Did you guys hear that?
[SAMEER] Yeah, that's the sound
of us wasting our Friday night.
[NICOLE] I'm serious. Are
you sure no one's here?
[MATTY] Hmm No one alive.
[NICOLE SCOFFS] Thanks.
That's reassuring.
Okay. This is the room where
they supposedly put people
through all sorts of
weird medical experiments.
[NICOLE] What, like
giving a guy two brains?
No. Worse. They all died.
It's been haunted ever since. Ooh
Okay, Mulder, I'm not buying it.
Anyway, I don't think
this whole "dare thing"
is such a good idea anymore.
[SCOFFS] For someone not buying
it, you seem really scared.
I'm not scared. I just
like to sleep naked,
and I'm worried it could
get a little awkward.
[CHUCKLES]
Look, why don't we just leave and
say we slept over? Who's gonna know?
Everybody. That's why we brought her.

All right? I thought I made it
clear you can't do that. All right?
It It's not just me. It's the law.
Your mom always let me park
there, though. So, like
That's 'cause my mom didn't have a car,
so you weren't blocking anything.
And she has dementia, Trey.
Look, I really don't want to
have to talk to your father.
Yeah. Fine. All right. Got you.
His dad should just let
him park in his driveway.
Yeah, who is that?
That's Joe Junior's kid. Joe the Third.
Wait. So his name is Joe Junior, Jr.?
God, we really are a long way from home.
[INTRIGUING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

- Okay. [CHUCKLING]
- Anyway, um, I
I got your bedrooms
upstairs with futons.
Uh, they're pretty much the same,
just one's a little more, uh, zebra-y.
Oh, fun. Devin will take
that one. He loves zebras.
Uh, guys, I, uh
I want you to have a really fun
and also safe summer out here.
And honestly, I I only have one rule.
Oh, uh, apart from the list of rules
I put in your informational packets.
That's lovely. Thank you.
What What What rule is that?
Stay out of the basement.
[MUSIC TURNS OMINOUS]
What do you got in the basement?
[ANTHONY] Just be careful
right here. There's no railing.
- [CECE] Okay, Dad.
- [STAIRS CREAKING]
- Oh Wow.
- [DEVIN] This is cool.
[CECE] Yeah, staying out of
here won't be a problem at all.
Hey, come here.
So, uh, I can't talk
about it quite yet, but
I may have stumbled upon a
new totipotent embryophyte
that could rock the botany world.
The botany world can be rocked?
In certain circumstances, yeah.
- Yeah, it absolutely can be.
- [CECE] Oh.
[ANTHONY] I mean, "rocked"
may not be accurate.
- More like, uh, "disrupt."
- [INTRIGUING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
[DEVIN] Cool.
- [GASPS]
- Don't touch it! Dev
- Jeez.
- God.
Guys, guys no touching.
- Okay.
- Okay.
I'm sorry. It's just

The fathers of botany.
- You know this. You

So, Cec, you're starting
debate camp Monday in the city?
Yup.
- You're looking forward to it?
- Yup.
And you'll be taking the
train every day to the city?
[CECE] Yup.
Right. So, in that packet
that I gave you earlier,
uh, you'll find your very
own personal stun gun.
[CHUCKLING] Yeah.
Um Read the instructions carefully.
Technically, you're a
minor, so you're not allowed.
But as your dad, I'd
rather be safe than sorry.
Anyway, it's it's
amazing. You got in.
I'm really proud of you.
And I used to love camp.
You're gonna have fun.
[SCOFFS] Fun? No, no, let's be clear.
Debate camp isn't fun.
It's a room full of the smartest people
telling you you're wrong.
It's It's intense,
but it it's my thing,
and I have to have a thing
if I want to get into college.
No, but isn't like the
whole point of college,
right, like to figure out your thing
and then graduate with
an extreme amount of debt?
No, no. That's how it used to be.
Now, you have to figure out your
thing to even get into college,
and once you're there,
you pivot to a new thing.
I don't even know why I have
to explain this to you guys.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
- Okay.
- [CHUCKLES]
- You okay?
- I don't know.
I mean, she's just been in
a mood for, like [INHALES]
seventeen years.
How about you? How you doing?
Everything's coo'. [CLEARS THROAT]
I mean, given everything
that happened
I I said I said
I'm coo', you know?
Dev, you got suspended
for fighting, okay?
- That isn't "coo."
- Okay, that guy started it.
Yeah, that doesn't mean
you have to finish it.
You gotta learn, sometimes
it's okay to back down.
Anyway, everything here is pretty good.
I just wouldn't get the sushi.
Anthony. Plant Man.
Hey, CJ. Guess what?
These are my kids, Cecilia and Devin.
Oh, the twins, yeah.
Uh, CJ's working for
his parents this summer.
Yeah, actually, Dev,
maybe maybe you can
get a job here, too.
- W Why?
- Okay.
[GWEN] Boy, where have you been?
People have been calling and
complaining about late food all day.
Yeah, I think that the Q
train was, like, shut down
or something. The
streets were butts to nuts
from here to Red Hook.
Mm-hmm. Then why was my
Google Map green all over?
That's valid, Gwen.
- Thank you, Anthony.
- Yeah.
Bro, you do not want to
work here. Management sucks.
- [GWEN] I heard that.
- Good.
Bye, Gwen.
Oh, hey, a bunch of us are
gonna be at the park tomorrow.
Y'all should definitely slide through.
- Yeah, sounds good.
- All right, I'll see you there.

Hey Joe Junior stopped
by the station today
to file a harassment
complaint on behalf of his son.
A harassment com [SCOFFS]
Trey's been blocking my driveway.
Apparently, he had an arrangement
- with your mom.
- Oh, that
I'm I'm sorry, by the way.
She's not dead.
I know. I didn't
Look, I, uh Just
Just here as a courtesy.
I'll I'll talk to Joe
Junior, calm things down.
But watch out for him.
He's He's big on conspiracy theories,
thinks they're putting 5G in
the water and aliens are real.
So I just want you to take precaution.
Okay. Thank you. I'm I'm fine.
Okay. Well, look, that's actually
not the only reason I came.
When I heard you were back in
town, I pulled some strings.
We finally processed the request
for your brother's things.
This is all I could get.
Only took you thirty years.
I'm sorry, Stink.
I hate that nickname, Jen.
Old habit.
Look, I I've been thinking
a lot about that night.

[MUSIC FADES OUT]
[ANTHONY] Yeah, I I
did. I got her a stun gun.
Look, I'm not the one who signed
her up for debate camp in the city.
Look, it's the kind of thing
I just think you should discuss
with a co-parent, because
that's what we are.
"Co," Latin for "join,
jointly, together."
Not What?
No That's because I
I put my entire career on hold
so I could take care of my
mother who's got dementia, Tori.
It's not like I'm on vacation.
Why, do you do you have a job?
Or are you still living
off your parents' money?
- No, don't
- [PHONE BEEPS]
Hey.
Don't worry. We can't
get divorced twice.
[CHUCKLES] That's a relief.
Look, sometimes I forget your mom wants
the same thing for you guys that I do.
It's just a different
way of getting there.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Oh, what is that smell?
I made you guys breakfast. Waffles.
- I'm I'm not hungry.
- Yeah, me neither.
Wow.
I mean, Dad, thank you, but no thanks.
