05x12 - #IWasMadeInAmerica

[bunniefuu]

Previously on The Fosters...

JUDE: So, you ever heard of Declan Rivers?

That's who Eminent Power wants me to play with.

I think you shouldn't want to do it without me.

JESUS: What am I supposed to tell people?

That he's an in-class aide who's there to help you catch up on everything you've missed.

Why aren't you in class?
You're late. Let's go.

It's easier to be alone than it is to constantly be misunderstood.

- We've been, uh...
- We've been doing this wrong.

You used to do that all the time when we were married.

You'd forget to breathe. It used to scare the bejesus out of me.

XIMENA: Real enemies of free speech are flame throwers.

Like Shiloh McCullon.

Honestly, I don't see how I could finish my portfolio in time with everything that's going on with Ximena.

My DACA hasn't been renewed yet.

- What is this?
- That's apology fruit.

Just thought you should know that Olivia and I broke up.

Is there any way you'd give me another chance?

MARIANA: Do I have to answer you now?

DREW (ON PA): Students have voted "no" to Anchor Beach Academy.

(CHEERING)

Board still has the final vote tomorrow.

EMMA: Has Nick texted you again?

- MARIANA: I texted him.
- EMMA: Mariana, seriously?!

CALLIE: So you don't wanna just barge in and disrupt her speech.

Why not?

Well, because then it becomes a...

"Radical Protesters Interrupt Shiloh McCullon Event... "

Yeah, and we wanna use all the press she gets to draw attention to Ximena's situation.

Right? To put pressure on Immigration to give her a hearing.

A detention hearing?

No, a hearing to delay any actions until my DACA status is decided.

She can at least get out of this church until they figure everything out.

Okay, but Shiloh's supporters don't give a damn about Ximena.

They want to end DACA, and deport every undocumented person in the country.

Right, which is why we need press that goes beyond her audience.

We need something that's gonna resonate, you know, in a positive way.

I don't want you guys doing anything that'll get you arrested.

I mean it, Sean.

Don't lose your sh*t and do something stupid.

I won't.

And you, I mean, now that you've applied to your art school, you can't just focus on me.

You gotta get that portfolio done.

- I am!
- Well, how's it coming?

Good. Promise.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Stef!

Hi! I... I... I just wanted to drop this off as a thank you for checking in on Logan over the weekend.

Oh, thank you very much.

It was... it was really not a problem.

Dean and I had a great weekend away.

It was just what we needed to, you know, reconnect and... and get back on track.

- So...
- Good!

That's good! I'm... I'm glad you had a great time.

So, do you and Lena have any plans for your birthday?

It is your birthday this weekend, isn't it?

Yeah, it... it is.

How did... How'd... how'd you remember that?

(LAUGHS) I guess I'm just good that way, I guess.

Um, but if you're not doing anything, Dean and I would love to, you know, take you out to dinner.

Or... (CHUCKLES)

- I don't know.
- Well, that... (LAUGHS)

That's very sweet just Lena and I are... got a little something in the backyard.

That, um...

My friend, Jenna, her birthday is the day after mine, so we kinda always do a little something together, but it's usually mostly her friends.

But please! You... you guys should come by.

Bring Logan, of course, you know, um...

I will warn you, however, that it normally ends up being mostly gay women.

- (STEF LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)
- We'd love to!

LENA: Nick.

I was told you have information that can save Anchor Beach.

Is that true?

I don't, uh...

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't?

These texts say otherwise.

Contacting my daughter is a violation of the restraining order, not to mention, your parole.

- I just wanted to help.
- Help save the school? Really?

Do you have something?

Or were you just trying to lure Mariana here to see you?

I have something.

You better... or I'm sending these texts straight to your parole officer.

Everything you need is on this.

You could've just emailed this to Mariana.

I'm not allowed Internet access.

The file's too big to text.

- Mariana doesn't want to see you.
- I just want to apologize.

She doesn't want to see you!

She's made that very clear!

I know.

And I understand why.

I am truly sorry that I brought a g*n into your house.

First you brought a g*n into the school.

Then, you broke into my house,

- and you laid in wait.
- I was never gonna hurt her!

You threatened to k*ll yourself in front of my daughter.

You completely traumatized her, and you keep traumatizing her.

I'm sorry.

(SIGHS) If you were truly sorry, you would stop trying to contact her.

My dad's gonna k*ll me... for giving you that.

Nick, your father is part of the problem.

He's a bully.

He's abusive and now, he's your jailer?

You need to talk to your therapist, your... your parole officer, someone.

- There is no one.
- What about your mother?

I destroyed the model.

At the school.

- How?
- He took me there one day after therapy.

I said I had to go to the bathroom.

And I smashed it.

- Why?
- Because I hate him.

Hey, Taylor!

- So, I met Declan.
- Good for you.

Yeah, but check this out.

I told him I wouldn't game without you, so he got Eminent Power to sign you too.

What? Aren't you stoked?

I thought that's what you wanted...

You don't really want me to do this.

You just did it because I made you feel bad.

(SCOFFS) That's not true.

I mean, yeah, you did make me feel like a jerk, but I kinda was being a jerk.

Please? It won't be the same without you.

Okay, but...

won't I just be, like, the third wheel?

I won't let that happen.

You will not be left out. I promise.

And Declan's super cool.
You're gonna love him.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Okay.

Where is she?

- Hey!
- Hey.

Haven't seen you since...

Since you gave her an apology fruit salad?

Do you wanna go out with me?

Well, why don't you ask me and find out?

So... so you wanna go out with me?

Uh... how about tomorrow night?

No, I... I can't. It's my mom's birthday.

- What about Saturday?
- I'm working Saturday.

Sunday?

Teaching Pilates on Sunday.

Wait, you teach Pilates?

Yeah. Why?

No reason, I guess.

Well, how 'bout this?

You tell me whenever you figure out your schedule,

- when you wanna plan something.
- Deal.

Huh! Nicely played.

So what? You've decided on Wyatt?

No. I've decided that I don't need to decide.

It's all new, I mean, even with Mat, even though he's old, it's kind of new, if you get what I mean.

So I don't have to be exclusive to anyone.

So, are you going to tell them that you're seeing all of them?

I don't see why I have to.

It's not like they run in the same circles.

Anyone seen Lena?

- DREW: Not yet.
- She doesn't get a vote.

We've got all the votes we need, so this is just a formality.

- Let's do it.
- Alright.

Hey, what happened?

I'll explain later, honey.

LAUREN: All in favor of Anchor Beach charter dissolving...

LENA: Before you vote, there's something you need to know.

Is this necessary?

We all know how you feel.

Wait, what's that?

Blueprints for luxury condominiums on Anchor Beach.

Craig Stratos has no intention of building a school here.

He just wants the property so he can build high-end condos with an ocean view.

Anchor Beach Academy is a total sham.

Okay.

Yes, I had plans drawn up.

As a contingency.

CRAIG: If we want ABA to be great, we're gonna need a lot of capital.

So, once the vote was settled, I was gonna present the idea of relocating the campus.

And developing this property to fund an endowment for our school.

Don't fall for this.

He saw an opportunity to get his hands on ocean-front property, by making promises that I bet my life he never intended to keep.

There is no reason that ABA has to be on the beach.

A larger campus would be better, would allow more room to grow.

We should not let this derail us.

Now that we have full disclosure, I'm calling the vote.

All those in favor of Anchor Beach Academy, raise you hand.

MARIANA: You should have seen Stratos' face when Mama busted him.

Ooh, very proud of you.

Well, I got a big assist from Mariana.

What's gonna happen to Nick?

Well, I waited with him until his parole officer showed up.

And then he took him to a halfway house.

And what happens if he tries to call Mariana again?

Well, I'm getting a new number for one.

Mamas already know.

- That's a good idea.
- MARIANA: Yeah.

And Mariana did the right thing by coming to me first, and not going to see Nick.

So let that be a lesson to all of you.

So, is, uh, is that it?

No, actually, we would like to talk to you guys about Jesus.

We need to change the way that we've been treating him.

It's called "ableism."

We've been expecting him to control things that he can't, and keeping things from him that we assumed he couldn't handle.

Like what happened with the treehouse and with Emma.

We were just trying to protect him.

LENA: That's what we thought we were doing, but we were actually just underestimating him.

We weren't letting you be in charge of your own life.

STEF: So, going forward, we're all gonna need to be a little bit more patient, and honest, understanding.

We're gonna follow your lead, bud, but, uh, that means that you gotta let us know what you need.

- Yes?
- Okay.

Okay, back to homework.

Before electronics, please.

Jesus. Just, uh...

I wanted to let you know that I heard what you said about David being so awful, and I'm really sorry.

He will not be coming back.

Wait, so no... no para-professional?

Well, you still need someone to help you manage your homework

- and your classes.
- Can you do it?

Uh... yes.

- Yeah, okay, sure.
- Okay.

- Thanks, Mama.
- Yeah.

You sure you can do your job and keep an eye on Jesus?

(SIGHS) That's what I should have been doing all along.

It's unconscionable that they didn't make you principal.

Tell me about it.

You really think that you can keep working under Drew?

Yeah, what choice do I have?

What is this?

(SCOFFS) Jenna's list for the party.

(LAUGHS) All women.

- Big surprise.
- I so don't feel like celebrating this year.

I tried to get out of it, but you know Jen and birthdays.

You invite anyone?

Uh, Tess and Dean.

Just she... (SCOFFS) She showed up at the front door with a bottle of wine thanking us for keeping an eye on Logan, and then remembered that it was my birthday.

Asked what we were doing, you know, what am I gonna say?

They're right next door.

- Dean's gonna be the only guy there except the kids.
- (SCOFFS)

Well, should we invite Mike?

He and Ana are out of town.

Want me to... to ask Timothy?

(STAMMERING)

Sure, why not? (LAUGHING)

So, Tess say anything else?

- Oh my gosh!
- (LENA GIGGLES)

She said that she and Dean had a great time in Cabo, and... and things are back on track.

Mmm. What does that mean?

I think it means that no matter what she said to me at prom, she is not gay or whatever.

I think, really, honestly, I think she's just having... a little midlife crisis.

You've cleaned that pot three times, honey.

Really? Well, it's clean now.

- You coming up?
- Uh, yeah.

Just a minute.

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

Okay, so you can't really use your hands in derby, you gotta, like, really grind your butt into it.

- Oh, oh, like that.
- (MARIANA GIGGLES)

Okay, when are we gonna hang out?

Who said we were gonna hang out?

Oh, I... I thought you said that...

(LAUGHS) I'm playing.

I'd love to go out with you.

Okay.

Good.

But don't think just cause you live next door, you can just drop by whenever you want.

You wanna hang out, you gotta make a plan, so you're gonna need my new number.

Okay.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

You got a minute?

Sure.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

I really thought we were doing something that was gonna benefit the students, or some of them anyway.

I'm just, uh... embarrassed.

Look, I think we need to reset, and start over.

That sound good?

- Okay.
- Okay. (LAUGHS)

I've outlined your responsibilities.

You're in charge of student discipline, and student welfare, and everything else falls to me.

And I don't want us in constant disagreement.

We need to present a unified front.

So you can bring me whatever you like, but at the end of the day, the decisions will be mine.

GIRL: See you later!

- Hey.
- Hey.

You know, I was thinking about what you said.

And if you're willing to completely start over, then I'm in.

Alright, sweet.

Wanna do something tonight?

I... I can't.

It's my mom's birthday.

What about tomorrow?

Family thing.

- Sunday?
- Working.

- Next weekend?
- Two gigs out of town.

Okay, well...

I mean, I guess we could hang out if... you wanna come to my mom's birthday.

It won't be weird?

No. My family loves you.

Okay.

Can't wait.

- Hi.
- Hey.

This is just a little literature about traumatic brain injuries, so you can help better understand what Jesus is dealing with.

There's also a copy of his plan, and a list of accommodations as well.

Oh, uh...

What happened to his para-professional, David?

Uh, he... he didn't work out, so I'll be assisting Jesus.

Oh! Also, short-term memory is a problem for Jesus, so if you could please print out his homework assignments each day, and any in-class work expected for the following day

so he can be prepared, that'd be really helpful.

Yeah, sure.

Okay, uh, honey, where do you wanna sit?

Wait, are you... you're not gonna, like, sit with me in class, are you?

Well, I mean, not for all of them, unfortunately.

I have my own work to do, but...

I will drop in on your other classes

and see if you need anything.

- Is this good right here?
- Yeah, here's fine.

Okay.

(CHAIR SCRAPES LOUDLY)

So, we thought we could set up the green screen over there,

and Jude's moms said we can stream whenever we want.

This is gonna be so much fun, dude.

I can't wait to play with you.

Me too.

Uh, for all three of us to play.

- Let's do it!
- JUDE: Huh? Yeah!

- Hey.
- Hey!

Oh, hey, Declan, this is my boyfriend, Noah.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

JENNA: It's horrible out there.

I went out with this woman, Shane,

- who threw her back out,
- (PHONE CHIMES) reaching for a tortilla chip.

- (LENA SIGHS)
- (JENNA SCOFFS)

- _
- JENNA: This other chick, Dana?

- _
- JENNA: She tells me she collects baby dolls.

Oh my God! That is so sweet!

- Who's it from?
- Logan.

- (GASPS)
- What?

- _
- Um, ju... just, hold on!

JENNA: My God, woman, you're in your s.

Baby dolls! That's like a creepy, Midwestern nightmare.

- _
- Oh my God.

I didn't save anyone's contacts, and I totally just Loganned with Mat.

(LAUGHS)

Hey, honey, how was school? Do you have your homework?

Uh, I... I got some of my classes, but I forgot math.

(SIGHS EXASPERATEDLY)

- Craig is supposed to remember...
- What... what are you doing?

They're all supposed to be supporting you.

VOICEMAIL: Hi, you've reached Craig. Leave a message! (BEEP)

Hi! I'm "Girl."

I guess that makes me "Gay Guy."

And that's the other "Gay Guy."

The one who's still waiting for his glo up.

(SNICKERS) Harsh.

What? Puberty's gonna come any day now, I promise.

Yeah, well, at least I have room to glo, what's your excuse?

Yo! Girl likes the Trillabong?

That's literally my favorite character.

TAYLOR: Shocking. You have taste.

- That ain't all I got.
- Don't give it to me, whatever it is.

- Oh!
- (TAYLOR LAUGHS)

JUDE: Hey, let me in.

DECLAN: Chill, man, you're not needed for this.

Just go play with yourself.

I mean, uh, by yourself.

(DECLAN LAUGHS)

(SCREAMING IN VIDEO GAME)

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

STEF: Who are all of these people, Jenna?

I told everyone that they had to invite a single friend.

Because after all, (CLICKS TONGUE) I'm on the market.

Some of these gals a little young for you?

Yeah, well, I read that at our age, you gotta start making younger friends, otherwise, when you actually do get old, everybody you know will be dead.

And then, you'll be all alone.

There's a comforting thought, Jenna.

Mmm. Lighten up.

Have a drink.

I'm gonna go get a drink.

- Do you need anything?
- Uh, no, I'm good for now.

Okay.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Oh! Hi!

I'm Jenna.

The birthday girl.

I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

Theresa, and happy birthday.

So, are you here for me,

or for Stef?

- Um, Stef.
- Aw, that's too bad.

So, how do you know the old life of the party?

(LAUGHS) I live next door.

Oh, I see!

Well, the next time I'm visiting, I might just have to...

stop by, and uh...

borrow a cup of sugar.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Hey, Stef. Happy birthday.

Hey! Thank you.

Sorry that you are the only male in sight.

- No worries.
- (STEF LAUGHS)

What man wouldn't want to be at a party full of beautiful ladies?

Yeah.

Um, how was Cabo? Did you guys have a good time?

Yeah. Great.

- Hey!
- Hey.

So... who did you have an amazing night with?

- Logan!
- Your mom invited me and my folks.

Oh! I... I didn't know.

- I'm Mat.
- Oh, yeah, I remember you from the prom.

You're the ex-boyfriend, right?

The whole time I'm worried about Taylor being the third wheel, and then, suddenly, I'm the one who's left out?

You gotta stick up for yourself next time.

Hey, don't be scared to give it back to Declan.

Make him pay attention to you.

I don't know, dude. She called the teacher at home.

Okay, I know that she's trying to help me out and all, but having a mom in class is way worse than a para.

Well, remember what Moms said.

I mean, how they're trusting you to tell them stuff.

How am I supposed to tell Mama she's bugging?

So, um, what's the deal with your neighbor, Theresa?

Tell me she's single.

No, she's not single. She's straight and she's married.

She's... she's married to that guy... that guy.

And, so? How married is she?

She's married. Married married!

- What do you mean, "How married is she?"
- Oh, please.

I was married married to Kelly.

She was cheating on me!

Yeah, well, go figure.

- Well...
- TESS: Happy birthday!

- Uh, happy birthday, Stef.
- Thank you.

Appreciate it, Tess. You've met Jenna.

Yes! Yes, I have.

Hi.

Uh, is there any more champagne?

- Yeah.
- Oh my God!

Remember that time we got so smashed at your sixteenth birthday?

- (CHUCKLES)
- That was champagne, right?

- Well... no.
- No, it was Champale.

- Yeah.
- JENNA: Wait, wait.

You two knew each other when you were ?

Yeah, we were best friends for a few years.

- Inseparable really.
- Oh, whoa.

Whoa! Wait!

You're Tess Tess.

I have heard so much about you!

- Really?
- Not that much.

(STEF CLEARS THROAT)

Um, well, you know, it's... it's getting a little chilly out here, I think I'll just run next door and grab a scarf.

- Sure!
- Okay, be sure to come back.

Yes, I will. Oh...

Thanks. Here, hold that.

So that's the Tess you were in love with in high school.

The one you used to sleep in the same bed with, and, okay, that explains the vibe I was getting.

What vibe is that?

The bi-curious one, cause she's totally into me.

I can't. I... I can't.

Oh, Logan, will you run to our house and just grab my scarf?

I think I left it by the front door.

Thank you.

So, that's the "amazing night" guy?

Yes.

But in my defense, I had no idea he was gonna be here.

His parents are friends with my moms,

- and he lives next door, so...
- Next door?

Great.

WYATT: Hey.

I was just dropping this off.

Your mom told me to come in.

Hey!

- Is that a calendar?
- Yeah.

Yeah, it's a calendar.

You told me to let you know when I knew my schedule, so I wrote down everything that I'm doing every day for the next months.

"Friday: Save the Dolphins."

"Saturday: Fix Climate Change."

"Sunday... "

- "Mariana Fun Day."
- Yeah.

- Ambitious.
- I like setting the bar pretty high.

- LOGAN: Oh! Hey!
- WYATT: Hey!

- What's your name again? Wilson?
- Wyatt.

Wyatt, right, right.

And you're the pretend ex from prom, right?

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Yeah.

LOGAN: Oh, okay, cool.

Okay, listen.

All of you asked me out, and it's all new and nothing serious yet, or again, and... yeah, I... I just... I don't see why I can't date all of you.

You know? Not like at the same time, but, like, one on one.

Okay, if you're not cool with that, I totally understand, but I just... I'm not ready to be tied down.

- I'm cool with that.
- Yeah, I'm down.

- Hey.
- Hey!

You taking a break from the party?

Yeah, I, uh, kinda felt a little out of place.

Well, I'm gonna go change, and then come back down and you can hang with me.

Okay.

Um, were you just with Ximena?

No, I was, uh, just doing some work at the art studio at school.

Wait, isn't she the one who's against DACA?

Yeah, uh, we're going to an event of hers tomorrow in Orange County.

Um, why?

Hey, so, um, I need to talk to you about something.

Nobody wants to go to Drew about this, because, uh...

- well, nobody likes him.
- (CHUCKLES)

Did you know he was going to initiate merit-based bonuses?

Unbelievable.

So this is why he called the board meeting for tomorrow.

Anyway, no one can stand that son of a bitch, so... that's why they came to me.

Lena, all the teachers trust you, and believe in you, but... you're overstepping.

You can't be a parent, and an administrator at the same time.

I mean, we wouldn't allow a parent just to come in and sit in class with their child whenever they wanted to.

And what makes it worse is that... you're our boss.

Okay, well, I'm sorry, but I've got to do what I have to do here.

I have to fight for my son.

Alright, okay, sure, but...

then why don't you fight for yourself?

- What does that mean?
- You should be principal.

Not Drew. He's a d*ck!

He almost sold the whole school down the river.

(STAMMERS)

Why are you standing for this?

I don't have a choice.

I don't think that's true.

I'm sorry, I... I...

can't just, like, pretend I don't mind you dating other guys.

Especially Wyatt.

And you keep saying we're starting over, it's all new, but we're not really new.

I already know I love you.

And we've already been, you know, together.

Once.

Then you dumped me the next day, right here on this swing.

(SIGHS) Look, Mat...

I'm sorry, I just...

I can't just dive back in.

The only way I'm even willing to consider this is slowly.

♪ Breathe without you here now... ♪

Okay.

♪ Take it back or walk the other way ♪

♪ Bring me in and let's drift away... ♪

- Fine.
- Oh, come on, guys!

- Stop it!
- Don't be a bummer.

We'll do that later.

Okay, where are my bubbles?

Ooh, I spy bubbles.

- JENNA: Oh, sweet.
- (TESS LAUGHS)

More champagne, Jenna, really?

It's bubbles, Stef.

And hey, don't worry, I didn't drive.

Dean?

Uh, no thank you, I'm pretty good.

I am exhausted.

Let's go upstairs.

We can leave them here. It's fine.

It's not fine.

I have no idea what Jenna's gonna do when we're not around.

- Alright.
- Whoo.

Stef? Happy birthday.

I... I'm calling it. I got to go to bed.

- Awww.
- Tess, Tess, you should stay.

You know what? I think that we should all go to bed.

(LAUGHS)

So, how about, um, you all go to bed, and we all just finish our drinks?

And then we'll let ourselves out?

Jenna, when I say the party's over, the party's over.

You didn't say the party's over.

You said that everybody should go to bed.

- Jenna.
- DEAN: Honey, we should go.

It was so nice to meet you, Jenna.

(LAUGHS) We should have dinner sometime.

Um, the three of us, I mean.

Yes! Oh, I would love that.

I don't have many friends left in San Diego, so maybe on a Wednesday?

- That's when Dean has his poker night.
- Perfect.

- Thank you.
- Goodnight.

- Bye.
- Have a good night.

Party pooper.

- Jenna, it's : AM.
- (GATE CLOSES)

I'm exhausted, okay?

I told you that I didn't want a party.

But you know, as always, it's about you.

And you know, FYI, not everyone is into you.

I don't think everyone is into me.

(SCOFFS) Please. You think that tree is into you.

Okay, where is this coming from?

From your inappropriate behavior.

How am I inappropriate?

In absolutely every way that I can think of!

You were blatantly flirting with Tess in front of her husband.

I mean, that's embarrassing to us, not to mention, incredibly disrespectful.

You would think that since someone broke up your marriage, that you would give a damn about

- doing that to someone else's.
- Stef.

Is there anything else?

No, I'm good.

I guess I'll wait for the car outside.

I think that that would be best.

What was that about?

I am tired.

And I just... I cannot deal with her anymore.

Are you sure it's not more than that? What is going on?

Nothing! I am fine!

She... (STAMMERS)

I would like to go to bed.

And I will clean all this up tomorrow.

SHILOH: And % of illegals are committing violent crimes against American citizens.

That's total crap.

SHILOH: Bottom line, my friends, the time has come to close our borders.

And return this nation to its rightful place as the greatest country in the world.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you, alright.

Let's open the floor to questions.

Yes! Good morning. Hi!

WOMAN: Good morning. Uh, it just seems to me that the problem is getting worse and worse over time.

SHILOH: Absolutely.

Okay, less cute gay guy.

Get ready.

"Less cute gay guy?"

Well, yeah.

We gotta give the fans a way to differentiate between us.

Get ready to be eminently dominated.

Yeah, you wish.

I do wish.

- Um...

get a room, you two.

DECLAN: I just did.

JUDE: Hey, got room for me in there?

Always, baby.

(SCREAMING IN VIDEO GAME)

Um, okay, I'll just... fight while... you two do whatever it is you gay guys do.

SHILOH: Hello.

Uh, earlier... you said that the DACA repeal would protect communities from criminals.

Mm-hmm.

So, you're implying that DACA puts our nation at risk of crime?

- (CROWD AGREEING)
- SHILOH: That's right, and the statistic bear me out.

That's not true.

(CROWD BOOING)

You can't get DACA if you have any significant criminal record.

Out of , DACA recipients, less than one percent have lost their permits because of criminal activity.

- (CROWD BOOING)
- SHILOH: Okay, alright, thank you everyone.

Did you have a question for me, or do you just wanna spin numbers?

My friend Ximena Sinfuego has been living in a church, because her DACA status is in question.

ICE has already detained her parents.

(CROWD SHOUTING SUPPORT FOR ICE)

Ximena Sinfuego came here when she was two years old!

She hasn't even been back to Mexico.

Okay, okay.

I'm gonna ask you one more time before we have you removed.

Do you have a question for me?

- Yeah, I do.
- Okay.

(CROWD MURMURING INDISTINCTLY)

(BOOING)

What is an American?

What makes you an American?

And me an American?

But not Ximena?

Who has lived here her entire life, gone to school, graduated, worked, paid taxes, and loves this country just as much as anyone who was born here.

This...

is an American.

DREW: So, teachers deliver good numbers, they see good numbers on their checks.

- Now...
- Can we help you?

First of all, merit-based bonuses are crap.

They incentivize teachers to teach to the test, and promote the worst instincts in educators.

DREW: Lena... we talked about this. This is my decision.

Yeah, Drew, you're right, we did talk about this.

But I founded this charter.

And it was nearly turned into luxury condos, because most of you were foolish enough to believe in Craig Stratos.

I saved you all a world of humiliation and embarrassment by exposing him.

I have given this school my heart and soul.

I have led with integrity since the beginning.

And I am tired of being overlooked and taken for granted.

So, Drew needs to be fired.

Lauren, you need to resign.

And I need to be given the job that I've earned, which is principal of this school.

Or I'll leave.

And so will nearly every teacher at Anchor Beach.

You don't believe me, you can just ask them.

Here's a petition signed by more than three-quarters of the faculty.

I mean, it... it's so powerful.

So, any new art pieces for your portfolio?

No...

I'm, like, completely blocked.

So, I... I don't know, I can't get inspired.

Yeah, I don't think you're blocked at all.

What about that?

I mean, is it good enough?

Are you kidding me?

Hell yes, it is.

That's your problem.

You're so worried about making good art that you freeze up.

But when you get out of your head, and you don't try to make art, art happens.

Noah, come on.

You're overreacting.

You know what? Give him whatever you want.
