The Nine Lives of Chloe King

Previously on "The Nine Lives of Chloe King"...

I've just noticed a lot of changes the last few weeks.

Late nights, boy issues.

I kissed him and now he's dead. Kind of sounds like my fault.

You've got to step it up. You're a couple.

- How's it going? - Disaster of monumental proportions.

When mom was murdered, parts of it just never made sense to me.

I found the girl. Kill her.

I want to come work for you.

Even when I was leaving, I was never leaving you.

Impressive.

Mmm. You're an excellent teacher.

Maybe I could teach you a few other things.

And already regretting the compliment.

Jasmine told me that you finally came to your senses

and ended your ridiculous flirtation with that human.

You mean Brian?

Not that it's truly any of your business,

but sense is still completely lost.

He's not leaving town after all.

And you're still going to see him?

That's the idea.

We're...

friends.

Alek! What the hell?

You never know when you're gonna be sucker punched.

Best be prepared.

I'll remember that.

I think we're done for the night.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Chloe, breakfast is ready.

Sorry. Seriously super crazy late.

No time for-- is that bacon

that you're making

at the stove?

And there is something resembling a pancake

already on your plate.

Okay, maybe not that late.

Uh, happy and mildly freaked out

at the same time. What's going on?

Nothing's going on.

Mom, real breakfast in the middle of the week?

The day my turtle died-- bacon;

the day you told me we were moving-- bacon;

the day I lost my teddy bear-- bacon.

All right, I get it. Obviously I need to start cooking a little more.

I just woke up early; Thought I'd do something nice.

In that case, thank you.

But this has to be a to-go order.

Oh, before I forget, this Friday--

Friday, right. Meant to tell you. I'm going out with Brian.

I'm just his plus-one for this work thing

his dad's making him go to. So not a big deal.

Sounds like a date to me.

It's not a date, end of story.

Further questions need not apply.

And now finally goodbye.

Oh, wait, what about Friday?

Oh right. Well, you know, it's nothing really.

But you know that contractor I've been working with

over on the Kerny property, Frank Cabrera?

Uh-huh. Well, actually...

We are going out out on a date date

together this Friday.

See? Bacon. I knew it.

When did this happen? I didn't even know you liked him.

- Is he cute? - Details to follow.

Now go. Free, quality education will wait for no one.

We are not finished with this conversation, young lady.

Chloe.

- This is so exciting. - It is, right?

But my mom's been on dates before.

I don't know why a big deal out of this one.

I do. She obviously likes him.

Chloe's getting a new daddy.

Ugh. Amy, please!

Why must you take everything into hyper drive?

Heavy emphasis on the "hyper."

This is perfect.

Now we all have dates for Friday.

Thank you.

I knew you and Paul would get back together.

We're not back together.

And I love that you didn't correct me for once

when I said are going on a date.

Only because it's exhausting.

And if you're not going out with Paul, then who are you going out with?

Jonah Mimby.

Do not give me that look.

I've never been out with a senior before.

Plus he's super smart.

We're in academic decathlon together.

- But Paul-- - And I are done...

which may never have happened if you hadn't gotten involved.

Oh, don't even try that. We both know that wasn't my fault.

Who's that with Alek?

I don't know. She must be new.

Since this is your first day at school,

I could show you where home room is.

Or I could show you where the completely of the map storage rooms are.

Your choice.

Chloe.

So I think there's some paper back there

- and maybe some pencils - Mmm? There.

Anything else on the tour?

What do you think you're doing?

Chloe, this is Mimi; Mimi, the Uniter.

She's Mai.

Uh, I didn't know. I just thought that--

What, that we're like you?

Turns out you're the only one reckless enough to date a human.

This is so cool.

It's like our school's becoming this other-worldly epicenter

attracting hot teen Mai from all around the planet.

One, it's not an epicenter. And she isn't that hot.

Uh, yeah, not really gonna take your opinion on that one.

I saw her up close and personal.

We have chemistry together. She said hi.

There was a connection.

What?

If you're trying to make Amy jealous,

find someone that there's even a remote chance you could go out with.

That, was so mean.

You know that isn't what I meant.

I know, but for the record,

I'm not trying to make Amy jealous,

unless you're hinting that might work.

No.

And for the record, I'm never hinting anything

to you ever again-- ever.

I mean, when did you think it was a good idea

to take off your pants?

Uh, stop.

We are never to speak of any of this ever again.

Amy.

- I gotta go. - Please don't.

We're still friends.

We're all still friends.

What? What happened?

You just got an empathy hit off of him, didn't you?

What-- empathy hit?

Yeah. It's pretty good, right?

I've been working on that one for a while.

So is Jonah like some crazed axe-murderer or something?

No.

He's...

Guilty.

He just feels really guilty about something.

About possibly being a crazed axe-murderer?

Probably because he looked over here and saw you

and he's out for coffee with Amy.

It just means he's a nice regular guy.

Good to know.

I gotta go.

Talk fast. I've only got 15 minutes.

I guess I haven't worn this jacket since the first time I met you.

Or the hat, apparently.

You never really did have cold ears, did you?

So now you know my dirty little secret--

I go around town buying weird knit caps trying to meet girls.

How's that working for you?

Pretty well actually.

Well, you'll always be kitty hat to me.

Does this mean anything to you?

"1975, C.P. Kelly"?

No, sorry. Should I know who that is?

It was written on the back of a picture of my mom

that I found in my dad's desk.

Hmm. It could be anything--

The photographer, when it was taken.

I've gone through all the company directories,

every search engine I can think of.

In 1975, my mom wasn't even in high school.

What about the key?

It seems to be a key to nothing.

I know you don't want to hear this, but

I think you should just ask your dad.

Maybe he had a reason not to tell you everything.

Maybe he was just trying to protect you.

You don't know my father.

But I know you.

And the man who raised you to be such a great guy can't be all bad.

I'd say that was a fairly productive meeting...

But I need to get back.

I'll drop you.

You know,

I don't think it was a good idea to let Brian stay,

especially since the Mai have obviously figured out

you were behind the attack on the Uniter.

Having Brian here lets me keep an eye on him.

Maybe you should step back.

Let the Order handle this.

I'm not going to let them or the Mai intimidate me.

You're playing with your son's life.

Let me worry about Brian.

But there's one thing I know for sure.

The girl will be dead at the first opportunity...

Even if I have to do it myself.

Break officially over; Gotta go.

Oh, so tomorrow night--
