04x09 - #Obsessed

[bunniefuu]

[Grace] The w*r of
was a conflict between...

[Jonah] Uh, the US and the UK.
[Grace] Over?

[Tiny] Trade restrictions.
[Grace] Fought in?

- Uh, three separate theaters.
- And the result was a...

- Uh...
- I know you know this.

Um...

Uh, stalemate?

[chuckles] Yes!
You're totally gonna pass this exam.

I need a to graduate.

[imitates Grace] "You'll totally
get a on this exam, Zig."

- How did you even get so far behind?
- [coughs] Esme.

- Oh yeah, well...
- Dude.

Have you guys even talked
since the breakup?

She's keeping a low profile.

- [scoffs] Good riddance.
- Can we just get back to studying?

- I'm b*at.
- Uhhuh.

- Can I get a lift?
- [Grace] Yeah. What about you, Zigmund?

No, you can't go. The exam's tomorrow.

Yeah, so is prom. Gotta be well-rested.

Yeah. We're not cramming anything else
into our brains tonight.

Says you. You can stay if you want.

Really? Just... just you and me?
Are you sure?

Yeah, are you sure? [laughs]

Yeah, I think we can
control ourselves.

Where do you wanna start?

[sighs] Um...

[Maya sighs] Oh.

[both chuckle]

Hey.

[Zig grunts]

Uh, sorry for, um...

this.

Well, it's old habits, I guess.
[chuckles]

Yeah, I should probably
change my clothes before the exam.

But, anyway, thanks for...
for everything.

- [stammers] The studying, I mean...
- [laughs]

- Okay. See ya.
- Bye.

What? [sighs]

[Zoë over PA] Now we've reached
our happily ever after.

To celebrate, pick up your prom tickets
in student council.

If Siri knows the capital of Finland,
then why do we have to memorize it?

They need to make something up
to keep us here for four years.

Well, if I survive this exam,
we're definitely celebrating tonight.

- We're volunteering at prom.
- Not my first choice, but sign me up.

Um, I'm not sure
they'd be cool with it.

Who's they?

[sighs] Yael.

[speaking indistinctly]

- So she's changed her name?
- She changed her pronoun.

Yael's using "they" and "them,"
instead of "she" and "her."

That's ridiculous.

[scoffs] And that's
why you're not going.

"They" is plural.
Yael's not two people. Right, Baaz?

She... I mean, they seem happy,
so does it matter what we call... them?

Okay. So I'm the bad guy
for breaking up with her, then?

- Them.
- She is the

- They.
- Is the one who changed.

[sighs]

Why can't we just go back to hanging out
like we used to

before me and Yael were together?
I mean, I barely see you guys anymore.

Yael's friends need to support Yael
because Yael's boyfriend didn't.

Was I supposed to pretend
everything was the same?

Yael's still the same person
on the inside.

And if you loved that person before,
why can't you love them now?

Okay. Uh, volunteers arrive at : ,
and then dinner starts at : .

Hey! For the last time, no peeking!

Just tell me! Will Rasha
and I win prom queen?

You'll find out later tonight
with the rest of us.

Just be grateful you have a date.

- Me and Miles are flying solo.
- [Miles] Oh, I'm not going.

- You're skipping prom?
- [Zoë] But what about Tristan?

He broke up with me, remember?

Oh, yeah, so you can go
to your fancy writing school.

Yeah, which I can't afford because
my dad thinks writing is a phase.

And because you haven't asked him yet.

Once people make up their minds,
you can't change them. Right, Zo?

I'm still hoping my mom will change
her mind about me before graduation.

If you want your dreams to come true,
you have to work for them.

So you, you talk to your dad.

And you gotta figure stuff out
with your mom.

And we'll all live happily ever after.

[chuckles]

Well, it's tonight's theme.

And the only way
Goldi will ever forgive me.

- [Zig sighs]
- Pencils down.

[laughs] Whoo!

- I think I messed up, man.
- That's what summer school's for.

No, not with the exam. With Maya.
Something happened after everyone left.

- You had sex?
- No. We... cuddled.

You mean arm all the way around?
Did you use protection?

- [chuckles] What's the big deal?
- She's had such a tough year and...

[stammers] I just broke up with Esme.

[sighs] If I do nothing,
we end as friends.

Hey.

- How'd the exam go?
- Uh, fingers crossed. You?

Same. So, do you maybe wanna go
to prom together?

- Sure.
- [sighs] Okay.

- What now?
- A corsage is always nice.

[Tiny chuckles]

[sighs] You are so lucky
you're going to prom.

- Tiny's gonna love you in this dress.
- [Shay] It shows every curve.

[Frankie] Which is exactly
why he'll love it.

What do you think, Hunter?

- I'll keep my opinion to myself.
- That's it. I'm gonna go change.

Seriously?

I thought boys weren't allowed to
have opinions on the way girls looked.

You're still freaking about Yael?

Baaz and Vijay think I'm a bad guy
for breaking up with her... them.

And so do you.

What if Jonah were to grow boobs
and cut off his penis?

Then I'd have nothing
to fantasize about.

But Yael hasn't
done anything so drastic.

She... They is still
a girl, biologically.

So would it really be that different
if you guys hung out?

Or made out?

- I don't know.
- Well, you better find out

before she starts making out
with someone else.

[Grace sighs] Literally any other tie.

It... it's a statement piece.
Come on, you love it.

- It's a statement piece.
- [both laugh]

Do we have an extra seat in our limo?
I, um... have a date.

Oh. Who's the lucky girl?

- Hey, guys.
- Oh.

So what time are you picking me up
for prom?

- [sighs] Esme, we broke up.
- Sure, but we never said

we weren't going to prom together.

- We're not going to prom together.
- Why not?

He's going with someone else.

Who?

[scoffs] It's Maya, isn't it? Of course.

- So are you gonna get back together?
- Okay.

- Look, we're just going as friends.
- But you wanna get back together?

- That's not what this is about.
- Of course that's what this is about!

It's prom!

How could you do this to me?
We were together for a year!

Things just got...

- a little intense.
- But you still love me?

[both mouthing] No.

Well, you can't just turn that
off, right? Uh, but I need some space.

- You said I could count on you.
- You can.

If you ever need anything, I'm here.

[softly] Okay.

[sighs]

I think that went well.

[Mr. Hollingsworth]
Where's the tux, Miles?

- Isn't tonight prom?
- I'm not going.

Tristan... He broke up with me.

He didn't want me to give up
that writing program in London for him.

Oh.

You got in, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

[sighs] I know that
you don't support it, but...

I was hoping that you could
support me... at least for a while.

You're cashing in
your tickets to Europe?

That's $ , .

Working as a lifeguard will
give me another five.

Leaving a $ , deficit.

Which I need to borrow,
and I've attached a payback schedule.

That covers the first year. Then what?

I work hard.
I... I qualify for financial aid.

[sighs]

Some people think that I can make
a difference with my writing.

I'd like to try.

[sighs] You always choose
the hard path, huh?

You know you have a trust.

That I can't access until I'm .

We could change that.

Seriously?

You've grown up so much
over the last two years, you know.

Overcoming addiction...

and being there for Tristan.

The play.

I'm proud of you.

- You've never said that before.
- [sighs]

Go to your writing school.
But there is one condition.

- Don't miss the prom.
- [chuckles]

You know, I skipped mine and...
I've always regretted it.

Jon Snow and Daenerys cannot be endgame.
She's his aunt!

Okay, but Sansa's his cousin.
That's not right, either.

[Hunter] Hey.

What are you doing here?

- We told him not to come.
- I'll leave if they wants.

No, you can stay.

Um, I'm gonna go find out what's going
on. We've been waiting here long enough.

I'll grab you a uniform, too.

- Welcome to the club. [chuckles]
- Oh, I'm not gay. I like girls.

Oh, Yael's not a girl anymore.

- She's not a guy, either.
- [Baaz] So what does that make you?

- Bi?
- Poly, I think.

[Lola] Is that like pan?

- I'm always confused about that one.
- I don't think we have that in Syria.

Okay, could we just stop talking
about stupid labels

and just try and have a normal night?

Um, they said just wait here. I
don't know, everyone kinda seems tense.

I guess student council hasn't
figured out our assignments yet.

Typical government disorganization.

[police siren wailing]

Um, what's going on?

This is definitely not normal.

- Oh, you look so handsome, Zig.
- Uh, thanks.

[Maya] Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm coming.

[camera shutter clicking]

Aw, I'm gonna cry.

[both chuckle]

Oh, my phone is dead.
Okay, I'm gonna grab my charger.

Orchids. My favorite.

Let's...

- [camera shutter clicks]
- [chuckles]

Oh, uh, do you mind not posting that?

Esme's not really thrilled
we're going together.

Okay. Is this, like,
crazy that we're doing this?

No.

I always pictured
going to prom with you.

Yeah. Me, too. [chuckles]

Aw, you guys.

[both chuckle]

[camera shutter clicking]

- [Maya chuckles]
- [cell phone vibrates]

Oh.

Is that the limo? Okay. Wrap it up.
Everyone's probably waiting outside.

- No, it's not the limo.
- [sighs]

Prom's on hold.
Apparently there was a b*mb thr*at.

[indistinct chatter]

This is crazy.
Someone wants to blow up prom?

It's probably a prank,
like at the winter dance.

It wasn't a prank in Belgium.

- You think !sis cares about our prom?
- [Hunter] Doesn't matter.

- They're gonna cancel it. We should go.
- Strongly agree.

The b*mb could explode at any moment.

Wait. I... I think I know something.

No, they don't.

You don't.

[sighs]

- Don't do this.
- [sighs]

[Saad] What's going on?

- Okay. Come with me.
- What is happening?

[officer] Hang on, son.
We've got some questions for you.

- [Lola] He didn't do anything.
- I didn't do anything wrong.

He didn't do anything!
[breathing heavily]

[engine starts]

How are they still investigating?
It's been an hour.

They can't cancel prom.

Can we just forget about it
and go get burgers?

[stammers] We should wait
and see what happens.

But what if the thr*at's real?
Should we risk it?

Well, we only get one prom. Besides,
who would do something like this?

A crazy ex-girlfriend?

- [Jonah chuckles]
- What about that Syrian guy?

Saad? He's not a t*rror1st.

He lost his cool with Zig. Plus,
he got pretty upset at that protest.

Oh, okay, so next step, blow up prom?

[Jonah] Well, some
volunteers were posting

that the police were questioning him.

It's surprising
what people are capable of.

[Zig sighs]

[scoffs]

What? I just want
to see if she's okay.

[cell phone chimes]

Oh, yeah, she definitely looks okay
in that pic.

That pic. Oh.

- [scoffs] Wow, that pic...
- Okay. Enough.

Zoë just texted. Prom's back on.

- All right! Let's go pick up my girl.
- Nice. All right.

Okay, cool. Everyone in the limo.

[speaking indistinctly]

It's like a real-life fairy tale.

Make sure you check
out the magic mirror.

- It predicts your future.
- Oh.

Where will we be in ten years?

- Together, I hope.
- [both laugh]

[sighs]

- You throw a k*ller bash, Chewy.
- You came!

So Dad said yes to school?
So no backpacking in Europe.

Oh, I'm going to do that, too.

And I've got an extra ticket,
if you'd like to come.

Oh, I... I don't know.
I'm pretty swamped this summer.

- Yes! Definitely.
- [laughs]

Where's Tris? I wanna tell him.

Oh, he's not... He's not coming.
Maybe he had nothing to wear.

So, I guess it's just you and me, bro.

You did all this?

Well, they were your ideas.
I just ex*cuted them.

I'm sorry I couldn't be your knight
when you needed one.

Maybe you could be my Prince Charming.
At least until midnight.

[chuckles]

Okay.

[sighs]

Oh, my God.

How do they even do that?

Important text?

- Um...
- It's okay.

- You don't have to tell me.
- Uh, it's uh...

- It's Esme.
- She wants to talk.

Well, I'm... not sure
that's all she wants, but yeah.

[sighs] Well, um...
I mean, if you want to go...

Oh, no, no.
I... I wanna be here with you.

- But you feel guilty.
- I just feel like I owe her something.

I mean, without her,
I never would've gotten over you.

Oh, so you're over me? Does
that mean you're not up for a dance?

I'm always up for a dance with you.

Didn't mean to scare you.

[chuckles]

Doctor said you went out for a swim.

- Shouldn't you be at prom?
- Didn't feel right.

The person I care most about is here.

Now, I know we're broken up...

but...

will you go to prom with me?

[chuckles] I got an extra ticket.
I brought you a tux.

I'm leaving to Europe next week
and then staying for school.

- You're doing the writing program?
- Yeah.

So I'd like to spend
whatever time I have left together.

[chuckles]

I, um...

I can't.

- Okay. I respect that.
- No, it's not 'cause I don't want to.

It's just that I've
been having a bad day.

I don't know if I could handle
the sensory overload. [chuckles]

Well, then, we'll
have to have prom here.

[both chuckle]

I wouldn't be the person
I am today without you.

Ditto.

How do we say goodbye?

We don't.

We just dance.

[upbeat music playing]

- Who's next?
- There's no line. Let's do it.

We're supposed to be serving.

Oh, it's in between courses.
No one's gonna notice. It'll be fun.

- Uh, tiara?
- I'm good, thanks.

Hi.

[camera clicking]

Okay. One for you
and one for your boyfriend.

- That's not my boyfriend.
- It doesn't matter, Hunter.

- I should've known you were a girl.
- Oh, she's not a girl, either.

- It's really no big deal.
- Then why'd you do it?

- Do what?
- [scoffs] This.

Everything was perfect
until you had to go and mess it up.

This is who I am.

- It's not normal.
- There is no normal!

And I'm not the problem. You are.

[upbeat music playing]

[slow song playing]

Ooh! [giggles]
Hey, your dancing has improved.

Yours hasn't.

Kiss!

[chuckles] Thanks, Grace. Real helpful.

[Esme] You blocked me?

You said you would never leave me,
and then you blocked me.

- Esme, calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down!

Do you think I care about stupid prom?

Zig.

Maybe I should just k*ll myself!
Make you all happy.

- Esme, stop saying stuff like that.
- [voice breaking] Then talk to me.

Please.

Go, it's okay.

I'll be right back.

[breathing heavily]

Esme!

[panting]

I'm so glad you came.

- Whoa! What are you doing?
- Anything you want.

- No. You said you wanted to talk.
- We've talked enough.

We've always been better
when we weren't talking.

No, I don't want to kiss you!

- Fine, no kissing.
- Whoa.

- I'll make you forget all about Maya.
- Stop acting crazy!

I thought that's how
you wanted your girls!

You are so messed up.
How did I stay with you for so long?

You can't leave!

This isn't over!

It is for me.

I hate you! I hate you!

- I hate you! I hate you! I hate...
- [grunting]

[grunting]

[crying] Oh, my God.

[breathing heavily]

Oh, my God.

[sad song playing]
