Grown-ish (2018) s03e09 Episode Script

1 College.
Who [bleep.]
needs it? I'm quitting Cal U.
Not me, considering that I'm now styling not one, but two celebrity clients.
Your boy Joey Bada$$ hooked your girl Zoey Bada$$ up with her first music video shoot here in Miami.
And tomorrow, I am finally headed back home to Cali, where I get four days off to reconnect with my girls and possibly see Aaron.
Okay, you know what? Fine.
I did cough "Aaron.
" Confession I haven't been able to stop coughing or thinking about him since our last kiss.
Wardrobe! Anyone from wardrobe? Wardrobe.
That's me.
Is everything okay? No.
It's hot as fish grease out here, and nothing about this fabric is breathable.
Well, I actually have your second-choice options on standby.
Um, you know what? I'm sure we can figure something out if you give me like 15 minutes.
- 12? - 10.
Why'd I do that? I'm not really feeling this outfit anymore.
I just realized that all the other dancers have the same look.
I need to stand out.
You know, unfortunately, I really don't have anything else other than swimsuits.
Yes, you do.
Watch out, world, I'm grown now I'm grown Learn something new every day I don't know, so I'm-a feel my way Got the weight of the world on me But no regrets, this is what I say Watch out, world, I'm grown now I'm grown You can tell me My heart beating so loud Mama, look, I'm grown now I'm grown Playback! Diamonds dancing all up on my neck Baby, quit playin' Can you handle all of the flavors I bring? Too much drip Drip, drip Got too much flavor You want this drip? Drip, drip Wanna taste this flavor? Too much drip Drip, drip Got too much flavor And cut! Oh.
I really need a few days off.
- Yo, Zo.
- Mm? - You daydreaming over here? - No! Look, I know you've been dying to get back home, but I got to ask for you to stay one more day.
Wait, what? But what about my girls and Aaron's lips? So, the director wants to shoot one more shot in Little Havana, but after that, I promise you can get on the first flight back to L.
A.
I even bumped you up to first class.
But the connecting to Orlando.
The short leg.
So, while I had been away on the road for the past month working, back at Cal U, Jazz and Doug's relationship break was still a work in progress.
Ohh! Now I see why someone had to come to Titanium for their delicious jalapeño poppers.
Because it's close to our house, and I'm hungry.
Or maybe because it's close to Doug and you're thirsty.
Okay, it is strictly a coincidence that Doug is here.
Yeah, but you checking his Instagram page for his tagged location is not.
But that's none of my business.
I'll just be right over here, eating my olives.
Since the guys are all here, we should just go say hey, right? Oh, I'm not really And we're doing this.
Hello, everyone.
- Hey.
- Yo.
- Hi.
- What's up? - Hey.
- Hi.
I'm Jazlyn.
- And you are? - Lola.
Oh, Lola.
That is so pretty.
Like Bugs Bunny's girlfriend.
Are you anyone's girlfriend? No.
Wow! Single! What was your last name, again? Okay, um, Jazz, I-I think I smell our jalapeño poppers.
- We should go.
- Nice to meet you.
That was awkward.
You and Jazz good? I mean, we're not not good? We've just been taking some space so she can focus on her Olympic trials.
We're, like, putting a little pin in the relationship.
Oh, so so you guys are broken up? No, we're just, you know, uh waiting on each other, I guess.
So, can you have sex with other people while you're waiting, or? Nah.
But Brah, you might as well suit up and get out on the field, because your ass is being played.
I'm sorry.
How is he being played? His girl doesn't want to have sex with him, but she doesn't want him to have sex with other people.
That's basically telling the man not to breathe.
Okay, see, that's some typical double-standard nonsense.
When male athletes are training for a big game, they abstain from sex, expecting their girls to wait, - and there's never a question.
- That's true.
I don't know.
Maybe I'd wait.
If, uh my penis got cut off in a very tragic farming accident or something like that.
But, hey, more power to you, man.
All I know is, it takes a lot of restraint, okay? I personally could not wait.
I need to be smashing.
You don't be smashing as it is.
Yeah, but when I start, okay, I don't plan on stopping, okay? I will be living inside the vagina.
O kay, I hate to say it, but I get what Vivek's saying.
Obviously, not the living-inside part, but relationships are hard as it is, so for Doug's girl to add another complicated layer, it's unfair.
Fair or unfair, I think Doug is making a respectable decision.
Thank you.
I say, if you want to be a basketball wife, you go out there and be the best damn basketball wife you can be.
- You know what? - Okay? Okay.
I'm ready.
- Yo.
You good? - Hm? You forget your inhaler or something? Oh, don't worry about it.
I beat asthma yesterday.
Anyways, I know I'm supposed to go to Italy in a few days and we had a lot of plans tonight, but honestly, I just kind of want to chill here with you all night.
I'm sorry.
What plans? Thank you.
Okay, so, since we're staying in tonight, we might as well make every second count.
The floor is lava.
You're wildin' right now.
Come on.
Didn't you ever play this game as a kid? I never was a kid.
Dude, it's a game, okay? So, for the next two days, we cannot touch the floor, or our feet will be melted by the lava.
Come on.
Come on.
Um What? How are we gonna get to the bed? Oh.
Screw it.
I don't need feet.
Oh, your toes are melting! You don't have any more toes! They're useless anyway.
Flight 472 has been delayed.
So nice in here! What? It's not that I don't like her.
It's just, like, she's a lot.
Zoey! See what I mean? A lot.
Hey, girl! This delayed flight is some B.
S.
, right? Yeah, tell me about it.
Hm.
Any plans for your days off? Nothing major.
Just really hanging with my girls and possibly getting up with this guy.
- You have a boo? - Mm-hmm.
Is it Ne-Yo? No.
My boo is just a regular, everyday dude named Aaron.
We've had this backand-forth relationship since, like, freshman year, and if I really think about it, I wouldn't even be where I was, like, right now in my career, if it wasn't for how supportive he is.
And before I left, we kissed.
And you know what? I'm just kind of in a secure enough place now where I want to talk to him about it.
If you really like dude, don't waste your time talking about no little kiss.
Take control of the situation and tell him how you feel! Be on your boss shit.
Wow.
I mean, she's not wrong.
I left Cal U to be a grown woman, so why not follow it up with grown-woman actions? Look at this.
Gonna text Aaron.
Okay, there.
Wow.
There.
I sent it and just put it all out there.
- Look at you.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
And he's already responded.
He says he wants to hook up as soon as I'm back.
See? I told you! On your boss shit! Ladies! I'm back! Well, that was uneventful.
It's not that I expect an HBCU party every time, but, like, a "Welcome Back, Zoey" sheet cake would've been nice.
Let me locate these hoes.
All right, so Anna, Jazz, and Sky are at the Student Union.
And look at that.
Aaron is at Titanium.
But priorities first.
I'm gonna pop up on my girls and then surprise Aaron.
I mean, I've made the man wait this long.
What's, like, a few more hours? Oh, my gosh.
Y'all gotta see this! Don't these clouds look exactly like Jesus? Y'all cannot tell me that does not look like Our Boy.
You are way too addicted to that Biblical Cloud Chasers IG page.
Um, well, it appears Sky is not the only one addicted to IG pages.
I see you've left some comments on Doug's pictures tonight.
Big deal.
We're still cool.
But you orbiting Doug and coincidentally showing up at the places he's at it's only making things harder.
If your goal with this break was to stay focused on running track, then don't sabotage your own plan.
Preach, bitch.
Uh audio Bible.
Okay.
I got a game for you.
Okay.
Pick a hand.
Um this one.
Wrong hand.
Um pick another hand.
Wrong hand.
You're really bad at this game.
Mm.
Nice.
How'd you do that? Magic Johnson.
- He taught me.
- Oh.
He's an old family friend.
Random.
So what is this? It's the key to my loft.
I was thinking, when I was gone, you could post up here.
Wow.
Lucs.
Yeah, I never really gave anybody access to my life like this, you know? Look, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I can't accept this.
Okay.
Um cool.
Think the lava on the floor's starting to cool.
Gonna take a shower.
About time, okay? I take it you were stalling to avoid me getting all up inside that ass! - No.
- I heard it.
I'm sticking with it.
All right, relax.
I was just responding to Lola about going to the movies.
So, like, a date? No, we're just hanging out.
Yeah, but are you planning on having cheddar sprinkles with your popcorn? - I don't know.
Probably.
- Whoa.
That's definitely a date.
You think Jazz will be okay with you sitting in a dark theater with some chick eating delectable, well-seasoned popcorn out of your lap? I-I don't know.
I I don't see why not? Really? I mean, because a date or non-date to the movies is basically a precursor to sex, which you can't have.
All right, a-are you trying to say I shouldn't go? Dude, I don't know.
I'm not the one not having sex with you.
Ask Jazz.
So, after some careful consideration, I decided not to go to the Student Union to see my girls first, because the reality is, the union's for students, which I no longer am.
And do I really want to disrespect higher education like that? Mnh-mnh-mnh.
All right, you guys heading out? What's up? What's up? There he is, looking all sorts of kissable.
- Hey, Zoey.
- Hey.
You're You're home.
Welcome back.
Good to see ya.
Yeah, you have no idea how much I-I couldn't wait to see you.
Yeah, that's why I, uh I wanted to talk to you.
- Obviously, there's - Hey.
I got the drinks.
- Hey.
- Oh, great.
Uh, could I have a vodka and soda, please? No, no, no.
That's, uh This is Rochelle.
- Hi.
- My, um My girlfriend.
Yeah.
So Make it a double.
Hey, I'm just gonna go grab a seat.
- It was nice meeting you.
- Mm.
Um So uh, girlfriend.
Yeah, um we got together during winter break.
That's kind of why I wanted to hook up and talk.
Wow.
So So, I guess we have very different definitions of what "hook up" means.
Zoey, I'm sorry.
I I wasn't Uh, please don't be sorry.
Don't.
Nope.
Um I'm happy for you.
Humiliated for me, but, uh but congrats.
Congrats.
Con Congrats.
Exactly what we saw on the runways of Paris all summer long.
And, you know, you can really see the influence that these designs have ever since they took that big break.
Okay.
I feel like I should explain to you why I didn't want the key.
I mean, if we're gonna be together, I feel like it's best if I open up about my past.
Like what? Were you a serial killer? Look, the reason I didn't want your key is because I was scared.
Last year, I was engaged.
- Engaged? - Yeah.
Like, to be married? Was it arranged? It was with my high-school boyfriend, and we were just moving way too fast.
I mean, I barely even knew who I was, so I broke things off.
He was really hurt.
And I felt really bad.
It sucked.
Wow.
That's, um That's a lot.
Yeah.
So, when you offered me the key, I don't know.
I was just nervous that I was moving too fast again.
Okay, this is what I'm gonna do.
I'm rescinding your offer on the key, and I'll just let Carl sit on it instead.
Wait, Carl? Is Is that your neighbor? No, she's my baby cactus outside my door.
And if you ever feel like crashing here, the key will be under Carl, and if not, zero pressure.
Zoey, Zoey, wait up, please.
Please.
Look, I just want to say again I'm so sorry you found out about Rochelle the way you did.
No, you don't owe me any sort of explanation.
Uh she seems really nice.
You know, when I got that text from you saying how you felt about me, it was everything that I've wanted to hear for the past three years.
But? This is gonna sound awful, but I I put myself out there so many times for you, so many times, and I just I'm scared you'll play me again, you know? I wouldn't.
Yeah, you wouldn't mean to.
But whether it be you leaving for your job or meeting somebody else or just realizing that this game we play is what you actually like and not me, I-I can't do it.
I can't.
I cannot trust you with my heart anymore.
Wow.
Um that's one hell of a "no.
" I just hope you know how hard it was for me to say it.
So, you wanted to see me? Yeah, we we should sit down.
Uh, or I-I'm-a stand, 'cause I'm not even sure if we're allowed to sit on the same couch right now.
Doug, seriously? Yeah, Jazz.
For real.
Look, I-I-I'm confused about the terms of this whole breakup 'cause you're sending me mad mixed signals.
Like, y-y-you're popping up everywhere I'm at.
We're waiting for each other.
Okay, but what does that mean? Like, what's my day-to-day life? Can I text another girl? Can we chill? Go to the movies? I can't even believe I'm about to say this right now.
But this situation I've set up isn't fair.
To you.
Maybe it's just better for both of us if we take a clean break.
Yeah.
I-I guess that's probably for the best.
Mm-hmm.
Uh but can you just agree to this one term? For the next five months, promise me you won't fall in love with anyone else.
Yeah.
I-I guess that's a term I can manage.
So, after Jazz and I had both experienced some unexpected heartbreak, our girls were there to lift our spirits and remind us that while those chapters may be closed, our stories were just beginning.
Ladies Zoey, Jazz, Sky phones out.
Okay.
Okay.
So, we've all agreed no more wasting our time in the past.
From now on, we are moving forward.
So, on the count of three, Zoey, mute Aaron's account, Jazz, mute Doug, and, Sky, for all of our sake, please mute Biblical Cloud Chasers.
Amen.
One two Done.
Done! I'm sorry, guys.
I just can't do it.
- Sky.
- Dude.
No.
Honestly, Sky, I really respect that.
Hi, baby Luna.
Hi! We can't wait to meet you.
I can.
I'm sorry, guys.
I have barely gotten accustomed to adults, all right? You got to give me some time with babies.
Sky.
Oh! Who choreographed this? You? No.
But, you know, if I wanted to, I really could.
Girl, you don't have one ounce of rhythm in your body, okay? And you do? I could murder you on the dance floor.
So, you know what this sounds like to me? Get wild, we gon' wild out You can never be this bow out Get wild, we gon' wild out You can never be this bow out Get wild, get wild Oh, I'm about to get all up inside these asses!
