Pointe Garden Society"
- Hey.
- Hey. This is Cricket.
I was just wondering why
you're being such a dick.
I'm just tired of being
your shoulder to cry on.
This just isn't working right now.
- Have any sold?
- Enough to make rent.
Who's ever bought a painting
from a coffee shop wall?
Someone who loves art?
Someone who loves her son.
You've spent thousands of dollars.
This is straight-up blackmail.
Marilyn, I need a favor.
You know I'd love to help.
What if it really pissed
off my mother-in-law?
Friends.
[LIGHT MUSIC]
[LAUGHS]
Where are you going?
- Dubai.
- Wait, no.
Owning a global security
firm means I gotta be global.
If you ever want to get back
in the game, we need a closer.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- What's wrong?
My daughter just threw up.
She really needs her mom. Sorry.
We're out of gas.
With a dead person in the trunk?
You don't have any cash, do you?
You're all I got.
But I'm also gonna need that bracelet.
I had to do something that
might not be good for us.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[GASPING]
Thirsty?
[GASPS]
You're up early.
Thought you were just getting
one more drink with your friends.
Oh, you know how it goes.
Do I?
One drink turns into two.
And, of course, I didn't eat
anything during the auction
because I was so nervous.
Next thing I know, we're all at Birdie's
having a giant dance party.
Fun.
Thanks for relieving
the babysitter, hon.
You don't look drunk.
[CHUCKLES]
How do I look, Tucker?
Guilty.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[SCOFFS]
Look, I'm sorry for coming home so late.
- I should have called.
- What were you really doing?
What, you want my specific dance moves?
I mean, I started with the stanky leg.
- Just be straight with me.
- Then I went into the Nae Nae.
- You have a tell.
- Huh?
Some people blink, some twitch.
But everyone does
something when they're lying.
We'll never be the same.
We made a deal.
I know.
No more secrets.
I know. I know.
I saw Gary staring at you from the bar.
I didn't cheat.
He was drooling like you were a T-bone.
Believe me.
You don't have to worry
about Gary ever again.
Then what did you do?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[BRIGHT MUSIC]
[PHONE BUZZING]
Catherine speaking.
Hi, Mrs. Crosby.
Pointe Credit Union calling.
We just wanted to confirm
a cash advance at Motown Casino.
No, that's not us.
So you haven't made any
charges at Motown Casino
in the past three days?
I've never even been there,
and my husband's overseas.
Okay, before I connect
you to the fraud department,
I'll need to verify the account.
Bear with me.
My husband usually
deals with this stuff.
No problem.
I just need the last
four digits of the card.
[SUPERORGANISM'S "OH COME ON"]
Ma'am?
Are you there?
I don't know much about flowers,
but I bet growing a garden is
just like growing a business.
I'm pretty busy and I have to leave ♪
But soon enough,
I'll be back in Boston ♪
Success comes from planting
the right people under you.
- Melatonin knock me out ♪
- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
It's a foreign country
and I'm all freaked out ♪
'Cause no matter what
you have to weather,
you need good, solid roots.
Oh, come on ♪
Turn it on ♪
So your business can reap what it sows.
Oh, come on ♪
- Mm.
- Hey.
Want to sneak into the
movies without paying tonight?
I gotta finish this thing.
Mm. Boo.
I know.
Breakfast is served.
Oh, come on ♪
[SIGHS]
But stray too far from
who you are as a company,
and the whole enterprise
withers on the vine.
I'd like an oat milk latte, please.
And that postmodern,
antiauthoritarian painting.
Are you sure?
Plus the latte.
Just feels like a
pretty big impulse buy.
Yeah, I'll definitely regret it,
but the alternative is way worse.
That'll be $2,106.35.
Oh, come on ♪
Here she is.
Huh?
[LAUGHS]
So where'd my money go?
Well, Matador red paint
with iconic SS stripes.
Rewired original
automatic convertible top.
Sick.
396-cubic inch big block
V8, rebuilt transmission,
plus original all-black interior
and rally wheels.
Like she just rolled out of the factory.
And the original stereo
that only plays classic rock.
[LAUGHS]
- Connor was right about you.
- Uh-oh.
Don't listen to him.
He said you'd make me a lot of money.
Well, I really appreciate
the investment.
[EXHALES] All right.
Fire her up.
Oh, still making her pretty.
Oh, come on, I'm not gonna judge.
Nah, I'd rather wait till she's ready.
What's going on here, Brett?
Carburetor's taking longer
than expected to rebuild.
This thing gonna run or not?
[CHUCKLES]
It wouldn't be a classic
if it was easy, right?
Yeah.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Look, I'm just the money guy.
I don't know dick about cars.
I won't let you down, man.
But I do know we're not getting paid
if you're just putting
lipstick on a pig.
That was the last time, right?
[CHUCKLES]
You've been saying
that for three weeks now.
Well, next time, I'll mean it.
- [RADIO CRACKLES]
- Unit 35, what's your 20?
Still 10-31.
- What's that?
- Homeowner in distress.
Oh.
In need of immediate assistance.
Mm.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Excuse me, officer.
You're blowing up.
Must have fallen out downstairs
when you stripped
each other's clothes off.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Yeah, thanks.
- I think it's your wife.
- Okay, Olga.
Back to pretending to work.
[PLUCKY MUSIC]
[EXHALES]
Gather round, my little garden gnomes.
Lots of work to do and no time to do it.
Sorry.
I couldn't find a meter.
Next time, carpool.
What are we doing here?
Operation Warp Seed.
Bulbs?
Not just any bulbs.
Japanese ranunculus.
You can't get those in the States.
Mm.
Donna smuggled them back
from a trade fair in Tokyo.
Smuggled them how?
You just let Donna worry
about both those things.
I can't have illegal bulbs in here.
Whoa. Dude, relax.
[SIGHS] Sorry.
Cricket's got me on this cleanse.
- Oh, what day are you?
- Starving.
Do you bitches want to
beat Bloomfield Hills or not?
Come on, now.
Now, now, now, now, now,
now, now, now, now, now.
Let's go. Lock and load.
Hoo-rah!
Uh, any questions?
Actually, yeah. I have a lot.
I have four more boxes in my car.
Okay, now I seriously need to know
how Donna smuggled these.
[WHISPERING] All you need to know
is that she is healing beautifully.
[NORMALLY] But what I need to know
is where in the heck
my vice president is.
Where is she? Hmm?
[PHONE CHIMING]
[TENSE MUSIC]
You were right.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Those things really do come in handy.
You want a drink?
I want to know what's going on.
If I tell you,
we'll never be the same.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I'll have what you're having.
I don't know. Maybe
we expanded too fast.
But in order to do it right,
you gotta take on some debt.
And I've just been trying
to dig out of this hole
for the past eight months.
Where have you been going?
Vegas. Atlantic City.
Sometimes the casino downtown.
Oh, my God.
Whoever will comp me a room
while I try to win enough
to pay for private school
or the tennis club or whatever.
So Dubai, Singapore, India
It's all dried up.
Do you have any idea how
worried the kids have been
thinking you were so far away?
I was doing it for them.
Why couldn't you just tell me?
I didn't want to give you a
reason to find someone else.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm not gonna leave you
just because we can't vacation
at Saint Barts anymore.
A lot of women in this town would.
Well, I'm not one of them.
I can't do it anymore.
I got you.
I'm just so tired.
Promise me something.
Whatever it takes.
No more secrets.
[BRIGHT MUSIC]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Knock, knock.
Oh. Good morning.
How's it feel to be back home?
Like I never left.
Clearly some very important people feel
you deserve a second chance.
Yeah.
Principal Andrews didn't
really have my back.
And that's why he's
now in the cutthroat world
of multi-level marketing
selling time-shares.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- Well, now you're here.
But there's only so much I can do.
Still got to watch yourself.
Excuse me?
The mayor's wife may
have strong-armed the board
to bring you back, but that doesn't mean
the parents can't take you down again.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Know why these go on our desks?
[SCOFFS] To poison us?
[LAUGHS]
In the 18th century,
teachers were given food
because they were so underpaid.
Oh, nothing really has changed.
Just be smart, Alice.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[UPLIFTING MUSIC]
[LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
Hm.
It's completely corroded.
[WHIRRING]
Did you try nail polish remover?
It's had multiple mani-pedis.
Okay, just breathe.
- I'm breathing.
- [LAUGHS]
It's normal to be this cranky
on day three of a cleanse.
I'm not cranky. I'm hungry.
That's just the ketosis
making you say that.
I need this stupid carburetor
to do what carburetors do.
Maybe it's just the universe suggesting
that you switch frequencies.
The hell does that mean?
Maybe you shouldn't be
supporting gas-powered cars.
Seriously?
They're dinosaurs,
but if dinosaurs killed the world
instead of the other way around.
Okay.
This isn't just a gas-powered car.
Through your nose.
This is a 1968 Camaro with a big block.
Out through your mouth.
The Sistine Chapel on wheels.
Fight it, Brett.
[EXHALES]
What's even in this?
It's alkaline-based to
reset your digestive system.
- So it cleans me out.
- Completely restores you.
That's exactly what
I've been looking for.
Good.
[QUIRKY MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
Hey.
- Want me to do pickup?
- Sure.
Thought I'd surprise the kids.
- That'd be great.
- All right.
[CHUCKLES]
[EXHALES]
Okay.
[UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC]
Hi, Kayla. It's Catherine Crosby.
I sold your house at 2567 Devonshire.
Nicole, how are the kids?
Andrea, how are you?
Hey, Jerome. Hello, Elaine.
Yes, I'm finally going out on my own.
Darby.
The market is very
favorable to sellers right now.
I'm the king, give me my crown ♪
If you were looking to upgrade
okay, well, if you change your mind,
you know where to find me.
Baby, I'm the king ♪
Watch me as I do my thing ♪
Hi, Karen.
It's Catherine Crosby.
I sold your house at 714 Bishop.
Oh.
You know, we actually met once.
- Through my husband?
- Yep.
I used to do event security for him
before I joined the academy.
Sugar?
I'm good.
So
what can I help you with?
Is that your SUV in the driveway?
Mm-hmm, yes.
And did you take that
to the garden club party
the other night?
Actually, we took my husband's car.
Would that be a black Cadillac?
[COUGHS]
[TENSE MUSIC]
Am I in some kind of trouble?
Why would you be in any trouble?
My husband drives a Mercedes.
And did you come
home with him that night?
Yes, we were exhausted.
So you came straight
home with your husband.
Paid the babysitter,
watched about 20 minutes
of some cake competition
show, and passed out.
And you didn't go anywhere
else with any friends?
What's this about?
Picked this up off a
traffic stop last night.
We're out of gas. Do you
have any cash on you?
But I'm also gonna need that bracelet.
I had to do something that
might not be good for us.
[GASPS]
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Thank the jeweler.
Luckily, there's not that
many Tuckers in town.
Who had it?
Someone with a real
crazy story about you.
[EXHALES]
Guess all that matters is,
now my husband doesn't
have to buy me a new one.
[LAUGHS]
You know what?
It might be easier if you
come on down to the station
so we can just clear this all up.
All right. Good morning.
Glad you're back, Ms. Morris.
Oh. Thanks, Peyton.
I hope there's no hard feelings.
Why don't we just start over?
Well, that might be tough.
I'm wearing the same
underwear you sniffed.
Hm.
[LAUGHS] I'm just kidding.
[TENSE MUSIC]
- Sup, boy?
- All right.
All right, people.
Let's find your seats.
- Sup?
- Come on.
Okay, so let's talk about
last night's assignment
the first part of Jean-Paul
Sartre's "No Exit."
How are we all feeling?
Yes, Peyton.
Challenged.
In what way?
I don't know.
You know, it just kind of made me think
about how when life, like, sucks,
you could be stuck in it forever.
[CHUCKLES] Well, that's existentialism.
- And how is that good for us?
- What do you mean?
Well, just given all the
stress in the world today,
learning how life has no meaning
could be really damaging
to our mental health.
[CLASS MUTTERING]
Existentialism teaches us the importance
of freedom of choice, guys.
Oh, cool.
Okay, then I'd like to choose
to read something else.
Well, this is the unit we're studying.
But that was your choice.
Because I'm the teacher, Peyton.
Yeah, but you're not in charge of, like,
our well-being, right?
That's our parents.
Your parents also had
to read these books.
That's why my mom
thinks they're inappropriate.
She said that?
She's just really worried
about how you'd handle
a subject like this, you know?
No, I don't, actually.
Just given how insensitive you've been
to students in the past.
Well, your mom is welcome
to come and talk to
me about the curriculum.
Yeah, that didn't go so
well for you last time, did it?
- [CLASS MUTTERING]
- Excuse me?
No offense, okay.
I'm just looking out for your job.
My mom would have a problem too.
Who else feels the same
way about existentialism?
Okay.
[BRIGHT MUSIC]
- You're right.
- What?
Yeah, no, it seems like you
all understand the basics,
so no need to do the reading.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
You can tell your mom you get an A.
- Awesome.
- Wait, why does he get an A?
- You all get A's.
- [CLASS CHATTERING EXCITEDLY]
Yeah, every single one of you.
- Is this a joke?
- For the rest of the semester,
as long as you come
to class, you get an A.
[ALL CHEERING]
Okay, wait, so what are
we gonna actually, like, do?
Um
who's read "Harry Potter"?
- Oh! Come on.
- Of course.
You know what, forget it.
Let's just watch the movies.
[ALL CHEERING]
Come on.
Keep it up, everyone.
Ten more minutes and
then we'll take a break.
Oh, Alice.
Is it daylight savings
time where you live?
No.
Just wondering why you're an hour late.
[HUSKILY] Carburetor.
Carburetor.
[SOFTLY] You're so hot, baby.
You're the sexiest
sapling I've ever seen.
What are you doing?
Making the seeds grow.
They apparently
respond to low vibrations.
So you're talking dirty to dirt?
[NORMALLY] We'll see
whose sapling gets erect first.
[LAUGHS]
Why isn't Brett here?
[NORMALLY] Oh, he's super stressed.
Something broke on
the car he's working on.
Don't worry. You can rage
about him to the plants.
They like the screaming.
[CHUCKLES]
[SOFTLY] I'm sorry.
You were right.
I didn't appreciate you.
It's like when someone's such
a good friend all of the time,
you get spoiled.
Not that I'm making excuses or whatever.
Sometimes I just wish we could be normal
for, like, 20 minutes.
And then you can go
back to being mad at me
for as long as you want.
I just I don't know, I really
I really miss you.
No crying.
Come on.
Tears disrupt the pH of the soil.
You think that's what
your fight was about?
Oh, you poor thing.
He said I take him for granted.
That's not what it was about, girl.
But it's true.
Brett didn't go buck wild on dating apps
because you forgot to thank
him for a ride to the airport.
In the wise words of my Great Aunt Rose,
you get over someone by
getting under someone else.
What? No. Come on.
You're his emergency contact, Alice.
Why didn't he say anything?
You're married.
Tía Rose also had a
lot of thoughts on fidelity.
Oh, God.
I'm such an idiot.
Oh.
It's not the size of your stamen.
It's how you use it.
[HUSKILY] Carburetor.
Why do you keep saying that?
[NORMALLY] It's stuck in my head.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- It's so weird.
It's just the car part
Brett's trying to find.
Your timing was perfect.
I waited so long for
my furniture to arrive,
when it finally did, I
was sick of the house.
You could just redecorate.
Or sell it fully
furnished and start over.
Haven't changed a bit, Daisy.
So it's 5 bed, 6 1/2 bath,
blah, blah, blah, but
that's not why I bought it.
[PLUCKY MUSIC]
This is way bigger than
the loft I sold you downtown.
Right?
Too bad I'm traveling
too much to enjoy it.
Well, in this neighborhood,
I'm afraid you're never
gonna get asking for this.
That doesn't sound like
the Catherine I remember.
You're gonna get way over.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- That's my girl.
[LAUGHS]
So I'll send you the paperwork.
Hello?
Mind if I keep my shoes on?
Full disclosure, you're
not the only realtor
- in the running.
- Wow, this place is fab.
I'm upstairs.
But we go way back.
With Gary.
Believe me, I am better off without him.
You've never sold a house without him.
[SIGHS] So who's my competition?
Someone who loves a good fight.
Hi, Pierce.
Hi.
Oh, you two already know each other?
Oh, I tried to hire her.
Timing just didn't work out.
She is a tremendous realtor, Daisy.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
But an even better mom.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Hm. I like to find a balance.
Don't let her fool you
she moms so hard,
it comes before everything else.
You have kids, Daisy?
Sadly, work is my baby.
Hm. You and me both.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
How many times are we gonna go over it?
Nothing's changed.
One more time for the cheap seats.
Hey, she gave it to me.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Traded it for gas for her Cadillac.
Okay, it's a $15,000 bracelet.
First she tried to sell me pills.
I have never seen this
man before in my life.
Uh, she was wearing a fancy blue dress.
Uh, maybe he saw me at the gala.
She was with a friend in a red dress.
He probably had someone on the inside
caterer, coat check.
- You don't got to believe me.
- Yeah, we don't, mister.
Ask Pete.
Who's Pete?
Homeless dude who
lives behind the mini mart.
He talked to the friend.
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
Look how grown you are.
- [LAUGHS]
- Hey, Duncan.
Good to see you, man.
Is that the thief?
Not sure yet.
Well, my wife came home with me.
Case closed.
Still should track down this Pete guy.
Yeah, but why go through all the effort?
Well, I gotta cover my bases.
You know, the whole
innocent till proven guilty.
Gas stations have security cameras.
- Hm?
- [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
I mean, why waste any more time?
[BLUESY COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
What model do you need?
'68 Camaro.
Aren't the Chevy
parts on the other side?
They moved them.
Let's divide and conquer.
How'd you know I was here?
Where else are you
gonna find a '68 carburetor?
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Take a seat.
What's going on?
Employee quarterly review.
I'll stand, thank you.
How do you think your
performance has been lately?
Exceptional.
Well, I see room for improvement.
Mm. Oh, yeah?
Where?
For example, how you treat my boyfriend.
He's got a wife.
You need to be nicer to him.
What's the point?
This guy's not sticking around.
- You don't know that.
- They call this a delusionship.
I'm not delulu, Olga.
TikTok would disagree.
We could totally end up together.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
Ford goes to college.
He finally leaves his wife.
And then what?
You all spend Christmas together
like one of those Hallmark movies?
It's not so crazy.
I am the kid's biological mother.
Sounds like you've got it
all figured out, Ms. Bradley.
Well, it's what I want.
Sure it's what he wants?
You can go now.
Is all this going in my file?
We'll discuss it next quarter.
[SOFT MUSIC]
So I wait till Cricket's asleep,
and then I hit the drive-through.
So you've just been
shame-eating in your car?
And brushing my teeth so
she doesn't smell it on me.
Oh, my God. You did not.
I cannot tell you how good
Taco Bell tastes when it's forbidden.
Why would you even think
you could not eat for five days?
Part of me wanted to
prove to her I was that guy.
You eat a second lunch.
Most important meal of the day.
Doug once tried to get me into jogging.
Oh, yeah, I remember.
You used to hide at the coffee shop
for, like, half an hour.
- 15-minute mile.
- Yep.
Until Doug came in and found
you pounding an iced mocha.
I'm a bad faker.
Me too, I guess.
It's just hard being
something you're not.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
Wait, what model was it again?
RS.
- No way.
- Way.
I can't believe it!
It was sitting right there.
You are my lucky charm.
I'm sorry I can't be more.
Oh, man.
Was it that obvious?
You did cry at my birthday.
I was proud you made it to 30.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
I feel so stupid.
I'm the stupid one.
So what do we do now?
Taco Bell run.
Duh.
[BOTH LAUGH]
- Your
- You're buying.
Oh, I was gonna say your treat.
You're the one with the new job.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Half day?
School's over.
- Bad joke.
- Oh. What's up?
Got a call from Peyton's mom.
Ah, yeah, my old buddy.
She said you started the year off
with an interesting approach.
Look, I can explain.
I don't normally like being
ambushed by parents
No, it wasn't my finest moment.
Peyton's mom would disagree.
What?
Apparently she's over the moon
with your new curriculum.
Huh.
Well, I think my time off taught me
what really matters to students.
Whatever you're doing, keep it up.
Well, I'm happy to do my part.
What if it was bigger?
Still trying to find a cheer
coach, and debate advisor.
Shop department also needs someone
to keep kids from cutting fingers off.
My masters is in English.
All for extra pay, of course.
How much?
[UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC]
Every great home has a story.
And if you'll please follow
me, I'm ready to tell yours.
Let me take you
into the heart and soul of your home.
This oversized Statuario marble island
is perfect for entertaining.
The eased edges give it a
sleek and contemporary feel.
Freestanding soaking tub
with a clean, modern finish.
Custom cabinetry.
This luxurious primary bath
spotlights a single vanity.
With griddle and grill.
Perfect for those
chilly Michigan nights.
[GASPS]
This large private sitting room.
Elegantly positioned to take
advantage of the morning light.
Whether you are a gourmet chef
or you just love hosting dinner parties.
My goal is to make this
seamless and stress-free.
I truly believe your home has
incredible potential in today's market.
And I am confident I can help you
get the best possible price.
- Let's get started!
- When can we get started?
It's just such a hard decision.
You both know your stuff.
And, oh, my God,
you're both so charming.
I didn't get it, did I?
A company of his size,
he has contacts all over the world.
Yeah.
Pretty hard to compete with that.
[CHILDREN CHATTERING]
[SIGHS]
[GRUNTS]
That's literally every day.
Neighbor's kid.
The Garretts.
Yeah. You know them?
They have a toddler
and a seven-year-old.
And my daughter
takes ballet with the girl
that lives in that Tudor.
The house next to it,
they have twin boys,
and they all go to
the best public school
in the district, which is
walking distance from here.
You know the neighborhood.
[PLUCKY MUSIC]
And I know that the
person that buys your house
won't care if there are
soccer balls in their yard.
- Why?
- Because I'm gonna sell it
to the friends of one of these families
so their kids can grow up together.
Wow.
You really do mom hard.
You don't need Goldman's
international contacts.
You need my PTA phone tree.
Think you can close in 60 days?
I once sold 300 Girl Scout cookies
in a weekend.
Even the plain ones?
Mostly plain.
[LAUGHS]
Why don't we go inside
and sign those papers?
Okay, scroll, scroll.
Let's just get to the point
where he said you came in.
Is that even really necessary?
Guy's facing a serious felony.
Well, I don't see any reason
to press charges, right, babe?
Well, it's probably up
to the DA anyway now.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Ugh. Spinning wheel.
You'd think they'd upgrade these things.
