WHAT'S HER NAME?
JORDAN: UH, IT'S, UH...

JJ: I DIDN'T KNOW
THE LOVELY TESSA

SPENDING THE NIGHT

TESSA: SEVERED HEAD?
JJ: NO, IT'S ACTUALLY
MADE OF PROSCIUTTO,

JUST MOVE THERE.

OK, HOLD ON.

THAT "HOUSE DIVIDED,
NOT FRIENDS" THING?

LOOK, THE HOMECOMING
GAME IS IN A FEW
DAYS, A'IGHT?

UNTIL THEN, I TOLD
HIM TO JUST KEEP
ON HIS SIDE

OF THE HOUSE, AWAY FROM US.
JORDAN: NO, KEEP MY NAME

GUESS YOU'RE PRETTY
CONFIDENT ABOUT TOMORROW'S
SCHOOL BOARD VOTE.

THANKS TO YOU.
I WOULDN'T HAVE GOT
THOSE VOTES

IF I DIDN'T
BRING YOU ON AS DEAN

YEAH. ABOUT THAT,

DID YOU HEAR D'ANGELO'S
MOVING TO OAKLAND?

YEAH. I'M SORRY.

I'M SURE
YOU GUYS'LL FIGURE OUT

THAT LONG-DISTANCE

GRACE: MAYBE.

SO, ARE YOU READY

WITH NO SLEEP?

WAIT. DO YOU THINK
I SHOULD BE WORRIED
ABOUT TOMORROW'S VOTE?

NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE SOUTH CRENSHAW

HALLOWEEN VANDAL.
BILLY: SAY WHAT?

- YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS?
- MM-MMM.

SOMEONE HAS BEEN
VANDALIZING THE SCHOOL
ON HALLOWEEN FOR YEARS.

WAIT. I THOUGHT THAT
WAS JUST LAST YEAR.

THIS IS
AN ANNUAL THING

AND THEY AIN'T CAUGHT HIM YET?
GRACE: COULD BE A HER.

DON'T ASSUME,
BUT IT IS THE JOB

OF THE PRINCIPAL
TO STAND WATCH TO
TRY TO STOP IT.

- THE PRINCIPAL?
- MM-HMM.

HERE, ALONE, AT NIGHT?

- THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENS.
- UNH-UH.

IT IS SCARY HERE AT NIGHT.
DIDN'T YOU HEAR ABOUT

THE LUNCH LADY WHO FELL DOWN
THE STAIRS IN THE FIFTIES?

- I HEARD IT WAS A NURSE.
- THEY SAY SHE BE ROAMING
THE HALLWAYS.

THEN SHE WOULD KNOW
WHO THE VANDAL IS.

ASK HER TONIGHT.

[CHUCKLES]

LOOK, BILLY,

THE SCHOOL BOARD IS
DETERMINING WHETHER

OR NOT TO MAKE YOU
PERMANENT PRINCIPAL.

DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO BLOW THIS OFF
AND LET THE SCHOOL

GET VANDALIZED
THE NIGHT
BEFORE THE VOTE?

[SIGHS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

ASHER: MORNIN', BRO.
JJ: UH, MORNING.

HEY, JAYMEE JUST WENT

I DON'T--HEH!

[SPENCER AND ASHER GRUNT]

WHERE ARE WE

OH, JUST...

ALL RIGHT--NO,
I'LL MOVE, I'LL MOVE.

HEY, JJ, WOULD YOU
MIND TELLING ASH

TO LIFT HIS SIDE UP
A LITTLE MORE, PLEASE?

YOU PLEASE TELL SPENCER
THAT MY SIDE IS RAISED

TO THE APPROPRIATE HEIGHT,
SO MAYBE HE SHOULD JUST
LOWER HIS SIDE?

CHILL, ALL RIGHT?
WE SHOULD REALLY

BE FOCUSING ON
MY BIG PARTY TONIGHT.
SPENCER: UHH!

FORGET IT, AND I'M NOT COMING
TO THAT PARTY, MAN.

I'MMA GO CHILL WITH LIV TONIGHT.
JJ: WHAT? LIV'S COMING
TO THE PARTY.

WILL YOU TELL SPENCER THAT
HE CAN COME TO THE STUPID
PARTY? I WILL SKIP IT.

GREAT.
I'M GLAD THAT'S SETTLED.

OK, WELL, I REALLY NEED
YOU BOTH TO BE HERE.

SORRY.

JJ: OK, GUYS.

WAIT--HEY,

[CELLPHONE RINGTONE]

HELLO.

HELLO?

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

CHRISTEL: HEY.
OLIVIA: HEY.

- I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS.
- OH.

WE HAVE DECIDED TO BUY
SPONSORED AD SPACE

ACROSS ALL SOCIAL MEDIA
FOR YOUR WADE WATERS STORY.

WE'RE GONNA BLAST IT
EVERYWHERE.

NOW ALL WE NEED IS
THE ARTICLE.

THIS IS WHERE YOU
TELL ME WHEN WE'RE
GETTING IT.

I'VE DECIDED...
TO NOT TURN IT IN.

MMM, LIV, YOU KNOW
TODAY'S HALLOWEEN,
NOT APRIL FOOL'S, RIGHT?

YES. IT'S JUST...

THIS ARTICLE HAS

REALLY PUT A STRAIN
ON MY RELATIONSHIP

AND, YOU KNOW,
IF I'M BEING HONEST,

I KINDA JUST LOST
MYSELF WRITING IT.

I MEAN, IT STARTED OUT
AS THIS N.I.L. STORY

AND THEN, YOU KNOW,
NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

I'M INTERVIEWING WADE WATERS'
HIGH SCHOOL PROM DATE.

IT JUST GOT...
TOO PERSONAL,

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE
RELEASING IT WOULD BE...

EXPLOSIVE.

THAT'S THE REASON
WE'RE BUYING
SPONSORED AD SPACE.

NOT SURE
IF YOU'VE HEARD,
BUT IN JOURNALISM,

"EXPLOSIVE"
IS A GOOD THING.

I CAN'T TURN IT IN.
I'M SORRY.

LIV, YOU HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BE

A GREAT JOURNALIST,
AND YOU'RE LETTING

BOYFRIEND DRAMA
GET IN THE WAY OF
AN IMPORTANT STORY?

NO, I STILL WANT TO WRITE
SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

I WANT TO WRITE SOMETHING
THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF.

I--CHRISTEL,

PLEASE, NO.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

JUST...PLEASE DON'T
GIVE UP ON ME, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? FINE.
[SCOFFS]

WE NEED
SOME FILLER SPACE.

WRITE SOMETHING
CLICK-BAITY
ABOUT HALLOWEEN--

500 WORDS, BUT I
NEED IT BY TONIGHT.

YES, DONE.
UM, UH, WHAT ABOUT HALLOWEEN?

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
WRITE ABOUT
YOUR FAVORITE

TRICK-OR-TREAT CANDY
OR SCARY MOVIE.

JUST KEEP IT FUN.

[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT]

AT THAT DEPOSITION,
SHE HAD THIS FOOL
STUTTERING.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
LAYLA: COME IN!

UM, COOP, YOU'RE
REALLY GETTING INTO
THIS LEGAL STUFF.

THAT'S SO EXCITING.
COOP: YEAH, I'M JUST
SOAKING IT ALL IN.

LAYLA: YEAH.

JJ: OK,
THIS IS PERFECT.

HEY, UH,
YOU HERE ALONE?

UH, YES.

THIS IS EVERYTHING
I ENVISIONED

AND SO MUCH MORE.

UH, CAN WE
HELP YOU, BRO?

YES. I NEED TO
BORROW YOUR HOUSE

TONIGHT FOR
THE HALLOWEEN PARTY.

LAYLA: I THOUGHT THAT WAS
AT THE BEACH HOUSE.
JJ: IT WAS,

BUT SPENCER
AND ASHER ARE STILL AT
EACH OTHER'S THROATS,

SO I NEED TO MOVE THE PARTY
TO A NEUTRAL LOCATION.

OH, WELL, LIKE
A SWITZERLAND.

OH, SWITZERLAND
WOULD BE AMAZING,

BUT I WANT TO KEEP IT
LOCAL THIS YEAR.

LAYLA: NO, I MEAN LIKE A SW--
JJ: WHAT DO YOU SAY?
CAN YOU HELP ME OUT?

WELL, WE GOT TO CLEAR IT
WITH LIV FIRST,
BUT IT SOUNDS

LIKE IT'S FOR
A GOOD CAUSE, SO I'M
SURE SHE'LL SAY YES.

SWEET. THANK YOU.

HAVEN'T EVEN FOUND
A COSTUME YET.

OH, UH, NO COSTUMES.

I WILL SUPPLY ALL RELEVANT
APPAREL AND PROPS,

AND I'M DEFINITELY
GONNA ADD THAT PIANO
TO THE REWRITE.

LAYLA: REWRITE?
COOP: WHY DO YOU NEED A PIANO?

LAYLA: AND PROPS?
JJ: OK,

YOU TWO ARE
THE FIRST TO KNOW

THAT TONIGHT'S
HALLOWEEN PARTY IS

A MURDER MYSTERY,

AND EVERYONE'S A SUSPECT,

EXCEPT ME. HEH!

OK.

OLIVIA: WHAT ABOUT CANDY CORN?
COOP: WHAT ABOUT IT?

OLIVIA: IT'S A HALLOWEEN CANDY.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE?

ANYTHING CHOCOLATE.
BUT I KNOW PATIENCE
LOVES THOSE GUMMY WORMS.

YEAH, I NEVER GOT
GUMMY WORMS
TRICK-OR-TREATING.

WHO SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT TRICK-OR-TREATING?

SHE'S LITERALLY WRITING
AN ARTICLE ABOUT
TRICK-OR-TREAT CANDY.

COOP: WHY?
OLIVIA: DON'T ASK.

- OK.
- MAYBE I SHOULD BE WRITING

ABOUT PEOPLE'S LEAST-FAVORITE
HALLOWEEN CANDY.

YEAH. CANDY CORN,
FOR SURE.

YUP, I GOTTA
AGREE WITH COOP.
THAT IS NASTY.

COOP: YEAH.
OLIVIA: OK.

THAT'S GOOD. I'LL DO THAT.
SPENCER: YO.

COOP: YO.
OLIVIA: HEY. MMM.

YOU HATE CANDY CORN, RIGHT?
SPENCER: NO. LOVE IT. WHY?

PATIENCE AND COOP: EW.
OLIVIA: BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

COOP: MMM.
SPENCER: YOU'RE NOT WORKING
ON THE ARTICLE, ARE YOU?

NOT EXACTLY.
[SIGHS]

COME ON, LIV.
IT IS HALLOWEEN.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE HAVING FUN,

AND I GOT SOME IDEAS.

UM, DO THEY KNOW
THAT WE'RE STILL HERE?

NO, AND I'M NOT
WATCHING IT.

PATIENCE: YEAH. DUDE. MOVE.
COOP: DISGUSTING.

SPENCER: WHY YOU HERE?
PATIENCE: NO.

- WHY YOU HERE?
- MOVE!

[CHUCKLES]

I MISSED YOU.

- I CAN TELL.
- MM-HMM.

I MISSED YOU, TOO.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO FINISH THIS.

NAH.

JORDAN: HEY.
LAYLA: HEY, STRANGER.

I, UH, I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE COMING OVER.

YEAH, WELL,
I TEXTED YOU
AND I CALLED YOU,

AND NEITHER
OF THOSE METHODS
WORKED, SO HERE I AM.

YEAH. SORRY.
I'VE JUST BEEN
REALLY BUSY.

YEAH, UM, I GET IT.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,

WE HAVEN'T TALKED
IN A WHILE, AND I
DON'T WANT YOU

SITTING AROUND AND
WALLOWING IN YOUR
BREAKUP WITH SIMONE.

I'M GOOD, LAYLA.
GREAT, ACTUALLY.
UM, NO WALLOWING HERE.

ARE YOU COMING
TO THE PARTY? IT'S, UH,
IT'S AT OUR HOUSE NOW.

I HEARD. YEAH,
I'LL BE THERE, YEAH.

I'LL JUST CATCH UP
WITH YOU THEN.

I WANT TO HEAR
HOW IT'S GOING
WITH THE TEAM.

WELL, I'M STILL RIDING
THE BENCH, SO, UM,

I THINK WE'RE ALL CAUGHT UP.
ANYTHING ELSE?

UH, NO.

NO, NOTHING ELSE.
UM...

OK, I GUESS I'LL JUST

YEAH.

OK. COOL.

BILLY: PREACH!
HA HA! THERE HE IS.

MY MAN. LOOK, I'VE
GOT SOME GOOD NEW--

ACTUALLY--HEH!--
IT'S EXCITING NEWS.

THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT YOU.
PREACH: HMM.

OK, NOW LOOK.
LOOK AT ME.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING
SUCH GREAT WORK

HERE THAT I HAVE
PERSONALLY SELECTED

YOU TO JOIN ME TONIGHT

IN A TIME-HONORED
TRADITION.

[SCOFFS]
MAN, I AIN'T 'BOUT TO
STAND WATCH ALL NIGHT

AND WAIT FOR SOME
HALLOWEEN VANDAL.

- SO YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT.
- MAN, I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

WAIT, WAIT, PREACH.
JUST WAIT. WAIT.

MAN, THIS SCHOOL
IS SCARY AT NIGHT.

AND ON HALLOWEEN?
HELL NO.

I'M NOT ONLY ASKING
YOU AS A COLLEAGUE.

I'M ASKING YOU
AS A FRIEND...

AND I DON'T WANT
TO BE HERE ALONE.

[SIGHS]
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

- PERKS.
- WHAT KIND OF PERKS?

I'M AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL
WITH LIMITED RESOURCES.

I'LL MAKE A LIST.

[CHUCKLING]
YOU'LL MAKE A--OK.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU GO HOME,
MAKE YOUR LIST,

BRING IT
BACK HERE TONIGHT,

AND I PROMISE YOU IT'LL
BE WORTH YOUR WHILE.

ALL RIGHT.

- MY MAN.
- MY MAN.

ASHER: WHAT'S UP, COOP?
COOP: WHAT'S UP, BRO?

THANKS FOR COMING.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU,

UH, SKIPPING OUT ON
THE HALLOWEEN PARTY?

[SIGHS]
LOOK, I CAN'T DEAL
WITH SPENCER RIGHT NOW.

MAN, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM.
BESIDES, AIN'T THIS THING

BETWEEN YOU JUST TILL
AFTER THE HOMECOMING GAME?

I MEAN,
DOESN'T IT MAKE IT WORSE?
I MEAN, COME ON, DUDE.

FRIENDSHIPS,
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE
A ON-AND-OFF SWITCH.

LISTEN, HE DID
THE SAME THING
TO ME, REMEMBER?

AFTER HE GOT SHOT,
I LOST MY BEST FRIEND
FOR A WHILE,

BUT NOW WE CLOSE
AS EVER. YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE WE FAMILY.

CALLING SPENCER
AND I FAMILY IS A BIT
OF A STRETCH, COOP.

HEH! OK, ALL RIGHT.

BUT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN
THERE FOR EACH OTHER

THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES,
AND THAT'S GOTTA COUNT
FOR SOMETHING, DON'T IT?

LOOK, ALL I'M SAYING IS
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD

GIVE UP ON HIM JUST YET,
AND WHILE YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
YOU'RE COMING TO THAT PARTY.

- I'M NOT COMING TO THE PARTY.
- OH, YES, YOU ARE.

IT'S AT THE BAKER HOUSE--
NEUTRAL LOCATION.

- STILL NOT COMING.
- YEAH, OH, I BET
I GET YOU THERE.

JJ IS DOING
A MURDER MYSTERY.

I'M TALKING PROPS,

CLUES, EVERYTHING.

ALL RIGHT, I'M COMING.

COMING TO THE PARTY.
COOP: HA HA!

[JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING]

OH.

UH, MS. KEATING,
THIS IS FOR YOU.

UH, I'M NOT GONNA

IT'S INTEGRAL
TO THE PLOT, SO JUST...

[DOOR OPENS]
JORDAN: HEY, HEY, HEY.

JJ: THERE HE IS.
JORDAN: WHAT'S UP,
Y'ALL? THIS IS--

SPENCER: TESSA.
WE MET THIS MORNING.
WHAT'S UP?

YEAH, HEY, SORRY AGAIN
ABOUT THE SEVERED HEAD.
I JUST...

WHAT SEVERED HEAD?

UM, NO, TESSA'S
MY ROOMMATE.

I'M JOANNA.
JORDAN: THIS IS JOANNA.

JOANNA: WAIT. IS THAT
WHERE TESSA WAS LAST NIGHT?
SHE SLEPT AT YOUR PLACE?

JORDAN: UH, YES.
JOANNA: THEN WHY DID
YOU INVITE ME HERE?

JERK.
JORDAN: IT WAS...

CLASSY.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

J., PLEASE TELL ME

YOU AIN'T THINK
THAT GIRL WAS TESSA.

NO, SEE, I WENT
TO TESSA'S PLACE
TO INVITE HER,

BUT SHE WASN'T HOME,

BUT HER ROOMMATE
WAS, RIGHT?

THAT'S SO MUCH WORSE.

JJ: HEY, IT'S
TIME, EVERYONE.

GATHER ROUND.

OH, IS THE
MURDER MYSTERY THING
STARTING RIGHT NOW?

HA HA HA!
NO, MS. ROBINSON.

IT STARTED THE MOMENT YOU ALL
WALKED INTO THIS HOUSE.

IN FACT,
SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM

HAS ALREADY COMMITTED
A VICIOUS MURDER.

[SINISTER ORGAN MUSIC]
COOP: WELL, IT WASN'T ME.

I'VE BEEN
STANDING RIGHT HERE
THE ENTIRE TIME.

I WAS WITH HER.
I'M COOP'S ALIBI.

OLIVIA: WHO WAS MURDERED?
JJ: TEN YEARS FROM NOW,

BILLIONAIRE,

PHILANTHROPIST,

AND WORLD-RENOWNED
PIANIST

JJ PARKER
WILL BE MURDERED

BY A FORMER FRIEND.

YOU'LL ALL BE PLAYING
YOUR FUTURE SELVES,
WHICH I'VE DETAILED

IN THOSE ENVELOPES WITH BIOS
AND VARIOUS CLUES.

COOP: IS THERE A PRIZE?
JJ: BRAGGING RIGHTS.

SPENCER: WHO YOU PLAYING?
JJ: I'M THE HOST, NARRATOR,

AND GHOST
OF MY FUTURE SELF,

SO, GRAB YOUR ENVELOPES,

MINGLE WITH
YOUR FUTURE SELVES,

AND GO SOLVE MY MURDER.

OH, AND, UH,

JUST A LITTLE TIP FOR
YOUR PERFORMANCES TONIGHT:

LESS...IS MORE.

[CHUCKLES EVILLY]

GOOD LUCK.
YEAH, HEH HEH!

JORDAN: WHAT THE HELL, BRO?

SAYS HERE I'M ON MY 4th DIVORCE

AND I OWN A CAR DEALERSHIP?
JJ: OH, UH, CO-OWN
WITH YOUR DAD.

WHAT, YOU THINK I'M STILL
GONNA BE MOOCHING OFF
MY DAD IN TEN YEARS?

JJ: I WAS JUST
AS SURPRISED AS YOU.
LAYLA: SO I HAVEN'T SEEN

ANY OF YOU GUYS
IN 8 YEARS, BUT I
HAVE 6 GRAMMYS.

JJ: CONGRATULATIONS.
WELL-DESERVED.

THANK YOU?

I WON A PULITZER,
BUT SAME.

IT SAYS THAT I'M
ALSO SUPER-SINGLE

AND ESTRANGED FROM ALL
OF MY OLD FRIENDS,

EVEN YOU, SPENCER.

GUESS WE DON'T
WORK OUT.

AW.

WHOSE FAULT WAS IT?

OLIVIA: REALLY?

IT'S HIS FAULT, RIGHT?
JJ: I BELIEVE IT WAS

A MUTUAL DECISION.
SPENCER: HOLD UP.

YOU MEAN NONE OF US ARE
FRIENDS IN TEN YEARS?
JJ: SUCKS, HUH?

WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE
IN THE NFL.

DO I REALLY HAVE TO
CARRY AROUND THIS GIANT
PENCIL THING ALL NIGHT?

YES. MIGHT BE
THE MURDER WEAPON.
JORDAN: UH,

THIS IS SO STUPID, JJ.
JJ: LOOK, GUYS, COME ON.

SPENCER: YEAH, THIS
AIN'T THE ONE, MAN.
JJ: OK, OK,

HEY, TIMEOUT
FOR ONE SECOND.

HALLOWEEN IS
THE ONE DAY A YEAR

WHERE YOU CAN PRETEND
TO BE SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU WANT US
TO PLAY OURSELVES.

YOU'RE VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE
IN THE FUTURE,

ALL RIGHT?
YOU'VE ALL CHANGED.

JUST GO WITH IT,
PLAY A DIFFERENT VERSION

OF YOURSELVES
FOR ONE NIGHT.

OLIVIA: UH, HEY, I'LL BE BACK.
SPENCER: ALL RIGHT.

WEEKLY MASSAGE?
COME ON, MAN.

HEY, MY CALVES GET
TIGHT IN THE DAY.

UNH-UH.
PICK SOMETHING ELSE.

[SIGHS]
I'LL TAKE THE MINI-FRIDGE.

MINI-FRIDGE?
I DON'T EVEN HAVE
A MINI-FRIDGE.

ALL GOOD.
I'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW, BOSS.

OK, FINE. YOU CAN HAVE
THE MINI-FRIDGE, OK?

ALL RIGHT, SO, UH,

I GUESS YOU CAN TAKE
THE FIRST SHIFT

DOWN BY THE STAIRS.

AIN'T THAT WHERE
THE LIBRARIAN FELL

AND DIED BACK
IN THE FIFTIES?

THINK IT WAS
A LUNCH LADY, RIGHT?

NO, I HEARD PEOPLE
SAY THAT THEY CAN
STILL HEAR

HER SHUSHING SOUNDS
AT NIGHT.

FOR REAL?

MAYBE IT WAS
THE LIBRARIAN.

- SHE MUST HAVE BEEN STRICT.
- HUH.

[DISTANT CREAK]
OK,

DID YOU HEAR THAT?
[CLANK]

NOPE. I DON'T NEED
THAT MINI-FRIDGE.

WAIT. WHAT IS THAT?

WHAT IS THAT?

IS THAT A PERSON?

HEY! HEY!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE SO LATE?

OH, IT'S THE JANITOR.

UH, WE'RE JUST
STANDING WATCH.

SOUTH CRENSHAW
HALLOWEEN VANDAL?

[SCOFFS]

I AIN'T CLEANING UP
AFTER THAT FOOL AGAIN.

LAST YEAR, IT WAS SYRUP
IN THE LOCKERS.

I'M NOT DOING THAT AGAIN.
[MOP SLOSHING]

EW! EW!

THAT IS
THE CREEPIEST THING
I'VE EVER SEEN.

WHAT? IT'S SO DELICIOUS.
THIS IS CRANBERRY BLOOD.

MM-MMM. SO WHAT DOES
THE FUTURE HOLD FOR YOU?

SAYS I'M A JUDGE
IN TEN YEARS.

MMM.
PATIENCE: WELL, MINE SAYS

I LEFT MUSIC BEHIND
AND I BECAME AN ACTRESS,

AND APPARENTLY,
THIS IS MY AWARD.

THAT'S SOLID.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
BRINGING SKYE TONIGHT.

THAT WAS WHEN IT WAS
AT THE BEACH HOUSE,

BUT WE BOTH AGREED
THAT THIS HOUSE WAS
OFF-LIMITS, REMEMBER?

LISTEN, I AM TRYING
TO SOLVE THIS MURDER

AND WIN THIS THING,
SO YOU WANT TO TEAM UP
WITH ME OR WHAT?

YES, YES, YES. OK.
WHAT IS THE NEXT CLUE?

WHO'S THERE?

PREACH?

PREACH, IS THAT YOU?

[WOMAN WHISPERS "BILLY"]
BILLY: NO!

HEH! PUT THAT BAT DOWN
BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEBODY.

- WHY WOULD YOU WHISPER
MY NAME LIKE THAT?
- [CHUCKLES]

- I THOUGHT YOU
WERE THE LIBRARIAN.
- ARE YOU LOSING IT?

THESE HALLS BE
PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU.

[SIGHS]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

OH, WITH D'ANGELO
IN OAKLAND, I THOUGHT YOU
COULD USE SOME COMPANY.

- HMM.
- DIDN'T REALIZE YOU
ROPED PREACH INTO THIS.

- YEAH.
- HOW'D YOU PULL THAT OFF?

- PERKS.
- AH. WHAT KIND OF PERKS?

A MINI-FRIDGE.
DON'T WORRY.
I CAN GET YOU ONE.

MY DEAN OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
ONLY DESERVES THE BEST.

I GOTTA TELL YOU
SOMETHING, BILLY.

- WHAT'S UP?
- D'ANGELO ASKED ME TO MOVE

TO OAKLAND WITH HIM.
BILLY: OH, WOW.

WHAT WAS HIS REACTION
WHEN YOU TOLD HIM NO?

- I DIDN'T.
- YOU TOLD HIM YES?

I TOLD HIM I WOULD
THINK ABOUT IT.

WAIT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO MOVE TO OAKLAND

BUT THEN STILL BE DEAN
OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
IN CRENSHAW?

I WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO DO BOTH.

OH.

[CELLPHONE RINGTONE]

- HELLO?
- [HEAVY BREATHING]

WHO IS THIS?

I CAN HEAR YOU
BREATHING, PERV.
STOP CALLING ME.

[HANGS UP]
OH.

WHO WAS THAT?

[SIGHS]
WRONG NUMBER.

WELL, I GOT
SOME DISTURBING NEWS.

I'VE BEEN STUDYING
THESE CLUES, AND I THINK
YOU MIGHT HAVE KILLED JJ.

MMM. MAYBE I SNAP
IN THE FUTURE--

A SINGLE, WORKAHOLIC JOURNALIST.
[SPENCER CHUCKLES]

IS THAT WHY YOU UP HERE,
PRETENDING TO WORK?

I'M NOT PRETENDING.

YOU DON'T FIND IT
A LITTLE INSULTING

THAT JJ JUST ASSUMES
WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT?

I'M SURE HE AIN'T
MEAN NOTHING BY IT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOU'RE NOT PRETENDING?
YOU WORKING ON THE ARTICLE?

I'M WORKING
ON "AN" ARTICLE,

NOT "THE" ARTICLE.

IT'S DUE
TONIGHT, SPENCER.
I HAVE NO CHOICE.

WHY ARE YOU WRITING
A NEW ARTICLE
THAT'S DUE TODAY?

BECAUSE I AM TRYING
TO NOT GET FIRED, OK?

FIRED?
WHAT'S GOING ON, LIV?

TODAY I TOLD CHRISTEL
THAT I'M...

NOT TURNING IN
THE N.I.L. ARTICLE.

SHE KINDA WENT
BALLISTIC.

- WHY'D YOU TELL HER THAT?
- BECAUSE I KILLED IT...

MOSTLY FOR YOU.

- I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO DO THAT.
- YOU...

DIDN'T HAVE TO.

[SCOFFS]

ARE YOU SERIOUS
RIGHT NOW?

YOU RESENTING ME
FOR SOMETHING I
AIN'T EVEN DO?

LIV, I HAVE ALWAYS
SUPPORTED YOU.

DID I LIKE IT? NO.

WAS IT MAKING MY LIFE HARDER?
YES, BUT I'M A BIG BOY.
I CAN HANDLE THAT.

SO I WAS JUST SUPPOSED
TO SIT BACK
AND WATCH YOU

AND YOUR TEAM IMPLODE
BECAUSE OF MY WORK?

IF IT COMES TO THAT,
THEN YEAH.

LIV, OUR PASSIONS ARE
INCREASINGLY MOVING US
IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.

WE HAVE TO BE ABLE
TO NAVIGATE THAT

WITHOUT COMPROMISING
WHO WE ARE OR OUR DREAMS.

THAT KIND OF SACRIFICE
AIN'T HEALTHY, CLEARLY.
I MEAN, LOOK AT US NOW!

I CAN'T DO THIS RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE TO FINISH THIS ARTICLE
SO I CAN KEEP MY JOB.

- WELL, I AIN'T COOL
LEAVING THINGS LIKE THIS.
- WELL, THEN FINE. I'LL LEAVE.

GOD.

THERE IT GOES AGAIN.
DID--

DID Y'ALL SEE THAT?

PREACH: NO.
GRACE: SEE WHAT, BILLY?

Y'ALL DIDN'T SEE THAT?

GRACE: NO.

OH! THERE IT WENT--
A-AGAIN--

IT'S GOING BACK AND FORTH.
GRACE: OK, LOOK,

I DID HEAR SOMETHING THIS TIME.
PREACH: YEAH, ME, TOO.

LET ME GO
CHECK IT OUT.
[GRUNTS]

BILLY: WANT THIS BAT?
GRACE: NO, NO, NO BATS.

PREACH: GIVE ME THIS BAT.
BILLY: OK.

[GRACE SIGHS]

- BE CAREFUL.
- [SCOFFS]

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE A GREAT FULL-TIME
PRINCIPAL, BILLY.

AH, WE BOTH KNOW
THE ONLY REASON

I GOT THOSE VOTES WAS
BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING.

- HMM.
- BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE
MOVING TO OAKLAND--

I DID NOT SAY
THAT I WAS MOVING.

SO YOU'RE STAYING?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]
I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, I
WALKED THESE HALLS.

COREY WALKED
THESE HALLS, SPENCER.

I JUST DON'T THINK I
CAN ROB DILLON OF
THIS TRADITION.

MMM.

OK, SO LET'S
PUT A PIN

IN DILLON'S LEGACY
AT SOUTH CRENSHAW...

- MMM.
- JUST FOR NOW.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

♪ ALL WE SEE
IS GHOSTS IN TOWN ♪

OH, OH, OH.
WHAT'S THAT
ON THE COUCH?

VERY SUBTLE, JJ.

UM, I FOUND A CLUE.
YOU WANT TO HELP?

UH...YEAH, SURE.

OK. HEH!

"THE PIANO HOLDS
A DARK SECRET."

[CHUCKLES]
OK, WELL, LET'S CHECK OUT
THE PIANO, SHALL WE?

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
HEH!

UH, AH.

INTERESTING.

WHAT?

LOOKS LIKE YOU
HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

- WAIT.
- IT'S FROM YOUR PINK BOA.

- A PLOT TWIST.
- JJ, DID YOU MAKE ME
THE KILLER?

CAN I TAKE THIS THING OFF NOW?
JORDAN: NO, NO,

YOU CAN'T BE THE KILLER.
THAT'D BE TOO EASY.

- MAYBE I SAW THE KILLER.
- MMM.

OH! COULD HAVE BEEN
YOUR HOT DATE.

WHAT WAS HER NAME?
UM, TESSA.

[CHUCKLING]
NO, THAT WAS HER ROOMMATE.

OH. RIGHT. MMM.

SURPRISED YOU'RE, UH,
MOVING ON SO QUICKLY.

I'M NOT MOVING ON.
I'M JUST HAVING FUN.

NOT JUDGING, IT'S JUST
IT'S KINDA OBVIOUS
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

I MEAN, SIMONE BROKE
YOUR HEART, AND NOW
YOU'RE TRYING

TO PROVE A POINT
BY SLEEPING WITH
EVERY GIRL IN L.A.?

AND WHAT POINT AM I
TRYING TO PROVE?

THAT YOU'RE OVER HER
WHEN YOU'RE NOT.

LOOK, LAYLA,
JUST BECAUSE WE'VE
BEEN HANGING OUT A LOT

RECENTLY DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOU SUDDENLY KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.

- I'M NOT SAYING THAT I DO--
- AND IT DEFINITELY DOESN'T
GIVE YOU THE RIGHT

TO TRY AND PSYCHOANALYZE ME.
LAYLA: I'M NOT PSYCHOANALYZING.
I...

[SCOFFS]
OK, YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU'RE RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW YOU AS WELL
AS I THOUGHT I DID.

I'M JUST GONNA TRY
AND FIND MORE CLUES.

COOP: I THINK I MIGHT
BE ON TO SOMETHING.

EVERYONE'S CARD LISTS
THE FINAL CONVERSATION

THEY HAD WITH JJ
BEFORE HE DIED.

MMM. MINE WAS
ABOUT BUBBLEGUM.

AND MINE WAS ABOUT
THE ROCK'S OSCAR SPEECH.

- THE ROCK WON AN OSCAR?
- HE WILL IN A COUPLE YEARS,

BUT IT'S NOT WHAT
THE CONVERSATIONS WITH JJ

WERE ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT
WHEN THEY TOOK PLACE.

I MEAN, ALL OF US
LAST SPOKE TO HIM

8 YEARS AGO, SO WHAT
HAPPENS IN TWO YEARS?

OK, THAT NEW LEGAL MIND
OF YOURS IS REALLY GOING
TO WORK RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE I WILL BE
A JUDGE ONE DAY.

I NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT IT BEFORE.

- I CAN SEE IT.
- YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH
JJ IS PREDICTING

THAT ALL OF US DO
BIG THINGS IN THE FUTURE,

SOMETHING ABOUT IT JUST
SEEMS SAD AND LONELY.

WELL, I MEAN, AT LEAST
YOU'RE HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, THIS NEW JOB
HAS BEEN GOOD FOR ME.

I LIKE THIS...
NEW VERSION OF YOU.

SO DO I.

SAY, BROTHER,
DO YOU MIND
IF I, UH, I WALK

ON YOUR--ON YOUR
WET FLOOR?

I PREFER IF YOU WAIT
FOR IT TO DRY.

OK.

HOW LONG
GONNA BE, ABOUT?

- GO AHEAD.
- THANKS. SORRY.

I HEARD YOU'RE GONNA BE
THE PERMANENT PRINCIPAL HERE.

- WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
- I'M THE JANITOR.

I HEAR EVERYTHING.
BILLY: IT'S NOT OFFICIAL YET.

I ACTUALLY,
UH, I PROMISED
THE SCHOOL BOARD

THAT I WOULD BRING ON,
UH, GRACE JAMES
AS MY DEAN

OF STUDENT AFFAIRS,
BUT SHE MIGHT BE
MOVING TO OAKLAND.

- WHAT'S IN OAKLAND?
- AH, HER BOYFRIEND,

BUT SHE'S LEANING
TOWARDS STAYING,

SO IT'S ACTUALLY--
IT'S A GOOD THING.

GOOD FOR HER
OR GOOD FOR YOU?

WELL,
SHE WENT HERE, SO,

YOU KNOW, SHE HAS
TIES TO THE SCHOOL.

- SO SHE RESPECTS TRADITION.
- YEAH.

ALL ABOUT TRADITION,

MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

[SIGHS]
SHE'LL MAKE

THE RIGHT DECISION
FOR HER.

AND AS FOR YOU,

IF THIS JOB IS
TRULY IMPORTANT TO YOU,

FIND A WAY
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

DON'T LET ANYBODY
TELL YOU IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

'CAUSE NOTHING IS.

ASHER: SO APPARENTLY
I'M YOUR COACH
IN THE FUTURE.

THEN I WANT
TO BE TRADED.

LOOK, I'M OVER THIS
MURDER MYSTERY THING,

BUT JJ STILL CARES,
AND HE GAVE ME A CLUE

FOR THE BOTH OF US,
SO LET'S READ IT
AND MOVE ON, YEAH?

FINE. OPEN IT.

A MOVIE STUB--
"HOBBS & SHAW."

ANOTHER MOVIE STUB--
"HOBBS & SHAW,"

DIFFERENT DATE.
SPENCER: THAT'S IT?

UH, THERE'S A PHOTO
AND A LETTER.

HERE.

IT'S ME, YOU,
JORDAN, AND JJ.

IT'S A LETTER FROM ME
TO YOU IN THE FUTURE,

ASKING YOU
TO COME PLAY FOR ME.

"I KNOW WE HAVEN'T
SPOKEN IN 8 YEARS."

SOMETHING MUST HAPPEN
IN TWO YEARS.

THIS SAYS,
"WAS IT EVER REAL?"

WAS WHAT EVER REAL--
OUR FRIENDSHIP?

IF I'M BEING HONEST,
JJ KINDA NAILED EXACTLY
HOW I'VE BEEN FEELING.

YOU FEEL LIKE
OUR FRIENDSHIP AIN'T REAL?

NOT IF YOU CAN TURN IT
ON AND OFF SO EASILY.

- YOU BETRAYED ME, MAN.
- AND YOU'VE NEVER BETRAYED ME?

LET'S REVISIT
OUR FRIENDSHIP
AGAIN, SHALL WE?

JJ: UH, GUYS, CAN YOU
HAVE THIS DISCUSSION
IN FRONT OF

THE OTHER GUESTS?
IT'S KIND OF
A PIVOTAL SCENE,

AND YOU SHOULD
REALLY BE WEARING THE
MUSTACHE I PROVIDED.

YOU STOLE
MY GIRLFRIEND, MAN--

NOT ONCE, TWICE;
TWO TIMES,

TWO DIFFERENT GIRLS.

YOU ALSO STOLE MY SPOT
ON THE TEAM.

OK, SO NOW YOU WANT
TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION?

FIRST OF ALL, MAYBE THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
SO EASY TO STEAL

IF YOU DIDN'T CHEAT
ON ONE AND SLUT-SHAME
THE OTHER AT HOMECOMING!

RIGHT, 'CAUSE YOU'VE NEVER
CHEATED ON YOUR GIRL?

YOU'VE NEVER MADE YOUR GIRL
FEEL LIKE CRAP?

AND SECOND OF ALL, I
DIDN'T STEAL YOUR SPOT,
HOMIE, I TOOK IT.

IT AIN'T MY FAULT I WAS
JUST BETTER THAN YOU.

THERE IT IS.

THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE--
SPENCER JAMES

IS JUST BETTER THAN ME.
YOU ARE ALWAYS THE HERO,

I'M ALWAYS THE VILLAIN, RIGHT?
SPENCER: NOBODY SAID THAT.

NOBODY SAID THAT.
ASHER: OK, ALL RIGHT.
JJ: GUYS, GUYS, SORRY.

WHEW! UH, IS IT
TOO MUCH TO ASK

FOR YOU
TO START OVER IN
THE LIVING ROOM?

'CAUSE I HAVE
EVERYONE GATHERED,
AND I PROMISE,

IT PAYS OFF IN THE END.
ASHER: I ALREADY KNOW WHO
DID IT, JJ. IT WAS SPENCER.

YOU MUST HAVE HAD SOMETHING
THAT HE WANTED, TOO,

'CAUSE HE'LL STAB ANYONE IN
THE BACK, EVEN HIS FRIENDS,

TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.

CASE SOLVED.

HEY. ANYTHING?

NOPE.

NO SHUSHING SOUNDS,
HUH?

- NO, OUR LIBRARIAN MUST
HAVE WENT HOME EARLY.
- WELL...

DID YOU SEE THAT?
DID YOU SEE THAT?
PREACH: HEY, HEY, YO!

- I'VE GOT YOU NOW!
- HOLD UP, BILLY!

- AMINA?
- [SIGHS]

- WHY IS YOUR DAUGHTER HERE?
- [SCOFFS]

I PROMISED HER WE'D GO
TO THE HAUNTED HAYRIDE,

THEN YOU MADE ME
COME HERE INSTEAD.

I DIDN'T MAKE HIM COME.
HE--

HE GOT A MINI-FRIDGE
OUT OF IT. TELL HER.

I TOLD HER SHE CAN BE
A HALLWAY MONSTER
FOR HALLOWEEN.

[SIGHS]
SO IT WAS YOU
THIS WHOLE NIGHT?

WAS I SCARY?

GIRL--MMM.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.
[SIGHS]

COME ON. WE ALL--
Y'ALL GET OUTTA HERE.

YOU CAN TAKE
THIS LITTLE MONSTER

ON YOUR HAUNTED HAYRIDE.
GRACE IS HERE.

I'LL STILL GET
THE MINI-FRIDGE?

MM-HMM.
YOU EARNED IT.

GOOD. COME ON.

- PREACH.
- HMM?

THANKS.

NEW CLUE. INTERESTED?

SURE.

WELL, THERE SEEMS TO BE
A RUNNING THEME HERE:
NONE OF US ARE FRIENDS

AND, IN FACT, YOU AND I
HAVEN'T SPOKEN IN 8 YEARS,
WHICH IS KINDA DEPRESSING.

I MEAN, MAYBE NOT.

HEH! OK. YEAH, MAYBE
I HAD THAT ONE COMING.

SO ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME
WHY YOU'VE BEEN SUCH AN ASS

AND GHOSTING ME SINCE
YOUR BREAK-UP WITH SIMONE?

- LAYLA, I HAVEN'T
BEEN GHOSTING YOU.
- JORDAN, COME ON.

LIKE, WE GOT REALLY CLOSE.
I THOUGHT WE WERE THERE

FOR EACH OTHER,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU WEREN'T THERE ANYMORE.

- I TOLD YOU,
I'VE JUST BEEN--
- BUSY WITH FOOTBALL.

OK, YOU CAN GO
WITH THAT, OR,
YOU KNOW,

MAYBE YOU BLAME ME
FOR YOUR BREAK-UP
WITH SIMONE.

- I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR THAT.
- DOES SHE?

ANY VANDALIZATION
HAPPENING?

UH, NO, BUT I
DID FIND THE, UH,

THE SHADOWY HALLWAY
CREATURE THAT'S BEEN
TERRORIZING ME ALL NIGHT.

AMINA?

PREACH TOLD ME WHEN I
ASKED HIM WHY HE WASN'T
WITH HER ON HALLOWEEN.

SO Y'ALL
BEEN PLAYING ME
THIS WHOLE TIME, HUH?

[LAUGHS]

UH, LISTEN, UM...

GRACE, YOU KNOW
THAT I WON'T GET
THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTES

IF YOU MOVE AWAY TO OAKLAND.
GRACE: BILLY, I CAN'T FACTOR
THAT INTO MY DECISION.

I KNOW.
I ACTUALLY THINK
YOU SHOULD GO.

- WHAT?
- YEAH. GRACIE, I HAVEN'T SEEN

YOU LIKE THIS SINCE
HIGH SCHOOL, COREY.

AND WE BOTH KNOW
THAT THE CHANCES

OF FINDING LOVE, THEY
DON'T COME AROUND OFTEN,

AND YOU DON'T NEED
TO WORRY ABOUT DILLON.

HE'LL MAKE
NEW TRADITIONS THERE
FOR HIS OWN KIDS.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU,

THIS JOB?

AH, I'LL BE FINE.

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID,

UH, IF THIS JOB IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME,

THEN I'D FIND A WAY
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN,

NOT LET ANYBODY TELL ME
IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE
BECAUSE NOTHING IS.

AMINA WASN'T
THE ONLY SECRET

I WAS KEEPING
FROM YOU TONIGHT.
[BILLY CHUCKLES]

THIS IS FOR YOU.

BAM!

- HA HA HA!
- PRINCIPAL BAKER!

WAIT.

THE SCHOOL BOARD
VOTED LAST NIGHT.

IT'S OFFICIAL.

I ASKED THEM
IF I COULD TELL YOU.

SO Y'ALL WANTED
TO TORTURE ME
A LITTLE BIT FIRST, HUH?

HAD TO.
IT'S HALLOWEEN.

WAIT. DOES THIS MEAN
THERE AIN'T NO VANDAL?

OH, NO,
THAT'S VERY REAL.

CONGRATULATIONS, BILLY.

YOU DESERVE IT.

[OUTGOING EMAIL WHOOSHES]

HOW'S IT GOING?

[SIGHS]
I JUST HIT SEND.

IT IS NOT WHAT
MY EDITOR ASKED FOR,

AGAIN, BUT...
HOPEFULLY SHE LIKES IT.

I'M SURE IT'S GREAT.

YOU MIND IF WE GO
SOMEWHERE AND TALK?

I DON'T WANT US
GOING TO BED MAD.
- NEITHER DO I,

BUT JJ WILL KILL US
IF WE BAIL BEFORE
THE MYSTERY'S SOLVED.

YEAH. HE'S ABOUT
TO REVEAL WHO DID IT,

SO, LET'S GO FIND OUT
WHO KILLED HIM,

AND THEN DEAL WITH US.
COOL?

[CELLPHONE RINGTONE]
OLIVIA: OH. FORGOT MY PHONE.

[RINGING STOPS]

ALL RIGHT, MY SUSPECTS,
THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED.

IT'S TIME TO REVEAL
MY FUTURE KILLER.

I SHOULD POINT OUT A FEW CLUES
THAT WENT UNDISCOVERED

THE ENTIRE NIGHT--
THAT HALF-EATEN APPLE
ON THE CARPET.

EW! PICK THAT UP
RIGHT NOW!

THAT APPLE WAS
FUTURE JJ's FINAL MEAL

BEFORE HIS
UNTIMELY DEMISE.

I DON'T CARE.
GET IT OFF MY CARPET.

SORRY. I GOT IT.

I'LL SKIP AHEAD.

OLIVIA: YEAH.

BEFORE I REVEAL THE KILLER,
ARE THERE ANY GUESSES?

COOP: YEAH.
I THINK IT WAS MORE
THAN ONE PERSON.

JJ: CLEVER, COOP.
IT WAS ALL RIGHT THERE
IN FRONT OF YOU, IN YOUR BIOS.

IT'S WHO YOU ALL BECOME--
SUCCESSFUL, BUT AT WHAT COST?

DUDE, JUST TELL US
WHO KILLED YOU.

[JORDAN AND COOP CHUCKLE]

JJ: ALL OF YOU.

SO YOU BASICALLY
RIPPED OFF

"MURDER ON THE ORIENT
EXPRESS"? HEH HEH!

SPENCER: WAIT. HOW WERE
THE TICKET STUBS CLUES?

AH. "HOBBS & SHAW."

THE FIRST TICKET
WAS WHEN YOU WERE ALL
SUPPOSED TO MEET ME

AT THE THEATER, BUT NOBODY
SHOWED UP, SO I WATCHED
THE MOVIE ALL BY MYSELF.

THE SECOND TICKET,
ALSO FOR "HOBBS & SHAW,"

WHEN YOU RESCHEDULED
AND SAID YOU'D BE THERE.

NOBODY SHOWED, SO I
WATCHED IT BY MYSELF,

AGAIN--GOOD THING
THAT MOVIE ROCKS--

BUT IT DEMONSTRATES HOW YOU ALL
TAKE FRIENDSHIP FOR GRANTED.

LAYLA: WHAT ABOUT MY PINK BOA
ON THE PIANO KEYS?

THAT, MS. KEATING, WAS
A CLASSIC MISDIRECT,

AND IT WORKED, TOO,
BECAUSE NOBODY NOTICED

THE SHEET MUSIC
THAT WAS ON THE PIANO--

THE FINAL SONG PLAYED
BY FUTURE JJ,

WIZ KHALIFA AND CHARLIE PUTH'S
HEARTBREAKING BALLAD

"SEE YOU AGAIN," FEATURED
AT THE END OF "FURIOUS 7."

IT'S ABOUT THE LOSS
OF FRIENDSHIP.

OK, WELL, WHAT HAPPENS
IN TWO YEARS?

THIS SECOND FAMILY
WE ALL HAVE HERE

THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME
WILL DRIFT APART

BECAUSE NOBODY HERE
VALUES FRIENDSHIP.

IN TEN YEARS, WE'LL
NO LONGER BE FRIENDS...

AND THAT...KILLS ME.

SPENCER: WHAT?
OLIVIA: WAIT.

THAT'S HOW YOU DIED?
COOP: HOLD ON.

SO YOU DIDN'T GET
STABBED OR NOTHING?

JORDAN: THIS IS SO JJ.
PATIENCE: THAT WAS--

WE DID A LOT FOR THIS.
ASHER: DUDE, DUDE,

IT'S KIND OF
EMBARRASSING, MAN.

JORDAN: CAR SALESMAN
IN THE FUTURE?

YEAH, WELL,
I'M NOT EMBARRASSED.

I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE
WHO GIVES A DAMN
ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE

OR HAD.

SPENCE AND ASH,

YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS CLEARLY
MORE IMPORTANT TO ME

THAN IT IS TO YOU,
SO LAUGH ALL YOU WANT.

YOU KNOW, IN MY TIME CAPSULE,
I SAID I HOPED IN 20 YEARS,
WE COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN,

BUT WE WON'T EVEN
LAST TEN.

HELL, WE MIGHT NOT
EVEN LAST TWO.

WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAL,
BUT WE'VE BEEN DRIFTING APART

SINCE GRADUATION, AND AS MUCH
AS IT KILLS ME TO ADMIT IT,

PRETTY SOON WE'LL ALL
BE NOTHING MORE THAN
DISTANT MEMORIES,

AND IT'LL BE BECAUSE
OF YOU...

ALL OF YOU.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS REAL.

IT'S REAL.
YOU EARNED IT.

THANK YOU, GRACIE.
LOOK, YOU CAN TAKE OFF.

THIS HAS GIVEN ME
A JOLT OF ENERGY.
I CAN TAKE IT FROM HERE.

OK. UH, BUT FIRST,
LET'S PUT THAT ON YOUR DOOR.

OOH, GOOD IDEA.

YES. HA HA HA!

OH. HA HA HA--

[GASPS]

BILLY.

BILLY: OH...
[DOOR CLOSES]
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

OH--AND WHAT IS THIS
ON THE LOCKERS?

SLIME?

[SCOFFS]
WHOEVER DID THIS,

THEY'RE GOOD.

LOOKS LIKE YOUR FIRST JOB
AS PRINCIPAL IS HIRING

A NEW JANITOR
TO CLEAN ALL OF THIS UP.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THE ONE WE GOT?
I LIKE THAT GUY.

WE AIN'T GOT
A JANITOR.

OURS RETIRED,
LIKE, 3 WEEKS AGO.

HE WAS, LIKE,
85 YEARS OLD.

WELL, THEN,

WHO THE HELL--

[LAUGHING]

I'M ALL ABOUT TRADITION,

MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

DON'T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

'CAUSE NOTHING IS.

[BILLY CHUCKLING]
GRACE: WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

IT WAS HIM.
HE...

HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT HIMSELF.

COME ON.

I AIN'T NEVER SEEN JJ
LIKE THAT, MAN.

THIS WHOLE NIGHT
WAS ABOUT US.

IT WAS ABOUT
ALL OF US...

BUT, YEAH,

HE REALLY DOESN'T
LIKE US FIGHTING.

NEITHER DO I.

HE WAS WRONG
ABOUT ONE THING, THOUGH.

HE SAID MY FRIENDSHIP
WITH YOU MATTERED MORE
TO HIM THAN IT DID TO ME.

THAT AIN'T TRUE, MAN.

I AGREE.

I CAN GET PISSED OFF
AT YOU, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW WHY?

- 'CAUSE WE'RE FAMILY?
- BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILY.

WAS THERE EVER
ANY DOUBT?

[PATS ASHER'S BACK TWICE]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
PATIENCE: HEY.

HEY.

YOU KNOW, YOU WERE
CLOSER THAN ANYONE
TO SOLVING THAT MURDER.

YEAH, I GUESS IT'S
THAT NEW LEGAL MIND
OF YOURS.

YEAH, THIS WAS FUN--
TONIGHT,

ME AND YOU,
WORKING TOGETHER
LIKE OLD TIMES.

YEAH, THE THING IS
IT WASN'T LIKE OLD TIMES.

I MEAN, TONIGHT,
I WAS HANGING OUT
WITH THE NEW YOU,

THE VERSION THAT SKYE
GETS TO BE WITH.

WHY DID YOU CHANGE
FOR HER AND NOT ME?

I DIDN'T CHANGE FOR SKYE.
I CHANGED FOR ME.

I MEAN, YOU SAID IT
YOURSELF--I HAD
NOTHING GOING ON.

NOW I DO.

MMM.

WELL...

WHY DIDN'T I GET

THIS VERSION OF YOU...

HMM?

♪ I SWEAR YOU'RE GONNA
FIND IT ♪

♪ I PROMISE IT'LL BE
ALL RIGHT ♪

JORDAN: HEY.
LAYLA: HEY.

UH, THAT WAS--
JORDAN: THE MOST JJ THING EVER?

- YEAH. HEH!
- YEAH.

I MEAN,
SAY WHAT YOU WANT.

HE CARES ABOUT HIS FRIENDS.
JORDAN: YEAH.

SO DO I.
I'M REALLY SORRY

OUR FRIENDSHIP CAME
BETWEEN YOU AND SIMONE.

LISTEN,
LAYLA, YOU WERE--
YOU WERE RIGHT.

I WAS...I WAS TRYING
TO PROVE A POINT

BY SLEEPING WITH
ALL THOSE GIRLS.

BUT I WASN'T TRYING
TO PROVE THAT I WAS
OVER SIMONE. I WAS...

I WAS TRYING TO PROVE
THAT SIMONE WAS WRONG
ABOUT YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
ABOUT ME?

SHE COULD SEE
SOMETHING BETWEEN US.

WELL, DID YOU TELL HER
THAT WE'RE JUST FRIENDS?

YES...

I LIED TO HER.

- JORDAN, I DON'T THINK--
- I HAVE FEELINGS
FOR YOU, LAYLA.

AND DESPITE
MY BEST EFFORTS THESE
PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,

I CAN'T MAKE THEM
GO AWAY,

AND HONESTLY,
I DON'T WANT TO
ANYMORE BECAUSE...

BECAUSE I THINK
THAT YOU FEEL
THE SAME WAY.

HEY, YOU SEEN THIS?

- HMM?
- "UNMASKED," BY OLIVIA BAKER.

SHE POSTED THE ARTICLE?

YEAH, I GUESS
SHE LIKES IT.

LIV...

I WANT US TO BE OK.

ME, TOO.

SOMETIMES YOU MAKE ME
DOUBT MYSELF, SPENCER.

- HOW?
- DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT
I WROTE ABOUT TONIGHT?

DID YOU EVEN LOOK
AT THE ARTICLE?

TONIGHT I WROTE
ABOUT HOW,

FOR ONE DAY A YEAR,
ON HALLOWEEN,

PEOPLE PRETEND TO BE
SOMEONE THEY'RE NOT...

BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE PEOPLE WHO PRETEND
EVERY SINGLE DAY?

WHO'S PRETENDING
HERE--ME OR YOU?

ASHER:
HEY, GUYS, GUYS,

HEY, CAN WE GIVE IT UP
FOR JJ, PLEASE?

HE HAS WORKED SO HARD
TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

HE'S BEEN SECRETIVE
FOR DAYS.

TO EVERYONE'S BEST FRIEND, JJ.
[CLAPPING AND CHEERING]

JJ: HA HA HA!
WELL, THANKS, GUYS.

UH, I DO HAVE ONE MORE
SURPRISE TONIGHT.

NO, NO, NO. NO MORE.
DUDE, NO MORE--

MAN: GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!
NOW! GET DOWN!

JORDAN: COME ON, BRO!
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

JJ: THIS ISN'T MY SURPRISE--AAH!
MAN: HEY, HEY, HEY.

SPENCER: HEY, MAN--
MAN: GET DOWN!

I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN!
OLIVIA: SPENCER, GET DOWN.

THIS IS REAL.

PATIENCE: WHAT IS HAPPENING?
COOP: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW. JUST GET DOWN.

MAN: THIS HOUSE IS SECURED.
[TEXT CHIME]

GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD!
