1 - [Esme.]
You were freaking out! - No, I wasn't! - [Zig.]
Yes, you were.
- I was fine.
No, you were freakin' out! [Esme.]
You were totally scared! [Frankie.]
They're called horror movies for a reason.
I was horrified.
Sorry to interrupt, but there's a minivan outside calling our name.
Your turn to take the kids to soccer? [Tiny.]
Tonight's gonna be amazing.
I thought we could go get the food before lunch ends.
- What's tonight? - Yeah, what's tonight, Zig? Oh, so you didn't tell your girlfriends about our camping trip? No, he didn't.
Uh, yeah, no [stuttering.]
We're going camping this weekend.
Like, an unofficial grad trip.
It's a friends thing.
- Who's we? - Maya - Of course.
- [Tiny.]
Uh, Grace and Jonah.
They're a couple.
- But we were all friends first.
- You're saying we're not friends? I just didn't think camping was your thing.
Fine.
If you don't want me to come Of course I do.
And wouldn't it be so much better if we were there? [mouthing.]
No.
- You guys make everything more fun, but - [Esme.]
Then it's settled! I hope there's room in the minivan for two more.
[chuckles.]
[theme music playing.]
Whatever it takes I know I can make it through And if I hold out I know I can make it through Be the best, be the best The best that I can be Whatever it takes I know I can make it I know I can make it through - [bell ringing.]
- I thought this was a friends thing.
It was until Esme, you know, was Esme.
But it'll be nice to do something together before school ends.
Yeah, now that track's over, I can actually have some free time.
Well, when I'm not studying for exams, or staring at my phone waiting to hear from scouts.
Aw, they'll call.
So? Is that a yes? Well, I'll have to ask my parents first.
Can't wait.
What can't he wait for? Uh, he invited me to go on his grad camping trip this weekend.
And if you said yes, I had no idea you were ready.
I feel like I'm missing something? You, Tiny, alone, in a tent Why are we alone? I thought everyone would be sharing tents.
Oh, Shay.
Sweet, young Shay.
- We're the same age.
- This isn't family camping.
This is grown-up camping with grown-up activities.
- What! Sex? No.
- [chuckles.]
- Don't you want to? - Yes? Maybe? I don't know.
Well, school's almost over and he's graduating Yes, okay, thank you, I get it! Whatever.
It's not like my parents are gonna let me go, anyway.
Well, if you tell them that all you'll be doing is playing tennis [Maya over headphones.]
And maybe this will be love When I'm ready To get close to you I will Yes, I will - [both.]
Maya! - [gasps.]
Whoa! Whoa! What's wrong? I'm just really stressed about getting these songs done.
The ones to play for Craig Manning? Yeah, they have to be awesome if I'm gonna make that spot on his tour, and so far, they're all just blah.
Okay, well, maybe this'll help you find your way.
I can't come.
I have to write.
But this is our last chance for fun before exams.
Yeah, which I also have to ace.
SoCalArt won't like it if I tank my finals.
But didn't your therapist say that downtime is important? [sighs.]
Therapy card.
Nice.
- Also, we need a buffer.
- Yeah.
Esme's coming? I don't know [sighs.]
This is exhausting.
- Just agree already! - [Maya sighs.]
Yeah, you'll come back full of ideas.
[sighs.]
Fine.
But you guys have to help me with this prechorus on the way up.
- Okay.
- [chuckles.]
So I splurged and got us a treat.
[giggles.]
- Come on, try it on.
- Yeah.
- I don't think I'm gonna go.
- Why not? Because we weren't really invited? Right.
'Cause Zig's friends hate me.
- That's not true.
- Why else would they exclude me? They want us to break up.
They'd love for him to get back together with Maya.
You're being paranoid.
They've all been friends forever.
There's so much history.
- It'd be better if you were there.
- I'm gonna sit this one out.
Fine.
[cell phone vibrates.]
Okay, I need to go.
Please don't be mad at me.
You're throwing me to the wolves! - [sighs.]
- What? Have you ever tried just being their friend? I mean, I'm just sayin', you're kinda selective about who you let in.
You're awesome.
Just let them see that.
Make your own history.
Where are you going? Home to pack.
Hey, Mom.
How was your day? - Yeah, mine was good.
- Did she even ask about camping yet? I'm on my way home now.
Need anything for dessert? I think she's chickening out.
Wait, what do you mean, getting ready for camping? How did you know? You talked to Tiny? Yeah, no, I know he's a very responsible young man, but Okay, wait.
So I can go? [chuckles.]
But Tiny and I, we'll probably be sleeping in the same tent [Lola sighs.]
- Alone.
Just the two of us.
- [chuckles.]
So just to be clear, you're letting me go camping, overnight, with my boyfriend.
Okay then.
Love you, too.
- [chuckling.]
- You're going camping! - We're going camping! - [Lola.]
Oh, even better! No, no, no, no! I just told Esme I can't go.
Oh, trouble in poly paradise? There's a surprise.
You have to come.
You're the only one of us who can drive.
- Didn't Tiny rent a van? - There's not enough room for all of us.
And besides, I need you guys there.
Hey, do you really want to take advice from a girl in a weird three-way? Uh, says the girl who won't even tell us who she lost her virginity to.
Fine.
It was Miles.
Happy? - [chuckles.]
Oh, my God, can you imagine? - [Shay laughs.]
Barf! Okay, so besides putting you guys between us in the tent, what do I do? Well, you can always talk to Tiny, and if you're ready, you'll know.
Fine.
But I still need a drive.
Ugh, fine.
- You owe me so hard! - Road trip! [chuckles.]
[laughing.]
[inaudible.]
Okay, I still can't believe you thought that gun was real.
You guys were so scary.
And I hadn't seen you in, like, a year.
I thought you had changed.
- And had I? - [Maya.]
No.
You'd just gone and cut the sleeves off all of your shirts.
[Zig and Jonah chuckle.]
Ah! [chuckling.]
Next time you guys are pulling a prank, you should let me know.
I've got an excellent poker face.
[chuckling awkwardly.]
Fire's ready! That looks great, babe.
Thanks.
I watched, like, a million videos online.
Looks like the log cabin technique was the way to go.
[clicks tongue.]
Mmm.
- All right.
So, uh, what's for dessert? - Oh, that was on me! Hold on! Brownies with a little something extra.
So, uh, so you mean they're weed brownies, or Thought we could make some history.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
Mmm, yeah, me, too.
[clears throat.]
Come on, I know you like to party! Nah.
Shay'll be here soon.
I don't wanna be all messed up for my girl.
Looks like it's just you and me.
I'm just gonna get sleepy.
- [chuckles.]
- [Tiny sighs.]
Dessert-less? - This is a tragedy.
- No, don't despair.
I never go into the woods without the ability to make s'mores.
- [Tiny.]
All right! - Hero! [Maya.]
I didn't bring sticks.
I'm on it.
[Grace chuckles.]
Where are you going? I think I'm getting a headache.
I'm just gonna go lie down.
[Zig.]
Okay.
- All right.
- [Zig.]
All right, cool.
[Jonah.]
Who's first? Who's first? You guys get sticks? Here.
[Grace chuckling.]
A bright blue morning A clear sunny day This song is crap Just like everything I've written today - Whoa! Go easy on yourself.
- [Maya.]
This is so stressful.
- What if I never write a good song again? - [horn honking.]
Hey, they're here! Woo-hoo! I'm so glad you're here.
You can put your stuff in my tent.
[sighs.]
Oh, good! I'm starving.
- Those are weed brownies.
- What? Yeah.
Hey, do you wanna put your stuff in my uh, or, I guess, our tent? Um, yeah.
Yeah, sure.
[softly.]
Yeah, that's not weird.
Dramz! Maybe we should eat those brownies so everyone can calm down.
- Helpful.
- [scoffs.]
- Where is Esme, anyway? - In the tent.
You've finally come to your senses.
[grunts.]
Oh.
It's just you.
- I thought you'd be happy to see me.
- [sighs.]
What's wrong? I tried with his friends, and they still rejected me.
It doesn't matter.
They'll always hate me.
I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
I just I need Zig to understand what he'd lose if we broke up.
Which is why it's great that you're here! Do you have your bikini? Put it on! We can go swimming.
Not that we'd have them on for long.
Who can say no to skinny dipping with two girls? Maybe we can just go hang out with everyone else.
They don't want me.
But you do, and Zig will.
We just need to find the perfect spot.
Come on! Uh, maybe you want to put on a top? [chuckles nervously.]
[Maya.]
I give up.
I haven't written anything good since "Last Exit.
" What if I've lost it? Well, you're not gonna be able to write anything when you're this stressed.
Yeah, you just gotta try and relax.
It'll be better for you and the music.
- Do you think those would help with that? - Step away from the edibles.
You're the one that told me you wanted me to relax.
Maybe try meditation before mind-altering substances.
- Shall we? - Uh, yeah, we need to get more wood.
[Lola.]
Let's try to do some chubby bunnies.
- [Zig blowing raspberry.]
- [Lola chuckling.]
[Frankie.]
We've been walking forever.
Shouldn't we head back? It's getting kinda dark.
- We haven't found a place to swim.
- So? Everything's fine! No, it's not! How do you not see that? Okay, stop for a second! Are you okay? You're just acting really weird.
It's weird that I don't want my boyfriend to abandon me? - That's not gonna happen! - You don't know that! Which is why you're in that bikini.
- He can't say no to a threesome.
- Okay, hold on.
I'm not doing that.
Then what's the point of you even being here? So that's all I am, then? I'm just some pet to keep Zig's attention on you? I made you! What? You were just some pathetic girl moping over a dumb boyfriend and I made you awesome! Now you won't even do one little thing for me? I wouldn't call that little.
You're just like everyone else.
I give you everything and you turn on me.
Find your own way back.
[all laughing.]
I should, uh, probably check on Esme.
Yeah.
[Tiny.]
Oh, man, bet we won't be seeing him again tonight.
[Jonah chuckling.]
Guys! I wrote the best song ever, and in record time, too.
That's what I should call it, "Record Time.
" Because it's also, like, record time, you get it? No.
Not at all.
Listen.
Wait.
The universe expands Within my mind I am one with all womankind [both chuckle.]
What are you laughing at? - Nothing.
Keep going.
- Yes.
Please, keep going.
Why did you just look at her? Oh, it's really hot.
Is anyone else really hot? I need to sit down.
Am I twirling? Whoa! Am I twirling? - Are you okay? - Yeah.
- I think I just ate too many brownies.
- Brownies, plural? Okay, dude, you should probably go lie down.
Yeah, okay.
I'm going.
[guitar clangs.]
Okay, she'll probably just sleep it off.
[scoffs.]
Oh, I'm going to bed.
These mosquitoes are the worst.
[Grace.]
Yeah, us, too.
- What? The mosquitoes are bad.
- Okay.
I'm not saying anything.
Did you bring a tent? You could sleep with me and Tiny.
Uh, I'm going in the car.
Think a piece of nylon is gonna save me from a bear eating my face off? Oh, there are no bears.
But coyotes, on the other hand - Okay, good night! - [Tiny chuckles.]
The coyote population isn't that big, if that makes you feel any better.
You wanna go to bed, too? Ah, but it's so nice out! - Hey! [chuckles.]
- Nice.
Come on.
Tent's bug-free.
Okay, um good night! [chuckles.]
Don't you think we should talk first? [Shay.]
About what? What you're not telling me? My friends think this is grown-up camping.
[chuckles.]
Grown-up activities? [sighs.]
The thought did cross my mind, but, obviously, only if you want to.
I just don't know how to tell if I'm ready.
You can always talk to me, you know.
Ah! Can you cut off my arm, please? [chuckles.]
Let me see.
Ah.
Always come prepared.
My friends think I need to give myself a chance to know if I'm ready to know if I'm ready.
I'm a little confused.
[chuckles.]
I guess I was just scared of how I'd feel when I was actually here with you.
So? How do you feel? Ready.
[sighs.]
Esme? [Maya sniffling.]
- You okay? - [groans.]
I don't want to be high anymore.
- You ate Esme's brownies.
- Mmm-hmm.
Wow, I can't believe her sometimes.
I just thought if I ate this bread, [sniffles.]
that it would go away.
But it won't go away.
Okay, come on.
Maybe you should go to bed.
No, I went to bed! I tried that.
It didn't work.
And I still have to write a song! Oh, my God, I have to write a song.
How am I going to do that, Zig? I just keep screwing up.
Forever.
Always.
- [sniffles and grunts.]
- Okay, all right.
I'll help ya, okay? How? We'll we'll write a song together.
Okay, let's just Let's just get you to your tent first, okay? - We're gonna write a song about water? - If you want, yeah.
- Come on.
- [sniffles.]
[Maya.]
A bright blue morning A clear sunny day All I can hope Is things will start to go my way [chuckles.]
It's not that good.
What? - What? - [sighs.]
[exhales.]
Maya you scared me.
No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine! Why would you do that to yourself? Because I feel this wall of pressure coming at me like a tidal wave.
So what's more important? Your health, or My dream? When we found you on the roof, it felt like the world was gonna end.
I almost lost you.
I don't know what I'd do if it happened for real.
[crying.]
I can't breathe! Help! Help! I can't breathe! [gasps.]
Help! Help! I can't breathe! - [gasps.]
- Esme? [gasping.]
- [grunting and gasping.]
- [Grace.]
What's going on? Uh, she's allergic to bees.
She must have gotten stung.
Oh, my God.
[gasping.]
- [Tiny.]
Dude! What the hell? - We need help! Esme got stung.
Come on! Just put calamine lotion on it.
No! She's allergic and you know science! - Come on! - But bees don't come out at night.
Her EpiPen's in here.
If it's really anaphylaxis, she should lie still on her back.
[stutters.]
Wait, what do I do? Just give it to me.
[grunting and gasping.]
Uh, I think I'm gonna be okay.
No, we still have to take you to the hospital.
What? Why? The adrenaline shot's just to buy us time.
The symptoms could come back.
That's really not necessary.
Give it to me.
I don't want anyone to prick themselves.
[Shay scoffs.]
She didn't even inject herself.
You're supposed to take off the blue cap.
It's still loaded.
You faked all this? [sniffles and sighs.]
[grunts.]
I thought I was gonna die.
Why would you leave me in the woods? [panting.]
[grunts.]
Wait.
What's going on? I'm going for a walk.
Please, I can explain! [sighs.]
[chuckles.]
[chuckles.]
Hey, good morning.
Sorry we got interrupted last night.
Mmm.
Nothing like a fake medical emergency to spoil the mood.
[chuckles.]
Guess we should help with breakfast.
We could do that.
Or Seriously? But Frankie's a terrible cook.
She'll burn the bacon.
Where have you been all night? [sighs.]
Walking.
Thinking.
About last night, I can explain.
- Stop.
- I really was having trouble breathing.
Stop lying to me! You were alone with Maya! Because she was in trouble.
I was helping her.
She put herself in trouble so you would leave me! That is some messed-up thinking, Esme.
You know, I've spent my entire year wrapped up in your insanity.
[cries.]
Please, don't do this.
Let's just Let's just forget about everything and get back to what we're good at.
I'm trying to have an actual conversation with you.
Not everything is about sex, Esme! [sighs.]
I'm sorry, but I'm done.
- Please, we can figure this out.
- No, we can't.
I think you should see if you can ride home with Frankie.
[crying.]
Okay, next time, no sparklers.
You guys almost burnt my beautiful hair off.
There were sparklers? You were passed out by then.
How are you feeling? Totally fried.
Okay, well, for the record, I did say those brownies were a bad idea, so It wasn't all bad.
I think I figured some stuff out.
Do you know what your hit song's going to be about? No, but I realized I gotta go easier on myself.
Make my health a priority.
The songs will come when they come.
- What about your audition? - If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
Well, at least the brownies helped you realize all that.
It wasn't the brownies.
- Oh! - Whoa, dude! Careful! [Tiny.]
Sorry.
Hey, you want to take this before Tiny breaks it? Yeah.
Glad you're feeling better.
[pop song playing.]
