Fear is as common
in the animal kingdom

as it is among us humans.

- So what do I do now?
- You just dip it in.

When they're flipped over some toads
will go limp and cross their little arms.

- It's amazing, right?
- Yeah.

It tastes like cheese dipped
in apple juice.

Exactly!

You miss your friends, don't you? Huh?

- Lonely girl.
- No. Shut up.

Izzie would've loved this, though.

Attention, everybody!

It's finally finished.

What's this?

My portfolio for art school.

Hey!

No eating around the portfolio.
Especially not cheese dipped

in apple juice.
That's just asking for trouble.

- Hey, Sam... this is amazing.
- I know.

ANTARCTIC PENGUINS

ANTARCTICA
SOUTH POLE

It really is.

I thought it was weird
when you said you wanted to pursue art

instead of something science-y,
like penguin studies or whatever,

but... this is really good.

It's late in the application process,
so I really need to knock their socks off.

- That's a phrase.
- Indeed.

I'm applying to a place called
the Rhode Island School of Design,

also called RISD,
in Providence, Rhode Island.

- It's a very good school.
- That's really cool.

I've never been to Rhode Island.
Actually...

I've never been anywhere.

Me neither.

Yeah, I figure why travel?

Beth wakes me up
with fresh morning pastries every day.

So, that's a routine
that I'm just not willing to give up.

I like my routines too.

A lot.

Yeah, but it's going to be great.
I mean, you'll make new routines.

Yeah, and you're gonna make new friends,
you're gonna go to new classes.

You'll get a pair of new New Balances.

You can go check out your new hood...

- Dude.
- What?

That's a lot of new stuff.

In humans, fear may look different,
but it's caused by the same things.

No, Sam. It's gonna be fine. Really.

A predator, a loud noise,
a change in your environment.

I mean, look at me.

I didn't want to go
to Clayton and now, well...

I hate it, but that's a bad example.

Yeah, well, it's perfectly...
normal to be a little bit nervous.

You just... You need to just
take your mind off stuff, you know?

- Maybe blow off a little bit of steam.
- Yeah.

Well, the wisest man I know did tell me
the perfect way to blow off steam.

- Awesome, dude. Do that.
- Yeah.

You were right.

This does take my mind off things.
My mind is on nothing.

One word. Three letters.

Duh.

CLAYTON IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP

An alumna painted that.
Actually, someone I went to school with.

Ironically, she was a real asshole.

So how you doing?

I haven't seen you
with the team much lately, you girls okay?

Yep.

You sure?

I'm fine.

Well, we need to talk biology.

Mr. Kawahara says you're failing.

And if you can't get your grade up,
you'll lose your scholarship.

What? No, I...

I can't afford this place without it.

I know,
but there's still time to fix this.

Not as much time as if you'd come
to me weeks ago when I'd asked.

Sorry. I...
I just had, like, a lot going on, so...

Now it's time to buckle down.

Kawahara says that you'll be fine
if you ace the midterm.

So that's your mission,
beat biology class.

I promise I will eat,
sleep, and breathe biology.

Biology, it's what's for breakfast!

Okay, bye.

Hello?

Who?

Wow.

Thank you, Sabrina, for singing
your answer to "How was your day?"

And quite beautifully, I might add.

Oh! Hi, Sam. We're about to get started,
why don't you take a seat.

I got an interview with RISD.

Really? Sam, that is great news.

RISD is a fantastic school.

I know. I worked so hard
on my art portfolio.

I'm very proud. Do you want to see it?
It's in my backpack.

Well, we will all look at it after group.
But until then, yay, Sam!

Yay, Sam. Are you excited?

I'm mostly excited.

However, in my initial research,
I discovered some alarming details.

The campus is on a hill and I don't like
the idea of living at an angle.

I couldn't find chicken fingers
on the cafeteria menu.

I'm hoping the online menu is incomplete
or seasonal.

And according to my research,

a large number of artists die
penniless and alone,

but I'm trying to stay optimistic
'cause my mom and Paige told me to.

No chicken fingers? Dying alone?

That sounds awful. You shouldn't go.

There will definitely be
some things to get used to,

but this is a huge accomplishment, Sam.

You guys, sometimes I feel like we focus
so much on what's difficult

that we forget to celebrate
our accomplishments.

Who else had an accomplishment this week?

I went to a new dentist.

- She was okay.
- Really? How cool, Lily.

- And I have two cavities.
- That's less cool.

This is gonna be difficult, but worth it.

So, here are some resources
to help you get started.

I might've gone a little overboard.
I'm really excited.

- So are we.
- Elsa has a stack like this at home.

Kindred nerd spirits.

Well, I think this first responders
training is such a great idea.

I mean, law enforcement,
the medical community,

they can't always recognize
the signs of autism.

No, I get it. I would probably
be the same way if it wasn't for Sam.

- He's been dealing with so much.
- Yeah. We've had a lot going on.

- Been a tough time in our family.
- Yeah, really tough.

Yeah. Anyways, that website is
for a group that does similar training,

- so if you want to take a look...
- Okay. I'm going to come out and say it.

I cheated on Doug with a bartender.

I'm just, I'm trying to be more honest.

Okay. Well, like I was saying,
that nonprofit focuses on groups...

But things are getting better.
Don't you think?

Getting there.
It's good to be doing things together.

You know, on the same team.

I agree.

I mean, I know I have a long way to go
before I'm forgiven.

But I do feel like there's more intimacy.
I mean, not that kind of intimacy.

It's not... Not sex stuff.

- No.
- But...

I do want to be special to him
in that way.

And I feel like we...

I feel like we deserve that.

Well, I have another client waiting. So...

- Sorry.
- We could go on and on.

- I bet.
- Yeah, it's a bunch to discuss.

- Yeah.
- Okay. Um...

J. SASAKI, Ph.D.

All right, off you go.

- Good to see ya.
- You too.

Yeah, this was great. Thank you.

Hey. There's no one here yet.

- There will be.
- Okay. Thanks...

So I'll see you at home.

I'm gonna make a cake.
I just feel like making a cake, so...

I'm actually... I'm gonna meet a friend
from Sam's peer group.

She's a social worker, we're discussing
doing something similar at the hospital.

Oh, wow, that's great.

It's nice to see you
so passionate about this.

It's nice to feel passionate
about something.

T/F? THE FROG IS A VERTEBRATE

TRUE

EVAN TUBA
HEY WASSUP?

STOP PROCRASTINATING.
STUDY FOR YOUR TEST.

STOP YELLING AT ME!

So talk to me about your interview outfit.

I don't know, pants and a shirt.

What I always wear
when I'm not wearing this.

Gag me with a spoon, brother.

Yo, artists are supposed to be
eccentric lunatics.

You've seen that 'stache on Salvador Dalí.

You have to have flair.

You gotta convey your oddness
through a dapper ensemble.

How do you feel about a cloak?

I wouldn't want them to mistake me
for a wizard.

I don't see how that
would be a bad thing, but...

I just want them to look at my portfolio,

and then make their decision
based on that.

When am I gonna see this bad boy?

If you're referring to my portfolio,
right now.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no!

My portfolio, it's not in here.

- It's not in here!
- Okay, deep breath.

Deep breath.
Where was the last place you saw it?

- I don't know! I don't know!
- Don't worry, homie.

Give me your phone.

Oh, you really should
password protect this.

I'm gonna have to mess with you later.
You leave me no choice, but not now.

Now, I am in hero mode.

Zahid saves the day.

Yes.

SAM

- Hey, what's up?
- Hold for Samuel.

Sam, hello? Are you there?

I lost my portfolio and it's gone forever.
I'm such an idiot. Goodbye.

Wait, Sam.

Don't worry. We'll find it.

Okay.

Edison, where's the portfolio?

Useless animal.

Why have one washing machine
when you can have two?

Double the clean clothes,
double the fresh looks.

Don't mind her, she's with maintenance,
she's going to fix stuff.

Let me show you something over here.

Hey. Are you okay?

Okay. You want me to read you
Ernest Shackleton's Wikipedia page?

Ready?

"Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton...

was a polar explorer

who led three British expeditions
to the Antarctic

and one of the principal figures
of the period known as...

the heroic age of Antarctic exploration.

He was born on February 15th, 1874,

in Kilkea, near Athy,
County Kildare, Ireland,

about 46 miles, 74 kilometers,
from Dublin."

He's buried on the island
of South Georgia.

In a cemetery next to a wool factory.

Oh! Wool.

Sam, look, we can still fix this.

We just have to find your portfolio.

And we will scour the entire town
if we have to,

starting with Techtropolis.

Okay?

TECHTROPOLIS

You're all good here.

Thing's connected to the thing.

'Kay.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Corner table, I like it.
- Yeah.

- How are you?
- Good, good.

Thanks for meeting me.
I'm really excited about this training.

Yeah, me too. It's such a good idea.

So many people are wrapped up in
their own stuff, they don't get involved.

So... I'm impressed with you.

You look nice, where are you headed?

Just meeting a man.

He's tall, reddish hair...

You seen him?

Can I get you two something to drink?

I will have the Pinot Noir.

I'll just have coffee, please.

Thank you.

You might have to cut me off
at two coffees. Sometimes I get crazy.

I might have to use my defibrillator
on myself.

- It's not in the girls' bathroom.
- Not in the break room.

Or the stock room.

- Damn.
- I know.

- But... shit.
- I know.

We've searched this whole place,
it's not here.

Who's that? Someone find my portfolio?

No, it's Evan.

I'm supposed to be studying for
my biology test, he's busting my balls.

That's it.

I know where my portfolio is.

I mean, this place is
really just a big box.

Are you sure
this is the last place you saw it?

Yes. I made a decision
to carry it with me everywhere,

so I wouldn't lose it and I lost it.

No dice.
Lost and found doesn't have it either.

But, I did come up on this sweet amulet.

- Is there anywhere else it could be?
- Here. It has to be here.

I bet somebody found it while they were
blowing off steam and they stole it.

A lot of artists get their work stolen.

It's a common problem.
I watched a documentary about it.

Relax, chipmunk. It's going to be okay.

No, it's not! And why would you
even bring me to this loud place,

with these hurtful balls,
and men in bike shorts?

- What a dumb idea!
- Sam, don't blame Zahid.

He's just trying to help.

Well, maybe I should blame you too.

Because if you
and Evan hadn't got me all worried,

then I wouldn't have needed
to blow off steam in the first place.

Well, maybe you lost your portfolio
on purpose,

because deep down
you're afraid of going to college.

So don't blame everybody else
for your own self-defeating behavior.

It's not self-defeating behavior.

Someone stole my portfolio,

you promised to get it back
and you didn't!

Okay, maybe we should leave.

I think Bike Shorts over there
is eyeing my amulet.

- Fine!
- Fine!

Okay, you know I'm your ride, right?

Just move!

What's the matter?
Why slam the door?

You mean, did we spend all day
looking for Sam's dumb portfolio,

even though he lost it on purpose?

- What?
- And I should be studying.

- You lost your portfolio?
- No, it was stolen.

You lost it.

Guys, calm down. Maybe it's at school,
I'll call and see if they can find it.

Let's get in the truck,
retrace your steps.

Not helping. It's gone forever.

- Honey. Sweetheart.
- It's not gone forever.

- We will find it.
- It's gonna be found.

- Hey.
- Hi, Doug.

How are you, Megan? What are you...
What are you doing here?

I have something for you.
We have something for you.

Hi. I'm Elsa.

I'm Megan. And this is Amber.

She's in Sam's peer group.

Come in, come in.

Oh. Megan is the social worker
I was talking about.

Oh, hi.

I sit next to Sam even though I don't know
what he's talking about half the time.

Yeah, he's a pretty deep thinker,
that's for sure.

Yeah.

Anyway, we have something... for you.

You found it!

- Sam, your portfolio!
- They found it.

My portfolio.

Hi, Amber. You look different
than you do in peer group.

- I'm wearing a vest.
- Where'd you find it?

- The vest?
- The portfolio.

After Sam told the peer group
about all the challenges of art school,

Amber got afraid for him

and decided to steal his portfolio,
so that he couldn't go.

Amber has a lot of empathy. A lot.

You said artists die penniless and alone.

I don't want you to die
penniless and alone.

She realizes now what she did was wrong.

Right, Amber?

- I told you someone stole it.
- Yeah, you were right.

- Why don't you stay and have some cake?
- Yes.

We really should be going.

Okay, then.

But, Mom... cake.

Hey, Sam.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
I guess you weren't being self-defeating.

I think I just thought
that you were doing what I was doing.

But you don't even have a portfolio.

No, I mean, like...

Clayton is really hard,
and I don't love it.

So I think that I've been slacking off

because I want to fail,
so I don't have to go there anymore.

Well, that's dumb.

I know.

Do you want me to help you study
for biology?

Really?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Okay, after dinner.

- How are you with the Krebs cycle?
- Is that a joke?

Ha. I love it.

STUDYING WITH SAM 2NITE.
THX FOR BUGGING ME.

DON'T DO IT AGAIN

What the heck happened to my room?

Hey.

- Myles?
- Yo.

Oh, hi. So I've been thinking
about this a lot and...

I know it's what people do,
get married to have kids, but...

I just don't think I want to settle.

I think we both deserve something...

...special.

- Cool, cool. I'm in Africa.
- What?

I took a job with Doctors without Borders.
I'm gonna be here for two years.

Were you going to tell me?

I'm telling you now.

Okay. Well, I definitely
made the right decision.

Oh, broken clavicle. Nice.
Gotta motor. Text me when the kid's born.

Yep. Daddy's a douchebag.

Can you believe we're sitting here?

College is a big deal.

QUIET
INTERVIEWS IN PROGRESS

It's not college.
It's an interview. It's very different.

I am so proud of you, Sam.

When I get up
and talk about you in group...

Well, it gives parents
with younger children hope

for their future. You're...

You're a real role model. And RISD!

RISD is huge.

Sam, honey, how you feeling?

Sam?

EXIT

I know you know this, but it's normal
to be nervous around transitions.

I think maybe the idea of moving far away
from home is a little...

- scary.
- You know what?

There's no rule that says
that you have to move far away.

I mean, I did and it massively sucked.

There are plenty of great schools
around here.

In fact...

Denton University,

very close to home and it has
a scientific illustration program.

- Science and art, together?
- Yeah.

And you wouldn't have to move far away.

FUTURE JOB INFORMATION

Ms. Whitaker?

They have a marine life
illustration class. Did you know?

I didn't.

One thing I've learned in this job,
sometimes you find the perfect school...

and sometimes it finds you.

What are you doing?

Nothing. It's silly.

Fine. I'm making a website.

- You can't even turn on the TV.
- Yes, I can.

If somebody hands me the correct remote.

Anyway, it's just...

It's been inspiring for me to see you
so excited about these trainings,

and I know we're doing it together, but
it still feels more like your thing. So...

I was thinking maybe I could find
something that was more...

me.

That's cool. So, what you got?

Okay, so a while ago,
a mom came into the autism center

and asked me
if I would cut her son's hair.

And I did. And I loved it.

I was just thinking, maybe I could make it
more of a regular thing.

So I'm... I'm building a website.
I know it's dumb.

No, I think that's good.
I think you'll be great at that.

- Yeah?
- I think it's a good idea.

I haven't chopped
any child's ear off yet.

Well, that's a start.

Yeah. Now, I'm trying to come up
with a name for my business.

Okay, so...

What do you think of...

"Hair Today...

Gone Tomorrow."

- That's terrible.
- Okay.

I don't think that's very good.
I think, uh...

I got it.

What about something like,
"Don't Get Snippy"?

Yeah, that's not good.

- It's awful.
- That's worse than yours.

- What else? You have other choices?
- How about "Hair... Spec-trim"?

That's not bad, actually.

- Yes, it is bad.
- It's very bad.

What about... "Hair You Go"?

- Instead of "here you go," it's...
- No!

- No? I thought that was good.
- No, you did not.

No, I didn't. I'm sure you're gonna
come up with a good name.

I think it's a good idea.

Hey, you know...

your friend who came by, Megan...

she seemed really nice.

Yeah.

Ahh! Her daughter is cute as a button.

Yeah, she... is obsessed with ambulances,

so I gave her a tour and... she loved it.

- Anyway, I...
- Wow, that's really sweet.

I'm going to take a shower.

You know, if you want...
you know, maybe we could...

do couples therapy
or something like that?

- Yeah.
- Maybe.

Okay.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.
