Main Plot: Wendy[]
(After homecoming, Wendy and Jeff walk into his completely dark house)
Jeff: Sh…
(He turns on his flashlight and guides her up the stairs, accidentally knocking his elbow into the wall)
Jeff: Goddammit!
Wendy: SH!
(They both laugh as they get up the stairs and go into his room, closing the door and turning on the lights)
Jeff: That was the struggle of a lifetime.
(Wendy looks around his room and sees Marvel posters, Jim Carrey bobbleheads and posters and a signed photo in a frame)
Wendy: You got a man crush on Jim Carrey?
Jeff: I guess you could say so.
Wendy: Weird pick. I don’t remember watching The Mask and feeling the urge.
(Jeff laughs and lays down on his bed, taking his tie off)
Jeff: I had a tough time growing up and liked how he used humor to deal with his demons.
Wendy: Tough childhood?
(Jeff sighs)
Jeff: Got bullied a lot as a kid. Had to move schools because of it. You know the lame spiel.
Wendy: That sucks. At least you figured out how to cope with it. Is that why you bust jokes all the time?
Jeff: Yeah, that’s how I got kids at my new school to like me. Kind of just stuck with it ever since.
Wendy: Makes sense.
Jeff: How about you? You always been so popular?
Wendy: Well…I was the geeky girl in middle school with glasses and braces and was good at math so I was in an honors program.
Jeff: How’d you blossom into the beautiful butterfly that you are today?
Wendy: I met Candace actually…
Jeff: Everything makes sense now.
Wendy: Yeah…we all have two sides. The side we want everyone to see and the side we keep to ourselves.
Jeff: Right you are. Do you still like math?
Wendy: Love math. I stopped taking honors classes in middle school so I could have classes with Candace and never really went back to them. But I still love school. I just don’t talk about it with anyone.
Jeff: Sounds like you’re holding yourself back.
Wendy: You try to be the class clown all the time, never really let anyone get to know the real you. You’re holding yourself back from making some genuine connections!
Jeff: Wow, the first time I get a girl in my bed and she’s giving me a therapy session. Not how I pictured it, but not mad at it!
(Wendy giggles and leans into him)
Wendy: Is this more how you pictured it?
(She kisses him and he pulls her in close to him as they make out)
Jeff: Yeah, something like this.
(They continue to kiss and he starts fondling her breasts, causing her to moan)
Jeff: Oh damn, am I that good?
(She pushes him off and sits up)
Wendy: Ow, that hurt.
Jeff: Oh, yikes. I guess I don’t know my own strength.
Wendy: No, you’re fine. They’re just-
Jeff: Tender? Oh, ew. I’ve heard people say that before, but after hearing it out loud I’m cringing.
(Wendy puts her hand in front of her mouth as if she’s holding back vomit)
Jeff: Are you okay?
(She sees a garbage can in the corner of the room and runs over and pukes into it)
Jeff: Oh, this is bad. I’ve never heard of a guy’s skills in bed making the woman upchuck. I’m about to call Ripley’s.
Wendy: I’m so sorry. I have to go.
(Wendy grabs her bag and heads down the stairs as Jeff gets up)
Jeff: Wendy, it’s okay!
(Wendy leaves the house and starts getting an Uber, looking completely humiliated)
Wendy: This can’t be good…
Intro[]
Sub Plot: Caylee/Jeremy[]
(The next morning, Caylee is in line at Panera and gets to the front)
Caylee: Hi, can I just get a wheat bagel with low-fat cream cheese. Toasted, please.
Cashier: Awesome, your total is $2.74.
Liam: I got it.
(Liam suddenly appears behind Caylee and hands his card to the cashier who hands him back a receipt)
Caylee: Oh my god, you didn’t have to do that.
Liam: It was $3, don’t worry about it. How are you doing?
Caylee: I’ve been good! Since when do you eat bagels?
Liam: I’m on a health kick. Army does that to you.
Caylee: Gotcha.
Liam: Sorry I haven’t been around much, I’ve been helping my mom move into her new place.
Caylee: How’s living with Jeremy?
Liam: He’s less of a slob than I was expecting so, no complains here.
Caylee: That’s good!
Liam: How’s the restaurant going?
Caylee: Great, actually. I’m sure you know we just hired Jeremy. Business is great. I’m really happy.
Liam: Good to hear. I might have to stop in and eat sometime soon.
Caylee: Do it!
Liam: Or…maybe I could take you out somewhere to eat?
(Caylee is silent for a moment)
Caylee: That’s probably not the best idea…
Liam: Oh, gotcha.
Caylee: I uh…have to get going. Shift’s about to start.
(Caylee takes her bagel and heads for the exit)
Caylee: Thanks again for the bagel!
(Liam looks very disappointed as Caylee heads towards her restaurant and cringes)
Third Plot: Dex[]
(Dex is walking through a hospital and sees Angel, Lana, Scott, Brittany, Chloe, and Moon are sitting in a waiting area talking. Angel gets up and walks over to Dex, giving him a hug)
Angel: I’m glad you came.
Dex: Are you sure it’s okay that I did?
Angel: Yes. I think she’ll be happy to see you when she wakes up.
Dex: Or she’ll attack me with a defibrillator.
Angel: Doubtful.
Dex: Do they know exactly what happened yet?
Angel: Her parents have been in there with the doctor for a while now. Over an hour.
(Brittany and Moon walk over and join them)
Moon: We got here at like 9 this morning.
Brittany: Yeah, her mom called me and asked when the last time I saw her was. They were trying to figure out how she ended up alone for this to happen.
Dex: So no one even knew about this until this morning? I thought I was just out of the loop.
Moon: No, her parents just didn’t tell anyone right away.
(Eliza’s parents come out of the room and both look distressed)
Chloe: How is she?
Lana: Yeah, what’s going on?
Mrs. Bell: The doctors said she’s going to be okay. They were afraid she would wake up with some memory loss, but she’s alright. They’re running a few more tests before they let her leave.
Mr. Bell: She has a pretty bad concussion and some bruises, but overall she’s alright.
Brittany: Ugh, thank God.
Mrs. Bell: She said she left the dance alone. How did you guys let her do that?
Dex: Her and I got into a fight and she took off. No one was around. I should have went after her, it was dumb of me that I didn’t.
Mr. Bell: Dex? You and her are talking again?
Dex: Well, we were.
Scott: Did they catch the guy?
Mr. Bell: No, the police are still working on it, though. She says she would be able to identify him in a line up, so that’s a good sign.
Mrs. Bell: We’re going to go talk to the doctor again, but we wanted to give you all an update.
Mr. Bell: She really appreciates you guys being here and we’ll let you go talk to her the second you’re allowed.
Moon: Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Bell. We appreciate you letting us be here.
(They give her a sympathetic look and head back in the door as they all look sad)
Scott: We’ve been here way too much lately.
Lana: First Eric gets beat up by that guy and now Eliza gets attacked by a total stranger.
Moon: It’s scary out there…
Dex: I’m just glad she’s okay.
(They all sit and wait again)
Main Plot: Wendy[]
(Wendy and Sabrina are lying down on her bed together and looking sad)
Sabrina: I can’t believe you puked in his trash can and ran.
Wendy: I know…I can’t ever show him my face again.
Sabrina: You’re gonna have to, he’s coming to Candace’s big brunch today.
(Wendy fake cries)
Sabrina: You said this is the sixth time you’ve puked this month?
Wendy: Yeah! I thought I was getting the stomach flu at first or something.
Sabrina: And your boobs hurt?
Wendy: Yeah. I know what you’re thinking and that’s not it.
Sabrina: Wen-
Wendy: No. I refuse to acknowledge that possibility.
Sabrina: Okay. Well, I’ll see you on the next season of I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant.
Wendy: There’s no way I’m pregnant because I’ve never had sex without a condom!
Sabrina: Condoms are only like 98% effective or something.
Wendy: Well that’s dumb!
Sabrina: None of them broke?
Wendy: I don’t think so!
Sabrina: Not even like a tiny tear?
Wendy: I don’t know, Sabrina! It’s not like we emptied the condom and inspected it!
Sabrina: Okay, okay. And you only have had sex with Chase?
Wendy: Yes!
Sabrina: Okay. Let’s not freak out just yet, but I do think you should take a test.
Wendy: I’m gonna be sick. And it’s not from morning sickness.
(Someone knocks on her door and her father opens it)
Mr. McGee: Honey! Elena’s here, come say hi!
(He goes back downstairs as Wendy groans)
Sabrina: Who the fuck is Elena?
Wendy: His new girlfriend. She’s the worst.
Sabrina: How?
Wendy: You remember Meredith from the Parent Trap? She’s worse.
Sabrina: Oh God.
(They go downstairs and see Elena at the kitchen table)
Elena: Hey, Wen! Love the bedhead!
Mr. McGee: She had her junior homecoming last night.
Elena: Aw, how cute! Only a junior?
Wendy: Yup.
Elena: Eh, you’ll grow up eventually! Enjoy being young now.
Wendy: This is my friend, Sabrina.
Elena: Oh, like the witch!
(Wendy’s dad laughs as Sabrina fake smiles)
Sabrina: Yup!
Elena: Well, you’re no Mellissa Joan Hart, but nice to meet you!
(Sabrina looks annoyed but continued to fake smile)
Elena: Well, your dad and I have to catch a lunch reservation, don’t destroy the house, girls!
Mr. McGee: See you later, guys!
Wendy: Bye, dad.
Sabrina: Seeya later, Mr. McGee.
(Elena and Wendy’s dad walk out looking happy as Sabrina and Wendy exchange an annoyed glance)
Sabrina: Love her!
Wendy: Right.
Sabrina: Well, I’m gonna go get ready for the brunch. But I really think you should at least take a test...just to know for sure.
(Wendy shakes her head in worry)
Sabrina: It’ll be okay. See you there.
(Sabrina leaves and Wendy looks extremely stressed as she closes the door behind her)
Sub Plot: Caylee/Jeremy[]
(Caylee walks into Amy’s and sees Jeremy and Julia in the dining room setting up tables)
Caylee: Morning, crew!
Julia: Today’s a great day!
Caylee: Wait why?
Julia: Cassidy’s off!
(Caylee gleams and gives Julia a high five)
Jeremy: I don’t get why you chose to use her as a co-owner if you hate her so much.
Caylee: I don’t hate her, I just hate working with her. Never do business with family is what they always say.
Julia: Should have bought it with me instead!
Caylee: Yeah, your garbage credit wasn’t going to allow that, sis.
(Julia cringes and continues working)
Caylee: Guess who I ran into at Panera?
Jeremy: Who?
Caylee: Liam.
Jules: Yikes, was it awkward?
Caylee: Yeah. He bought my bagel and tried to ask me out to a date.
Julia: What did you say?!
Caylee: I said no!
Jeremy: Savage.
Caylee: I can’t fall for him again.
Julia: You go, girl.
Jeremy: I ran into Jamie the other day too.
Julia: Was she sober?
Jeremy: Seemed that way.
Caylee: Well that’s good at least.
Jeremy: I guess we’re going to have to get used to this.
Caylee: What?
Jeremy: Running into our exes.
Caylee: Ugh, don’t remind me.
Julia: Oh, you guys just get over yourself. We all know you and Jamie and you and Liam are going to get back together eventually.
Caylee: Uh! We are not!
Jeremy: Never!
Julia: You guys are cute. Keep thinking that.
(Caylee and Jeremy both exchange an offended look)
Caylee: I haven’t liked Liam since we broke up!
Jeremy: And Jamie slept with my former best friend!
Julia: Yada, yada, yada. That was years ago.
Jeremy: And I’m still mad.
Julia: Right, right.
Caylee: I swear to God I will never get back with Liam again.
Jeremy: Same with Jamie.
Julia: Yeah, I believe that.
(Julia rolls her eyes and laughs)
Caylee: Alright, let’s make a pact then.
Jeremy: That we won’t get back together with our exes?
Caylee: Yeah. We’ll stay strong and stay clear of facing that trainwreck again.
Jeremy: I’ll shake to that.
(They shake hands)
Caylee: This handshake solidifies that neither of us will date Liam or Jamie ever again.
Jeremy: Agreed.
Julia: You guys are ridiculous. I’ve never witnessed such extreme denial before in my life.
Caylee: It’s not denial, it’s protecting ourselves.
Julia: We’ll see how long this lasts.
(Julia takes the tub of silverware back into the kitchen as Jeremy and Caylee look confident)
Caylee: We’ve got this. It’ll be easy.
Jeremy: Exactly!
(They go back to work)
Main Plot: Wendy[]
(Wendy walks into Candace’s house which is filled with a ton of people. She walks over to Micah, Sabrina, Matt, Tripp, Martin, and Gia)
Wendy: Holy crap, I didn’t know half our class would be here.
Micah: She definitely went all out for this one.
Sabrina: I don’t even want to know how much the catering for this must have cost.
(Nicole eats a piece of bacon from her plate)
Nicole: I’m too encapsulated by this bacon to even care.
(Sean comes back with a new plate)
Sean: They put out warm apple dumplings! This is the greatest day of my life!
(Nicole and Tripp look at each other and then run off to get some and pass Emily as she comes back)
Emily: Does Candace do these things all the time? Cuz I think I might have found my new best friend.
Martin: Not ever this big.
Gia: She should host our graduation here.
Micah: Don’t give her any ideas.
(Candace comes around)
Candace: Hey guys! Are you enjoying?
(Micah kisses Candace)
Micah: This is amazing, babe.
Matt: Seriously, the best.
Candace: Awh, thanks. Wen! You’re finally here!
(Candace hugs her)
Wendy: Yeah, sorry. I woke up late.
Candace: I have some bad news, but-
Alyssa: WENDY!
(Wendy sees Alyssa hanging all over Chase as they walk inside)
Wendy: Oh dear Neptune.
Alyssa: So good to see you here!
(Chase gives her an awkward, fake smile)
Wendy: You too, Alyssa…
(They go get food and Candace gives Wendy a guilty smile)
Candace: I invited everyone in our graduating class, I couldn’t leave them out.
Wendy: You’re fine!
(She sees Jeff walk in)
Wendy: Hold on, I’ll be back.
(Wendy walks over to him as Sabrina cringes)
Sabrina: May the lord have mercy on her soul.
(Jeff smiles when he sees Wendy)
Jeff: Don’t say anything. Just hold it.
(Jeff goes up and softly kisses Wendy on the lips, holding her face and they both smile afterwards)
Jeff: You don’t need to say anything or be embarrassed. It’s okay.
(She hugs him and he holds her)
Jeff: Let’s have a fun time today!
(Wendy and Jeff happily go get food as Sabrina is seen talking to Candace who looks very concerned)
Third Plot: Dex[]
(Dex is seen away from everybody at the hospital sitting alone and Chloe walks over and sits next to him)
Chloe: What’s on your mind? I can see it racing.
Dex: I just…it’s stupid.
Chloe: Come on, tell me.
Dex: I feel partly to blame. That Eliza got attacked.
Chloe: Dex-
Dex: No, I was a total asshole to her yesterday. I ruined her last homecoming. She wouldn’t have left alone if I didn’t toy with her emotions like I did.
Chloe: You don’t have feelings for her, right?
(Dex hesitates for a moment)
Dex: No…
Chloe: Then why’d you go with her?
Dex: The girl I like wants nothing to do with me and I thought maybe I could kinda force myself to fall for Eliza again.
Chloe: Can you just not be single? Why can’t you just be happy on your own?
Dex: Can I be real with you for a sec?
Chloe: Yeah, of course.
Dex: I’m uh…feeling my mind start to slip again. Into the depression.
Chloe: Oh God.
Dex: I know. I thought maybe starting something new with someone would get my mind focused on something else rather than its own deterioration.
Chloe: And it didn’t?
Dex: No. All it did was hurt her and make me feel even worse. Especially now.
Chloe: Well first; don’t you dare blame yourself for what happened. It was just a freak thing and you had no hand in it, no matter what caused her to leave the dance last night.
Dex: Yeah, but-
Chloe: No buts! Don’t go down that path, Dex. I’m serious.
Dex: Okay.
Chloe: Second; go to your fucking therapist ASAP. If they know ahead of time that you feel a bout of depression coming along, they can give you advice on how to fight it off or deal with it better than last time.
Dex: I really wanted to be able to handle this myself. Take my meds and go.
Chloe: Mental illness isn’t that easy. Sometimes you need help and you need to be okay with asking for it if you want to get through it.
Dex: I know.
Chloe: Promise me you’re going to go to talk to someone about this. Don’t try to be the strong guy and deal with it alone.
Dex: I promise. Thanks, Chloe.
Chloe: Of course.
(She rubs his hand as he lets out a deep breath and then puts his hair in a bun)
Main Plot: Wendy[]
(Wendy is sitting in front of Candace’s toilet spitting phlegm and then flushes the toilet. A knock is heard and Candace opens the door)
Candace: Sabrina told me.
Wendy: Wow, I love that keeping secrets doesn’t exist in 2015.
Candace: She said I would be able to help you more than she could. She just wants you to be okay.
Wendy: I am okay.
Candace: Then why are you puking in my bathroom? It’s not food poisoning, not for how much I paid for this catering.
Wendy: I don’t know why!
Candace: So figure out why.
Wendy: I’d rather just forget about it.
Candace: Wendy, if you’re not pregnant then this is something else and you need to see a doctor about it!
Wendy: Don’t say the P word!
Candace: I’m sorry. Wendy you can’t just deny something is going on. You have to take care of yourself.
Wendy: What if I am pregnant? I become the new school whore, my life is over, my parents disown me, I can’t go to college, I work a crappy supermarket job the rest of my life.
Candace: If you are, you have options. And you’re not a whore. You’ve only had sex with one guy your whole life.
Wendy: It doesn’t matter how many people I’ve slept with, people will form their own opinions of my regardless.
Candace: Well fuck them! Who cares?
Wendy: I do!
Candace: I really really think you should take a test, Wen. Just to know sooner rather than later. And you don’t want your options to start dwindling.
Wendy: You mean getting an abortion.
Candace: I know it’s scary but it’s a possibility.
Wendy: I can’t believe this is even happening to me right now. I was so careful. I should have gone on birth control or just not done it at all.
Candace: Stop being so mean to yourself!
Wendy: I can’t help it. If I become the pregnant chick…oh god.
Candace: You could be called worse! I sent Nicole to get some pregnancy tests.
Wendy: Ughhhhhh
Candace: We’re both gonna take one too. Just so we all know.
Wendy: What if they’re all positive.
(They both laugh)
Candace: Then we can take a ton of really cute pics with our giant pregnant bellies and it’ll be super fun. Come on, let’s get back out there.
(Candace helps Wendy off the floor and they go back out)
Sub Plot: Caylee/Jeremy[]
(Later that day, Jeremy is at the supermarket and passes by Kate Stellar)
Mrs. Stellar: Jeremy?
(Jeremy turns and sees her)
Jeremy: Oh hey, Mrs. Stellar! It’s been a while!
(They hug and she looks very happy to see him)
Mrs. Stellar: I didn’t even know you were back in town! Jamie didn’t mention it.
Jeremy: Oh, yeah. I’m back.
Mrs. Stellar: I’m so sorry about what…what happened at your bar.
Jeremy: I think time away from Clearwater after that really helped me. I’m okay now.
Mrs. Stellar: That’s good to hear. Do you and Jamie still talk?
Jeremy: Uh…well-
Mrs. Stellar: I’ll take that as a no.
Jeremy: Things have been complicated between us for a long time.
Mrs. Stellar: If I’m being honest, same with me and her.
Jeremy: It’s sad what she’s gone through.
Mrs. Stellar: To think just a couple of years ago, you were about to become my son-in-law.
Jeremy: We were crazy for almost getting married.
Mrs. Stellar: Eh, she’s done worse.
Jeremy: How is she doing…with the alcohol?
Mrs. Stellar: I don’t want to get my hopes up, but she’s been doing really well ever since coming back from rehab this second time. She has a good job and has been doing really well there.
Jeremy: That’s good to hear. I hate seeing her destroy herself like she used to.
Mrs. Stellar: Me too. As a mother, I feel hopeless. But I know that she’s the only one who can help herself. I can only do so much.
Jeremy: Well, you’ve done a great job.
Mrs. Stellar: Thanks. I know how much she misses you guys. You and Caylee, Julia, everyone.
Jeremy: I think they just wanted to distance themselves from her because they couldn’t watch her ruin her life anymore.
Mrs. Stellar: I wanted to do the same thing sometimes, so trust me, I understand. I think she’s okay though. I really do.
Jeremy: I’ll let them know you said that.
Mrs. Stellar: Well, I’ll let you go, but it was really nice seeing you again. You’ve grown into a great man, Jeremy.
Jeremy: Thanks. I really appreciate that. See you around.
(She smiles and continues shopping as Jeremy stands in place and looks contemplative)
Third Plot: Dex[]
(Scott is heading back to the room after a phone call and almost bumps into Dex as he exits the restroom)
Scott: Oh, sorry.
Dex: You’re fine, babe. Oh uh, I’m sorry. Force of habit.
(Scott chuckles)
Scott: It’s fine, that was funny.
Dex: Where’d you go?
Scott: Just gave Jake and Peyton an update, they’re stuck working right now.
Dex: Oh gotcha.
Scott: You and Chloe looked like you were having a pretty intense conversation earlier. Is everything okay?
Dex: Yeah, I’m just…having a rough time with my head stuff.
Scott: Is your depression coming back?
Dex: I think so.
Scott: Have you been taking your meds?
Dex: Every day.
Scott: Okay, good. Do you remember your coping mechanisms that the doctor taught you?
Dex: Yeah. I might try to paint something later and see if that works.
Scott: Good. The negativity needs to go somewhere, so expel it into something constructive rather than keep it bundled up inside of you.
Dex: Thanks, hopefully I can get past it much better this time around.
Scott: Of course. Let me know if you need anything.
(Scott turns to go back, but then turns back)
Scott: Can I ask you something?
Dex: What’s up?
Scott: Someone left me $750 in my mailbox a few months back. I never found out who it was-
Dex: I didn’t leave you any money. I’m sorry.
Scott: No, I just…still curious about who it was.
Dex: Yeah, it wasn’t me.
Scott: Cool.
(Scott goes back and Dex watches him go)
Main Plot: Wendy[]
(The brunch is starting to clear out and Wendy sees Chase helping to clean up the dishes at the table, so she walks over to him)
Wendy: Hey…need any help?
Chase: Not from you.
(Chase tries to leave, but Wendy blocks him)
Wendy: You haven’t said one word to me since we broke up. I’m happy you have Alyssa, I’m happy you’re happy. Can we just move on and be mature about this?
Chase: I don’t think you understand what you did, Wendy. You ruined my entire fucking life!
Wendy: What?
Chase: I’m staying with my aunt because my mother lost custody of me and my sister after CPS got involved. My aunt might not be able to adopt us, so we’re in total limbo on what’s going to happen to us.
Wendy: Chase, I know you don’t understand why I did what I did, but I saw what she did to your sister and-
Chase: And it was none of your fucking business! But you got involved anyway and ruined everything!
(Alyssa hears him yelling and walks over)
Alyssa: Is everything alright over here? What the fuck is going on?
Chase: Nothing. Stay away from me.
(Alyssa gives her a very dirty look as they leave Candace’s house)
Gia: Wow, that was harsh.
Wendy: Yeah…
(Martin comes by and takes the plates Chase left)
Martin: I know you don’t really understand, Wen, but CPS can sometimes do more hurt than help.
Wendy: I really thought I did the right thing!
Martin: I’m surprised they actually did something about Chase’s mom. There must have been a lot of visible bruising on his sister for them to actually take away her parental rights.
Wendy: What do you mean?
Martin: White people get away with that shit all the time with CPS.
Wendy: How?
Martin: Because their racist asses are too busy making black people’s lives 1000x harder.
Gia: Really?
Martin: When I was 8 my white neighbor called CPS on my mom after they got into an argument and accused my mother of being addicted to drugs.
Gia: What the fuck.
Martin: And my mom happened to have a bottle of oxy in her room because she had hurt her leg right before that. Even though it was prescribed, the CPS dude that came still did a whole ass investigation. As if my single mother who worked 2 jobs didn’t have enough to deal with.
Wendy: What happened?
Martin: After a few weeks they let it go because they didn’t have any incriminating evidence and her manager at work stood up for her, but I’ve heard so many horror stories of other black people who had their families ripped apart by CPS for no reason other then racism.
Wendy: That’s so messed up.
Martin: I know it seems like they know exactly what to do, but situations are more complicated than just calling a hotline and them fixing the problem.
Wendy: Well now I feel like a piece of shit.
Martin: You didn’t know. Just be sympathetic to him. Yeah, his mom was abusive, but if he gets put in the adoption system, that’s a whole different disaster. I’m sure he’s scared.
(Martin and Gia take the plates and go into the kitchen as Wendy looks forlorn and sad)
Sub Plot: Caylee/Jeremy[]
(Hunt is seen picking Cassie up and spinning her around)
Hunt: Be good for Caylee! You guys are gonna have a ton of fun!
Cassie: Caylee said we can watch Princess and the Frog!
Hunt: You love that movie! See, you’re gonna have so much fun!
(Caylee and Julia both gleam as they watch Hunt with his daughter)
Hunt: Now give daddy a kiss!
(Cassie kisses Hunt and he puts her down)
Julia: See you later, kiddo!
(Cassie excitedly hugs Julia and then sits down on the couch)
Julia: Thanks again for watching her tonight, Cay.
Caylee: Oh my god, it’s no problem at all! She’s adorable!
Hunt: If she gives you any trouble just text me.
Caylee: I’m sure she’ll be alright. You guys go enjoy your date night! You both deserve it.
(Caylee pushes them towards the door and they wave bye to Cassie one last time before Caylee shuts the door)
Caylee: You know what goes great with a movie? Popcorn!
Cassie: Yay!
Caylee: Let me make some!
Cassie: Can I use the remote? Daddy never lets me!
Caylee: Do you know how to use it?
Cassie: My mommy lets me use Netflix all the time!
(Caylee starts making the popcorn and talks under her breath)
Caylee: Toddlers can use Netflix, Jesus.
(The doorbell rings and Cassie jumps up)
Cassie: Who is it?!
Caylee: I don’t know! I’ll go check.
(Caylee opens the door and sees Liam standing there)
Liam: Hey! Sorry, I felt kind of weird about our encounter this morning. Can I come in?
Caylee: I uh...I’m babysitting.
(Liam peeks inside and sees Cassie easily using the remote)
Liam: Who’s that?
Caylee: Julia’s boyfriend’s kid. She’s great.
Liam: Aw cute.
Caylee: I uh… should get back to that.
Liam: Caylee wait...I uh. When I was away...I didn’t think about anybody else but you. I missed you so much.
Caylee: Liam-
Liam: I just...I hate that I made you feel like you weren’t enough for me. You’re everything I ever wanted. And I know that now more than ever.
Caylee: That’s sweet.
Liam: Let me take you out. I’m not saying we need to get back together right away, but...just give me another chance.
(Caylee stutters for a few seconds)
Caylee: I can’t. I’m sorry, Liam. I’m just...totally focused on this restaurant and-
Liam: It’s okay...I don’t need a million excuses. Just know the offer’s always on the table.
(He heads back to his car as Caylee looks upset and heads back to the kitchen to get the popcorn)
Cassie: Was that your booooooyfriend?
Caylee: He used to be.
Cassie: OOOOOOOOH!
Caylee: Did you get the movie ready?
Cassie: Yeah!
Caylee: Then let’s start it!
(They start watching the movie as Caylee looks upset)
Main Plot: Wendy[]
(Wendy, Candace, and Nicole are all standing together side to side in Candace’s bathroom)
Nicole: How many minutes has it been?
Candace: Only like 1.
Wendy: Is it bad I’m hoping they’re either all positive or all negative?
Nicole: That’d be amazing. Give us a reality show, E!
Candace: I think if mine were positive, I’d get an abortion.
Nicole: Same.
Candace: What about you, Wen?
Wendy: I don’t think I could go along with it. I’m all for giving women the right to choose, but I don’t think I could do it myself.
Nicole: That’s okay. Would you do adoption then?
Wendy: I honestly don’t know…
Candace: Would Sean ever speak to you again if you were pregnant?
Nicole: I don’t know. He’s so nice, I couldn’t see him just dipping out. What about Micah?
Candace: No, he’d be okay. Jeff on the other hand…
Wendy: It wouldn’t be his.
Nicole: Yeah, that complicates things.
Candace: He’s such a goof, I can’t even picture him having the mental capacity to raise a kid.
Nicole: He’s not mature enough to raise a kid.
Wendy: And we are?
Candace: Tea.
Nicole: Okay, I’m checking.
(She walks over to the table and sees two pregnancy tests that are negative and one that is positive)
Nicole: Holy shit.
Candace: Oh god, I can’t look. Is it bad?
(Nicole holds up the positive test)
Wendy: Oh god. Whose is it?
Nicole: Chase is a daddy…
(Wendy’s jaw drops and she loses all the color in her face)
Candace: Oh my god…
(Candace hugs Wendy who stands completely still and obviously shaken)
Nicole: It’s all gonna be okay.
(Nicole holds Wendy’s hands as she continues to stay frozen in place)
Third Plot: Dex[]
(Eliza’s friends are piling into her room as she sits in a hospital gown with bruises on her face)
Eliza: Awh, thanks so much for coming and waiting that long, guys.
Scott: We’re just happy you’re okay.
Moon: Do you remember what happened?
Eliza: I was walking home and this guy tried grabbing my bag and when I tried to fight him off, he smashed my face into a gate and that’s the last thing I remember.
Lana: Oh damn.
Eliza: Hence why my face looks like a zombie.
Scott: It’s not that bad!
Chloe: Eric totally has you beat when it comes to post-violence face bruising.
(They all look at her)
Chloe: Wow, even I know that was DARK.
Eliza: Well, thanks I guess!
Brittany: Are they gonna let you go home?
Eliza: They want me to stay overnight just to make sure there’s no bleeding in my head. But I should be out tomorrow.
Scott: Thank God it wasn’t worse.
Lana: Right.
Scott: Were you scared when it was going down?
Eliza: I didn’t really have time to be scared...it all happened so fast.
Chloe: How do you feel now?
Eliza: I’m a little shaken but...I’ll be okay. It was just a freak thing that happened. I’m just glad I’m okay.
Brittany: Agreed.
Dex: Do you guys mind if I uh...have a minute alone?
(They all leave and Eliza looks solemn as Dex looks at her)
Dex: I can’t even begin to express how sorry I am that-
Eliza: I knew you were probably out there blaming yourself. Dex, it’s not your fault. It was my dumb decision to walk home alone at night.
Dex: But if-
Eliza: Stop, seriously.
Dex: I’m just sorry about everything.
Eliza: I can accept you not wanting to be with me. I just...wish you hadn’t have led me on.
Dex: That was so shitty of me. I thought maybe I could make it work but-
Eliza: But you like Victoria, who likes Eric. And here we are in another love triangle.
Dex: Why does this always happen to us?
Eliza: Consider it over. I’m moving on, I’m fine being single.
Dex: Are you sure?
Eliza: Yeah. I think I was holding on to something that doesn’t exist anymore.
Dex: How we used to be?
Eliza: But we were never okay. I was always awful to you and we were always toxic together.
Dex: I guess last night just proved that again.
Eliza: Exactly. Go out there and be happy, Dex. I don’t care if it’s with Victoria or Scott, or whoever. Just go be happy. You deserve it.
Dex: You do too!
Eliza: I am happy. I have so many great friends out there, my family is finally in a great place, I don’t need a boyfriend to make it better.
Dex: I’m glad. So...we’re good?
Eliza: We’re good. Let’s try this new thing for us called being friends.
Dex: Ooh, this is new territory for us.
Eliza: I’m excited for it!
Dex: Same.
Eliza: You wanna bring everyone back in?
Dex: Yeah! I’m gonna head out.
Eliza: Thanks again for coming.
Dex: Of course.
(Dex walks out and Eliza looks content)
Sub Plot: Caylee/Jeremy[]
(Jeremy is sitting in his room in Liam’s house and his phone rings. He sees its Jamie and is hesitant to answer, but does after a few moments)
Jeremy: Hey.
Jamie: Hey! How are you?
Jeremy: I’m pretty good! How about you?
Jamie: I’m great. I heard you’re working at Caylee’s restaurant now. That’s awesome.
Jeremy: Yeah! It’s really fun.
Jamie: I bet. So uh...I heard you and my mom had a conversation today. I’m really sorry she brought up all the stuff from high school and-
Jeremy: Oh my god, don’t apologize! It was...nice.
Jamie: I wasn’t sure if she said anything weird or not.
Jeremy: No! It was a good conversation. I haven’t seen her in ages, so it was nice to catch up.
Jamie: I’m glad it wasn’t weird.
Jeremy: Naw.
Jamie: Okay, just wanted to check in. Maybe I’ll have to come in to Amy’s and see how good at being a waiter you are.
Jeremy: Oh, I will blow your mind with my waitering skills!
Jamie: Waitering isn’t even a word, so I’m not convinced.
Jeremy: Just you wait, girlie. You’ll regret those words!
(They both laugh)
Jamie: See you doin then!
Jeremy: For sure. Bye.
(He hangs up and looks regretful as Liam’s mom walks in with bags of groceries)
Jeremy: I went grocery shopping earlier!
Ms. Jacobs: You didn’t take the list...and forgot 10 things in it
Jeremy: Oops...sorry.
Ms. Jacobs: It’s alright, I just swang by after work. What’s wrong? You look...perplexed.
Jeremy: I feel like I’m putting myself in a kind of bad position. With my ex.
Ms. Jacobs: I know a lot about that.
Jeremy: How so?
Ms. Jacobs: You know Liam’s father was...messed up in the head and now rightfully in prison. We met up one night on a fluke and slept together. Even though I knew he was garbage, I still tried to believe he was the guy I first met. But he never was that guy.
Jeremy: So you’re saying I should avoid her?
Ms. Jacobs: Well I’m sure your situation isn’t as intense as mine was.
Jeremy: No. She’s an alcoholic though. Well, recovering.
Ms. Jacobs: That complicates things.
Jeremy: Yeah. Do you regret sleeping with your ex again?
Ms. Jacobs: More than anything. I ended up getting pregnant...that’s so messed up. I had a baby with a pedophile.
Jeremy: What happened to the baby?
Ms. Jacobs: I put him up for adoption. I hope he’s having a good life. Lord knows I couldn’t have given him one.
Jeremy: Damn…
Ms. Jacobs: I don’t know this girl or everything you two have been through. But step outside of yourself. If you would smack yourself for making the decisions you are, then don’t make them.
Jeremy: That’s a funny way to look at it.
Ms. Jacobs: It works! You’re a good guy with a great head on your shoulders. You can figure it out…
(She starts putting the groceries away as Jeremy lays back on the couch looking exhausted)
Third Plot: Dex[]
(Dex is in his room painting as his mom knocks on the door and walks in with his laundry)
Mrs. Smith: Oh my god, Dex. That’s beautiful. What is it?
Dex: I’m not sure yet.
Mrs. Smith: I haven’t seen you do your art in so long.
Dex: I know, I really lost it for a while.
Mrs. Smith: Well you haven’t lost your touch.
Dex: Thanks. Mom, will you come with me to my therapy appointment tomorrow?
Mrs. Smith: You’re going back to therapy?
Dex: I really need it right now. My depression is coming back I think.
Mrs. Smith: What happened to cause your depression to come back?
Dex: Nothing really needs to trigger it. Sometimes it just...comes.
Mrs. Smith: Of course I’ll go with you. I might be a little out of my element but-
Dex: My doctor is really nice, he’ll answer all your questions and stuff.
Mrs. Smith: I’m happy you’re taking care of yourself. It’s pretty blatantly obvious that your father and I didn’t know how to take care of this for you.
Dex: It’s okay. I’m sure when you had a son, you weren’t expecting him to be a mentally ill artist who dated a dude.
Mrs. Smith: You’re right...but the second I was able to rid myself of any expectations I had for you, I got to love you for who you really are. And you’re amazing.
(Dex smiles)
Mrs. Smith: I know your father has reacted poorly to the Scott situation and the depression but...give him time. He’ll come around.
Dex: Well Scott and I are done for good so he won’t have to worry about that anymore.
Mrs. Smith: You don’t think you’ll date another boy?
Dex: No. I fell in love with him as a person. But I wasn’t attracted to him because he was a guy, just because he was Scott. Does that make sense?
Mrs. Smith: It does. Just do what makes you happy, honey. Don’t worry about us. You won’t have to worry about me. I’ll always be behind you.
(She kisses his head and leaves as Dex looks back at his painting and continues, looking inspired)
Sub Plot: Caylee/Jeremy[]
(Caylee and Jeremy are sitting on her couch watching a kids show as Cassie sleeps on the other couch)
Jeremy: I feel so bad for kids nowadays. The shit they have is garbage.
Caylee: Agreed. I’ll take Rugrats and Spongebob any day.
(Julia and Hunt come back)
Caylee: Hey guys! How was your date?
Hunt: Great! How was Cassie?
Caylee: She was perfect. No issues at all.
(He picks her up and carries her into their room)
Julia: Thanks again for watching her, Cay. We needed this night out.
Caylee: Anytime, babe.
Julia: Night guys!
Jeremy: Night, Jules!
(She closes the door and Jeremy scoffs)
Jeremy: Why can’t I find that? What they have.
Caylee: It came out of nowhere for them. They met one day and suddenly it all clicked.
Jeremy: That’s perfect.
Caylee: I know. But we gotta stay strong.
Jeremy: I may have invited Jamie to get lunch at Amy’s.
Caylee: Jesus Christ.
Jeremy: I’m GARBAGE.
Caylee: Liam came by tonight and asked me out again and I said no. Again.
Jeremy: Alright, so you’re the winner of the pact. Congratulations.
Caylee: Thank you! Now you owe me $500.
Jeremy: We never agreed to that!
Caylee: I’ll take it out of your next paycheck, it’s okay!
(They both laugh)
Jeremy: Ugh, why are we even worried about wanting a perfect relationship. We’re still so young. We have our entire lives.
Caylee: Cuz everyone dreams of that perfect high school sweetheart story. And we both thought we had that. Which makes it so hard to let them go.
Jeremy: Well fuck that! We have all the time in the world.
Caylee: Yeah! We can rock the single life!
Jeremy: We have a world of opportunity in front of us!
Caylee: Yes! Exactly! So let’s put on some damn Rugrats and enjoy it!
Jeremy: DEAL!
(She changes the channel and they both look happy)
Main Plot: Wendy[]
(Wendy is alone at home crying and hears a knock on the door, so she composes herself and opens it, seeing Jeff)
Jeff: Awh, you’re crying. Should I not have come by? Is this a bad time?
(Wendy wipes her tears and giggles)
Wendy: You’re too sweet. It’s okay. What’s up.
Jeff: Well I was gonna come here all stern and be like whoa you left me hanging at Candace’s and I’m getting mixed signals. Do you want to be with me or not. Then I was gonna kiss you. But now you’re crying and I’m scared so that plan’s out the window!
Wendy: Oh my god, I’m so sorry, Jeff. I kind of got some news at Candace’s and booked it.
Jeff: Is everything okay?
(Wendy starts crying again softly)
Wendy: Not really.
Jeff: What is it?
Wendy: I can’t tell you.
(She sniffles and continues to try not to cry, but does)
Jeff: Why not?
Wendy: Because then I’ll lose you and I don’t wanna lose you.
Jeff: Wendy, I’m head over heels for you. Nothing you could say could change that.
Wendy: I’m…pregnant.
(She starts crying harder and Jeff looks shocked for a moment, but then hugs her tightly as she cries into his chest)
Jeff: Do you know what you’re going to do yet?
Wendy: No, not at all.
Jeff: Alright...we can figure it out.
(Wendy looks up at him)
Wendy: You really wanna date the pregnant girl?
(Jeff kisses her)
Jeff: Did that answer your question?
(Wendy kisses him and they continue to make out in her doorway as a butterfly flies past them)
