Faking It

Previously on Faking It...

Let's elect them Homecoming Queens!

Yeah!

Where is this girlfriend of yours?

- I'm right here, mother. - Lesbians?

Being gay is the best thing that ever happened to us.

We could have sex. Me and Liam booker.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I was into this, now I'm not.

I want my first time to be with someone who loves me,

which is why I'm gonna make him fall in love with me.

- Stop it, butt face. - Not until you sing it for me.

It's been weeks since your last track dropped.

- Give the fans what they want. - It's not ready.

Since when do you share songs with me when they're ready?

You're JT, I'm Timbaland, we workshop them till they're dope,

and then you perform them for your cats.

This one's different. It's personal.

I'm baring my soul, so I want it to be perfect.

Ooh, is it a power ballad?

Come on, give me a hint.

Nope.

But I promise you'll be the first person to hear it.

Cropped, filtered, blurred, and boom... 'grammed it.

Since we came out, I've gotten over 400 new followers.

Including a Mr. Liam Booker.

Everything's going according to plan.

How is posting a pic with me

gonna help Liam fall in love with you?

He's severely allergic to commitment.

I'm a lesbian with a girlfriend, which makes me hypoallergenic.

His defenses are down.

Now I just need to show him how perfect we'd be together.

You don't get someone to fall in love with you.

They fall in love with you because of who you are.

Yeah, well, I've been me for 15 years,

and no one's fallen for me.

- Except for you. - Very funny.

I'm just having fun, Amy.

I mean, I'm popular, I have a secret boyfriend,

I get to hold my best friend's hand in public.

It is pretty awesome.

You think so?

'Cause I worry you're not getting anything out of this.

Are you kidding?

I get to make my mom and Bruce horribly uncomfortable.

That's a gift that keeps on giving.

Maybe I need a secret boyfriend too.

They sound super fun.

What about... Josh Hoyt?

You were obsessed with him in middle school.

I was obsessed with him in middle school.

Well, now's your chance.

Okay. We'll find him at lunch.

No, I mean really, now's your chance... he's coming this way.

Hey, Josh. Where's the fire?

It's inside us. That's why we're protesting!

Right on! Let's go!

Not another protest.

Big brother has got to go!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Big brother has got to go!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Big brother has got to go! Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

What's going on?

Skwerkel wants to donate $6 million to the school.

- Sounds terrible. - It is terrible, Amy.

Skwerkel is a vile, evil... search engine.

I'm all for a good protest, kids.

I went to Berkeley.

But the school really needs this donation.

With the government cutbacks, there just isn't enough money.

So...

Last week I had to shut down the tai chi club.

Students.

The CEO of Skwerkel has personally selected Hester High

in a new nationwide educational outreach program.

You'll be changing the face of education.

We can see through your lies! She's just trying to buy us!

Trust me, no one is trying to buy you.

Though you'll each be getting new Skwerkel smartphones

and tablets.

What do you get out of this?

The satisfaction of helping a school

in desperate need of money.

Also, Skwerkel will own all data collected on these devices.

That means our photos, our emails, our text messages.

They want to make us their digital slaves.

Are we gonna let them?

Hell, no!

Time to occupy Hester.

Man your stations!

Stop Skwerkel!

What are you doing?

Liam's really into this protest,

so I'm gonna be the protestiest protester who ever protested.

- Wanna help? - No. I don't. Not at all.

Don't forget we're popular now,

so it's really important to pretend like you care.

Protests aren't really my thing.

But the school loves them. Including Josh.

It's the perfect time to see if he's secret boyfriend material.

Hey!

Down with corporate tyranny!

All right.

I didn't think we could top the absurdity

of last week's sit-in for that endangered salamander.

This is so stupid.

Well, privacy is something we should all be conce...

Not another lecture, Lisbeth.

2,776. 2,776.

Hey, Liam.

I raided the art room for some sign-making supplies.

Oh, great. Thank you.

Hey, I liked your fire back there.

Very inspirational. You're a natural leader.

Yeah, I got something for you in my back pocket.

This is too small.

That's what I'm hoping.

I'm so glad we're both so into student privacy.

Did you know that last year there were 2,77...

Look who I found.

- Soleil! You made it! - Yeah, well, you know me.

Someone yells "Protest," and I say,

"When, why, and will there be tear gas?"

It's good to see you, Liam.

Yeah. You too.

Uh, this is Karma. Another soldier

- in our war against Skwerkel. - Hi.

So, uh, how come I haven't seen you around Hester before?

Most of my classes are independent studies.

They give me course credit for the various

community outreach programs I'm involved with

as well as my work abroad with the Red Cross.

- You know how it is. - Totally.

Uh... I'm a lesbian.

Good for you.

Liam, can I steal you away for a sec?

I've got some ideas that I think

will really take this to the next level.

Of course.

And the promance continues.

- "Promance"? - Protest romance.

Every time we shut the school down,

the sexual tension between those two

just builds like Mount Vesuvius until finally...

eruption.

- "Eruption" equals sex. - Yeah, I got that.

All right. Thanks.

Okay.

Let's do it!

Wow.

Hipster culture's going back in time so fast

pretty soon they'll be wearing suits of armor.

You know, bathrooms typically provide that for you.

You don't have to carry your own.

Trust me, in a few hours,

this stuff will be more valuable than bitcoin.

So while your fellow students rise up against injustice

you exploit them for a quick buck?

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I'm Amy.

I'm Oliver.

Figured you'd be more into this kind of thing

being that you're Homecoming Queen and all.

No, this is more my girlfriend's kind of thing.

She gets involved in school activities.

I stand back and silently hate them.

Speaking of your girlfriend,

isn't that her over there, chaining herself to that door?

Will you excuse me?

Honey, whatcha doin'?

Liam's having a promance with the Soleil girl,

so I'm chaining myself to this door

because I don't want the sex volcano to erupt.

More importantly, who's that cute boy you were talking to?

Oliver. We just met, but so far

I don't want to poke his eyes out with scissors.

Seriously? That's huge.

I know. I don't want to jump the gun,

but he could be secret boyfriend material.

Speaking of, here's Liam.

- Lock me down. - Karma.

If Skwerkel wants this school,

they're gonna have to come through me to get it.

I love the dedication, it's just...

you're blocking the door.

Soleil's here with donated food from a vegan bakery downtown.

- Great. - Thanks.

- What you got in the box? - Muffins.

Ooh. Sounds good.

Yeah, they're really warm and moist.

- Hey! - Attention, Hester High!

If we want to make a difference,

we have to show the world we're serious.

We have to get all Gandhi up in this bitch.

We need a hunger strike!

Yeah!

Hunger strike!

Hunger strike! Hunger strike!

Hunger strike! Hunger strike! Hunger strike!
