[door creaks]

Oh, damn, it's good to be home.

Well, don't get
too comfortable yet.

I've got a surprise for you.

Picking me up at the airport,

that was surprise enough.

Well, you know,
I kind of figured

you probably had
airplane food for dinner,

so, uh, I think you deserve
a nice homemade dessert.

Oh, that's nice.

What's the catch?

There's no catch.

I'm just glad you're home.

So, what did you and Erica do
in the Aloha State?

Well, mostly we just hung
out with Iris. You know...

No snorkeling, no hula dancing?

It wasn't exactly
a pleasure trip,

you know what I mean?

And I'm not exactly
parent material.

So I figured,

if Erica could get
along with Iris...

How could anyone not get along
with Iris?

It's possible, believe me.

But they hit it off and Erica
loves it there, so...

And they live
happily ever after.

Yeah.

Well, now that everything's
fallen into place,

don't you think
it's payback time?

What's on your mind?

Well, I know how important it
was to get Erica back safely.

Right.

And we did recover a payload

of money in Mexico.

Spit it out.

Well, three people
worked that job:

me, you and Jones,

but only two people got paid.

Okay. I get your point.

After all, you did risk
your life down there.

Not to mention my virtue.

Right.

Okay, I'll cut you in.

I guess I should've thought

about that before.

Well, I know you've had a lot
on your mind.

But now that I have
your attention...

Oh. Hi, Brandon.

Hey, Chief, thanks for coming.

Not a problem.

We could've just done this
over the phone.

Jesse's leaving for his
recruiting trip tomorrow.

He owes me babysitting time.

Jesse's going out of town,

and you're sitting here with me?

He is so nervous

about these interviews,

it makes me edgy

just being around him.

What's going on?

I need some input on this

and you're the best
editor I know, so...

[pop song plays]

"In Defense
of Professor Finley?"

It's for Friday's Condor.

I don't get it. You have
showdown with the guy last week

and now you want to help him
get tenure?

Personally, I think

the guy's an egomaniac,

but he does have a lot
of devoted students.

Huh.

Well, then I guess it makes good
sense to back him,

not to mention good politics.

I do have another reason

for standing up for him.

A certain blond

psychology student we both know?

Yeah.

Brandon, has she read this?

No, in fact, I haven't even told
her I'm doing it yet.

We haven't been spending a lot
of quality time together lately.

[Kelly] Well, with the Faculty
Council meeting on Friday,

we're starting tonight
with the phone tree,

telling everybody
about the rally

on Friday and we need your help.

Oh, great.
Okay, come on over. Bye.

You are not gonna believe
what happened to me.

Donna, what are you doing here?

You're supposed
to be at the Peach Pit.

Hah! I was making
a quick stop home

and a pizza delivery guy
rear-ended me and then he yelled

at me because I didn't
run the red light.

Now, I'm totally late,

Ray's waiting for me.
I've gotta call him.

I think all the lines are busy.

Who are all these people?

Finley students.
Coming to the rally on Friday?

I just want to call
the Peach Pit.

Great. Thanks for your support.

Oh, thanks, I just...

Sorry. I haven't
finished my list yet.

- I need the phone!
- She'll be done in a second.

But that's my phone!
This is an emergency!

Why don't you go use
my car phone?

Why doesn't she go use
your car phone?!

I live here,
did you forget that?

Fine.

Thank you.

- [phone rings]
- Save Finley.

So, how's the mobilization
going?

Great.
I feel so energized by this.

You know what?
I think we can win.

Gather a little courage,

it's amazing
what a mere mortal can do.

So, to what do I owe
the pleasure?

Well, I've got a little research

I was hoping we could discuss
tomorrow.

Do you want to meet for coffee?

How about lunch?

Give me that!

Perfect.

I want to hear all about
the group's progress.

Okay, tomorrow, then?

- Tomorrow.
- All right.

It's cold in here...

Yeah, it is.
Here, put this coat on.

Well, this coat has definitely
seen better winters.

Beverly Hills doesn't have
a very good selection

of winter coats.

But if you go to Fred's,
you can get something.

Okay, well...

But don't you think I need
something to buy it with?

Oh, we're back
to that topic again?

Do you think maybe you can write
me a check before I go?

Sure.

You're getting out of bed
and I'm writing a check.

Out of context,
that wouldn't look so good.

Well, the fun was for free.

It's the work
I want to get paid for.

Well, this ought to buy you

the warmest winter coat
you've ever seen.

$10,000?

Is this, like,
the first installment?

That's a lot of money.

Well, compared to the millions
you came away with, it isn't.

So what did you expect?

Well, haven't you ever heard
of maybe

"equal pay for equal work"?

I've heard of "greed".

Obviously,
something you know about.

Are you out of your mind?

Why, because I'm standing up

for what I have coming to me?

No, because if you want a piece

of the action,

that's a deal you make

before it goes down, not after.

You're the one who assumed

that my services were voluntary.

Your services
have been paid for.

Take it or leave it.

Fine.

Thanks for nothing.

[door shuts]

[Woman] Clare, right?

I'm Ariel Hunter.

"Firestorm Music,

Artists and Repertoire". Wow.

David, this is...

Ariel. How you doing?

Hey, David.

Old acquaintances?

Yeah.

Oh.

So you two are running
this place, huh?

What happened to performing?

It's on the back burner.

So what brings you here?

Uh, actually, Ray Pruit.

I was hoping to get
an introduction.

Sure. Let's do it.

Great.

See ya, David.

See ya.

Where's Clare taking
my little paramour?

She wants to meet Ray.

Musicians get all the women.
It kills me!

Yeah, it's gonna
kill Donna, too.

Look, Donna, I'm sorry
about your accident,

but of all nights
to forget my shirt.

I was sweating
buckets out there.

I'm sorry, but it's not like
I wanted to spend the last hour

on the phone
with the insurance company.

Look, it's fine, all right?
Just forget it.

- It's over now.
- [knocking]

Look, I gotta go, okay?

- Bye.
- All right.

There's someone here to see you.

Thanks, Clare.
It was nice meeting you.

You, too.

Hi, I'm Ariel Hunter
from Firestorm Music.

- You're the A&R rep?
- Mm-hmm.

I thought you flaked out on me.

I said I'd come by.

I'm a woman of my word.

Here, have a seat.

Thanks.

I liked your show.

I hear a lot of classic
rock in you.

Yeah, I grew up listening
to Graham Parker, Mellencamp,

a little Joe Cocker.

So you get by with a little help
from your friends?

Uh, listen, I really do think
your music is pretty great.

Thanks.

Do you say that
to all the guys you scout?

No, as a matter of fact,

I rarely stick around
to meet with them afterwards.

It gets their hopes up,
you know what I mean?

But when I see
someone I like, well,

then I come backstage,

I interrupt phone conversations,

quote old lyrics,
try to make them laugh.

And then I invite them up
to Firestorm

to meet with my boss,
Terry Dixon.

Terry Dixon.

- You've heard of him?
- Yeah.

Yeah, he's a heavyweight.

He's signed
a lot of great people.

That's right. It's my job
to keep up his reputation.

So...
will you come in for a meeting?

Yeah. Hell, yeah.

Great.

Jesse, she's still having
a tough time breathing.

Let's put her back in
the bathroom and steam her up.

No, I want her to stay sleeping.

God, I wish I didn't have to go.

Then don't.

Honey, I can't cancel
my interviews.

You want me to clerk
for a federal appeals judge,

don't you?

Only if you're based
in San Francisco.

- Think Boise.
- Don't say that.

They're already talking
of Judge Jimenez as a possible

Supreme Court nominee.
Look, if I could hook my cart

on to that horse, we could all
be in for quite a ride.

Ah, I wish that pediatrician
would call back already.

Ah, sweetheart...

you know you can always

take her to the emergency room.

I'm not gonna
take her out in the cold

so that we can just sit and wait
for hours for her to be seen.

Why don't you give
that med student

you know a call?

Who, Peter?

Yeah, give him a call

if you need some reassurance.

[horn honking]

There's my shuttle.

Here you go, sweetie.

I promise I will call you

as soon as I get
there, all right?

- Good luck.
- I love you.

[door opens then closes]

[sighs] All right, we'll call.

- All right.
- [crying]

Hello, is, uh,
Dr. Peter Tucker there?

- No.
- Is he on call?

- Can you hold?
- Yes, I'll... I'll hold on.

Don't look at me like that.

[Kelly] The rally tomorrow night
is going to be

quite a spectacle.

Good luck, Professor Finley.

Defy externs. You got it.

If only the university
were a democracy.

We'd capture the popular
vote by a landslide.

Hello, stranger.

We, uh, haven't seen you

over at the house lately.

Not to mention
not returning my phone calls.

Well, I haven't had a chance
to check my voice mail.

Cindy Walsh,

this is Professor Finley.

Proud mother of Brandon?

As a matter of fact.

Professor, what do I have to do

to steal ten minutes
of her time, huh?

Brandon, you know we've
been really busy

with the tenure fight.

Yeah, I know.

See ya.

- Bye.
- Bye.

You were a little frosty
with Mr. Walsh, weren't you?

Yeah, we're having our problems.

Something I can help you with?

Actually, it has to do with you.

Tell me.

I don't want to bore you

with the blow-by-blow
of my personal life.

Kelly,
I'm a psychology professor.

This is my bread and butter.

Feed me.

Well, as you know,

Brandon hasn't exactly been
on our side in this thing.

- It's put a little strain on us.
- That is a problem.

You need all the support
you can get right now.

Absolutely.
And you'd think my own boyfriend

would be a little bit
more understanding.

When the pressure's on,
people show their stripes.

I guess so.

David, we've gotta
make this quick.

I have two chapters
of Gothic Architecture

I've got to get through
before my next class.

Yeah, I'm... I'm busy, too.

I just thought this
was pretty important.

Okay, I'm listening.

It's about Ray and, uh,

and the A&R rep
that came by last night.

Oh, right, from Firestorm Music.

I'm so excited for him.

- Yeah, it's a big break.
- Yeah.

Listen, about the rep...

Ray said she was really nice.

Donna, would...

would you listen, please?

Look, the rep...

the rep is, uh... is Ariel.

- Ariel?
- [knocking on window]

- [Donna] David?
- Who's that?

- [David] It's Donna.
- David, open up.

What-what am I gonna do?

I don't know, don't look at me.

That Ariel?

Yeah, unfortunately.

Oh, my God.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry I, uh,

I just thought you should know.

Excuse me, I just got
a sickening case of déjà vu.

- I gotta go.
- Donna...

No, it's okay.

Thanks for telling me.

You're right.

Ray, it was more
than a pleasure.

I mean,
your demo's a little rough,

but it's good stuff.

- Thanks. Really.
- I think we'll be seeing

you again very soon.

All right.

Is he hungry?

- Starved.
- Good.

Make the deal happen.

You got it.

[sniffs]

I smell a deal brewing.

I don't know about that.

Would you stop it
with this modesty bit?

He was very impressed.

You know, you never
let yourself believe

when you're sitting in
the back of your truck,

plucking out a new song,

that somebody's actually
going to hear it,

- and like it.
- Sometimes fantasies come true.

I better not get ahead of myself

until there's actually
an offer made.

Well, I've got an offer for you.

Why don't you let me
take you shopping?

For what?

How about a new pair of boots?

- What's wrong with these?
- They're cool.

They're just a little
past their prime.

These boots have
sentimental value.

I bought them with my first
construction paycheck.

Well, there's nothing wrong with
having an extra pair, right?

On us?

Ariel, it's really
not necessary.

Come on, Ray, don't make me beg.

Well, we wouldn't want that.

Great. Let's go.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm surprised you actually
made an appointment.

Yeah, well, I'm getting kind
of formal on you.

Come on in.

[sighs]

So I hear congratulations
are in order.

I'm glad Suzanne and Kevin
finally got what they deserved.

Yeah, they should be
kicking back

in a Mexican jail
right about now.

Jim, I know if I'd listened
to you in the first place,

that, uh, none of that
would've happened.

Ah, it happens
to the best of us.

It's not gonna happen again.

Which is why I'm here.

I, uh...
I need a business manager.

I could recommend
a few names for you.

Actually, I was hoping you might
consider doing it yourself.

Not like last time, okay.

I mean, it's not a trust fund.

I'll call the shots, you just

keep the money moving around

where I can get the most
interest with the least risk.

I know I was a jerk before.

This time is different.

Yeah.

Well, you're different.

You'll think about it?

Sure.

By the way, about Mexico,

what exactly did you
and Valerie do down there?

I'll spare you the details.

Let's just say this,

your little houseguest--

$10,000 richer.

[door opens then closes]

[upbeat music playing
in background]

I'll take the whole outfit.

And, um, I'd like
to wear it home.

All right.
That'll be $965, plus tax.

What will that be,
check or credit?

Cash.

Here, try these on.

So, uh...

if I get signed, would I make
an album right away?

That's the way
record companies work.

My own musicians,
my own material?

Yes, whoever you want,
whatever you want.

Those are nice.

I don't know.

I'm not sure
they're really my style.

Oh, I think they are.

But you know, we can
keep looking until we find

exactly what you like.

Well, this is the last place
I'd expect to see you.

- Valerie, hey.
- Hi.

Yeah, this joint's
a little swanky for me.

It was, uh, Ariel's pick.

Ariel.

- Hi, I'm Valerie.
- Hi, Val.

Well, Ray's going to have
to get used to stores like this.

He's going to have a big career
at Firestorm Music.

Firestorm? Never heard of it.

It's a great label.

Ariel's an A&R rep there.

Well, I'm going to look
around a little more.

So, are you, like,
two-timing Donna?

No, of course not.

Ariel's just
a business associate.

[Valerie] Seems pretty chummy
for a business associate.

Whatever.

I don't know, Ray.

I think she's got
an eye for you.

But, don't we all?

These babies are worth
a paycheck and a half.

Ariel didn't even blink
at the price.

Well, they must provide well
at Firestorm.

Yeah. I gotta admit,

it would blow me away
to get signed by them.

You know, there
are other labels,

bigger than Firestorm.

Well, I like it there.

Ariel's taken a real interest
in me.

[sighs]

Look, Ray,

I never told you
why David and I broke up.

But, basically, Ariel Hunter
was the cause.

Ariel? How?

She came on to him, the same way

she's coming on to you.

Donna...

she's just interested

in my music, that's all.

Yeah, that's what
she said about David.

And the next thing I knew
they were holding "meetings"

in the back of a limo.

That is not going
to happen with me.

I don't want
to take any chances.

Look, I want you
to return the boots.

And I don't want you
to see Ariel again.

No, you can't ask me to do that.

Look, she buys gifts
for all her clients.

- It's part of her job.
- I don't care, I don't want you

- hanging around with her!
- Donna, this is the start

of something big for me!
Don't you get that?

So you can't do this for me?

This isn't about you.
It's about me.

And right now,
that's my top priority.

[door opens then slams shut]

So, why didn't you tell me
about this?

I don't know,
I guess I figured you'd read it

in the paper like everyone else.

Brandon, I am not everyone else.

I'm your girlfriend.

Could you say that a
little louder, please?

Sorry. It's just been
an intense time for me.

I understand.

Brandon, this means so much.

I mean,
now maybe the Faculty Council

will sit up and take notice.

Well, I wouldn't count on it

working too much magic,

but I am glad you're happy.

With you, I am.

Hey, what do you say we ditch
the rest of the day?

We'll go to
the Santa Monica Mountains,

have a little picnic,
watch the sunset.

What do you say?

I can't.

I have research
to do for Finley.

Blow it off.

He needs me.

I need you.

Was that your motivation
for writing this editorial?

No, it wasn't.

But like you say,
you are my girlfriend.

It would be nice to spend
a little time with you.

Is there something
so wrong with that?

No. I gotta go.

Have a little courage.

So, I, uh... I heard something
about you and Firestorm.

Well, Ariel's, you know,
promising good things

but nothing for sure yet.

Listen, Ray, just so you know,

Ariel might have
a few tricks up her sleeve.

I mean, she may be
into more than just your music.

Nothing I can't handle.

I figured that's
what you would say.

Hey, I didn't ask
for your advice, man.

Look, Ray, you can go back
to pushing pumpkins

for all I care, all right?

I'm just looking out for Donna.

Hey, no offense, David,

but Ariel didn't burn Donna

all by herself last summer.

I've got some songs
to run through.

You're never going to get
through the Gothics

at that pace.

Yeah, I know.

- I'm just so distracted.
- What's wrong?

I'm going crazy
with all this Ariel business.

Egh. If I had known
the backstory on her,

I never would have
introduced her to Ray.

Hey, it's not your fault.
At least you care.

You know,
I tried to tell Kelly about it,

and all I get
is her Finley psychobabble.

"Don't play the victim."

"Move forward with your life."

"Commit to evolving."

Yeah, she has been speaking
a different language lately.

But, if it's any help,

my dad says Finley's days
at C.U. are numbered.

Really? What about the appeal?

I don't know.

Apparently, he doesn't have much
support from his colleagues.

Well, I hate to say it,
but I'm sort of glad.

Well, don't flunk any exams
over it.

Ray says he'll be ten minutes.

So, what were you guys doing out
there for so long?

Just talking.

About?

Well, I tried
to tell him about Ariel.

- You did?
- Yeah.

I don't know
if I got through to him,

but, uh, it was worth a shot.

Thank you.

Well, look what
the cat done drug in.

Yeah. My new client.

How was Mexico, bro?

Mexican.

He was just filling us in.

Well, suffice it to say,

we're lucky they both
lived to tell the tale.

Come on. How bad
could it really have been?

Oh, think guns,

seduction, dirty money.

A real James Bond movie.

[Brandon] Let's go back
to that money.

How much was there,
and how dirty was it?

Well, Valerie walked off
with a cool $10,000.

How come nothing like that
ever happens to me? Huh?

She just looks better
in a dress than you do.

You know what I mean?

On that note,

shall we dig in?

Um... Dylan,
we don't mean to pry,

but we know that you have spent
some time with Valerie.

Yeah. Some.

In your opinion,
is there any reason

that we should be concerned
about her?

Let me tell you guys this.

If you thought you had
your hands full with Brenda,

this girl
is a much bigger package

with a much brighter bow.

[Valerie] Jonesy...

Listen. I figured, since
the craziness was over,

we could get to know each other
under more...

relaxing conditions.

Good thinking.

Although I did enjoy
playing charades

with you down there.

Well, I like charades myself.

Well, let's play a game.

- Now?
- Yeah. Why not?

Okay, ready?

Okay.

- [clicking tongue]
- Movie.

Three words.

First word.

Tired... sleep.

Sleep.

Okay.

Second word.

Small word?

Uh... for... of... with?

Sleep with...

Jonesy, I am not going
to sleep with you.

Well, why did you come here?

Okay, I'll level with you.

Please.

I know you had a girl lined up
to help you in Mexico.

And I know she was going to get
a cut for doing the job.

And, since I took over the gig,

I think I'm entitled
to that money.

Oh.

Now, Dylan didn't see it my way,

but you seem
to have a sense of honor.

Honor?

Are you sure you're talking
to the right Mr. Jones here?

Jonesy, I did a good job,
didn't I?

Darling, you came in like a pro,
and you went out like a pro.

Now I just want
to get paid like a pro.

Ah.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Um, I do happen to have

a little cash on hand.

Don't believe in banks, huh?

Just offshore ones.

Well, I like what I see.

I'll bet you do.

Now I will give you
what you came to get

under one condition.

Jonesy, I told you.

I'm not going to sleep with you.

No, no, no. Now, listen to me.

That's not what I meant.

Okay.

What's the condition?

That you work with me
sometime again.

That's it?

Okay.

And... [chuckles]

that you'll have
at least one drink with me.

Okay.

[Ariel] Are you crazy?
Terry Dixon wants

to make you a star.

I just need to think
about it, right?

What is there to think about?

He's offering you
a signing bonus

- and a two album deal.
- Yeah, and he also wants me

to give up
all my publishing rights.

It's just for the first album.

I explained this.
Don't go dumb on me.

Look, I didn't just get off
the turnip truck, okay?

I should at least get to keep
half of my publishing.

A lot of new artists
get this deal, Ray.

Yeah, but do they all write
and perform their own material?

Oh! I don't believe this!

No one's ever quibbled
about publishing before.

Maybe they didn't know better.

You make it sound like
we're trying to cheat you.

Look, Ariel, if you think

you can buy me off
with a new pair of boots

and this second-rate deal
keep thinking.

I don't come that cheap.

Ray, Terry
really wants this deal,

and I'm willing
to go all the way here.

Whatever it takes.

Yeah, I've heard that about you.

No deal.

Remind me why we're doing this.

Because you got a babysitter,
your husband's out of town

and so is my wife.

[chuckles]

It sounds a little, uh...

sounds a little dangerous to me.

Well, I live on the edge.

Well, I don't.

Not usually, anyway.

Well, you have to admit, it's
much more exciting than Boise.

[chuckles]

Come on, relax.

Look, it's the middle
of the afternoon,

we're in a public place.

I mean...

how dangerous can it get?

[laughing]

Oh, I don't know.

But my heart
is beating awfully fast,

- Dr. Tucker.
- Really?

Wow, you're right.

Should I call an ambulance,
or just take it as a compliment?

Take it anyway you like.

What can I say?

I know the tide
is running against us.

But it's just about fear.

They don't understand the things
I'm trying to teach you,

and that makes them crazy.

But don't lose heart.

I'm going into that meeting
tonight

with my head held high,

and I'm going to walk out
the same way,

Brandon.

Thanks for the editorial today.

Well, you're
the students' choice.

Tell that
to the Faculty Council.

Yeah. Uh, is Kelly around?

In my office.

- Do you mind?
- Go ahead.

[talks quietly]

[clearing throat]

Who are the pretty flowers for?

A pretty lady.

Hmm.

From a pretty nice guy.

Good luck tonight.

Thanks. We'll need it.

Listen, um, if I've been
selfish lately, I'm sorry.

It's only because I love you.

I know.

Thank you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Excuse me. I'm looking
for Ray Pruit.

Do you know when I can
catch him rehearsing?

Not really, but you can, uh,

catch him having
a tuna melt right now.

Oh. Thanks a lot.

[clears throat]

We need to talk.

We don't have anything
to talk about.

If you don't mind, I'm trying
to have lunch with my boyfriend.

Well, your boyfriend
made a very foolish,

not to mention arrogant,
move today.

My company offered him
a very fair deal.

I'm going to go
get my stuff, all right?

Donna, you have to talk to him.

He's making
such a stupid mistake.

Look, Ray isn't stupid, Ariel.

And why should I help you,

after you stabbed me
in the back this summer?

Okay, I deserve that.

Look, I'm really sorry
about what happened with David.

But I'm a different person now.

I'm sorry, too.

But I have no reason
to believe you.

Donna...

you're not going
to lose Ray to me,

but you just might lose him

to that ego of his.

Hi.

Hey.

Ready to go?

Thank you.

For what?

Not taking the deal.

I gotta tell you, Donna,
you were right about Ariel.

Is that why you turned it down?

No, actually, I turned it down
because it was a bad deal.

Well, whatever the reason,

I'm just glad you did it.

Come on.

[horn honking]

Let me guess,

you took the $10,000

and you leased a car?

The money you gave me

was peanuts.

I own this car.

How did you manage that?

I found somebody a little bit

more honorable than you.

What did you say to Jones?

Not much.

I just kind of smiled

and his wallet
kind of flew open.

Kind of like a hooker?

I'm not a hooker.

And even if I was...

...you couldn't afford me.

How long of a night
do you figure we're in for?

I don't know, but I'm staying
till the vote comes down.

What's the verdict?

[Man] Hey...
Hey, is Finley in or out?!

- What's going on, guys?
- What's going on?

[murmuring]

Come on, we have
a right to know.

This doesn't look good.

[murmuring]

- Here he comes.
- Shh.

Look at you all,
out here for me still.

My... my constant soldiers.

Unfortunately this is one battle
that we did not win.

[crowd groaning]

Listen... you all fought
the good fight,

and I'm grateful to you.

And just because we lost here,

doesn't mean this is over.

I am a teacher.

And if you all want
to be my students,

then that's all that matters
at the end of the day.

That's right, that's right.
[all agreeing]

I may not be welcome
at this university,

but I can give
my lectures under a tree,

or from a park bench or in my
own living room if I have to.

Be assured,
the New Evolution will go on.

- Yeah! Yeah!

[whoops]

Thank you. Thank you.

I have to go to him.

Go ahead.

Kelly, you're here.

Where else would I be?

[whispering]
I need to get out of here.

Thank you.

How could this happen?

It's simple. They don't like me.

And the fact that I'm popular
with the students.

That doesn't make any sense.

They're threatened, Kelly.

It's nature of the beast.

The unevolved beast.

Yes.

But what good is it
looking backwards?

We're not going to implode just
because a bunch of "externs"

pulled a power trip on me.

You're so inspiring.

So are you.

At least something good
came out of this.

So, what do we do now?

We go on.

The most important thing

is that we stay together,

close our circle to outsiders.

Okay.

How can I help?

You've been indispensable
to me, Kelly,

but now you face
a difficult test.

A test to see how committed
you really are to this fight.

You know I'm committed, 100%.

It's about Brandon.

What about Brandon?

He doesn't share
your passion, Kelly.

He's been projecting
negative energy

about the New Evolution,
right from the start.

Yeah, I guess he hasn't
exactly been won over.

That's no good to you.

It's no good for any of us.

I need you to do something
that will keep our family

as tight-knit as it needs to be.

I'll do anything.

I need you to break it off
with Brandon.

Would you do that for me?
