♪ Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Dylan ♪

♪ You son-of-a-gun
of a wonderful guy... ♪

Guys just stop singing

if I blow out the candles, please?

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Okay, make a wish.

[coughing]

- Hey, all right.
- [coughing]

- Boy.
- Thanks, everybody, for coming.

[coughing]

What he would like to say
is that although

this is not the actual date
until next week,

he's glad you could all be here

to celebrate his, what, 80th...?

Oh. 18th birthday.

Well, I'm glad
I'm not the only one anymore.

That's quite a cough you got.

I've been practicing.

- [dance music playing]
- I love this song.

- Come on.
- No.

- Come on!
- No.

Mr. Meyers?

- Gil.
- Gil...

Can I ask you about my paper

on Emily Dickinson?

Andrea. That's business.
I'm off duty tonight.

Why did you give me a B+?

You don't let up, do you?

It's a party!

♪ Whatcha gonna do
when she catches you? ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Only you, this time
I saw you at the club ♪

- [music ends]
- [clapping]

Where did you
learn to dance like that?

- Completely self-taught.
- That's what they all say.

What else do they say?

You ordered the onion rings,
and I the French fries.

Oh, yeah. I
got your order down here.

Hey! What are you doing here?

Hanging out. Want some cake?

No. You know, what I do want
is to know what I have to do

to get a decent grade from you.

Take my clothes off?

Uh... Andrea, do you know Sue?

Uh... No. Not really.

Andrea Zuckerman, Sue Scanlon.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I'm not kidding.

My mom's going to kill me

if I fail freshman English.

- Sue...
- Look, I'll just leave you two

to, uh... take care of business.

It's hard to get decent grades

if you're cutting class.

Couldn't I just
do an independent study project?

I mean, I really
do work better one-on-one.

Tell you what. Come by tomorrow,

and we'll talk about it.

And don't let your
mom get you down.

[Sue] See ya.

You're late.

Only by four minutes
and 13 seconds.

Are you making fun of me?

- No.
- Forget about going out

for the rest of the week.
And next week, too.

- You said I could...
- Uncle Henry is coming tomorrow.

He'll be in Scotty's room.

Well, why can't he
stay downstairs in the den?

You haven't let anybody
touch this room

for a whole year.
Not since Scotty died.

Excuse me, Sue.

When you
have a family and a home

you can decide.

Henry should stay here.

He was Scotty's favorite uncle.

[door closes]

I thought Office Service
was supposed to be fun.

You get to know
who's coming in late

and who's flunking out.

Mostly I deliver
notes for Mrs. Teasley.

- What's Sue in for?
- She practically lives here.

- Hi, Sue.
- Hi.

All right, I have
to go pick up the attendance.

Where do I put the announcements
for the Art Fair?

Put it
with all the other folders,

and don't peek in the files.

Sue, we never got a chance
to talk about what happened

between you and David at the
dance last week.

You don't have to worry, Donna.

He doesn't mean anything to me.

I know you don't mean that.

I don't want you to have
to feel weird around David now.

Look, I told you
I'd stay away from him.

You don't have to do that.

Look, Sue,
David does care about you.

There is a difference between
romantic love and affection

shown from a friend who's almost
part of your family.

I know that, Donna.

I know all about it. Okay?

Now, hold it just a moment.
I'm in shock here.

Brandon
is coming to a dance club?

Like, to have fun?

He's been practicing.

He's going to show you up.

Kingston 12, here we come!

I have no idea what
she's talking about.

Kingston 12? You're kidding?

Good luck, Baryshnikov.

Can't wait to compare moves
with you, big guy.

Brandon,

could it be that you're becoming

open-minded in your old age?

More like feebleminded, Bren.

What am I thinking about?
I hate dancing.

- Nikki likes it.
- Yeah.

So, you and Dylan
want to come with?

It looks doubtful,
at the rate he's going.

- I'm really worried about him.
- What did the doctor say?

How you feel about dancing?

That's how he
feels about doctors.

- [coughing]
- Hey, D, how's that cough?

[coughing]

It's all right.

How you doing?

[coughing]

[Sue] I don't get why
Mrs. Teasley hates me.

I mean, what did I do to her?

I begged her
not to call my mother,

but she said that she has to.

You're really going through
a tough patch, aren't you?

I mean, so what if I flunk out?

My mom
would probably die of shame.

She thinks
her daughter's a deadbeat.

- Do you?
- I think I'd be better off dead.

I mean, it should have been me,
not my brother.

I'm sorry.

For what? For being honest?

We all get down on ourselves,
but you get through it.

You've got to focus
on the good things in your life.

The things that are worth
sticking around.

Like what? There's nothing.

Well...

if you weren't around,
you wouldn't know me.

See what you would
be missing out on?

Are you conceited or what?

Of course I am.

Did I detect a smile there?
Hmm? Almost?

I came here to talk
about grades and papers.

Here you are,
trying to cheer me up.

You really are different.

So are you.

Sue, you're a very special girl.

You just need to believe it.

[Gil] What do the works of Poe,

Hawthorne and Crane
have in common?

Can anyone tell me?

- Brandon?
- Uh...

Well, they're all very...

dark, for lack of a better word.

No, that's exactly
the right word.

And they all rely heavily
on symbolism

as they explore
the dark side of humanity.

Mr. Meyers.

- Thank you, Ms. Walsh.
- Mrs. Teasley

said you should look at it
as soon as possible.

Excuse me. We're trying
to learn something here.

I doubt that, Brandon.

Um...

- Where were we?
- On the dark side.

I don't get it. First, he bails
in the middle of AP,

and then he's a no-show
for the staff meeting.

It's just very
out of character for Gil.

Is it?

You don't think so?

The more I
get to know Mr. Meyers,

the less about him surprises me.

Brandon, when do you want
to get together and do...?

The meeting
that we're having. Right.

- What meeting?
- Uh...

It's a private meeting.
It's a guy thing.

Would you excuse us?

How's Friday?

It doesn't give you
time to practice.

You told me you could teach me

how to dance in one session.

Did I say that?

Oh, my God! He's burning up!

Okay, so I'll go home.

I'll watch videos,
drink chicken soup.

You're going to the doctor's.

- Brenda...
- Dylan,

stop being so macho.

[sighs]

Even if you feel better
in a day or two,

I want you to finish
the whole prescription.

Thanks, Doc. I will.

Good to see you, Dylan.

And happy birthday.

I bet you never thought
I'd make it to 18?

I was afraid you
wouldn't make it to 8.

Have you been in any more
motorcycle accidents?

No, but I did bruise
some ribs surfing last year.

Surfing? Where? Santa Monica?

No, no. There
are no waves there anymore.

[coughing] Mostly,

I go up to Malibu
'cause the water's cleaner.

Look, Dylan,
don't fool yourself.

You have to read the signs.

After a big rain,
you can find all sorts

of nasty bacteria
in the channel.

Yeah. But, Doc, when you see
a four-foot set rolling in,

it's hard
to stay out of the water.

Look, Dylan,
do yourself a favor.

Try some indoor
sports for a change.

[coughing]

[David] That's it for today.

For those thinking
of cutting classes, remember,

don't do the crime
if you can't do the time.

[bell rings]

I'll tell you what I find out.

- Okay.
- How you doing?

- Good. You?
- All right.

AP English isn't
interesting without Meyers here.

I hope he's right.
He's been gone since Tuesday.

- Checked on him at home?
- Nah.

His machine's on all the time.

That reminds me. I was going to
ask you. Do you know where

4580 Malibu Coast Drive is?

Yeah. It's right by
where I surf.

- Why?
- That's where Gil lives.

I thought I
might stop in say hi.

Oh, yeah.
That's a great place to live.

And I miss those waves.

Strep throat's gnarly stuff.
You look better though.

Hate to, but antibiotics,
they work sometimes.

Four out of
five doctors surveyed...

I've got some bad news.
Gil Meyers is in big trouble.

What do you mean?

You know how he likes
to flirt with girls?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, he may have taken

it too far.

I don't know all the details.

He's been "relieved
of his duties

pending an investigation",

quote unquote.

What kind of investigation?

For "sexual misconduct
with a female student".

When'd the doc say you
could get back in the water?

I don't know.

Looks like
a killer set coming in.

Yes, I know!
Would you look at that water?

Have you seen anything
more beautiful?

Gonna go knock on Meyers' door.
All right?

- Yeah, I'm just gonna hang out.
- Cool.

[Meyers] So,
the subs aren't cutting it?

Well, let's just say

these people
aren't AP English teachers.

Fourth-grade math maybe.

[chuckles] I'm sorry about that.

I hope they find someone,

but mid-year, it'll be tough.

You'll be back, won't you?

How long
is this hearing gonna take?

I'm not supposed
to talk about it.

All right,
I'll just ask you questions,

you nod yes or no,
like in All The President's Men.

Woodward and Bernstein?

I'm gonna miss you guys a lot.

You sound like you're giving up,
but at the hearing...

There's not gonna be a hearing,
I'm leaving.

If I go quietly
and don't fight it, then Mrs...

the girl's mother
will drop the matter

and they'll close the books.

- Why would you want to do that?
- Why do you think?

Gil, you gotta fight this thing.
Clear your name.

Brandon,
I don't wanna discuss it.

Hi.

Hi. Um, I
was just writing a note,

but I decided not to.

Do you remember me?

Uh,

yeah, from the other night
at the Peach Pit.

Right, and I
was also out there in the hall

the other day.

You looked pretty upset
when you ran out of here.

- You're from the newspaper?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm not looking
for a story from you.

Why not?

I imagine you prefer

your business private.

Well, why do you care
what I prefer?

Nobody else does.

Look, Sue,

I'm involved
with "peer counseling."

- I'm not interested.
- You know what it's about?

Like having a kid
for a therapist!

- No, thanks!
- It's not a therapist.

Someone you can talk to,

who can understand

how you're feeling.

How are you supposed

to understand how I feel?

Because I once had a teacher
that I really cared for.

Someone I thought
I was falling in love with.

And what happened?

If I tell you about this, I want
us to have an understanding.

I don't want to share my
feelings with everybody,

just you.

I wouldn't tell anyone.

And the same goes
for stuff you tell me,

okay?

Okay.

Good. Come on.

[doorbell rings]

Andrea, hi. Brandon's not here.

That's okay. Actually, I
came by to talk to you.

I was hoping I could ask you
some questions.

Step into my office.

But why are you
so interested in Sue?

Is it because of Gil Meyers?

How did you know
Sue was involved?

Well, it's all over school
by now.

You can't keep that secret
for very long.

You were her senior buddy.
What's the story with her?

Well, according to Donna,

the Scanlons never recovered

from Scott's death.

Sue's dad just kind of
checked out of it emotionally.

And her mom
is a major control freak.

So, she's just kind of
an innocent victim in all this.

Well, with the way that she came
on to David at the Pigskin Prom,

I don't think you can
call her "innocent".

Brenda, get ready for this one!
You'll be interested, too.

I found out who
accused Mr. Meyers:

Sue Scanlon.

This is not news to you.

I'm always the last to know.

How come you're so chipper?

I couldn't figure out

why a mother would let

a sex offender walk away

unless she knew the charges

were totally bogus.

Now that we find out who
the so-called "victim" is,

it makes sense.

Wait a minute!

What makes you think that
Sue's not telling the truth?

Gil did not deny
the accusations, did he?

Because he can't.
That's part of their deal.

Are you aware there has never
been an unfounded claim

of sexual abuse
at West Beverly High?

Well, that doesn't mean
there can never be one.

And this girl is a nut, right?

Well, let's just say
she's troubled.

You are doing exactly
what society has done to women

for centuries.
You are blaming the victim.

- She shouldn't be on trial!
- What about being innocent

until proven guilty, huh?!

He should have the right
to confront his accuser!

Excuse me,
he does have that right

and he's chosen
not to exercise it.

- There's a difference.
- Mrs. Scanlon's pressuring him!

Or maybe it's because
he's not innocent.

Have you thought of that?

No, the only reason
that you wanna believe Gil

is because he's the guy,
and you can relate to that.

Yeah, okay, I like to think
Gil and I have a lot in common.

But what you and Sue have
in common, that is beyond me!

Yeah,

I guess it is.

Good night, Brenda.

Well, I think Andrea will accept
your apology, eventually.

You think she's right about Gil?

Brandon, I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure Sue
is capable of telling a few lies

here and there,
but I don't think she

would hurt Gil for no reason.

Oh, come on, Bren,
clearly, the girl is screwed up.

- [doorbell rings]
- It's probably Andrea

coming back back
to apologize to me.

What are you doing here?

Uh, it's a guy thing.

[chuckles]
David, I completely forgot.

Oh, well, I didn't,
so, uh, let's do it.

[sighs] I can't.

I've been working hard
at school,

and with Meyers gone,
the paper's crazy.

Not a good night.

Brandon, we're going
to Kingston 12 tomorrow.

How am I supposed to go
to a club and have a good time

when our school
is in total upheaval, huh?

Oh, please.

And here I
wasted a great alibi on Donna.

Oh, well,
can't say I didn't try.

See you guys around.

Sorry, David.

Bren, you won't tell anyone
David Silver came over

to give me
dancing lessons, will you?

On one condition.

You have to go

to that dance club.

Bren, I'm not...

Isn't it about time

you dropped this "I am what I am

and I
can't change" lame attitude,

and realize that you have a very
nice, very sexy girlfriend

who wants to dance with you?

In other words,
don't blow this one.

Working weekends, Zuckerman?

I don't like leaving
any loose ends.

I just came to pick up
some of my things.

I can't believe you took
advantage of a girl

just because
she had a crush on you.

Excuse me?

I know what happened.

I know who was involved.

I saw her running out
of your classroom on Monday.

For what it's worth,

I want you to know
that I did not abuse

or make a pass at that girl.

I don't know how you
define the word "abuse".

All I know is that she was hurt
and you were the cause.

I was trying to help her.

Do you really have
so little faith in me?

Kids just
don't make up these things.

Try putting up a defense!
You're just running away.

The reason I'm taking that deal

is that I think Sue
is in trouble.

I don't think she can handle

a confrontational hearing.

Oh, so you're just being noble?

You, you're protecting her
even though you know

your whole teaching
career is on the line?

At least if I
leave on their terms,

I might still have
a teaching career.

I know I can do
a lot of other things,

but I just happen to like
working with young people.

Maybe you like it
a little too much.

Maybe I do,
but I can live with that.

What I cannot live with
is having two suicides

on my conscience
for the rest of my life.

What do you mean?

On my first teaching job,
there was a girl...

a very troubled girl,

but...

she was very bright,

beautiful, an amazing girl.

[sighs] She
fell in love with me,

but I did what I
was supposed to do.

I held the line.

I even pushed her away.

I was very clear,
and she killed herself.

Because of you?

That's what the note said.

So you see, Andrea,

I am not about to publicly
call Sue Scanlon a liar.

As long as I know the truth,
that's all that matters.

For you, but what about for her?

I think I'm just about
the last person

that can help her right now.

If you want
to take a stab at it,

be my guest.

[Gil] Well, if it
isn't the birthday boy.

- [Dylan] Hey, how are ya?
- How come you're landlocked?

Oh, it's my doctor.

She said that the water quality

is detrimental to my health.

It's a shame, isn't it?

Oh, man, it's a travesty.

We have this
beautiful natural resource

and we're turning it
into a trash heap!

You sound motivated.

Friends of the Bay
can always use more volunteers.

That's a good organization.
I'll probably check them out.

So, uh, how's it going with you?

Ah, up and down, you know.

Listen, I, I don't even
know what happened,

and I don't usually ask
these kinds of questions,

but I was talking
to Brandon, and he told me.

I gotta tell you,
if it were me...

and I was accused
of something I didn't do,

I'd be out of here.
No explanations, no defense.

Nothing, I'm gone.

Thanks, Dylan.

But you know, some things
just aren't black and white.

Yeah, well,
I wasn't there, so...

I mean, if that girl
got the wrong message,

maybe it was my fault.

I don't know. You can always
second-guess yourself.

Hindsight's 20/20.

Maybe so.

So what are you gonna do?

[laughing]

You got any suggestions?

[Kelly] Thanks for paying
Steve, but that doesn't mean

- this is a date, does it?
- No, no.

But you have to dance with me.

- If you insist.
- Thank you.

- Let's go.
- Hey, hey, easy now.

We've got all night.
Want a drink?

Yeah, I'll have a soda.

Not until you work up
a sweat first.

Okay, I love this song.

Hey, how you doing?

You want to dance?

I'm with someone.

No, it's all right.
I'll sit this one out.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Ooh-wee, I'm out of here.

- Want a soda?
- Yeah, thanks.

What's Brandon's problem?

Oh, he has a major
hang-up about dancing.

Really?
Is he ever going to get over it?

Maybe he
needs a little incentive,

if you know what I mean.

[dance music playing]

Nikki, stop the bombing.
It's enough already.

Enough?
We're just getting started.

You're making a spectacle
of yourself here.

Oh, am I having too good a time?

- Is that the problem, Brandon?
- Excuse me

if I don't enjoy
watching you bump and grind

with every guy in here.

Brandon, take it easy.

I will.

You take her home.

- Andrea, hi.
- Hi.

My mom was really sorry
she didn't get to meet you

the other day. So she wanted me
to invite you over tonight

- for dinner.
- Tonight?

Please?

Sure.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Say, Brandon, did you
and Nikki ever make up?

I don't believe I've made up
with you yet, Steve.

Come on. I was just trying
to get you off your rump.

Uh-huh, and who asked you?

I'll tell you what,

if you and Nikki ever break up,

you let me know, okay?

God.

Hey, Nikki, um...

if you're willing to talk, I
just want to tell you I'm sorry.

For what? Telling me off,
or not dancing with me?

Both.

Look, Brandon, I
just think in a relationship,

there's some differences
you can live with

and some you can't.

How do you know so much
about relationships?

Because I'm a girl.

And that's what girls do.

Mmm.

So do we get to kiss
and make up now?

It's not going to be that easy.

There's still the issue:

One dances and the
other one doesn't.

What do you want me to do,
Nikki?

I have no rhythm, end of story.

Okay.

How 'bout this?

One private dance lesson.

Your home turf.

Your favorite music.

Your favorite dance instructor.

You give it your all one time,

just, just one time,

and if you have no rhythm,

I will never complain again.

All right, you got a deal.

You want half my sandwich?

Oh, no thanks.

I think you've lost about
five pounds in the last week.

Yeah, well, it's called
learning the hard way.

What's the Coastal
Waters Initiative?

It's a measure on the ballot
this year.

The people at Friends
of the Bay turned me on to it,

seeing as how I've reached
the age of majority.

You get to vote for it.
How cool.

All I gotta do is register.
I'm stoked.

I'm bummed!

How incredibly unfair.

Who would've known
you had to register

30 days before the election?

Anyone who'd read this
information pamphlet.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

I'll just have to try
and cheer you up.

Better not. Doc Littman
says I might be contagious.

- Ooh, bummer.
- Yeah.

Hi.

I'm sorry.
You shouldn't come in.

What's the matter?

I know I invited you over,

but I made a mistake.

Oh, that's okay.
Don't worry about it.

Sue, what are you...?

Oh, hi, you must be Andrea.

I'm so happy to meet you.
Come in.

Henry, I'd like you
to meet someone.

This is Andrea Zookerman.

- Zuckerman.
- Zuckerman.

- Uh, this is my brother, Henry.
- Hi.

We knew a Zuckerman family
in Oklahoma City.

I believe they were mortgage
brokers, any relation?

I don't think so. I've never
been to Oklahoma.

Sue's spent the last five
summers in Oklahoma.

Uh, we're gonna go upstairs.

No, you're not.

We're eating soon.

Did you know that Sue's friend

is the smartest girl
in West Beverly High,

and she is going
to Yale next year?

I'm not the smartest,
believe me,

and I've just applied
to Yale; I didn't get...

And she is the editor
of the school paper.

Editor-in-chief? Is that right?

Well, this year
I'm the co-editor.

Maybe Sue could do some
writing for the paper.

Well, sure, if she'd like to.

You know, I used to write
for my high school paper.

- Did you really?
- Susan,

get your brothers and sisters.

We're gonna start dinner.

Trouble was, if I didn't
have a good story,

well, I'd just make one up.

[laughing]

Ah, such a kidder.

[Nikki] Brandon, no one will
see you.

Nobody's home.

The doors are locked.

I tell you what,
I'll even turn my back.

[music playing]

- You did agree to this.
- I did?

Yes, you did.

Now come on.

Come on, Brandon.
Just loosen up.

Start with the feet first.

Don't worry about the hands.

You follow me, Brandon.

Brandon!
That's not giving it your all.

You're not giving it
your anything.

You see that music
just wasn't quite right.

Now this music
I like much better.

[ballad playing]

You want to slow dance?

Yeah, any objections?

No, not at all.

Good, 'cause I know
this one dance.

You may have heard of it. It's
called the, uh, Brandon Waltz.

No, no, I haven't heard of it.

I guess you're gonna

- Can I take your plate?
- Sure, honey.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

[Andrea] Thank you Mrs. Scanlon.

You'll have to come again soon

when Conrad isn't
away on business.

But thank heavens we
have Henry here filling in,

guarding the homestead.

Why don't we put on
a videotape of the ranch.

I don't think she's interested
in our home movies, mother.

But we have
terrific horse shows,

Scotty jumping...

I don't want to see Scotty
jumping.

Scotty is dead.

I have to apologize
for my daughter.

She hasn't been herself
since that...

nasty mess
with that disgusting teacher.

Do you have to keep
talking about it?

It seems to me that
you were the one who talked

about it first.

Yes, I was.

So if you started it,
well then...

- then you ought to finish it.
- Henry...

Sorry, but I don't believe I

I got a clear explanation

of what that whole

nasty mess was about.

Henry!

All I've heard's

how he tried to seduce her,

to have his way with her.

I want to know exactly
what's she's saying he did.

What she did to make him think
he could make such advances.

What are you talking about?
Sue didn't do anything.

Is that right, Sue?

You didn't do anything, huh?

No,

that's not right at all.

I was the one
who tried to seduce him.

- Susan!
- It's true.

I tried to kiss him,

but he wouldn't let me.

It was me!

[door slaming]

So, on behalf of
the entire Blazestaff,

AP English
and everybody else here,

we know this has been
a big ordeal for you.

It's good to have you back.

[applause]

- Thanks for the support.
- No sweat, man.

I don't think my brother
would've gotten over it

if you'd really left.

Then it's a good thing
I didn't have to.

I gotta go. I told Mrs. Teasley
I'd be right back.

Brandon, I just want
to say, for once,

I'm, uh, I'm glad I was wrong.

Yeah, me, too, Chief.

- So are you done being sick now?
- I think so.

Good.

Why?

You worried about me, Kelly?

Hey, what are friends for?

Listen. I'm... I'm sorry

I jumped to conclusions.

Don't apologize.

You gave me
a lot of food for thought.

Well, at least
you cleared your name.

Yeah, I guess.

You're thinking about Sue?

It's hard not to.

- How's she doing?
- I don't know.

Her mother's keeping her
in seclusion.

I was planning to drop
by her house later.

If you can help her, whatever
you can do, it'd be great.

[doorbell rings]

Hi, Mrs. Scanlon.
Is, uh, Sue home?

Sue isn't seeing anyone
but family right now.

Sorry.

I just thought that
maybe you could just...

Yeah, but you're
her senior buddy.

Look, that's not gonna get me
very far in that household.

She shouldn't be so isolated.

I mean, who knows
what she's thinking?

She's probably feeling very
guilty and depressed right now.

Well, being shut up
in that house

cannot improve
her mental health.

That has to be one
of the spookiest families

I've ever been in contact with.

Look, I know,
but what can we do?

[sighs]
Somebody's gotta get in there.

I think I know someone
who has the best chance.

Who?

Don't look at me like that.

Donna. We think
this is a really critical time.

Look, Sue hasn't been
in school for days,

and you know how
self- destructive she can be.

- Well, what can I do?
- You can be her friend, Donna.

She probably thinks
she doesn't have any left.

Well, you don't think
she'd do anything major, do you?

There's no way to know
if she's suicidal

unless we get in there
to talk to her.

You said Mrs. Scanlon

- would not let anybody in.
- Only family.

Well, I'm not exactly considered
a member of the family.

No, but your boyfriend is.

How did I let myself
get talked into this?

'Cause you care about Sue
and Scott

would've wanted
you to look after her.

Don't you think this
calls for professional help?

Well, maybe it's not
as bad as we think.

Mrs. Scanlon sounded thrilled
to hear from you.

Well, any time
Mrs. Scanlon's thrilled,

- [doorbell rings]
- it's a bad sign.

David! Hi. Um...

Come on in, you guys.

My mom is gonna be

so happy you're here.

David! Oh...

You have gotten so tall now.

Somehow I still expected you
to come up just to my chin.

Yeah, I just kept on growing.

Luckily Donna
sort of leveled off.

Sue, you look good.
How are you feeling?

Fine. How are you?

Sue, go tell Uncle Henry

to put more meat on the grill.

- No, that's okay.
- No, no, no, no, no.

We're having a barbecue
and you have to stay.

Well, actually,
we were just worried

because Sue wasn't in school.

That school.
That was the problem.

You kids are almost
finished, thank God,

but the thought
of four more years?

Sue would not have survived it.

[chopping]

You're pulling her out

- of West Beverly?
- Absolutely.

Where's she going to go?

We're moving.

We just decided.

Conrad is looking at houses

right now in Oklahoma
near my family.

- Oklahoma?
- The children

need a healthier environment.

Imagine this:

fresh air, no traffic,

a community
with wholesome family values?

And Conrad is
on the road so much

it doesn't matter
where he's based.

Don't you think that's
kind of a sudden decision?

Oh, it's not gonna be easy
to leave this house, believe me.

All the happy times
that we've had here,

and you've been here to share
so many of them with us,

all the big events...
and the milestones.

Anyway, we are gonna have
a whole fresh start.

So come on out in the backyard
because we need to celebrate.

Amy! Slow down!

David, what is going on?

These people act like everything

is fine and dandy.

Well, the Scanlons
love barbecues.

Um, Sue, can, can I talk
to you for a minute?

Sure.

I just wanted to make sure
everything's all right.

Well, why wouldn't it be?

Well, I just thought,

with everything
you've been going through,

you might need someone
to talk to.

What do you care?

I mean, really?

We were just worried.
That's all.

I mean, Brenda,

Andrea, even Mr. Meyers.

Well, everything's
absolutely fine.

I mean, I have my family.

They're the ones
who really care about me.

So you can just tell
everybody else to stop worrying.

♪ In the lost and found... ♪

Well?

I don't think I'm
very good at this.

The more they say everything
is all right,

the worse I feel.

Do you kids want hot dogs
or hamburgers?

[background music playing]

So, what's the deal
with Uncle Henry?

Well, he was Scott's
favorite uncle,

but, uh, I guess last time
when he was in Oklahoma

something happened,
because he called him a jerk

and never talked
about him again.

Amy. You forgot

to pick up your stuff.

Uncle Henry said

I didn't have to!

Sue.

When your father's out of town,
I'm in charge,

so don't think you
can call the shots.

Come on, Amy.

♪ If you don't let go,
it happens any day... ♪

Sue?

Hi. I was, uh...

looking all over for you.

Well, I've been here.

Look, before we go,

I just, I wanted you to know

I understand if you
don't feel like talking,

but if you change your mind,

you can call me any time.

Or David.

And I really do mean that.

Well, what would we talk about?

Whatever you want.

Are the kids at school
talking about me?

I'm not gonna lie to you.

They're curious about
what really happened.

Of course, it is none
of their business.

I, uh...

I just keep thinking
about what Andrea said.

What did Andrea say?

She said that kids just
don't make up stories abo...

about...

well, that it has to come
from somewhere.

- Anyway...
- Want to know what happened?

I'll tell you what happened.

He was kissing me

and touching me.

I don't know who started it.

It could have been me.

He said it was me.

But then I
didn't want to anymore...

and I pulled away,

but he wouldn't let me.

He wouldn't let me go.

He hurt me.

If Mr. Meyers did this to you,
why'd you take it back?

Because it wasn't Mr. Meyers.

It wasn't him at all.

It was my...

It was my uncle.

It's always been my uncle.

- [laughing]
- Yeah, me too.

It's just not the
same city it was

when we moved here,
not by a long shot.

- [child] Come on!
- [child 2] Yay! Come on!

Here we go.

[children speaking indistinctly]

Mom, I need
to tell you something.

What?

You were right after all,
Andrea.

Sue didn't make it up,
but I'm sure Mrs. Scanlon

never suspected that her brother
was a child abuser.

- Boy, he was smooth.
- Now I know why

- Scott didn't like the guy.
- Sue was afraid

he'd start
with the little sister?

I mean, how unbelievably awful.

Well, at least Sue
doesn't have to carry

the secret around
by herself anymore

and she can start getting help.

[Dylan] Hey, Bren!

- Dylan!
- Guess what?

- You're not contagious anymore.
- Right.

So did you, uh,
break the bad news to Donna?

What bad news?

You know how you
were looking forward

to voting in the election?
Too late.

- It is not. It's two weeks away.
- No,

it's too late
to register to vote.

You are gonna have to sit
this one out

with the rest of us.

I registered months ago.

You did? I never thought
you were so civic-minded.

Kidding? I've waited my whole
life to vote for president.

Way to go, Donna.

So, you are familiar

with the Coastal Waters
Initiative?

The what?

Allow me to share with you

my firsthand personal experience

with the hazards of
pollution in our seas.

You see...

- Hey!
- Hey, guys!

Nat. You got something for me?

- Ha-ha. Here you go.
- Thank you, sir.

And don't spend it all
in one place, right?

Nikki, let's go.

Where are you off to?

We're gonna check out

the new club on Robertson.

See you guys.

- Bye.
- Brandon.

In a hurry to go dancing?

Well, you see, David...

in a relationship,
you learn important things

about the other person.

For example,

I have learned how dancing

- makes Nikki feel.
- And...

How is that, Brandon?

Romantic.

Bacteria are being
poured into our oceans

and make you physically ill
to even go close to the water.

Just go.

- Good-bye.
- Bye.

- Farewell.
- So long.

Good nighty.
