04x07 - #Fire

[bunniefuu]

- [Esme] You were freaking out!
- No, I wasn't!

- [Zig] Yes, you were.
- I was fine.

No, you were freakin' out!

[Esme] You were totally scared!

[Frankie] They're called
horror movies for a reason.

I was horrified.

Sorry to interrupt, but there's a
minivan outside calling our name.

Your turn to take the kids to soccer?

[Tiny] Tonight's gonna be amazing.

I thought we could go get
the food before lunch ends.

- What's tonight?
- Yeah, what's tonight, Zig?

Oh, so you didn't tell your
girlfriends about our camping trip?

No, he didn't.

Uh, yeah, no... [stuttering]
We're going camping this weekend.

Like, an unofficial grad
trip. It's a friends thing.

- Who's we?
- Maya...

- Of course.
- [Tiny] Uh, Grace and Jonah.

They're a couple.

- But we were all friends first.
- You're saying we're not friends?

I just didn't think
camping was your thing.

Fine. If you don't want me to come...

Of course I do.

And wouldn't it be so much
better if we were there?

[mouthing] No.

- You guys make everything more fun, but...
- [Esme] Then it's settled!

I hope there's room in the
minivan for two more. [chuckles]

- [bell ringing]
- I thought this was a friends thing.

It was until Esme, you know, was Esme.

But it'll be nice to do something
together before school ends.

Yeah, now that track's over, I
can actually have some free time.

Well, when I'm not studying for exams,

or staring at my phone
waiting to hear from scouts.

Aw, they'll call.

So? Is that a yes?

Well, I'll have to ask my parents first.

Can't wait.

What can't he wait for?

Uh, he invited me to go on his
grad camping trip this weekend.

And if you said yes, I
had no idea you were ready.

I feel like I'm missing something?

You, Tiny, alone, in a tent...

Why are we alone? I thought
everyone would be sharing tents.

Oh, Shay. Sweet, young Shay.

- We're the same age.
- This isn't family camping.

This is grown-up camping
with grown-up activities.

- What! Sex? No.
- [chuckles]

- Don't you want to?
- Yes?

Maybe? I don't know.

Well, school's almost
over and he's graduating...

Yes, okay, thank you, I get it!

Whatever. It's not like my parents
are gonna let me go, anyway.

Well, if you tell them that all
you'll be doing is playing tennis...

maybe this will be love ♪

- [both] Maya!
- [gasps] Whoa!

Whoa! What's wrong?

I'm just really stressed
about getting these songs done.

The ones to play for Craig Manning?

Yeah, they have to be awesome if
I'm gonna make that spot on his tour,

and so far, they're all just... blah.

Okay, well, maybe this'll
help you find your way.

I can't come. I have to write.

But this is our last
chance for fun before exams.

Yeah, which I also have to ace.

SoCalArt won't like
it if I t*nk my finals.

But didn't your therapist say
that downtime is important?

[sighs] Therapy card. Nice.

- Also, we need a buffer.
- Yeah.

Esme's coming?

I don't know...

[sighs] This is exhausting.

- Just agree already!
- [Maya sighs]

Yeah, you'll come back full of ideas.

[sighs] Fine.

But you guys have to help me
with this prechorus on the way up.

- Okay.
- [chuckles]

So I splurged and got us a treat.

[giggles]

- Come on, try it on.
- Yeah.

- I don't think I'm gonna go.
- Why not?

Because we weren't really invited?

Right. 'Cause Zig's friends hate me.

- That's not true.
- Why else would they exclude me?

They want us to break up.

They'd love for him to get
back together with Maya.

You're being paranoid.

They've all been friends forever.

There's so much history.

- It'd be better if you were there.
- I'm gonna sit this one out.

Fine.

[cell phone vibrates]

Okay, I need to go.

Please don't be mad at me.

You're throwing me to the wolves!

- [sighs]
- What?

Have you ever tried
just being their friend?

I mean, I'm just sayin',

you're kinda selective
about who you let in.

You're awesome.

Just let them see that.

Make your own history.

Where are you going?

Home to pack.

Hey, Mom. How was your day?

- Yeah, mine was good.
- Did she even ask about camping yet?

I'm on my way home now.
Need anything for dessert?

I think she's chickening out.

Wait, what do you mean,
getting ready for camping?

How did you know?

You talked to Tiny?

Yeah, no, I know he's a very
responsible young man, but...

Okay, wait.

So I can go?

[chuckles]

But Tiny and I, we'll probably
be sleeping in the same tent...

[Lola sighs]

- Alone. Just the two of us.
- [chuckles]

So just to be clear,

you're letting me go camping,
overnight, with my boyfriend.

Okay then. Love you, too.

- [chuckling]
- You're going camping!

- We're going camping!
- [Lola] Oh, even better!

No, no, no, no! I just
told Esme I can't go.

Oh, trouble in poly
paradise? There's a surprise.

You have to come. You're the
only one of us who can drive.

- Didn't Tiny rent a van?
- There's not enough room for all of us.

And besides, I need you guys there.

Hey, do you really want to take advice
from a girl in a weird three-way?

Uh, says the girl who won't even
tell us who she lost her virginity to.

Fine. It was Miles. Happy?

- [chuckles] Oh, my God, can you imagine?
- [Shay laughs]

Barf!

Okay, so besides putting you guys
between us in the tent, what do I do?

Well, you can always talk to Tiny,
and if you're ready, you'll know.

Fine.

But I still need a drive.

Ugh, fine.

- You owe me so hard!
- Road trip! [chuckles]

[laughing]

[inaudible]

Okay, I still can't believe
you thought that g*n was real.

You guys were so scary.

And I hadn't seen you in, like,
a year. I thought you had changed.

- And had I?
- [Maya] No.

You'd just gone and cut the
sleeves off all of your shirts.

[Zig and Jonah chuckle]

Ah! [chuckling]

Next time you guys are pulling
a prank, you should let me know.

I've got an excellent poker face.

[chuckling awkwardly]

Fire's ready!

That looks great, babe.

Thanks. I watched, like,
a million videos online.

Looks like the log cabin
technique was the way to go.

[clicks tongue] Mmm.

- All right. So, uh, what's for dessert?
- Oh, that was on me! Hold on!

Brownies with a little something extra.

So, uh, so you mean
they're weed brownies, or...

Thought we could make some history.

Thanks, but I'll pass.

Mmm, yeah, me, too.

[clears throat]

Come on, I know you like to party!

Nah. Shay'll be here soon.

I don't wanna be all
messed up for my girl.

Looks like it's just you and me.

I'm just gonna get sleepy.

- [chuckles]
- [Tiny sighs] Dessert-less?

- This is a tragedy.
- No, don't despair.

I never go into the woods without
the ability to make s'mores.

- [Tiny] All right!
- Hero!

[Maya] I didn't bring sticks.

I'm on it.

[Grace chuckles]

Where are you going?

I think I'm getting a headache.
I'm just gonna go lie down.

[Zig] Okay.

- All right.
- [Zig] All right, cool.

[Jonah] Who's first? Who's
first? You guys get sticks? Here.

[Grace chuckling]

- Whoa! Go easy on yourself.
- [Maya] This is so stressful.

- What if I never write a good song again?
- [horn honking]

Hey, they're here!

Woo-hoo!

I'm so glad you're here. You
can put your stuff in my tent.

[sighs] Oh, good! I'm starving.

- Those are weed brownies.
- What?

Yeah.

Hey, do you wanna put your stuff
in my uh, or, I guess, our tent?

Um, yeah. Yeah, sure.

[softly] Yeah, that's not weird.

Dramz!

Maybe we should eat those
brownies so everyone can calm down.

- Helpful.
- [scoffs]

- Where is Esme, anyway?
- In the tent.

You've finally come to your senses.

[grunts]

Oh. It's just you.

- I thought you'd be happy to see me.
- [sighs]

What's wrong?

I tried with his friends,
and they still rejected me.

It doesn't matter.
They'll always hate me.

I'm sure it wasn't that bad.

I just... I need Zig to understand
what he'd lose if we broke up.

Which is why it's
great that you're here!

Do you have your bikini? Put it on!

We can go swimming.

Not that we'd have them on for long.

Who can say no to skinny
dipping with two girls?

Maybe we can just go hang
out with everyone else.

They don't want me. But
you do, and Zig will.

We just need to find the
perfect spot. Come on!

Uh, maybe...

you want to put on a top?

[chuckles nervously]

[Maya] I give up.

I haven't written anything
good since "Last Exit."

What if I've lost it?

Well, you're not gonna be able to write
anything when you're this stressed.

Yeah, you just gotta try and relax.
It'll be better for you and the music.

- Do you think those would help with that?
- Step away from the edibles.

You're the one that told
me you wanted me to relax.

Maybe try meditation before
mind-altering substances.

- Shall we?
- Uh, yeah, we need to get more wood.

[Lola] Let's try to
do some chubby bunnies.

- [Zig blowing raspberry]
- [Lola chuckling]

[Frankie] We've been
walking forever.

Shouldn't we head back?
It's getting kinda dark.

- We haven't found a place to swim.
- So? Everything's fine!

No, it's not! How do you not see that?

Okay, stop for a second! Are you okay?

You're just acting really weird.

It's weird that I don't want
my boyfriend to abandon me?

- That's not gonna happen!
- You don't know that!

Which is why you're in that bikini.

- He can't say no to a threesome.
- Okay, hold on. I'm not doing that.

Then what's the point
of you even being here?

So that's all I am, then?

I'm just some pet to keep
Zig's attention on you?

I made you!

What?

You were just some pathetic
girl moping over a dumb boyfriend

and I made you awesome!

Now you won't even do
one little thing for me?

I wouldn't call that little.

You're just like everyone else. I
give you everything and you turn on me.

Find your own way back.

[all laughing]

I should, uh, probably check on Esme.

Yeah.

[Tiny] Oh, man, bet we won't
be seeing him again tonight.

[Jonah chuckling]

Guys!

I wrote the best song ever,
and in record time, too.

That's what I should
call it, "Record Time."

Because it's also, like,
record time, you get it?

No. Not at all.

Listen.

Wait.

♪ The universe expands

[both chuckle]

What are you laughing at?

- Nothing. Keep going.
- Yes. Please, keep going.

Why did you just look at her?

Oh, it's really hot.

Is anyone else really hot?

I need to sit down.

Am I twirling?

Whoa! Am I twirling?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- I think I just ate too many brownies.
- Brownies, plural?

Okay, dude, you should
probably go lie down.

Yeah, okay. I'm going.

[guitar clangs]

Okay, she'll probably just sleep it off.

[scoffs] Oh, I'm going to bed.
These mosquitoes are the worst.

[Grace] Yeah, us, too.

- What? The mosquitoes are bad.
- Okay. I'm not saying anything.

Did you bring a tent? You
could sleep with me and Tiny.

Uh, I'm going in the car.

Think a piece of nylon is gonna save
me from a bear eating my face off?

Oh, there are no bears. But
coyotes, on the other hand...

- Okay, good night!
- [Tiny chuckles]

The coyote population isn't that big,
if that makes you feel any better.

You wanna go to bed, too?

Ah, but it's so nice out!

- Hey! [chuckles]
- Nice. Come on.

Tent's bug-free.

Okay, um...

good night!

[chuckles] Don't you
think we should talk first?

[Shay] About what?

What you're not telling me?

My friends think this
is grown-up camping.

[chuckles]

Grown-up activities?

[sighs]

The thought did cross my mind,
but, obviously, only if you want to.

I just don't know how
to tell if I'm ready.

You can always talk to me, you know.

Ah! Can you cut off my arm, please?

[chuckles] Let me see.

Ah.

Always come prepared.

My friends think I need
to give myself a chance

to know if I'm ready...
to know if I'm ready.

I'm a little confused. [chuckles]

I guess I was just scared of how I'd
feel when I was actually here with you.

So? How do you feel?

Ready.

[sighs] Esme?

[Maya sniffling]

- You okay?
- [groans]

I don't want to be high anymore.

- You ate Esme's brownies.
- Mmm-hmm.

Wow, I can't believe her sometimes.

I just thought if I ate this bread,
[sniffles] that it would go away.

But it won't go away.

Okay, come on. Maybe
you should go to bed.

No, I went to bed! I
tried that. It didn't work.

And I still have to write a song!
Oh, my God, I have to write a song.

How am I going to do that, Zig?

I just keep screwing
up. Forever. Always.

- [sniffles and grunts]
- Okay, all right.

I'll help ya, okay?

How?

We'll... we'll write a song together.

Okay, let's just...

Let's just get you to
your tent first, okay?

- We're gonna write a song about water?
- If you want, yeah.

- Come on.
- [sniffles]

[Maya] ♪ A bright blue

will start to go my way ♪

[chuckles] It's not that good.

What?

- What?
- [sighs]

[exhales] Maya...

you scared me.

No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!

Why would you do that to yourself?

Because I feel this wall of pressure
coming at me like a tidal wave.

So what's more important?
Your health, or...

My dream?

When we found you on the roof, it
felt like the world was gonna end.

I almost lost you.

I don't know what I'd do
if it happened for real.

[crying]

I can't breathe! Help!
Help! I can't breathe!

[gasps] Help! Help! I can't breathe!

- [gasps]
- Esme?

[gasping]

- [grunting and gasping]
- [Grace] What's going on?

Uh, she's allergic to bees.
She must have gotten stung.

Oh, my God.

[gasping]

- [Tiny] Dude! What the hell?
- We need help! Esme got stung.

Come on!

Just put calamine lotion on it.

No! She's allergic and you know science!

- Come on!
- But bees don't come out at night.

Her EpiPen's in here.

If it's really anaphylaxis, she
should lie still on her back.

[stutters] Wait, what do I do?

Just give it to me.

[grunting and gasping]

Uh, I think I'm gonna be okay.

No, we still have to
take you to the hospital.

What? Why?

The adrenaline sh*t's just to buy us
time. The symptoms could come back.

That's really not necessary.

Give it to me. I don't want
anyone to prick themselves.

[Shay scoffs] She didn't
even inject herself.

You're supposed to take off
the blue cap. It's still loaded.

You faked all this?

[sniffles and sighs]

[grunts] I thought I was gonna die.

Why would you leave me in the woods?

[panting]

[grunts] Wait. What's going on?

I'm going for a walk.

Please, I can explain!

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[chuckles] Hey, good morning.

Sorry we got interrupted last night.

Mmm. Nothing like a fake medical
emergency to spoil the mood.

[chuckles]

Guess we should help with breakfast.

We could do that.

Or...

Seriously? But Frankie's
a terrible cook.

She'll burn the bacon.

Where have you been all night?

[sighs] Walking. Thinking.

About last night, I can explain.

- Stop.
- I really was having trouble breathing.

Stop lying to me!

You were alone with Maya!

Because she was in
trouble. I was helping her.

She put herself in trouble
so you would leave me!

That is some messed-up thinking, Esme.

You know, I've spent my entire
year wrapped up in your insanity.

[cries] Please, don't
do this. Let's just...

Let's just forget about everything
and get back to what we're good at.

I'm trying to have an
actual conversation with you.

Not everything is about sex, Esme!

[sighs]

I'm sorry, but I'm done.

- Please, we can figure this out.
- No, we can't.

I think you should see if you
can ride home with Frankie.

[crying]

Okay, next time, no sparklers.

You guys almost burnt
my beautiful hair off.

There were sparklers?

You were passed out by
then. How are you feeling?

Totally fried.

Okay, well, for the record, I did say
those brownies were a bad idea, so...

It wasn't all bad. I think
I figured some stuff out.

Do you know what your hit
song's going to be about?

No, but I realized I
gotta go easier on myself.

Make my health a priority.

The songs will come when they come.

- What about your audition?
- If it's meant to be, it'll happen.

Well, at least the brownies
helped you realize all that.

It wasn't the brownies.

- Oh!
- Whoa, dude! Careful!

[Tiny] Sorry.

Hey, you want to take
this before Tiny breaks it?

Yeah.

Glad you're feeling better.

[pop song playing]
