(upbeat music)
- I see they've really stuck
with the more relatable direction you helped them land on.
I can't say it's necessarily my taste,
but as you know, my taste is fairly high brow
for a girl my age.
Like I always say, age is just a number.
Ooh, I do like that dress though.
- Can you keep it down please?
- Can you chill out? - That's exactly
what I'm trying to do.
This is the only day that I have to myself
without Astrid or boy drama or friend drama,
so just shh.

- My son.
Be attentive to my wisdom.
Incline your ear to my understanding.
That you may keep discretion
and your lips may guard knowledge.
For the lips of an adulterous woman--
- Hey. - Drips behind me.
- I'm really glad you made it.
- It's not like I have anything better to do.
- But in the end, she is bitter as gall.
- Where's Luna?
- She bailed last minute.
- I'm sure her dad is thrilled with that.
- (laughs) Yeah.
Reverend Dave isn't too pleased.
- Shh. (bright church music)
(upbeat music)
- Now, I don't usually take days off,
but it being Sunday and the Crown Light Car Show,
I give myself a free pass, here you go.
There's a little something extra inside your paychecks.
- Thank you, Junior. - Don't go spendin' it all
on one place, and
don't forget to lock up.
- Have fun at the car show. - I plan to.
All right, I'm trustin' both of ya.
(upbeat music)
- So what are you gonna spend it on?
- There's this leather jacket at Vanilla and Sage,
yeah, I've been savin' up and it'll finally be mine.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
(mysterious music)
- Well, well, well.
Look what the cat dragged in.
- Hey, Johnny.
Did my cousin tell you I was coming?
- You know, River said that you'd be crashing with us,
but he didn't give me any details.
- Well, my girlfriend kicked me out of her house.
I just need some time to figure things out.
- Sorry to hear that, man.
Feel free, make yourself at home.

I've missed you so!
You've grown so much, I can't believe it (laughs).
And so have you (laughs)!
Ooh.
Is your mom here?
- No, she's running errands.
- Good.
And Astrid? - She's working.
She has a job at Junior's.
- Oh.
Busy bee, huh?
Well, this is why she hasn't been
answering my calls or texts (clears throat).
Show me to the direction of the powder room.
(Colleen speaks in foreign language)
I have to freshen up.
(mysterious music)
(Astrid laughs) - What?
- I was just thinking about that story
at the open mic last night.
About the guy? - The guy who stored stuff
in his beard? - Yeah (laughs).
- I was thinking the same thing when that guy walked up.
(Astrid laughs) (bright music)
- I had such a great time last night.
- Same.

Get your head in the game. - Sorry.
So you guys just do whatever you want whenever you want?
- I mean, basically.
I mean, it's pretty chill here.
Just do your own dishes and do mine
and stay on top of your crap and we'll be cool.
- Gotcha. (somber music)
- So what are you gonna do during your two week suspension?
- I don't know.
- You want some advice?
- Sure.
- Get better at this game, you suck (chuckles).
(bright music) (girl sobs)
- Hey, what's wrong?
(gasps) What did you do to yourself?
- I don't know (sobs)!
- It's okay.
Okay, first thing's first, let's put down the scissors.
Okay.
We can fix this!
We can fix this.
I hope.
Oh my god, okay. (girl sobs)
It's okay.
- I'm just so glad Astrid has a role model like you.
So focused and driven.
And so well behaved.
You remind me of myself when I was your age.
- Oh, I do?
- Yes (laughs).
I loved writing!
I wanted to be a poet.
But your grandmother wouldn't let me.
So I moved to New York,
and I met this wonderful artist mentor.
And I moved to Paris
and Berlin.
- Wow.
Your life seems pretty great.
- (laughs) It was, sweetie.
It really, really was.
But enough of my ramblings.
Shall we go to Junior's to surprise Astrid?
- Yeah, I can text her and let her know.
- (scoffs) It'll be more fun if we surprise her.
(whimsical music)
(bright church music)
- [Boy] So.
Not too much God stuff?
- It's kind of nice.
To have an idea of something to believe in.
- Right?
Yeah.
And when things start to get really bad,
like injuries, break-ups, losing people,
it's really easy to just give it up.
Maybe even think is this even worth it?
I don't know, maybe
if there is something bigger out there,
at the end of it all, it'll be okay, right?
Hey.
Hey, what's wrong?
I know we didn't really hang out much before this semester,
but things just kinda seem off with you.
- I haven't really talked about it with anybody.
- Well, hey, if you don't wanna talk about it--
- No, I do, I do, I just...
I haven't really found the right person to turn to.
(bright music)
- I'm all ears.
- Ever since the accident, I thought everything was okay,
and I just kept having these nightmares,
I just can't find a way to make it stop.
- Hey.
It's okay.
(bright music)
(phone vibrates)
(door bells ring) (whimsical music)
- Hey, Rhyme! - Hey.
Is Astrid here?
This is her mom, Colleen.
- Actually, she just went on break.
- Aren't you a handsome boy?
I bet Astrid has a big crush on you.
(whimsical music)
So have you liked working with my daughter?
- Yeah.
She's great. (Colleen laughs)
- Well, be careful, I just wouldn't wanna see a sweet boy
like yourself getting hurt.
- You know what, Aunt Colleen, we can just meet Astrid
back at the house. - (laughs) Nonsense.
She's just on a quick break.
She'll be back any second, right, Wesley?
- It's actually just Wes.
- You two would make an adorable couple, actually.
(whimsical music)
- See.
I fixed it!
Looks good.
Okay.
Now, can you please tell me what's going on?
I know this isn't about Drake.
(somber music)
- You're right.
It's not. - What is it then?

It's just like a stomach thing,

You're super cool and fun to hang out with, but I...
I just don't think that I'm really ready
for a relationship right now.
- Yeah, thanks for being honest.
I think I'm gonna head out early, if you don't mind.

Especially when that kid's so difficult.

if I hadn't had them.
Astrid.
My darling.
- What are you doing here, mom?
- [Colleen] A mom needs a reason to visit her only child?
(Colleen laughs)
- Can I talk to you?
Alone?
Please. (dramatic music)
I'm gonna ask you again.
Why are you here?
- [Colleen] I wanted to see you.

I know why you're here.

- So how was church, did you still get something
out of it without me there? - Why are you asking that?
- I wanted to talk to you.
- [Girl] Oh, now you wanna talk to me.
- Relationships are built on the foundation of trust.
Without trust, we have nothing.
