(door thuds)
- Well, I've been in Alpha Sig for 24 hours so far,
I'm still me, and Jada still hasn't called.
- Mm hmm.
- It's kind of dank in here.
Have you moved at all since I left?
What? (suspenseful music)
What are you--?
Dude, what are you doing?!
Why are you stalking Wes's social media?
- Do you mind?
- Yes, I mind!
It looks and smells like Gollum's cave in here.
That's why.
You need to stop.
- Dude, I can't stop.
Okay?
His accounts are private, and it took me all morning
to guess Steve's passwords.
- Stalking your ex's new boo isn't healthy.
You're just torturing yourself.
- I need to understand who he is.
Like, what does he have that I don't?
Other than, like, pretentiously pithy captions
and what, dorky appreciation for sunsets?
- Dude, you're not gonna learn anything real on there.
People's social media don't reflect who they are.
- Yeah, dude.
Who spends their time volunteering
and then bragging about it online?
- Who knows?
Nerds?
Dude, let's go take a walk.
- You know what? You're right.
Wes should be volunteering right now,
we should, uh, go down there and see what he's doing.
- What?
Why would we do that?
- Dude, listen.
I'm not gonna hassle him, all right?
I just want to go...check in on him. For Lily. You know?
So, you in, or what?
- This sounds like a bad idea.
Obviously I'm in!
(suspenseful dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
- Can we go?
We've been here forever,
and when I agreed to this,
you didn't tell me there was gonna be a line.
- Can you just please relax?
We're almost at the front,
and Lady Divine is really popular.
She only does this once a month.
(teen crying)
- You gotta be kidding me.
People are so susceptible to this junk.
- Okay, it's not junk.
Tarot is a very ancient and powerful tool.
- Yeah, that anyone can learn online.
You really believe in this?
- Yes. So, can you please keep it down?
Lady Divine might hear you and curse you,
or kick us out.
- Jada, there's not one bit of data that proves any of this.
It's all random.
- I don't need data.
I just want some advice on Taylor.
- You could ask me.
- I'm not asking you for advice on relationships.
- Wow.
Okay. Rude.
(gentle music)
- Ladies, who's next?
The skeptic or the one with a guilty conscience?
- I'll go.
(gentle music)
(dramatic music)
- Hey, do you have a second to sign this petition?
- Satisfied?
He's just campaigning for Students Against Climate Change.
- Or hitting on anything that passes.
Did you not notice the hot girls he talks to?
Dude, he's shameless,
- Bro, get your eyes checked.
That hot girl has a beard.
(suspenseful music)
(Aidan sighs)
They're really connecting.
He's got a great sales pitch or something.
- Wait, look.
He just pocketed that guy's donation.
That's a felony!
- Dude, he's just making change for the vending machine.
Relax.
(Aidan inhales and exhales loudly)
I feel bad.
I blow right by these people.
It's thankless work, but someone's gotta do it.
- Is there a question you'd like to ask the cards?
- Not really.
Just here out of curiosity, and to support my friend.
No offense.
- No, I'm not offended.
And don't take it personally
that she doesn't confide in you.
For some people, it's easier to be truly seen by a stranger.
- Yeah, I'm sorry if you overheard that.
- What I'm picking up on isn't verbal.
I can sense from your energy that you are conflicted,
and the cards agree.
- Right. The cards.
What are the cards saying about me?
- Well, this has been a difficult period of change for you.
- Yeah, for me and literally every other freshman.
- For you, this change is of the heart.
I see The Lovers reversed.
It's been profoundly destabilizing.
A break up?
- Good guess.
- I sense that you're familiar
with relationship dysfunction.
Maybe your parents?
They're divorced.
- Okay, yeah, but there's like a 50% chance
you could have guessed that correctly.
- But did their divorce coincide with your first love?
The one that ended recently?
- Okay, do you have someone, like, researching me online
or something?
- If that relationship started
while your parents were parting,
it may have allowed you to avoid facing that loss.
And naturally, bad endings bring up old wounds.
- Seriously, how did you know we started dating
after my parents' divorce?
- Ah, the Two of Swords, indecision.
You've been presented with two suitors,
the Hierophant and the Ace of Cups.
You have your choice between the tried and tested,
or a new love that lights you up in a new way.
- Okay, stop.
This is creepy.
How, how are you doing this?
- It's all in the cards.
All I can tell you is
that one of them is the love of your life.
And if you do nothing, you risk losing them both.
(dramatic music)
- Yeah, you're right, man.
We've been here for over an hour
and he's been nothing but friendly and helpful.
- Seriously.
It's kind of inspiring.
- And annoying.
Who's that consistently charming?
- He's got a gift.
He, he makes me want to give back.
- Let's face it, dude, I can't compete with this guy.
He's perfect, and I'm a neurotic stalker.
- Well, at least you know that now, right?
(Aidan chuckles)
You wanna get outta here?
- Yeah, might as well.
- Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
Hello, Mrs. Robinson?
- Now that's intimate body language.
- Yeah, take a photo.
(phone camera clicks)
She totally just gave him a signal.
- Let's go.
(suspenseful dramatic music)
- So, how did it go?
I don't know how, but she's definitely a fraud.
- Wait, was she actually wrong?
- Uh, I just, I can't be here.
There's someone I have to talk to.
- Who?
- I, I don't know yet.
- Okay? Bye.
- Next.
- Are you sure he's in here?
- Shh, come on.
(suspenseful music)
(door clicks)
(Aidan and Taylor shuffling and thudding)
- [Dr. Berlant] Were you sure right now is okay?
You were right in the middle of something.
- [Wes] Don't be silly.
You're always more important.
- Queen of Swords.
You're a very strong, young woman.
Pragmatic, clear headed.
But something has entered your life that threatens
your goals and your suit of arms.
I'm guessing a new romance.
- Yeah. (sighs)
I met someone, and he's funny and sweet,
but not really what I was expecting.
I just don't know what to do.
- Your heart is in conflict with your sense of purpose.
You're afraid that he might be a distraction
from your goals.
- Exactly. (chuckles)
- Well, The Fool is someone exciting.
Somebody that makes you laugh.
He may even be a little bit of a maverick.
- He's definitely a fool. (giggles)
- But, however, The Fool has great intentions.
It could be really good for you.
Stabilizing.
(Jada sighs)
- I was afraid you would say that.
- [Dr. Berlant] Ooh, that's good.
- [Wes] You want me to put it right there?
- [Dr. Berlant] Yes, right there.
Oh, that's perfect.
- [Wes] Okay. Great, great.
- [Dr. Berlant] Oh, wow.
I love that.
- [Wes] Good, good.
I'm trying my best here.
- [Dr. Berlant] Yeah, this feels good.
I, I really like this.
- [Wes] Great.
- [Dr. Berlant] What, what you're, what you're doing--
- [Wes] Yeah, this is, this is all feeling great.
(phone camera clicks) Don't worry.
We'll be quick.
- Wait! Stop! I know what you're doing.
- What the? - Who are you?
Get back I, I've got pepper spray.
- Hi.
We're just touring the facility.
We're actually leaving.
Sorry for the mix up.
- No, don't move.
This isn't the first time I've caught addicts
trying to steal chemicals for amateur labs.
I'm calling 911.
- Dude, I'm too young and cute for prison.
What?
- We're not stealing anything.
- Then what were you doing here?
- We were following you.
We thought you guys were up to something.
- I was just helping Dr. B with her gala presentation.
- Which I'm still late for.
If this is just a personal dispute,
you mind getting it outta my lab?
- We're just gonna- - Yeah, sorry.
- Go. We're leaving. (laughs)
We're leaving.
- [Aidan] Just go.
Just, just go.
(dramatic music)
- Okay. Look, if I give you a big tip,
can you just be real with me?
- I do always appreciate tips.
(Jada sighs)
- Okay. What do I do?
I mean, do I focus on my film major and do the doc?
Or do I focus on this new romance?
He's great, but I know the film would really hurt him.
- Do the film.
- Seriously? (chuckles)
I didn't think you would say that.
- It's the advice I wish I'd had.
Unless you wanna be working for tips,
follow your purpose.
(dramatic music)
- So, do you wanna tell me why you were following me?
- I just wanted to find out who you were.
I was jealous, and, uh, it was a tough semester.
- I get it, man.
Like, when you guys were together,
I was pretty jealous of you, too.
- We're not together.
- Not now.
I meant before.
I mean, I get it was a camp fling and all,
but when you guys started dating,
she completely dropped me.
- Oh.
Okay.
- Aidan? Wes? What are you guys doing?
- Just talking to your new boyfriend.
- He is not my boyfriend.
- I'm not?
- Looks like there's a lot to clarify, Lily.
Okay?
I thought we were gonna be open with each other,
but, turns out, you were dating Wes the summer
before freshman year.
And it's hilarious that you told me it was just a kiss.
And then I have to find out that you're dating him.
Him?
- Hey, man, take it easy.
- Hey, don't, "Hey, man," me.
Go find somewhere else to help out.
- I was in the eighth grade.
It was not dating, dating.
- Now we're officially over, over.
So, let's drop this fake friendship.
Go our separate ways.
Hope you have fun, man.
And hope you two are happy.
- Aidan, wait.
Aidan.
- No, I'm not doing this.
(dramatic music)
- What just happened?
- Where do I start?
I didn't realize your ex was so intense.
- He's not, usually.
We just have a lot of history,
and it's, it's not that simple.
- Well, maybe it can be a hell of a lot simpler.
I mean, why do you need a guy like that in your life?
(Lily sighs)
- He's important to me.
(Wes sighs)
- Well, I guess that's all I needed to know.
Hope you two are happy together.
- Wait!
Wait.
(suspenseful dramatic music)
(Lily exhales)
- [Narrator] Next time on "Together Forever"--
- Billie wants me to read my poem at tonight's open mic.
- If you don't wanna be friends,
can you at least be my lab partner?
- It's kind of hard to focus when you've been messing
with my head all semester.
- You're cute.
Totally his type.
- What the hell are you doing?
That's not your poem.
(dramatic music)
