Do you ever think of Chadwick's office?

What was he doing?

Let's go.

Come on in, Jane. Sit down.

Chadwick, you sick pup.

We have confidential information on half
of the school. Transfer the files to

the crotch drive.

And I'm not into ILO anymore. We need to
change direction.

I've never even heard of Grace Ho and
now she's everywhere.

Where'd they find her? I think they made
her in a lab. Whole deal offered.

Someone like you a lot of ways to make
some cash.

Cost you some cheap vodka up front. As
long as she keeps her end up, I'll make

it happen. Yeah, of course. I'm in.

What now? You keep your end of the
bargain, and let's plan a weekly meet.

good?

I've been there.

That's how it starts with her.

Good luck.

My mom says I'm lucky to be in high
school because I don't have to deal with

real -world problems.

It's so condescending.

Real world, high school, it's all the
same.

Everyone is just doing whatever they can
to appear like they're cool and have it

all together.

Truth is, we're all wound tight as a
coil.

Some just hide it better.

There's an actual medical term for it.

It's called duck syndrome.

Basically, it says that when you see a
duck swimming across a pond, it seems to

be gliding effortlessly.

But if you take a look under the water,
the duck is frantically paddling just to

stay afloat.

Changing for Jim.

Is this a football hazing thing?

No, no. Today, I identify as a woman.

How much did he win?

20 bucks from Jackoff, Ilo.

It's so gross that Tripp would use a
trans struggle to win a stupid sex.

20 bucks?

That's not a lot for what he did.

Too hard. Hey, when you were hooking up
with Tripp last year, were there any

signs? That he was trans?

No. Trust me, there was no gender fluid
between us.

Have you swallowed it all?

Can we please?

I'm just saying there's 0 % chance that
he's legit trans.

Farrah, you don't actually think he's
trans, do you? I don't believe anything

yet. Are you serious?

I just think in situations like these,
it's best to judge slowly and then judge

even slower than that. It was a bet. I
saw him get paid.

I'm not saying it wasn't. I'm just
saying that I'm open to the possibility

there's more to it than that.

Which means he needs to know.

Okay, say Tripp is actually trans and
he's struggling with it.

That'd be sad, Farrah.

That's not what's happening here.

You do realize that your search for the
truth is actually an OCD? You should

consider therapy. It's not, and I'm
pretty sure that's offensive to people

OCD.

I'll be right back.

Fitting your sandwich.

Your little gray pill puppet did.

My puppet? She's not keeping her end of
our election deal.

Some student council moral high ground
bullshit.

Oh, man, we hate the moral high ground
bullshit.

We need someone who doesn't mind.
Playing dirty?

Yeah. Don't worry about her. I'll talk
to her, okay?

First game is after school Friday. I
need to be in that snack bar selling.

Mm -hmm, I got it. Fast.

I'm getting the vibe off his grace.

I really don't think pulling her strings
is going to be as easy as you think.

Wow, really going all the way with that
puppet metaphor, huh?

Hey,

I'll get it done.

Okay, don't worry about it. Thanks.

There she is.

Let's not pretend this isn't weird.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Dad. How you doing?

Good. You know, besides your boxes being
in the garage and having to deliver

your mail to you.

I'm going to take care of it.

You can't keep staying in Airbnbs, so
here.

What's this?

It's listings for local condos.

I know that signing a lease may make all
this seem more permanent, but... Well,

honey, I already found a place. I got a
two -bedroom downtown.

Right in the middle of the gallery
district.

Oh. The gallery district? Yeah. I
figured, why not cut out the commute?

I've always wanted to live in the center
of the action.

Well, aren't you fancy?

Look, I, um... I never wanted any of
this.

Well, you kind of asked for it. You
know, with the roaming penis of it all.

Before I left... You agreed not to take
sides, and that sounds just a little

like your mom.

I'm not choosing her side.

Just don't pretend that me having to
walk your mail out to the driveway just

happened to you.

I know that.

And if I could have spun it differently,
I would have.

But this is where we are now.

And I can't start over where every yenta
in town is talking about my divorce,

you know?

There's nothing for me here.

Nothing at all.

I told you it's over with her.

I wasn't talking about your side dish,
Dad.

Of course, I meant besides you.

That's why I got the two -bedroom place.

So you can hang out whenever you want.

And we can do city stuff together, you
know?

Yeah.

Someday, I'm gonna find that asshole and
send that tape to your mom.

I'm not making belly pancakes.

Well, you've been watching upskirt
videos all day. I can only assume you've

dropping puddles left and right. I'm not
watching. I'm listening, okay? And

besides, you're the one who told me to
check through these tapes for any trip

stuff. No, I'm just kidding.

So far, not one word on any of these
files about Tripp being trans anything.

I think it's time to accept that Tripp
is just an insensitive moron who made a

bet.

Sometimes the answer is the one right in
front of you. People aren't always

lying. Apparently Grace Ho did.

She's not keeping her end of the deal
with Hook, so that's on me to hook.

Well, you did make that bet.

Okay, well, go back to listening and hit
me up if you find anything.

There's no reason for him to come back.
He only won the bet.

And even if he did it just to be with
her, it's not like any of us are

in front of him.

I don't even think Tripp wants to see us
change.

Hey, did you get anything on Grace yet?

Well, obviously she has more style.

Thanks to us. Although, with the way I
think those man boots she wore yesterday

were a big step backwards.

There are quite two kinds of premises
for my liking.

Okay, first of all, the boots are dope.

Second, you didn't tell me that she has
713 followers or that she updates three

times a day now.

That's not all that much.

She had thick when we found her. Your
shock season was popular?

We need her that way.

When's the last time she updated her
live checking Tumblr?

Two weeks ago.

Looks like she's dropping her old hobby
for a new hobby. And what's her new

hobby?

Herself. Hey, what's up?

Hey.

So we're doing this again?

Yeah. We're doing this again.

Okay, let's do this.

Are you serious?

Yeah, why not? I mean, it's just for
girls, right?

Okay, I'm gonna go to the stall.

Your mood, girlfriend.

Any results? Like what exactly?

Like any signs of excitement.

Oh, is somebody jealous?

No, I'm trying to gauge how ladylike
Tripp was in that moment.

Trans and gay are not the same thing.
And not all guys get a rager at the

of a Victoria's Secret label or, say, a
girl in the shower.

At our age, we do, okay? It's a hormonal
thing.

What, was it not that way between you
and Will?

Oh, not at all.

I meant to tell you the other day that I
love your boots.

Thanks. They're vintage Red Wings. I
know. So cool.

So I talked to Hook.

I thought you might.

Look, he wants to use the student
council snack bar at the football games

you know, him.

So let him volunteer.

Have him sign up on the list and keep it
there to prove that he signed up

himself. I mean, you don't know what
he's going to do once he's inside.

I've been a watcher since I got here.

I know what goes on.

So I have a pretty good idea that Hook
may do something illegal.

Exactly. You have an idea of what he may
do, but you don't know what he's going

to do. Just like with any other
volunteer.

Plausible deniability.

I'm not a very good liar.

We all are. It comes with the age. I
mean, it's how we get through the day.

I mean, I'm not comfortable with it.

Look, Grace, I respect whatever code of
ethics you think you have.

But the truth is, without Hook's help,
you would still be a watcher at the

school. I mean, no offense.

You may look the part, but don't forget
how you got here.

Okay, that's enough, everyone. Settle
down.

Look, if this is a joke, it's been
played out. If it's a bet, you won.

If this is something where there's going
to be six of you tomorrow and then 20

of you the next day... You're trampling
on our rights.

As transgender, which clearly you are
not. Clearly?

You can't see my gender.

Yeah, you can't see our gender.

Okay, I'm pretty sure the douchier one
isn't trans anything. And take off the

pussy hat you don't deserve to wear.

Enough!

Okay, let's just all...

Let's stand back for a moment and think
about how long and hard the LGBT

community has fought.

Q.

LGBTQ.

Thank you.

The LGBTQ community has fought long and
hard for their rights.

Think about if you're making a mockery
of that struggle.

All right, let's call it. No!

Whatever anyone believes about why we're
here or who we are is totally

inconsequential because the law is on
our side here.

Now,

Principal Cowher, ladies, unless you
want an eyeful, I'm changing

for Jim. The law? You want to talk about
the law?

Fine. We're going to talk about the law.
We're going to talk about the law.

Let's get Jesse Manning in here and a
few other people.

Very progressive for student council.

Actually, um, Principal Cower called the
meeting, but it's a good idea.

Yeah, it is.

So, did you patch things up with Hook?

Not really.

Um, it's just I'm not comfortable using
the student council for illegal

activities. Stop saying illegal.

It's all legal as far as you know.

Look, I get it. You don't trust Hook.

But we've been friends since second
grade, and you bailing? I know where

going with this, and I appreciate
everything you guys have done for me,

I do.

Do you?

I mean, there are a lot of applications
that get sent to the Ivies that have

good grades and test scores, but only
one person per school gets to put class

president on their ass.

Is this where you tell me that if I
don't play along that you or Hook can

my presidency short -lived?

Uh, we're not mobsters, and let's not
forget, I am on your side.

It was my idea to get you elected.

Tell Hook I unlocked the snack bar two
hours before game time.

And to not involve me whatsoever in
whatever legal thing he's doing.

Will do.

Thank you.

I heard the press fans are setting up in
the lot. It's going to be a circus.

I hate the circus.

You kind of called for this meeting.

Yes, I know, but now I have this Crocs
thing undermining me at every turn.

but Crocs isn't really about you, okay?
Most of the posts are about the

students. Yeah, be that as it may, I
still have to deal with that and all the

press showing up and everything I say is
going to be on tape and scrutinized and

there's just a million ways for me to
screw this up. Mom, you are amazing at

your job, okay? You're going to crush it
tonight.

Or be crushed.

Let's go.

You love me either way, right?

Yeah.

How'd you do with Grace?

She's a gamer. We worked it out.

No way.

I feel bad for the trans community.

First they're represented by a
Kardashian, and now these brozos.

At least Caitlyn has a nice style.

These guys are wearing new boots.

See you inside.

We stood our ground, and the board
agrees. The law is the law.

What the hell, Mom?

I was waiting up for you.

You're lonely.

No, I just wanted to catch you.

Have you heard the news coverage for
tonight?

Trip is such a brave boy.

Okay, let's not saint him yet.

If he's actually trans, then good for
him for fighting the fight. But if he's

making himself the face of something
he's not, then that is really shitty.

So long as he's fighting on the right
side.

Because if he's not actually trans, then
he's proving the other side right.

And that is?

That any guy can just follow a girl into
the bathroom and there's nothing she

can do about it. I mean, it's not as cut
and dry as you think.

I guess you're right.

I'm going to get out of your head.

What's with the tech multitasking?

I mean, it's very millennial of you.

I'm picking a shot for my Tinder
profile.

Don't say it. It's what separated people
do.

Okay, let me see your choices.

Oh, these are professional headshots.

I heard a photographer.

And you are barefoot in a tree. Why?

I wanted something that says playful and
low -maintenance.

Okay, well, you nailed it with the
pearls, Mom.

Here, let me help you.

That's my favorite.

Am I crazy?

It just makes no sense that he doesn't
change with us today.

Maybe he's taking the day off or he's
absent or something.

Or he's changing with the boys.

Oh, please give me the detention, baby.

Hey, Tripp, can I talk to you for a
second?

I got this.

Yeah, sure.

Keep your clothes on over there.

Wait, let me guess.

Do you miss me today?

I just don't understand.

The day after you win the right to
change in the women's locker room, you

use it?

What is that?

I guess I identify as a guy today.

You do realize that if you abandon this
now...

Everyone's going to think you just did
it for the attention.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Was any of the trans stuff real to you?

Do you really want to know?

Yeah. Go out with me after the game
tomorrow and find out for yourself.

Mom.

You can just call rather than warning me
that you're calling. Okay, I was just

at the pharmacy and... And they ran out
of lotion?

No, I was going to say I saw Tripp
buying $30 tweezers.

$30? You checked the price?

$29 .25.

What? What does a football player need
with expensive tweezers right before a

game? There's something up with him.

Yeah, exactly what I was going to say.

And that's why I put a GPS tracker on
his car.

Uh... Okay, that's a huge invasion of
privacy, but also super creepy that you

have a GPS tracker.

It's for my keys.

And besides, you know that's exactly
what any journalist worth a crap would

to chase a story.

Okay, let's not lose sight of the fact
that your journalistic output is for

something called the crotch. Be that as
it may, this is a curious turn of

events, and I figured you would at least
want me to... All right, all right, I

get it. Just let me know what happens,
okay?

and call me to tell me you were outside?

Well, um, I was trying to be sensitive.
I thought it'd be awkward for you to

have to watch me moving my stuff out.

I hear sad -ish words, but your face is
really chipper.

Yes, well, that's because Mrs.

Goldpuke is watching from her window,
and I'm trying to control the story.

I'm pretty sure she already knows the
story.

You know, it's funny.

At work, I could undercut a Wall Street
Journal story that would drop a Fortune

500 company share price in half.

When it comes to my personal life, the
only way I can spin it is to give him

smiles.

I get it.

I'll smile, too.

So, uh, I'm coming into the city
tomorrow?

Help me move in?

Um, it's the first big home game. Kind
of a big party weekend.

Cat's cradle.

I get it.

Well, what I meant is I'll probably
sleep in in the morning and then I'll

make it out in the afternoon.

But only if you take me to a good
restaurant for dinner.

It's a date.

I could also take you to the football
game.

I'm assuming there's going to be alcohol
at this big weekend party.

Look at you, being a cool dad.

I want you to know that none of this
craziness changes anything.

We're still going to make that trip to
France.

Only this time, we're going to Paris,
okay?

Okay.

Come on, let's go.

Kind of a wimp move having Vera fight
your battles for you. Okay, puppet.

Not a puppet. You're the puppet.

Great comeback.

I could blow this snack stand up in a
minute and still get into prestigious

college. Right, but you won't.

You know why?

Because you like finally being someone
at the school.

Can I get a homemade crispy?

How's business?

Less than.

Well, I'm glad we worked something out.

I didn't want there being any weirdness
in our friendship, you know?

We're cool, right?

Yeah, we're cool.

Hey, how come you don't update your law
-checking Tumblr anymore?

You visit my law -checking page?

Yeah, I mean, I can be crafty sometimes.

I believe you can be crafty more than
sometimes.

I'll catch up.

Trip is on the turnpike. It looks like
he's on his way to the city. To the

Now? Yeah.

Exactly. You want to go for a ride?

I'm at a party. I'll drop you a pen.
Pick me up.

Okay.

All in? Yeah, come in.

Hey, I got a solid plot you want to come
in and eat. I was just about to.

Can I take the car?

Oh, yeah,

okay. Okay.

Post -game party?

No, I'm just going to go see Farrah.

Are you two... Oh, she's a friend.

Nothing more?

No.

Are you... Are you seeing anybody, you
know, in a relationship way?

Anybody? Are you being gender ambiguous
on purpose?

Well, I'm just saying, you know, if you
are... I'm fine, and I'm straight, and

I'm not questioning that in any way.

Okay.

Well, if you ever do question... Yeah, I
got it. Okay, all good in that

department. Okay, cool.

Hey, Mom.

Uh, no.

Oh, hey.

You want?

Yes. One, please.

Please? I haven't heard too many of
those tonight.

I was raised right.

She said. Is she illegally bought
alcohol?

Ten dollars, right?

No.

He's around me.

Glad I only asked for one. What?

You want me to join you for a drink
right now?

Okay.

My manager is not going to like this.
All right. Okay. What is

he doing over there?

Looks like nothing.

Just sitting there in his varsity
jacket.

Maybe he's waiting for someone.

I don't know. Are you going to eat that
tomato?

Take it.

I like cherry tomatoes. Not regular
sliced tomatoes, though, because with

the tomato in them is sometimes watered
down.

I see why he's there.

Holy shit, that's a drag queen.

You were right.

She's fabulous.

Seems like they bought it.

You're losing a lot of business hanging
out over here with me.

Oh, that's fine.

I've got a feeling they'll still be
thirsty in a half hour.

Thirsty. If I could save just one
student from dehydration, I'll have done

job. Well, thank you for your service.

So, can I ask, what's the story between
you and Farrah?

Sometimes our interests overlap.

Is overlap code for having sex?

Because it's not a pretty euphemism.

You're one of her best friends.

Her and I were overlapping.

Wouldn't you know about that?

I know she was seeing someone last year.

But she doesn't really talk about that
stuff much.

Then why would I?

Oh, wait, no, no, hey.

It wasn't me with her.

She's just a friend.

Yeah, have a seat. I'm still going to
tell her 30 seconds left on this break.

All right, pack 30 seconds, make it
good.

Hi. Hey.

Go Red Wings.

Want one?

Oh, um, I don't really eat grease.

Join the world. It's not going to kill
you to be a little social.

It's no, um, cat -shaped ceramic mug,
but it'll do.

You, uh, remember my ceramics project?

That was fifth grade.

Yeah, I was super jealous of it. I
wanted to steal it out of the kiln.

I didn't think he even realized I was in
my class.

I mean, you and Farrah were always
huddled in a corner doing something.

Yeah, we had our moments.

Yeah, she and I had our moments, too.

Or a moment.

Say no more. I totally understand.

He hasn't moved in two hours.

He must look like crazy people sitting
around like we're in some movie drug

bust. Crazy people, truth seekers, all
just labels, right?

So your dad is moving in somewhere
around here?

Yep. He helped him move his boxes this
morning.

Sorry. It's fine.

That's what's next.

He's afraid.

Hey, where are you going?

Don't. What? You cannot post those
photos.

Of course we can. This will blow the
roof off the school.

No. It's not like Tripp's some great
guy. It doesn't matter what he's done in

the past. It would never warrant you
doing something this shitty to him.

It's a huge story. Yeah, but it's not
your story.

The kid's clearly in crisis.

He's probably going through enough
without us making this a whole thing for

schools to talk about. Let it go.

I'm sorry. I

didn't mean to be, like, a tyrant about
the photos at all. No.

I get it.

And you're right.

I

can't

believe I have to come back here
tomorrow and help my dad move in.

What time are you driving then?

I don't know. I think noon -ish or
something.

Maybe you want to get some breakfast in
the morning?

Sure. Teenagers have to be good liars.

We have no choice.

We have to put on a face that shows the
world we are the person on our

Instagram.

It's all one big act.

Because everyone is dealing with
something.

Did you ever figure out who sent that
video to your mom?

I know what you're doing, and we're not
talking about that.

Trying to be your friend.

Well, that's not the way to do it.

Really, the best any of us can do is
pretend we're cool with all of it.

So you've got to keep floating.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

Just don't let them see beneath the
water.

Oh cool.

I need to know her secret.

Daddy!
