Few people go through college alone.
Those people miss out on one of the

biggest cornerstones of the experience,
the friends you connect with along the

way.

Like the classes that lead to
graduation, these friends also come in a

great variety.

Some friends offer community, like your
frat brothers.

Look, man, I need your help filling in
this hole for the Gamma Events Calendar.

So far, we got Motown Monday, Taco
Tuesday, Wing Wednesday.

I see Thursday.

Man, nothing for Friday.

Freak Nick Friday?

See, that's why you're the general, man.

Other friends can allow an outlet for
your passion.

I am gross.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

Perfect Vin Diesel impression.

Then you have a more intimate
relationship, like your girlfriend.

That was better.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Definite improvement, I thought.

For sure.

No doubt.

Get there.

Totally.

And then you have your best friend,
who's there when you need them most.

Okay, so my sister said that my mom is
being weird about my dad, but that's

kind of just my dad. Like, he's weird. I
don't know. How important would you say

sex is to the survival of a
relationship?

Truly hope you weren't listening to me.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what
do you do when the sex with someone you

care about is bad?

I'm sorry, I should probably back up. If
you didn't know, Annika and I are...

Okay, we share a sweet wall, so I'm
aware.

Right. Sorry about the noise.

All me.

Mostly performative.

Okay, why is this on my plate?

Can't you talk to the gammas?

Well... Hey, dog.

So you're telling me that you didn't
even get your pants on?

So that's why they call you the firing
squad. Oh, my God, bro.

The Gammas, they're good for some
things.

This is an A-list problem, and I need my
Aces. I'm strangely honored.

So you think we just need some time to
get into the groove, or is there a

bigger issue?

How long does it normally take you to
get in the rhythm with someone now?

Okay, one, they get in a rhythm with me,
and two, that's not a problem I have.

Same. Usually. I am Mr.

Five Star D-List, remember?

Mm-hmm. Okay, I hope that was something
we left in freshman year.

But seriously, you and Annika, it's a
long time coming, so I'm not surprised

that you'd be feeling more pressure than
with your five-star bling. That is true.

Yeah, so just focus on being present.

Stop building it up in your head and
psyching yourself out, okay? Just be.

Couldn't hurt to get out of my head.
Yeah.

You know what? Maybe that is what I need
to tell my sister.

I'm so sorry. I just gotta talk. Thank
you so much, Z.

Good luck improving your lovemaking!

I can't believe I'm actually grabbing
coffee with someone who says, let's grab

coffee sometime.

Yeah, it is traditionally one of those
things people say but don't actually

intend to do. Like, hey, let me help you
with the move.

Or send me the name of that documentary.

Exactly. But actually, I wanted to check
in.

On you academically, how's your junior
year class look?

I'm sorry, what? Well, I've been doing
some freelance advising in my free time.

Not that I have much, what with my
teaching schedule, extended office

hours, volunteering at various blood
drives. And I did agree to help a friend

to move. It's just hard to say no, you
know? It really is.

This newly packed schedule wouldn't have
anything to do with you and Zoe breaking

up, would it?

What? No.

No. No. I'm an experienced professor who
is taking interest in a young student's

academic journey. Oh, okay. Yeah, so,
uh...

Well, that's my major, then.

Activism, right? Because you like to be
an activist.

No. Yeah, I think you should, you know,
take a break from the grind like I am.

Try experiencing new things. Mm-hmm. For
yourself.

Kiela, I appreciate your concern. I do.
But I'm not trying to distract myself

from Zoe.

I'm not trying to distract from
anything.

There's nothing to distract myself from.
You know, I'm fine.

But you don't sound fine. Would you look
at that? I am late from 10.05.

How many meetings do you have today?
This is a great chat. Honestly, I really

enjoy this. Let's do this again. You
know, we can do weekly, bi-weekly. Just

let me know soon because spots are
filling up fast.

The basic philosophy here is to respect
one another, is to respect yourself.

Dorm is all about creating... If you ask
me, the sober dorm got an unfair rap.

This is a healthy alternative.

Growing up, our parents' homes were
sober dorms.

Like, if you really, really think about
it.

Who we truly are.

Because what are we here to educate if
not our souls?

Anyways, that's the rest of the
guidelines.

We're all cool enough humans to not need
rules. Rules are for Zeus.

Okay, I'm not into men, but I get it.
There's something about him I can't

quite put my finger on, but it wants to
be touching him.

Thanks for listening. My door is always
open since I took it off the hinges.

Okay, this place kind of rocks. The only
thing I'm a little skeptical about is

our stowaway roommate, Sophia.

I asked her what her major was. She
said, excellent.

I've never seen her get up or go to bed,
and no matter what time, always wearing

a suit.

Same. It's like if she took it off,
there'd just be another one underneath

it.

Hey, you ladies.

You're hitting up game night, yes?

We can get there early. Snatch up the
good seats.

Won't they close to be there?

Not that we wouldn't go otherwise.

I have a boyfriend.

Of course you will. It's his event.

And Annika, I think your tuna sub's on
its last legs.

Unless you want food poisoning.

Late.

How did you know that was mine?

Maybe we should blow off this event
because Sophia seems like she plays

Monopoly with real money.

Nah, when I was an RA, whoever skidded
my first event was usually trouble.

We skidged all your events. And you
bitches were trouble. What?

Morning. Good night.

Hanukkah and I ironed everything out.

Sexually. Okay, the line on what I'm
comfortable with, we have arrived.

And I'm going to need you to stop saying
the word sexually.

Fair, but I just want to say the advice
that you gave was amazing.

I mean, like, amazing.

Woo! I was so in the moment, I did this
one, like, double pump thing that was...

Okay, hello? The line.

Right. Seriously, though, thanks.

Hey, Andre, before you go, there's
something that's been bothering me.

Ooh, yeah, now's not a great time for
me. I actually have to get back to my

place and shower.

My parents might be getting divorced.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

I want to give this the attention that
it deserves.

So maybe could we, like, do lunch
tomorrow?

Thank you so much.

Of course.

I should really just check in with my
family to make sure they can hold off on

any more issues until things open up for
you. I'm sorry. You know what? Maybe we

can just do it today. We'll move some
things around and... Have fun.

I feel like now is probably a bad time
to go back for my car keys.

Since my fight with Zada this morning,
she's been ghosting my apology texts all

day. So the only thing left to do is go
full Ghostbuster.

Fortunately, thanks to a tip from
Monica, I am busting her game night with

an apology.

And busting makes me feel good.

Stop, you ate the whole pepper. Carolina
Reaper nuked my taste buds for a week,

but I won the t-shirt.

That's so mean.

Andre, there you are.

You.

I'm so happy you're here, my man.

Hey, guy. Nicola.

Jeez. They built this guy in a handsome
factory?

What's up?

Uh, thanks for having me. Actually, I
only invited your girlfriend.

I'm kidding.

I'm gonna go get the pizza.

What is it?

Well, you know, this has been fun and
all, but I hope we finish in time so I

can make it to Bar None.

I thought we had to put in a good
appearance. And we appeared.

This is my first night off this
semester, and I'm not going to sit here

and waste it on game night.

So, tick-tock.

I don't know about you, but I am ready
to let loose.

So I suggested we play Sturbridge Witch
Hunt.

Wait, uh, Sturbridge what hunt?
Sturbridge Witch Hunt.

Like werewolf, mafia, secret zombie.

An interactive whodunit with a focus on
subverted gender roles.

Look who's schedule cleared up. Zara,
you know I did not mean... Let's put the

cross talk for the end. I was just about
to go for the rule. My apologies,

Sophia. Please, start from the beginning
and go slow for Andre.

He's a terrible listener.

So, the rules of the game are... Are you
okay?

...in a village, and we're all
villagers. You saw the things that I've

never handled in my problems through
passive-aggressive parlor games? She's

never met my mom and dad.

When am I going to meet your mom and
dad?

Not sure, but that's something we
definitely won't do sober.

Sophia, question.

Let's hold the question to the end. Say
you were dealing with your own witch

problems, but now you're ready to talk
to your friend about the harvest, and

they just keep blowing you off. Clearly,
the villager only cares about their own

crop and doesn't give two shits about
anyone else.

This is going to be a lot harder than I
thought.

You know what?

Let's just dive in.

Grab a post-it off the table. It'll say,
witch is witch.

Get it?

I thought you couldn't wait to get out
of here. Yeah, but that was before I

knew we'd be role-playing while
subverting gender roles.

And this actually sounds like a night
like I really needed.

Imagine this. As our patrons settle into
a location scored by the passions of the

satisfied. Doug, listen.

I don't care what you do with the space
downstairs, all right? I trust you.

It's too cold, though. Please, the
infectors ain't paying in the ass.

Yes! Bro, Ray is in.

I just know that there's an audience out
there that's ready to turn up with the

volume down.

Man, it's like, what this takes off, I'm
one step closer to having my own spot.

Mm-hmm. Congrats, man.

I appreciate you. Thought that you'd be
home right now in your sad robe,

watching Love and Basketball, eating
Cajun buffalo-flavored feelings.

Mm-mm. I'm too busy to be sad.

Too busy to be anything, actually. You
know, I scheduled so much stuff that I

missed teaching my own class.

Yeah. Ironically, while I was auditing a
lecture on time management.

Okay, I think we need to address the
Zoe-sized elephant in the room.

What's there to say?

We're done, man. Okay?

Had something? Then we didn't have it.

That's it.

Okay. Yeah, other people are going to
let you give them the eulogy, but

that... That's not me. I'm your friend.
Yeah. And I'm going to give it to you

straight. All right, let's do it.

Even though you're not ready to move on,
you're very much, at the very least,

living single.

That's a great TV show.

It was the friends before friends.

Needed to be said. Being serious right
now. Okay. Okay?

For the first time in a very long time,
you're solely in charge of the life of

Aaron Jackson.

Mm-hmm. Which is why I am keeping myself
busy.

Bro, you're obsessed with keeping your
mind busy when you won't find anything

until it's finally clear.

How long is that gonna take, man?

I don't know.

I mean, when I split up with Jazz, I
didn't know when I would finally feel

okay.

But you got all the time in the world to
figure it out.

And then you just felt ready to get back
out there again?

I mean, I'm very much in a demanding
relationship with a lady named Bar Nun.

So, while I go downstairs and measure
for a new DJ booth...

Figure out what it is that you want.

Do you think Nicholas gets his clothes
tailored?

Everything just hangs right.

I still need to figure out a way to get
to Zara.

Every time I try to talk to her, she
just calls me a witch and then Sophia

swoops in to interrogate me.

Yeah, she is doing the most.

Mm-hmm.

Now, were you at the town hall on the
Sabbath or not, Jedediah?

It reminds me a lot of that summer in
Cuba.

Wait.

What if Sophie is the witch? That
just... That'd be crazy, right? Why are

you pretending to be into them?

I'm not. I'm just... I'm doing me. And
right now that means being here because

I want to, not because I have to.

Or I'd love for now.

Intriguing philosophy.

I'm going to try it out.

Zara.

Oh, well, well, well, if it isn't Esther
the Wicked.

Zara, enough, okay? We need to talk. I'm
sorry for taking all the oxygen out of

the room with the Annika stuff.

Okay, so just because your relationship
changed, that means ours does?

No, no, not at all. I just feel like I
can talk to you about anything.

And how nice would that feel?

You're not the only one dealing with
stuff, not that you've noticed.

Well, I'm here now.

Amazing. You're ready to talk to me,
finally?

Awesome.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood.

Distracted, sulking, happy to escape?

I knew it. That is the witch.

I win.

Traditionally, when game night tears
apart a friendship, it's over something

silly like...

Sneaking a peek during battleship or not
knowing how to play Clue.

But this feels more serious.

After my plan to ghostbust Dada
completely backfired, I am now stuck

here, dustbusting while I guilt spiral.

And this busting makes me feel bad.

I can't believe Sophia bailed after
volunteering us to clean up.

I mean, winning and bouncing, you have
to respect it.

We may not know Sophia's deal, but she
should.

Maybe she had a friend who needed her,
you know?

Someone who could count on her.

Someone she's never let down.

Oh, my God. Are you going to sad clean
all night, or are you going to go talk

to Zada?

She doesn't want to talk to me.

I get it. I took her for granted, and 20
years from now, she's going to be some

random girl in my freshman year photo
album whose name I can't even remember.

Andre, friends fight, and what separates
us from the animals is that, you know,

we can do it without ripping each
other's clothes out. Have you seen

Dara's nails?

Look, one-sided friendships happen to
the best of us. You get caught up in

yourself, and you give out more than you
take in. But no, no, Dara and I are more

than that. We're more than just
roommates. Last year, we really leaned

on one another and became each other's
go-tos.

I don't want to lose that.

I can't lose that.

Well, now that she's had time to cool
down, I bet she'll hear how much you

mean it.

Really? You're a friend. People know
they can count on Andre.

We all do.

Hey, do you guys mind leaving the
leftover snacks out? Hosting a sex

addict's anonymous meeting in an hour.

I just, I have to be there when he
relapses. Girl, you better.

Okay, when you're done being distracted,
head over to Google and give us a five

-star review.

Cool? Well, you know what? For as long
as I can remember, I've wanted to run a

marathon. I just, I never had the time
to train, until now.

You just hate running.

Yeah, but I love having rent, so maybe
I'll do that.

Maybe I won't. I'll see you after the
month. The point is, I've got time.

Okay, well, if I get you in them Redfoot
shoes, I'm gonna do both of us a favor,

and I'm gonna run your ass over.

My man. All right.

I noticed you've been alone all night.

And if you'd like to change that, I'm
Dee Dee.

Hi, Dee Dee. How you doing? I'm Aaron.
Nice to meet you.

Um,

let me just... Hey, you're pro to solid,
okay? Ten out of ten. You look great.

I just have to respectfully tell you
that I'm not interested.

Why? You got a girlfriend?

No, I do not have a girlfriend.

I'm just, uh, focusing on me right now.

Sometimes the connections you think are
the strongest are the ones you take for

granted and let slip.

And when that happens, you find out what
kind of friend you really are. Hey, I

really am sorry about your parents.

Saying that doesn't make it okay.

I know, but I just need you to hear
this.

I was wrong to treat you like my
therapist and not like my best friend.

Grown-ups shouldn't have best friends.

What are you, seven?

My point is, I just don't want to lose
what we have.

Then maybe you shouldn't get so wrapped
up in defining yourself that you forget

there are people that count on you.

People?

I count on you.

And I just didn't think that us not
sharing a room would change that.

It won't.

I wasn't there for you, and I know that
there's nothing I can do to go back and

change that, but I am here for you now
whenever you need me, and I can promise

you that.

You're not unconvincing.

So, bestie, is it just your mom and your
dad, or is it like a

girl you like sprinkled in there, or do
you just miss the comforting sounds of

me sleeping a few feet away? No, I don't
miss your snoring.

They were allergies, and that was
seasonal.

Okay. But real talk, maybe your parents
will just be okay.

My parents separated for a second, and
it didn't last.

You never told me that.

Yeah. When did you know that they were
going to be okay?

Uh, depends on your definition of okay.

Fair.

But I think if it helps, it's always
important to remember at the end of the

day, and I know this is extremely hard.

Our parents are people too.

That's so gross. I know.

Just killed my vibe.

What? It was supposed to be
motivational, like inspirational.

Sorry.

For now, I'm going to work on being the
kind of friend who doesn't need to be

asked twice to show up.

I'm helping Doug with some stuff at
Fireman today. You want to come?

Don't know.

I kind of like not waking up hungover.

Morning.

Are you okay?

Never been better.

Oh, do you guys want in if I order
ramen?

For breakfast?

Breakfast is just a label. I don't do
labels, Kiki.

Late.
