[O] Ever since the video of me
in primary school has resurfaced,

I have been absolutely beside myself.

I'm so disappointed in
the person I used to be,

but I have learned from my mistakes.

And I know that I have
to prove that to you now,

and that might take some time,

but for the moment, I
would just like to say,

from the very, very bottom of my heart

to all of my clients,
all of my followers,

and all of my friends, to everyone...

I'm truly, truly sorry.

Surprise! Oh no!

- [ALL SCREAM]
- [ELLEN] Oh no! No!

[GASPS]

[SNICKERS]

[JOY COOING]

[SIZZLING]

- Morning, darling.
- [OTIS] Morning.

[JEAN] Want coffee?

Yes, please.

What's going on?

[JEAN] Well, I... I thought
I'd make you some breakfast.

- Why?
- We haven't done this in a while.

- Well...
- It's nice.

[JEAN] Mmm.

Hey, Joy.

[JEAN] How did you sleep? How are you?

Yeah, I'm okay.

It's the election stuff today.

I'm obviously not gonna win,

so it feels like that was
a massive waste of time.

Well, you did your best,

which is never a waste of time.

Have you heard from Maeve?

She landed this morning.

[JEAN] I know it might be hard, darling,

but I think she made the right decision.

She was so discouraged
when I spoke to her.

What do you mean?

Well, I think she convinced herself that

she wasn't good enough for the course.

And, well, that's just ridiculous.

She's such an intelligent young woman.

So I told her that she'd had a knock

and that she shouldn't
let it affect her ambition,

and she should go back and finish.

[OTIS SIGHS]

What?

- You told Maeve to go back to America.
- Well, no...

She wanted to stay here with
me, Mum. Everything was fine.

I didn't tell her anything
she didn't already know.

Of course you did!

- You're always doing this!
- Hi.

You get inside people's brains.

You wheedle in like some
wheedling brain wheedler!

Darling, you told me that you wanted me

- to be more involved in your life.
- [OTIS] Don't you dare put this on me!

I wanted you to ask me how my day
was, not therapize my girlfriend

into getting on a plane
and breaking up with me.

Oh, Otis. I didn't know you broke up.

You crossed a line.

I was worried you were having
another mental breakdown,

but no, you're just consistently
f*cking with everything in my life.

- Don't talk to your mother like that...
- Don't get involved.

No, I will get involved. Your
mum does everything for you.

At least talk to her with some respect.

Oh my God. I hate you both!

Otis, don't...

- [JOY CRYING]
- [DOOR SLAMS]

f*ck.

You're back.

Not really.

I've got a friend with
a spare room down south,

so, uh, I've just come to say goodbye

and to, uh, pick up my LED face mask.

Do you mind if I have a shower
and get changed before I go?

No, go on.

Thanks.

Thanks for sticking up for me.

It's all right.

[SIGHS]

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Cal?

Cal, can I come in?

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

You sure you wanna do this? Maybe
it's just a misunderstanding.

You saw the letter.

It's all sexy and gross.

Yeah, your mum is kind of filthy.

- Odusanya!
- Sorry.

I think this is it.

[VIV] Good luck.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[RINGS DOORBELL]

[LOCK CLICKING]

Hi, how can I help you?

Hi.

Uh, I'm Jackson.

Marchetti.

Are you Jerome Saibu?

This is a bit strange. I... I...

I found a letter that
you wrote to my mum.

Her name is Roz...

- [BOY] Dad, who is it?
- [JACKSON] ... Anderson.

I think you guys used to
work together a while back.

I think

you could be...

- Leave my property. Please.
- You could be my dad.

[MAN] All good, Abbi.

- Did you see O's apology?
- Mm-hmm.

She thinks she can still
get votes. It's a bit sad.

Mm-hmm, right.

Hey, guys. Um, what are
you guys talking about?

We've been practicing.

Yeah, we were practicing all night.

You were f*cking all night?

- Aisha, what? No!
- We definitely weren't f*cking all night.

Roman!

Oh, you mean practicing?

Practicing, sorry.

Oh, that's very nice
that you're trying. Aw.

Oh, we were saying that
O's apology was a bit fake.

Guys, that's really
mean. You know the drill.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

Hi. Sorry, do you know Cal Bowman?

- Yes.
- [NICKY] I'm their mum.

They didn't come home last night,

and they're not answering their phone.

Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't seen them.

I've called the police, but they're
just not taking it seriously.

They just... they don't
seem themself now, and I'm...

[AIMEE] Ooh wow.

This one's good.

It's upside down.

Oh, it's better that way.

Our first art auction. I'm excited.

- What?
- Can I kiss you?

We've been eating cheese and onion.

I don't mind.

[AIMEE SIGHS]

[PHONE CHIMES]

Oh God! Cal's gone missing.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- Just pop it on there.
- No worries.

What's going on?

Oh, Cal Bowman's been missing
since last night. That's their mum.

[MICHAEL] Christ, how awful.

Yeah, yeah. We'll make sure there's
people searching the skate park.

[CLAPS]

[AISHA] Thank you for coming, everyone.

Cal is in a very
vulnerable place right now,

so we need to start searching
for them straight away.

Their last text message said they were

going to Pinelands Shopping Center.

This is a real moment to
focus on the power of intention

and manifest finding Cal.

Come on. Let's do this.
Come on, Cavendish!

- [ALL CHEERING]
- Whoo!

[OPTIMISTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[NICKY] Thank you.

[AIMEE] Should we get some?

Oh.

[CHURCH BELL TOLLING]

- I am so happy you are doing this.
- Hmm.

[BEATRICE CHUCKLES]

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning, Pastor.
- Hello, girls.

- Hello.
- Eric, can I have a quick word?

Yeah. Yeah.

[PASTOR] I'm very sorry.

Someone looked up your college online,

and we've had some complaints
about your fundraiser.

Why?

The college values are not
something the church can support.

I'm afraid the church council have
decided we cannot accept your money.

- But the fundraiser is tonight.
- [PASTOR] I know.

It's out of my hands.

Please don't let this
ruin your special day.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Maybe you should go home
and tell your parents.

I wanna be here, okay?

What if Cal's not all right?

Oh, Otis, mate.

Can I speak to you about a sex thing?

- You don't wanna speak with Connor?
- Well, he's all booked up.

Basically, what it is,
yeah, is me and Abbi, yeah,

we tried to have sex last night,

and I thought everything was sound,

but then she set my blanket on fire.

Are you okay?

She might have done it on purpose,
like, to try and get out of it.

We've been going back to basics,

just like you said,
but it's not working.

We barely even kiss anymore,
and we still haven't had sex.

Well, it sounds to me like she's
still feeling some kind of pressure.

I know it's hard, but I think
you just have to be patient. Yeah?

Sorry about the blanket.

My nan knitted that. I'm gutted.

Thanks.

I think it's best if we split into
groups, so you guys go together.

And then you two and then you
guys come with me. Where's Roman?

- [MAN] Look who it is.
- [MAN ] Did you see her apology?

- Hey, can I go with you guys?
- Oh, no.

[MAN ] Too little too late.

[OTIS] What's the plan?

I would rather wear synthetic wool.

What? I did apologize.

You kind of apologized
to everyone except her.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- [JACKSON] Have you seen this person?
- [WOMAN] No, sorry.

- [JACKSON] Thanks.
- Guys, no one's seen Cal anywhere.

- Aimes?
- [AIMEE] What?

It's % off. I shop when
I'm stressed, Jackson.

Uh, Viv?

Can we talk?

Hey, are you okay?

Um...

Yeah.

- Hi.
- [VIV] Are you here to find Cal?

I didn't know what else to do. You
weren't responding to my messages.

I know I upset you,
and I made a mistake.

I... I just can't stand
seeing you with anyone else.

I know that's wrong,
and I'm gonna work on it.

No. I... I can't talk to you right now.

I'm gonna go back to my friends.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

I'm gonna go.

That's the money you need.

Why are you giving me this?

You're right.

I am a f*cked-up person.

I really wanted it to
work out with Jakob.

I really loved him.

And I wanted to raise Joy with him.

But...

a little bit of me knew
that she wasn't his,

and I just really didn't
want it to be true,

so I blocked it out, and
now it's all f*cked-up.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, I quit the show, and...

and I'm going to get myself together.

Why did you do that?

Because it's not fair on Joy.

You've really been
growing in confidence.

No, it's the right decision.

Look, I know I'm not good at
asking for help. Come here.

It's been so nice to have you here.

And if you stayed here for a
while, you could start your nursery.

I slept with Dan.

Of course you did.

But you don't need to worry.
I realized he has those toes

that are all the same length,

and he gave me the ick, so I'm
not into him anymore, anyway.

I know what you're doing, Jo.

You don't get to just blow it up
so that you can leave like always.

Let's just... just stay
here, and we'll work on it.

I would die of boredom out here. I...

I really need to go.

Keep the money.

[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]

I know that you're leaving your job

because you think
that you're a sh*t mum,

but you have raised Otis so brilliantly,

and you're gonna do the same with Joy.

I wish we'd had a mum like you.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Uh, hi. Sorry. Um...

You've not seen this
person recently, have you?

[CASHIER] Oh yeah, they
were here last night.

They ordered three cheeseburgers
and then didn't eat them.

It was weird.

[OTIS] Do you guys
have security cameras?

Okay, thank you.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[OTIS] Security. Where's security?

- Would you like to try Boats by Boats?
- No, I've got... Ugh, don't...

It's quite nice.

[ABBI] Hey. Bit of an emergency, um...

We need to look at last
night's security tapes

from the food court.

- Our friend is missing, and we're worried.
- Sorry, can't help you.

- [OTIS] They were here last night. We...
- You'll have to call the police.

Harriet. Harriet Anders.
From Moordale Secondary.

Shut up.

- You're Ruby Matthews.
- [MUMBLES]

As if you remember me.

Of course I remember
you. Why wouldn't I?

Because you were such a bitch.
I mean, you were magnificent.

But terrifying.

- Can I have a selfie?
- Of course you can.

If you let us take a peek
at those security tapes.

Yeah, of course.

- What's happening?
- She's kind of a big deal.

- [HARRIET] Cheese.
- [CAMERA CLICKS]

[CURIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[MICHAEL] Adam.

- What are you doing here?
- I've been worried.

Why are you worried?

[MICHAEL] Because
you're not talking to me.

And a student has gone
missing at college.

It made me think about what I'd
do if anything happened to you

while you still thought that...

- that I don't like you.
- You don't like me.

No. Adam, I do like you very much.

I love you.

You're my son.

I just don't like myself.

And I've made you feel small because
of that, and I deeply regret it.

And I know we can never
get that time back,

but I am trying to change.

Do you wanna hug a horse?

- Pardon?
- Hugging a horse makes things feel better.

Oh, uh...

Uh, no, I'm okay. Thank you.

But I'd

quite like to hug you.

Uh...

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

- Dad.
- Uh, yes. [CLEARS THROAT]

Just about to teach my first lesson.

Maybe I could stay and watch.

You could join in if you like.

I... [CHUCKLES]

No. Uh... [CHUCKLES]

[PASTOR] Please be seated.

It's now time for our baptism.

Adedayo, my son.

Are you ready to take this next step?

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Hallelujah! Whoo!

Do you renounce all sin

and accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Savior?

I do.

[APPLAUSE]

[PASTOR] Would you like to share
anything with your community?

[ADEDAYO] I've done many things
in my life that I am ashamed of.

Things that have made me unclean.

But today, I turn my back on sin

and thank God for his mercy that
I can be reborn and made pure.

[PASTOR] Praise God.

- [WOMAN] Hallelujah!
- [APPLAUSE]

It is my honor to baptize you

in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[NO SOUND]

[APPLAUSE]

Eric, it's your turn.

Are you ready to take this next step?

Do you renounce all sin

and accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Savior?

Um...

I have something that I need to say.

Hallelujah. Speak your truth, Eric.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[CHUCKLES]

I don't know how you're all gonna
feel about my truth. [CHUCKLES]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I thought God wanted
me to be baptized today.

And I wanted to make God happy.

I wanted to make you all happy,

especially my family.

But I can't stay silent any longer.

I have to tell my truth.

Otherwise, I will be half a
person, and I can't live like that.

My name is Eric Effiong.

And I'm a Christian.

And a proud gay man.

[CHURCHGOERS MURMUR]

I know a lot of you feel that
what I've just said is sinful

and that I need to pray for
forgiveness, but you're wrong.

My heart is torn,

because I'm in a position
where I have to either choose

to hide my truth and live in pain

or be honest and lose my community.

I keep getting told that I
need to wait and be patient,

but I'm tired of waiting.

[INHALES SHAKILY]

And I love myself too
much to not tell my truth.

So, if you love me as I am,

I will be baptized,

but if you don't,

then I must leave.

I love you as you are, my son.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

I have my answer.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[HARRIET] I know! A completely normal
day, and then she just walks in.

Literally, the best day of my life.

OMG, Lana. [CHUCKLES]

No, she's actually not scary at all,

and her skin is so soft.

[ROMAN SCOFFS]

What if something bad has happened?

Just say positive, Aish.

I don't feel positive. I feel worried.

Try and breathe, and remember
the power of manifestation.

Abbi.

I don't think I know
that one yet, sorry.

- I think she said f*ck off.
- [ABBI] Why?

Because I wanted to
express a normal emotion,

and you never let us.

You want us to be positive all the time,

and that's why we
never tell you a thing.

- Like what?
- I want to be a pescatarian.

What about the oceans?

See? I can't tell you anything.

Okay, fine. What else?

I like gossip. It's fun.

And Roman hates yoga.

What?

I do hate yoga, and I'm really
sad that we don't have sex anymore.

- [AISHA] You guys don't have sex anymore?
- Why are you ganging up on me?

Uh, Roman, I think your intimacy
issues should be separate,

and you can talk about that privately.

Sorry, um,

I... I actually think it
might all be connected.

Abbi, why do you feel the need to
keep things positive all the time?

Uh, thinking negative things
just makes me feel heavy. Um...

Basically, everyone important
in my life has rejected me.

That must be really difficult for you.

I imagine there's a lot of
emotions that you're keeping at bay.

If I think about how I feel,
then I just wanna scream.

So I think it's better
if I keep things light.

That makes sense. It feels like
you can't cope with anything else.

Well, sometimes, that constant

positivity can become
a little bit toxic.

And if you're shutting down those
very natural negative reactions,

it can hurt you a little
bit further down the line.

I just get scared of
saying how I really feel

in case you guys abandon me as well.

We would never reject you, Abbi.

You're part of us.

Navigating conflict and having
these difficult conversations,

that's the mark of a true
relationship with someone.

Do you think you'd feel comfortable

sharing more of those negative thoughts?

Aisha, the way you pick your
fingernails in class is disgusting.

And sometimes, I don't wanna hear about

Mercury being in f*cking retrograde.

And, Roman, we don't have sex anymore

because you make this loud moaning noise

when we kiss, and it's so irritating.

It's all I think about.

Your natural toothpaste isn't working

because your breath smells like garlic.

You need fluoride.

[CHUCKLES] That actually
felt really good.

[ROMAN] Hang on.

What noise do I make?

[HARRIET] Hey, Grace. Did Lana
tell you who I'm here with?

Yeah, I think we might be best
friends. We're getting on really well.

I know. Yeah, you can just feel
it when it's right, can't you?

And it's definitely right.

Yeah, I did. And I was the
only person who could help,

so, like, we're sitting
together right now.

Yeah, I thought that,
but no, she's really nice.

We're getting on so well.

Like, you know when you just
have chemistry with someone.

[RUBY] Thank you. Think
I've found something.

Call you back.

No.

Yep, it smells like burgers. That's it.

Fine.

Get in.

One jump should do. Big one.

- Okay.
- One, two, three.

Yeah. Hop.

- Ugh. It smells.
- It's a bin.

- One, two, three.
- Shut up!

[GRUNTS]

Drop. Just drop.

- Okay.
- Hey, can we, um...

[OTIS GROANS]

Jesus Christ.

Look, I don't know if you saw
the video or not, but I, um...

[OTIS] Okay, no way.

I did really mean it, and...

But I also should have
just said it to your face.

You deserve a proper apology.

I just didn't really know if
you'd actually wanna hear it

because of how far I dug myself in,

but you know, what I did
to you was really horrible.

[OTIS GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

For what it's worth,

I didn't really like myself
for doing that. I still don't.

Um...

And I am really sorry.

[OTIS] No. No. No.

Thank you.

I needed to hear that, so...

[OTIS GAGS]

I got it. I got it.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

- Yes.
- [RUBY] Let's open it. Open it.

Why have they dumped their stuff?

I think we need to call the police.

[GAGS]

[WOMAN OVER PA] This is a
customer announcement for Gina.

Gina, your mum is waiting for you.

[PHONE CHIMES]

[WOMAN OVER PA] Gina, please
come to reception. Thank you.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Are you all right, Viv?

[PHONE CHIMES]

- [ISAAC] He seems quite persistent.
- [PHONE CHIMES]

Um...

[PHONE CHIMES]

- You know? Maybe I should just text him.
- Do not text him, Viv.

[CHUCKLES] I know, but
he can be really sweet.

You just haven't seen that side of him.

And, yes, he gets jealous,
but he has low self-esteem.

It's not his fault.

- And it's not your fault.
- No.

How do you feel with him?

Sometimes I feel happy,

and then sometimes he makes me
feel like I've done something wrong.

It's really confusing.

I don't know when he's
gonna get upset next.

[AIMEE] Viv.

Viv, I've been reading a lot
of stuff about abuse for my art,

and it does sound like he could
maybe be emotionally coercive.

He's so controlling, Viv.

I just feel confused.

Love should make you feel safe.
It should make you feel braver

because you can be totally
yourself around that person.

It shouldn't be confusing,
and it shouldn't be scary.

[SIGHS]

sh*t, I think I know where Cal is.

- I'll text you, okay?
- Okay.

- [JACKSON] All right.
- Thank you.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[SIGHS]

[PHONE CHIMES]

Oh my gosh.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Oi!

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[ERIC] Um, excuse me!

Excuse me! You've got my ph...
Excuse me! Give me my phone!

Oi.

I know you.

No!

Look, I can't... I
couldn't get baptized.

Okay, I can't be something that I'm not!

[ERIC GASPS]

[SIGHS]

What do you want from me?

[CHUCKLES]

Why are you laughing?

Because you've done exactly
what I wanted you to do.

Today was the start of
a long and hard road.

I will be with you
every step of the way.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

You will change hearts and minds

and let everyone know that
I love them for who they are.

This will be your calling.

It will be your life's work.

I don't think so.

I made you this bright

so that others would
see in the darkness.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[WEEPING]

What do I do now?

Oh, no more poo, please. I beg.

[CAWS]

Cal.

Cal?

Cal.

Uh,

I think...

I think people are looking for you.

I've been here for a while.

I don't really know what happened.

Then I got scared, and then...

I couldn't go home.

If you wanna talk about it, I'm here.

But also, if you just
wanna sit in silence...

then we can do that too.

It feels like I'm...

drowning.

I can't wait any longer,

and I wish I could
make it stop because...

that's never gonna change.

It's gonna be okay.

I don't think the world
wants people like me in it.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[JACKSON] Cal?

Cal. Oh, you're okay. Thank God.

- There's, like, a search party.
- Jackson. Jackson.

- Everyone was so worried.
- Jackson.

Are people angry that I worried them?

No, no one's angry.

They're gonna be happy

that you're safe.

Cal, I had no idea that you were
having such a difficult time.

I'm so sorry that I let you down.

We should've all done more

to show you just how loved you are.

Things have to change, Cal,

because people like us
aren't going anywhere.

[SNIFFLES]

I know that the world can be
harsh, but you're not alone.

We need you here with us.

Shall we take you home?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Do
you want to hear my song?

I will play a song for you now.

[CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE CHIMES]

Oh my God. Cal's been
found. They're safe.

[GASPS]

- [ABBI] Oh my God.
- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

They found Cal. [CRIES]

- [ABBI] Oh my God. Thank you.
- Oh my gosh.

[ABBI] Eric found Cal!

[SIGHS]

- [NICKY] Thank you, Abbi.
- [ABBI] You guys!

[AIMEE] I want to explain
about this morning.

I've still got some stuff with intimacy

since the as*ault, and...

I guess I was scared to tell you
'cause I thought it might put you off.

Aimee, you could never put me off.
I'm really glad that you told me.

[WOMAN] There you go.

Thank you.

There's something I have to do.

- Thank you.
- Bye!

- [PHONE RINGING]
- No one's gonna feel it, bro.

- Sorry, I should take this.
- Yeah, do your thing.

Hello.

[WOMAN] Maeve Wiley?

This is Caitlin Reed
from Goodhart Books.

I read your piece, Southchester.

You... [CLEARS THROAT]

How... Sorry. How did you read my piece?

[WOMAN] Ellen Rasmussen gave it to me.

I've been speaking to her as
part of the Wallace internship.

Anyway, it's a very evocative piece.

I'd really like to read
some more if you have it.

Yeah, sure. I can send some
more over to you. Definitely.

[WOMAN] That would be
fantastic. We'll be in touch.

Okay. Thanks.

[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Very good. Well done.

- [GIRL] Thank you.
- [ADAM] Great poise, Liza.

- Keep it up, Sophie. Good job.
- [GIRL] Yay!

[WESTERN MUSIC PLAYING]

Come on, Michael, we're trotting.

Uh, no, no. I'm okay walking. Thank you.

[ADAM] Come on, Michael. We're
trotting now, mate. Giddyap.

[MICHAEL] Whoa! Whoa!

[LAUGHS] Ah!

- Am I doing it?
- [JEM] You are. You're doing great!

[MICHAEL] Ah! I'm bouncing now. Ooh!

Ow! Ah. Ah. How am I doing? Ah!

How do I stop?

Are your legs all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Yeah?

Okay.

- Um, I'll meet you in the car.
- [MICHAEL] Oh, okay.

- Oh, thank you.
- Oh, thanks. Bye.

[MICHAEL] Yup.

Oh Christ.

Well done.

Thanks.

I wasn't completely honest
with you the other day.

My ex is called Eric.

I'm attracted to men and women. It's
not a phase. That's just who I am.

And I haven't always liked that
about myself, but I want to.

And, anyway, I just wanted you to know.

Do you wanna go on a date?

[CURIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah.

I'd like that.

We've got seconds, Tilly.

It's gonna be great.

Don't forget to smile.

- Stop.
- Oh, Jean. We haven't actually started, so...

Right. Um, I made a mistake.

I don't want to quit. I
want to keep doing the show.

But if I am gonna do it,
I have to do it my way.

No cohosts, no making it
spicy for spicy's sake.

Just proper in-depth therapy
sessions with listeners and me.

That's what I'm good
at. I think it could

be great if you give me another chance.

Um... what's going on?

Yes, good. Yep. Jean. Jean. Jean.

This is Tilly. Tilly, this is Jean.

Tilly's filling in your show.

Tilly's show is about
antiquing and true crime.

It's fun. Tilly, not today. I'm sorry.

We're gonna rearrange your time
slot. So off you pop. Another time.

You're great.

Bright future. Good luck. Jean.

Oh, sure.

On that, I want you to let me
bring in my baby anytime I need to,

and I need a private area
to be able to pump milk.

Sure you do. We'll
talk about that later.

Okay.

Right.

- [SWANKY MUSIC PLAYING]
- This is Dr. Jean Milburn,

and you are listening to Sexology.

Please call in. I am here.

- [SOFIA] Every time. Every time.
- [ROZ GASPS]

- Oh, yeah.
- Psych.

That's how you're gonna
do me today? All right.

- Hey.
- I won't forget.

I know about Jerome.

I found this letter.

So he's my biological father,
isn't he? I went to see him.

Told him who I was.

And he asked me to leave.

I just want to know everything,
and I want to know it now.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[JACKSON] What are these?

[ROZ] Jackson, take a seat.

Before I met your mum,

I had an affair with a married man.

It was a mistake, but I was confused.

And then I fell pregnant with you.

It was unexpected and stressful,

but I very quickly
realized I was so happy.

The thing is, Jerome
already had a family.

I sent him updates and photos.

I thought if he saw
how incredible you are,

he might change his mind.

But he just sent them back unopened.

And then I met your mum.

And everything changed.

We wanted to raise you together.

To be a family.

We didn't want you to, in any
way, feel like you were unloved.

[JACKSON] What?

I have to go.

- I have to go.
- What?

- [JACKSON] I can't believe you lied to me.
- Jackson, we were trying to protect you.

- [ABBI] Hey, Savior!
- Hey.

Look who it is. It's the savior.

What a hero. You found Cal.

Uh...

Guys, I've got some bad news.

The church isn't going
to accept any of the money

that we raise tonight at the fundraiser.

Oh, I can't believe it.

- [ROMAN] I can.
- [OTIS] Oh, f*ck!

[ITEMS CLATTER]

Sorry. Sorry. I'm... I'm good.

Oh gosh.

[SIGHS] I'll see you guys in there.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

[ABBI] What are we
gonna fundraise for now?

[ROMAN] Well, there's this
charity for homeless guinea pigs.

[AISHA] Oh, I love guinea pigs.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I was gonna call you earlier,
but I was being all stubborn.

- I wanted to call you as well.
- [OTIS] Been thinking about what you said.

And I think I do feel uncomfortable
about some of our differences,

and I've never known
how to talk about it

because I'm scared that
I'm gonna get it wrong

or I'm gonna upset you.

I shouldn't be afraid of that.

I shouldn't be afraid
of those conversations

because you're my best friend.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

And I feel like I've
lost a lot this year,

and I couldn't survive if I lost you.

You're not gonna get rid of me.

Look, we're getting ready
for the fundraiser here.

- Mm-hmm.
- Do you care to join?

- Would I like to join?
- Would you like to join?

- Like to join?
- [OTIS] Am I getting a little invite?

[ERIC] You're getting a
little invite into The Coven.

I don't really know about
the whole hat and jacket.

Ah, absolutely not.
Take that off right now.

- Okay. Something else.
- It's just not very you.

- No, it's not.
- You can do better.

You can do well better.

- [SCOFFS] I hate this song.
- Yeah, same. Can you change it, babe?

[JEAN] There are treatment
options for a tight foreskin.

Ah! Oh my God. It's your mum!

Oh my God. I love her. Let's listen.

[ERIC] Maybe we raise money
for people with tight foreskins?

[JEAN] ...talcum powder.
Thank you, Adrian.

Keep those calls coming.

And remember, there are no
topics that are off-limits.

Our next caller is Joanna.

Hello, Joanna.

What's on your mind tonight?

[JOANNA] I, um...

Something, um, happened
to me when I was, um, .

There was a man.

He was... he was a
boyfriend of my mum's,

and he... touched me.

I mean, he...

abused me, and, uh,

I don't think I'm okay.

I am never happy or... or secure,

and I think I need to get some
help with that, but I'm scared.

Can you tell me what you're scared of?

The thing is, I've, um...

I've never liked to stay in
the same place for too long.

I, um...

I'm scared that if I stop moving

and I start properly
talking about what happened,

then it might all catch up on me,

and I won't be able to
pretend that I'm okay anymore.

[JEAN] Thank you for
sharing that, Joanna.

What you have experienced
is truly soul-crushing...

and deciding that you no longer
want to bury these things is...

is very brave and powerful.

But you're right. It is scary.

Now, I don't usually share things from

my own life, but

I just had a baby,

and I've been diagnosed

with postnatal depression.

Now, I didn't even realize
that anything was wrong.

I didn't want to accept
that anything was wrong.

But

just saying it out loud...

is really the first
step to getting help.

It sounds to me that you're
ready to do this work on yourself,

but I would urge you

to lean on your friends and
family during this time, Joanna.

There's no reason for you
to deal with this alone.

- Sexy.
- Thanks, babes.

She's ready, girls.

She's ready!

[SONG FADES]

Hey, Molloy wants to see you.

I...

Oh, okay.

Oh, um, Caitlin Reed called me.
Thanks for sending her my writing.

[ELLEN] It's a brilliant piece.

It's annoying because she wasn't
that interested in what I'd written.

But, you know, it's fine. I don't
think I want to write anymore.

I think I want to set up a tech
company, or maybe I'll go into banking.

Okay. Well, thank you.

- I'll see you later.
- I'll see you later.

[MAN] All right!

Bro, we got this!

Maeve, thanks for dropping in.

It's good to have you back.

Maeve.

Come on.

I was sorry to hear about your mother.

Yeah, thanks.

I also heard that there's been
some interest in Southchester.

Congratulations.

Yeah, I'm excited about it.

I just wanted to say that I know I was

harsh with you the last time we spoke.

You told me I wasn't
cut out to be a writer.

I was just trying to
push you to be better.

[MAEVE] I don't think you were.

And even if that is true,
your words really crushed me.

And I almost didn't
come back because of you.

And unlike most students on this campus,

I haven't grown up being told
I'm brilliant or deserving.

If I take a risk, and
it doesn't work out,

I don't have a safety
net to fall back on,

and you're going to come across
other students like me, so

I just want you to
know that, as a teacher,

your words hold a lot of power.

I went home and

reminded myself of what I'm
made of and where I want to go.

You don't get to be the
gatekeeper of my dreams.

Okay.

I can take that on board.

[SIGHS]

It's... it's just not easy
sometimes watching all of you

at the beginning.

Yeah.

- I'll see you in class.
- [MOLLOY] Mm-hmm.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I'm so glad you're okay.

I came to ask if you'd be comfortable
with us raising money tonight

for your top surgery.

That's amazing.

Thank you so much.

Will you come with me?

No. Uh...

I'd love to, but I don't think
I'm ready to see everyone.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

- [AIMEE] Do you like auctions?
- I've never been to one before.

- Have you not?
- No.

Oh, last one I went to, my

- Oh?
- Ugh, it was way too much ham.

- Viv.
- [VIV] Oh, he's here again.

- [BEAU] Can we please talk?
- [SIGHS]

Okay. Okay, um, Beau, we've
spoken about this already,

but you don't seem to be listening,
so I'm gonna be really clear.

I don't wanna talk to
you. I don't wanna see you.

I don't wanna hear from you.

I don't know what made you like this,

and it's probably something really sad,

and I hope you seek out some therapy,

but if you keep on trying to contact me,

I will report you.

Do you hear me?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Oh my God. [GASPS]

Connor Pearson!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

[FANFARE PLAYING]

Go, Connor! Get in there! Come on!

Thank you.

Oh, this means a lot.

- But I cannot accept the position.
- [CROWD GASPS]

I've been doing therapy
sessions for the last few days,

and you guys have a lot of problems.

It's been kind of
exhausting and a bit gross.

[WOMAN] Rude!

Otis, I only ran because I was hoping

I could get on the radio with your mum

because she's, like, super hot.

- [ERIC] Oh my God.
- But it's too much work.

So, yeah, I'm out.

[MIC SCREECHES]

Don't. Don't. Don't.

Okay, well, thank you, Connor.

I suppose that means we have
to go with the runner-up then,

which is

Otis Milburn!

Whoo!

[WOMAN] Lady hater!

[MAN] He's a misogynist.

- [MIC SCREECHES]
- [CHUCKLES]

Wow. Okay. Um...

Uh, thanks. This is unexpected.

Um... [CLEARS THROAT]

I didn't think anyone was gonna vote

for me after the whole meninist thing.

I voted for you.

Great. Thanks. Thanks for the vote.

Um...

Well, I'm... I'm afraid I can't
take this position either because

you guys already have a
fantastic student therapist,

and that made me feel threatened.

I convinced myself that
my behavior was acceptable

because I thought I was
the better therapist.

But I'm... I'm really not,

and I should never have taken
away someone's space like that,

and this position has
always been O's, so...

- Um...
- [WOMAN] She's a bully.

Get her off the stage!

Boo!

Boo!

[CROWD CLAMORING]

No. No, no, no.

Stay there. I... I would
like to say something.

Sh!

Hello. I'm Ruby Matthews.

[MAN ] Who?

The bed wetter. Uh...

I released that video
because I wanted to destroy O

like she destroyed me,

and I thought it was gonna
feel very good, and it didn't,

which is very annoying
because it made me realize

that this stupid college

is starting to make me have
the... the feelings or something.

And I honestly thought that

this whole "being kind"
thing was a load of crap.

Nobody can be perfect.
And you're certainly not.

But I've realized you're trying
to make the world a better place.

And that makes me want to be better.

would be to give her a second chance.

[JOY COOS]

Thanks. So, what's up?

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[MAEVE] Dear Otis.

You know I hate soppy romantic stuff.

So don't get your hopes up.
This isn't a love letter.

[GRUNTS]

When we first met, I
didn't trust anyone.

I thought if I kept everybody out,

I'd stop myself from
being hurt or let down,

which is what I was used to.

Then we set the clinic up together,

and I realized that most of the people

who came to us for help
really just needed connection.

And maybe I wasn't so different.

You have the rare ability to
make people feel truly seen.

And you did the same for me.

It was this and your relentless
optimism about human beings

that gave me the courage to start
opening myself up to other people.

For the first time in my
life, I didn't feel alone,

which allowed me to imagine
something bigger for myself.

I want you to know that
however much it f*cking hurts

that we can't be together, I
won't ever close myself off again.

Meeting you cracked my heart
open, and now it's forever changed.

And because of that,

I will carry a part of
you with me wherever I go.

I think what I'm trying to say is

thanks for everything,

dickhead.
