An email from me?

To what do I owe the pleasure?

What's up, future me?

It's me, past you, reporting from the first day of school where things are

going swimmingly because of my ace leadership.

I timed this email for you to receive on the last day of school so that we can

congratulate ourselves on all the goals we accomplished.

All right, let's go.

Congratulations on reading 400 books in one school year.

Damn, I wouldn't lie to me, so.

Continue. And by now, you must be fluent in Mandarin. So allow me to be the first

to say, And that to you as well.

Hey, how's the art class liking that new pottery wheel you got them?

Oh, that's who that was for.

Be proud.

Your teachers came to you all year for guidance, and you gave it to them.

Ava, can you help me figure it out yourself?

Wow, you're right.

I can't figure this out.

Thanks, Ava. You're welcome.

So give us a pat on the back.

Still got it.

Look, Alex.

This is a plant.

from the goofball garden that Mr. Eddie gave me. See how much it's grown?

It doesn't grow that much.

Well, wait till you see it next year when you come to school every day.

We'll see.

No, we will see you at school every day next year.

This might shock you, but I actually love the last day of school.

It's such a nice goodbye because you know you'll say hi again next year. It's

a pleasant wind down.

And I love Move Up Day, where the kindergartners graduate to first grade.

It is so cute.

It's also a great time to reflect.

I wasn't here most of the year, but I'm proud of myself for following my heart

back to Abbott. And to celebrate, I am throwing the party of all parties at my

place.

Everybody's invited, except for the students and most of the teachers.

Welcome, everyone, to Move Up Day.

And once again, reminding you to hold all applause until the end of the

ceremony.

Jeremiah Banks!

You're technically meeting your students for next year right now.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Right? I can't believe the school year's on. I know.

What are your plans for the summer?

Oh, I'm actually really excited about that. So I'm going to take the goofball

grant money, and then I'm going to eat.

Yeah, so for your party tonight, I'm sure you don't want to do it at

Barbara's since she offered, and since it's a house.

And has room?

Plural? While that offer has the power to give me a joy stroke?

Don't say that. Why not? It doesn't mean what you think it does. No, it doesn't.

Really? Okay. Well, my place will do just fine.

You live in a refurbished entryway.

What are we guys talking about?

Grab your sweater and t-shirt?

Make up your mind. Is it a sweater or is it a t-shirt?

Oh, hey, man.

I'm trying to convince Janine to have her party in a more spacious space.

Some of us have had a rough year.

Preach. And broke up with their partner and best friend who will no longer speak

to them. Preach. And find themselves... Guys, I hear you, and I can assure you

all that I've gotten all 350 square feet... 350 square what? I'll just throw

the damn party in my mouth's glass. 350 square feet of my big enough apartment

into party mode.

All right, I'll bring some limoncello. No, I've got it covered. Just bring your

wonderful self. Maybe just some wine. Hey, Mel, just don't, all right? But not

least, Jamal Wilkins.

They said you couldn't do it. No, they didn't. No one said that.

But look at you now.

Congratulations to the class of 2024.

You're all moving on up.

See you all today.

Showtime.

Thank you very much, Janine. And wow, your neighborhood is quite the work in

progress. You need anything? A knife, a taser, steel baguette? No, guys, I feel

safe. I have ADT and wonderful neighbors who love watching over me or watching

me. And a cardboard cutout of Allen Iverson, so people think he lives here.

No judgment or anything, kid, but your place seems a little disheveled.

Yeah, I know.

I've just been so busy.

I wish I had more time to make it presentable. Don't you worry,

sweetheart. We're going to get this place together.

Oh. And don't you dare try to help because you'll just slow us down. Oh, my

goodness. Thank you so much. I mean, I've been such a wreck.

Lucky for you, we got here early.

Luck? I don't know her. I knew that Mel and Barb would show up at 7. In fact, I

planned for it.

As I have planned this entire party to the T so that every individual coming

will have the time of their lives.

I knew they would have no choice but to help the life of poor little Janine.

It doesn't stop there. While they have activity, the antisocials will have a

section. The gamers will have a section. The dancers will have a section.

I even have a movie room where I'll be showing where the Millers. And that's

not your first choice, is it? Yeah, try it.

Thank me later. I have all the necessary drinks and fun enhancers and more. I

have so perfectly planned for everything that in three seconds, watch this.

Three, two, one.

Janine, do you have any sponges? This kitchen is a mess.

Are these your only spices? Salt, pepper, Lowry's, and Deheene? And why

are they in separate cabinets?

Perfection. Hold on, please.

Hi.

What's up, guys?

Get out of my way. I got a party to save.

Ava, you're an hour late.

Right on time.

I thought you said it starts at 8. It does.

The strobe light effect is amazing.

Yes, intentional strobe, not broken light that's too high to reach exactly.

Okay, I know you said not to bring anything, but this raspberry stout was

aged in bourbon barrels, and girl, let me tell you, this is like rude yet

generous. I like it.

Yes, right this way, gentlemen.

You'll be stationed over here in the social section.

Hey, Gregory.

Hey, you look nice. Thank you. I'm glad you came.

You're welcome.

I parked my G-Wagon in the red.

So if I get a ticket, we split.

Okay, yeah, sure, of course. Mr. Johnson, for you, I have the domino

section. Oh, this is a party party. Yes, and for you, Gregory Eddie, I thought

you might enjoy the socially awkward but trying section.

I love the layout. This is prime. Right?

She's not in the minors because she's the big T.

Gregory Eddie, what's up?

Hey, guys.

Manny? Oh, yeah, no, he's great. I'm happy that Janine is still cool with her

district people.

What's up?

Welcome. Oh, my God. Oh, I'm so sorry. I knew I was unworthy of this party. I'll

leave. Yeah, just go. No, guys, Emily, it's fine, really. I mean, Hakuna

Matata. Prop face.

Yeah, it's not a party until something breaks.

Speak up.

I'm out.

I got to get home and get ready. This is my pre-party before the party. Y'all got

Spotify. Ava, you're leaving already? I paid you. Not my full rate. No one's

going to pay you a million dollars, Ava. It only takes one, and you're not it, so

I'm not saying.

You know what? You're right.

But before you head out, can you say a quick hi to my little cousin Kwame?

Janine and I were like best friends growing up.

That's wild, because we're like sisters.

Where's Mr. Johnson?

You got somebody for Ava, but not for me.

Like four dudes a year. And half of them are gay. Erica, let me introduce you to

my emotionally unavailable, fiscally irresponsible, racially ambiguous, well

-chained friend Simon.

He owns a condo he can't afford.

What's up, girl?

You all right there.

Young, ethnic Adam Sandler.

I'll be right back. Okay, update me real quick.

Gregory here.

What are you doing with that?

Nothing, okay? He's my co-worker.

It could affect our jobs. There are rules.

So I'm just going to move on, I guess.

Okay, girl.

Come on.

Let's go play find and save.

Okay. Have you read that before?

Baby girl, I invented that game.

So many books and not one of them the good book.

The joy of reheating takeout. Janine, I taught you better than this.

And...

I'd say that's the beginning of her it-girl phase, too. Oh, you know a lot

about Kristen Stewart.

Well, I'm gay.

Oh.

It's Morton. Please help. The bouncer won't let me in.

I'll be right back.

What is going on?

He's not letting me in. Says my name's not on the list.

Okay, Mr. Johnson, we don't need a bouncer. Could you please go back to

your dominoes? The party won't work if everyone's not in their section.

And Mr. Morton, how about the puzzler's corner?

Great. My wife said to go where I'm wanted.

What do you think she meant by that? Why is Zach here giving his signature hand

massages?

Now that's a knot.

Oh, I thought that was a knuckle.

Zach is here because he's my friend, too, which, if I remember correctly, you

wanted. Must I reap what I always fruitfully sow?

I know it bothers you not to be on speaking terms with Zach. Why not change

that tonight?

Fine.

Another factor that makes a perfect party.

Everyone gets along.

Relationships can get messy, but they don't have to stay that way. You just

have to figure out where people can fit in your life again and then build up

from there.

Kind of like Jenga.

Wait, why is no one in the Jenga section?

Okay, let's get you back to Jenga and you.

Janine, we got olive oil at the door.

Mr. Johnson, I told you we... Olivia.

Hey. Hi.

I gave your bouncer a 20, but he said that I had to wait for a couple ladies

to leave before I could go in.

Yeah, no, I remember you. Yeah, you work with Avi, right? Yes. Yes, Mr. Johnson,

could you give her back her 20?

Okay, I'll get it for you later. You want to just come in? I hope it's okay

that I'm here. Avi invited me, but then my phone died. I couldn't text him. Oh,

of course.

Welcome to the party.

Now, which section do you belong in?

What the hell?

It's not time for white box yet.

Hey, Emily, what are you doing? It's DJ District now.

And school is in session.

No, no, no. I paid Ava.

Hey, why are you here? The make-out section's in the corner. The make-out

section is wherever me and your cousin end up in assembly.

Make that five.

You know what?

The movie's not supposed to be compelling, okay? Change it back.

But name one. Angela.

a charger. I have an entire charging section.

Why are you doing the worm?

I know the dance section is great, but remember your section, people. Structure

is fun. Morton, get your ass back to the puzzles.

But they're watching Wakanda forever.

Don't worry about it.

No, no, it's okay. It's fine.

I can create a space for you.

Careful, because sockets are the number one source of home electrocution.

I promise you it's totally fine, okay?

I'm just, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm playing.

I'm going to be totally okay.

Ooh, perfect.

Okay, slight hiccup, but don't leave. Just go outside, get some fresh air. The

lights will be on soon.

Guess I created a butterfly effect when I left the domino section.

I'll fix it. Yeah, okay, I'll go find a flashlight.

I need my shoes.

Don't worry.

Where is it?

Whoa, it's just me.

Did the power go out, or did this turn into a very different kind of party?

What are you doing down there? I'm looking for a flashlight. I blew a fuse,

or every fuse, okay? See, this is why people need to stay in their sections.

Well, it's probably just an electrical issue. I did see three blenders plugged

in. Yeah, and then I tried charging the phone.

Olivia's, actually.

Yeah, it's really great that she came.

You know what? Just... Battery powered.

Are you good?

It was just going so well.

Even with a blackout, it's still a hell of a party.

And sections and protocols are cool, but parties can be fun without rules, too.

This is the perfect way to kick off the summer.

You gonna throw some more of these?

Maybe, yeah.

Oh, speaking of this summer, you were telling me something at the move-up day

about this summer? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm doing a summer program for the

goofballs. It's nothing huge, just a few days a week to maintain the garden that

we planted in the spring.

It's the first big project I'm going to use the grant money for.

Wow. I'm very excited. No, I can tell.

I just can't help but think about when you first got to Abbott, and you were

all business.

And look at you now.

You are teaching in the summer in a garden that you created with a club that

you started.

I just, um, I really admire you.

Me? I mean, look at everything you did this year.

The Janina I met the first day would have never left Abbott to try something

new. And she definitely wouldn't let all these people in her place with their

shoes on.

Because you try new things and you're brave.

You care about people.

That's what I admire about you.

It's a miracle.

And I am God.

What's this now?

Mr.

Johnson, you fixed it. How?

Some of them don't.

I'll show you.

Time for the teacher to become the janitor.

Come on.

Wow.

I always thought that was a little room for mice or the borrowers.

Okay, so do I just not plug as much stuff in? No, plug in what you want.

Another fuse blows, I'll just fix it again.

Mr. Johnson, how do you do it?

You just flip the fuel switch.

No, no, I mean, how do you just live your life doing whatever you want?

Aren't you afraid things will go wrong? Things will go wrong whether you're

doing what you want or not.

For me, regrets have always been harder to live with than consequences.

Yeah, but what if the consequences are really bad?

You kill someone?

What? I won't rap. No, no, no, no, no.

I just mean, like...

What if you could lose your job? Who cares?

Really? Jobs come and jobs go.

I've quit, been fired, been replaced on the panel by Paul Abdul right before the

show blew up.

But I don't regret leaving them behind to live my life to the fullest.

But I love this job.

It'll be all right.

Trust me.

marriage, Martin.

Oh, shiver me timbers, tiny buckle.

Time to abandon ship.

Congrats,

kid. Your party made C. Barbara go full pirate.

Didn't know you had it in you. Okay, yo, ho, ho, leave the room.

Oh, how'd I get there? Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

Oh, hey, guys.

You know, you can stay.

It's no last call at Club Janine.

Oh, no, no, no. I got to keep moving or else I'll black out. Oh, no.

What about Simon?

We broke up.

You guys were so good together.

Forget him. Yeah, you deserve it.

Oh, um, Gregory, you...

Yeah,

if Gregory would have stayed, I would have told him how I felt, which is that

I like him and I want to be with him.

It feels good to say out loud.

I want to be with him.

But he left.

Okay. How about I get the cheeseburger? Okay. And then if you get it... Oh,

well, where are you going?

She clearly wanted you to stay. I don't know what you're so worried about. If

it's HR or the rules or that text message, but maybe you should be a

little more worried about that. That's nothing to do with that, okay? I don't

even care about the rules at this point, but Manny is inside.

Isn't that him literally leaving?

Okay, that's weird, but I'm pretty sure that they're dating. I'm pretty sure

they're not.

He asked, but the thing about dates, Gregory, is that the other person has to

say yes.

Janine shut that down.

Told Mr. Manny that she liked somebody else.

You know what?

No. I am done waiting.

I bet I can still catch him.

I fixed your light.

43.

44, 45, 46, 47.

That was incredible.

48 second headstand.

That is so long.

You do it there.

None of us are doing that.

I guess that makes me headstand champion.

Hold my hoagie. Excuse me.

Don't encourage her.

So far.

You missed a spot.

Delicious.
