[bunniefuu]

[alarm chiming]

[alarm continues chiming]

[chiming stops]

Well, it's about time, okay?
Thing's been going off for ten minutes.

[grunts]

Come on. He'll be here any second.

You haven't told him
you can't do this stuff on your own?

Once I'm better, I won't need to.

I get it, okay? [sighs]

My girl, she bolted once she saw me use
a bedpan one too many times.

Am I interrupting something?

Just Oli professing his love.

I have a surprise.

Remember how we talked about
going to Europe?

A backpacking trip?

My grandparents got it for me
as a graduation gift.

It's our chance to relive Paris.

- It's everything we dreamed about.
- I know.

I can't wait to start planning.

[grunting]

Whoa, you okay?

[sighs] Um...

Yeah, I'm fine.

[chuckles]

- [both chuckle]
- Ooh!

You totally have that post-sex glow!

How was it? Amazing?
Mind-blowing? Even better?

- [Lola chuckles]
- All of the above?

I don't know. Like, I feel
different now, but kinda the same?

Sex changes everything.

See? He can't even leave you alone now
for a millisecond.

"Day , the night we picnicked
under the stars." [chuckles]

- What are these?
- [chuckles]

[Lola] "The night we shared ice cream"?
They eat a lot of food.

[Lola laughs]

[Lola gasps]

Rasha, you make every
day one to remember.

Will you help make prom day
just as special?

Aw!

Just imagine how amazing
your promposal's gonna be!

Mmm, I don't know.
Is Tiny really the kind of guy

who'd do something big like that?

- How do you think he'll do it?
- Maybe in science class?

- That's where we first talked.
- [Lola] You're so lucky.

I wish I had a senior boyfriend
to ask me to prom.

Maybe he'll get,
like, a little armadillo?

- That was our thing.
- [Lola sighs]

- What? Winston once got you a goat.
- [chuckles]

You used to be so shy.

Now look at you, waiting for your huge
romantic spectacle.

I guess you're right.
Sex really does change everything.

[Lola and Frankie chuckle]

Oh, is that a Parisian suite
for us to eat, pray and mostly love in?

[chuckles] Well, actually,
for the full European experience,

- I was thinking...
- [Maya] Hostels?

You guys are gonna fly halfway
around the planet to have roommates?

Or interesting people from
all around the world. That could be fun.

Don't worry, there will still be
plenty of time for love.

Like at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

You guys, it sounds
like an amazing trip.

I know.

Six months ago,
this wouldn't have been possible.

Now, it is.

I want everything to be perfect.

Here, let me grab the study sheets.

Do you know how many steps it takes
to climb the Eiffel Tower?

It has elevators.

Plus, I'm getting better,
so I'll be able to do it. [chuckles]

Is that what your doctors say?

Your special accommodation room
for tomorrow's test is set up.

Actually, I... I think I'm ready
to take it with the rest of the class.

Oh. Okay, well, let's review, then!

Question one.

[Lola] Oh, they're cute.
What about them?

I don't want to date another couple, Lo.
That was a one-time thing.

Really? Because I heard
once you go "pack,"

- you never go back.
- [locker thuds]

Wow, that's awful.

Mmm. People are still mad about
what he said at that assembly.

- Why? What he said was smart.
- [sighs]

Do you mind if I partner with him
for our electricity project?

[chuckles] And there it is.

- You like him. [chuckles]
- I just feel bad.

And he's such a nice guy.

- He doesn't deserve this at all.
- Classic, Lola.

Back at it again with
those problematic crushes. [chuckles]

What's that supposed to mean?

Your best friend's crush.

A rando who knocked you up.
You just make bad choices.

You dated both Zig and Esme.

I'm not the one who makes bad choices.

Hey.

Uh, do you maybe want to partner up
for our next science project?

[stammers] Uh, yes.

I'd like that. Um...
I'll see you in class?

Be careful.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Why is everyone so worried
about me hanging out with him?

- He doesn't strike you as angry?
- I've seen you get pretty angry.

- Wait. What are you guys saying?
- [Hunter] Nothing.

Nothing. It's just, you know,
nobody knows him.

- And he says all that weird stuff.
- He's just a scared high school kid.

So was one of the Brussels attackers
until the radicals got to him online.

Okay, this is stupid.
You guys think he's a t*rror1st

just because he's not from here?

No, not at all.
Anyone can be radicalized.

Vijay could be an extremist...
even with that silly hat.

[Baaz] You can't judge a book
by its cover...

But you'd get a pretty clear idea
from his browser history.

[Jonah whispering] Okay,
but what if it doesn't work?

- [Tiny] It'll work.
- What's the backup plan?

[sighs]

- I tested it myself.
- What if she says no?

[both chuckle]

- You're here early.
- I, uh... I needed to prep something.

Oh, great!

Um, that you're prepared, I mean.

[Jonah] Hey.
[Grace] Hey.

Come on, come on, come on.

[students gasp]

- [girl chuckles] Yes, Jonah!
- [boy ] Oh!

[laughs] So, what do you say?

[chuckling] I already bought
our tickets, dummy.

- [boy ] Whoo! Yeah, Jonah!
- [students applauding]

[chuckling]

Um, Shay... you okay?

Oh, yeah,
I'm just really excited for them.

[chuckles]

[breathing heavily]

[speaking French]

What does that mean?

[in English] "I am sorry."

Just because my girlfriend left,
doesn't mean Miles will.

J'accepte.

Good, because I'm starving.
Let's hit the caf. It's pierogi night.

Yeah, actually, I'm just
gonna finish this, and then, uh,

I'm probably gonna eat in my room
while I study.

Have a geo test.

[treadmill beeping]

You've been at it for minutes.
Maybe you should slow down.

I'm fine. Really.

Four weeks until Europe.
I need to be ready.

Good enough for a five?

Is your coordination even there yet?

Of course it is.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just missed a step.

[grunts]

- Take it easy.
- [breathing heavily]

Last time I went this hard,
I was stuck in bed for a week.

I'm fine. Seriously.

[treadmill beeps]

So, that promposal you planned
for Jonah and Grace was pretty cool.

Sure, if you're into that.

- You're not?
- It's kind of ridiculous.

I mean, it's just prom,
not a wedding proposal.

Well, it's special for some people.

The ones who've got something to prove,
[scoffs] but we don't need that.

You don't think prom's a chance
to celebrate with friends?

We can do that whenever,
without wasting hundreds of dollars.

I guess you're right.

I'm so happy that you're not one of
those girls who freaks out about prom.

Yeah, we can do our
own thing that night.

Yeah, sure. You can... We can watch
a movie at my place, or whatever.

Yeah, sure. Whatever works for you.

[boy giggling]

[sighs] I don't
even know where to start.

- [boy yells]
- [both chuckle]

[Lola laughs]

- What are you doing?
- Mustache! [laughs]

Okay, let's get serious.

Okay, uh, "Strip the wire
and connect it to the..."

Oh. How do you know how to do that?

Oh, I learned in Syria...
from my cousin.

Oh, for fun?
You didn't have, like, video games?

- [boy shrieks]
- [clattering]

Um, they play so rough. Excuse me.

[Saad speaking Arabic]

[Saad in English]
Calm down, calm down. Come on.

Come on, join your sister.

Now, don't make too much noise.

[gasps] What are you doing?

Um, I was just about
to order some pizza.

You were searching my computer.

I didn't find anything, I swear.

- What were you hoping to find?
- [sighs]

My... my friends made me believe
you were talking to someone bad.

- And you believed them?
- No, I just...

- You should go.
- [breathing shakily]

[door opens and closes]

[alarm chiming]

[exhales sharply]

[alarm continues chiming]

[straining]

- [chiming stops]
- [sighs]

[gasps]

[groaning softly]

[Miles] Tristan?

- Still in bed? Our test is today.
- I, um... I just need to...

Just wait in the hall.
I'll be right there.

No, let me help.
Where are your pants?

- Please, I'll just be one second.
- No. This is good practice for Europe.

- Miles, just wait.
- Here.

- Miles.
- [both breathing heavily]

[Tristan urinating]

Uh, Tris, I...

I... Here, let me help.

Just stop.
Just... I told you to wait in the hall.

[sighs]

[Oliver] Uh, I'll get you
another pair of boxers.

[sighs]

[Lola] What do these say to you?

European night club?
I don't know. [chuckles]

Not "I'm so sorry
I accused you of being a t*rror1st"?

Don't tell me you listened to
those conspiracy theory morons.

I saw you searched for these.
Please take 'em.

I'm so sorry.

- I know how hard it is to be different.
- You do?

My family's from Argentina.

I didn't learn English
until I was in kindergarten.

Did they think you were
going to hurt them?

No, but they thought I was, like,
some sort of explorer.

Like Dora?

Okay, anyway, um, not the same,
but what I did was unforgivable

and if you never want to
speak to me again, I get it.

[sighs] Wait.

[sighs]

I... I need your help.

Anything.

I was talking to someone online.

I... I thought he was a friend, but...

- He wasn't a...
- A radical? I think so.

[stammers] Did he try to get you
to do something bad?

He wanted me to come back to Syria,
offered to book me a flight...

How could I be so stupid?

- We have to tell someone.
- We can't!

- What if he comes after me?
- The police will stop him.

The police?
What if they think I was involved?

- But you weren't, right?
- No!

But I... I've been talking to him
for weeks.

- There... there are conversations.
- Okay, uh, meet me after school.

We'll scrub all your
socials and devices.

You know how to do that?

I think I know someone who does.

[Tristan breathing heavily]

Hey.

- What cat dragged you in?
- Rough morning.

But I'm here and I'm ready
to focus on the test.

- Good luck.
- [Mr. Perino] Flip your papers.

So? Did he do it yet?
Do you have pictures?

Oh, please tell me
you get to keep the armadillo.

I don't think we're going to prom.

- It's just really expensive.
- But you were so excited.

Well, I have to be fiscally responsible.

[sighs] Look at you being all mature.

- Sex really does change everything.
- It's not like that. We're good.

[clears throat] No, you're not.

- Excuse me?
- [sighs] It's simple economics.

Tiny got the milk for free,
ergo he doesn't need to buy the cow.

What are you even saying?

- They had sex, right?
- Oh, my God.

So why would Tiny do a big promposal
if he already got what he wants?

It's not like that.
Seriously, we're just gonna...

have a nice night
in, just the two of us.

Like, watching a movie?

Yeah, but why are
you saying it like that?

"Watching a movie" is just code.

He found a cheaper route
to doing it than prom.

Simple economics.

- [exhales]
- [Mr. Perino] Time's up.

How'd it go?

[sighs] There's always next time.

If I can't even pass a test,
how am I gonna go to Europe with Miles?

[sighs] I don't know.

Maybe you can postpone your trip
until you're ready.

It's important to take care of yourself,
take the time you need...

Wait, he peed on you?

Was this before or
after you told him you

got into the London Writer's Academy?

I didn't tell him.

I'm actually going to try to defer
a year. He obviously needs me right now.

See? Miles is willing
to wait for you, too.

So I will delete your socials
and wipe your hard drives, and poof!

It'll be like you never existed.

- Will this really work?
- Well, no one can see what isn't there.

Okay, here's Saad's phone. Here's
all of his usernames and passwords.

I'll go distract my brother.

[sighs]

Ah! [growling]

- I'm coming to get you!
- [boy laughing]

Okay, this is crazy.
Can't he just call the authorities?

He can't, I told you.
We have to help him, don't we?

I thought so, but look at this.

"The kids at my school are stupid.

No one would miss them
if someone just wiped them out."

We all say things we don't mean.

You've never felt alone? Isolated?
No one understands you?

[Saad] Help!
These tickle monsters have me pinned.

Fine, I... I'll do it. Just go,
before the tickle monsters devour him.

[Lola sighs] Here comes super-Lola!

[all laughing]

[camera shutter clicks]

[pop song playing over speakers]

Little bit. Yeah.

Just because we slept together,
doesn't mean you can stop trying.

What are you talking about?

You do this whole special thing
for Grace and Jonah,

but now that we've done it,
you can't go out of your way for me?

- Okay, listen...
- No! I'm not, like, some cow, okay?

And my milk is definitely not free!

[music playing louder]

Hey, I'm trying to have
a conversation here!

Give me a second.
I gotta do a thing.

Shay, will you go to prom with me?

- Yeah! [chuckles]
- [students cheering]

[Lola] And then we add salt to the water
to complete the connection.

And once we complete the circuit...

[girl] Whoa.

[students applauding]

- Yes!
- [bell ringing]

- [Saad] Uh...
- Okay. [laughs]

[Saad chuckles awkwardly]

Maybe I had him all wrong.
Did I just see sparks?

Well, that was the point. Oh,
you mean... Okay, maybe. [laughs]

So... how are you doing?

I feel less worried. Um, it's weird
not having social media, though.

That's okay. I'll be your friend.

- [chuckles] How can I ever repay you?
- Yael and I are volunteering at prom.

Come keep me company,
I'll consider us even.

A magical night with a wonderful girl?

- You drive a hard bargain.
- [both chuckle]

[exhales] Put that there.

[woman speaking French on laptop]

Can we talk about this morning?

You can't give up
the London Writer's Academy for me.

Well, it can wait.
Right now, I want to be here for you.

You're putting off all your dreams.

And... I think that we need to break up.

- No.
- All I've ever done is push myself...

for you...

and it's been k*lling me.

So this is my fault?

I stood by your side
while you were in a coma.

I was here during
all of your rehab sessions.

- I gave up everything.
- I didn't ask you to do that.

After everything
that we've been through,

- are you seriously suggesting that...
- No, I just...

I don't know.

I just can't do this anymore.

So I don't even get a say
when it comes to my own relationship?

Not when it gets
in the way of my health.

If I'm ever gonna get better,
I have to do it on my own.

[melancholy song playing]
