02x10 - I'm No Cinderella

[bunniefuu]

["Open" by Grace Aimi playing]

[Georgia] People change one of two ways.

Over time, with life chipping away at you,

or all at once because something big
forces the change upon you.

Loss can do it,

pain, trauma, love…

Big things.

I had to change a lot.

I've gotten good at it.

You guys are fine, right?
Not emotionally scarred beyond repair?

[Georgia]
I don't wanna be this good at traumatic.

I don't want my kids
to know what that feels like.

[song ends]

[opening theme plays, stops]

[upbeat music plays]

[Maxine] Ginny!

Oh my God.

Max.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay? What phase are we at?
Are we crying? Are we vomiting?

It's been awful.

I don't know,
it's kind of been an intense 24 hours.

I know.

I'm so sorry.
I didn't get it when Sophie dumped you.

- It's the worst.
- It's the worst.

- I just don't know what I did.
- You didn't do anything.

I know, I guess.

[groans] I hate men.

Well, be gay. Gay's fun.

Men are stupid.

Men are stupid.

How you doing?

So, obviously terrible.

- Come on, we've got English.
- No.

- [Abby] We gotta go.
- I know.

- Love you.
- [Maxine] Bye.

[phone dings]

[Hunter scatting]

[upbeat music playing]

[Maxine squeals]

- What?
- Okay, I gotta tell somebody.

I can't tell Ginny.
She's down the breakup rabbit hole,

and I can't tell Marcus
'cause he's feral right now,

but I kissed Silver,

and, oh my God, her lips are so soft
like you wouldn't even understand.

And we've been texting.

Marcus and Ginny broke up?

Yeah. He broke up with her.

[scoffs]

Idiot. [chuckles]

You look nice. Is that for Silver?

[scoffs]

Yeah. [laughs]

Yes. Yes, it is. [chuckles]

Okay. [chuckles]

[Brodie laughs, talks indistinctly]

Jesus.

[talks indistinctly]

[Norah laughs]

- Yo, you guys coming over tonight, right?
- Brother, of course we are.

My, uh… My cousin Brett got us
a 30-rack and a bottle of vodka.

[Brodie]
Oh, you're out of control, brother.

[Jordan] Mm, I'm out of control.
You're out of control.

[Abby] Yo, I feel like
getting weirdly messed up.

I want you to be concerned about me.

Oh, don't worry, we already are.

[Jordan] That's pretty much
Romeo and Juliet.

That's, like, a lot of stuff.

Hey, didn't you guys break up?

Hey, Marcus, you seem like
a social guy who loves to party.

You wanna join us at Brodie's?

- [door closes]
- Okay, everybody, settle down.

Keep it quiet.

Take your seats and get out your books.

Okay, so we're going back to Verona,

Romeo and Juliet.

Zach's not in school today? Oh.

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

Gil, I really don't think...

- Austin, can we talk?
- Gil. Gil.

[splutters] I'm sorry.

I was just so mad yesterday,

and you know that I would never
hurt you or your mom, right?

- Dad, I don't wanna talk to you.
- [Gil] Um…

Okay, you just… you need a little time.

I get it. It was a big night. [splutters]

We'll talk soon, okay, bud?

You can't keep him from me. I have rights.

Gil, I'm not doing anything. He's upset.

Then you better talk to him or something.

Or I'm... I'll make your life hell.

- Sophie.
- Thanks.

Thanks.

Joe, get out of the way.

Look, tomorrow is gonna be intense.

Small business Saturdays.

Why do you look all doom?

Isn't it a good thing
that we'll be really busy?

Yeah, it's freaking great.

It's a great idea.

I mean, that's Georgia, right?

She just thinks of everything.

What, you didn't know that?

You didn't know that
there's nothing she doesn't think of?

[laughs] Jesus.

[Joe sighs]

And why are you doom?

Marcus and I broke up.

Oh.

I'm sorry, that's tough.

I just feel discarded.

Listen, um, being rejected sucks,

but it's… it's not a reflection
on us, you know?

It's life. It's timing.

Just happens.

Wait, us?

Who rejected you?

No.

[Ginny] What?

What?

You were so good in Wellington, like…

- I really was, wasn't I?
- [Sophie chuckles] Oh yeah.

There she is,
my favorite little egomaniac.

[exhales] I missed you.

Yeah.

I really wanted to, like,
just call you and tell you stuff.

You still can.

[Maxine] Really?

Kind of felt like you didn't want me to.

'Cause, you know,
you said you didn't want me to.

I know, I was kind of harsh.

It was just really hard for me

to see you and talk to you.

[inhales] It was just easier not to.

It was hard for you?

- Really?
- Yeah, Max, obviously.

Yeah, it was.

God, I'm sorry I really like
that it was hard for you.

- [Sophie chuckles]
- I do.

[whispers] Suffer.

- [Sophie] Hmm.
- [Maxine laughs]

Okay.

[laughs]

How are things with Josh?

Oh, we broke up, actually.

- Oh.
- [Sophie] What?

Sorry.

[Sophie] Mm.

Sophie, why did you wanna get coffee?

I told you.

I missed you.

Okay.

But I kinda just started getting over you,

and this kinda feels like
a weird thing for you to do.

Do you still have feelings for me?

[hesitates, sighs]

I… I agree with why we broke up,

but I... I don't know,
I think we can still be friends.

I don't. [chuckles]

No, I can't be your friend.

I saw you with another person,
and I lost my freaking mind, Sophie.

[Sophie chuckles]

And I think it's really cool
that you're there in that place,

but I'm not.
And I think it'll be really painful.

And honestly, I…
I really like someone else right now…

[sniffles]

…so no, I don't… I don't think
we can be friends yet.

- I'm really sorry.
- [chair scraping on floor]

For what it's worth,
you still look great. [huffs]

I mean you. And you.

She thought you could take

I met your teacher.

Oh. Are you, um, upset that I dropped?

The opposite.

I'm not happy
you're the one being punished for it.

That's what Marcus said.

Yeah, well, we're not listening to Marcus.
We're listening to Dad.

Look, there are a ton of options in Boston
and classes that would challenge you.

I'd love to pay for it.

[Georgia takes deep breath]

Have you ever heard of Lake Powell?

Lake Powell?

It's a massive man-made lake.

And because it's in a crater,

all the sunsets are just
these wild oranges and pinks,

and people live on houseboats.

Isn't that cool?

Yeah, I guess.

- [Maxine] Ginny?
- [knocking on door]

[upbeat music plays]

Hello!

I'm here to kidnap you and cheer you up!

- Hi, Max.
- Hi.

You probably shouldn't
get married right now.

[whispers] It's very insensitive to Ginny.

Oh. [laughs]

I'll think about it.

- Thank you.
- [Ginny] Someone should find happiness.

Come on, Abby and Norah
are already at Abby's pregaming.

We gotta get you up, get you dressed.
We're having a good time tonight.

Pregaming? Hello?

Ooh. Yes, with Coca-Cola and Sprite.

Uh-uh.

I don't wanna go.
I wanna disappear into my bed.

[Georgia] I know you're sad
about the breakup.

It's going to really suck
for a few weeks, or months.

And I know you're gonna wanna
stalk him on Instagram.

Oh, he doesn't have Instagram. [sighs]

Of course he doesn't.
'Cause he's so artsy.

- [whispers] Tell me about it.
- [Ginny] I like that he doesn't do that.

Of course you do.

Ooh.

Purr.

Mom, it wasn't
some dumb high school thing.

It was real.

He was there for me.

He made me feel safe.

He made you feel safe?

I just wish I knew why he's doing this.

Sometimes he just gets like this.

Like what?

Like… he's depressed.

He kind of has these episodes.
It's happened before.

We're actually really worried about him.

My parents are
putting him back on his meds.

Don't tell anyone that,
'cause it's kind of private.

I… I swear
it has nothing to do with you.

- I didn't know it was that bad.
- [Maxine] Yeah.

So go easy on him, okay?

Well, if that's true, it sounds like what
he needs right now isn't a girlfriend.

It's a friend.

Oh, yes. He has very few friends.

He's my best friend.

Okay, I'm not gonna pretend
that one didn't hurt, 'cause it did.

Same, honestly.

[Maxine] Okay, come on.
I got your cute 'fit. Let's go.

Let's get you dressed,
let's get you going.

- Bye, Georgia.
- Have fun.

I was, like, choking of smoke inhalation

every time Sophie's name
was even mentioned,

and then when I went for coffee with her,
I was barely even affected.

- Whoa. What?
- What?

You saw Sophie for coffee?

- Yeah, they were at Blue Farm.
- [gasping]

Bad, Max! Bad!

- No.
- [Abby] No!

No, it wasn't even like that. It was…

[Maxine sighs]

not end up in the group chat?

would be mad at me.

She's phenomenal.

Yeah, she is.

so you must not be
that big of a sh*t. [laughs]

Just feel free
to just punch me in the face again.

- Really hard. [chuckles]

the best surprises about moving here.

No, Mom, we're actually pretty b*at.

Come in here now.

Hello.

You've been drinking?

- No.
- I'm sober as a judge.

Honestly, Mom,
I could use a drink. [laughs]

Marcus, you're not supposed to drink
on your meds.

[whispers] She knows.

- Somehow she knows.
- I don't know.

What is wrong with both of you?

Get upstairs to your room right now.

- [Marcus] Okay.

There is gonna be

- Good night.

Didn't I just see you go upstairs?

I climbed out the window.

- [sighs]
- [Marcus] I wanted to ask…

how is she?

[sighs]

Don't try to climb anything else.
You'll die.

I didn't hold her back.

I promised not to, and I didn't.

Listen, I was a…
I was a little harsh with you. I'm sorry.

[Marcus inhales]

You did a lot for my daughter.

She knows what it's like
to be loved by a man who ma...

A boy.

[sighs] Who makes her feel safe.

That's huge,

to feel safe.

I'm glad you gave her that. Thank you.

You're a good kid.

Okay.

Yeah.

You're welcome.

[Marcus inhales]

I get why you did it.

It's noble…

to let someone who loves you go
if you're only gonna hurt 'em.

[breathes deeply]

[exhales] Take care of yourself, Marcus.

Your parents love you a lot.

- Be good to 'em, okay?
- [exhales smoke]

You don't have to worry.

I won't tell anyone your secret.

My what? [chuckles]

[Georgia inhales]

You're home early.

Why'd you cancel The Mount?

- You always do this.
- [sighs]

You cut and run when things get hard.
But I don't get it.

You're happy here, you're settled.
It's everything you've ever wanted.

- So why do you wanna leave?
- You don't understand.

- Then tell me.
- Ginny.

Come on, Mom, whatever it is,
it's just... It's you and me.

[Georgia sighs]

You were here the other night.
There's a b*llet hole in the wall.

Your brother sh*t his dad.

It's time to get out of Dodge.
We gotta go.

That was horrible.

Gil is horrible.

But we could figure out
a way to deal with Gil.

We don't have to leave.

- Don't you love Paul?
- Of course I love him.

That's why we gotta go.
We gotta protect him.

This isn't about protecting Paul.
This is about protecting Georgia.

You're scared,
and when you're scared, you run.

So just, Mom, tell me,
what is it that you're scared of, really?

Don't you think I know
this is what I've always wanted?

I don't belong here, okay?

What?

I'm a fraud.
I'm a con artist. I'm a phony.

I'm a damaged, unlovable,
trailer-park teen mom m*rder*r.

Oh, and by the way,

thanks for telling your 16-year-old
ex-boyfriend my biggest secret.

You're right. We're safe here.

[Georgia breathes deeply]

I'm not normal.

I don't belong.

And I'm sorry, Peach,

but I can't marry him. I can't.

I'm… I'm just gonna drag him down.

Mom, Paul loves you.

I told ya, love isn't enough.

Why don't you think you deserve happiness?

I do not trust happiness.

There's a difference.

He wouldn't wanna marry me
if he knew everything.

Then tell him.

What?

[inhales] You've been through
some sh*t things,

things that I'll never understand

because you protected me.

I know you think you don't deserve this,
but you're wrong.

You're smarter than anyone,

and you taught me to be strong.

So… [inhales]

…so tell Paul about your past,
tell him about Gil,

tell him all of it.

- All of it?
- No, of course not all of it.

[sighs]

[sad music plays]

You belong here, Mom…

and you love Paul.

[sobbing] But what if he doesn't want me?

Well then, I hear
the sunsets in Utah are beautiful.

[sad music ends]

[Georgia panting] Please don't speak
until I'm finished.

This isn't gonna be fun. [sighs]

You know how you always say
you… you want us to be a team,

and for me to be honest,

and you feel like
I'm holding back? [exhales]

[inhales] Okay, well,
careful what you wish for.

[inhales] No, it's not the time for jokes.
Sorry, I'm really nervous.

[Georgia panting, groaning]

[breathing deeply]

I wanted so badly to be the person
that you thought I was,

but I'm not, I'm not that person.

And you deserve to know
who you're marrying, so… [exhales]

I'm the reason Gil went to jail.
I framed him for embezzlement.

To be fair, he was already embezzling,
but I got him arrested

intentionally to get rid of him,
'cause he was an abusive assh*le.

Wait, did he hurt you?

I'm the one who opened up the credit cards
in Ginny and Austin's name

and used them to get by along with
the money that I stole and framed him for.

[inhales] Um…

So basically, I've been a hustler
and a criminal my whole life,

including Wellsbury.

Yeah, so, Cynthia was right.
I… I stole from work.

I did, I took it, but I put it all back.

But I did that
because that's who I am. [inhales]

[clicks tongue] Is there anything else?

Yeah. Oh yeah, there's more.

Uh, why not go for broke? [chuckles]

I blame therapy.

Uh, what's some more
healthy communication we can do?

Oh, this one's fun.

Kenny's ex-wife contested the will,
and Nick's boyfriend Jesse

is actually a PI that she hired
to trail me and take me down.

Let's see, what else? What else? Uh…

Oh, I... I've been in jail before.

I lost custody of Ginny.

I was in a motorcycle g*ng.
I've shoplifted.

Um, just…

a few other things,

but it's really just all under
the same themes.

Is it hot in here? 'Cause I'm really hot.

Okay, why did I not know
about any of this until right now?

Because you are literally… [sighs]

…the knight in shining armor
I've been dreaming about

since I was a little girl. [sighs]

But Cinderella gets the prince
and the happy ending,

and I am no Cinderella.

There's more.

There's more?

Gil's pissed that I put him in jail,
and he wants money.

Your money. Well, your family's money.

My family's money? Gil?

[inhales] He's been threatening me,

and he wants to blackmail me
after we're married,

or he's gonna tell you the stuff
I just told you,

like who I really am
and how awful I really am.

And, uh, the other night,
he was getting pushy with me,

and the kids were here,
and Austin was trying to defend me,

but he found one of the g*ns
that I had hidden,

'cause I also lied
about only having one g*n,

and Austin sh*t Gil in the arm.

Okay, I get you're probably mad.

Mad? [scoffs]

Mad?

I don't expect you to marry me.

I don't blame you,

but it was too good.

Everything I wanted was right there,
and you were offering it to me…

[inhales] …and I took it,
and I'm so sorry.

- [Georgia hesitates]
- [sighs]

I gotta get out of here. Um…

Just...

[exhales]

[wood creaks]

[keys jangling]

[door slams]

[banging on door]

[loud rock music plays]

[screams] Open up this door!

Georgia!

I'm gonna k*ll you! I know it was you!

And they've pulled all my accounts
and gone through all my history!

I'm gonna go to jail!

[banging on door]

Georgia!

Open the damn door!

[banging continues]

- [mellow music plays]
- [sighs]

[knocking]

[groans]

I'm kind of drunk.

[Ginny] I'm sorry.

I didn't see it.

See what?

[Ginny] It isn't about me.

I didn't get it because I...

I was caught up in my own sh*t.

And I'm not trivializing my sh*t,
because… [laughs]

…I mean, sh*t's been out of hand.

If you knew half of the sh*t
that's been going on...

Is this your idea
of making it not about you?

You were there for me when I needed you,

and then you weren't there anymore,
and I felt that.

And then I heard you tell Max
that you didn't wanna be with me.

And I just…

I got hurt,

and I thought it was about me.

It wasn't.

[sighs]

You needed me to be there for you.

I'm not mad at you.

I'm not anything.

You love me.

- Yeah.
- [Ginny] I love you too.

- I don't want that.
- [Ginny] I know.

But I just heard my mom
tell Paul all this sh*t,

and I'm not sure how that's gonna end.

But I want you to know I'm here for you,

for all your ugly. I don't care, I'm here.

Don't be.

[scoffs]

Okay, I'm losing sight
of why I came over here,

so I'm just gonna...

- You're just...
- [Marcus] What?

Shut up. All right, turn around.
Thank you.

[sighs]

[clears throat]

Even if we're not together,
I can be your friend.

I can be your buddy, your bro.

[scoffs] Yeah, okay, bro.

Okay, bro.

I don't know, brah.

- I don't know anything, brah.
- [chuckles]

Let's just forget all this weird bullshit

and grab our boards, hit the waves, brah.

[laughs]

It all makes sense on the waters, brah.

Oh, dude,

when you get, like, spit out, you just...
You get so pitted,

and you smack the lip,
hit like, just whoopah,

and you just get, like, so pitted, brah.

[laughs]

I'm having a really hard time.

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

- Any word?
- [sighs]

[Ginny sighs]

[phone buzzes]

[gasps] It's Paul.

He says he wants me
to meet him at the office.

- At the office?
- [Georgia sighs]

That's weird.

Is that a good sign?

For all I know, he's waiting there
with cops to arrest me for stealing

and just doesn't wanna do it
in front of you guys. [sighs]

Yeah, maybe we should go,
actually. Pack up the car.

No. [inhales]

No, I have to see him. I have to go.

I owe him that much. [exhales]

[tense music plays]

[exhales]

[breathes shakily, sighs]

[chair scraping on floor]

Georgia, this is my attorney, Perry Nolan.

Are you having me arrested? [inhales]

Please sit down, Georgia.

[chair scraping on floor]

[footsteps approaching]

[knocking on door]

[Gil] Georgia?

Paul?

Huh.

What's going on?

[inhales] Gil, I asked you to come here
to tell you that what you have been doing

has crossed over into harassment.

[Gil scoffs] You're joking, right?

You don't know half
of what's been going on.

Oh, believe me,
Georgia has told me everything.

And here are some facts for you.

You, sir, are a convicted felon.

One call from me to your parole officer
and you go back to prison.

You can't do that.
I don't care who you are.

Oh, I'll tell you who I am.
I'm Paul Randolph.

I am the mayor, you are in my town,

and I will tell you right now,
you will not be getting any of my money.

Not now, and not after I am married.

Austin is my son…

- and I'll fight for custody.
- [Paul] Hmm.

[Paul scoffs]

Perry?

You see, Mr. Nolan here
is very prepared to battle for custody,

but I suspect
that will not go so well for you.

[chuckles] You don't realize
the mistake that you're making.

You don't wanna do all this for her.

She's not worth it. Trust me.

[Paul] Gil…

[inhales] …from now on…

if you wanna see my stepson

or speak to my wife,

you do so through me.

Thank you.

Thank you, Perry.

[inhales] I am still very,
very angry with you.

[scoffs] I didn't sleep last night.

I was just thinking all night long
that I could not marry you, not now.

My… My family, my… my career… I just... I…

I could not…

marry you.

It is not smart.

But an even bigger feeling was
that I cannot walk away from you either.

[gentle music plays]

Because for better or worse, Georgia,

now that I have met you,

now that I know what it feels like
to be in love with you,

I can't see spending the rest of my life
with anyone else.

You said you were worried that
you were going to ruin me, Georgia Miller.

Well, it's too late for that.

You already have.

Now, come here.

[sighs]

Say that part
about how it's your town again.

[chuckles]

Georgia, I am not here to save you.

You do that yourself.

We're a team.

- [both chuckle]
- Okay.

["Raw Thoughts" by Baby Queen plays]

[Georgia] Ginny!

Ginny.

Paul still wants to marry me.

God, that's amazing.

[laughs]

[Georgia panting]

What's wrong?

I canceled the Mount. There's no wedding.

I can't believe I forgot to tell him
I accidentally canceled our wedding.

This might be the straw
that breaks his back.

Did you tell any of the guests
you canceled the wedding?

No. I didn't want Paul to know.

What?

So then you just need a venue.

Ginny…

- [Ginny] Do you trust me?
- No.

Leave it to me. [squeals]
