Hey, Hun.

Man on phone.
Sorry about what happened.

No, no, no, all good.

We're gonna miss
you at the game.

Yeah, if I'm home by nine,
we can have a late supper,

if that sounds good.

Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good.

Hello?

Hey! Oh.

Hi. Oh, watch out,
don't drop the chicken.

Oh, the chicken.

Oh, the chicken.
Look out. The chicken!

Grocery store chicken!

Be careful. Got it!

Bedtime now, Grace.

Stay up too late
and look like a mess tomorrow

and I've got to buy
the concealer.

Police!

Come on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Police.

- Elizabeth Fenwick?
- What is this?

Ma'am, you'll want to
get dressed. Go with her.

What are you guys doing here?

- Do you guys have a warrant?
- They have the wrong house.

Yeah, you've got
the wrong house.

We just moved here like
six months ago from Columbus.

- Here's the warrant, sir.
- She didn't do anything wrong.

And there are questions
about this evening.

She's been here since dinner.

It was grocery store chicken.

What are you doing
with my mom? Mom? Mom!

- Is she being arrested?
- Sir, is this your gun?

- What?
- Oh, my God!

- Mom!
- Be quiet, Jackson.

No, no, I, I... no, this is
not ours. Did you bring this?

This is a false arrest.

Mom!

Good Lord, Jackson,
I'm right here.

I'll go straighten this all
out, okay? This is a mistake.

I was just telling
Officer Peggy,

I know what this is about.

This is about my
daughter, Grace.

What? Mom, what are
you talking about?

And she got involved in some
small-town frenzy.

You know, someone saw you out
there tonight,

they didn't like that
you got let on the team.

You're gonna have
to come with us.

- No!
- It's okay, buddy.

She'll be home by
the time you wake up.

I will. I'm gonna straighten
this all out, okay?

- I'm coming willingly.
- No, Mom!

You, you didn't anything.
Don't let them!

- Guys, this is a mistake!
- I'll make some calls.

She didn't do anything wrong!

You guys are
making a mistake.

It's a big mistake!

What did she do?

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight.

Pivot, turn, right.

Down, smile, and hold it.

Damn it, I went left.

Which I could see
on your face.

You know what?
Turn wrong at the tryouts,

honestly they might not notice
if you keep smiling, okay?

It's all about how
you carry yourself.

Carry yourself like
you're the best,

and they'll believe it,
and then you'll believe it.

I was smiling. Check it?

Mm-hmm. An apology smile.

Oh, come here, I wanted
to show you this.

All right, look at this.

See there?

There, see that? That's a smile.

That's a smile that says
"I'm the best."

You know, that,
that even if everybody else

goes left and you go right,

you make 'em believe that
everyone else got it wrong.

You know, I just, I wish
that they did baton work.

I can twirl like a demon.

Yeah, I know, Hun,
but they don't.

All right, let's go
again from the top.

Wait, wait, mercy.
I need a minute.

Okay.

You know,
I'm glad we moved back.

I wasn't so sure
but now I'm glad.

You know, you can be on
the same team I was on,

you can go to the same
school I went to.

You know, maybe you
could even be prom queen.

Wouldn't that be a legacy?

I bet the paper would
even do a piece on it.

Okay, Mom, calm down.

You know, the whole
prom queening thing,

it's just not really my thing.

I like this town, though.

I mean, I made some good friends

and I've already
got a boyfriend.

Hmm. Don't get too serious
too fast, like I did.

Hey, treasure these years, okay?

They are the best
they'll ever get.

You know, if I don't
make it on the team,

I'm sure Mr. Foster
will give me extra hours

at the ice cream store.
- No, no, no stop it.

Which will be good,
I'll make more money.

Stop it. Don't think like
a loser. You're gonna get in.

And with all the hours I've
spent helping you with this,

you'd better.

You know, I was um,

I had thought uh,
my old uniform's somewhere.

They've changed it a little bit,
but wouldn't that be a hoot?

You auditioning
in my old uniform?

Oh, uh, I dunno. I just...

don't know if it would...

feel like that would be...

Okay, yeah.
Actually it's a terrible idea.

I mean, it'd probably
be too small anyway.

But I mean, what we
picked is already perfect.

It's a little more forgiving
and um...

all right,
let's go from the top.

Ready?

Five, six, and seven, eight.

One, two, three, and four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Big smile. Keep it up!

Hold it! Hold it. Hold it.

Damn, she's good.

Thanks.

Um, but you're good, too.
You're probably even better.

Besides, you're gonna do great.
You're gonna get in.

And you're gonna
have so much fun.

Hannah Lee was on the team
the last two years.

Why is she even here?

My mom says that everyone has
to try out every year.

Even Hannah
has to earn her spot.

Which, might I point out,
she absolutely just did.

- You're just as good, Gracie.
- I am not. I am not.

You're good enough.

Okay, let's go with that.

I dunno.

My mom's kinda been...

she helps me out a lot,

which is awesome because
she's really good.

But she kinda got
in my head this time.

My mom was a star
and I'm not her.

You're you. That's way better.

There you go. Always works.

Grace Fenwick?

Is Grace here?

I'm here.

Oh, sorry,
they're having tryouts.

Only students
and coaches can come in.

Oh, I used to go here.
Elizabeth Cooper.

Well, I was then.

Yeah, I was kind of um...

how old are you?

You might remember me.
I was the head dancer.

- Oh.
- And now my daughter is--

Sorry. Current students.
Can't let ya in.

Oh yeah, we've got the snacks
up next

and refreshments.

Ma'am.

Well, excuse me very much.

I'm leaving.

Wait, so she was here?
Like, right there?

Yeah. I, I saw her little
face in between the balls

and it threw me off.

If I saw her face
between the balls,

that would throw me off, too.

Dude, ew.

Even if she did throw you off,

I mean, she can't be mad
because you were thrown off.

Which you weren't.

Because you were great.

They'd be crazy
not to take you.

You're a born dancer.
Grace is your middle name.

Which is weird because
it's also your first name.

What's bugging you, anyway?

I mean, you weren't even chuffed
about being on the team,

and they don't have
a baton team.

Chuffed?
We're saying chuffed now?

I'm not.

Honestly, I don't even care.

She thought that she would
get an insurance job easy.

But she didn't.

So now, basically all
she has is like,

writing negative product
reviews online and this.

I guess it's making
her kinda, I don't know.

She's not really nuts,
right? I mean--

It's from Coach Megan.

Okay. You got this.

Okay. In or out.

Mom? Mom.

Mom, did you hear me?

They said that it was really
close but I, I just...

Yeah, I heard.

They said I should
try again next year.

No!

No, you're on it this year.

But Mom, I didn't make it.

- This year.
- I didn't make--

What? Mom, th-that doesn't...

- I'm gonna fix this.
- My favorite ladies okay?

- Not now, Steve.
- Later, Dad.

Nope.
It's no man's land, buddy.

Mom, please, don't make
a big deal out of this, okay?

I'm new here.
I don't have that many friends.

And I just--

It's the principle, okay?
There was something you wanted.

Mom, I don't really care.

There was something of value.
Something you earned.

And didn't get.

That's an injustice.

Mom, it's really embarrassing
when you try to fix things

for me that I don't--
- You want to hear embarrassing?

Do you know the school
used to have a dress code?

Can you imagine?

Skirts on the girls,
pants on the boys.

Yeah. Well, I set out
to fix that

because, as I'll remind you,
this wasn't the 1950s.

So, I made a big stink.

And just when I had
everyone listening,

the principal called my mom

and asked her if she
was backing me up on this.

And she said no.

You know, she said that she
liked skirts on girls.

Thanks, Mom,
that's hardly the point.

And the kicker is, she denied
it 'til the day she died.

She gaslit me.

Mom, this isn't the same.

I'll tell you
how it's the same.

If they're telling you you're
not good enough for this team,

they're gaslighting.

And here's how it's different.

You have a mom who's
willing to stand by you.

Mom, sometimes,

the more you try to fix
something for me,

the more it can get
really, really messy.

Well, part of growing up
is pushing through the mess.

You know, if you don't stand up
for what you deserve,

you'll be a doormat
your whole life.

And then every time, I have
to step in, and you know,

I don't think you want me
fixing your life when you're 30.

Oh, honey.

I hear you, I do.

Okay? And I promise I won't make
too big a thing of it. Okay?

This is an injustice

that could well shape
the rest of my daughter's life.

Before I make my case,

I just want to quickly note

that while my family and I
just moved here from the city,

I grew up here.

I went to the high school.

When Coach Megan and two
of the other dance judges

were on the dance team,
I was the head dancer.

And I just wanna say that
you know, some people

like to put their energy
into balancing out the scales.

But that's enough
said about that.

Every year, there are
15 Thresherettes.

We're all treating that

like it's some kind
of God-given truth.

But in 1970, there were 20
girls out on that field.

In 1943, there were 32.

Imagine that.
Somehow they made it work.

You know, luckily, football
fields are quite large.

But then in 1973,

someone set a limit,
15 lucky girls.

And every year, more than 15
girls want to be on that time.

The Thresherettes
are essentially

an unlimited resource that we've
turned into a limited resource,

for no good reason.

But hey, no harm done.
Right? Right?!

Well, this is from the
Thresherettes' own website.

"Former Thresherettes thrive.

More Thresherettes go to college

than among others
in their class.

On average,
they have a 10 percent higher

GPA than their peers.

More go on to
successful careers."

This. This, this improved status

is what my daughter
has been denied.

And I saw some of you
roll your eyes when I said

that this could hurt my daughter
for the rest of her life.

You are denying my daughter
a chance at a better future.

And that is the injustice.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If no one else as a comment,

will everyone please
step into the hallway

so the board can confer?

Oh, watch out,
here comes trouble.

- Elizabeth.
- Megan.

That was very passionate.

Thank you.

I'm sure you know that we
don't have a head dancer.

We never did.

Well, I was front row middle,
you know what that means.

You were right there, behind me.

No one's trying to
balance any scales.

Oh, come off it.

You have been trying
to tear me down for years.

You saw me at the top
of the cat train.

You've been trying
to claw your way up.

Elizabeth Cooper,
I have not thought of you

from one year to the other.

You're still living
in high school.

Cooper? Cooper. I

haven't been
Elizabeth Cooper since--

Who's still living
in high school?

Hey, Mom, we should just...

Okay, look.
Head up high, okay.

Get that smile ready. Okay?

These people are jerks
and they're out to get us.

All right, just don't let them
see that it hurts. Okay?

We're prepared
with our ruling.

Ow, Mom, that hurts.

The vote was unanimous.

Your daughter will be
accepted as a member

of the Thresherettes
dance team.

Congratulations.

Quiet, please. There's more.

Oh, no.

Mrs. Fenwick's case
that being excluded

from the team does harm,

harm that we are in
a position to mitigate,

is a good case.

In that light,

all of the young women who were
rejected from the Thresherettes

in the current school year

are hereby granted membership

in the team
for this school year.

Mom, that's amazing.
Congratulations.

Mom, that's awesome.

Mrs. Fenwick,
that was amazing.

Oh.

I didn't think
it could be done.

Thank you, I really didn't ever
think I'd get on that team.

Well, I was happy to do it.

And I know you're
gonna be great.

Thank you.

I didn't do this.
We did this.

Thank you, everyone.

Let's get outta here.

Okay, that was impressive.

It was crap.

Okay? They turned it into crap.

But you won, right?

Come on, can't either of you
guess why I might be upset?

Because the other
girls got in?

Yes, because
the other girls got in.

You know, what I said is true.
The alums do better.

But why is that true?

It's because
the Thresherettes are exclusive.

You know, they're competitive.

Throw everybody in
and it's just meaningless.

It's the difference between
a dog park and a dog show.

One of them doesn't
let the mutts in.

- Honey!
- Come on, you know it's true.

You know, you see
that girl Jeanie?

What is she, like six feet tall?

How's that gonna
look in the line?

It's gonna look like garbage.

You know I, I mean then Grace

is gonna be in the middle
bouncing around

like some charity case,

just thrown a bone with
the rest of the proven losers.

Who are you texting?
This is family time.

Tyler. He wanted to
know how it went.

Oh.

I knock myself out up there.

I turn the world over and who's
she talking to? Tyler.

Yeah, because he really
cares about any of this.

I heard that,
and of course he cares.

- He's super supportive.
- Oh, super supportive.

Honey, you did
really good in there.

Look, I know you didn't get
exactly what you wanted

but you showed them exactly
who they're dealing with.

Come on, babe, you're
a force of nature.

Well, there's four weeks
'til school starts.

Five 'til the first game,
first performance.

You know, I don't have a job.
Got nothing but time.

Time to be super supportive.

This is so awkward.

It'll be fine.

A week from now, no one
will remember who was original

and who got added.

That one's really tall.

A week is a really
long time, okay?

I could die of embarrassment
about a million times

in one week.

How are you doing?

Uh, I'm great.

I wanted to say
I watched you try out

and I thought you
deserved to be here.

You did?

See?

Oh, you all know
each other, right?

I endured 8th Grade
trigonometry with Tyler. Hi.

We know each other
tangentially.

Eh... no.

That was a trig joke. Okay.

You did amazing.
Uh, you all did.

I saw you watching tryouts.

I saw you over there doing
a little seat dancing.

Do you wanna try out too?
Maybe next year?

Uh it's, it's not
really my thing.

But thanks for
thinking that I could.

Well, think about it, okay?

Okay.

Um, well, I gotta go.

Okay, love you.

And... thanks.

So, is uh, Coach Megan here?

No, they have my mom
acting as a temp coach

'til they can replace her.

Coach Megan's gone?

Resigned.

Said she couldn't stay

after the school board
didn't support her decision.

Oh. Wow, that's um...

I'm so sorry.

I don't wanna hear that.

No sorrys from you.
You've done nothing wrong.

Your mom made
a really good point

and we're delighted to have
you on the team, darling.

This is my mom, Nicole Li.

You can call me Nicole.
Or Coach Nicole, for now.

Okay, I'll um,
I'll do my best.

This is Tyler.

Hi.

Okay, let's get started.
Come on over.

See? You're gonna be fine.

Thank you.

Tomorrow?

Always.

- Okay, bye.
- Bye.

Excuse you.

I don't know, Dad.

I used to love her
helping me with dance

and caring about my life

because if she got her nose
too much into it

I could just tell her
to back off.

But now,
there's no backing off.

Well, just be patient.

She didn't wanna move back here.

When the dealership made me
the offer, she pushed back,

but it was too good to say no.

Why does she hate it
here so much, though?

I mean, she was
hot stuff here, right?

Yeah, you know,

but being back here with
no job yet and no friends,

her wheels are just spinning,
and they're not on the ground,

so they just keep
spinning and spinning.

That's kinda terrifying.

There's the dryer.
I got it!

Grace, it's okay

because she's gonna find
her traction and then zoom,

you know, all that energy's
gonna be shooting her forward

instead of just
flying everywhere.

Yeah, I hope so.

Patience.

Boing!

Jackson, off the bed.
I mean it.

Boing! Boing!

Stop it, Jackson.
Seriously, off the bed.

I'm a jumping bean,
take my picture.

Off the bed. Jackson, stop.
Please, get off.

Boing! Boing!

Grace,
come here, please!

- Jackson, ugh!
- Grace!

What are you doing
in my closet?

It is time to get rid of
anything that is too small.

- They're incentive clothes.
- And how is that working out?

Oh, don't pout.

Come on, we're gonna get you
all new things for school.

Okay? Um, just pull
out anything

that doesn't zip
or that is generally hideous.

So, is she calling
herself Coach Nicole?

Yeah, I mean, she said it once

but I guess she said it
like she wasn't used to it.

It'll stick if she stays.

You know,
she was a year after me.

Amazing she thinks
she's above me now.

Coach. Hmm.

I mean, she's worse than Megan.

At least she had the honesty
to step down in disgrace.

Oh, Mom, I think
I wanna keep those jeans.

Well, if you think you
can breathe in them.

So, I guess you're just gonna
have to make do now, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

Hey, you know, um,

I wanted to talk to you about
something else. Come here.

What is it?

So, I just want
you to be prepared.

Honey,

I think Tyler might

move on from you.

What? What did you hear? How?

I didn't hear anything,
it's just...

experience.

I don't understand.

This shoddy business

of putting all the low-talent
girls on the team,

it's made being
on the team meaningless.

Worse than meaningless.

Look, I'm not saying that
Tyler's only going to want

the popular girl.

But you know, there's a vibe
that surrounds winners

and a vibe that
surrounds losers.

That's crazy, Mom!
This is nuts!

No, it isn't. Listen to me.

Okay, high school is when you
get locked into the way

you're gonna be seen for
the rest of your life, okay?

You may wanna change it but
people are always gonna remember

how you were at 15, 16, 17,

and they're gonna carry that.

In here.

Okay, Ben Martin,
from the drugstore,

he wore his pajamas
to school one day.

You know, Jennie Lehman,
your homeroom teacher,

she forgot her lines in the
school play and started crying.

Okay, right now you're getting
known as the pity dancer.

Become the mayor of the town

and you'll still be
the pity dancer.

And that's seeping
into Tyler's mind.

No. No, Mom, that, that,
that's crazy.

And it's not true.

Tyler knows me.

And he's always been
so supportive.

He would do anything to protect
me, just like you would.

He's not the same.

Grace! Ow!

They're for my daughter.

Does she like
something dramatic?

I'm looking for less dramatic,
more distracting.

Big breakup on the horizon.

I see it, even if she doesn't.

Boys, right?

Oh, you aren't allowed to--

Oh, these things are stupid,
okay? You can't tell a thing.

Well, those do
look great on you.

You should get those
just for you.

Yeah. You know what?
I'll take 'em.

Just wish I could do
more for her, you know?

This boyfriend of hers.
Ugh, what a bad choice he was.

I could just strangle him.

I heard a new thing today.

Lawnmower mom.

Mess with their kid
and they'll mow you down.

Yeah, I like that.

Thanks for that.

I'm gonna use it.

Okay, let's do the
chair routine.

Who is scared?

Don't be scared.

Everyone grab a chair.

Seven.

Oh, are there enough?

I was told
there was enough.

Oh, um, it's probably those
chairs for the new girls.

Makes sense.

That's not right.

We're all on the team now,
so we are the same.

Hannah's right.

First row, you go grab
the folding chairs

and I'll make sure everyone gets
a good one as soon as I can.

Even space apart.

- Thanks, girl.
- Of course.

Great, just like that.

Good, that's gonna be awesome.

Okay, Mom this is kind of fun.

Like we used to do.

Oh, look at these,
bling-a bling, bling.

First day of school, you walk
in, all eyes on you. Magic.

What are these,
Mom, a double zero?

I'm a four if I skip my latte.

I thought you were talking to
me about incentive clothing?

Right, but that's
for keeping old clothes,

not for buying new ones.

Okay, fine.

You know, I think at any size,

you could pull off a much
more interesting look.

It's all about carrying
yourself with confidence.

Right. I would be carrying
myself with confidence

to the principal's office
in this, though.

There are rules.

Well, rules are for
rule followers, okay.

You can be a trend setter.
You'll try it on.

So, I guess that choreo's
all messed up now, huh?

You guys still doing
the chair routine?

Uh, yeah.

I mean, the girls keep hitting
each other with all their chairs

'cause there are so many of us.

It's kind of funny.

But you know, I...

I could always quit if you
think that it's too messed up.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Not with how hard
I worked on that. No.

And I'm still working to
turn this all around, okay?

This?

You mean for ugly sweater day?

Hey, with the right attitude,

every day can be
ugly sweater day.

And Tyler? How's that?

It's good.

Why, did you think you'd be
saying, "I told you so?"

Because no,
Tyler and I are great.

Well, I don't say
I told you so.

I think it. I don't say it.

Okay, here, go try these on.

Here, I'll hold your phone.

- Okay.
- Go.

Hearts? Ooh.

The thing about
a high pressure job

in the ice cream scooping
industry

is that they are relentless
about being on time.

So, I can't really
try on everything.

Here's the first one, though.

Oh, no. You were right. Uh-uh.

Whoa!

The hell, man?
You almost hit me!

Oh, come on.

What was that?

You're fine.
Didn't even touch you.

So, did you get Grace's text?

Uh, yeah I got the text.

But Grace didn't
send it, did she?

You sent it.

And I think that's weird
and not appropriate.

That's how you talk to adults?

And I think it's very
appropriate for me to wonder

about the character of the boy
my daughter is seeing.

We're not getting married.

Oh, triggered much?

I can see by
the look on your face

you're ready to run away
in your ridiculous, cheap ass,

faux vintage bicycle.

You know, I was looking to see

if you were
a stand up kinda guy.

But I guess now
we both know, you're not.

The things they make me do.

Here you go. Enjoy.

Your mom is nuts.

Uh-huh, we have
talked about this.

She al--

She just kinda... cornered me.

And did you see the text?

What?

Look at the last
thing you sent me.

Oh, my God, I, I didn't...

She had my phone.

Look, this is way
too weird for me.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- Grace, seriously.

No, no, no, stop, okay?

She was probably just making a
joke. I don't know.

She's not normally like this.

But I promise you,
I will talk to her.

Please just hold on with me.

Okay, it was a one-time thing
and I will fix this.

You know I'm worth it, right?

You're... worth a lot.

Don't forget
the side benefits.

The free ice cream.

And if you play your cards
right, there might be cones.

You're smiling.
It's a good thing, right?

Hey, we okay?

Keep her mitts off your
phone and we're okay.

Okay.

Tomorrow?

Always.

Okay.

What did you say to Tyler?

Well, I happened to see him
on his bike. We talked.

No, about the text.

You just had to prove
that you were right.

Oh, honey.

He dumped you, didn't he?

And please notice,
I am not saying I told you so.

You just did.

Well, he gets one ambiguous
text and he runs away?

You know, one mention
of the word marriage

and he packs his bags

and somehow I'm the villain
for exposing this?

He didn't run away.

And he still isn't running away

because Mom,
Tyler is a good guy.

A good guy?

Tyler Tulsi
isn't even a good try.

You bought yourself a week,
maybe two,

but he's out the door.

And mark my words,
I did you a favor,

like I always do.

You act like all I do
is make bad choices.

Do you want a list?

AP chemistry, fail.

Backless dress
for junior prom?

Where's the bra strap
supposed to go?

What about the guitar you
forgot for your guitar recital?

- An oversight.
- Yeah, they're all oversights.

What about the three times you
ate almonds and swelled up?

Or the time you
cut your own hair?

I was ten!

And every time,
I have to clean it up.

I have to make the excuses.
I have to call the parents.

I have to drive you to the ER.
I have to call the salon.

How do you just have this list

of all the things
that I've done wrong?

Do you just lie awake at night
thinking about all this?

I do! I do.

I lie awake worrying about you.

You know, it's time
that you grew up

because you carry
yourself like a loser

but then you're
surprised when you lose.

So, she sent that
like it was from you?

Yeah. And then when I
confronted her about it,

she acted like it was justified
because he freaked out.

Which I only did briefly.

Right. You only
freaked our briefly.

But then she called me a loser

so it's pretty much my life.

That's cold.

Wait, how do you
have homework?

It's not even day one yet.

Is she okay?

That's the thing.

My mom has always
been one of those

she's also my
best friend kind of moms.

She would listen to me.
Like, really, really listen.

Which I guess you guys
don't know about

because everything changed
as soon as we moved here.

You know what? My mom always
talked about how embarrassed

she was by her mom.

But now, that's literally me.

Don't worry. School's fine.

Dance club is fine.

And we're fine.
Let's put it behind us.

Okay.

Aw.

You two are like a fairytale.

Okay, let's go to class.

Jeanie, looking good! Great!

Grace, nice form!

Listen to the beat.
It's there for a reason.

Yes, that works.

Zero collisions.

Kneecaps, chairs all intact,
and it's adorable.

Everybody remember your blocking
and I'll see you here tomorrow.

And congratulations on surviving
your first week of school!

Thanks for the support.

You can sit on me anytime.

Oh look, you shadow's here.

You're lucky.
You've got a good one.

Someone's jealous.

Hardly. I've seen your cosign.

Oh?

You coming to the thing later?

Of course. I love pizza.

You're so corny.

Sticking to her
like a dirty sock.

Hey, everyone, if I could
just have your attention.

I just want to give
a big thank you

to the support staff
for making it all possible.

And to the volunteer parents.

And also, of course,
to you girls.

I know we had a few challenges

but every single girl here

has proven that they
deserve to be here

and I could not be more proud.

Tomorrow night,
we get to let everyone see

what we've been working on,

and I cannot wait
to hear the applause.

So, everyone celebrate. Enjoy.
And mangia!

Oh, here.

Oh, okay.

Mm, oh, too much cheese.

In a wig?

My mom went to school
at the same time as her.

Totally recognized her.

Said it wasn't even a good wig.

And did you see
the text she sent?

- Ooh, with the wedding dress?
- Yes.

What's going on?
Everyone playing nice?

- Mm-hmm.
- Ignore them.

Practically ran
Tyler over with her car.

Grace, you okay?

- Did she actually just leave?
- She did.

Grace. Ignore them.

Bria and Bekka are jerks.

But what are they
even talking about?

A wig?

Your mom is not wearing
a disguise to follow you around.

Of course not, but how did
they know about the text?

The wedding dress?

And what the hell are they
talking about?

They think she ran you
over with her car?

Um...

What?

She just sort of...

ran me off the road.

With the car.

But you, you said that
she just cornered you.

Um, yeah. With a car.

And the text,

I think my mom sort of

leaked that on
to a mom text chain.

This cannot keep going on.

My mom is ruining my life.

Speak of the mom.

I gotta talk to her.

Hash things out.

Okay.

Okay, do whatever
you need to do. Okay?

You drive. Good practice.

I can't believe
you have Murray for French.

She was old
when I was in her class.

I can't wait to hear
who you have for homeroom.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

Oh. I got you a donut.

There you go.

Thanks.

So, I heard they got
rid of the chairs.

Uh, yeah, just for
the end of the routine.

Hmm.

How did you hear that?

It gets around.

Right. Stuff does get around.

And Coach Nicole's
daughter, Hannah,

she's sitting on your knee?

Hey, Mom, can you move that
donut? I, I just ate and...

people are starting
to talk about the--

Yeah, you know
what that tells me?

The chair thing,
her sitting on you,

it tells me that
they see you like furniture.

You know, they're
treating you like furniture.

Making the girls sit on you.
Sit on you, you know.

Like, I mean, you have
to be blind not to see it.

Their asses are on you!

Okay, it, it's really
not like that.

Oh, and Queen Hannah
and her mom.

I mean, they're laughing at us.

You know, they think
that we wanna be like them.

- Damn swarm of bees.
- Stop it, Mom!

Whoa! Grace Ellen!

You're making
everything worse, okay?

You're making
everything terrible.

Take a deep breath, okay?
You're all over the road.

You can't keep trying to run
my life like this, okay?

You know what I'm hearing?

You spied on practices.

And you tried to run over Tyler.

Okay, I ran him down.
I did not run him over.

I told you not to do anything.

Okay, you have to
let me live my own life.

I tried, okay,
that's how we got here.

You live your own life,
you make mistakes.

You associate with bad people
who take advantage of you.

I mean, you cringe and smile
and let people use you.

Then let me!

Let me make my own mistakes!

Oh, like my mom did?
No guidance, no help?

Just a house full of trash?
Just letting me date whoever?

No, I will not apologize
for helping you.

Okay, and here's the help.
Get rid of Tyler.

I know a shoddy product
when I see one.

And Hannah and her mom, too.

Mom, Tyler is good to me!

I mean, seriously,
give me one good reason

that Tyler is so terrible.

He even passed your stupid test.

I didn't want him to pass my
test, I wanted him to leave!

I knew it. I...

I knew that, Mom.

You wanna be the only
person who cares about me.

The only person
that I can rely on.

What, so... so that I have
no one else to talk to?

I am the only one
you can rely on!

Grace.

Listen.

I didn't want to tell you this.

Tyler is cheating on you.

What?

With your supposed
new best friend, Hannah.

The one that
sits on you like furniture.

They're together
and they're laughing at you.

And I have proof.

Come on in.

Sweet set up.

Uh, thanks.

With seven younger siblings,
we're kinda forced to share.

So, I didn't wanna text since

if anything accidently gets
into Grace's phone...

It gets to Mom.

Right. Which is scary.

You see her more than me.
Is she really nuts?

She's not not nuts.

Everything she does.

You know she tries to make
Grace thinks no one likes her?

That we're all like,
tricking her?

We love Grace. That's crazy.

And that's the answer
to your own question.

Okay, well that
totally sets up my idea.

I thought of something
we could do for her

but I need you to bring us
something of hers.

If it's her hairs
and fingernails

for a pagan curse,
I'm right out.

It's not. It's good.
You'll see.

Right after practice tomorrow.

♪ I'mma blow your mind
with the victory ♪

Woo! That was great.

Okay, hold on, everyone.
I have an announcement.

I know it's last minute but
we're gonna change some things.

Oh, my God,
those are my batons.

They were in my basement.

I heard you were kind of
a wiz with these things.

We've never used them before
but you're gonna be our first.

The bit at the end
where everyone is arms up,

we're gonna switch it
to arms down,

except for Grace.

She's gonna take
a big step forward

and give us a big,
high baton toss, okay?

Crowd pleasing spotlight moment.

You've earned it.

Oh, my God, thank you.
Yes. Thank you so much.

Thank you all so much.

You knew.

You knew and you
got my batons for me.

I cannot affirm or deny.

Well, the listing doesn't say

that you're promoting
from within,

it says that it's open.

Okay, okay, fine.

You were wrong.

Well, hello to you, too.
Hi, Mom. How was your day?

Oh, it's great. I'm trying
this new pasta cooker.

Mom, it's so inspiring how
you're always trying new things.

Look, Tyler and Hannah
did hang out, okay.

And if you really think
that you have proof,

that's all that it proves.

Mom, they were planning
a surprise, just for me.

I bet.
Hey, is this done? Try it.

Ew, not even remotely.

This damn thing
isn't worth a damn.

Mom, did you hear me?

They're giving me that big
spotlight moment

at the opening game.

I mean, Tyler even surprised
me by bringing me my baton.

And it was such
a perfect moment.

He was in our basement?

Look, Mom, the point is,

is not only is Tyler
not cheating on me,

the team also believes in me

and they feel like
I belong there,

which is what you said would
make you happy all along, right?

All their hands go down
and mine go up

and it's all attention--

Set up.

What?

Set up. It's a set up.

They're setting you up.

What are you talking about?

Well, it's like
that movie, Carrie.

You remember we saw that movie?

They take some loser,

and they make her think
she's having some fancy moment

in the spotlight and then they
dump pig's blood all over her.

Or something. You know what?
It happens all the time.

Pig's blood?

Well, not actual pig's blood.
That was in the movie. But it...

You know, like,
laughing and pointing.

Enough is enough.
You need to quit that team.

What?

Well, it was your idea.
You've said it numerous times.

No, but you told me
to stay in.

Mom, I can't quit now, I'd
be letting down the whole team.

You know, I have tried
and tried and tried to fix this

but I cannot fix
everything you break!

I did not break this, Mom!

You're the one that's
making everything go wrong.

Listen, Tyler said that if
you just let me handle things--

Oh, Tyler says. Tyler says.
Do you hear yourself?

I mean, he's got
you so brainwashed!

Both of you.
You and Queen Hannah!

And those two, I'm telling you,
they are laughing,

they're blowing each
other kisses.

You're just making
stuff up, Mom.

I, I mean, you
genuinely cannot handle

anything good happening to me
unless you handed it to me.

You hint that
I need to lose weight

and then you're handing
me cookies and donuts. Why?

Just to prove that
I have no self-control?

You said it. I didn't.

That's... Mom, that's nuts.

You know, I think I'm finally
starting to get you.

If something goes wrong for me,
you're just a little bit happy

because it proves that
I'm a screwup, right?

But if something
goes right for me,

then you just have to
ruin my life on purpose.

- That's insane.
- Yeah!

Yeah, Mom, it, it is insane.

You've been ruining my life
and then pretending to fix it.

You say that you're
a lawnmower mom.

But you're a landmine.

Who told you that?

Was it Coach Nicole?

Or was it Tyler?
Or Tyler and Hannah?

Look, I'm telling you,
those two are doing it, okay?

I'm gonna prove it.

They're not gonna like it,
but I'm gonna prove it!

Mom, stop
it! You're being crazy!

And if you love me at all,
don't do anything!

And most importantly,

don't come to the game.

Don't go to the game?

You heard me.

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!

Shoddy! Shoddy! Shoddy!

Shoddy.

This does seem really solid.

Perfect for personal defense.

I'll take it.

I need to protect my family.

Let me get the paper.

It's opening day
for the Threshers football team,

facing off against
the Marsh Town Bobcats

tonight at seven.

Hop on over to catch
a pop, a dog,

and the premiere performance of
this year's Thresherettes.

Tyler?

Tyler!

Tyler?

Anyone?

Damn it.

Of course he's not home.

He's with her.

Are you in there little
Mr. Tyler Man?

Hannah, we have to
be out of here in 20!

I gotta be on the field a half
hour before anyone else!

'Cause you know,
if I'm not there

they're not gonna put
out the right chairs.

Oh, and the cat barfed
in the kitchen

and I stepped in it so
I'm gonna borrow your shoes!

Hannah, are you hearing me?

Damn it, where did
I put my phone?

Oh.

Oh, hell. What is this?

Hannah?

I just got a text from Grace.

Can you take a look at it
and tell me if it's real?

Hi.

Is uh, is Tyler here?

Tyler? Tyler Tulsi?

Or uh, Hannah. Is Hannah here?

I'm sorry, who are you?

Oh, my god, Mom, I
can't hear what you're saying

from up there.

It's just all yell, yell, yell.

We have um,
and she's asking for you.

Um... yeah. I mean, hello.

Who are you again?

You're gonna help me.

You know Tyler, right?
You're with Tyler?

- Oh, my God.
- What do you want?

We have money.
We have money in the house.

Are you running from
something, the police?

We can let you out the back.

Let my mom go.

No, no, no. Let my daughter
go. She won't tell anyone.

No, we, we won't tell anyone.

Neither of us are gonna say
anything if you leave.

We're gonna go for a ride.

No, never get in the car.
Never get in the car.

My mom has bare feet.

You can't make her go out on
the gravel and the car.

What if there's glass?

My shoes, they're
just in the kitchen.

I can just go grab them.

The cat barfed
and I stepped in it.

It was everywhere.
It was a mess.

Stop talking!

All right, go get your shoes.

Run, Mom! Run! Get help!

Ah!

Okay. Okay.

Is she coming back?

You're Grace's mom.

No.

Yes, you are, Mrs. Fenwick.

My God, why are you doing this?

Because it needs to be done.

Okay, I don't need her.
I need you.

You're the one that can
get me to Tyler.

Come on, let's go.
We're going for that ride.

Let's go.
Open the door. Open it.

My, my mom's probably at
one of the neighbors' now.

We could go find her.
Don't you want her too?

No, no, no, no, no.
You're all I need. Let's go.

Let's go, get in the car.
You young people, I swear.

You make it like no one's time
means anything but your own.

Get in the car. Get in the car.

You can't run faster
than a bullet.

I could shout.

You can't shout faster
than a bullet either.

In! In, in, in.

Come on, Mrs. Fenwick.
You aren't going to shoot me.

Once we find Tyler
then you're together,

you can both come clean.

Okay? I know you've
been sneaking around.

Everyone knows it.

All right, get in the car.
I'm not gonna say it again.

Get in.

There.

Okay, now buckle up.

Call the police, please! Help!

Somebody, help!

Help me! Somebody help me!

Somebody call the police!
Somebody call the police!

Dad...

she did it again.
I didn't send this text.

Ooh, what's it say?

Shh, buddy,
let the ladies work it out.

Dad she told Coach Nicole
that I quit the team!

Ha! That's crazy.

I mean, nobody's gonna believe
that you're quitting the team

on the night of the game.

Damn it, damn it, damn it,
I gotta call the coach.

She's not picking up.
Why is she not picking up?

Okay, just calm down.
Breathe, all right?

I mean, maybe she's just swamped
setting everything up.

I mean, these games are really
big deals in these small towns.

I'm from Columbus.

Yes, you are, buddy.
Big city fella in the car.

Why is Mom texting anyway?

Is she gonna come to the game?
Is she gonna do something?

No, honey.
Listen, I talked to her.

She heard you about not
coming to tonight's game

and she gets why
it's a good idea.

She knows she got carried away
and that she needs to step back.

And that text, listen, you know,
maybe that's just her

blowing off the last
little bit of steam.

Or maybe that text just got
caught in the tubes, you know?

I mean, nobody's gonna believe
you're quitting tonight, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

Okay, so listen honey,
I'm gonna park the car

and then we'll give her a call
and we'll check in, all right?

Okay, yeah. Yeah, thanks.

But Dad, where is she?

I mean, where, where did she go?

You don't have to do this.

I can just tell you,
Tyler and I aren't anything.

He's with Grace
and she's my friend.

Some friend.

This is my husband. Be quiet.

Hey, Hun.

Hey, sorry about
what happened with you.

No, no, no, all good.

We're gonna miss
you at the game.

Uh, yeah. If I'm home by 9PM,

we can have a late supper,
if that sounds good.

Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good.

Um, Grace said that you
sent a text to the coach?

Yeah.

Tell Grace I'm sorry, okay.
I didn't mean it.

Yeah, okay.
Okay, will do. I love you.

Okay, love you all. Have fun.

- Later.
- How about me?

Okay, buddy.

Dad?

She's okay, all right?

She said she's sorry
and that she loves you, okay.

Listen, Hun, I just think that
being back here in this town,

you know,
she was such a big deal

and it just got her
all riled up.

And you know, I just...

Listen, she was a big star

and I just think it's all
gotten to her, you know?

So, you talked to her,
you called her out.

She heard you.

She's gonna be okay.

- Okay, yeah.
- Okay?

- Thanks for calling her.
- Well, of course.

All right, now let's go inside
and show 'em our team spirit.

What do you say, buddy?

- Threshers!
- Threshers!

Let's do it.

You're gonna be a star,
honey. Love you.

Go, go in. Go. Go!

Oh, that's better.

Yeah.

I should come here more often.
There are treasures here.

You'll find this interesting.

This is probably all the same
stuff that you'll keep,

you know, because you're
head dancer like I was.

We, we don't...

I know, I know.
You don't have a head dancer.

You're front and center.
We both know what that means.

Ah, I hope you're
keeping your costumes.

You know, they make
little changes.

Like, these stars here?

You know, they don't
have these anymore.

You know, and if you don't
have it, then you'll forget.

Try it on.

Um... what?

Try it on.

You know, it doesn't fit Grace.
She has no self-control.

But you know,
it should fit you perfectly.

Oh, I, I, I don't know.

Oh, I've been thinking, I know
why we couldn't find Tyler.

Slap my forehead.
I should've realized.

He'll be at the game!

You know, he's gonna
wanna laugh at Grace,

or string her along
a little more.

So uh... you know,

we'll just have to
catch up with Tyler later.

But um, what do you wanna do?

I mean, we've got time to kill.

Let's have some fun.

We've cleared it.
You can come in.

Nothing from Hannah. Oh, God.

You can look around but we
don't think your perpetrator

went further into the house.

No, no, she didn't.

I heard the engine
and they left right away.

We have to find them.

We have to get
out there right now.

Ma'am, ma'am, we have
a lookout for a woman

with the description
you gave us.

If you wait here,

we're gonna be out turning
the town upside down.

No! I am going with you.
You're taking me with you.

Come on!

- Hey.
- Hey, Ty.

Hey, Tyler. I have a hot dog.

You sure do.

Did you hear?

The coach and her daughter
didn't show yet.

It's chaos down there.

Oh, right. Oh, opening night.

Parking nightmare.

Right.

Grace is gonna dance, though.

That's right, buddy,
Grace is gonna dance the best.

Come on, Threshers!

Come on, Threshers!

Hannah's the problem.

We can do it without coach
but Hannah is--

It's okay, it's just
a hole in the line.

We'll just move
where we stand. It's okay.

Yeah, but the chair bit,
we need an even number.

Kath?

You know, you, you've been
to like, all the practices.

Me?

Yes, come on!

No, uh... this isn't what I...

Books. Uh...

No, you know
the routine though, right?

Okay, but I need a uniform.

I have my old uniform.

Nice.

A good fit, actually.

You look like me.

Well, do a kick.

Okay.

I'm not warmed up yet.

Well, get warmed up.

You know, we've got time.

If we're gonna find Tyler,
we're gonna have to wait

until after the game.

And it hasn't even started yet.

And now,
your half-time entertainment

continues with
the Thresherettes.

Your mom, Nicole,
or Coach Nicole now, I guess,

I bet you think
she's protective.

But she has to
care about everyone

and you can't care
about everyone.

I'm not the coach
to a bunch of girls.

I'm the mom to one person.
I protect her.

Don't you have a son?

A son?

What's he gonna do
that's interesting?

Um, right.

Look at this.

My yearbook from junior year.

I'm in 14 pages of this thing.

How many pages do you
think Grace will have?

Like, like, three, if that?

Look, chess club.

I'm smart.

Everyone forgets that I'm smart.

You know, I see the board.
I see the other guys' mistakes.

You know, I was editor
of the school paper.

We had zero retractions
that year, because of me.

Hell, I was the one
cleaning the whole house

when I was like, ten, because
my mom was a damn hoarder.

You know, and, and now,
I take care of Grace.

You know, that's all I am.
I have nothing of my own.

Are you warmed up?

Show me what you can do.

♪ All eyes on me, me, me

♪ Get up and stomp
your feet, feet, feet ♪

♪ I'm so good at winning, baby

♪ Pour a glass 'cause
it's so damn crazy ♪

♪ I'm just like milk 'cause
I'm so damn good, woo-hoo ♪

♪ I read your mind
with just a look, woo-hoo ♪

♪ I read you like I wrote
this book, woo-hoo ♪

♪ You know I woulda
looked you up ♪

♪ I can lock it up
'cause I'm so damn ready ♪

♪ I'm a saint, I'm a sinner,
I'm a mystery ♪

♪ I'm the future, I'm the past,
I'm your history ♪

Okay, that's good.

Nice, actually.

Drop splits.
You're warmed up.

I don't, we don't
do those anymore.

My mom took them out.
It tears up your hips.

Well, that's stupid.

And people love drop splits.

You know, I could do them
and my smile would never falter.

You could snap off my leg
and my smile would stay there.

You know, it really is all
in how you carry yourself.

You know what I would do,
if I were you?

I would do
the drop splits anyway.

Yeah. You know,

everyone else is just
standing there

and you're out
splitting the ground.

Like a winner.
The crowd goes crazy.

You know? Because listen,

you aren't gonna be queen bee
forever, okay?

Trust me on this.
It goes away in an instant.

You know, and guys.

Don't even get me
started on the guys.

Okay, guys your age are
all pimple popping losers.

You know, so you figure,
oh, just do better.

You know what that gets you?
Jealousy.

And any kind of local fame,
it goes fast.

Okay, everyone knows
you and then no one knows you.

I was a star! And now,
nobody even recognizes me.

You wore a disguise.

Yeah, and, and nobody listens.

The kids don't listen.
The husband doesn't listen.

The school board
pretends to listen

but then they just
crap all over me.

You know, and Coach Megan,

she says I'm still
living in high school.

Well, life is high school!

You know, I have the answers
and nobody calls on me!

I'm so sorry.
That sounds terrible.

You know,
girls like you and me,

it is crucial that
we make good choices.

You know what?
You pick the wrong guy,

and Tyler isn't just
the wrong guy for Grace,

he's the wrong guy for you, too.

And then you turn down
the scholarship

and you stay in town,
and you have kids.

And oh boy, yeah, then you know,

your life is only as
good as your kids, right?

And then you just spend
all your time like, fixing

and fixing and fixing.

And that's what all that hard
work in high school got you.

You know, life turns you into
a lawnmower when you...

y-y-you could've been anything!

This is good. This is good.

You know, we're cut
from the same cloth.

You.

You, I can help.

You know, Gr--

Grace hates me.

It hurts.

Do you know that she asked me
not to come to the game tonight?

Uh, I'm sorry.

I mean, I used to
lie to my mother

and tell her the game
was canceled or rained out.

Just so she wouldn't show up
in her dirty house dress

and rolled down socks, everyone
figuring out who she was.

But I never told her
not to come.

You know, that,
that's just cruel.

You can't come back from that.
That's the abyss.

But I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe, maybe sometimes you want

the abyss to dive into,
you know?

You know, you wanna mess
it up so bad you can't fix it

because you can't exist
where things are that bad.

You know, because
if you can't fix it

then you don't have to try.

And that's the only way to rest.

That's the only
damn way to rest!

Mrs. Fenwick, what if
we put on some music?

I, you, we could dance.

Hannah.

How are we gonna fix this?

Look at this.

We're in a storage unit.
You're in a damn costume.

There's a gun.

How do we come back?

There's no coming back.

There's no fixing it!

No, no, no! Stop!

Why can't you see
what's gonna happen?

Why don't you try
to make it right?

Yes!

Oh, my God!

Oh, hey!

Oh, my God, we won!

Oh, my goodness.

So, Hannah and her mom,
they never showed?

Help! Somebody unlock this!

Hello?

Hey! Oh.

Hi. Oh, watch,
don't drop the chicken.

- Oh, the chicken.
- Oh, grocery store chicken!

Okay, okay, all right.

Okay.

Got it!

All right, guys,
let's eat. Get the table set.

You wanna get the napkins
and everything ready?

- Yeah, I got it.
- All right, great.

The chicken, oh,
it smells so good.

- Okay, um, where's the bread?
- I've got the bread here.

- There it is.
- I'm gonna set the table.

Hey, honey,
I'm sorry I was so late.

Please tell me how
the performance went.

Were you brilliant?
I'm sure you were.

It was. It was...
it was really good.

Coach Nicole and Hannah didn't
show up, which is really weird.

Oh, that is weird.

Um, well, well I'm
sure it was great.

Thanks. And um...

Mom, I'm really sorry.

I should have never told you
not to come to the game.

That was too far.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

You know, I used the time to...

think through a lot of stuff.

Really hash through it.

And yeah, I can see now that
I was acting a little crazy.

Yeah?

You know,
and, and from now on,

I am hands off, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

And hey, Mom, next time,

I really do want you
at the game.

I would love that.

All right, y'all,
supper is ready.

Disturbance, 4th and Lincoln.

Female in some kind of costume.

That's Hannah. Let's go!

4th and Lincoln is out
by the Pokey Dot.

It's just gonna be
some old drunk lady.

Well, this town has got
what, like two cop cars?

If you don't go, then who's
going to even check on it?

Please, in case it's her.
Please, let's go.

Oh, my God,
that's her! That's her!

Pull over!

Mom?

Oh! Oh, my God, we found her!

Mom!

Hannah!

I... I knew you would worry.

I'm so, so, so sorry.

Are you okay?

What are you wearing?

What are these bruises?

No, what's happening?
What happened?

Elizabeth Fenwick.

That's who it was.
Go find Elizabeth Fenwick.

I'll go straighten this all
out, okay? This is a mistake.

I was just telling
Officer Peggy,

I know what this is about.

This is about my
daughter, Grace.

What? Mom,
what are you talking about?

She got involved in
some small town frenzy.

You know, someone
saw you out there tonight.

They didn't like that
you got let on the team.

You're gonna have
to come with us.

- No!
- It's okay, buddy.

She'll be home
by the time you wake up.

I will. I'm gonna straighten
this all out, okay?

I'm coming willingly.

No, Mom, y-you, you
didn't do anything!

Please, Mom, please!

You guys are making a mistake!

I'll make some calls.
You're making a mistake!

This is a big mistake.

I freely admit my actions

and apologize to the Li family
with my whole heart.

I only ask for your compassion.

Because what I did, I did out
of love for my daughter.

I thought she was
making mistakes,

and when she did,
it gave me something to do,

which I did in
the worst possible way.

And if I'm given
the chance to live,

to live freely again,

I'll let Grace live her life
and make her mistakes.

Or not.

And I'll live mine

and work to fix my own mistakes.

Thank you.

Elizabeth Fenwick,

on the charge
of attempted murder,

the court finds you guilty.

A sentence will be
determined at a later date.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, you're looking
good, Jackson.

I think you might actually
be a little taller.

I am taller. Dad drew
a new line on the wall.

I sure did.

Hey.

You're looking good.
Very fresh faced.

Oh.

You know, the first time
I met your mother

it was at the gym.

And she was wearing no
makeup and I thought,

wow, to look like that
right out of the box.

No, no, no, no.
No memory stuff.

I'm trying to live
in the here and now.

But I wanna hear all
about you, Grace.

Any acceptances?

Two.

I mean, community college

and kind of a borderline
thing from ISU.

I still have to submit
some more stuff.

You'll do it. You'll get in.

I mean, you're gonna have to
do it without my help,

but it's probably
better that way.

You know, that's...

that's how we got here
to begin with, so.

Mom.

I know that things
were hard then

but I want you to know
that every day there's something

that I wish that
you were there for.

Or I wish that
I had your advice.

You'll be fine.

You know, you're
gonna figure it out.

And if you make mistakes,
that is absolutely fine.

Hey.

You can have my cookie
from lunch, if you want.

Having trouble settling in?

I can help.

You know, I think if you
just carried yourself

a little better,

you might get more
respect around here.

You know, just shoulders
back, head up.

And a little smile never hurts.

There you go. That's better.
