Grown-ish (2018) s03e12 Episode Script

1 ZOEY: We are living in a time of infinite options.
A time when we want to try everything, - but commit to nothing.
- [Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" plays.]
We have trouble committing to relationships [Ding!.]
We at war [Ding!.]
We at war with terrorism to lifestyles.
Racism, and most of all We even have trouble committing to one profession.
Jesus walk God, show me the way Because the Devil's tryna break me down Jesus walk with me, with me, with me Yeah God, show me the way, because the Devil's PASTOR HENRY: We are here today to accept Ana Torres as part of our congregation.
She is here to accept Jesus Christ as her lord and savior.
Are you ready to accept Jesus into your heart? Yes.
But for Ana Torres when it came to commitment, - she was ready to go all the way in.
- [Laughs.]
that my feet don't fail me now 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 Over the next few weeks, Ana got deeper into her new faith with Javi by her side.
And as close as they were feeling to God, their connection to each other was stronger than ever.
All right.
Shots.
To our first double date.
You and Rodney, Heidi and me.
All right? I want to get nice and buzzed, but not too sloppy.
Just that perfect warm-faced smiley for the party tonight.
Um hello? Hmm? - Where's ours? - Oh, you guys want in? I thought you guys weren't allowed to drink.
Of course we could drink.
We're Christians, not dead.
Exactly.
Jesus turned water into wine, heathen.
It was His first miracle.
And He used to roll with gangsters and prostitutes.
Dude was out there living His best life, uh until well, you know.
But then He came back, and we got salvation and Cadbury Eggs.
- VIVEK: Okay, fine.
- Yeah.
Jazz, are you sure you don't want to go out with us tonight? I literally cannot even imagine me and Rodney stomaching a night with Vivek and Heidi alone.
- Hey.
- Nah.
I seriously don't feel like being the third wheel.
Well, technically, you'd be the fifth wheel.
Uh, two couples and you.
Alone.
Vivek, you never shut up, do you? Seriously, you will not even be the third or fifth wheel.
I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of guys out there checking for you.
- Yeah, but Doug.
- No "but Doug.
" I'm sorry.
You two are on a break.
That's why you should come out and enjoy yourself.
I'm sure Doug's out there enjoying himself.
I'm good.
Really.
I'm just gonna do my own thing tonight, okay? Have fun.
All right, fine.
But what about you guys? I'm really in need of a buffer tonight.
No, we're we're gonna hang back.
[Sighs.]
All right.
Enjoy.
- That did not sound fun.
- At all.
I just be dripping, ya, ya Hey, Nomi, remember Indigo? Joey's protégé? NOMI: The one who convinced you to go after Aaron by being a "Boss Bitch? - Yeah.
I remember.
- Yeah.
Well, now she's my boss, and theoretically, I am her bitch.
I had to pull, like, 23 looks from four different fashion houses for the two shows she has this weekend.
But at least you've officially doubled your client list.
Yeah.
No, I did, and actually, I-I think I hear her coming.
- I love you.
Bye.
- Yes, bitch.
I got you tickets to my show, and they're front row.
[Chuckles.]
Hi! No, look.
Mm! I like this one.
Yeah, no, I really like that, too.
Ooh, but this one.
This is fire.
Yeah! Ablaze! But this one.
Kinda feeling this one.
I mean, really, though, how could you not? It's just so like [Exhales sharply.]
feely.
[Sighs.]
Okay, let's talk.
Uh-oh.
This feely bad.
Okay, so, I know we kind of got off to a rocky start which is probably why you're saying yes to everything.
But as my stylist, I don't need you to do that.
Yeah.
I mean, no, of course.
- No, but see, not "of course.
" - No.
Do you not understand how important these next two shows are? This is my first time ever headlining in LA.
This is a chance for me to grow out my fanbase on the West Coast.
Yes, and trust me, I actually totally understand.
Good.
Then moving forward, - I need you to be brutally honest with me - Mm-hmm.
and not just some bobblehead "yes chick.
" Aight.
Did you just bow to me? No.
Yo, hey Yeah.
- Ooh-wee! - Enjoy.
- Yeah.
- That right there how we do.
That is your, uh, seventh birthday here this semester.
I'm surprised that lady - doesn't think you're 40 years old.
- No, no, no.
Today, it is your birthday.
Oh, oh, no, no.
I am more of a Bavarian Cream Cake kind of guy.
- That's a little - Bro, suit yourself.
I just wanted to commemorate this moment 'cause we ain't been able to get up in a minute.
- I know.
- But here we are you, me, and this free piece of red velvet.
This is a beautiful situation.
Yep.
- Just to chill.
- Yeah.
[Clears throat.]
[Ding!.]
Wow! What? I get you a sparkly piece of red velvet cake, you surprise-third-wheel me? - What? - Mm-hmm.
What are you talking about? It's not like that, dude.
We're just We're She's here 'cause we're all rolling together.
We're We're a tricycle tonight.
I'm no man's tricycle, okay? - [Clicks tongue.]
- Come Come on.
- Don't be like that, man.
- It's fine.
You two enjoy your little date, and I'm-a go find me a nice little thick wheel myself.
All right.
- [Missile whistling.]
- MAN: Watch your right flank! - [Explosion.]
- Moving in, moving in! We got a breach! [Yawns.]
Incoming! Oh, wow.
Those shots really knocked me out.
- Wow.
- What time is it? I should go.
Javi, you obviously shouldn't be driving.
Just crash here.
You can make me breakfast in the morning.
- [Laptop shuts off.]
- Are you sure? Yes.
I'm positive.
I like pancakes.
Okay.
[Both sigh.]
- Okay.
- All right.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I'm like whatever [Sighs.]
We could be Okay.
We could be something But I don't know just where we're going Take me in circles But I like it I like it, yeah Take me, take me, take me to someplace God.
That I never been Oh, no That I never been No, no But I'm feeling it The way you do this The way you do that Boy, you giving me something, something more You awake? Nah.
I can't believe we did that.
I know.
I'm navigating some serious feelings of guilt right now.
Javi, I am so, so, so sorry.
Come on.
Don't apologize.
Honestly, if anyone should be apologizing, it should be me.
But, um, guilt aside, uh I kind of got the feeling that maybe you didn't enjoy that so much.
What? No.
No, no, it was It was really great.
Ana, it's okay.
I'm aware of when it's not great.
Javi, okay, look, sex between two people for the first time is never great, right? Yeah.
There were so many factors against us, like the guilt, which is obviously the biggest one.
And then there's the pressure, the tequila.
What is this? It's memory foam? There's no bounce to this.
Yeah, no, it's it's all of that stuff.
Javi, it's obviously not our chemistry.
Kissing you is perfect.
I feel the same way.
Okay, so just out of curiosity, since we've already, like - done it - Mm-hmm.
would it would it be crazy if we just, like did it one more time? No, just to prove that that horrible one no offense was just a fluke? It feels like we should.
God's probably already mad about the first one.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
And maybe it is like double jeopardy and you can't get tried for the same crime twice.
Mnh-mnh.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Oh-hoo.
Hey.
So, did I not put out the pants that go with that? Because that's actually, fun fact, a shirt, not a dress.
Hmm.
No.
I know.
Well, maybe you want some other pants to go with it? [Scoffs.]
No, I'm good.
What? I just You know, I really feel like you should put on the pants that I pulled for you.
I don't want to.
Well, when you see how high the shirt is, you may want to.
I disagree.
Okay.
Look, um, in all honesty, this look it feels a little desperate.
And I think that that would be bad for your brand.
All right.
- Mm.
- Cool.
- Hmm! Hmm.
- That makes sense.
I'll go put those pants on.
Okay.
[Laughs.]
But one thing if you ever talk to me like that again, I'll fire your bitch-ass.
I'm-a go cop me a Rari Then I'm-a drive it to Saks Spend about 8 or 9 racks - Hey, excuse me.
- Hey, girl.
Let me help you out and buy you a drink.
[Chuckles.]
Sorry, um, I actually don't drink.
Do you have any cocaine? But you out here being a great human, - bathing elephants in sanctuaries and shit.
- [Chuckles.]
You have to go.
It'll change your life.
- Wow.
- [Chuckles.]
That's sick.
You want to max out this dude's credit card? Uh, I'm good.
Yo, I'm Doug.
We [bleep.]
freshman year.
You right.
[Sighs.]
Bro, you've been gone a minute, man.
Where's your wheel? The wheels are off.
I'm officially the new Vivek.
ZOEY: So, while Doug was adjusting to being the new Vivek and Sky and the old Vivek were at the party of the year, Jazz was adjusting to single life with a piece of pie.
Key lime.
What? The key lime pie.
It's the only way to go.
I promise.
Mm, I was thinking the chocolate mousse.
Oh.
How about I get a piece of key lime, you get a piece of chocolate mousse, and we split it? Nah, I'm okay.
Thank you, though.
All right.
Have a good night.
You know what? On second thought, sure.
Why not? So, while Jazz was slowly getting her rhythm back, Ana and Javi were trying to find theirs in the bedroom - again - Mm.
Okay, hold up.
- What? What? - I gotta stop.
Ah.
[Exhales sharply.]
Head rush.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Okay.
Where were we? - Okay.
Okay.
- and again Oh! Ow! Oh! Ow, ow, ow! - Cramp! Foot cramp! - Okay.
Foot cramp! Ow.
Yeah, no, right there.
and, believe it or not, again - [Bone cracks.]
- Oh! - Aah.
- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry I head-butted you.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Are you bleeding? - I don't know.
to less-than-stellar results.
Maybe it is the memory foam.
Or maybe it's the fact that we weren't supposed to be doing this at all.
Kind of feels like our guilt's outweighing our chemistry right now, you know? [Sighs.]
Yeah.
I do.
[Sighs.]
[Sighs.]
Sky, I'm obviously trying to get your attention.
Yeah, and I'm obviously trying to ignore you.
I just I need to talk to a fellow believer in the house.
Lemme grab Jazz.
Sky, please.
- I did something last night - [Sighs.]
something that I'm having so many feelings about.
I slept with Javi.
Yeah.
And, um now I'm feeling really guilty about the whole thing.
Oof.
Guilty sex.
That was me and Rodney right after I found out he was white.
Also it wasn't exactly the best sex in the world.
Damn.
The guilt you can pray on.
Bad sex? I'm not sure you can pray bad smashing away.
No, no.
It's It's not even about the bad smashing.
Really, it's mostly my own guilt.
Guilt is a wasted emotion.
Just like crying at 4:00 a.
m.
Or just crying.
I literally just got baptized.
I made this huge commitment to Jesus in front of all of these people, and now I feel like I've already turned my back on God, like I cheated on Him.
Trust, you are not the first sinner to cheat on God.
God has been cheated on a lot, okay? He's used to being the side piece.
You just got to figure out how to make Him your main again.
Reach out to me ZOEY: After her heart-to-heart with Sky, Ana was even more confused.
Was the bad smashing a sign from God, telling her that she shouldn't be smashing at all? So, she decided to talk directly with the one she should have gone to first.
Reach out to me - [Cellphone chimes.]
- Paint an "X" Over where it hurts the most But do my very best To see you back to whole [Sighs.]
Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Reach out to me Oh.
That looks really, really good.
Thank you.
Mm.
[Whispering.]
That beanie looks ridiculous.
[Normal voice.]
It looks like she's going to some, like, rave in a log cabin.
But that would be too brutally honest for Indigo's fragile ego, so for the sake of protecting my job, I'm-a keep my comments to myself.
[Chuckles.]
That beanie looks absolutely ridiculous.
- What'd you say? - [Whispering.]
I couldn't help myself.
Well, um, I am sorry, and I know I'm about to be fired, but come on, Indigo.
You know, we're obviously just not a fit, because at first, you say that you want brutal honesty, and then you say that you don't want brutal honesty.
And honestly, I'm a little confused.
But the one thing that I'm actually not confused on is the fact that that beanie does not at all go with this outfit that we agreed upon.
And so you can wear it.
Sure.
I-It's fine and all.
But I know that I wouldn't be doing my job as a stylist if I didn't at least voice my honest and professional opinion.
So There it is.
- There what is? - That.
That "Eye of the Tiger" I was looking for.
It was a test.
I do it to all my stylists.
- Mm-hmm.
- Some of them shrink.
Some of them rise to the occasion.
And you rose.
I did? I rose? I rose.
You'd be surprised how many people let me go onstage looking so crazy.
Mm.
And I'm surprised I didn't break you - with that "bitch-ass" comment.
- [Chuckles.]
And I'm glad I didn't because your bitch-ass is talented.
Thank you.
Hmm.
You're welcome.
Hmm.
So, as a result of doubling down on my professional commitment, I had earned Indigo's very odd and slightly disrespectful respect.
But for Ana, her struggle with her spiritual commitment was proving to be much more challenging.
- Thanks for coming over.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry I bounced so fast yesterday.
No, no.
I-It's fine.
It was, whatever, weird.
- Um - Yeah.
[Sighs.]
I was thinking about the other week, when, uh Pastor Babyboy gave that sermon about how God wants us to focus more on our lasting holiness instead of our fleeting happiness, and right now, where I'm at in my life I think I need to focus more on my lasting holiness.
[Sighs.]
Yeah.
Right.
I understand.
You know, I've been doing this celibacy thing for a little while, and it was going pretty well until I met you.
I didn't expect to feel how I feel about you as fast as I've been feeling it.
I wish it was different, but I I get it.
I do.
I just hope you know that I'm I'm doing this because I love you.
I love you, too.
I'm just low-key mad you said it first.
Guess I'll see you around? Yeah.
[Both sigh.]
[Chuckles.]
- Wow.
- Phew! Maybe we should have started on the couch.
Definitely.
Definitely should've started here.
[Both chuckle.]
[Sighs.]
What do we do now? Make your way So, Ana and Javi decided to renew their vow of celibacy, recommitting to God and their relationship by asking their fellow believers to lay hands on them for strength so they wouldn't lay hands on each other.
to the river [Clears throat.]
I need to use the bathroom.
No.
Sit! I am scared, man.
Listen to me.
You're ready and she's coming.
- We're gonna do this, just like we rehearsed.
- You're right.
I got it.
No tripping.
- [Clears throat.]
- Come on, bro.
Can I get you anything for dessert? Happy birthday.
- Happy bir - It's, um To me, to me.
Today is my birthday.
[Inhales sharply.]
- Oh.
- So - Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
How old are you? Well What? [Smacks lips.]
You got me.
You got me, okay? I-I-I-I wasn't built for this.
I'm not a liar.
He told me to do it.
Okay, so, it's not your birthday? Bitch-ass.
