DRE: I love that Junior and I
are working together...

Hey, come on, son. Let's go.

...because our relationship
hasn't always been great.

♪

First up is the throat chop.

- Bah!
- [Chokes]

If that fails, always go for the groin.

- That's like the balls of the balls.
- [Grunts]

But now I'm looking out for him
in new ways.

I ordered wrong.

Yes, you did.

Don't worry. I got you.

Hey!

Ooh! Beets!

Notice how you hear
Dennis Haysbert's voice

before you see him.

Studies have proven

that hearing a person
before you see them

builds trust.

Man.

- Haysbert is the GOAT!
- Mm-hmm.

[Chuckles]

We've been through some rough waters,

but I finally feel like
we turned a corner.

Oh, hey. Hey, hey.

Pop that collar.

All right.

Dre and Junior.

Getting along.

- Mm-hmm.
- [Laughs]

It's not gonna last.

Yep. They're doomed.

That morning, Junior and I
hit up a prospective client

with the old Johnson shake and bake.

We were so in sync,

it was as natural
as Colin Kaepernick's afro.

Mm-hmm.

We really like this direction.

I can't wait to hear the full pitch.

Mm.

I know from the social media side,

we're all really excited.

Hey, well, you know what?
That was all Junior.

- [Chuckles]
- He brought it home. [Pats back]

Well, I couldn't have brought it home

if you hadn't already built the house.

Okay. You know what, son?

Why don't you give them
some more details

as you walk them out?

- You got it, big guy.
- All right.

- Nice meeting you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Thank you, guys. Thanks for coming.
- Pleasure.

Ah.

Wasn't Junior great?
We were a well-oiled machine!

Uh, yeah, Junior was good.
He was good. But, um...

But what?

Well, you've been helping him
a lot, Dre.

We've all noticed
that you've been daddy-ing him.

What? Daddy-ing?

The boy is latched
to your work teat, Dre.

No, he's not.

The boy is standing on his own.

I'm just supporting a colleague.

It is a slap in the face for
all those people, like my son,

who worked their asses off to get here.

Where is Connor?

Uh, there was a cricket
outside of his apartment door,

- so I gave him the day off.
- Mm.

Anywho, look, you know how I love it

when we all attack Dre, like the time

that he accidentally told us
that his wife out-earns him.

[Both laugh]

But, yes, you know,
I got to give it to you, Dre.

It was a great pitch.

So, let's give it an hour,

and we'll follow up with the client.

Okay, you know, I think Junior
should be the one to do that.

Of course you do.

Your teat is exposed, Dre.

Okay, you know what?

If you want him to follow up,
that's fine,

but try not to be so flagrant
with your daddy-ing, okay?

'Cause it's, um... it's unbecoming.

- [Cellphone chimes]
- Oh, brother.

Now there are two crickets
outside his door.

I got to save my little pumpkin.

Uh-huh.

A Bulbasaur?

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know
how that got in there.

Damn it, Jack.
This is the Pomona tourney.

There's no messing around.

All the big hitters are gonna be there.

Do I look scared?

Jackachu pulled three new cards

that are gonna put us over the top.

[Sighs]

Jack?

A word?

[Sighs] Here.

Really?

What? Me and Mason play Pokémon
all the time.

It's not a big deal.

Do you remember what happened
to Elise Sanders?

She got caught with a doll in her locker

and went from the queen of the school

to a lonely person
that uses Drake lyrics

in all of her Instagram captions.

I think she was just sad
because her grandma died.

The only thing that died
was her relevance.

It's eighth grade, friend.

The stakes are too high.

Choose wisely.

[Sighs]

Hey, Diane.

Do you play Pokémon?

I don't play anything.

Once we win Pomona, she'll respect me.

He...

Oh...

Mm.

Eh...

Pops, do you need something?

It's okay. You're working.
I-I don't want to bother you.

Listen, I found Lynette's robe,

and I don't know what to do with it.

I thought I could give it
to a homeless person

near where she lives.

That way, she'd see it every day.

I don't know. What do you think?

Well, uh...

I think this is a great opportunity

for you to find closure.

I mean, you could send the robe
back with a note,

let her know that despite
everything that happened,

you're the bigger person.

- Huh.
- Mm-hmm.

- I didn't think of that.
- Mm.

That way, I won't have to
explain to my next lady

why the robe has an "L" on the front.

There you go.

- I knew I could trust you, Rainbow.
- Ohh!

You're the only sensible one
'round here.

[Chuckles] Thank you.

I think I'm the only sensible
one around here, too.

The next morning,
it was still bothering me.

Was I really daddy-ing my son?

Hey, babe, it's not my fault

that Junior is thriving
under my superior tutelage.

[Chuckles] I never favored him.

Yeah.

If anything, you have
an unfortunate history

of tearing him down.

- Exactly.
- Yes.

Okay? I am just his mentor, all right?

A guide as he climbs the ad ladder.

- Babe, he is a natural at this.
- Okay.

- Oh. Hey.
- Hey, sweetheart.

Son, you ready to go?

Actually, I'm gonna catch my own ride.

I set up a meeting with Marie
at the coffee shop

next to the office
to discuss a last-minute idea

to enhance the pitch for the CEO.

Oh. All right. Do your thing, then, son.

I'll see you at work.

- You see that, Bow?
- Yeah, I see it.

A natural.

Together, with our powers combined,

we... we could go on
to great things, babe.

Forget Stevens & Lido.

- Oh.
- Anything is possible.

[Ragtime music plays]

♪

We're gonna sell so many kinds of meat.

That's how all your fantasies end.

With Bow's advice in my head,

I confidently brought Junior
the tablet he had forgotten...

and a jacket because the
forecast was a little chilly.

But when I arrived,

Junior was already doing his thing.

A thing I wish I had not seen.

♪

I had to confront Junior,
but since we were at work,

I needed to tread lightly.

Junior, what is going on
with you and Marie?

Oh. She really liked my idea.

Yeah, I know she liked it so much

that you were making out
with her this morning.

- Oooh!
- Oooh!

What the hell were you thinking,

kissing your client in public?

What?! You made out with Marie?

- My man!
- [Chuckles]

What? You guys...
You guys are cool with this?

I'm the one who told him to take
Marie to my favorite date spot.

I like any place
where you can pay in pennies.

You are just now starting your career,

and this is the type of thing
that can give you a reputation.

- A reputation of gettin' that ass.
- Get that ass!

Come on, Dad.

If this happened to Josh or Charlie,

you wouldn't have a problem with it.

Okay, first of all, this would
have never happened to Josh.

Son, you have to learn
how to keep your relationships

between you and your client
professional.

What your father's trying to say is...

wrap that thing up.

I don't see any rule
against dating clients.

Oh, thank God.

Otherwise, if there were,

this place would've been
shut down a long time ago.

Son, the hell with a rulebook.
It's stupid.

I'm telling you
to break it off with her.

- Why?
- Stop talking back!

I'm your father, and I say so.

Hold up. I'm old enough
to make my own choices.

And we're fine. We're going
to a Young Thug concert.

We're cool!

You're taking her to see
the King of Slime?

Yup. And Ray J's gonna be
handing out hot dogs there.

- But, son...
- But nothing!

Just let me do my own thing.

Try being my boss and not my dad.

What about all our plans?

All that meat... gone to waste.

This is why I'm glad I never had a son.

Eustace!

Oh, man, Jack, the team's
just not the same without you.

You know, you should come to a game.

Yeah.

Uh... cool.

Maybe.

Jackachu! We won!

Not now, Mason.

But half of these
pocket monsters are yours.

No. No!

Charizard! No!

Yeah, are you some kind of baby?

Hey, I bet his favorite movie's
"Detective Pikachu."

We saw that opening night together.

Uh, yeah, right.

I was smoking cigarettes that night.

[Scoffs]

Congratulations, Jack.

You've run your first friendship
through the garbage disposal.

Proud of you.

Ah.

Dre! That Townsend project
is way over budget!

They are gonna have your ass!

[Sighs]

Sorry for the theatrics.

I-I just can't let the office know

that I'm... I'm here for some real talk.

Now, look... I saw what happened, okay?

You have to let Junior
learn from his own mistakes.

What?

It's gonna be hard at first,
but it'll be worth it.

Otherwise, your son's gonna
turn out like Connor, okay?

I babied him for so long.

He's practically a house cat.

When I paid his college tuition,

he thanked me by presenting me
with a dead bird.

Okay.

Junior and Connor are not the same.

It's not the actions of the son
you need to worry about.

It's... It's those of the father.

Who knows how Connor would've turned out

if I had let him take his own SATs,

his own entrance exams or drug tests.

You're right.

It wouldn't hurt for me to back off.

And if Junior falls, he needs
to pick himself back up.

Thank you.

Hey, you know...

on your own, you're kind of helpful.

- [Chuckles]
- [Cellphone chimes]

Oh.

Oh, gosh.

Connor's at a toll booth,
and he has no idea what to do.

Got to go down
to Orange County real quick.

Hang in there, puddin'.

- Hey, Rainbow.
- Hey.

I just wanted to thank you.

Ohhh!

Did you write the letter to Lynette?

Yep. Managed to say how I felt
and not use one profanity.

As long as she can't read
through my cross-outs.

- Hey, Pops!
- Yeah.

[Clicks tongue] Good for you!

I might write letters
to all the ladies I know.

- Okay. Okay. [Chuckles]
- [Chuckles]

- Uh, hey, Mom?
- Yeah?

Can I ask you something?

Only if you want great advice.

Okay.

Uh...

well...

the basketball team made fun of Mason,

- and I joined in.
- Ohh.

I threw my friend under the bus
so they would like me.

Does that make me a terrible person?

No!

You are not a terrible person.

Jack... you're in eighth grade now.

The stakes are high,
and you're gonna need friends.

But if you want my advice,
it's important that you...

Call Mason to apologize?

No.

Survive.

What?

Kids are ruthless in eighth grade.

It's not worth a slip-up, Jack.
It's dog-eat-dog.

I remember when I was your age.

I ate chili cheese fries,
and they did not sit well.

And then later that day
in science class...

All I'll say is that my friend
Michelle Stankowsky smelt it.

But it was I...

- No, Mom.
- Yes, Jack.

It was I who dealt it.

And I let her take the fall.

And you've regretted it
ever since, right?

No!

It was the best decision
of my life, Jack.

You got to stay one step ahead!

You got to look out
for number one, and that was me,

and I made it out alive.

I'm a doctor, and they still
call her "Stank."

[Gasps] This story
makes my stomach hurt.

Mine, too.

Wait.

I think I get what you're trying to do.

You're showing me the worst
possible way to handle this

so I can see what I did wrong
and make it right.

- Yep.
- Mm-hmm.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

- [Inhales deeply]
- Okay.

And you should apologize.

- Because it's the right thing to do.
- Mm.

Mason is my friend,
and I burned him for what?

A few minutes with the basketball team?

- [Inhales sharply]
- Ugh.

I've got to make things right
with the Marvelous Mr. Mason.

Yeah.

Oh, and what did Stank say
when you apologized?

Mm?

Uh... uh...

I got to...

...go send an e-mail.

Oh.

Yeah.

Stevens' advice shook me.

I decided that it couldn't hurt
to put up a boundary

to keep things professional with Junior.

Hey. You ready to knock this
out of the box, son?

I mean "Junior."

Yeah, no. Uh... sure.
I'm... I'm... I'm 100.

Hey. Come here for a second.

Are you okay?

- It's Marie.
- Ah.

She didn't want to go to
the Young Thug concert with me.

She doesn't want to hang out
at all anymore.

I don't think I can do this, Dad.

Oh. Well, it's too bad
nobody was there to warn you.

But we still need to close this account.

Dad, please...

So, now I'm your dad? Oh.

No, you wanted a boss,
and you got a boss,

and your boss says,
"Get in there and do your job."

Can't back out now.

Well, those are the numbers,

and if anything is ever a little off,

Charlie is skimming off the top.

[Laughter]

Why you snitchin', Dre?

Now to hear what we can do
for your social media.

Junior.

Junior.

Uh, yes.

Yeah. Uh...

[Remote beeps]

Social media.

Social media can be a great thing,

like when you post a picture
because you're excited

to go to a concert
with a special someone.

But it can also be a bad thing...

when you have to delete
that same picture

because that special someone
rejected you.

Social media is...

Uh, see, it's, uh, it's different.

Um... Facebook, hmm? Has all the faces.
