Pour the gasoline
I'm not afraid to bleed
One light, and I'm set free
I thought I was being a good friend,
but I started rethinking
every single thing that I've done with this friend group,
and all the shit that happened.
But then, I was like, "No. Fuck you, Emma Medrano."
"Not you gaslighting me into thinking I'm a bad friend."
"The real bad person here is you."
Feel the fire go out
You're gonna see me glow
I've moved on from, like, whatever the narrative with me is.
Like, it's just so crazy to me that at 23, 24 years old,
having to apologize for what a 17-year-old kid did.
You know, to come back as adults and have my head on a stick because of it,
it's just, like, ridiculous.
The world is up in smoke
I set it all ablaze
You can't control what other people think.
And you're not gonna be everyone's favorite person.
Like, you're gonna be a villain in someone's book.
Sometimes you lose certain people in your life, but it makes room for more.
But as of now, I'm just living and being hot.
Playing with fire
Oh
Playing with fire
I don't want to fight.
I don't want to be, like, this loud, obnoxious, mean girl.
But feeling like an outcast or like people are teaming up
or you're not fitting in, that does not feel good for anybody.
Watch me burn it down
Ashes on the ground
You're gonna feel me now
I have the mindset and the knowledge
to know that I got to be successful.
I know I can do this.
But if I don't get my last year of eligibility to play basketball,
I just don't know what path I'll take.
I set it all ablaze
The danger's what I crave
I love the feel of flames
I think this summer, I've been healing a lot,
but I'm still hurt,
and, like, not letting go of, like, my past just… it's driven me places
where I'm, like, embarrassed of my behavior.
Unfortunately, I think I finally need to have that conversation with Dylan
that I feel like I've been dreading having the whole summer.
And that scares me a lot.
Playing with fire, oh
Playing with fire
This feels like only you
You're my job, 'cause I'm on it
And I'm gonna keep falling
Oh, hi. Wait, that was fast.
Yeah, hey. Are you making me…?
Yeah. I didn't even have enough time. I'm just getting started.
Can I have the thing so I can put honey and stuff in it?
-Yeah. -Did you already eat?
-Are you hungry? -I haven't eaten today.
Remember that breakfast we had at the coffee shop the other day?
I want to remake it. It was so good.
Okay. I like this. We're in our budget era.
-No. -We're not?
Our groceries always go bad because we never eat them.
Yeah, it's actually my biggest pet peeve ever in life.
Wait, how long are you gonna be in North Carolina for?
-Like, two and a half weeks. -Then you're on your cruise?
Yeah. Then I'm going to fly back here
because I start my new job teaching and stuff.
-In Orange County. So sad. -But also, I only work two days a week.
So that means you're still gonna visit?
Well, I'm like… I could honestly kind of live anywhere, right?
So you wanna live in Calabasas?
No, I don't wanna live in Calabasas.
-But… -Okay. Well, this is awkward.
I want to be roommates, but you don't want to be my roommate.
-You want to be roommates? -Yes.
Maybe when we're married.
Okay, well, hurry up.
Hurry up, then.
Me and my girlfriend met in New York Fashion Week.
We met in February, started dating in March,
and then she moved here in May.
And so, right now, she's staying at my house,
but we're not living together.
It's definitely like you have to have your priorities straight
to, like, balance both the starting of a career.
'Cause you have to put a lot of time and energy, and, like, emotion into that,
and also, like, fostering a relatively new relationship.
Like, I did them both at the very-- Like, pretty much at same exact time.
So sometimes one can take neglect versus other,
and, like, where is the balance between a healthy relationship
and the start of a successful career?
What are you doing the rest of this week?
Um…
I'm on hold for a job tomorrow.
-You are? -Yeah.
Since when?
Well, I got asked if I wanted to do a job tomorrow.
-When? -Today.
-Oh, you didn't tell me. -I just found out.
-Yeah. Honestly, I have something to say. -What do you have to say?
You have to keep me updated, because…
Normally, I have to pull it out of you what you're doing.
-Really? -Yes.
-You actually think that? -I actually do.
Okay.
Like, normally, you give me just, like, the basic version of your day…
Okay, I'll give you the juicy details. "At the gym today…"
Every conversation you had with every person during the day.
-Okay. Okay. -Okay?
Well, maybe you can meet my new friends before you go, so you kind of understand.
Yeah, well, that would be nice,
'cause all I hear about is these friends that I have never met.
Okay, well, let's hang. You're here for another week.
I know.
Okay. Um, okay, so what would you appreciate knowing?
Well, I'd just appreciate, like, who's there
and, like, what you're doing.
Especially if I, like, don't know people,
'cause I already feel like I don't know that many people here,
and, like, you make friends really easily, and so…
sometimes I just feel, like, out of the loop.
Mm.
That's all.
I feel like these friends I met are, like, genuine friends.
It kind of feels like I'm back in high school again with a friend group,
and so I want them to meet you.
Yeah, it was just-- I was never, like, part of a friend group,
so it kind of just feels like, again, like, I…
am, like, left out of, like, a big friend group.
She's been burned by so many people growing up.
She's kind of just burnt out from wanting to make friends
just 'cause it doesn't come easy to her
'cause she's had so many more obstacles than I had.
And so that is kind of like…
like what happens when other girls want to be your friend
because they know you from a show when you were 12,
or they're jealous of you 'cause you were on a show.
But also, at the same time, in a relationship,
especially a dating relationship,
like, the other person shouldn't be your whole entire world,
because that puts a lot of strain on a relationship.
I feel like everyone just wanted to be my friend for the wrong reasons
growing up.
Totally.
Also, here, there's so many people that wanna be your friend
for the wrong reasons.
Yeah.
You're just, like, so nice, and, like, you give everyone a chance
even if they don't deserve it.
So that's where we're a little different.
Yeah.
Touchdown when I'm flying Top off, how many riding?
I'm way too real, never see me lying
I stay outside, I ain't never hiding
Room 27, I just checked out
Got a whole new flight And I just left now
I'mma dance all night Don't feel left out
'Cause you look so good…
-Hi! -Hi, Bina.
Hi, brother!
Ow. My neck.
Thank you! These are cutesies.
-So tell me, what's new? -How are you?
So much, but nothing.
-All at once, honestly. -Yeah?
How's New York?
It's good. It's New York. You gotta love it. You gotta hate it.
But I miss you guys.
Have you talked to Dad? Or what's up? What's going on?
Saw him the other day.
He sent me your bull riding thing.
Yeah, I showed him a clip of me riding.
-No. -At the rodeo.
No, sir. I told him, "Don't send me that. I don't want to see that."
That was a pretty badass video, though.
You are getting trampled by a living giant animal.
That's just… That's just life.
-You're stupid. -That's just life. I don't know.
I would prefer if you did nothing.
I know, but I'll lose my mind.
-Unfortunately. -I've lost my mind once already.
-Yeah, I remember. -A few times, actually.
I still worry, like, "Are you okay?"
Just because you say you're okay doesn't mean that's true.
Yeah. I'm… I'm good.
I think that, like… like, the darkest point
was, like, just so dark and, like, fucked up that, like,
getting out of that,
anything that happens just kind of is measured on this meter
that compares to that point in my life, and if it falls short,
then it just doesn't really affect me all that much, so…
What do you mean your darkest?
Like trying to get sober and, like, not being able to get sober,
and, like, just not really wanting to be here anymore.
And so…
What do you mean you don't wanna be here? You're gonna make me cry.
I didn't know that you were in that much pain.
-I don't want you to cry. -No.
Don't cry.
-No, I'd literally die without you. -It's all right.
And I understood that.
I understood how selfish that is on my end.
It's hurtful to know that someone you love is
in that much pain, and you haven't reached--
You know, done anything to help out, or you didn't know to help out.
Me and my sister are, like, pretty close, but, um…
I think my sister kind of like hearing more
about what I was going through,
or, you know, had went through, um, was news to her,
not because she hadn't been around or involved,
but because I don't really make it a point to kind of express my emotions
to people and, you know, even family.
And I think that that's just
a problem that I may have in life, is that I'd rather just keep it to myself
because I don't care to project my problems onto other people.
And, um, you know, it's nobody else's thing to fix but mine.
The last thing I need is a woman crying over my problems, you know.
But, like, I didn't let it be known, right?
I don't want anybody to feel bad, like, it's your guys' responsibility.
Not our responsibility? I changed your diapers at one point.
Well, shit. It's not like you wanted to do that either.
I raised you.
You also dropped me down a flight of stairs three times.
No, just off the bed. You fell.
-Okay? -Right, right.
But, like… …if it weren't for going through that,
I don't think I would be where I'm at right now
with just wanting to really take initiative in my life.
Well, I mean, it sounds like you shed a little bit of ego,
and for that I can be thankful for, but I still worry, like, "Are you okay?"
I feel good. I feel fucking unstoppable, honestly.
Okay, well, calm down, though.
Ah, it's true, though.
There's not a thing that I feel like I can't do or get through.
Man, to be a man at 23,
I hope my next life I come back as a beautiful man,
like, six feet tall, beautiful, yes.
-Six one. -Oh, oh!
-Six three in boots. -Correction.
Well, are you spending your summer with somebody special?
'Cause Mom says you've not been home.
I've been out trying to find that somebody special.
-Mm-hmm. -So it's hard, you know.
Listen, for you, you should have fun right now.
You should be honest about having fun, though.
You shouldn't be stringing girls along, lying to them.
No, hold on. I don't string them along saying,
"I'm gonna fall in love with you." Absolutely not.
No? You tell them, "I'm talking to you and three other people too"?
I don't even think it gets far enough for me to even establish
that I need to say something like that. Like, it's not that serious.
You just date. You go on dates. "I like you. I don't like you."
"Okay, great." Oh well, you know?
But you're supposed to do it with kindness.
All right, Dr. Phil.
Don't lie to people. Don't break anybody's hearts.
I mean, would you want someone to do that to me?
Sabrina, I'm 23. Like, come on. I'm not here to be Fix-it Felix, you know?
Well, you can be 23 and not a douchebag.
I wouldn't accept that from anyone at any age, you know.
Date with intention. Date with care.
I do date with intention.
It's not my fault that they fuck it up eight days later, you know?
Yeah. I love how it's everybody else.
What I'm saying is walk through this world being someone with honor,
being someone with care for others.
That's what you were raised to be.
That's what I still expect of you till this day, you know?
We're supposed to leave people better than how we found them, you know?
Be a man who does that.
-You can do that. -Yeah.
-Shake and bake. -My beanie, shake and bake.
-Thank you for my tea, by the way. -Just, um, Zelle me.
Oh.
Times are tough.
Even at the end Right back at the start
As you get to the heart of it
The air feels nice tonight
Moving closer, towards the light
Inside, it's coming alive…
I've got a little dog joke for y'all. What's a dog's favorite spot in the house?
-Mm, the kitchen? -It's not too hard.
-I'd like the kitchen if I were a dog. -The "woof"!
-All right. You leave. -Woof!
-You get out of here. You're done. -I gotta go.
-Ooh! -I need to go.
-Where's Raine? -It's Raine. It's raining.
We all should stay here and be mad at her.
-Only about 30 minutes late. -We should play the silent game.
-Let's not say nothing. Hey, Raine! -Oh my God.
-Hercy! -You're fashionably late.
Raine, we've been here for hours. All the dogs have been rescued.
-They're gone? -They're gone. All rescued.
-Guys, I'm always… -That's what I said.
I was so excited. I could hardly sleep last night.
So this is a habit. This is like one of your things.
-This is, if you can't tell by my shirt. -A habit? It's like a passion.
-"Hot girls rescue dogs." -If you can't tell by the shirt?
Ooh! "Hot girls rescue dogs."
-Do we have to adopt a dog? I can't. -Where do these dogs come from?
I think you might all have to adopt a dog.
Yeah, I call the shots
One, two, three, four
Hi, baby!
-Here they are. -Oh my God!
Hey, what's up, y'all?
Oh my goodness.
We're gonna do a doggy day out today.
Oh, wonderful.
If that's okay, we're gonna steal them for the day.
It's doggy days out. Let's get it.
Get energy, going zoom-zoom-za
Zoom-za, zoom-za
Who's back? Who's back?
Who's back? Yeah
So it's our first picnic and first vegan picnic.
-Aw. -Vegan picnic?
-So cute. -Vegan and picnic.
What did we get? Oh, we got açai bowls.
-Oh, yes. -I've had this before.
That's not vegan.
Is this cottage cheese on top?
-Yeah. -Have you had this, Raine?
I have.
-This is… -Ooh!
-Oh, that shit gas. -Let me try it.
Hercy's going vegan today.
Newest vegan in town.
I can't believe we're just learning about vegan food at the end of summer.
I know. I ain't gonna lie. Like, the summer, like, it's been great.
Like, came home. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do.
I had the whole journey of basketball in my mindset.
But people look at this situation like,
"You'll automatically get the year back. Your dad's Master P,
President of Basketball Operations."
NCAA's not gonna give me what I want because my dad's who he is.
-Yeah. -You probably can relate to that.
Like, your dad's the GOAT.
-The GOAT. -The GOAT.
-Bandana Man. -Bandana Man.
-Is that what they call him? -Do y'all parents got nicknames?
-Surgeon man. -Working man.
The working man! Holy shit.
-That's good. -I love.
That's crazy to think. Low-key, all of our parents are the same way.
It's like, in your heads, you think,
"Oh, I'mma grow up. I don't want my kid to do what I do."
But most of the time, your parents do want you to follow after them.
The same way his dad.
Yeah, whenever you're saying that, I'm like, honestly, relatable.
He will text me every once in a while and be like,
"Makin' money?" Like…
But ultimately, I feel like they all come from a place
of wanting to see their kid…
They do, yeah.
…comfortable and never struggle.
But it's kind of like, also, my dream might require a little struggling.
-Yeah, for sure. -Yeah. I love modeling.
I'll do it as long as I can,
but, yeah, at 25, you're pretty much old in the modeling industry.
Wait, so don't tell me that because I just joined.
-Yeah, but you look like you're like… -So do you!
Please. I need Botox. Stat.
Same. Stat.
No. Y'all don't need none of that shit. Y'all don't need none of that.
I think it's cool that you're realizing maybe this is not going to be forever,
and you know that.
-I went into it knowing that. -Yeah.
-That's why I want to start a dog rescue. -Oh my God.
-We have two dogs to start. -I know, right?
-She's vegan too. -Super vegan.
She's vegan now.
This summer is definitely gonna be a summer to remember.
I think we gotta end this summer with something crazy.
-Okay. -We could get a beach house.
-Sick. -Sleepover with everybody.
That would be fun.
We could do a night in the beach house. We could do a dinner.
In Malibu?
Yeah. So you have to bring your plus one and let her know.
-Oh, I have to bring Brynn. -Yeah.
Oh my God. Mm! Yeah, we've been dying to meet her.
It has to happen.
This fake girlfriend of yours. We need to meet her in person.
I'm excited to introduce Brynn to the whole friend group,
but, like, worst-case scenario, I think, would be
like, her just instantly hating everybody and just being turned off,
and kind of just by herself in the corner, where I feel she doesn't want to be there.
And I just kind of feel a burden to, like, "It's okay, Brynn. We can leave."
Because I'm truthfully excited for this
because it's going to be a fun, like, end of summer,
and so I want her to feel the same.
-She's coming, 100%. -Oh my God, I'd love that.
-Drama aside. We invite everyone? -Everybody's coming.
-Where my son at? Oh… -It sees another dog.
Why are you freaking out?
You guys are gonna be good guard dogs.
I'm a now or never kinda girl
I'm a trendsetter, go-getter Top of the world
Oh
I'll do as I please When I count to three
I'mma do it just like that
Da-da-da-da
Just like that, da-da-da-da
-Hey! How are you? -Hi! Thank God, someone is here.
-How are you? -Good! You?
-You look so… Oh, my dress is falling. -I know.
Look at you making your entrance.
-Oh my God. The view! -Right?
-It's so pretty! -I know.
Oh
-Hey! Holy s…! -Oh my God! This is nice.
-The lighting is… fire! -Yeah, right?
Is anyone here?
Hello?
-Holy cow. There's nine dining rooms? -Oh, there's name tags.
Am I…? Okay.
I was making sure I was sitting next to you, or I'd be upset.
On the opposite side.
Oh my…
Hey
Welcome to the bungalow, yeah
Ooh! My room look real good, y'all.
Welcome to our crib.
-Welcome home, son. -Oh! Welcome to our crib, you mean?
Yeah!
This room big enough for all of us.
I'm gonna put y'all here, right? And I'mma just…
Yeah…
What the--
What?
Y'all, what's up with y'all? Y'all lucky.
Y'all never heard, "Don't scare a Black person"?
I felt like number one
I can't be friends with everyone…
All of the people, beautiful people
Summer's on your side
Digging on your vibe
Look how you sparkle, beautiful people
Summer's on your side Your soul is made of light
-Happy end of… Thank you for cheering. -Welcome to the party!
Hi, guys!
Welcome! You hear the pool calling us?
Oh my gosh.
-How are you? -Good.
-This is Brynn. -Hi. I'm Suede.
I'm Brynn. Nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you. I've heard amazing things.
…getting in way over my head
Dive deeper when the lights flash…
Hi!
Hi, Emma!
Hey.
Wow. This view is insane.
-Hi, how are you? -Gorgeous.
-Literally, what a view. -Hi. How are you?
Good, how are you?
We're so bougie.
It's just another crush
When you look my way
When you say my name
Like you know what it does…
Hey! Welcome!
Hey!
When you raise the stakes When you're in my space…
-Look at you. -Cute.
Like something from above It's just another crush
It's a rhythm when you break my heart
I'm still breathing When you count it all
One, two, three, and you tear me apart
I ain't livin' When the drumrolls start
-Hey, you. -Hey, you.
-How are you? -I'm good. How are you?
-Just vibing. -Yeah?
Living my best life.
-I see that. -Trying. Cheers.
-Salud. -I'm happy you made it.
Honestly, I love it here. We've been here for 10 minutes, already got caviar.
You know, end of the summer, that's kind of my vibe.
You're not going to recognize me.
If I'm ever gonna live It's your decision
-Oh, I like this size of a bump. Cheers. -Yeah, let's get weird.
I can't believe this is the first time we're meeting Brynn.
It feels like we've always been saying that.
I don't know anything about her other than she was on Dance Moms.
-Oh really? -Yeah, no, she's the shit.
Right?
Maybe I'll have her teach me how to dance.
-You could use a lesson. -Nah. Yeah, I could use a lesson.
I wonder if Sterling knows how to dance.
Sterling, do you know how to dance?
-Oh. -Did you teach him anything?
-Were you guessing if I could dance? -He actually has good rhythm.
-We can swing dance. -We swing dance.
Oh, good.
-And, like, the Renegade? -Well…
-How do you do it? -Oh no.
Don't act like you don't know. He's like, "Wait, how do you do it?"
-You know it. I don't even know it. -I don't.
-Yeah, but we can swing dance. -We can.
Show us something!
Alexa, play Spotify.
-We can tango. -Romantic music comes on.
We can-- Oh!
He's spawning. There he is.
-How are you? -I'm good. How are you?
-Nice to finally meet you. -I know. Finally.
Brynnderella?
You didn't hop on the suit memo, but that's all right.
-Oh, was there a memo for suits? -No.
I heard "dress cool."
Dress cool. "I heard dress cool."
-Did you pick that out for him? -We actually went to the store.
And he bought this. I thought it was cool.
-Yeah, it's nice. -If you're going to a skate park.
-Cheers. -Salud. Cheers. Good to see you.
-Cheers. -I'm going to go outside.
Five, four, three, three, three, three,
three, two, one!
-Oh, she got it down! -And did.
-You're talking to a retired frat girl.
I mean, are you even really retired?
-I know. -We still going.
So what have you been up to? Been good?
-Yeah. Just working, riding. -I feel you.
So where do you stand with me?
Um…
-I'm just checking. -Yeah. A little check-in. I like this.
Just make sure you don't have a change of heart.
Um…
I don't know.
-Hey, dinner time, y'all. Let's go. -Ooh. Perfect timing.
-I've got the biggest appetite now. -Cheers.
What have they got? It's time to eat!
I'm so glad we're next to each other.
A toast.
There we go.
I'm so happy that we were all able to make this work.
I know things can be a little hostile between us,
but it's so much love.
-Aww. -And I think this proves it.
How we can get together and spend a little cheddar
and have a good fucking night.
-A lot of cheddar. -We put it on your Amex.
Oh fuck.
Let's enjoy supper.
Shots. Where are the dancers at?
Messy Pressy!
Anybody else want to say something?
No.
There's wood ships and good ships, and ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
Who wrote that?
ChatGPT.
Really had to make it.
Okay. Guys.
Attention.
Not the vase.
We're gonna be playing a family game. Okay?
-Oh, I hate games. -A game called Rose and Thorn.
So you're gonna say your Rose, and you're gonna say your Thorn.
Wait, what?
You say your highs and lows of the summertime.
-Okay. -Okay?
-Okay. -You following? Okay.
-I don't want to do this. -Everyone quiet.
Okay, I'll start.
My Rose would definitely be meeting Dylan.
-100%. -Cute.
You're welcome.
And I think my Thorn…
-Would be meeting Dylan. -Would be it not working out.
-Aww. -It's sad, but…
-I got you, twin. -Oh, she hit him with a fist bump.
He didn't want the fist bump.
So that's my Rose and my Thorn.
-There's hope. -Okay.
Next person up?
Okay. I feel like my Rose was, honestly,
building a stronger friendship with Nicole.
My Thorn this summer is, unfortunately, you see the true colors in people.
And that was a rude awakening this summer.
I didn't expect people to be as ugly on the inside.
Shit, amen.
Um, that's okay. And that was my Thorn.
-I love you, Jemma. My wife! -Thank you.
My Rose would be my new best friend.
-Aww! My God. Ditto. -Raine and I are very close.
Um, and then my Thorn would be
Preston promised to take me on a date all summer and never did.
Oh shit! Oh my God!
Wait. Are you putting Preston in the hot seat? Don't do that. Next!
Oh, it's me? Okay.
You're gonna do your Rose and then your Thorn.
I'd say my Rose is, honestly, right now,
I think it's such a lovely dinner and getting everyone together.
And also meeting Ben.
-Love it. -There you go.
-I was gonna say… -Which one's better?
-Uh, Ben. -Love it.
And my Thorn would probably be that summer's about to end.
-But there's a lot to look forward to. -Agreed. That was good.
-Well said. -Hercy. What's your Rose and your Thorn?
My Rose is creating the real friendships, memories, and everything.
I'll never forget this summer. Never forget the time we spent together.
My Thorn is, actually recently, my, uh…
This whole summer I've been trying to pray on getting my year back
to be able to play for my dad,
but I heard back from NCAA. So I'm not getting my year back.
So basketball is over with for me.
It's been tough. I grew up my whole life playing basketball, so it's just…
definitely a sensitive topic.
We're sorry.
-We all love you. -God has so much in store for you.
And you have a great group of friends that support you.
Love y'all.
-Love you, Hercy. -Love you.
Hercy, let's not act like you're not a man of many talents.
Facts.
You're a businessman like your daddy. Be proud of it. Okay?
My boy!
-Oh, is it my turn? Do I have to go? -It's your turn to go. Oh!
Um, I think my Rose this summer was moving back to Calabasas.
And it was just so much fun.
Um, I think my Thorn is also moving back to Calabasas.
There's a lot of shit that goes down here that I forgot about,
but hopefully, another Rose, we can try to make it through,
like we have tonight, so… I love you guys.
Love you, Nicole!
Thank you, guys.
-Aw. Right there, right there. -That one hit.
Uh, let's see. My Rose was, um,
probably being able to see old faces and new faces,
and be able to…
be around each other and have nobody die. That's pretty cool.
-Um… -Okay. Die…
No, you know, it was a rocky road.
But we're all sitting here, and it's nice, and we get to enjoy this.
So that's for sure a highlight.
I think my Thorn was probably getting broken up with twice by Suede.
But… that just sucked.
I'm trying to be friends with Suede.
I'm trying. I'm trying to. It's fucking hard.
The hard part is that the friends that I try to make with girls
are like the hottest ones.
Anyways, look, we're here now. All right, guys. One last toast.
-Cheers to the best summer. -Thank you.
-Best summer ever. -Cheers.
Go, go, go! Go, go, go, go!
Are you having fun?
Kind of.
Yeah.
I guess I'm still confused what the dynamic is.
So am I. It's been a whole summer. But also, the dynamic, like, shifts.
It's funny, like,
they're all just, like, throwing shots at each other.
It's so uncomfortable. I'm just like…
You're probably so lost, like, "Who doesn't like who? What's the vibe?"
I'm, like, so lost, and I'm like what the f…?
-Do you feel awkward? -"Yeah, it's fine." A little, yeah.
I feel like it's, like, self-explanatory.
No, I get it. I'm like, "What would help? What could I do?"
Nothing. I don't know if I could relate to anybody here. I feel so out of place.
But, hopefully, that changes tonight. You know?
I was just talking to Preston about things 'cause I'm feeling, like, a little guilty.
Why?
Because she, like, smashed Dylan.
And now that everyone's like, "Maybe you were right,"
now she wants to have a conversation with him.
I just feel like I haven't really spoken to him all summer.
I've just been talking to everyone else.
And it's like, me and him had that conversation
when he first got to my house,
and I was already in it with, like, "I hate you. You're a piece of shit."
"You've done fucked-up things."
And I just have rolled with that the whole summer.
But now I feel bad about that because at the end of the day,
I wanted everyone to give me a fresh clean slate,
and I didn't give him that.
I get it. Also by the way, he might not want to talk to you.
You're setting yourself to get shot in the foot too.
-I know. -It's just risky.
Hercy!
-You decent? -We're coming in.
Hercy, if you're sad, we have something to cheer you up.
Ooh!
Two bombshells into the villa.
One with big tits and one with…
an Aperol.
-Oh, you already cheered me up already. -Aww, Hercy!
-Are y'all getting in the water? -We love you.
-Are we getting in? -Um, maybe in a little bit.
-We wanted to check on you. -"Where'd Hercy go?"
-I needed time to myself a bit. -Can we come in? Are we allowed?
That's good. I appreciate y'all.
Y'all gave me words, you know, that really built me up.
That's big for me. I've been playing basketball my whole life.
Would've been able to play for my dad, against my brothers.
But it's just sad to think, like, school started today.
-And it's like… -Right.
-That's tough, a big change. -It's official. Yeah.
-I'm sorry. -We're here for you. We love you.
Any other person right now would feel like their world's over, shut down.
And I think too it's just like me being around everyone, all my friends,
it helped me to know that there's more to it than just basketball.
It is my love. It is my passion.
But it's like, there's other things I have love for too.
So I don't feel like it's the end of Hercy.
It's just, I'm not going to be hooping and going towards the goal I expected.
So it's just a different path. It's just… I don't know.
It ain't over, though. Ain't no limits to what I can do.
We're happy you can stay for a bit longer because you'd be gone.
Hey, now y'all gotta see me. I'm in Calabasas now. I'm back.
-Hey! -I'm back.
-And basketball's not over. -Yeah…
I mean, Raine and I could play a mean game of HORSE, perhaps.
Okay, okay.
Y'all can stay for the show. It's time for me to get in my trunks.
-So if y'all want to… -I'm intrigued.
-I'm sat. -I'm sat.
Wow.
-Are we gonna jump first? -Are we all gonna jump?
Dude, like, zip line here to that rock.
-Would be so lit. -Yes. Like, yes.
I'm there.
-One bad step, and you guys are… in there. -Okay. Can I talk to you for a second?
-Oh God. -Please?
-Come on. -You too?
-No, just me. -No, I'm just… Come on.
-Just go with her. -All right.
Great.
-Oh please. -Please?
You don't have the cleanest track record when it comes to talking.
Really?
Come join us, Ster.
Ster!
-I didn't mean to interrupt. -Never. No.
-You're never interrupting. -I didn't mean to.
-You are more than a joy. -Okay.
-You're always welcome. -Always.
-Come on. -I'll sit here.
Come on. We're having a conversation.
Don't be weird. Like, let's have a mature conversation.
Look, I'm… I'm all ears.
Okay.
So, I feel like this has been a long time coming.
I've been wanting to have a conversation with you.
I don't know if you've been wanting to have a conversation with me.
-Someone's done a bit too much yapping. -Um, um, um, um, um…
-What's going on? -I don't know. She's over there yapping.
Go eavesdrop. Go!
-This is good. -This is great.
I'm not gonna do that. I'll wait for you to be capable of doing that.
Want a mature conversation? Let's have a mature conversation.
Not gonna have a conversation like how you had it with Emilie.
Not gonna have a conversation like how you came at me at the rooftop.
And I'm not gonna be in a screaming match with somebody.
It's like, no. Let alone a pissed-off, heated version of you.
But I get it. Like, you're mad at me. That's fine. When you're ready…
I'm not. But that's the thing. I'm not mad.
-I want-- -Upset.
No, I'm not upset, but it frustrates me to see you running around happy
when I'm still dealing with the effects of what happened to me.
Jemma, I went through hell and back a year ago.
So, yeah, I am fucking happy that right now I am clean,
and that I can be comfortable in my own skin, and I'm not insecure.
But you're sitting here trying to project this thing
about me being happy and saying, "Fuck you."
"You don't matter." That's not the case at all.
Dylan, that's… that's not it either.
Because you can be like,
"Oh, it's whatever. I was a shitty person."
But who was the person you'd call when you'd run away from home?
Who was the person you'd call when you were down?
-And you were-- Yeah. -It's me.
And I… I get that.
And, like, looking back at it, like, I wasn't a kid who loved myself.
So how could I have loved anybody around me?
-Hurt people hurt people. -Yeah.
I was a kid that was hurt, and I was pissed off.
And I-- You're one of the many--
And not to put it on a scale here, but I've hurt people way worse.
Mm-hmm.
I want you to know it's hard for me to hate you. I don't want to hate you.
I honestly had a lot of love for you.
-Yeah. -And so it's hard for me to hate you.
-It is. -Yeah.
And so it's just confusing for me
because it's like, there's such a thin line
with hate and, like, love.
And I feel like you were the first person I ever felt that for,
and so it's hard for me to handle that.
Of course I have love for you.
And I'm telling you I'm sorry.
-I truly am. I'm sorry. Like I-- -Yeah.
I, honest to God, like, am,
because you were just a victim of my own mental warfare.
-Mm-hmm. -And that's it.
-I appreciate that. -Trust me…
There was no malicious intent behind hurting you.
If I'd known that in
ten years from that hookup, we would be in the spot that we're in now,
I would have never done it.
I know a version of Jemma that, like,
can laugh and, like, enjoy a moment and people, you know.
I've lived with guilt. I still live with guilt.
But I just hope she can get back to that point
in her life where, like, you know, she can be all right.
-Thank you. I appreciate it. -Yeah. I hope you accept my apology.
I think I needed to hear an apology from you.
I needed some sort of like, "Okay, he feels bad for the things he's done."
I-- I definitely do.
Yeah. I think that's why I wanted to have this conversation
'cause I feel like I'm holding on to, like, a version of you
that doesn't exist anymore.
And so I'm willing to make the change and the effort,
and I will stop slandering your name.
Mm-hmm.
I just want us to now start as friends.
Like, can we just almost start fresh?
Absolutely.
I'm Jemma.
-I don't know your name. I'm Jemma. -Oh, I'm Malibu's Cowboy.
Oh, okay.
Come on, bring it in. I hate seeing people cry.
-I'm getting good vibes. -They're kissing.
Okay.
-War is over -Oh my God!
Jemma!
I'm feeling a lot of closure.
I didn't have the opportunity
to kind of handle and deal with the things that happened to me in high school,
but it needed to happen. I think I healed a lot.
And I'm honestly surprised with Dylan.
If you told me at the beginning of this that I'd say Dylan has changed,
I think I would probably have, like, laughed in your face, like, "Fuck you."
But you know what? Like… this is what life is all about.
I think sometimes I can hold grudges, and I do know that.
And I think this summer I was forced to just
take accountability, understand my feelings, and then let go.
-Closure. -Closure.
Cheers to that, guys.
Right?
You deserve that.
God forbid we're becoming friends.
What if it all works out
Oh
What if it all works out
Yeah.
Hey. What's up?
Hi.
What can I do you for?
-How are you? -Good. You?
-Okay. -Oh. No, we're good.
Good morning! Rise and shine! Good morning, kids!
The sun is shining
-Come to me. -I'm feeling fine, yeah
-I got no worries on my mind -On my mind
-Anyone else have a headache? -Feel that.
There was noise going on last night…
-Ooh. -Who are you talking about?
-I don't know what I heard… -A little "one-too"?
-Someone was getting rowdy. -I heard someone go, "Preston!"
No, you didn't!
I'm feeling fine
Show me them teeths.
My crooked teeth?
I've been taking so many pictures of this place.
Like, "Holy cow."
-Are you okay? -Yeah.
-Have you had fun? -Yeah, I have.
-Did you? -You're not very convincing.
-I did have fun. -Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
I was so excited for you to finally come
because I thought it was way more fun with you there.
I don't want to take away anything.
-That's why I feel bad. -No, you're not. This is…
Stop, baby. Stop.
Like, I'm so happy for you.
But, like, I just, like, couldn't, like, relate to anything.
Do you feel like I fit in with them, and you don't? Or, like, what?
I don't know.
Don't want you to think I'm running off with this friend group,
leaving you behind. That's not my goal.
I know.
I feel bad sometimes, especially 'cause he's newer to here,
and, like, I feel like I've been in and out of it my whole entire life.
So, like, he'll be really excited about something,
and sometimes I'll second-guess it, and then he'll take it as like,
"I feel like you're not that happy for me."
But it's not that. I just don't ever want anybody to, like…
like, take advantage of him.
It, like, makes me so sad when he feels, like, defeated or whatever.
And so, I know there's been a couple times
after he's, like, hanging out with them,
and he just feels like, he's like, "Yeah, I'm just kind of there,
and, like, nobody ever asks me about myself."
"I'm just always asking people about their lives."
And I don't want him to ever feel that way because, like…
yeah, he's just, like, so pure.
Obviously, how you feel is important.
But in my head, there'd be a way where we can all just, like, have fun,
and, like, I don't know.
-I love you. I'm so glad you came. -Yeah, I love you too.
Life is all right. Look at where we are.
What do you got going on today?
Well, I just woke up.
-I wanna go to the water. -I want to go down too.
Should we go down together? Is that too romantic?
Um, you can call the shots around here.
-I'm curious. -Why?
What you've been doing without me around now.
-What are you trying to get at? -I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know either.
The door's closed, but it might be open, but it's closed.
But I also don't want you to go fuck one of my best friends.
Shocking news! Jemma's hungover today
and needs to hide it.
Let's go down to the beach. Let's go on a walk.
-I'm down. -Yeah.
You should go get changed.
Or just go with nothing.
-I'm fine with that too. -Dylan.
Oh my God, you guys, it's like our own private beach.
-Wow, what a beautiful day! -Wow, this is so pretty.
Hey, keep it down!
-Flex it. -I'm the lifeguard.
This ain't just a summer love
Hold that thought, save that tag We've got better things to do
Dim the lights, get it right We could come up with the truth
You're my guy, I'm your girl
See our bodies spin and swirl…
Summer!
One, two, three, hit.
So major.
Need help with your towel?
It's okay.
I'm with people, and I feel so alone.
I might as well just actually be alone. It's just a form of self-sabotage.
It's like if I cut off everybody before they can cut me off,
then it didn't count, right?
It's so nice out.
I like Emilie.
I think she can be fun. I think she can be sweet.
I just think, like, it got a little bit weird,
like, once a boy came in the mix.
Him and his girlfriend broke up a day before the rooftop party.
And Emilie doesn't know that. And I know that. He knows I know that.
And she lives in New York, not that it's gonna matter.
If Ben has put a ring on it with Emilie by then,
it's not gonna matter to this girl,
but it's like, him being like, "Don't tell her."
It's like,"Bro, like, shit gets unfolded."
Everybody that you're hiding shit from is gonna figure out all of anything.
I feel like, I don't know, I may be destined to, like, make other friends.
We've been hanging out so much and having fun.
Right.
But I'm gonna be really bummed when you leave.
And I feel like you just get me really well.
It feels like I've known you for years, even though we've literally just met.
I kind of am falling in love with you a bit.
And, like, you have to come visit me in New York.
-And, like… -Really?
-That's when you say, "Me too." -No, I thought it was obvious.
Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed.
No, I feel like I honestly haven't felt so strongly for someone
in, like, a really long time.
I've really been falling in love with you too,
but I was really scared to say anything because you're leaving,
and I knew that you didn't really want anything.
-Right. -And then I was like, "Oh."
But now you have a place to stay.
-And you have to come. -So I'm invited to New York?
Yeah, you have to. You're invited. There's no option.
-Okay. I'll take the first flight. -You have to come.
-Yeah. Move me in. -That went a lot better than I thought.
I cannot escape
All of the things you do…
-I like your shirt. Messy Pressy. -Thanks.
-How are you feeling? -I feel good.
This is the first time I've talked to you since the fair conversation,
and I don't know why you're avoiding me.
-I'm… I apologize. -But, like, why?
-Are you just uncomfortable with me now? -No, it wasn't, like, an uncomfort thing.
Honestly, I feel like we're both super mature,
and I feel like our friendship is gonna
surpass anything that could possibly go wrong.
I feel like we have so much love for each other.
I feel like the group setting made it weird to even explore that.
So I think we need to explore this without everyone, you know?
I agree. I agree.
Well, you know, I'm going to Miami in a couple of days.
-Do you want me to come? -I want you to go.
We go from there. We get good one-on-one quality time together.
And then I think we assess from there, but don't tell anyone.
Did you say, "We have sex from there?" What did you say?
"Assess from there."
-I was like, "Okay." -Hey, yo, where's your head at?
Sorry, the waves fucked me.
-Guys, how is summer already over? -I know.
I can't believe it.
-It all comes to an end, guys. -I'm sad.
Bittersweet.
I feel like we're like in high school and have to go back to school next week.
-Right? -I'm like, "Please, no."
-Hey, y'all. -Hey!
-Hercy! -Let's not just lay here.
-Come on. -Yeah!
-He's up. Who with me? Come on. -Are we all going in?
-Come on. -All the way?
-The water is coming up to us. -Just get your feet in. Come on.
-Jemma] Oh my God. -Yay!
Six hundred dollars to fix my car
Worth every penny to get to you
I was really hesitant on wanting to come back
into a high school friend group, or just people that I knew,
just because they knew this version of me, and kinda worried
if they were going to let me breathe,
or if they were gonna, you know, hold me to it.
I learned a lot about myself, about who I wanted to be,
and I'm in control of my fate.
Lovin' you is just like Sipping on straight syrup…
What's up, homie?
Hi.
You don't need to have hate in your heart or weight on your shoulders
when it's not needed.
-Was that a fun summer? -Yeah, it was.
It really sparked some shit.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And, um, there's no need to hold onto things
that once were and just focus on what is and what can be.
I can't sleep, can you come over?
God, I miss my Cherry Cola
I miss my, miss my, miss my, I miss my
Yes, I miss my Cherry Cola
I miss my, miss my, miss my, I miss my
I miss, I miss my Cherry Cola
Ooh
I miss my
I miss my, I miss my rry Cola
