Did you have a good weekend?

Spending time with my daughters
always makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[Katie] Nerd!

I'm kidding! I had fun, too.

- Have a good day, kiddo.
- I will.

I love you guys.

Oh, the nerd apple doesn't
fall far from the nerd tree.

[chuckles] What? I do.

Bring it in.

[Jonah] Okay, and cue smoke.

[chuckles]

[Grace] Wow! Looks
better than I thought.

[Jonah] Yeah, I mean, I think
people are really gonna dig this.

[Grace] Yeah.

What? Allergic to
compliments there, big guy?

I just got a text. It's from Tristan.

- Is he okay?
- He's coming to the play.

- [chuckles]
- Isn't that great news?

I'm just worried that if he
sees it, he's gonna figure out...

You and Lola are hooking up?

[Jonah chuckles]

I knew it! You owe me a and
you're a dirtbag for cheating.

No, look, it was just one time.

And it was when Tristan
was still in a coma.

I didn't think that we
were getting him back.

It didn't mean anything.

Be honest. If he sees this thing,
is he gonna guess what happened?

Hey, man, we directed the thing,
and we still weren't sure, so...

Well, I can't have him finding
out in a room full of people.

Aren't you excited to
see Rasha perform tonight?

I didn't get to see her this morning,
'cause she left early for the tech run.

[chewing] Do you think she's nervous?

Is that the program for the play?

Shouldn't that be all
done and printed by now?

I was... busy this weekend.

[chewing] Everything okay?

I'll be fine.

- Okay, well, at least let me help.
- [typing]

There's a typo.

Do you think Rasha's picture
should be bigger than Lola's?

Okay, why don't you do this yourself?

Okay, I don't know
anything about the play!

[sighs]

Oh, thank goodness you're here.

So, the play is a love triangle

between Hero and his boyfriend,
Coma Boy, who's in a coma,

and Hope, some girl he meets online?

What is love, anyway?

Okay, I don't know what's up with
you, or why Zoë's so freaked out,

but I need to get this done.

You know why Zoë's so upset?

Because we broke up.

You... were dating?

- Why didn't you tell me?
- I don't know.

Maybe all the casual h*m*?

- I'm... I'm not, uh...
- Okay, then riddle me this.

Am I sinning if I have sex with Zoë?

According to the Qur'an, yes,
but I still love you guys.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

See? You get it.

I thought it would be different here.

I'd get to be in a play
and have a girlfriend

who would show up backstage
with a bouquet of roses,

and it would all be perfect, but...

It's not my fault you guys
broke up. I didn't even know!

No, Zoë invited me to her mom's
wedding to make her mom mad.

And her mom was mad.

She kicked her out.

Of the wedding?

Of her house.

Her own daughter? Just for being gay?

Yeah.

So who's the real sinner?

[Miles on PA] Today's
the day, Degrassians.

Pick up your tickets for
I.M. Hope in the foyer.

Hope to see you there!

Hey, have you seen Grace?

Uh, no, not... not today.

[sighs] Look, Esme's
gonna be here any second,

and I can't be caught talking to you.

Not after last time.

Right. Sorry about that.

- [Zig] Uh...
- Oh!

Thanks.

Hey.

Shaving our heads, eating shards
of glass and bathing in fire ants.

Uh, what?

Three things I'd rather
do than watch Miles' play.

Esme, look, I told you,
we have to support Grace.

- I'm sure it'll be fine.
- Have you met Miles?

- It's gonna be a waking nightmare.
- [sighs]

Aw, you shouldn't have.

I didn't. It's for Grace.
Can you give it to her?

Uh, no. You can give it to her
yourself at the play tonight.

She doesn't want me there.

Mmm, well, yeah. I mean, she
might seem a little mad right now,

but, deep down, I know she loves you.

What are you? The Grace whisperer?

Ah, hardly. But... here.

- It's one of my comp tickets.
- [sighs]

You can't turn down a
free ticket, can you?

[sighs]

[sighs]

Programs are ready with
minutes to spare before showtime.

Did your mom really kick
you out for being gay?

Rasha told me.

I really thought my mom
would be able to accept it...

but nope.

So, I guess I live with Grace now.

- That seems a little harsh.
- Strongly agree.

- There's nothing you can do to fix it?
- You got a cure for lesbian?

Worst part is, I was so
focused on chasing this idea

that my mom might actually accept me,

that I screwed things
up with Rasha forever.

Maybe not forever.

- Oh, I'm, uh, sorry! Um...
- Uh...

[chuckles] Hey, actually, can
you come in here for a second?

But you're, um...

It's not like we haven't seen
each other like this before. Right?

Preach. Okay.

[stutters] Um, so Tristan
is coming to the play,

and he... he can't find out about us.

I know. I told you,
I won't say anything.

I know, I know, but I just
need to change a few lines.

It's not that many. Here.

Look, I'm sorry about
how this all went down.

The... the timing, the...

I'm sorry I wasn't there
for the... You know...

It's okay. I'm okay.

No, still, I should have been there.

[sighs]

Can I ask you something?

Did I mean anything
to you? Like, at all?

Yeah, you were my hope.

[indistinct chatter]

[scoffs]

[Esme] Yeah, that looks totally fine.

I'm pretty sure our
seats are over there.

Yeah, but if it gets too
creepy, I want a quick exit.

[sighs]

[Zig] Okay.

[girl] Is that... Is that Tristan?

Best seat in the house,
for the guest of honor.

Isn't it so inspiring?

[sighs] It's like we can finally
put the bus crash behind us.

Ticket?

Uh, seat , in the aisle.

Um, I... I can tell them to move.

No. No. I don't wanna be a bother.

Um, I actually have a thing, anyways.

Could you give this to Grace for me?

Thank you.

[music playing through headphones]

[crashing over speakers]

[sirens wailing]

[monitor beeping]

Where are you? Answer me.

I'm worried.

I love you.

Please.

Oh, this is weird. I'm not
used to you being so quiet.

Aah!

[audience chuckling]

You're really in a coma, huh?

Well... [inhales deeply]

that's okay.

Because I'm not leaving
until you're better.

[audience chuckling]

What am I supposed to
do until you wake up?

[grunts]

[cell phone chimes]

Can't do anything right.

[gasps]

[grunting]

Oh, no.

[Saad] Maya?

Saad, hey. Can you help me?

Oh, you're the best.

Thank you for being my friend.

I... uh... You said we
weren't friends anymore.

No. Forget about that.

It wasn't me talking.

I always liked you.

[chuckles]

There's gotta be
something worth living for?

I'd only miss doing
things with Coma Boy.

- Like what?
- We used to play this one game...

[Coma Boy] You'll never
catch me. I'm faster than you.

- But I'm smarter.
- [audience and Hope chuckling]

[chuckles]

[camera clicks]

[Hero] I can't keep doing it.
It's been months of this.

And he's almost better.

- I want to see you, Hope.
- You can't.

He's only made it this far
because you've been by his side.

But I've only made it this
far because you were by mine.

Okay, this is brutal. I can't...

Wait. Where are you going?
It's just getting good.

Come on. I'll make it worth your while.

[Hero] Please.

I'm coming.

[Hope] You shouldn't be here.

[Hero] I need to touch you.

[Hope] No. You never needed
me. You needed someone.

And now, he needs you.

[Hero] Hope?

[sighs] Hero? Are you there?

Yes. Yes. [panting]

And I'm never leaving.

[audience applauding and cheering]

[audience member whistling]

[chuckles]

Okay. Thank you guys so much for coming.

If you... If you enjoyed that,

then I owe it all to my
amazing cast and crew,

and our codirectors.

So let's raise a nonalcoholic
bubbly to them. Shall we?

[cheering]

Okay, enjoy the party, guys.

Can I get your autograph?

I'm so sorry I used
you at my mom's wedding.

Can you ever forgive me?

[chuckles] Of course.

Oh. [sniffs]

Ah, they're everything
I dreamed of. [chuckles]

Thank Goldi. She helped pick them out.

You really helped with this?

I realized that Hero and Coma Boy's
love is no different than anyone else's.

Neither is yours. You
should be together.

Even if we're sinning?

I decided that's not up to me.

I just want you to be happy.

Enjoy your party, superstar.

[music playing in distance]

There you are.

Must have been too loud
for you in Student Council?

[sighs] So... what'd you think?

Be brutal.

[computerized voice] I
thought it was beautiful.

It all felt very real.

I hooked up with Lola,
Tristan. I'm so sorry.

[stutters] The doctors thought
that you weren't going to make it...

I know.

You do?

Between that video she
posted and the play,

it's kind of obvious.

Do you hate me?

Do you love her?

It's over. I ended it
as soon as you woke up.

But did you love her?

I guess, yeah.

I couldn't have made it
through everything without her.

Who do you want to be with?

You.

You saw the play, Tris. I
know that it sounds messed up,

but everything...
everything was about you.

Even Lola.

[softly] Okay.

Okay?

[softly] Okay.

[chuckles]

- [upbeat music playing]
- I can't believe we pulled it off.

Yeah, yeah, we, uh, we make a good team.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Uh, I guess now that
the... the play's over,

we don't really have an
excuse to hang out anymore.

Maybe we can find one? [chuckles]

[Yael] Sorry to interrupt.

Um, I'm not really a theater
person, but I really loved that.

Oh, it's not from me.
It's uh, it's from Maya.

She didn't stay and watch?

[Grace] Why would she give me this?

Let's see it.

I should text her.

Except I forgot that I blocked
her and then she blocked me.

She deleted all of her accounts.

What? Everything?

Except this one picture.

[Esme] Finally, some privacy.

- I didn't know you could get up here.
- [chuckles]

Isn't it better than Miles' stupid play?

We crossed off parking
lot on our bingo card,

so I figured I had to look
for some new spots. [chuckles]

Oh, that's why you
wanted to ditch the play.

- [chuckles]
- Why didn't you just say so?

- Whoa!
- What?

[Esme] No, look.

[Zig] Oh, my God!

Maya?

- Oh, my God!
- [Esme sobbing]

Uh, uh, what do we do?

- She's OD'ing! [cries]
- Well, should we try to make her throw up?

No! No. You never do that.
I learned that with my mom.

We have to put her in... in
prone position and call !

[panting]

[sobbing]

[Zig stammers] Uh, hello.
We have an OD'ing female.

[stammers] We're at
Degrassi Community School.

We're at the roof. Please hurry.

- [Zig panting]
- [Esme continues sobbing]

[sirens wailing in distance]

[man speaking indistinctly over PA]

We should have seen this coming.

She deleted all of her social
media. She made that song.

[sniffs] Not to mention
those death photos.

I told her to leave me alone today.

[cries] I knew she was sad,

I just didn't think
she'd be capable of this.

Stop. It's nobody's fault.

No one can know what's going
on inside someone's head

and she didn't want to be here
anymore and now she's getting her wish.

- [sobbing]
- Okay, come on.

Easy...

[crying]

[voice breaking] She's gonna make it.

I mean, she's been
through something, and...

[Grace sobs]

It's been really hard
and it's gonna be a fight,

but, um, I hope that you guys
stick by her through this.

[Grace] We will.

[sniffs] Tell Maya I said thanks,
but she'll still be needing this.

[sighs]

Grace.

[both sigh]

- I'll be home later.
- Okay.

I can't help but think if things had
gone slightly differently this semester...

that might have been me in there.

People are important.

[computerized voice]
Can we get pizza?

- [both chuckle]
- It's literally been

six months since I've had pizza.

Sounds good to me. I'm starving, so...

- [chuckling]
- How did you survive without pizza?

[chuckles]
