Dude.

Where are, like, all
the Black people?

That's why Justin and his
family come every year.

Honestly, I haven't been
here since I was a kid.

My aunt and uncle usually come
and visit us in Nantucket.

Okay.

Don't worry, okay?
We're gonna find him.

But my aunt is pretty excited
that we made the trip.

So there's gonna be a lot
of salads and sunsets.

[Keisha] And soup.

- Yeah.
- [Aunt Kat] Oh, and Keisha?

Get whatever you want.
Don't be shy, really.

Because we are probably never
going to leave the house.

Maybe we will when the
guys are back on island.

- Mm!
- [Chloe laughs]

We're gonna find him. Okay?

The plan is still in place.

[gentle music playing]

- [waves lapping]
- [seagulls calling]

[Chloe] Keisha!

Come see our room!

[Chloe laughs]

- Look!
- [Keisha laughs incredulously]

- [Chloe] Isn't it cute? [laughing]
- The view?! [gasps] Girl!

It's literally giving, like,
Better Homes and Gardens, b*tch.

[both laughing]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Chloe] Keisha!

Come here!

- Okay.
- Okay.

Mission: Justin.

Yes.

[Chloe] So, we're here,
and you wanna be...

Here. Oak Bluffs. That's
where the Black people are.

- Okay.
- But first...

- Soup. Salad. Yes.
- Yeah.

[Chloe] Mm-hmm.

[Aunt Kat] I cannot wait
to cut into this cheese.

Oh, that's funny! Cut the cheese. I
can't wait to cut the cheese. [laughing]

- No, I don't wanna do that.
- [Keisha] She cooked so much food.

How are we gonna
get out of here?

- Just eat the salad.
- Okay.

Everything looks amazing.

- Yes, thank you.
- [Aunt Kat] You are so welcome.

Oh, be sure you try those tomatoes,
because they are from my garden. Yes!

- [Chloe] Wow!
- I know! [laughs]

So, what happened
to, like, the sun?

[Aunt Kat] You know, that is what I
love about living on the Vineyard.

It's not our time.
It's island time.

And island time always reminds
us that life exists in the flow.

- [Chloe] Mm.
- You know what I mean?

Basically, the weather
changes a lot here.

Got it.

[Aunt Kat sighs happily]

[phone keyboard clacking]

[cell phone vibrating]

- [phone clunks]
- [Keisha yells] Sorry! Sorry.

Okay. [chuckles]

[Keisha] Sorry.

[sighs] Isn't this
view just marvelous?

- No better place to read a book.
- [cell phone vibrates]

In fact, I think I bought
this place just for this.

[all chuckle]

[Aunt Kat sighs happily]

- Hey, Aunt Kat?
- [Aunt Kat] Mm-hmm?

It says it's gonna be sunny tomorrow.
So, would you take us to Circuit Ave?

Wouldn't you rather
go to the beach?

Oh, I thought we'd
wait for the boys.

All right. Tomorrow it is.
We'll go to Circuit Avenue.

Get your curiosity met.

Thank you.

[Chloe] I don't know, Keish. Think
we're just gonna bump into him?

I mean, he said that they would, you
know, walk up and down this street

like nearly every day

and night.

And plus, there's Black people
here. So, he's gotta be here.

[Chloe] I know you
wanna surprise him,

but honestly I think you should call
him and tell him that we're here.

How? I'm still blocked.

And he's not on socials.

Plus, I wanna surprise him.

I... I want this to be
like my big gesture.

- No, and I love it. Like, it's so rom-com.
- Right?

And if you flew across the
country for me, I'd take you back.

Thank you.

But, Keisha, we're only
here for four days.

Well, then, this is the summer that
you gotta learn how to drive stick.

[Chloe laughs]

Yeah, there's no way she'd
let us touch that car.

I'm liking what I'm seeing.
Let's go to Fat Ronnie's.

- Can we please just check one more time?
- Yeah.

I think guys are always, like,
playing basketball in arcades.

Isn't that their thing?

Well, there are definitely
a lot of kids here.

Yeah.

I mean, I saw the basketball. There's
another one up there we saw...

but he's not there.

[arcade games chiming, dinging]

[Jaden] No, you don't.

Oh my God.

Come on, come on, come on.

That's what I'm talking
about. Let's go! Yes!

Jaden?

Jaden, hi.

Keisha? What are you doing here?

Where's your brother? I'm...

[Dawn] Keisha.

Mrs. Edwards, hi.

- Oh, hi, hi, hi, hi.
- Hi.

What are you doing here? Does
your family vacation here?

Uh, no. I'm here with Chloe.
We went to Brookwood together.

Hi.

So your family comes here?

Actually, my family
summers in Nantucket,

but we're just here
visiting my aunt and uncle.

- It's my first time.
- She's never...

Yeah, we got here
yesterday. [chuckles]

[Dawn] Oh.

Well, hi. I'm, uh,
Auntie Jeanine.

- Yeah, I'm sorry, Jeanine.
- [both laugh]

We are childhood-related too.

So I'm guessing you guys
go to school with Justin?

No. Well, yes, in
elementary school.

Yeah, they reconnected, and they
were a couple for a minute there.

Oh, so cute. Well, I'm sure
he'll be happy to see you.

Uh, well, it was lovely
to meet you ladies.

I'm gonna re-up these boys' cards,
but I just wanna be nosy first.

- I'll see you.
- [Dawn] Okay.

Okay. [laughs]

- Okay, would you, um...
- Um, Mrs. Edwards.

Enjoy your stay.

[arcade sounds continue]

[game expl*si*n sounds]

[whimsical music playing]

[Jeanine] All right,
shoes off and then what?

- [Jaden] Wash our hands.
- [Jeanine] Thank you very much.

Get on up there. Don't run!

[boy] Okay, Mom.

Jaden, no running!

[Jeanine] Hey.

[man] What's up, my baby?

Oh.

Lord have mercy. See
how you threw me off?

- Hi, babe!
- It wouldn't matter.

He was gonna miss that anyway.
He was gonna miss that anyway.

- Why act like when she showed...
- I was hit by the beauty.

- Stop. What up, baby?
- The next thing I know, you was all...

[Dawn] What up, mister?

Winning. Mr. Winning.

- Mr. Winning. Mr. Winning, bro.
- [Dawn] Mwah.

Where's Justin?

Uh, somewhere with Shannon.

Oh.

- Mr. Winning.
- [woman] Hi, Aunt Dee-Dee!

What? We call it out too.

- I'm gonna take that right now.
- Hey.

[Jeanine] Win it back!

in the corner.

[Dawn] Aha!

becomes a master.

I'm locked in.

[Dawn laughs]

Where's Justin?

[Dawn] Mm.

Nice.

Fast.

[Dawn] Save me some pieces.

- Okay.
- Okay?

[Shannon] Mm-hmm.

[knocks on door]

[chill electronic music playing]

Hey.

That sounds really good.

[music stops]

Oh my God! Why'd you stop
it? That was so good.

It was all right.

Is that you?

You made that?

Yeah.

You made that part
that went, um...

[humming]

No, that was a...
that was a sample.

Oh.

So that's not you.

What? No, I... I did the beat.

But not that other part.

I mean, I cut it,
and I mixed it.

But that's somebody
else's music.

But they're called plug-ins.
Okay? I... I rearranged it...

- Is that fair?
- What?

Is that ill*gal?
Can you do that?

Can you take somebody else's work
and claim it like it's your own?

Mom, what do you want?

I just wanted to say hi.

You've been in here

pretty much since we got here.

And the boys are going
for a night swim.

- I thought if you wanna...
- I'm good. Thanks though.

[inhales] I'm here to talk
if you want to, Justin.

Nope.

- It's cool, but thank you.
- [Dawn chuckles wistfully]

Justin, we don't have that many more
summers together. You have been...

Doing exactly what you've
been asking me to do.

I've been studying. I've been training.
I got an A in that summer class.

I mean, it's summer.
Right? Can't I chill?

Yeah. Right.

Okay, don't do that.
Don't do all that.

Do what?

I promised you
Aquinnah. We had a deal.

Yes?

We had a deal, and
the deal still stands.

Uh, I got some donuts
from Back Door.

Donuts, downstairs.
If you wanna...

have some donuts.

Okay.

[Eric, softly] Babe.

[loudly] Babe.

Whoa.

You fell asleep that
fast? What happened?

[Dawn] I'm not asleep.
I'm distracted.

I need you "d*ck-stracted."

- [Dawn giggles] Stop it!
- I'm serious. No, I'm serious.

Because I need Vacation
Dawn. Where's she at?

- She's right here. I got her.

I'm about to wear her out.

- No, I'm serious, though. Come here.

[both moaning]

You know what time it is.

Wait, wait.

- What?
- [Dawn sighs]

Wasn't gonna say anything
'cause I know what you'll say,

but I ran into that
heifer last night.

Who?

Keisha.

Really?

What is she doing here, Eric?

I don't know. Did you
ask him? Does he know?

- I didn't tell him I saw her.
- Oh, damn.

- I know. I'm not proud of myself.
- Come on, Dawn. What the hell?

She here with some white friend.

I guess she's the Black girl
in a white girl's suitcase.

- Let him grow up.
- I don't understand...

Okay. All right.

He's gonna get hurt. It
come with liking girls.

And I know, it's f*cked up.

But if Jordan asks me to go to the prom,
I'm going to the prom with Mike. Okay?

- [both laugh]
- Okay?

I also told Jaden
not to tell him.

Whoa. Babe. Come on.

- Jaden knows?
- I know.

Wow.

It's okay for the
boy to get hurt.

[gentle music playing]

- [Justin] Let me run that shot back.
- [Eric] What you got? Show me something.

Up top, up top. Where your
game at? What you working with?

That's it, that's it. What
you got for this defense?

What's up?

- [Eric laughing]
- [Justin] Ah!

What you "ah" -ing about?

- Ahh! What you mean?
- Get out of here.

What, you wanna turn on the beast?
You know you messing with the beast.

[Aunt Kat] You sure, Keisha?

I could drive you back
to Oak Bluffs tomorrow.


[Keisha] I like adventures.

[Aunt Kat] Well, it certainly will be
one. There's three buses and a bike ride.


Okay. Okay.

[ethereal music playing]

[Jaden] Hey, Dad, we leaving?

[Eric] No, no, no.

You good. Work on your game.

- Okay.
- [Eric] Your brother and I need to talk.

[Eric sighs] Um...

This ain't easy to say.

I guess I'll just say it. Um...

What? You and Mom
are getting divorced?

What? Why would you say that?

I don't know. It's trending,
you know? And Mom's a lot.

No, no, no, no, no.

Your mother's the best thing
that ever happened to me. sh*t.

If we ever get divorced, know
that your mom left me, okay?

And men, men... men run away
from women who are a lot

because they ask
for so much of us.

And then there's the ones
who are "a lot" a lot.

You know them before you lay down. But
that's a story for some other time.

Actually, I wanted
to talk about, um...

Keisha.

She's on the island.

Your mother ran
into her last night.

Apparently she's here like,
I don't know, with a friend.

[pensive music playing]

f*ck.

Yeah.

She's here?

Because my brain doesn't

And I might as well
round up to 30.

Because?

By then, I should have a
career I'm responsible for.

God willing!

introduce you to drugs?

- Besides you?

Okay.

But I like the wit.

- I don't trust her either.

No, no, no, you stay in this,
because inquiring minds wanna know

if y'all are applying to Howard.

[Dawn] Uh...

We are applying to
Northwestern, early decision,

with the hopes to
walk on to play ball.

sh*t. I'm telling you, let
the kids go to HBCU undergrad

so they can know themselves.

Come grad school, go to
their mama's alma mater

to get the connects and
the networking sh*t.

What the world don't need is
more confused Black folks.

Plus, ain't you tired of white
people? They all dry and sh*t.

That's why we spend all this money
coming up here in the summertime.

[Charlie] Coming up's
cute, not enough.

Trust me, I know. It ain't easy
getting these kids to the dream.

It ain't cheap,
and it ain't easy.

- Dawn. Boo Boo.
- What?

You still sipping on that Kool-Aid
that anything white is right.

[Dawn] You know what?

Anyway. Boo Boo Jr.,
what is the dream?

I'm gonna go to D1 so I
can, uh, go to the NBA.

[Charlie] The NBA?

Okay, I'mma leave that
alone. No, I'm not.

your mama posted on Facebook.

It was cute. Now, I'm not raining
on your parade, but I'm a realist.

on the island.

I heard she went to
prom with the new Kobe.

Literally all our mothers
do is gossip. [laughing]

It was kind of f*cked up.

Kind of.

her blocked, so...

I want you to be my first.

me like a escort.

cousins. What are...

Who could become
kissing cousins.

Okay.

Does this help?

[Shannon laughing]

f*ck.

Okay. [laughs]

- So?
- No, they're nice. They're nice.

- Okay. Don't you wanna touch them?
- They're nice.

Uh...

I mean, don't you want a guy who's
in love with you to touch 'em?

I mean, I love you.
You know that...

but don't girls want the
guy to be in love with them?

Well, ideally, yes. But I'm
also really horny. [laughing]

My dad caught me using my phone
as a vibrator earlier today.

- So, it's pretty f*cking awkward.
- [Justin laughing] Okay, okay.

What? I mean, we've already
seen each other naked.

Dude, we were like four.

Okay, look. We both said that we
don't wanna go to college virgins.

- Yeah?
- [Shannon] I don't know.

I wanna stop thinking about it.

You know, like, I almost did it
with the wrong guy. I didn't.

Thank God. That
would've been bad.

And I just... yeah, I don't want
my first experience to be bad.

Okay, but it would be so
awkward with us though.

Exactly! It would be awkward,
and we would laugh through it.

We would figure it out together.

You know, it just feels
like we should be f*cking.

You're serious.

Yeah.

I feel like with you,
it would be lovely.

At least it would be something
that I would remember forever.

[Jaden, faintly] Justin!

Justin, where you at?

- [Justin laughs]
- Saved by the brother.

We're down here.

[Jaden] Where?

On the beach. Where else...

would we be?

[Jaden] What are you guys
doing down here? Fishing?

Yeah, your brother's
trying to catch some fish.

[Justin] No, no, we're...
we're just chilling.

[Jaden] Do you think you
could take us to Circuit Ave?

- [Justin] Why don't you ask Dad?
- They're all drunk.

And I'm high.

- Well, I guess we're going to Circuit Ave.

[Jaden] Okay, I'm
sorry. Um... Next time.


[Shannon] Man,
that line was long.

I only unblock if they were vulnerable
enough to leave a message and beg.

Or take accountability.

Wait, you can't leave a message
if you have them blocked.

Yeah, you can. That's why it
goes straight to voicemail.

Okay, um...

if she left you a message,

we don't do it.

And if she didn't,

then it's going down tonight.

[laughs] Okay.

Deal?

- Deal.
- Okay.

Okay.

Go to your voicemail
messages. [sighs]

[clears throat]

Scroll all the way
down to the bottom.

You see a blocked folder?

[Justin] Yeah, there is.

Well?

Did she repent?

[Keisha] Hi.

I don't even know
what I'm doing.


It's not like you'll get this.

I just have so much
that I wanna say to you,


and I don't know
where else to put it.


I love you, Justin.

I hate that I didn't even have
a chance to say that to you.


But it's true.

I started watching
Naruto. I'm on episode 27.

Enough to know that makes Naruto lovable
is that his naive butt will never give up.


As of today, I'm Naruto.

Naruto is me. I will
never give up on us.


I wanted you to know that the Anime
Expo is in town on July 4th weekend.


You got me watching
sh*t with subtitles now.


You know those space movies

where the astronauts are all alone,
and they do their daily logs?


That's what this feels like.

Wanted to say happy
birthday, Aries.


It kills me that we aren't
celebrating together.


I can't believe I
hurt you this much.


If you feel worse than I do,

I hope I never make anybody
feel this bad ever again.


I'm so sorry. [sighs]

And I love you. And I'm sorry.

I thought I saw you today.

On the courts in Oak Bluffs.

I feel like Naruto in that
epic battle against Sasuke.


You put up one hell of a fight.

They think they slick.

[Jeanine] Oh, come on, girl, no.

You have been whining for years

about wanting your boys
to have Black girlfriends.

Justin goes and gets him one, and
now you got your lip poked out.

That girl kicked my son to the curb
for some other boy to go to prom with.

[Jeanine] Dawn,
that is high school.

You know how these little teens
be flip-flopping on one another.

- Well, baby, he has flopped back. Okay?

So enjoy your wine

Oh, that sunset.

The sunset was super beautiful.

[gasps] Oh my God. Dawn?

- Joanne! Oh my God!
- [Joanne] Hi!

- Look at you.
- Oh my God.

Eric, do you remember,
uh, Joanne from JTD?

- Good to see you.
- You too.

How are you?

Oh, I'm great, you
know. Can't complain.

Wow! Oh my God.

- Is this Justin?
- [Dawn] Oh... It is!

Justin, this is Mrs. Crawford. You
went to JTD with her son, Zack.

- Hi, nice to meet you. Good to see you.
- [Joanne] Good to see you!

And this is Keisha Clark.
She was in their class too.

[Joanne] Oh, Keish...

[gasps] Keisha! Oh, wow!

I didn't even recognize you.
Everyone has gotten so big.

[Dawn] Yeah, I know.

Babe, we about to forge ahead.

[Dawn] Okay. I'll
be right there.

[Joanne] Oh, it was good
to see you. Take care now.

[Eric] Nice to see you too.

Oh, well, you look great.

Oh. Girl, thank you.

It's hard with all these pies, pastries,
lobster rolls, and cookies on the island.

- [laughing] Oh God, don't I know it.
- [Dawn laughs]

Oh my... I can't get
over Justin though.

He's so handsome.

- Thank you. I wish he'd get a haircut.
- [laughs] Aww.

It's so good to see that
Keisha's doing better.

So happy that she's finally
gotten her life back on track.

Back on track?

Yeah, after, you know, her whole
sex-video scandal at Brookwood.

Zack goes there, and he said it got
pretty bad for her when it leaked.

And it's so good to see that she
came out on the other side of it.

[voice fading] Anyway, did you
know that Mrs. Foudi’s retiring?

Apparently, there’s gonna be a big
celebration at the end of the year...
