Original subtitles

ZOEY: MDMA.

Molly. Ecstasy.

All different terms for the same recreational drug,

which induces the same chemical reaction

that your brain unleashes when falling in love.

And for Vivek, who was doing this "love drug"

for the very first time with his very first girlfriend,

that meant rolling with every new fun-filled experience

that presented itself.

I'm the bossman in the suit with no tie

I can't be sober, I gotta stay high

Pour me some... in a Canada Dry

Runnin' this spaceship like Bonnie and Clyde

Don't worry, baby, I keep me some fire

[Distorted] Shenenehs and Birk...

[Heartbeat]

[Whiring]

[Tempo slows] Everything litty

I love when it's hot

Turned up the city, I broke off the notch

Got some more millis, I keep me a knot

I created history and made me a lot

[Normal tempo] I took the Bentley coupe back

Then I hopped in a Cayenne

As the night progressed and their highs crescendoed,

they moved the party from Titanium to Heidi's,

and the effects of the molly had everyone floating...

...until, one by one, the party fizzled,

leaving only three.

The chemistry between Vivek and Heidi was electric.

I took the Bentley coupe back

Then I hopped in a Cayenne

And that electricity became so intense

that Vivek found himself contemplating the question,

"How far was he willing to go in the name of love?"

Cash, money, checks, cash

Wheezy outta here

Watch out, world, I'm grown now

I'm grown

Learn something new every day

I don't know, so I'm-a feel my way

Got the weight of the world on me

But no regrets, this is what I say

Watch out, world, I'm grown now

I'm grown You can tell me

My heart beating so loud

Mama, look, I'm grown now

I'm grown

Ask me why it feels like someone cut my skull open,

removed my brain, put it in a blender,

and then then poured the slush back in.

- Nah. - Nah.

Fine, but you know it's coming anyway.

Your boy is coming down off a boatload of drugs

- and a boatload of sex. - Ah.

Guys, we had a threesome, and it was beyond wild!

- You had a threesome? - Oh!

My boy! My boy!

- That's amazing! - You know what?

Y-You deserve these soba noodles.

- Mmm! - You do. I don't need 'em.

I ain't have no threesome.

Focus. I need some details.

I'm a... I'm a visual guy,

so I need you to use adjectives like, uh...

like "rotund," you know, "moist."

Gosh, I mean, it was all such a blur.

Uh, first, we popped some molly.

- Okay. Right. - Smart choice.

Then me and Heidi started kissing.

- Obviously. - Mm-hmm.

Then she started kissing Alex.

- [Exhales sharply] Alex. - Damn.

Alex. Alex sounds thick. Was Alex...

- Was she thick like... - DOUG: Mm-hmm.

Um, I mean, sure.

I think he's on the rowing team. Dude's pretty swole.

What'd you say?

You had a threesome with a...

with a guy?

Told you guys, shit was wild!

Um...

ZOEY: A toast to our baby girl, Nomi,

and her baby girl, Luna!

Welcome home!

I'm so hap...

Uh... Oh. Oh.

Oh, my God. Oh, that's good.

Single-mom life has been a lot.

ANA: Well, look, you're home now,

and you can lean on us

for all the booze and support that you need.

Ohh!

Thank you guys so much.

And since you're willing to help,

I think now's a good time

to talk changing and feeding schedules.

- Changing and feeding? - Oh. Ooh!

Ah, looks like I have, uh, youth ministry with Javi.

And I have class in like 10 minutes.

- Yeah. Excuse me. - ZOEY: I'm really sorry,

but I actually have, like, a photo shoot with Joey this afternoon so...

SKYLER: And I don't have anything,

but I'm not feeding and changing your baby.

- [Knock on door] - Wow.

It really is great to be back.

Oh. Junior.

Everything okay?

Oh, my goodness.

Mom's not pregnant again, is she?

Probably, but that's not why I'm here.

I came to reclaim my woman.

Oh.

Well, good luck with that.

[Sighs]

- Well, hello, there, Skyler. - [Door closes]

Junior.

It has been a minute.

Rumor has it I've driven you to white men.

Look, we've discussed this.

I've moved on.

You should, too.

I'll never stop fighting for our love, Skyler!

- [Luna crying] - Oh, God.

Is that a baby I detect?

Yes, and I just got her down.

Ah!

My baby brother, Devante,

used to cry like that all the time.

That is the sound

of a soiled diaper and heat rash.

Also, that baby's allergic to soy.

Allow me.

Probably fine.

So, um, real question is...

was there any homeboy-on-homeboy action?

Oh, between me and Alex?

- No. Negative. - Yeah. Good question.

- I mean, we did kiss, but that's it. - [Sighs]

[Breathes deeply] You kissed a man?

- Hmm? - Wow.

I mean, I just... I didn't know.

I didn't know you were...

you were bi.

Wait. Guys, I'm not bi.

Well, uh, of course you are.

- You... You kissed... kissed another man. - Yeah.

So? I'm still straight.

No.

I'm... I'm straight

because I've never even thought

about kissing a guy, right?

But the fact that you did makes you bisexual.

Or, at the very least, bicurious.

Mm, no, because before last night,

I never considered it, either.

But, you know, we were rolling hard,

and Heidi wanted me to, so I tried it.

- AARON: Okay, look, I hear you. - Nah.

I just think that when a man kisses another man...

- he has some tendencies. - Tendencies?

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

I shared one kiss with a guy one time

and decided it wasn't for me.

And, honestly, had I liked it,

I'd have taken things further.

But I didn't.

I'd argue that is the straightest thing a man could do.

I'd argue there's a million straighter things

that a man could do.

- Barbecuing. - Hating your father.

Barbecuing! Anything... shrimps, ribs, steaks.

Okay? Anything other than kissing another man.

So, what? You guys think I'm gay now?

I mean...

I don't know what to think, bro.

Well, because there's nothing to think about.

I'm telling you I'm not gay.

Says the dude with the sunkissed highlights,

delicately sipping on that H-2-O through a straw?

AARON: Mm. Mnh-mnh.

It's not not gay.

- Wow! - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

This is fascinating.

Since you guys are clearly the "sultans of straight,"

why don't you school me?

What else can't straight men do?

- Set it off, my man. - Okay.

Since you're asking...

Look at my man, 3:00. You see him?

Look at him.

Okay, he's eating a banana.

Unless he's gay,

he should be using a fork and a knife to eat that.

- Mm-hmm. - It's a little too much.

Nah, you know what? Forget it. Okay?

This is some of the most homophobic trash

I have ever heard. I'm out.

What?

Dramatic storm-off?

The shoulders.

BOTH: Definitely gay.

[Knock on door]

JAZZ: Hey. [Chuckles]

We looking for Vivek.

Well, I've got nothing to say to you.

- DOUG: Yo. - Whoa!

What's going on? Is everything okay?

- Vivek called us homophobic. - Well, because you are.

And apparently I'm gay

because I had the "wrong" kind of threesome and kissed a dude.

Wow! I've missed a lot.

- Wait, you kissed a guy? - Yes.

Okay, having absolutely zero knowledge of this event,

I would like to jump to a conclusion...

this definitely sounds gay-adjacent.

VIVEK: Okay, only it's not, okay?

Because I wasn't into it.

But, apparently, it doesn't matter

because I also drink out of straws and eat bananas.

- Whoa, whoa! - Oh-ho-ho!

- Yikes. - Vivek.

- Bananas? In public? - Told you.

Wow. I'm just surrounded by homophobia.

Dude, we are not homophobic.

It's just, look, by definition,

two people of the same gender

sharing a sexual moment is...

[Whispering] ...it's gay!

- That's the facts. - Mm.

Says the girl who, uh,

begged me for a kiss freshman year.

- Mm. - [Whistles]

- Ooh! - Ooh!

Okay, that was different

because I-I was drunk and being dumb.

That's literally the exact same situation.

No, it's not. You're a guy.

And, no offense, but I don't see

how Heidi can mess with a man

who's been messing around with other men.

- [Scoffs] - Wow.

But you can mess with a cornball-ass [bleep]

- who can run real fast? - Oh.

- Ha! - His name's Ricky,

- and he's the slowest one on the team. - Yeah.

Look, guys, relax.

Bottom line is,

is that a girl hooking up with another girl

is like a rite of passage, you know what I mean?

And, honestly, it's...

it's hot as hell.

But for guys, it's just gay as hell?

ALL: Yes!

- Vivek, come on. - We didn't make the rules, man.

No, but you're just perpetuating outdated social constructs,

which is beyond problematic.

And homophobic!

Would you stop saying that, please?

Nobody here has anything against gay people.

I support gay marriage. I do.

And... And I have tons of gay friends.

- Dude, do you even hear yourself? - I'm bi.

Like, what if I made some racist-ass comment

but then I just followed it up

with, "But I have tons of Black friends"?

It's very different. Sorry.

NOMI: I think what Vivek is trying to say

is that just like racism,

there are varying degrees of homophobia,

and I'm sorry, but you're really treading

some casually homophobic waters.

Oh, my God.

- Thank you, Nomi! - Yeah.

And, look, you guys are my friends, okay?

I know this is just coming from a place of pure ignorance

and not hatred.

- It's mainly just toxic masculinity. - In what way?

You know in exactly what way, mother[bleep]!

- Whoa! - Oh, oh.

Yo, uh, like, I-I don't get this shit.

Yo, I don't get how you smashing old boy

makes me look toxic.

Because if it was you who had sex during the break,

none of this would have been an issue.

I'm sorry, but no self-respecting man...

none... is gonna forgive their girl

once they asked for a break

and went and smashed somebody else.

Am I right?

I mean, look, I don't want

to get in the middle of your guys' thing here,

uh, but if you're asking me what you are,

I will say I don't think any self-respecting man

is going six months without smashing, period.

So that's technically on you for agreeing to that.

VIVEK: Unbelievable! So, uh, just because Doug

didn't, uh, run through a bunch of women,

- is he gay now, too, just like me? - No, Vivek.

Because your lips touched the lips of an another man,

that is what makes you gay.

And Jazz smashing this owl-eyed dude

is what makes her a toss.

Damn.

And you saying that...

is what makes you a jerk.

Boy

I can tell that she choosy

I can tell...

Well, well, well.

Junior, what are you doing here?

I came to meet your boyfriend.

You gonna introduce me to the lucky little fella?

I can tell that she choosy

Junior, Rodney. Rodney, Junior.

Yo, is this like your cousin or your dad or something?

No.

But she used to call me Daddy when we made love. Often.

We were both satisfied sexually.

Wait.

I thought you said I was the first White guy you ever dated.

Yo, you wanna step outside

and see how White I am, playboy?

[Luna whimpers]

Dude.

Do you have a baby on your back?

Do you have a baby on your back?

Okay, Junior, you need to go.

You are a Black man in a bar

with a White baby strapped to your back.

Check yourself, negro.

[Scoffs]

Oh, Sky.

This negro needs no checking.

It is 2020.

Nobody cares about any of that.

[Indistinct conversations]

I stand corrected. People care.

Rodney... Sky...

this isn't over.

[Raps table] Good day.

[Luna coos]

What?

NOMI: Okay.

Can we just, like, regroup

and refocus this conversation?

Why? This whole thing,

all this doesn't even matter anyway.

Yo, Vivek can do whatever the hell he wants.

Yeah.

- We gonna love him regardless. - Pause.

- Mm! See? - What, what?

Ooh! It's that, though.

- It's that right there, okay? - What...

Is the fear of Doug sounding gay so awful

that you need to qualify it with the word "pause"? [Sighs]

I mean, can't you just say, "I love you, Vivek"?

No! Straight men don't talk like that, Nomi. Sorry.

All right? We don't put "I" in front of "love you"

when you're talking to another man,

and we definitely don't kiss them, okay?

And I don't know why I'm becoming the villain

because I'm expressing how I feel.

Because it's not about how you feel!

It's about you not respecting what I know about myself

based on my personal experience.

You guys are supposed to be my friends.

- We are your friends, man. Chill out. - Yeah. Come on.

If you were, you would take me at my word.

You know what?

If you guys want me to be such a man, fine.

Since I'm the man of this house and I pay the rent here,

how about you guys get [bleep].

Come on, bro.

All right.

Threw away your love letters

- I thought it'd make me feel better - [Knock on door]

DOUG: Jazlyn?

- I finally got you out of my bed - [Knock on door] Jazlyn.

Doug, leave. Now.

Jazz, I'm sorry.

Yo, I-I shouldn't have disrespected you like that.

I'm sending you one text at a time

It's just, yo,

ever since you told me about what happened,

I just can't get the image

of you and ol' boy out of my head.

Again, it was your idea to sleep with other people,

- not mine. - No, I-I... I know, I know.

And I shouldn't have asked you for that.

I shouldn't have even blamed you for this.

I need you to know

- [Sniffles] - Yo.

I-If you don't even want to talk to me again,

I-I get it.

If you don't put up a fight

I just wanted to come here and say to you...

- And you say you know what love is - [Sighs]

I-I j... I just wanted to come here and say to you

you didn't deserve what I said.

Unh

I'm sorry.

I swear you never seen it in your life

Ooh, ooh

Unh

- Mm - [Sniffles]

I swear you never seen it in your life

[Dog barking in distance]

[Door opens]

[Voice breaking] I'm sorry, too.

Jazz, don't do that.

You don't have to apologize for anything.

No, we... we can fix this.

Okay?

I love you.

So, so much.

[Sabrina Claudio's "Holding the Gun" plays]

My love for you is infinite

I ride and die and live in it

[Chuckles]

And if my life depends on it

I'd use my last breath to tell you this

- You miss me, huh? - Mm-hmm.

You miss me?

I'll make excuses

And I'll keep all your secrets

- I will [Distorted] take... - RICKY: 'Sup, bro?

You enjoying my sloppy seconds?

Doug? Babe?

- Uh... - You okay?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - What's wrong?

I, um...

Babe, I-I think we need to stay the course with this.

Yo, our break is up in only a-a few weeks,

and we'll be right back together, okay?

[Sighs]

All right?

[Sighs]

[Vocalizing]

I love you.

Love you, too.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

- Think I'm gonna get going. - All right.

Oh, hey, dude. Listen.

I know that you bared your heart and soul

and that you lost this fight,

but this is only your first, like, real heartbreak.

And, you know, take it from someone who's had three.

You're for sure gonna learn how to love again.

[Door opens]

All right. Bye.

- [Door closes] - Bye.

Hey, Skyler.

Just wanted to say that it was great seeing you again,

and, for what it's worth,

your boyfriend seems all right, I guess.

[Chuckles]

I like that you fought for me.

Slide into my DMs sometime.

So, after failing to realize why Vivek was so upset,

Nomi decided to appeal to Aaron

in a way that he would understand.

Let's think of it like this.

By some people's definition,

a strong Black man dates strictly in his race, right?

Absolutely.

By my definition, yeah.

Perfect. Okay.

So, let's just say that a strong Black man

has a short-lived relationship with...

I don't know... let's say a Cuban,

this conservative Cuban.

Nomi, stop.

No, I'm serious, okay?

This was your definition, so, you know, let's use it.

You, at one point, prided yourself

in dating strictly Black women,

and then, last year, you had a moment,

a short-lived relationship, with Ana.

So, does that one time

suddenly make you less of a strong Black man?

No.

An idiot maybe, but...

- no. - Exactly.

So can we please just apply that same logic to Vivek?

One experience does not define someone

for the rest of their life.

[R&B music plays]

[Vocalizing]

[Knock on door]

Yo, before you make us bounce again,

can you just hear us out, please?

Please.

Yo, yesterday got way out of hand...

[Door closes]

...and we both feel really bad about it.

So we got you a little something

as a token of our friendship.

Think you'll enjoy that.

[Chuckles, snaps fingers]

Seriously?

- Yeah. - "Sorry you're gay"?

Huh?

- Oh. - Damn it, Doug!

I-I told you to tell the baker, "Sorry we said you're gay."

Hey, I ordered it over the phone, bro.

- Dude must've misheard me. - Oh, my God.

To be clear, you guys got me a gay cake?

I mean, he...

[Chuckles] This is seriously

the sweetest thing you've ever done for me.

- [Laughs] - Bottom line is, bro,

we said some things yesterday that weren't cool.

Yep.

And moving forward, we're gonna be way more aware

of the things that come out of our mouths

and even more open to the things that go in them.

Hmm.

Okay, I'm talking about straws...

- Mm-hmm. - ...bananas, eh, Dodger dogs.

Um, I...

I just want to say personally that I am... I'm so sorry.

You know, you're one of my best friends,

and I believe you.

And... I love you, man.

Wait, you love with me with an "I"?

Yes, man, I love you with an "I."

- 'Ey! - Come here.

Acceptance.

Appreciation.

Respect. Understanding.

All different terms rooted in the same emotion... love.

And Aaron and Doug learned how much they could grow

in the name of love.

- All right. I'm here for you guys. - [Sighs]

You're gonna be okay.

- I don't like this, man. - What would my mother say?

You guys worked on this, okay?

- Hmm? - You guys got this. On my count.

- 1, 2... - [Exhales deeply]

Hurry up.

...3.

[Slurping]

Wow.

It's so much easier to drink a smoothie with a straw.

- You're right about that. - I told you!

All right.

Now onto the big guns.

- Nah. - Nah.

They're delicious! I brought 'em from home!
