Lily Park?

Eddie Duran.

Would you like something to drink? No.

Okay. We can go straight to business if you want to go straight to business. Why

did you call me here, Lily?

Do you know something?

If I did, would you be willing to talk about it on camera?

All right. Wait.

I know something that you don't about your mother's death.

What do you want?

I wanted to see that beautiful smile in person.

I am sick of these games, Tyler.

Really? That doesn't sound like you.

You love games.

I don't think you could live without them, actually.

You don't know anything about what I want.

Now, that's true.

So? So, I was wondering if you made a decision about going back to Fresno.

I have made a decision.

Really? Does that mean you're going to stay and I'm going to have to tell the

world that you killed Katie Duran?

I didn't kill her. It was an accident.

That'll be for the world to decide.

Fine. Fine, Tyler. You win.

So it is a game, and I win.

Wow, this is a really good day for me. Yeah.

I'll go back to Fresno.

Mom.

Hi. What are you doing? Nothing.

You're holding my phone.

I'm holding your phone. Uh, that is true.

Well, what were you looking at?

Um, you got another mystery text.

Oh, what was it?

I'm sorry, honey.

It's such an invasion of privacy. It was just, it beeped and it was sitting there

and I saw it and I just... What did it say?

Um, you have such amazing talent. You did shut up the sky just like I knew you

could. Oh my God, you wrote back. Okay, I can explain.

It's you, isn't it?

What?

What does that mean?

Who do you think this is?

Which question do you want me to respond to first?

Mom, what's going on?

Okay, see, that's another question. I'm starting to get a little confused.

Why would you text this back?

Because whoever this is, he or she is clearly bad news. I just wanted to, you

know, chase him away.

Why don't I believe you right now?

Well, you should.

Lawrence, I know people, and I know that whoever this is should not, I mean, he

should reveal himself or herself.

Mom, what are you telling me?

I can't do it.

I can't set up a meet with Colorado.

Why not? You need to do this, Phil. You don't understand.

It's too late to lie to him about what happened.

He already knows that I got caught by Dr. Masters.

And exactly how does he know that?

I don't know. I didn't tell him. But on the phone, he said that he knew I got

caught by the doctors. Look, you must have been there the whole time staking

the place out. No, that's not possible. I had guys there. Phil's lying.

That's not fair.

I'm not lying. Maybe your guys didn't see Colorado.

but he'd have to be inside the clinic to see me and Dr. Don.

Is that even possible?

It's a small place.

Maybe. Okay, there is another explanation.

I'm dying to hear this. I'm not.

I'm ready for all this nonsense to just end.

How many times are we going to stand here talking instead of fixing it? It is

going to end tonight.

It will, Mom. I'm sorry.

I'm still waiting on that explanation.

Okay, what if Dr. Masters called Colorado and told him everything? Dr.

Masters. Why would he do that?

I don't know.

Phil?

Why would he do that?

What do you want, Ellie?

Hey, Don. How's it going?

How's it going? You've got to be kidding me right now. We have nothing left to

say. No, no. There's no need to be so confrontational.

Once upon a time, we were intimate.

Not anymore.

But I heard you were back on the market.

I thought I'd just give you a call. I'm hanging up. I wouldn't recommend that.

I wouldn't blackmail me if I were you.

You can't win.

Blackmail? It's such an ugly word.

I mean, after all the things that we've been through, it's so sad that it's come

to this, but blackmail it is.

What do you want? I want my money.

How many times do I have to tell you that?

I told you.

I'm working on it.

No, actually, the last time we spoke, you just called me a bunch of nasty

names, but... Yeah, okay, you're working on it. I don't have the money.

Well, I need it. By tomorrow night.

I don't have it.

I can't just make it appear.

Well, honey, how you get it isn't my problem.

But I know that if you don't get it, I will be on the phone with the press and

my lawyer.

Hello?

I'll get your money. See?

Now we don't have a problem.

By tomorrow.

See how easy this can be done.

Good night, Ellie.

No, I'm sorry, honey. I just was hoping this would pass and we wouldn't have to

talk about it.

Talk about what?

The mystery texter.

I think it might be your father.

What?

Why would he think that? He had a very particular way of expressing himself.

Shine up the sky, it was the name of a poem he wrote when we were 18.

Dad wrote poetry?

He never told me that.

His poems weren't very good.

He must have thought there was something good about them.

I want to read them. What makes you think I still have them?

Because you're Nora Tate?

I mean, some people keep scrapbooks and you keep archives.

I know you kept them.

Even if they were from Dad.

I hate that.

You hate that I want to read the poems? I mean, I'm just curious. No, no, I just

hate hearing you call him Dad. I mean, that is a sound... That is the term of

endearment for someone who raises you, not for someone who makes a beeline for

the exit with the first chance he gets.

Well, I don't know what else to call him. I know, I know.

It's not your fault.

What do you think I should do?

It depends. I mean, do you...

Want to know for sure if it's him?

I don't know.

Do you want to know what he wants? Do you want to know why he's contacting

you?

Do you know why he's contacting me? No, I don't know.

Do you really not know, or are you just not telling me? I really don't know.

I mean, maybe, I don't know, maybe he wants something from you, or maybe he

wants to make some stupid, stupid attempt at being a parent.

It could be anything.

There's probably only one way to find out.

Don Masters is a very successful surgeon.

Why would he be talking to some lowlife? It doesn't make any sense. Does Dr.

Masters even know who Colorado is, Phil?

I don't know.

I mean... Tell the truth, son. There's no time for games.

I told Adriana's father that I was forced to steal drugs from the clinic.

So that's how he knows who Colorado is. Don is running a scam. I'm telling you,

I never trusted that guy.

Okay, that doesn't sound realistic either. He has plenty of money.

Why would he need to sell drugs? Does it make any sense that our son was doing

these things?

He's right about that. You'd be surprised the type of people I see

committing criminal acts. You never know what's going on in somebody's personal

life. Phil, can you think of any reason why Don would be involved in something

like this? No.

I mean, no. What was that hesitation right there?

This is very frustrating, Phil. You're telling us everything, right?

Please.

After everything you've put us through, you can do that for our family.

I guess.

Adriana did say something about her dad having some financial problems, but I

don't know how bad it is. Look, he's using the robbery as an opportunity.

I'm going to call my guys and see if there's been any movement.

What is going on in this so-called family?

Mel, now is not a good time.

Really? You want to keep more secrets from me? To protect you.

The less you know about what's going on right now, the better. It's true, Mel.

Wait, I'm sorry, which secret are we talking about now? These are my issues.

Which I need to take care of right now, okay? You shouldn't be involving

yourself.

You don't deserve this.

None of you do.

You know, I want to believe that sweet little speech.

It's sincere. Yeah, but it's hard to believe anything you say after

everything you've pulled.

This is probably just some new con.

How much danger are you putting us in? I'm trying to get us out of it, okay?

But, yeah, it could get bad.

Your father was stabbed.

How much worse is it going to get, Phil?

What? No. He put your life in jeopardy, and he doesn't even seem like he cares.

Of course he cares.

Mel, listen to me. No, there is no more listening.

Mel, honey, I got a distress call from Lauren. I got to go.

Mel. I got it.

Who was behind the wheel of the car that killed my mom?

Look, I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I know that, but I don't.

But I have been talking to people about your mother's accident, but only because

I want to talk to you about doing a story in loving memory.

A story?

Yeah, the effects of loss on young stars, how it shapes their lives, their

music. I think this could be a really cathartic experience for you.

And in the process, maybe we'll get a scoop on what actually happened that

night. Why would I want to do a story with you? And about that, of all things?

Okay, look, I understand why you would be cautious about this.

But I think this could be a beautiful story for you and for your mother's

memory. No, no, no. You don't know my mom.

You have no right to talk about her. Okay, look, I'm sorry.

I can't even imagine what it'd be like to... As a part of this story, I will

dig deeper than any cop would to find out what actually happened that night.

You know something, don't you?

I don't.

But I have connections.

Connections that can help explore things the cops might have missed.

Seems... Awfully deep for a Lily Park piece.

I'm growing as a person.

No, you mean you're growing into a person.

Look, Eddie, we're all changing.

Okay, your new album is in a totally different direction.

And I support that.

Just like you should support me by doing this story about your mom.

Well, how about this?

I do the piece, but with a different journalist.

One who doesn't have a history of screwing me over.

Come on, I've always treated you fairly. Oh, really?

Hmm.

That's not how I remember it.

Eddie, the relationship between a journalist and a rock star has never

been easy. I mean, haven't you seen Almost Famous? Oh, God.

Lily, you knew that the topic of my mother was off-limits for me.

And you're still going after it anyway.

Okay, look, I'm not perfect.

But I am relentless when I think of stories. What's the story?

Tell me.

What is it?

Well, then let's do it and find out together.

I don't believe you.

It's true. I'll leave next week.

But do you want to know why I'm leaving?

I already know. You don't want your secret to get out.

No. It's because I have nothing left here.

It's clear to me that you don't care about me. You obviously don't love me. I

lost Eddie.

And you're angry, and I have no idea what you're capable of. What I'm capable

of?

You're making me sound like a terrible person.

How do you live with yourself?

All right, let me tell you something, babe.

Okay, not only were you behind the wheel, but you've been lying to yourself

about everything that's going on between us.

I loved you, Chloe, and you loved me too, but you decided to chase after the

money instead.

You chose the fame and the lavish lifestyle over love.

And now you've got to leave.

Yeah, fine.

I will leave. I will go.

But get out.

Because once I go to Fresno, I will never have to see you again.

Cool. Have a good trip and life.

Wait.

What?

You miss me already?

No. Before I leave, there's one thing that you have to do, and you know what

it is.

Oh, right.

Tell Lily that I made all this up.

That Chloe Carter's not a killer.

And that this is just one of my schemes.

You were in that car, too. You could go to jail for covering it up.

I don't think so.

Tyler, please.

Just tell Lily that you said it because you were mad at me and you were hurt.

Tell her I had nothing to do with the accident.

So what do you want to do?

I don't know.

I mean, I... I have so many questions for him.

Okay.

I mean, I have a lot of questions for him, too, now that you mention it.

But I just, I just don't want to see you get hurt.

I already hurt, Mom.

I don't like the timing of this either.

I mean, you just start to succeed, you put your name out there, and he shows

up?

You want me to stay away from him?

I want you to do whatever you feel comfortable doing.

I don't know what I feel comfortable doing.

And you never thought about finding him before?

I thought about it, but I never acted on it.

I mean, you never did an internet search for Trent McCall?

No. Why not?

Honestly?

I thought you'd be mad.

Honey, no.

No, never.

I just... I will help you if you want to find him.

I'll do anything I can. I really mean that.

Well, you introduced me to him, Brian, so you're somewhat culpable here.

I thought I had the money lined up, but it fell through.

This Nick guy, he means business. You're telling me there's nothing you can do?

Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a big boy and I made my own choices, but I'm out of

options.

Thanks for your help, Brian.

What are you doing?

Spying on me in my home, Adriana?

It's very inconsiderate of you.

Okay, calm down. I was just standing there. I wasn't spying on you or

whatever you're accusing me of.

I'm going out, so I'll see you later.

What were you yelling about on the phone?

Doctor stuff.

Yeah, it sounded really doctor-y. Well, I run a clinic, you know.

Sometimes negotiations get complicated.

Yeah, well, if you're in trouble, I might be able to help.

You've made it clear.

It's none of my business when you're in trouble.

So I'm sorry, Adriana.

But I can't deal with you right now.

I'll never win with you, will I?

No matter what I do, you will never care about me and my problems.

You only care about you. It's always about you, the great Dr.

Masters.

I don't want to say hurtful things. I'm not proud of it. Then stop.

I'm talking about earlier.

I said I'm not proud of who you are as a person. It's not what I believe. Look at

me.

I see you.

And I know I'm doing wrong by you.

I love and care about you very much, even if my actions don't always show it.

I want to fix so much between us.

But I'm afraid it might be too late.

I'll be home as soon as I can.

It must make you crazy not knowing the truth.

Either way, she's gone.

The driver was driving a blue car, which they never found.

We know that.

Okay, that's not exactly breaking news.

Well, I'm sorry, Eddie. That's all I have.

That's your big lead?

It's a start.

You are wasting my time. Look, I can't even imagine what it must feel like to

not know who killed your mother. If there was some way we could find out, I

would help you. Hey, I want you out of my club.

Right now.

My club, my rules.

Get out before I have you thrown out and never back in again.

Max, I just... I was just leaving.

Call me if you change your mind. I won't.

Hey, Ruth.

What you doing?

Scribbling yourself a new song?

Yeah, I'm not scribbling a song.

You sound chipper.

Yeah, these are fun times at the Sanders house.

Cops interrogating Phil, my fake parents freaking out.

Why wouldn't I be in a good mood?

Want to talk about it?

No, please, please, please, let's not.

What is going on with you? What's got you all fired up?

Uh... Just have some family problems to deal with. It's Bill.

It's my dad.

What?

Yeah, he's the mystery texter.

He stole Cal Blue 89?

Yeah, according to my mom.

Wait, your mom talks to your dad?

No, no. I mean, I haven't seen him in like 14 years.

So then how does she know it's him?

Just the way he talks, what he's been saying.

You mean shine up the sky? It was the name of a poem that he wrote my mom a

long time ago.

That's creepy.

I know, right? It's like he's been watching me.

No, no, no. Not that. I just think it's creepy when guys write poems for girls.

It's not creepy.

It's cute. But let's not quibble. Oh, okay.

Anyway, wait. So why is he contacting you now? And why like that?

I don't know.

I mean, my mom thinks that maybe he wants money or to ride my coattails if I

make it big. Excuse me.

He's a coattailer?

No, no, no, no. That's my thing. I'm going to write your coattails all the

way to the top. I know. You're not going to have any competition with that.

I won't let him.

But he started this, like, a while ago.

Long before you were more in Tate. I mean, this started back when you had,

like, 26 Twitter followers, right?

Well, either way, I just, I don't know what he wants.

And to be honest, I don't think I want to know.

You should text him back.

And let him know that you know it's him.

My mom already did that.

He doesn't deserve you.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

The dad is there all the time, not just when it's convenient.

Kind of like Gus?

Yes, like Gus.

Like my dad.

Thanks. I knew you'd help me sort this all out.

You were there for me through this whole thing.

I'm going to be there for you.

I know.

It's kind of weird if you think about it.

You've got this dad who wants back in your life out of the blue, and I've got

a bio mom who wants nothing to do with me.

Maybe we should hook them up.

See, this is exactly why I needed to talk to you.

I thought you wanted my advice.

Well, yeah, but I wanted you to make me laugh, too.

Excuse me, Lauren. I'm not your personal entertainment committee.

No, that's exactly what you are. It's part of the coattail agreement. Fair

enough. Do you want my real advice?

Yeah.

I had to talk to Beth.

I had to have a conversation with her.

I had to have her acknowledge what she did.

How'd that work out?

She ran away.

And I was miserable.

I still got some of that misery coursing through my veins, but I am glad I had

that conversation.

I'm glad I did it.

Why is she hounding you?

It's not like that.

Then what is it?

I called her first.

Why would you do that? You like that woman even less than I do. Because I

wanted to talk to her about Mom's death.

I thought you dropped that idea. I know, but I can't.

Why? Because I feel like there's more to the official story, and I want to know.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why? Don't you want to know the truth as much as I do?

No, what I would want is for your mom to be with us, but she's not, so I think

you should drop this. Okay, but what about justice?

Okay, what about holding the person that killed her responsible?

That's not up to you and me.

Yeah, but what if the truth's right around the corner?

I don't think I can relit this, eh?

Neither can I.

Okay, but maybe we should.

What's this, our last cocktail together?

I got your favorite tequila.

That's so thoughtful of you.

A toast to you.

For what?

For finally busting me.

Are you happy with yourself?

I am.

You know, I'm not happy how things turned out, though.

And I'm not happy that you threw your life away for Eddie.

But I am happy that you're leaving town because it ruined you.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Just wondering how long it'll take for those sleeping pills that I put in your

drink to kick in.

You wouldn't.

Wouldn't I?

Good night, Tyler.

Just wanted to say goodnight and I miss you and I wish we were together right

now.

I'll be up for another hour or so if you get bored and want to call.

I need to take this. Who is it?

It's Adriana.

Make it quick.

Hey, where are you? My dad is acting weirder than ever.

You sound like you're driving. Why are you driving?

I'm following him. He left the house carrying a bag of, I don't know what,

drugs? Money?

That is not a good idea. Do not follow your father.

Just go to bed.

Phil.

You didn't hear him, okay? He was talking to me like I've never heard him

before. Like, this was the last time I was going to talk to him or something.

Okay, I need to know where he's going.

I feel like he might be in serious trouble.

He's probably going to see Colorado.

Why? No, why would he do that?

Ada, I'm telling you straight here.

Go home.

Do not involve yourself in this.

Okay, no, you're wrong about my dad, okay? He's messed up, but not Colorado

messed up.

Then why are you following him?

I'm going to prove you wrong.

We'll see.

Ada, do you... Hello?

Are you afraid of someone?

No, are you?

It's Eddie.

And he has flowers.

Can I let him in? Yes, yes. I'm going to go to bed. Just don't do anything I

wouldn't do. Okay.

I was in the neighborhood.

No, you weren't.

No.

I was going to call you back, but I thought I could do better.

Hi, Nora.

Hi.

I was telling Nora I'm going to bed, but there's beautiful flowers.

I'm glad you like them. Yeah, here, let me put them in the shower.

Come in, come in.

What are you doing here?

Surprising you for no good reason.

Is that...

Romantic or annoying?

Well, I would have been on the fence about it.

You brought me flowers, so I guess that's pretty romantic.

I don't think a guy's ever brought me flowers before.

What is wrong with these guys?

Well, they're beautiful.

Thank you.

So my mom thinks they're for her.

He never said who they were for.

Good night, you guys.

Good night.

So...

What do you want to do now that we're alone?

I just want to be with you and forget about everything else.

What do you mean?

What's going on?

Nothing. It's just been a bit of a strange night.

Wow. For me, too.

Yeah?

What's going on?

You go first.

No. You're a guest in my house.

You first.

Okay. Okay.

So I was at the MK club with Lily Park.

Why?

She's been nosing around at my mom's accident.

That's awful.

Yeah. Ghoulish. What does she want to know?

Well, they never caught the guy who did it.

And she's trying to convince me that she might know who did it.

Why would she know that?

I don't think she does.

I think it's a trick.

She's trying to get me on camera and ambush me with something that's going to

agitate me.

She's done it before.

You're next, you know?

For what?

The media.

Once you're a name on their radar, they attack.

I don't think my name is on anyone's radar.

I think you're wrong about that.

It's happening fast for you, you know?

As fast as it did for me.

Well... I don't have any skeletons in my closet, so I think I'll be okay.

Actually, it's not true.

I don't want to talk about that.

Okay? Okay.

Have you thought more about the Kelly situation?

It's actually been stressing me out, but... But?

I've made the decision to go with her.

Okay.

What did it for you?

I mean, she's believed in me before anybody else did, before Jake did.

I think she really understands my music and my potential.

Did I really just say that?

Yes, you did. You shouldn't be embarrassed about saying that. You have

a world of potential.

So you think I'm making the right decision?

If you think it's right, then yes.

But there's a reservation.

No, I, uh... I just don't...

100% trust Kelly yet, but I'm not going to be the one she's managing.

Eddie, just say it.

No, I just... Look, she sees a star, you know, but I don't know if it's exactly

who you are.

You think she's trying to change me?

All the music and the clothes, you know, that should all be you.

You understand?

You know, she should trust your instincts as much as she trusts her own.

Are you taking your own advice?

The record label... What?

Doesn't like my new songs?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll find a label that does, because it's my music.

It's not theirs. They're just the distributor.

Good for you.

Mm-hmm.

So, if you are sticking with Kelly and I'm going back into the studio, it's

going to be a busy few weeks coming up.

And I'm probably going to have homework.

Mm-hmm.

So we're not going to have much time for each other.

I miss you already. No, stop.

We'll be fine.

We have all the time in the world.

Oh, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry.

No, no, no. It's okay.

I was just going to head out.

I just wanted to come over and surprise my girl.

Good night. Good night. Lauren.

Good night, Eddie.

Nora. Good night, Eddie.

Good night. Good night.

You stay. That was

so all-American.

Wholesome. Two kids just hanging on the couch, holding hands.

It wasn't rock star-y at all.

Okay, you sound disappointed.

Yeah, a little.

I thought you wanted to catch a boy here so you could chase him out of the house,

huh?

Yeah, yeah, I look forward to that. But I don't think I'm going to be chasing

Eddie out, mostly because I'd have to answer to his dad.

You know, I'm really, really happy that you're seeing Eddie.

Yeah?

Why is that?

It just makes you happy.

Yeah, we're just taking it one day at a time.

You know what we were talking about earlier?

Did you, um, did you get my poems?

I did. Thank you.

Did you read them?

No, not yet.

But, I mean, there is a connection there, Mom. I mean, he wrote poems and I

write lyrics. Yeah, yeah, there's a connection.

But I'm not thinking about getting in contact with him at all, if that's what

you're worried about. No, I'm not.

I'm not worried.

I mean, if you want to get in touch with him, that is your choice.

He didn't want anything to do with me, so why would I want anything to do with

him?

Bye.

Is that what it looks like?

Are you actually using me as an excuse to sneak out a window? You are so

pathetic. Says the girl who's always eavesdropping on her family.

Maybe I wouldn't need to eavesdrop if somebody told the truth around here.

Just don't think out and tell Mom and Dad, okay?

What is wrong with you?

How much trouble can one kid bring out of school?

I'm not a kid. You're a kid.

Foot walks like a kid and talks like a kid.

Real mature, Mel.

What are you doing, Phil?

Trying to get Dad stabbed again?

I told you it's not what it looks like, okay? I'm actually doing the right thing

for once.

I'm sorry. You're trying to do the right thing by lying and sneaking out a

window. You don't have to believe me. It's fine, okay? But it's true.

It's for Adriana.

She needs my help.

Adriana needs a lot more than your help. She's in a situation.

Mal, I have to go.

Tell me the truth.

Is she the reason you started stealing in the first place?

No. I don't believe you.

It's true. Look, you don't know her, okay? She's been through a lot lately.

What has she been through, Phil?

Living in a big house with her rich dad.

Treating everyone like dirt.

This all ends tonight.

I promise.

Like the boy who cried wolf.

It's over. It's over.

Why should we trust anything you say anymore?

Do what you have to do.

But I'm sneaking out for Adriana.

I would do it for you too.

So don't add on me.

Long time no see.

Listen,

I'm just really worried about you. I just want to make sure that we're

actually talking about this.

I'm fine. I swear.

Are you upset that I told you that SoCal Blue was your father?

I'm not upset. I'm just curious.

I mean, he's your father, you know? And if you want to get to know him, it's up

to you.

But you don't think I should?

I don't want to talk to him.

But I would never think of keeping you from doing that.

I'm going to text him back.

Okay.

Busted. You've reached the voicemail of the report.

Leave your tips here.

Lily, it's Eddie.

Hey, I want to finish our conversation from earlier, so if you could, I'd like

to meet tomorrow morning.

Let me know.

I'm so not excited to wake up this early tomorrow.

I guess that's just my life now.

What do you have tomorrow besides school?

Well, I called Kelly and told her that I would keep her as my manager because

she's not going to leave Jake's company anymore.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah, that's great, but it means I can't go to school tomorrow because she has

back-to-back meetings set up for me. I mean, I'm meeting music producers and

publicists and personal stylists because apparently no one believes that my

personal style will hold up. Well, that's really exciting.

I mean, not the part about missing school.

I'm not trusting your personal style, but all the other stuff.

Are you sure you're okay with it?

Just one day, but... Yeah, no, as long as it's just one day.

I mean, by this time next week, I could be in the studio recording my first

album. Wow.

Wow. I know.

Do you have enough material to be recording next week?

Uh, let's see.

When do you have time to be writing all that stuff?

What do you think I'm doing when I'm here all day?

I'm so proud of you.

Thanks. That means a lot, Mom.

I love you, Lauren.

I love you, too, Mom.

Go to sleep.

Okay.

Conley, you read me?

Yep.

There's a grain pourer stopped in the back area of the shop.

Got him.

What the hell is he doing?

Hey, you.

Hi.

You yourself?

I am sorry about all the commotion around here tonight.

It's not your fault.

Just one of Phil's many innocent victims.

Come on.

Sit with me for a sec.

How you holding up?

In what way?

Secret mom thing? Yeah.

I'm fine.

No bigs. Melissa.

Just trying to wrap my head around it all.

It's a lot to take in.

I'm sorry that you have to.

I wish we could have just given you a normal high school life.

Maybe there isn't such a thing.

Maybe. Yeah.

It's got to be something more normal than this. Yeah, I agree.

Thanks, Dad.

Thanks for, uh... for not calling me Gus.

This parenting thing is easy. I do not know what people are complaining about.

I don't know. Who knows?

Speaking of parenting... Okay, so...

Although I think Phil is the scourge of the earth, I'm legitimately worried

about him.

Oh, me too.

Which is why I need to tell you something.

Uh-oh.

He is so not in his room right now. What?

He was clearly lying to you.

He said he needed to sneak out to go help Adriana, whatever that means.

Wait. It's just never over with this kid.

Okay.

What are you doing? Saving your ass. Why?

What do you think of your daughter?
