[upbeat singing in
Hindi and Marathi]

[phone ringing]

Aqsa [on phone]:
Mom, you can't
call me this much.

I only called you
twice this morning.

Aqsa [on phone]:
More like three times
in half an hour.

So?

You get such freaky
news about the pregnancy

and expect me not to worry?

Aqsa [on phone]:
Worrying about me
isn't gonna help anyone.

Bye. Love you.

Shehraz Voicemail VO:
You have reached Shehraz

at Cyber Market Electronics
Resale and Repair.

Press one for
handheld devices.

[phone beeping]

[phone ringing]

Good?

Are the children the only
thing we have to talk about?

[soft electronic music]



[phone buzzing]

[soft electronic music]

[phone blooping]

[knocking on door]

Wolf:
Hello?

Hello?

Wolf:
Hey.

Oh, um, come in?


me right up

and then went
back to bed.

Looked like she
was sleepwalking.

Mm, wow.

If she's letting people
into the apartment

in her sleep-

Yeah, we're gonna have
to have a house meeting

about that.

Hi.

I'm trying to formulate
an articulate way

to express what
I'm thinking.

I left you hanging
when you told me about

medically transitioning.

It doesn't freak me out.

Um...it's just
because of my dad

all this stuff is,
you know,

wrapped up in
triggering stuff.

Yeah, I get that.

The transitioning part
doesn't freak me out.

Thank you for
saying that.

Ah...I, I know you don't
mean to be this way

but you're not the most,

or-or you
haven't been...

with me the most...

stable person.

Like, um,
psychologically?

No, no, no, no, no. Um...

I was thinking about
the word "stability"

in a non-mental
health context.

It's just, it's hard to know

what's gonna come
next with you.

From you.

Out of you.

Yeah, that would
be tough to know.

I also don't know what's
gonna come out of me or you

or, like, anyone.

Um...

Please open this.

Maybe it can fix
this awful vibe.

Sabi:
It's my head.

I think I'm in for the ride.

Is what I'm saying overall.

You think?

Yeah.

You're not sure?

I'm allowed to
have uncertainties.

Am I?

I don't get it. Um...

Are you-are you upset
about the gift?

No.

This perception that, like,

you're the stable one
in this relationship

is what's upsetting.

Constantly being okay
with everything is actually

you trying to control
literally everything, Wolf.

In case that hasn't
dawned on you yet.

So if, yeah, me
stumbling around

like every f*cking
human on this planet,

including yourself,

is like too much for you

then maybe you should
consider whether or not

you wanna be in this.

This is a lot!

Yeah, I know!

This is confusing!

I'm so upset about what's
going down right now.

Wow, an emotion.

The world is ending!

That was mean.

Not meaner than being
called unstable!

Wolf!

Wolf!

[phone ringing]

[knocking on door]

Kween, what's happening?

Wolf and I had a
massive fight.

Okay, what about?

He called me unstable.

Also my mom's not
doing too good.

Then why? Wait, one
thing at a time.

I, I called her back an
hour after she called me

and she didn't pick up.

She has never not
answered one of my calls.

That doesn't sound
like a thing.

Tell me about Wolf.

Kween.

Kween! The 'mones be ragin'!

Don't do that!

What?

Blame emotions
on my hormones!

Fair.

But there's a chance it
might partly be that.

I don't know what
went down with Wolf

but I'm pretty sure your mom not
answering her phone for a beat

means literally nothing.

Sabi:
I just have a feeling, okay?


You need to find a
deep chill, my love.

Come!

Watch 'Real Housewives
of Potomac' with me.

Eh, but not here 'cuz, uh...

Mackenzie's throwing you a
surprise gender reveal party

and she needs prep time.

Wait, what?

Sorry.

Mackenzie?

Isn't she still cis?

A cis person throwing
a gender reveal party

is not ironic or cool.

How could you be
letting this happen?

The party sounds like it
has potential rager vibes

and we haven't had
a housewarming!

Mackenzie's doing
all the work!

I'm gonna go check
to see if my mom

hasn't jumped off a bridge.

She's not jumping
off a bridge.

When I come back

this party better be
completely and fully un-alived.

Understood?

My gosh, fine.

♪ You, you, you, you, you,

Raffo baji.

I tried calling you.

Yeah. I was feeling bored.

I haven't been
here in so long.

Remember your grand opening?

Imran was so nervous for you.

That the business
will be a flop.

Hmm.

Raffo:
My goodness.

Fifteen years ago now?

Twenty.

What?

Twenty years.

You served that tea

with the little,
little ba*ls out front.

Just two doors down.

Still there.

Same tea shop.

Twenty years.

[bright electronic music]

Heeeey! Bring the
cooler in, kay.

Not your bottle service, kay.

[gasps] Is that vodka?

That's almost good for you.

Oh, we're gonna
get messed up!

Wait. Ugh.

There will be no party.

What?

Of course there's gonna be a
party and it's gonna be fetch.

I told Sabi and
they freaked.

What?!


told Sabi about a party

that Sabi would've wanted
if they didn't know about it

until it happened!

Mackenz! You literally
barely know Sabi.

Sabi needs to be
celebrated right now.

Something their other friends
don't seem to fully get.

The audacity.

Mom.

Mom?

Hard drive.

Oh.

Maybe I should take
a computer class.

What's in this box?

CPUs.

Oh.

I really don't
care for computers.

Tell me.

All this.

I'm a business owner.

Okay.

Raffo?

♪ Ah, ah, ah ♪

May I ask you to hold me...

for only a moment?

Tea. I'll get us some tea.


When did Sabi come to Canada?

When they were really young.

Trick question!

Sabi was born here.
You know nothing.

Why do I bother you so much?

Cuz.

Why are you trying so
hard to be in with Sabi?

Because I like them
and I'm a try-er.

Does it have to be more
complicated than that?

Who'd you invite to
your pushy party anyway?

I compiled a list by
studying engagements

with Sabi's socials.

Aw, that's invasive.

Ah, Wolf, Aqsa,
Izzy, Paul, Bessy, Loki-

Whoa, whoa.

Sabi dated Loki for like
ten minutes in grade twelve.

No to Loki. Continue.

Marine.
-They're cool.

Pat.
-Sabi still talks to Pat?

I dunno. It seems like it.

Continue.
-Rino.

And who in this
wide earth is Rino?

Damn. That creature again.

Come.

Ah, Rino went to
electrician school with Sabi.

It would be fully traumatizing
for them to walk in and bam!

Rino! So that can't happen.

'Kay.

Show me his picture again.

[sighs deeply]

Marane mia.

Look at that cake.

I'm undecided about
the chewy bits.

I can't remember the last
time I went to the cinema.

Do you want to
go to the cinema?

Baji, is it okay if
I ask you to leave?

I know you're not
in a good space,

but making me uncomfortable.

I understand.

I'm being freaky.

Thank you.

For what?

For being the kindest man.

♪ Ah, ah, ah ♪

Yeah, sorry,
the party's cancelled

cuz the person who's
throwing the party

got cancelled.

Mackenzie:
Uh uh.

Everyone who's coming to
the party is cancelled.

Everyone is cancelled. Bye!

It's complicated because
the party got relocated

to the metaverse and
we were just told

that we are in the metaverse

so no one knows how to
get there from here

if there Is already here.

[in British accent] Cuz your
refrigerate is running!

Yeah! Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Why am I laughing?

Sabrina?

You still coming?



Aw shiiiiit.
No sects for you, Rino.

[laughs] Aren't
you saying sects?

I know. Oh my God,
I forgot how to say it.

Sex.

Sects.

Hey Wolf.

Just calling to say
if you got an invite

to my gender reveal party
it's not a real thing.

Also, I feel really
shitty about earlier.

Call me when you can.

[Raffo gasps]

Mom?

Hey, are you okay?

Hey, I've been looking
for you all day.

Why don't you have
your phone with you?

I don't have my phone?

I was going to press the buzzer
but I didn't want to bother you.

How long have you
been standing here?

Half-hour to
forty-five minutes.

Oh Mom.

I think I'm losing it.

It's okay.

Your father may
have had his faults

but he knew how
to give a hug.

Here it comes, okay?

[Raffo sobs]

Everything is a
lot right now.

I know.

Too many things.

Fully.

Hey, what can I do
for you right now?

Anything you want.

Can we go to the cinema?

[soft groovy music]





[soft music]

I'm so living for the
over-the-top-ness.

Do you remember this film
from when you were a child?

Kinda, yeah.

Raffo:
So that's the son who stayed
behind with the family

and the one who went away

is looked down upon

because he brought shame
to the family name.

Right.

I like the one who left.

Really?

I like people who
do bold things.

He is very good looking.

Hey.
-Oh, hey.

What are you doing here?


called everyone but me

to cancel.

You didn't get my message?

Guess not.

If they cancelled the party

why does it look like
a rager happened here?

Yeah, super good question.

Also, somebody puked
in the bathtub.

Ew.

Hey, you, um, don't
have to clean up.

Don't tidy.

Um...I got you something.

New headphones?

Your old ones are shitty

and I know you can't deal
without noise cancellation.

I mean...

What?

It's fine.

Clearly it's not.

No, it's fine.

Can you just, like, not be
okay with something for once?

Fine. Why did
you get me this?

I don't understand
the question.

You were weirded
out by my dumb gift

and so much so
that we broke up.

And then you go eclipse that

with this massively
expensive one?

We broke up?

Didn't we?

I guess that wasn't clear.

To me.

If we broke up
why are you here?

I don't have a
solid answer.

Are you seriously not
gonna take the headphones?
