Previously on "Grosse Pointe
Garden Society"...

- Hey.
- Hey. This is Cricket.

I was just wondering
why you're being such a dick.

I'm just tired of being
your shoulder to cry on.

This just isn't working
right now.

- Have any sold?
- Enough to make rent.

Who's ever bought a painting
from a coffee shop wall?

Someone who loves art?

Someone who loves her son.

You've spent
thousands of dollars.

This is straight-up blackmail.

Marilyn, I need a favor.

You know I'd love to help.

What if it really pissed off
my mother-in-law?

Friends.

Where are you going?

- Dubai.
- Wait, no.

Owning a global security firm
means I gotta be global.

If you ever want to get back
in the game, we need a closer.

What's wrong?

My daughter just threw up.

She really needs her mom.
Sorry.

We're out of gas.

With a dead person
in the trunk?

You don't have
any cash, do you?

You're all I got.

But I'm also gonna need
that bracelet.

I had to do something
that might not be good for us.

Thirsty?

You're up early.

Thought you were just getting

one more drink
with your friends.

Oh, you know how it goes.

Do I?

One drink turns into two.

And, of course, I didn't eat
anything during the auction

because I was so nervous.

Next thing I know,
we're all at Birdie's

having a giant dance party.

Fun.

Thanks for relieving
the babysitter, hon.

You don't look drunk.

How do I look, Tucker?

Guilty.

Look, I'm sorry
for coming home so late.

I should have called.
- What were you really doing?

What, you want
my specific dance moves?

I mean, I started
with the stanky leg.

Just be straight with me.

Then I went into the Nae Nae.

- You have a tell.
- Huh?

Some people blink,
some twitch.

But everyone does something
when they're lying.

We'll never be the same.

We made a deal.

I know.

No more secrets.

I know. I know.

I saw Gary
staring at you from the bar.

I didn't cheat.

He was drooling
like you were a T-bone.

Believe me.

You don't have to worry
about Gary ever again.

Then what did you do?

Catherine speaking.

Hi, Mrs. Crosby.
Pointe Credit Union calling.

We just wanted to confirm

a cash advance
at Motown Casino.

No, that's not us.

So you haven't made
any charges at Motown Casino

in the past three days?

I've never even been there,
and my husband's overseas.

Okay, before I connect you
to the fraud department,

I'll need to verify
the account.

Bear with me.

My husband usually deals
with this stuff.

No problem.

I just need the last
four digits of the card.

Ma'am?

Are you there?

I don't know much
about flowers,

but I bet growing a garden is
just like growing a business.

and I have to leave ♪

♪ But soon enough,
I'll be back in Boston ♪

Success comes from planting

- Mm.
- Hey.

Want to sneak into the movies

I gotta finish this thing.

Mm. Boo.

I know.

Breakfast is served.

♪ Oh, come on

But stray too far
from who you are as a company,

and the whole enterprise
withers on the vine.

I'd like an oat milk latte, please.

And that postmodern,
antiauthoritarian painting.

Are you sure?

Plus the latte.

Just feels like
a pretty big impulse buy.

Yeah,
I'll definitely regret it,

but the alternative
is way worse.

That'll be $2,106.35.

♪ Oh, come on

Here she is.

Huh?

So where'd my money go?

Well, Matador red paint
with iconic SS stripes.

Rewired original
automatic convertible top.

Sick.

396-cubic inch big block V8,
rebuilt transmission,

plus original
all-black interior

and rally wheels.

Like she just rolled
out of the factory.

And the original stereo
that only plays classic rock.

Connor was right about you.
- Uh-oh.

Don't listen to him.

He said you'd make me
a lot of money.

Well, I really appreciate
the investment.

All right.

Fire her up.

Oh, still making her pretty.

Oh, come on,
I'm not gonna judge.

Nah, I'd rather wait
till she's ready.

What's going on here, Brett?

Carburetor's taking longer
than expected to rebuild.

This thing gonna run or not?

It wouldn't be a classic
if it was easy, right?

Yeah.

Look, I'm just the money guy.

I don't know dick about cars.

I won't let you down, man.

But I do know
we're not getting paid

if you're just putting lipstick
on a pig.

That was the last time, right?

You've been saying that
for three weeks now.

Well, next time,
I'll mean it.

Unit 35, what's your 20?

Still 10-31.

- What's that?
- Homeowner in distress.

Oh.

In need
of immediate assistance.

Mm.

Excuse me, officer.

You're blowing up.

Must have fallen out downstairs

when you stripped
each other's clothes off.

Yeah, thanks.

- I think it's your wife.
- Okay, Olga.

Back to pretending to work.

Gather round,
my little garden gnomes.

Lots of work to do
and no time to do it.

Sorry.

I couldn't find a meter.

Next time, carpool.

What are we doing here?

Operation Warp Seed.

Bulbs?

Not just any bulbs.

Japanese ranunculus.

You can't get those
in the States.

Mm.

Donna smuggled them back
from a trade fair in Tokyo.

Smuggled them how?

You just let Donna worry
about both those things.

I can't have
illegal bulbs in here.

Whoa. Dude, relax.

Sorry.

Cricket's got me
on this cleanse.

- Oh, what day are you?
- Starving.

Do you bitches want to beat
Bloomfield Hills or not?

Come on, now.

Now, now, now, now, now,
now, now, now, now, now.

Let's go. Lock and load.

Hoo-rah!

Uh, any questions?

Actually, yeah.
I have a lot.

I have four more boxes
in my car.

Okay, now I seriously
need to know

how Donna smuggled these.

All you need to know

is that she is healing
beautifully.

But what I need to know

is where in the heck
my vice president is.

Where is she? Hmm?

You were right.

Those things really do
come in handy.

You want a drink?

I want to know
what's going on.

If I tell you,

we'll never be the same.

I'll have what you're having.

I don't know.
Maybe we expanded too fast.

But in order to do it right,
you gotta take on some debt.

And I've just been trying
to dig out of this hole

for the past eight months.

Where have you been going?

Vegas. Atlantic City.

Sometimes the casino downtown.

Oh, my God.

Whoever will comp me a room

while I try to win enough
to pay for private school

or the tennis club or whatever.

So Dubai, Singapore, India...

It's all dried up.

Do you have any idea
how worried the kids have been

thinking you were so far away?

I was doing it for them.

Why couldn't you
just tell me?

I didn't want to give you
a reason to find someone else.

I'm not gonna leave you
just because we can't vacation

at Saint Barts anymore.

A lot of women
in this town would.

Well, I'm not one of them.

I can't do it anymore.

I got you.

I'm just so tired.

Promise me something.

Whatever it takes.

No more secrets.

Knock, knock.

Oh. Good morning.

How's it feel
to be back home?

Like I never left.

Clearly some
very important people feel

you deserve a second chance.

Yeah.

Principal Andrews didn't
really have my back.

And that's why he's now
in the cutthroat world

of multi-level marketing
selling time-shares.

Well, now you're here.

But there's only so much
I can do.

Still got to watch yourself.

Excuse me?

The mayor's wife may have
strong-armed the board

to bring you back,
but that doesn't mean

the parents can't
take you down again.

Know why these go on our desks?

To poison us?

In the 18th century,
teachers were given food

because they were so underpaid.

Oh, nothing
really has changed.

Just be smart, Alice.

Hm.

It's completely corroded.

Did you try
nail polish remover?

It's had multiple mani-pedis.

Okay, just breathe.

I'm breathing.

It's normal to be this cranky
on day three of a cleanse.

I'm not cranky.
I'm hungry.

That's just the ketosis
making you say that.

I need this stupid carburetor
to do what carburetors do.

Maybe it's just
the universe suggesting

that you switch frequencies.

The hell does that mean?

Maybe you shouldn't be
supporting gas-powered cars.

Seriously?

They're dinosaurs,

but if dinosaurs
killed the world

instead of the other way
around.

Okay.

This isn't just
a gas-powered car.

Through your nose.

This is a 1968 Camaro
with a big block.

Out through your mouth.

The Sistine Chapel on wheels.

Fight it, Brett.

What's even in this?

It's alkaline-based to reset
your digestive system.

- So it cleans me out.
- Completely restores you.

That's exactly what
I've been looking for.

Good.

Hey.

Want me to do pickup?
- Sure.

Thought I'd surprise
the kids.

- That'd be great.
- All right.

Okay.

Hi, Kayla.
It's Catherine Crosby.

I sold your house
at 2567 Devonshire.

Nicole, how are the kids?

Andrea, how are you?

Hey, Jerome.
Hello, Elaine.

Yes, I'm finally
going out on my own.

Darby.

The market is very favorable
to sellers right now.

♪ I'm the king,
give me my crown ♪

to upgrade--

okay, well,

Hi, Karen.

It's Catherine Crosby.

I sold your house
at 714 Bishop.

Oh.

You know,
we actually met once.

- Through my husband?
- Yep.

I used to do
event security for him

before I joined the academy.

Sugar?

I'm good.

So...

what can I help you with?

Is that your SUV
in the driveway?

Mm-hmm, yes.

And did you take that
to the garden club party

the other night?

Actually, we took
my husband's car.

Would that be
a black Cadillac?

Am I in some kind of trouble?

Why would you be
in any trouble?

My husband drives a Mercedes.

And did you come home
with him that night?

Yes, we were exhausted.

So you came straight home
with your husband.

Paid the babysitter,
watched about 20 minutes

of some cake competition show,
and passed out.

And you didn't go anywhere
else with any friends?

What's this about?

Picked this up
off a traffic stop last night.

We're out of gas.
Do you have any cash on you?

But I'm also gonna need
that bracelet.

I had to do something
that might not be good for us.

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

Thank the jeweler.

Luckily, there's not
that many Tuckers in town.

Who had it?

Someone with a real
crazy story about you.

Guess all that matters is,

now my husband doesn't have
to buy me a new one.

You know what?

It might be easier if you
come on down to the station

so we can just
clear this all up.

All right. Good morning.

Glad you're back, Ms. Morris.

Oh. Thanks, Peyton.

I hope
there's no hard feelings.

Why don't we just start over?

Well, that might be tough.

I'm wearing the same underwear
you sniffed.

Hm.

I'm just kidding.

Sup, boy?
- All right.

All right, people.
Let's find your seats.

- Sup?
- Come on.

Okay, so let's talk about
last night's assignment--

the first part of
Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit."

How are we all feeling?

Yes, Peyton.

Challenged.

In what way?

I don't know.

You know, it just
kind of made me think

about how when life,
like, sucks,

you could be stuck in it
forever.

Well, that's existentialism.

- And how is that good for us?
- What do you mean?

Well, just given all
the stress in the world today,

learning how life
has no meaning

could be really damaging
to our mental health.

Existentialism teaches us
the importance

of freedom of choice, guys.

Oh, cool.

Okay, then I'd like to choose
to read something else.

Well, this is the unit
we're studying.

But that was your choice.

Because I'm the teacher,
Peyton.

Yeah, but you're not
in charge of, like,

our well-being, right?

That's our parents.

Your parents also had
to read these books.

That's why my mom thinks
they're inappropriate.

She said that?

She's just really worried
about how you'd handle

a subject like this, you know?

No, I don't, actually.

Just given
how insensitive you've been

to students in the past.

Well, your mom is welcome

to come and talk to me
about the curriculum.

Yeah, that didn't go so well
for you last time, did it?

Excuse me?

No offense, okay.

I'm just looking out
for your job.

My mom would have
a problem too.

Who else feels the same way
about existentialism?

Okay.

You're right.
- What?

Yeah, no, it seems like
you all understand the basics,

so no need to do the reading.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

You can tell your mom
you get an A.

- Awesome.
- Wait, why does he get an A?

You all get A's.

Yeah, every single one of you.

- Is this a joke?
- For the rest of the semester,

as long as you come to class,
you get an A.

Okay, wait, so what are we
gonna actually, like, do?

Um...

who's read "Harry Potter"?

- Oh! Come on.
- Of course.

You know what, forget it.

Let's just watch the movies.

Come on.

Keep it up, everyone.

Ten more minutes
and then we'll take a break.

Oh, Alice.

Is it daylight savings time
where you live?

No.

Just wondering
why you're an hour late.

Carburetor.

Carburetor.

You're so hot, baby.

You're the sexiest sapling
I've ever seen.

What are you doing?

Making the seeds grow.

They apparently respond
to low vibrations.

So you're talking
dirty to dirt?

We'll see whose
sapling gets erect first.

Why isn't Brett here?

Oh, he's super stressed.

Something broke on the car
he's working on.

Don't worry.

You can rage about him
to the plants.

They like the screaming.

I'm sorry.

You were right.

I didn't appreciate you.

It's like when someone's such
a good friend all of the time,

you get spoiled.

Not that I'm making excuses
or whatever.

Sometimes I just wish
we could be normal

for, like, 20 minutes.

And then you can go
back to being mad at me

for as long as you want.

I just--I don't know,
I really--

I really miss you.

No crying.

Come on.

Tears disrupt
the pH of the soil.

You think that's what
your fight was about?

Oh, you poor thing.

He said I take him
for granted.

That's not
what it was about, girl.

But it's true.

Brett didn't go
buck wild on dating apps

because you forgot to thank him
for a ride to the airport.

In the wise words
of my Great Aunt Rose,

you get over someone
by getting under someone else.

What? No. Come on.

You're his emergency contact,
Alice.

Why didn't he say anything?

You're married.

Tía Rose also had
a lot of thoughts on fidelity.

Oh, God.

I'm such an idiot.

Oh.

It's not the size
of your stamen.

It's how you use it.

Carburetor.

Why do you keep saying that?

It's stuck in my head.

It's so weird.

It's just the car part
Brett's trying to find.

Your timing was perfect.

I waited so long
for my furniture to arrive,

when it finally did,
I was sick of the house.

You could just redecorate.

Or sell it fully furnished
and start over.

Haven't changed a bit, Daisy.

So it's 5 bed,
6 1/2 bath,

blah, blah, blah,
but that's not why I bought it.

This is way bigger than
the loft I sold you downtown.

Right?

Too bad I'm traveling
too much to enjoy it.

Well, in this neighborhood,
I'm afraid you're never

gonna get asking for this.

That doesn't sound like
the Catherine I remember.

You're gonna get way over.

That's my girl.

So I'll send you
the paperwork.

Hello?

Mind if I keep my shoes on?

Full disclosure,
you're not the only realtor

in the running.

Wow, this place is fab.

I'm upstairs.

But we go way back.

With Gary.

Believe me, I am better off
without him.

You've never sold a house
without him.

So who's my competition?

Someone who loves
a good fight.

Hi, Pierce.

Hi.

Oh, you two
already know each other?

Oh, I tried to hire her.

Timing just didn't work out.

She is a tremendous realtor,
Daisy.

- Oh.
- Thank you.

But an even better mom.

Hm. I like to find a balance.

Don't let her fool you--
she moms so hard,

it comes before
everything else.

You have kids, Daisy?

Sadly, work is my baby.

Hm. You and me both.

How many times
are we gonna go over it?

Nothing's changed.

One more time
for the cheap seats.

Hey, she gave it to me.

Traded it for gas
for her Cadillac.

Okay,
it's a $15,000 bracelet.

First she tried
to sell me pills.

I have never seen this man
before in my life.

Uh, she was wearing
a fancy blue dress.

Uh, maybe he saw me
at the gala.

She was with a friend
in a red dress.

He probably had someone
on the inside--

caterer, coat check.

- You don't got to believe me.
- Yeah, we don't, mister.

Ask Pete.

Who's Pete?

Homeless dude who lives
behind the mini mart.

He talked to the friend.

Look how grown you are.

Hey, Duncan.

Good to see you, man.

Is that the thief?

Not sure yet.

Well, my wife came home
with me.

Case closed.

Still should track down
this Pete guy.

Yeah, but why go
through all the effort?

Well, I gotta cover my bases.

You know, the whole
innocent till proven guilty.

Gas stations have
security cameras.

Hm?

I mean, why waste
any more time?

What model do you need?

'68 Camaro.

Aren't the Chevy parts
on the other side?

They moved them.

Let's divide and conquer.

How'd you know I was here?

Where else are you gonna find
a '68 carburetor?

Take a seat.

What's going on?

Employee quarterly review.

I'll stand, thank you.

How do you think your
performance has been lately?

Exceptional.

Well, I see room
for improvement.

Mm. Oh, yeah?

Where?

For example,
how you treat my boyfriend.

He's got a wife.

You need to be nicer to him.

What's the point?

This guy's not sticking around.

You don't know that.

They call this
a delusionship.

I'm not delulu, Olga.

TikTok would disagree.

We could totally
end up together.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Ford goes to college.

He finally leaves his wife.

And then what?

You all spend
Christmas together

like one of those
Hallmark movies?

It's not so crazy.

I am the kid's
biological mother.

Sounds like you've got it
all figured out, Ms. Bradley.

Well, it's what I want.

Sure it's what he wants?

You can go now.

Is all this going in my file?

We'll discuss it
next quarter.

So I wait
till Cricket's asleep,

and then I hit
the drive-through.

So you've just been
shame-eating in your car?

And brushing my teeth
so she doesn't smell it on me.

Oh, my God. You did not.

I cannot tell you how good

Taco Bell tastes
when it's forbidden.

Why would you even think

you could not eat
for five days?

Part of me wanted to prove
to her I was that guy.

You eat a second lunch.

Most important meal
of the day.

Doug once tried
to get me into jogging.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

You used to hide
at the coffee shop

for, like, half an hour.

- 15-minute mile.
- Yep.

Until Doug came in and found
you pounding an iced mocha.

I'm a bad faker.

Me too, I guess.

It's just hard
being something you're not.

Wait, what model was it again?

RS.

No way.
- Way.

I can't believe it!

It was sitting right there.

You are my lucky charm.

I'm sorry I can't be more.

Oh, man.

Was it that obvious?

You did cry at my birthday.

I was proud
you made it to 30.

I feel so stupid.

I'm the stupid one.

So what do we do now?

Taco Bell run.

Duh.

- Your--
- You're buying.

Oh, I was gonna say
your treat.

You're the one
with the new job.

Half day?

School's over.

- Bad joke.
- Oh. What's up?

Got a call from Peyton's mom.

Ah, yeah, my old buddy.

She said
you started the year off

with an interesting approach.

Look, I can explain.

I don't normally like
being ambushed by parents--

No, it wasn't
my finest moment.

Peyton's mom would disagree.

What?

Apparently
she's over the moon

with your new curriculum.

Huh.

Well, I think
my time off taught me

what really matters
to students.

Whatever you're doing,
keep it up.

Well, I'm happy
to do my part.

What if it was bigger?

Still trying to find
a cheer coach

and debate advisor.

Shop department
also needs someone

to keep kids
from cutting fingers off.

My masters is in English.

All for extra pay, of course.

How much?

Every great home has a story.

And if you'll please follow me,
I'm ready to tell yours.

Let me take you

into the heart and soul
of your home.

This oversized
Statuario marble island

is perfect for entertaining.

The eased edges give it
a sleek and contemporary feel.

Freestanding soaking tub
with a clean, modern finish.

Custom cabinetry.

This luxurious primary bath
spotlights a single vanity.

With griddle and grill.

Perfect for those
chilly Michigan nights.

This large
private sitting room.

Elegantly positioned to take
advantage of the morning light.

Whether you are
a gourmet chef

or you just love
hosting dinner parties.

My goal is to make this
seamless and stress-free.

I truly believe your home has

incredible potential
in today's market.

And I am confident
I can help you

get the best possible price.

Let's get started!
- When can we get started?

It's just such
a hard decision.

You both know your stuff.

And, oh, my God,
you're both so charming.

I didn't get it, did I?

A company of his size,

he has contacts
all over the world.

Yeah.

Pretty hard
to compete with that.

That's literally every day.

Neighbor's kid.

The Garretts.

Yeah. You know them?

They have a toddler
and a seven-year-old.

And my daughter takes ballet
with the girl

that lives in that Tudor.

The house next to it,
they have twin boys,

and they all go
to the best public school

in the district, which is
walking distance from here.

You know the neighborhood.

And I know that the person
that buys your house

won't care if there are
soccer balls in their yard.

- Why?
- Because I'm gonna sell it

to the friends
of one of these families

so their kids can
grow up together.

Wow.

You really do mom hard.

You don't need Goldman's
international contacts.

You need my PTA phone tree.

Think you can close
in 60 days?

I once sold
300 Girl Scout cookies

in a weekend.

Even the plain ones?

Mostly plain.

Why don't we go inside
and sign those papers?

Okay, scroll, scroll.

Let's just get to the point
where he said you came in.

Is that even
really necessary?

Guy's facing
a serious felony.

Well, I don't see any reason
to press charges, right, babe?

Well, it's probably
up to the DA anyway now.

Ugh. Spinning wheel.

You'd think
they'd upgrade these things.

Maybe it just fell
out of my purse.

Okay, wait a minute.

I think we're back in business.

Nope.

Spinning wheel again.

We got the bracelet back.
Why are we even doing this?

The man's got a job to do.

Okay, here we are.

Well, there you go.

Sorry for your trouble, folks.

It's funny.

It's like she was never there.

Count of three.

Three.

Hm.
- Mine's bigger.

Uh-huh.

See, everyone?
What we say to plants matters.

Or it's the carbon dioxide
coming from our mouths.

What'd you say to yours?

Oh, I sang
a Get Up Kids song.

You?

Just told mine how I felt.

Mm.

Get a load of that.

Aww.
