That is So Not Mom

Are you sure this looks ok on me? You're wearing it wrong.
No but does it look ok on me or do I look like an Ashley wannabe? No, you look great Spencer.
Kinda like when you wearing my clothes.
Maybe you'll think about me all day.
I already do think about you all day.
I tanked my history final the other day because you're all I ever think about.
Oh, wow Chelsea, I love that shirt.
Thanks, I designed it.
But I think it's a little too warm for it today.
Are you okay? I'm fine, thanks.
I'll see you guys later.
Gosh, my mom.
She's called me like 800 times today telling me that I need to get home right after school.
Why? I don't know.
Has to be drama.
Maybe her alien spaceship came back and she just wants to say goodbye.
I wish.
Hey, you're really starting to freak me out with those things.
Yeah? Doctors' studies have actually proven that if you mind your own damn business - it can actually decrease your heart rate.
- Fine.
- Whatever.
- Big C.
Where you headed? - Got called down to the office.
- Got called down to the office? What? Why? What for? They said mom was here and she wanted to see me.
Well you've never been called into the office, right? Nope.
Tip: deny everything until you find out if they have witnesses.
Hello Clay.
That is so not mom.
What are you doing here? I'm sorry I didn't call first.
But I just wasn't sure you'd wanna see me again.
She said after not letting me have a choice.
Clay, listen to me.
Listen to me.
I didn't like the way we left thing last.
When you said you were glad you gave me away.
I never said that.
I said I felt it was better for you.
Look, I've done a lot of thinking since we talked.
And I know I made some mistakes in my life.
- But maybe I can fix this one.
- There's nothing broken.
I've moved to LA.
I'm looking for a job but I got a place.
I just want us to get to know each other.
You coming to see me was a wake-up call.
For a lot of things.
I just wanna try to be a part of your life.
If you'll let me.
These are all my numbers and the address to my place.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to even say to all this.
Just say you'll call me, you know.
Soon.
Your birth mom? When were you gonna tell us? I was still trying to figure that out before she surprised me.
Please do me a favor and keep it to yourself.
Mom and dad have no idea I even found her yet.
Since when do you keep secret from the 'rents? I just wanna be the first to let them know.
Ok, cool.
Ashley.
- Can you give me a lift home? - Sorry.
Going to Spencer's.
- Ashley, we could just drop her off.
- No, we couldn’t.
- Thanks a lot.
- Get a car.
Can't drive.
- Need a ride? - Sure.
Unless You know, you have some other girls that need rides.
Fine.
We're even.
What now? I have a few ideas.
- Mom, we're home.
- Finally.
- Hi Mrs.
C.
- Ashley.
Everything ok, mom? Your calls kinda freaked me out.
Your look's kinda freaking out.
Oh my God! What are you doing here? It was Spring Break so your mom totally flew me in for the weekend.
- No way! Mom, thank you.
- Surprise.
- You happy? - Yeah, God.
Hey this is my friend Ashley.
Ashley, this is Deb, she's like my best friend from back home.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What are you wearing? Is this what L.
A.
has done to you? What's all this yelling? Oh no! Debilicious? What? Did the cops chase you out of Ohio? No, very funny.
I'm here for the weekend.
Well hey if you need a better tour guide you know I'm more fun than Spencer.
Whatever.
Honey, I'll be upstairs in a minute and we'll do the rehab, ok? Actually mom, I'm pretty wiped.
If I could just crash.
No you can't crash.
If you don't do it, it's not gonna get any I know, I know.
Ok fine, you're right.
And we'll just bring you home in a wheelchair from the hospital.
Oh my God.
Ashley, we gotta give Debbie a tour of the town.
That'll be so fun.
I'm so excited.
This is gonna be so fun.
Why am I so nervous? Any idiot can drive a car.
And some under the influence and putting on makeup while talking on the phone.
And most of those are all your old girlfriends, right? Hey focus.
Focus, alright? Come on.
Hands at 10.
02.
Yeah.
Check your mirrors.
Ok, now gently press the gas and pull forward.
Ok, alright.
I said Gently.
And I also said forward.
- Ok.
Ok.
Alright.
Gently.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Before we try this again.
Is there anything you want me to Ashley? - In case you don't survive? - Yeah.
Tell her it's her fault that I'm dead.
She should have driven me home.
Fine.
Wait.
Where are you going? I'm gonna stand out here.
I mean, you want me to be around to give Ashley your message.
Get in the car and shut up.
So bossy.
It's hot.
Yeah, well you ought to see me when I know what I'm doing.
Ok, here we go.
I'm holding this time, so I mean, how could she just show up like this out of nowhere? You did reach out to her first, baby.
But not without a phone call first.
I didn't just show up with luggage and a tent! You know, hello here I am.
OK, well I thought you wanted to get closer to her.
I did.
I do.
I don't I don't know.
- Then why are you getting so upset? - Because she didn't give me a choice.
Just like when she gave me away.
When do I get a say? Hello? Chelsea.
You're not even paying attention - to what I'm saying.
- I am.
I'm sorry.
Ok? I've just been a little Crazy lately, ok? Look, it sounds like baby, that she made a big sacrifice just like picking up and coming out here.
I guess.
Well I mean, she was just only 15.
She had very few choices herself.
I mean the world is It isn't that easy alright? It's not and, I feel maybe you are better off.
Whose side are you on, anyway? Glen I found this pain pills in your gym bag when I was doing laundry.
Now this prescription is brand new but this bottle is almost empty.
Man, Spencer is just outta control, hu? This isn't a joke.
- I've been in a lot of pain lately.
- How? You haven't done any rehab with me in days.
What's the matter? Glen? These are almost gone.
Honey, if you've got a problem, you need to tell me right now.
The only problem I have is with you going through my stuff.
Watch your tone.
I don't know if you're giving these away to your friends or what you're doing, but wathever it is, it's over.
From now on, I will have your pain pills.
You can come to me when you need them.
- But you are on a strict schedule, period.
- What? That is crap! - Excuse me? - Glen.
Watch it.
- What the heck is going on? - We're discussing Glen's medications.
- It was about time.
- What? What does that mean? Nothing.
Nice man.
Real nice.
While you're at it, why don't you go just ahead and tell them about that other mother you have stashed away here in town.
Clay why didn't you just tell us the truth from the start? I just thought I'd meet with her first and see how that went.
- How did it go? - Apparently better for her than for me.
She's moved out here to get to know me.
- You're not mad? - Mad? - Why would we be? - No, honey.
She's your mother.
It's only natural that you'd want to meet her.
You're my mom.
I don't want you to think for one second that I'm trying to replace you cause No I raised you and there is no replacing that.
I swear.
So do we get to meet her? I don't know.
- I'm still trying to deal with all this.
- Whatever you'll decide, We support you.
A hundred percent.
We love you.
We love you, so much.
- Hey Spencer, I got you something.
- What? - Our yearbook.
- Oh my God.
I left before this came out.
This is so awesome.
There are some great pictures of us cheerleading.
Oh my God, awesome! Oh my God, look there's Pete.
He's so crush on you.
What? Gosh I wish I would have known that.
Hey girls.
- Did you have a good time today? - Totally.
Thank you so much for bringing me out here again.
Oh Debbie, it was a pleasure.
Alright well, if there's anything else you guys need, just ask.
Ok.
It's gonna get a little crowded in here tonight, isn't it? Yeah, I'm gonna go.
- Ok.
- What? She's gonna go and I will see you both in the morning, ok? Ashley, stay.
- No it's cool, this is school night.
- Ok, now I know something's really wrong.
I'm fine.
Besides I'd better go home before it's too late.
Just in case Kyla wants to pick a fight with me and make my day completely perfect.
- Nice meeting you Debbie.
- Yeah.
Oh my God.
Look at that.
That's Cindy Mayers.
She's still totally an orca.
You're so mean, Oh my God.
Hey, wait.
I’m gonna see you tomorrow right? - Yeah, just call me.
- ok.
What was that about? Hey I'm so glad that you came to visit me.
I missed you.
Me too.
Home really sucks without you.
Check it out.
Where did you get that? I might have borrowed it from Ashley's house earlier.
Why would you do that? Oh come on.
You saw the palace she lives in.
Like anyone's gonna notice.
Want some? I have school tomorrow, remember? Your loss.
Try not to wake me up when you leave in the morning.
Yeah.
I don't think we're gonna have a problem with that.
So how was your little slumber party? Did you guys stay up roasting marshmallows doing cheers in your underwear? Actually Debbie downed a half a bottle of vodka and passed out on the floor.
Go team.
Look, thanks for being so chill with her.
She was kinda weird yesterday.
- Were you like that back in Ohio? - No God, neither was she.
Believe it or not, she was really cool.
I don't know.
Maybe she's just freaked out by being in L.
A.
for the first time.
- Maybe it's jet lag.
- Or jet bitch.
She's been weird.
But hey, if you could give her another chance I mean If my two best friends could get along, that would be great.
Ok.
I'll give you another chance.
But you're gonna owe me.
Big.
I appreciate you letting me work on this here.
- No problem.
- My grandmother's gonna love this.
So this is your grandma's original hope chest.
Actually my great grand mother's.
So I heard you and Clay had some beef earlier.
Yeah, I mean I get that he's going through some heavy stuff right now.
Real mom, falling in love, all those big journal entries.
Yeah but he didn't have to blow up at me like that.
I feel you.
But cut him some slack.
He was blindsided when his mom just moved out here.
I mean she moves out here.
Makes some big life changing decision without giving my man a heads up.
Anyway.
- Hey.
- Hey hottie.
- And you are? - Whoever you want.
- Wanna dance? - No I don't dance.
Whatever.
He's probably just like the rest of this bar: Gay! What is it, homos get in free night? - Debbie! - Hey, WalMart.
Why don't you grow up? Not everyone's as small minded as you are.
Excuse me? What are you? Queer too? Don't.
Good! We got rid of the freak.
Who the hell are you? Your oldest, bestest friend.
Duh! You just need some help picking out your new friends.
Yeah, because obviously I did a really bad job at picking out the old ones.
What is everyone's problem? Some people just don't know how to treat a smart, beautiful lady.
Ashley! - Please stay.
She's drunk.
- Stop.
Stop making excuses for her Spencer.
It's okay if I don't like her.
But what's not okay is I don't like you when you're with her.
Me either.
Lets' get out of here.
- Ready to go? - Where are you guys going? Can I come? No I don't think so.
Kyla planned some secret Friday night activity.
I'm just gonna mix things up a little bit, you know, girl's choice for a change.
- Good luck man.
- Thanks.
I promise I'll be gentle.
I make no such promise.
Come on.
Shoulders back.
Don't look at your feet.
Let me lead, ok? Count in your head.
Hey Spencer.
And goodnight.
- My brother? - Oh come on, get over it! - What are you doing? - It's time for you to go.
What? I said it is time for you to go.
- I signed your yearbook.
- Thanks.
I can't believe you're kicking me out.
I can't believe I didn't do it any sooner.
I mean, I just sat there while you treated Ashley like crap.
- Have you always been this way? - What way? - Spencer, you've changed.
- Yeah, thank God.
It's my cab.
I guess I'll see you.
Sometime.
Wait.
Was that Debbie leaving? - Spencer, what happened? - Nothing.
What do you mean, nothing? You two were best friends back at home and she comes out here and now all of a sudden it's over? We just don't have that much more in common anymore.
Did Ashley hurt her feelings? - Because if she did, I'm gonna - No mom.
Debbie hurt Ashley's feelings.
Look, she was a total drunken nightmare this entire trip, Ok? And Ashley was being really cool to her.
And I just let her down over and over again.
- Honey, I had no idea.
- Mom, look.
It doesn't matter who you fly out here, ok? Ashley's my best friend, and she's going to be… whatever you think about her.
- So hum - I - I, I just.
.
- I What are your plans now? I guess a lot of that depends on you.
How about that depends on the both of us? I know I can't just come in and expect to be your mother.
Let's just try to get to know each other.
You know.
And we see what happens.
Ok.
You know If it turns out we don't get along We'll be just like every other family.
Did Kyla let you in or did Little Miss Ohio swipe a set of keys the last time she was here? Debbie's gone.
I send her home this morning.
I know I've been totally lame these last couple of days.
Thank you.
I really needed to hear that.
- But she's your friend, I get it.
- No, you're my friend.
And I really haven't been a good friend to you.
I don't know, I was just - freaked out that she'd go home and… - That she'd say you're gay? Yeah.
She might have.
But at least she'd say you have a totally hot girlfriend.
Who's so full of herself! I'm glad you came by.
I've been real worried about you.
Yeah I'm sorry I was so upset the other day.
No, you know what, you had every right and I just I know I haven't been very comforting.
I'm just What's up? I'm just going through a lot right now, you know? I'm just facing some changes and You're going to Paris, baby? No it's not that.
It's just when you started unraveling about your mom and about like being put up for adoption and everything It just kinda freaked me out.
You know? Why? - Let's just forget it.
- Oh no no, we're not gonna forget it.
Tell me.
What is it? It's ok.
I'm pregnant.
