- [WHISTLES]
- The job's easy enough.
Might not be as lucrative
as selling drugs,
but at least you won't
get arrested, huh?
Right.
Unless those murder charges come back.
Which they won't.
Because Jake did it.
I remember when you thought I did it.
Whatever, TJ.
Table ten could use some water.
Why don't you go take
care of that me, huh?
So that's why we're here? Stalking Nate?
No. You wanna know why we're here?
Because as soon as his shift is over,
we're gonna go out to your boat
and clean out the freezer.
Are you insane?
The Riordans put out a cash reward,
Addy's outburst drew a
lot of unwanted attention,
and Wheeler has the watch, okay?
It's only a matter of time
before the police know Jake
[WHISPERING] Isn't in Mexico.
Bronwyn, I know that you like to think
that you're smarter than everyone,
but maybe take a look around.
There's people everywhere.
There's bars, there's
clubs, there's restaurants.
People are down on the promenade,
people are on the other boats.
Okay, at night?
Especially at night.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Plus this asshole.
[WHISPERING] We have to say something.
- No. Be cool.
- Yes, we do.
You're Jake's brother, right?
We can save time and cut the bullshit.
I know you're friends with Addy.
So I assume you knew
she was gonna pull that little
stunt at Vanessa's rally.
We don't know anything
about anything, really.
Mm. Let me fill you in.
My family's been through enough.
You're either with us
or you're against us,
and you made your choice.
So I just hope you're ready
to live with the consequences.

Coach Kilton, please
report to the AV lab.
[LAUGHS] Your reactions from the Tom
Prestin interview are so positive.
There's GIFs. Look, you're a GIF.
Yeah, but there's also comments
about me wearing the watch.
Only a few.
The watch story is getting
buried by Addy's freakout.
Really?
Yeah. She's a GIF, too.
Though not the kind I
wanna tell her about.
Damn.
Um, Coop?
- Coop. [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah?
Why didn't you tell me
that it was Jake's watch?
Oh, um
I guess I thought that you
might think it was weird.
- Well, it's kind
- Like
I know I'm not supposed to miss Jake,
because of what he did, but
Jake was my friend, okay?
It's it's almost like there are
two versions of him in my mind.
I don't think that's weird.
I know exactly what you mean.
Not to objectify you, but
you look really hot today.
- [LAUGHS] Don't be weird.
- Weird?
Would it be weird if
I kissed you right now?
So that's a yes?
It's just like, if
people see you with me,
- then they're gonna think
- What?
That I'm massively into you?
Good.
Oh, wow.
Okay, what do you think
Simon would hate more?
That you're, like, besties
with the people he despised?
Or you're hooking up with
the girl that he liked?
- [SLAMS LOCKER]
- Wow.
Just a little food for thought.

So you guys got different messages?
"Simon Says skip your
math midterm today."
"Kiss your tutor at lunch tomorrow."
And the rest of us got nothing.
- Right.
- Guys, it doesn't make sense.
Simon Says knows what we did.
Why would they want us to kiss someone?
They want you to kiss someone.
Look, I know it may seem random, right?
But think about the watch.
One second I'm wearing
it to school, no big deal.
Next thing I know, the cops have it.
- Nothing's random.
- No.
They're getting personal.
Trying to hit us where it hurts most.
By making you skip a math test?
Midterm.
And make Nate kiss Fiona?
I mean, is that really
gonna torture you?
Maybe this one's aimed at Bronwyn, too.
Why would I care?
I think this kind of petty
torture screams Vanessa.
Guys, what about Cole?
But why would he care
if I skip a midterm,
or who Nate kisses?
If both of these are aimed
at Bronwyn, what if it's Evan?
[CHUCKLES] No, no.
He's the least dangerous
person I've ever met.
Well, he is nerdy enough to consider
skipping a math test torture.
Whoever it is, they'll
be watching, right?
Evan is in my calculus class,
so I guess he would see if I skip.
Okay.
So we see if Evan's in
the cafeteria tomorrow
watching for Nate to
kiss Fiona.
So we're actually doing these?
♪
Looks like it.
♪
You coming?
Um
no, I'm not.
Are you sure you're okay with this?
We don't have a choice,
and my Yale application's
already in, so
No, no, I meant with mine.
Oh, um Well, it's not optional, so
And we're not together, right?

Do you really think
Evan could be Simon Says?
I mean, he has motive

Yeah, but what about hurting us?
Well, we didn't get asks.
Maybe they're still coming.
Okay. Don't love that take.
But I guess our lives
can't really get much worse.
Um, your life has been
pretty great lately.
In some ways.
In the "non-blackmail, non-murder" ways?
[CHUCKLES] Yes.
And, you know,
in the Maeve ways.
Yeah.
I don't really see what
she sees in me, but
Are you kidding?
Janae, do you need a list?
'Cause I can give you a list.
- Please don't.
- Okay, well, now I have to.
First, you are the most
take-no-bullshit person
I have ever met, which
is incredibly sexy.
Second, you have this
weird dry sense of humor.
And maybe I'm not supposed
to say this, because feminism,
but you are so pretty

- Okay, you
stop.
Sorry.
Should I have not have said that?
No.

who's going to change everything

- What is she doing?
- Army, meet Giselle.
- Thanks, Vanessa.
- Oh, no, thank you, girl,
for coming forward.
Why don't you tell
everyone about yourself?
Well, I'm a senior, like you, from Slo,
and I guess I'm here
because I'm pissed off.
Mmm, girl, say more.
I saw your Justice for Jake rally
and what Addy said about Jake
Mmm, yeah, that mess.
That pissed a lot of people off.
I'm so sick of hearing
people talk about Jake
like he was this evil mastermind.
That's not the person I knew.
And how did you know Jake?
We met over the summer in Greece,
and we fell in love.
- [DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING]
- Addy?
But Jake was still with Addy?
Yes, he wanted to end things with Addy
but he was scared of
her and her new friends,
scared of what they were capable of.
And then he disappeared.
The police say he's in Mexico.
Do you believe that?
No, he wouldn't just vanish on
me like this without telling me.
I'm afraid the worst has happened
and that's why I'm here.
To help you find the truth.
And we will find the truth, together.

Pretty soon, they're
gonna wonder who killed me.

Who would they look at
first? [CLICKS TONGUE]
And we will find the truth.
Addy, you need to stop watching it.

Besides, what do we really
know about this chick, anyway?
She could be making it all
up, looking for her 15 minutes.
Eh, she's not making it up.
Just look at her.
She could give me
everything you couldn't.
No wonder he cheated.
Look at her.
That sounds like Jake talking.
Not you.
You are every bit as
hot when you wanna be.
I know this playbook all too well, baby.
Shitty men make
themselves feel less shitty
by shitting on amazing women.
Their voices get in your head.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
How do I not hear that voice?
Look, sometimes you can't
block it out completely,
but you can make your voice louder.
And I know you can be, like
loud as hell. [CHUCKLES]

Evan the whole time

is the greatest threat
facing humanity today.
It is. Debate over. Now
let's talk about mine.

Yes or no?

the truth about Halloween.

messed with anyone.

actually gonna, I don't know,
give her, like, a peck.
I don't think Nate Macauley
knows what a peck is.

coming though because
I know I was never
gonna be enough for him.

Bronwyn Rojas thinks that
Nate Macauley is too good?

what really happened.
You think I'm lying?

the scar on his inner thigh,
how he sounds when he comes?
I don't owe you anything.
Giselle, I just

I know this isn't the

I thought I'd cheated on Jake
