Bad Tutor

It's beautiful up here, isn't it?

I love this.

It makes me realize how lucky I am.

Stop.

Devin, I...

Alexis Ann Chambers...

I loved you from the first moment that I saw you.

Devin, please...

Will you marry me?

I...

I don't know what to say.

Yes, this is where you say yes.

Devin, I'm not ready to get married.

Or even engaged.

I'm sorry.

But we love each other.

I'm going off to college...

Okay well if it's the distance, I'll go with you.

I'll work whatever job.

I'll make coffee, I'll scrub toilets.

We need to be together.

I think we need to live our own lives for awhile.

This doesn't mean it ends forever, okay?

I don't believe this.

I think this will be good for me.

For us.

This is a mistake.

Devin, you know how much I care about you.

You're going to be okay.

Obviously I had my pick of offers

from all over the country.

Obviously.

That's what happens when you navigate the launch

of a successful IPO.

But you know what?

I took the one that was closest to my family.

Because family is everything.

It's only a two hour flight to Seattle so,

you know, I'm chillin' with the sis and her kids

and the 'rents, as the kids say these days.

The kids actually don't say that.

Well...

now what about you?

It's almost like I'm doing all the talking here.

Oh!

Well you are, but that's okay.

Hey Mom!

Hey sweetheart!

Sorry I followed you guys, but I couldn't help it!

I just wanted to meet my new dad!

New dad?

She's so excited about you.

Mom says you're the one!

Oh, really?

Sweetheart, that was supposed to be between us!

Our little secret.

Oh, that's my office.

You know, why don't you two...

Yeah, you should go.

Bye dad!

I'm gonna miss him!

That was a nice performance, I thought you were just

gonna say you needed a ride to band practice.

He looked like an a-hole, so I wanted to scare him off.

You know, there are sites for widows to meet widowers.

Eww, that's...

I don't know.

Eww?

Yeah.

Oh, sorry.

Let me just check this in case it's work.

Wait, it's actually your school.

Midterm grades are out.

Wait, is there anything you want to tell me

before I look at this?

Just that you should love me no matter what,

because I am your only child.

Uh-oh.

Oh my god!

Why do you still have a D?

You still have a D?

You said you were gonna bring that up.

Look that was the plan, okay?

It's just chemistry, it's not a big deal.

It is a big deal.

It's gonna affect your final grade

and your ability to get into a good college.

Okay well if I don't then I'll get a job

and I'll work on my music.

Okay, so that was plan B.

Plan A, remember, is that you are going

to bring this grade up, sweetheart please.

So that you can have the most options

to get into the best college, okay?

Fine, agreed!

Really?

Yeah.

Oh.

Great, because I hired a tutor!

What? Mother!

It's gonna be great!

Mrs. Fielding said that this amazing woman,

Karina Ayers, she's a retired teacher,

is the best tutor ever!

Come on, it's not that bad.

She sounds really nice and she said that

she can see you Tuesday morning before school.

You set that before you even knew my grade!

Yeah, it's my Plan B.

I can't believe you did this!

Very sneaky.

Okay, I will agree to this without a fight,

if you do something for me.

Okay, what?

Sign up for online dating.

All right, I'll do it.

Great!

I'm going to set up your profile as soon as we get home!

I didn't mean I would really do it, hold on!

You gonna be home for dinner?

Nope, gotta go to band practice.

Get something besides pizza, okay?

Okay.

Okay tutor, where do you live?

Oh, I know where that is.

C'mon, focus!

We are behind, the night crew didn't get through

all the Kelvin panels and we need these ASAP.

Sure, sorry.

Just go, okay? Go...

Please!

There you are.

We just got a requisition for the Winslow panels

to be turned around A-sap.

What were you doing back here?

I was just organizing some lab equipment!

Do you wanna check my work?

I'll check it later.

Okay.

Oh, I was wanted to take a personal day tomorrow.

Do you know of anyone looking to cover a shift at all?

Oh please, let me just stop everything I'm doing

and make some calls.

Thank you.

Eww, oh my god...

I think Ms. Ayers is here!

Hi, Ms. Ayers?

That would be me, or is it I?

I am me... I never could keep those two straight.

But I'm here for Chemistry, not English, right?

Yeah, are you okay?

I guess I'm still waking up.

I should've had another cup of coffee.

I'm sorry.

Were you saying something?

I wasn't.

Well, somebody was talking...

weren't they?

Nice job, Mom.

Top notch, I can really feel that A.

Do me a favor and go inside right now, okay?

Get your stuff together.

Hi, I really appreciate you coming by today,

we actually decided to go with someone else.

You have?

Yeah.

I don't know, maybe you don't want to drive anymore today.

Should I call someone for you?

I just think I'm gonna take a walk.

It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.

Armstrong Dental, how may I help you?

Hi, good morning.

I was hoping to make an appointment later today?

Is this an emergency?

Does it have to be?

Well if it's just for a cleaning,

she's booked for about two months.

Oh yeah, well this is definitely an emergency.

Okay, what's wrong?

Um... you know I...

I cracked my tooth and I'm in tremendous pain.

Okay, can you be here before noon?

Absolutely.

My name is Devin Fletch, by the way.

Devin Fletch? Okay, got it.

Okay, we will see you then.

Thanks, bye.

Is it still feeling a little weird?

It'll take about an hour for the novocaine to wear off.

I appreciate you seeing me so early.

Yeah, I'm glad it worked out.

So just be careful with biting down on anything.

Yeah, I'll never trust the word "seedless" ever again.

What's that, Mulford Labs?

We do chemical testing and analysis.

My daughter's actually struggling

in her Chem class right now.

Do you have any tips?

Yeah, I always tell my students they should...

Oh, you have students?
