A Great Divide

Honey, when you told me Alyse bought a nice house out here,

I didn't know you meant this.

I'm pretty sure our old place can fit inside this living room.

Right?

This isn't a house,, this is a wooden castle.

-Hey, Alyse. -Hey, Isaac.

Just checking that you guys made it there safe and sound.

-Yeah, we're here. -How's the house?

Oh, my God, this is incredible.

Just lending us the car, this house.

You are far too generous, noona.

Oh, please. I'm like six months older than you.

Do not call me "noona."

Sorry.

Are you really sure you want us to stay here?

I mean, we could always go to a hotel.

No, no, enjoy it.

By the way, I ordered you

a "Welcome to Wyoming" floral arrangement.

It's already on my card, so don't even worry about it.

And I'm just so glad that we could bring you on board.

You know you're my number one guy.

Wow, um... I don't know what to say.

I just, um...

To be honest, we really needed a change.

Out here, maybe Benjamin

can have the time and space to process.

Well, it's great.

And we're going to do everything we can

to get him into Riverton High.

Well, if he even finishes his application.

He's still working on his essay.

But I mean, everything's...

My name is Benjamin Lee.

I'm 15 years old from California.

I'm interested in debate and chess.

No.

My name is Benjamin Lee.

I'm Korean.

My grandma immigrated from Korea to the United States

when my mom was just a baby.

It's just an essay I have to write to get into my new school.

They want to see if we're a good fit,

which we're probably not.

Love you, Halmoni.

Now, tradition is so important to us here at Riverton High.

So now the honor code will be something

that's important for you to remember.

Oh, honor, um, it might mean something different

where you come from at your old school.

Did you have an honor code there?

-Oh! -Hey, Ms. Jackson.

Here are the leftover shirts from the ski team fundraiser.

Thank you. Oh, before you leave, Hunter,

say hello to Benjamin first.

This is Benjamin.

He's thinking about joining us this year.

Hey, Benjamin First.

Speaking of future Olympians, that's Hunter.

He'll be in your same grade. Yeah.

He actually placed in junior nationals.

Slalom and giant slalom.

We have high hopes, right?

I'm sorry.

Ellie landed.

Okay. So in here, I have your schedule

along with the honor code.

And a little bit more about our tuition and our fees.

But my guess is since you live up on the crest,

you're not going to need to pay attention to any of that.

Oh, and like I told you on the phone,

we have all of our applicants send us

that supplemental essay on your family.

So the sooner he can get that turned in,

the sooner we can start your evaluation.

Of course.

It's been such a pleasure getting to know you both.

Oh, Ellie would love that shirt.

Yeah? It's $15.

Oh, um, I think I have a 20 in here somewhere.

You know what? Consider it a gift.

Well...

Thank you, Ms. Jackson. Go Otters!

Go Otters!

Ah, okay.

...maybe asked to move and unattended vehicles

can be ticketed or towed.

You should talk to your dad about your essay.

I'm sure he has some stories to share.

-You know, once he gets started. -Oh, I'm okay.

Grandma gave me this box of photos.

It's full of stories.

Benj, honey.

Oh, oh! There she is.

Hey. Benj!

Hey, hi.

-Oh, let's get a selfie. -Oh, okay.

So nice to see you again, Ellie.

Oh, another one for your collection.

Oh, I love it.

Besties together again.

Do you remember it?

-I don't know. -Come on.

Okay, go slow, go slow.

I'm sorry, wrong foot.

Okay, we have to get it before I leave.

-Okay. -Promise?

-Yeah. -Okay!

It's nice that your parents let you fly alone, Ellie.

Yeah. When I was 11, they put me on a plane to Berlin

to go visit my grandmother.

Your parents are the coolest.

Well, they're a lot more open-minded in Europe.

My roommate in college was from France

and her family used to send her bottles of wine.

You know, in Korea, you can't even kiss in public.

Okay, Mom.

Wow!

I love this fireplace.

$575.

$75 for delivery?

Oh, I could show you to your room.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Why'd you even accept the delivery?

You could have just said it was the wrong house.

Jenna, let's not make it a big deal.

"Nobody's home." How hard is it to say that?

Okay, Jenna. We're new in town.

We're not supposed to make waves.

Go Otters, remember?

The Otters can kiss my ass.

Well, we've always talked about the importance of honesty.

Yeah, when you're talking to me!

So, how have you liked Wyoming so far?

Uh, well, the airport and this house are super nice.

Sorry, it's my mom.

This is your room.

-Go Otters? -What?

You don't like angry otters?

No.

I mean, "We don't want to make waves?"

"We're new in town?"

Benj, I thought you were only here for the summer.

Yeah, it might be a little bit longer than that.

What? Wait, why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know how to tell anyone.

You could have told me.

Especially you.

Anyways. So...

what do people do here in Wyoming?

Hike, bike.

There's a lot of bison and moose out here.

Wait, really?

I've never seen moose or bison. Show me.

Oh, I have to go do my essay.

You can work on that later.

And...

My dad insisted I need boots, so I brought these.

Come on!

All right.

Hope my boots don't get dirty.

You know Karri and Janet are dating?

Wait, really?

Yeah. I saw them kissing.

-For real? -For real.

Do you ever kiss another boy?

Would you?

Ha-- have you?

A girl or a boy?

Either?

I kissed Arnold Chen.

I mean, he wanted me to.

But I wouldn't date him.

Why not?

- Benj? - What are you doing out here?

Who's asking and why should we answer?

Oh, that's Hunter.

He... might be a classmate.

What, your big fancy house

not got enough land on it already?

Oh, it's not our house.

And...

you don't own the woods

or whatever it is you're trying to catch.

They all think it's funny until you get bit by a rattler.

Got one already out by Lake Nadine.

You're catching snakes?

Wait, I want to see one.

If the first video I post is a snake,

Karri will totally freak out.

You caught a snake?

Yeah, caught a bunch.

But this area ain't safe.

Why don't you just leave the woods to us?

We belong here.

Okay. You know what?

It was very not nice to meet you, Hunter.

Come on, Benj, let's go.

Come on, you promised me a bison.

Yeah, okay.
