- The weather today in Sacramento is sunny

with a forecasted high of 71 degrees.

Alexa, play a song about Sacramento, California.

I don't know any songs about Sacramento, California.

- The parks department finally cleaned

the bat guano off the Hollywood sign

and returned it to its original orange color.

- Sorry I'm late. - Good morning, Mr. Mayor.

How was your weekend?

- Oh, I had a fantastic weekend with Orly.

We went to Huntington Gardens for the honey festival.

- So nice.

Okay, uh, where was I?

- They have this thing where you get to decorate

a little tote bag,

and then you get to keep the tote bag.

- Your life is a movie, sir. - Next item.

Uh, this is a heat map of violent crimes and--

Sir, you're AirPlaying your phone.

- I know.

I wanna show everybody a picture of the tote bag.

- Ooh, a bee apartment.

- Okay, uh, other items while we wait.

Deputy Mayor Meskimen and Mr. Kwapis

will be driving up to Sacramento

to present our anti-oil-drilling initiative.

- Los Angeles has over a thousand drilling sites,

many within a hundred yards of schools and homes.

I was pleasantly shocked

when Mayor Bremer agreed with my plan--

- Oil's dumb.

We're California.

We should be leading the way on this stuff.

Solar power, wind, fire power--

Is that a thing? 'Cause fires we got.

- If I can convince the governor

to prioritize the health of our communities--

- Oh, there it is. [chuckles] Tote bag.

- Oh, she is majestic.

- [laughs] [cell phone ringing]

Wait, what's happening?

- I think your daughter's school is calling.

- It's a phone call, sir. - Oh, yeah. Hello.

- You have to turn your phone off AirPlay, sir.

- No, the screen is the phone now.

Hello. Mayor Bremer here.

- Hello? Can you hear the mayor?

- Suspended? That doesn't sound like Orly.

All right. I'll be right there.

- Sir?

Sir, quick question. - Not now, Jayden.

- I'm scared to be in a car with Ms. Meskimen.

- You'll be fine.

- But the trip is six hours, sir,

and I don't know what we're gonna talk about.

- Jayden, how am I the one you're asking about this?

- You're the only one I can walk as fast as.

- Ask her questions about herself.

People love talking about themselves.

- Great. What kind of questions?

- I don't know-- uh, icebreakers,

conversation starters.

You know, Google it, for crying out loud.

- Will do.

And somebody turned on the long legs.

[panting]

- Here at Gregory, we take online behavior

as seriously as we do sock height.

And it seems Orly is part of a group

that was using social media to bully a teacher.

- Can children bully adults?

'Cause in my day,

teachers could hit us with a closed fist.

[foot thumps] Ow.

- Allow me to read a few of the offending comments.

"Ms. Adams is like if the water

at the top of a yogurt were a person."

"Ms. Adams took a DNA test.

Turns out, she's 100% russet potato."

- [laughs] Like the song.

No, of course. That's--that is terrible.

- But my posts are all defending Ms. Adams.

Guys, stop.

I think it's feminist

that she dances alone at our formals.

You're wrong.

It's so brave that she brought her gerbils on Family Day.

If Ms. Adams were a man, society would praise her

for having a front bulge in her pants.

- That's enough, Orly.

- Sorry, Ms. Adams.

- You're Ms. Adams?

Is what I tell people, 'cause I know that.

Look, Ms. Adams, Orly was just being kind.

Don't you think the other girls are to blame here?

- Fair enough.

Orly, you are not suspended.

- [sighs] Thank you, Ms. Adams. - Oh.

Yes, thank you, Ms. Adams, and can I just say,

I love what you're doing with the white stripe.

- Don't. - Oh, yes.

I was touched by a ghost.

- Yup. Well, um, goodbye.

I knew I didn't have to worry about you.

You're a good kid. Proud of you.

- Since I'm such a good kid, can I have money

to go to the movies with Ceviche later?

- [chuckles] What are you guys seeing?

- "Stab Massacre 2."

- "Stab Massacre 2"?

No way.

Scary movies give you nightmares.

You remember when the guy in front of you on the plane

was watching "It"

and then we had to cancel your birthday party?

Come on. - Okay, fine.

But I'm keeping the hundo.

- What's your favorite salty food?

- Bran flakes.

They have more sodium than you think.

- What do you value most in a friendship?

- Mutual respect, sacrifice,

- Wow, you gave all your answers so fast.

- I think it's important

to know your stance on everything.

- Well, I got the best kid in all of Los Angeles.

- That's great, sir.

We have a budget meeting in two minutes.

- A bunch of girls were making fun of a potato teacher

on Instagram media,

but Orly was saying nice things in her postings.

- Huh, I follow Orly on Instagram,

and she hasn't posted anything about any teachers.

- Really? - Mm.

- Sir, did you happen to catch the screen name on her post?

By the circle, sir.

- Uh, something with a P. I don't--

- Mm, the account she gave me is OrlyBGrammin.

- [gasps] She has a Finsta. - What's a Finsta?

- Um, it's just an account that kids make

under a fake name so they can post silly things

they don't want their parents to see.

- I wanna see it. Tell her to let me see it.

- Uh, bad idea, sir. A little separation is healthy.

- Orly and I don't have secrets.

I read her the American Girl Doll puberty book.

It was so gross, but I did it.

When she told me her celebrity crush,

I stood with her in the front row

of a Shawn Mendes concert.

Everyone thought I was a pedophile.

- I know, but we really have to figure out this budget, sir.

Apparently, the city's Discover card

has hit its limit,

and some bitch is calling, like, every day.

- Uh...

- Don't listen to her, Mr. Mayor.

Finstas ruin lives.

My sister's cousin had a Finsta,

and pictures of her in her bra

got turned into a devastating meme about sadness.

- How's your sister's cousin not also your cousin?

- Sir, you're missing the point.

You need to know what Orly's posting

before she embarrasses the city.

- So true.

For the city.

- What's your greatest fear?

- Holes, clusters of holes.

- What? - It's called trypophobia.

Basically, when I see a cut-open pomegranate

or an empty "Connect 4" grid,

to my mind, it looks like diseased flesh.

I almost fainted today when Neil showed that...honeycomb.

[harp glissando] - Ooh, a bee apartment.

You think Bremer did that to mess with me?

He could have access to my psychological evaluation.

Showed you a bunch of holes?

Just a bunch of close-together holes?

- I told Mikaela I had to step out

to take an important call.

What? My handyman is dead?

How's it going?

- Okay, so I cross-referenced Orly's public profile

with her friends and who they follow,

then narrowed it down to just the privates:

@MzAdamsIzGross, @SpudHag--

- @PearlSquirrel05. That's Orly.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Her middle name is Pearl, she was born in 2005,

and her Harry Potter animal is a squirrel.

Man, I feel like an NCIS. - Great.

Okay, so our next step is to make our own fake account

so that we can get in with these girls.

What should our name be? - Nancy.

- No one under 60 is named Nancy.

You really distracted me from my nerves about tomorrow.

- You are super welky.

It was a pleasure breaking ice with you.

- Bye.

- Hey.

You wanna meet up in a little bit,

maybe get some dinner

and take the "Lady Bird" walking tour?

- As long as it's not as scary as the movie.

Wow. [chuckles]

You're not gonna believe it, but just this morning,

that lady and I barely knew each other.

But now I know that her biggest regret in life

is that she accidentally clapped

when the "Challenger" exploded.

And it's all because of these icebreakers I downloaded.

- Where'd you get 'em?

I'm always looking for new ways to seem normal.

- Mm, I just searched "icebreakers,"

and I found 78Questions.com.

"The 78 questions you ask someone

when you want to fall in love."

Oh, boy.

- Okay. We need to talk.

I know that it got heavy in the car,

but, ma'am, don't fall in love with me.

- What? - I just found out

that those questions were designed

to make people fall in love,

and when you shared with me that your ideal man

was '80s James Brolin, frankly, I got worried.

- We are not in love, Mr. Kwapis.

And you, sir,

are no "Amityville Horror" James Brolin.

- Technically, that's '79, but whatever.

Cool.

It's just that I think that we are better off

as really good friends.

- We are not even friends.

Friends have a shorthand.

Friends make sacrifices for each other

and have a deep understanding.

I don't think we're understanding each other

at all in this moment, do you?

- I mean, sure, I could eat.

.

- Sir, we're in.

Orly accepted Emma's request.

- What are you finding? Vapes?

Tattoos?

- It's actually mostly just selfies.

What I'm looking for is red-flag slang in the captions.

So "smash" means hooking up.

"Dexing" is abusing cough syrup.

"GOW" is "gay on the weekends."

Seven 8s in a row is a human centipede.

- No, what--what's boron? Is that a drug?

She says she's finally done with this boron nightmare.

- I think she's just bragging about finishing

her chemistry project early.

- What's "TFW"? - "That feeling when."

- That feeling when your dad drags you to Huntington Gardens

for the millionth time.

But why is it a picture of a sloth giving the middle finger?

She loves it when I take her there.

- Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry about your handyman, but--

Wait.

Why did you slam your laptop shut when I came in?

- What? We're studying.

- Are you on Instagram?

- Tommy felt it was important to access

Orly's private account for security reasons.

- So we are Emma, a junior at Marlborough.

We do orchestra. We're confident but not cocky.

- You helped the mayor create a fake account

impersonating a teenage girl?

Where did you get this profile picture?

- We Googled "cute high school field hockey blonde."

- From government servers?

- Well, when you say it like that...

Also, do you know what "squat" means now?

Because tangerine seltzer squats,

but also somehow, HPV squats.

- Look, this is all my fault.

Orly's just acting out

because I uprooted her life with this mayor thing.

I'm working crazy hours.

I forced her to move into an old house

that's outside SUGARFISH's delivery zone.

I just need to reconnect... on her level.

And Emma showed me how to do that.

I am going to go home and have dinner with her tonight.

Great work today, Tommy.

How's that decision memo on SROs coming?
