[overlapping chatter] ‐ Why?

‐ Hi. Eric Walker?

‐ Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I'm Eric.

‐ Ms. Wilson is your English teacher, right?

‐ Yeah.

‐ So you and Ms. Wilson are friends?

‐ Um...I mean,

she's like a really good teacher.

She helped me get my‐‐ my SAT scores up.

‐ Have you ever spent any time with her alone?

Like, uh, after school or... off school grounds?

‐ I'm sorry. I don't understand.

Is she okay?

‐ Eric, have you ever met her outside of school?

‐ Um...

I mean, yeah,

she, uh, she tutors me.

So she... met me at the place I work

a few times, restaurant.

But I‐‐

I don't really know that much about her.

‐ You guys do anything else besides tutoring?

Hang out at her place

or drive around?

‐ [small laugh]

I mean, she's‐‐she's dropped me off at home

a couple of times.

‐ Eric, has Ms. Wilson ever been inappropriate with you?

‐ No!

‐ Yeah, it sounds weird when she says it that way.

Have you ever fooled around or anything like that?

‐ Are you saying that‐‐ ‐ I‐I totally get it.

She's an attractive lady. I‐I can see

how maybe things could get a little confusing.

‐ What's confusing? No‐‐

Uh, nothing's confusing.

JANICE: The school was notified this morning.

A report's been filed.

We know the whole story.

We know you guys went away together this weekend.

SANDY: [whispering] Oh, my God.

Sweetheart... RICK: The most important thing

right now is for you to tell the truth,

because it's gonna be easier on Claire

and everyone else if we know the real story.

Lying isn't gonna help her. Or you.

[edgy music]

‐ She's having an affair.

Claire.

She's, um...

‐ [softly] Fuck, man. ‐ Yeah.

‐ Listen.

You know, Lisa and I, we went through a rough patch too,

and, um, we just saw somebody‐‐

‐ It's with her...student.

It's with some, uh,

kid that...

she's been tutoring.

‐ All right, who told you that?

‐ She did.

Yeah.

NATE: Does anyone else know?

‐ Um...

Yes.

She told...another teacher.

NATE: All right.

If he doesn't confirm it and it was consensual,

then‐‐then they most likely won't press charges, you know?

What do I do, Nate? [small laugh]

[phone tune plays]

‐ Hi.

‐ I'm‐‐[sniffs] I need to see you.

The police came to my house today.

They‐‐

I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do.

I just‐‐I‐‐they said that they knew everything.

Can we meet?

Please, Claire, please. Can we meet?

I just‐‐I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do. [Claire sniffles]

Please.

Claire. Are you there?

‐ [tearfully] Yes, I'm here.

‐ Can you say something?

‐ I'm sorry. I have to go.

VICTORIA: I can't believe it's happened.

Well , I already had Bill call the D. A.

Okay, Peggy. Okay, thanks.

All right, bye.

Do you know what's going on with Eric?

‐ I mean, yeah, I guess he's, uh...

he's been acting like too cool for us

'cause he started dating some college girl and...

‐ No, he's not dating a college girl, okay?

He is having a sexual relationship

with a teacher at school.

Ms. Wilson. ‐ [laughs]

What are you talking about? That doesn't‐‐

that doesn't make any sense. He‐‐

[phone buzzes]

‐ Okay, you know what? We'll get back to this.

Danielle, hi.

I know. It's crazy!

MATT: Hey.

[Claire sniffling]

Claire.

I wanna save this.

‐ How can you even look at me?

‐ Because I love you.

CLAIRE: I messed everything up.

MATT: Yeah, you fucked up.

You fucked up...real bad.

And I'm so fucking mad at you.

But this is ten years, Claire.

And I do not wanna lose you.

Okay?

I saw Nate and I told him.

‐ [quietly] Oh, Jesus.

‐ We're gonna get a lawyer.

And we're gonna go to therapy.

We can get past this.

LOGAN: Everyone's freaking out about this, man.

This is insane. My mom fucking knows.

Dude, you gotta fucking tell us everything.

Jesus!

You're gonna be like a legend,

like a fucking god, dude.

‐ Don't say that, man.

Fucking cops came to my house, all right, they‐‐

In front of my mom.

ERIC: I don't know what's gonna happen to her.

‐ That's not your problem.

She's an adult. She's like 30, right?

It's on her. You didn't do anything wrong.

ERIC: She's under investigation

because of me.

I mean...she won't talk to me.

She won't pick up the phone.

‐ Well, I mean, she‐‐ she's probably busy

with her husband, like, fuck, dude!

She's got a fucking husband!

LOGAN: Eric, look... ‐ Fuck!

‐ I get it, all right?

I do, like‐‐like you probably really, really like her.

But she's been having sex with her high school student.

It's like...

she's‐‐she's got issues, man.

‐ You guys don't get it.

LOGAN: Eric, come on, we're j‐‐

‐ Dude, it's true.

‐ Holy shit.

‐ So I'm gonna take a few days off work.

I already called in.

[utensils scraping]

‐ I need some air.

I'm gonna go for a walk around the block or something.

I'll be back.
