The Bad Seed Returns

Are we friends now?

Hey, I haven't seen you in forever. How are you?

No, I'm good.

My gosh, he said that?

My god, that is so cute!

My god, that is so cute!

My god, that is so cute!

- Morning! - Hi, Aunt Angela.

- Here, let me get it. I got it. - Thank you.

How do I look? I know it's only been nine months, but I don't know,

- I feel like I lost a step or two. - You look great.

Ladies! Breakfast is getting cold!

I smell carbs. Why does he always do this?

Because he's trying. Because that's what we do, right?

We rise above and we make it work.

- Mi amor. Princesa. - Coming!

I mean, it was just so much simpler before.

I know. It was. But I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of us. I mean, look at us. We're complete.

- We're like one big, happy family now. - Minus the carbs.

I like that one.

See you down there.

No, that's so cute.

- You want a coffee? - Yes, please.

Hey, gorgeous.

- I love you in these. - Quit it.

I can't.

Good morning! Pancakes?

So, big day today?

- We're still about two weeks out. - You nervous?

Emma doesn't get nervous. Not like her auntie.

She's got this.

We actually finish learning the dance routine today.

It's short, like, four eight counts.

Then we have to make a speech, we present to everybody,

then everyone votes,

and the winner is Dance Team Captain Junior year.

Any competition?

Steph, but...

I mean, not really, you know?

I don't know. Digame.

I'm kinda awesome.

- En español? - I take French.

Je suis géniale.

Besides, it's not like you're really Cuban.

Soy asombroso! I mean, sure, I'm just a huge Cuba-file,

but there could be some Cuban blood in me somewhere.

I'm going to get you fluent by the end of the year.

Steph's mom runs Pediatrics.

Rachel and I have been friends for years.

Well, may the best dancer win.

Try them. They're gluten-free. Zero-calorie.

High-protein.

So good.

Yes!

You are so funny, mijito! You are so funny!

But you can't outsmart your papa! No, you cannot.

Two things he loves these days,

Yummy Oats and throwing his spoons.

There you go.

- Hey, you sure you're okay with this? - Okay with it? Are you kidding me?

I'm lucky.

I mean, remote classes are shorter, I get to work on my book,

fix up The Beast.

- I hate The Beast. - No, you love The Beast...

And I get to perfect my cooking and, best of all,

I get to take care of our son.

And you get to put up a fence around the pool

before the baby starts walking.

And I get to put up a fence around the pool

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Hey, before I forget, have either of you seen my camping knife?

You know, the black one with the carved handle?

- I'll keep an eye out. - Gracias, princesa.

Come here.

Enjoy, enjoy! Eat your pancakes.

Of course.

Emma, what's wrong with Cade?

If he threw his spoon, there's some new ones in the dishwasher.

- What's this? - Rob wanted to talk to you about that.

He used to lecture there. He said it's amazing.

95% of their graduates go Ivy.

- Since I know you're looking at Yale... - Is it a boarding school?

No, no. Not like that. It's only a couple hours away,

so you could come home on the weekends.

Just a second!

- This was Rob's idea? - He just wants what's best for you.

Anyways, it's just something to think about.

- Good luck today. Have fun. - Thanks, kiddo. I needed that.

- Steph, you look so cute. - Really?

I keep telling you. It's adorbs. Right, Em?

- Yeah. It really suits you. - You don't think it's too short?

No! Are you kidding me? You look amazing.

- It looks great. - Thank you.

All right. Second Law.

Stephanie?

The rate of change of momentum of a body over time

is directly proportional to...

Who can help her out? Emma! Give us the business!

The rate of change of momentum of a body over time

is directly proportional to the force applied,

and occurs in the same direction.

And there it is!

And now, for all the marbles.

What is Newton's...

- Sorry. - Come on in. Don't be shy.

Physics is the place to be!

- Okay, everyone, this is Katherine... - Kat.

Just Kat.

Kat Sandberg. She's a transfer from upstate.

I'm sure you'll all make her feel welcome.

There's a spot just over there.

All right. Back to the Big Kahuna.

Newton's Third Law of Motion? Anyone?

Dazzle me, Grossman.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Page 44.

Hello! They moved you next to me.

I know. Lucky me.

Well, consider this a housewarming then.

- Still your favorite, right? - You remembered.

Hide them under the desk so the residents don't steal them.

My gosh! Isn't he just everything?

- Look at that hair! - I know.

- How're you holding up? - Fine.

I somehow have 12,000 unread emails.

- How is that even possible? - I know.

Hey, listen, you got a second? I want to run something by you.

- Yeah. Of course. - Dance Team Captain auditions.

You too, right?

Emma has been counting down the days. It is...

- Ridiculous. - Yeah.

Girls are already so insecure and so competitive at this age.

You know how long Steph cried after she got her hair cut this weekend?

So I was thinking... slumber party. Pizza, goofy games.

Good, clean fun to just lighten it up, take the pressure off.

Emma would love that.

Dr. Grossman to Emergency Room 3.

They know you're here.

Better get in there, doc. It's just like riding a bike.

Okay...

Okay, let's take it from that last section again. Emma, jump in.

And...

five, six, seven, eight!

Stop. You're too stiff.

Floppy feet give me migraines.

And face! Give me face!

That was a hot mess. Okay, one more time.

Steph, jump in for Emma.

Emma, we need more practice from you.

And... five, six, seven, eight!

Amy, watch your spacing.

And face!

Better. Okay, girls, catch your breath.

Great job, Stephanie.

- Bye, guys. - See ya.

Emma, you coming?

- I need a few minutes. - Don't worry, you'll get it.

Emma!

- What's up? - Hey, Nathan.

Need a ride?

I'm right around the corner.

Okay. Okay, cool.

Next time then?

- Sure. - Okay.

- Later. - Bye.

All right, guys, welcome back.

I want to make sure you all have your cameras on and no cat emoticons this time

because last time, we...

The mouth was moving, yeah. So, make sure your cameras are on.

Trevor, your camera is on. I don't like to not see your face, okay?

So here we go.

This is the question that I pose to all of you.

Which author, of all the novels that we've studied,

best represents the heart and soul of Cuba?

Arenas?

Infante? Carpentier?

Some of you are even going to make an argument for Padura

that I would be happy to read.

I just think that if you go back and review chapter five Carpentier,

you're going to find...

Cade! Robert! My god.

- Cade! - What is the matter with you?

- You were supposed to be watching him! - I was watching him!

I don't know what happened! The door was closed!

No, it was not closed! Do you realize what could have just happened?

Okay, let's just calm down. Are you okay, buddy?

No, no, no! I'm not going to calm down!

This is why I wanted a fence around the pool!

This is exactly what I was afraid of!

Look, kids come into my ER all the time after falling into the family pool,

and it is always, always too late to save them! Do you understand?

Look, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, buddy. I'm so sorry. Let's just...

I'm going to get a fence put up around this pool, and let's all just breathe.

- Just don't. - Angela.

This looks delicious.

Thank you.

Hopefully, we can just have a nice dinner
