Picked you up a new toothbrush.

Burgundy and gold-- school colors.

Oh!

Your mother would be so proud, Kendra.

Yeah.

I am so proud.

Mm.

Thanks, Dad.

You gonna be okay without us?

Are you guys gonna be okay without me,

is the question?

[Dad] Your sister's over there with Sunny, in the car.

Hello, sir.

Hey.

The boys are having a party tonight.

I'd love to see you there.

I don't really think I can tonight.

Keep it.

We got something going on basically every weekend, so...

maybe I'll see you at the next one?

Girl, what are you thinking?

He is all that and a bag of chips.

If I were you, I would snatch him up.

Yeah, well, you're not qualified

to be giving out life advice, Sasha.

Give her to me. She's making a mess.

I got her.

She's not wrong.

[Kendra] Dad...

You're in college now, baby.

You put your head down for four years

so you could be valedictorian, get a scholarship, and you did.

Now... let yourself live a little.

You know, me and your mom met at a college party?

Uh-uh, yo, no. It's only the first weekend.

I still have to sort out my work-study,

get my life together,

and then I'll socialize.

"Sacrifice to succeed," right?

Isn't that what you always taught me?

Yeah, I did.

[chuckles]

I'll be fine, Daddy, all right?

Okay.

-Okay. -Have fun.

[♪]

Ladies, we have arrived.

High school was a desert land--Sinai.

No eligible prospects to be found.

[snap]

It wasn't that bad.

That's 'cause you snatched up

the only up-to-par brother around.

But I'm in the Promised Land now, girl,

and, ooh... look at him!

Don't stare, Terry.

Why not?

It's desperate.

Drop the handkerchief. Don't throw it at the boy.

Whoo! God is real.

Hey, what's going on, man?

Don't stare, Ashley.

It's embarrassing.

-I said it was desperate. -Well, it can be both.

[band begins to play "Lift Every Voice"]

[♪]

Ooh, wait. I think he's coming over here.

Hey, how are you ladies doing?

-Fine, thanks, and yourself? -Better now that you're here.

Uh, glad to hear that.

Uh, my name is Ben. What's your name?

-Ashley. -Teresa's my God-given name,

but my friends call me-- -No. I was-- I was--

talking about her.

[♪]

Are you for real

trying to holla during "Lift Every Voice"?

No.

I'm-I'm hollering on behalf of someone.

Oh, is that supposed to make it better?

Well, he's my Big. I'm a pledge.

I kind of have to do whatever he tells me to,

but-but anyway...

he wanna know if he can take you out to dinner?

Shh!

-Girl! -Relax!

I can't.

[Ben, chuckles] Good call.

Between me and you,

he's a bit echoey between the ears,

if you get what I mean.

[Kendra chuckles]

And you're running errands for him,

so what does that make you?

[friends chuckling, Ben joins]

[Terry snickers]

What'd you say your name was?

-Kendra! -I didn't.

Ooh.

[♪]

All right, uh, well...

nice to meet you, Kendra.

All right.

Girl, you got him sprung!

Please. He'll find another girl to feed.

Nah, we're talking about Brother Ben.

You've got the boy forgetting how to take a seat.

[all snickering]

[Kendra] Hmm.

[♪]

[clerk] Freshmen aren't allowed work-study.

No, please, I-I spoke to someone

and they said that they would make an exception

because my scholarship doesn't cover the full cost.

I'll call the Bursar's office.

Take a seat.

The class registration deadline was yesterday.

I'm--I'm sorry about that.

Oh, look who it is.

So, what they got you in here for?

Just getting my work-study sorted.

That's dope.

Uh, I'm trying to get my schedule sorted, too.

It's kinda hard to choose when you got a buffet of learning.

[chuckles, scoffs lightly]

What are you majoring in?

Photography.

That makes a lot of sense.

Have you always known that's what you wanted to do?

Uh, pretty much.

My mom, she bought me this when I was in middle school,

and that was sort of it.

Wow, like, it's kinda hard to make a living

as a photographer, no?

I bet she regrets buying you that now.

My mom passed.

-I'm-I'm so sorry. -But I'm sure

she wouldn't regret it.

My mom taught me to chase after passion,

not security.

I mean, that's how she lived her life,

and my dad is proud of me

and I'm pretty sure she would be, too.

-Yeah, I'm sure she's-- -And besides--

photography is powerful.

It teaches people where to look, and what's worth looking at.

I mean, that might not be "lucrative,"

but it is valuable.

You're right! You're right. You're absolutely right.

I shouldn't have said that. I was completely out of line.

It's my fault.

Sometimes, I catch my mom's opinions

coming out of my mouth,

which is crazy, 'cause...

I don't even agree with her the majority of the time,

so, I guess that parental brainwashing thing

has been a success.

I should probably call her and tell her.

She'll be-- She'll be thrilled.

No, but seriously... I'm sorry.

Can I be honest?

I'm a bit jealous of you.

Jealous of what?

The clarity

and the conviction you have

about what you want to do,

and who you want to be...

and how supportive your parent is of that.

I still don't know what I'm doing.

You haven't picked a major?

My parents want me to do pre-law,

since they're both lawyers,

but they'd tolerate pre-med, too.

That's what my brother studied.

Well, what do you want?

To do something that matters...

and the space to figure out what that is.

Oh.

Kendra?

[exhales deeply]

Go over to the Bursar's right now.

-They'll get you sorted. -Thank you.

Hey...

take the space.

[♪]

[chatter and bustle]

What do you see?

A family.

Okay.

What else?

Motherly love.

Yes. What else?

The blissful ignorance of youth?

[quietly] Hmm.

Photography is the art of sight.

The quality of your photos

depends on the quality of your vision,

your ability to see...

and not only to see,

but to be curious about what's outside of you

as well as what's inside of you.

[door thuds]

Sorry for my tardiness.

[♪]

Take a seat.

Welcome to Intro to Photography.

It's a real pleasure of mine

to see a new generation of artists

embarking on such a worthwhile pursuit,

and I want everyone to note

that I did not call you "students."

I called you artists,

and in this class,

I will treat and assess you as such.

Are you following me?

Pfft. I was here first.

Your first assignment is to bring in

a photo that you've taken

of something that moves you.

Those are the only rules.

Easy enough?

I'm just playing. Obviously, I'm following you.

But wait, not-- not in, like, a creepy, weird way. Not--

Yeah, well, I-- yeah, I think that's up for me to decide.

-Yeah, it is up to-- -[knocks desk]

Am I interrupting?

No.

No. No, no.

I'm-I'm so sorry.

[snickers]

[♪]

[tapping]

You have to come, Kendra. They never invite freshmen.

Hey, what do you think?

Don't let nobody who doesn't love you see you in that.

You guys, I want to go so bad, I just...

I have a ton of reading still,

and I have to knock this photography assignment

out of the park!

Hey... okay.

I'll meet up with y'all afterwards.

You said that last time, and you were a no-show.

Well, I already made a bad first impression

on Professor Lovett,

and I have to ace this assignment.

You know, if you just wanted

to read and take pictures all the time,

you could've stayed home and got a library card.

Keep it up...

and you're gonna miss out on the whole college experience.

Hmm?

Oh, cute. Okay.

Okay, we gotta go.

The student government meeting's starting.

Bye.

[bell rings]

Kendra?

Do you have a minute?

Uh... sure.

You're very talented, Kendra.

Thanks.

But you didn't complete the assignment.

-But I-I thought we-- -The assignment

was to take a photograph of something that moves you.

Though this is interesting, well-lit, well-framed...

do lampposts really "move" you, Kendra?

Uh...

Look, you have an eye, but you're on the sidelines.

The thing that transforms an image into art

is point of view.

What's yours?

Um, I... I'm not sure.

Well, it's your job to find out.

Your art can only be as alive as you are.

I need you to get in the game, okay?

Bye-bye.

I'm heading out.

Oh, okay. Good night.

Good night.

Girl, I don't think you can get that any cleaner.

You still obsessing over what your professor said?

No.

Maybe.

Girl, let it go!

Come on, you'll do better on the next one.

Not if I don't get a point of view.

She told me I need to "get in the game."

Well, speaking of-- let's go.

Girl, you think I'm cleaning these tables

out of the goodness of my heart?

I'm working.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I just thought you were trying

to be an artist with a point of view

that came from lived experience,

but I must've gotten my whiny Black girls mixed up.

My bad.

Wait.

Mm?

[chuckles]

I need to change.

I got you.

And where are we going?

Nope, I'm not telling ya...

but just wait until you see our ride.

Come on.

-[giggles] -Okay.

[Kendra] Oh, my goodness.

Oh... [chuckles awkwardly]

Hey.

Uh... whose car did you steal?

It was a graduation gift.

I bet this bumped me up a few attraction points

in your eyes, huh?

You would need a private jet to do that.

[laughs]

All right, um...

I'm gonna get the door for you.

[♪]

Oh... now I get why people call cars sexy.

[♪]

[Kendra] You didn't tell me the party was so far off campus.

[Ben] It'll be worth it. Trust me.

And hello!

It's about time.

You could've told me you were running on CP time.

Oh, whatever. Cup is empty.

Ah! Okay!

Can't you just ask your dad or something?

Uh, he's got enough on his plate,

supporting my sister and Sunny.

Wow.

What-- What is this?

Just your run-of-the-mill hazing.

I'm coming!

Can I see you later?

I'm studying with Reg and--

[testily] Again?

Oh, okay. I'm sorry.

And then I have to work.

But can't you call off?

I can't, I called off last week when you wanted to hang.

But I got... ♪ a surprise! ♪

A surprise?

Yes, a good one.

5:00 p.m.? See you at 5:00? Pick ya up at 5:00?

Sure.

[Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" plays]

No! No, not at all.

Um... it's-- it's cool.

So...

what is this called?

It's Vivaldi. "Four Seasons."

Maybe this can be our song?

"Our song" has to have lyrics.

-Who says? -I do.

Where are we going?

-[seatbelt clicks] -Get out.

What?

I'm gonna teach you how to drive.

What? No!

I don't-- I don't even have my learner's permit.

Look, I don't-- I don't even know how to steer.

I don't know how to stop.

I don't know the first thing about a gas or this br--

[door thuds]

[laughs]

[gear engages]

Uh... you don't want to give it some gas?

Keep your hands on the steering wheel--

ten and two.

Just ignore him. Ignore him.

He's gonna drive his car, and you drive yours.

I'm doing it!

You're-- You're doing it!

You're doing it. Keep going. Keep going.

...So, the higher the F-stop value,

the smaller the iris gets-- see?

And the less light that gets in?

Yes!

Good job. Exactly.

Whoo! Who knew there would be this much math in photography?

I might have to drop this class.

You're a good teacher, though.

You're not so bad yourself.

No, no, no. Ketchup is disgusting.

What? It's an acquired taste.

You'll get used to it.

Yeah, I'm good.

Your peoples coming to Homecoming this year?

No, my dad has to work.

Yours?

Yeah, my family organizes a fundraiser gala every year,

so they have to be around for it,

which forces me to be around for it, too.

Oh, come on, I'm sure it's not that bad.

Um, everybody's just so...

uppity and-and proper, you know?

And all they want to know is-is, "What are you up to?"

Which is really their way of just asking,

"are you falling in line with your family's expectations,

or not?"

Okay, that actually does sound pretty bad.

But, I mean, just because that's how they operate,

doesn't mean you have to play along.

Mm... yeah.

Would you want to come with me?

To the gala?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

Oh! Ah!

I forgot you had ketchup on your mouth. Ugh.

What?

All right, no. Stop.

Get used to it.

Stop. That's nasty, for real.

Here, just finish this.

Give my fries.

Yeah, you was real cute until you liked ketchup.

[laughs]

[bell rings]

[footsteps]

Well done.

Now, this is alive.

I can see you in this.

Thanks.

Whatever you're doing...

keep it up.

[exhales wearily]

What was that for?

For being my muse.

All right.

Y-You look like you're going to church.

[sighs]

Help me, T!

Okay, hold on.

Oh, yeah.

Chill.

They'll love you.

See? You look much better, okay?

[chuckles]

Listen. Don't be intimidated.

You might be broke as hell

but you've got what money can't buy--

class.

[♪]

Thank you.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

[overlapping chatter, indistinct]

[Ben's Dad] There he is.

Oh, Benjamin!

There you are.

Oh-- okay.

Son. Good to see you.

What are you up to?

Uh, you know. Same ol', same ol', Pops.

All right.

Yeah, uh, this is Kendra.

Oh, I have to go and see-- this one little thing,

but you all go sit.

I'll be right over.

Okay.

Hey, how're you doing, big head?

Oh. Man, good to see you.

Um, Kendra, this is my big brother, Calvin.

Calvin, this is Kendra, my girlfriend.

Oh, "girlfriend"?

[Ben] Yeah.

Nice to meet you, Kendra.

It's nice to meet you.

[Calvin] You do know you're way too good for him, right?

Come on, man!

Dad, where's the food?

When are you not hungry, son?

[Calvin] Father, I am always hungry.

All right, have a seat. Please.

Thank you.

Look who I found.

Nice to see you, Constance.

[Connie] Lovely to see you, Mr. Baldwin.

[Mr. Baldwin] How are your parents?

[Connie] Busy as ever with the firm.

You know they love a challenge-- runs in the family.

[Mr. Baldwin] Yes, they do. Yes, they do.

Hi, Ben.

Oh, sit, Constance.

Are you sure? I don't want to intrude.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

[♪]

[Mr. Baldwin] So, son... how're classes going?

Did you end up taking that business class?

Uh, yeah, I actually--

Well, of course you did.

Business classes may seem irrelevant,

but contract law will be

the bulk of your first couple years in law school.

If he goes to law school.

[Mrs. Baldwin] Of course he will.

When Mommy wants something for her baby,

Mommy gets it.

So, Kendra.

Tell me. How did you happen upon our Benjamin?

It's such a big campus.

Well, we actually crossed paths a few different times,

but we ended up in the same photography class.

Photography class?

It's just an elective.

Not for me. It's my major.

Oh. Well, how brave.

[Connie snickers]

So...

how're you liking Hammon, Kendra?

Uh, it's been a lot.

[chuckles] You know, balancing work and classes,

but I'm actually really liking it.

[Ben] She's killing it.

What do your parents do, Kendra?

My mom passed when I was 11 and my dad's in sanitation.

What a shame.

Oh, pardon me.

Thank you, miss.

[chuckling] What a darling.

I see you learned from your father's example.

Um, excuse me.

I'm going to run to the restroom.

Are you--

No, I just need to freshen up.

You can't talk to her like that.

Like what?

Like she's the help.

I don't know what you mean.

Sit... down...

now.

[♪♪]

[♪]

Hey.

What...

What-- how...

How did you get in here?

Terry-- Terry, let me in.

Now, come on, get dressed. We're going out.

Out? No.

I have my midterm tomorrow.

I told you

I was gonna make it up to you about what happened yesterday.

Ben, you couldn't make this up during normal business hours?

I promise, I'm gonna get you back in time

so you can ace your midterm in your normal Kendra-fashion.

Ben, I don't know--

I promise.

Please? Please?

[smooch]

Okay, fine.

-Hmm? -I said, "Fine."

All right.

I'll see you in the car.

[♪]

Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday.

Especially my mom.

It wasn't your fault.

I bet you regret ditching work now.

Hell, I'd rather be cleaning tables

instead of enduring my mother's

"Wicked Witch of the West" impression.

It wasn't great...

but it mainly just makes me feel sad for you.

For me?

Yeah. I can't imagine having parents

who aren't at all curious about who I am.

That must be a lonely feeling.

You make it less lonely.

Okay, so... this "surprise."

Are you gonna tell me what it is?

[laughs]

You remember that secret annual step-off thing

that you said you would sell a kidney to see?

Yeah, the one that's, like, basically impossible

to get an invite to?

Yeah, that one.

I thought you might need this.

What? You're playin'!

Oh, shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

What's wrong?

I'm missing my History of Photography midterm!

Oh! It's worth 25% of my grade,

and if I fail this, my GPA will be shot.

Any professor

that schedules a midterm the day after Homecoming is crazy!

I gotta go. I'm sorry. I gotta go.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Please?

[sighs heavily]

-Hey, Kendra. -Hey.

You've been M.I.A. in the dining hall.

Oh! Yeah-- I-I'm so sorry.

I-I just-- I had something pop up.

Well, I'm sorry,

but I had to let the Bursar's know

you've missed consecutive shifts.

There are a lot of students who need these hours,

and if you're not serious about it,

they're gonna give it to someone who is.

No. No, no, no. I-I promise you, I'm so serious.

It won't happen again. I promise.

All right.

[♪]

[drops pencil]

[sighs wearily]

[door opens]

[footsteps]

Hey...

Hey.

So, how did it go?

Were you able to take the exam?

No, I was too late,

but Professor Collins said he'd let me make it up

at a later date.

Yo, that's great.

Way to wield your womanly powers and--

Stop!

I really need to work.

Agh! You're always working.

No, you just never are.

-Ouch. -Do you know

I almost lost my job today

because you kept dragging me along

on your little adventures?

Yeah, but you-- you had a say.

-No one forced you. -All right, look.

I know you may not have any stakes in your life,

but I do!

I don't have anyone to bail me out.

I can't just name-drop and the waters part for me,

and everything's good.

When I mess up, there are consequences.

What consequences?

You got a make-up exam.

From the looks of it, you still got your job.

So, there's nothing wrong.

This is!

This is wrong.

What... What does that mean?

Kendra!

What does that even mean?

You promised you would have me back in time for my exam.

Yeah, but I didn't expect us to, you know...

Yeah, okay, well,

I can't afford to be running around on campus with you,

without a care in the world.

Look, I know you may not understand

what it's like to be passionate about something,

to be all-in,

but I came to Hammon for a reason,

and I am not about to let you jeopardize that for me.

Kendra, I would never mess that up for you!

And yo,

can you put the damn trash down when we're talking?

No. I learned from my father's example.

[sighs]

We're just different.

We're different.

We want different things, we're on different paths.

W-What are you saying?

It's over.

[voice cracks] That-- That's what you want?

You're wrong.

You're wrong about me not knowing

what it's like to be all-in about anything.

I was all-in on this.

[♪♪]

And if you haven't already,

now is the time to consider your focus

for your end-of-semester projects.

I know it's only November,

but the end of term will be here before you know it,

and you need to have your subject approved

once you're back from Thanksgiving break.

All right?

See you after Thanksgiving.

Kendra?

[chuckles awkwardly]

Would you be interested in being my TA next semester?

[astonished chuckle] Wait.

Aren't-- Aren't TAs usually upperclassmen?

They are.

Should I ask one of them instead?

No! No. No, no. I would love to.

All right, then. Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

[♪♪]

I just can't believe he moved on so quick.

Girl, you know he didn't move on.

-It's just for show! -Okay, but like, still,

I just can't--

Were you two talking about me?

-Yes. -No.

Sorry.

We saw Ben and Connie cozied up in the student center.

Cool. We're not together anymore.

You know, he's so obviously just trying to make you jealous.

-Truly. This screams "rebound." -Yeah.

Look, guys, I really appreciate it,

but I'm fine.

Really.

-Okay. Good. -Whatever you say.

I gotta work.

[♪]

Oh, man.

Uh...

Hey.

Hey.

Hello. I'm Connie.

We've met.

Have we?

Card?

-Huh? - Card.

Oh! Oh, right. Card.

Uh...

[reader beeps]

Benjamin. Are you coming?

Hey. One second.

W-Well, don't linger.

I told your mom we'd arrive early to help her

-pick up the turkey. -Right.

Yeah, okay.

Hey, I'm sorry about that.

About what? I can get you.

[beep]

Hi.

Hey, give me just one-- one second. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for that to be so awkward.

You decide to meet your girlfriend

at a dining hall that you know I work at,

at the time I work,

but okay, how could you possibly have known

that would have been awkward?

She's not my girlfriend.

-[footsteps racing in] -Sorry. Sorry.

Kendra, it's your dad. He's in the hospital.

Your sister left a message and said you've gotta get home.

What? Yeah, o-okay.

Uh, I have to tell my supervisor.

Yeah, I got you.

[muttering] I gotta get to the bus station.

Hey, uh, you know, I can take you. I can drive you.

No, I got it.

Hey, the bus makes stops, Kendra, I can take you there.

You need to be there quick!

-[sighing] Okay, okay. -Come on, let's go.

Hey, I'm gonna explain later, okay?

Wait. What--?

[♪♪]

It's gonna be all right.

[♪♪]

Oh, my god. What's going on?

I don't know.

What happened? Oh, my god.

Are you okay?

Oh.

[♪♪]

[♪]

[♪]

Mm.

[coughs and sputters]

You are not leaving school, Kendra.

I could take the rest of the semester off.

-Go back in the spring. -It was just a little scare!

Dad.

Your heart stopped beating.

It's nothing a little rest and a big diet won't fix.

[chuckles]

Now, tell me about

this boy who likes you so much

he spent his Thanksgiving in a hospital.

[chuckling]

You two an item?

No, not anymore.

It was all getting to be a bit of a distraction.

Hmm.

Well, sometimes, what we call a distraction

ends up being the whole point.

But regardless...

anyone who looks after my girl

is pretty good in my book.

I'll be back for Christmas break, okay?

[♪]

Thanks again, for everything.

It was fun.

Well, I-I mean...

you-you get what I mean.

Um, tell your parents and Connie

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to take you away.

Hey.

Um, I wanted you to take me away.

Ben...

-please. -Hey, can we talk?

Tomorrow, maybe? Lunch?

I don't know.

Monday? Dinner?

Please?

Okay. Dinner.

[smooch]

[♪♪]

Yo, Kendra! Kendra. Hey. Hey.

Oh, hey.

Uh...

Ben told me about your dad.

How's he doing?

Better, yeah. Thanks.

I'm glad to hear that,

and if you need to talk or anything,

like, I know we're mainly study partners,

but, you know... I care about you, too.

I-I really appreciate that.

You still up to study for the final together?

Yes. Definitely down. Uh... after class work?

Yeah, cool. That works.

All right, I'll see you there.

Hammon is a wonderful institution,

Look.

I've got a good friend who's on staff

to talk about what we're going through,

or the protection that we deserve.

I felt so many things.

Guilty.

Afraid.

Alone.

who were strong enough to keep going,

soft enough to admit "I am not okay..."

is hope.

Are you okay?

wanted to apologize

for how awful I was to you the last time we spoke.

You mean basically calling me a mama's boy?

Yeah, that.

And you know, even earlier,

when I blamed you for missing work and that exam.

It wasn't fair.

I'm my own person,

and it's up to me to exercise moderation.

I guess I just didn't really realize

how all-or-nothing I am about everything.

Well, it wasn't completely your fault.

I know I wasn't the best influence,

encouraging you to dip out of work.

I shouldn't have tempted you like that.

I'm-I'm sorry for, you know,

getting all psycho on you and Connie.

Um, I'm sure she's great.

and-and I was hoping

I could kind of make you a little jealous.

So... did it work?

Oh... hey.

Drive?

I can now. I have this.

What? Look at you!

Wait.

So, what are we doing, exactly?

We're getting in the car.

Come on.

What do you want to be doing?

What I want to be doing

hasn't changed since the day I met you.

You're the jumpy one.

What?

I am not jumpy.

Okay, I'm a little jumpy.

[sighs heavily]

I just hate being out of control.

When my mom died, I became the woman of the house.

My dad, he loved us so much,

but he was just so busy working, you know,

to put food on the table,

that he didn't really have time to actually raise us.

Sasha, she was the free one, the happy-go-lucky one.

That role was taken, so I decided, you know,

I would be the dependable, responsible one,

but...

now...

I don't know.

I guess

I'm learning that...

no matter how much you try to make the right call,

do the right thing...

...control is an illusion.

Living is risky.

Well, to me...

you're worth the risk.

You're worth the risk, too.

Come on.

This guy...

That's why I didn't show up.

Who did it?

I'm not gonna tell you who it was.

It really doesn't even matter.

No, of course it does matter! What do you mean, it--?

Ben, stop. Stop!

Okay, but if you tell me who it is,

my peoples are lawyers.

-We could fix this like this. -No!

I've been thinking about all of this.

It's his word against my word.

There's no evidence.

I didn't do a rape kit.

It...

the fact that we're even thinking

about all of this going public,

I can't do that right now.

I understand...

I understand.

Look, I'm... I'm really sorry this happened to you.

[♪]

These are stunning, Kendra.

[chuckles] Thank you.

[quietly] Wow.

What do you think about showing them

at the Spring Showcase?

That would be amazing.

Then it's done.

Now, have you given any more thought to Maddox?

Didn't I miss the deadline for transfers?

If you can get your application in by the end of February,

you'll still be considered.

That's in two weeks.

He deserved it!

You don't mean that.

No, I do, and don't tell me what I mean.

[sternly] Watch your tone.

This girl has been a terrible influence on you.

You're not yourself lately.

[blurting] How could you possibly know?

How could you know who I am?

You have never asked me a single question

about what I think,

or-or what I want,

or what I'm interested in.

You know? Like, do you know how awful it feels

for your parents to have zero curiosity about you?

I'm not you!

And yeah, I may not know who I am

or what I want to be yet,

but Kendra's the first person in my life

who's ever thought to ask.

Hey, it's not your fault.

Yeah, but it is. Your mom is right.

If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even

-be in this situation. -No, come on, she's not right.

Look.

I care about you...

and that's all that matters.

[♪]

[weakly] Bye, Ma.

What do you want?

I'm not leaving until you make this right.

What are you talking about?

Your parents are pressing charges against Ben.

I didn't want to. It's my mom.

I told her not to, but she wouldn't listen.

Well, you'll just have to make her listen then,

huh, Reg?

Look, I'm not gonna lie to you.

My mom's pissed I'm in here.

So, she's not gonna back down, but I'll try.

Trying isn't good enough, Reg.

I need you to tell her it was your fault,

and that she can't press charges.

All right, this is how this is gonna work.

You either guarantee me

those charges are gonna be dropped,

or I'll tell everyone you raped me.

Everyone.

It's your word against mine.

Okay.

Well, you know, I'll see you in court...

and we'll find out who's more believable.

[♪]

Wait! Wait, wait!

[Kendra exhales quietly]

Fine.

Okay.

"Okay" what?

I'll tell my mom it was my fault.

She'll drop the charges.

You're welcome, by the way.

You...

Ow! Ow, stop! Please, stop!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

What's up?

Well...

you're looking at a free man.

Reg's parents actually dropped the charges.

[chuckles]

Oh, that's great.

Why does this seem like old news to you?

Hmm. Mm.

Kendra?

What'd you do?

I just paid Reg a little visit at the hospital.

You what?

Yeah, I told him if he didn't drop his charges,

I was gonna press my own.

Look, I know you want to protect me,

but I want to protect you, too, so...

just let me.

Okay.

I've seen Sunny grow up without a father.

Marrying her makes sense.

It's the responsible thing to do.

I can't marry her.

I love you, Kendra, and...

Look, I'm so sorry that this is happening.

Ben, this is not just "happening."

These are choices that you made.

But you broke--

you broke up with me!

Are you seriously sitting here, blaming me,

for you impregnating another woman?

No. No. No, no.

That's not what I meant.

Look, I'm an idiot.

Okay? I'm an idiot.

I've always known it was you.

I've always wanted you and I'm just...

pissed at myself

that I allowed myself to be distracted

by someone who was clearly not it.

I just want to do the right thing.

I know.

I know you do.

Look, um...

I'm gonna be there for my kid.

That's good.

But I also want to keep being there for you, too.

I want to-- I want to be with you, Kendra.

Me too.

Yeah?

I feel like I can do anything with you by my side.

I applied to Maddox...

...and I got in.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

What? W...

What?

Professor Lovett, she encouraged me to transfer.

Yeah, but why didn't you tell me you was applying?

I-I didn't even think I was gonna get in.

So, what? Are you gonna do it? Are you transferring?

I don't know!

It's the best program in the country,

and with everything that happened with, you know...

...it would be a relief not to have to be

at the scene of the crime for another three years.

So, you're just running away?

I'm not running away! I'm running towards something.

[sadly] Right.

I should get back.

So, are we over?

[sighs]

I don't know.

[♪]

So, what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

I've just been doubting

everything he ever said about us.

I mean, I was already on the fence

about transferring, but...

I mean, if he could just throw away

everything we have and...

I hear you, Ken.

And not to make excuses for him--

you're right.

But you know,

I didn't plan on getting pregnant as a teenager.

I was a kid who thought, "What could possibly go wrong?"

I'm sure Ben meant what he said.

Life just happens sometimes.

What would you do if you were me?

[playfully] Wow!

Are you asking me for advice?

No, for real.

I would choose myself.

You're the most amazing person I know, Kendra,

and I know what you have with Ben

-...is-- -Special.

Yes, special,

but you've always chosen the path of most resistance

your entire life.

If transferring feels good...

do that.

Choose your art. Choose yourself.

Don't clip your wings, Kendra.

Use them.

[♪♪]

Hey...

Hey.

Yeah.

[exhaling]

So, I've decided that I'm not marrying her...

and I don't care if my parents cut me off.

I'm gonna figure it out.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

I'm proud of you, too,

and I-I know I should have said that way sooner.

Mm.

So, when do you leave for Chicago?

Uh, Professor Lovett got me a summer job

working at a gallery out there,

so I'll spend a week at home,

and then I'm heading out.

Wow, that's...

[deep breath]

...that's-- that's really soon.

Yeah.

Look, we could... we can make this work.

The baby is not due for another few months.

I could come out there and visit?

How?

You'll be broke.

Your baby needs you.

Yeah.

You're my best friend.

You know that, right?

You're mine, too...

but don't tell Terry that.

[chuckling]

If you knew...

...what you know now...

...would you do it all over again?

Hmm.

Honestly?

I don't know.

It really hurts.

[sighing] I know.

I'm so sorry.

You know...

...I was never gonna be able to do any of this without you.

Saying no to my parents

and going my own way?

You've changed me, Ken.

[deep, shaky breath]

Thank you.

Yeah.

So, where do we go from here?

Nowhere.

Let's not go anywhere.

Let's just be here. Okay?

Okay. Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Wait.

What?

[laughs] What are you...?

Oh, come on.

We don't have any pictures together.

[exhales deeply] Let's see.

All right.

This thing is on its last leg, but...

[chuckles]

...whatever.

Let's see if this works.

[♪♪]

[snap]

Oh, you-you took it.

There we go.

[♪]

[♪♪]

[laughing]

Aw, I can't believe

this is our last time we're hanging out

before you abandon us for Chicago.

-I know. -Oh.

How do you feel about the move, and about all this Ben stuff?

What are you doing?

Looking for your battery so I can turn you off.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just can't believe he ended up being

another low-down brother like the rest of 'em.

I mean, I had high hopes for him.

He had us convinced that it was real.

It was real!

It-- It is real.

[sighs]

Loving someone isn't just about butterflies and rainbows.

It's about wanting the best for them.

Ben and I, we want the best for each other.

Wow. That's deep.

Whatever!

-[laughing] -It was.

Yeah.

[Terry] Ooh...

don't look at me like that.

Like what?

You saved my life.

You know that?

I'm gonna write to you so much

you're gonna think you're somebody's husband,

off fighting in a war.

[both laughing]

I love you.

And I love you.

[both squealing]

[muffled chuckles]

[sighs]

[knocking]

Knock-knock?

Hey.

-I got you something. -Oh!

I-I got you something.

Really?

Oh. All right, you first.

Me?

Okay.

[gasps]

[stunned] What?

This is too much.

No, no.

This is my final purchase on my credit card

before my mom cancels it.

-[Kendra laughs] -She owes you one, Ken.

Oh. Well, thanks. Shoulda got two.

All right, my turn.

What's this?

[rustling]

[♪]

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[car horn honks twice]

[laughing]

That is definitely my sister.

I'll walk with you.

[♪]

I'd do it all over.
