Finding Carter

Previously on "Finding Carter"...

I was helping out a friend.

She looked like a little more than a friend.

If you hadn't have been there...

- (Max) But I was. - Taylor!

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you, Taylor.

Can you please not tell Max about what happened?

Carter, work at the bar.

It means the world to me

that you're letting me keep it.

I need to know that I can trust you.

As for you and me, I give up.

You're my kryptonite.

- Olivia, can you hear me? - Hey!

- Olivia! - Is she breathing?

What did she take?

I don't know, okay!

Then what should we do?

Okay, I'm gonna splash water on her.

Ben, she's not waking up!

- Olivia, wake up! - Come on!

Wake up!

We need to get her to a hospital.

- No, we can't go to a hospital, okay? - Why?

'Cause we just can't.

What are you talking about?

Put her back down, put her back down.

Get me a towel!

Olivia.

- Olivia, wake up! - My God, what's happening?

She's not breathing.

Here.

_

Here you go.

- Thanks. - What's so funny?

Jared just sent me this hilarious...

Uh, we're just working out

our schedule for the week. He's funny.

How old is he?

Who, Jared?

I don't know, like 22?

Carter, I feel, um...

I feel like we need to have a talk.

Okay, if this is any way related to the talk,

I think we're a little late for that.

Ugh, way late.

Uh, this is a different part of the talk.

I think mixing work and pleasure is a bad idea.

Mom, we're not mixing anything.

- Except drinks. - Except drinks.

This is the thing.

Older men, they have different expectations.

About what?

About everything.

About dating, relationships, intimacy.

They might not take things as seriously as you do.

Well, I'm glad you think I take it so seriously,

but it's really not an issue.

It's just Carter, once you're out of school

and have real responsibilities in the world,

everything is different.

Well, thank you, Mom, from my future self.

I'm just trying to keep you from making a mistake

and getting your feelings hurt.

Mom, that is really not my situation.

And even if it were, you're making love sound like a...

disease that needs a vaccination.

Just be careful.

There's nothing between me and Jared.

Do you think she knew I was lying?

No, but the part about Jared being 22 is a bit farfetched.

He looks older.

I hate lying to her,

but I just don't want her in my business.

Yeah, me either.

Hey, you promise you're not gonna say anything, right?

Oh. No, not if you don't want me to.

Just please don't tell Mom.

No, I promise.

Or Max.

Tay, I really think he would want to know.

Look, I just want to forget it, okay?

I mean it.

Okay.

If that's what you want.

Okay, let's talk about something else.

Like, tonight, your first overnighter with Jared.

What are you guys gonna do?

Um... I don't know.

He's... He's got this friend playing MacDougall's later,

so maybe we'll do that.

And probably grab dinner somewhere, too.

Oh, and I think I'm finally gonna get to see his apartment.

Are you nervous?

Yeah, but, like, good nervous, you know?

Yeah, I remember that feeling.

Just, butterflies.

Every time I think about him, I start smiling.

Like an idiot.

Exactly.

So, the official story is I am with you all night

- at the house concert. - Right.

It's a bummer you're not gonna get to meet Ben's foster sister.

Ben's foster sister?

Yeah, he's bringing her tonight.

That's why I said that he could use our car.

What, did he not tell you?

No, but I guess we're not exactly BFFs right now.

What happened?

Nothing. I'll get over it.

Anyway, I am not gonna let it ruin my night with Jared.

E equals MC squared.

- You are gonna ace that test. - You better believe it.

- Hey. - Hey.

- What are you guys up to? - Just the usual.

Drinking and drugging.

No, we're going to study.

- Cool. - Yeah.

- House concert right after? - Yeah, of course.

Is that it?

Yes, that is it.

Sorry what I said before.

About the drinking and drugging.

Didn't bother me.

You don't want to talk about it?

What is there to talk about?

We reported him.

You know, when my dad died,

and everyone was asking me

how I was doing every ten seconds,

I would just get angry.

But I see now, that at the time I...

How does this relate to me?

I just don't want it to sneak up on you.

Look, I'm not in denial, if that's what you're saying.

I just want to leave it behind me,

and it would really help me if you did the same.

I'll follow your lead.

Whatever you want, I want.

Um, I don't understand.

Where does everyone sleep?

In the backyard?

People sleep everywhere.

Well, I've heard of house concerts,

but never overnight.

Okay, look, here is the information.

It's a pretty big deal we even got on the list.

- How did that happen? - Uh, Bird's boyfriend

knows a lot of people in the music industry.

Mom, come on, take the night off.

We're completely fine, it is totally safe.

I promise.

Yeah, everyone's vetted.

And the host is, like, 30, or something.

Maybe even 40.

Yeah, it's just a bunch of music geeks.

Yeah, serious ones.

But, there's only one number.

- What if I can't... - Mom, we love you.

- Can't get a hold of... - Bye.

All right, all right.

Have fun, enjoy the music.

- Geeks. - Nice one, Mom.

Yeah?

Uh, hey, it's Ben.

Oh, he's borrowing my car.

- Hey. - Oh, uh...

Sorry to bother you guys.

No, it's no bother.

I'll just get my keys.

So I'm gonna have some stuff for you to do soon.

Okay.

Thanks.

So how come you never told me

that your foster sister was here?

I didn't realize I was supposed to.

Well, you told Taylor.

Well, Taylor didn't throw me under the bus.

Ben, you told my mom

I was working in a bar and almost got me fired.

Okay.

So then we should both be sorry.

Look, why don't you, um,

let your sister use my name for the concert tonight?

I'm on the list.

Okay. Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

I owe you one.

So you guys cool?

Yeah. We're all good.

So...

you want to start from where we left off

or start again from the beginning?

Beginning.

Oh, God, this is great.

Music all night, that's so cool.

And the night is still young.

You guys hungry? Let's get something to eat.
