It is the end of the semester and people are ready to party, baby!

Woo! I'm free!

That is right.

Your boy is almost done with college.

For real this time.

You know what else is real? The pit in my stomach about not knowing what is

next. I'm at the point of my journey where if I'm going to make it, I have to

take a leap of faith. You got yourself a deal, partner. After my petite hiccup

with Brock, a.k.a. Gamma Griftergate 2024,

a lot of my clients took a leap away from me. But I have faith that the real

ones will stay. After our 10 out of 10 kiss no notes, I invited Kayla on our

first official dinner date.

I can't wait for us to just chill, relax.

Bitch,

you're back!

Who? Uh...

He was scared, so I'm going to let that one slide.

But, yes, I am indeed back, bitches.

And as much as I'd like to tell you about all the fabulous things I've been

up to, this is not about me for once. So I must bid you adieu.

Adieu. It just reminds me so much of my time in Paris.

Doing it again. Caught myself.

Let me focus.

Hi. So are you going to do your whole thing?

No, I'm done. Or what? Because it's kind of a big moment for me.

I was going to get emotional.

Well, I am here for whatever you need, because I know how being hurled into the

real world can be just such a daunting and stressful... Yes, yes, thank you for

reminding me. I was actually in the middle of trying to soak in the last

moments of this college cocoon before I'm thrust into the real world.

What?

I got dropped again?

By who?

My best friend.

This is what I say.

One, two, three, four.

Oh

my

God.

Okay.

Thank you.

Damn,

that's crisp.

I just don't get it. As soon as Zeke is up for the draft, he just up and leaves

me for Rich Paul? I was counting on that commission to keep me afloat. I mean,

it... It does make a little bit of sense. Isn't Rich Paul like the most

elite agent in the game? I mean, he's whatever.

Mr. Paul has reportedly made a total of more than $1.4 billion for his clients.

Wait, did I read that right? Okay, thank you, Miss Wikipedia. We get it. I'm just

saying, after you chose someone who's going to end up in a medium security

prison as your business partner, it tracks that Zeke would go somewhere

extremely reputable like Clutch.

Andre, I am very sorry, but I kind of agree. And it's not personal.

It's business.

There's no point in trying to compete with someone at that level.

Maybe you're right.

Hello? Is this thing on? Did I not just say the same thing? Points have

definitely been made. Maybe instead of trying to beat him, I should join him.

Okay, so Aaron reached out to talk.

That can't be good, right?

Oh, God, he has cancer, doesn't he?

He's going to be okay. He's going to be okay. I've actually read that testicular

prosthesis is amazing these days.

Yeah. They can take his baby beans. They can't take his spirit.

Hey. Hey, there she is. You went to the Grove, didn't you? You know me so well.

So, what's up?

How are you? How's your health and wellness?

I'm good. I'm great, actually. I just wanted to wait to tell you in person.

I finally got promoted to full-time professor.

Aaron, what?

Yeah, yeah.

That's what I'm talking about.

Like... It's about time! Yeah. Actually, I have to say, it's past time.

And... I'm so happy for you.

You deserve your flowers.

Thank you.

So, how is everything else?

Uh... How's, uh... Doug?

Doug? Well, you know, speaking of Doug and other people in our lives, Edie and

I broke up. Oh, no!

Yeah. I am...

Sorry to hear that. It's all good. There's, you know... And the Academy

Award goes, too.

Yeah, it just didn't feel right, so I, uh... I ended it.

He ended it? Hmm.

I wonder where he's going with this.

So, how about a young woman such as yourself? How are things in your world?

How are the, uh, gentlemen callers?

Mmm, they've been calling.

Hmm. I haven't been answering.

Oh. I don't know. Since the show did so well, I really haven't had time to date.

I've just been focused on rebuilding Anti-Muse. I know that's right.

Andre had actually mentioned you might be pulling a LL coming back to Cali.

Just if my opinion matters, there's no better place to rebuild things.

Businesses, relationships.

Yeah, Aaron. I think we should go get a coffee.

Soon. Like, I don't know.

Maybe a chilled red in a setting that's like dimmed, like the lights. Not like

so dark where we can't see each other, but like dark enough. I decided I'm not

moving back.

What?

So after Zeke dropped me like a short girl from the volleyball team, I told

him I didn't need any more fruit baskets. What I wanted was a meeting

with Rich Paul.

I asked for a sit down, but all Zeke could get me was a walk with.

Mr. Paul. Mr. Paul.

Oh, my God, thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me. I am in awe of

your career trajectory from when you were selling jerseys out of the trunk of

your car.

Yo, I got two and a half minutes.

Yeah, right, two minutes. Okay, the Cliff Notes version, you are the GOAT,

and I would love to join in your greatness, which is why I came to you

today to talk about folding my company into Clutch.

Your company?

Do you even have a learner's permit? Trust me, I have a lot more experience

than you think.

Okay, young gun.

Pitch me.

Like, now. Oh, okay.

So, before you poached my client Zeke... Not off to a great start.

Okay, you're right.

So, before Zeke made a very justified and well-informed decision to sign with

Clutch, I had just got him a huge brand to deal with dude odorant. I also

negotiated an unprecedented salary for Anika Longstreet on Social Submarine,

and my client Zahra Ali just booked her first big national ad campaign.

I know that I am new at this, but I am also very good at this.

I will be the junior associate, pun intended, who busts my ass.

Mr. Paul, I'm asking you to take a leap of faith with me.

Sir, sir, I am so sorry.

I couldn't get the 990 V3 New Balance fresh goods that you wanted. There is

only one guy who has access to that shoe, and apparently he doesn't mess

with you because you swooped in on his hoe in the seventh grade.

Those were his words, not mine.

I'll let myself go.

Thank you for the opportunity.

Look, you're not ready to be a rep at Clutch yet, but now there's an opening

if you want to come be my assistant.

Oh, an assistant, huh?

Yeah, um, assistant, I'm not really trying to do that, but... Thank you for

your time.

I feel like I've put everything into building my business. Blood, sweat,

tears. That's just how dedicated I am to being a manager. Why can't he see that?

Huh? Why can't he see this face?

This face is not made to wear a headset around it. I don't know about that.

Okay. So, uh...

Let me get this straight.

You're just, you're owed your dream job straight out of college. You think you

can just skip steps like that? It's not that I don't want to work for it. It's

just, you know, I've been in the game for like two years now and I don't want

to go back to trial. Two years, such a long time. Look, man, I think I figured

out what the problem is. Your generation needs to learn how to eat more shit.

I've been eating it for years.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've learned to season it with salt, pepper

until it tastes good. That's how much shit I've had to eat. Okay, boomer.

Doug, help me out here. Help you with what? I'm with Grandpa Aaron. All I'm

saying is I just want to be out here making deals, not making some dudes

coffee. No, no, no. This isn't just some dude. This is the dude. And you'd be

able to get the opportunity to learn the ropes from the best in the game while

also getting health and dental insurance? And you said no. In this

economy?

Hypothetically, say that I put this all the way up, how do I fix it? Because I

feel like my bad is just...

It's not going to cut it at this point. You need to stand outside that man's

house with the boombox over your head. Okay, can we please not talk about big

romantic gestures right now? Uh-oh. Did Operation Get Zoe back fail?

Well, yeah, no, I was just drafting off of some faulty intel I was given to by

this guy, Andre. Yeah, Zoe's not moving back.

And I don't want to move on from us. I don't want to move on from her. I just,

I don't know what to do.

Who do you think I should wear for my date with Andre tonight?

Do you think a dress is, like, too much?

What's the vibe you're going for?

Um, like, freak in the street, girlfriend material in the street.

Oh, it's like that?

Yeah. Um, do you have, like... Wait.

Oh, yeah. I got into the Portugal program.

That's amazing.

Oh, I can't wait to eat too much codfish, drink too much port wine, and,

like, find myself or whatever.

Aw, congrats. Yay.

What, do I have B.O.? No, no, I just, um, I haven't gotten any new emails

today. I'm sure the Aritzia newsletter will hit your inbox any second now.

Okay. Surprise!

I actually signed up for the Portugal program, too.

What? You were very convincing, and your closing argument was very compelling.

Okay, well, refresh again.

Okay.

Yeah, I, um, think this means I didn't get in.

Well, listen.

Either you get to spend a few of the most... incredible months in an

exciting, exotic location with the best person ever.

Or you get to stay here and explore things with Andre.

Kind of a win either way.

Okay, you made the first option seem way more appealing, but do you really

support the whole me and Andre thing?

I ship to it.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay, look. Maybe it's a good thing that Zoe's not coming back.

Good thing? Yeah. That's what you think. It's a good thing. I'm devastated. I've

been stressed eating ice cream sandos.

And I don't want to do the whole long distance dance again.

Look, you guys have been back and forth for years. You're more on and off than a

light switch. Let me tell you what's going to happen. You're going to get

back together.

There's going to be a few months of insufferable PDA.

Then one of you guys is going to mess up.

Probably you.

And then you're going to break up.

I love you. And I love Zoe. I just... Maybe this thing is running scores.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be more than a college...

No, no, no. Dad, I've been hearing this dude yap about some Zoe for years.

Okay, but what if I'm the only one feeling this way?

Because I don't know where her head's at.

I might have heard from a little birdie named Anna that she has been talking her

ear off about you.

Really?

Yeah. That's your girl.

You go get her.

What's up, dog?

Yo, Doug.

This place is amazing.

I'm so proud of you. You know, I always say, there's no one I'd rather spend a

free night with. Andre bailed on you and Aaron still grading papers.

You got me.

It's okay. But I'm being serious. I really do love spending time with one of

my nearest and dearest. Seeing what you've done with this fine

establishment, it's like unrecognizable.

And sipping on complimentary cocktails.

You just told me I was your backup plan. That'll be $16.

I'll put that back.

Inflation is high.

Oh.

Um, sorry.

Ooh. Okay, uh, Aaron just said that he locked himself in his classroom and he

needs me to come get him out. I don't... Not again.

Tailors all this time.

Okay,

thank you.

Good to see you. Later. Bye.

Excuse me. You can't just go in there. Can I help you with something?

Well, I actually have a reservation.

I'm just going to say a quick hello to a friend.

Are you stalking me now?

Some might say stalk. Others might say a planned run-in. Tomato, tomato. I just

really, really wanted to apologize for so rudely turning down the assistant

position earlier.

And I knew that a simple I'm sorry wasn't going to cut it.

Those are size 15?

No, they're for Mr. Paul, so they're aside. That's enough.

How'd you get those?

Well, see, I found myself on Shoe Connect Guy's Instagram and found that

he had a son who loved Pokemon.

And I noticed that his collection was lacking in a way that mine was not.

I don't know if I'm impressed or scared that you tracked a child down. I just

wanted to show you that I was willing to do what it takes.

I'm ready to eat shit, just gobble on it, a little bit of salt and pepper

maybe, throw in some hot sauce, you know?

But I'm also willing to shutter the business that I've spent my entire

college career building so I can work for you.

If the position is still open.

All right, Andre, you start next week as my second assistant.

Okay, second, yeah, no.

Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate the opportunity.

And excuse me for interrupting this very important client dinner.

Big fan, by the way. This is my accountant, Niles.

It's great to meet you, Niles.

If you'll excuse me, I will be dining over there if you need anything.

So, holler. Hey, it's on me.

Welcome to Clutch.

Thank you, sir.

Throw your meal.

Excuse me.

Yeah, we'd like to order.

Okay. Yeah, no, she's gone. Oh, my God. Are we invisible?

I know. What is up with that? And how could they miss you in this dress?

But I want you to know, I still care about your thoughts and opinions.

Oh.

I can't believe we're finally doing this. Who would have thought from where

we started? It's wild. After all this buildup, I feel like we just keep

getting cut off.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

Good news.

Yeah, so I applied for the Portugal program with Zara, and I got in.

Like the program that happens in a couple of days and is thousands of miles

away? Yeah.

Yeah, that one. I didn't want to say anything in case I didn't get in.

But I feel like I finally know what my path is going to be. I want to pursue

law school, and that's going to be a long and hard road.

Law school is famously difficult.

Right? I figured that the summer was going to be my last chance to have some

fun for a while.

The next couple years, my life is going to be very structured, so I just, I want

to get out and have an adventure.

Yeah, no, you should, you should explore.

Yeah, new places, new experiences, new foods, new Portuguese men's bodies.

What? Andre? No, you should go explore.

Sounds like a great opportunity.

Okay. Hey, Aaron, you in here?

Where are you? Are you okay?

Oh, Jesus!

Sorry, sorry.

I, uh, I wanted to get real candles, but there's a strict no open flame policy on

campus, so this is what I got.

Uh, do you mind taking a seat, please?

Is this a one-person intervention?

They're usually just a little more effective in a group, and trust me, I

already know.

I'm hitting the Diet Coke hard lately.

Yeah, well, just go right on up there to your left.

Your other left.

Yeah, that one right there. Just pop a squat.

Yeah.

All settled.

Okay, ready?

Boom. Uh, Aaron, what are you doing?

Uh-oh, shh, shh, shh. No talking, cup bitch.

I just wanted to start this lesson by taking us back to your freshman year and

this classroom in that seat.

So you were a hot stranger whom I was both intrigued and turned on by.

And it didn't take long for me to fall for you.

Our love story hasn't been perfect. No one's is.

But that's when I realized I'd rather go through life's ups and downs with you

than to have it easy with anyone else.

And the truth of it is, freshmen, you are a lot of things.

Easy is not one of them.

You were smart.

You're complicated, you're irritating, you're beautiful. Sorry, I know you

prefer hot as hell.

You're funny, you're annoyingly slow when walking.

But after all that, you're still my favorite person.

And I'm even more in love with you now.

Aaron, what are you doing?

Okay, what are you doing?

Listen, this past year has been great for me, right? I've gotten everything

that I've ever wanted.

But it still doesn't feel right. And that's because the only thing I want

more than anything is you.

I'll follow you anywhere.

All right, I'll follow you to New York. I'll follow you if you want to stay

here. I just know that I want to be with you forever.

So, yeah, here it goes.

Sorry.

Will you marry me, Zoe Johnson?

I can't.

I'm really sorry. I can't do this.

You can't do what? I'm sorry.

Zoe, are you worried? I'm sorry.

Hey, I didn't expect you back so early.

Did y'all find a bathroom on the way back?

Well, we didn't hook up, but I did get screwed.

He made you go Dutch?

No, but he made me go to Portugal.

Wait, you got in? So that means you're coming with me?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, packing up at the end of the year has brought us some treasures. I found

three left AirPods and... Andre's night retainer.

Wait, that's worth like $1,200, right?

Yeah.
