We know that Benson deals in arms.

I mean, that could include
chemical weapons.

Didn't Garcia's last report
say Benson was planning

some sort of demonstration?

If he's gonna demonstrate nerve gas,

he needs someone to demonstrate it on.

MAN: Okay, it's ready.

What? No.

No, no, no! No!

Help! Somebody!

Help me! Help!

Please help me!

You got to get me
into that event tonight.

If Benson is planning on
testing a chemical w*apon

on Detective Garcia, I got
to be there to stop him.

I think I have an idea.

See that boat, 100 miles offshore?
M.E.L.'s been tracking it.

According to its, uh,
hull identity number,

it belongs to Cynthia Penn,
British financier.

The billionaire tied
to t*rror1st organizations.

She's due to New York
Harbor in a few hours.

No doubt on her way to Benson's shindig.

If I can get into New York
Border Patrol's system,

I might be able to flag it,

and the Coast Guard will
intercept the boat.

Which will allow me
to show up in her place.

HARRY: You know, I can drum
up some counterfeit documentation,

make it look like you work for Penn,

but you're gonna still need an
assist on the inside to pull it off.

Looks like J.J. won't be going
back to his cell just yet.

Yeah, I'll help.

Now, you see how that works?

One person asks for a favor

- and the other one agrees.
- He's just mad

J.J. installed did the trick.

Whoa, whoa. Go back. Go back.

Turn left.

Harry, I could use an update.

Mel's in. She's starting her approach.

Let me know when she's secured Garcia.

HARRY: All right, getting close.

Take your next left
at the end of the hallway.

That should put you one right turn away.

All right, uh,
there are two armed guards.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[DEVICE BEEPING]

[BOTH GROANING]

Harry? She's gone. They moved her.

Dante.

- Garcia's not there.
- Damn it, Harry.

HARRY: Rob, do you copy? They moved her.

Now what? She could be anywhere.

Not just anywhere. They likely
moved her for a reason.

Probably to somewhere
better suited to testing

deadly airborne substances.

- Like a lab.
- HARRY: M.E.L.,

how many labs in the general
area of Benson's casino?

M.E.L.: Searching. There are 12 results.

Rob, there are 12 labs.

I can review street cam footage,
but, uh,

I mean, even using M.E.L.,
it's gonna take some time

- to find which one.
- We don't have time.

The demonstration starts in ten minutes.

You're gonna have to delay it.

ROBYN: Mr. Benson? Rowena Smythe.

Ms. Penn has a request.

What is it?

Call off the demonstration.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

The other buyers have asked for it.

Ms. Penn believes
she should be the only buyer.

How's ten million sound?

That-that's-that's a good offer, but...

it would be bad business on my part

to disappoint the others.

Then we have a problem.

Ms. Penn doesn't like others
knowing her affairs.

No can do. I'm...

Tell Ms. Penn I'm sorry.

Mr. Benson, I understand
you're a gambling man.

How about we play one round of poker?

Heads-up.

If I win, you sell my boss
the whole batch,

$10 million, no demonstration.

And if I win?

Then you sell the product
to whoever you want.

And keep the ten million
for your troubles.

Unless you're no good at cards.

One round.

HARRY: J.J., talk to me.

She led Benson away.

I think he took the bait.

Penn is taking a helicopter
from her yacht into the city.

She could be there any minute.

That woman right there.

GUARD: Sir, there's a problem.

Ms. Penn says she has
no idea who this person is.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Smythe.

Tell them to find out
who sent her, then k*ll her.

And gather the buyers
for the main event.

Okay.

M.E.L.: Possible match.
Two men carrying a person

of the same approximate height
and size of Detective Garcia.

That's her. Dante... Dante,
that's her. We found her.

All right, how far?



But you're gonna have to hurry.

Okay. We're on the move.

Hey!

DANTE: Someone turn off the gas!

Hang on, Garcia. I'm here.

Come on. Come on, come on.

I got you. I got you.

I got you.

Hang in there. Hang in there.

DANTE: So I talked to DA Grafton.

All that contraband should put
Benson away, for a very long time.

- Good.
- ROBYN: Yeah, I hope so.

What about your old partner,
the detective?

Is she okay?

Still touch and go.

If she makes it, it's because of you.

Yeah, J.J., we can't thank you enough.

Yeah, you really can't. [CHUCKLES]

But getting my 200 grand back,
that'll be a great start.

You mean the 200,000 you stole?

You know you got
to give that back, right?

- Yeah...
- ROBYN: But you know what?

You do deserve a reward.

What do you think, Dante?

Well, we did seize a lot of cash
from Benson's operation.

I think $200,000 is appropriate.

You're not playing with me now, right?

No. And this time, you earned it.

Oh, thank you, man. [CHUCKLES]

But you know I was up a half a
million at that blackjack table.

[PHONE RINGING]

[CHUCKLES]

No, I'm serious.

It's the hospital. Excuse me.

ROBYN: So, listen...

That reward money,

it'll be waiting for you
when you get out.

Or...

I can hold on to it for you
till you get your head straight.

I thought I b*at
that gambling bug, but...

[GRUNTS]

I guess I still got some work to do.

Yeah, well, one day at a time.

Nothing changes overnight.
You'll get there.

I was ready to turn over
a new leaf for Bertha, but...

...now that's gone.

You can't do it for anyone else, J.J.

It won't stick.

You got to feel it from here, but...

you got it in you.

Hey, have you ever thought about
becoming a motivational speaker?

Come on, time to go back to prison.

Hey. Damn.

Tim Robbins never started
his sessions like that.

ROBYN: You mean Tony Robbins?

J.J.?

Bertha?

She's real.

You're real.

Harry, you said that...

I was right. Uh, there
is no Bertha Mitchell

who owns property in
Vermont, but that's because

this isn't Bertha Mitchell.

Janine Carter.

It's nice to finally meet you.

You used a fake name.

Where's the trust?

Trust? She was writing
to a convicted conman.

Well, she's smart.

I like that in a woman.

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm... I'm-I'm great.

I'm okay. I-I'm more than okay.

Yeah, thanks. I'll check in again later.

Okay.

Garcia is gonna be okay.

[SIGHS] Great. I know you're relieved.

[SIGHS]

Thank you, Robyn.

This one meant a lot.

I'm just glad you were able
to keep your promise to her.

Me, too.

If I can't honor my commitments, well...

that's not the man I want to be.

Marcus...

You know, no matter how
this would've turned out,

you're not your father. You understand?

I hope so.

You are a decent human being.

You honor your word.

You're a man I would trust with my life.

Thank you.

For always being there for me.

Showing up when it counts.

- About those drinks...
- Oh.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Clear your head.

You got a lot to process.

I'm not going anywhere.

Good.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[KEYS RATTLING]

You are home way too early.

What happened to drinks with Dante?

On hold for now.

And before you begin to lecture me,

it was him who pressed pause.

But it's all right.

All I know is,

if you wait around
making too many excuses,

life will pass you by.

[CHUCKLES]

You know, I met someone today.

And this guy had zero reason to believe

that things would work out
with him and this woman,

but he went on this
crazy roller-coaster ride...

and he really hung on.

And at the end of the day,

he got his happily ever after.

But you know it doesn't
always turn out happy.

Yeah, but sometimes you got
to take that leap of faith.

You make zero percent
of the sh*ts you don't take.

Oh, I love that quote.

Everybody always thinks MJ said it,

but it was actually Gretzky.

Thank you!

DELILAH: Hello, Mom.

Hey, baby girl. Come here.

Hi.

I got a call from your school today.

Your auntie told me

that some of these girls
been drinking hater-ade.

They showed me this IG account and...

I overreacted.

But Dee, in life, there's
always gonna be someone

who's gonna try to throw you
off your course.

Don't let them.

It usually means
you're doing something right.

ROBYN: Now, let me see this website.

Okay.

[ROBYN CHUCKLES]

"Dull-ilah"?

I wish my life was dull.

DELILAH: Turns out it's
not even so bad after all.

And most of the comments
are actually very nice.

Yeah? Let me see that.

"This is crazy.

"Dee is too busy making boss girl moves

- to stress over this mess."
- ROBYN: See?

- Yes.
- Some people know what time it is.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, also?

Peer counseling was so fun.

Y'all remember that girl
I was telling you about?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, so it turns out

she was self-conscious
because people kept whispering

and staring at her in the halls.

But I think I really helped her.

Well, what'd you tell her?

I gave her a song to sing in her head

to help build her confidence:
"Made You Look."

Oh, I love that song.
