The following program contains mature
subject matter and violence.

Viewer discretion is advised.

You're back.

I'm back.

Vivian? Where have you been for the past
15 years? I have been on the run from

Gideon Varga.

No, Viv.

So, anything else going on?

Nope. Hi.

This is Jessica.

Nice to meet you. Who are you? Tomo
Hayashi, Varga's right hand. Mr. Varga

offering another way to pay your
remaining debt. What's the job? You are

to steal us a diamond.

Okay, so what am I looking at here?

Feeds that will blossom into the most
kick -ass heist there's ever been.

Because if we're going to get the
diamond Gideon Varga wants, the plan

be meticulous.

Okay, I know we only got this assignment
yesterday, but do you actually think we

can pull this off?

It's insane and impossible, but we'll be
murdered if we don't, so yes, we

absolutely can.

I admire your positivity.

Which is lessening by the minute. I'm
glad your dead mother is alive, but does

she have to do that living in my
kitchen?

What's she doing? Whipping up a solution
for 15 years of abandonment?

Ricky. I understand that you're happy to
have your mother back, but don't you

think you're going a little easy on her?
Of course.

I'm angry at what she did, but it's my
mom, and I have her back.

So it's all I want to think about, that
I have my mom back.

Okay, be nice.

Happy French Toast Friday.

My gosh, I forgot about French Toast
Friday.

They're shaped like little hearts.

What is this alliterative breakfast
event?

Okay, so every Friday, no matter where
we were, we would make French toast. I

would stir the batter.

Mom and Dad would man the griddle.

I love French toast Friday.

Speaking of which, I thought your father
was coming.

Something came up. Oh, like what?

Resentment, anguish, the seething rage
of betrayal.

Ricky.

Mom, he just needs more time.

You know what?

Totally understand.

I was just hoping things would go back
to normal.

He'll come around. In the meantime,
Ricky and I are very grateful that you

your French chefs are back.

Duty call.

Hey, Chief.

Is that, uh, is that right, Ricky?

Are you happy I'm back?

Absolutely. You've taken millions of
dollars from me and endangered my life,

bread soaked in egg and cinnamon makes
it all worth it.

You know, you do a lot more yelling when
I'm the one making you breakfast.

Well, I'm Mark's favorite. He trusts me.

Mark, she's giving you tuna for
breakfast.

She's spoiling you. Well, I thought
about bludgeoning a dock mouth for him.

But tinned fish with less men.

Oh, you're not going to join us? I wish
I could. I made myself a breakfast

burrito to go. It's my first day back at
the paper after Mexico. I still have to

shower and change and brush my teeth. It
works.

Maybe I'll see you later.

Chief Lee, good morning.

So what did Lee say this was? Someone
dead in a warehouse?

That's all he said, so I guess that's
when we get there.

Roger, Roger.

So, Jessica, she seems great.

Yeah, she is.

Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't bring her up
earlier. I should have, and I didn't,

and I'm sorry. I know that was a little
bit awkward at the boat, but thank you

for just being cool about that. No, it's
fine. Don't even worry about it.

So how did you two meet?

Well, when I first got down to Mexico,
we were on the beach, and I guess we

ordered the same drink, so when the
bartender put it down, we both reached

it at the same time.

Oh, real -life meet -cute.

Yeah. We got to talking and figured out
we had a lot in common.

She's a journalist. She just finished an
intense, years -long investigation, and

I just... Solved Daniel's case.

Yeah.

We communicate really well. We get along
great. And honestly, more than

anything, it's been really easy, you
know?

Sorry, is this weird that we're talking
about this? Because we do not need to

talk about it at all.

Why would it be weird?

We're co -workers.

Co -workers tell each other about their
cool new girlfriend.

Co -workers.

Right.

Looks like this is it.

Detective Ellis? That's right.

This is Max Mitchell, my consultant.

I'm also really good at purchasing, but
he never mentions such people.

All right, you'll need these to get into
the space.

Follow me. Great, thanks.

Max, come on.

It's too good to be true.

What is? No, no, you don't understand.

It's too good to be true. The boy band.

Oh, aren't they famous in, like, the
90s? Into the 2000s, but they're doing

worldwide comeback tour.

Wait, is this where Too Good To Be True
is rehearsing? Yeah.

You're a fan, I take it?

Okay, fan is an understatement. I knew
every single move to their song, Our

Is On The Line. My very first podium was
their song, Cuckoo Bananas, Girl You

Drive Me Wild. This band was my
childhood.

Wait, wait, wait.

Does this mean that one of the Too Good
To Be True boys is dead?

What if it's Rusty, the oldest one, or a
drug relapse from Cody the Bad Boy?

Between us, someone whispered something
about Theo.

Scan your badge here.

Right. Why can't we... Theo, he's the
hottest pop star there is.

Stay with me.

So hot, he burned to a crisp.

We'll be seeing you in that box.

But it wasn't.

Oh, thank God.

Sorry, fangirl reaction.

So who was killed?

Buzz, too good to be true's longtime
tour manager.

He's my mentor, or was.

I can't believe this happened.

What exactly is your role on the tour?

I'm the assistant tour manager.

Buzz was my boss.

I've worked with him forever.

He gave me my start.

He was going to retire as soon as the
boys got on the road.

Finally relaxed.

I don't know what we're going to do
without him. What I'm going to do.

What was Buzz doing on the page?

We were about to do a tech run, but Theo
got a call. Buzz didn't want to fall

behind schedule, so he stepped in for
him, of course.

But it seems the smoke line into the
prop phone booth got switched for a fire

line. How does something like that even
happen?

You'll have to ask Pyro Poppy.

Who?

Poppy?

Pyro Poppy.

Pyro Poppy. Sorry.

You do all the pyrotechnics for the
band, is that right?

Yeah. So walk us through how something
like this happens.

Things like this don't happen to me.

I install the smoke lines myself and
check them 20 minutes before tech

Now, were you in the rehearsal space in
that 20 minutes before the tech run

started? No, we were out back with the
rest of the crew grabbing breakfast.

brought in a crepe truck for us.

Buzz loved crepes. He was a real pal,
you know. We started working together on

that Too Good to Be True Tour boyfriend
material, classic album.

You remember that tour kit?

This whole comeback is on your
shoulders, but we're going to get

together. Is there any way that those
lines could have got mixed up by

No. No way.

This was intentional.

Wait, you're saying someone did this on
purpose?

Look, I mean, if that's the case and
Theo was supposed to be in the box...

Theo was likely the intended target.

Where is he? He should be put under
surveillance.

He's with the rest of the band.

We need to speak to them right now.

Hey, honey. Okay, I got the biggest
news.

The biggest.

Guess who I'm about to meet.

Uh, Polanka.

What? No.

David Beckham. No.

Oh, that's too bad.

Too good to be true.

Oh, our favorite boy band?

I know, isn't it amazing?

I mean, I know it's for a murder
investigation, but still, amazing.

Oh, okay, I gotta go. I'll tell you more
tonight.

Who was that?

My plumber. You know, piped. Needing,
uh, maintenance.

Okay.

So, Acton, any thoughts on who might
want to kill Pugh?

No clue.

You never know.

That's why we have our lanyard scanning
system.

Keep any crazy fans out.

A boy band from the 90s still has crazy
fans.

Excuse me? Too good to be true is more
than just a boy band, Ellis.

They were the biggest group on the
planet from 1996 to 2010.

Think Beatlemania with Nokia phones and
frosted tips.

So what happened?

One day they just became old news. The
only one who walked away with a solo

career was Theo. Okay, him I know. You?
Knowing pop culture outside of Will

Documentary? No, it's not by choice. I
mean, he's everywhere.

I'm surprised he agreed to this tour. He
was the only one holding out on the

reunion. So what changed?

Well, he wanted to do the rest of the
guys a solid.

None of them had solo careers and
they're family.

Fun fact, Cody and Theo used to be
neighbors growing up.

So... This is the green room. The boys
are in there. All right, we'll take it

from here, Axton.

Thank you.

That poster is their way -too -Y2K album
cover. Their peak.

They're dreamy.

Okay, Max, before we go inside, are you
going to be able to keep it together on

this one? I am nothing if not profesh.

Gentlemen, you're here for Bud?

Yes. I'm Detective Ellis. This is Max
Mitchell, my consultant.

I'm sorry for your loss, guys.

Poor Buzz.

Life is so fleeting.

It's like one minute you're doing a last
minute audition for a Scorsese's new

movie and then finding your tour
manager's barbecue.

I don't even know what's going in for
me.

No, it was Buzz.

Probably stepping up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where'd you go?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where'd you go?

My heart is shattered.

Now I'm feeling low.

We are not worthy.

Max, what happened to my bash?

I'm human, okay?

That song was actually written for our
producer's missing golden retriever, but

it pertains. Okay, let's just focus
here, okay, gentlemen?

Gonna need your help with this
investigation.

Investigation? What do you mean?

It was a horrible accident.

It seems like one of the fire lines was
intentionally switched and Theo was

supposed to be in that box.

You're saying someone tried to kill me?

Given what we know, it's quite possible.

You okay, man?

My whole life is like flashing before my
eyes right now.

Why would anyone want to kill me?

That's what we're trying to determine.

Wait, where's Cody?

The fourth member.

I haven't seen him since this morning.
He was really upset when he saw Buzz's

body.

He took off.

Really? You don't think Cody did it, do
you?

We're investigating all possibilities.

Okay.

Great, thank you. So as a general rule,
let's just cool it on the breaking of

the song, yeah?

I appreciate your cooperation there,
gentlemen.

You got it. All right?

Okay,

let's not listen to Captain Buzzkill.

One more. Time from the top.

Would you rather eat a stink bug or make
out with a llama but with full tongue?

You know, I hate playing this game with
you.

Alice, what's up? Simmons, I need you
and Yates to track somebody down. He's a

member of Too Good to Be True.

That boy band or something, right?

Yeah, look, their tour manager, Buzz,
was just murdered. But it looks like one

of the band members was the real target.
One of them just took off.

Very suspicious.

His name's Cody.

Cody, huh.

Any leads where he might have went?

He's been sober for 10 years, but he's
in and out of rehab. And he's got a

history of substance abuse.

Yeah, copy that. We'll find the guy.

We'll find the guy.

Why did your voice sound weird just now?

It didn't. I know you better than you
know yourself, Simmons, and I'm telling

you it did.

Wow.

Those guys are good.

Are you going to stop fangirling for
five minutes and actually do some work?

Like, oh, I don't know, help me
interview the band?

Look, our love is on the line a number
one hit for 29 weeks straight.

Yes, it was.

Okay, look, we need to know where all
the band members were 20 minutes before

the tech rehearsal started.

Start with Rusty. What's his deal?

He's the mature one.

Sorry. My nebulizer.

The steam helps with my vocal folds. A
lot of fingers use these.

Sure. Theo?

Theo? He's the cute one. The star.

So my Scorsese edition was super last
minute.

I mean, it was more of a creative call.

Marty knows I can do the part. It's just
a matter of scheduling or whatever.

But after the call, I come back out.

Buzz was dead.

What about Noah?

Noah's... The other one.

I was in here before tech rehearsal,
taking care of some administrative stuff

for my portfolio.

When the band broke up, I got into
stocks and invested well. I'm on this

for the music, not the money.

Did you notice anything strange before
the tech run started?

Cody was a little off.

Listen, I grew up with Cody.

Like, we've been next -door neighbors
since we were like two years old. Like,

love the guy.

But he was acting like a weirdo all
morning.

Sure, Cody was behaving differently.

But I don't believe he would have killed
Theo. Cody wouldn't hurt a fly.

Besides, we're a family. We're family.

We're family.

Okay, Noah and Rusty don't have alibis,
and Cody, well, he's in the wind, Phil.

He looks more guilty than all of them.
Do you really think one of the band

members tried to kill Theo?

The only reason this tour is even
happening is because Theo agreed to do

There's no too good to be true without
Theo. That would be like Journey without

Steve Perry or Queen without Freddie
Mercury.

You know, both of those bands have
replaced their lead singers and still

Okay, well, you heard the guys. They're
like a family.

Action. What's going on here?

Look.

Okay, so they're like a dysfunctional
family.

to say that no guy can kind of sing yeah
low -key he's the best singer in the

group so why wasn't he the front man
because he was a cute one and cute trump

pipe in a boy band hey guys what's up
you mind explaining this

when

too good to be true was formed i was the
lead singer Then when

Theo joined, the label wanted him as
frontman. I took a back seat for the kid

the band. But this tour was supposed to
be different.

I was promised I would get to perform
the one song where I'm lead. Too Hot to

Chillax. You know it? Yeah, it's only my
favorite Too Good to Be True song.

Wow.

That means a lot.

Thanks. Okay, Noah, look. Why did you
punch Theo?

He decided to cut Chillax from the set
list.

Said it wasn't the right fit for the
concert. It's always about control with

him. You seem really mad at him.

Listen, did I hit Theo?

Yes, and he deserved it.

But I would never kill him.

We're brothers.

Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but I think he's
telling the truth.

Me too. It's hard to believe anybody
could be that good at lying.

Except for maybe me.

Because truthfully, Noah sounds great on
chillax, but as a song, it's incredibly

mid.

You told them it was your favorite song.
Of course I did.

Would you tell Jane Goodall that her
guerrilla sign language was only just

Jane Goodall will put you in banshees.
I'll have you know. Okay?

Same thing.

Chief Lee, got any updates?

Based on security footage, looks like an
unknown person entered the warehouse

just before the murder.

The car license plate is assigned to a
Wallace Marbovich. You need to bring him

in now.

Okay, we'll see you back at the station.

We're running out of bars to check.
Where the hell is this guy?

Well, yeah, maybe we're looking in the
wrong places.

Like how?

Just because he's a recovering addict
doesn't mean he relapsed. Okay, well,

do you suggest?

If you were, what's his name? Cody.

You know his name is Cody. Okay, where
would you go?

Maybe someplace sentimental.

Sentimental how?

Someplace to do with his childhood.

What is happening right now? Look up his
hometown.

Are you looking it up?

Wait, he threw me here.

Oh, no kidding.

Specifically the neighborhood you just
turned left into. What?

How about that?

Oh, a clown.

There's got to be a way I can make a
stop.

I can pay. I can pay. Well, well, easy
there. We don't take bribes for murder

charges, right?

Well, uh...

Murder? I thought this was about my
unpaid parking ticket. And the work has

unsteady. What kind of work is it that
you do? I sing at kids' birthday

But there's a new magician in town, one
of the greats. He makes a donkey

disappear. And suddenly I'm all news.

So it's been a struggle to make rent.

What were you doing at Too Good to Be
True's rehearsal space?

You know about that? That was supposed
to be top secret. Top secret according

who? Theo.

He said that it couldn't get out that I
was auditioning for the band. Like

replacing somebody?

Who? They didn't say. They just sent the
audio file and I learned the part.

And you were with Theo the whole time
during the audition?

He stepped out for like five minutes to
take a phone call, but other than that,

yeah, he was with me. And you have no
idea who you were supposed to be

replacing?

Could you sing your part for the song
for me?

Yeah.

I'm not one for the pieces.

And I need you and I know you need this.
Okay, that'll do. Thank you.

You know how smart that is, don't you?
Was Theo once engaged to a Kardashian?

Yes, he was.

Okay, great.

And I'm not one for the pieces.

Because I need you and I know you need
me.

I'm not supposed to let anyone in for
this session.

Cut the music.

But I'm not one for the pieces.

Theo's replacing me. So you didn't know.
Of course I didn't know.

I've been busting my ass and he's going
to toss me aside?

Oh, that is classic Theo. I don't get
it, Rusty. I've seen millions of videos

you online singing beautifully.

Yeah, that was then.

Now I have vocal fold nodules.

My vocal cords are strained, and it's
damaged my ability to sing.

And the nebulizer?

And the meditation.

And the acupuncture.

I've been doing everything I can think
of to be tour -ready. But Theo, he's

pissed because my voice isn't fixed yet.

I didn't think he was going to kick me
out.

What happened to being a family?

That must be hard.

Having the thing you love most taken
away from you.

I've been singing.

My whole life.

I don't know who I am without it.

I just wish we could go back to how
things were.

I'll get you a water, a sandwich,
coffee.

How do you take it?

I'm okay, thanks. Yeah? Okay.

You're offering our suspect a snack?

Standard practice.

No, it's not.

Okay, Cody, what were you doing in the
car where we found you? I was parked in

front of the house I grew up in. I just
needed to clear my head. After

committing a murder?

Hey, whoa.

Easy.

I'm sorry about my partner.

Your bandmates said that you were acting
weird leading up to Buzz's death. Is

that because you knew what was about to
happen? Not that we're accusing you of

anything. Is this a good cop, bad cop
thing?

No, it's, uh, we're both cops, so why
are you acting like this thing?

I know how it looks, me running.

And I have been acting weird.

Why is that? I have been sober for ten
years, but I have never performed sober.

Not even during the 1997 MTV Music
Awards when you were driving that

around the ring of fire with the ball
constrictor around your neck. You

that? I was high as a kite for that.

Really? I never would have guessed that.

That's crazy.

Back in the day, getting wasted helped
me feel free.

But now that I'm sober, there is nowhere
to hide.

It's just me.

And you were scared to relapse. That's
why I was on a FaceTime with my sponsor,

Lloyd, for that hour leading up to the
tech rehearsal.

Lloyd said if I got overwhelmed to get
out of there for the sake of my

so when I saw Buzz die in front of me...
You bolted.

Otherwise, I was going to dive headfirst
into some really terrible decisions.

Oh, what is wrong with me? I don't want
to relapse, but the idea of letting Theo

down is driving me crazy.

Yeah, I heard he's a real jerk.

Theo can be a lot.

But he's looked out for me, man.

I mean, he even offered me a cameo in
his solo tour last year. I told

him.

Things fell apart.

What do you mean things fell apart?

What did you learn from the
interrogation with Cody?

Just that Simmons is a giant, mega,
possibly stalker -esque, too -good -to

-true fanboy.

What?

Simmons? You've been holding out on me?

Okay, fine.

You got me.

I had every album. I knew all the dance
moves. So what? You should have seen it.

He was all nervous and accommodating,
saying things like, oh, can I get you a

drink, a sandwich, my firstborn?

Listen, I was a quiet kid, okay? Bit of
a loner. But when Our Love's on the Line

came out, I learned all those dance
moves, I performed it at the school

show, and I won.

Wow. Overnight, everybody looked at me
differently, and that's when it hit me.

It wasn't about the dance moves. It was
about confidence. That's what Cody and

that boy band, they showed me what true
confidence really looked like.

You know the dance?

Do it right now.

I'm a grown man.

That's not going to happen.

Don't be ashamed. This is a too -good
-to -be -true safe space.

The point is, Cody is alibi. He was on
FaceTime with his sponsor before the

run. But, juicy reveal, Theo's tour last
year was canceled due to low ticket

sales. So that's why he's back with the
band.

Golden Boy was floundering.

Right, but where does this get us on the
case?

It's not like Theo was trying to
orchestrate his own murder.

No, but maybe this was all a publicity
thing for this tour.

Axton said there was renewed press
interest after Buzz's death. Maybe Theo

tampered with the fire line and made
sure he wasn't in the entrance lock.

All to create more buzz.

No, pun intended.

Right, because a near -death thing for
Theo would garner a lot of attention for

him in the tour.

Wasn't Theo with that birthday singing
guy before the run even started?

Yeah, well, birthday singing guy. a .k
.a. Wallace, said that Theo stepped out

for a five -minute phone call. Just
enough time to mess with the fire of

techniques. Look, it's late, but let's
put in a request for Theo's phone

records. They won't come in until the
morning, but maybe they'll give us a

better sense of what's really going on
here. All right, we're on it.

Mom!

What?

This is amazing!

I wanted to do something special.

And your favorite.

Amazing. Ah, okay.

That's the mac and cheese with extra
cheese.

Also your favorite.

You know what might be fun?

If we went to see the Too Good to Be
True concert.

Yeah.

That would be great.

You have truly enlightened me to the
peaceful joy of nature documentaries.

I told you.

Plus, who knew that orcas were actually
members of the dolphin family?

I mean, we definitely knew that. Right,
Mark?

Mark.

It's getting late.

I should probably get home.

Oh.

Okay.

I've just been staying over a lot. I
don't want to invade your space.

Right. Okay.

I get it.

Okay.

Okay, here I go.

See you tomorrow?

See you tomorrow.

Oh, this is funny to you? Yeah, it's
real funny. I spent five hours last

surfing all this crap.

Five hours?

That's not dedication. That's a cry for
help. You need a hobby. I have hobbies.

No, appropriate hobbies.

I have appropriate hobbies.

Ooh, look at all this. Can I have this?
Mm -hmm. Oh, there's a lot more where

that came from. Well, I want one of
each.

Oh, yeah. I got you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How was your night?

Yeah, it was great.

How was yours?

Oh, so great.

That's so great.

Mac, tell us. We got a situation.

Get down in the rehearsal space.

Now.

Okay. Well, what's up?

Something happen to Cody?

You okay?

I don't know.

How are we going to do this? Can I make
a suggestion?

Can I make a suggestion? This guy right
here. I'm over it. I'm over it. I can't.

I know.

So, what's going on?

Disaster. The label postponed the tour.
They say it's too dangerous to move

forward with a killer on the loose.

You guys aren't taking it well.

All right, let's go.

See, it's good the tour's off.

We were crazy to think we could go back
to how things were.

And the idea of being stuck in a tour
bus with this jackass is a literal

nightmare. Well, joke's on you because I
was going to play private. Oh, my God.

Dude, you're the worst.

A detonation occurred right over here.

What are we thinking? Pipe bomb?

Molotov cocktails? Some anarchist
cookbook type stuff?

It was a firework set off by a remote
detonator.

What's with all this red stuff in the
debris?

These are metal salts.

They will give color to the firework.

It's Simmons.

I'll go talk to Poppy.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh, my God.

You're right. There is a firing unit
missing.

This is your gear, though, right? You
don't think I did this.

Both incidents have involved your
equipment.

I would never hurt these guys. They're
like sons to me.

Okay, okay, like nephews, like hot 40
-year -old singing nephews, but all I

wanted to do was my job. Me and Buzz, we
started out together. We were going to

finish this tour together, but then...
Finish this tour together?

I thought Buzz was retiring as soon as
the band got on the road.

His plan changed.

Yesterday morning he comes to me with
the good news that he's going to stay

around for the full tour.

What made him change his mind?

Well, you've met these guys, right?
They're sweet, but they're a handful.

Buzz knew they needed him. There's no
way they could pull off this tour

him. What about Axton?

Wasn't he going to just take over?

Buzz loved Axton, but he didn't feel
like he was ready.

And truthfully, Buzz never thought he
would retire.

Retirement and eight for people like me
and him. What are we going to do?

Join a book club?

No, our work is who we are.

You can't arrest me, dude.

I did not do this. I would never.

Excuse me.

Hey.

So Simmons got a hold of Theo's phone
records.

He was on a FaceTime call with his agent
for the five -minute window when he

stepped out of the room.

So Theo didn't have anything to do with
this.

But there was a text message that I
found that was interesting.

Here.

So this plus Buzz's retirement story is
all different than what we were told

before. I think we need to take a look
at today's CCTV footage.

Okay, great.

Hey, I got the band together like you
asked. Right.

Where's Max?

I don't know.

Max,

what are you doing?

What? This is my chance to make a pop
star entrance.

Get over here.

Fine. You do it your way.

So? Who's trying to kill me? No one.

Because you were never the target.

If Theo wasn't the target, then who was?
Theo, why was your audition with

Wallace moved up? I was told that was
the only time I could do it. Who said

that? Axton.

Axton, you texted Theo an hour before
the tech round. Hey, man, audition for

Rusty's moving up to 950.

If the tech round was supposed to start
at 10, I mean, Theo never would have

made it.

New Rusty?

Sorry, man. The schedule's always
shifting, especially close to tour. And,

mean, we have a clear suspect, right?

Pyro Poppy is the obvious culprit.

You little Judas.

Pyro Poppy's gear was used, yes, but
she's not the one that set off the

explosion.

Accident, why are you wearing a
different shirt than you were this

What do you mean?

I'm not.

Well, security gave us a CCTV footage
from outside the warehouse, and you're

wearing a different shirt than you're
wearing right now.

We found this shirt in your office. You
know, the one you changed out of.

Pyro Poppy, you mind telling us what
this looks like right here? Yeah.

Color fireworks sometimes stain the
clothes.

And our forensics team just confirmed
that this is the same metal salt residue

we found at the explosion site, which
means that was you that set off that

explosion. You wanted to make sure the
tour continued, so you made sure Theo

wasn't in his trailer when the explosion
went off, and you framed Pyro Poppy.

You people are crazy. I mean, why would
I do any of this?

Poppy told us that Buzz shared he wasn't
retiring anymore.

He was going to stay on with you guys.

He was?

Yeah, he loved you guys. He wanted to be
there for you.

But Buzz only shared that news with two
people, Pyro Poppy and you, Maxton.

You've been Buzz's assistant for years.
You knew a promotion like this would be

huge for your career.

Until yesterday morning when he told you
he wasn't retiring anymore. In fact, he

might never retire.

And you didn't like that, did you? You
wanted him out of the way so that you

could be the tour manager. And that's
when you decided to kill him.

How could you do that? You were a part
of our family, man.

Family?

I don't even like you people.

You're a bunch of entitled has -beens.

And screw Buzz.

Do you know how much of a control freak
that guy was?

He never trusted me with anything.

So yeah, I took matters into my own
hands.

I moved the audition and I switched the
line. Because I knew that Buzz would

step in for Theo. And he did.

It's his own fault.

We'll see how well that holds up in
court.

Hey!

Well, thanks, kids, for cracking this
one.

Totally thorough, relentless, completely
annoying, like my buddy Bud.

Thank you, Poppy. You're free to go.

Later, guys.

Yeah.

I got something to say.

Uh... Axton was right.

What? Not about, like, doing murder.

I have been acting entitled.

More like crazy. I've been spinning out
ever since my solo tour fell apart, and

I just, I was terrified.

I'm not what I used to be. Truth is,
you're not what you used to be.

And Rusty's not what he used to be.

Or Cody, or me.

It's been 15 years.

We've gotten married.

Divorced. Gotten sober.

Had kids.

Things have changed, but that's not a
bad thing. It's not about pretending

1998 again.

It's about moving forward.

Embracing who we are now.

Together.

I love you guys.

Can you forgive me?

Are we gonna group hug or what?

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Okay, well, dishes are all done.

I would have helped, but... Yeah, I get
it.

Cat and lap makes the rules, right?

Oh, well, I guess Mark has spoken.

I should probably go home.

Uh, don't go.

Really? Because last night when I went
to leave, you didn't stop me.

But I wanted to.

And I didn't want to push it.

I know that things are different now
that we're not on vacation. It is

different, but in a good way.

Look, I was nervous to ask you to stay
the other night because... Sometimes...

It's hard for me to open up to women.

Because the last time I did, I got
burned.

Ah.

He has trust issues.

Yes, he has trust issues.

But I trust you. At least, I want to.

I want it to be different with you, and
I want to hold back.

Okay.

Let's promise to always be honest about
what we're really feeling.

I'm a journalist.

Truth is in my bones. I can't do it any
other way.

Okay.

Deal.

Okay. I, um, got you something.

Oh.

I did kind of break the bank on this
one, so don't be expecting anything for

Christmas.

I thought that you could keep it here
for the nights that you decide to stay.

I'm like that.

Never been swept off my feet by routine
dental hygiene.

Well, what can I say? I'm a romantic
kind of guy.

Hey, Mom.

Ah, honey, good news.

I found some of...

The most chaotic interviews from Too
Good to be True's 90s era.

Rusty and the Hiccups is so insanely
funny.

Mom, can we talk?

Of course.

Last night, you mentioned going to the
Too Good to be True show.

And I'm not sure if you remember, but 15
years ago, we had tickets to go to the

concert.

But we didn't.

Because you died.

Oh, my God.

I'd completely forgotten about that. I
am so sorry.

I was just so happy to have you back. I
wasn't thinking about how all of this

must feel for you.

The situation is complicated. I mean,
there's no self -help book when your mom

comes back from the dead.

Trust me, I've looked.

I just can't pretend that no time has
passed between us. We're not the same

people that we were 15 years ago.

But I'd like to get to know you now.

That sounds wonderful.

So tell me something about you that I
don't know.

Honestly?

Yes.

I don't like too good to be true. I love
how excited they make you, but I just

can't with their music.

Wow.

Okay. So what music do you like?

Ska. Ska? Like with the trumpet?

In the fedora? Yes.

It's a grossly underrated genre, by the
way, and I will make you a playlist.

You know what?

Deal.

Deal.

I can't believe we get to see Too Good
to Be True's last tour rehearsal.

You said this job doesn't come with
perks.

Hey, you think I can get him to sign my
shirt?

Okay, shut up, nurse. They're starting.

Baby, I've been calling.

So tell me, are you falling?

Baby, I won't ever lose your number in
this heart of mine.

Never when our love is all in.

This could be the greatest day of my
life.

It's true.

Great.

Lightning comes before the thunder.

When you gave me your private number.

I doubt I'll know what's going under.

But when I rang your phone, all I got
was a busy tone.

But I don't want to fall to pieces.

Oh, I need you and I know you need me.

Oh, I'm never ever going to be the one
to resist.

Hey. I wanted to say, you know you're
more than just my co -worker, right?

You're also my friend.

And a man.

And as my friend, I'm happy that you
found somebody that makes you happy.

Thank you for saying that.

And that we can evolve.

Together.

Yeah. I'm happy for that, too.
