Rue:
Nate Jacobs was in love.
He didn't know how it happened.
He didn't know why it happened.
But he could just feel it.
And it felt so fucking good.
But it was complicated.
(distorted): We need
to get him to a hospital.
- (grunts) He's so heavy.
- Are you good?
- Just open the door, bro.
- It's unlocked. Just open it.
Bring him to the
hospital. Let's go, please.
Open the door!

♪ ♪
Rue: What was it
about Cassie Howard
that allowed Nate to
fully surrender himself?
With Maddy, it
was always a game.
Cassie was the opposite.
He knew he wasn't perfect.
That he had some issues.
But maybe the reason
he had those issues
is because Maddy
brought out the worst in him.
And maybe if he met Cassie
when he was a sophomore
instead of Maddy...
she would've brought
out the best in him.
How could he have
ever overlooked her?
Underestimated her?
She was everything you
could ever want in a woman.

Rue: He knew it was
a little soon to say,
but he could imagine
spending life with her.
(in slow motion): I wanna
feel you inside of me.
Rue: He was at
home... and in love.
♪ ♪
She was intuitive and emotional.
♪ ♪
She was sensitive
and vulnerable.

She was a strong,

Nate: I don't wanna
weird you out or anything,
but I can imagine
starting a family with you.

(machine beeping)
Rue: Nate began to wonder
if he had brain damage.
Cal: Can you hear me?
Rue: How would he know?
Rue: He knew he could
do a better job than his dad.
He wouldn't fuck his kid up
the way his dad fucked him up.
And the way his granddad
fucked his dad up.
Almighty God, you are the
only source of health and healing.
Cassie: Does your
dad work out every day?
♪ ♪
Rue: Except his dad
was such a fuckin' idiot.
- He couldn't even control himself.
- (moaning)
- I want you to come with my tongue in your ass.
- Ah, fuck.
Rue: And had jeopardized
everything their family worked for.

Rue: Sometimes... he
just wished that his dad
would drop dead
of a heart attack...
(screaming)
and be free of him.
(machine beeping)
But there's no point in
fantasizing about a life
with Cassie when he knew
that Maddy had that disc.
(shower running)
(screams) Fuck!
Rue: What if he could
go back to the beginning?
What would he wish?
Where would things go?
Who would he be?
In you, there is calm.
Hey, man.

- You know you're like a dream?
- (Jules chuckles)
I didn't know you were
such a romantic, Rue.
What can I say?
Oh, fuck... I completely
forgot he goes to our school.
Jules: I love you.
Rue: If this asshole says
anything about doing drugs,
I will literally slit his
throat in the quad.
Rue?
Yeah?
I said, "I love you."
- I love you, too.
- You kinda checked out for a second.
Rue: Please, God,
do not fuck up my life.
- Elliot: Yo, Rue.
- Rue: Hey.
What's goin' on?
- Jules: Hi.
- Hi.
Nothin'.
I'm Jules.
Sorry, this is Jules.
Hey, I'm Elliot.
Nice to meet you.
Sorry, introductions
are, usually, very, um,
overwhelming and...
debilitating for me...
at least.
Uh, so, how do you know Elliot?
We met on New Year's.
(chuckles) Oh shit, yeah.
That was it, New
Year's. That's...
That's where we met.
Jules is my girlfriend.
Wow... I didn't
know you were, um...
In a relationship?
Rue: The other thing I
wish I could mention is
I, sort of, spent the last few
days hangin' out with Elliot.
(strumming electric guitar)
Which was cool 'cause
he makes a ton of money
selling music stems online,
and we bought a bunch of drugs.
Um... it was nice to meet
you, and I'll see you later, Rue.
- Elliot: Nice to meet you.
- Rue: I love you. Bye.
Fuck. Was it just me, or
was that super awkward?
That was awkward.
- Hey, Cass.
- Hey, Jules.
Rue: Since winter formal,
Cassie had gone through
a low-grade depression.
(sniffs) When was the
last time you showered?
When are you gonna
clean your side of the room?
Wait, when have
you ever been single?
Cassie: I was reading
this article on abstinence,
and how not having sex is
like its own spiritual journey.
- Right.
- The writer compared it to how monks take
their vows of silence,
and I really feel like
that's my journey next year.
- Bitch, I don't believe a word you're saying.
- Why?
Because you love to be loved.
Well...
How do I fix that?
I don't know, when
you wanna say yes,
you just say no.
Nate: Would you like
a ride to this party?
You wanna go to the bathroom?
You able to do this
and not tell anybody?
Yes.
(light music playing)
Rue: But she was
drunk. Not super drunk.
But she never would've said yes if
Maddy and Nate were still together.
'Cause that would
be unforgivable.
Maddy was her best friend.
You just get back
from the hospital?
(door slams)
(Cassie sobbing)
Rue: Maddy couldn't sleep.
And if she were being
totally honest with herself,
she wanted to be in that
hospital bed with Nate.

Nate sent me the most beautiful
text message this morning.
Really? What he say?
(melancholy music playing)
That's so sweet.
Yeah, I know he's
a horrible person,
but I'm kind of torn.
When are you
getting off the phone?
Why do you care?
Because I wanna talk to you.
Hey, Cass, I'm gonna go hang
out with my best friend Theo
and I'll call you later.
Okay. Okay, bye.
Rue: Babysitting wasn't
her first choice of a job.
(cheering)
I'm sorry, but 17-year-olds
can't donate eggs.
That's fucking retarded.
Rue: She liked the
kid she babysat for.

Thanks.
Thank you for being so sweet.
(softly): That's all.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I feel like I would
look so sexy pregnant.
Maddy, please do
not get pregnant.
I wouldn't wear any of
those nasty maternity clothes.
I would just be
me... plus pregnant.
Remember when I got pregnant?
Yes, and it would
be nothing like that.
Well, speakin' of baby daddies,
I've seen the photo that
Ethan posted of the two of you.
It's cute as fuck.

the hospital a few days earlier.
Cal: I have a
hard time believing
you don't know
who did this to you.
- Dad, just leave it alone.
- Well, I'm not going to.
Nate: Yeah, well, you should.
Rue: It's one thing
to dislike your parents.
It's not like you have a choice.
But if you dislike your kid...
well, that's sort of your fault.
I just have a hard time
believing it was unprovoked.
He's our son.
I know... I know.
I'm just sayin'.
(Cassie on phone, crying)
I just wanna kill myself.
Rue: As soon as Nate had
been released from the hospital...
he wished he was
back in the hospital.
Just take a deep breath.
Nate, I'm legit going
crazy right now.
You can't do this to me.
- Suze: Lex?
- What?
What's going on
with your sister?
Lexi: I think she's having
a nervous breakdown.
About what?
Lexi: I don't know.
Being single or something.
No...
those aren't the emotions
of a single person.
Rue: The only way Nate was
able to calm Cassie down enough
to stop crying
was to tell her...
I promise we can meet
in person next weekend.
Rue: But then he said something
that totally freaked her out.
(dramatic music playing)
Nate (on phone): If Maddy
finds out, she's gonna spend
the rest of her life
trying to kill me.
I know.
Nate: But she'll
actually kill you.

Rue: Now, at the time,
I didn't know how much
the Elliot thing upset Jules.
But I never thought that
Jules was like clingy or jealous,
so I didn't think
it'd be a big deal.
- It is a big deal.
- Why?
The fact that you're even
asking me to explain it to you
- is kind of an even bigger deal.
- Oh, I don't understand
how such a small fucking thing
has become such
a big fucking thing.
- 'Cause it hurt my feelings.
- Rue: Why?
'Cause I can tell you
have a crush on him.
I do not have a
fucking crush on him.
Jules: Then why else would
you forget meeting him?
- Like, "Oh, that's right. New Year's."
- Jules, it's not like that.
- "Silly me."

Well, I hope not.
That would really suck.

or else I'm gonna get
grounded for another two weeks.

Rue: Meanwhile...
Fezco had a new house guest.
Ashtray was so pissed off
he couldn't even speak to Fez.
(sighs)
- Good morning!
- Morning.
Rue: Fezco couldn't
understand the whole story.
(dog barking)
But apparently Faye had pushed
the motel manager
off the balcony.
(manager yelling)
- (dog barking) -
(helicopter hovering)
The fucking cops
are looking for Faye.
What the fuck!
(cries) I, I didn't do anything.
Rue: Unfortunately,
Custer wouldn't leave her.
I know, dude, but
she's the love of my life.
Rue: And the last
thing Fezco needed
was the cops finding
Faye with Custer.
- (whines) - Get
in the fucking vent.
- (banging on door)
- Faye: Ow.
Officer: I know you're
in there. Open up!
-(banging continues) -Custer:
Oh my god. Get in the fucking vent!
I love you.
Rue: Custer told
Fez he could find her
behind the dumpster
of the new Taco Bell.
(rap music playing
on car stereo)
Don't look at me like that.
The only reason
that I went so crazy
is because the motel manager
kept saying such mean things.
I honestly don't give a fuck.
Rue: So Faye
came to live with Fez.
Yo, don't touch nothin'.
- Don't talk to Ash.
- Okay.
And don't go in my
fuckin' room, all right?
I promise.
- Want some of my sandwich?
- Faye: Okay.
Cassie, I asked you a question.
Lexi: She didn't see anything.
I'm not asking
you. I'm asking her.
I already told Mrs. Jacobs
I didn't see anything.
I know. We just
don't believe you.
I'm telling the truth.
Look, Cassie, I'm
more than happy to get
the Chief of Police, Bill
Greenwood, involved.
Old family friend.
Maybe he should have
this conversation with you.
With everyone,
in fact. You know?
Get everyone's cell phones.
Text histories.
Find out what exactly happened.
Should we do that instead?
Rue: Now, what scared
the shit out of Cassie...
was last night she texted Nate.
(text notification)
- (phone ringing)
- Hello?
Nate (on phone): Don't
ever put that in writing again.
I'm sorry.
Don't look at her. Look at me.
- Why would you say that?
- What?!
- What was I supposed to do?
- Not say anything.
You heard him! He was
going to call the police!
No, he wasn't. He was bluffing,
and you fell for it 'cause
you're a fucking idiot!
- Why do you even care?!
- Because you just ruined someone's life!
Fezco almost killed Nate!
That was his decision.
Rue: Lexi had thought
about that night a lot.
How could Fezco be so kind to
her, and so violent towards Nate?
She couldn't remember the last
time someone her age asked her
so many questions about herself.
He actually cared about
what she had to say.
And then, 10 minutes later...
almost beat Nate
Jacobs to death.
And even if Nate deserved
it, it was a horrible thing to do.
It made her think
about her entire life.
How she's always
been so passive.
How she never had the
courage to say anything.
And even the time when she did
get the courage to say something?
Rue, you really
need to get help.
What, are you gonna tell
my mom or something?
Yeah, if you don't stop.
Okay.
- (snorts)
- She backed down.
Suze: Hon...
I don't wanna scare you...
but somethin' happened to Rue.
She's okay. She's okay.
But I think she overdosed.
(somber music playing)
Oh...
Come here. Come here.
(Lexi crying) It's my fault.
Rue: She hated
herself for being so weak
and passive and afraid.
So, a couple of days
after Cal came over,
she decided to say something.

You sure she's a good influence?
She's part of the reason you
decided to get on that train.
Yeah, but she's not the
one who got on the train.
It still doesn't
answer my question.
You know what I feel like
nobody in my life understands?
Is that like drugs are honestly
the only way I can be myself.
Yeah, I, I don't
think that's true.
Nah, it is true.
Like when I first met you,
I would've never had
the balls to just, like,
- come up to you and talk to you.
- Why?
Rue: I don't know. I'm just
like a deeply shy person.
And like with
Jules, right? Like...
when I first met
her, I was just...
immediately in love.
- In love?
- Rue: Yeah.
When you say it out loud
it kind of sounds small.
Elliot: What's a bigger
feeling than love?
Loss.
Elliot: You think?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
I don't know. Maybe
that's what it was, right?
Like...
as soon as I saw her, I was
just immediately afraid to lose her.
Who have you lost?
Uh, my dad.
- Meaning?
- Meaning he's dead.
Shit, I'm sorry.
It's fine. You
didn't, like, kill him.
How was he killed?
Rue: Oh, he wasn't.
- Are you fucking with me right now?
- (Rue laughs)
Uh, no, it was, it was cancer.
Shit.
(Rue sighs)
Yeah.
- How old were you?
- Rue: I was 14.
- So recently.
- Not really.
Elliot: I feel like
that's kind of recent.
I don't know. I guess.
Honestly it feels like
fuckin' forever ago.
Is that why you
started doing drugs?
(chuckles) That's
funny. That's what, uh...
That's what everybody
asks in rehab.
- Elliot: What do you mean?
- Uh, just that, you know, like,
I wish it was that
simple, you know, like...
"Well, my dad died, so
I started doing drugs."
- Elliot: Yeah.
- Yeah.
I feel like everyone's
looking for like a...
cause and effect.
Sometimes shit's
just like is what it is.
Rue: Yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
To be honest, if my
dad was still here,
I'd probably still
be doin' this shit.
(Rue snorts, grunts)
How does Jules not know
that you're doing drugs?
Ugh, 'cause I'm good at my job.
Do you think it's a good
thing that we're friends?
Yeah, why?
I just feel like...
we might not bring out
the best in each other.
I feel like I'm okay with that.

But she couldn't
think of anything,
which made her realize
Ethan might not be the problem.
Mmm. (imitates gunshot)

yourself is you can't really talk about it.

I'm trying to tell you!
I fucking hate myself!
Every day you get out of bed...
It's an act of courage.
That's easy for you to say.
You don't have like
fucking mental problems.
Yes, I do. Why do you
think I look like this?
Are you kidding?
I wish my mental problems
made me look like you.

You're like the most beautiful
person I've ever fucking seen.

heteronormative standard.

you fucking joking?!

Kat was depressed because

But she couldn't

Ethan might not be the problem.

Rue Kat hated herself.
But the problem with hating
yourself is you can't really talk about it.

the whole world
joined a self-help cult

all your life problems,
but it is gonna solve...

You're one of the bravest,
most beautiful human beings

Yes, you are.
No, like... seriously. I'm not.

I'm trying to tell you!
I fucking hate myself!
Every day you get out of bed...
It's an act of courage.
That's easy for you to say.
You don't have like
fucking mental problems.
Yes, I do. Why do you
think I look like this?
Are you kidding?
I wish my mental problems
made me look like you.
- Trust me, you don't.
- Kat: Trust me, I do!
You're like the most beautiful
person I've ever fucking seen.
Maybe by a white, cis-male,
heteronormative standard.
Oh my god. Are
you fucking joking?!
(yells) Kat! Are you
fucking serious?!
That's not you fucking
talking! It's the patriarchy!
It is me talking!
You are not listening!
No! Society puts
things into your mind!
I don't care about
society! I feel like shit!
Kat, you need to smash
all beauty standards.
But I can't even get out of bed!
You have to love yourself.
You need to find your
inner fuckin' warrior!
