WOMAN: Previously on "Guidance"...

- I got this crush.

- How is that dangerous? - He’s a teacher.

- Mr. Ridley isn’t the one that needs to be fired.

You are.

And by the time I’m done, Harvard won’t want you.

- Rumor or truemor,

you’re seeing a new man,

somebody older.

- No one’s untouchable.

- The whole thing is a charade. - I get it.

I’m frustrated too, but we have to act normal.

- Normal is not really my thing.

- There he is,

in all his glory.

- The guy has balls to even show up here tonight.

- Don’t you guys realize that we’re dealing

with a complete narcissist?

What? Takes one to know one.

- Okay. Split up.

- Tyler’s right.

It feels fake.

- If you’re not front row center for all of the action,

Principal Decost is gonna know something is off.

You have to just turn on the TMZ.

- Never thought I’d hear you say that.

- Me either.

- All right. Your turn.

Smile.

JOHN: Alana, Kevin,

tonight is the night you two bury the hatchet, okay?

- There’s no ill will? - No, no, no. I mean it.

Look, you two are important to me.

You’re important to this school,

so come on, make nice.

- We’re all good, John. We’re all good.

- Okay? Well, then I’m good, too.

Oh, hey.

At some point,

I wanna see you two

out on this dance floor.

- I’m supposed to be at check-in.

- Don’t let me stop you.

- I won’t.

- Selfies.

- Hey. No date tonight, Brianna?

- Look, I’ve been waiting my whole life for this night

and I’m not letting you or Tyler

or anyone ruin my fun.

This is my jam. Thank you.

- Tyler, Tyler, take a deep breath, okay?

- Just [...] breathe.

I got to get out of here.

Ozo, give me that thing.

- Not here, not now. The plan.

- You haven’t seen what he’s doing to her in there.

- It doesn’t matter, dude. That’s not the plan.

- He’s a making a fool out of her.

- You have to calm down, okay?

Okay? - Give me the gun.

Give me the damn gun.

[upbeat music]

- I’m worried that Tyler’s gonna do something

really, really stupid.

- Me, too.

[phone ringing]

- Dr. Bartlett?

I’m sorry. I can’t really hear you over this music.

Let me find somewhere quieter.

Okay. I think that’s a little bit better.

OZO: Dude, calm down. It doesn’t matter.

I need to talk to you about what we’re gonna do.

Calm down, okay?

Dude, listen.

- I just wanted to say how inspiring it was

to hear about your time at Harvard.

DR. BARTLETT: Yes, about that.

When we spoke,

you didn’t mention that you were at the center

of a teacher grading investigation.

- It’s not what it seems. It--

DR. BARTLETT: I saw the video.

That was quite an accusation you made

in a very public way.

Unfortunately,

given the circumstances,

I cannot, in good conscience,

recommend you.

Actually, I encourage you

to retract your application entirely.

Your character will be evaluated

and it will come up short.

- Yes. Thank you, Dr. Bartlett.

That’s wise advice.

[phone beeps]

- So I’ll wait for him out in the back lot.

- Just like we planned.

Look, I promise you.

We will scare him so bad

he will never even look at her again,

all right?

Hey, hey.

But we’re not gonna kill him, all right?

I’m not going to jail over that piece of shit.

- All right. All right.

I got to get back in there.

Like you said, we can’t tip anyone off.

Tell her about Polly.

I found out I wasn’t crazy.

You’re actually a criminal.

- That’s different. - Is it?

I don’t think so.

- What do you want me to say, huh?

- I want you to admit

that you cut my grade because you hate me,

because I saw you for who you really were

when no one else could

and you knew it.

- I will say whatever you want me to say

when you put the gun down.

- I’m keeping the gun

and I want you to get up on that stage

and take the microphone

and tell everyone what you’ve done

to Liddy,

to Brianna,

and to Polly.

- Who’s Polly?

- Oh, you haven’t told Brianna

about your nasty habit?

- Don’t escalate the situation.

- She was 16 years old

when you ran her out of school

and it wasn’t over grades, was it?

That wasn’t a rhetorical question.

- No.

- So, you were sleeping with her, too?

- The girl had a crush-- - A crush?

Oh, really?

Well now, she has a daughter.

- What? - A four-year-old daughter.

And I don’t know, let me think.

She was 16 four years ago,

dropped out of school because of you,

it doesn’t take a valedictorian to do that math.

I think even a cheerleader can add that up.

- Oh, my God. You are a liar.

- Brie, no. [gunshot]

- Oh. - Oh.
