'Cause you’re sh*t

my brother's going to
accept your apology.

The boy holds a grudge
longer than Medea.

Well I’m running out
of ways to say sorry.

[OPAL SIGHING]

Well, if you won’t
stop begging for yourself,

then do it for me.

You’re the one person on this lake

I can lowkey look up to.

Thanks, Opal, I really need...

I did it for all of us.

You were one sorry away

from standing outside
his window with a boombox.

[PHONE RINGING]

You’re up early.

Uh, yeah, 'cause it’s Tiltapalooza!

Who can sleep in baby?

And you know who else couldn't sleep in?

Oh, oh, oh, oh... Surprise!

- Surprise baby!
- [OLIVER] Hey Billie-Bear!


Mom?! Dad?!

- [ANIMALISTIC SQUEAKING]

Oh, yeah, there's...

probably just a squirrel
or raccoon or something.

They caught the last guy
who was living in the walls.

- [GASP] The walls?
- You get teenage ass


back here with your lifejacket on.

'Cause you got parents to hug.

The view’s spectacular, honey. Come see.

Looks fine from here.

I don’t like the look of those railings.

Oh, yeah, the hint of imminent death

is part of what gives
this place its charm.

People on the lake call
it the m*rder Cabin.

Was someone actually m*rder*d here?

Oh yeah; Kidnapping,

cannibalism, black market abattoir...

It just needs a little
love and an exorcism.

Billie and I love it so much
I actually put an offer on it

but it’s conditional so we'll see.

Should have the financing
sorted by the end of day.

What happened with your family’s place?

Billie said you had your heart set on it

but there was conflict
with your step-sister.

Yeah, more ancient blood feud.

But I think that we've
come to an agreement

that’s gonna let us bury the hatchet.

Not in each other’s faces.

Hi! Hi!

[OVERLAPPING GREETINGS]

When did you get here?

Yesterday. We took an early flight back

- and drove straight up.
- We just missed you too much.

Justin says we arrived
in time for Tatapalooza.

- Tat-a-tat-tat.
- Tiltapalooza, yeah.

But if you’re super jet-lagged

we could just get
breakfast or something.

Yeah, it’s the
Boathouse’s last big hurrah

before the end of the year.

But it’s just, like, silly
games and races and stuff.

You can totally skip
it. Go to breakfast.

I dunno, it sounds kinda
fun. What do you think, Naomi?

Is it indoors?

we will celebrate the end of summer.

Two Wayne burgers. Medium rare.

All right.

You okay there, Wayner?

What am I gonna do without
my sweet baby Jayne?

Yeah... Maisy and I were sorry
to hear you’re splitting up.

Oh, I mean... she said
we’re just taking a break.

Ooh.

f*ck.

Hey, you know how in Michael Bay movies,

- Wahlberg’s always the sh*t?
- Yeah, yeah.

But then these bad robots show up

and then for a moment he's like,

"Wait a minute, am I the sh*t?"

But then he kicks some ass

and he’s like, "I am the
sh*t, I'm totally the sh*t."

I used to think that I was a Wahlberg,

now with Jaynie leaving
me I'm starting to think

- maybe I’m just a sad Shia.
- Stop.

- Why is she leaving me?
- Well, you day drink

you don't really take care of the kids

and you're a terrible listener.

- Two hot dogs. Well done.
- Exactly.

When we get back to the city,

I'm probably gonna have to
crash with you guys for a bit.

Stop. Listen to me very carefully.

You may not be a Wahlberg,

but I can help you be
the next best thing.

Me.

Look, you just need a win, big guy.

Once Jaynie sees you take
down a nine time Tilting champ,

love will bloom again my friend.

Yeah! Dude, I'll be like
Wahlberg from Boogie Nights.


Different kinda love, bud.

Right, well without the
cocaine and all the p*rn.

Maybe a bit of p*rn.

- Thank you Victor!
- Ow. Yup.

Jayne and Wayne together again. Woo.

- Here you go, babe.
- Oh, but I asked for a burger.

Yeah, sorry.

With Jayne gone rogue,
Wayne’s off his grill game.

"Do ear infections cause vertigo?"

I put extra weight in Justin’s paddle

but I still need more of an edge.

Ooh, Fear of losing is healthy.

Any more Brené Brown and I
swear I’ll move in with Jayne.

God, tilting is so juvenile.

I should’ve banned
it when I was president.

I dunno, I think it's kinda cool.

It’s a cock fight concussion factory

that could cost us our cottage.

What are you talking about?

Derrick changed his will

and left the cottage
in a trust for Justin.

Everything that we worked
for could go to Billie.

And we could get lawyers involved

but that would be expensive
and probably take forever, so...

Trial by tilt. Not such a bad idea, huh?

Only if I b*at Justin though.

Well, you always come up
with something. Usually legal.

[JAYNE] Fire in the hole!

Summer of Jayne...

I’m going to put in an offer
on Whoreen’s m*rder cabin.

- We can’t afford that.
- Yes we can.

Even if Justin wins and
we have to buy him out,

we can use the left over
money from our renovation

for a down payment...

And then we buy the m*rder cabin cheap.

Flip it and Airbnb it.

We could, like, double our
money in a couple of years.

Then we ride Justin's skinny
ass off this lake. Yes.

I’m gonna ride you like
a pony when we get home.

Giddy up.

♪♪♪

She is a bonified entrepren-her

I'm loving this journey for you.

That means so much coming from you.

I mean, you make
everything look so easy.

Kids, career... capris!

I heard about you and
Wayne. How're you doing?

I feel great.

I... I am so excited to explore
this woman that I'm becoming.

And... and other women or...

Or just one woman...

Well, here is a woman standing
in front of another woman

asking her to be their second.

- Uh, in your tilt with Justin.
- Mm-hm.

Maisy...

I would be honored.

I will not let you down.

No, I feel like I let you down.

I got so wrapped up in
Justin trying to stop my reno

that I barely noticed
that my best friend

- might be getting a divorce.
- Best friend...

And I've lost sight of
what is really special

about the lake, you know?

It's family and friends coming together.

Which is why I need
a cottage for my mom.

You know, I don't know
how much time she has left.

And I think that
Whoreen’s would be ideal.

It's close enough, but
there's a lake inbetween.

O.M. Jeepers, this is so exciting!

- You are my third offer today.
- Oh!

My first listing in years is blowing up!

- Girl’s still got it!
- Oh, she sure does!

There's just one little
thing, which is, um...

We were hoping to get
it a titch under asking

because funds are really
tight with the reno, you know?

Uh, sometimes writing a
letter to the owner can help...

My mom will be fine in the bunkie.

But here is another offer
that you cannot turn down.

We cannot have another summer

with Ulrika as president, right?

- No.
- So if you need

a VP, that's me...

Okay.

I can make Whoreen come round.

And then... then I have so
many ideas for my presidency.

- I just wanna...
- Awesome.

Okay. Bye!

You can step down, Brunhilda

The Boathouse president
always MCs the Tilts.

I think for wordplay and
drama, it’s better if I do.

I don’t work with children.

Neither do I.

- Let the Tilting begin!
- Let the Tilting begin!


[OPAL] Alright, first
up, a battle of champions.

Both Tilters have won nine times.

Yes, Wayne’s last title was eleven years

and forty pounds ago but
don’t count that bad boy out.

The "Moore with More" could
rise and take the title

from Boathouse favorite,
"Vic-the-Stick".

Well let’s see if he's still

got the moves on unfrozen water.

Hey, keep it clean.

No head sh*ts.

If you’re drowning, speak
up! We can’t read lips!

Is Jaynie watching?

- Yup.
- Okay.

Look, you got this.

Just take one swipe at
my leg and I'll dive in.

Okay. You’re going down, Lin!

Go Daddy! Woo!

Come on, baby, you got this!

Ah! Yeah!

- That was gonna happen.
- Mm. Sad.

That was really fast.

- What the f*ck?
- I'm sorry, it was instinct.

- [CHEERING]
- Thank you.

Mwah, mwah!

Jayne...

I can’t hear you drowning...

[VICTOR MUTTERING TO TROPHY]

- Congrats, Dad.
- Thanks, son.

[RILEY] Ten year champ.

No way anyone beats your record now.

Except the reigning,
defending, Junior champ!

One day you’re gonna
send my ass into the lake.

And I couldn’t be prouder, son.

Who am I tilting with anyway?

Billie. Last minute entry.

Look, she’s the only one
with the balls to take you on.

But don’t let that psych you out.

Keep your core braced
and you can’t lose.

I tried, I couldn’t.

We’re winners, son.

What about all that "losing’s
the new winning" sh*t?

No shade to Brené but
losing is for losers.

Now I gotta put this little baby down.

We're gonna take a little nap.

Good, good, good. Yes.

[CHEERING AND GRUNTING]

So, you try to capsize their canoe

with a giant foam wrapped paddle?

Dad said I needed closure.

Okay, we told you not to drink the tea.

Don’t worry. Tilting’s in my blood.

No, that padding is not adequate.

I'm gonna get you another lifejacket.

Mom...

- You sure?
- I'll...

Hey.

So, first my cottage, and now my title?

Can you just let me have one thing?

Can you just accept an apology?

He ignores me for a week

but he’ll talk about his stupid title.

It’s a family thing.

Of course you wouldn’t understand.

Right. Cuz I have four families.

"Oooh, I’m Billie. Daddy
didn’t want me. Boo hoo."

Well your grampa left me the
cottage, so I guess he did.

Everything was just normal f*cked up

until you made me think you liked me.

I did like you!

You tried to steal my cottage
and then you lied to my face.

I was high to your face!

I tried to stop your dumbass reno

because you were crying
about your cottage

being turned into a castle!

So that was bullshit too. That's great.

Get your own lane, Killian.

Twisting words is your mom’s thing.

Like playing victim is your dad’s?

Birth-dad!

Just drop out.

Please.

You owe me.

[BILLIE SCOFFING]

An apology.

Which I already gave.

Take the title.

You already took everything else.

[VICTOR] What happened? You
want me to come with you?

- [KILLIAN] No.
- Are you sure...

It's been a cruel summer.

Barely. Killian forfeited.

Still counts. Still proud.

Still gonna drive Maisy cuckoo-bananas.

I’m sorry that things
didn’t work out with Killian.

He’s a dumb dumb.

Probably for the best with
the whole step-cousin vibe.

Yeah, you didn’t want to
be DeFlowered-in-the-Attic.

...Guess I was wrong. Honesty
isn’t always the way.

Not if you’re high anyways.

Holy sh*t, are you high?

What did you take, weed? Molly?

Did Ulrika give you peyote...

Mushrooms. At Quadchella. Relax.

Thank f*ck. Okay. I'm sorry, yeah.

Just, maybe don’t mention
that ever to your parents.

I think they're finally
starting to see me

as a crediblish human being.

Hey. You need a second?

Always. First time I just
obsess about my angles.

Jokes. We’re actually all good.

Billie’s gonna ride sidesaddle with me.

Dude brought a paddle.

Clearly he wants to
fight for your honor.

I love a lost cause.

Oh, God, you guys.

Okay, got any advice? Or steroids?

Just remember to brace your core.

I don't have one of those.

Uh, this tilt is for
the cottage, isn't it?

Yeah.

Then your core is braced.

Let's wreck her.

Right, like the vow you made with Wayne?

The code of Real Estate is unbreakable.

My marriage was breaking me.

But it all worked out.

Justin didn’t get the cabin.

He won’t be back next year.

and I have loved with you.

But I won't let you and Wayne

hold this Girl Boss back any more.

I have lived in your

so I know what you do in the dark.

And I will use every one
of your pretty little lies

to win President next summer.
