03x13 - Making a Metamour

[bunniefuu]

TONY: We got it! Did you get it?

No, I didn't get it.
The camera wasn't recording.

CLAIRE: And you betrayed us, Marianna.

We don't need any of that

in our business or in our friendships.

I can't believe I'm starting
over, looking for a new job.

Kathleen Gale's office. : , yes.

Monday the th? I'll let
her know you called.

You don't happen to need
a job, by any chance?

Uh, what are you doing?

I work here now.

- You're not taking him out of this classroom.
- Step aside.

Me and a few of the other RJ kids

decided to start this petition

to get the cops out of our school.

I'm leaving the country for six months.

(SHOUTS) This is not
what I asked you to paint!

It's your cut from the painting I sold.

Watching you sign your name

onto the pieces that I create,

that's not my dream.

DAVIA: Dennis is back at the Coterie,

but we are not together.

I really like someone else,

if someone else is willing
to be patient with me

while I sort my sh*t out.

GAEL: She's pregnant, the baby's mine,

and she's going to stay
as long as she needs to.

We're here for you both.

We having a Coterie baby!

(ALL CHEERING)

I know things are much more
complicated now, but...

CALLIE: I'm used to complicated.

("EL MOVIMIENTO" BY NOVA MARIEE PLAYING)

GAEL: I should always get up this early.

I'm always up this early.

GAEL: Weirdo.

Slacker.

Worth it though, right?

(DOOR OPENS)

(RETCHING)

(ISABELLA VOMITING)

ISABELLA: Oh, my God.

(MOUTHING) Is she...

You should maybe...

(TOILET FLUSHES)

Hey. You okay?

I'm fine. Morning sickness.

Uh, how about some ginger and tea?

Okay.

Come on.

Aren't you gonna turn off the water?

(SHOWER TURNS OFF)

You should finish taking
your shower. I'm... I'm fine.

- No, it's okay, it's okay.
- Really, I don't... I...

- I really...
- Let's... Let's go get you that tea.

(WHISPERS) I'm so sorry.

Ah, he's back.

You forget something?
Your humility maybe?

So I'll take you up on that check

and the arrangement you suggested

if it's still on the table.

What changed your mind?

_

I'm gonna be a father.

Huh.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Hey, it's working.

We've got kids to
sign the petition so far,

and we're doing this
zombie protest at lunch.

You know, to show that
we're the walking dead

as long as we still got
police in our schools.

That's amazing. I love that.

I'm really proud of you, Andre.

Thanks. Now, I've got to go see a guy

about some fake blood.

Uh, maybe... maybe no blood. Maybe.

Later, Ms. M.

- Hey, man.
- Hey, Mr. G.

- MATT: Hi.
- My gosh, Andre is so pumped up.

He's engaged, and I think it's all
because of Restorative Justice.

- That's so great.
- I know!

(DAVIA CLEARS THROAT)

Friends hug, right?

Totally.

And we're coworkers, so we're,
like, doubly down to hug.

Yeah. (CLEARS THROAT)

Okay, here's where we are
with the Tommy Sung case.

Because you couldn't get the dummy
to fall and dislodge the rock,

at least not on camera.

Dr. Mickelson is preparing a
computer simulation of the fall.

It's no smoking g*n.

But, remember, we just have to
prove reasonable doubt and...

Sorry to interrupt, um,

DA Adler is on line one.

Take a message.

We also have the issue
of this beer bottle

that was found in a bush
near the top of the drop-off

with Tommy's fingerprints on it,

which does not look good for us,

especially since Tommy

told the police, in his statement,

that he was nowhere near the drop-off.

- So I think that...
- Sorry.

Uh, Mr. Rubin's calling
about his court date.

I will call him back.

You know, why don't you

just answer the phones from in here,

so you don't have to keep
going back and forth?

Oh. Okay.

I'll just put this right here.

Carry on.

Which brings us to the kids
you're interviewing today.

Some of them saw Tommy and
Zack fighting at the party.

You need to encourage them

to reconsider their
statements to the police.

You said you saw a fight
between Zack and Tommy.

Could it have just been
them horsing around?

It didn't look like horsing around.

Well, did either of them throw a punch?

I don't think so.

I've been at tons of parties

where guys get drunk,
get a little physical.

It's hard to call it a fight.

It looked like a fight.

(PHONE BUZZING)

Anything to drink? Water? Soda?

No, thanks.

Right this way.

(SNIFFS)

_

Were you drunk or high that night?

No, I don't do that sh*t.

Ask them if Zack was drunk.

Zack seemed like a really fun guy.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, he
was the life of the party.

Maybe he had a history
of having one too many.

Big drinker. Am I right?

Oof, man, he could put them away.

So it would be no surprise to anyone

if he fell off the drop.

Sloppy at parties?

No, no, no. He, uh...

He held his liquor really well.

Wow! You must work out.

Is there anyone else who might
have had a problem with Zack?

Tommy was devastated
when Coach replaced him

with Zack as starting quarterback.

Players get moved around all the time.

It's no big deal, right?

But we were gearing up
for scouting season.

Starters get almost all the playtime.

I would've been upset.

Upset enough to hit him
over the head with a rock

and push him down a ravine?

Mm, I don't know about that.

KATHLEEN: Maybe there's someone
who had a beef with Zack.

Is there anyone else who might
have had a problem with Zack?

Anyone else? To show the police

they didn't investigate other suspects.

Made a rush judgment.

Uh, I can't think of anyone.

Everyone liked Zack.

Everyone liked Zack.

Everyone liked Zack.

You're also interviewing
Tommy's girlfriend, Katie,

and she is the closest
thing we have to an alibi.

Tommy's the sweetest guy.

KATHLEEN: We need her to confirm
that he's a teddy bear,

that he could never hurt Zack.

KATIE: That's why I love him.

I've never seen him get mad
or violent or anything.

Try to get her to remember

that Tommy never left her side.

So to confirm,

Tommy was with you the whole night?

Well, most of the night.

The only exception being the beer run.

Well, I mean, it was a party.

We weren't together
the whole time. Sorry.

Did you see the fight
between Tommy and Zack?

No, they were always
messing around like that.

Nothing serious.

Do you know of anyone else
who had any issues with Zack?

So, no?

Zack was a great guy.

Did anything else happen at the party?

Anything unusual involving Zack?

No. I'm sure it was an accident.

I can't believe the police
think Tommy did this.

They were best friends.

I know Tommy, okay?
I know he's innocent.

(PHONE BUZZING)

_

MALIKA: Hi, excuse me,
will you sign this petition?

DYONTE: Hi, sir, how are you
doing? That's a nice hat.

Can I interest you in...

Have a great day, man.

Hi. Would you like
to sign this petition?

Let your representatives know
you care about budget reform?

This shifts the focus
from policing, prosecution,

jail, and probation.

... to mental health care, housing,

and substance abuse treatment centers.

Is this about defunding the police?

Yes, defunding,

but reallocating that money
to community-based solutions.

Without jails, what will we do
with the violent criminals?

Well, we focus on prevention.

Our criminal justice system

doesn't address the power imbalances

or structures that allow these
crimes to happen in the first place.

DYONTE: You're wondering,

"How can there be real
consequences without jail?"

And there can be.

Healing justice. And we're
asking you to imagine that.

So Isaac left.

- Left?
- The country.

He had a business opportunity.

For how long?

Six months at least.

Sorry, that must hurt.

It did.

But he could have stayed
and tried to work things out.

So...

What does that mean for us?

It means Isaac chose to leave.

Hmm.

And I'm choosing...

to move on with my life.

(MALIKA GIGGLES) Come on.

So, hey, uh, Tanya wanted me to ask

if you were up for drinks.

Like all three of us?

Like a triple date?

No, like a metamour date.

Your partner's partner.

Just you two.

Oh.

Oh!

It's something we do, Tanya and I.

We like to meet each other's partners.

You know, make sure everybody
gets along and likes each other.

It just eliminates that feeling of
secrecy from the whole dynamic.

So... you good with that?

Of course.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

That's great. I'll give her your number.

Okay.

- What you waiting on? Let's go.
- I know.

I'm telling you, she's hiding something.

- Who?
- Katie. She's sketchy.

Really? How do you explain the tears?

Are you all right?

She's proving a point.

Fake tears.

Impressive.

MARIANA: I know. Practically
invented the technique.

Wait, so if Tommy gets convicted,

he's going to jail, right?

- Not juvie?
- Correct.

Hm. Juvie is pretty scary too.

Callie can attest to that, right?

(PHONE RINGING)

Don't you have phones to answer?

Oh, I am answering them.

Press two for Callie Adams Foster.

I programed an office
call forwarding system

except for Kathleen's calls, of course.

So what do we need you for?

Other stuff, like sleuthing.

Well, here's some "other stuff".

I need these filed.

Can we get back to the
"Callie was in juvie" part?

- Yes.
- Oh, yeah, twice.

She's a total badass.

Ask her about the time
she took a baseball bat

to her foster father's car.

I think we have a new nickname.

Criminal Callie!

There were extenuating circumstances.

Okay?

Filing.

Right. On it...

Boss.

So what are you, like
a headlight smasher?

Or do you prefer the side view mirrors?

Those things come right off.

Tony, Rowan.

KATHLEEN: Charles, you old so-and-so.

Why don't you step into my office?

Who's that?

His name is Charles Sackolov.

He's one of the name partners
at the old firm.

Nickname, Sack o' sh*t.

Wonder why he's dropping by unannounced.

Maybe he came by for a booty call?

I'm just saying, it was...

Rumor. Unsubstantiated.

Hey, what happened?

That happened.

MATT: What's going on?

ANDRE: I guess Solomon
heard about the protest.

He called a bunch of the parents

who made their kids bail on us.

And kids can't say no to free pizza.

Even from the cops.

I'm so sorry,

but try not to get discouraged.

It doesn't matter. It was a dumb idea.

Hey, it's not a dumb idea.

You're fighting for what's right.

And you shouldn't give up on that.

What's the point?

Let's get out of these stupid costumes.

(SIGHS) How were the interviews?

Okay.

What do you got for me?

Uh, well...

Nothing really.

Everyone stuck to their original story.

ALL: Sorry.

You're sorry?

Don't tell me you're sorry.

Tell the -year-old boy

who is about to spend the
rest of his life in prison.

If you don't have the skills
to rattle a few fun facts

from a bunch of kids,

then you have no business
defending anyone.

There is always something new to exploit

or old to bend in any statement.

So find something to prove to me

that I didn't make a big mistake

taking a chance on the three of you.

(DOOR SLAMS)

(PHONE BEEPS)

MARIANA (OVER INTERCOM):
She is a bad ass bitch.

I love her.

(SIGHS)

All right, just like I showed you.

You apply ink in one long, fluid motion.

No! No, no, no, no. Stop.

It needs to be a fluid motion.

Yours is just jerky and uptight.

It's awful.

Yuri, I can get it right.

Nah, just... Just leave it, all right?

Got another job for you.

I need you to address these invitations

to my next gallery show.

So, what, we're, like, talking labels?

No, we are not talking labels.

I'm an artist.

I'm not some mass junk mailer.

My invitations are handwritten.

Use this chisel-tip pen.

This is a list of
names and addresses.

And I need it by end of the
day tomorrow. All right?

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

What?

Too much?

Nancy is not going to be
proud of my little outburst.

CALLIE: Who's Nancy?

My therapist.

Oh.

Look, Tommy is not the only one
whose fate is on the line here.

If we lose this case,

Ken Sung might not tell
me where his sister is.

And proof that she's not dead

might be my only way out of this.

Well, why don't you just tell the FBI?

Maybe they can find her.

If I did that, I'd also
have to let them know

that I tampered with their witness.

Even if I say it's because I
was concerned for her safety,

her disappearance benefited my client.

What if we made a deal?

Best case scenario,

I'm disbarred and I lose everything.

And I'm forced to join
Witness Protection

because Albert Sung will
know that I snitched.

So I need Denise Chen

to prove that she's still alive.

And, unfortunately, for that to happen,

we need to win this case.

Does any of this have to do

with why your former partner stopped by?

You're really serious about
this pro bono thing, huh?

Serious as a heart att*ck.

So, Chuck, to what do I
really owe this pleasure?

The FBI has been
sniffing around the firm.

They want to look at our books.

If they do, they're likely
to find the same anomalies

that caused us to part ways.

You need to fix this.

While I appreciate the heads-up,

I'm not the only one whose anomalies

will come to light
if they start digging.

So I will do what needs
to be done on my end.

But in the meantime, I suggest
that you do your part as well.

We both know that it is in
neither of our best interests

for the FBI to be anywhere
near the firm's books.

Well, Kathleen, you certainly
haven't lost your edge

- or your looks.
- (SCOFFS)

Maybe we can get a drink

- for old times' sake?
- Oh, Charles,

we closed that door a long time ago,

and I don't think your
wife would appreciate it.

You never cared about my wife before.

Well, I am trying to redeem myself.

That is what this is all about.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Good for you.

You know, the junior associates

call you Sack o' sh*t, right?

CALLIE: Does any of this have to do

with why your former partner stopped by?

No. It was just some
housekeeping business

pertaining to my exit from the firm.

What kind of housekeeping business?

Well, you promised if I was going
to represent you, you'd be honest.

It is an unrelated matter,

but I appreciate your persistence.

I like how much I'm rubbing off on you.

There's calcium in ice cream, right?

For the baby.

Definitely.

Everything else makes me so nauseous.

At least you're not craving anchovies.

(GAGGING)

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, morning sickness sucks,

especially when it lasts all day.

Um... (CLEARS THROAT)

Did Callie say anything
about this morning?

Hmm. What happened this morning?

Nothing. Um, so,

I want to do something
nice for Gael and Callie.

I know their schedules
have been all off.

And I have an idea,

but I might need your help.

Sure. What do you have in mind?

Right. No, I know.
Yeah. Mom, I got to go.

Yes. All right. Okay.

Yes. No, okay. We can
talk more tomorrow.

Yes, I will talk to Dad too.

All right. Yes. Bye.

Sorry about that.

- It's okay.
- Family issues.

I'm Tanya.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, I'm a hugger. Is that okay?

Sure. Sure, sure, sure.

So I have been dying to meet you.

Dyonte is very smitten by you.

Oh, well, he's a great guy.

That's why we love him, right?

Well, enough about us.
Tell me about you.

Who is Malika Williams?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

You know, I'm capable of more

than just answering phones and filing.

If I were you, I would...

I don't know, maybe
have me do a deep dive

on some of these kids' social accounts.

Oh, well, I'd prefer you use
your skills to act professional.

Keep my personal life out of the office.

Sorry, I assumed that you told
Tony and Rowan about juvie.

Isn't your criminal
background like an asset?

Wait... I was not a criminal!

And now, thanks to you,
every time I pass Tony,

he begs me not to shiv him.

(LAUGHS)

- That's a good one.
- That's not funny, Mariana.

This is exactly why I was worried
about us working together.

Okay, well, you want to know
what I was worried about?

You underestimating me. I can do more.

Like what?

Like I discovered that Katie and Zack

didn't follow each other.

On any platform.

Not a single one.

And that's weird?

Uh, in high school?
Yes, that's very weird.

Why wouldn't you follow
your boyfriend's best friend?

Unless, you didn't like him.

And aren't you trying to find out

if there was someone
that had beef with Zack?

Okay.

I'm listening.

♪ ♪

CALLIE: Okay, it's official.

Looking through all
these kids' profiles?

We're old, Mariana.

When did we get old? We
have to, like, pay taxes now.

Oh, come on, we're not that old.

I mean, you act kind of old sometimes,

but we're still mostly young.

CALLIE: Seriously, though.

I think we might be, like, old-old.

I don't understand half of
these acronyms they're using.

Like, what does # LDRZAS even mean?

Wait, what was that?

Um, it's just a comment on a picture
of Katie on Izzie's account.

I think I saw that hashtag
on one of Katie's photos too.

Let me try searching.

Okay, there's an Instagram account.

Oh, but it's private.

Izzie follows, but not Katie.

My guess?

It's Katie's Finsta.

Seems like there's a ton of posts too.

I wonder if Katie the fake crier

is hiding a bunch of deadly
secrets on her Finsta.

I mean, what do we do?
Just ask her about it?

I'd ask Izzie.

Maybe she'll spill some tea.

(LAUGHTER)

Yes. Dyonte gets something in his mind,

he will not let it go.

Why does he insist that mustard

is secretly better than ketchup?

- Right?
- Ugh.

And you have to try it,

or he won't let you get on
with your lunch in peace.

Exactly!

Enough about him.

Tell me about your work at DPN.

Oh, well, um...

I'm working on my mini-campaign,

you know, to help women in
the system with childcare

so that they can make
it to their court dates

and community service hours

or visit their loved ones in prison.

We raised over $ , .

That's amazing!

And Dyonte helped me make a video

of these women and their stories,

and DPN is going to share it with
the County Board of Supervisors

as part of the push to
reallocate police funds

to community support services.

I love your passion for the work.

You and Dyonte have that in common.

Yes.

And then there's me,

in marketing and social media.

Hey, you got to market the message too.

And social media is huge in this work.

You know, I was telling Dyonte

that I'd be down to
donate my time to DPN.

Uh, come on over, girl.

We need all the smart,
dedicated people we can get.

We just got to get Dyonte to
figure out his mini-campaign now.

He's looking into doing a mini-campaign?

He didn't mention it.

Yeah, he's circling a bunch of ideas,

but he's having trouble
landing on anything.

I just... I really want to help him

because he's helped me so much.

Sounds like Dyonte.

I'm really glad we did this.

Me too.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Is that a new piece?

Yeah, commission for a new diptych,

, apiece.

If you want, I could help
paint one of the pieces.

Nah, don't worry about it.

Your priority right now is to
finish these invitations properly.

Half of them are crap.

Thank you for coming in.

I was worried that Andre
didn't come to school today,

so I just wanted to
make sure that he's okay.

Did you know about the protest?

Not until he came home sick from school.

You know he's in the diversion program.

What if the campus
police had retaliated?

He's only got one more
strike and then...

I guess I've just never
seen him this passionate

about anything to do with school.

And I wanted to encourage that.

And... I would agree.

Look, you have a real
influence over him,

and it's clear you care.

But if he's gonna get into
organizing and activism,

I think he needs someone who understands

what that means for him.

Izzie, hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

My name's Callie Adams Foster.

This is my associate, Mariana.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, so thank you for coming in.

We just have a couple
of questions for you.

Of course.

But I wasn't at the
party when Zack was...

d*ed.

Uh, no, we know.

Um, we just really wanted to ask you

about Tommy and Zack's friendship.

Wonder what the Sleuthing
Sisters are up to?

I'd watch that show.

(ROWAN CHUCKLES)

I didn't really know Zack that well,

but he and Tommy were always together.

How did Katie feel about that?

Hey, you remember when I was dating Brad

and he was always hanging
around the guys?

Uh, yeah.

I mean, put down

- No, you don't.

- You have a doctor's appointment.
- I do?

With the love doctor.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my gosh, you guys.

I just wanted to do
something nice for you two.

I know you had some trouble
finding time for each other.

This is really nice of you, Isabella.

- GAEL: Yeah, thank you.
- Enjoy.

Señorita.

Wow!

A gentleman!

As fun as this is,

we honestly haven't really had a chance

to actually talk in days.

So breakfast first?

Yeah.

- Hmm. Eat!
- Okay. Okay.

- And talk.
- Mm-hmm.

Buen provecho.

I mean, the only reason I
went back to work with Yuri

was so I could paint for him.

And he is making me address envelopes.

CALLIE: Hmm, sounds like...

GAEL: He's punishing me
for quitting, for sure.

I shouldn't have told him
I'm gonna be a father

because now he knows that
I'm desperate for money

and won't leave.

CALLIE: All right, look, he needs you

just as much as you need him.

So you just walk in there

like the confident, talented,

doing-him-a-favor-by-even-
showing-up artist you are,

and let him know you're there to paint.

And he can address
his own damn envelopes.

We should do more of this talking thing.

Hmm. I was just thinking

we've done about enough talking for now.

Oh, really?

You don't want another bagel,
blackberry or something?

(GIGGLING)

(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

Yuri?

Ah, you're early.

Which either means
you're in trouble or I am.

Is this punishment for quitting?

Ah, so it appears that I am.

Why do you have me addressing
all these invitations

when you hired me to
assist on paintings?

Follow me.

Make some strokes on the canvas.

Ooh.

Ah, look at how similar these lines are.

See the envelopes taught
you the technique,

the repetition helped you perfect it.

(CHUCKLES)

Holy sh*t. You just Mr. Miyagi'd me.

- Like, "Wax on..."
- "Wax off".

There is no gallery show.

I just wanted to teach you something.

And now, you are ready
to work on these pieces.

And you got another little technique

to put in your toolbox.

- Well played.
- Yeah.

But why not just tell me that
you're teaching me something?

Oh, where would the fun be in that, eh?

All right, it is a new day, new dawn.

Please tell me that you have something.

We think Katie has a secret.

Continue.

Well, after scouring her Instagram,

we all discovered that Katie and
Zack didn't follow each other

on any of their social accounts,

which for high school is weird.

So we brought in a friend of Katie's

who said that she thinks
Katie was sort of over it.

Katie was sort of over it.

I mean, I guess she wanted
to go to a movie that night,

and then Zack texted about the party

and Tommy, like, totally
changed their plans.

So Katie was angry with Tommy

because she didn't want to go
to the party that night but...

Whenever Zack said, "Jump",
Tommy was like, "How high?"

We asked her if Katie
liked Zack and she said...

Zack was a big personality.

She wasn't his biggest fan.

Uh, what do you mean, "She
wasn't his biggest fan"?

Are we talking casual
annoyance or real animosity?

It wasn't a big thing.

I mean, it's not like she hated him.

And, honestly, I haven't really
talked to Katie since graduation.

High school drama and
all that. It's kind of a blur.

So then we asked her about this hashtag

that she and Katie have tagged
each other's photos in recently.

You know, I feel so old.

I saw this hashtag on Katie's Insta,

# LDRZAS.

I have no idea what it means.

I have no idea.

And I don't really get

how any of this is helping Tommy.

And I have a class, so can I go?

We're pretty sure the hashtag
belongs to Katie's private Finsta.

So if we can get her
to follow Mariana...

Apparently, she loves cats

so I came up with an account

with the username @caturdaynitelive!

- Oh, good one.
- MARIANA: Thank you.

Now we're just waiting for
her to accept the request.

So we all think there might be photos

maybe from the party
that night, which might...

Cast suspicion on Katie.

Great work, everyone.

There may be hope for you yet.

Are we really going to infer

that Tommy's girlfriend
is the real k*ller?

If she has motive and opportunity?

Yes, we will, if we have to.

Let me know what you
find on that account.

Maybe they really are
the Sleuthing Sisters.

So, um, nice work.

And thanks for having our backs.

You're welcome. And
you can thank Mariana.

She caught the fake crying, so...

You're welcome.

We'll see if Katie let
us into her Finsta.

She accepted!

Um, okay, so see if she posted

anything from the night of
the party. September rd.

Mm. Katie does not look super happy.

CALLIE: See if there are other photos.

(GASPS)

ROWAN: What happened?

Katie just deleted her Finsta.

- sh*t!
- sh*t!

Izzie must've tipped her off.

And Katie has something to hide.

And now we're back to having nothing.

So... who's going to tell Kathleen?

MALIKA: James, this is Andre.

I thought he might like to hear more

about our Dandelion Rising program.

Hey, Andre. Welcome to our space.

Are you ready to become a great leader?

You're right. I am...
I'm not the right person.

But I do know who is.

So if it's okay with you,

could I introduce Andre to some
people who can mentor him?

So I'm here to talk to you
about Students Deserve.

We're a student-led grassroots coalition

that works to make sure Black lives
truly do matter in our schools.

Our overall goal is to get schools
to stop criminalizing us

and instead invest in us.

We ended random searches,
which was a r*cist policy

that targeted Black and brown youth.

And we're currently
working on a campaign

to get police out of our schools.

So... how are things at the Coterie?

There's nothing going on
between me and Dennis.

Did I ask about Dennis?

We're just friends.

Are you still sorting out your
feelings, if you're just friends?

I wish I could say that I'm not
still a little confused, but...

N... No pressure. Really.

I'm just a friend checking
in on how you're doing.

Thank you. I appreciate
how patient you're being.

Of course.

I am extremely patient.

It's just too bad friends don't kiss.

It is.

But they can crush.

Mm.

Big time.

ANDRE (ON VIDEO): I want the
police out of our schools too.

I mean, how are we supposed to learn

if we're scared that we're
going to get thrown into juvie

for something stupid like
carrying around a Sharpie?

It's just not right.

You good?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm great.

♪ We are making all things new again ♪

Oh! Think fast..

Oh.

Oh-ho! She sh**t! She scores!

Okay. Okay.

Okay, you got some game too.

Hey, I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for last night.

You know, bailing like that.

It really doesn't happen that often,

but definitely should've told you

about me and Tanya's
emergency agreement before.

No, it's cool. I'm cool. We're cool.

Uh-huh.

You know, when you say "cool"
three times in one breath,

it's obvious you're not, right?

To be honest,

I think the newness of
all this is a challenge.

I feel like all this is happening
a little faster than I'm ready for.

And this isn't just a new
relationship for me,

it's a whole new love-style.

And it's just getting a little deep.

Like meeting Tanya?

I didn't feel ready to do that,

even though it went
great and she's great.

Then why did you do it?

I didn't want to do poly wrong.

There's no wrong way to do this.

We can totally slow this thing down.

And I should probably tell you that...

Hey, hey.

- Guess who?
- DYONTE: Hey, babe.

Hey, Tanya.

Oh, you look surprised.

Didn't you tell her?

I was just about to.

Well, I was so inspired

by all the things you
guys are doing here.

So D finally let me come
and do some marketing

for one of y'all's projects.

That's great!

I'm so excited. We can
work together now!

How fun!
