Mrs. Fletcher (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Welcome Back - full transcript

Eve celebrates a life-changing decision. Brendan has an epiphany about college. Sanjay does a good deed.

It's hard for us
to disappoint someone that we love.

‐Are you sure you're not mad?
‐Bye, Ted.

Hey, you look great.

Going on a date?

Oh no,
it's just a class.

Must be a pretty fun class.

I really like you.

I like you, too.

I can't‐‐ We can't.
I'm sorry.

Brendan, in college,

every single minute
of your existence



‐is entirely up to you.


- ‐You can come study with me.
- ‐

You asshole!
Get the fuck out of my room!

Mm. Oatmeal from a hot plate.

Nothing but the best
for my friends.

I think I'm gonna go home
this weekend.

‐See my family.
‐That's good.

What was I thinking?

‐He drank Muscle Milk.


‐I should've known.
‐This is not your fault.

I know.

Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?

‐Hi.
‐Eve. Good to see you.

‐You okay?
‐Yeah.



Just making a little pit stop.

‐Sure.
‐Hey, sit down. Keep me company.

‐Oh, no, that's okay.
‐No, no, no, come on.

You do something with your‐‐
your hair?

No.

Oh, whatever it is, it's...
keep doing it, 'cause it's...

uh... it's working.

I, um...
I ran into Bethany today,

she told me about the...

Yep, she told me.

Small world.

I didn't know
that you guys were‐‐

We weren't.

I‐‐ I guess we just got sloppy
or something.

Mm. Well, she seems really happy
about it, so...

Yeah, yeah.

It's definitely a curve ball.

And we just have
a lot on our plate as it is.

I really didn't expect
to have two kids

‐at this point in my life.
‐Three kids.

You'll have three kids, Ted.

‐You know what I mean.
‐No, I know what you mean.

So, I think I'm gonna eat this
at home,

but it's nice to run into you.

‐Congratulations.
‐Yeah, thanks.

I wish you could've come
to see me earlier

‐in the semester.
‐I did.

No, I mean when you
first started running

into difficulty.
I would've advised you

to drop Econ,
and focus on your other courses.

Okay, but, like,
what do I do now?

Well...

You could withdraw
from the courses

that you're failing.

Or you can try to buckle down
and complete your work.

Is that still in the realm
of possibility?

Yeah.

I dunno.

I'm pretty far behind.

You should probably discuss it
with your parents,

‐and come up with a plan.
‐Okay.

I'm gonna do that.
Thank you.

If it's any comfort
to you, Brendan...

this happens a lot.

College is a big leap,
and not everyone's ready.

Okay, thanks.

‐Hi.
‐Hello.

I got divorced ten years ago.

It's better late than never
though, right?

That'll be 12.50.

Now that's a bargain.

Hello?

Hi, are you busy tonight?
I'm having a‐‐ well, a party.

‐Oh, sounds like fun. What's‐‐
‐EVE FLETCHER: Oh, good.

Would you mind inviting
the class?

I don't have everybody's
contact info.

What's the occasion?

Eve?

Are you there?

- ‐Hello?
- ‐

Eve, what's‐‐

‐Slow down, jerk.
‐Fuck.

Hey, look, Chloe,
I am right outside.

Uh, I don't know,
will you just please talk to me?

Just...
Please.

Brendan.

Yo.

Hey, uh, listen, man,
Chloe wants you to leave.

She says
you're creeping her out.

‐Sh‐‐ You're in there with her.
‐Yeah.

You shouldn't be here, man,
what are you‐‐

I shouldn't be here, I‐‐
She won't answer my texts,

‐or my calls.
‐Can you blame her for that?

I'm...

I'm trying to apologize.

And I don't really know
how to do that.

Brendan...
It's a little too late for that,

‐okay?
‐Oh, come on.

‐I didn't mean to like‐‐
‐lt doesn't matter.

No one cares what you meant.

Okay?

Wow.

This looks so great.

Yeah, you like it?

I mean I think we're good
on balloons.

Well, I don't think you can ever
really have enough balloons.

‐Thank you.
‐Yeah.

Oh, it does feel weird though,
throwing a party for myself.

No, it's good,
and you need to celebrate

'cause it's a big day.

Ooh. Ah...

‐Wow, okay.
‐Oh, go, sit down. Relax, okay?

Okay, could you grab my pills
for me on the counter?

‐I'm sorry. Thank you.
‐Yeah, of course.

‐Thanks, Amanda.
‐Yeah.

Oof, wow. Oh...

Here.
‐This is embarrassing.

No, no, no, you're fine.

Oh.

‐Thank you.
‐Yep, oh, God.

‐Here you go.
‐Thanks.

Do you mind if I join you?

‐Oh, are... are you in pain?
‐Yeah, sometimes.

Sure.

Thank you.

Thanks again for‐‐
I mean, this is...

It's so sweet,
I really appreciate it.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Thank you for the invite.

I've not been to a party
in a while.

‐Really?
‐Yeah.

I need to make new friends.

That sad?

Well I'm‐‐ I'm really glad
you came.

Yeah, me too.

And don't worry, I'm not gonna‐‐
Not gonna kiss you again.

Well, it's your party,
so I think you can kiss

whoever you want.

I got it.

‐I, oh...
‐No, no, no, no, I got it.

Thank you.

♪ Wish I knew what you were
Looking for ♪

Yeah, it's just‐‐
I should've done this years ago.

Thanks, Jane.

‐But...
‐What took you so long to do it?

Uh, I just felt like
I was stuck with it, you know...

‐Like it was just...
‐Right.

I know that feeling.
It's hard to overcome.

Oof.

Does Brendan know?

I was gonna wait until
he got home for Thanksgiving.

‐Right?
‐I think.

Thought it'd be better
in person. Oh...

‐You want me?
‐Do you mind, Amanda? Thank you.

‐Thank you.
‐Is Brendan your... is he your‐‐

‐Uh, it's my son.
‐Oh.

Yeah.

Hey, J.

- Hi.
- Hey, Julian.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

I didn't know
if you were coming.

You did not reply
to my email.

‐I wasn't sure if I could, uh‐‐
‐EVE: It's so good to see you.

So glad you're here.

Hi.

Would you like something
to drink?

Um, uh, maybe a beer.

‐Okay. Mm‐hmm.
‐Thanks.

This is, uh, this is Julian,
he's in our class.

‐Hi.
‐Hey.

Hi.

Um...
Is it your‐‐

Thanks.
Is it your birthday?

No. I‐‐
I changed my name.

I'm not, um,
Eve Fletcher anymore.

So, who are you?

I'm... Eve Mackie.

It's my real name.
It's the name I was born with.

‐Welcome back.
‐Yeah, welcome back, Eve Mackie.

‐All right.
‐Welcome back.

‐Eve Mackie's here.
‐Hey!

‐Cheers!
‐Cheers!

‐Thanks, you guys.
‐Yeah, come on.

Hey, thanks for distracting me.

This way I'll be able
to focus on my orgo tonight.

Hey...
Good luck with your polymers.

See ya.

Gonna take a shower...

‐Oh, fuck.
‐Oh, uh...

You okay?

I don't plan on‐‐

Thank you for coming to this.
Oh, it's so lame.

‐No, it's not.
‐Yes, Jane.

It's cute.
‐They're nice people, though.

So sweet,
this is the whole class?

‐Yeah, it's this.
‐The lot of 'em?

This is the lot of 'em.

So are you guys still
gonna go on that trip then?

My God.

I didn't cancel it.
So...

Guess it's...
ocean view, here we come.

Hey, that's something.

‐I don't know what I'm doing.
‐No, but it sounds... okay.

It's something.

Maybe I should take a class.

Yeah, I think you would love it.

‐You don't have to do this.
‐lt's really okay.

Everybody gets homesick.
I've been home three times

this semester.


‐Miss my mom's cooking.

I know, it's just a long way
to go.

I like driving at night.

But you're paying for gas.



Hey, why don't we try these?

Awesome.

‐Yeah, and, oh...
‐Great party.

Thanks, guys.

‐Hey.
‐Hey.

Um, I'm really‐‐
Really glad that you came.

Yeah.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Not really.

Yeah, me neither, but...
I thought I saw one today.

- ‐Yeah?
- ‐ Yeah.

That's how I hurt my foot.

I thought I saw a friend of mine
who had... died.

Tried to... walk closer,
and then I fell, and I...

sprained my ankle.

And when I got up
he was gone.

Wow.
Were you scared?

No.

‐Oh.
‐lt was just...

a lot.

I can imagine.

Well...

You know, um...
I‐‐ I‐‐ I took your advice.

There's this girl
that I work with, and,

I just started talking with her.

‐Okay.
‐Like the way I talk with you.

And‐‐ and‐‐ and you're right,
it's really not that hard.

‐See, I told you.
‐Yeah.

Yeah, you were right.

‐Is she cute?
‐Yeah. Yeah.

She's not really my type.

But she's cute.

Hey, sorry to bother you.

No, please.

‐I mean, we're just talking.
‐Oh, yeah...

You have your driver's license,
right?

- ‐Yes.
- Okay.

We're going on a liquor run.

Oh, that's okay, Amanda,
we're good.

No, no, no,
this party need tequila.

‐Okay.
‐So, let's go.

We'll be back soon, come on.

Do you need any cash
or anything?

Uh‐uh. Bye.
‐Okay.

we're living

in a computer simulation.

So, none of this is real?

Like, I don't know,
I guess I'm more

of a spiritual person

Then you would probably
relate to this theory.

Do you like
being in a singing group?

Dude, it is so much fun.

All our voices,
blending together,

just kind of lose yourself

No.

But I remember holding
that paper in my hand,

what that felt like.

I was officially myself
for the first time

in my life.
That was huge.

Well this‐‐
I know this is not that.

No, I just thought
I would feel...

like a little different.

It's so weird.

I hate to be the first

tomorrow's a school day.

Oh, no.
Oh, Curtis, thank you for...
