-Ooh, are these new flyers? -Yeah, what do you think?

"Schedule your free tutoring session from

Girl Boss Bethany today." Love it!

I can help you pass these out.

Great - if I can book a few study sessions, I can write

it down as community service on my resume.

You know, Bethany, I've been really struggling

with chemistry lately.

You struggle with every subject.

But...in the words of some smart lady...

when you go low... I stay fly.

You mean, in the words of Michelle Obama,

"When they go low, we go high?"

Yeah, that's it.

So...

what do you say?

I'll tutor you as long as you take it seriously.

Hmm...serious is my middle name.

Okay, I'll come by this evening.

Yes! Yes!

Why are smiling like we just found out we're

going back to virtual classes?

I got a date with Bethany later.

A date, like...a real date?

Yeah...we'll probably discuss our future.

Maybe even pick out our wedding colors.

Oh, and Dylan, I only have an hour, so no small talk

during our study session.

[Charlie laughing]

Sounds like productive wedding planning! [laughs]

[music]

* From the Chi, down in ATL Family living well *

* Uncle Myles ain't understand my style *

* Had to show and tell *

* Auntie Yas said I'm good at math *

* I should never fail *

* And Cousin Becca, she a stepper *

* Charlie rolling with the kid *

* Yeah, ah (WHO?) You gonna love Young Dylan! *

* Yeah, ah (WHO?) Who gonna love young Dylan? *

* Yeah, ah (WHO?) Who gonna love young Dylan? *

* Yeah, ah (WHO?) Who gonna love young Dylan? *

* Yeah, ah (WHO?) Who gonna love young Dylan? *

* Yeah, ah (WHO?) You gonna love Young Dylan! *

Oh, hey, baby. Good, you're both here.

I'm gonna need your help.

Wow...is that an artifact?

That's Miss Ernestine, the fax machine.

-The what?! -The who?

I've been trying to fax paperwork over to the church

and Miss Ernestine died.

Can y'all fix her?

I don't even know what I'm looking at.

I've got this.

Charlie, fax machines were created in the early 1800s

after people got tired of sending ravens

to deliver their messages.

Cool...so we could probably sell this to a museum

and make a lot of money!

Facts! Ah, you get it...

facts...like, fax, the spellings just different.

Nobody's selling Miss Ernestine.

She's not that darn old.

The fax machine was designed to send and receive documents

electronically to another machine

through the telephone line.

Sounds ancient.

-Why not just use a scanner? -A what?

Our printer has a scanner. All it takes is one click.

What about Miss Ernestine?

She deserves to be fixed.

She deserves a proper burial, Grandma.

Oh.

If we're being honest here, it's time you learned

about modern technology.

It will make your life so much easier.

Just imagine the life where it only takes

-one click to happiness. -[tongue click]

All right, I'll bite.

But just remember...

you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Right.

So we're going to begin our first lessons by teaching you

modern-day phrases.

[music]

Yeah, I know you smell that, girl.

This is grown man smell right here.

[click, click]

Check it out.

I know you're feeling me and my smell...

a mix of cedar wood, vanilla spice, on this caramel.

My skin, silky smooth... voice of an angel...

if you break my heart, that would be so painful.

Your hair smells like fresh strawberries in the summer.

If we can't be together, that would be a bummer.

[smooch]

[clap]

Hm-hmm, hmm.

So, uh, you and the teddy bear are going out now?

Uhm...

No.

I was just rehearsing for something.

Yeah, sure you were.

[sniffing] Smells good in here.

Uhm...you wouldn't happen to know where my cologne is,

would you?

Uhhh...

Boy, if you don't give me my cologne!

Sorry, I'm having company over and I need my smell

to match my face card.

Yeah, well, that face card is gonna get declined if you ever

use my cologne again without asking.

-Who's coming over here anyway? -Hey, Mr. Wilson.

Mm-hmm. Ah, it makes sense now.

Bethany came over to tutor me in chemistry.

-[Myles] Mm-hmm. -So if you wouldn't mind...

Right, yep, yep, yep, I remember when I was y'all's age.

Had a little study buddy.

Her name was Deedra Thompson.

Uncle Myles, do you mind?!

[giggles] Yeah, got it.

So, where's your chemistry book?

[Dylan]Oh, uhm, uhm...

uhh...

I think I left it at school.

That's okay! You and Booder can share.

Booder?

What up, buddy?

What are you doing here?

I booked a lot of study sessions

so I had to double up on some of them.

Great.

[music]

Welcome to the New Age, Grandma!

Since new technology can be a bit overwhelming for old...

Choose your words wisely, little boy.

How about I kick things off?

This is a smartphone.

What's so smart about it? My flip phone ain't dumb.

A smartphone has 4K camera quality and video.

There's a flashlight, event planner,

and you can even download games.

What is this thing right here, a very big frisbee?

No. This...

is a robot vacuum cleaner.

You just put it on the floor

and it picks up all the dirt off the floor.

Hey, have y'all seen my Lexii?

[Lexii] I'm right here Mrs. Wilson.

How can I help you today?

Who just said that?

It's Lexii. She's our virtual assistant.

Watch this...

Lexii, tell me I'm extremely handsome.

[silence]

Don't be shy, Lexii. The floor is yours.

I think you just got curved by a robot.

That's enough.

She's my virtual assistant and only listens to my commands.

Lexii, tell me the forecast for tomorrow.

[Lexii] Eighty-five degrees, sunny.

You should wear a dress with a light cardigan.

Okay, girl, you're the best.

[giggles]

Poor thing...it's probably her only friend.

[Mrs. Wilson] We heard that!

I'm setting up your smart tablet now.

What type of apps would you like?

The only 'app' I know is appetizers.

So unless you're talking about shrimp cocktail...

Grandma, an app is a software program you download.

It makes your life...

easier.

Ooh, I found a dating app for people 50 and up.

A dating app? I'm not doing that at my age.

That's nonsense.

Are you getting it?

-Yes ma'am. -Good.

[music]

Correct again, Booder.

Okay, this one's really hard. Ready?

What is the max amount of Hydrogen bonds

-a water molecule can form? -Four.

Okay...why do you need a tutor, again?

I just want to make sure I'm prepared for my exam tomorrow.

You're going to pass with flying colors.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

I need to take this.

What are you doing, Booder? You're making me look bad.

What do you mean? Just jump in

and answer some of the questions.

How can I when you're beating me to it?

She probably thinks I'm a lost cause.

Oooh...I see what's going on!

I'll fall back and take a backseat.

As a matter of fact, I'll be in the trunk.

Bro, really? [sighs]

Sorry, guys. A few more questions

and then I have to go home.

-I'm ready. -Great.

Biomolecules contain what as their key element?

Uhm...

Pass. Next question.

It's okay if you don't know it. Just let me know you don't

and we can talk through it.

Nope. I know it.

Okay.

So, what is it?

Uh, is anyone thirsty?

How about we pick this back up when I have another opening?

Sounds good. Can't wait...

...to study on my own.

[music]

[laughter]

Baby!

Will you do me a favor?

Can you make me a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, please?

Cause this, uhm...ooh, this cereal ain't hittin'.

That's because it expired a year ago.

-Honey... -Hmm?

This is my off day.

That means I'm off from being everyone's butler.

So, can you make your own sandwich?

No problem, baby.

Ahh, and these pancakes are all mine.

Good morning.

I just stayed up all night, thanks to my brand new

sophisticated coffee maker.

And played with all of my new smart toys.

Grandma, you got the new Drone-Pro-Seven?!

Yeah, Grandma, that thing is, like, top tier.

Wanna see it work?

Oh, uh, mmm, no, no, I think we're good.

-Mom, I think we're-- -Whoa...

[drone whistling]

-Whoa! -Whoa.

Wa...wa...watch out for the plant.

Come to mama.

Oh, oh, oh...

Come to mama. Come on.

Oh!

[drone whistling]

[splash] [screams]

Sorry, Yasmine.

Glad I got that on camera.

Okay, okay, uh, kids?

[stuttering] Uh, go, go and please get your backpacks

so we can get ready for school, please, thank you.

And Mom, get all your gadgets together now.

I guess I'll go take my second shower for the day.

Mom...

Mom!

Mom!

I cannot believe that you just did that to my wife.

I can't believe it either.

I guess it was just beginner's luck.

-[chuckles] -Wow.

-Good morning, family. -Good morning, Dylan.

Mom?

Your grandson just said good morning.

Woo! You are fine.

Are you ignoring me for a dating app?

Yes, sir.

You know what...whatever... fine...I don't care.

Whatever.

[Viola laughing] [Myles deep sighs]

I'm not calling him Dad, though!

Dang, Grandma, you got a lot of apps on here.

Hmm, what's this?

Fake Wiz?

"Become a wiz in any subject.

"Connect this app to your smart watch

"and it feeds you the answers.

Just choose any subject."

Hmm.

Ooh...Gregory.

Hmm, you are too cute. [giggles]

Oh, but where's your teeth?

Grandma, can I take your tablet and smart watch to school today?

Yeah, yeah.

Ohhh...that's why you don't smile in your pictures.

Next.

[music]

Booder, ask me a question... anything.

Have you ever accidentally licked your ear wax? Because I--

Booder! I meant ask me

a Chemistry-related question.

Oh, okay.

What is a covalent bond?

Okay.

What is a covalent bond?

Uhm, a bond formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons.

That's right!

Wow, did you stay up late studying?

I sure did.

I'm practically a chemistry wiz now.

Eh, wiz is a reach, but I still support you, bro.

Yo, Bethany, guess what?

Yo' boy stayed up all night. And let's just say, I got this

whole atom-molecule-bonding stuff on lock.

Ain't that right, Booder?

I didn't want to believe it, but I'd cheat off of him.

Yeah.

That's great news, Dylan.

So, atoms in a molecule are held together by what bond?

Hmm...

Atoms in a molecule are held together by what bond?

Hmm, good question. Uh...

-Chemical bonds! -That's right!

-Wow, you really stepped-- -There you are!

Girl, you are going to kill me,

but I can't help you with your presentation today.

-Why not? It's at lunch. -I know, but

Mr. Thomas is giving extra credit to those who help in

the school garden today. Sorry, girl!

Shoot, what am I gonna do now?

Oh, I can help you. I'm the real deal now.

After all that studying I did last night,

how hard can it be?

Okay, you'll assist me with passing electricity through

water to break the covalent bonds that will hold the

oxygen and hydrogen atoms together.

Meet me in Mrs. Bailey's class in an hour.

[music]

Ooh...

It feels good to be off.

A day of self-care and relaxation all while making

MY version of lasagna without anyone criticizing it.

What is that awful smell?

Spoke too soon.

Back again for another visit?

Yes.

I downloaded this new app that tracks your moves

and saw you were home.

Didn't know I was going to be greeted by Princess Fiona.

Wait...

you've been tracking my moves?

[Viola] Yeah.

I noticed that you forgot to purchase minced garlic

for this dry lasagna.

So, I ordered some on my grocery app.

It should be here in...

15 minutes.

How did you know I was making lasagna?

[sly giggle]

Chile, that's the only thing you can make.

And you don't make it good.

[music] [sly giggle]

Are you ready?

To throw up? Yes.

I mean, yes, I'm ready to do this.

Great. I'm proud of you for studying all night.

I'm sure it was rough.

Oh, yeah. I didn't get any sleep.

And just for helping me last minute,

I'll treat you to a smoothie after school.

Just me and you at the smoothie shop?

Yep. You're up to speed on all covalent bond things, right?

Sure am!

[whispering] I need to know everything about

covalent bonds right now.

Okay, class.

Today we will begin our presentations

on covalent bonding.

We're gonna begin with Bethany. So, Bethany, you can begin.

Hi, everyone. Today I'll be showing you how

covalent bonds hold molecules together--

because the atoms inside of the molecules share electrons.

Dylan here will be my assistant.

An observer...

like all of you.

Dylan, can you clip the positive end of the battery

and one end of the other alligator clip to the

negative end of the battery?

Sure!

"We'll be back after 15 ads." Ugh!!!!

[whispering] You got this, Dylan.

[heavy exhale]

[whispering] I just wish I knew which one was positive.

Uh, safety first, guys.

Eenie,

meanie,

minie,

mo.

[pop]

I-I got it, guys!

[pop] [screams]

Hold on!

I got it! I got it!

[scream] [several pops]

[fire alarm]

Uh...that was just a warm-up, everyone.

Any questions?

[music]

Bethany, can we talk?

What is there to talk about?

You completely ruined my presentation.

Uhm, but maybe we could start over.

Ask the teacher for a do-over.

Not possible.

I had one shot and I blew it.

It's my fault for thinking you knew what you were doing.

I gotta go.

[music]

-Myles? -Mm-hmm?

Your mother signed me up for a hundred virtual cooking classes.

She's outta control!

Yeah...

When I texted her earlier,

she responded by sending me memes.

Very funny, but not helpful.

-I may have taught her that. -That's it...

I blame you two for showing her all this new technology.

Yeah, I gotta say, I kinda liked it when Mom

was living like a dinosaur.

I agree.

Grandma used to buy me ice cream every time I made an A

on my test, but today she just sent me a thumbs-up emoji.

If you ask me, that's thumbs-down behavior.

We gotta have an intervention.

Like...now.

Ha! Gotcha!

[mumbling to game] Look out!

Look out! Look out!

Ooh...you sneakin' up on me. I see ya.

Oh, you want some too. Bring it on!

-Bring it on! -Mom.

-Mom. -Bring it on!

Mom!

Hey, hey! Hey, Mom.

What are you doin'?

I was just about to get all the zombie cousins.

Mmm...okay...

Uh, Mom, we...thank you... need to talk to you.

Grandma, maybe you should take a seat.

What is this?

Well, first, just know that, uhm

[clears throat] we love you.

-We believe in you. -We support you.

And know this is a safe space.

Somehow it doesn't feel like one.

[clears throat]

"Ever since you learned about new technology,

"you have done the unthinkable.

We are worried."

I don't understand.

You guys are the ones who told me I needed to be more modern.

I think the kids had good intentions,

but we think you allowed new technology to consume your life.

No, I haven't.

Grandma, you filmed your own TED talk talking about

surrendering your life to tech.

We just want our old Grandma back.

All right.

You guys have a point.

I have been a little preoccupied with my new gadgets.

I'll scale it back.

All right.

For starters, to kick things off, let me take these--

Don't touch that, young man!

Yeah...

I got a problem.

[music]

[doorbell rings]

Bethany, I thought you canceled our smoothie date.

-Let me get my-- -I'm here for Rebecca, not you.

Oh...

So, I take it you're still upset about earlier?

You turned my presentation into a blackout at school, Dylan.

What do you think?

Okay, yep, you're still upset. Listen...

I lied about suddenly becoming a chemistry wiz overnight

because I wanted to impress you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay not to know things.

That's why I'm tutoring students, to help them learn.

You're right, I should've been honest

and not offered to assist you.

I knew better.

You know, I low-key think it was kind of nice of you to try

and help me even though you know nothing about covalent bonds.

Yeah, the only bond I know

is the one I have with all of my sneakers...

my babies.

Well, luckily, my teacher changed her mind

and is now giving me a second chance to present.

Really?! That's awesome!

-Do you need me to-- -Absolutely not.

Stay away from my class, Dylan.

Duly noted. I'll be cheering you on...

from a distance.

[Bethany] Rebecca!

[music]

Mama, there's popcorn right there on the table.

Oh, right.

Dylan, your glass seems empty. You want me to get you a refill?

Uhm, no, I'm good, Grandma. Thanks.

[phone chimes]

[heavy exhale]

[phone chimes]

I think I'll get us all some chips.

We're outta chips.

-Okay, how about cookies, then? -We ate them all.

Fine. [phone chimes]

How about ice cream?

-I'll go get it. -No...no...

I can't take it no more.

I need to go to the kitchen and be by--

[phone chimes]

Huh...I need something sweet.

[phone chimes] I'll be back.

I don't think there's any hope for Grandma.

Well...let's see her try to use her phone

without the use of wifi.

We all know service stinks without it.

Somebody is gonna pay.

[screams] Go, go, go, go!

[music]
