It happened again.
Third time this year.
WOMAN: Less than last year, so progress.
I had the full-on crazy eyes.
Optic nerve spasms.
You get anxious.
Your brain tenses.

MISS HART: Isn't that cool?
That's cymatics.
Patterns created

All that means is the sound frequency
creates a pattern.
[WHINING CONTINUES]
[GASPS]
Oh, Aisha!
Can you--can you call a medic, please?
People were staring
like they could see through me,
like I was a freak,
which, you know, maybe I am.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Aisha, you suffer from a disease
for which there is no cure.
You're human.
Should we end with a meditation?
Okay.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
- Control your breathing.
Focus only on my voice.
And in and out.

over here now.
Ooh, and bring Levi. Okay, bye.
Hey, Picasso.
You'll still love me if I never escape
the middle of nowhere.
Right?
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey.
- Hey.
I was just gonna hop on over to Cari's
house to study for a chem final, so
Yeah, okay.
Have you heard anything back
from RISD yet?
- No.
- No?
Well, baby, I really wish
that you would reconsider CalArts.
Listen, they have a great art department.
The dean there thinks
you're really talented,
and it's just a few hours' drive,
you know?
Yeah, well, RISD is Rhode Island,
not Mars.
[LAUGHS]
And, um
it's also where Mom--
It's where Mom went.

Yeah.
Okay, well love you.
Love you, too.

- Going at it?
Balls?
Was it touching his balls?
Was it cradling them?
- Stop.
Wait, I thought they had coding
that, like, prevented them
from doing the dirty-dirty.
[CHUCKLES]
I mean, yeah, they do, but is that
your biggest concern right now?
I mean, it's pervy fucked up.
Yeah, and a bit disrespectful.
Okay, but would you feel the same way
if you caught him
jacking it off
with one of those Fleshlight thingies?

It looks like a flashlight,
but it has a pussy inside,

I'm gonna fuck you up, Greg!
Just bringing other people in,
that's all.
Really?
Caleb Hass?
You've got no right to talk.
Look, Tio told me
about these cheat codes, okay?
He said that you can use them
to get around the emBed's limits
and get them to do stuff.
I honestly didn't even think
it was gonna work, and then when it did,
I just wanted to see if it was,
I don't know, fucking different.
Aw.
Well, was it?
Hmm?
Tell me all about it.
- Look, I'm sorry, okay?
But it was a shitty bot.
It was a thing.
It doesn't mean anything.
Well, it means something to me,
and it matters
because you're supposed to be
my boyfriend,
and now you're not.
