You're gonna be late.

Okay, Cole, you've chopped enough wood
to last us through Thanksgiving.

What's going on?

You think I'm a bad influence?

On who?

I don't know. Jackie?
Like, with the party and everything.

We're talking about Jackie, right?

Who runs student council.

You know, leads the track team,
gets straight A's in all of her subjects,

helps Benny with his homework every night,
takes Parker to her games on Sunday.

That Jackie?

Yeah.

No.

Cole, I don't think
you're a bad influence.

She seems really happy.

And I think that's on you.

You okay?

We're done for the day.

No. Let's go again.

No.

All done, guys. Get 'em back in!

All right!

Come here.

-What you're doing, it ain't working.
-I know.

I just need more practice.

No, you're hurt. It's making you tense up.

You'll keep getting thrown off
if you don't relax.

I know. I can't help it.

You should try these.

- I don't think so. I'm fine.
- Are you?

Look, you've seen me take these
after a throw, right?

-Right.
-Sometimes I take them before getting on.

It helps with the nerves, keeps you loose.

Give them a try. What do you got to lose?

Right now, you don't have a hope.

-Okay.
-And just keep this between us, okay?

Hartford or Blake
don't need to know about it.

Oh, all the guys are heading
to, uh, Reid's tonight, so bring beer.

Or, uh… juice or whatever.

I have school, I, uh…

School.

All right, man. It's your loss.

Should be a good night, though.

Hey.

Hey.

This is for you, for coming here
before school and helping me unpack.

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, wonderful thing number 725
about your parents separating

is they both get to punish you.

What do you mean?

Well, my mom already grounded me,
but I'm at my dad's this week,

and he's decided
to also take away my phone and my laptop,

and I'm only allowed out
for school stuff and church.

So basically I'm in solitary confinement,

which I think is against
international human rights law.

I mean, technically, I don't think it is,

but you do have a point.

Richard still calling you
every five minutes?

Yeah, I don't know what he wants.

I said everything that I had to say
that night at the banquet.

Well, maybe
he just wants to make up with you.

I doubt it. I think he wants
to keep telling me what to do, you know?

Keep pretending to be
a concerned guardian.

See? This is why
we need the community space,

so that people have a place to go
to get away from school or parents or

uncles.

Yeah, I mean, that'd be great.

If I ever get to leave the house again.

-What's going on?
-It's Jackie. She stopped picking up.

We haven't really spoken
since the banquet.

And I don't know what to do about it.
I'm worried about her.

To be honest, so am I.

Well, she's always been
such a high achiever, but

she got a C in sociology this week.

What? How is that possible?

Could be a lot of things.

She's finding the class too hard?

No, or maybe she's bored.

Or it could be something else.

Yeah, I think I know what that might be.

I mean, she does seem very happy.

No, she's letting other things slide.

First love is all-consuming.

I see it all the time.

She'll figure it out.

Ooh, I gotta get to work.

Okay?

-Bye.
-Bye.

Thanks
for giving me a ride to school.

Anytime.

Wylder doesn't think you're ready.

Whatever. What would he know?

A lot.

He's the best bareback rider
in the county.

-And he's worried about you.
-I doubt that.

Look, we can't let you do this
if you're not up for it.

I am up for it.

You have one more session
before the event,

and if things don't improve
drastically from today,

you're not competing.

It's too risky.

I appreciate you coming in.

Is this about my sociology grade?

Well, yes, but also--

I already have a makeup exam
scheduled for today.

Well, that's good, but before you go…

Is everything okay?

This isn't like you.

You're right.

It's not like me, and honestly,
I think that's a good thing.

People have been telling me to relax
and not be such a perfectionist for years,

but as soon as I do and drop
a couple grades in sociology,

it's an issue.

But it's not just the grade,
though, is it?

It's the other things you've been doing.

Other things?

The party.

The police.

Richard's really worried about you.

Richard?

Look, Jackie.

I've seen this before.
When someone starts dating someone who's--

I really don't want to be rude,
Ms. Jacobs,

but just because you're dating my uncle,

it doesn't mean we can talk
about my personal life.

-I--
-Like I said, I'm making up the grade.

So you have nothing to worry about.

And if my uncle is worried,
he can talk to me.

Okay.

Jackie, I'm here if you need anything.

Hey. Whoa, what's going on?

I'm so tired of being judged.

It was one party.
It's a grade in one class.

Slow down, wh… what do you mean?

I wanna get out of here, now.

Wait, you want to skip class?

I have played by the rules my whole life,
and the one time that I don't,

do I get the benefit of the doubt?
No, of course not.

So, yes, Cole, I want to skip class.

Well, don't you have that makeup test
this afternoon?

Yeah, we'll be back for that.

I'm going whether you come with me or not.

Okay.

Why is your ex calling you?

Well, you know that she's working
at that research facility in Atlanta.

No, actually, funnily enough,
I'm not following your ex on LinkedIn.

Well, she is working there,
and there's a job opportunity.

When did you talk to her?

And why didn't I know about this?

Are you jealous?

What's the job?

It's pretty cool.

It's an associate's position for now,

but they're expanding,

so there's a possibility
to grow with the company.

So you've really been thinking about this?

A little bit.

Look, it's right in the city,

so there's bound to be opportunities
for you too there.

The last time I told my dad
we were leaving--

Babe, how many times?

That was not your fault, okay?

That was not your fault.

Your dad could've had that stroke
at any time.

I know.

But he needs me
on the ranch for the winery.

What if he gets sick again?

I…

I don't know, Hayles.
I… I don't think I can leave right now.

Honestly, the way Ms. Jacobs was talking,
you'd think I'd burned down the gym.

Can't I have one blip?

I'm happy.

Isn't that what matters?

Yeah, no, I guess.

What?

Well, I mean,

you know, like, from their point of view,
it's not just one blip.

Right?

First, it was the party, then the police,

and then the grade, and like now.

I mean, right now,
you're cutting class, so…

Don't you start too.

You're the only person
that makes me feel like me right now.

Can't I just have that?

Can't I just be a girl
spending time with her boyfriend

without it being a problem to fix?

Sure.

Come on.

What?

Are you coming?

♪ Every time think you'll try

Never thought Jackie Howard

Jackie Howard would never.

Uh, my dad wants to know
if you like black beans.

-Sure.
-He's making enchiladas.

Oh, and he's got tiramisu for dessert.

-You like coffee, right?
-I do.

Awesome.

Man, he's really going all out.

Well, should I maybe, like,
bring something to say thank you, or…

No. No, we have everything. Trust me.

He's just super excited to meet you.

Really?

Well, yeah. You're the first girl
I've ever brought over for dinner.

Should I change? Do I look okay?

-I feel like this… this isn't good.
-Kiley. Kiley, you look perfect.

Okay.

Okay? Don't worry.

I'm telling you,

he's gonna love you.

I'm… I'm looking forward to it.

If you could just…
if you could send me the application.

Great, and then I will send it right back.

Okay? See you then.

Application?

Uh, for an apartment in Silver Falls.

Just, you know, now… now that I'm working,

I think that I should, you know,
I could maybe get a year lease.

That's great.

And get settled 'cause I really…
I want my boys with me.

Have you talked to them about it yet?

I mean, no, not yet,

but… what do you think?

I don't know.

They've been with us for a while.

I do know that they're gonna love
spending time with you.

I hope so.

I'm proud of you, Hannah.

A job, an apartment, showing up.

It's just great to have you back here.

Thanks, G. Thank you.

What time do you have to get to work?

Um… oh gosh, I… I should get going.

Oh, coffee.

Good thing I know the boss, huh?

Jackie.

Jackie, we gotta go.

-Do we?
-Yeah, hey, look.

-Oh my God, my exam.
-Yeah, I know.

I know. Come on.

Can we make it?

I don't know. We can try.

Miss Fereday, I'm so sorry I'm late.

Jackie, you were offered the chance
to make up your grade by the end of today.

You didn't do that.

But, uh… could I please just…

Your previous grade will stand.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Yeah, a little. It's fine.

It's just harder
than I thought it would be, you know?

And it's not just the training
and the hours and the competing.

There's this thing tonight
that everybody's going to,

but I don't know, with my ankle,
and it's a school night, and--

You know, if you don't wanna go, don't go.

Well, it's not that simple.

It's like, it's expected.
Like, if I don't go--

You don't have to be friends
with those guys

just because you have
the same sponsorship.

You seemed to enjoy riding
a lot more before Hartford's.

But they took a chance on me.

-I owe them. I owe Blake.
-Do you?

I don't know, maybe I just don't have
what it takes to be a pro.

Maybe.

Or maybe Hartford's
just isn't the right place for you.

When I was in high school,
I was on the football team,

I ran track, captain of the debate club,

plus I worked in the feed store
and on construction sites after school.

Wow, that… that's a lot.

Yeah, Dad's a bit of a workaholic.

That's why I started
my own business once I left college.

I wanted to be my own boss,
so I set myself up in construction

and built it from scratch.

That's really cool.

I'd like to run a business one day.

Really?

Kiley's so creative.

She's gonna be, like, a… a game designer
or something cool like that.

Actually, I was thinking real estate
or something in tech.

I love creative design,
but I'd worry about AI taking over.

I want something solid.

-Real.
-Good for you.

You have your head screwed on right.

So, Kiley, what do your parents do?

They're overseas. I live with my grandma.

Hmm. What's that like?

It's normal.

I'm used to it.

Well, you should bring her over sometime.
I'd like to meet her.

Me too.

Sure.

What are you doing here?
Don't you have a rest day?

Is everything okay?

-Uh, not really.
-Is it the bareback event?

Like I said, we can't let you do it
if you're not ready.

It's not just that.

I feel like no matter what I do,

I… I… I'm always gonna be
the high school kid that got lucky.

I feel like you did give me a pass.
Like, I just can't do anything right.

We've had younger riders before.
The only one making that an issue is you.

Like, why didn't you come
to Reid's last night? It was a good party.

Because I had school in the morning?

You didn't have to stay long.
Just come by, say hi.

You know, hanging out with the others
is a big part of this.

If you're worried about fitting in,
that'd be a good place to start.

I've been trying.

Have you?

You didn't come last night. You didn't
wanna come to Wylder's barbecue.

You started a fight at a party.

No, I didn't… I didn't start anything.

I don't know. From where I'm standing,
it looks like everyone has made an effort,

but you have not tried
as much as you think.

Yeah. Yeah, you know what?

I don't wanna have to go out
drinking every night

or get tattoos or take pain meds to ride.

What?

Some of the guys, they take pain meds.

Yeah, when they're injured.

Right, and sometimes
before they're injured.

Wylder gave me these.

That was stupid.

But he was probably
just trying to help you

because of your ankle.
You didn't take any, did you?

Wylder says he takes them all the time.

-All the time?
-Yeah, before a ride.

He says it keeps him loose.

- He didn't want me to tell you.
- I'll bet.

Okay.

I'll deal with this.

In the meantime,

you should think about
how you can fit in more

because it seems to me
like you're the one keeping your distance.

Is this it?

We're still taking donations,
so who knows what might still come in.

Yeah, if we're lucky,
we're gonna get more broken chairs

from someone's damp garage.

Most of this is just trash.

I mean, it's not exactly screaming
cool place to hang out.

Unless we're decorating
a serial killer's dungeon.

Okay, so we're not off to a great start,
but this place still has potential.

So if city council won't help
and if we can't rely on donations,

then we're gonna have to raise
our own funds.

A fundraiser? Yeah, no. Count me out.

Come on, Paige. Jackie's right.

We need this.

It's gonna have to be something
that's easy to set up

that will bring in
as much cash as possible.

Um, okay, how about a car wash?

The soccer team does one
every year in the school parking lot.

They always make a ton of money.

And that's why there's no way
the school will let us step on those toes.

Well, we could make it different.

How?

We could have it at Tony's Auto Shop.
I mean, he might like the idea.

All those cars,
it's like free advertising.

I could get Cole to ask him.

That works.

-Hi.
-Well, my dad is still raving about you.

So… when am I coming to your place?

Um, I don't know.

My grandma doesn't really like
having people over.

Right.

But I'm not people.

I'm your boyfriend.

I'll ask her.

I like this one.
I won't be able to afford that.

- But that's a great street.
- I know.

- That one's a great spot now.
- Mom.

Uh…

-What's wrong?
-What? Nothing.

Your mom just wants
to talk to you guys. Jeez.

Have a seat.

So, you know, I mean,
now that I'm… I'm back in Silver Falls,

and I have a job,

I… I think that

you know, it's time for me
to move out of my van.

And I think, like, I should…
I want to get a…

an apartment here in town.

And I would like for you
to… to move in with me.

What? Really?

Wait, so, like, we'd live together,
the three of us?

Yeah.

And look, you guys, I know… I know
that you… I mean, you love living here.

It's like…

But I… I want us…

I want us to have a life together

as a family.

Yeah.

I… I think that would be really cool.

If that's okay with you.

Of course it is.
We just want you guys to be happy.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks, Mom. Let's do it.

-Come and look at some of these.
-Check these out. So…

I mean, I have these in order,
but it's totally up to you.

-Okay.
-Kinda like this first one.

Ooh.

'Cause it's five minutes
from the skate park.

- Actually?
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. What do you think?

Hey, pal.

It's been a while.

Looks like he missed you.

Yeah, I missed him.

How's he doing?

Yeah, he's doing okay. Aren't you, Murph?

So, what's up?

I spoke to Wylder.

Right.

So,

are you gonna make him
go to rehab or what?

He said he was just trying
to help you with your ankle

and that you're lying
because you can't do the bareback event.

I would never lie
about something like that.

I know.

I know you wouldn't.

But

I have to believe Wylder
because he's our best rider.

What? Are… are you serious?

I'm sorry, Alex.

Okay, look,
just… just take a week or two, okay?

-And we can let everyone just cool off--
-No. No. No.

No?

Look, I've been trying to make this work,

but this life, it's just not right for me.

I… I can't keep up. I…

I'm done. I quit.

- No, Alex, don't do this.
- No, I love rodeo.

But I can't keep pretending
that it's working for me.

And there are things I can't ignore,
and there are lines I won't cross.

I can't keep trying to prove
that I'm worth something to everybody.

You are worth something, Alex.

Okay, you're… you're a talented rider.
We'll find you sponsors.

-I can recommend you--
-Fine, maybe, but not right now.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna miss you.

Me too.

I'll be seeing you, Alex Walter.

Mmm.

So, I'm looking at four places
this afternoon,

and one of them,
it's just down there next to Monty's.

And then the other one that I like,

it's, like… it's right over there,
kind of by the… like, by the park

and it is a three bedroom,
which means you'll each get your own room.

-Hoo-ooh!
-Wow. Yeah, that'd be sweet.

Finally, I don't have to listen
to your snoring.

I don't have to listen
to your stupid skate music.

Whoa, stup…
Okay, it's not stupid. It's pr--

Okay, okay.

-Boys, boys, boys, stop.
-I thought you liked my--

I just

really want something
that works for both you guys.

-What about school and practice?
-Well, I'm gonna drive you.

Because I am trading in my beloved van
for a normal car.

-No.
-Whoa.

-Yeah.
-I can't believe it.

That's… that's what this is all about.
Just, you know, living a normal life.

With the two of you.

Sounds great.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, thanks.

Yeah!

-Hug it in, family hug.
-Definitely a hug.

-There's people watching.
-Embarrassing. Right? Right?

Um, so look, do… do you guys
wanna come with me after work?

- And we can go check out the apartments.
- Yeah.

Great! Okay.
I will pick you up from the ranch,

and we will go see them together.

Ooh, I'm so excited!

-All right.
-She's dancing. She's dancing. Yup.

Thank you.

Hello.

I'll just have the basic, please.

Great, that'll be $30.

Although, we do have the full
executive service available for $60.

That's okay.

Well, it is for a great cause.

And for you,
I think we could probably do it for $50.

Okay, I'll have the full.

Great, thanks.

Jackie, uh, one full executive
for the kind, charitable lady.

I gave her a little bit of a discount.

I think we're gonna make our goal.

Well, I had Tony and Mac put the word out.

And they know a lot of people
with a lot of cars.

Perfect, you call me
if you need anything, okay?

Bye, Nitro.

Bye, buddy.

Take care.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll mark it down.

Hey. Dr. Morris is just finishing up.
You can go when you're done.

Great, thank you.

Okay. I said…

Hello?

- Hannah Walter?
- Yes.

It's Sammy about the apartment
this afternoon?

Oh, right. Hi. Hi.

I'm looking over
your initial questionnaire.

You didn't list your last address?

Oh, yeah, right. Um…

I don't have one.
Just kinda wherever I parked the van.

I… I just moved back to Silver Falls, so…

Right, and I see you haven't
listed previous employers either?

No, I've… I've… I've kinda just been
mostly self-employed, so…

Look, you're welcome to come see
the apartment, but I have to be honest.

The odds of you being approved for
any apartment without a previous residence

or job references is highly unlikely.

Oh, okay.

Maybe have a think about it.
See if you can pull something together?

Sure, thank you.

What are you doing here?

I want the community space,
so I thought I'd help make it happen.

Plus, I wasn't gonna wash cars all day,
so I baked all night instead.

How about you?
I thought you were training today.

Yeah.

I'm done with all that.

I left Hartford's.

Well, it didn't seem
to be making you very happy.

Yeah, I thought it was
what I wanted. The thrill of it all.

Feeling like a winner, but now that
it's over, I mostly just feel relieved.

So…

I get that.

Oh, you forgot your computer science book
back at my place.

Oh yeah,
I was wondering where that was.

Pick it up later?

Yeah. Yeah, great.

'Cause my grandma wants you
to explain how to program the TV.

- Again.
- Can't you do that?

Yes, obviously,
but she says that when you do it,

you find those reruns
of Fantasy Island that she likes.

I apparently can't find the right channel.

-Well, it's a secret, you know?
-Oh, it's a secret?

It's a secret channel.

Maybe we could go over
the game for class one more time.

- Yeah, absolutely.
- Sweet.

- You made this?
- I did.

Hey! You wanna get the car washed?

Actually, Richard just sent me
to check out what's got you so invested.

But, you know, now that I'm here, why not?

Great.

Uh… looks like everyone's…
everyone's busy.

What?

No, it's okay. I… I don't have much time.

Cole?

It's for a good cause?

That's what I hear.

Okay.

Come on. A little more, a little more,
a little more, a little more.

Good.

There's a coffee station or whatever.

Or you can stay inside the car.

You don't have to, like… watch.

Well, I actually came here
'cause I wanted to talk to you.

Okay.

What's up?

Tara told Richard
that Jackie cut class the other day.

Did she?

I think you know.

Right.

Okay. And?

And… her grades have been dropping.

And after what happened at the party,
I mean, her uncle's concerned.

So he… he sent you?

What are you,
like his henchman or something?

Look, he told me he spoke to you.
That's all.

Look, I've known Jackie for a long time.

All right, and I can tell
that she likes you.

But, I mean, think about all the things

that a person like Jackie
can do with her life.

You really wanna be the reason that…
that she gives all that up?

Okay, well, I'd never…

I'd never stop her.

Okay? Jackie wouldn't let anything
get in the way of what she wants.

Okay, but what if what she wants is you?

That doesn't mean
that that's what she needs.

You really know
what you're dealing with here?

You think she'd be cutting class
and dropping grades and getting arrested

if it weren't for you?

I mean, a girl like Jackie,
she doesn't end up with a guy like you.

And I think you know that.

Look, this… this thing,

it's gonna end eventually.

But you can do a hell of a lot of damage
before that happens.

I mean, you really wanna be
the guy that ruins her life?

You missed a spot.

Well, I'm glad you decided
to break it to him this way.

Yeah, it's your good news.
He deserves to hear it from you.

- Oh.
- Well, hello.

Hey.

-What are you doing here?
-I invited her over.

Oh.

Will, Hayley told me about Atlanta.

Atlanta?

I got a job offer there.

Oh, wow, congrats. Hayley, that's great.

This job market's hard.
Are they gonna let you work from home?

No, um…

We'd actually both be going.

Oh.

There are
so many opportunities there.

And Morgan has this hotel-developer friend
that she wants Will to meet.

Oh, Hayley.

But Will doesn't feel like
he can leave us.

-Leave you.
-What?

I… I don't want you to feel like
I'm going right when you need me.

What are you talking about?

Like, Will, I want you around,
of course I do,

but you're not just gonna put
your life on hold. This is amazing.

What if you get sick again?

It's not gonna happen.

All right, I've been fine for weeks,
and I can run the ranch.

I've done it before.

And the other kids are
actually helping more now.

And the winery?

Victoria's got that.

And it's like you said.

They do all the work.
We just get the checks.

- Dad, it's--
- Will, hey.

Listen to me.

We would've drowned without your help
the past few months, all right?

And we're grateful. But I'm good.

All right, we're good.

It's time that you did
something for yourselves.

And Atlanta's not that far. You'll visit.

I will visit.

-Of course.
-Really?

Yes.

I mean,

we'd be lying if we said
that we were glad to see you go.

We're not.

But you have to follow your dreams.

That's right.

And this place will be waiting
for you guys when you get back.

Okay then.

Yeah?

Do you remember that summer
in Martha's Vineyard

when my cousin Tyler broke his leg?

Oh my God.

Yes, and he got
you and I to be his servants.

-What were we, like 12?
-Yeah, and that… that bell that he had.

Oh my God, and after three days,
you threw it in the pool.

He's lucky I didn't throw him in.

All right, folks, listen up!
Car wash is over.

Everyone out. You heard me.

Uh, Tony, can we please have
a little extra time?

I'm sorry, Jackie,
but I got customers coming.

I need to get the cars in there.

Okay, let's go. Move it on out.

Finish it up!

Business, I'm sorry.

Finish up!

We might've made our goal
with a little extra time.

It's just… it's not enough.

Well, we'll figure something out.

You know what?
Um… how about I help?

How's… how's that?

That's… amazing.

Are you sure?

Yeah, happy to donate. It's a good cause.

You know, uh, back in New York,

this one was always raising money
for one good cause or another.

I mean, it's kind of her thing.

It still is.

Easy.

Done.

Thank you.

You should've just asked
in the first place.

You know I'll always help you out.

And there are easier ways of getting money
than… washing cars all day.

Come on, I'll help you load up your car.

Uh, yeah, just a sec.

Hey, Cole.

I'm sorry about Eliot.

Just… he means well.

We really need this donation. We can't do
the community space without it.

Why does this space mean so much to you?

I can't explain it.

Let me show you? Later?

Okay.

-Did you text her?
-Yes.

Dude, like five times.

She keeps saying she'll be here soon.

Okay, but you know
she's not coming, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Hey, Cole, hold up.

What?

Um…

Has there ever been anything
between Alex and Kiley?

Anything?

Anything I should know about?

No, I mean,
they've been, like, friends forever, but…

Right.

Yeah, it's just, I don't know, they…

they like all the same things.

You know, movies, video games and stuff,

and me and Kiley have, like,

nothing in common.

Yeah, but… opposites attract, right?

Right. Yeah, like

you and Jackie.

Yeah.

Right.

Hey. Ready to go?

Hey, yeah, ready.

Thanks.

Lee!

Isaac!

I got pizza!

Hey! There you are.

-Ta-da.
-Where have you been?

I know. I am so sorry.
I just… you know, I got stuck at work

and then I…

But Lee, I got you the meat feast
and Isaac,

I got you the Hawaiian hot. I know you.

- Yeah, I don't want pizza.
- Me neither.

We were supposed to
check out apartments today?

We're still moving out, right?

Um, you… uh…

There's just, like, um… a little hitch,

but I'm… I'm gonna fix it, so…

Don't bother.

Wait a minute, Lee. Lee!

Isaac.

You guys…

You know, I could have just donated
that money in the first place

so we didn't have to do all this.

It's not just about the money, though.

It's about being part of the community,
showing up.

Creating something from scratch.

Right, but…

I don't know. You need to be thinking
about your future as well.

Like, your uncle, he's just trying--

I know what he's trying to do.

He needs to stop trying to control me.

He needs to understand

that maybe I don't want to be
constantly thinking about the future.

Maybe I want to be here.

And I'm perfectly capable
of making my own choices.

Hey.

-Hey.
-Where are the boys?

Uh, they are… they're upstairs.

They are… mad at me.

Why? What happened?

I was getting ready to leave work,
and then the apartment people called me.

And, I mean, Katherine,
I am not gonna get an apartment

without any rental or work history, so…

I'm sorry, Hannah.

You know, and I… I canceled
all of the appointments, but I…

I just couldn't bear to tell the boys,
so I…

I told them I was stuck at work.

And I just… I wanted…
I wanted, like, a fresh start.

-It feels like I'm failing all over again.
-You're not.

You just got a job
with a really cool boss.

True.

And you can stay here
for as long as you need.

And I really appreciate that.

But I just… I want to do something
on my own, you know? Like…

You will.

Just might take a little time.

And the boys are gonna be okay.

Yeah.

And hey, on the upside,

I did get caught up
on all the filing we needed to do,

and I got a head start
on the insurance paperwork for next week.

See?

What did we do without you?

-I… I don't know.
-Ooh.

-Delicious.
-Yum.

Come in.

Thanks.

What is this?

It's for us.

I wanted to show you
how much you mean to me.

And to thank you.

For what?

For showing me that I…
I don't have to have perfect grades

and that I can skip class
every once in a while and…

and that my future isn't as important
as what's right in front of me right now.

I… I used to worry
that I was losing myself.

But I think that's okay,

if it means

losing myself in you.

What's wrong?

Are you still upset
about Eliot giving us the money?

I mean, don't let him get to you.

It just means we get to have this place.

It's not Eliot.

Okay.

What is it?

Is it UT?

Did you not get in?

You don't think I'll get in?

- No. Of course I do. I just--
- You're right.

Maybe I won't get in.

To UT

or… any college.

And then what?

You go off to Princeton,
and I just stay here?

That's not going to happen.

But even if it did,
we would figure something out.

Look, whatever it is, we can fix it.

-Together--
-I can't… I can't be fixed, Jackie.

You should know that by now.

I don't wanna drag you down
more than I already have.

You're not dragging me down.
Why would you say that?

I don't know.

But I don't think I can do this anymore.

Do what?

This.

Whatever it is.

Romeo-and-Juliet shit.
It's too much, Jackie.

You're… you're just too much.

I'm too much?

I mean, what is this
supposed to be anyways, huh?

Like a teen romance novel or something?

I just wanted us to have somewhere--

You know, it's not your fault.
Really, this… this always happens.

Whenever I'm with someone,
it's fine for a while,

and then it just…
I don't know, it just… I get bored.

Bored?

I'm boring you?

Come on, Jackie.

Did you really think you wouldn't?

I've been with a lot of girls.

You know that.

And I mean, this has been, you know,

nice.

-But--
-Cole, come on.

Stop it.

This isn't you.

Actually, Jackie, this is me.

You just never wanted to believe it.

You always wanted me to be some…

I don't know, like, some tortured hero
or something, but I'm not, okay?

-I'm not.
-What are you doing?

You can't imagine it, can you?

That this might not be epic.

That I might just

not want you anymore.

Cole, come…

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I guess.

Cole.

Look at me.
