‐ So I just saw Mia,

and for someone who found out that their boyfriend was gay,

she looked very happy.

‐ Shh! I didn't tell her.

‐ Twist!

‐ I tried to, but her dad and Veronica came home, and we found out...

Veronica's pregnant.

‐ Double twist.

‐ And they're getting married.

‐ Tri‐‐ ‐ Don't say triple twist.

I just want to give Mia an amazing night at the dance,

and then I'll tell her the truth tomorrow.

So, did you ask Lake to the dance?

‐ Yeah. I did.

She passed. Hard.

So I ended things.

But you know, if she liked it, she should have put a boutonnière on it.

‐ Hi. ‐ Hey.

‐ Hey. ‐ What's up?

‐ Hey, guys. Um, Felix...

Come on, Wendy, you can do this. Um...

Do you want to go to the dance with me tonight?

‐ Wow.

Yeah, no, I'd love to.

‐ Really? Amazing. You won't regret it.

Oh, uh, but if you do, please don't tell me.

FELIX: Wow.

Can't believe someone wants to be seen publicly with me at a dance.

‐ Uh, well, just so you know,

I actually have a date tonight, too, so...

[bell rings]

See you tonight. ‐ See you tonight.

‐ See you tonight.

‐ Bye.

VICTOR: Dear Simon, tonight.

I just have to make it through tonight.

MIA: Lake, I know you don't have a date for the dance tonight,

and you obviously like Felix.

Look, why don't you just apologize for how you've been acting?

‐ No.

What we had was fun, but we're from different worlds.

No, Felix should be dating Wendell.

‐ You know her name is Wendy.

‐ And I should find myself a nice, broad‐shouldered future iBanker,

just like God intended.

‐ Well, if it isn't the future Spring Fling queen herself.

‐ Kieran, do you have a date to the dance tonight?

‐ No way. We're all flying solo. Just me and my boys.

We're gonna make fun of all the lame‐ass couples.

‐ You and I are going to the dance together.

‐ Oh, okay. ‐ What?

LAKE: Great.

I'll text you my addy. See you at 6:00. KIERAN: Cool.

‐ Bro.

‐ What? I have a thing for bossy women.

My therapist thinks it's 'cause my mom's a judge.

VERONICA: What do you think? This or this?

HAROLD: I'm not feelin' it. ‐ Okay.

‐ Oh, look, there she is! [both laughing]

How was school today, huh?

Everybody excited about the big dance?

‐ Not as excited as you seem to be.

‐ Oh, come on, baby. It's your first high school formal.

Now, do you need me to, uh, show you some of these moves?

You know I got 'em. ‐ I'm good.

I'm good. Yeah. ‐ You sure?

‐ Can I actually borrow Mia for a minute of girl time?

HAROLD: Oh, yeah. Of course, of course.

VERONICA: Okay. HAROLD: You know where to find me, all right?

[laughing]

‐ So, I...

brought over some of my jewelry for you.

Just in case. I...

I thought you could pick some earrings, maybe, to go with your dress?

MIA: Oh.

You don't have to do this.

‐ Well, I never get to wear this stuff. It's my‐‐ ‐ No, no, no.

Not the jewelry.

This. Us.

Look, Veronica, I want you and my dad to be happy. I really do.

And I'll wrap my head around the marriage,

and the baby, and the whole happily‐ever‐after thing

you guys have going.

But I don't want to laugh with you about the school dance.

I don't want to borrow your earrings.

We don't...

We just... We don't have that kind of relationship.

‐ We don't have it yet, but I am hoping‐‐

‐ I have to go get ready for the dance, so...

‐ Okay.

[birds chirping] [distant dog barking]

VICTOR: Hey, um, which of these do you think Mia will like better?

‐ I'd go with option "B."

‐ Uh, thanks.

Pretty crazy about Dad punching his boss, huh?

‐ Yep. Not surprised he kept it from us, though.

This family's full of liars.

BENJI: Wait, wait, wait. ‐ It wasn't his fault.

I kissed him. And then he stopped it.

He stopped it, and then he switched coffee shops to get away from me,

That's how much he cares about you, Derek.

So please don't blame Benji for my stupid mistake.

He's too good a guy to walk away from.

He's thoughtful and sweet,
