Raven's Home

All right, folks. Who's ready to turn up for Fry -day?

I know it's Monday, but my grandpa owns the place,

and they're free.

Sup, fresh kicks? I see you, pink shirt. Love the new fade, bruh.

You don't know any of their names, huh?

Yes, I do. That's Natalie, Jada, and Brian.

Not even close.

It's pretty incredible.

You've only been at school for a month, and everybody loves you.

It's because I'm the new kid.

I'm exciting. I'm mysterious. I'm...

Hey, new kid.

...seriously into her.

Man, what is it? Why do I like Cami so much?

I don't know. She's mean. She used you. She got you in trouble.

Yeah, that's it. That's why.

You are so broken.

You deserve better. You have so many good qualities.

I mean...

- -

...and that's why we like you.

That's great. Gotta go!

No!

Wow. Hey, thanks, new kid.

New kid! New kid! New kid! New...

Do you hear that? They're chanting my name!

-They're chanting "new kid." -Close enough.

Yep, that's us.

Ah. See, Tasha?

I've attached this high-torque electric motor to this stool.

The chairs can push themselves in.

- -

What's that, Tasha?

I can also use it to prank Booker?

Ooh, girl, you're bad.

Hey, what you doin'?

A project for my advanced robotics class.

What's that?

Well, ever since my breakthrough at the retreat, I've--

Eh, Pop-Pop said it was a breakdown.

Oh, did he?

Well, he also said that his baldness is a choice,

and that's not true.

Anyhoo, like I was saying, after my breakthrough,

I started thinking about what I wanted to do with my life

besides just taking care of y'all,

and, uh, I decided to make a vision board filled with my hopes and dreams.

Auntie Rae, it's empty.

Yeah, I'm still working on the hopes and dreams part.

Well, what do you love to do?

Well, I love fashion, I love art, I love being creative,

but when I look at this board I just-- I feel lost.

I feel ya.

First, I wanted to be a doctor. Next, I wanted to be a dragon.

Then, it came to me.

I can be a doctor who breathes fire. Boom.

Hey. What are you doing home so early?

Ever since the art teacher got arrested, there's no class, so we get out early.

That was two weeks ago. What you been doin' every day?

Giving away fries at the Chill Grill.

This is unacceptable.

-I know, Mom. I should've checked first. -No, no, I'm talking about class.

Art is crucial.

I mean, if it wasn't for the arts, I wouldn't be who I am today.

And who is that?

I'm workin' on it.

You know what?

I'm gonna go down to your school tomorrow and talk to that "Principal" Rivera

and tell her that she needs to hire an art teacher immediately

or I'm gonna take it up with the school board.

You go, Mama!

Can't believe she forgot about the free fries.

Don't think I forgot about them fries.

She never forgets.

Hey, why do you have tools?

Just want to see if something works.

- -

- -

Yep, it works.

Check out this flirty text Cami sent last night.

She's asking about the science homework.

It's not just science. It's chemistry. And we got it.

You know what? I think I'm gonna finally ask her out today.

How's this?

Hey, girl. How about you and me become we?

That is so cringe.

'Kay, um, what if I played a slow jam behind it?

Ooh. Ooh.

What if you didn't?

Look, Cami doesn't even call you by your name. She calls you "new kid."

Um, it's a term of endearment. Everyone loves the new kid.

Hey, yo, hey, yo! New kid in the house.

What are they looking at? Is it a box of kittens over there?

I am proper buzzing to be in San Francisco.

I already nicked a cheeky ride on the trolley.

It's no tube, but it's fun, innit?

He means that he's enjoying SF,

and he's already taken a ride on the cable cars.

It's not as good as the subway, but it's still fun.

My mom used to date James Corden.

Uh, who's that guy?

Oh, that's Liam.

And he's not a guy. [in Cockney accent] He's a bloke.

-Isn't his accent cool? -I didn't notice it.

Cami has.

"You should never surrender your crown."

Or, that is what Queen Elizabeth told me over tea at Buckingham Palace.

You've met the queen?

A few times.

And mates, let me tell you, that woman is chatty.

Look at him over there trying to impress people with stories of his hometown.

- -Yeah.

'Cause we don't know anyone like that.

Hey, don't worry, Booker. She's not listening to a word he's saying.

- -She's too busy getting lost in his eyes.

You have to sit with us at lunch, new kid.

Oh! Excuse us, Booker.

Did you hear that?

She always called me "new kid." She just called me "Booker."

Well, as long as she doesn't call you "Neil," because that would be confusing.

Oh, oh, okay, Bayside!

You better go ahead and get your glow up, girl.

Oh, my goodness. My old locker.

I wonder if the combination is the same.

Now, that is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Raven Baxter. Breaking into high school lockers. I knew it would come to this.

No. No, Alana, I'm not breaking into high school lockers, okay?

I am here to complain as an adult.

I wish you were breaking into lockers.

My son told me that you canceled art class. You can't do that.

The arts help kids express themselves.

I totally agree.

And when I find a teacher who's willing to take the position,

and the low pay and the terrible hours,

I will hire them.

Well, good. Make it fast, all right? Art is crucial.

Also, my son is gonna bankrupt the family by giving away free fries. So...

This sounds like it's really important to you.

-Yeah, it is. -Great.

-Looks like I found my new substitute. -I'm sorry, what? Me? What?

Weren't you the one who just came down here saying how important the arts are?

Yeah, that was me, but...

Great! You're hired. Here's the lesson plan.

-But I-- -Unless you can't handle it.

Huh? No! I can handle it. I can handle it. I used to run this school.

All you did was run your mouth.

-All you did was-- -

Remember, I'm your boss.

How you-- How you know I wasn't gonna say nothing nice, Alana? How-- How you know?

Who am I kidding? I wasn't gonna say nothing nice.

Look at those two.

Cami used to laugh with me like that.

I remember her laughing at you.

It was like being belittled by an angel.

Appreciate you.

What's that?

These are the spiciest wings known to man.

Ooh, where are they from?

From the Spiciest Wings Known to Man Shack.

Now, I'm gonna offer some to Liam,

and while his mouth is on fire, I'ma swoop in and ask Cami out.

Uh, Booker, are you sure--

Nah. No, no, no. Let him go.

This is gonna be good.

What's up? What y'all, uh, what y'all over here doing?

Uh, it's a cafeteria, so we're eating.

Eating. That's what's up.

How's it going, mate?

Great, Liam! You know what?

I wanna share some of our amazing American cuisine with you.

Classic American buffalo wings.

Well, that is proper nice of you.

- -Mmm. Mm-hmm.

It's brilliant.

Oh, do they make spicy ones?

Do they make spicy ones?

They give me the wrong wings?

No, those are the right wings!

So, what do you do for fun on the weekends?

Take me out on a Saturday and I'll show you.

Huh?

So, are you happy with how that turned out, hot stuff?

Nope. At least this day can't get any worse.

Good afternoon, class. I'm your new art teacher, Ms. Baxter.

Hey, baby!

I was wrong. This is worse.

Oh, no, no. I'm enjoying it.

-Hey, girl. -Hey.

All right.
