This is so cool.
Creepy.
Scary.
That's what makes it cool.
But if you are scared, you could move a little closer.
- But what if we get caught? - Ok, who else is gonna be here this late? I have to admit I thought you were weird when you first brought this place up but it's actually pretty cool.
I figured you'd like the whole getting back to the nature thing.
You know, me Tarzan, you Jane.
Uh, me outta here if you're gonna talk like that all night.
Unbelievable! Oh Geez! Oh, Tarzan protect Jane.
Shut up, you ruin it again.
This is where Aiden and I used to come.
I can't believe he's recycling our old places.
And I can't believe you're doing the exact same thing.
Wait.
This, hum isn't gonna go where you think it is.
What? Is that because of me and Ashley? No, it's because, hum - I'm a virgin.
- That is such bull crap.
I got your 40 million text messages.
Why you care who Aiden dates? Ok, it's a rule, you don't date your sister's boyfriend.
Ex-boyfriend And, you know what? As you're girlfriend, I'm telling you, you need to stop obsessing over this.
Ok, and as your ride to school in my brand new convertible, I'm telling you, you really need to start taking my side.
- Oh, hi, Ash.
- We're gonna be late.
Spence, I hum I have a favor, but I think it's one you'll like.
Do you remember Mrs Brannon? We met her last week after church? Well, she has a son, Patrick.
And, I don't know, I just think you two would hit it off.
- You did not set me up on a blind date? - Ok, he's really cute.
What You're not dating anyone, right? - No, why? - Well, because I invited him to dinner.
Tonight.
I'm sorry.
- You have to open it.
Open it.
- What is this? What is this? It's this amazing art school I applied to.
I didn't know that you'd applied to schools already.
- When did you do this? - Oh, months ago.
Now read it, I'm dying here.
Alright.
Alright Congratulations on your acceptance to the Academie Verlaine.
Oh my god, I've always dreamed to go there, I can't believe it.
- Yeah that's - Awful.
Paris? Paris? No man, that's tight.
I can get a whole list of movies shot over there before she goes.
Breathless, La Femme Nikita, this other one Diva.
I'm not trying to give her reasons to go, I'm trying to get her to stay.
I mean, we've been together three months and she's not even mentioned this school.
And now she's all set on going there.
Chelsea's life existed before you entered the picture.
I understand that, but now that I'm in the picture, I mean, doesn't that change anything? That's something you've gotta ask your girl.
I don't know, I just - I just don't wanna lose her, you know? - I know.
Hey but you've gotte figure out all the options to chose what's best.
For her, for you.
You're together.
You make it sounds so easy.
It is when I'm not the one who has to take my own advice.
Good slam, loud bang, angry face.
Get my attention, is that what you're trying to do? I'm not in the mood, Madison.
What's going on? Duke won't honor my scholarship unless I pass a physical.
Well, I just failed.
How hard can it be to turn your head and cough? Doc says the ligaments haven't healed yet.
Ok, well, that's not permanent, you'll get there.
Yeah maybe.
Hey, we weren't bad when we were together, were we? I mean, we had fun, right? Yeah we did.
Maybe what you need is a little break from all the rehab.
You know, something to take the edge off.
Are you hitting on me? Just feeling a little nostalgic.
Believe me, I like sex.
I used to sleep around a lot, I'm just - Not that girl anymore.
- Wait, wait, wait Can't I go out with that girl? You did.
Just the more mature version of her.
- Oh come on.
Maturity is overrated.
- So I noticed.
Look, by saying that I'm a virgin, it makes guys treat me differently, and it helps me protect that side of myself.
- Makes sense? - Not really.
You know, you can't biologically still be a virgin.
No but emotionally I can.
- It's kinda like a born again virgin.
- A what? Born again, but with without all the religious stuff attached.
- Yeah, I I don't get it.
- Exactly.
But, from what Madison says, you get it all the time.
Yeah, well I mean I know there's a couple of girls around here that don't think I'm a bad choice.
I don't think you are either, but I'd like a little time to find out.
Please don't tell me that you're one of those guys who doesn't thinks that there's anything between first base and home plate.
No, hum I always shag the other bases on the way.
Kyla is so fake.
Even her hymen is faux.
That's it.
I'm making a new law.
He can't see her anymore.
You're what? Well, she wants to save herself for marriage, and I'm saving him from her.
Look, I think we're all sort of adults.
I mean, we should be able to choose who we go out with.
Spence, your date should be here any minute.
Goodnight Ashley.
Look, I'm sorry about tonight.
I mean, what was I supposed to do? I don't know.
Spencer.
Maybe you could come out to your parents.
You know I can't do that.
Well maybe I can't be your dirty little secret anymore! Well maybe that's because you already have one.
You still have feelings for Aiden.
Hi.
- I'm Partick.
Are you Spencer? - No.
But you might wanna come in, cause she's not coming out.
In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus Christ, be Thou our guest.
All that we have is a gift and it comes, oh God, from you.
- We thank you for it.
- Amen.
For Thou has blessed us with 5 loaves and two fish.
And bless us all as we gather here today.
Through Your goodness we have these gifts for our use.
Food of Your bounty and work of human hands.
May they give You honor and glory.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
So how long have you all been here in LA? About six month, not counting that prayer.
Actually, Patrick We came to Los Angeles because it provides many opportunities.
You know? For carrier and meeting new friends.
Or staying close to old ones.
Mrs.
Carlin, these pork chops look amazing.
So good you don't even have to cut them with a fork or a knife.
Yeah but it'd be really great if you did.
Hey hum, speaking of new friends Clay, what are you and Chelsea up to tonight? Hum, I'm not really sure.
Oh hum, Chelsea is Clay's girlfriend.
She's such a sweetheart.
You know, as a parent, you're always worried about who your kids are gonna gravitate to so We're really lucky that Clay found such a nice normal girl like Chelsea.
I'm here to tell you: you'd better not let her get away.
Unbelievable.
I'd make more money begging on the street.
You can always go back to pole dancing.
Do me a favor.
Do you think you two could call it a truce during business hours? Ok, she totally started it.
Alright that's a lie.
But it's not like she's the only one with a damaged day, ok? Damaged day? So my new sister's dating my old boyfriend, which has to be like incest or polygamy or something that causes babies to come out with three of everything.
So we're talking about Kyla and Aiden, ok go on.
Yeah, and meanwhile, my new girlfriend, she thinks I'm jealous of my old boyfriend and new sister and their three-headed baby.
So she's going on a date with a guy! Yeah, a guy! Some church boy with whom her mom, who isn't exactly ‘Yay Gay' set her up on.
Because she won't tell her that she prefers girls.
Not guys.
- I know, it's confusing.
- No, actually it's real simple.
It's just that in that whole little whatever that was, you managed to tell me about everyone but yourself.
What's important to you? To Ashley? Don't wait up.
Hey, don't make me wait up.
Have fun.
Well, they seem nice.
Yeah, by nice you mean sugary-sweet and trying to be perfect and fake.
Yeah.
Yeah I guess that's what it means at my house too.
Sorry about this whole like mystery date situation.
Are you kidding? This is so not your fault.
I mean, I should be apologizing for my mom trying to be a matchmaker.
Hey, I have a confession to make.
I'm already dating somebody.
- Are you? Wait then, why - Cause my parents made me come, hoping to change my mind.
They don't really like my girlfriend.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Hey, what's up? Seven bitchy tables in a row and six bucks in tips to show for it.
- Wow so per table that's like, what? - Meno che nada.
Ok, well, whatever that is, it sounds bad.
No bad is your dad getting caught embezzling and cutting you off completely, so he could pay for his legal defence.
Meaning you gotta work here for spare change.
Come on.
I mean, money isn't everyting.
Maybe not in Ohio.
But out here unless you're some superstar or supersmart, You've got no choices, no opportunity to be who you wanna be with who you want.
Madison, you're already all those things.
You don’t have to buy you're way back in.
Truth is, hum I always felt lucky just to be with you.
You were? If I ever get the chance to get lucky again, I'm in Even if it 's just for a second to help you forget all this.
Oh, God.
How long have you been standing there? I don't know.
I kinda lost track watching you.
This is amazing.
No really, you're amazing.
On the way over here, I was rehearsing all the things I could say to you to get you to stay and keep us together.
But we are together, aren't we? I thought we were, but then I heard about Paris and I was just confused.
Then I see you here in your world And This is why you should go.
- Clay, I haven't made any decision yet, ok? - But you will, and you should.
And I just wanna let you know that i'm gonna support you in whatever it is you chose.
Because that's what you do when you love Someone.
What the? Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Madison, come on, it really never happened before.
Damn right, it never happened before.
Maybe Spencer is not the only one in the family who's gay.
Oh, come on, that's gotta be my medication.
Where's Patrick? Oh, he went home.
I don't think he was interested.
Yeah, you know, he was such a nice guy too.
Don't take it so hard, ok? Besides, a lot of my friends at church have sons your age.
I'll make you some tea.
Guys! How romantic, you brought me to the gym.
Gyms can be romantic.
You're such a guy.
Such a romantic guy! - I have my moments.
- How did you do this? When you spend enough time on this court, you make a few friends.
Thank you Aiden.
You know, you're turning out to be a nice surprise.
I'm still not sleeping with you.
- Done closing out the register? - Yeah, just finished.
Looks like your night really picked up.
Keep up the good work and maybe you'll make some real money.
You can count on it.
God, you scared me.
I was just returning the jacket that I borrowed from you.
Oh yeah, you seem to be borrowing a lot of my stuff lately.
- Let me guess, like your boyfriend? - Ex-boyfriend.
I honestly don't care if you date Aiden.
He's just not that important to me.
I'm glad to hear that.
Oh hey, a word of advice.
Don't expect Aiden to go along with your whole lost and found virginity thing.
Because he won't.
Well maybe you don't know Aiden as well as you think you do.
Hey Kyla, there you are.
I managed to get two front row tickets to the Victoria Secret runway show at the Beverly Wilshire.
There's gonna be tons of cute boys there.
And their new line is so classically feminine.
It sounds like fun? - Yeah, sure, that'd be really great.
- Great.
I am sitting right here.
Don't I get to go? Sorry honey I didn't think you'd be interested.
You're not really into that sort of thing.
Underwear? Models? Come on, Mom.
We both know what this is about.
Ashley, I don't think we should bring this up in front of Kyla.
Why not? She's part of the family now, right? Um, ok.
I'm gonna go to bed now.
You have no right to make her feel uncomfortable just because we have problems.
We don't have problems.
You do.
Ever since you fond out I was gay.
It's like I'm invisible.
Like you don't even have a daughter anymore.
That's not true! You've just grown up and - And we've gone our separate ways.
- Well I haven't gone anywhere Mom! Maybe it's time for me to stop waiting for you… to love me again.
You know who I just thought of? Sharon Clauwson's son Zack.
He would be perfect for Spencer.
Don't you think so? - I don't know.
- I just feel like Spencer's lost right now.
You know, and We need to be there for her.
You know? I know we can't do everything, but I can do this to help.
Help what? What are you trying to fix, Paula? Spencer's is not broken.
We are.
I think the best thing we can do for our kids is to see if we can Fix us.
What if we can't? - I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
You had every right to be mad at me.
But I don't have feelings for Aiden anymore.
I only have feelings for you.
Thank you.
Look, I really need to do something.
I need to come out to my parents.
I'm just tired of keeping us a secret but I'm so scared about how they're gonna react.
What should I say? Nothing.
And I know that I gave you a lot of crap about it earlier.
But I look at the way my mom treats me because I'm gay.
As if I'm less of a daughter somehow.
And I don't want you to go through that.
Ever.
It sucks What am I supposed to do, never come out to my parents? No, no, that's not what I'm saying.
You've just changed a lot since you've come here, Spencer.
And your parents… Not so much.
You just have to pick the right moment.
Because you only get one.
Why does it have to be so hard? It has to be.
Otherwise we wouldn't realize how important it really is.
