02x06 - Shop 'Til You Cry

Post by bunniefuu »

Any sign of Alexa yet?

No, she's still upstairs.

Ahh, poor thing. Her first breakup.

She's gonna be upset, so
I made her comfort food.

Looks amazing, honey!

Alexa might be sad, but at least
she'll be uncomfortably full.

Waffles, bacon...

and lasagna?

This is for me.

Wow, this has been really hard on you!

You're usually such a rock for Alexa.

Yeah, but her first breakup is

regular mom crying with
her daughter stuff.

You know, so when Alexa comes down,
she and I will have a good cry.

And it'll be nice. And sad.

Well, you look beautiful when you cry.

Really?

Sure.

I... I'm gonna miss Dylan.

But, but I am definitely Team Alexa.

Honey, we're her parents.
Of course we're Team Alexa.

Yeah, but I'm the captain.

When I talked to Dylan, he was a wreck.

I'd be a wreck if Gwenny
broke up with me.

I guess I'm Team Lucas.

Good morning. How's it going?

Ooh, waffles!

Ooh... waffles.

- Waffle?
- Oh, I'm too upset.

Uh, when Alexa does come
down, I brought this for her.

Oh, the sad sweater!

I haven't seen that in a while.

I brought Alexa the Halloween
candy that I don't want.

Oh, wait a minute, Twizzlers?
You're not going anywhere.

Oh, poor Alexa.

I guess we're not going shopping for
dresses for her Sweet 16 today.

I know she was really looking
forward to a girls' day out.

I know I was.

Me too, but who can enjoy dress
shopping after what happened?

- Oh, hon.
- Oh, thanks.

But this is not about me.

Dave, will you hug me or not?

It's gonna be okay.

We're all here for her.
No matter how bad it is.

I mean, she could be
in her room all day.

I wonder what she's thinking, right now.

She's wondering where the syrup is.

Hey! So, um, honey, is that
waffle enough for you?

Or do you need lasagna?

No, thanks. Is there
a hole in the table?

Wow! There is.

I like it.

So, how... how are you doing?

- I'm actually fine.
- Wait, what?

I know. Last night I was upset,

but when I woke up this
morning, I was fine.

I was so worried about you.
You're sure you're not upset?

I'm not.

Okay, okay, well that's great!

Hey, when are we going dress shopping?

- You still wanna go?
- Yes!

My Sweet 16 is only a
couple months away.

I'm focusing on what's ahead.

I won't let some breakup get in the way

of finding the perfect dress.

Yes! We are going dress shopping.

Uh, but first, I should
get out of these pajamas.

Guess you won't be needing this.

Or this.

Honey, are you sure you're not upset?

I guess, with everything I've
been through the past two years,

a breakup is just a breakup.

I'm okay, Mom. I mean it.

Okay.

All right. Well if you
don't need to cry,

then I don't need to cry.

I'm just gonna...

look in the fridge for a moment.

- Gwenny!
- Move!

Heartbroken bifflsis.

Last night must have
been so awful for you.

It's one thing to break
up, but... at a party?

- Yeah, no need to...
- And that costume... horrible.

I mean, the breakup. So
devastating and unflattering.

I mean the costume.

- Lucas, can you take her somewhere?
- Gwenny, you wanna...

Shh! The women are talking!

I get it. Guys do dumb things.

Been there.

Most of the time they don't
even know what they did wrong,

then they're all surprised
when you end it.

I lost my appetite.

Now, what dress says "Sweet 16"?

This one says, "Distant auntie
with something to prove."

Alexa is really acting okay.

Well, that's how we Mendoza
women roll. We are strong!

And full of it.

On the way here you
claimed to have allergies.

Thought there was an onion nearby,

and I didn't hear the third excuse
because you dove into the bushes.

I'm fine. Okay?

Just like Alexa.

It takes more than a breakup
from a sweet boy who...

also brought flowers on my birthday...

to bring us down.

I'm gonna go try on this tiara.

This is turning out to be a nice day.

This is a train wreck.

Mom.

Alexa is in denial about her
feelings, and it is not healthy.

She doesn't deal with it,
it's all gonna blow up.

Kaboom. That's all I'm gonna say.

Hmm. Good.

You are not helping matters

by encouraging Alexa
to deny her feelings

just because you want her to be okay.

Yeah, yeah. I do want her
to be okay. And she is.

She thinks she is.

She's just tucked her sadness away.

When she gets triggered,
grab the Kleenex.

I'm telling you she's miserable.

Hahaha! This place is fun!

Kaboom.

Since dress shopping
didn't get canceled,

looks like we can still play
the video game I picked up.

"Flight Simulator"?

But you're a real pilot,
you're gonna crush me.

Not true.

You play video games all day. You
can just as easily crush me.

Ah, I'm glad Alexa's okay.

I thought today might
get pretty emotional.

Yet here we are. Wheels
up in three, two...

I'm so emotional!

- We have to talk about Gwenny.
- Uh, right now?

It's just... Ugh! Never mind.

Could you "never mind" somewhere else?

Ugh! I can't stop thinking
about what Gwenny said,

about breaking up with guys who
do dumb things and don't know it.

I do dumb things all day,
and I don't know it.

Well, we know it.

She could break up
with me at any moment.

Dad, what do I do?

Well, for starters, when she's here,

don't talk to your dad.

Dude, you are bringing the wisdom!

Lucas, we should go if we're
gonna make the movie.

I need an extra ten minutes
to Febreze our seats.

- What?
- I'm breaking up with you.

- What?
- Oh boy!

Excuse me?

- I'm breaking up with you.
- Seriously?

I'm the after photo at my dad's
dental office. Your loss.

What was that?

That was me not getting broken up with.

Team Lucas.

Welcome to Singapore,
Captain. Perfect landing.

I didn't know flying was so easy.

Oh, love it.

It's perfect.

I wish it were less pink and didn't
have this weird extra fabric.

- It's terrible.
- I hate it.

This is Alexa and Dylan's song.

Oh. They danced to this
at the Winter formal.

But that's old news.

I'm gonna go check the meter.

- You know, this song was...
- A song?

I don't hear a song! I... but I,

you know, I love sharing happy
time with my best friend.

Katie, I told you, I'm fine.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You know, it was just a
simple, impulsive hug.

I'm gonna try this one on.

Hi!

How's it going in here,
huh? Everybody okay?

Did you see the free
bottles of water, Mom?

- I already nabbed a bunch.
- Uh-huh.

Sorry about my mom. She just
doesn't know when to quit.

You know...

sometimes you have to take Sad Street
in order to get to Happy Town.

Thanks, Jennifer,

but I'm already hanging out
and doing just Fineville.

Yeah. Doing just Fineville.

Yeah. Population: two.

Go find your own town, Mom.

Turn left heading 230, over.

Roger that, tower. I'm coming...

Fog. How is there suddenly fog?

You're flying into Newfoundland.

The North Atlantic Drift must
be coming up from the south.

I know where I am, Jack.

I've actually flown into
Newfoundland in real... Whoa!

- Head for left!
- I don't need help!

Dad, I made a big mistake!

Urgh, why did I break up with Gwenny?

You quit the game right
before you crashed.

My son needs me.

What if she already found somebody else,

and is telling him

that his shoes are stupid
and he smells like ham?

- I'm going to get her back.
- Yeah, you should.

Big mistake.

So sorry.

You need to show her how you
feel! A text isn't enough.

She says a text isn't enough.

I wonder what she wants.

Do something big that shows
how much she means to you.

What does she like?

Um, basketball, uh,
abbreviating words... herself.

Uh, cooking.

A cooking class! I'll
bake her something.

Another perfect landing, Captain.

A courageous descent into Courchevel.

Courchevel?

You landed on a mountain?

With zero visibility!

Hmm. What about this one?

Yas Queen!

Sorry, I just... I've
always wanted to say that.

How was it?

A little embarrassing.

I wonder where my mom went.

I've had to be strong all day.

So I appreciate being able
to be vulnerable with you.

It's what I'm here for.

He just was so great, you know?

I can't help but think it
was something that I did.

Or something I didn't do.

No. You are a lovely,
kind, talkative woman.

If your husband couldn't
see that, that is his loss.

Oh, I was talking about my
daughter and her boyfriend.

Ex-boyfriend.

Yeah. I'm gonna take my lunch break.

I thought you just came
from your lunch break!

None of these are right.

Trigger.

Alexa, sweetie, uh,

maybe it's not the dresses

that aren't turning out
the way you hoped.

Um, uh, what about this dress, Alexa?

It's a garment bag.

But... I was talking to Alexa.

You look so beautiful.

Aww, thanks.

Let's go look for jewelry.

Well, I wish I could
pull off that color.

Um, okay. Alexa. I'm just gonna...

run this up the old flagpole.

Um...

Feelings are like...

fruit at the bottom of the yogurt.

You have to stir up that fruit.

Or else, one day, when
you finish the yogurt,

all that's left is just a sad
bottom of Boysenberry globs.

Or, yeah, you just eat plain yogurt.

No stirring required.

Something to think about.

I know what your mom's trying
to do. But I'm not upset.

Huh! What do you think of this one?

Or, how about those?

- Those are, um...
- Wow!

I know, right? Let's try
'em on. It'll be hilarious.

And something we'll
seriously consider buying.

Ha-ha! Check it out, Jack.

A real captain is about to
show you how it's done.

Throttle back...

Oh, no, Gwenny's gonna be
here in less than an hour!

Dad, I need help!

- Uh, in a minute.
- Dad!

I'm so close!

Your son needs you.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

- What do you think of the cake?
- Impressive!

Yet oddly unsettling.

- That's her. How do I look?
- You look good.

Thanks. Oh, can you change your shirt?

- Answer the door.
- Grab the cake.

- Hi, Gwenny.
- I just came by to drop these off.

You printed out our selfies?

I was gonna delete them from my phone,

then I thought, tearing
you out of each one

would feel more satisfying.

It did.

I don't want pictures without
you. Oh, maybe this one.

Oh. Don't go.

Not until you've seen
what I've done for you.

It's something to show you how sorry
I am for breaking up with you.

Is... that me?

It's your head.

Unh-unh.

I messed up and I shouldn't
have said those dumb things.

You'll have to be more specific.

I was so scared you'd break up with
me, I broke up with you first.

- I'm sorry.
- You're scared of me?

- No, I was scared that...
- No, I love that you're scared of me!

- It was more about...
- Oh, boyfriend!

I'm petrified.

Wanna go take some new selfies?

- Great idea! I'll bring the cake.
- No.

Jack.

What, you only fed me lunch!

Okay, ready!

Wait.

Mom, you look like a parade float!

You look like Grandma's
toilet paper cover.

Let's go see, let's go see.

- Oh! Haha.
- Oh!

Don't make me laugh! I
had a lot of free waters.

It's gonna take me 10 minutes
to get out of this dress.

Okay, let's take a selfie before
your mom has to buy that dress.

- Okay. Say...
- Girls' day out!

Okay, uh, I'm playing
with fire. Gotta go.

Oh, it's even worse in a picture.
I've gotta text these to Dylan.

Oh, right. I guess I don't
have to do that anymore.

Let's go try something else on.

Wait.

You got to stop pretending you're okay.

But I am okay.

My mom is right. You are
never going to get past it...

unless you feel it.

I can't feel something I'm not feeling.

- Come on, let's go find you a tiara.
- No!

Look, I know how much
Dylan meant to you.

How big you smiled when he
left notes in your locker.

Or made that silly face
that you pretended to hate.

Or how he always texted
you, "good night."

And now it's over.

And there is no way that,
that does not hurt.

I need to get out of this dress.

Oh, come on.

Stupid zipper, this is really annoying.

Let me help you.

What is wrong with this
stupid, stupid zipper?

Okay, okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

I don't wanna be sad, Mom.

I can't believe it's really over.

Sweetie, I know.

It's okay to be sad.

I knew I was right.

Extra pillow. Playlist of
your favorite fail videos.

Box of Kleenex.

Backup box of Kleenex.

Thanks, Katie.

Tsk.

Hey, I'm sorry I made you
exit onto Sad Street.

Oh! Forgot the sad socks.

Ugh.

Hey.

You know, you're going to be
really mad you missed dinner.

Lucas dropped his chicken
through the hole.

Honey.

How long am I going to feel like this?

For a while.

But then it's going to
get better. I promise.

But you know...

it makes me remember

that you're one of the
strongest people I know.

Anybody in here want some cake?

No, thanks.

This one's going to cheer you up.

Maybe I do want cake.

We love you, kiddo.

I love you guys too.

Mmm, Gwenny's sweet! That's ironic.

Umm, can we turn her this way?

Kind of having a hard time enjoying
her when she's looking at me.

I don't mind it.
