College. Who [bleep] needs it?

I'm quitting Cal U.

Not me, considering that I'm now styling

not one, but two celebrity clients.

Your boy Joey Bada$$
hooked your girl Zoey Bada$$ up

with her first music video sh**t
here in Miami.

And tomorrow, I am finally
headed back home to Cali,

where I get four days off
to reconnect with my girls

and possibly see... [Exhales sharply]

[Coughing] ...Aaron.

[Clears throat]

Okay, you know what? Fine.
I did cough "Aaron."

Confession... I haven't
been able to stop coughing

or thinking about him
since our last kiss.

MAN: Wardrobe! Anyone from wardrobe?

Wardrobe. That's me.

[Ding, ding!]

Is everything okay?

No. It's hot as fish grease out here,

and nothing about this fabric
is breathable.

Well, I actually have your
second-choice options on standby.

Um, you know what? I'm sure
we can figure something out

if you give me like 15 minutes.

- 12?
- 10.

Why'd I do that?

I'm not really feeling
this outfit anymore.

I just realized
that all the other dancers

have the same look.

I need to stand out.

You know, unfortunately,
I really don't have

anything else other than swimsuits.

Yes, you do.

- DIRECTOR: And cut!
- [Bell rings]

[Gasps] Oh.

I really need a few days off.

- Yo, Zo.
- Mm?

- You daydreaming over here?
- No!

Look, I know you've been dying
to get back home,

but I got to ask...

for you to stay one more day.

Wait, what?

But what about my girls
and Aaron's lips?

So, the director wants to sh**t

one more sh*t in Little Havana,

but after that, I promise

you can get on the first flight
back to L.A.

I even bumped you up to first class.

But the connecting to Orlando.

The short leg.

ZOEY: So, while I had been
away on the road

for the past month working,
back at Cal U,

Jazz and Doug's relationship break

was still a work in progress.

Ohh!

Now I see why someone
had to come to Titanium

for their delicious jalapeño poppers.

Because it's close to our house,
and I'm hungry.

Or maybe because it's close
to Doug and you're thirsty.

Okay, it is strictly a
coincidence that Doug is here.

Yeah, but you checking
his Instagram page

for his tagged location is not.

But that's none of my business.

I'll just be right over here,
eating my olives.

Since the guys are all here,

we should just go say hey, right?

Oh, I'm not really...

And... we're doing this.

[Laughter]

Hello, everyone.

- Hey.
- Yo.

- Hi.
- What's up?

- Hey.
- Hi. I'm Jazlyn.

- And you are?
- Lola.

Oh, Lola. That is so pretty.

Like Bugs Bunny's girlfriend.

Are you anyone's girlfriend?

No.

Wow! Single!

What was your last name, again?

Okay, um, Jazz, I-I think
I smell our jalapeño poppers.

[Whispering] We should go.
[Normal voice] Nice to meet you.

That was awkward.

You and Jazz good?

I mean, we're not... not good?

We've just been taking some space

so she can focus on her Olympic trials.

We're, like, putting a little
pin in the relationship.

Oh, so... so you guys are broken up?

No, we're just, you know, uh...

waiting on each other, I guess.

So, can you have sex with other
people while you're waiting, or...?

Nah. But...

Brah, you might as well suit up
and get out on the field,

because your ass is being played.

I'm sorry. How is he being played?

His girl doesn't want
to have sex with him,

but she doesn't want him
to have sex with other people.

That's basically telling the man
not to breathe.

Okay, see, that's some typical
double-standard nonsense.

When male athletes
are training for a big game,

they abstain from sex,
expecting their girls to wait,

- and there's never a question.
- That's true.

I don't know. Maybe I'd wait.

If, uh...

my penis got cut off in
a very tragic farming accident

or something like that.

But, hey, more power to you, man.

VIVEK: All I know is, it takes
a lot of restraint, okay?

I personally could not wait.
I need to be smashing.

You don't be smashing as it is.

Yeah, but when I start, okay,
I don't plan on stopping, okay?

I will be living inside the vag*na.

O... kay, I hate to say it,
but I get what Vivek's saying.

Obviously, not the living-inside part,

but relationships are hard as it is,

so for Doug's girl to add
another complicated layer,

it's unfair.

Fair or unfair,

I think Doug is making
a respectable decision.

Thank you.

I say, if you want to be
a basketball wife,

you go out there and be

the best damn basketball wife
you can be.

- You know what?
- Okay?

Okay. I'm ready.

- Yo. You good?
- Hm?

You forget your inhaler or something?

Oh, don't worry about it.
I b*at asthma yesterday.

Anyways, I know I'm supposed to
go to Italy in a few days

and we had a lot of plans
tonight, but...

honestly, I just kind of want to
chill here with you all night.

♪♪

I'm sorry. What plans?

Thank you.

Okay, so,
since we're staying in tonight,

- [Shoes thud]
- we might as well make every second count.

The floor is lava.

You're wildin' right now.

Come on. Didn't you ever
play this game as a kid?

[Inhales sharply] I never was a kid.

Dude, it's a game, okay?

So, for the next two days,
we cannot touch the floor,

or our feet will be melted by the lava.

Come on.

[Chuckling] Come on.

Um...

What?

How are we gonna get to the bed?

Oh.

Screw it. I don't need feet.

[Chuckles]

Oh, your toes are melting!

You don't have any more toes!

- They're useless anyway.
- [Chuckles]

WOMAN ON P.A.:
Flight 472 has been delayed.

INDIGO: So nice in here!

What? It's not that I don't like her.

It's just, like, she's a lot.

Zoey!

See what I mean? A lot.

Hey, girl!

This delayed flight is some B.S., right?

Yeah, tell me about it.

Hm.

Any plans for your days off?

Nothing major. Just really
hanging with my girls

and possibly...
getting up with this guy.

- You have a boo?
- Mm-hmm.

Is it Ne-Yo?

No.

My boo is just a regular,
everyday dude named Aaron.

We've had
this backand-forth relationship

since, like, freshman year, and...

if I really think about it,
I wouldn't even be where I was,

like, right now in my career,

if it wasn't for how supportive he is.

And before I left, we kissed.

- [Giggles]
- And you know what?

I'm just kind of
in a secure enough place now

where I want to talk to him about it.

If you really like dude,

don't waste your time talking
about no little kiss.

Take control of the situation
and tell him how you feel!

Be on your boss sh*t.

Wow.

I mean, she's not wrong.

I left Cal U to be a grown woman,

so why not follow it up
with grown-woman actions?

Look at this. Gonna text Aaron.

♪♪

- [Cellphone whooshes]
- Okay, there. Wow. There.

I sent it and just put it all out there.

- Look at you.
- Mm-hmm.

[Cellphone whooshes]

Oh, my God.
And he's already responded.

He says he wants to hook up
as soon as I'm back.

See? I told you!

On your boss sh*t!

♪♪

Ladies!

I'm back!

Well, that was uneventful.

It's not that I expect
an HBCU party every time,

but, like, a
"Welcome Back, Zoey" sheet cake

would've been nice.

[Exhales sharply]

Let me locate these hoes.

All right, so...

Anna, Jazz, and Sky
are at the Student Union.

And...

look at that.

Aaron is at Titanium.

But priorities first.

I'm gonna pop up on my girls
and then surprise Aaron.

I mean, I've made the man
wait this long.

What's, like, a few more hours?

[Indistinct conversations]

Oh, my gosh. Y'all gotta see this!

Don't these clouds look
exactly like Jesus?

Y'all cannot tell me
that does not look like Our Boy.

You are way too addicted

to that Biblical Cloud Chasers IG page.

ANA: Um, well, it appears

Sky is not the only one
addicted to IG pages.

I see you've left some comments
on Doug's pictures tonight.

Big deal. We're still cool.

But you orbiting Doug

and coincidentally showing up
at the places he's at...

it's only making things harder.

If your goal with this break

was to stay focused on running track,

then don't sabotage your own plan.

Preach, bitch.

Uh... audio Bible.

♪ Half past 12:00, I was all alone ♪

Okay. I got a game for you.

[Chuckles] Okay.

Pick a hand.

[Exhales sharply]

Um... this one.

Wrong hand.

Um...

pick another hand.

Wrong hand.

You're really bad at this game.

Mm. Nice.

How'd you do that?

I was thinking, when I was gone,
you could post up here.

Wow. Lucs.

Yeah, I never really gave anybody access

take this the wrong way, but...

♪♪

About time, okay?

I take it you were stalling

to avoid me getting
all up inside that ass!

- No.
- I heard it. I'm sticking with it.

All right, relax.

I was just responding to Lola
about going to the movies.

So, like, a date?

No, we're just hanging out.

Yeah, but are you planning on
having cheddar sprinkles

with your popcorn?

- I don't know. Probably.
- Whoa.

That's definitely a date.

You think Jazz will be okay

with you sitting in
a dark theater with some chick

eating delectable, well-seasoned
popcorn out of your lap?

I-I don't know.

I... I don't see why not?

Really? I mean, because a date
or non-date to the movies

is basically a precursor to sex,
which you can't have.

All right, a-are you trying
to say I shouldn't go?

Dude, I don't know.

I'm not the one not having sex with you.

Ask Jazz.

♪♪

So, after some careful consideration,

I decided not to go to the Student Union

to see my girls first,
because the reality is,

the union's for students,
which I no longer am.

And do I really want to disrespect

higher education like that?

Mnh-mnh-mnh.

All right, you guys heading out?

What's up? What's up?

There he is,
looking all sorts of kissable.

♪♪

♪♪

- Hey, Zoey.
- Hey.

You're... You're home. Welcome back.

Good to see ya.

Yeah, you have no idea

how much I-I couldn't wait to see you.

Yeah, that's why I, uh...
I wanted to talk to you.

- Obviously, there's...
- Hey.

I got the drinks.

- Hey.
- Oh, great.

Uh, could I have
a vodka and soda, please?

No, no, no. That's, uh...
This is Rochelle.

- Hi.
- My, um...

My girlfriend.

- [Chuckles]
- Yeah. So...

Make it a double.

ROCHELLE: Hey, I'm just
gonna go grab a seat.

- It was nice meeting you.
- Mm.

Um...

[Exhales sharply]

So... uh, girlfriend.

Yeah, um...

we got together during winter break.

That's kind of why
I wanted to hook up and talk.

Wow.

So...

So, I guess we have
very different definitions

of what "hook up" means.

Zoey, I'm sorry. I... I wasn't...

Uh, please don't be sorry. Don't. Nope.

Um...

I'm happy for you.

Humiliated for me,
but, uh... but congrats.

Congrats. Con... Congrats.

WOMAN: Exactly what we saw
on the runways of Paris

all summer long.

WOMAN #2: And, you know, you
can really see the influence

that these designs have ever
since they took that big break.

- [TV shuts off]
- Okay.

I feel like I should explain to you

why I didn't want the key.

I mean, if we're gonna be together,

I feel like it's best
if I open up about my past.

Like what? Were you a serial k*ller?

Look, the reason I didn't want your key

is because I was scared.

Last year, I was engaged.

- Engaged?
- Yeah.

Like, to be married?

Was it arranged?

It was with my high-school boyfriend,

and we were just moving way too fast.

I mean, I barely even knew who I was,

so I broke things off.

He was... really hurt.

And I felt really bad.

It sucked.

Wow.

That's, um...

That's a lot.

Yeah.

So, when you offered me
the key, I don't know.

I was just nervous that
I was moving too fast again.

Okay, this is what I'm gonna do.

I'm rescinding your offer on the key,

and I'll just let Carl
sit on it instead.

Wait, Carl? Is... Is that your neighbor?

No, she's my baby cactus
outside my door.

And if you ever feel like crashing here,

the key will be under Carl,
and if not, zero pressure.

I'm so sorry

you found out about Rochelle

No, you don't owe me

Uh... she seems really nice.

You know, when I got that text from you

saying how you felt about me,
it was everything

that I've wanted to hear
for the past three years.

But...?

This is gonna sound awful, but I...

I put myself out there
so many times for you,

so many times, and I just...

I'm scared you'll play me again,
you know?

I wouldn't.

Yeah, you wouldn't mean to.

But whether it be you
leaving for your job

or meeting somebody else

or just realizing that this game we play

is what you actually like

I can't. I cannot trust you

if we're allowed to sit
on the same couch right now.

Doug, seriously?

Yeah, Jazz. For real.

[Scoffs]

Look, I-I-I'm confused about
the terms of this whole breakup

'cause you're sending me
mad mixed signals.

Like, y-y-you're popping up
everywhere I'm at.

We're waiting for each other.

Okay, but what does that mean?

Like, what's my day-to-day life?

Can I text another girl?

Can we chill?

Go to the movies?

I can't even believe
I'm about to say this right now.

But this situation
I've set up isn't fair.

Maybe it's just...

better for both of us...

Yeah.

I-I guess that's probably for the best.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I-I guess that's a term I can manage.

ZOEY: So, after Jazz and I
had both experienced

some unexpected heartbreak,

our girls were there to lift our spirits

and remind us that while
those chapters may be closed,

our stories were just beginning.

Ladies... Zoey, Jazz, Sky... phones out.

Okay.

Okay.

So, we've all agreed...

no more wasting our time in the past.

From now on, we are moving forward.

So, on the count of three,
Zoey, mute Aaron's account,

Jazz, mute Doug,

and, Sky, for all of our sake,

please mute Biblical Cloud Chasers.

Amen.

One... two...

Done.

Done!

I'm sorry, guys. I just can't do it.

- Sky.
- Dude.

- No.

Hi, baby Luna.

Hi!

I'm sorry, guys.

You got to give me
some time with babies.

You?

No. But, you know,
if I wanted to, I really could.
