00:00:00You ready to party? I don't think we've pre-gamed enough gaming girls to wait for that.

00:00:15The game has begun. I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.

00:00:19No, it's too late. You've done this yourself. And I quote,

00:00:23I don't want to spend my entire college career reading about other people's sex lives.

00:00:27This is the last party of our college career.

00:00:30And even if you don't get laid, just dance and have a good time.

00:00:37OK, OK, you're right. Let's go.

00:00:45So you're falling for me. I, uh, thanks.

00:00:57Girl, you just tripped yourself into an incant romance.

00:01:00That's exactly what it was. It felt like I was in one of Adam's old stories.

00:01:04It felt just too real and too fast.

00:01:06Wait, wait, wait. Adam, that smut writer you got hung up on?

00:01:10It's not smut. OK, he writes about love and tragedies and everything in between.

00:01:15And I don't just read them. We talk about them, about ourselves, about what it means to be alive.

00:01:22Hon, you never even met this guy.

00:01:26I was going to Megan. We had set up a date and he ghosted me.

00:01:31I don't think I can forgive him, but I can't forget him.

00:01:34I mean, he's the whole reason that I'm an English literature.

00:01:36Oh, yeah. OK, so tonight we are undoing all that damage. You take this.

00:01:41And I need to dance, so see ya.

00:01:45Wait, he's leaving me?

00:01:50Are you enjoying me, girl?

00:01:52Oh, I'll go see if your lover boy wants to dip you again.

00:02:21Oh, God.

00:02:24Hey.

00:02:25I'm good, thank you.

00:02:27Keep it great.

00:02:30Did you really think that was going to work, creep?

00:02:33You want to raise a hand? Raise one of these.

00:02:36It's cool, dude. Really, it's cool. I've been drinking a little bit.

00:02:39I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out.

00:02:45It's cool.

00:02:51Are you OK?

00:02:54No, I'm... I don't go to many parties. This is my one.

00:02:58Just take a breath. He's gone.

00:03:01That's twice tonight I saved you. Do you like playing damsel in distress?

00:03:06No, I... You're my damsel. I'm your knight.

00:03:11Never mind.

00:03:13What?

00:03:15Goodbye.

00:03:21OK.

00:03:25Hi, excuse me. Sorry, so sorry.

00:03:28OK, bye.

00:03:30Oh, my God. What is going on? What happened?

00:03:34I don't know why I thought I could just go out for one night and expect everything to go perfectly.

00:03:38I'm an idiot. I had one guy almost hit me.

00:03:40Hit you? Wait, who? Where?

00:03:42He's gone. And the guy who caught me earlier saved me again.

00:03:45And I thought he was flirting with me, so I tried to throw it back.

00:03:48But I screwed that up.

00:03:50Hey, he's a guy. It's harder to screw up your chances than you think.

00:03:53He probably thinks I'm insane. I think I called him my knight.

00:03:57I don't know. I'm trying to block it all out already.

00:04:00You win some, you lose some.

00:04:03Let's just go home and binge some ice cream and go more girls.

00:04:08Yeah.

00:04:10Hey, damsel, wait up.

00:04:12Julie, be cool.

00:04:15She had run far.

00:04:17Trying to outrun her own heart.

00:04:20Wait, is that from Forgotten Garden?

00:04:23Yeah, and you paid for Reader.

00:04:25And as a runner, where are you going?

00:04:27I just thought it was better if I cut my losses for the night and give up flirting.

00:04:31Maybe forever.

00:04:34Was that what all that falling down and getting into fights was?

00:04:38Us flirting?

00:04:40Or even trying to save me back there?

00:04:43I'll be your damsel if you play my knight that rescues me.

00:04:48I'm actually really glad you can say that.

00:04:51Well, how about the truth?

00:04:53My friend dragged me to this party because she thinks I need to have fun in real life.

00:04:57And I think you're super hot, but I'm way too much of a wuss to do anything about that.

00:05:07How's that for fun?

00:05:13Hi.

00:05:26What?

00:05:28I want to hear you say it.

00:05:30Say what?

00:05:36That you want me now.

00:05:39I want you now.

00:06:44Hi.

00:06:52Oh, so you're leaving.

00:06:55Well, you know I've got to take my shirt, too.

00:06:57Oh, I just thought we had a great time last night.

00:07:01We did.

00:07:02You said you wanted to have some fun, and you got it.

00:07:05Let me tell you, I'm having a blast now.

00:07:07Look, I'm just really not looking for anything beyond one night.

00:07:12It's staying over.

00:07:14I can only break so many of my own rules.

00:07:16Here.

00:07:17I'd hate for you to break some of your made-up rules.

00:07:20Oh, my God.

00:07:37That does not look like the face of one who just had the best night of her life.

00:07:41It's not.

00:07:43Oh, honey.

00:07:45What happened?

00:07:47It's like there was something about this guy.

00:07:49He and I were getting along so well.

00:07:51He was passionate, but smart, too.

00:07:54He quoted my favorite book, The Forgotten Garden.

00:07:57Yeah, never heard of that.

00:07:59But he sounds like your exact type.

00:08:01That's all that matters.

00:08:02But then it's like I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hype.

00:08:07Oh, he's one of those?

00:08:10He basically kicked me out of the house.

00:08:12What?

00:08:13I'm telling you, he's two different people, and one of them wants nothing to do with me.

00:08:18Damn.

00:08:20Well, the beauty of one night stands is that you'll never have to see his face again.

00:08:25But what if he's in my class?

00:08:27No, no way.

00:08:29He probably doesn't even go here.

00:08:31He's probably one of those locals that likes to hang around college kids.

00:08:35Yeah, gross.

00:08:38I'm gonna shower.

00:08:39Yeah, get washed up.

00:09:10Okay.

00:09:11Give me a pencil.

00:09:12Oh, my God.

00:09:13Oh, my God.

00:09:14Good morning, class, and welcome to the start of a new year.

00:09:17Now, I know you all must be thrilled to see me after I announced my retirement last year.

00:09:23But I'm sorry to say your joy will be short-lived.

00:09:26Or is it short-lived?

00:09:28Well, anyway.

00:09:30for the first two weeks of this semester, I will be showing your new creative writing professor, The Ropes.

00:09:36He's running behind me.

00:09:37Oh, my God.

00:09:38If it's Professor McSteamy I saw in the hall today, I will not be able to concentrate.

00:09:42Ah, here he is now.

00:09:44Mr. Mitchell.

00:09:48Oh, my God.

00:09:49That's him.

00:09:50Ah, here he is now. Mr. Mitchell!

00:09:56Oh my god, that's him!

00:09:58This is Mr. Mitchell's first year as a professor, but he was one of my best students not too long ago.

00:10:06I assure you, you are a capable hands.

00:10:11Anything you'd like to say?

00:10:14Uh, yeah, it's great to be here. It's a good day. Looking forward to it. Teaching.

00:10:26I promise you, he's much better on the page.

00:10:33Alright folks, that's it. Thanks. See you tomorrow. At least he will.

00:10:44Nice to meet you.

00:10:48Hey, um, I'm sorry, Tuli?

00:10:51Mr. Mitchell?

00:10:52It's Jace, right? It's Mr. Mitchell.

00:10:55I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior that morning, and I hope that we can keep what happened in our personal lives out of the class.

00:11:02Oh, don't worry. You already made it crystal clear that you want me nowhere near your personal life.

00:11:07Look, this is just as a surprise to me as it is to you. It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like...

00:11:12Like I was trash on garbage day?

00:11:15Tuli, that's not it. Do you want me to be honest?

00:11:18Yes, Mr. Mitchell.

00:11:21Honestly, I didn't know I was going to be a professor that night.

00:11:25I'd just finished grad school. No clue where to go from there.

00:11:29And if I had known, I probably wouldn't have even followed you outside. And all the rest.

00:11:35You're not the only one who regrets what we did, but don't worry. It'll never happen again.

00:11:58Hey, Tuli!

00:12:01You good? What's got you all worked up?

00:12:04Remember that guy, Mr. Jekyll and Hyde?

00:12:07Yeah. Wait, he's in one of your classes, isn't he?

00:12:11Sort of. He's teaching it.

00:12:14Shut up!

00:12:15I know, this is horrible.

00:12:17Oh my god. I mean, why though? It's not like you're going to hook up with him again.

00:12:20Miss, you forgot something. You left it in the hallway. I wanted to make sure you didn't leave without it.

00:12:26Well, thank you. That was very nice.

00:12:28Well, it was pretty selfish.

00:12:30I was afraid if I left it in the lost and found, I wouldn't be able to see your beautiful face light up when I return it.

00:12:39This is Tuli.

00:12:40Oh, I know. I'm in her creative writing class. I'm Armand. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

00:12:47Okay, quite the charmer.

00:12:49In France, we never hold back when we see something we like.

00:12:53Hmm.

00:12:58I'm telling you, that French guy is so into you.

00:13:01He seems like the type that'd be into anybody.

00:13:03What?

00:13:05No, he was treating me like I wasn't even there.

00:13:08Which is absolutely crazy.

00:13:11Oh my god.

00:13:12What?

00:13:13He put his name in my phone.

00:13:15Oh, girl, he likes you.

00:13:19I know, but the crazy thing is, is meet-cutes and gestures like this only make me think of Adam and his stories.

00:13:26Oh, please. It's probably for the best that he stopped catfishing you.

00:13:31Forget him. Now, Armand, he's your real-life French lover, okay?

00:13:38Good guys are hard to come by nowadays. You better hop on that before somebody else does.

00:13:49Trash.

00:13:51Garbage, too.

00:14:18To be continued...

00:14:39Hey, Tui.

00:14:40Chase.

00:14:41Uh, Mr. Mitchell. I didn't know you wrote.

00:14:45Well, why would I teach others how to write if I wasn't doing it myself?

00:14:49More professors should have that attitude.

00:14:51What's the quote?

00:14:52Those who can't do, teach?

00:14:54Teachers do plenty.

00:14:56Knowledge is a thing that gives a person power.

00:14:59Who is that, Lockhart?

00:15:01I'm glad I got one student who reads.

00:15:03Doesn't seem to be too common these days.

00:15:06You sound like Professor Connor.

00:15:08Well, that's fine as long as you don't think I look like him.

00:15:12What are those?

00:15:13From Professor Connor. He said you know what to do with them.

00:15:16You didn't volunteer to bring them, did you?

00:15:18I'll leave you alone to flatter yourself.

00:15:20That wasn't a no.

00:15:22I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate.

00:15:25Isn't that what you want?

00:15:27What I want doesn't matter.

00:15:29What matters is what we are, teacher and student.

00:15:32Well, the next time you think about flirting with me, remember what we are.

00:15:37I can manage if you can.

00:15:39Oh, believe me, that won't be an issue.

00:15:41Thank you for dropping off the papers, but next time only visit when you really need me.

00:15:47You won't be seeing much of me then.

00:16:00Julie.

00:16:01Armand.

00:16:02I was waiting for you to call.

00:16:04Sorry, I've just been distracted.

00:16:07What is it?

00:16:08A face as beautiful does not deserve a frown.

00:16:10I just...

00:16:12It's nothing. One of my teachers is an ass.

00:16:15Sounds like you need a break from school.

00:16:17Let me cheer you up.

00:16:19Whatever you want.

00:16:21How about I cook you some boeuf bourguignon, we watch a French movie,

00:16:25and we have a little tour of France.

00:16:27How does that sound?

00:16:28That might get me out of it.

00:16:30Yeah? How about dancing?

00:16:32Would you like that?

00:16:37Yes.

00:16:53So what do you think?

00:16:55Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?

00:16:58Nothing ever does.

00:17:00But it was good.

00:17:01Well, good for you then, because I had another one for you.

00:17:04There is a screening of La Vie en Rose this Friday.

00:17:07One of my favorites.

00:17:09Would you come with me?

00:17:11Friday is actually my birthday.

00:17:13That sounds nice. I don't have anything planned.

00:17:16Because I'm cool with that.

00:17:18Your birthday?

00:17:19I mean, Julie, a movie won't do it.

00:17:22You deserve a party.

00:17:24Let me host, what do you say, Big Bash?

00:17:29We barely know each other. You don't have to do that.

00:17:32Julie, I insist, let me do that for you.

00:17:34Like, let's take it as the beginning of a new year.

00:17:37The year of Tully.

00:17:39Okay.

00:17:56Tully? What are you doing?

00:17:59I'm reading some of Adam's old stories.

00:18:01What? I thought everything with Armand was going so good.

00:18:05It did.

00:18:06Okay.

00:18:07Adam's just been on my mind lately, and I can't figure out why.

00:18:10Okay, you have to show me something of his.

00:18:12There's no way that he's that good of a writer.

00:18:14Okay.

00:18:17Here.

00:18:18The blue blossom fields matched her eyes, and the spirit within them.

00:18:22That life, joyful, free thing that danced and arced across her gaze when she looked at me.

00:18:28I swam wondrously in those eyes, desperate and sad as she drifted off to sleep.

00:18:33My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.

00:18:38Damn.

00:18:40That is good.

00:18:42Too bad he's not real.

00:18:44He was real, Megan.

00:18:46Uh-huh.

00:18:47But he just vanished.

00:18:51I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.

00:18:54Honey?

00:18:57Armand is a real-life human with real-life human genitalia.

00:19:02And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.

00:19:05He won't ghost you like Adam.

00:19:08I won't let him.

00:19:10That's enough of that, okay?

00:19:14Get ready for your party.

00:19:18Okay.

00:19:27Okay.

00:19:36Tuli, bienvenue.

00:19:38Hey.

00:19:40Oh.

00:19:41Come in.

00:19:42Everyone, say hi to Tuli, it's her birthday.

00:19:45Happy birthday!

00:19:48Armand, come on, let's go to the club, it'll be fun.

00:19:52No, Lucien.

00:19:57Hey.

00:19:59Come dance with me.

00:20:01Sorry, not now.

00:20:03Okay, but before the end of the night, we're dancing, right?

00:20:08Here, take this.

00:20:12Tuli, look.

00:20:14Look at this party.

00:20:15Look at what Armand is doing for you, okay?

00:20:18Just forget about your days lost in fiction and get with your life.

00:20:22It's your real life.

00:20:24It's your real life.

00:20:26Okay.

00:20:27All right.

00:20:28Now that's what I'm talking about, girl.

00:20:30Come on.

00:20:37Tuli, look at you.

00:20:39You should go to the ballroom dancing sometimes.

00:20:41You love dancing, don't you?

00:20:44No.

00:20:45There's something else I love more, though.

00:20:47Armand, I've had too much to drink.

00:20:50Tuli, look what I've done for you.

00:20:51Let's have a good time.

00:20:52I was having fun.

00:20:54Come to my room.

00:20:55I'll show you a birthday game.

00:20:56Armand, don't do this.

00:20:58Tuli, you're making a scene right now.

00:21:00I'm going to make a scene if you grab me like that.

00:21:02Leave me.

00:21:23Tuli?

00:21:25Oh, it's you.

00:21:27Are you okay?

00:21:29No, I'm walking home.

00:21:31How far away is your place?

00:21:33I'm almost there.

00:21:35Just three, four more miles.

00:21:40Okay, come on.

00:21:42I'm going to take you home after a glass of water.

00:21:44What do you care?

00:21:47Tuli, I'm trying to help you.

00:21:51I thought you wanted to keep a professional base, Mr. Mitchell.

00:21:58I am not your professor right now.

00:22:00I'm just someone who cares about seeing you wake up tomorrow safe.

00:22:05Come on.

00:22:11You really care, don't you?

00:22:14Like more than just someone wanting me to get home safe.

00:22:17You care about me.

00:22:20I'm trying so hard not to.

00:22:23You can do anything to me and it wouldn't be forced.

00:22:28It wouldn't be right either.

00:22:30That's the thing.

00:22:33It may seem wrong, but it's just what you're told.

00:22:39What was that?

00:22:48My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.

00:23:19Ugh.

00:23:31Had to go run an errand.

00:23:33There's some coffee in the kitchen.

00:23:35Advil on the counter.

00:23:37Hope your head doesn't hurt too much.

00:23:49Chase, wait.

00:23:51Why were you off with the call to cops?

00:23:53I'm sorry.

00:23:54Honey.

00:23:56What happened?

00:23:58I left the party after Armand basically forced himself on me.

00:24:01What?

00:24:02My phone died and I ended up staying with Chase.

00:24:06Oh, my God.

00:24:07Please tell me you didn't sleep with your professor again.

00:24:10I didn't.

00:24:11He just took care of me.

00:24:13That doesn't sound any better.

00:24:15No, it's...

00:24:16We didn't do anything.

00:24:18I made an idiot of myself and passed out.

00:24:21That's it.

00:24:22The important thing is you're safe.

00:24:24I'm just glad you're home.

00:24:28Shit.

00:24:37Julie.

00:24:39Chase.

00:24:40Are you feeling better?

00:24:43I am, thanks.

00:24:45I wanted to apologize.

00:24:46I wasn't...

00:24:49I wasn't in a good place.

00:24:52Thank you for taking care of me.

00:24:54Of course.

00:24:55I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it was probably for the best.

00:25:00Not exactly the Friday night you wanted to deal with, I'm sure.

00:25:03I didn't mind the company.

00:25:06Well, I could have been better.

00:25:09You want to keep things professional, and that certainly didn't help.

00:25:14I don't think keeping things professional is an option for us.

00:25:18Do you?

00:25:26This is a bad idea.

00:25:29I could lose my job.

00:25:31I could get kicked out of school.

00:25:33The risk is too high.

00:25:34We've got to keep this completely academic.

00:25:36I'm glad we agree.

00:25:39I love you.

00:25:52The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.

00:25:58Anything else is just too messy.

00:26:01And you can do that.

00:26:03You can be my professor with benefits.

00:26:07God, I hate the sound of that.

00:26:10Then we don't have to close anything.

00:26:12Just our dirty little secret.

00:26:23Not here.

00:26:37Not here.

00:26:59Love is divine only and difficult always.

00:27:04Does anyone know who said that?

00:27:07Toni Morrison.

00:27:08Great job, Tui.

00:27:10Great job, Tui.

00:27:12I bet she hears that every night.

00:27:14She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?

00:27:16I'm going to visit his office later today, and maybe I'll get some extra credit, too.

00:27:20You wouldn't need the extra credit if you'd actually pay attention instead of talking about me.

00:27:23I'm not the only one talking about you.

00:27:25Ladies, please.

00:27:27So, we're talking about cognitive dissonance and how it can be more than a useful tool.

00:27:33How sometimes it's everything that it means to be human.

00:27:38Now, last night I read some of your papers.

00:27:42I would say about 50% of you understand what I'm talking about.

00:27:47Or I should say Toni's talking about.

00:27:50You know, Cassandra and her cronies won't shut up about you, and they're starting to bring me into it now, too.

00:28:04You have no reason to be jealous. Trust me.

00:28:07I only sleep with one student at a time.

00:28:10Ha ha.

00:28:17Dinner is ready.

00:28:19Julie, that's my novel. It's not...

00:28:22I love it. I'm only a few pages in, but I absolutely love it.

00:28:27I do have a few notes, though.

00:28:30Oh, you have some notes, do you?

00:28:32Yeah. It's a diamond in the rough.

00:28:35I'll show you the rough.

00:28:43Which character grew up in Hades?

00:28:46John T...

00:28:51Oh, I'll get it.

00:28:57Hi. Could I talk to Julie?

00:29:00I'll check.

00:29:03It's Armand.

00:29:11I'll be in the other room if you need me.

00:29:17Hi. I'm sorry for how I acted.

00:29:22Not just for trying to kiss you, but I shouldn't have let you go without making sure you had a safe way home.

00:29:29I made it home safe. Bumped into an old friend.

00:29:32Please tell me I didn't ruin anything between us.

00:29:35I'm trying to keep up with you, and I'd like to make it up to you.

00:29:39And I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.

00:29:44Hey, why don't we go on a date together? I mean, a real one.

00:29:48Just you and I. No French film. No party. Just us.

00:29:53What do you think about that?

00:29:55Not right now.

00:30:04So, are you gonna go out with him?

00:30:07I don't know. I told him not right now.

00:30:10Is it because of the party?

00:30:12I totally get that.

00:30:14Well, um...

00:30:17I've kind of been hooking up with someone.

00:30:19Ooh, spicy!

00:30:21Well, it better not be your teacher, because that would be crazy.

00:30:26Tuli?

00:30:28No, Tuli!

00:30:30What?

00:30:31Well, it better be hot.

00:30:33Oh, it's hot.

00:30:34You're gonna get in trouble, girl!

00:30:36I am the trouble.

00:30:37Oh my god! Come here! Oh my god.

00:30:41Just be careful, okay?

00:30:43Yeah.

00:30:44All right.

00:30:49What does your piece have to say?

00:30:51Behind everything written on the page,

00:30:53what is the reader supposed to walk away from your story with?

00:30:56For example, justice is one of the major themes in Tuli's Mockingbird,

00:31:02or To Kill a Mockingbird.

00:31:04Excuse me.

00:31:06Um...

00:31:08What was I saying?

00:31:15You're gonna get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.

00:31:18I'm the one who's gonna get into trouble.

00:31:20And you love that I could tell.

00:31:22I've got a hot professor inserting my name into classic literature titles.

00:31:27Yeah.

00:31:28What's not to love?

00:31:29Wait till we talk about a Tuli of two cities.

00:31:31No, shut up.

00:31:32Or a Catch-22-ly.

00:31:33I am shutting you up, then.

00:31:36Okay.

00:31:53Yeah, if I don't get an A this semester,

00:31:55my mom's totally gonna cut off my meal card.

00:31:58Yeah, I know, who does that?

00:31:59Like, totally psychotic.

00:32:01Like, I'm already suffering enough.

00:32:07Hello, Mr. Mitchell.

00:32:09Hey, Sandra.

00:32:10I just wanted to turn in this paper a little early this week.

00:32:13Yeah, absolutely.

00:32:15Is everything okay?

00:32:17Yeah, it's, uh...

00:32:18It's all part of the grading process.

00:32:21Interesting.

00:32:23Thanks.

00:32:36That was too close.

00:32:38No more of that here.

00:32:40I'll see you later tonight, then?

00:32:43No, we wait a few seconds.

00:32:45He might still be out there.

00:32:46Oh, yeah?

00:32:47What are we supposed to do while we wait?

00:32:49Anything but what we were doing before.

00:33:06Tam, my notebook.

00:33:24That bastard.

00:33:25That's why he wanted to keep it physical.

00:33:27I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.

00:33:29You think he could be married?

00:33:31I don't know. Should I call him, confront him?

00:33:33Mm-mm. Drop him.

00:33:35If he's gonna treat you like you're nothing, you should do the same.

00:33:38I say call Armand.

00:33:40He wants to take you out on a real date, right?

00:33:43Yeah, but Jace is...

00:33:44The Jace is your teacher.

00:33:47And you're his student.

00:33:49But what else is he hiding from you if he's, like, seeing this other woman?

00:33:52You're right.

00:33:53I know.

00:33:54Let's party.

00:33:59Armand?

00:34:00I think...

00:34:02I think I changed my mind about that date.

00:34:07Your date with Armand is gonna be so cute.

00:34:10I bet that he knows all the best French restaurants around here.

00:34:14He says they're all awful.

00:34:16We're getting sushi.

00:34:17What?

00:34:23Oh, it's my dad.

00:34:26Hey, Dad.

00:34:32What?

00:34:34It's my grandma.

00:34:38And that's all, everyone.

00:34:41Come back Monday with those revisions, and have a great weekend.

00:34:56Hey, it's Julie.

00:34:57Just leave me a message.

00:35:02Okay.

00:35:08Hi, is Julie here?

00:35:10Sorry, I'm alone. She's not here.

00:35:12Can you give her that?

00:35:13Thanks.

00:35:15Bye.

00:35:22Hello?

00:35:23There's a rain check on Armand, but he said he's sorry for your loss and gave you these tulips.

00:35:28Yeah.

00:35:30Isn't it pretty?

00:35:42Come on, tell me what's going on.

00:35:44Really, it's nothing.

00:35:48BS.

00:35:49I know when you've got girl problems.

00:35:52I'm telling you, I'm only focusing on writing and teaching.

00:35:57That's enough to deal with.

00:36:01I can always tell.

00:36:03Face it, bro, twin intuition is a real thing.

00:36:06That really only seems to go one way.

00:36:10Well, that's because your head's always in the clouds.

00:36:12Or on the next great American novel.

00:36:15So you wish, anyway.

00:36:22Your phone's been going off all night, and you keep declining it.

00:36:25I don't want to get involved.

00:36:28I think she's seeing someone else, so I...

00:36:31So...

00:36:33You're ghosting her?

00:36:35Oh my god, I'm shocked.

00:36:38Jace Mitchell vanishing at the slightest bump in the road.

00:36:43Janelle, I tried to settle down, and marriage didn't work for me.

00:36:48Brooke didn't work for you.

00:36:51Don't blame the entire institution on one psychotic ex.

00:36:55You can bounce back.

00:36:57I can't get over everything so easy.

00:36:59And I tried.

00:37:01My heart wasn't in it.

00:37:03I'm better off just not starting down that path again.

00:37:07Jace.

00:37:09Come on, do you really believe that?

00:37:20Come on.

00:37:26Jace.

00:37:27Totally.

00:37:29Jace, I'm sorry I missed class.

00:37:32It's been a rough few days.

00:37:34Yeah, I bet.

00:37:35I saw Ramon chilling up at your house with flowers.

00:37:38Are you guys dating?

00:37:41No.

00:37:42So that's why you haven't been answering my calls?

00:37:44What do you care if I'm dating someone?

00:37:46You're not exactly single yourself, are you?

00:37:50I can see you're busy.

00:37:51I'll leave you two alone.

00:37:52No, Thule, come back.

00:37:54I want you to meet someone.

00:37:56Janelle, this is Thule.

00:37:58Thule is my sister, Janelle.

00:38:02So, you're the one that's got my brother all twisted up in knots.

00:38:05Janelle.

00:38:06I'm sorry, I don't know why I just showed up like this.

00:38:09Thule, no need to apologize.

00:38:11You both started this off badly.

00:38:13Come inside.

00:38:21Hi.

00:38:22Jace, be a good host and get the bottle of wine.

00:38:25And another glass.

00:38:32Sorry for your loss.

00:38:34Was she a good woman?

00:38:36The best.

00:38:38She took care of us when my mom and dad broke up.

00:38:41She was the only thing that got me through it.

00:38:43Our parents broke up too.

00:38:45Did Jace tell you that?

00:38:46He doesn't really talk about himself, not really.

00:38:49I don't even know his middle name.

00:38:52Jace and I are just...

00:38:55We're just having a flame, no feelings.

00:38:59So, he says.

00:39:01Why does he keep pushing me away then?

00:39:03Hiding himself when I know he won't stop and...

00:39:06He's a closed book.

00:39:08I know.

00:39:10We went through a really rough time growing up.

00:39:12And it's not my story to tell, but he has his reasons.

00:39:20I'm sorry.

00:39:33I'll let you two talk.

00:39:45I'm sorry for lashing out.

00:39:48You're grieving.

00:39:49Believe me, I understand.

00:39:53Do you want to tell me about her?

00:40:00Grandma was always there for us.

00:40:02More than your normal, sweet old grandma.

00:40:06She was special.

00:40:08Patient, kind.

00:40:12Everything that my mom wasn't.

00:40:15And when my mom and dad broke up, she moved in to take care of us.

00:40:23My first romance novels were the ones that I would sneak out of her room.

00:40:27She said it was okay.

00:40:29I just wasn't allowed to explain anything to my dad.

00:40:35I just...

00:40:37If I had known that we were going to lose her so suddenly,

00:40:40I would have spent every second that I could have with her.

00:40:44All those great things.

00:40:47Let that be what she leaves behind in this world.

00:40:51Inside you and everyone who knew her.

00:40:56Carry her with you.

00:40:59You know what she would have told me about you?

00:41:01Stay awake.

00:41:03Stay awake?

00:41:07She would have told me to stop messing around and give you my heart.

00:41:14And I want to.

00:41:18Jason, I know you have feelings, don't you?

00:41:23Not just the sex, not just the fun, real feelings.

00:41:28You're in an emotional place right now. We can talk about this later.

00:41:31I know you feel it too. You're horrible at hiding it.

00:41:35We can't be together, can we? We've crossed too many lines.

00:41:39That's bullshit and you know it. Tell me the truth.

00:41:43Why are you pushing me away? What are you afraid of?

00:41:47You don't know me.

00:41:50You don't know what I've been through.

00:41:52That's exactly what I want to know.

00:41:54You never would have let me read your book if you didn't want more.

00:41:58I told myself I wouldn't get sucked into this.

00:42:01There's too much at stake.

00:42:03No more than when we kissed in your office.

00:42:06This isn't about you being my teacher anymore. It's about us being serious.

00:42:11I don't know if I can.

00:42:14I don't know if you'll stay.

00:42:16My mother had her secrets.

00:42:18She left us high and dry, having planned her exit for years.

00:42:22I need to know that the man that I'm spending my time with isn't going to leave.

00:42:26That is me sharing myself with you, Jason.

00:42:29Why can't you do the same?

00:42:32Keep your secrets or keep me.

00:42:48Jason, don't let her slip away.

00:42:56I'm sorry.

00:43:27Thanks for coming to the funeral with me, Megan.

00:43:29Yeah, of course, girl. Your grandma was such a badass.

00:43:34Oh, I'll get it.

00:43:37Still here.

00:43:39She has a lot going on right now. I don't think she has time for you.

00:43:44Megan knows.

00:43:46Tully, what do you even know about him?

00:43:48If he wants to tell me more, I'll listen.

00:43:52Tully, what do you even know about him?

00:43:54If he wants to tell me more, I'll listen.

00:44:08You want to know why I won't commit?

00:44:11Why I can't let you in the way you want?

00:44:16I was married.

00:44:18For two years.

00:44:20And it started off great.

00:44:24I was in love.

00:44:27I thought I was, at least.

00:44:30But we fell apart.

00:44:33She cheated.

00:44:36She threatened to ruin me when I tried to leave her.

00:44:43Still, I had to get out of it.

00:44:48I had lost so much.

00:44:52I had told myself that my book would come first.

00:44:58And I didn't have time to fall for someone.

00:45:05Until I met you.

00:45:08James.

00:45:17James.

00:45:47Arnold, I'm sorry.

00:45:49We can't be together.

00:45:51I wanted to feel the same sort of passion that you felt for me, but...

00:45:55Is this because of Professor Mitchell?

00:45:57What?

00:45:58What are you talking about?

00:46:00I saw him at your house today.

00:46:02I wanted to tell you about it, but it's complicated with him.

00:46:06I was never really sure about anything.

00:46:09I'm sorry.

00:46:11I'm sorry.

00:46:13I'm sorry.

00:46:15I was never really sure about anything.

00:46:17Was our date really going to happen?

00:46:19Armand, yes.

00:46:21But I told you that my grandmother...

00:46:22Yes, yes, I know, but...

00:46:24Your heart was never really in it, was it?

00:46:27I felt pressured to be with you, Armand.

00:46:30If you read the romance novels, you're the perfect guy.

00:46:33But I don't think perfect is for me anymore.

00:46:38It's gotta be more than just gestures.

00:46:41It's gotta be real.

00:46:43So you think what you got with him is real?

00:46:45It's becoming more real every day.

00:46:49I just hope he feels the same for you, Tuli.

00:46:51Or he's gonna hurt you.

00:47:03Hello.

00:47:05Tuli.

00:47:07No use hiding something.

00:47:14F***.

00:47:18Well, it's over with Armand.

00:47:21Tuli, I have to tell you something about Jace.

00:47:25What?

00:47:27Okay, um...

00:47:29Remember when I was like,

00:47:31what do we even really know about him?

00:47:34Well, that thought stuck with me, and...

00:47:37I know you guys have been, you know, making up.

00:47:39I know I'm nosy and...

00:47:41awful friend.

00:47:43Please, just hear me out.

00:47:45Megan, it's fine. What did you find out?

00:47:47Okay, well, I found his faculty page and his email,

00:47:50and I decided to search it up.

00:47:52I...

00:47:54Okay, and?

00:47:56You're gonna want to sit down for this one.

00:48:06Jace's website was created using the same email

00:48:10as Adam's inkit account.

00:48:29I didn't hear you come in. Everything okay?

00:48:31No, Jace, it's not.

00:48:33Were you ever gonna tell me?

00:48:35Tell you what?

00:48:37That you're Adam.

00:48:40No wonder I loved your writing.

00:48:42I'd been reading it for years.

00:48:44Who's Adam, huh?

00:48:46Just some alter ego that you made up?

00:48:48Adam is my middle name.

00:48:50The person you're talking to is a real me.

00:48:53How long have you known?

00:48:55Was it before that first night?

00:48:57Did you plan all this?

00:48:59No. I found out when I saw you in class

00:49:02months after that first night between us.

00:49:04You said the name to one of your chapter titles,

00:49:06and I realized who you were.

00:49:08I wanted to stay away, but I couldn't.

00:49:11Then why didn't you tell me

00:49:13even when we first started seeing each other?

00:49:17I was afraid you'd think I was manipulating you.

00:49:19What else am I supposed to call it

00:49:21when that's exactly what you're doing?

00:49:23Three years ago, when we were supposed to meet,

00:49:25you were married, weren't you?

00:49:29The whole time we talked online,

00:49:31you were married.

00:49:35Yes.

00:49:36Unbelievable, Jace, Adam.

00:49:38I don't know which version of you I'm more angry with.

00:49:51It's bad enough that he's my teacher, but this?

00:49:54I just think back on everything between us

00:49:56and wonder what he's been operating on behind the scenes.

00:50:01I knew something was wrong with him.

00:50:03That's why I had to look into it.

00:50:05Thank you for being nosy.

00:50:07You were right.

00:50:09You're also a great friend.

00:50:11Hey, at least it all came out now

00:50:14and no real damage was done.

00:50:16You dodged a bullet.

00:50:18Should I drop out of the class?

00:50:20No, absolutely not.

00:50:22We are not letting him win this one, okay?

00:50:35Hello?

00:50:51I am not sentimental.

00:50:53I am as romantic as you are.

00:50:55The idea that you know

00:50:57is that a sentimental person

00:50:59thinks things will last.

00:51:01A romantic person

00:51:03person has a desperate confidence that they won't.

00:51:07What does Fitzgerald mean by this?

00:51:11It sounds nice, but I don't think it's honest.

00:51:15How so? Because some people are neither.

00:51:19Some people just use others thinking

00:51:23that they won't last.

00:51:27And then they're glad to throw them away.

00:51:31Sigh.

00:51:35Sigh.

00:51:39♪

00:51:43♪

00:51:47♪

00:51:51♪

00:51:55♪

00:51:59♪

00:52:03♪

00:52:07♪

00:52:11So yes,

00:52:15they called me back in to finish off your class. I'm sorry to say

00:52:19that Mr. Mitchell has resigned.

00:52:23Some administrative matter, that's all I'm going to say.

00:52:27So, help me get caught up with where we are on the assignment.

00:52:31From what I understand, you're supposed to take one

00:52:35chapter out of the Wailerly novels and write it

00:52:39in your own style.

00:52:43Chase.

00:52:47Cynthia. I'm just packing up.

00:52:51What happened? You tell me.

00:52:55I know you're hurt, but I don't think you'd do anything like this.

00:53:15Julie. Did you do it? Do what?

00:53:19Tell me the truth. Did you report Chase to the school?

00:53:23I didn't report him because it was the right thing to do.

00:53:27Right thing? You only did that because I chose him over you.

00:53:31Can it be both, Julie? There are rules that exist and you can't deny that you broke them.

00:53:35Even if he doesn't hurt you, what is he going to do with the other student?

00:53:39The next student? Arman, you cost him his job, maybe his whole career.

00:53:43I did that, huh? What about him? What about you?

00:53:47You think you're innocent in all of that?

00:53:51Really?

00:53:55I know how the investigation is going to end.

00:53:59I figured I'd better leave under suspicion

00:54:03and be the confirmed disgrace that I am.

00:54:07Doesn't this mean you can see Tuli now, with no secrets?

00:54:11That's the best part. Tuli's gone.

00:54:15We're through.

00:54:19Chase, why?

00:54:23We didn't realize it, but we used to talk on a site where I would write my stories.

00:54:27I was married to Brooke.

00:54:31Things were already falling apart at that point.

00:54:35But when we set an actual date,

00:54:39I knew I had gone too far. I knew I had to break it off.

00:54:43And by the time

00:54:47Brooke and I had divorced, it was too late.

00:54:51She blocked me. So even when we started seeing each other

00:54:55as, well, us,

00:54:59I still couldn't tell her.

00:55:03I knew she wouldn't forgive me for ghosting her,

00:55:07for lying to her.

00:55:11And she didn't. She turned me in

00:55:15and I didn't say a word.

00:55:19Well, what you don't deserve is to beat yourself up about this.

00:55:23You have to find a way to move on.

00:55:45What?

00:55:49Oh, my God.

00:55:53Tul, we did it. No school, no books, no grades,

00:55:57no teachers. Sorry. Smart subject.

00:56:01No. You know, finally it's done. Okay, Tul, I'm proud of you.

00:56:05You've grown so much. What do you say we go out tonight?

00:56:09Now that's what I'm talking about.

00:56:13What is it?

00:56:29Jace's novel.

00:56:33Wow. He actually got it published.

00:56:37Is that the one you read? Yeah.

00:56:41Looks like he got back on his feet. Oh, my God. He wrote something.

00:56:45For my damn soul, Adam.

00:56:49Too little, too late, right?

00:56:53Right. Still want to go dancing today? Sure.

00:56:57Let's do it. I've been dying to get you into your little red dress.

00:57:01Let's go.

00:57:11Oh, my God.

00:57:31Oh, my God. Did you see the guy who was dancing with me?

00:57:35Yes. Now that's how you capital for college career. Yeah, it is.

00:57:39Good night, Jace. Night, Megan. Good night.

00:58:09They stood in the winter withered garden,

00:58:13dead flower beds at their feet.

00:58:17John didn't notice. He gazed deeply into her eyes.

00:58:21I'm ready, Victoria, John whispered.

00:58:25Every universe we've met, every timeline,

00:58:29every version of me, you are the constant.

00:58:33You're the one thing I can't change and I'll never want to.

00:58:37He placed a flower in her hand.

00:58:41It was a tulip. Not dead, no.

00:58:45It was in full bloom.

00:59:07Oh, my God.

00:59:23Oh, no.

00:59:37Jace is moving. He got a publishing deal.

00:59:41And besides, I mean, nothing's keeping him here anyways, right?

00:59:45I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here.

00:59:55It's like you fall for me again and again.

00:59:59You're leaving. What about the line in the book? You left it on my doorstep.

01:00:03I'm sorry, Jace.

01:00:07I wanted to be honest with you one last time.

01:00:11And the only way I thought you'd be willing to listen after everything I'd done.

01:00:15Yeah, I gotta go.

01:00:19You're not getting off that easy.

01:00:23I need you to be open with me, Jace, not through a book.

01:00:27I had always run from commitment.

01:00:31We started seeing each other, keeping our secret.

01:00:35I thought I'd keep my old life in the past.

01:00:39But I realized we only connected because of our past.

01:00:43Whether you knew it or not,

01:00:47I am so sorry I didn't let you know

01:00:51the moment I realized.

01:00:55No matter which version of you it is, I keep falling for you.

01:00:59I'm done running.

01:01:03Don't listen to that.

01:01:15Where are we running off to then?

01:01:19At the New York City Sound.

01:01:29I love you.

01:01:33I love you.

01:01:37I love you.

01:01:41I love you.

01:01:45I love you.

01:01:49I love you.

01:01:53I love you.
