Ginny and Georgia (2021) s03e04 Episode Script
The Bitch Is Back
1
I'm not a bad person.
I know bad. I've seen bad close-up.
I know what it's like to run, to hide,
to be chased by people who wanna hurt you.
And I know what it's like to be hurt.
Those people who hurt me,
they didn't seem bad.
They knew the secret.
It's all about perception.
If you control perception,
you control reality.
And that's power.
That's how you get away with murder.
-Hi, Gram!
-Hi!
Okay, what is all of this?
Oh, um, Mom said
we needed to let off some steam.
-You look nice.
-Thank you.
I had to drag your dad
to church today before I leave.
He brought Simone.
-He did?
-Yes.
And how was your dance last night?
I have been dying to hear about it.
-You're blushing.
-No.
Something happened.
-Are you glad you went?
-Yes, I am.
I made some brunch for your dad.
I want you to go over there
and help him eat it.
And I bought you a present.
Oh.
-This. Oh.
-Yes!
-It looks good on you.
-Yeah.
Well, look at you!
Hey. Come here.
You know, you look a little hot.
Oh no.
You coming from church?
I put your name on the prayer list.
Oh, that's nice.
I wish you could've come.
Community is important
in a time of crisis.
Yeah.
Well, unless community wants
to come to my front lawn…
Ginny had fun at her dance last night.
Listen, if you ever need me,
I'm a phone call away.
Thank you. I mean it.
Oh.
Let's go.
I love you.
Oh…
Paul.
Headed to the town council meetin'?
Yeah.
Josh is coming over. He got the discovery,
so now we'll know what they have on me.
That'll be interesting.
Did you know he wasn't in his room?
Don't look at me.
I'm just eating my frittata.
I thought he got a ride back with you
last night since I cleaned up.
Yes. He told me to tell you
he crashed at Silver's.
Sorry. My bad.
Maybe that means he had fun.
What's that smile for?
How much food does Gram think we eat?
I'm sad she left.
Yeah, me too.
Mm-hmm.
So have you been meditating
like I taught you?
Dad, I don't think meditation's
gonna help with this one.
-Hmm.
-I mean, when can I just…
-What?
-…be.
Not feel like everything is falling apart.
Will that ever happen?
It will.
But you know I'm here for you, right?
-What?
-What was that texting smile about?
"What was
that texting smile about?"
None of your business.
Hmm? None of my business? Really?
Marcus kissed me at the dance last night.
Oh.
Okay.
How do we feel?
I still love him.
-What about you?
-I don't really know him like that.
-Simone, Dad. I'm talking about Simone.
-Oh, Simone.
"Oh, Simone!"
-Simone. Yeah.
-"Simone. Yeah."
Totally. I knew
you were gonna say that. I just…
Do you love her?
Uh…
"Uh…"
-I mean…
-You do.
I-- I lo--
Wow, okay.
I like her.
Good.
So, Marcus.
What's next?
I don't know.
I haven't talked to him.
He kind of just disappeared after.
Mom said Marcus and I
couldn't just be friends.
I hate it when she's right.
She's smart, your mom.
There's not much she doesn't understand.
I feel like an idiot.
I don't understand any of this.
Well, I'm feeling very confident
after looking at this.
It's… it's criminal you were arrested
in the first place.
-That's what I think.
-Yeah. Look.
Cause of death, suffocation.
That lines up with what you said.
Why'd they even do an autopsy?
He was sick. He was dying anyway.
Well, Cynthia requested it.
Huh? But she knew he was dying.
-What is that?
-A witness list.
This man is a witness?
-He must've gotten to her.
-Who?
Gabriel Cordova. Tell me about him.
He's a PI.
My late husband's ex-wife hired him
because Kenny left all his money to me.
Which, I won that claim, by the way.
But this guy, he's unhinged.
He's been pulling up
all this stuff about my past.
He's obsessed with me.
He hates me, and she kinda hates me,
and this is all making a lot more sense.
Okay, well,
any prior bad acts are irrelevant.
This trial is about Thomas Fuller
dying of suffocation.
That's it.
And based on this,
I would say that their case is thin.
And I still think this could be
a political move against Paul.
So there's plenty
of reasonable doubt for the jury.
Which we need to talk about.
Jury selection.
How do we do that? Who do we want?
Well, nobody who loves police,
nobody too religious,
no mail carriers, 'cause they're hopeless.
Look, don't worry about it. Okay?
I know what to look for. Just trust me.
All I really need you to do
is pick out an outfit for court.
Oh, that I'll be good at.
Yeah, but nothing too eye-catching.
You want boring, wholesome, modest.
Okay?
Yeah?
Oh hey.
Um, wild question for ya.
Where did you sleep last night?
Oh, I just crashed.
In… a ditch? In a hotel in Vermont?
Okay, well, the story I went with
is that you were at Silver's.
Thanks.
I didn't see you last night.
-Did you have fun?
-Yeah.
Yeah, Silver and I did too.
Mmm.
Do I need to be worried about you?
That's not very convincing.
We need more dog waste stations.
They're too far apart. People get lazy
and leave their bags on the street.
The poop is getting out of control.
Where are we supposed to put the poop?
-What are you watching?
-City council meetin'.
They haven't gotten to big business,
but this man is wildly concerned
about poop.
-Frankly, who isn't?
-Mmm.
-Moving on.
-Oh, look, there's Paul.
Excellent. Thank you, Mayor Randolph.
That's him. That's the guy going
against Paul. Boo!
I would like to introduce Prop 38,
motion to eliminate
the formula business restrictions.
By not allowing chain stores,
Wellsbury is doing itself a disservice.
This would bring more money…
How much money does one town even need?
You can never have enough money.
And I know I'm not alone
in not wanting to drive 15 minutes
to get to the Starbucks.
I want a Starbucks.
Well, I am a big believer that
an incredible part of Wellsbury's charm
is our strong core
of small, independent businesses.
But yes, let's open it up
to the floor. Anyone?
Wait, is that…?
Okay. So… Oh.
You guys know me.
I'm Joe Singh. I own Blue Farm,
the place you go
since you can't go to Starbucks.
-I think Joe's been avoiding me.
-Probably.
I believe in farm-to-table
and in local vendors,
and that's what we would be losing.
I wonder what Joe's farm is like.
Don't pave paradise
and put up a McDonald's.
-Ah, McDonald's.
-That was very well said.
-I agree. Wellsbury is a one-of-a-kind--
-Uh--
Mr. Mayor, with, uh, with all you have
going on in your personal life,
Wellsbury might not want you
calling the shots right now.
So let's let the people decide.
Let's put Prop 38 on the ballot.
After all…
Things fall apart without me.
…every resident's voice is valuable…
So…
…the dance.
What about it?
Did Marcus go?
Yeah.
Well, you failed to mention that.
Didn't I? Thought I…
Okay, fine, we kissed.
That is so weird because I thought
you guys were just friends.
Do friends kiss?
-Fine, you were right.
-You getting back together?
Be careful.
I know.
You both got a lot going on.
You need some space.
I thought you hated space.
Yeah. From me.
I went into the room,
and there he was, dead.
It was an accident.
Mm-mm.
It was an accident.
A horrible accident.
Hey. How you feelin'?
Well, people don't want me
making their decisions,
so the town will be
voting on it.
-Shit!
-Hey.
It's okay.
Oh, hey, Peach.
Be honest with me.
Do you actually have
a lot of friends at school?
These two girls, they asked if I was poor
because of my clothes.
You were right, what you said.
I haven't been handling things well.
And I know you've always been closer
with your dad,
and now you're stuck with just me.
But this is our new reality,
and we have to deal with it.
No more skipping school
to smoke weed, Abigail.
You've gotta get your grades up.
I signed you up for peer tutoring.
What? Oh my God, Mom.
I haven't been setting a good example.
But we have to do better.
Both of us.
Deal?
So, like, are they a couple now,
or what's going on?
Yeah, I really don't care.
Ew.
You guys hear what happened
to Gitten's classroom?
Someone vandalized it
during Tulips and Tuxes.
All the desks are turned over.
There's Sharpie on the walls.
Gitten's desk is upside down.
There are papers everywhere.
Someone totally destroyed it.
It's a mess.
They just cancelled A block.
Sucks to suck.
Do they know who did it?
I mean, there's a cop here.
They're taking it all serious and shit.
Who do you think could've done it?
There's so many people who hate him.
It wasn't me.
I knew that.
And my mom's on house arrest, so not her.
Whoa, that's crazy.
Are we gonna discuss that?
Yo.
Did you hear about the vandalism?
Apparently, somebody wrecked
the AP English classroom during the dance.
What happened after I left you in there?
Ginny? They wanna see you
in the main office.
Hi, Ginny. Please take a seat.
I didn't touch his classroom.
No one said anything about that.
I told you.
Everyone knows about it.
Ginny, you're not in trouble.
We just wanted to talk to you.
She has a history of being disruptive.
What did he tell you?
Did he tell you why I dropped his class
even though I was getting straight A's?
I did it.
It was me.
I'm sorry. It was dumb.
Do what you gotta do.
Ginny, you can return to class.
Marcus, we take vandalism very seriously.
I'm sure you do.
What's your next move?
I am losing it, Nick.
If what you said is true…
She might've killed her last two husbands,
and you're worried
you might be her next victim?
Sorry. What does the lawyer think?
That she'll get off.
Okay.
So then laying low
may not be the worst move.
-Yeah.
-We let the trial play out.
And then…
It's her.
-Oh.
-No, stay.
Hello, Georgia. Nick is here too.
Oh. Hi, Nick. Long time.
Anything new going on with you?
I watched
the town council meeting. Yikes.
Don't worry though, I have an idea.
Georgia, we talked about this.
I know, but I see
how stressed you are, and I wanna help.
So I was thinking,
David Mann is trying to get Wellsbury
to let in big business.
Let's counterattack.
Celebrate the small businesses
that make the town special.
We make it a block party.
Each house can host a different business.
We can call it Lawnfest.
-I take it you're participating?
-Of course.
Of course, because this is about you
saving face with the town.
Why not kill two birds
with one stone?
Killing things doesn't seem
to overly concern you.
Nick.
I get
you don't want me involved,
but you have to see
this is good for Paul too.
It shows that we have nothin' to hide.
We're productive leaders of this town.
It brings the community to our front lawn.
A public united front is smart.
She's right, isn't she?
And I hate it so much.
-I sort of love that he did that.
-I don't.
Gitten's ass. He deserved it.
I mean, he did vandalism for you.
I don't know. Do you guys think this was
some sort of misguided romantic gesture
to get us back together?
-What?
-Nothing.
If he wanted to be with you,
he would be with you.
Okay, so who else is on the roster?
This guy from my poetry class
asked me out.
Oh, I like the sound of him.
Bracia, I only said
"boy in my poetry class."
Yeah.
Okay, what is going on
with you and Bryon though?
What do you mean? We're… we're good.
-Bryon is such a green flag.
-Mmm.
You know we can also be single?
Just, like, work on ourselves
and our futures.
This bitch.
Yeah, and we can own our futures
by learning new skills.
Something like that. Oh my--
For what?
So, Bracia, is your brother single yet?
Ew. Jackie. No.
Her brother goes to Oak Hill Prep.
He's gifted, and he has a six-pack.
Please, stop.
-No, don't stop.
-He's gorgeous.
Okay, if we're gonna talk
about family members,
Ginny, I'm sorry, your dad.
Your dad.
-Ooh.
-No, we have to talk about it. No.
He is a beautiful man.
-He came in on a motorcycle once.
-I get lost in his eyes.
-His shoulders are set.
-Ooh! Girl.
-That's a fine specimen.
-You guys are still going?
La, la, la, la, la.
-Um, hey.
-Uh, Tris.
Yeah, I remember. Are you my tutor?
-Mm-hmm.
-Cool.
Uh, what do you need help in?
Um, D, all of the above.
Okay.
Uh, you wanna start with math,
English, science…
I'm kinda just really bad at school.
-I'm dumb.
-Oh, I doubt that.
I don't know.
You'll see.
God, can't you just teach me
how to, like, skateboard or something?
You're into skateboarding?
Sure, yeah.
Okay.
Let's start with math though.
See where we end up.
Come on.
So, excited to be my love interest?
-Our chemistry must be pretty good.
-Yeah, it must be.
Guys, I love this.
I feel like I'm part of it.
You're not.
Sorry.
-Hey, Max.
-Hi.
Are you okay?
Oh yeah.
-I don't care that we're love interests.
-Mmm.
It just doesn't affect me.
You know,
Wellsbury just has to be so progressive
and gender-bend those roles,
but it's fine.
No, no, I meant your brother.
He's suspended.
What?
Hey.
Respectfully, what the hell?
I'm sorry.
I expect this vindictive outlaw shit
from my mom, but not from you.
-And now I'm being called to the office?
-I know. It's stupid.
I just… I need the people I love
to stop doing illegal shit.
What happened?
I'm suspended.
-I'm out for a month.
-A month?
Yeah, they take vandalism
very seriously, remember?
What did your parents say?
My mom cried.
That sucked.
And Dad's pissed.
Shit, I'm sorry.
-What's wrong?
-I don't wanna make things complicated.
Ha.
We're friends, right?
But you kissed me.
I don't understand.
You… you keep sending me mixed signals,
and it's not fair.
I hate not knowing where we stand.
And I know you're struggling.
So am I.
But I love you, and I know you love me,
so I don't get why we can't be together.
-I'm sorry.
-Stop saying that.
You're breaking my heart again.
I can't be with you.
-That's where we stand.
-But why?
I don't love you anymore.
-I care about you a lot.
-What are you doing?
You're trying to push me away?
I am so serious, Marcus.
Do not say that to me unless it's true.
I don't love you.
How much did you hear?
"I don't understand."
"I will not clarify."
"We kissed,
and I love you."
"I'm destined for sadness.
Best friends forever?"
Dude, what is wrong with you?
Mom and Dad didn't need you
going all demolition.
-Why did you do that?
-I don't know.
Okay? I… I don't remember doing it.
I don't remember trashing a classroom.
It's not something I wanna have done.
And I don't remember kissing Ginny.
I didn't know I kissed her
until she told me just now.
I didn't wanna go to that dance.
I told everyone I didn't wanna go,
but Mom was sad
and Ginny wanted me there, so I went.
And I shouldn't have. I knew I shouldn't.
I am trying… so hard
not to feel this way anymore.
I don't think you understand.
And I… And I got there, and it was…
loud.
I got drunk…
…'cause I'm a piece of shit.
And that's why, even though
I love that girl so much it hurts,
I can't be with her.
'Cause I can barely be with myself.
-Marcus--
-No, please.
I'm sorry I made you go.
You didn't.
It's not your fault.
It's not her fault. It's me.
I'm the problem.
I don't think you're a problem.
And Ginny doesn't think so either.
She's right.
I am sending mixed signals and…
I can't do more than that right now.
And… and she shouldn't
have to go through that, so…
Max, please don't tell her anything.
Okay.
You wanna watch a movie?
I promise I won't talk through it.
Yeah? Okay.
And then I start to drown ♪
It feels like
Everybody learned how to swim ♪
And I somehow missed the lesson ♪
Where we learned we are fish ♪
Just get over it ♪
Just get over it ♪
Just get over it ♪
Just get over ♪
Get over, just get it ♪
Just get over it ♪
So I started reaching out
to the Neighborhood Club girls
about Lawnfest.
They think it's a great idea.
Once they got over asking me
about my ankle monitor,
they were very excited to get into it.
Ginny, could you ask your friends
to paint faces?
Like you did at Winterfest and Fallfest?
We have so many fests.
Mom, please don't make me
invite my friends here.
We have nothing to hide, right?
We're in this together.
Ride or die.
Where are we riding,
and why do we have to die?
Bye, bud. Have a good day.
Ginny.
Bye.
Bye.
Is he good?
I think work is stressing him out.
Which is why Lawnfest is so important.
-Please ask your friends.
-Fine.
Speaking of friends,
Ellen told me
Marcus got suspended for vandalism?
What's vandalism?
When you trash a classroom
so that you don't have to go to school.
Ellen didn't specify,
but I'm guessing
it was a certain English classroom.
Uh-huh.
There's nothing going on with us, Mom.
Oh, I know. Just friends.
No, we're not anything.
He told me
he doesn't love me anymore, so…
He said that?
Oh, Peach, come here.
I know things have been shit,
but it's gonna get better soon, I promise.
Okay?
Yeah, that would be nice.
Oh, honey.
Pick one
and present it to the class.
Austin!
What are you…?
Oh my God.
He's crazy.
I know there's a lot going on
with your family at the moment,
but I really need to be speaking
with an adult or a legal guardian.
I'm here. Hi, uh, I'm Austin's dad.
Got a call about an incident?
Yes. Um, Austin drew on the wall,
he pushed over a chair,
and he broke my globe.
And, most concerning,
he dumped coffee on another student.
It was lukewarm.
I know
he has a lot going on.
Is he talking to anyone? A therapist?
I'd like him to be, yeah.
What happened to you?
I got a construction job in Bedford.
I'm… trying, bud.
This isn't his first incident.
Typically, he'd be suspended,
but we're sensitive
to what's happening at home,
so we're gonna give him one last warning.
Austin, I know that Mom
has a certain way of handling things,
but we don't have to be like her.
I'd rather be like her than my dad.
Okay.
You okay?
Also, Hunter?
Miss Ma'am.
-Should I have told you?
-Dude, it's none of my business.
I'm just glad you're happy.
Thank you. I am.
He's very sweet,
and we're writing a song together.
And, I don't know,
he just, like, communicates.
And I know where I stand with him.
You know?
Hi, Ginny.
Do you have any idea how Blue Farm
got paired up with the Miller House
for this Lawnfest thing?
You can only hide
from Georgia Miller for so long, Joe.
Yeah.
Okay.
My poker face can't hide no more… ♪
Honestly iconic of Maxine for writing
"Congrats, you vicious bitch"
on your Bat Mitzvah board.
Ridiculous.
Are you gonna go?
Yeah, probably.
I feel so weird being around Ginny's mom.
Seriously? That's kind of dramatic.
More dramatic than murder?
Fair.
Well, I hate this.
-Who are you talking to?
-Myself.
Oh good, you made a friend.
And how was school today, dear?
I wanted to stay home with you.
Oh. Aw.
You can't dump coffee on people.
You dumped coffee on someone?
The kid was mean to me.
Oh, well then.
No. No, you're literally on house arrest.
Break the cycle.
Hey, let's not tell Paul
about this one, okay?
He's stressed enough.
-What?
-Wow.
Look at you.
One day you're going to have a daughter,
and I'm going to laugh.
And you will cry,
and I will laugh.
And she will think
you are lame and stupid,
and "ha, ha, ha," I'll say. "Ha, ha."
Gil was there today.
School called him.
He thinks Austin should go
to therapy, and so do I.
Oh yeah, that's a great idea.
Send the one eyewitness to my crime
to a professional trained
in digging in your brain.
Maybe we wait until after my murder trial
is over to send him to therapy?
If that's okay with you.
Look, I'm worried about him too.
But right now,
we have to focus on surviving.
How was work? Joe mention anything?
You mean about how you rigged Lawnfest
so he'd have to talk to you?
Yeah, like that.
Mmm.
You know, the dress kind of works.
I almost believe you're innocent.
I have something
I've been meaning to tell you.
Okay.
I'm in love with you.
Really?
Yeah, being with you…
…you make everything better.
You know? You've been such a calm
during all this turbulence with Georgia.
And that is…
What?
So this is really just about Georgia?
What? No.
-Oh God.
-Uh…
How does she do it?
She's literally everywhere.
You don't even see
how large she looms over your life.
She's the mother of my daughter.
She's in my life.
Okay, but does she need to be here
in this moment right now with us?
Simone, I don't mean it like that.
Where am I in all of this?
-I just told you I love you.
-Okay.
So… what if we have kids?
Is she still gonna be in first position
as the mother of your daughter?
Do you even want more kids?
Uh…
You know, you can't just
throw words around like that
without being prepared to back 'em up.
I need to know that you're really here.
I deserve that.
Yeah, you do.
You're going through a lot right now,
and I get that.
But I need to take care of myself.
So, what are you saying?
I have to think
about some things.
Simone.
Are things any better?
Trial starts next week.
-Mmm.
-It's been hovering over our heads.
I am trying to take things
a day at a time.
My mom's
throwing a party though.
Because that's what she does.
-And what about your father?
-What?
We talk a lot about your mom.
What about your dad?
Oh no, he's not the problem. Trust me.
I'm not suggesting that he is a problem,
but do you think he has a role
in how you feel?
How have you been feeling?
I haven't relapsed.
That's good. That's really good.
I wanted to.
I almost did.
I, um… I took my friend's lighter.
But I haven't.
And I feel really good about that.
Do you know why you haven't?
Because you're starting to love yourself.
That's important.
Love, huh?
It's time to talk about love.
God, you gotta be kidding me.
We're gonna be writing
love poems next. Yay!
All right, if poetry is food of…
Hey, Wolfe.
Okay, let's get boba.
A lover girl should always have
Ten boyfriends… ♪
So you like that class?
Yeah, I love poetry.
That's kind of cute.
-It's cute that I love poetry?
-Yeah.
It's not cute.
No, it's not cute.
It's very serious.
Poetry.
-Why are you in that class?
-Because I suck at poetry?
-Is that why you're asking?
-Mmm.
-Uh. Uh-huh.
-Kind of, yeah.
Well, I'm very good at math and science.
I'm very whatever side
of the brain that is.
My parents thought it'd be a good idea
to take an extra English
to help with the SATs.
-Poetry seemed the easiest.
-Mmm.
I like to swim
I am named Kim
Your name's not Kim.
Mmm.
Okay, then you do it.
I like to swim
But I love to drown
I slip under
No air
Can't breathe
Don't care
I dive deep
Beep, beep
You're kind of terrible at this.
Oh no!
So what do we talk about now?
Oh God, now there's pressure.
Uh… why do you hate love poems?
Why are you noticing?
Well,
because I'm in love with you.
I have an ex.
I'm not really over him.
Sorry, I probably should've told you that.
Is that okay?
-Is this you flirting with me?
-No.
Oh, okay.
'Cause that would be really weird.
All right, fine, I am.
You're kind of bad at it.
No, it's working.
I can tell.
Mm-hmm.
You keep me walking on the same line ♪

Thanks so much for coming.
Paul and I are so grateful.
Only Georgia could whip up a party
while on house arrest.
How are you holding up?
Oh, thanks for asking. It's been hard.
It's a horrible misunderstanding,
obviously.
I'm looking forward
to clearing everything up.
Can I tell you something in confidence?
Mm-hmm.
My lawyer thinks this was done
as a political move against Paul.
Ooh.
You know, I watch a lot of Law & Order,
so if you need any advice at all…
Thank you so much.
Bye-bye.
MANG's over by the face paintin'.
For what it's worth,
I don't think you're a murderer.
Thanks, sweetheart.
Love the shirt.
-Latte?
-Hey.
Hi.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
It's been rough.
We had to put our dog down last week.
As a hunter, I'm used to putting animals
out of their suffering.
Thanks.
He's old, but it's hard on the kids.
Latte?
Oh, your diet, Claire.
-The bitch is back.
-So?
Well, this is what we needed.
Paul looks strong, capable.
Ah, yes, my ideas are your ideas.
Regurgitate them back to me
like a good little baby bird.
All right.
Hi.
-You've got a lot of traffic.
-Mmm.
I feel like the whole town is here.
-Oh, there's my mail person.
-Hi!
-How's it going with the florist?
-Well, Clint is on his fourth Claritin.
Okay.
Get a lot of that?
-Not as much as you think.
-Oh.
The whole criminal element
is kind of a draw.
-Mmm.
-Like a circus attraction.
I could make you beautiful
if you'd just stay still.
It's a masterpiece.
Looking good, girls.
-Hey, Mom.
-Hi, Mrs. Randolph.
Hey, Austin, go get me a donut.
Okay. Do you like it? Yay. All done.
Okay, you are actually
so insanely good at that.
Ah! Thank you. That's from
The Hall of the Willows and the Wings.
It's, like, this fairy warrior character,
and his name is Jinthy.
-And the whole thing--
-Wait. I've heard of that. It's smut.
What? No. No. No, it's not.
Are you putting fairy smut
on little kids' faces, bro?
-What? No! No!
-Yeah, no, it's totally smut.
Okay, Violet Hoffman just dropped out
of doing makeup for Mousse
because of lacrosse or whatever.
Would you wanna do it? You'd be so good.
Oh, you so would. Please.
Hey, Ginny.
How are things going with the poetry guy?
Who's poetry guy?
Wait, you've been letting
Norah talk about fairies
when there's a poetry guy?
Okay, thank you.
Well, he asked her out, and she said no.
I… I actually went. We… we went on a date.
Okay, and…?
So does this mean that you're over Marcus?
I don't know. I guess so.
If someone doesn't love you back,
you kind of have to move on, right?
-How'd it go?
-Why didn't you come?
-I had to stay at Blue Farm.
-Bullshit.
You haven't called me.
You haven't checked in on me. Nothing.
I thought you were the one person
who wouldn't judge me.
Judge? That's…
that's not what this is about.
Then what? You don't get to sleep with me,
so we're not friends?
No, that-- Come on.
-I thought we were friends.
-Yeah.
You know, I just came to load up, so…
Joe!
Did you just throw a cookie at me?
I don't have a lot of friends.
I never did. So don't act like this.
I have feelings for you,
and you know that.
And you pretend you don't.
Like… that means nothing.
And I am your friend.
I went to your wedding.
That sucked.
I went to your arraignment.
That sucked too.
I… care about you.
But I don't think of you
as only a friend, okay?
I… I wish I did.
You needed space.
Lawnfest was a success.
Hey.
Look at me.
Are we good?
Think I've got a hangover
From one sip of wine… ♪
That's her.
Who's it for? 'Cause it isn't for me ♪
And every time I pray
I just pray to be free… ♪
All rise.
The Honorable Judge Matthews presiding.
Pray to be free… ♪
Please be seated.
Nice outfit.
Bless your heart.
Iconic. Her outfit.
Well, it seems to be working.
I know Wellsbury.
Good morning, counsel.
Jurors, you have been summoned today
for The Commonwealth v. Georgia Randolph.
You are here to ensure
that justice gets executed.
Potential juror number three.
-Please tell us where you live…
-Not her.
-…your marital status…
-What? Why not?
I thought she'd be great.
She's a mom like you.
Law & Order junkie.
Hi.
Potential juror number six.
Hunts. Willing to put animals
out of their suffering.
That's good.
Potential juror number seven.
Hates her husband.
Boom.
Potential juror number eight.
Mail carrier.
Oh shit. Goodbye.
You did great.
Hey. It's all gonna be okay.
Now let's get out of here.
How was your day?
Oh, my room was exciting.
You made your bed. Part of being an adult
is laying in that bed.
I know, Dad.
You have to take responsibility.
Can we not be
disappointed in me every dinner?
I don't know, do we?
We're not disappointed.
We're concerned, confused,
and disappointed.
How's school been without me?
Boring. The same.
Have you talked to Ginny?
She talked to you?
No.
I'm her best friend,
but she only talks to you.
She only really bares her soul to you.
-Okay.
-Sorry, can I be excused?
Yes.
Dude, what the hell?
I can take Mom and Dad being weird. Fine.
I'm the black sheep.
I've dishonored the good Baker name.
"The good Baker name"?
I'm a delinquent.
It's embarrassing. I get it.
I don't give a shit
that you're a delinquent.
I'm just being weird
'cause I know something.
Oh.
Good. Uh, what's up?
No.
No, no. I'm not gonna kick you
while you're down.
Like, so, so far down.
Like, beneath the crust. The core.
-The mantle--
-Max.
Tell me.
Ginny went on a date.
Oh.
How does that make you feel?
-Yeah. Very, very bad.
-Mm-mm. No. I'm… I'm thriving.
Live, laugh, Lexapro.
-I'm so sorry.
-Um…
Who with?
A guy from her poetry class.
I don't know anything else.
Bracia did, but I don't.
Are you okay?
Come here,
my sweet little delinquent.
-Trial's tomorrow.
-Oh, is it?
How are you feeling?
Where's Paul?
I went on a date.
You did?
With who?
A boy from my poetry class.
Wolfe.
Wolfe?
Oh, okay.
Was it fun?
Mmm.
Thank you for that. I feel alive.
It's gonna be okay, Mom.
I know.
I know it will.
All rise.
Wellsbury County Court is now in session.
The Honorable Judge Matthews presiding.
Please be seated.
Commonwealth v. Georgia Randolph.
Let's start with opening statements.
The defense is going to paint
the picture of a mom,
a wife,
a productive member of society,
but that is not the truth.
There's more to this woman.
We are gonna prove
beyond any doubt
that Georgia Randolph murdered
Tom Fuller in cold blood.
This was a tragic accident.
Nothing more.
Georgia Randolph is a mother and a wife
and an upstanding member of this community
who did nothing more on that night
than try to help Tom Fuller.
Thank you.
The prosecution would like to call
Gabriel Cordova to the stand.
I'm not a bad person.
But if you come face-to-face with bad,
you change.
You don't escape unscathed.
To survive,
you become a little bad yourself.
How do you know the defendant?
I'm a private investigator.
I was hired to look into her.
And I believe this goes beyond Tom Fuller.
Objection!
This whole case is about Tom Fuller.
Anything else is irrelevant.
It's relevant because there is a pattern.
This is not an isolated event.
She's dangerous.
I believe
that we are dealing with a serial killer.
Objection! Motion to strike!
Order!
I will have order in this court!
Order in the court!
I'm not a bad person.
I know bad. I've seen bad close-up.
I know what it's like to run, to hide,
to be chased by people who wanna hurt you.
And I know what it's like to be hurt.
Those people who hurt me,
they didn't seem bad.
They knew the secret.
It's all about perception.
If you control perception,
you control reality.
And that's power.
That's how you get away with murder.
-Hi, Gram!
-Hi!
Okay, what is all of this?
Oh, um, Mom said
we needed to let off some steam.
-You look nice.
-Thank you.
I had to drag your dad
to church today before I leave.
He brought Simone.
-He did?
-Yes.
And how was your dance last night?
I have been dying to hear about it.
-You're blushing.
-No.
Something happened.
-Are you glad you went?
-Yes, I am.
I made some brunch for your dad.
I want you to go over there
and help him eat it.
And I bought you a present.
Oh.
-This. Oh.
-Yes!
-It looks good on you.
-Yeah.
Well, look at you!
Hey. Come here.
You know, you look a little hot.
Oh no.
You coming from church?
I put your name on the prayer list.
Oh, that's nice.
I wish you could've come.
Community is important
in a time of crisis.
Yeah.
Well, unless community wants
to come to my front lawn…
Ginny had fun at her dance last night.
Listen, if you ever need me,
I'm a phone call away.
Thank you. I mean it.
Oh.
Let's go.
I love you.
Oh…
Paul.
Headed to the town council meetin'?
Yeah.
Josh is coming over. He got the discovery,
so now we'll know what they have on me.
That'll be interesting.
Did you know he wasn't in his room?
Don't look at me.
I'm just eating my frittata.
I thought he got a ride back with you
last night since I cleaned up.
Yes. He told me to tell you
he crashed at Silver's.
Sorry. My bad.
Maybe that means he had fun.
What's that smile for?
How much food does Gram think we eat?
I'm sad she left.
Yeah, me too.
Mm-hmm.
So have you been meditating
like I taught you?
Dad, I don't think meditation's
gonna help with this one.
-Hmm.
-I mean, when can I just…
-What?
-…be.
Not feel like everything is falling apart.
Will that ever happen?
It will.
But you know I'm here for you, right?
-What?
-What was that texting smile about?
"What was
that texting smile about?"
None of your business.
Hmm? None of my business? Really?
Marcus kissed me at the dance last night.
Oh.
Okay.
How do we feel?
I still love him.
-What about you?
-I don't really know him like that.
-Simone, Dad. I'm talking about Simone.
-Oh, Simone.
"Oh, Simone!"
-Simone. Yeah.
-"Simone. Yeah."
Totally. I knew
you were gonna say that. I just…
Do you love her?
Uh…
"Uh…"
-I mean…
-You do.
I-- I lo--
Wow, okay.
I like her.
Good.
So, Marcus.
What's next?
I don't know.
I haven't talked to him.
He kind of just disappeared after.
Mom said Marcus and I
couldn't just be friends.
I hate it when she's right.
She's smart, your mom.
There's not much she doesn't understand.
I feel like an idiot.
I don't understand any of this.
Well, I'm feeling very confident
after looking at this.
It's… it's criminal you were arrested
in the first place.
-That's what I think.
-Yeah. Look.
Cause of death, suffocation.
That lines up with what you said.
Why'd they even do an autopsy?
He was sick. He was dying anyway.
Well, Cynthia requested it.
Huh? But she knew he was dying.
-What is that?
-A witness list.
This man is a witness?
-He must've gotten to her.
-Who?
Gabriel Cordova. Tell me about him.
He's a PI.
My late husband's ex-wife hired him
because Kenny left all his money to me.
Which, I won that claim, by the way.
But this guy, he's unhinged.
He's been pulling up
all this stuff about my past.
He's obsessed with me.
He hates me, and she kinda hates me,
and this is all making a lot more sense.
Okay, well,
any prior bad acts are irrelevant.
This trial is about Thomas Fuller
dying of suffocation.
That's it.
And based on this,
I would say that their case is thin.
And I still think this could be
a political move against Paul.
So there's plenty
of reasonable doubt for the jury.
Which we need to talk about.
Jury selection.
How do we do that? Who do we want?
Well, nobody who loves police,
nobody too religious,
no mail carriers, 'cause they're hopeless.
Look, don't worry about it. Okay?
I know what to look for. Just trust me.
All I really need you to do
is pick out an outfit for court.
Oh, that I'll be good at.
Yeah, but nothing too eye-catching.
You want boring, wholesome, modest.
Okay?
Yeah?
Oh hey.
Um, wild question for ya.
Where did you sleep last night?
Oh, I just crashed.
In… a ditch? In a hotel in Vermont?
Okay, well, the story I went with
is that you were at Silver's.
Thanks.
I didn't see you last night.
-Did you have fun?
-Yeah.
Yeah, Silver and I did too.
Mmm.
Do I need to be worried about you?
That's not very convincing.
We need more dog waste stations.
They're too far apart. People get lazy
and leave their bags on the street.
The poop is getting out of control.
Where are we supposed to put the poop?
-What are you watching?
-City council meetin'.
They haven't gotten to big business,
but this man is wildly concerned
about poop.
-Frankly, who isn't?
-Mmm.
-Moving on.
-Oh, look, there's Paul.
Excellent. Thank you, Mayor Randolph.
That's him. That's the guy going
against Paul. Boo!
I would like to introduce Prop 38,
motion to eliminate
the formula business restrictions.
By not allowing chain stores,
Wellsbury is doing itself a disservice.
This would bring more money…
How much money does one town even need?
You can never have enough money.
And I know I'm not alone
in not wanting to drive 15 minutes
to get to the Starbucks.
I want a Starbucks.
Well, I am a big believer that
an incredible part of Wellsbury's charm
is our strong core
of small, independent businesses.
But yes, let's open it up
to the floor. Anyone?
Wait, is that…?
Okay. So… Oh.
You guys know me.
I'm Joe Singh. I own Blue Farm,
the place you go
since you can't go to Starbucks.
-I think Joe's been avoiding me.
-Probably.
I believe in farm-to-table
and in local vendors,
and that's what we would be losing.
I wonder what Joe's farm is like.
Don't pave paradise
and put up a McDonald's.
-Ah, McDonald's.
-That was very well said.
-I agree. Wellsbury is a one-of-a-kind--
-Uh--
Mr. Mayor, with, uh, with all you have
going on in your personal life,
Wellsbury might not want you
calling the shots right now.
So let's let the people decide.
Let's put Prop 38 on the ballot.
After all…
Things fall apart without me.
…every resident's voice is valuable…
So…
…the dance.
What about it?
Did Marcus go?
Yeah.
Well, you failed to mention that.
Didn't I? Thought I…
Okay, fine, we kissed.
That is so weird because I thought
you guys were just friends.
Do friends kiss?
-Fine, you were right.
-You getting back together?
Be careful.
I know.
You both got a lot going on.
You need some space.
I thought you hated space.
Yeah. From me.
I went into the room,
and there he was, dead.
It was an accident.
Mm-mm.
It was an accident.
A horrible accident.
Hey. How you feelin'?
Well, people don't want me
making their decisions,
so the town will be
voting on it.
-Shit!
-Hey.
It's okay.
Oh, hey, Peach.
Be honest with me.
Do you actually have
a lot of friends at school?
These two girls, they asked if I was poor
because of my clothes.
You were right, what you said.
I haven't been handling things well.
And I know you've always been closer
with your dad,
and now you're stuck with just me.
But this is our new reality,
and we have to deal with it.
No more skipping school
to smoke weed, Abigail.
You've gotta get your grades up.
I signed you up for peer tutoring.
What? Oh my God, Mom.
I haven't been setting a good example.
But we have to do better.
Both of us.
Deal?
So, like, are they a couple now,
or what's going on?
Yeah, I really don't care.
Ew.
You guys hear what happened
to Gitten's classroom?
Someone vandalized it
during Tulips and Tuxes.
All the desks are turned over.
There's Sharpie on the walls.
Gitten's desk is upside down.
There are papers everywhere.
Someone totally destroyed it.
It's a mess.
They just cancelled A block.
Sucks to suck.
Do they know who did it?
I mean, there's a cop here.
They're taking it all serious and shit.
Who do you think could've done it?
There's so many people who hate him.
It wasn't me.
I knew that.
And my mom's on house arrest, so not her.
Whoa, that's crazy.
Are we gonna discuss that?
Yo.
Did you hear about the vandalism?
Apparently, somebody wrecked
the AP English classroom during the dance.
What happened after I left you in there?
Ginny? They wanna see you
in the main office.
Hi, Ginny. Please take a seat.
I didn't touch his classroom.
No one said anything about that.
I told you.
Everyone knows about it.
Ginny, you're not in trouble.
We just wanted to talk to you.
She has a history of being disruptive.
What did he tell you?
Did he tell you why I dropped his class
even though I was getting straight A's?
I did it.
It was me.
I'm sorry. It was dumb.
Do what you gotta do.
Ginny, you can return to class.
Marcus, we take vandalism very seriously.
I'm sure you do.
What's your next move?
I am losing it, Nick.
If what you said is true…
She might've killed her last two husbands,
and you're worried
you might be her next victim?
Sorry. What does the lawyer think?
That she'll get off.
Okay.
So then laying low
may not be the worst move.
-Yeah.
-We let the trial play out.
And then…
It's her.
-Oh.
-No, stay.
Hello, Georgia. Nick is here too.
Oh. Hi, Nick. Long time.
Anything new going on with you?
I watched
the town council meeting. Yikes.
Don't worry though, I have an idea.
Georgia, we talked about this.
I know, but I see
how stressed you are, and I wanna help.
So I was thinking,
David Mann is trying to get Wellsbury
to let in big business.
Let's counterattack.
Celebrate the small businesses
that make the town special.
We make it a block party.
Each house can host a different business.
We can call it Lawnfest.
-I take it you're participating?
-Of course.
Of course, because this is about you
saving face with the town.
Why not kill two birds
with one stone?
Killing things doesn't seem
to overly concern you.
Nick.
I get
you don't want me involved,
but you have to see
this is good for Paul too.
It shows that we have nothin' to hide.
We're productive leaders of this town.
It brings the community to our front lawn.
A public united front is smart.
She's right, isn't she?
And I hate it so much.
-I sort of love that he did that.
-I don't.
Gitten's ass. He deserved it.
I mean, he did vandalism for you.
I don't know. Do you guys think this was
some sort of misguided romantic gesture
to get us back together?
-What?
-Nothing.
If he wanted to be with you,
he would be with you.
Okay, so who else is on the roster?
This guy from my poetry class
asked me out.
Oh, I like the sound of him.
Bracia, I only said
"boy in my poetry class."
Yeah.
Okay, what is going on
with you and Bryon though?
What do you mean? We're… we're good.
-Bryon is such a green flag.
-Mmm.
You know we can also be single?
Just, like, work on ourselves
and our futures.
This bitch.
Yeah, and we can own our futures
by learning new skills.
Something like that. Oh my--
For what?
So, Bracia, is your brother single yet?
Ew. Jackie. No.
Her brother goes to Oak Hill Prep.
He's gifted, and he has a six-pack.
Please, stop.
-No, don't stop.
-He's gorgeous.
Okay, if we're gonna talk
about family members,
Ginny, I'm sorry, your dad.
Your dad.
-Ooh.
-No, we have to talk about it. No.
He is a beautiful man.
-He came in on a motorcycle once.
-I get lost in his eyes.
-His shoulders are set.
-Ooh! Girl.
-That's a fine specimen.
-You guys are still going?
La, la, la, la, la.
-Um, hey.
-Uh, Tris.
Yeah, I remember. Are you my tutor?
-Mm-hmm.
-Cool.
Uh, what do you need help in?
Um, D, all of the above.
Okay.
Uh, you wanna start with math,
English, science…
I'm kinda just really bad at school.
-I'm dumb.
-Oh, I doubt that.
I don't know.
You'll see.
God, can't you just teach me
how to, like, skateboard or something?
You're into skateboarding?
Sure, yeah.
Okay.
Let's start with math though.
See where we end up.
Come on.
So, excited to be my love interest?
-Our chemistry must be pretty good.
-Yeah, it must be.
Guys, I love this.
I feel like I'm part of it.
You're not.
Sorry.
-Hey, Max.
-Hi.
Are you okay?
Oh yeah.
-I don't care that we're love interests.
-Mmm.
It just doesn't affect me.
You know,
Wellsbury just has to be so progressive
and gender-bend those roles,
but it's fine.
No, no, I meant your brother.
He's suspended.
What?
Hey.
Respectfully, what the hell?
I'm sorry.
I expect this vindictive outlaw shit
from my mom, but not from you.
-And now I'm being called to the office?
-I know. It's stupid.
I just… I need the people I love
to stop doing illegal shit.
What happened?
I'm suspended.
-I'm out for a month.
-A month?
Yeah, they take vandalism
very seriously, remember?
What did your parents say?
My mom cried.
That sucked.
And Dad's pissed.
Shit, I'm sorry.
-What's wrong?
-I don't wanna make things complicated.
Ha.
We're friends, right?
But you kissed me.
I don't understand.
You… you keep sending me mixed signals,
and it's not fair.
I hate not knowing where we stand.
And I know you're struggling.
So am I.
But I love you, and I know you love me,
so I don't get why we can't be together.
-I'm sorry.
-Stop saying that.
You're breaking my heart again.
I can't be with you.
-That's where we stand.
-But why?
I don't love you anymore.
-I care about you a lot.
-What are you doing?
You're trying to push me away?
I am so serious, Marcus.
Do not say that to me unless it's true.
I don't love you.
How much did you hear?
"I don't understand."
"I will not clarify."
"We kissed,
and I love you."
"I'm destined for sadness.
Best friends forever?"
Dude, what is wrong with you?
Mom and Dad didn't need you
going all demolition.
-Why did you do that?
-I don't know.
Okay? I… I don't remember doing it.
I don't remember trashing a classroom.
It's not something I wanna have done.
And I don't remember kissing Ginny.
I didn't know I kissed her
until she told me just now.
I didn't wanna go to that dance.
I told everyone I didn't wanna go,
but Mom was sad
and Ginny wanted me there, so I went.
And I shouldn't have. I knew I shouldn't.
I am trying… so hard
not to feel this way anymore.
I don't think you understand.
And I… And I got there, and it was…
loud.
I got drunk…
…'cause I'm a piece of shit.
And that's why, even though
I love that girl so much it hurts,
I can't be with her.
'Cause I can barely be with myself.
-Marcus--
-No, please.
I'm sorry I made you go.
You didn't.
It's not your fault.
It's not her fault. It's me.
I'm the problem.
I don't think you're a problem.
And Ginny doesn't think so either.
She's right.
I am sending mixed signals and…
I can't do more than that right now.
And… and she shouldn't
have to go through that, so…
Max, please don't tell her anything.
Okay.
You wanna watch a movie?
I promise I won't talk through it.
Yeah? Okay.
And then I start to drown ♪
It feels like
Everybody learned how to swim ♪
And I somehow missed the lesson ♪
Where we learned we are fish ♪
Just get over it ♪
Just get over it ♪
Just get over it ♪
Just get over ♪
Get over, just get it ♪
Just get over it ♪
So I started reaching out
to the Neighborhood Club girls
about Lawnfest.
They think it's a great idea.
Once they got over asking me
about my ankle monitor,
they were very excited to get into it.
Ginny, could you ask your friends
to paint faces?
Like you did at Winterfest and Fallfest?
We have so many fests.
Mom, please don't make me
invite my friends here.
We have nothing to hide, right?
We're in this together.
Ride or die.
Where are we riding,
and why do we have to die?
Bye, bud. Have a good day.
Ginny.
Bye.
Bye.
Is he good?
I think work is stressing him out.
Which is why Lawnfest is so important.
-Please ask your friends.
-Fine.
Speaking of friends,
Ellen told me
Marcus got suspended for vandalism?
What's vandalism?
When you trash a classroom
so that you don't have to go to school.
Ellen didn't specify,
but I'm guessing
it was a certain English classroom.
Uh-huh.
There's nothing going on with us, Mom.
Oh, I know. Just friends.
No, we're not anything.
He told me
he doesn't love me anymore, so…
He said that?
Oh, Peach, come here.
I know things have been shit,
but it's gonna get better soon, I promise.
Okay?
Yeah, that would be nice.
Oh, honey.
Pick one
and present it to the class.
Austin!
What are you…?
Oh my God.
He's crazy.
I know there's a lot going on
with your family at the moment,
but I really need to be speaking
with an adult or a legal guardian.
I'm here. Hi, uh, I'm Austin's dad.
Got a call about an incident?
Yes. Um, Austin drew on the wall,
he pushed over a chair,
and he broke my globe.
And, most concerning,
he dumped coffee on another student.
It was lukewarm.
I know
he has a lot going on.
Is he talking to anyone? A therapist?
I'd like him to be, yeah.
What happened to you?
I got a construction job in Bedford.
I'm… trying, bud.
This isn't his first incident.
Typically, he'd be suspended,
but we're sensitive
to what's happening at home,
so we're gonna give him one last warning.
Austin, I know that Mom
has a certain way of handling things,
but we don't have to be like her.
I'd rather be like her than my dad.
Okay.
You okay?
Also, Hunter?
Miss Ma'am.
-Should I have told you?
-Dude, it's none of my business.
I'm just glad you're happy.
Thank you. I am.
He's very sweet,
and we're writing a song together.
And, I don't know,
he just, like, communicates.
And I know where I stand with him.
You know?
Hi, Ginny.
Do you have any idea how Blue Farm
got paired up with the Miller House
for this Lawnfest thing?
You can only hide
from Georgia Miller for so long, Joe.
Yeah.
Okay.
My poker face can't hide no more… ♪
Honestly iconic of Maxine for writing
"Congrats, you vicious bitch"
on your Bat Mitzvah board.
Ridiculous.
Are you gonna go?
Yeah, probably.
I feel so weird being around Ginny's mom.
Seriously? That's kind of dramatic.
More dramatic than murder?
Fair.
Well, I hate this.
-Who are you talking to?
-Myself.
Oh good, you made a friend.
And how was school today, dear?
I wanted to stay home with you.
Oh. Aw.
You can't dump coffee on people.
You dumped coffee on someone?
The kid was mean to me.
Oh, well then.
No. No, you're literally on house arrest.
Break the cycle.
Hey, let's not tell Paul
about this one, okay?
He's stressed enough.
-What?
-Wow.
Look at you.
One day you're going to have a daughter,
and I'm going to laugh.
And you will cry,
and I will laugh.
And she will think
you are lame and stupid,
and "ha, ha, ha," I'll say. "Ha, ha."
Gil was there today.
School called him.
He thinks Austin should go
to therapy, and so do I.
Oh yeah, that's a great idea.
Send the one eyewitness to my crime
to a professional trained
in digging in your brain.
Maybe we wait until after my murder trial
is over to send him to therapy?
If that's okay with you.
Look, I'm worried about him too.
But right now,
we have to focus on surviving.
How was work? Joe mention anything?
You mean about how you rigged Lawnfest
so he'd have to talk to you?
Yeah, like that.
Mmm.
You know, the dress kind of works.
I almost believe you're innocent.
I have something
I've been meaning to tell you.
Okay.
I'm in love with you.
Really?
Yeah, being with you…
…you make everything better.
You know? You've been such a calm
during all this turbulence with Georgia.
And that is…
What?
So this is really just about Georgia?
What? No.
-Oh God.
-Uh…
How does she do it?
She's literally everywhere.
You don't even see
how large she looms over your life.
She's the mother of my daughter.
She's in my life.
Okay, but does she need to be here
in this moment right now with us?
Simone, I don't mean it like that.
Where am I in all of this?
-I just told you I love you.
-Okay.
So… what if we have kids?
Is she still gonna be in first position
as the mother of your daughter?
Do you even want more kids?
Uh…
You know, you can't just
throw words around like that
without being prepared to back 'em up.
I need to know that you're really here.
I deserve that.
Yeah, you do.
You're going through a lot right now,
and I get that.
But I need to take care of myself.
So, what are you saying?
I have to think
about some things.
Simone.
Are things any better?
Trial starts next week.
-Mmm.
-It's been hovering over our heads.
I am trying to take things
a day at a time.
My mom's
throwing a party though.
Because that's what she does.
-And what about your father?
-What?
We talk a lot about your mom.
What about your dad?
Oh no, he's not the problem. Trust me.
I'm not suggesting that he is a problem,
but do you think he has a role
in how you feel?
How have you been feeling?
I haven't relapsed.
That's good. That's really good.
I wanted to.
I almost did.
I, um… I took my friend's lighter.
But I haven't.
And I feel really good about that.
Do you know why you haven't?
Because you're starting to love yourself.
That's important.
Love, huh?
It's time to talk about love.
God, you gotta be kidding me.
We're gonna be writing
love poems next. Yay!
All right, if poetry is food of…
Hey, Wolfe.

Poetry.
-Why are you in that class?
-Because I suck at poetry?
-Is that why you're asking?
-Mmm.

-Kind of, yeah.
Well, I'm very good at math and science.

Uh… why do you hate love poems?
Why are you noticing?
Well,
because I'm in love with you.
I have an ex.
I'm not really over him.
Sorry, I probably should've told you that.
Is that okay?
-Is this you flirting with me?

Oh, okay.

Thanks so much for coming.
Paul and I are so grateful.
Only Georgia could whip up a party
while on house arrest.
How are you holding up?
Oh, thanks for asking. It's been hard.
It's a horrible misunderstanding,
obviously.
I'm looking forward
to clearing everything up.
Can I tell you something in confidence?
Mm-hmm.
My lawyer thinks this was done

Ooh.
You know, I watch a lot of Law & Order,

Thank you so much.
Bye-bye.
MANG's over by the face paintin'.
For what it's worth,

Thanks, sweetheart.
Love the shirt.

Hi.

It's been rough.
We had to put our dog down last week.

-How's it going with the florist?
-Well, Clint is on his fourth Claritin.
Okay.
Get a lot of that?
-Not as much as you think.
-Oh.
The whole criminal element

It's a masterpiece.
Looking good, girls.

Hey, Austin, go get me a donut.
Okay. Do you like it? Yay. All done.
Okay, you are actually

Ah! Thank you. That's from
The Hall of the Willows and the Wings.
It's, like, this fairy warrior character,
and his name is Jinthy.
-And the whole thing--
-Wait. I've heard of that. It's smut.
What? No. No. No, it's not.
Are you putting fairy smut
on little kids' faces, bro?
-What? No! No!
-Yeah, no, it's totally smut.
Okay, Violet Hoffman just dropped out

Hey, Ginny.
How are things going with the poetry guy?
Who's poetry guy?
Wait, you've been letting
Norah talk about fairies
when there's a poetry guy?
Okay, thank you.
Well, he asked her out, and she said no.
I… I actually went. We… we went on a date.
Okay, and…?
So does this mean that you're over Marcus?
I don't know. I guess so.
If someone doesn't love you back,
you kind of have to move on, right?
-How'd it go?
-Why didn't you come?
-I had to stay at Blue Farm.
-Bullshit.
You haven't called me.
You haven't checked in on me. Nothing.
I thought you were the one person
who wouldn't judge me.
Judge? That's…
that's not what this is about.
Then what? You don't get to sleep with me,
so we're not friends?
No, that-- Come on.
-I thought we were friends.
-Yeah.
You know, I just came to load up, so…
Joe!
Did you just throw a cookie at me?
I don't have a lot of friends.
I never did. So don't act like this.
I have feelings for you,
and you know that.
And you pretend you don't.
Like… that means nothing.
And I am your friend.
I went to your wedding.
That sucked.
I went to your arraignment.
That sucked too.
I… care about you.
But I don't think of you
as only a friend, okay?

You needed space.

Nice outfit.

Iconic. Her outfit.
Well, it seems to be working.
I know Wellsbury.
Good morning, counsel.
Jurors, you have been summoned today
for The Commonwealth v. Georgia Randolph.
You are here to ensure
that justice gets executed.
Potential juror number three.
-Please tell us where you live…
-Not her.
-…your marital status…
-What? Why not?
I thought she'd be great.
She's a mom like you.
Law & Order junkie.
Hi.
Potential juror number six.
Hunts. Willing to put animals

That's good.
Potential juror number seven.
Hates her husband.
Boom.
Potential juror number eight.
Mail carrier.
Oh shit. Goodbye.
You did great.
Hey. It's all gonna be okay.
Now let's get out of here.
How was your day?
Oh, my room was exciting.
You made your bed. Part of being an adult
is laying in that bed.
I know, Dad.
You have to take responsibility.
Can we not be
disappointed in me every dinner?
I don't know, do we?
We're not disappointed.
We're concerned, confused,
and disappointed.
How's school been without me?
Boring. The same.
Have you talked to Ginny?
She talked to you?
No.
I'm her best friend,
but she only talks to you.
She only really bares her soul to you.
-Okay.
-Sorry, can I be excused?
Yes.
Dude, what the hell?
I can take Mom and Dad being weird. Fine.
I'm the black sheep.
I've dishonored the good Baker name.
"The good Baker name"?
I'm a delinquent.
It's embarrassing. I get it.
I don't give a shit
that you're a delinquent.
I'm just being weird
'cause I know something.
Oh.
Good. Uh, what's up?
No.
No, no. I'm not gonna kick you

Live, laugh, Lexapro.

Who with?
A guy from her poetry class.
I don't know anything else.
Bracia did, but I don't.
Are you okay?
Come here,
my sweet little delinquent.
-Trial's tomorrow.
-Oh, is it?
How are you feeling?
Where's Paul?
I went on a date.
You did?
With who?
A boy from my poetry class.
Wolfe.
Wolfe?
Oh, okay.
Was it fun?
Mmm.
Thank you for that. I feel alive.
It's gonna be okay, Mom.
I know.
I know it will.
All rise.
Wellsbury County Court is now in session.
The Honorable Judge Matthews presiding.
Please be seated.
Commonwealth v. Georgia Randolph.
Let's start with opening statements.
The defense is going to paint
the picture of a mom,
a wife,
a productive member of society,
but that is not the truth.
There's more to this woman.
We are gonna prove
beyond any doubt
that Georgia Randolph murdered
Tom Fuller in cold blood.
This was a tragic accident.
Nothing more.
Georgia Randolph is a mother and a wife
and an upstanding member of this community
who did nothing more on that night
than try to help Tom Fuller.
Thank you.
The prosecution would like to call
Gabriel Cordova to the stand.
I'm not a bad person.
But if you come face-to-face with bad,
you change.
You don't escape unscathed.
To survive,
you become a little bad yourself.
How do you know the defendant?
I'm a private investigator.
I was hired to look into her.
And I believe this goes beyond Tom Fuller.
Objection!
This whole case is about Tom Fuller.
Anything else is irrelevant.
It's relevant because there is a pattern.
This is not an isolated event.
She's dangerous.
I believe
that we are dealing with a serial killer.
Objection! Motion to strike!
Order!
I will have order in this court!
Order in the court!
