Hey, it's your boy McEnroe again.
β
Now, you may be wondering
β
did Devi redecorate and become a super fan
of the classic rock power-group,
β
The Doobie Brothers?
β
Not quite.
β
A week ago, Devi and her mom
had an epic blowout
β
after Nalini said
they were relocating to India.
β
You remember,
the fight where Devi said this:
β
I wish you were the one
that died that night.
β
After dropping that bomb,
β
Devi decided
she had to move out of the house
β
β
β
before her mom had a chance
to move her across the globe.
β
But where to go?
β
She wasn't really on speaking terms
with her two best friends,
β
and it would be psycho
to ask a guy she's only kissed once
β
if she could live with him.
β
So there's really only one person left.
β
Hey, David.
β
Um, did something kinda weird happen?
Or did I do something dumb at my party?
β
He's talking about this:
β
- Whoa. Were you just trying to kiss me?
- Uh...
β
And then four seconds later, this:
β
Ben, what the hell?
β
Anyway, if I did,
that was just alcohol doing its thang.
β
So I... I hope that
you're not feeling weird, or awkward,
β
β
β
- because I...
- Can I move in with you?
β
Ben's parents were surprisingly
cool about letting Devi move in.
β
Their only concern was
that their last boarder,
β
a Greek foreign-exchange student
named Stavros,
β
had robbed them
and tried to seduce Ben's mother.
β
Devi promised she would do neither,
β
and was invited to stay
in their rock-and-roll themed guest room.
β
So now Devi got ready for school
under the soulful gaze
β
of Howard Gross's favorite clients.
β
- Good morning.
- Morning.
β
Good morning, Devi.
β
I have made your favorite:
β
- Meat lover's omelet.
- Thank you, Patty.
β
Here's number one million and one
of the things
β
I couldn't get if I moved to India...
β
'cause nobody eats meat there.
β
Well, actually,
that's a common misconception.
β
Only about 20 to 30 percent
of the population in India
β
are truly vegetarian.
β
I did an extra-credit report
β
for World History on the cuisines
of South Asia.
β
Suck-up.
β
You know, I would've run away earlier
β
if I'd known I'd get to use a bathroom
with a TV in it.
β
Yeah. I like to watch Billions
in the bath.
β
Mmm.
β
- Have you heard from your mom?
- No.
β
Honestly, I'm surprised
she hasn't had the police come over here
β
to drag you home.
β
I'm not sure she wants me back.
β
I mean, I'm like the only Indian child
ever to run away from home
β
aside from Mowgli.
β
Mowgli didn't run away.
He was lost after a tiger attack.
β
What? I'm a reader.
β
Look, maybe you should just apologize.
β
Why should I apologize?
β
She is the one who's ruining my life
by moving me to India.
β
I never even got to go to Coachella, Ben.
β
India is not that different
from Coachella.
β
It's crowded, dusty.
Diplo's sort of around.
β
Forget it. I'm not going.
β
You could ask my dad to help you
emancipate yourself like a child actor.
β
It usually goes pretty well for them.
You're looking to get into meth, right?
β
- Hello, Devi.
- Jesus! Kamala, what the hell?
β
I'm sorry. I've been told before
β
that my light tread is too elegant
to be detected by the human ear.
β
What are you doing here?
β
I thought you might need
some things from home.
β
It seemed like you packed in haste.
β
Yeah. I've been using
Ben's deodorant all week.
β
So, do you think
you might return home sometime soon?
β
It's not as much fun
watching 90 Day Fiancé
β
without your color commentary
about all the, quote, "delusional uggos."
β
I don't know, Kamala.
β
Your mother also misses you a lot.
β
Did she say that?
β
Not in words,
β
but I did see her hesitate when
she threw out all your favorite snacks.
β
So, is it nice over at Ben's?
β
It's friggin' luxurious.
β
They have a pool. They have a gym.
β
They use hella cushy soft toilet paper.
β
Not that one-ply trash Mom buys.
β
And they let me use the dishwasher.
β
I'm sure if you came home,
β
I could convince your mother
to let you run the dishwasher once.
β
Oh! Which home?
β
The one here,
or the one I'm being dragged to in India?
β
Obviously, you won't need a dishwasher
in India because you'll have servants.
β
Please just tell my mom
I'm not coming home
β
until she promises not to move.
β
Hello. You're beautiful. Are you new here?
β
Uh... excuse me?
β
I'm Eric,
a very popular and handsome jock.
β
Would you like to be my girlfriend?
β
Eric, get out of here.
β
I totally get it. Have a good day.
β
Hello, Arlene, this is Nalini Vishwakumar.
β
Oh, of course. Hello!
β
Oh. How's that classic three and two?
β
- It's fine.
- Fine?
β
Sounds like it's time for you guys
to upgrade to a four and three,
β
and I have new listing off of Moorpark
β
with the most beautiful en suite
you have ever seen in your life.
β
And you tell Mohan it's got a rain shower.
β
I would, but, um... sadly,
he passed away eight months ago.
β
Oh, my God!
β
Oh, I am so sorry.
β
Thank you,
and that's actually why I'm calling.
β
I have decided to move
my daughter and I back to India,
β
and, um, I'm looking to put my house
on the market.
β
Uh, okay, sure. I'll get right on it.
β
- Thank you.
- But it is such a shame, you know?
β
Mohan really loved that house.
β
Can you believe it?
β
Wow. This is perfect.
β
Does it get any more Southern California
than this?
β
It's 90210, baby.
β
Actually, it's 91403.
β
A higher number. Even better!
β
How come in all the movies about Hollywood
β
no one mentions
how many spiders live here?
β
Forget about the spiders
and look at the house.
β
We could plant a little garden here,
β
grow fresh tomatoes for thakkali sambar,
β
and our children could get married
right here on this lawn.
β
And when we grow old,
we can sit on the porch
β
and shake our fists at the skateboarders.
β
I do like to shake my fist.
β
So, you thinking this is the one, folks?
β
Yes.
β
Yes, this is our home.
β
Wonderful! I'll get started
on the paperwork.
β
Welcome to the Valley, folks,
β
LA's responsible sister.
β
Oh, my gosh. What is this song?
β
It's a sign. It is a beautiful day!
β
Arlene, can you please turn up that music?
β
Sure.
β
This is my new favorite song.
β
No!
β
Devi had hoped that
kissing Paxton wasn't a one-time thing,
β
but ever since he showed up at her house,
β
he had been a little bit,
how do you say… distant?
β
Hey. I haven't seen you all week.
β
Yeah, I've been busy.
β
Cool.
β
So listen, I'm sorry my mom
was so crazy to you the other day.
β
It's fine.
I don't really care what your mom thinks.
β
Totally.
β
I mean, honestly, I got
into a huge fight with her after that.
β
Listen, I need to get to class.
β
For sure, uh, but would you maybe
wanna hang out after school or something?
β
I don't know. I, like, have a lot going on
with swimming and stuff.
β
Oh, God.
β
Get out of there, Devi.
This is a classic brush-off.
β
Cool. Well, if you change your mind
or anything...
β
Hey, move it along. We do not give grades
for hallway loitering.
β
Go learn something.
β
Okay. Here you go.
β
What's the point
of all the ceramics in here?
β
Just to make the place seem homier.
β
Make my patients feel
a little more comfortable.
β
Strange.
β
So, I'm glad you came in today.
β
I mean, I didn't think you were someone
who believed in therapy.
β
I don't. It's for white people.
β
I mean, clearly,
there are some exceptions.
β
I am not quite sure what to make of that,
so I'm gonna ignore it.
β
What I do want to talk about
is Devi's progress.
β
Yeah.
β
- I'm concerned.
- Yeah, me too.
β
I told her we were moving us
back to India,
β
and she ran away to live with a family
β
who apparently run their dishwasher
day and night.
β
- Wait. You're moving back to India?
- Yeah, we have to.
β
Devi is out of control. She needs to be
in an environment that values discipline.
β
Sure, but changing your geography
β
won't necessarily change the problems
that Devi is dealing with.
β
Well, I'm certainly not fixing them here
on my own.
β
I know that I'm not as good as Mohan,
β
but I am trying.
β
You must miss him a lot.
β
How are you handling your grief?
β
Oh, you know what?
I am not falling for this one.
β
I'm here to talk about my daughter
who wishes I were dead.
β
- I don't think that's true.
- That is true.
β
She said, quote,
"I wish you were the one who had died."
β
And that she didn't think I liked her.
β
Why do you think Devi feels that way?
β
Because I'm tough on her.
β
I am. I know that.
β
But it's only because I am scared...
all the time.
β
When she couldn't walk, I, um...
β
You don't always have to be so strong.
β
I mean, it might help her to know
that you're also struggling.
β
Come on.
β
What good would that do? Huh?
β
Have you considered falling apart
might actually be the thing that...
β
brings your family back together?
β
Tomorrow is Mohan's birthday.
β
He'd be so sad if he knew
we weren't speaking.
β
These ceramics are quite comforting.
β
For white people too.
β
All right.
Trent thinks he can eat an...
β
- No, I know.
- No, you think...
β
In one bite, in one bite... Prove it!
β
- Are you guys ready? 'Cause I'm ready.
- Prove it. Go ahead.
β
Do it. Stuff it! Stuff it! Stuff it!
β
Get it in there. Yes!
β
Devi, you have a visitor.
β
Paxton?
β
Oh, Miss Vivian does not allow
any sugar in the house.
β
- She's on keto diet and...
- Just take it.
β
What are you doing here?
β
I'm here because... um...
β
even though your behavior
has been outrageous
β
and incredibly disrespectful, I...
β
I don't want us to fight anymore.
β
Today is your father's birthday, and...
β
I think it's time for us
to scatter his ashes.
β
Would you do that with me?
β
You want to spread his ashes?
β
Why does it have to be today?
β
Because it's his birthday,
β
and we probably should have
done it a long time ago.
β
Or maybe it's because you want to do
some spring cleaning
β
before uprooting the whole family,
β
and you're trying to get rid
of unnecessary junk like Dad.
β
Devi, that's, that's unkind.
I... I wanted us to do this together.
β
Well, you can count me out.
β
I'm not Marie Kondo-ing
members of this family
β
for your dumb India move.
β
Okay.
β
Like I said...
β
I don't want to fight with you.
β
If you change your mind,
Kamala and I are leaving the house
β
for Malibu at 5:00 p.m.
β
God, Dad, you have great flexibility.
β
Make sure you drink
a lot of water today, okay?
β
Sure thing, champ.
β
Excuse me. I don't mean to intrude,
but, Mr. Gross sir,
β
I was wondering if you could help me
become emancipated from my mother.
β
What? Devi, I was joking
when I said that.
β
I know, but now it seems like
a good option for me.
β
It's a bit hard to do, sweetie.
β
Are you financially independent?
β
No, but I think my friend Rebecca
could get me a job at Old Navy.
β
Let me look into it,
and, uh, I'll see what I can do.
β
No, Dad, she didn't mean it.
β
Can I talk to you?
β
Thank you, Mr. Gross.
β
Devi, what's going on?
β
My mom just came in here
and was being all like,
β
"I don't wanna fight anymore.
β
Come spread you dad's ashes with me
at the beach."
β
Isn't that a good thing?
β
No, it's a ploy to get me back
so that I have to move to India with her.
β
And honestly, I can't believe
she's using my dad's ashes like that.
β
That's, like, immoral.
β
So you're not going to spread
your dad's ashes?
β
Nope. I'm not falling for her tricks.
β
I really think you should talk to her
and clear this up.
β
I don't negotiate with terrorists, Ben.
β
And honestly,
I'm mature enough to be on my own.
β
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna Google how to buy a credit card.
β
I really only thought
I'd be buying two Frappuccinos
β
since I only asked two of you here.
β
Don't be cheap, Ben.
β
If you need to talk to us that urgently,
you can also afford to hydrate our lovers.
β
Fine. Why does the robot need a coffee?
β
Uh, have you not seen Westworld?
β
He doesn't know he's a robot.
β
Here you go, Gears.
β
Thank you. Boy, am I thirsty.
β
So what's this about?
β
Your blazer makes me think you're trying
to rope us into a pyramid scheme.
β
So, what is it?
β
I'm really worried about Devi.
β
Listen, I'm sorry, Ben,
β
but Eleanor and I are on a friend break
with Devi right now.
β
So I guess you'll just have
to figure it out on your own.
β
There's no such thing as a friend break.
You're either friends, or you're not.
β
And Devi needs you.
β
I don't know how much you've heard,
but she ran away from home.
β
- She's trying to emancipate herself.
- Ooh, like a child actor? Chic.
β
Yeah, and now she's refusing
to go with her mom
β
to spread her dad's ashes today.
β
She is?
β
You guys know her better than anyone.
You're the only people she'll listen to.
β
So, will you help?
β
Oh, mama. That sure hit the spot.
β
Devi called.
She wants to work with me at Old Navy.
β
Isn't that cool?
β
Yeah, sure.
β
How come she hasn't come over in a while?
β
I thought you told me you kissed.
β
- I kiss a lot of girls.
- Yeah, but most of them suck.
β
And I like Devi.
β
Doesn't mean I need
to make her my girlfriend.
β
You should.
β
Listen, I don't wanna sound conceited,
β
but I'm kind of cool,
β
and she's, like, known for competing
in the National Spelling Bee.
β
- Oh, no.
- What?
β
You're a douche.
β
- I am not.
- Yeah, you are.
β
Rebecca, look. We kissed one time.
β
I don't need to marry her.
β
Also, her mom basically called me stupid,
β
and I don't need
that kinda negative energy in my life.
β
Oh, so you're scared
she's smarter than you?
β
No. Uh...
β
That's pretty rude, Rebecca.
β
Well, if you blow her off,
then actually, you are stupid.
β
Hey, you have guests.
β
Whoa. What is this room?
β
Why are they here?
β
I'd prefer not to have
any visitors right now.
β
First off, this is my house,
so I can bring anyone I want...
β
except for my dad's old law partner
who poached Channing Tatum from him.
β
I asked them to come and help you.
β
Help me what?
β
You have to go with your mom
to spread your dad's ashes.
β
Even though we haven't talked,
we still care about you,
β
and we don't want you to make a decision
you're gonna regret forever.
β
You know, you're one
to talk about regrets, Eleanor.
β
What are you even wearing?
β
Tan pants, tan shirt.
β
And you're not gonna regret
quitting the play,
β
or dressing like a park ranger
for the rest of your life?
β
This isn't about me.
We're talking about you right now.
β
I know Devi is deflecting,
but she has a point, El.
β
Last night, I saw you eat a plain yogurt
β
and watch the Home Shopping Network
as entertainment.
β
That sounds really bleak, Eleanor.
β
I know you don't want to be like your mom,
β
but this new you
can't be making you happy.
β
It's not. I'm miserable.
β
I hate neutral tones.
I miss my scarves and capes.
β
Of course, you do because they're you,
β
and so is acting.
β
You should be a part of the play.
β
You're right.
β
I was pretending to be someone I'm not,
which I should only be doing on stage.
β
Wow. Even saying the word "stage"
makes me feel better.
β
Guys, I am so sorry I wasn't there for you
when you needed me.
β
I know I don't deserve another chance,
β
but I really, really miss you.
β
We miss you too, Devi.
β
Maybe we could hang out sometime?
β
Yeah, I think so.
β
We'll call you tomorrow. Aw!
β
Hey, guys. You didn't do the thing.
β
Get her to spread her dad's ashes.
β
- I totally forgot why we were here.
- Oh!
β
You just like used
straight-up Jedi mind tricks on us.
β
I know, but I did mean what I said.
I really do miss you guys.
β
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You still have to go to Malibu.
β
So my mom can ship me off to India?
β
That's not why you don't wanna go.
β
You don't wanna go because you don't wanna
say goodbye to him.
β
But you have to.
β
I'm not ready.
β
Yes, you are. You can do this.
β
You gotta go.
β
Go, Devi.
β
The time is now 4:55.
β
Oh, my God. I'm not gonna make it in time!
β
I'll get you there.
β
Hey, Ben, when you said,
"I'll get you there,"
β
you made it seem like you understood
the urgency of the situation.
β
- I do.
- Then drive faster, bro!
β
This is my dad's car,
and I only have a permit.
β
I'm not gonna throw my life away for you.
β
At least drive the speed limit.
β
Oh, my God. Grandma, go!
β
Hey, stop pushing my leg.
β
This is not how you treat a Porsche.
β
Should we wait a little bit longer?
β
She's not coming, Kamala.
β
We don't have to do this today, you know.
β
It's his birthday.
I want to take him somewhere he loves.
β
Shit! My mom's car is gone.
β
Andy, did you see my mom leave?
β
Yeah, not long ago.
β
She had an intense vibe.
β
Dammit. They already left for Malibu.
β
I gotta call them.
β
Straight to voicemail.
β
I'll take you to Malibu.
β
I think it might be faster
if I just take a Lyft.
β
No. I'll be faster this time.
β
Although I've never been
on the highway before,
β
but how hard could it be?
β
Holy shit. We're gonna die!
β
How is it legal to drive 70 miles an hour
around a thousand other cars?
β
- Okay. Just relax.
- I am relaxed.
β
Please wait. I'm on my way to you.
β
Why is that guy so close to me?
Does he not see me?
β
I'm right next to you, pal.
β
Oh, my God! Use your fricking blinker!
β
Mom! Wait!
β
Mom! Kamala! Stop!
β
Wait, please!
β
Are you okay, kid?
β
Oh, fuck. You're John McEnroe.
β
I am.
β
Whoa! It's me. Small world.
β
My dad's your biggest fan.
β
That's awesome,
but why are you crying and screaming?
β
Because my mom
is about to toss my dad in the ocean,
β
- and I can't make it down there in time.
- Huh?
β
His ashes, I mean. Sorry. He's dead.
β
Yeah, a lot of my fans are now.
β
I was such a shitty daughter,
and I said I wouldn't come.
β
Now they're doing it without me.
β
I'm trying to scream,
but they can't hear me.
β
Well, they'll certainly hear me.
β
We can't do this without Devi.
β
Wait! Hey!
β
Don't throw your husband's ashes
in the water!
β
Is that John McEnroe?
β
- Thank you so much, Mr. McEnroe.
- No problem, kid.
β
Now, you give your dad
a proper send off, okay? Get going.
β
Mom!
β
Did I miss it? Am I too late?
β
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for everything.
β
I can't believe I said,
"I wish you were dead." I didn't mean it.
β
No, no. Don't apologize.
β
Sometimes I also wish
I was the one who had died.
β
No.
β
I know you think that it was your father
who was the only one who cared about you,
β
but that's not true.
β
I love you.
β
You're my only child.
β
You're my whole family.
β
I love you too, Mom. I love you.
β
Now how about we celebrate your father?
β
Yeah.
β
Okay.
β
Okay, Kamala, if you please.
β
Goodbye, my love.
β
"'I love you right up to the moon, '
he said."
β
Up, up. Racket head up, and through.
β
Ha, ha!
β
I think your father would've enjoyed
that little ceremony.
β
It was beautiful...
β
except for when that booze cruise came by.
β
So many topless women.
β
I think Mohan would've
enjoyed that as well.
β
Mom, can we make pancakes for dinner
like he used to?
β
Of course,
β
but you have to come home to eat them.
β
Okay.
β
Go ahead. I'll be right there.
β
Hi. Was I drooling?
β
Sorry.
β
Uh, how did it go?
Did you make it down there in time?
β
Yeah.
β
You stayed.
β
Yeah. I just wanted to make sure
you were okay.
β
It's Devi. Leave a message.
β
Oh, hey, um, I'm in your neighborhood.
β
Thought maybe we can hang out,
but, uh, it seems like you're busy, so...
β
Uh...
β
Anyway, you can give me a call
or text. Whatever.
β
Okay.
