Life Unexpected (2010–2011): Season 2, Episode 7 - Camp Grounded - full transcript

Cate, Baze, Ryan and Math volunteer to be chaperones on Lux's school camping trip.

Previously on Life Unexpected...

You've met Mr. Daniels.

- You're a...
- Teacher.

You don't have to be alone.

I mean, there's plenty of guys
who would date you for real.

You seem to forget I'm your boss.

So, um, Julia's your ex.

Yes, Julia and I dated.

According to Paige, she
was the love of your life,

which is a pretty big thing to
never mention in three years.

When you and I broke up,
Julia and I slept together.



We didn't even really talk after that...

until the day before our wedding.

Julia came to me,

and she said that she
thought she was pregnant.

What if she had been pregnant?

Would you have called off the wedding?

I don't know.

Baze told me everything, Cate.

He said you were over at his loft.

He said it was you
that was having doubts.

He said you were afraid that
you were in love with him? No!

I-I put those feelings to bed
the second that I said "I do".

What would you have done?

Not now, but then? If he had
told you that he loved you?



I don't know.

Um...

I was... I was going to shower,

but you know, you... you go ahead.

Yeah. I guess the days of us

showering together are over, huh?

Well, I hope not.

Um, I mean, that's why we
have couple's counseling today.

Well, you know, you could
just sneak over to Baze's

and use his shower.

Do you really want to start this again?

Because I am not the only one
that did something wrong.

Okay, see, now, I slept with someone

while we were broken up.

You went over to Baze's

the night before our wedding,

and you said you loved him.

No, I said,

"What if a part of me was in
love with him?" is what I said.

A part of you?

Do you hear how crazy that sounds?

Okay, so what, so now
you think I'm crazy?

Uh, yeah, "part of me" does.

You... you going to use
the bathroom, or...

No, I'm too upset to shower.

I'm too upset to even be
in the same house with you.

Well, you know what,
soon you won't have to be,

because you have Lux's
school camping trip.

No, we have Lux's school camping trip.

But you know what?
If we can't even share a bathroom,

I don't know how we are going
to sleep in a tent together.

You know what?
You're right.

Count me out.

Knock, knock.

What are you doing?

This is my version of breakfast in bed.

Maybe someday soon,
I can bring you the real thing.

After we... You know.

Sex seems a little
premature, don't you think?

Guys don't like to hear the
words "sex" and "premature"

in the same sentence.

We can't do this here.

Don't most people...

start with dinner?

Actually get to know each other

before falling into bed together?

I'm not most people.

Right.

You're my employee.

And that's complicated.

And I'm looking for something simple.

Oh, I'm so simple, it hurts.
Come on.

All right.

Look, if we go out,
we have to be discreet.

No one at the office can know about us.

No, I'll find a place
that's off the beaten path.

There's a... there's a hoagie hut

halfway between here and Salem.

I was hoping we'd go
someplace that required

a little forethought and planning.

Tomorrow night, I will find a nice spot

that requires reservations and shoes.

I'll have my assistant
check my calendar.

I'm your assistant.

Yep.

Definitely simple.

Thank you for remembering
your permission slips.

In return, I give you your Holy Bible

for this weekend's camping trip.

It says what to pack,

where to be at 8 a.m.
sharp tomorrow morning,

a summary of all our activities,

this trip would be completely lame

if it wasn't going
to be totally awesome.

Mm-hmm.

It's kind of ironic, right?

We were latchkey,
borderline homeless kids,

and now we're signing
up to sleep outside?

You realize this'll be

the first time we've
gone anywhere together?

You mean when we weren't
running away from someplace else?

Yeah.

I don't know, I'm just...

I'm glad you're here

to do this with me.

You know, with
everything that's going on

with Cate and Ryan.

They're chaperoning the trip, right?
Cate and Ryan?

Yeah. And Baze.

It's going to be like
Survivor: Three Stooges Edition.

Hmm. Well, good thing
other chaperones are coming.

Mr. Daniels is coming.

What?

Hey.

You can't go camping.

Not only is half my grade going,

but my entire family is, too.

I just want to have fun.
I don't want to deal with

this whole red light, green light thing.

That's not what I'm doing.

Really?

Right. 'Cause you kiss me, and then,

and then you start dating Paige.

And you break up with Paige

because you say you care about
me and you want to help me.

And then you pawn me off on
some special ed therapist...

who, by the way, has given
me like 1,000 disability tests

- to figure out why I'm such a moron.
- You're not a moron.

I have a thing for a guy

who pulls me in just to push me away.

So, yeah, actually, I am a moron.

Look, I broke up with Paige because...

Okay, you know why
I broke up with Paige.

It's the same reason I can't be
your tutor anymore.

I thought giving us some distance

would let us both move on.

I'm all for distance.

So get out of camping.

You came because you feel like
your marriage is in trouble.

What issues are you trying to resolve?

My only issue is that I don't understand

where the hell my husband is.

I see we're dealing
with some anger issues.

What we're dealing with is a guy

that won't admit he is wrong.

yeah, you know, apparently,
I can't cross the street

without doing something
to screw up my marriage

and yet...

You know, he practically
impregnates his ex-girlfriend,

who I never heard of before last week,

and he never mentions that
he's dealing with any of this

until he's caught.

I mean, I was putting

my flowers in her vase.
How is that not wrong?

Okay, what are you writing?

Cate.

A relationship is a two-way street.

Take a step back,

think about what your
expectations were going in...

My expectations were for him
to show up here, and he didn't.

I expected my marriage to
last longer than 30 seconds.

My expectations were not that high.

Maybe we should reschedule
for when you're both available.

Why do I feel like you're
already on his side?

That's an interesting question.

Why do you?

We should reschedule.

Do you have a sleeping bag?

Not yet, but Cate's going to take us

to get some supplies after practice.

Can we get a thermos so
we can sneak in some booze?

They might search our stuff.

But Cate can't go anywhere without wine,

so we let her sneak it in,
and then we'll steal some.

I'm so glad you use your
genius for evil instead of good.

So... you're a foodie, right?

Can't tell if that's an insult.

No. I mean, you like food, so

if I really wanted to impress Emma,
where should I take her

to dinner, tomorrow night?

Nowhere, because you're chaperoning.

The camping trip.

That's tomorrow?

I thought that was next weekend!

Hey, math, can I talk
to you for a second?

It's about the camping trip.

Don't tell me you forgot about it, too.

No, no, no. Something came up,
and I just need to get out...

No one is getting out of this weekend.

I've been planning this for months,

and we need eight chaperones.

So if anyone has an issue,
I don't want to hear about it!

We're going camping, damn it.

And we're going to have fun!

Hey.

Hey!

So? Are you stoked
for your camping trip?

Ha ha, get it?

Stoked? Like you stoke a fire?

Ha-ha. How long you been
waiting to say that one?

About an hour.

So you fired up?

Okay! So we have got the,
uh, last of our stuff.

We should all be set now.

What is all this crap?

You have a bear-proof food container,

you have bear deterrent spray

and bear bells with magnetic silencer?

Yeah. You didn't hear
about the bear attack

in Montana last summer?

Yeah. I heard it was in Montana.

Mm. Okay, I'm going to go change.

Save some of this fun
for the camping trip.

Cate, what are you doing?

We're supposed to be teaching her

how to hear the call of the wild,

not how to blind it with pepper spray.

I don't know what I'm doing, okay?

I am not a camper. Ryan is.

Not that he is going to be there.

Wait a minute. Ryan's not going?

I need to not go. How
did he get out of it?

Oh, um, well, he said that
he didn't want anything to do

with me, and then he didn't even

show for theraphy today so...

you know? Whatever.

A weekend away from his stupid
face is exactly what I need.

I mean, even his stubble looks

smug and self-righteous, you know?

This is going to be fun.

Yeah? Us, doing this together?

Does math know that Ryan's not going?

What's it like only to
hear what applies to you?

Just answer the question.

Why? Do you think it's a big deal

that we're down one chaperone?

Hi, Emma.

I, uh, I wanted to talk to you

about our date

oh. You're canceling.
Why am I not surprised?

Whoa, whoa! No.

Not at... not canceling.

Not at all, actually.

I'm calling to extend the date.

Instead of just Saturday night,

what about Saturday?

like, all day?

Hell, let's throw in
Sunday while we're at it.

I've... I got the perfect place

to get to know each
other a little better.

And... it is so off the beaten path

that you'll have to wear hiking boots.

No, seriously, do you have
hiking boots and a sleeping bag?

Ah, Jones!

You gave me your check.

You know that we're only
going for one night, right?

You don't have to match all the time.

What's your boss doing here?

Tell me you didn't bring a date.

No. I brought a chaperone.

To take Ryan's spot.

You're welcome.

Uh, okay, when you said camping,

I thought you meant just us.

Well, it is going to be just us.

And, uh, well, half
of... Half of Lux's class,

math, and Cate. Uh-huh.

Now, you said you wanted
simple and uncomplicated.

What is more simple than
getting back to nature?

Okay. Come on.

Is it okay if I, uh...?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'll just sit with, um...

Hey.

Sit here.

Lux, uh-huh.

You came.

I came for Lux.

Now, this is an exercise

in team building.

There are three treasure
chests out there.

I've given each team a map which will

lead you to an obstacle

to your team's chest.

And what's the prize?

Once all the chests

are back at camp, we'll share

what's inside.

But what do the winners get?

That's not the point, Courtney...

The winners get a week
off English homework.

Mr. Daniels is pretty bad.

He is whatever*

to be on the same team, so
you might as well talk to me.

Whenever you want to
apologize for skipping therapy,

I am listening.

Hey, Baze,

can I see your bandana?

Here's the map.

Yeah. Let's switch our team.

Everyone have their maps?

Okay, stay on the trail, stay together,

and stay hydrated.

Campers ready?

Let's do this!

You do know we're going in circles.

Lux, do you want me to lead?

I think it's, uh,
that way. No, it's just

this map sucks.

These symbols, they
look like teletubbies.

Okay.

This thing, it's-it's broken.

I think we need to turn around.

Wait a minute.

There's Baze.

Come on, Baze!

Ha-ha!

Are you kidding me?
We were ahead of them.

We were, until someone started

navigating teletubbies.

All right, Ryan, you got it, buddy.

Is it wrong

that I hope that he falls?

Everything okay

with you two?

It's a long story.

I'm not saying what
Cate did was worse...

Yeah, it all started about two
months before we got married.

Yeah, yeah, you know, I
don't want to take sides.

And yet, you know what,
I probably did have

cold feet before the
wedding, only because

I was sensing what he was going through.

Good job, buddy.

I mean, if you think about it,

the way he was acting because of Julia,

it's probably what drove me
to Baze's in the first place.

Sounds like you and Nate had a

really complicated relationship.

yes, it is, it's complicated,

and that is what Ryan doesn't get.

And I haven't even told
you about high school yet.

You know what, I think I'm up.

All right, Emma!

Yeah!

I need off

your crazy ex's team...
she's like a windup toy

that needs to be institutionalized.

Yeah, I would trade, but
Cate and Ryan, they're like

a ticking time bomb, and all
I can do is try to defuse it

before they explode all over everybody.

Look it, we'll get our alone time later

in the tent, okay? Mm.

Wait, you should go.

I obviously suck at leading.

Lux, what's wrong?

Nothing. I just... go.

Tasha.

Come on, Lux.

Nice.

Come on, blue, come on!

Cate, grab it... grab it
higher, above the knot.

We're not on the same team, remember?

I'm just saying, grab it higher.

There it is.

Oh... if at first you don't succeed...

Bite me.

Huh, okay, according to the map,

we should be right on top of it.

All right, everybody, find the treasure!

Thanks. You know what?
Thanks a lot for that!

You intentionally throw me off

so you guys could

I didn't make you slip
off the rope, Cate.

Why don't you stop
blaming everyone else for

your mistakes? Right. 'Cause I'm

the one that can

hey, you guys,

will you knock it off?

Here's the blue treasure chest.

It's a cooler.

Ha-ha! That's ours!

Hey! Don't-don't help them!

We found your chest...
your team has to help us

find ours. No, our team's

going back to camp with our chest.

Why don't you just go back to leading

your team astray? You will realize

you don't get to decide
the rules for everything.

Come on! Give me this!

Give me the chest!

I'm sorry, okay? I am.

When you grow up, you will realize

that all relationships are complicated.

I mean, it is not like you
see in the movies and TV.

You know? You can't
always kiss and make up.

Hey! There it is!

The red chest!

Oh.

Marshmallows?

Oh. Lame.

Now we have to drag this
bitch all the way back.

Dude, our campground's right there.

It'll take an hour to walk,
and, like, five minutes to swim.

Yeah, if we swim it across,

we'll get back before everybody else.

We could totally win.

I could get this mud off.

Uh, you know what?

I-I think I'm gonna walk.

Why? What's wrong?

Um... I'll, uh, I'll come with you.

Wait a second, isn't it faster to swim?

What, can you not swim?

I don't...

Feel like going in the lake anyway.

We can just walk back.

Uh, you know what, Tasha, um, you go.

I will... I'll walk with Lux.

Is that... is that cool?

Yeah.

Uh, Emma, you want to walk with us?

You know, I think I'd rather swim.

There she is. Finally.

It was a long walk... and we got lost.

Did the, uh, red team win?

Uh, no. We got disqualified

because we didn't cross
the finish line together.

And because someone's
mom sunk the blue chest,

we don't have any dinner.

Baze and Ryan went to
town to get some more food.

And we're playing truth or
dare, if you want to go next.

I'm good, thanks. And not ten.

I'll go next.

Dare.

Okay, um...

I dare you to kiss a
girl at this campfire.

Come on. Um...

Unless you want to make it a boy.

Let's try this again.

Lux... truth or dare?

If you want to sit
here, you have to play.

Fine.

Dare.

Go tell Mr. Daniels that he's hot.

Truth.

Uh, okay, who was the
last guy you kissed?

I don't remember.

God, you're hopeless.

What do you mean,

you don't remember? Bug.

Tasha,

truth or dare?

Truth.

Why are you friends with such a loser?

Yo, yo, dinner's here, everybody!

Time to eat!

Lux, I'm sorry, she's a bitch.

Doesn't matter... I didn't
come here to hang out with her.

Hey, why don't we go snag
some wine from Cate's tent

and go down to the lake?

Lux... this is what
we came here to do...

be like everybody else.

And I know this high school camp

stuff is kind of lame.

I just want to experience it for once.

Tash, Lux,

you coming?

Come on.

Hey, um...

You go.

Go, it's all right.

Yeah.

Now, this,

this is camping. Hey, you want
some fries with that? Yeah.

Hey, well, at least Lux's dads are cool.

Yeah, let's...

Cate.

Cate, wait.

Are we having fun yet?

For the record, I've
had a lot of bad dates,

but this goes down as the worst.

Really?

Mm-hmm. Worse than

the dude who wore guyliner?

It was man-scara.

Mm.

You know... all I wanted to do tonight

was to get to know you better,

but instead, I've been assigned

to sleep in a
two-by-two space

with your lunatic ex. What?

Hmm. Wait, where am I sleeping?

Mm, with Ryan, because boys and girls

can't sleep in the same tent together.

That's awesome.

Yeah, it's school policy.

My blackberry has no reception,
so I can't even text anyone

to bitch about how miserable this is,

or about how clearly I am the
last thing on your mind, mm.

And about the fact that
I have mosquito bites

in places that mosquitoes
shouldn't be able to access.

Well, that's not true.

Now, don't make me show you, really.

No, no, no, not about the mosquitoes.

About you being the
last thing on my mind.

Come with me.

Come on.

Step, step.

All right, this...

Is why I went with Ryan in town.

Because I wanted to do something,

something that required
forethought and planning.

Like a real date should.

And, um...

What is a real date without a dance?

You wanna?

Hey.

Lux.

What?

What are you doing?

Well, supposedly collecting firewood.

And checking to see how you are.

You all right?

I'm okay.

No, I just, I...

I thought this trip
was gonna be different.

Fun, you know?

But Cate and Ryan...

I-I don't know if
they're gonna fix things.

And Baze is with Emma.

An-and Tasha...

I-I just feel like
she's leaving me behind.

Like today, they all went in the water,

and I just kind of stand
on the shore and watch.

Yeah, I heard.

So you don't know how to swim.

You can learn.

Look, I know that you want to fit in.

As much as you pretend that you don't.

But there's a reason that you don't.

All those other kids, um...

Kids trying to be grown-ups.

You are grown-up...

Trying to act like a kid.

What are we doing?

I keep telling myself to stay away,

and I thought that

not tutoring you would
create some distance.

The problem is,

I don't want any distance.

So what do we do?

They're all back up
at camp eating, right?

Yeah.

Well, you want to learn how to swim?

Not...

Not really.

It's cold. Come on, eeyore.

To overcome your fears,
you got to take the plunge.

Don't worry, I'm right here.

Cate, wait, where are you
going? Wherever you aren't.

Aren't there some starving
kids you want to feed

or some puppies you want to save?

You know, this whole time,
you have been pretending

to be this great guy,
and I have just been

trying to be worthy of you.

I mean, I put you up
on this giant pedestal

like you're perfect.

What can't you understand, huh?

All I was trying to
do was the right thing.

God, I love it... when you lie,

it's "doing the right thing,"

and when I lie, I'm
a dysfunctional shrew.

It was the right thing, Cate!

I mean, how many frickin'
times have you railed at Baze

for not being accountable,
for not being there

when you were pregnant?

I did what I thought
you'd want me to do.

Really! Yes, I really wanted you

to sleep with yot everyone else.

And then lie to me about it

on our wedding day!

All right, you want me to
admit that I'm as bad as you?

Is that what you want?

You want to blame
everyone except yourself?

I mean, you spent what,
16 years blaming Baze,

and now what, you're gonna
spend the next 16 blaming me?

Don't worry about everyone else.

Just take some responsibility for

- the choices that you make.
- I am, Ryan!

What do you think I'm doing here?!

Okay? Every single
part of me wants to run,

but I am here, I am fighting

for you!

I'm fighting for... don't you
touch me! Cate, Cate, Cate...

Stop it. No, don't! Don't you...

Did you see someone?

No, I just... I heard what you heard.

What if someone saw us?

I don't know.

Wait.

Here.

Wow. I know.

That may have been the
best sex we've ever had.

Yeah. Well, you know what
they say about breakup sex.

Makeup sex.

Wait, we're not making up, are we?

Are you walking away from this marriage?

I don't know.

You know, it's, like, uh...

I won't be able to look
myself in the mirror

if I leave...

...Or if I stay.

What I did, yeah, you know, I suck.

Okay, we all know I suck.

But you knew exactly who I
was, Ryan... I mean, you know,

and that's the difference.

I mean, you knew that I sabotage things

and I screw them up.

You knew about my history with Baze,

and you knew that it was complicated.

I mean, you knew
exactly who you married.

You know, and I married you

because I thought I
knew exactly who you are,

and now I don't even recognize you.

You know, and maybe that's the reason

why you can't look yourself in
the mirror, because you don't

recognize yourself, either.

Mind-blowing.

Yeah. It was.

I meant the fries.

So did I.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry. Um...

Someone said that you were
on the bus... I didn't know

that you were with her.

I'm-I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

You should go talk to her.

No, you know, I think that
I have ignored you enough

on this trip already. I know I told you

that I wanted something simple,

but I think... Maybe I just said that

because my life has been so complicated.

What you have...

With Lux and Cate,

you can't change that,

and I'm not gonna ask you to.

Cate needs you now.

Really, otherwise I'm gonna
have to hear about it all night.

So please, go.

You okay?

You're the one person

I thought would be here for me.

Cate, I'm here.

Cate, look at me.

I'm here.

No, you're not.

You moved on.

You know? You're over me.

You're hanging out on a bus with Emma,

you're acting all buddy-buddy
with Ryan when he won't even

talk to me, you know,
when he doesn't even know

if he wants to stay married to me.

I married him.

I mean, I married him
because he was better than me.

You know, he was supposed
to be this perfect guy...

that was our deal... and he's not.

He's...

He's me.

I don't want to be
married to me... I hate me.

Well, you shouldn't.

I don't.

Come here.

Come here.

Oh. Hey, Tash.

What are you doing, Lux?

What do you mean?

Don't play dumb, okay?

I saw you. Mr. Daniels.

Oh, my God, that was you?

God, we were freaking out.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't
tell you... I wanted to.

Are you crazy?

Do you know what you're doing?

Do you know how much trouble
you guys could get into?

Look, I'm sorry if you felt ditched.

Okay? But hooking up with a teacher

isn't exactly a recipe
to make you fit in more.

We've been best friends

since we were seven, Lux...
nothing can change that...

but we don't have to be
these, like, borderline

homeless kids anymore,

looking in from the outside.

We have a shot at being
regular teenagers, together.

Okay? So don't screw that up, please.

Whatever's going on between
you two, you need to stop.

What the hell, man?

Yeah, if I wanted to
spoon, I would've...

Taken a tent with Cate.

Yeah, she was pretty
upset last night, huh?

Yeah. I noticed.

You know... what she wants you to say.

I mean, you know, maybe you could just

throw her a bone and say it.

You know... I'm so used
to you being the problem

in our relationship.

If it wasn't you, it was... it was Cate.

I guess it's just hard
to admit it could be me.

Well...

well, trust me, blaming
yourself is easier.

You know, Cate, she's always
been this broken person.

Ever since I met her, I just felt
like it was my job to fix her.

It was kind of our deal, you know?

I mean, even on the radio,

I was this...

Stable, good guy, and she was the crazy,

screwed-up sidekick.

I felt like I had to be that guy to her.

'Cause if I wasn't...

She wouldn't have marry me.

Now, who knows?

She knew what she was getting.

A guy just like everybody else.

The night on your deck,

the day of the wedding...

She might've chosen you.

No, she wouldn't have.

She loves you, Ryan.

Trust me, she's told me
that many, many times.

You guys were both afraid
of the same thing...

that whatever was going
on on your wedding day

was gonna drive you apart,

it was gonna make the
other one jump ship.

But if you went to all of those lengths

to keep Cate, then...

Don't let her go.

Fight for her now.

Hi.

Hey.

They're packing up camp.

I'm trying to get out of doing anything.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I was, um... just hiding out, too.

So, you and Baze, that's... new.

Yeah. It's, uh...

weird.

And wrong, but...

Why? You're both consenting
adults... no big deal.

Well, I'm... older than him.

By what, a few years?

Yeah, but mentally,
it's more like 20, so...

I'm his boss.

You know, I could lose my job.

So why do it, then?

Why date Baze if there's
all those reasons not to?

Why risk it?

Because...

you're too young to know this...

but a Baze doesn't
come around every day.

Yeah, I guess most guys don't take you

on their kids' camping
trips as a first date.

Or decorate a bus for you.

And take you to the ocean.

Hypothetically.

I've spent so much time
trying to convince myself

that we won't work

and that we're doing something
wrong, but it doesn't...

Feel wrong.

Maybe it means it's actually right.

I didn't mean to say all
that; I don't know why I did.

You seem a lot older than 16...
You know that, right?

I'm glad Baze met you.

After all he's been through, he...

he needed you.

Hey, are you guys gonna, uh...

help clean up?

Sure.

I'll just... pee in
the woods one more time.

So I'm gonna really miss that.

So, it was Tasha.

She's the one who saw us,

and she won't say anything.

Don't look at me like that.

Like what?

Like it hurts to look at my face.

Lux, it's not you.

I screwed up, and I keep screwing up.

But what I'm doing...

I mean, what I've done,

it's wrong.

How we feel isn't wrong.

It's just how we feel.

Look, I know that there are boundaries

you don't want to cross and
rules you don't want to break,

but they've already been broken.

They were broken the moment that you

took me to see the ocean,
and we didn't even know it.

It's done.

You know, we can't really change it.

We can't undo feelings you
felt any more than I can.

But if you don't want to do this,

if you think that it's wrong,
then stop talking about it

and stop torturing yourself,

stop torturing me.

You really want to walk away...

Then go, walk away.

Or at least let me.

Thank you for last night.

Mm.

And for understanding.

But... you know that Cate and Lux

are the only people that
I have a relationship with.

I mean, I'd like to have one with you.

That is, if you can get over
the worst first date ever.

Did you notice?

Our seat.

What time's therapy tomorrow?

5:00, I think.

I'll be there.

I can't.

I won't, actually.

What?

Let you go.
