03x15 - Sorry to Father You

[bunniefuu]

Raven's Home was filmed in
front of a live studio audience.

- You do it.
- No, you do it.

No, no. You do it.

- No, you do it!
- You do it!

- No, you do it.
- No, you do it.

Hey! I wanted to do it.

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

- Yes! Yes!
- Oh, yeah.

Ooh! They're doing
the fri-yay dance!

Oh, I love the weekend!

- Woo-woo!
- Ay, oh!

You guys, I'm not
doing the fri-yay dance.

No. This is the fri-yay dance.

I'm doing the "your
mom and I just booked

a friend-iversary trip" dance.

Also, I have an itch.

Not to quibble,
but, very similar.

Not to quibble,
but that's a quibble.

Yeah, Nia, just think
about how much fun

- we're gonna have when dad comes.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down.

Just because
Chelsea and I are gone

you can't get away
with any funny biz.

Uh, but funny biz is my biz.

I always get excited
on dad weekend.

Oooh, I'm pumped!

This'll be my dad's
first official dad weekend

since he got out
of... You know where.

Prison?

See, you know where.

So, where are you guys going on
your friend-iversary trip this year?

Bungee jumping? Extreme karaoke?

Close. The spa.

But, uh, don't your
friend-iversary trips

always end in disaster?

I'll tell you right now,

I'm not pulling out any
more porcupine quills.

You might not have
any scars, but I do.

Well, you won't
have to do that, okay?

This year we're
breaking the curse.

We're going to a luxury
spa. All chill, no quill.

The closest thing I've had
to a spa treatment lately

is standing in front of
the dishwasher and lettin'

the steam open my pores.

Is that why you always
ask to do the dishes?

Well, that, and the dish soap
makes my hands so baby soft.

Feel! Feel!

Don't touch me with
your baby hands.

- Do not touch me!
- Feel them!

Whoo!

You're right. This is
a great way to pack.

I know, right? I
mean, it's not the best,

but it sure is the most fun.

So, you excited
for this weekend?

What are you planning to
do while your dad's in charge?

Nothing really.

I'm not gonna take advantage
of my mom being gone.

Oh Nia, you're so
young. So naive.

Bananas.

So, how have things been
between you and your dad?

We video-chat every day,

and he always sends
me the best gifts.

Not just you. He
sent me this trophy.

That's a goblet. You're
supposed to drink out of it.

Oh, good. 'Cause I've been
drinking out of it anyway.

It just feels so good
to have an open

and honest relationship
with my dad again.

Yeah. Yeah,
that-that must be nice.

Why do you say that?

Well...

Me and my dad are open
and honest about everything.

Except, um...

I haven't told him
about my visions.

Should have done
that a while ago.

Why haven't you said anything?

Yeah, Booker. He's our dad.

Right, and this
is one more thing

that makes me more like
mom and different from him.

Hello, family!

Oh, you... you
guys came together?

What'd ya... What'd
ya share a SCÜT?

I didn't know there was a
weatherman-conman ride share program.

Ah!

You called it, mate.

A dig within the first minute.

Ooh. Look at that, Chels.

Our friend-iversary
curse is almost gone.

Yeah, it is! Gas
money! Let's hit the road.

- Let's go!
- Yeah, let's do it!

You're not gonna leave
us with a bunch of rules?

What about the...

You feed them and
water them. Bye!

Whoo! I am b*at.

That drive really
took it out of me.

Well, you did sleep
the whole way.

I, on the other hand...

I would like a wake-up
call for around noon.

No, no, no. Make it noon-ish.

Noon adjacent.

Actually, one o'clock.
There it is. One o'clock.

Drop and give me , dirt bags!

Ahhh!

Oh, I'm sorry, sir, I think
you got the wrong place.

You must be looking for the
army convention. This here is a spa.

Negatory, soldier.

This used to be a spa. It is
now a relaxation bootcamp.

Relaxation?

Is that what I'm feeling?

We combine the
relaxation of a spa

with a m*llitary diet
and exercise regimen.

Oh, but, sir, when I looked
on the website, it was...

It said seaweed wraps...

And things and-and whatnots.

I'm sorry, whatnots?

Uh-huh.

I'll tell you what
you're not gonna do.

Stand there and give me
lip when you got push-ups!

Chels, it's the curse
of the friend-iversary.

I know! Listen, we
can't let it b*at us, Rae!

I can stick it out if you can.

I can stick it out. I can
stick it out. You ready?

- Morning, sleepy heads!
- You kids were knackered last night!

Do I smell marmite and
toast, and bubble and squeak?

These are Levi's favorite British
delicacies from when he was a lad.

Aww. I love that.

Dad, did you make
us any delicacies?

Well, funny you should ask,

because this is the
weekend that I share with you

all my secret traditional
Carter cuisines.

Wait. For real?

You're gonna teach us
all your secret recipes?

Hey, my secrets are
your secrets, Booker.

See if you can guess this one.

Okay. Definitely strawberry.

And banana.

And a, uh, a flavor I can't
quite put my tongue on.

Give up? It's onion.
And that's the secret!

You know, onion
secrets aren't for me.

But this guy, oh, he
loves a good secret.

Tell him.

So, chap, what do you want
to get into this weekend?

Well, I've actually given
this a lot of thought.

We missed a lot when
you were in prison...

I prefer the term "away."

What if we did a
rapid-fire mash-up

of all the holidays, birthdays,

and movie premieres you missed?

That sounds jolly good!

To the party store
for provisions!

But my squeak!

- Leave it!
- But my pajamas!

Change 'em!

Do I smell marmite and toast?

What? I have a British cousin.

You don't know my life.

So, Tess. I've been thinking
about what you said earlier.

And, there is one thing that I
could never do if mom were here.

- Go on.
- It's a little crazy.

- I'm listening.
- Raid my mom's closet.

Still listening.

No, that's it.

Aw, Nia. You're great
at building suspense,

but you really need to
work on your landing.

What am I even thinking?

I can't raid my mom's closet.

She'd k*ll me.

Hey, your mom will never know.

I mean, your dad won't tell her.

Just ask him.

Okay!

Hey, dad, is it okay if I grab
something from mom's closet?

What are you looking for?

He knows! He knows! I can't
get away with this kind of stuff.

What stuff?

It's kind of a
girl thing, Mr. C.

Okay, never mind. Yeah, we don't
need to talk about this anymore.

You girls go right on ahead.

Face masks, huh?

Easy peasy, right?
Cursed schmursed.

See, Chels,

that is the attitude that's
gonna get us through this.

It's the kind of attitude we
needed on that friend-iversary

where we signed
up for space camp.

- Remember that?
- Oh, yeah.

It turned out to just
be a big ol' warehouse

where everybody
kept their distance.

Welcome to morning bootcamp!

Did everyone enjoy
their breakfast?

Oh, yeah, I really
enjoyed that glass of water

and stick of celery.

Great.

You will need the energy.

You will be here for
one hour. Step up!

One hour?

Be back here for five
more sessions today.

What? Five more sessions?

That's five more sessions
than I actually wanted to have.

Just think about that
other half of that celery stick

we get when we're done!

That is what I'm
thinking about, Chels.

That's what I'm thinking about.

Come on! Now step, now down!
Now step, now down! Now step...

So, mate, is this the best
Halloween- arbor-giving ever, or what?

It's my only Halloween-
arbor-giving ever,

but I think we set
the bar really high.

My next secret recipe,

is how I get my
burgers so oniony.

It's garlic.

But mostly onion.

Hey, can we talk about
something for a minute?

Of course! You
can tell me anything.

I'm so glad you said that...

You know, Nia and I
have a lot in common,

but I think there's
something truly special

about a relationship
between father and son.

Uh, speaking of special...

That's why I wanted to share
with you all my secret recipes

just like my father did with me.

Man, we had so much
in common, just like us.

So, what did you
want to talk about, son?

Uhhh... so with these onions,

are we talking cubes or slices?

Neither. And that's the secret.

Wait, which holiday is this?

Isn't it obvious?

Uh, I'm gonna go with a
strong, "no, it's not obvious."

We're combining birthdays,

St. Patrick's day, and
national banana split day.

Look at me jig. I'm jigging!

Anyway, what did your
dad say about your visions?

I, uh... I haven't told him yet.

I started to, but then he talked
about how connected we are,

and I felt bad again.

It's too late to tell him.

Oh, no! I just had a vision
of my dad on the roof.

He's gonna get hurt.

I gotta get him downstairs now.

Dad, I need you
downstairs, quick!

But I'm making my
special onion burgers.

You're really all-in
on this onion thing.

I'll watch the burgers!

Eighty-five, , ...

Um, excuse me. How many
of these do we have to do?

Well, as long as you princesses
want your seaweed wraps,

y'all are gonna have to
keep doing your sit-ups.

When you stop, it stops!

C'mon, Chels, we
can't give up now, okay?

We've come too far.

I can't do it, Rae.

I can't. It's the curse.
Leave me behind, okay?

Just tell my story, all
right? Make it sound heroic.

Chels, I am not that
good a storyteller.

All right? But I'll
tell you one thing.

I'll tell you what's heroic.

- A single mother who lost it all.
- Really?

Yeah. Clawing her
way out of the depths.

Yeah.

Yeah! Yeah! Making
it to this friend-iversary

to do sit-ups just
to earn a seaweed wrap!

- Yeah!
- Yes!

Yes, Rae. Gosh,
you really are great

at this storytelling thing.

Affirmative! Whoo,
you had me spellbound!

Thank you.

Now let me tell you a little
story about two dirt bags

who need to finish
their sit-ups, huh?

Rebellion feels so good!

Yeah, but why didn't we
just stay in your mom's room?

Tess, you Rob a bank,

are you gonna stay in the
vault and count the money?

Oooh, good point.

Next time I'm planning a bank
robbery, you're my first call.

Next time?

I'm sorry, today is about you.

Which do you
want to try on first?

Well, Tess, these
clothes are vintage.

But these earrings... Priceless.

Ooooooh.

Okay, I've been under
this sink for minutes now,

and I see no sign of this
spider army you mentioned.

They've got eight
legs. They move fast.

I'm sure they'll turn up.

Hey, let's get back
to those burgers

so we can grill,
chill... Ya feel?

Wait! Dad, dad! Hold on, wait!

You know what?
Here is one great idea.

What if... what if
we grill indoors?

- That's fun. Right?
- Ah, boy. You're delirious.

Did you feel that?

I just got a chill

- like your mom was in the room.
- No mom, just us.

Oh, you guys look great!

Thanks, dad!

Hey, are those
the earrings that...

Hey, girl stuff, Mr. C.

Okay, okay. You girls do you.

Hey, who's ready
for some burgers?

- Oh, I am.
- Oh yeah.

Burgers go great with rebellion.

You see? That's
what I'm talking about.

I have no idea what's
going on over there.

But you and me? Same page.

Yep! Same page.

Same book of lies.

You call that deep tissue?

Put your thumbs into it!

Even when he's
yelling at other people,

it still feels like
he's yelling at us.

Just keep your head down

and do your flies.

Fly, girl, fly!

I can't take this
anymore! I hate this!

I hate it more!

The curse has
beaten us. Okay, Rae?

It's won. It's won!

We tried! We tried!

Gimme that whistle!

You need to change your website.

Mmm. All done.

Whoa, what's the rush?

Nothing, but why don't
you finish yours downstairs?

I feel like we
shouldn't be up here.

Book, what do you
have against the roof?

It's just so...
roof-ish. Ya know?

Boy, get out of here.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Wow, Tess, rebellion
looks so good on us.

Yeah, but those
earrings are giving me life!

We should take a picture.

Yes, yes. But you
can't post it anywhere.

That's how they follow the
trail right back to our door.

Girl, you are blowing my mind.

What's under the tarp, dad?

Well, Levi, as you know,

we watched your favorite
films of the last two years:

Go kart racer chaser
and go kart racer chaser :

Kart a little faster.

So I got you... No way!

What? This is
awesome. Thanks, dad.

But is it safe?

Totally safe, my boy. Yep!

It's completely locked down.

I can control it with
this app right here.

Dad, dad, you have to move.

- Why?
- Something terrible's about to happen.

- Trust me! I had a vision!
- What?

I had a vision!

Whoaaa!

Oh, no. It was this
button right here.

My mistake. No
harm, no foul, eh?

- Tess, are you good?
- Yeah.

But you're missing an earring.

What?

Now I'm really gonna get it.

Wait, what? Booker,
am I hearing this right?

Did you say you have visions?

Like your mom has visions?

Yes. But I don't need visions
to see that I let you down

by keeping secrets.

I'm sorry.

Well, another
friend-iversary down the drain.

Gosh, Rae, do you think this says
something about our friendship?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Yeah, I was afraid
you'd say that.

I think it means that our
friendship is indestructible.

- Really?
- Yeah, I do.

I mean, who else can say
they survived a porcupine patch,

sergeant flex,

and remember that rash
we got after the alpaca ride?

I totally forgot
about that rash.

Yeah.

Man, we really have had some
horrible times, haven't we, Rae?

Yes, we have,
Chels. Yes, we have.

But next year, let's just
keep it simple, okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Parachuting off
a hot air balloon?

Yes!

So, was this weekend
everything you wanted it to be?

Yeah, but my
stomach's still rumbling

from jump rope sloppy Joe day.

Ground beef and
gyrating is not a good mix.

I know that sigh.

That's the Grayson
exhaustion sigh.

What's the bother?

I had a great time this weekend,

but maybe it was a little
ambitious for us to try

and cram years worth of
holidays into one weekend.

Well, at least the
go kart was a smash.

Sure. I saw my life
flash before my eyes,

but the important thing
is that you were in it.

How about this?

From now on, we
leave the past in the past

and we focus on the present.

And the future.

That is a deal, mate.

Oh.

- Ha!
- Are you okay there, dad?

Oh, jigging's a
young man's game.

Tess, we looked
everywhere for the earring.

It's gone.

I might as well
take responsibility,

pack my bags and
move in with dad.

Hey, I think I found one of
your mom's earrings on the roof.

What? Dad, thank you so much!

Where'd you find this?

The same place I found it
when I gave it to your mom.

On the ground next to a go kart.

Really? Mom said that
these were priceless.

She did?

Yeah, I still got it.

I gotta talk to your brother, but
I wanna hear more about this.

Wait, so you rebelled,
everything went wrong,

you got caught, and
your dad's happy about it?

Teach me your ways!

Booker, we need to talk
about what happened up there.

I'm sorry. I know I
ruined our weekend.

Stop saying that.

And stop apologizing
for who you are.

Wait, so... You're-you're
not mad at me

or disappointed in me
for being... different?

Of course I'm not.

You're my son.

And I love you no matter what.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to, but it was
never the right time.

Then, it kind of became
normal to keep it a secret.

Yeah, I guess a part of
me did always wonder,

you know, with your mom and all.

Ah, man, I always
thought that it would be Nia.

You can't get
anything past that kid.

- She is so smart.
- Yeah, that... that...

Not the time.

Well, now that everything's
out in the open...

What did you think about
mom's visions anyway?

Well, if I'm being honest...

Whoa, did you feel that?

No, but I smell it.

Seaweed?

Yes, it's seaweed.

Ah, the friend-iversary curse?

Yes. Now what were you saying
about me before I came in here?

Booker was telling
me that he has visions.

Really? You told him?

I felt like it was something
you could have told me, Rae.

No, no. That is
Booker's story to tell.

Yeah and, uh, I've
been agonizing over it.

Well, I know first-hand
how hard that can be.

Remember how long
it took me to tell you?

Yeah, you had that vision that I
proposed to you at captain flounders,

"if the restaurant
has two stars,

then the ring better
have karats."

And that was the start
of you not listening to me.

You should have
just listened to...

Anyway, I'm glad I told you.

Me, too.

Me three. Come here.

I'm so proud of you.

Now no one in this family
has any secrets, yeah?

Ohh, finally, the spa
treatment we deserve.

- A good steam.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I haven't felt my
pores this open in forever.

- Yo! Where's my lunch?
- Has anyone seen my bag?

- Who ate my waffle?
- Is there any more bubble and squeak?

So relaxing.

- Love you, guys.
- See you guys. Be good.

- Mwah, kisses!
- See you later.

Happy friend-iversary, Rae.

Happy friend-iversary, Chels.
