Blueberry muffin for Makayla and a blueberry muffin for Randall.

Hey! That guy took my muffin.

If only there was an identical one sitting right next to it.

Oh, my gosh, there is.

Sorry, no. My muffin had way more blueberries.

This one...

This one sucks.

Makayla, can we please for once not turn this into big drama?

Fine.

Excuse me.

I cannot believe we are banned from the coffee shop

for three weeks.

Yeah, I may have slightly overreacted.

You think?

That guy cried, like...a lot.

[ Chuckles ]

I forgot you're still getting to know Makayla.

See, whenever she feels slightly wronged,

she gets violently petty

and then drags everyone down with her.

Oh, please. Name one other time that happened.

She got me a bunch of detentions.

She got me banned from Reddit.

She got my nose bashed in by Ms. Nadine, the crossing guard.

How?

the guard was snapping at her to hurry it up,

but she was just practicing for her role

in a local production of "West Side Story."

Whatever! I regret nothing.

Not even me getting hit in the face

with her tiny plastic stop sign?

I had to go to the nurse's office.

So, I'm sure you guys have seen

all the Day of the Dead decorations around school.

You mean Día de los Muertos?

Yeah, I speak fluent Japanese and Español.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

I'm not great when you speak it fast.

Okay, so, Day of the Dead is about celebrating

our loved ones that have passed,

but it could also kind of remind us to live life with no regrets,

'cause, you know, mortality and...

I tried to bring it back. It didn't work.

Our debate topic for today is regret.

Is it useful or a waste of energy?

Terrell, pro -- go.

Uh, pro -- Regret can be beneficial

because it teaches us not to make the same mistake twice.

T-That's how I know

not to go back to a white barbershop again.

My hairline never completely recovered.

Con -- The emotional toll of regret can be devastating.

I know that from watching my mom

every time she gets back on eHarmony.

Uh, Luke.

Lo siento, Ali.

Please stop that.

Fair. I'd love to participate in this one, but I can't.

See, I'm kind of crushing it at life.

Uh-oh. This guy has no regrets.

What about that sad little mustache

you were trying to grow?

I told you they noticed.

Okay, first of all, it was a goatee.

The bottom part just never really sprouted.

Or the middle.

Or the top.

Okay.

Luke, there has to be something you wish you could do.

Even something small.

I-I guess I wish I could get the new University Blue Jordan 1s.

They drop tomorrow.

Yeah, those are sick. I had no idea you were a sneakerhead.

Oh, I'm not. I'm a moneyhead.

That's someone who loves money.

That's self-explanatory.

Man, I could flip a few pairs of those and make bank,

but it's so hard to get them.

I guess I'll take an "R" for that one.

"R" is for regret.

Again, self-explanatory.

You know, Luke, sometimes it's the things we don't do

that end up defining us.

Well, what I'm saying is that it doesn't matter

how hard or complicated it is to get those shoes.

You should just do it, 'cause there's no regret if you try.

You got to seize the day, you know?

YOLO.

You regret saying "YOLO"?

So much.

What do you guys think of my Day of the Dead altar?

Do you hate your ancestors?

No, I love my family.

That's awful.

You know, Filipinos celebrate All Souls' Day.

Look, for me, art's just fun.

Mr. Escalante, you're an amazing teacher --

Cool, uh, thank you for sharing that with me.

I will build on it.

Cool.

You're trying to pretend you're not dying inside?

Yeah, that one stung.

Won't be able to sleep tonight.

But honestly, do I really do that?

Well, it's like, remember yesterday,

when I said I really liked my vanilla latte,

and then you went on for 20 minutes

about how coffee was discovered by sheep herder--

Actually, it's goat herder,

and what's amazing about it is that coffee, in many ways,
