Original subtitles

- Hi, Jake.

- Get it! Okay, you suck.

- Wait, wait.

- Hey, he doesn't deserve you, okay?

Addy, you're amazing, and Jake is...

- Probably having sex with some French model.

- Everyone's gonna find out. - What?

- I said...

everyone's gonna find out.

- Hey, babe.

Thought you could use some extra fuel today.

Organic, fair trade, just how you like it.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Hi. - Hi.

Can we just skip today?

- Babe, that post was obviously some kind

of shitty prank, okay?

No killer is just gonna confess like that.

- Well, tell that to all the people asking

if I'm a literal murderer.

- All right, you know what? Stop right there.

Adelaide Prentiss, you're under arrest.

Officer Jake Riordan, hair police.

I forgot my badge.

It's been a while since I've had to use it.

You've been doing good. You've been doing real good.

- You mean the piece of cardboard

that has dog hair stuck to it?

- You remember it?

Well, do you also remember that every time I flash it,

you have to take a deep breath,

stop messing with your beautiful hair,

and remember that I'm never gonna let

anything bad happen to you?

- There it is. That's what I like to see.

- What would I do without you?

- You'll never have to find out.

- I was on a run, and I saw your text,

so I thought I'd say hi, so...

Hi.

Hi, hi, hi. My God.

It's so early, and my place looks crazy right now.

- I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have just shown up like this.

- It's fine.

- Look, I'm about to have a really bad day,

and I guess I just wanted one part of it to be good.

I'll talk to you later?

- Wait, wait, wait.

Maybe I can help you with that.

- Bronwyn Rojas.

You waiting for me?

- Where's the laptop? - Simon's laptop?

Last I heard, you did not have it, right?

- Yeah, well, now I really don't have it.

- Wait, you lost it? - No, I didn't lose it.

It was stolen from me. There's a huge difference.

And you think I stole it.

- Yeah, well, who else knew that I did not have it?

- Okay, if I've learned anything from horror movies,

and I have, it's that usually,

the call is coming from inside the house.

- What are you trying to say?

- Your parents probably found the laptop

and gave it back to Simon's family.

Or, I don't know, threw it off a cliff,

which is probably the better idea.

- No, no, 'cause if my parents had found it,

I would have heard about it immediately

'cause I would have been grounded permanently.

You really trust your parents?

It's cute.

- Yeah, I trust them more than a drug dealer

one strike away from jail.

Sorry. I didn't mean it.

- Yeah, you did. You did.

You're late for class.

What would Yale think?

- Guys, I have an idea.

I think somebody killed Simon to steal his laptop,

used it to get into About That,

and then posted that insane confession

to freak everyone out.

And also because psychos love getting credit for their work.

You guys, this is a true crime podcast waiting to happen.

- Simon posted people's secrets all the time.

Nobody ever tried to poison him about it.

- Yeah, I know, but this was supposed to be a big reveal.

He was building it up. He'd never done that before.

It was probably so good.

- Yeah, well, some of the theories

people are posting are pretty insane.

- Like what? - Addy, what did we say?

- Don't read the comments.

- Or have others read them for you.

- Just that four big posts got teased,

and then four people were in detention with Simon.

You think those four posts were about us?

- Or are you saying that one of us killed Simon?

- Either way, it's insane.

And just to say it, if anyone in this entire school

was capable of murder, it seems kind of obvious.

- What is a secret worth literally killing for?

- Can we just drop this?

- Okay, relax, Cooper. What would your big secret be?

My... Cooper, did you skip a protein shake?

- Ha. Ha.

Vanessa.

- What, maybe he did, and he doesn't want us to know.

- You offended him. - Cooper.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

- Eeyore, come on. Pooh Bear was joking.

Thanks.

What about you?

What would your deadly little secret be?

- Sorry to disappoint,

but that post obviously wasn't gonna be about me.

I didn't even read About That that morning,

and besides, how could I have planned

to poison Simon if I didn't even know

he was gonna be in detention that day?

- Okay. Addy, relax.

You're clearly not some secret mastermind killer.

Babe, relax.

- And none of us thought that cheating post

was about you and Jake.

Right, Keely?

- Yeah. - No, of course not.

Anyway...

- If you want to spend some time with a counselor,

that's understandable, but if you're here in class,

let's try to stay focused, okay?

If you go to page 18...

This year, you'll be learning

nothing short of how the world around you works.

Physics explains the fundamental laws

of our universe from the largest galaxies

to the tiniest planets.

Physics is all around you.

It's physics that explains

how you're all sitting in your chairs right now

and not floating out into orbit.

And if someone were to pull one of those chairs out...

Seriously?

- I'm so sorry.

I didn't even know I had my alarm set.

I have no idea how...

- You know phones aren't allowed in class.

That's worth detention.

Now, where were we?

- What? - Right...

- Well, I got detention too,

so guess I'll see you there.

- So acceleration due to gravity is constant.

On Earth, that number is 9.8 meters per second squared.

If you haven't committed this to memory...

Principal Gupta.

How can I help you?

- Okay. She's just there. - Yeah.

Addy, can you come with me please?

I hate for you to miss class.

I just need you for a few minutes.

- Sorry, what's happening?

- This is Detective Wheeler.

She just needs to search your lockers.

- What? Why?

- Do you even have a warrant? - We don't need a warrant.

Lockers are on school property.

Look, I understand it's invasive,

and I thank you for your cooperation.

- Was there an option to not cooperate?

- I don't understand. What are you looking for?

- Well, any piece of evidence that might help us understand

what happened to Simon.

- Okay, Bronwyn, is your locker one of these?

- Yeah, it's that one. - We'll look at Addy's next.

- What if someone put something in our lockers?

- What?

- Yeah, like, what if someone put something in there

to make us look bad?

- Wouldn't be the first time police find evidence

right where they need it to be.

- Yeah, and Bronwyn said someone put a phone in her bag,

and that's how she got detention,

and I got detention in a weird way, too.

- Addy, if you haven't done anything wrong,

you've got nothing to worry about,

so just open the locker, please.

- Thank you.

Somebody plant this peanut oil in there?

- It's moisturizing.

I use it for my hair and dry skin and blackheads

and... look, this peanut oil could not have killed Simon.

Peanut oil has to be cold pressed for someone

with allergies to react to it, and that's basically

only the super bougie gourmet kind, basically.

- How do you know that?

- Saw it on the Food Network.

- Maybe that's something you should keep to yourself.

- We'll run some tests against the samples

we found in the library.

I think one of you took Simon's laptop.

If you did, we're gonna find out, and soon.

I'm sure you had a perfectly good reason for taking it,

but you gotta tell me now, because if we find it

and we find you've been hiding it and lying about it,

especially after I've given you a chance to come clean,

I don't have to tell you how that's gonna sound

to a judge, right?

You got something to say?

- Yes, um...

Why are we even talking about the laptop

when you just found peanut oil in Addy's locker?

- It's moisturizing, and, you know,

some of us actually like to spend money

on makeup once in a while.

- I'm trying to help you guys here.

This is serious.

Why do you think I'm sitting here instead of Officer Miller?

I'm a homicide detective.

This is now a murder investigation.

- What? - Murder?

- We found peanut oil in Simon's cup

and only Simon's cup.

We also found capsule residue.

Someone put peanut oil into a capsule

and dropped it in the water in Simon's drink.

That happens in the moment, in the room.

So your teacher left the room.

You didn't see anybody come in or out.

Nobody had the opportunity except for the four of you.

- Hey, where were you?

- Damn car broke down on me, again.

- Why didn't you call me?

- Didn't want you to miss practice.

No worries. Car's in the shop now anyhow.

How was practice?

Hey, what's wrong?

- Robyn is a good friend and a very good lawyer.

- You think I need a lawyer?

- How am I supposed to pay for a lawyer?

Bet those other kids probably have someone

on retainer already.

Maybe Jake's family knows someone?

Are you two okay?

- Why wouldn't we be?

- So you didn't cheat on him?

I read the comments, too.

Addy.

- Cops talk to you again?

- No. - Okay.

The mayor's kid.

They're gonna try to pin that on somebody, fast.

Just be you.

- What?

- What are you gonna say to him

when he asks you about it?

They always ask.

And baby, you are not a good liar.

- You are a model student from a great family.

Focus on that.

- I think I'm just a bit nervous about the showcase.

- Got nothing to worry about there.

You're ready.

- So go to Simon's wake tomorrow with your family,

pay your respects to the mayor.

So much comes down to optics,

and we have to present you as you really are:

the innocent girl who got caught up

in all of this by sheer bad luck.

- But what if it wasn't bad luck?

Addy, this girl who was in detention with me that day...

- I'm going to stop you right there.

Stay away from Addy.

- Jake's not gonna find out,

and I am not gonna end up like you.

We are gonna go to college together,

and after college, we'll get married and travel the world.

Jake says I'll love Paris, and when we're ready

to settle down, we'll come back and raise our kids here,

and he'll go into the family business,

and I'll be a mom.

But a good one.

And that's always been our plan,

and I won't let anyone ruin it for me.

- You have to stay away

from the other three suspects, actually,

especially the one with the criminal record.

- Nate.

- What time is it?

7:00.

- Are you good?

Is school okay?

- Yeah, I'm good. Everything's good.

- Hi. - Hey.

- Yeah, I was just finishing dinner.

Was your day as terrible as you thought it was gonna be?

Ooh, Coop, you gotta try these little THC sodas.

My God, they taste so good,

and they're, like, really mellow.

They chill you...

- I just wanted to give you what's yours.

- Okay, yeah, they definitely look better on you.

- I think they'd look pretty good off both of us.

- Okay, but I, like, actually did work.

I washed yours and I folded them.

- That's great. - Made 'em look all nice.

- That's really good.

- Okay, wait, hold on.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on.

- What's wrong?

- Can we just take it slow tonight?

- Yeah, yeah. - Okay, you sure?

- Sure.

- Okay, well, you were gonna tell me about your day, right?

How was it? - My day?

Yeah.

- Not much to tell.

- Okay, well, I'ma tell you about my day,

'cause it was crazy.

My God, this woman at work

called me flamboyant, Cooper.

'Cause of my nails, I guess? I don't know.

Flamboyant really feels like a microaggression.

So I turned into a drag queen in that moment, okay?

Yes, I said, I'ma give you flamboyant.

Every single time she opened her mouth,

I said, "Yes, queen!

"Ooh, you better work the house down, period, poo.

And then I ended up by twerking in the middle of the shop.

I swear to God, that's what happened.

That's what happened in my head,

Cooper, because Margot is my supervisor,

so I can't even be sassy for real to her face.

Like... was your day as bad as that?

- My day was...

just a different kind of bad.

- Different. Okay, who was your Margot?

So many options.

Honestly, I am about ready to lose it

on my AP English teacher.

I mean, this guy never...

- Why you still taking AP class in college?

It's a high school class.

- No... - Cooper, you in high school?

- Yeah, I can explain.

- So you lied about going to college?

I think you need to get dressed.

- Ooh!

Are you gonna go to the wake? - No.

- Yeah, I guess that'd be kind of weird as a suspect,

especially after the peanut oil.

What?

- Girl, I'm sorry, but that... hey!

Jake told me. He was worried about you.

- It prevents acne.

You've asked me to use it before.

- I don't know, girl.

You had an actual murder weapon in your locker,

and you were in detention that day.

- So was Cooper.

What if that post was about him and Keely?

- Ask her.

I mean, she clearly thinks it's about you.

Did you see that little stunt she pulled yesterday?

And did you see Jake's face?

- Not that it even had to be about someone in detention.

And I feel bad saying this,

but I've always thought they were a weird couple.

- Totally, right? So private. No PDA.

Completely the opposite of how she was with Zach.

- And I saw Keely talking to Simon at Jake's party.

- Wait, what party? What was I wearing?

- The lime green swimsuit. - So cute.

She looked upset.

- Like, upset like "Simon found out

she cheated on Cooper" upset?

- Probably. - Girl, I have to find out.

I'll text Olivia.

She's on student council with her.

She'll know. Or Ali. I'll text Ali.

I'm gonna text them both. I'll text them both.

Ooh-hoo-hoo.

- Was that Mayor Kelleher?

- Simon's mom? Yeah.

She had to come to school today

to clean out his locker, and she asked me to help.

Yeah.

Guess she thought we were still great friends,

even though we haven't talked since middle school.

And now she wants me to come to the wake,

so I can take something to remember him by.

So now we gotta go to that thing.

- Should we meet after?

Just sounds really personal. I don't wanna intrude.

- Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I can go by myself.

It's fine. It's fine.

- No, I'm sorry. I am overthinking it.

I will go with you if you really want me to.

- Thanks, babe. - Yeah.

- And I don't know, maybe we'll find his diary or something.

You know, he kept one when we were kids.

Except now it'd have everyone's secrets in it.

Maybe that'd be worth going, right?

- Yeah.

- Guess we should get going. - Yeah.

- All right.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Yesterday, when the cops were searching us,

you said you got detention in a weird way, too?

- Yeah.

An alarm went off on my phone that I know I didn't set.

And I remember what you said about the phone in your bag,

and I realized anybody could have set the alarm

to get me in trouble, too.

You don't even need the password.

- Wait, do you know how Cooper and Nate got detention?

Hey.

Did you get detention for a weird reason?

Addy and I did, and it's almost like

someone wanted us to be there.

- I got detention like I always do,

being late for class.

- I was late for physics.

I was coming out of gym, and I couldn't find my phone.

Ended up being two minutes late.

- Where was it?

- Under some lockers.

I guess it must have fallen out of my bag or something.

- That's weird, isn't it?

- There's nothing weird about that.

Just another day in the office for me.

- You're not that bad.

You saved me from myself yesterday.

You may even be a good guy, deep inside.

Very deep inside,

even when you're always late.

- Okay, for the record, I did make an effort

to be on time for the first day.

Just wasn't meant to be, I guess.

- What do you mean?

- My locker was jammed. I had to get the janitor.

Dude had to pry it open with a crowbar.

- On the first day of school?

- Yeah, Ms. Scarecrow didn't think it was weird.

Gave me detention anyway.

- I think someone set us up.

- Who would do that?

- Maybe the same person who took the laptop from me?

I mean, someone is clearly pulling the strings,

and they wanted us in the room that day.

- Okay, but why?

- I have no idea, but don't you think we should find out?

Bayview, you are predictable.

- Simon's dead. A killer is on the loose.

But don't let that distract you from your selfies.

- I mean, so what if the police found peanut oil

in Addy Prentiss' locker?

And I thought I was being obvious.

- That poor woman. - To lose a son that young.

My God, that's totally her.

- You okay?

- It's peanut oil, not a homemade grenade.

Vanessa said she didn't say anything, but...

- Hey, babe, I've been wanting to ask you something.

Look, I hear gossip, too,

and this is gonna be weird,

but it's bugging me, so just be honest, okay?

- Do you really think that post was about...

Keely and Cooper?

Vanessa told me you said something about it,

so do you think she cheated?

- I don't know. It seems possible.

- I should tell Cooper, right?

- Jake. - Hi.

I'm so glad you're here.

- My girlfriend. - Hi, I'm Adelaide...

- Yes, I know.

Would you like to go to Simon's room?

You can take anything you want.

- Excuse me, Mayor Kelleher... - Thank you.

Simon would be glad you're here.

Come with me.

- What... don't leave me.

- No, I'll be right back. - Please don't go.

- It's moisturizing. - What are you doing here?

- I was...

- What the fuck are you doing here?

- Relax. I'm here on business.

Pretty sure I'm not the only one.

- Who are all these old people?

- Campaign donors.

- I see food.

- Hey, babe. - Hey.

- Find anything?

- I did. You won't believe it.

Jackpot.

Yeah.

Yeah, video games used to be our thing when we were kids,

so I thought it was appropriate.

And now I can have an Xbox at my mom's

and my dad's, so that's cool.

You okay? - Yeah.

No, I'm just... I'm good.

You should probably put that in the car.

People don't get the wrong idea.

Right. Dick move.

Thanks, babe.

- Happy to discuss with you, ma'am.

- Doubtless would not be the best time, but...

- I can assure you, Detective,

that I had no intention whatsoever

to discuss the case with you today,

but I and everybody else in this town

have seen what just happened this morning.

They're posting on his app again, today.

They're taunting you.

- The VPN scrambles the location.

- There has to be something else you can do.

- Whoever took that computer knows what they're doing.

- Well, I'm glad someone does.

What about the peanut oil in that girl's locker?

- I just got the results back from the lab.

It's not a match,

but that doesn't mean she wasn't involved.

And one of them did it.

Actually we're working on a theory

that all of them did this together,

which might explain why, apparently,

none of them saw anything.

- Well, whoever it was,

I want them found and arrested soon,

or my office will find someone else to do your job, again.

- Well, I mean... I mean...

- I could check into that.

- Can I bring you anything?

- Excuse us, everyone.

Thank you so much for being here with us today

to honor our dear Simon.

I know it would've meant the world to him

to have you all here.

My God, come on.

- Simon was the biggest light in our world.

His joy, his love of his friends.

The Russian Nobel prize winner

Alexander Solzhenitsyn once wrote...

- Get Cooper. Meet me upstairs.

- "Some are bound to die young.

"By dying young, a person stays young in people's memory.

"If he burns brightly before he dies,

his brightness shines for all time."

- Come with me, asshole.

- There was a lightness in Simon

that he didn't even know he had.

That's the hardest part for our ordeal.

Yes, they took everything from him,

everything he was, but most importantly,

they took away everything he would come to be one day.

There is no bigger crime.

And our hope is that it will be punished accordingly.

Fancy seeing you here.

- Hey. - Hi.

- You know, I've been to three funerals already this year.

This, by far, best food.

That's a lot funerals.

- Have a lot of cancer friends.

Kind of popular at the hospital, you know?

You want a crouton?

- He would hate this, right?

I mean, they're making this into, like,

his mom's political fundraiser.

Everybody's here pretending to care.

They all just want to be seen.

- Yeah, well, in my experience, these things always end up

being about the people in the room,

not the person that died.

Makes sense.

The living are the ones that need comfort.

Simon is just having a blast in hell right now.

- Hey.

But it's best if you focus on the food.

- I wish he was here, like, making fun of everyone,

pissing off his fake-ass parents.

Nobody here knew who he really was,

and...

everybody here hated him.

- Not everybody.

- We shouldn't be in here together.

- When you said a scarecrow gave you a detention,

were you talking about Ms. Avery?

- You just saw her all dressed in black

and you're really asking?

- I'll take that as a yes.

Who gave you detention?

- Same. Why?

- She gave us all detention. - So?

It's basically her signature move.

- And we were all set up. - By Ms. Avery?

- It just doesn't seem like a coincidence.

And then there's the new About That posts.

Somebody's messing with us.

- Yeah, but that person knew

about what happened with my locker.

You were the only ones that were there.

- Are you sure you didn't tell Vanessa?

I mean, the two of you seem to be gossiping a lot these days.

- Vanessa and Jake wouldn't tell.

I know them. I don't know you.

Well, let me introduce myself.

I'm not the one who had peanut oil in their locker

or my signature in the nurse's log...

- It's not cold pressed. I already told the cop...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up for a second, all right?

Why would someone single out the four of us for anything?

- The About That posts. The ones Simon was teasing?

What if someone thought they were about us?

- But they weren't.

- I think it's safe to assume one was about me.

- Yeah, naturally.

- Weren't you calling me a nice guy,

like, five minutes ago?

Before you were selling drugs at a wake.

- And you've never done a criminal thing in your life?

So you guys have no secrets? - No.

- No. - No.

And even if Simon thought he had something on one of us,

that doesn't mean he got it right.

- Is that why you told Vanessa

that the cheating one was about Keely?

- Can we go back to the setup?

I think we should go to the police.

- Yeah, of course you trust the cops.

- Excuse me?

- You know what they'll tell you?

That one of us could have framed the other three

and then pretend like she was framed too.

I mean, you could literally be pushing this entire theory

so we don't suspect you.

So you're accusing me now?

- Without Simon, you get to be valedictorian.

- You seem to have given this a lot of thought, man.

- Maybe you haven't given it enough thought, man.

Whatever you say, detective jock.

- Fuck you.

- The police think we did it together.

- What?

- Yeah, so this can't happen.

- I'm out of here.

- Hey, Evan.

Are you okay?

- I just lied for you.

Yeah, I told your dad you went to the bathroom,

but I saw you with Nate

looking like a couple of coconspirators.

I thought your lawyer had said

to never be seen with him, ever.

- You must really want me

to follow my lawyer's advice?

- All right.

Okay, look, I get it.

The motorcycle,

the incredible hair, the very...

brooding energy.

That's just not me.

He's cool, and I play backgammon online.

- But prisons are full of very cool people,

and I don't want that guy to bring you down with him.

You're better than that. You deserve the best.

In the meantime, I hope that I'll do.

- You're so right.

You are nothing like him,

and that's one of the best things about you.

- Well, this is

very inappropriate, sir.

- Then why do I want to do it again?

- We have a deal, and it has rules.

We wouldn't see anyone else

because that might tip people off.

And even if I wanted to, I would never lie about it.

- No, I know.

But even if you did, right,

it wouldn't really be cheating.

- No, it would be.

I wouldn't do that to you

because I know you wouldn't do that to me.

- I can't wait to go back to Greece.

But with you. With you this time.

- Better be.

- Did you have any fun without me?

- No.

- Teej! - Ooh, hey.

- No, it was a total nightmare.

The fuck is that asshole doing here?

- Don't worry, babe. - I'm sure he'll leave soon.

Nobody'll talk to him anyway.

- Well, whatever you say. It's your house too.

Yeah.

- Okay, get a room. - Okay, okay.

- But not your room, because TJ and I just used it,

and you're gonna wanna change your sheets first.

- You're fucking with me. Shut up.

You and TJ?

Don't you dare look at me like that.

It's love, okay? It is deep.

Deep love, all right?

- Love, yeah.

- Okay, speaking of fucking, we need you for beer pong

'cause we're gonna fuck you up.

- Yes, yes you do. - Let's go.

- Come join. Come join. Let's go.

- Shit. - I've been looking for you.

You know, you really shouldn't mix Xanax and liquor.

Trust me.

- It's water.

Nothing to see or post about here.

- Yeah, you're right.

Your Xanax habit isn't half as interesting

as what happened between you and TJ.

- What? - But I don't know.

I probably won't post it.

Do I want to know what your asshole of a boyfriend

would do if he found out?

I mean, I can't even blame you for cheating on him.

You know what? Nobody has to find out.

I guess we're both full of surprises?

- You're full of shit.

- Hey. - Hey.

- You ready to go? - Yeah, yeah.

- What are you doing?

- Hair police? I turn myself in...

- No, what's going on? - What?

- You've been acting so weird.

- Can you blame me?

I mean, after the last post...

- You were off before then, Ads, for a while.

I talked to Coop.

Coop said that there's no way that Keely cheated.

Did you make that up?

Why would you do that?

Listen, the one thing that I wouldn't be able to take

is you lying to me.

So just tell me the truth, okay?

Is there anything that I should know?

Was that post about you?

About us?

- No, no.

No.

But I started the rumor

because I didn't want you to think it was.

- Jake, I was so scared of losing you.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Probably go bald from pulling my hair out too much.

That's all I needed to hear. Come here.

Let's get out of here. - Please.

Yeah.

- You're late.

You're the one that told us to come here.

- How did you even know about this place?

- My mom worked at the concessions stand.

She'd leave that back door open,

and I would sneak in and watch the old classics.

Yeah, those were the days.

- Charming.

Why are we here?

- Because Addy's right.

No one can see us meet.

Because the police think we did it together.

That's what you said.

- Yeah.

Heard the cops talking to Simon's mom...

in the kitchen.

- If there's one thing we know isn't true,

it's that we worked together.

- Now that we can actually agree on.

- Okay, okay, but what if we need to work together now?

What if it's the only way to get out of this?

- And why should we trust you?

- Okay, you're right.

I haven't been honest with you guys.

One of Simon's posts was gonna be about me, I think.

- What did you do?

- Okay, I'm not ready to be that honest yet.

- Okay, well, then you have a motive, but I don't.

None of those clues were gonna be about me,

no matter what some people say.

- I said I was sorry.

I was worried Jake would suspect me

and ask, and I just wanted to...

- There's something? - No.

- What were you so nervous of, then?

- Her shitty boyfriend getting ideas.

- Nate Macauley calling my friend shitty?

- Right, sorry, man, it's not like football players

have a tendency for violence or anything.

- Hey, leave him out of this. - I'm trying to help you here.

- Well, don't. Okay? I cheated on him.

I cheated on him, okay?

And he asked me, and I lied.

I thought we were over.

I thought he didn't love me anymore.

He'd gone on that People to People Trip

in Greece.

He was gone all summer, and he wasn't texting me back,

but he was still posting on his story every day,

and, like, what am I supposed to think?

And I was drunk and sad and mad,

and TJ was there and...

now I'm gonna end up single and alone and a murder suspect,

because now I have a motive.

- Hey, hey.

- Hey.

It's only motive if people know about it,

and they don't.

That secret died with Simon, okay?

- Because someone killed him.

And now they're trying to frame us.

- Okay, but do you really think

that Ms. Avery stole Simon's laptop?

I mean, I don't even think she would know how to log in.

- I don't know who's doing this,

but whoever's doing it hated Simon.

- A lot of people hated Simon.

- Yeah, but who also hated us?

- Okay, okay, please listen. I know I messed up, all right?

But when we first met,

I thought that it'd be a one-time thing.

So I didn't think that it was important to tell you

that I wasn't in college because...

I never thought that I'd ever see you again.

- Okay, and you don't have to...

- No, no, no, you're not... no, please.

What if I want to?

What if I want to hear more

about your stupid days and about Margot?

Cooper, I don't care that you're 17, all right?

I was just in high school a year ago.

I care that you lied to me.

You really didn't have to.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

How about we just start over?

- Yeah? - My name is Chris.

I really am 18.

And I'm a freshman in college.

- Okay, well, hi, Chris.

My name is Cooper.

I'm a senior in high school,

but I do turn 18 in three weeks.

Three weeks? Okay.

Well, I know what I'ma get you for your birthday, then.

- You want to start on those college applications tomorrow?

- Yes, please.

- We can go to the beach house,

do 'em by the pool, work on our tan...

You know what, actually, just scratch that.

We can just work on our tans and do 'em next week.

We have all the time in the world.

- I-I gotta go. I love you.

- Love you always.

- Don't you just hate a cliffhanger?

Simon may have left you high and dry,

but making you wait for a good reveal?

That's not really my style.

Seems Addy Prentiss is no good at waiting either.

She didn't last a week before finding a new boy toy

to play with while Jake was in Greece this summer.

That's better.

Wasn't the suspense just killing you?
