[chalk scrawling]
[Ms. Jackson] I'll color in the first part of the fraction,
and you guys can do the rest.
-[farting] -[children giggling]
Does someone need to use the restroom?
-[farting] -[children laughing]
Okay. Who's the comedian?
-[farting] -[children laughing raucously]
Hand it over.
[Ruby] Is that Silly Putty?
[Ms. Jackson] Squeeze it.
[squelches]
That's not Silly Putty.
He hid under my desk last week.
Well, he and his sister play hide-and-seek at home.
I had the whole school looking for him.
[squelches]
I'm sorry.
We were drawing the SpaceX rocket.
-[Stan] Hmm. -Well, he loves art.
He added testicles.
[softly] So…
-Don't worry. We're all over this. -Mmm-hmm. Like the wind.
I'm afraid there's something deeper at play.
What do you mean?
Have you ever heard of ADHD?
Uh… Okay, hold on a minute.
-Fart putty is a disorder now? -Yeah, I mean…
[rapid squelching]
Stuff's addictive.
He treats my classroom like it's his own YouTube channel.
Yeah, okay, but he's not deficient.
There are 20 other students that are here to learn.
He loves it.
Okay. If you're not gonna handle this,
then we might have to take a different course of action.
-Huh. -[Ruby hesitates]
Like what? Kick him out of school?
Just have him tested.
[Stan breathes deeply]
What about a magician?
[Ben] 'Cause I'm turning eight?
Oh, what about the bingo hall?
Because I'm turning 80?
[sighs] Fine, you tell me. What do you want to do?
Nothing.
"Nothing"? We're not gonna not celebrate your birthday.
-Birthdays are lame. -Well, I'm trying to un-lame them.
What about just a dance party?
-In our living room? -Yeah, we do it all the time.
And, you know, Janet down the hall, she could DJ.
I mean, we always listen to her music through the walls, anyway.
She plays the organ.
Just… just send me your friends' Instas,
and I will slide into their DMs and plan the whole thing.
All you have to do is show up, get "turnt" up,
while we celebrate you… growin' up.
Nancy has a stupid dinner planned.
Oh.
[Ben] Birthdays just kind of aren't my thing anymore.
I'm gonna dip.
Later.
[door opens and closes]
[sighs]
He has no friends.
Um, have you talked to him?
[scoffs] Uh-huh. Yeah.
About what?
-You know, him. -Hmm. 'Course.
-Me. -'Course.
It's a lot of me.
Uh-huh.
It's mostly me.
Hmm.
It's 100% me.
-And how is that an issue? -Don't tell me.
This is the part where you want me to realize out loud
that I'm some kind of narcissist and I've been ignoring my son?
The out loud part is optional, but…
Perhaps we could talk about something else.
Your time.
Okay. What happened to your face?
I shaved.
For her?
For me.
Have you picked a date for the wedding?
No.
Venue?
No.
Guest list?
Not yet.
Am I invited?
Nope.
Ouch.
Would you want to come?
Nope.
Ouch.
[sighs softly]
Um…
Is there anything else you'd like to cover?
What day is it today?
Um…
Tuesday.
-You sure? -Yeah.
What was yesterday?
-Monday. -Tomorrow?
Come on.
Wednesday.
Mmm. [chuckles]
So you do understand the concept of time.
Where my cut at?
I said we were almost open.
[Rio] Mmm-hmm.
Kind of like being almost pregnant, right?
We have been killing ourselves, printing money for you seven days a week.
Don't touch that. It's still wet.
Just a bunch of pretty paper.
You know, you can't just start selling hot tubs willy-nilly.
-The city has rules. -And that's not your problem.
Well, then, what is my problem?
It's the school carnival.
Uh… Okay, I'll make cookies.
Oh. Um…
So, we were thinking more like mini khanom chans.
[giggling]
What's that?
-The traditional Thai dessert? -"Chan" means layer.
-Why? -To go with the fundraising theme.
One Night in Bangkok.
Be so cute with the song playing while the kids ride rickshaws.
[Molly gasps] Ooh, we should all wear chut thais.
-But we'd have to make them, though. -You love to sew, right?
You didn't forget about our little incentive program, right?
No, I did not.
Good.
Just trying to keep you motivated.
[Molly] We also need to do a sign-up sheet for parent…
[Lauren] Oh, great idea.
[Emmy] To set up a centerpiece committee.
But do we want to do an e-vite or…
[Lauren] Oh, my God, you guys.
[Molly] What?
[Lauren] They found her. It's all over the news.
Didn't she work with you?
Who?
[Molly] That girl who disappeared a few weeks ago.
They just found her body.
What?
They think some gang killed her.
[Lauren] I don't get it. Who dumps bodies in a graveyard?
[Molly] To hide them on top of other dead people? It's super smart.
[Lauren] Oh, my God.
-I would be livid if a dead person… -Are you all right, Beth?
-She was… -Beth?
[women continue chattering indistinctly]
[Molly] Beth, what's wrong?
I can't see.
-[tray clatters] -[Molly] Oh, my God, Beth.
[doctor] Been under a lot of stress lately?
[Beth] Tiny bit.
Blood pressure's up.
Liver enzymes are elevated. Cortisol level's high.
-Your body's telling you to slow down. -Message received.
Join a gym.
[gasps] It's that bad?
Cut back on coffee, booze…
In the meantime, try to avoid what's causing you so much anxiety.
We're on it, Doc.
[doctor] Someone will be in to discharge you.
-I gotta get my hands on that gun. -[Annie] Jesus!
My fingerprints are all over it. And now, there's a bullet.
What did the lady just say?
Yeah, I'll go to that mom bootcamp in the park or whatever.
-The one that weirdo was talking about? -Well, I'm not giving up the booze.
Where is our [whispers] hitman?
His appointment girl called me. He's on a job in South America.
Well, how about we let that freaky bitch know
that we're gonna put a hit on her hitman if he doesn't hit our man?
Yeah. Why don't you get right on that?
Okay, I'm sorry. What else makes that gun go away?
If I give him something he really needs.
-You gonna hit bologna town again? -I mean, way to take one for the team.
Not that.
How quickly can we open?
-We need inspections, codes, new signage… -You're overthinking this.
Health department has to give us the all-clear on Legionnaires'.
The money has run out.
What does that mean?
It means we have to sell some hot tubs, Dean.
I know. Spas.
What if that can't happen?
Well, then I have to go to him.
[Dean] Are you serious?

[exhales]
[Phoebe] Feel the burn?
Everywhere. You're kicking my ass.
That's my job.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Stan] Mmm.
He out?
One song, two books, and a dissertation on velociraptors.
You think he talks too much?
Um, have you met the boy?
I mean, like, in general.
Kid's a damn chatterbox.
He doesn't lose stuff, does he?
Well… he lost that blue jacket.
-But then, he found it. -Yeah, but then he lost the hat.
You think he does that "occasionally, often, or very often"?
What are you doing?
-There's a prelim form to fill out. -Mmm! He doesn't need a test, Ruby.
-You heard what she said. -You know what I heard?
His white teacher can't tell the difference between
an energetic kid and a misbehaving Black boy.
What if it's not just that?
-And what else would it be? -Us.
What, like, we gave him ADHD?
-We dropped the ball. -I thought that was with Sara.
Could be both of them.
Mm-mmm. Ain't nothing wrong with him.
And I don't need some test to tell me how I'm doing as a father.
[sighs]
Look. Installation's free. I'm gonna send my guys over to your backyard.
They're gonna turn it into paradise. You're never gonna want to leave.
Welcome to Boland Bubbles, where we tropic like it's hot.
Hi. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.
-Y'all under new management? -Family owned and operated.
Looks different.
Out with the old, in with the new, right?
-New paint? -Yeah. And lots of new inventory.
-I'm Beth, by the way. -Terry.
Tell me about this bad boy.
-Well, you've got a good eye. -[chuckles]
Uh, this is our Insignia X5.
Thirty-five jets. Individual seating.
Comes in bronze, walnut, and sandstone.
[Terry] Mmm.
What kind of voltage does she pull?
Uh… standard outlet.
Just plug and play.
Where's the little girls' room?
Gotta tinkle.
Uh, just there on the left.
Great turnout, right? It's crazy.
-I'm trying to close an X5. -Nice!
-Ooh! Heads up. That was fast. -[mumbles, clears throat]
Well, Terry, you seem to know your way around a spa.
So, I would love to introduce you to my husband
and have him walk you through the technical features,
see what you think.
I think you're shut down.
I'm sorry?
I'm a building inspector with Wayne County.
You folks got yourself a load of violations.
Painted over your sprinkler heads.
Gonna have to dock you on that.
Got a residential power strip juicing all your units.
Gotta dock you.
Centerline of the toilet in your tinkler is less than 15 inches from this wall.
That's a two-fer. Plumbing and ADA. So, what do I got to do, Dean?
Dock me?
Mmm-hmm.
So, that's "sprinklers, wiring, construction, plumbing".
This could take months.
If you're lucky.
Can I get another one of these for my niece?
Yeah, at the front.
All right, folks!
That's a wrap on Boland Bubbles!
Don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
[Phoebe] All right, ladies. Now, pick up those buns.
-No slacking. Let's go. -It's like a friends and family discount.
-I didn't know y'all were open. -Oh, we're not.
-But you guys are like tastemakers. -[Phoebe] Up… and down.
I'm telling you.
Once you step foot in a hot and steamy Boland,
you will not be able to keep it a secret.
-[Phoebe] Sit in the chair. -We just put in a new deck.
Well, you know what goes with a new deck.
-[Phoebe] Sit in the chair. -Lily just started private school.
-[Phoebe] Come on! -Can't afford.
I'm not supposed to be selling them.
-[Phoebe] Keep it going. -I'll work with you.
Less mouth, more ass.
[whispers] I have brochures.
[Phoebe] You gotta breathe! Want to stop peeing when you sneeze?
[Beth] You can just pick 'em up and pass 'em out at drop-off.
[Phoebe] Tuck your butts!
[women grunt]
I'll hook anybody up.
Selling hot tubs in my class?
Sorry.
Do I count as friend and family?
Uh…
Yeah, sure.
How low can you go?
-I mean pricing. -Oh.
Um…
Lower than my pelvic floor after four kids?
-You take Venmo? -I'll take anything.
[cars honking in distance]
-Hey. -[sighs] Hey.
Where's Ben?
Cleaning the house.
Alone? Why?
We need to talk about him.
[sighs]
-It's not cool, right? -He told you?
[Annie sighs]
-What do we do? -[Greg] I don't know.
Nancy thinks we should make him switch schools.
You know, I mean, maybe she's right.
Over one party?
Huh?
Didn't the cops call you?
What are you talking about?
Ben threw a rager at our house.
-Well, where the hell were you? -We were just at Nancy's parents' cabin.
-What did you think we were talking about? -That he has no friends.
[scoffs] He had, like, 100 people at our house.
Who?
Sam, Eddie, Janice, the whole lacrosse team…
I don't know. The usual suspects.
I don't know any of those suspects.
Okay, well, they all had their shoes on in our house and Nancy is losing her mind.
He plays lacrosse?
-Yeah, how do you not know that? -How did you know that?
'Cause I bought him the gear.
[sighs]
Sorry. Look, you've been really busy.
That's not why.
We… we just know all the parents from around the neighborhood and stuff.
And lacrosse.
-Don't go there. -Already there.
He just knows you wouldn't really be into it.
What, his whole new secret fancy life?
Well, he's got a game next weekend, if you want to come.
You could meet all the usual suspects.
Can I borrow something from Nancy to wear?
No, your boobs are too big.
[both chuckle softly]
We would love for you to take another look at our facility.
You couldn't have possibly fixed everything that fast.
Well, we came up with some creative solutions.
Well, I've been doing this for 19 years.
And believe me, I've seen it all. [chuckles]
Have you seen this?
[Terry] Looks the same.
Are you trying to waste my time?
[Beth] Um… We are trying…
to make it worth your while.
[Dean clears throat]
Yes, uh…
We know how, uh, tricky wiring can be.
So, please just let us know if there's anything you'd like us to do.
And obviously, we can't knock down the whole tinkler. [chuckles]
So, we got a new toilet.
[Dean] We haven't installed it, yet.
What do you, uh… What do you think?
Did we pass?
[sighs]
[pop music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Buy you a drink?
I own the place.
Why don't you buy me one, then?
Why would I do that?
Boland Bubbles is in business.
[sighs]
-That's what he's calling it? -Yeah, I think it's cute.
Yeah. Real panty dropper.
Yeah, well, it's fully operational.
Your money is being cleaned, laundered, folded, and pressed as we speak.
Um, a tequila for the chief. Top-shelf.
And, um…
Do you have anything without alcohol or caffeine?
Just bourbon. Neat.
Could be more excited.
Ain't always about you, is it?
It's what you wanted.
You know what? I got other stuff on my mind.
I need that gun.
I'm sorry, what?
We're up and running. I'm making you bank.
It doesn't make sense to hold it over me anymore.
You know what?
You're right.
I am?
Yeah. Not gonna hold it over you anymore.
Thanks.
Cops might, though.
Yeah, see, the lawyer says I've got to go in about that friend of yours.
Apparently, they think I had something to do with it, which is just crazy.
[chuckles]
And what are you gonna tell 'em?
Not sure I gotta say anything.
If you give it to them, I'm not the only thing that goes away.
Mmm-hmm.
Priorities, huh?
I'll take another one.
There's a one-way to St. Petersburg. Leaves at midnight.
-Florida? -Russia.
-Why Russia? -[Annie] Because they'll give you asylum.
How do you even know he's gonna turn over the gun?
-How do I know he's not? -[Annie] Exactly.
That's why we gotta get your ass on this plane to Sheremetyevo Airport. Now.
She's gonna live in Russia now.
Yeah. I mean, Snowden lived in the terminal.
-Her kids? -We'll sneak 'em out, one by one.
So, it's gonna be one big happy family living in a terminal.
-Snowden did. -Eating Sbarro's.
-Snowden did. -'Cause they have Sbarro's in Russia.
Since 1997.
The point is, you can't be extradited for murder.
You just need a lawyer.
I was the last person she was seen with.
Okay, a good one.
-And I lied to the police. -A real good one.
-And I stole her bird. -Technically, I stole her bird.
Okay. Where's her power-walking boyfriend? He'll back you up.
[Annie] Probably still in diapers since the time he saw gang friend.
You didn't pull the trigger!
I may as well have.
What are you looking for?
She's making me mental.
[Beth] Dear Dean,
I've spent the last two years cooking and cleaning.
I've learned I'm excellent at both.
And you will be, too.
Because I am going to tell you exactly what to do and how to do it.
My friends will make the money.
You're gonna buy hot tubs with it. A lot of 'em.
From as many wholesalers as you can, just in case.
Spread it around.
This is where you shine, Dean. Price doesn't matter. It's all profit.
Now you're gonna sell 'em.
And this is how you hide it.
Inflate the sales price or the number of the units sold, ideally both.
It's pretty simple.
I know you can do this.
You can still live the dream.
Nobody needs to know how you got there.
Love, Beth.

Remember when those raccoons tracked the mud all over the downspout?
I need to tell you something.
Look at this. I have to repaint the entire door.
And it's all over. Everywhere that inspector woman touched.
I have to redo the bathroom, that front area over there.
It's like, what? Did she change the oil in her car before she came here?
And Eric, he's already returned the stuff.
And we're never gonna match the color. It's Swiss Coffee and Pale Avocado…
[continues indistinctly]
Hey.
What do you want to tell me?
Nothing.
[door opens]
[door shuts]
-Stopped by the school today. -What for?
Tell little man's principal that if Mrs. Jackson can't take a fart joke,
then maybe our son's not the problem.
-How did that go over? -Starts in Ms. V's class on Monday.
Bad people, not bad parents.
What happens when he does the same thing in her class?
-Well, she sees kids as kids. -Hmm.
-What's this? -Science homework.
-He didn't do it? -Oh, he did it.
-Why did he draw a picture of a cactus? -It's not a cactus.
-Meerkat. -Nope.
-Prairie dog? -Penis.
Math.
-I'm guessing that's not a number. -And history.
[gasps]
I'm gonna get ahead of this one
and let you know right now it's not the Washington Monument.
I was really hoping it was.
Me, too.
Uh-uh-uh.
I'll call about the test tomorrow.
[man on TV] …few animals on Earth who work as well together as meerkats.
-These squirrel-sized members… -[door opens]
-[Annie] Hey. -Hi.
How was Dad's?
Boring.
-How was the dinner? -Plant-based. Um…
I got homework, so--
Hey, I thought maybe next weekend, we could, like, go to the movies.
Buy one ticket, and then sneak into five.
-Think I might go to Dad's again. -You were just there.
I know, but I have a school thing.
Oh. Sick, can I come?
It's sort of not for parents.
Yeah. No, that's…That's totally cool.
But I'm still totally down for the movie thing.
Hey, Ben.
Happy birthday.
Thanks.
-[man continues speaking on TV] -[door shuts]
[horns blaring in distance]
Sure you don't want a fork?
Mm-mmm.
Just thought it might be a little more… efficient for your, uh…
situation.
What do you want?
You got kids?
A little girl in Cincinnati.
You get to see her at all?
Try to get there for her birthdays.
That sucks.
She's got a good mom.
It's better this way.
I need a favor.
[chuckles softly]
You sound like your sister.
She's a really good mom, too.
So?
So, it really shouldn't be her prints on that gun.
Dumpling?
[car door opens]
[sighs, sniffs]
-When are you going in? -Soon.
-I've been thinking a lot about it. -I'll bet you have.
[Beth] It's hard to wrap your brain around, actually.
That each of our fingerprints is totally and completely unique.
Snowflakes, too. And tiger stripes.
Like, why?
Don't know, but it really works out in my favor.
Does it?
Forgot one.
What's this?
You can keep it.
I've got the original somewhere safe.
Just crazy…
that there's a way to get everyone.
Even tigers.
Let me know what the cops say.
Is that booze?
This boy has worked a penis into almost every one of these.
Look at that.
[Ruby sighs]
What did the specialist say?
You're probably gonna want some of this.
-It's that bad? -It's pretty bad. [sighs]
[sighs] Like special school bad?
Mmm-hmm. The real expensive kind.
-This says he should be in eighth grade. -Yep.
But he's in second grade.
Yeah.
No.
Boy's a damn genius.
What are we gonna do?
How are we gonna afford that school?
[Beth] And I went ahead and made some khao tom mud.
Banana leaf sticky rice thing. It's delish.
Oh. But the dye still needs to dry on the chut thai,
so that'll take a minute.
[Molly] But you're feeling better, yeah?
Yes, I am feeling much better.
I just needed to take control of the situation.
Sounds good.
I think we're planning on all getting together next week…
[knocking at door]
Wait, I'm sorry. Can I call you back?
You called.
May I?
Uh… Yeah, let me just grab you a plate.
I lived off these on Koh Samui.
Where's your furniture?
It was stolen.
By whom?
Your target.
Remember? Although, by this point, he's gonna die of old age first.
I have other clients.
I am paying you a lot of money.
For you.
From Chile.
I don't support how they're made, but their little hands are so precise.
Move me up on your schedule.
Try them on.
[sighs]
You've done the legwork.
It's harder than I thought.
He is not hard to find.
-He's not the problem. -Well, who is?
You.
[sighs]
Stunning.
All of it.
-What? -You're distracting.
How?
I can't stop thinking about you.
Mmm.
[speaking Thai]
And if I'm honest…
it's why I've been dragging my feet. [sighs]
-Well, what am I supposed to do here? -Have dinner with me.
-When did they get in? -This morning.
-D.L. Dave, too? -Whole posse.
Is he pissed?
You charged a hot tub to the United States government.
[elevator dings]
-How do I look? -Like you're gonna cry.
-Well, I'm not. -Don't.
-I won't. -You haven't cried in three days.
-So? -You're due.
I promise, okay?
[crying] They bought the place in cash and they're selling them way below cost.
The only way that works is if the plan is to go out of business,
so before you send me home, please put forensic accounting on it.
Because I swear to God, if I am wrong about this,
I will resign if this isn't the best gift I've ever given you. Just trust me.
What do you think, Dave?
[Phoebe sobs]
-No one is shipping you home. -[Phoebe sniffs]
[sighs] Thank you.
-[Dave] Let's get the team on it. -Yes.
-There's a pattern here. -Yes.
His car dealership got busted, too.
Wait. Sorry. What?
Put a tail on this guy.
"Guy"? Wait, wait. Why is it the guy?
And, fellas, let's tighten the net. Last time, he got off on a technicality.
Come on.
[man 1] Let's get out of here.
[man 2] Put in for a box of tissues in the budget.
[man 3] Ah, right. [laughs]
[man 2] They got room for that?
[men laughing]
[man 3] Yeah, right.
