Your grades are slipping.
Scott:
I just have a lot going on.
Diana blackmailed me into being her friend again.
My parents won't stop fighting.
- I'm worried that Scott will find out-- - Whoa. Whoa.
Give Jenna some space. Then maybe she'll come around.
Miss Dawson:
I was the problem.
Do you think Sam would wanna work on some music with me?
I work really hard for my good grades.
Now people are getting them for free.
- Not everyone got an A. - What?
Once again, we can thank our good fortunes to Finch.
You had your chance and made choices.
Now fly away and never come back.
You can trust me. No matter what.
( music playing )
All quiet today,
but I know evil forces never sleep,
and when they strike we must be ready.
To keep hope alive, evil at bay,
this is the pledge of a superhero.
It's the X-Ray Kid,
a genius who can see inside your heart and soul.
No one quite knows if he is good or evil.
Best to avoid him for now.
Hey, Jenna.
If I didn't think twice, it would seem like you're avoiding me.
Yeah, definitely not doing that.
Look, I know you're going through some serious stuff,
- but you don't have to ignore me. - How did you know?
Pretty sure some of your friends
- are a little worried about you, too. - Yeah.
Maybe we could hang out tonight?
Um, sure.
Great.
I have to go to class now.
Okay. I--
( music playing )
Mr. Lane on PA:
Specifically, Mr. Lane's office.
I haven't even gotten to my locker yet.
You can go to your locker after we chat.
Pay no attention to the man behind the microphone.
Uh, except when you're meeting with him.
Pay attention... to... him... then.
( music playing )
Hey, how are you?
I've been better.
I forgot to put on deodorant.
I've been there.
I forgot to set my alarm
and then I didn't have time to eat breakfast,
so I'm starving.
( mechanical whirring )
Snack pack.
( muttering )
Cool! Oh, my gosh.
- Candy-- - Hey, wait.
- No, no, no. - Come back!
Why am I here?
I haven't been disruptive in class.
Whoa!
Who said anything about disruptive?
Maybe this is about my dating life.
Since when do you have a dating life?
Not saying that.
Not saying not either.
- What is this about? - Well-- ( clears throat )
It's-- it's about the National Honor Society.
I know you're gonna be disappointed,
so I wanted to tell you in person.
Only the top 25 students make the cut,
and I'm afraid you're number 26.
What? Who beat me?
Uh, I'm not really supposed to tell you. Eli.
Yeah, his History grades really picked up this semester,
pushing him over the edge to National Honor.
You've got to be kidding me.
My mom is gonna kill me.
I love our chats.
Excuse me.
Yeah, I forgot to put on deodorant.
What? Gross.
Well, you're obviously here to make fun of me,
so I thought I'd get it over with.
Um, actually, no.
We need to talk about our mutual problem.
Did you forget to put on deodorant, too?
What? No, of course I did.
I'm talking about Miss Dawson.
See, I told you!
We can't talk about this here.
Meet me at the Science classroom at lunch?
Yeah.
Thanks, Snack Pack.
Did you really just pay an extra dollar
to have a backpack bring you chips
instead of walking across the room to get them?
The best way to get a snack is not having to work for them.
So, Luca, do you think there's any way
you could get your cousin to review some of my music?
Hopefully, but it's gotta be really good.
He's not gonna wanna give it a listen if he thinks it's unprofessional.
That's all I want, to be taken seriously.
Yeah, so how about I come over after school and help you produce something?
I just installed some really good programs for my laptop.
Awesome. Let's do it.
Right?
( gasps )
It is still fun to mess with you.
Anyway, I would've suggested we meet after school,
but I have a busy social life.
Did you ask to meet me here just to brag?
We need to take down Miss Dawson.
Since when do you care?
I'm a person who messes with people.
I don't get messed with.
She's giving out good grades like candy
and it's jeopardizing my academic future.
Seriously?
Will you just trust me?
Yeah, 'cause there's so many reasons to trust you.
Normally I'd rat her out to the principal,
but that's Mr. Lane, and I'm pretty sure--
Mr. Lane is dating her.
- Eww, by the way. - Exactly.
He's never trusted me.
And now that he thinks you're all into shoplifting,
- he's never gonna believe us. - That's true.
So what do we do?
Now we find her kryptonite.
Her what?
Her weakness. Everyone has one.
Except you. You have, like, 100.
( music playing )
Earth to Jenna.
School's over. What are you doing here?
I guess I just got distracted.
Something keeping you up at night?
I don't know.
You can tell me, Jenna.
I'm not just a teacher. I can be a confidante.
It's not just my parents.
Things have been weird between me and Scott,
my boyfriend.
You're having second thoughts about dating him?
I shouldn't feel this way.
He's basically the perfect boyfriend.
Tell you what,
let's go grab a coffee at Junior's.
That way we can really talk like friends.
- Yeah, that'd be great. - Let's go.
( music playing )
Are you sure about that?
Yeah?
Ooh!
I might be sick, but I still play a mean game.
- I got destroyed. - Get used to it.
- I have never beaten her. - All right, boys.
Inspiration waits for no one.
Why don't you two get to work on that hit song?
Cool. I'll get you a refill first.
Thanks, Luca.
Luca has turned out to be a very nice guy.
That's to say, I approve of what's going on with you two.
I'm gonna go help clean up.
What did you mean?
Well, Sam, when a boy likes a girl--
No, no. Kate's just hanging out
- with Luca as a favor to-- - Sam.
I've been around for awhile.
That is a bona fide crush.
Oh.
I'm gonna go help them clean up in the kitchen.
Well, now that we've dispensed with the pleasantries,
tell me everything that's going on with you and Scott.
Well, everything was going great for awhile.
Almost too perfect.
And then I started feeling this pressure.
Let me guess. Couldn't live up to his expectations?
Exactly.
So, you started to pull away and he didn't like it.
It's like you can read my mind.
I've been there before.
Go on.
And now with all this going on with my parents,
I'm worried he won't be able to process it
and be mad that I kept it from him.
Hmm.
It's a really tricky spot.
- Maybe I'm overthinking it. - Or maybe you're not.
Trust your instincts.
The more you let him in, the more he can hurt you.
It's sometimes easier to avoid the headache
and the heartache.
So what do I do?
Maybe it's time to stand up for yourself
and break up with Scott.
What? I wasn't saying that.
Trust me, Jenna.
My family had problems, too.
I wish I'd had someone to guide me.
One thing I learned the hard way,
you can't count on anyone in high school.
( music playing )
( music continues )
Oh, my gosh.
- It's sounding so good. - Really?
I mean, I always knew you were good,
but it sounds so good with whatever you did, Luca.
Magic.
So I'll do some cleanup on the drum tracks
and a couple other tweaks,
and we can give it another listen.
All right, sounds great. Thanks, man.
Cool. See you guys tomorrow.
- Hey. - Hey.
I got your text. Is everything okay?
- Finch! - Stop.
Avert your gaze.
I must see what's inside your soul.
Scott, I'm so sorry,
but I'm breaking up with you.
What? Why?
I-- I can't do this anymore.
Please don't do this.
I'm sorry. It's easier this way.
I'm sorry. I gotta go.
Jenna.
( no audible dialogue )
( line ringing )
( phone ringing )
Yes, Diana?
Cassie, I found her kryptonite.
Well, what is it?
It's not a what, it's a who.
Her weakness is Jenna.
Jenna? But why?
You and I can figure it out.
- Okay, well, bye. - Wait, wait, wait.
Did you know astronauts grow two inches taller in space?
- And? - I just thought it was cool.
It kind of is.
- Good night, Cassie. - Good night.
( music playing )
Next time on "Total Eclipse"...
So glad you could join us.
I don't know who died and made you queen,
but I can be in this group and the experimental film club.
- I know you're into my sister. - You don't even know me.
