This is why we don't wanna hang out with you.

- What the hell is going on? - No.

Look, I know that you're mad at me, but we don't know anybody here.

Don't you think we should at least have each other?

I don't want to share everything with you.

Hey, twin 1. I'm Maya.

And you know you have something that your sister will never have.

What we have is just for us.

So, you're coming to the party tomorrow?

- I wasn't invited. - Well, I'm inviting you now.

Was she talking about the Rancid party?

Yeah. You wanna go?

- Sure. - Hi.

We'll watch the movie later.

Your parents are going to be here soon.

So be quick.

Hang on!

- What's up? - You know, in some countries

they use loud music in a small room as a form of torture.

I bet nagging mothers would be just as effective.

- Phoebe, your dad's are here. - Thanks, I'll be right down.

Okay.

- Bye, Tegan. - See ya.

Hey!

We still need to ask mom if we can go to that party.

Okay.

Don't read this until you're alone, okay?

Okay.

I miss you already.

Me too.

I hate it when you do that.

- What? Walk down the stairs? - No.

You study me like I'm a test case or something.

I'm not one of your clients.

No, if you were my clients you would actually talk to me.

- Hey. Did you ask about the party? - Not yet.

What party?

It's just this thing that, um, my friend Maya invited us to.

- Your friend? - Yeah, she's really cool,

and I thought this would be a good chance to spend time with her.

Uh-huh.

It's so hard to meet people at school.

We know you don't like us going to parties at houses of people you don't know,

- so we don't have to go. - Uh-hmm.

Maybe we can just get to know people in between classes

- or at lunch or something. - Sure. Totally. Yeah. Okay.

- Will there be parents there? - Yes. Of course.

No drugs, no alcohol,

you both have to call to check in at 10:00

- and I'm picking you up at midnight. - No problem.

- And you're going to June's today. - Mom...

Those are the terms.

Nice work.

Yeah, okay. Stop.

Um, are you sure you actually practice on a piano?

Can I try playing something else?

Like what?

All right. I'll make you a deal.

You learn this, then we can talk about that, okay?

- Deal. - All right.

Let's get back to work.

Okay. That's enough for today.

You did make a full recovery but you were better.

Thanks.

Your turn.

Wish me luck. I'll need it.

I hope you practice a little bit more than your sister did.

See you at midnight.

Whoa!

Yep, we're twins. Same face.

Do you have the same bra size?

Yeah, and it's twice your IQ.

Finally! I've been sitting here like an asshole waiting for you.

Sorry, I didn't know if I should be fashionably late or whatever.

This is Calgary, nothing here is fashionable.

Speak for yourself.

Tonight I'm wearing a one of a kind Value Village cardigan, unwashed.

I'm sure it looks even better on you

than it did on the old man who probably died in it.

- I wouldn't go that far. - Screw you, both.

Are you going to hog your new friends or introduce me?

Tegan, Sara, this is Lily.

- Hey. - Hi.

Her brother's throwing the party.

Some asshole started a rumor that Coolio was gonna be here.

- I heard Rancid. - God, people are so stupid.

You're not stupid.

Gross. Let's go make out.

Come on.

Hey! Bathroom girl!

Sara.

Sure.

Well, impeccable timing.

We're about to go on a little adventure. You wanna come?

Where are we going?

Nowhere but everywhere.

What is it?

It doesn't matter what it is. It's what it does.

What does it do?

If I told you, it would ruin the surprise.

But you should know,

once we take this, we're bonded for life.

- Hey. - Hey.

Do you know Sara?

No.

Sara this is Ali. Ali this is Sara.

I have to pee.

I think you're in my drama class.

- Yeah. - Hey. I found you.

Took you long enough.

Come on.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah.

- Do you hear that? - What?

- Did you put this song on? - Uh, yeah.

Oh, my God. I was just thinking about this song today.

Did you, like, read my mind or something?

Are you wasted?

No.

- She's tripping. - What? What the hell, Sara?

Do you remember Patrick told us about his friend who took that shit

- and had a psychotic break? - Do I look like I'm having

- a psychotic break to you? - Yeah, kinda!

And you know we have to check in with Mom in like 10 minutes.

I'm totally fine.

Hi, Mom...

Yeah, it's really fun.

No, we're not drinking.

Other people are, but we're not.

Hey, stop.

Don't touch that.

No, that's just Sara.

Yeah, hang on.

Be normal.

Hi, Mom! What's up?

Yeah, it's great.

Not a drop.

Okay. See you soon.

I did great.

Wait. She's going to call back.

Hello?

Hi, Mom.

Still here.

Okay. Bye.

You're so smart.

You're so high,

and now my whole night is going to be about taking care of you

instead of hanging out with people who actually want me around.

You think I don't want to be around you?

I know you don't.

Like last night when you ditched me for Phoebe.

- Hey. - Hey. What?

I'm sorry.

I miss you, Teegy.

I miss you too.

I'm hot. Is it hot?

No. It's freezing.

Hey.

Um, I was thinking,

do you want to hang out some time, just us?

Yeah, totally.

She really likes you.

I was watching you guys, and it was like I could feel it...

Why don't you stop talking?

See you Monday.

Bye.

- Why would you say that? - What?

Just forget it.

Hey, where's Mom?

She had a work thing.

...the impact of change on all the parts needs to be considered.

In social work practice when a child is removed from a home,

it's not unusual to find that another child

will take on the role of the child who was removed,

and then your problems begin again.

Hey, wanna get drinks with us?

Oh, uh, I... I have to get to work.

Oh, okay. Uh, next time.

Yeah, great.

- Okay. Bye. - Bye.

So, I thought not having kids would keep the romance alive,

but now I'm starting to realize that having kids is a smoke screen

so people don't have to admit to themselves that their libidos are gone.

- And I mean, I guess we can experiment... - Loni, this is... this is

- here and there... Yeah. - Uh, Loni, this is riveting,

but, um, can you just pause for a second?

- I'm a bit of a roll here so... - Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah.

Great. Thanks.

- How long do you think it'll take? - Loni!

Okay. Sorry!

What's your thesis about again?

Child sexual abuse with a focus on incest.

Wow. You're fun.

I mean, they used to cry on the first day of school

when they'd find out they were in separate classes.

Now they can't even be in the same room.

- What happened? - Well, Sara's completely retreated.

She won't talk to me about anything,

and apparently all she wants to do is hang out with her best friend, Phoebe,

and freezing Tegan out,

which is making Tegan feel like she's all alone.

Being a teenager is a nightmare.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Maybe being in the suburbs is getting to them.

They're away from their friends, all the places they like to go.

- It's just so boring... - Are the suburbs getting to the girls

or you?

How are you and Patrick?

Mm, that's a bigger conversation.

Uh, what else are we doing?

I mean nothing is wrong, but nothing's really right either.

- You know, we barely talk. - Hmm.

We don't want to do the same things.

The... when we have the most fun is when we're in a room full of people

and we don't have to interact.

Marriage is hard.

We're not married.

Oh, yeah. You're such a badass.

No. It's not him. You know, he's great.

He is. He's wonderful.

I've just... I've always had to cater to someone, you know.

Mm-hmm.

I became a mom when I was 22,

and I've just gotten to this point where I don't want anyone to need

anything from me anymore, you know?

And you're going into social work?

- Can I tell you a secret? - Yeah.

Sometimes when I'm driving home, I get to our street and...

all I want to do is keep driving and never look back.

Is that terrible?

I've heard worse.

Crisis line.

Yeah, she's here.

Hold on.

- Amy? - Yeah.

- Hey, Amy. What's going on? - They're back.

I started hearing them scratching at the walls a few days ago.

I covered all the vents to try to keep them out,

but now I'm so cold I can't feel anything.

- I don't know what to do. - Okay.

It sounds like you're dealing with a lot. But I think I have a plan.

- You do? - Yep. First off,

- you have to take your meds, Amy. - I can't.

If I do, I won't be able to hear if they get in...

No Amy. That's what they want you to think.

But if you can block them out long enough, you're gonna get so strong

they're not gonna be able to touch you.

That's their secret. The stronger you are,

- the weaker they get. - Yeah.

- Okay. - Okay.

And, uh, they hate the heat.

So, uncover the vents and turn the heat back on, okay?

There's... there's no way they're gonna come in then.

I didn't know that. Good idea.

So, what's first?

I take my medicine?

That's a perfect place to start.

Hello?

Hey. How did you play?

Like a man half my age.

- So you lost? - Badly.

Some of the guys are going over to BP's a little later.

- Wanna go? - Yeah, I don't really feel like

sitting around and watching other people get drunk.

Uh, my parents are having people over, we could do that.

I thought you didn't wanna watch other people get drunk.

Touché.

Um, well, what about we get to see the new Batman?

Or we could see To Wong Foo.

Okay. We don't have to do anything.

I'm pretty tired anyway so...

You know what?

I have an idea.

You're going to love it.

Can't wait.

Okay guys. You know the drill.

No drugs. If you drink, stay away from the hard stuff

and make sure I don't find out about it

- or I'll ground you for life. - For life.

- And call to check in at 10... - Ten. I know.

One second later and I'm gonna wear my most bedazzled outfit

- and go in there and get you. - Okay.

- Understand? - Uh-hmm.

- Hello? Got it. All right. - Yes, Mom, yes.

See you at midnight.

Midnight.

- I went to Silver Inn this time. - Oh.

It's really good.

Uh-hmm.

a couple months ago like for the new place?

- No. - Oh.

Um, I thought I told you about that.

No, I don't think... I don't remember.

Oh, I lost a permit.

It was pissing me off and I was looking around for it.

I was looking and I was looking. And I went all downstairs,

I thought I left it in my truck.

And I was knocking around here trying to look for that thing for months.

Anyway tonight, as I was cleaning up to get ready for this,

I found it under a stack of papers.

- Oh, that's great. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - I mean, I still did get...

The thing that pissed me off... I still had to get a new one

and I had to go through all the rigmarole of getting the new one.

But I... it does give me closure.

But that, uh, that one... That mystery's now solved.

Uh, do we have any of that, um, wine your mom brought over?

- Yeah, do you want wine? - Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I should've thought of that.

And that's where the heated garage comes in.

- Mm. - You will never touch

a ice-cold steering wheel again.

But I will have to shovel the snow in front of the garage.

- True. - Which I'm not a fan of.

But no ice-cold steering wheel.

I do hate that.

And you're gonna have an office that's all yours with a door...

An actual door that'll shut so that the rest of us can't bother you

while you're working on your school work.

Hopefully I won't be working on my thesis forever.

I mean... I just mean, you know, you'll have a place that's all yours.

I can do anything... I can... I can put a deadbolt on it.

What about the bedroom?

The bedroom?

Um, yeah it's gonna be... Yep, can be whatever you wanted to be.

Mm. It's the girls.

- Please let it ring. - Just one sec. One sec.

Hello?

Hi. How's the party?

Have you been drinking?

Is anyone drinking?

Is someone in the room with you?

Yeah, put her on.

- I'm sorry. - That's okay.

Hi.

Yeah, I... it sounds like you're having fun at the party.

Have you had any alcohol?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Yeah, well, I will, um... I'll see you at midnight. Okay?

Bye.

- Sara's drunk. - Really? How do you know?

She's being nice.

Do a quick callback.

Hello, Tegan? Yeah, I just wanted to check to see if you were there.

Okay. I'll see you soon. Bye.

Why do you do that? They could be calling from anywhere.

I know, but the callback puts them on edge and I like that.

Are you kidding me?

They're turning the tables on me. This is interesting.

Hello?

What?

All right just tell me and I will...

Hey! Hey!

- What happened? - Uh...

- What? - Do you wanna, uh...

What is it?

Amy barricaded herself in the house and started a fire.

- Oh, my God... - The firefighters got her out

- but she, uh... - Where is she? Can I talk to her?

She didn't make it.

I'm so sorry, Simone.

Uh, I told her that, uh...

- the heat would keep her safe. - No. No. I know.

- No. If I hadn't done that, would she... - No, don't do that, okay?

We do everything we can to help people,

but the truth is sometimes it's not enough.

Mom?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Why are you awake?

Are you drunk?

No, I was just getting water and I saw you out here.

So, you're really not drunk?

So, you're really okay?

I'll tell you the truth if you tell me the truth.

I'm not drunk.

I'm not okay.

Greenday's playing at the Saddledome.

And you wanna skip school and buy tickets?

- Yes. - Are you high right now?

You know I don't like when you do that stuff.

I think your mom just came in.

What? She saw us?
