I know this is a big change, but change can be good.

Right?

[boat creaks]

Yeah, this is going great. Cool.

Ready… Row!

Wait, what?

-[rower] Whoa, not ready, not ready! -[rower 2] Starting?

["Whiplash" by Aespa playing]

[grunts]

Hey, we're lopsided.

-Okay, port! More power! -Are you sure?

Uh… uh…

Sorry, starboard, more power. Sorry, I'm used to facing the other way.

[Ryder] Port or starboard?

-Rate's too high! -Uh…

-It's starboard! -[Josh] Baloo, slow down.

He's rushing the slide!

-Okay, I know! -Do you?

Baloo!

-Baloo, take it down! -Trying!

-[Josh] Ratio! -Okay! Wean off!

Ow!

Why're we stopping?

Hey, we kept the receipt, right? We can still send her back?

Ha, ha, ha.

[school bell ringing]

[Cabrera] To avoid Teagan's dismissal,

we can extend a ten-day grace before payment.

-I trust that'll suffice. -[laughs]

Ten whole days.

Is there a problem, Mrs. Tao? Or is it Emerson?

I go by Emerson now.

Look, the education trust has been implicated and seized,

and I really don't want to have to pull Teagan out of another school.

If there's anything we could do…

Unfortunately, we've allocated our financial aid for the year.

But we could set up an installment plan.

Would $7,000 each month work?

Well, that's… very generous.

Seems so doable.

Otherwise, there are family-funded scholarships,

such as the Chou Scholarship, awarded to students who the families feel

belong to the Easton community and represent its values.

Ah.

Installment plan it is, then.

[knocking on door]

I assume you will be at parents' night tonight.

Next Monday, we'll get this tuition plan sorted.

[Ella] Okay.

Teagan's friend. What are you doing here?

She set fire to a car.

It's my car. I can do what I want with it.

-Did my parents call? -No.

They'll take a jet to space, but not Massachusetts.

[Josh] Okay, boys, keep heading up.

A little to the left.

Ready, and down.

[Quaid] Worst practice ever.

-[Baloo] Not the worst. -[Josh] Speak for yourself.

You didn't lose a kidney because the cox doesn't know her left from right.

Looks like that hurts.

Watch yourself, Faid.

Hey, I'm not sure why you're arguing who sucked most.

It was a nine-way tie.

Not like we have a big race or anything tomorrow.

-What race? -Line it up, boys.

Come get your special event unis for the alumni race.

It's Easton Spirit Week.

Every team has their event leading into the Iron Crucible.

-The school-wide obstacle course. -It's designed to kill you.

Wrong! It is designed to build perseverance.

Legend says that in the last 100 years, seven people have died.

Statistically, that's only a 0.07% chance of death.

Our main event is the alumni race.

The old crew come back and race the new team.

It's the passing of the torch.

Unless they beat us. Then it's more of a handing us our asses.

So it's just a bunch of old dudes trying to prove that they're still young and fit.

They're probably all one steak away from a heart attack.

[laughing]

Actually, it's our dads. And mine's an Olympian.

And mine's a world-record holder.

[laughs] We're going to get smoked.

-So glad my moms don't row. -I don't want Dad to have a heart attack.

Okay, boys. Let's get the boat away.

Uh, hey, guys, has anyone seen my cox box?

-Your cox what? -[Noah] What's missing?

-What? -[Quaid] Saucy.

You know what it is. The amplifier, the microphone thing--

Hands on the boat! Ready, up to shoulders.

And walk her in.

Hey, El. Doing the lunch rush take you back?

Like I was 17 again. With shin splints.

I got your tips from the other night.

Don't spend it all in one place, unless that place is here.

Hey, Jim, um…

Any chance you'd flip me an advance for my next check?

It's for Teagan's school. I wouldn't ask if you weren't my last resort.

I can front you a couple hundred. Would that cover it?

God, no. [laughs]

But every little bit helps.

Thanks, Jim.

Hang in there, kid.

[exhales]

Ugh, where is it?

Harder than it looks, huh?

Yeah, getting eight boys to do anything is impossible.

That's the job of a coxswain. You gotta get them to follow you.

How?

You have to win minds and hearts. Figure out what motivates them.

Look, you're, um… You're like a conductor. You're not a musician.

You'll know soon enough if coxing is for you or not.

Just like Baloo's learning he's not for stroke seat.

Come on.

When the old boathouse burned down, I thought it could use an upgrade.

This is all reclaimed wood.

There we are.

You know, I was the fourth Regis to row in the stroke seat.

With my boy Josh in stroke, he'll be the fifth.

Hm.

-Rich. -Matt.

I was just showing some of the other alums my boathouse.

Your boathouse?

Well, donated.

-Ah. -This is Matt.

We were stern pair,

-the seven to my eight. -Mm.

Even though he's coaching our competition, he'll be in our boat tomorrow.

And how are we feeling about our alumni team's chances?

-We've put our time in on the erg, right? -[man] Sure have.

I hope your boys can give us a run for our money.

Oh, they'll put up a fight. Don't worry.

-[Josh] Oh, way to choke in eight seat. -[Baloo] Learned from the best.

[Baloo chuckles]

We'll lose the flop.

I wish Coach'd quit the character building bullshit and put me back in.

I dunno, maybe Coach is looking for other options in stroke.

[laughs] Like who?

You?

-[tense music playing] -Why not me?

Yeah, sure.

I guess.

-Dad! -[Richard Regis] There's the stroke seat.

How was practice? You, uh, keeping the crew in rhythm?

-Yeah, getting there. -Good.

You've got until tomorrow, anyway. Think you're good enough to take me on?

Maybe we'll have to give you a head start.

Maybe. [laughs]

We'll see what you got.

With me being total shit out there,

I can't imagine you hate me any less than the others?

I don't hate you.

But you were shit.

Yeah, that was rough.

-And the guys do not pull any punches. -Yeah.

No one's going to go easy on you. You swim or you sink.

I have to, or I can't keep training.

Can you give me any insight into these guys?

Apparently to cox them, you need to understand them.

[intriguing music playing]

Josh Regis.

The boy who would be king.

[Cam] His dad won four Haverford Cups as stroke seat. Josh can't compete.

Next.

Josh's cousin Ryder. He's less of an heir, more of a spare.

Baloo, real name Bronson.

He's the heart of the engine room and crumbles under pressure.

He should be nowhere near eight seat. Mom's a senator.

-Wait, is he Britney's brother? -Twibling.

Their mom used two different surrogates at the same time. Designer twins.

Wow, whoa. What is with this school?

Your four seat is our powerhouse. Damon Quaid. New guy from the second boat.

Bit of a troublemaker, as opposed to Noah Bainbridge.

-Cultured and refined, i.e. boring. -[Noah] All of it.

But he takes rowing seriously and expects everyone else to.

Perry Chou. Always on trend, never on rhythm.

And Chris, a.k.a. Crabcatcher.

From the junior boat. The nickname explains itself.

Thanks.

And you? Cam Dillinger. Lone wolf. Only has eyes for the next clean catch.

[both laughing]

Yeah, pretty much.

All right. Enough chatter. Let's hit the showers.

Teagan, your change room's down the hall. Grab your things.

My cox box! Who did…? Di…

-Who's that? -Ha, ha.

[Hayden] That is our new coxswain.

What happened to Liam?

-Well, how much experience does she have? -Oh, lots.

She had her first practice today.

How's my son supposed to lead the team with her?

Well, see, he doesn't have that problem.

Because he's not in stroke.

Okay, boys, listen up.

We need to win tomorrow, all right?

I'll talk to Coach and get back in the eight. It's not up for discussion.

Yeah, if you wanna think inside the box.

Or… you could try me.

-Or me. -Or the person with the best technique.

-And who's that? -It's Cam.

[scoffs]

It's not Cam.

Cam's bladework is impeccable, and he gets the most out of the boat.

He should get a shot.

[door slams]

[intriguing music playing]

[boys arguing indistinctly]

Ugh.

[muffled arguing, water running]

[Perry] Ryder's right. We need fresh blood in stroke.

That's funny.

Hey, we don't have to argue.

Show of hands, who thinks Perry should get a shot at stroke?

Wow, thanks, guys.

[Ryder] Dude, you're not as good as your dad.

Anyone for Cam?

Didn't think so. And how about Ryder?

And that's two.

And who thinks it should be me?

-Whoa! -Whoa!

-[all clamoring] -Ooh…

-Uh, sorry. -What the hell?

What are you doing?

-I'm on the team. Don't I get a vote? -Everyone knows who you're voting for.

All right, who's backing me?

-Then it's settled by popular vote. -Yeah, except it's Coach's decision.

[Teagan] Exactly. Thank you.

-Can you get out of here? -Yep. I am… Oh!

Sorry, Noah, I was not expecting that.

This cannot be the new normal.

[door closes]

[Teagan] Why are we going to parents' night?

[Ella] We need to impress the families

so you can get a scholarship and you don't get kicked out.

Recognize anyone?

I think saw my English teacher.

Waste of time. How hard can English be?

We have to find wealthy families

who'll think of you when they're bequeathing.

[modern string quartet music playing]

Beautiful space, isn't it?

-My father donated it. -[gasps]

Handpicked every piece of furniture.

Oh my gosh.

Gwendolyn Chou.

-I'm Ella. This is my daughter, Teagan. -Hi.

Hi.

Ah.

The new coxswain. I've heard about you from my son, Perry,

which means you must be the wife of that… hotelier.

[Teagan, quietly] Abort, abort.

You know what?

-Wife can be a loose association. -Would you excuse me?

[clears throat] Nice group of people.

Well, we tried.

[Hayden] How long do we have to be here?

[Lana] Just a couple of hours.

Goddamn parents' night.

You are so dramatic.

They're a bunch of hyenas.

-All these Karens. -Hey!

What? It's a gender-neutral term.

They just think I'm for sale, which I'm not.

You are overreacting. It's gonna be fine.

[woman] Coach Hayden.

I would love to chat with you about Ryder.

See?

-Bye. -Hey!

His summer rowing coach said he was going to make a call

-to the national team… -Thank you.

…to put Ryder on his radar.

-I can see why. Ryder's doing well. -I understand you're changing up stroke.

We're keeping our options open.

Of course. Oh, um…

Ryder mentioned that some of the ergs need repair.

Would a new set help you out?

You know what? That's a generous offer, but I'd have to run it by admin first.

Yeah.

-You enjoy your night. Yeah. -Thank you.

[Hayden sighs] Goddamn parents' night.

So how is it that you're not in stroke?

Coach has been "experimenting." It's only temporary.

It's an embarrassment, is what it is.

I'll get it back.

No. I will.

Where's Hayden?

Hi…

[laughing] Oh wow.

Okay, that was just ugly.

Ah…

-Here you go. -[whispers] Thank you.

Teagan. Teagan's mom.

Ella.

Wanna sign up for our parents' association?

-Mm-mm-mm. -Oh.

-No, thank you. -Um, where have you been?

I was gated. It's like house arrest, but the school is my house.

Cabrera also has me working tonight.

Ella, you look hot. Not like the drab moms.

Thank you. Not that it's helping our cred in this room.

Yeah, it turns out fancy people don't love it when your dad's a felon.

These Eagle's Cove elite actually love a scandal.

Helps them feel better about themselves.

If that's true, then… any attention is good attention.

-[Juliet] Hm? -Anybody seen the bar?

Huh.

-What's up, dude? -Hey, man.

-How's it going? -Good.

You guys just get here?

-Yeah, we did. -What's the deal with Josh and Ryder?

Oh, talk about scandals.

Josh's dad was the only heir to the Regis empire,

and then it came out that his father had an affair with the dog walker

and had a secret love child, Ryder's mom.

[Teagan] No way.

Josh and Ryder get along, but, well, rumor is,

Josh's side of the Regis family call Ryder's side the Egregiouses.

Yeah, so…

I haven't needed to drink this bad since the FBI raided my house.

[gasps] The FBI raided your house?

It was horrible.

They tore through the house, ruined the carpet,

and they took all my Birkins.

[gasps] I would've had a breakdown right there.

I need more Chardonnay just thinking about it.

-[gasps] -[giggling]

[Ella] If you'll excuse me.

Not bad.

Hm?

The Easton moms. You got them hanging on your every word.

Well played.

I don't think we've met.

We haven't. I'm Imogen.

So you're the woman whose husband ripped everyone off and is now on the lam.

Ah.

Yeah.

Still less dysfunctional than mine.

[chuckles]

The sins of the husband do not fall on the wife.

Welcome to the Easton circus.

-I should get back to my daughter. -You should.

And by the way, this?

Don't change a thing.

Hi.

Did you just scandalize your way into a scholarship?

I don't know, but I think I've made a new friend.

Thank you.

-Have you seen Hayden? -Mm.

Inside.

He's gone.

Thank you.

Better decide stroke seat before they start hunting in packs.

Ugh. I've been offered everything from a board seat at a tech start-up

to, I think, sexual favors.

Hm. Well, how lonely are you?

Mm.

[laughs] Seriously, though, who's it gonna be?

I dunno. I think I've got to take a chance.

Easton parents be damned.

Hey, Cam.

Coach, have you been hiding?

It's you. You're stroke.

Seriously?

You've earned it.

[laughs]

Thanks, Coach.

-[Richard] There you are. -I've been meaning to catch up with you.

Look, I understand you're on some sort of "everyone gets a turn" kick,

but enough's enough. You have a tried-and-true stroke seat here.

I've made my decision. You'll see it on the boat.

-Coach. Thanks. -Well, I am very…

Dad, look. I think we know who he picked.

It's gonna be good.

We'll see about that.

[upbeat music playing]

You nervous?

Course not. It's only if I lose this, I'll get kicked off the team,

and my rowing career will be over.

Wow, is it Bring Your Dad to Row Day?

Your dad's never missed a race.

-It's fine. I wouldn't want him here. -Well, no.

But I bet you'd want that In-N-Out Burger he always brought you.

-Mm. -Hey, new pregame tradition.

-Let's go. -What?

[soft music playing]

[Ella] It's a quiet spot, not far.

Growing up, I used to come here with a friend.

An Easton rower, actually.

[loon calling]

Always thought this place was kind of magical. Don't laugh.

[chuckles] I'm not. I like it.

I know your dad would have some kind of pep talk for you for race day.

I'm sorry I don't have anything, but be fast and don't fall in.

-That's good. -[announcer] Attendees.

-The alumni race will begin in 30 minutes. -Okay, I gotta go.

Okay.

All right. Break a leg or an oar.

Hey, there's been a change in plans, but I will make it up to you.

Okay, listen up.

Josh, you're back in stroke.

-Oh… -[Hayden] Cam in seven.

-Then Baloo, Quaid, and Ryder. -[rower] Nice.

Clean catches, and remember to use the full length of the stroke,

because if you do not, we will whoop your ass.

[all exclaiming]

See you out on the water.

Let's go. Hustle.

It was out of my hands.

Not like a coach'd make decisions for his boat.

Look, I get it, all right? I rowed with Josh's dad. It's not fair.

I'm a better rower. I deserve it.

Yeah, but so did I.

Easton wants to see a certain person in stroke.

They don't want a townie. They want someone the Easton crowd can follow.

So, not us.

[Cam exhales]

I'm going to the Olympics one day, Coach.

Do you think Josh is?

[tense music playing]

Don't screw this up. I got a lot riding on this.

I won't if you won't.

Two minutes to launch!

So what if your dads won the Haverford Cup?

[Richard] All eight, watch descent.

Over head! Hands across! Roll it in!

Right foot in! Lean!

On jump! One, two, jump!

Lean!

Are we screwed?

[Perry] Big time.

[Teagan] Okay. [clears throat]

I was thinking we start with a sprint,

drop down, then back up for the last 500 meters.

It's actually not a bad idea. Let's try it.

[intense dance music playing]

-Ready… row! -[horn blows]

-[Teagan] Steady. Give me five. -[cox] Long and strong.

[Teagan] Four.

-Three. -[cox] Okay, boys, find our rhythm.

[Teagan] All right, looking good here. Pull up the rate. Let's give it a sprint.

[intense music continues]

Good work! We're pulling ahead!

Okay, let's take it down two beats. Do it together.

Bring back!

Make it count. Come on!

[cox] Pick up the rate.

[Teagan] Win!

[cox] Close the gap. Sharp.

-Sharp! -Hey, let's go earlier!

-Not yet. They'll get scrambly! -I wanna go now!

Wait for my call! Don't push!

[Josh] I'm going! Pick it up, boys!

[Teagan] Josh!

You're off rhythm. Take it easy!

-[Quaid] Hey, wait up! -See?

[Noah] We're getting smoked.

-Starboard needs power. -[Crabcatcher] I can't keep up!

[Teagan] I told you they'd get scrambly. Now we're way behind.

-Pull! -[cox] The end's in sight.

Let's send it. One.

-Two. -Go, go now!

Legs! You want to lose to your dads? Pull!

[horn blows]

[boys groaning]

-[Perry] Ugh, come on. -[man] Eagle pride!

Yeah!

[men cheering]

Ugh!

-[men cheering and laughing] -[cox] Told you!

Good guys!

You should've called.

You should've waited.

[indie music playing]

♪ Woke up every day And I can feel it's always here ♪

[Richard laughing]

Looking good, crew.

Nothing like tradition, hm? Losers serve the winners.

You'll get them next time.

Oh, so stingy with the potato salad.

That's better.

-[Britney] Mm, no fish for me. -[Richard] Keep it coming.

Maybe next time you'll actually listen to me.

[scoffs] Like you weren't rushing the slide.

She's not wrong.

Catches were shit.

Excuse me?

Look, you're shit at coxing, and you know it. You should just quit.

Lay off her. We had a bad race. You don't have to cry about it.

[utensil clatters]

-Hey. -[rower] Whoa.

Thanks, uh…

Though I can stand up for myself, you know.

Oh, I'm well aware.

Maybe I should've listened to Josh. At least we would've been in sync.

You're not the first coxie to fight with your stroke seat.

Let it go.

It should've been you.

-Well, I guess Coach felt otherwise. -Well, he's wrong.

Ugh, potato salad.

You shouldn't have eaten so much, doofus. Iron Crucible in the morning.

It's not that bad, is it?

-Hey! Hi, Bronson. -Hello.

So, um, we need to talk about that pull pic.

It's cringe, and you're going to embarrass Mom.

Why? Is there something on my face?

Uh…

It's a tad… thirsty.

[laughs]

Okay.

You found your man. Let me find mine.

She's got elections coming up.

If Mom has a problem with it, she'll say something.

But she won't, because look how cute I am in this. Oh.

[Britney laughs]

-[Baloo] Who is this? -[Britney] Oh.

Okay. So he's hot. Whatever.

See, there's a method to my madness.

[Britney] If you're doing HIIT workouts…

Everyone! A few words.

[indistinct chatter]

To my fellow alumni.

-Eagle pride! -[alumni] Eagle pride!

We've got a big season ahead of us. This is the year we commit to each other.

-The year we… -…take down Westvale, huh? Hm?

[alumni cheering]

Whoo, yeah!

[all clapping and cheering]

All right. Everybody have fun tonight, but remember, don't stay up too late.

We've got the Crucible in the morning.

Carry on.

It's not exactly the message I was going for.

Competition needs a little bloodlust, Hayden.

You never liked that though. It's part of the way you coach.

Josh is in the stroke. You had your say.

What'd it take, by the way?

Oh, uh, Principal Cabrera's niece wanted an internship at Louis Vuitton.

Yeah. I made a call. I want to win, man. Don't you?

-You can't buy a championship. -Mm…

The sooner these guys understand that, the sooner we'll get back to winning.

[tense music playing]

[exhales]

Nothing appealing?

Ah, I just finished a three-hour lunch rush

serving clams, mussels, and scallops. So…

-You're mollusked out. -Yeah.

Hot tip. I tried some of that apricot jam from the dessert with the kielbasa.

Hm.

Mm… Mm!

Where did you learn that?

My husband owned a chain of boutique hotels.

-We had weddings and galas. -You're an event planner.

Not officially. I'm just, like, the wife of the boss.

But clients liked my ideas, and I liked planning their parties with them.

Your husband had money, but you had the taste.

Turns out he didn't even have the money,

-so… -[laughs]

Finding new party themes is hard. I mean, everything is so overdone.

The trick is to find something that's as unique as the client is.

Mm.

Like apricot kielbasa.

Are you busy two Saturdays from now?

James Bond-inspired casino night. Do you wanna come?

Talk about things being overdone. License to snooze, right?

It's actually my party.

-Oh. -For my son's birthday.

He's a big Bond fan.

-Yeah. -Okay.

Ah. Forgive me. I get verbal blah.

When I'm tired, or any time, actually.

-Wanna tell me about the party? -Oh, maybe another time.

[grunts]

Josh.

My first alumni race, I lost to your grandfather.

It's a rite of passage.

That anger you feel, that fire, that's the fuel you need to win.

[emotional music playing]

My second race, I beat him by a boat length.

[laughs]

You'll get us next year.

I expect nothing less.

[ominous music playing]

[Ella] Matt Hayden?

[laughs]

I heard you were back in town.

And yet no gift basket.

That was wrong of me. I will do better?

[Ella laughs]

[Ella] Still come here, huh?

Someone had to hold down the fort for the last 20 years.

You can't leave a view like this unlooked at.

Well, thanks for your service.

My pleasure. [chuckles]

-How you been? -Ah.

That's the question.

Wait, you really don't know. You didn't even think to google me?

-I'm… sad? -I'm not a screen guy.

Not like my daughter, Madison, who you'll meet sometime.

She's a teen with a lot of opinions.

-Teenagers are the worst. -Yeah, the worst.

-And it's just me. -Mm.

-Single parenting is impossible. -Mm-hmm.

I just live in constant fear that Teagan will hate me forever.

Teagan's your daughter. Right.

Of course. I should have known. That bullheadedness came from somewhere.

-Bullheaded? Me? -[laughing]

I never once managed to change your mind.

I'm glad you're back.

-You seem good. -I'm a shell of a woman.

Life is kicking my ass.

Come on.

You? The girl who got a second job to buy a car to drive to her first?

No, that girl knows how to survive.

Remember that, huh?

I remember all of it.

Hey.

A few of us are going for a dip. You wanna come?

[scoffs] No thanks, bruh. You've been coming at me all day.

What's the matter, your dad? He get you all riled up?

Don't talk to me about my family.

I'm a Regis too.

Or is that not convenient for you today?

I've always been there for you.

Your dad is such a dick to you.

And you just take it.

Yeah?

Well, your mom is a grasping, status-hungry leech.

How egregious.

-[grunts] -[rowers exclaiming]

[aggressive rock music playing]

Hey, stop!

[Baloo] Oh, shit.

[Cam] Guys. Guys, guys!

Guys, we're teammates!

[boy] Go, Ryder, go!

Guys, break it up!

[gasping]

-[Cam] Josh. Josh, don't, don't! -No, no, no, no, no! [screams]

[exhales]

[laughing] Oh.

-You jackass! -[yelling] Hey, you two! That's enough!

What a disgrace! Clambake's over! Crew, go home!

And when I see you tomorrow, I wanna see athletes, not children!

You got me?

Go!

[quiet, tense music playing]

[Cam] I don't think I've ever seen Coach that mad.

[Teagan] He can join the rest of the crew who's pissed at me.

[Cam exhales]

See you tomorrow.

Uh, I don't know, Cam. Look, I don't think I'm right for this team.

A team that wants to fight me isn't going to follow me.

That's too bad. You're better than the last cox we had.

Pisses off Josh so much.

Yeah, it really does.

[Teagan laughs softly]

I hope I see you at the race.

You're tough enough. They should know it.

Are you sure about this? It's 14 miles long.

Yeah, I got this.

[Cabrera] Welcome to the Iron Crucible!

Easton Prep was founded on a mission of unlocking every student's potential.

Your wristbands let you check in at each obstacle.

There's been a lot of bickering about the stroke seat.

So I'm going to make this fun.

Hey, do you know where my kid is right now?

They never tell you anything.

You just have to wait until your kid texts you that they're out.

No one ever finishes?

Some make it pretty far,

but the last obstacle, they hit the literal wall.

Hey, look, I'm, uh, sorry I was rude to you earlier.

You weren't.

You were being honest, and I got huffy because you were right.

Casino night has been done to death.

It's a classic for a reason. I'm sure it'll still be a good time.

I want it to be better than good.

I want it to be, "thanks his mom on the Internet" good.

It will be if I plan it.

You? [laughs]

You know what? I think that's a great idea.

So what's your usual budget? 100K and the fee is 15%?

[laughs]

Yes.

-Yes? -We can make that work.

Okay.

Ah!

[David] Teagan!

I can't do it Dad, it hurts too much. I have to stop, okay?

[David] But that's just the pain cave talking.

Your brain's telling your body to give up.

[laughs] And I agree.

[David] If you make it through the pain cave,

you'll find the only thing you need in life.

Yeah, what?

You'll find what you're made of.

Come on. You've got this.

[man] Well done, Josh!

[woman] Sweet, Josh!

[boy] Fuck, yeah!

You did it!

[boy 2] I told you, I told you!

You finished. Hasn't been done in six years. Good job.

Too bad you let your cousin finish first.

Uh-huh.

[boy] Only four?

[Hayden] We are the only team that had anybody finish.

Not just one, but four. I'm damn proud.

Ryder, Cam, Josh.

And you did it by following Teagan.

So try to remember that at our next practice.

Ryder. You're in stroke.

All right, let's hit the showers.

I'm gonna take you out for burgers and dogs. Let's go!

You proved yourself today. You figured out what motivates them.

Daddy issues and spite? [laughs]

And grit.

[both laughing]

Yeah, I guess I got that from my dad.

You coming to dinner?

-Thanks, but I'm gonna hang with my mom. -I'll see you at practice.

El, it was nice catching up with you.

So you two know each other?

Yeah.

He was the rower you used to know.

Yes, he was.

-Ah. Were you more than friends? -No, we were not.

[Teagan] Mm-hmm.

Oh, you gotta tell me how you finished that race. That's crazy.

Uh…

It was something that Dad taught me.

It's weird. Everything wrong in our lives right now is… his fault.

But…

Yeah, he's the one that got me through.

[emotional music playing]

Delayed onset muscle soreness is a cruel mistress.

What's all this?

This is a mood board for a birthday party.

I have my first client as an event planner.

Have you ever planned an event before?

I've done tons of behind-the-scenes stuff.

I think I can handle one birthday party for a teenage athlete.

Besides, this is gonna cover your tuition for the term.

[doorbell rings]

That's my clients. Please pretend you respect me.

Did you say athlete?

What sport?

-Mom, It's fine. -I just put cover-up on that.

No.

Teagan.

Aren't you gonna let us in?
