03x06 - Wide Open Spaces

[bunniefuu]

[tense, dreamy music playing]

Looks like one of your rodeo crew
managed to avoid getting caught.

Like, where did Wylder go?

[Alex] I don't know.

After tonight, I don't think
I'll have much of a rodeo crew.

[Cole] Hmm.

I should have never invited them. [sighs]

Well, you wouldn't have invited them
if I hadn't thrown a party.

No, that's not right.

I should've known
somebody was gonna call the police.

Now we're all gonna have records.

No one's getting charged, Jackie.
It's gonna be okay.

Not when your parents
and Uncle Richard find out.

But he's in Denver, right?
So we'll clean it up before he gets back.

[police radio chattering]

You know what was pretty great, though?

Grace's dance moves.

[Alex and Jackie laugh]

Stop.

God, I've never seen her move like that.

[Cole chuckles]

I've never seen anybody move like that.

[all chuckle]

Guys, stop, okay.

[Alex chuckles]

Maybe it was a little worth it.

Hi, Uncle Richard.

[somber music playing]

[George sighs]

[music fades]

Sorry, I told Benny
to clean this up a million times.

It's fine.

Guys, can you please
just go to your rooms?

We'll talk to you about this later.

[footsteps retreating]

-How did you let this happen?
-What do you mean, let this happen?

Did you even know
where your kids were tonight?

We knew they were with their friends.

We just don't put
tracking devices on them.

Oh, so no.

You just let them run wild.
No discipline, no structure.

Hey, Richard, they're teenagers. Right?

They had access to an empty house
over the weekend.

And they decided to throw a party.
It happens.

So you're okay with it? Underage drinking?

A… a brawl? Getting arrested?

Of course we're not okay with it.
There's gonna be serious consequences.

-We're gonna ground them all for a week.
-Oh my God.

That's… that's your definition of serious?

A week of Jackie staying home
with her boyfriend?

Do you have a better idea?

Yeah. She stays with me
while she's grounded.

Okay, kicking her out
of the house is… is a little extreme.

Yes, I agree, but Richard has a point.

I mean, the two of them staying here alone
isn't exactly punishment.

[Richard] In New York,
she was going to the theater, museums,

volunteering.

Now she's drinking and getting arrested.

I'm gonna go tell her she's got to pack.

[Richard sighs]

Look, I know you're upset,
but you've got to cut Jackie some slack.

Angelica knew she needed structure.

She didn't want her to have
a free-range lifestyle.

No, Richard.

She wanted her to have a family.

I'll be in the car.

[door opens, closes]

[whispers] Hey.

You're not supposed to be in here.

Oh.

Uh, why are you packing?

Your dad told me
that I'm spending the week at my uncle's.

It's like an extra layer of grounding
they came up with just for me.

What, you're staying all week?

That's what they said.

Yeah, I know.
Your… your uncle seemed pretty mad.

He'll calm down in a day or two.

He'll see how sorry we are,

and I'll clean up his place.

I wish you'd come
to the banquet with me, though.

Well, maybe by tomorrow my mom and dad
will have chilled out a bit.

Who knows?

[car horn honks]

I gotta go. He's waiting.

All right. Let me help you
take your stuff down. [grunts]

That's probably not a good idea.

[somber music playing]

I'll see you at school.

I am so sorry.

-I'll wax it.
-You can't wax out a crack.

Okay, maybe there's a tutorial online
that'll show me how to fix it.

I'll deal with it in the morning.

Right.

I'll just go to my room.

Jackie,

I'm really disappointed in you.

Cole and Alex acting this way,
that's… that's up to them. But you?

I expect better of you.

As a Howard.

As a Ruiz.

Now get some sleep.
You've been up all night.

[somber music playing]

[music fades]

[sighs] God dammit.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to wake you.

[Danny sighs]

I was already awake.

[grunts]

What're you doing up this early?

Trying to find a table to replace
the one that got wrecked at the party.

But it looks like
I'm gonna have to save up every paycheck

for the rest of the year.

Why are you awake?

Oh, it's, uh…

it's embarrassing.

You wet the bed or something?

It's worse.

I drunkenly proposed to Erin

because I didn't get into
the school I wanted.

[sighs]

I'm sorry, dude. That… that sucks

about…

about Juilliard and…

Do you wanna talk about it?

No.

Hey, everybody does dumb stuff
when they're drunk, right?

And… don't worry about Erin.

She's, uh… she'll let you down easy.

[clears throat]

Sh… she said yes?

Look, I… I don't know what to do.

We've been texting this morning.

She hasn't brought it up.

Well, have you?

What do you think?

[chuckles] I mean,

I didn't think that I'd be preparing
another wedding speech so soon, so…

Okay, seriously, man. I…

I just need some advice.

Danny,

it's Erin.

Yeah, I know.

So what do I keep telling you?
Talk to her.

She's gonna tell you how she feels.

[Danny sighs]

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

[Jackie] Okay.

I'm all set and ready to go. [sighs]

Jackie, I'm gonna need your phone.

-Why?
-Why?

'Cause I need to track your location.

I wanna know where you are
and who you're with at all times,

just in case you decide to skip school

or go to another party or worse.

I'm not gonna skip school.

And I am definitely
not gonna go to another party.

Well, unfortunately, I can't take
your word for that anymore now, can I?

[Jackie scoffs]

You know, the Walters would never do this.

I'm not a Walter. What's the code?



-[gentle music playing]
-Their birthdays.

Yeah.

On a more positive note,

I spoke to a college application coach.

She gets people into Harvard,
Yale… Princeton.

-Convinced her to come to the banquet.
-Really?

She only has a couple spots,
so you have to fill out an application,

do a portfolio,
and then blow her away at the banquet.

Easy. I can do that.

Great. I'm gonna need everything
by midafternoon tomorrow.

What? No, that's not enough time.

Between everything I have to do
for the community space.

-Then my sociology essay.
-Make the time.

-[door opens]
-The old Jackie Howard would.

Sorry I'm late. There was
a lot of rescheduling I had to do

since we cut Denver short and, um…

Never mind.

Eliot, I'm glad you're here.

Can you help Jackie prep
for meeting Martina Alvarez?

I can handle it.
I don't need to take up Eliot's time.

No, it's already in my calendar.
Seriously, I'm… I'm happy to help.

Great. So it's settled.
I'll drive you to school.

-I have my own car.
-Not today.

No driving until I can trust you again.

[somber music playing]

[door opens]

[Jackie sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey, you're running late.

I'm cutting it close.

-There's a difference.
-Oh.

Um… so, Mom.

I know that I'm grounded.

Yes.

But is there any way that I could go
to the banquet tomorrow with Jackie?

[George scoffs]

It… it would mean a lot to her
if I was there.

And I think maybe it could really help
with everything with Richard and…

Okay, so hang on,
let me just get this straight.

Um, after throwing a party
with underage drinking,

where you damaged property
and you got arrested,

you want to go to another party?

We didn't get arrested.

I mean, a banquet
isn't really a party, is it?

-It's not happening, Cole.
-But what if…

It is so not happening.

[phone ringing]

Hey, you heard your mother.

Hello?

-[woman] Hi, is this Katherine Walter?
-Yes, speaking.

This is Shannon with The Fence and Post.

I wanted to speak with you
about a referral.

A referral?

[Shannon] For a Hannah Walter.

She applied to be a sommelier

and mentioned you used her services
during a wedding.

I'm so sorry, I think there must be
some sort of confusion.

Hannah's not a sommelier.

-[Shannon] Oh. She isn’t?
-[mouthing]

No.

But I can say that Hannah is
a wonderfully creative person,

which might have
something to do with the sommelier-ing.

Thanks. I appreciate your honesty.

You're welcome.

[sighs]

Hannah?

-Oh, hey!
-[Katherine] Hey.

Um, do you want some tea?

I got this amazing yerba maté
when I was down in Argentina.

Oh, no, no, no, I'm fine, thanks.

Did you by any chance put me down
as a referral for a sommelier job?

Yes! Did… did they call?

That… Wow, that was quick.

I'm sorry.
I… I couldn't recommend you, Hannah.

I can't lie. People around here trust me.

Right.

Yeah, okay, um…

Then you might also be getting calls
about an IT technician and a paralegal.

[chuckles]

Do you have any qualifications
for those jobs?

[Hannah] Well, I mean… I mean, I…

I mean, I drink a lot of wine. [chuckles]

And, um, you know, I had to, um…
I had to put the solar panels on the van,

and then I did all of the paperwork
for my Etsy store.

And I can, you know… I can learn.

[sighs]

I really shouldn't have put you
in that position

without talking to you first.
And I was going to, and then it's like…

[sighs] I'm sorry, Katherine.

It's okay, I understand.

I just really…
I want a place for me and my boys.

-Hmm. With a yard. [chuckles]
-[gentle music playing]

But, you know, the only jobs
that I qualify for, they barely cover rent

for a one-bedroom apartment.

And I'm… I mean, I'm used to
not having space, but Lee and Isaac…

-Yeah, I know. It's hard.
-[Hannah sighs]

But I'm gonna think about it.
Somebody's bound to need some help.

Really?

And in the meantime,
we can get you some work experience.

-Thank you.
-[Katherine chuckles]

You like animals, right?

What kind of a monster
doesn't like animals?

Exactly. It's gonna be fun.

[Hannah] Amazing.
Sure you don't want some tea?

-[horse whinnies]
-[music fades]

Look at you two.

Sorry.

Won't happen again.

[Blake] Oh, I know it won't

because you two are going to put
whatever this is behind you.

Channel that energy into your riding.

We have some tough competitions coming up.

And the last thing we need
is more infighting.

Got it?

Got it.

Wylder?

We done here?

Hope so.

[pensive music playing]

[Alex sighs]

Look.

Wylder can be an a*s.
You can't let him get under your skin.

I know I'm not your coach anymore,
but trust me.

This sh*t affects your performance
in the arena.

-You have to find a way to get along.
-I've tried.

Try harder.

[sighs]

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

-Which is fine, but, like…
-[Grace laughs]

Jackie! Oh! I'm so sorry
you got arrested because of my party.

I didn't get arrested.
We just got a warning.

That was lucky.

-Yeah.
-[Skylar] It was a fun party, though.

Half of the football team
said hi to me this morning.

I know.
My mom might've grounded me for life,

but we're now the coolest juniors
in Silver Falls High.

All right? Do you know how long
it's been since I've been cool? Never.

I've never been cool, Jackie.
Hi! So it was totally worth it.

-[laughs]
-Was it?

Yes. What do you mean?
Jackie, because of you,

I totally made out with
a superhot guy at the party.

He was so hot,
and he was a really good kisser.

[Jackie and Grace chuckle]

Hey.

Hey.

Um, I actually wanted to talk to you.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's good.

Totally good. Great.

Really?

People aren't freaking out?

Well, nobody knows.

How do people not know
that Jackie, Cole, and Alex got arrested?

Oh.

Yeah, they…
they weren't actually arrested.

I thought you were talking about…

how I was totally wasted.

Oh, I didn't…

I didn't know you were… wasted.

You don't remember anything?

Um… I remember
having a great night with you.

And I think I remember
Grace dancing at some point. Like, crazy.

Yeah, who knew she could be so fun?

So, when you getting the full sleeve?

Ha ha.

Very funny.

I don't know. I kind of like Betsy's work.

Betsy, huh?

Ow!

Uh, you wouldn't get it.

Rodeo thing.

Yeah. Seems like there's a lot
about your rodeo thing I don't get.

I don't know.

They're some of the only guys I know
that understand riding like I do.

It's hard to explain.
It's like they get me, you know?

Yeah.

Sure seemed like it the other night.

[Alex scoffs]

You know, I could've handled that myself.
I didn't need you to step in.

Oh, so Jackie and I were the problem?

Not your rodeo friends
who tackled you into the dirt?

Okay.

Yeah, no, you're right.
They seem like great dudes.

Yeah, yeah. You know,
I liked it a little better

when you cared less about what I did.

So, uh,

why don't you get off my back? Hmm?

Whatever.

[dog barks]

Okay, so then at the end of the day,

you take all those records
and you print them for the client's files.

And then if any urgent calls come in,

you refer people
to the Aurelita Animal Hospital,

which is right there
on the emergency call sheet.

Perfect.

And, oh, I thought I would add this.

Aw, that's sweet.

I thought it would be nice to have
a little something from the boys here.

[chuckles]

And just, like, thank you, Katherine.

I promise you
that I will not let you down.

Oh, please. You're doing us a favor.
We need the help.

-[phone rings]
-[sighs] Great.

Oh.

[clears throat] Hello,
Silver Falls Veterinary Clinic.

Yes! Let me check.

And that was for Archie the dog?

You do.
You have an appointment today at 4:00 p.m.

Great.

I'll see you then. Bye.

You crushed it.

[Cole] Lunch is almost over.

You should eat.

Thanks.

[phone pings]

I'm doing it.

This is like Richard's third text
in the last hour. [sighs]

He's just worried about you.

Okay, but he's treating me
like I'm some sort of criminal.

It's like if I'm not perfect
all of the time,

then… then he has no idea who I am.

And okay, yeah,
we did trash the place, but…

I think I'm over it.

A wise person once said,

"Nothing is so broken it can't be fixed."

You'll make up.

Honestly,

right now I'm not sure I care if we don't.

No. You don't mean that.

Did you ask your parents
about the banquet?

Yeah.

And it did not… go over well.

That's okay.
You don't want to get into more trouble.

[Tara gasps] Oh.

Yes. This is perfect for you
for the Rotary Banquet. Look at her.

-Yes!
-Whoo!

Yeah. Do you think it has
a matching cowboy hat… ma'am?

[chuckles] Sir.

[Richard chuckles]

[Tara chuckles]

Really glad you're going.

Yeah, it'll be good for Martina
to hear you talk about Jackie.

Yeah. I'm happy to.

But Jackie doesn't need my help.

She's going to need all the help
she can get after being arrested.

Weren't they just given a warning?

I'm not saying that's a good thing,
but it's not going on her record.

[sighs]

Jackie's got a 4.3 GPA.

She's a legacy.
She has great extracurriculars.

And she's a real leader in this community.

She's got a better shot than most
to get into Princeton.

I suppose.

What's this really about?

When I was Jackie's age,
I didn't take anything seriously.

It took me a long time
to get back on track, and

I think that's why Angelica chose
Katherine and George

to be Jackie's guardians.

Oh.

That must've been hard.

It's taken Jackie so much
to stay on track.

I can't…
I… I won't watch her go off the rails now.

I really think it's just a blip.

And… if I may…

You can't hold on to her too tightly.
She's gotta be able to make mistakes.

The most important thing you can do now
is show Jackie how much you care.

[pensive music playing]

You're right.

I know I'm right.

That's why they call me
the parent or guardian whisperer.

[man] Yah! Yah!

[music fades]

[indistinct chatter]

[Wylder grunts]

Hey, Wylder. You okay?

-Your shoulder still messed up?
-I'm fine.

You can't ride like that.

Then you can kiss
that prize money goodbye.

I don't think
your daddy's going to like that.

My dad put me in charge of setting
our lineups because he trusts my judgment.

You're not riding.

Maybe I could give it a try?

-[chuckles]
-No.

Riding a saddle bronc
is tough enough, but bareback?

There are some riders who get thrown
and never ride again.

I can do it.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Wylder sighs]

Put your chaps on.

All right.

This should be interesting.

[music fades]

[Tony whistles]

Fixed her up fast, huh?

Decided to go resto-mod with her
for drag racing.

Hoping the new carburetor will help
once I add the nitrous kit.

You know what, this car might end up
paying for itself. [chuckles]

Well, speaking of pay.

I was wondering if, um…
maybe I could have a few more shifts?

[sighs] Cole, I know you want
to get her going, but I can't.

I just don't have the work.

I'm sorry.

[sighs] It's… it's not about the car. I…

I screwed something up,

and I really need to make it right.

I'll tell you what.

Things pick up,
you'll be the first one I call. Okay?

She looks great. Nice work.

Thanks.

-Interview questions?
-[Eliot] Right.

Uh, here we go.

Um…

What major would you like to pursue?

Politics. That was my father's major
at Princeton, before law school,

and I plan to follow in his footsteps.

-Ask me something harder.
-Okay.

Um…

Did you really get arrested?

No, we didn't get arrested.

[scoffs] Stick to the interview questions.
I don't need you to judge.

[Eliot] Look,
you got these questions down.

And I'm… I'm not judging you.

It was just a party. I think Richard's
going a little bit overboard.

You think?

Jacks, my parents were away
almost every weekend.

And I threw a lot of ragers.

But you never heard about it,
because I never got caught.

[door closes]

You ready, Jackie? [clears throat]

And, you know,
you also don't want to be defined

by just your academic achievements,

but by your extracurriculars as well.

[Jackie] Mm-hmm.

Ready.

Have fun.

You look great.

We could do, uh… veggie hot?

Split it 50-50?

Yeah, sure. I'll share with you.

Don't feel you have to get a veggie hot
just because I asked.

You can get whatever you want.

We should both have an equal say.

So a veggie hot?

Yeah.

[Kylie] Okay.

[sighs] I'm sorry. That was weird.

I'm… I've been weird.

Well--

You know when I said
I didn't remember much about the party?

I lied.

I…

I remembered having
the greatest night with you.

And part of that was…
asking you to marry me.

And you saying yes.

But it was, like, really late
and we'd been drinking,

so I didn't want you to think
that you had to go through--

I don't.

I mean,

I don't feel like I have to say yes.

But my answer is still yes.

-What are you doing?
-Getting our food to go.

We have to make a stop somewhere.
I'll meet you in your car.

[Hannah] Okay. Yes.

-Oh, I'm sorry. We're closed.
-Please help.

Peach Blossom was hit by a car.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. It's…
There's no doctors here right now.

But there is… there's an emergency vet.

-The, um… Aurelita Animal Hospital.
-No, I've been there. They're full.

Um, I just, uh… I can't do this.

But…

Um, you should…
you should go back to the emergency vet.

You know what? It's okay. We're going
to take care of her because, um,

I'm going to call Dr. Walter.

-Okay?
-Thank you.

[Richard] Relax. It's going to be great.

I told her all about you.
It's going to be fantastic. Uh…

Oh, okay.

See that woman with Tara?

That's the application coach,
Martina Alvarez.

Now's the time.

-Now, remember, she knows who you are.
-I know. I got this.

[Richard] Okay.

-Actually, can I talk to her later?
-What?

I've been trying to talk
to the city council about the teen annex.

They haven't gotten back to me,
and they're there.

Jackie, you need to focus on your future.
That's your priority. Uh…

-Martina. Tara.
-Hi.

Hi.

Richard.

It's so nice to see you again.

Uh, this is Jackie.

Your uncle has been raving about you.

-It's nice to finally meet you.
-It's nice to meet you too.

The transition from the Upper West Side
to, uh… here couldn't have been easy.

Well, it wasn't at first, but actually,

Silver Falls is an easy place
to fall in love with.

I mean, they embraced me,

so now I'm trying to give something back.

And I'm actually working on getting
a community space for--

Whoa, Jackie,
Martina's only here for a little while.

Why don't you tell her
about the McKnight Prize you won

at the International Science
and Mathematics Fair in New York?

I don't know
if Martina wants to hear about that,

but if she does,
I will tell her all about it

after I finish telling her
about the community space.

That's Jackie. Modest to a fault.

[Tara chuckles]

I'm not being modest. I'm talking about
what I'm passionate about.

Yeah, well, I think it's best
that we focus on the achievements

that Princeton would care about most.

And when did you become a Princeton
admissions-officer mind reader?

[chuckles] Maybe let's…
let's change the subject.

I'm gonna go grab some canapés
before they're all gone.

Why don't we talk later?

Good idea.

-I'll come and find you.
-Great. Thanks.

I'm gonna… [chuckles]

-Jackie, that's not--
-I'm going to go talk to the city council.

[man] Ladies and gentlemen,

if you could all please take your seats,
we're about to begin.

[sighs]

Hi.

-Uh, her cat was hit by a car.
-Oh, I'm so sorry.

And she tried the emergency clinic,
but they were too busy.

It's okay. You did the right thing.
Let's get you in an exam room.

Okay.

-Really?
-Really.

Okay.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, can I get two slices of pepperoni?

-Um…
-[Kiley] Are you okay?

I, um… I heard about the arrest.

No, we didn't get arrested.
They just put us in a cop car.

Right.

Well, this one is on the house.

-You don't have to do that.
-I do.

After everything.

I'm gonna go sit.

-I'm gonna take my 15.
-Okay.

-You can't avoid me forever.
-I'm not avoiding you.

I've just been busy with rodeo.

Sure.

[wincing] Ah.

-It still hurts a little.
-[Kiley sighs]

-I never thought you would get a tattoo.
-[Alex] Yeah.

I never thought you would set me up
on some stupid blind date.

I know.

I don't even know why
I thought that was a good idea.

Yeah, me neither.

Hey, look, it's all good.

Why do you think I'm here?
I could've gotten food at home.

Just don't ever do
something like that again, okay?

I won't.

I promise.

[classical music playing]

You know, I think it's a very good sign
Martina wants to talk to you again later.

Remember though, she's interested
in colleges, not Silver Falls.

She seemed interested earlier
when I wasn't being interrupted.

Well, I had to step in.

You kept talking about
that… teen hangout place.

That teen hangout place
is part of the community space

that I've been pouring
my heart and soul into

for the past few weeks.

And I'm sure Cole and all your friends
are very excited about that.

So what, now you're mad
that I have friends?

That I'm dating?

-Is that what this is about?
-No.

I'm saying that your future

is so much bigger
than your life here in Silver Falls.

-And you need to remember that.
-How could I forget?

That's all you seem to care about.
Telling Martina all these things I did

back in New York, that was years ago.
That's not who I am now.

Do you know what I had to do

to get one of the best
college application coaches in the country

to come to this flyover town
just to meet you?

This "flyover town" is my home,

and you shouldn't have bothered,

because I don't need
a college application coach.

Yes, you do.
You threw a party and got arrested.

For the last time. I didn't get arrested.

All I did was throw my best friend
a birthday party.

-Keep your voice down.
-Why?

-So you can talk over me again?
-Jackie.

No, just stop.

Just stop acting like my life
in Silver Falls is a waste of time.

I mean, when did you start caring?

The last I checked,
you spent most of last summer in Europe,

and you left me in New York by myself.

That is not fair.

-You know I care about you.
-[Jackie] Yeah.

When I get straight A's and I win awards.

But you don't actually care about me.

I threw one party,
and it got out of hand, sure,

but you're acting like
I'm some sort of "troubled teen."

Like I need you to straighten me out. You!

I mean, my mom didn't even want me
to live with you.

What does that say?

I bet you didn't want to look after me
because you know nothing about me.

I'm, I'm done… staying at your place,

so you can stop pretending
that you're responsible. I'm going home.

Tomorrow.

[country music playing over speakers]

You're not with the guys?

That's why, huh?

No, that's not…

They went to a bar…
and I have school tomorrow.

-Plus, I'm grounded.
-Right.

Forget you're just a kid.

Look, Wylder, I know you're not too happy
about me being at Hartford's.

Well, you sucker punched me.

Yeah, I know.

Sorry.

You have to help me
with my bareback riding.

Do I?

We don't have to like each other,
but we've got to have Blake's back.

And right now,
you're the only way I stand a chance.

Well, you're right about that.

Even with my help, there's no guarantee
that you won't get hurt.

-Badly.
-I know.

Forty.

Forty what?

-40% of your winnings.
-Come on, you can't be serious.

-You know how much Hartford takes.
-All right then.

Twenty.

Twenty-five.

Deal.

You better get some rest tonight.

Tomorrow, your real training starts.

[both laugh]

Okay. Okay, that was…

that was… that was definitely worth
sneaking out for.

-I hope I didn't push it too far for you.
-You're kidding? That was awesome, dude.

[chuckles]

I hope whoever buys it feels the same way.

Wait, what?

I gotta pay for the table
that got messed up at the party.

But… I figured since,

you know, you helped me get her,
we could take her for one last spin.

But you love this car.

I know.

But I…

I gotta sell it.

You know, if I can make things right
with Richard, then

maybe he'll go easier on Jackie.

Well, dude, obvious answer here.

I'll buy it.

What?

-You? You're gonna… you're gonna buy it?
-Yeah.

Just makes sense, right?

I buy it,
and then you can still take it out.

[sighs] God. I mean…

What the hell?

[Dylan chuckles]

[rock music fades in]

Now let's go again.

Come on. [claps]

Round two.

[engine revs]

[Dylan] Whoo!

[music fades]

Hi, Richard.

[sighs] Cole.

Jackie's at school already.

Yeah, no I…

I came to see you.

Twenty-five hundred dollars.

It's the best price I could find
for the, uh… for the table.

So…

I appreciate the offer.

I really do, but… I don't want your money.

Wha… what do you mean?

I wanna… I wanna make things right.

For Jackie.

[Richard] No, I know
you wanna do the right thing.

But from what I've seen,

I can't help but think
that you're a bad influence on Jackie.

What? No, that's…

-That's not…
-You're throwing parties.

Getting drunk and doing
God knows what else in my house.

Before she came here,

Jackie was focused and determined
and had a very bright future.

Now she's jeopardizing all of that.

Jackie would never do that.

Do you know what happened at the banquet?

N… no.

Jackie had a complete meltdown
in front of the application coach

she was trying to impress.
I've never seen her like that.

And now Princeton, her dream,

her future might be on the line

because some boy told her
to let loose and throw a party.

-That's not what happened.
-Cole. Cole. Stop!

I can tell that you care about Jackie

and I know you have been trying
to get your life together.

But Jackie has never acted
this way before…

[somber music playing]

…until she started dating you.

Now… I have a call scheduled.

I have to go.

Have a nice day.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

Hey.

I missed you.

Yeah, me too.

You'll be home soon though, right?

Yeah. Tonight.

I told Richard that he couldn't
make me stay there anymore,

so I'm coming home today, after school.

All right then.

And I've been thinking…

You know that Greece trip
Richard wants me to go on?

I'm not going.

What? [chuckles]

Wha…

I thought that was what you wanted.

You know, to spend time
in the cradle of Western civilization.

I did.

But now I want to do something for myself.

I just, I don't want more pressure,

and I… I don't want to be in…
that box anymore.

["Nauseous" by Conan Gray playing]

So I was thinking,

maybe this summer
I could go on a road trip

with my boyfriend.
