01x01 - Just one More Year… or Not

[bunniefuu]

ALL THE SAME…

Hey, Carol.

Hey there, Josias!
How you doing?

Hey, Carol. Carol, later.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

OR NOT

Carol Hey, where are you?

Beta - Whoa I'm late I'll
meet you at the pastry shop

Loves & Berries

Hey. Excuse me. Sorry.

Aw. Look at that.

- You look so cute on Instagram.
- I look great.

Wait till you see
me in this photo though.

This one's my go-to.

Love this photo.

- Oh, look. There she is.
- Hi.

Oh, hi.

Oh. Don't bother,
Beth. I have my usual.

- Oh, yeah, I remember.
- Mmm. I miss my cappuccino.

I mean, they make some stuff
in the US that's delicious.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- They're known for their coffee and all...
- Uh, no. It's not even close, Beth.

Mm-mmm. Really. Your
cappuccino's on another level.

- Oh, stop it, you guys.
- It's the best.

Your orders are already on the house.
You don't have to flatter me, you know?

Hey, you gonna tell
me about the trip?

Can you believe Carolina
has said nothing?

Oh, my... It was incredible. So
much to do, so little time, right?

- Yeah.
- And Bruno's aunt was super awesome.

She let us do everything.

Wow. If only I'd been able to travel
with my boyfriend when I was your age.

Just us two.

- Mmm. I would have raised hell.

- And how is baby Chico doing?
- He cries a whole lot.

- Makes sense.
- I already want out, and I just got there.

No, listen to me. It's just
a phase. I swear it'll pass.

I hope so. I hope so, Beth.

So let
me see if I know this.

- Mmm.
- One cappuccino with some almond milk,

and a pinch of cinnamon
and a pinch of salt.

- Mmm. It's just the best.
- Mmm. For you, Bruno?

- Orange juice is fine for now.
- Okay. I'll be right back.

Oh, and I want to see
those photos, okay?

- You got it.
- For sure.

Mmm.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

- Six kilometers in 30 minutes.
- Wow.

You guys should join me on my next
run. I go through Park Flamengo.

I will join you in another life.

I'll go. But just to watch.

Yeah. I'll bring popcorn.

Nice one, Mom. I think you
hired the perfect person.

- Whoo-hoo!
- Oh, man. I'm incredibly flattered.

Liz, I'm not sure that's
really a compliment, you know?

Ah.

Hold on.

What are you guys doing here? I
thought you got back tomorrow.

No, we got back yesterday.

Oh, my God.

Oh, hold on. Oh,
no. I'm all sweaty.

Uh, yeah. I'll pass. But I'm
super happy to see you, okay?

- Oh. Tell me everything. Sit down.
- Mmm.

Okay.

- Hold on. First off, I have a present.
- Really?

- Oh, I'm so glad you guys are back.
- Oh, man.

- Hi, Liz. Same here.
- I missed you.

- You too. Thank you.
- Mmm.

- Thank you, Liz.
- You're welcome.

- Thank you.
- Yes. Thank you.

Hey, girl. Mmm. I didn't
bring you anything.

How about this cappuccino?
The best in the world.

- Oh, I know.
- Mmm.

The place you liked the
most was the film school

you'll be studying at
next year. Am I right?

You have no idea. So…

Aw. It's been forever. For real.

I disagree. I've never
been so tense in my life.

You're exaggerating.

No, you just think I am because you
weren't the one declaring your love

- in front of a crowd.
- Shh.

Please no making
out. Show some respect.

By the way, did you guys…

- Come on. It's me. Don't lie.

- Shh!
- No way. You liar.

What? What are you girls saying?

Uh, well, she saw that photo of
the school, and she's shocked.

- Yeah. It's ginormous.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah, um...

So many electives to choose from.
You could be in class all day.

Yeah, and you know her, she'll
be studying twelve hours a day.

- I don't doubt it.
- Mm-hmm.

Although, if I went to New
York, I'd never leave Broadway.

Wait. Your present, open it.

- Oh, girl. You're the best, seriously.

Here we go.

Amazing.

- You like it?

- That's nice.
- It's so you.

You guys, it's cute. I
love it, really. Thank you.

Of course.

- Hello.
- Hi there.

- Mmm. Delicious.
- Nice, huh?

- It looks yummy!

- Really? This is a place of work.
- Oh, my…

Can you imagine if the
health inspector showed up

and saw you throwing
flour at your workers?

It was just a spur of the
moment decision. I swear.

- You're so dirty. Come here.
- Let me see that.

- Mom, did you see the gift Trix got me?
- There.

- No. What is it?
- Um, it's a ratings journal.

- I can rate and score different things…
- Huh. Oh, sorry. Ah.

- …books I've read, my opinions.
- Wow.

Is she gonna give
you one every month?

- Really, Mom? You're kidding, right?
- Yeah, honey.

You read a lot.

- Oh, I'm so proud of you, sweetie.

Honey. Are you going to
be this chipper tonight?

What? Am I ever in a bad mood?

Hmm. Really good joke. It
was short and sweet, huh?

No, I'm
serious, honey.

Tonight is really important
for me. And Tomás, he's...

- Oh, no! Not again with this boy.
- Huh?

- Do I really have to?
- Yeah, you do.

- Because he's my boyfriend's son.

Because it's important to me.

Geez, Carolina, I
don't understand.

Why can't you just be
my sweet little girl?

Well, when am I not?

Anytime I say anything
about Carlos or Tomás,

or try to bring
you two together.

Mom, he's your boyfriend, not mine. I
don't need to keep fawning over the guy.

Don't say that. You
don't have to fawn.

I just don't want you turning
into that sullen girl you become

whenever I mention
him around you.

Pleasure. My name's Carolina.

- Carolina, stop it. Get out of here.
- Mmm. Delicious. Hey!

Get out! You're such a clown.

- Don't do that to the window!
- Mmm.

Clean that up! Carolina!

Beta!

Hey. Wanna hit the beach?

Where in the world
have you been?

I was, uh, taking care of some
stuff for my mom.

- Is everything okay?
- Uh-huh.

- Okay, good.
- Hi, Beta.

- Hi.
- Oh, hey, your illustrations were perfect.

So you should just go for it,

so we'll finally have a
decent menu at this place.

I can't stand this
clipboard.

I don't know what to
say. Thank you, Beth.

I should be thanking you,
Beta. You're so talented.

All right.
Leave it to me, okay?

Now I just need to, uh,
scan the illustrations,

format the menu, then I'll e-mail
you the final version, okay?

Of course.

- And, Carol, about tonight…
- You see who's here?

- …do you think you could...
- Huh?

- No way!

Hey, you.

Hey, what was that?

- What was what?
- Beth was acting weird.

- Oh. Oh. Amanda.

Meet u at the beach - currently
solving a matter - Lifechanging

So dramatic! She should
go to school for theater.

What's going on? What happened?

She's probably buying new clothes.
How many Amandas have we seen lately?

- Plenty of 'em.
- Millions.

Well, ladies, good to talk to
you, but I gotta get going.

Wait. Why?

A friend is getting back from a
trip today. I'm gonna meet him.

Yeah. See you later?

Of course. See
you at home, babe.

- Look at them two.

When are we going to find
out the details of this trip?

When we find out what happened
back there with your mom.

Yeah. I'll tell you
guys on the way. Cool?

- Yep.
- Sounds good.

Grab all our things.

Relax, Carol. It's just dinner.
You said it yourself, right?

The guy comes here once a month?

Even if he came every week,

it's not like he's always
bringing his son along.

I'm just so not up for dealing
with something like this right now.

Can I sleep over at
one of your houses?

Um…
…I'm staying at Alex's.

If you wanna sleep over
and take my place, be my guest.

- Seriously, Chico cries 24 hours a day.

Oh, I have an idea. I'll go to
dinner, and you go to my place.

- You're horrible, Trix.
- No! Obviously, I love my brother.

I just love him a little less
when he keeps me awake.

How about you? Why don't
you just deal with it head-on?

- You know it's gonna happen anyway.
- Absolutely not.

Just meet him, say hi and
bye. It'll be easier than you think.

I don't want to meet this random guy.
It's the last thing I need right now.

Yeah!

Why does he have to come here?
He should stay in São Paulo.

Then, can I go instead?

- What? No way.
- Oh, my gosh.

You're already so gorgeous.
Just leave some for us.

New hair and I just
don't care.

Hmm. New hair or boy toy?

- That never changes.

- It's so good to see you, girl.
- Aw.

I missed you so damn much.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay. Did I overhear some gossip?
- Oh, about Carol's new boy.

A new crush? Come
on. Fill me in, girl.

Ah, she's just messing around

- and trying to give me a hard time.
- What?

Well, it's still kinda true.

He's a boy, isn't he? And
now he's in your life.

- Hey, lovely ladies. How are you today?
- Look who it is.

- How you doing?
- How you doing, Josias?

Iced tea, anyone?

Don't even have to ask. Just
leave them here with us.

- Wait a second.
- Three with lime and one regular,

- coming up.
- First one, Amanda.

- Ooh!
- Working hard today, Josias?

- Oh, hey. Thank you.
- Yeah.

- It's a scorcher today, huh?
- Yeah.

- Nice and cold, guys!
- Mmm.

You guys put on sunscreen?

- Yeah, we have.
- Of course.

All right. Thank you.

- Okay, thanks, guys.
- Thanks, Josias.

- Have a good day.
- See ya.

Bye, bye. Thanks a lot.

Guys, come on. Can someone
just tell me what's going on?

Oh, it's nothing. It's just I have
to meet my mom's boyfriend's son.

For real? Mind if I
come? Isn't he our age?

- Amanda.
- Worth a shot.

Actually, you could come over.

You see? If you
never ask… When is it?

It's tonight. At our house.

Tonight? Oh, I can't do it. I
have a date with my gym boy.

Do you ever actually
call these guys by name?

Well, if I use their actual names,
it'll be too many to keep track of.

This way's easier.

Uh, I'm…

My mom asked me to watch Chico,
so I don't know when I'll be free.

Mm-mmm.

Pretty, pretty please?

I do everything for you.

Ah, yay!

All right. Get off,
or it's a "no."

Okay. After all that,

I think I'm going to go for a
long swim to clear my head, okay?

- Hold this.
- Go ahead.

Bye.

Do you smell that?

Wasn't me.

No, he's nice and
quiet. He's all right.

Stay here, hmm? He will be fine.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
shh. Come here. Come here.

- He's all yours.
- Wait. What?

Yeah, uh, I did it earlier.
Now it's your turn.

- No. He's your brother.

Oh, for the love of God.

- Come on. Not like it's my fault.

Ma?

- Hey! I'm home! You guys okay?

- Uh, more or less.
- Is something wrong?

- A b*mb went down.
- Mm-hmm.

Come on. Come on. Oh,
my poor little baby.

He's all yours.

- Thank you two.
- No problem. Bye. Okay.

That was a close one.

I have never been so
happy to see your mom.

Oh, Bruno, you promised
you'd watch a movie with me.

And since Chico's gone, I should probably
watch the one I have to write about.

Okay, but you've already
seen it a thousand times.

You could write a
review from memory.

But it's not just a review, Bruno.
I have to critique the techniques.

I... I really need to show
them I can analyze a movie.

- All right. Okay.
- Mmm. Mmm.

Whoa, hey. Everything okay?

Everything is perfect. It's
all going great.

I just went a little too
fast. Everything's all right.

Well, you almost had a problem, okay?
I wasn't gonna show up, you know?

You wouldn't do that though.

Gosh, am I that
predictable? I can change.

No. You're just the best, most amazing
daughter anyone could possibly have.

Oh.

Mom. What's going
on? You are not okay.

No, it'll... it'll wash out. It's okay.
I don't know what you're talking about.

Everything's fine.
I'm fine. I'm awesome.

Hey, where R U? I'm leaving

Carol - Come quick!!!!
Something weird's happening here

This movie just
always amazes me.

The cinematography,
all the costumes…

My critique's gonna be positive.

But I bet they won't like it if
I only have good things to say.

I have to find a flaw or
some kind of weak point.

Oh. You look so beautiful.

I like that dress on you.

You look nice as well.

- Here.
- Thank you.

You really are an amazing
daughter, you know?

And you really are an
amazing mom, you know that?

- Mmm.

Even though you're making me go
to this dinner with Carlos's son.

- Look, I know I can be grumpy sometimes…
- Yeah.

…but it's just... It's
still sorta hard for me.

I've never seen you date anyone.

I know it's good for you to have
some company every once in a while,

but it's not like you guys
are gonna get married, right?

So I don't understand why
I have to meet this kid.

Honey, I don't understand why you
have such a problem with Tomás?

He's so nice and smart, very
into music. He's a great guy.

And Carlos... Carlos, well…

Carlos is more than special.

You know, this is the first time that
I've mentioned a boyfriend to you.

Thank you for that.

It's hard enough with one.
I can't imagine another.

I promise I'll try
to be better, yeah?

You guys don't see
each other a lot.

So I think I can share
you with him a little bit.

- But not too much. Okay?

Don't drag Tomás into this.

Someone's here. It's Carlos.

Whoa, Mom! You can't buzz someone
in if you don't know who it is.

It's Carlos and Tomás, sweetie.

Or Beta.

Wait. Why Beta?

What? I invited her to
have dinner with us.

Come on, sweetie. This
was only for our family.

- But Beta is my family.

Hello? Hi, my love.

Come in. Okay.

Come on.

- Hi!
- Hi! How are you, Beth?

Pretty good, sweetie.

How are you?

Hi.

So you two met already?

- Uh, I introduced myself.
- Uh-huh.

- Is everything all right?
- Uh, Tomás isn't feeling well.

He ate something on the road
that, uh, made him sick.

So I thought he
could use some rest.

Aw, that's too bad.

How about you, Carol? Huh?

How were the last few
weeks of your vacation?

Uh, much better, now that
all my girls are back.

- And how was the drive here?

Uh, long drives
are always a pain.

But, you know, small price to pay
for dinner with a woman like this,

- don't ya think?

- Hey, uh, Beta and I need a minute, okay?

Okay.

Those two, I tell ya…

It's the best news
I've heard all day.

You mean his son getting sick?

Um, do you seriously
think that kid is sick?

He didn't want to come, so that
means he might be on our side.

Look, uh, I don't think you should
treat this like it's some kind of game.

Nobody's against you.

I know, Beta. But, come on, can't you
just be on my side for a little while?

I talked to my mom.

It's okay that she wants to
spend time with her boyfriend,

but she doesn't need
to drag me into it.

Obviously, his son
Tomás thinks like I do.

Okay, now that I can finally
stop thinking about this dinner tonight,

you okay?

What happened?

Why were you so late?

- Oh, no. It was nothing.
- Girls, come on! Dinner's ready!

Can we eat?

- Okay.

- Mmm!
- Ta-da!

- Hey.
- I hope you guys like it.

- This looks amazing, doesn't it?
- Yeah.

Mmm, looks delicious.

- I'm sure it's gonna be really great.
- Would you like some salad?

Not sure "really
great" is appropriate.

My mom is one
amazing pastry chef,

but with savory food,
it's a true disaster.

- Carolina.

Oh, Mom. What's the point
of making savory stuff

when you're already the
master of sweet stuff? Hmm?

No, but really nothing to worry about.
I'm sure it'll be delicious, right?

Mostly because I have the
palate of a ten-year-old.

- Is that true, Carlos?

I'm sure
it's good. Let's enjoy.

Okay.

Everyone said high school
was gonna be tough.

But this is crazy.

Fourteen classes. We didn't
have half that many last year.

Portuguese, obviously,
math and econ, science,

on top of that,
chemistry, physics.

I don't know how you got through
college. I don't, honestly.

It just took one page, and I couldn't
bear to put down The Raven Boys.

Did you know the author is
speaking in São Paulo this year?

Mom, you could make plans
to see Carlos, right?

Around the same time, then I'd
be able to get her autograph.

That'd be so sweet. I
really want her autograph.

Girl, imagine getting her autograph.
You guys should do that for real.

Beta, help me clear the table?

Mm-hmm.

- Aw.
- Thank you.

Thank you. Oh, I'm
so proud of you.

- Mmm.

- Amazing, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

- She always does this.
- Is that right?

- Thank you.

Yay.

That went pretty well.
Right?

I guess so. You
were talking a lot.

Yeah, girl. I was
trying to get it over with.

It's about you, huh?

- Yeah, that's right. Of course.

Honestly, I'm just glad…

I don't know what you have
against him. He's a nice guy.

They seem so great together.
You don't think so?

I want him… at a distance.

I mean, he might tear us apart.

Come on, girl. You know how hard it was
for us to get everything back to normal,

for my mom to recover?

I know, but he's not going
to get between you two.

- Yeah.

Tomás IDK Y I'm here
- I won't move here

MARRY WHO YOU WANT,
BUT KEEP ME OUT OF IT

Carol!

- I think she's got a good chance.

What's up?

Right. My college days
are behind me.

Carol!

Engaged?

You're engaged? When were
you gonna tell me this?

Truth be told, it's been a while, Carol.
I've been trying to talk to you about it.

But whenever I bring up
Carlos, you run away.

You gotta be kidding.

Carol, come on.

Really, Beta?

They start playing house, and
suddenly they're getting married?

Carol, no one's playing here.

Carol, it just happened.

Maybe faster than we thought
it would, but it happened.

And Carlos just got an
offer to work at the school,

and he needed someplace
to live and...

- "To live"?
- Uh-huh.

Really?

- Carol…
- No.

- This will be good for us.
- No. Mm-mmm.

Just think, we'll finally
be able to have a family, Carol.

- Tell me this is a lie!
- Why would I do that?

Are you serious?

My mom decides to get engaged
and doesn't consult me?

But she's the one doing it, not you.
She doesn't need your permission.

You don't need to call everyone,
Carol. Everything's okay.

Yeah. But I need to be
with my friends right now.

- Yeah. My bad. Didn't mean it that way.

Carol, you see, it's not the
worst thing that could happen.

Group video call
Carol and Amanda

Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.

- You can call them back later.
- No, it looks important. Hold on.

Mmm. Hey. Was dinner okay?

Where on earth is Amanda?

Oh, hey. I found your
friend's phone, guys.

She dropped it in the street. She
needs to pay more attention, ya know?

What are you talking about? You
can't just take someone else's phone.

Sure can. Especially when
its original owner is super sexy.

God. Sometimes
it's just too easy.

Only you could make me
laugh at a time like this.

What's the matter?

- Hold on.
- Huh?

- Just gonna talk to her real quick.
- Okay.

- Grab me an acai ice cream?
- Yeah.

Hey, babe. Things okay with you?

I didn't want to
ruin your evening.

Sorry. I just need to vent,
that's all. We'll talk tomorrow.

Well, is everything okay?

No, but don't worry.

Let's talk tomorrow. Can
you come by the bakery?

Of course. We'll be there.

Are you sure you don't
want to talk about it now?

Yeah. I'll be okay.

- We're here if you need us.
- Okay.

Will you stay over?

Sorry. Alex is waiting for me.

Hmm.

You gonna be okay? I guess, if you
want, I can call him and explain that...

No. Yeah. You can go.

Uh, it'll be good to
be alone for a bit.

Well, if you need
anything, give me a call.

How about now?

Bye, Carol.

Bye.

Hi, Beta.

Can I sleep here?

Huh? Again?

Tell me what's going on.

I don't want to stay
alone in an empty house.

Honey?

I didn't want to hurt you.

I had no idea things
would happen like this.

Don't you think
it's a good thing?

Aren't you the one
who kept telling me

that I should try to have a life
again, that I should meet new people?

The pastry shop is a success
because you encouraged me.

I... I am working
because you encouraged me.

I... I have no idea
where I'd be without you.

None of this would be happening.

And now I have Carlos, and he's
been so good to me, my love.

I finally feel like
someone loves me again.

I feel so confident and happy.

And then he gets this opportunity
out of nowhere to work at the school,

so why wouldn't he accept it?

Why wouldn't he
come live with us?

I'd already been thinking
about it for a while.

But you've gotta
remember, honey,

we're always thinking
of you and Tomás first,

because we care about you both.

I'm sure you guys are
gonna get along super well.

Tomás is such an
intelligent guy.

He's so special, just like you.

You'll see what I
mean when you meet.

Honey, you're my number one
partner in this, my companion.

We'll be together
till the end of time.

Nothing can change
that. Nothing. Nothing.

It's gonna be fine.

You got it?

I didn't mean to do it this way.

You need to know that I'm
trying to give us a better life.

Uh, can you leave
me alone for a bit?

Okay.

Honey.

Hey. I love you.

It was unbelievable.

Never seen anything like it.

I almost fell over. I swear.

Oh, Juliana said
Flávio was going to call you.

Oh, yeah. We wound up talking
about a start-up he's launching

- to work with recycled goods.
- Ah.

- Really interesting.
- Mmm.

- Mmm.
- Good morning.

- Hey, my dear. Back to school already?
- Hmm.

Course not, Dad. I still
have two weeks left.

Oh, then why are you up so early? You
have some kind of appointment today?

No. I don't know.

- Mmm.
- Ooh, Martha. Let me explain this to you.

It works like this: They're going to
distribute some machines around the city.

People bring their recyclables
to the closest one.

And then they do these... This
sustainable disposal, you know?

Don't they have
this already in Brazil?

Well, this machine...

Whoa!

Hey, Carol.

Simon. Thanks so
much. They loved it.

- Carol, stop ignoring me, please.
- Good morning. Hi, guys.

- Hi, everyone.
- I know you're upset.

Oh, I'm so
glad you're here.

Could someone do me a favor
and just erase yesterday?

- And today as well.
- You okay?

I'm just shocked about this whole
thing. Beta told us all about it.

I'm angry. I'm being betrayed.
I want a different mom.

- You don't know what you're saying.
- What do you mean?

Of course I know
what I'm saying.

My life's been turned
upside down because of her.

- So, uh, yeah, I want a different mom.
- Girl, calm down.

It's gonna be fine. And you
have us here by your side.

Yeah. If you need a new place to live,
you're welcome to come stay with me.

And, maybe…

you know what would be an awesome way
to take your mind off this moment?

A new boy toy.

A new boy toy?

I don't even have an
old one, you know?

You should go there
and take his order.

Uh, not in the mood
right now, thanks.

Seriously, Carol? He may
never come here again.

Yeah, that's true.

This could be your one and only chance.
Go and do it. Go take his order.

- How do I…
- Lovely.

Good morning. Been to this
place before? Need a menu?

No, that's okay. I'm
waiting for someone to come.

Um, are you sure? Okay, we
have the best acai cupcake.

Seriously, if you like cupcakes and
