[Goldi over PA] Due
to play rehearsals,


today's peer tutoring session will be
moved from the gym to the digital arts.


Hey, I just have revisions
for scenes five, eight and ten.

All of Hope's scenes.

Yeah. Just minor tweaks
to fit the actress.

We haven't cast that part yet.

I thought Grace was gonna
read those lines today.

No, it turns out that
won't be necessary.

- Lola read for Hope. She was amazing.
- I'll bet she was.

[sighs] Do you know how to get rid of a
gajillion butterflies from your stomach?

Don't be nervous. You'll be great.

[inhales deeply]

Lola, why don't you go wait with Rasha?

Okay.

- Are you hooking up with her?
- What? No!

Because there's some serious
tension between you two.

- I'm with Tristan.
- Who's been in a coma for three months.

So there's been no boot knocking?

- Okay. The guy has a right to move on.
- The guy has a boyfriend.

The guy is right here.

You can't break up with
somebody when they're in a coma.

You can't just cheat on them, either.

- Is he supposed to wait forever?
- Tristan has hung on so long.

And who knows? Maybe
Miles is the reason why.

Plus, I don't want a showmance
destroying this play. [coughing]

Let's just start the read through.

I am allowed to do that when
my boyfriend's in a coma, right?

When you see Lola, you'll be convinced.

All right, everyone.
Start with scene one.

[sighs]

- How was the read through?
- [both chuckle]

You remembered that was today?

Council president. I have the whole
school schedule on my phone. [chuckles]

And I thought you
were my number one fan.

[chuckles] Well, maybe
you'd settle for lab partner?

I'll get our kit.

May I help you?

- Switch partners with me.
- [scoffs] No way.

Come on. I need some
face time to work my...

[whispers] Work my magic.

[scoffs] Waste of time. Rasha's gay.

That's really offensive, Zoë.
Just 'cause she has short hair.

That's really offensive, Zoë.
Just 'cause she has short hair.

I'll have you know that
I have amazing gaydar.

Hmm. If only there were
an example of a lesbian

who you dated for months
and thought was straight.

- Oh, my God. You like her, too.
- [scoffs]

Well, just switch with me,
and then I'll let you know.

Well, you can't ask her.

You could force her to
out herself. Not cool.

Okay. Then I'll just
non-creepily creep her socials.

They're all private.

But if you're really that thirsty,

- add her.
- Cool.

You're gonna lose.

[Zoë] Hmm.

[Zoë] Hmm.

[school bell rings]

[camera clicks]

[scoffs] We're supposed to get
their attention by looking hot.

You look like a scared deer.

Well, I'm sorry, I was caught off
guard by the pants you forgot to wear.

- Wait, whose attention?
- Jonah and Tiny!

They need to see what they're
missing so they can apologize.

[Tiny] Think fast.

Tuna or roast beef?

- You guys already made up?
- [Tiny] Um...

Frankie. You look...

Sandwich?

- You still haven't heard from Jonah?
- Not all weekend.

I sent him one text, but
he didn't respond, so...

ball's in his court now, I think.

[camera clicks]

- And the selfies are...
- To get his attention.

I... I don't know what he's thinking
or what I should be thinking.

What do you think?

Uh... well, I think...

That you're gonna come
over later and help me craft

the perfect photo to get him to call?

[Tiny clears throat]

Actually, we're playing
Boggle after school.

Tiny thinks he might finally b*at me.

Just text him and get some answers.

Well, I can't double text
without seeming desperate.

So a perfect selfie is my best move.

And Boggle sounds great. Does : work?

Great. Yeah, : it is.

- Hey, um, we should talk.
- Okay.

So, Grace and Jonah aren't fans?

No, no, the part's yours. Um...

but... [inhales deeply]
the other thing, uh...

- We can't...
- I get it.

Uh, he's your sick boyfriend.

- And what we've got is...
- It's not that I don't care.

That I didn't. Or won't...

I know. But we can still talk, right?

Yeah.

And text?

I don't see why not.

Good. I like talking to you.

I like talking to you, too.

Okay, uh... good talk.

Friend request accepted.
Just don't like anything.

[Zoë] All the comments are in Arabic.
[Winston] Well, that's reasonable.

[Zoë] All the comments are in Arabic.
[Winston] Well, that's reasonable.

What does " bb" mean?

There. Under the pic of
her and that cute girl.

Uh, well, I think it
means sister or cousin...

Nice try. I'm googling.

"Habibi" means
"sweetheart" in Arabic.

So she's into girls. Boom!

Okay. Uh, then why did that guy
write " bb" under a pic of her?

I bet he's the ex.

[Zoë scoffs]

[Zoë scoffs]

Zoë!

Zoë!

I didn't know there was council
business scheduled for today.

No. I just, um...

Hey, do you know if there
are any Muslims who are gay?

[stammers] As student council president,

I'm trying to understand
the needs of my constituency.

[sighs] Some things in the Qur'an
are open to interpretation...

but h*m* isn't one of them.

From my understanding, it's a sin.

Thank you! That really
clarifies the situation.

Boom! Now you gotta
ask Rasha out for me.

Why would I do that?

Because you used me as a
beard for all of last year,

so now you owe me till the end of time.

Make sure you tell her I'm a good cook.

[cell phone vibrating]

[cell phone vibrating]

I have... to go.

How long until you can file
a missing persons report?

How many seven-letter
words do you have?

Ugh, I've been banished
to relationship limbo.

- Look. [sighs]
- I can't. And four.

- [Frankie sighs]
- words. points.

- b*at that.
- You know, I will next time.

I can see he's been online,

so why can't he just take .
seconds to click "like" on my...

Oh. Oh, my God, he posted a photo.

That's a mug at The Dot.

Beside a tower of milk creamers?

[sighs] That's our thing.

Seeing who can build the tallest tower.

How can he do that without me and
then post it when we're not speaking?

Dude's not even allowed to
drink coffee without you?

[scoffs] You're intense.

[Frankie] He doesn't even
drink coffee this late.

Wait.

If it's not his coffee,
then it is someone else's.

Game over. We are finding out.

You're actually gonna let her do this?

I've learned not to argue.

[Mrs. Milligan] Thank you so much
for all you've done for my son.

[inhales sharply]

Hey.

I wish you would've been
here when it happened.

- Can I see him?
- Yeah, yeah.

[Miles] Tris.

It's Miles.

Can you hear me?

[Mrs. Milligan] He knows we're
here, but he can't communicate yet.

But here he is. Looking so handsome.

You do. [sniffles]

Once we get these roots touched up.

[Mrs. Milligan] He should
rest. It's been a big day.

I'll go.

Take a minute.

I love you.

Don't ever doubt that.

[gasps] There.

In the corner.

[softly] Frankie's got no chill.

[chuckles] Here I am
jumping to conclusions

when he's just working on Miles' play.

Mystery solved. Can we go now?

Well, I'm gonna go say hi.

What? We're already here. [chuckles]

- Frankie, what are you doing here?
- [Frankie] You just...

Tower of creamers...

Frankie, you need to leave.

- Now.
- Is she why you've been avoiding me?

- Oh. No, no. Wait...
- Eve, you don't need to explain anything.

We know each other from NA.

- I just needed an emerge vent session.
- NA?

[softly] It's Narcotics Anonymous.

Oh.

Right. Gotcha.

Okay, I'm gonna leave now.

- Possibly forever.
- [Jonah sighs]

[Tiny sighs]

[coughing]

Switch computer science
partners with me.

[scoffs] No way. Tiny
gets, like, a % percent.

No offense to Rasha.

I can't stay partners with her.

- It's too hard. Plus, you owe me.
- Owe you what exactly?

For leading me on last year,

which has me continuously falling for
straight girls, thank you very much.

What's really going on?

Well, Goldi says Muslims can't be gay.

There's a billion Muslims in the world.

Do you honestly think
they're all straight?

I don't know. But now Winston
wants me to ask her out for him.

Hmm, why don't you just talk to her?

I can't.

Because you're scared of rejection.

Either you grow a pair and
ask the girl you like out,

or you keep switching lab partners
for the rest of your life. [chuckles]

[Miles] Sometimes I wonder,

are you real?

Or a figment of my imagination?

I'm real.

Wish I could touch you.

[stammers] And kiss you.

Um...

- Sorry. Sorry. Just stop.
- [Jonah sighs]

- What is it now, Miles?
- [Miles] Everything!

Look, Hope's the one
that comes on to Hero.

It's not the other way
around. She seduces him.

Oh, really? Is that what happened?

And if she would've just
minded her own business,

Hero wouldn't have fallen
for any of her tricks.

- What tricks?
- [sighs]

Maybe we can try it a different way?

[Miles sighs]

No. You can't just rewrite the
story whenever it suits you.

Well, he is the playwright, so...

- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing.

[stammering] I can't do this.
I have to get to the hospital.

I'm so sorry about last night.

So you bought me a guitar?

Why didn't you tell me you
were in Narcotics Anonymous?

It's not something I advertise.

- Well, it hurts that you didn't tell me.
- So this is my fault?

You should've told me.
I'm your girlfriend.

You were the one who asked for space.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

At the party, before I left.

Okay, maybe, but...

I didn't mean space space.

I just meant space.

Right. Well, I have no idea
what you're talking about. So...

When you wouldn't have sex
with me, it hurt my feelings.

Seems like everything I
do hurts your feelings.

I care about you, Frankie.

I just don't know how to prove it.

Good talk.

So, Winston. Uh... what do you think?

He's nice.

Do you... like him? [chuckles]

Sure. I like lots of people. [chuckles]

But he's not, like,
you know... [chuckles]

He's not like us, right? [chuckles]

You mean, how he's...

weird? I'm sorry. What are you asking?

Winston wanted me to ask if
you'd get coffee with him?

Oh! [chuckles] I'll
totally get coffee with him.

Awesome. I'll, uh, let him know.

So, we're done.

The robot. I can start programming.

[Miles reading] "Get well soon,
so I can make fun of you again.

From Zoë."

From Zoë."

Tristan, I made a mistake.

I cheated...

- once...
- [gurgling]


Tristan?

Help! Please!

[stammering] Look, I think his
airway's blocked, or something.

[gurgling continues]

Oh. No, he's breathing.

That gurgle is a sign of
progress towards speaking.

Tris, are you upset? Are you mad?

Look, squeeze my hand if it's a yes.

[Mrs. Milligan] He's at square one.

He doesn't understand
the world around him.

No, but I need him to, um...

The hard part's supposed to be over.

I know. It's a lot to digest.

But the doctor...

said this website would
explain everything.

How long does it take before you
feel secure in a relationship?

- A day, max.
- Months? A year?

Helpful.

[sighs] Okay, real talk.

I'm not a crazy girlfriend, am I?

Do you really want real talk?

Well, I was hoping
you guys would be all,

"No, not at all, Frankie.
You're totally sane and normal."

I'm not that bad, am I?

No, it's just...

Well, you kind of lose yourself
when you're in a relationship.

And you get super clingy.

Like, all of a sudden,
your entire existence

depends on whatever guy you're dating.

And you can be crazy super jealous.

And you put so much pressure on
your relationship to be everything...

Okay, okay.

I get the picture.

Well, you asked for real talk.

Well, I thought Jonah was the problem.

That he wasn't, like, in it.

But, apparently, I'm the problem.

Don't all jump in at once.

We just want you to be happy.

And it seems like...

being with Jonah just kind
of... stresses you out.

I do love him. A lot.

But... I don't wanna be that girl.

If you're in love with the right
person, I don't think you'd be that girl.

- Okay.
- [Frankie chuckles]

[school bell rings]

"Impaired consciousness, mood..."

[sighs]

[Maya] You okay?

I heard about Tristan.

Sorry I couldn't make
it. Just wasn't up to it.

Well, no one's up for this.

[Maya] "Low ability in maintaining

meaningful relationships
without difficulty."

I don't wanna be my boyfriend's
babysitter for the rest of my life.

What am I supposed to do?

You could k*ll yourself.

- [both chuckle]
- Wow, you got dark.

I don't know how to protect him...

and still be happy.

You should do what you can to
find some okayness in your life.

[whirring]

I can't get this useless bot to
pour the cereal into the bowl.

I heard your friend woke up.

[chuckles softly] Yeah,
I still can't believe it.

I never thought I'd
get to see him again.

I'm very happy for you. [chuckles]

Excited for your coffee with Winston?

Yup. I even got my curfew extended.

You did?

Zoë, I'm messing with you.

Zoë, I'm messing with you.

I figured out that "coffee"
means "date" here. [chuckles]

Well, what else would it mean?

Back home it just means
coffee. Uh... [chuckles]

Does that mean that when you
and I were going for coffee,

that those were dates?

Uh, no.

I mean, sometimes it's not not a date,

but then sometimes it
is. It just depends on...

I just like coffee. Okay? [chuckles]

- So, not a date.
- [chuckles lightly]

That's too bad.

Because I like you.

- [both chuckle]
- I like you, too.

- So why did you set me up with Winston?
- I didn't know you were gay.

I am. I just...

I can't be out. Living with
the Nahirs, it's complicated.

No, I get it. My mom is super Catholic.

Rosaries and everything.

But we can at least
give it a sh*t, right?

Let's make it a double sh*t...

- of espresso.
- Oh!

- [chuckles]
- And this time, it's a date.

[robot whirring]

[both chuckle]

[Frankie sighs]

Is this why you texted me?

To sit in silence?

I like you. A lot.

I like you, too, Frankie. I
don't know how many times...

Please, just let me finish.

I like you.

But I'm not sure I
like myself right now.

What are you talking about?

Being in a relationship seems
to do something weird to me.

I don't want to be the girl
who st*lks her boyfriend.

I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about NA.

That's what I mean.

You didn't have to tell me.

And I shouldn't be freaking
out over every little thing.

It's not good for us,
and it's not good for me.

Like... as a human person.

Okay. So what, then?

I think...

we need a break.

Seriously?

Breaks don't work.
We're asking for trouble.

I don't want to break up.

But I need to figure some stuff
out. So if you're not into that...

Okay, okay.

Fine. A break it is.

Okay.

[sniffles]

I'm sorry I was a jerk.
You don't deserve that.

Damn right, I don't. [sniffles]

Guess we shouldn't talk anymore, hmm?

I'm quitting the play.

Tristan's rehab is gonna be intense.

No, I'll... I'll quit the play.

Okay? I'm way easier to replace.

That... that's definitely not true.

You wrote the play to
help you deal with stuff.

You still need it.

Okay. We both stay.

I don't trust anyone else to play Hope.

Are you sure we can still work together?

We'll have to.

Okay.

Then I'll see you at rehearsal.

[sighs]

- [sniffles]
- [Frankie] Won't be needing these,

- or this, or these.
- [Lola] What...

Um, I told Jonah we're going on a break.

What?

Does that mean you can date
other people? Or he can?

Yeah. Will you two text? Or no contact?

Um, we didn't really go over all that.

It doesn't matter.

What matters is taking some time apart,
so I can be the person I want to be.

Ooh.

"Mochaccino."

- Mine, please.
- [Frankie] Okay.

Guess I won't be needing these anymore.

I started taking them when I thought
Jonah and I might be having sex.

Well, it's a good thing you didn't,
'cause you've been taking your pills wrong.

- Mmm, no, I haven't.
- [Lola] Uh-huh.

They go from... light
to dark. Like a sunset.

Don't look at me.

No, it's the other way around.

Which means you've
been taking them wrong.

No biggie. You're not having sex,

and your skin still
looks great. [chuckles]

Oh, my God.

Lo, have you had sex?
