-
Ugh, and that was the last egg.
- Are you okay with cereal? - I'm not hungry.
Oh, Fiona. Is your room clean?
- Umm.... - ( dog barking )
Fiona, have you forgotten that your grandmother's coming tomorrow?
- I want her room to be nice. - You mean my room.
- We went over this already, Fiona. - ( barking continues )
Your grandmother's coming on Thursday,
I wanted the room clean by Wednesday,
and you promised to be a good sport.
You must have caught me on an off day.
Oh, I'm waiting for an on day.
Besides, the basement ain't so bad.
You can have all the privacy you want.
And you can play your music as loud as you like--
- Wow. Thanks, Mom. - Man: Buffy, stop it!
- ( dog barks ) - Look, I'm working a double shift tonight,
so please, please, please have your room clean by tonight.
Tonight's my concert.
- That noise? - It's not noise,
it's the best music in the world,
or at least in Millwood.
Well, who bought the tickets?
You haven't been babysitting much lately.
I won them on an Instagram caption contest.
I already promised AJ.
Oh, wait. AJ? Really?
Yeah, he likes them as much as I do.
Oh, it's just you haven't mentioned him
a lot lately, that's all.
He's still my best friend, Mom.
Okay.
As long as you promise
to come straight home after school
and your room is spotless by the time you leave.
Sure.
Oh, wait. Aren't you forgetting something?
- Since you skipped breakfast. - Thanks.
Love you.

- ( bell ringing ) - Man:
Don't forget, today is the last day to buy your Fling Spring--
-
And scoliosis checkups
with Nurse Nancy later today as well.
Shoot! Oh, man, I am so sorry.
Why are you having a cup of sugar for breakfast?
3.14159.
3.14159. 3--
Fiona, did you do the extra credit?
- Uh... - Fiona.
Calvin, what do you care if I get the extra credit or not?
Remember when you said, "Calvin, don't let me fail Physics"?
We were supposed to memorize pi
for the extra credit that you need badly.
Okay, so I have one minute till class starts.
I can do this.
Oh, it's "pi" without an "e".
Oh, okay.
Um, 3.1415--
Are these Yungblud tickets?
Yes. Stop interrupting me.
They've been sold out for months. How did you get those?
I won them.
3.14159.
You know, I'm not really one for concerts.
Nobody knows how to dance anymore,
but I do love Yungblud,
just in case you're looking for someone.
- ( bell ringing ) - Oh, yeah, that sucks.
I already invited someone else,
so maybe next time, okay?
Girl: And then he just called me out of nowhere.
- And? - And he asked if I was going to the dance with anyone.
- And? - And I said yes.
- Oh, my-- - You're going to be so cute at the Spring Fling.
What time should we get there?
- 8. - Make it 8:15.
Both: Fashionably late!
I still can't believe he asked me.
- You're pathetic. - Excuse me?
You heard me. It's pathetic how boy crazy y'all are.
What's pathetic is that no one asked you to the Spring Fling.
Lottie, just because Fiona's being cruel
doesn't mean you have to return the favor.
You don't need a date to go to the dance. Everyone's welcome.
Well, when you say it like that, it sounds so fun.
But I have plans.
All right, children, sorry I'm late.
I was on the phone with my mother.
Our usual midweek check-in.
Talk about a cracked nut.
But as Einstein would say, it's all relative.
Her mother? She must be as old as Albert Einstein.
Boys! Eyes up here.
Or did you forget the cardinal rule of physics?
- Class? Every action has an opposite... - ( students murmuring )
- Has an opposite-- - Reaction.
- An opposite-- - It's got the equal fraction.
Which reminds me of last week's pop quiz.
I took the trouble of grading them for you.
So if your action was to not study and interrupt class,
then your reaction is a failing grade.
Okay, so if you want to do better...
- ( voice fading ) -
( bell ringing )
Fiona, can I have a word?
I'm very concerned with your performance lately.
- Well, ask easier questions. - Fiona, I'm confused.
You seem to enjoy physics.
You certainly have a knack for it.
- Thanks? - But this latest test score! You don't apply yourself.
And last week's demonstration on Newton's laws of motion?
Okay, but I wasn't wrong.
If you pour water out of a goldfish's bowl,
the object in motion will not stay in motion.
Fiona, you're not hitting your potential. I'm concerned.
Okay. Thank you for the pep talk, Miss Lansing,
but I have to go.
My phone!
- Fiona, I saved you a seat. - Thank you.
Watch my stuff, okay?
- AJ. - Fiona. Hey.
Did you get my text last night?
I was probably studying for that extra credit.
3.14159.
But more importantly,
you, me, Yungblud-- tonight.
Oh, man. Fiona--
Yeah, I know. They've been sold out for months.
Tonight's the Spring Fling.
- And? - And it's for charity.
- So donate your allowance. - I already asked--
AJ, since when do you care
more about school dances than Yungblud?
Look, I'm going with someone, Fiona, to the dance tonight.
Becky has muffins. I got you one.
Jane? You asked Jane to the dance?
I'm really sorry.
I wish I could have been there tonight.
My office.
What is she doing here?
Gertie spent the past week
making signs for the Spring Fling.
- And you ruined them. - No, I didn't.
- I literally saw you. - You're a pathological liar.
All right, girls, that's enough.
Fiona, empty your pockets.
No. Because you don't have a search warrant,
and by law, I can refuse, so I'm going to.
Good.
Gertie, you can go.
Snake.
Those posters are school property, Fiona,
and Gertie worked hard on them.
So I'll see you here today at 3 for detention, okay?
Oh, okay. Actually, you see, I can't do that,
because I have a lot going on in my own life
and I promised my mom I would go home and clean my room.
So, yeah, I can't do that.
Cool.
I'm sorry, you were sniffing my marker
and I didn't know if was supposed to leave.
3:00.
Thank you.
( music playing )
- Fifi. - Hey.
You okay?
Just another day in paradise.
You forgot this at lunch.
Oh, thanks.
Hey, um, you should go see Yungblud tonight.
Don't you need one?
Nah. I decided I'm not going to go.
Actually, I'm going to go to the Spring Fling,
and since you're not going to the concert,
maybe you could be my date?
Oh, Calvin, you have to be joking.
- No. - Um, no, I wasn't.
But now you made me feel like I should be embarrassed.
Girl: Oh, my God, yes.
- Yes? Yes. - Yes, yes.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God.
Picture! Picture!
3, 2, 1, cheese!
- So cute! - Oh, thank God, you guys!
This is so cute. Oh, my God, this is so cute.
You guys are so cute.
You guys are so cute, oh, my God.
( whispering )
Hey, shut up.
( clock ticking )
( ticking )
Well, that's it for today.
Maybe tomorrow you can stay out of trouble.
( ticking rapidly )
( ticking intensifies )
Shut up!
( clock ticks )
Uh...
Mom, I can explain.
I-- I know you're mad
I didn't get home in time to clean my room,
but it's because I got detention,
and I promise it won't go on my record.
You knew that I had to work a double shift.
You knew I needed you to clean your room.
You knew I was counting on you.
I-- I'm sorry.
- Just forget it. - What am I supposed to do?
What you could have done was just clean your room.
You could have left the posters on the school wall.
You could have pretended to care about somebody else other than yourself.
- I just-- - Go to your room,
'cause it's all yours tonight.

Oh, shoot!
You're going to crack the whole coop, Mom.
- It's just one egg. - ( dog barking )
Plus the one yesterday.
What?
Where's Grandma?
( barking continues )
In Florida.
Wait, but I thought--
( barking continues )
Did you do laundry?
No. Fiona, I asked you to do that,
like I asked you to clean your room.
I know you're not happy about staying in the basement,
but you can play your music as loud as you like.
