OLIVIA: Hey, Ethan, you know where everything is
to make yourself dinner, right?
ETHAN: Yeah, I think so.
OLIVIA: OK.
If you need anything, you know where I'll be.
ETHAN: I'll probably burn it.
I always do, even though I'm not going to cook it.
Moriah and I have a wedding in San Francisco this weekend,
and I know there's a chance she still can't go.
I have to think how I want to do this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So I bought tickets for her really last-minute,
and I booked her hotel.
But Kim told me, I don't know that Moriah will go with you.
It depends on if she gets X, X, X, X, X done.
And it was a really, really long list that Moriah was like,
that's not possible.
So, like, the whole past month Moriah
and I've been working on it.
And I've just said, like, hey, how are you on the list?
Are you almost done?
And, like, making sure it's on top of it.
All right, I have a card in here now.
This sandwich tastes almost like it's so good, you made it.
Really?
ETHAN: Uh-huh.
I think Olivia is a good influence on Moriah.
Moriah feels like she's just stuck at the farm
and isolated because growing up, my parents were pretty strict
on a lot of things--
computers, cell phones, even just socializing.
We didn't really have very many friends growing up.
So I do feel a responsibility there to do
whatever I can do to help her.
So this card's importing.
As soon as I have all those backup files--
Because I am more liberal than Barry and Kim
and I do have a completely different life,
me taking her on a trip like this is a really big thing.
And we're spending all that time together,
and traveling together, and it's going
to strengthen our friendship.
Like, there's no other way around it.
And I don't think that's welcome at this point.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What things do I need you to do?
I don't think anything.
I like to have a list to do.
I know as of now that there is a rift in the relationship
between my parents and Olivia, because Olivia's introduced
a different way of thinking and a different way
of life to not only me, but also to my parents.
It's been a little tough at times, quite tough sometimes.
But I have just accepted that this is where we are right now,
and some things just need time.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Is she really doing schoolwork or is that
just going through the motions?
Mom doesn't believe that I can get all my school done
and go to San Francisco.
It definitely drives me crazy when she says stuff like that.
I wish my Mom would think more positively of me,
but I try not to let it bother me.
She has no idea how hard I've worked.
And she might not be happy, but she will find out.
Hey, Mom?
Yeah?
You can check my school.
I'm done.
You're done?
I'm done all the way.
You finished all of it?
You don't believe me?
What?
No, I believe you.
I'm just-- I'm just amazed, because the last time
I checked, you still had, like, a lot.
Well, check it, yeah.
You're done for what?
I'm done with all the stuff that Mom
gave me before California.
So you got your last three tests, you got 100, 95, and 93.
Wow.
Yep.
I'm proud of you.
This is a big deal.
So that means you're going.
I'm all the way done and I'm going for sure.
Yeah.
Wow.
First time to California.
So I'm going.
I'm so glad.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you really going?
Yeah.
Are you happy for me?
Yeah.
I'm going to go to California, and I won't like you there.
Someday-- someday you'll have to come back with me.
I'm going to have all the new experiences I can have,
all the thrills I can have, do everything.
I know you worked really hard, but I just
want you to understand that I'm putting a lot of trust in you
for this trip.
For safety reasons, yeah, I was not thrilled that she's
going to San Francisco.
But it's always been Moriah's dream to go to California.
So for that, I was happy for her.
You know, going with Olivia, going off by yourself,
flying by yourself, you know, stay with Olivia.
Don't go off on your own somewhere.
Just stay with her.
Trust me, I'll keep all my stuff on me and I'll do good.
Yeah.
So I'll be safe.
Yeah, I know.
There's any number of things that could happen, like,
being in a crowded area and having somebody
there with bad intentions that takes
advantage of the situation.
I'll come home eventually.
[LAUGHTER]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You don't know what this means to me.
Like, it just shows that you do trust me a little bit.
Yeah.
MORIAH: A little bit.
A little bit.
A little.
You know how much that is, but--
Well, I would say sending you off to San Francisco,
that's, like, about as far across the country--
And it also shows that you trust
Olivia some too, which is also, I
know that'll mean a lot to her.
Yeah.
As Moriah's helping Olivia with all these photography things,
and--
and just spending time with her, I worry that that, you know,
can make Moriah and I's relationship even worse.
And I just want Olivia to not spread her bad thoughts
about me to Moriah.
But I also don't feel like there is anything I
can do about it at this point.
So thanks a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
But just the fact that Mom's trusting Olivia
with me, that's pretty cool.
And thank you for getting all your schoolwork done.
My pleasure.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
I'm going to go call Olivia.
OK.
