[CLASS BELL RINGS]

DON'T TRADE ANY SNACKS TODAY.

MAYBE MY CHEESE STICK FOR JAMIE'S YOGURT?

OKAY, BUT JUST NOT YOUR SANDWICH.

OH!

[THUDDING]

I AM SO SORRY. I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE.

THAT'S OKAY.

MORNING, MR. KENDALL.

HEY, BUDDY.

MR. KENDALL? YOU'RE MR. KENDALL?

YEAH. [CHUCKLES]

I-- I EXPECTED SOMEBODY DIFFERENT.

[LAUGHS]

WELL, I'M SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU,

BUT YES, I AM HIM.

GRAYSON KENDALL.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

OKAY, HONEY. YOU GO ON. I'LL SEE YOU AFTER SCHOOL.

BYE, MOM. I LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU TOO. MWAH!

SEE YOU IN THE CLASSROOM, MR. KENDALL.

SOUNDS GOOD, BUDDY.

YOU KNOW, ASH IS REALLY EXCITED

TO HAVE YOU AS HIS NEW TEACHER.

HE TALKS A LOT ABOUT YOU AT HOME.

BYE.

OH, MRS. HELMS?

YOU'RE HEAD OF THE P.T.A., CORRECT?

-YES. -WELL, I'VE JUST VOLUNTEERED--

...TO BE YOUR NEW TEACHER ADVISOR.

REALLY?

MRS. JENKINS THOUGHT

IT'D BE A GREAT WAY FOR ME TO GET TO KNOW ALL THE PARENTS.

SHE SUGGESTED I CONTACT YOU ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING MEETING.

OH, YEAH, WE HAVE ONE TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

GREAT. I'LL SEE YOU THEN... MRS. HELMS.

OH, YOU CAN CALL ME LILY.

LILY?

LIKE THE FLOWER.

YOU KNOW, I SHOULD GET GOING.

IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU, MR. KENDALL.

GRAYSON.

RIGHT. MR. GRAYSON. HAVE A NICE DAY.

[♪]

[WENDY]: MAN, I'D HATE TO BE YOU.

[COURTNEY]: WELL, ALLERGIES ARE A VERY SERIOUS THING.

I'VE NOW IMPLEMENTED A STRICT -"NO PEANUT/NO SOY/ -NO GLUTEN"

POLICY IN OUR HOUSE.

THAT WAY, BRITTANY IS COVERED.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. I JUST HAD TO CALL WORK

AND LET THEM KNOW I GOT A NEW LISTING.

SO WHERE ARE WE AT? WHAT'D I MISS?

AH, YOU DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING. I PROMISE. GO TO WORK.

AND MISS THE GOSSIP?

NO WAY. THIS SINGLE MOM NEEDS AS MUCH EXCITEMENT

AS SHE CAN GET, OKAY?

SPEAKING OF WHICH, DID YOU HEAR

WHO THE NEW P.T.A. TEACHER ADVISOR IS?

I DID!

COULDN'T YOU JUST RIP

THAT PREPPY LITTLE SWEATER-VEST RIGHT OFF OF HIM?

SETTLE DOWN, SINGLE MOM, HE'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU.

BUT FOR ME? NOT SO MUCH.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

I HATE TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS,

BUT HE'S LIKELY LOOKING FOR A WIFE--

-...TO SETTLE DOWN WITH, NOT A-- -NOT A WHAT?

USED-GOODS SINGLE MOM?

THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

RIGHT.

MOMS WITH LOOSE CHILD-BEARING VAJAYJAYS

AND MILK-PROVIDING BOOBS?

WHAT YOUNG MAN WOULDN'T WANT THAT, HUH?

[SCATTERED CHUCKLES]

HE'S COMING TOMORROW.

OOH! I'LL BRING MY GLASSES, GET A BETTER LOOK.

IN YOUR DREAMS, MAYBE.

[CHUCKLING]

[♪]

[CALLS OUT]: PETER?

PETER?

[SIGHS] "HEY, LILY. HOW ARE YOU?"

"I'M GREAT, THANKS."

THANKS FOR ASKING.

WHY ARE YOU DRESSED?

WORK.

[SIGHS] WORK? YOU JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK.

DON'T START, LILY.

DON'T BE LIKE THAT.

LOOK, I TOLD YOU,

IT'S GONNA LONG HOURS AND LOTS OF TRAVEL,

JUST UNTIL THIS DEAL GETS DONE.

ASH! COME SAY HELLO AND GOODBYE TO YOUR FATHER.

HE'S, UH, LEAVING, FOR WORK.

-[LAPTOP CRASHING] -ASH!

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, DAD. I DIDN'T MEAN TO!

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?

YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AROUND MY COMPUTER!

[ASH SOBBING]

ASH HASN'T SEEN YOU IN TWO FULL DAYS,

AND THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS SNAP AT HIM?

I HAVE IMPORTANT STUFF IN THERE!

YOU HAVE IMPORTANT STUFF IN THIS HOUSE!

SPECIFICALLY, A 7-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO NEEDS HIS FATHER!

-THAT'S NOT FAIR. -[FRUSTRATED SIGH]

OH, IT'S "NOT FAIR."

[CAR HORN HONKS TWICE]

WHO'S THAT?

IT'S JANE.

OH, JANE. JANE THE ASSISTANT, RIGHT?

YEAH, I ASKED HER TO PICK ME UP.

OH, OF COURSE YOU DID. WHY?

SHE'S COMING WITH US.

WE HAVE A 7:00 MEETING IN DETROIT.

LOOK, I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.

I'M SORRY.

[♪]

[♪]

ONCE THE WEBSITE'S UP,

WE'LL BE ABLE TO REACH THE PARENTS A LOT EASIER,

AND I'LL ALSO KEEP THE P.T.A. FILE UPDATED

ON ALL MEETING NOTES.

THAT SHOULD HELP WITH THE ORGANIZATION OF A BAKE SALE.

WELL, I JUST HAVE TO SAY YOU PUT MRS. WILLIAMS TO SHAME.

THE MOST SHE CONTRIBUTED WAS STORIES

OF PEOPLE PASSING GAS IN THE TEACHERS' BREAK ROOM.

WELL, I'LL DO MY BEST.

UH, AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME USE YOUR COMPUTER, LILY.

SO, TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF.

YOU'RE, UH, NOT WEARING A RING,

SO YOU'RE CLEARLY NOT MARRIED?

UH...

N-NO.

OH... THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. THAT MEANS "ETERNITY," RIGHT?

YEAH, IT DOES.

FAMILY HEIRLOOM?

YEAH.

KIND OF.

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO HOW DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?

HAS ANYONE SHOWN YOU AROUND?

WELL, I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD MUCH TIME TO DO ANY SOCIALIZING.

ELLIE HERE IS ACTUALLY A VERY SUCCESSFUL REALTOR.

SHE'S OUT AND ABOUT ALL THE TIME,

SO, IF YOU NEED A GREAT GUIDE,

SHE'S MORE THAN WILLING TO SHOW YOU AROUND.

I HAVE A SITTER TILL 11:00 P.M.

THANKS, UH,

BUT I'M ACTUALLY JUST FOCUSING ON MY WORK RIGHT NOW.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE CLASSROOM

TO GRADE SOME PAPERS.

UH, THANK YOU FOR THE MEETING, IT WAS GREAT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION

TOWARDS OUR PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATION,

AND ON BEHALF OF OLIVE BRANCH ELEMENTARY P.T.A.,

MAY THIS BE YOUR OFFICIAL WELCOME.

NOW I'LL GO OVER THE SITE WITH YOU ON SUNDAY,

BUT I'M HOPING THAT

ALL OF OUR CHILDREN'S ALLERGIES WILL BE UPDATED.

WELL, GOODBYE, MR. KENDALL.

THANK YOU.

[♪]

SMART AND HANDSOME. WHAT A CATCH.

JUST LISTEN TO US.

WE'RE ALL TRYING TO BE MILFs.

NOT TRYING. WE ARE MILFs.

AND THIS SINGLE MOTHER

CAN DEFINITELY GET MR. KENDALL, THANK YOU.

WELL, DON'T BE UPSET

IF HE ACCIDENTALLY CALLS YOU "MOM."

[SHE SNICKERS]

[♪]

THERE IT IS. P.T.A. AGENDA.

"GRAYSON D. KENDALL."

"D" STANDS FOR "DELICIOUS," I ASSUME.

LOOK AT THAT. HE ALREADY LISTED YOU

AS THE P.T.A. CHAIRPERSON.

OH, AND HE JUST POSTED

THAT HE NEEDS ALL OF THE NUTRITION FACTS

TO PUT UP ON THE SITE.

THAT'S OUR "IN."

-OUR "IN"? I-- -YEAH.

MOM, WHEN IS DAD GONNA BE HOME?

HE SAID HE WOULD TAKE ME TO THE AQUARIUM TODAY.

TONIGHT, HONEY. ELLIE AND I'LL BE DONE SOON,

AND THEN WE'LL GO.

JUST GO UPSTAIRS AND PACK YOUR BAG,

AND DON'T FORGET YOUR SUN HAT.

YES!

ALRIGHT, SO HERE'S THE PLAN.

YOU'RE GONNA TELL HIM THAT I ORGANIZE

THE NUTRITION FACTS

AND SUGGEST THAT HE AND I HAVE A MEETING.

ALONE... AT NIGHT.

IF YOU GET MY DRIFT.

YEAH, LOOK, I DON'T KNOW. I--

-[ALARM BEEPING] -WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

IT'S THE AMBER ALERT.

PETER INSTALLED IT ON MY COMPUTER.

OKAY, YEAH, MAKE IT STOP.

[WHACKS KEYS, ALERT STOPS]

HE PUT AN AMBER ALERT ON YOUR COMPUTER?

YEAH. HE ALSO GOT ME PEPPER-SPRAY,

AND IT'S IN MY PURSE AND CAR.

PEPPER-SPRAY? AMBER ALERT? A LITTLE PARANOID?

[LAUGHS]

MOM! YOU READY?

HEY. YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

I'LL LET YOU GUYS GO.

I GOT TO GET OUTTA HERE ANYWAY. FRANKIE'S GOT A SOCCER GAME.

HEY, DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE SET-UP.

RIGHT. SET-UP.

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]

HEY, LILY.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

MOM!

HI, BUD!

DID YOU HAVE A NICE DAY?

YEAH, MR. KENDALL BROUGHT

THESE AWESOME ROBOT TOY THINGS.

I'LL GO GET MY BAG.

ALRIGHT.

IT'S AN ANCIENT HUMAN PRACTICE

THAT MASKS BE WORN DURING FEASTS OR WARS OF PASSION.

EACH OF THE CHILDREN ARE MAKING ONE.

THE KIDS ARE JUST FASCINATED WITH THEM.

INTERESTING.

WELL, YOU'RE A BIG HIT.

ASH IS REALLY INTO IT.

WELL, I TRY.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE FUN ELEMENTS

TO HELP PROPEL THE EDUCATION.

[CRASHING]

-OH! -IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

I'M SORRY, MR. KENDALL!

IT'S OKAY, BUD. HEY, I'M NOT MAD.

MOM, CAN I GO TO THE HALL TO TALK WITH JAMIE?

SURE, HONEY, JUST--

I'LL MEET YOU AT THE ENTRANCE, OKAY?

[♪]

YOU'RE REALLY GOOD WITH KIDS, GRAYSON.

HONESTLY, IT'S A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

EVER THOUGHT ABOUT OF HAVING ANY KIDS OF YOUR OWN?

YES.

I SHOULD GO.

I'LL SEE YOU SOON, LILY.

HEY.

I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT NEED THIS.

OH! GREAT.

YOU LEFT IT AT THE SCHOOL.

I GOT YOUR ADDRESS FROM ONE OF THE FILES.

FIGURED YOU MIGHT NEED THIS OVER THE WEEKEND.

YEAH, UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I GOT CAUGHT IN A LITTLE RAIN SHOWER.

DO YOU WANT TO, UH, COME IN, AND DRY OFF?

YEAH. I'M... I'M FINE.

DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT THAT IN THE DRYER?

YEAH. SURE.

[♪]

HERE'S A SHIRT.

THANKS.

TRANSCENDENCE.

VERY INTERESTING.

MY HUSBAND THINKS I'M BORING,

READING PHILOSOPHICAL BOOKS.

I THINK THEY'RE INTERESTING.

HOW COULD YOU EVER BE BORING?

THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?

NO.

TALKING TO SOMEONE ALWAYS HELPS ME.

HE'S, UH... HE'S OUT OF TOWN.

IT'S OKAY, LILY.

I, UH...

I THINK THAT HE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR.

WHERE'S ASH?

HE'S AT MY MOM'S.

WELL, I'M ALREADY TAKING ASH FOR ICE CREAM,

I CAN TUCK HIM IN.

YOU CAN DO P.T.A. STUFF, IF YOU NEED TO.

HE'S NOT.

HE'S TRAVELING, UM, AS ALWAYS.

WHY DON'T YOU GO GET YOUR JACKET?

NOPE. IT'S NOT MAKING ME FEEL ANY BETTER.

HI, MRS. JENKINS.

I'VE BROUGHT SOME LEFTOVERS FROM THE BAKE SALE.

SOUNDS TASTEFUL.

JUST GONNA PUT ONE IN EACH OF THE TEACHERS' CUBBIES.

SAY, I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK YOU--

HOW IS MR. KENDALL WORKING OUT AS YOUR NEW ADVISOR?

UM... HE'S REALLY NICE.

HE WAS QUITE EAGER TO GET INVOLVED.

IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR A NEW TEACHER

TO GET TO KNOW EVERYONE.

IT IS.

HE ACTUALLY MENTIONED YOU THIS MORNING,

THAT YOU, PERSONALLY, HAVE BEEN MORE THAN WELCOMING.

REALLY? HE SAID THAT?

HE SURE DID.

WELL, UM, ALL OF US HAVE BEEN REALLY WELCOMING.

WELL, REGARDLESS, IT'S VERY NICE OF YOU,

AFTER ALL HE'S BEEN THROUGH.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK, LILY.

[♪]

[GASPS]

EMBARRASSED OF ME?

WHAT?

I OVERHEARD YOU WITH MRS. JENKINS.

NO, IT-IT-IT'S...

SHE'S THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

LEFTOVERS FROM THE BAKE SALE.

[♪]

HOW SWEET OF YOU.

WE NEED TO TALK.

SHH...

IT'S JUST NOT ME.

I SHOULD GET BACK TO CLASS.

[♪]

RIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY... EIGHTS?

GO FISH.

[PHONE BEEPS]

WHO'S IT FROM, MOM?

-NOBODY, HONEY. -COME ON, MOM.

I WANT SOME ASH TIME.

[TEXT BEEPS]

[THUD OUTSIDE]

[PUTS CARDS DOWN]

ASH, STAY HERE.

[♪]

[♪]

[GASPING] OH, MY GOD.

[LAUGHING]

SURPRISE!

YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACE, MOM.

I TOLD YOU IT WOULD WORK, DAD.

[LAUGHS]

YOU DON'T LIKE IT?

IT'S ASH'S, FROM SCHOOL.

YEAH, I-- OF COURSE.

YEAH, ASH HERE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME

TO MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME SNEAK IN THE BACK DOOR.

-RIGHT, BUDDY? -YUP.

WELL, YOU GUYS REALLY SURPRISED ME. NICE JOB.

UH, AND I HAVE CHINESE FOOD,

HAAGEN-DAZS IN THE FREEZER,

AND A MOVIE FOR YOU AND ME ON VIDEO-ON-DEMAND.

HOW'S THAT SOUND?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE MEANT TO BE IN PHOENIX?

NO. WE CLOSED THE DEAL THIS MORNING.

OH, YEAH?

AND TO BE HONEST,

I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND ANYONE FROM WORK FOR A SOLID MONTH.

WELL I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING,

BUT JANE'S PREGNANT,

AND SHE HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT PLEASANT TO BE AROUND.

JANE AS IN "JANE YOUR ASSISTANT" JANE?

TOPIC-OF-CONVERSATION JANE?

YEAH, HONEY.

JANE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WELL, WHAT'S TO UNDERSTAND?

SHE'S ENGAGED TO JIM, SWEETHEART.

JIM?

YEAH, THAT'S WHY I HAD TO HIRE HER.

YOU KNOW, BOSS'S GIRLFRIEND GETS THE PERKS--

INCLUDING FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL.

IT HAS BEEN INSANE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

I MEAN, YOU KNEW WHAT I WAS THINKING,

AND I THOUGHT THAT YOU AND HER WERE...

I KNOW, I-I-I...

I DON'T KNOW,

I GUESS I LIKED, YOU KNOW, HAVING A JEALOUS WIFE.

[LAUGHS]

LET'S BE HONEST.

IT DID MADE YOU MISS ME A LITTLE MORE.

OKAY, I'M GONNA GRAB THE PLATES.

WHY DON'T WE HAVE DINNER AROUND THE TABLE?

HUH? FAMILY DINNER.

ALRIGHT.

I'VE REALLY MISSED YOU.

YEAH.

LET'S GO.

WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND GRAB MY BAG FROM THE CAR?

I LEFT IT IN THE BACK SEAT.

SURE.

THANKS, BABE.

[♪]

THANK YOU.

I, UH... I REALLY...

I REALLY MISSED YOU.

SO YOU GOT ME FLOWERS? AWW...

COME ON, LIL.

LET'S DIG IN.

YEAH.

[♪]

COME ON, HONEY. LET'S GO.

COURTNEY BRIXTON LATE?

THIS IS A FIRST.

NO, I'M NOT LATE, LILY.

BRITTANY'S ALREADY IN HER CLASS.

I WAS JUST GRABBING MY FILE FOLDER

TO PROPOSE A NEW AGENDA TO THE P.T.A. LADIES.

A NEW P.T.A. AGENDA?

ISN'T THAT MEANT TO GO THROUGH ME?

I SAW YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

MR. KENDALL?

YOU KNOW WHAT, ASH?

I NEED TO SPEAK WITH MRS. BRIXTON FOR A MOMENT.

CAN YOU GO PLAY A GAME, HONEY?

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAW,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT YOUR HUSBAND IS A VERY NICE MAN,

AND HE DESERVES TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF WOMAN HE MARRIED.

SLOW DOWN, MOM!

COME ON, HONEY. WE'RE LATE.

TARDY AGAIN, LILY?

MORNING, MR. KENDALL.

IT'S BEEN A LONG MORNING.

SAY, WHY DON'T YOU HEAD INTO CLASS

AND GET STARTED ON YOUR SPELLING WORKSHEETS?

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

YOU DON'T LOOK WELL.

NO. NO, I'M NOT OKAY. NO. WE NEED TO TALK.

AND THIS, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS "WE"-- NEEDS TO STOP.

AND YOU'VE GOT TO STOP TEXTING ME, OKAY?

I'M SORRY. I'M NOT FOLLOWING.

IT'S A MISTAKE, GRAYSON.

LOOK, I'M SORRY YOU'RE CONFUSED.

COURTNEY BRIXTON, SHE KNOWS.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

COURTNEY?

YEAH, COURTNEY.

BRITTANY BRIXTON'S MOTHER.

SHE THREATENED YOU?

YEAH.

KIND OF.

YOU KNOW WHAT? SHE'S RIGHT.

I'M IN LOVE WITH MY HUSBAND, GRAYSON.

AS YOU SHOULD BE.

[♪]

[ELLIE]: OH, YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE NEW HOUSE, THEN.

[WENDY]: HOW MUCH?

400 "K".

2,000 SQUARE FEET. HUGE YARD. GREAT FOR KIDS.

E-MAIL ME THE LISTING--

-...AND I'LL SHOW IT TO GEORGE. -SURE THING.

SO, I FIGURED OUT

WHY MR. KENDALL WASN'T BITING ON MY BAIT.

OH! OH, DO TELL.

APPARENTLY, HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.

A GIRLFRIEND? HMM.

GO AHEAD, COURTNEY. GIVE US THE LECTURE.

YOU TOLD US SO.

SHE'S PROBABLY SOME HOT YOUNG 20-SOMETHING,

DYING TO GET A RING ON HER FINGER.

WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?

APPARENTLY, HE TOLD GRACIE

THAT HE HAS A LADY OF HIS OWN.

WELL, THAT'S ODD.

I COULD HAVE SWORN MRS. JENKINS SAID HE WAS SINGLE.

SHE SAID IT WITH SOME CERTAINTY, TOO.

WHAT? HE'S SUPPOSED TO CHECK

WITH THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

EVERY TIME HE WANTS TO START DATING?

[CHUCKLING]

[SIREN WAILING]

BRITTANY!

[♪]

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT HAPPENED, MR. KENDALL?

ALLERGIC REACTION, MRS. BRIXTON.

AN ALLERGIC REAC--

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

CALL MY HUSBAND!

GET IN! GET GOING! GET GOING! DRIVE!

[DOORS SHUTTING]

[MRS. JENKINS]: OKAY, EVERYBODY, GET BACK TO CLASS.

EXCITEMENT'S OVER.

[SIREN WAILING]

[♪]

I WILL SUGGEST TO MRS. JENKINS

THAT BRITTANY STAY HOME FOR A FEW DAYS,

AND THAT COURTNEY MINDS HER OWN BUSINESS...

WITH BRITTANY BEING SICK AND ALL.

UM, I GUESS.

BRITTANY, SHE'LL BE FINE.

SHE'LL BE BACK AT SCHOOL TOMORROW.

IT'S PROBABLY BEST, THOUGH, DON'T YOU THINK?

I NEVER REALLY WAS A FAN OF MISS COURTNEY BRIXTON.

TERRIBLE ABOUT BRITTANY, THOUGH.

[♪]

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

NOW, YOU KNOW I'M NOT THE SAPPY TYPE,

BUT I TRIED TO GET SOME ROMANTIC FILMS.

UM, NO 3-D, NO EXPLOSIONS.

SAY SOMETHING.

IT'S PERFECT.

[PHONE CHIMES]

WHAT'S UP?

NOTHING. I, UH...

JUST TURNING OFF MY PHONE.

I WANT SOME ALONE TIME WITH YOU.

[PETER]: OH, WOW.

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.

LITTLE GUY DOING HIS HOMEWORK?

YEAH, THEN BED.

I'M GONNA GO AND CHECK ON HIM IN A SEC.

ALRIGHT.

SHOWTIME.

[PHONE RINGS]

AW, GEEZ.

[GASPS]

[SIGHS]

YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO SNEAK OUT ON ME, ARE YOU?

I-I JUST THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING.

AH, STUPID PHONE.

I'M TURNING THIS THING OFF NOW.

[LOCK CLICKS]

[♪]

HONEY? YOU COMING?

WHAT'S FOR DINNER TONIGHT?

-PIZZA. -YEAH!

YOU KNOW WHAT, ASH?

WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO THE CAR?

-DADDY? -HEY! THERE HE IS.

DADDY!

[LAUGHS] YOU GUYS ALWAYS THIS LATE?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, MR. KENDALL HERE

WAS KIND ENOUGH TO CALL ME ABOUT THE SWITCH

TO PARENT-TEACHER MEETING.

UH, THE MEETING? I DIDN'T GET--

SOMEONE'S PHONE MUST HAVE BEEN OFF.

YOU MENTIONED THAT PETER WOULD MOST LIKELY BE OUT OF TOWN

FOR THE PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS,

SO I MADE SOME TIME TO MEET WITH HIM THIS MORNING.

WHY DON'T YOU GO ON INTO CLASS, BUDDY?

YOUR MOM AND I WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER.

I'LL TELL YA, I AM...

REALLY GLAD TO HEAR THAT HE'S DOING SO WELL.

HE CERTAINLY

IS REALLY FOND OF YOU, GRAYSON.

I HEAR YOUR NAME A LOT AT HOME.

IS THAT SO?

IT SURE IS.

[CHUCKLES]

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE CLASS.

[♪]

UH, PETER AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT LOVE.

YEAH, WELL, GRAYSON HERE IS QUITE A HISTORY BUFF.

HE WAS TELLING ME ALL ABOUT ANCIENT WARS,

AND LOVE AND PASSION WERE USUALLY AT THE CORE,

AND THEY WEAR MASKS.

YEAH, LILY DOESN'T REALLY LIKE THEM TOO MUCH.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, LIL?

NO.

NO, I DON'T.

WELL, I'D BETTER GET BACK TO CLASS.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO PRETEND THEY AREN'T THERE,

OR IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY, NOW, WOULD I?

IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU, MR. KENDALL.

YOU AS WELL, PETER.

LILY.

ALWAYS A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES.

SEE YA, BUDDY.

[♪]

I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

I HAVE REALLY LOVED HAVING YOU HOME

AND NOT TRAVELING.

I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE FINALLY RECONNECTED,

AND, UH, YEAH, I'M GONNA MISS YOU.

I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

I LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU, TOO.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[PHONE CHIMES]

HEY, BUD. HOW WAS-- HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY?

AWESOME.

WAS IT? WHAT, DID YOU DO ANYTHING FUN?

YEAH, MR. KENDALL,

HE TOLD US ABOUT THIS COOL FAIRY TALE.

ASH, WHO GAVE YOU THIS?

MR. KENDALL GAVE IT TO ME. COOL, HUH?

[GASPING]

WHAT'S WRONG, MOM?

[GASPS]

DID YOU TAKE THOSE FLOWERS OUT OF-- OUT OF THE TRASH?

NO.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

JUST STAY THERE, ASH, OKAY?

[KNOCKING]

[♪]

[EXHALES TENSELY] WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

LADIES NIGHT!

DON'T WORRY, I ALREADY CALLED YOUR MOM.

SHE'S ON HER WAY OVER TO WATCH ASH.

YOU AND ME,

WE'RE HITTING THE TOWN FOR A LADIES' NIGHT.

I WISH YOU HAD CALLED.

I JUST REALLY CAN'T.

I'M JUST--I JUST CAN'T HAVE ONE TONIGHT.

I'M NOT TAKING "NO" FOR AN ANSWER.

SO YOU GET THAT CUTE LITTLE TUSHY UPSTAIRS,

AND GET ALL DRESSED UP PRETTY, AND MEET ME DOWN HERE--

NO, I REALLY CAN'T. I-I JUST--

GO!

COME ON!

[RELUCTANT SIGH]

I JUST FEEL SO OVER-DRESSED. I MEAN, THE EARRINGS...

IT'S JUST TOO MUCH.

WOULD YOU RELAX? OKAY? YOU LOOK HOT.

BESIDES, PETER WOULD LOVE YOU.

PETER'S OUT OF TOWN.

RESERVATION UNDER "HELMS."

HELMS? WHAT IF I DIDN'T-- WHAT IF I DIDN'T COME?

AND LEAVE YOUR SINGLE GAL-PAL TO PERUSE THE CITY ALONE?

YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT TO ME.

PETER?

WELCOME TO DATE NIGHT, MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.

I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.

UH, DINNER, HOTEL...

MAYBE A LITTLE PRIVACY LATER.

DID HE SET YOU UP TO THIS?

AHH, KIND OF.

UH, I, UH...

I FIGURED IT WAS A PERFECT WAY TO DO A DOUBLE-DATE.

A DOUBLE DATE?

ELLIE.

LILY.

[ELLIE]: SO I'VE BEEN IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS

FOR A WHILE NOW,

I'VE BEEN KILLING IT FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS,

SO IT'S BEEN GOOD.

SO, WHERE DID YOU SAY YOU MOVED FROM?

JUST A LITTLE TOWN CLOSE BY.

IT'S NOT FAR.

SMALL-TOWN BOY?

WELL, I ALWAYS DID LIKE ME A SMALL-TOWN BOY.

IF YOU'D EXCUSE ME,

I NEED TO GO TO THE RESTROOM.

[♪]

[DOOR OPENS]

ELLIE? IS THAT YOU?

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

[♪]

[GASPS]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

GETTING A MOMENT ALONE WITH MY WOMAN.

YOUR WOMAN?

I'M PETER'S-- [GRUNTS] I'M PETER'S WIFE.

NO. NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

YOU'RE MY WIFE, ROSE.

ROSE? I AM LILY. JUST STOP, OKAY?

A LILY FOR MY ROSE... A LILY FOR MY ROSE.

MY ROSE... AND MY LILY.

YOU AND ME FOREVER.

REMEMBER?

OKAY, YOU'RE SCARING ME NOW. STOP.

HONEY?

YOU STILL IN HERE?

TELL ME HOW YOU WANT ME.

TELL ME. TELL ME HOW YOU WANT ME.

I WANT YOU.

HONEY?

TELL HIM TO GO AWAY.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, HONEY.

LISTEN.

LET'S-- LET'S DITCH THESE GUYS AND GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU HAVE HAD ME AT MY WITS' END ALL NIGHT.

I AM DYING TO GET THAT DRESS OFF.

I'LL, UM, JUST BE ANOTHER MINUTE, SWEETHEART.

I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A LEAK.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE SOON, OKAY?

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

I LOVE YOU.

I AM MARRIED. THERE IS NO "US."

YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS.

-SHH... -JUST STOP.

THERE IS ONLY US.

YOU'RE MY WIFE.

REMEMBER? YOU'RE MY FLOWER.

FOREVER AND ALWAYS.

YOU ARE NOT LISTENING!

THERE IS NO "US!"

NOW JUST STOP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!

[♪]

[MRS. JENKINS]: SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU WANT TO TRANSFER ASH FROM MR. KENDALL'S CLASS?

YES. FROM GRAYSON'S CLASS. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

"MR. KENDALL."

YES. MR. KENDALL. THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

NO, YOU SAID HIS FIRST NAME. GRAYSON.

AND YOU WANT TO DO THIS WHY?

I-I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT HIM MOVED,

AND I WANT HIM MOVED TODAY.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ THIS.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT?

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH MR. KENDALL

ABOUT THIS YET,

BUT COURTNEY BRIXTON SUBMITTED IT

ON BEHALF OF THE P.T.A.

SHE SAID SHE SAW YOU SEXUALLY HARASS HIM.

NO.

I DO LIKE YOU, LILY.

I DO.

BUT, AS OF THIS MOMENT,

YOU ARE NO LONGER A MEMBER OF THE P.T.A.,

NOR ARE YOU CHAIR OF IT.

GO HOME, MRS. HELMS.

[♪]

SO? DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH HIM?

DID YOU?

ARE YOU GONNA LET ME EXPLAIN,

OR ARE YOU GONNA STAND HERE AND BERATE ME?

I'M LISTENING.

THE P.T.A. MEETING, I LEFT MY COMPUTER...

HE CAME TO THE HOUSE AND DROPPED IT OFF.

OKAY.

I WAS MAD AT PETER,

AND... I DON'T KNOW.

WE DIDN'T HAVE SEX,

BUT, UM...

OKAY, SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE SEX?

I'M SORRY, LIL. I'M NOT FOLLOWING.

LOOK, I KNOW THAT YOU WANTED ME

TO SET HIM UP WITH YOU...

HE SENT ME A MESSAGE, WITH A KEY TO A MOTEL.

A MOTEL?

YEAH, A MOTEL.

LOOK, HE CAN'T TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER.

HE WEARS THESE WEIRD MASKS.

HE GAVE ONE TO ASH,

AND THE NECKLACE--

LIKE... IN THE RESTAURANT, IN THE BATHROOM,

HE CALLED ME "ROSE."

IN THE BATHROOM?

YES!

WEIRD MASKS, LILY? I MEAN, CALLING YOU "ROSE"?

I'M NOT LYING, ELLIE!

I NEED HELP.

YES, YOU DO NEED HELP! OKAY?

YOU NEED TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST OR SOMETHING.

PETER? PETER, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

[KNOCKING]

ELLIE?

[GASPS AND SLAMS THE DOOR]

HONEY!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

[KNOCKING]

PETER-- DON'T.

[CHUCKLES] HEY. COME ON IN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I CAME FOR YOU.

[PETER]: WELL, FOR ASH, REALLY?

RIGHT? GRAYSON HERE WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH

TO OFFER TO TUTOR ASH IN MATH.

THAT'S A NICE SHIRT.

I SWEAR, I HAVE A SHIRT LIKE THAT.

LEAVE. YOU NEED TO GET OUT.

-RIGHT NOW! -LISTEN--

I KNOW YOU HAD A TOUGH DAY,

BUT GRAYSON IS NOT THE ONE TO BLAME HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I SHOULD GO.

SEEMS LIKE RIGHT NOW MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST TIME.

I'M SORRY I UPSET YOU.

PETER.

COME ON! DON'T BE LIKE THAT, LILY.

WHAT DID HE TELL YOU?

THAT HE EXPLAINED THINGS TO MRS. JENKINS.

HE "EXPLAINED THINGS"?

COURTNEY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IT WAS ELLIE, NOT YOU,

AND THAT SHE WAS WRONG ACCUSING YOU.

AND TO BE HONEST, I THINK MRS. JENKINS

IS OVERSTEPPING HER PRINCIPAL DUTIES.

GRAYSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO DATE WHOEVER HE WANTS.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID?

YEAH!

HE'S A GOOD GUY.

-[SCREAMS]: NO! -WHAT?

I SAW HIM.

HE-- HE KEEPS TORMENTING ME.

-WHO? -HE KEEPS-- THE MASK--

-GRAYSON, HE KEEPS-- -LILY... LILY...

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I SAW HIM IN THE WINDOW. HE--

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

HE WAS WATCHING US.

JUST CALM DOWN. OKAY?

I'M GONNA CALL YOUR MOM, I'M GONNA GO GET ASH.

I... I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

OKAY, ALRIGHT, THAT'S FINE,

BUT FIRST,

I WANT YOU TO GO UPSTAIRS,

TAKE A SHOWER, CALM DOWN.

WHEN I GET HOME, WE'LL TALK.

-YEAH. -OKAY?

-OKAY. -OKAY, GO, BABE.

HELLO?

IS SOMEBODY HERE?

[♪]

-IT WAS THE LITTLE GIRL'S. -[GASPS]

OH... YOU SCARED ME.

HER DADDY MADE THEM FOR HER.

ODD THING TO GIVE A LITTLE GIRL, IF YOU ASK ME.

UH...

HER NAME WAS BETH.

SUCH A SWEET LITTLE GIRL.

WAS ONLY ABOUT FIVE WHEN IT HAPPENED.

SO SAD!

I-I'M SORRY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

CARBON-MONOXIDE DETECTORS.

OH! COME WITH ME.

[♪]

NONE OF THEM WORKED.

NOT THAT ONE...

NOW, THAT IS WHAT YOU GOT TO BE SURE YOU GET FIXED,

IF YOU WANT TO SELL IT.

I'M NOT FOLLOWING.

[SIGHS]

THEY DIED BECAUSE OF IT.

THE INDICATOR WASN'T LOUD ENOUGH.

CARBON-MONOXIDE POISONING.

THAT IS WHY NO ONE WANTS TO BUY IT.

I MEAN, WHO WANTS TO LIVE IN A HOUSE

WHERE A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER DIED?

OH... WELL, I HAD NO IDEA.

I MEAN, IT WASN'T ANYWHERE IN MY PAPERWORK.

HAH! WELL, I'M NOT SURPRISED.

WHAT, DID YOU KNOW THEM WELL?

OH, SURE.

BETH WAS JUST SUCH A SWEET LITTLE GIRL,

AND ROSE... WHAT A BEAUTY.

WELL, SHE WAS A GREAT MOM, JUST A LOVELY YOUNG LADY.

ROSE?

YEAH, LIKE THE FLOWER,

BUT HER FAVORITE FLOWER WAS THE LILY...

[♪]

AND DAVID WOULD BUY A BUNCH FOR HER EVERY WEEK.

IT WAS SWEET, REALLY.

DAVID WAS HER HUSBAND?

YEAH.

DAVID DIDN'T TAKE IT WELL, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.

I MEAN, HE WAS JUST SO IN LOVE WITH THEM,

THAT THEIR DEATHS JUST DEVASTATED HIM.

I MEAN, FRANKLY, HE KIND OF LOST IT ALTOGETHER,

TO BE HONEST.

ANYWAY, ONE DAY. HE JUST UP AND LEFT.

JUST LEFT EVERYTHING HERE.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE A LOOK THROUGH HERE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S GOOD ENERGY,

HAVING PERSONAL THINGS IN THE HOUSE.

WHO KNOWS?

YOU MAY FIND SOMETHING IN THERE USEFUL FOR YOU.

THIS IS-- THIS IS PROPERTY TAX.

WAS THIS THEIR SECOND HOME?

NOT SURE.

OH! I THINK THEY HAD A CABIN,

COME TO THINK OF IT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? DAVID? DO YOU KNOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK HE JUST DECIDED

IT WOULD BE EASIER TO START OVER SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THERE WERE SUSPICIONS HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

WITH THEIR DEATHS?

YEAH, THE DEATHS.

BUT I DIDN'T BUY IT ANYWAY, THERE WAS NO PROOF.

AND HE JUST LOVED THEM TOO MUCH TO DO ANYTHING SO EVIL.

WELL, GOOD LUCK SELLING IT.

YOU'RE THE FOURTH AGENT THEY'VE HAD! [LAUGHING]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ELLIE, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING.

ANYTHING. JUST... I WANT HIM TO STOP.

I MEAN, LOOK, YOU'VE GOTTA BELIEVE ME.

I'M LOSING MY MIND.

LOOK, I DO BELIEVE YOU. OKAY? I DO.

YOU'RE NOT GOING CRAZY.

LOOK, THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE HOUSE THAT I'M SELLING,

HIS NAME WAS DAVID GRAYSON KENDALL.

HE HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED BETH AND A WIFE NAMED ROSE.

ROSE?

HE...

HE'S MARRIED?

AND THEY DIED.

WHAT?

[SIGHS] I'M C--

WHAT'S GOING ON, ELLIE?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT YOU NEED TO GET HOME,

AND YOU'VE GOTTA KEEP ASH OUT OF SCHOOL TODAY,

AND YOU NEED TO TELL PETER EXACTLY WHAT I'VE JUST TOLD YOU.

YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY BE CAREFUL.

OKAY? COME HERE.

IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

[♪]

MOM, I'M BORED.

WE'VE BEEN WATCHING MOVIES ALL DAY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHY I COULDN'T GO TO SCHOOL TODAY.

I'M NOT SICK.

IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN, ASH.

WHERE'S DAD?

AT WORK. HOW ABOUT BEDTIME?

COME ON, MOM. I WANNA PLAY A GAME.

HOW ABOUT A TICKLE FIGHT?

I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.

WHY?

HONEY? HONEY, WHAT ARE YOU SORRY FOR?

I, UH...

I SLEPT WITH GRAYSON.

YOU WHAT?

I'M SORRY.

IT WAS A REALLY BIG MISTAKE.

I-- I NEEDED TO TELL SOMEONE.

HE'S-- HE'S GOING CRAZY, AND...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

LOOK, UM, LILY...

I LOVE YOU.

I KNOW I PUSHED YOU INTO THIS SOMEHOW, BUT...

THIS IS ON YOU.

STAY, PETER.

PETER, NO.

[DOCTOR]: LILY? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

PETER...

ASH... I DON'T KNOW-- [MUMBLING UNINTELLIGIBLY]

PETER, PETER, HE HAS HIM, PETER...

ASH! PETER! PETER, HE HAS ASH.

TRUE LOVE

TRANSCENDS

JUST LIKE MY ROSE AND MY BETH.

HER NAME IS LILY

AND?

AND WHAT?

[SIGHS]

MRS. JENKINS SAID

THAT HE'S TAKEN A LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

REALLY. I DON'T KNOW

HOW YOU GOT KNOCKED OUT LIKE THAT.

YOU SCARED ASH HALF TO DEATH.

LUCKILY, HE'S FINE.

HE'S GOING ON

A FIELD TRIP, AND HE'S EXCITED ABOUT IT.

-BUT-- -I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!

YOU'RE IMAGINING THINGS, LILY.

GRAYSON DIDN'T TAKE ASH.

HE HASN'T BEEN SNEAKING AROUND OUR HOUSE.

YOU'RE NOT BEING STALKED BY HIM.

THIS IS MORE LIKE AN AFFAIR GONE BAD.

I LOVE YOU, LILY,

BUT I THINK YOU NEED TO GO AND STAY WITH YOUR MOTHER,

OR SOMETHING.

I NEED TO GO FOR A WALK. GET SOME AIR.

HE VEERED OFF THE TRAIL. HE JUST... HE JUST DISAPPEARED.

WHO WAS CHAPERONING HIM?

THIS ISN'T GOING TO HELP ANYTHING, OKAY?

CALM DOWN.
