grown-ish

When do your dreams descend into nightmares?

Apparently, it's when the subconscious mind

is wrestling with an unresolved issue or fear.

Zoey, just don't take this the wrong way,

but can you just... fall back?

- Uh, like a job? - Yeah, a job.

Honestly, the job was never your boy's to have.

And there's nothing more terrifying

than coming face-to-face with those things in your dreams.

You okay, baby? - Uh...

Except maybe waking up and coming face-to-face

with them in reality.

No. Um...

actually, there's something I need to tell you.

Um...

And at that moment, my biggest fear

was how Luca was gonna react

when he found out I had accepted a dream job

with one of the artists he wanted to design for the most.

Okay, so...

you work for Joey Bada$$ now?

Cool.

Cool.

Cool?

He's cool.

- Wait a minute. Hold up. - Mm?

Tell me again how this happened,

but this time, can you really, really paint the picture?

He's not cool.

No. Legit, all it was, was...

So after really painting that picture for Luca,

things shifted from cool to uncomfortably warm.

So, wait. One minute you're pushing me

to talk to this dude about a job,

next minute, you're taking the job with him?

You didn't even know who Joey Bada$$ was

until I put you on.

- Sure. But it was an opportunity. - My opportunity.

And from there, things went from uncomfortably warm

to straight-up scalding.

I told you to fall back so I could get at him my way!

And that's what I did!

No, you didn't! You followed him outside

and showed him your digital portfolio!

And you don't care about anything but yourself!

- That's just a fact! It's literally a fact. - Are you...

This is absurd. You literally...

Dude, I went outside to fall back, just like you told me to,

and he just so happened to be out there,

And you just so happen to sound mad sus.

What was I supposed to do?

He said he wasn't gonna give you the job,

so I figured shouldn't one of us have it?

You told me to take it!

Remember our whole "vegan slider" conversation?

Yeah, I thought we were talking about a burger,

- not a job. -

I swear, this is some double-talking snake shit, bro.

Luca, I have your back.

I-I would never do anything to hurt you. I swear.

Whatever. I'm off this, anyways.

So, really, that's it?

You're just gonna get up and leave with no pants on?

I can't find them... probably 'cause you stole those, too.

I didn't steal anything.

Appreciate you having my back, chief.

I thought nightmares were supposed to end

when you opened your eyes.

Do you guys think I should invite Luca

to the closing ceremony of the pop-up shop tonight?

Oh, wow. It's over already?

Yeah, it's their last night before they head over to London

to open up the flagship spot, and...

- Ah. - ...and I really did want him to see it,

but we haven't spoken in over a week, so...

Over a week?

Like, no texts? No Snapchat? Nothing?

No.

What if Luca and I are broken up, and I just don't know it yet?

Oh, you would know.

Okay. I understand now why the twins talk in unison,

because that was so satisfying, and I think we should clap.

- Yeah. - Okay.

You. Would. Know.

- Ohh. - It's magic.

Are you done?

- Um, uh, yes, yes. - Mm-hmm.

- Please, go on. - Mm-hmm.

So then, I should probably invite him, right?

I just don't want it to seem like I'm rubbing it in his face.

No, if you want him there, then just be the bigger person

and invite him.

Yeah, and while you're at it, you know,

just tell him to come over here and get his crap.

Get. His. Crap.

Oh, my God. It's so empowering.

Please don't tell the twins.

- Yeah, don't do that. - Mnh-mnh.

A toast.

To getting that bulky-ass cast off.

And to having two working legs.

One of which needs to get waxed immediately.

Whatever, okay. I am just so excited

to get back on that field to train, okay?

The NCAA finals are gonna be turnt!

- Oh, girl! - Yes!

Oh, look, Doc. I can still do "the Thotiana."

- Hey! - Okay, okay.

This girl's a real lightweight.

Ms. Forster, I'm glad your leg's feeling better.

But unfortunately, I have some not-so-great news.

So, what do you think?

I think it looks like Tyler, the Creator

created a baby with Baby from "Baby Driver."

Okay, what she's trying to say

- is that we are so proud of you. - Yeah.

- - It's kind of loud in here.

I'm, like, freaking out that I'm gonna miss this phone call.

You're not waiting for a call from Hewson, are you?

No. I applied for an internship with the ACLU.

More like ACL-boo.

Yeah. Now that I'm, like, free of the shackles of this relationship,

I can finally focus on the things that are important to me.

Freedom's ringing.

Hello?

Oh, my God, look. There's Aaron.

Ugh.

Bitch-ass...

- - ...ass.

Zoey, it's fine.

Aaron and I, we had a moment at his "Black Minds Matter" event,

and we're good.

Yeah, no, I actually unblocked him,

and we spoke afterwards

and even exchanged a couple of political jabs.

- Oh, my God. That's good, right? - Yeah.

Honestly, I think I was more infatuated

with the idea of being in love than actually in love with him.

I am so happy for you.

Plus...

we all know who he's really in love with.

Yeah.

Wait, what?

Hey, Zoey, one of Joey's friends

is asking about those gold Spandex track stirrups.

I need you to show me where they are in the stock room.

Yeah.

- Zoey. - Yes.

Hello, there.

Sorry, bruh. This is actually mine.

Oh, no, no. I believe you're mistaken,

because I got here first.

Okay, so, it seems like we got us a situation.

So it seems.

Hmm.

Well, false alarm.

Turns out it was some guy

selling Harlem Globetrotter tickets.

- Mm. - I mean, I bought 'em.

Obviously, right?

But, really, these telemarketers are so annoying and stupid,

but I can't ignore it, because what if it's

the internship that's calling, you know?

Um, hey.

Have you either of you guys seen Luca come through by chance?

- Um... - No.

Did he tell you he was coming?

No.

He didn't even really respond to my text.

No, maybe it is over.

Look, you can't let Luca ruin your night, okay?

Exactly.

- You did this. - Mm-hmm.

You nailed this.

You're so right. You're so right!
