Dre: The worst part
of a horror movie

is that it starts
with everyone so happy.

I like it.

These poor suckers
have no idea what's coming.

[ Chainsaw buzzing ]

[ Whimpers ]
[ Screaming ]

What the hell?

Why am I the only one
screaming?!

Because it's not scary.

That chainsaw
can't cut through bone.
For real.

They've made three movies

about people getting murdered
at this camp.

If your parents
send you there,

they're trying to tell you
something.
Right.

No. It's the phones.

Give it to me.
What?

I'm tired of all you being on
your phones during movie night!

Give it to me.
Hey, I'm reading
about the coronavirus

being in
Los Angeles County now.

We're fine. The disease
is only on cruise ships.

And if you got
onto a cruise ship,

you knew you were
gonna get something.

Give me the phone.
No. Come on.

Give me the phone, boy!
Thank you.
[ Sighs ]

Jack: I'm not afraid
of the virus.

Yeah, Junior.
You worry too much.
Mm.

Remember you got all excited
about those murder hornets,

and they never
showed up?

They can kill you
through your pants!

Dad, come on.
I need my phone.

I want to know
what's going on.

No more phones until
all those white kids are dead!

[ Dramatic music plays ]

This could be
about the virus, Dad.

I should go check on it.
Sit down.

It's probably just one of those
alerts that you get

when somebody's
kidnapped.

You're fine.

[ Timidly ] Hello?

Man:
Hello, Andre Johnson.

Valley Glen Prep
has canceled classes

for the rest of the year.

[ Screaming ]

Dre: It was one thing not to be
able to go to restaurants.

It was another thing
for our kids

to now be home 24/7.
[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Groans ]
What?

Just got another e‐mail
from the school.
Ohh.

Oh, this is a disaster.

Losing the end
of the school year

is gonna be traumatic
for the twins, Dre.

They're not gonna be
able to see their friends,

they're gonna be stuck
in the house,

and they're not even gonna get
their eighth grade graduation!

Ah, I won't miss that.

Dre.
Oh, okay. Okay.

But they will.
Yes.

Yeah. It's so scary.

Mm.

We just have to make sure
we keep it

as normal as possible.

Yeah, I agree, but that's
gonna be really hard, Dre,

when we're
homeschooling them.

Well, it won't really be

homeschooling.
Hmm?

And we can make it
like a regular school day.

We just have to come up
with a schedule.

So, before,
they were in school

from 9:00 to 3:00.

Now they are
"distance learning"

from 9:00 to noon.

That's where the school
abandons us.

You know, we can take
that extra time

and supplement
their learning.

We can create hyperintensive
20‐minute blocks.

You know, we'll call it...

circuit learning.

Oh, oh, oh!

Can one of the circuits
be pottery?

Sure!
Ha ha!

Tuesdays, 1:35.
1:35?

It's a proprietary
schedule, Bow.
Hmm.

Kind of like when TBS would
start their shows on the fives.

[ Laughs ]
You know...

I think
once the word gets out,

all the other parents are gonna
want to send their kids to us.

By "us," you mean you.

What?

Oh, this is on you,
sweetheart.

I'm gonna be saving lives.

Hey!
Ah.

So I came up with the schedule,

and the kids were working
independently,

taking care of business.

Nine checks in one day,

and I didn't have to get
on you once.

Okay, what does the Big Board
say you have

from the 2:25‐to‐2:45 block?

Uh...ooh! Study hall.

Can we listen to music
while we do it?

Of course you can.
But it has to be classical.

Okay.

Kool Moe Dee.

Ha ha! Ha ha!

Yeah, I knew this would be easy.

Of course, while I was becoming

one of America's foremost
educational innovators,

I still had to do my day job.

Oh, hey, everybody!

Well, finally, Dre.

Another minute, and you would
have been furloughed.

Oh.
Um, alright, everybody.

First order of business,

uh, we have an exciting
new client ‐‐ skim milk.

Ah, water milk!

With the nutrients of milk
and the flavor of water. Nice.

Lucy, how come
your video isn't on?

Lucy: Oh, I prefer
to have it off.

I don't have
a great connection.

But I‐I'm here
and ready to work.

That is ridiculous.
Turn it on.

[ Chuckling ] O‐Okay.
Just a second.

Here we go.
Ew!

Oh, my God.
Oh!

Satan, I rebuke you.

[ Child crying in distance ]
Tucker!

[ Clattering ]
You're fine. Stop crying.

So help me G‐‐

Good God, man!

[ Clattering continues,
Tucker screaming ]

It's not ‐‐
It's not my fault, okay?

My nanny will not come
to my house.

Does your nanny do your hair?

I knew a woman would crumble
in a crisis.

That's why there's only one
of you here, little lady.

[ Clattering and crying
continue ]
I'm sorry.

Really, just balancing...
Tucker: Hyah! Hyah!

...you know, kids' school
and work and life and...

[ Laughs evilly ]
It's a lot harder
than I thought.

Maybe for you,

but for me, it's been a breeze.

How?
I'm on a schedule.

Plus, I get hours back
from no commute and no drop‐off.

I've got nothing but time.

Same here. And since I've never
done drop‐offs, double time.

I love it. You see that?

Testosterone ‐‐
it activates in a crisis.

That's why my hair's been
growing like crazy.
Oh, God.

My cats love
playing with it, too.
[ Cat meows ]

Uh, look, Dre, that sounds
great for you,

but what about your kids?

They're flourishing!

You know what?

Diane made me an ashtray
in pottery.

I'm thinking about
taking up smoking.

A schedule is ‐‐
is not a bad idea.

I mean, maybe if I put Tucker
on a schedule...
[ Tucker shouting ]

...things would
get under control.
Boy: I want out!

[ Clattering ]
What was that?!

Stop it, Tucker!
Tucker: Again! Ugh!

I really appreciate the advice,
Dre. I really do.

It means so much to me.
Tucker, why ‐‐

[ Whooshing ]
Why is Mommy's candle tipped
over on the magazines?

[ Fire alarm blaring ]
Call the fire ‐‐ I got to go.

You know what?
[ Tucker screaming ]

Y‐You still got to send me in
your status report!

I don't care
if you're on fire!

Hoo! You are not
gonna believe this one.

July 2019.

If you're looking for whipped
cream, your grandmother took it,

and do not ask me
any questions.

No, me and Olivia are actually
throwing out expired foods.

Most people have 15 expired
items in their fridge.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]
Hey, Olivia,

is a "best before" date the same
thing as an expiration date?

Olivia: No, most food
is good for a month

after the "best before" date.

[ Scoffs ] Of course
you knew that,

'cause you know everything.
No, I don't.

I don't know who the cutest guy
in the world is.

It's me. [ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ]
Now I know everything.

I'll call you later.
Alright. Bye.

Alright. So things are going
well between you and Olivia?

Yeah, it's going pretty great.
It's just...

really sucks being apart.

I know it's tough, but at least
you guys have technology

so you can connect.

Yeah, but Zoom just isn't
the real thing.
That's true.

I'll be lucky if I see her

before this soy sauce expires
in 2021.

[ Sighing ] Yeah.

Well, listen, I know things
are strange right now,

but there's got to be a way
for us to, I don't know,

make things seem normal?
Hmm.

Well, if ‐‐ if it wasn't
a pandemic,

Olivia probably
would have come over here

for dinner by now, right?
Yeah.

Why don't we have
a virtual hang?
Really?

Uh‐huh.
That'd be great!

We can't let this virus stop us
from living our lives.

Thanks, Mom.
You're welcome.

Hey, but...

one thing to note.
Yes?

No wacky backgrounds.

That's the fun of Zoom!

Oh, okay.
We'll discuss later.

No, it's my account.
We do wacky backgrounds.

A week into homeschooling,
and I was crushing it.

I had turned my dining room
into Harvard ‐‐

exclusive, challenging,
and all legacies.

Hey! I got you guys
some barbecue!

Whoa! What's the occasion?
No occasion.

Now, go wash your hands
before dinner.

Oh.
You can tell it's good.

You can see the food
through the paper bag.
Yeah.

[ Cellphone ringing ]
[ Chuckles ] Ooh.

Hey! Biggsy!

Ah. I bet you're calling

to have me take some more kids
under my wing, huh?

Well, know what?
I'll think about it.

Probably gonna have to rename
the school after me, though.

Actually ‐‐
You see...

it's all about discipline
and focus.

Oh! That's
the Johnson Prep motto,

discipline and focus.

Really?
Yep.

Well, I've got
another motto for you ‐‐

your kids haven't turned in
their work all week.

What?
I guess you could say

they lack
discipline and focus.

[ Stammers ]

I can tell
you cut your own hair.

Is my line crooked?

You didn't submit
any work all week?!

You didn't even do gym?!

You guys, it was five minutes
of toe touching!

How could this happen?!
We have a Big Board!

Is it not big enough?
Because I can make it bigger.

We have 10‐foot ceilings.
Nothing is wrong with the board.

It just doesn't feel
like school.

So you just gave up?

I want to learn,
and I want to do a good job.

It's...just impossible.

Ah. Okay, look, guys,
I‐I know it's hard, alright?

But we just don't want you
to be behind when you go back.

If we go back.

Am I spending the next year
doing this?

Is this what high school
is going to look like?

Am I doing college
in my bedroom?

And I haven't even seen
any of my friends in forever.

[ Sighs ]
It's all so depressing.

Oh, God.
Okay, okay.

You know what, guys?
Look.

Maybe you should just take
a break

from doing homework
this weekend.

Alright? We'll start fresh
on Monday.

That's a good idea.
Okay.
Sure.

Alright, go.

[ Sighing ]
Oh, my God.

You know what, baby?
Maybe it was too much to ask

for them to be
on their own schedule.

I mean, Junior was on
his own schedule at Howard

for only two days,
and he lost his mind.

Well, I mean, Dre, they ‐‐
they've lost their motivation.

How do you keep going

if there's no light
at the end of the tunnel?

Maybe we should let them slide
the rest of the semester.

I mean,
nothing from eighth grade

ever comes up
in real life.

You really want to
let them slide?

[ Sighing ] No.

I don't think I could handle
my kids getting bad grades.

I mean, every time
they get a B‐minus,

I'm afraid Don Lemon is gonna
call me out on his show.

Don Lemon.

That Big Board
isn't enough.

We've got to be
more hands‐on.

Oh, yes. Yes!

Dre, absolutely.

A‐And the hands
that are gonna be on are yours

because these ‐‐
What?

These are gonna be
saving lives.

I went to med school,
and asking me to teach

is like asking Mariah Carey
to do dishes.

[ Off‐key, high‐pitched ]
♪ Ah‐ah, ah‐ah, ah‐ah ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ♪

Being more hands‐on
meant I had to perform

a juggling act,
and the balls in the air

were work, teaching my kids,
and being a dad.

So, what they're looking for
is a new slogan

that'll bring skim milk
into the 21st century.

And we can't say it isn't
your grandfather's milk

because...

it is
your grandfather's milk.

My grandfather's milk was gin.
It was good for him...

and us.

Hey, Dad.
Hmm?

Can you help me with math?
One sec, guys.

[ Click ]
What's the problem, son?

I'm having trouble
solving for "x."

Let me see this.

Say Pops bets "x."
Then he has ‐‐

Well, it depends
on how much he bets.

Oh! So "x" can be different
things at different times.

Oh, yeah!
Hey, good work, son.

Thanks, Dad.

[ Click ]
Alright, guys, I'm back.

Here. "Skim milk ‐‐
new milk, new you."

Huh.
Dre...

[ Imitates explosion ]
...that is amazing.

I‐It gives me goosebumps.

And ‐‐ And it almost makes me
want to stop putting

heavy cream on my cereal.
Sorry. What?

Alright, I'm gonna have Design
mock something up.

Dad?
Hmm?

What's the
Continental Congress?

A slaveholder convention.

Oh.
You know, I'm thinking
a combination

of outdoor,
print, and social.

Yeah.

It took a second,

but, eventually,
we got into a rhythm.

I learned
how to balance everything

and started making
beautiful music.

Ah!

After a great initial
family call with Olivia,

Junior was wanting more.

But a rough day
had taken its toll on Bow.

Yes.
Hey, Mom?

Okay, Junior!

Sorry about that,

but you didn't respond
to my invite

for our next call
with Olivia.

It is gonna be great.

We are doing
a cheese tasting.

Monsieur Luc
is gonna give us each

35 cheeses to try
from the Brittany Region,

and the best part is
we are all gonna be comparing

cheese‐tasting notes.

I can't. Sometimes I just ‐‐
I just want to come home

and just, like,
have a glass of wine.

And what better to pair with
a glass of wine than cheese?

Seriously, Junior, I do
video conferences all day long,

and then I come home
and I'm confronted by Ruby,

who's telling me
that the virus is a plot

to take down Social Security,
and then I have more paperwork.

[ Voice breaking ] And I just
don't have the bandwidth

for 35 cheeses.

Alright. I get it.
Maybe some other time.

Yeah, maybe some other time.
You are...a busy woman.

Yeah. Thank you.

[ Scoffs ]

Oh! What?

Who let Montell Jordan
have a winery?

Dre: Babe!
Rainbow: Yeah?

Groceries
have been delivered!

Yay!

And huge breakthrough
today.

The kids turned in
all of their work,

and their teacher called
and said their turnaround

is "impressive."

Ooh!
Ha! Plus, at work,

we got James Corden
to play a gallon of skim milk

for a TV spot.

I gotta say, I am impressed.
[ Laughs ]

Yes, baby,
I am killing it!

I am up for any challenge.

I can re‐roof the house.

Okay, I ordered Oreos,
alright?

I‐I've been working
so hard,

keeping everything
together, baby,

and I can't even get
the damn cookies that I want!

S‐Sweetheart, they ‐‐
they look the same.

They are not the same, Bow!

So it's understandable
that you're stressed, sweetie.

We ‐‐ We ‐‐ We don't have any
of our normal coping mechanisms.

We can't go out.
We can't see friends.

I can't go to the bar

their vegetables

and get my work done and...

a box of cookies.

Maybe you're right.

I need to go easier,
