- Probably having sex

- Everyone's gonna find out.
- What?
- I said...
everyone's gonna find out.
- Hey, babe.
Thought you could
use some extra fuel today.
Organic, fair trade,
just how you like it.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Can we just skip today?
- Babe, that post was
obviously some kind
of shitty prank, okay?
No killer is just
gonna confess like that.
- Well, tell that
to all the people asking
if I'm a literal murderer.
- All right, you know what?
Stop right there.
Adelaide Prentiss,
you're under arrest.
Officer Jake Riordan,
hair police.
I forgot my badge.
It's been a while
since I've had to use it.
You've been doing good.
You've been doing real good.
- You mean
the piece of cardboard
that has dog hair stuck to it?
- You remember it?
Well, do you also remember
that every time I flash it,
you have to take a deep breath,
stop messing
with your beautiful hair,
and remember
that I'm never gonna let
anything bad happen to you?
- There it is.
That's what I like to see.
- What would I do without you?
- You'll never have to find out.

- I was on a run,
and I saw your text,
so I thought I'd say hi, so...
Hi.
- Hi, hi, hi. Oh, my God.
It's so early, and my place
looks crazy right now.
- I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have
just shown up like this.
- It's fine.
- Look, I'm about to have
a really bad day,
and I guess I just wanted
one part of it to be good.
I'll talk to you later?
- Wait, wait, wait.
Maybe I can help you with that.

- Bronwyn Rojas.
You waiting for me?
- Where's the laptop?
- Simon's laptop?
Last I heard,
you did not have it, right?
- Yeah, well, now
I really don't have it.
- Wait, you lost it?
- No, I didn't lose it.
It was stolen from me.
There's a huge difference.
- Oh, and you think I stole it.
- Yeah, well, who else knew
that I did not have it?
- Okay, if I've learned
anything from horror movies,
and I have, it's that usually,
the call is coming
from inside the house.
- What are you trying to say?
- Your parents probably
found the laptop
and gave it back
to Simon's family.
Or, I don't know,
threw it off a cliff,
which is probably
the better idea.
- No, no, 'cause if my parents
had found it,
I would have heard
about it immediately
'cause I would have been
grounded permanently.
- You really trust
your parents, huh?
It's cute.
- Yeah, I trust them
more than a drug dealer
one strike away from jail.
Sorry. I didn't mean it.
- Yeah, you did.
You did.
You're late for class.
What would Yale think?
- Guys, I have an idea.
I think somebody killed Simon
to steal his laptop,
used it to get into About That,
and then posted
that insane confession
to freak everyone out.
And also because psychos love
getting credit for their work.
You guys, this is a true crime
podcast waiting to happen.
- Simon posted people's secrets
all the time.
Nobody ever tried
to poison him about it.
- Yeah, I know, but this was
supposed to be a big reveal.
He was building it up.
He'd never done that before.
It was probably so good.
- Yeah, well,
some of the theories
people are posting
are pretty insane.
- Like what?
- Addy, what did we say?
- Don't read the comments.
- Or have others
read them for you.
- Just that four big posts
got teased,
and then four people were
in detention with Simon.
You think those four posts
were about us?
- Or are you saying
that one of us killed Simon?
- Either way, it's insane.
And just to say it,
if anyone in this entire school
was capable of murder,
it seems kind of obvious.
- What is a secret worth
literally killing for?
- Can we just drop this?
- Okay, relax, Cooper.
What would your big secret be?
Oh, my... Cooper, did you skip
a protein shake?
- Ha. Ha.
Vanessa.
- What, maybe he did,
and he doesn't want us to know.
- You offended him.
- Cooper.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
- Oh.
- Eeyore, come on.
Pooh Bear was joking.
Thanks.
What about you?
What would your
deadly little secret be?
- Sorry to disappoint,
but that post obviously
wasn't gonna be about me.
I didn't even read
About That that morning,
and besides,
how could I have planned
to poison Simon
if I didn't even know
he was gonna be
in detention that day?
- Okay.
Addy, relax.
You're clearly not some
secret mastermind killer.
Babe, relax.
- And none of us thought
that cheating post
was about you and Jake.
Right, Keely?
- Oh, yeah.
No, of course not.
Anyway...
- If you want to spend
some time with a counselor,
that's understandable,
but if you're here in class,
let's try to stay focused, okay?
If you go to page 18...
This year, you'll be learning
nothing short of how the world
around you works.
Physics explains
the fundamental laws
of our universe
from the largest galaxies
to the tiniest planets.
Physics is all around you.
It's physics that explains
how you're all sitting
in your chairs right now
and not floating out into orbit.
And if someone were to pull
one of those chairs out...
Seriously?
- I'm so sorry.
I didn't even know
I had my alarm set.
I have no idea how...
- You know phones
aren't allowed in class.
That's worth detention.
Now, where were we?
- What?
- Right...
- Well, I got detention too,
so guess I'll see you there.
- So acceleration
due to gravity is constant.
On Earth, that number is
9.8 meters per second squared.
If you haven't committed this
to memory...
oh, Principal Gupta.
How can I help you?
- Okay. She's just there.
- Yeah.
Addy, can you come
with me please?
I hate for you to miss class.
I just need you
for a few minutes.
- Sorry, what's happening?
- This is Detective Wheeler.
She just needs
to search your lockers.
- What?
Why?
- Do you even have a warrant?
- Oh, we don't need a warrant.
Lockers are on school property.
Look, I understand
it's invasive,
and I thank you
for your cooperation.
- Was there an option
to not cooperate?
- I don't understand.
What are you looking for?
- Well, any piece of evidence
that might help us understand
what happened to Simon.
- Okay, Bronwyn,
is your locker one of these?
- Yeah, it's that one.
- We'll look at Addy's next.
- What if someone put something
in our lockers?
- What?
- Yeah, like, what if someone
put something in there
to make us look bad?
- Wouldn't be the first time
police find evidence
right where they need it to be.
- Yeah, and Bronwyn said
someone put a phone in her bag,
and that's
how she got detention,
and I got detention
in a weird way, too.
- Addy, if you haven't done
anything wrong,
you've got nothing
to worry about,
so just open the locker, please.
- Thank you.
Somebody plant
this peanut oil in there?
- It's moisturizing.
I use it for my hair
and dry skin and blackheads
and... look, this peanut oil
could not have killed Simon.
Peanut oil has to be
cold pressed for someone
with allergies to react to it,
and that's basically
only the super bougie
gourmet kind, basically.
- How do you know that?
- Saw it on the Food Network.
- Maybe that's something
you should keep to yourself.
- We'll run some tests
against the samples
we found in the library.
I think one of you
took Simon's laptop.
If you did,
we're gonna find out, and soon.
I'm sure you had a perfectly
good reason for taking it,
but you gotta tell me now,
because if we find it
and we find you've been
hiding it and lying about it,
especially after I've given you
a chance to come clean,
I don't have to tell you
how that's gonna sound
to a judge, right?
You got something to say?
- Yes, um...
Why are we even talking
about the laptop
when you just found peanut oil
in Addy's locker?
- It's moisturizing,
and, you know,
some of us actually like
to spend money
on makeup once in a while.
- I'm trying to help
you guys here.
This is serious.
Why do you think I'm sitting
here instead of Officer Miller?
I'm a homicide detective.
This is now
a murder investigation.
- What?
- Murder?
- We found peanut oil
in Simon's cup
and only Simon's cup.
We also found capsule residue.
Someone put peanut oil
into a capsule
and dropped it in the water
in Simon's drink.
That happens in the moment,
in the room.
So your teacher left the room.
You didn't see anybody
come in or out.
Nobody had the opportunity
except for the four of you.
- Hey, where were you?
- Damn car broke down
on me, again.
- Why didn't you call me?
- Didn't want you
to miss practice.
No worries.
Car's in the shop now anyhow.
How was practice?
Hey, what's wrong?
- Robyn is a good friend
and a very good lawyer.
- You think I need a lawyer?
- How am I supposed to pay
for a lawyer?
Bet those other kids
probably have someone
on retainer already.
Maybe Jake's family
knows someone?
Are you two okay?
- Why wouldn't we be?
- So you didn't cheat on him?
I read the comments, too.
Addy.
- Cops talk to you again?
- No.
- Okay.
The mayor's kid.
They're gonna try to pin that
on somebody, fast.
Just be you.
- What?
- What are you gonna say to him
when he asks you about it?
They always ask.
And baby,
you are not a good liar.
- You are a model student
from a great family.
Focus on that.
- I think I'm just a bit
nervous about the showcase.
- Got nothing
to worry about there.
You're ready.
- So go to Simon's wake
tomorrow with your family,
pay your respects to the mayor.
So much comes down to optics,
and we have to present you
as you really are:
the innocent girl
who got caught up
in all of this
by sheer bad luck.
- But what if
it wasn't bad luck?
Addy, this girl who was
in detention with me that day...
- I'm going to stop you
right there.
Stay away from Addy.
- Jake's not gonna find out,
and I am not gonna
end up like you.
We are gonna go
to college together,
and after college, we'll get
married and travel the world.
Jake says I'll love Paris,
and when we're ready
to settle down, we'll come back
and raise our kids here,
and he'll go
into the family business,
and I'll be a mom.
But a good one.
And that's always been our plan,
and I won't let anyone
ruin it for me.
- You have to stay away
from the other three suspects,
actually,
especially the one
with the criminal record.
- Nate.
- What time is it?
7:00.
- Are you good?
Is school okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Everything's good.
- Phew. Mm.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Yeah, I was
just finishing dinner.
Was your day as terrible
as you thought it was gonna be?
Ooh, Coop, you gotta try
these little THC sodas.
Oh, my God, they taste so good,
and they're,
like, really mellow.
They chill you...
- I just wanted
to give you what's yours.
- Okay, yeah, they definitely
look better on you.
- I think they'd look
pretty good off both of us.
- Okay, but I, like,
actually did work.
I washed yours
and I folded them.
- That's great.
- Made 'em look all nice.
- That's really good.
- Okay, wait, hold on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
hold on, hold on.
- What's wrong?
- Can we just take it
slow tonight?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, you sure?
- Sure.
- Okay, well, you were gonna
tell me about your day, right?
How was it?
- My day?
Yeah.
- Not much to tell.
- Okay, well, I'ma tell you
about my day,
'cause it was crazy.
Oh, my God, this woman at work
called me flamboyant, Cooper.
'Cause of my nails, I guess?
I don't know.
Flamboyant really feels
like a microaggression.
So I turned into a drag queen
in that moment, okay?
Yes, I said,
I'ma give you flamboyant.
Every single time
she opened her mouth,
I said, "Yes, queen!
"Ooh, you better work
the house down, period, poo.
Ahh!"
And then I ended up by twerking
in the middle of the shop.
I swear to God,
that's what happened.
That's what happened in my head,
Cooper, because Margot is
my supervisor,
so I can't even be sassy
for real to her face.
Like... was your day
as bad as that?
- My day was...
just a different kind of bad.
- Different.
Okay, who was your Margot?
So many options.
Honestly,
I am about ready to lose it
on my AP English teacher.
I mean, this guy never...
- Why you still taking
AP class in college?
It's a high school class.
- No...
- Cooper, you in high school?
- Yeah, I can explain.
- So you lied
about going to college?
I think you need to get dressed.
- Ooh!
Are you gonna go to the wake?
- No.
- Yeah, I guess that'd be
kind of weird as a suspect,
especially after the peanut oil.
- What? Ah!
- Girl, I'm sorry,
but that... hey!
Jake told me.
He was worried about you.
- It prevents acne.
You've asked me
to use it before.
- I don't know, girl.
You had an actual murder weapon
in your locker,
and you were
in detention that day.
- So was Cooper.
What if that post was
about him and Keely?
- Ask her.
I mean, she clearly thinks
it's about you.
Did you see that little stunt
she pulled yesterday?
And did you see Jake's face?
- Not that it even had to be
about someone in detention.
And I feel bad saying this,
but I've always thought
they were a weird couple.
- Totally, right?
So private. No PDA.
Completely the opposite
of how she was with Zach.
- And I saw Keely talking
to Simon at Jake's party.
- Wait, what party?
What was I wearing?
- The lime green swimsuit.
- Mm, so cute.
- Mm-hmm. She looked upset.
- Like, upset like
"Simon found out
she cheated on Cooper" upset?
- Probably.
- Girl, I have to find out.
I'll text Olivia.
She's on student council
with her.
She'll know.
Or Ali. I'll text Ali.
I'm gonna text them both.
I'll text them both.
Ooh-hoo-hoo.
- Was that Mayor Kelleher?
- Simon's mom? Yeah.
She had to come to school today
to clean out his locker,
and she asked me to help.
- Mm.
- Yeah.
Guess she thought
we were still great friends,
even though we haven't talked
since middle school.
And now she wants me
to come to the wake,
so I can take something
to remember him by.
So now we gotta go
to that thing.
- Should we meet after?
Just sounds really personal.
I don't wanna intrude.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I can go by myself.
It's fine.
It's fine.
- No, I'm sorry.
I am overthinking it.
I will go with you
if you really want me to.
- Thanks, babe.
- Yeah.
- And I don't know, maybe we'll
find his diary or something.
You know, he kept one
when we were kids.
Except now it'd have
everyone's secrets in it.
Maybe that'd be
worth going, right?
- Yeah.
- Guess we should get going.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Yesterday, when the cops
were searching us,
you said you got detention
in a weird way, too?
- Yeah.
An alarm went off on my phone
that I know I didn't set.
And I remember what you said
about the phone in your bag,
and I realized anybody
could have set the alarm
to get me in trouble, too.
You don't even need
the password.
- Wait, do you know how
Cooper and Nate got detention?
Hey.
Did you get detention
for a weird reason?
Addy and I did,
and it's almost like
someone wanted us to be there.
- I got detention
like I always do,
being late for class.
- I was late for physics.
I was coming out of gym,
and I couldn't find my phone.
Ended up being two minutes late.
- Where was it?
- Under some lockers.
I guess it must have fallen
out of my bag or something.
- That's weird, isn't it?
- There's nothing
weird about that.
Just another day
in the office for me.
- You're not that bad.
You saved me
from myself yesterday.
You may even be a good guy,
deep inside.
Very deep inside,
even when you're always late.
- Okay, for the record,
I did make an effort
to be on time for the first day.
Just wasn't meant to be,
I guess.
- What do you mean?
- My locker was jammed.
I had to get the janitor.
Dude had to pry it open
with a crowbar.
- On the first day of school?
- Yeah, Ms. Scarecrow
didn't think it was weird.
Gave me detention anyway.
- I think someone set us up.
- Who would do that?
- Maybe the same person
who took the laptop from me?
I mean, someone is clearly
pulling the strings,
and they wanted us
in the room that day.
- Okay, but why?
- I have no idea, but don't you
think we should find out?
- Oh, Bayview,
you are predictable.
- Simon's dead.
A killer is on the loose.
But don't let that distract
you from your selfies.
- I mean, so what
if the police found peanut oil
in Addy Prentiss' locker?
And I thought
I was being obvious.
- Oh, that poor woman.
To lose a son that young.
- Oh, my God,
that's totally her.
- You okay?
- It's peanut oil,
not a homemade grenade.
Vanessa said she didn't
say anything, but...
- Hey, babe, I've been wanting
to ask you something.
Look, I hear gossip, too,
and this is gonna be weird,
but it's bugging me,
so just be honest, okay?
- Mm.
- Do you really think
that post was about...
Keely and Cooper?
Vanessa told me you said
something about it,
so do you think she cheated?
- I don't know.
It seems possible.
- I should tell Cooper, right?
- Jake.
- Hi.
- Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
- My girlfriend.
- Hi, I'm Adelaide...
- Yes, I know.
Would you like
to go to Simon's room?
You can take anything you want.
- Excuse me, Mayor Kelleher...
- Thank you.
Simon would be glad you're here.
Come with me.
- What... don't leave me.
- No, I'll be right back.
- Please don't go.
- It's moisturizing.
- What are you doing here?
- I was...
- What the fuck
are you doing here?
- Relax. I'm here on business.
Pretty sure
I'm not the only one.
- Who are all these old people?
- Campaign donors.
- I see food.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- Find anything?
- I did.
You won't believe it.
Jackpot.
Yeah.
Yeah, video games used to be
our thing when we were kids,
so I thought it was appropriate.
And now I can have an Xbox
at my mom's
and my dad's, so that's cool.
You okay?
- Yeah.
No, I'm just... I'm good.
You should probably put that
in the car.
People don't get the wrong idea.
Right. Dick move.
Thanks, babe.
- Happy to discuss with you,
ma'am.
- Doubtless would not be
the best time, but...
- I can assure you, Detective,
that I had
no intention whatsoever
to discuss the case
with you today,
but I and everybody else
in this town
have seen what just happened
this morning.
They're posting
on his app again, today.
They're taunting you.
- The VPN scrambles
the location.
- There has to be
something else you can do.
- Whoever took that computer
knows what they're doing.
- Well, I'm glad someone does.
What about the peanut oil
in that girl's locker?
- I just got the results back
from the lab.
It's not a match,
but that doesn't mean
she wasn't involved.
And one of them did it.
Actually we're working
on a theory
that all of them did this
together,
which might explain
why, apparently,
none of them saw anything.
- Well, whoever it was,
I want them found
and arrested soon,
or my office will find someone
else to do your job, again.
- Well, I mean... I mean...
- I could check into that.
- Can I bring you anything?
- Excuse us, everyone.
Thank you so much
for being here with us today
to honor our dear Simon.
I know it would've meant
the world to him
to have you all here.
Oh my God, come on.
- Simon was the biggest light
in our world.
His joy,
his love of his friends.
The Russian Nobel prize winner
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
once wrote...
- Get Cooper. Meet me upstairs.
- "Some are bound to die young.
"By dying young, a person stays
young in people's memory.
"If he burns brightly
before he dies,
his brightness shines
for all time."
- Come with me, asshole.
- There was a lightness in Simon
that he didn't even know he had.
That's the hardest part
for our ordeal.
Yes, they took everything
from him,
everything he was,
but most importantly,
they took away everything
he would come to be one day.
There is no bigger crime.
And our hope is that it will
be punished accordingly.
- Fancy seeing you here.
- Oh!
- Hey.
- Hi.
- You know, I've been to three
funerals already this year.
This, by far, best food.
That's a lot funerals.
- Have a lot of cancer friends.
Kind of popular
at the hospital, you know?
You want a crouton?
- He would hate this, right?
I mean,
they're making this into, like,
his mom's political fundraiser.
Everybody's here
pretending to care.
They all just want to be seen.
- Yeah, well, in my experience,
these things always end up
being about the people
in the room,
not the person that died.
Makes sense.
The living are the ones
that need comfort.
Simon is just having a blast
in hell right now.
- Hey.
But it's best
if you focus on the food.
- I wish he was here, like,
making fun of everyone,
pissing off
his fake-ass parents.
Nobody here knew
who he really was,
and...
everybody here hated him.
- Not everybody.
- We shouldn't be
in here together.
- When you said a scarecrow
gave you a detention,
were you talking
about Ms. Avery?
- You just saw her
all dressed in black
and you're really asking?
- I'll take that as a yes.
Who gave you detention?
- Same. Why?
- She gave us all detention.
- So?
It's basically
her signature move.
- And we were all set up.
- By Ms. Avery?
- It just doesn't seem
like a coincidence.
And then there's
the new About That posts.
Somebody's messing with us.
- Yeah, but that person knew
about what happened
with my locker.
You were the only ones
that were there.
- Are you sure you didn't
tell Vanessa?
I mean, the two of you seem to
be gossiping a lot these days.
- Vanessa and Jake
wouldn't tell.
I know them.
I don't know you.
- Oh, well,
let me introduce myself.
I'm not the one who had
peanut oil in their locker
or my signature
in the nurse's log...
- It's not cold pressed.
I already told the cop...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up
for a second, all right?
Why would someone single out
the four of us for anything?
- The About That posts.
The ones Simon was teasing?
What if someone thought
they were about us?
- But they weren't.
- I think it's safe
to assume one was about me.
- Yeah, naturally.
- Weren't you calling me
a nice guy,
like, five minutes ago?
- Mm-hmm, before you were
selling drugs at a wake.
- And you've never done
a criminal thing in your life?
So you guys have no secrets?
- No.
- No.
- No.
And even if Simon thought
he had something on one of us,
that doesn't mean
he got it right.
- Is that why you told Vanessa
that the cheating one
was about Keely?
- Can we go back to the setup?
I think we should go
to the police.
- Yeah, of course
you trust the cops.
- Excuse me?
- You know
what they'll tell you?
That one of us could have
framed the other three
and then pretend
like she was framed too.
I mean, you could literally
be pushing this entire theory
so we don't suspect you.
- Oh, so you're accusing me now?
- Without Simon,
you get to be valedictorian.
- You seem to have given this
a lot of thought, man.
- Maybe you haven't
given it enough thought, man.
- Oh, whatever you say,
detective jock.
- Fuck you.
- The police think
we did it together.
- What?
- Yeah, so this can't happen.
- I'm out of here.
- Hey, Evan.
Are you okay?
- I just lied for you.
Yeah, I told your dad
you went to the bathroom,
but I saw you with Nate
looking like a couple
of coconspirators.
I thought your lawyer had said
to never be seen with him, ever.
- You must really want me
to follow
my lawyer's advice, huh?
- All right.
Okay, look, I get it.
The motorcycle,
the incredible hair, the very...
brooding energy.
That's just not me.
He's cool,
and I play backgammon online.
- But prisons are full
of very cool people,
and I don't want that guy
to bring you down with him.
You're better than that.
You deserve the best.
In the meantime,
I hope that I'll do.
- You're so right.
You are nothing like him,
and that's one
of the best things about you.
- ♪ We'll be a fine line ♪
- Well, this is
very inappropriate, sir.
- Then why do I want
to do it again?
- ♪ We'll be a fine line ♪
♪ We'll be a fine line ♪
- We have a deal,
and it has rules.
We wouldn't see anyone else
because that might
tip people off.
And even if I wanted to,
I would never lie about it.
- No, I know.
But even if you did, right,
it wouldn't really be cheating.
- No, it would be.
I wouldn't do that to you
because I know
you wouldn't do that to me.
- I can't wait to go back
to Greece.
But with you.
With you this time.
- Better be.
- Did you have any fun
without me?
- No.
- Teej!
- Ooh, hey.
- No, it was a total nightmare.
The fuck is that asshole
doing here?
- Oh, don't worry, babe.
I'm sure he'll leave soon.
Nobody'll talk to him anyway.
- Well, whatever you say.
It's your house too.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay, get a room.
- Okay, okay.
- But not your room,
because TJ and I just used it,
and you're gonna wanna change
your sheets first.
- You're fucking with me.
Shut up.
- Mm-mm.
- You and TJ?
- Oh, don't you dare
look at me like that.
It's love, okay?
It is deep.
Deep love, all right?
- Love, yeah.
- Okay, speaking of fucking,
we need you for beer pong
'cause we're gonna fuck you up.
- Yes, yes you do.
- Let's go.
- Come join. Come join.
Let's go.
- Shit.
- I've been looking for you.
You know, you really shouldn't
mix Xanax and liquor.
Trust me.
- It's water.
Nothing to see
or post about here.
- Yeah, you're right.
Your Xanax habit isn't
half as interesting
as what happened
between you and TJ.
- What?
- But I don't know.
I probably won't post it.
Do I want to know what
your asshole of a boyfriend
would do if he found out?
I mean, I can't even blame you
for cheating on him.
You know what?
Nobody has to find out.
I guess we're both full
of surprises, huh?
- You're full of shit.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You ready to go?
- Yeah, yeah.
- What are you doing?
- Hair police?
I turn myself in...
- No, what's going on?
- What?
- You've been acting so weird.
- Can you blame me?
I mean, after the last post...
- You were off before then,
Ads, for a while.
I talked to Coop.
Coop said that there's
no way that Keely cheated.
Did you make that up?
Why would you do that?
Listen, the one thing
that I wouldn't be able to take
is you lying to me.
So just tell me the truth, okay?
Is there anything
that I should know?
Was that post about you?
About us?
- No, no.
No.
But I started the rumor
because I didn't want you
to think it was.
- Jake, I was so scared
of losing you.
I don't know
what I'd do without you.
Probably go bald from pulling
my hair out too much.
That's all I needed to hear.
Come here.
Let's get out of here.
- Please.
Yeah.
- You're late.
You're the one
that told us to come here.
- How did you even know
about this place?
- My mom worked
at the concessions stand.
She'd leave that back door open,
and I would sneak in
and watch the old classics.
Yeah, those were the days.
- Charming.
Why are we here?
- Because Addy's right.
No one can see us meet.
Because the police think
we did it together.
That's what you said.
- Yeah.
Heard the cops talking
to Simon's mom...
in the kitchen.
- If there's one thing we know
isn't true,
it's that we worked together.
- Now that we can
actually agree on.
- Okay, okay, but what if
we need to work together now?
What if it's the only way
to get out of this?
- And why should we trust you?
- Okay, you're right.
I haven't been honest
with you guys.
One of Simon's posts was
gonna be about me, I think.
- What did you do?
- Okay, I'm not ready
to be that honest yet.
- Okay, well, then you have
a motive, but I don't.
None of those clues were
gonna be about me,
no matter what some people say.
- I said I was sorry.
I was worried
Jake would suspect me
and ask, and I just wanted to...
- There's something?
- No.
- What were you
so nervous of, then?
- Her shitty boyfriend
getting ideas.
- Nate Macauley calling
my friend shitty?
- Right, sorry, man,
it's not like football players
have a tendency
for violence or anything.
- Hey, leave him out of this.
- I'm trying to help you here.
- Well, don't. Okay?
I cheated on him.
I cheated on him, okay?
And he asked me, and I lied.
I thought we were over.
I thought he didn't
love me anymore.
He'd gone on that
People to People Trip
in Greece.
He was gone all summer,
and he wasn't texting me back,
but he was still posting
on his story every day,
and, like,
what am I supposed to think?
And I was drunk and sad and mad,
and TJ was there and...
now I'm gonna end up single
and alone and a murder suspect,
because now I have a motive.
- Hey, hey.
- Hey.
It's only motive
if people know about it,
and they don't.
That secret died
with Simon, okay?
- Because someone killed him.
And now they're trying
to frame us.
- Okay, but do you really think
that Ms. Avery stole
Simon's laptop?
I mean, I don't even think
she would know how to log in.
- I don't know who's doing this,
but whoever's doing it
hated Simon.
- A lot of people hated Simon.
- Yeah, but who also hated us?
- Okay, okay, please listen.
I know I messed up, all right?
But when we first met,
I thought that it'd be
a one-time thing.
So I didn't think that
it was important to tell you
that I wasn't in college
because...
I never thought
that I'd ever see you again.
- Okay, and you don't have to...
- No, no, no,
you're not... no, please.
What if I want to?
What if I want to hear more
about your stupid days
and about Margot?
Cooper, I don't care
that you're 17, all right?
I was just in high school
a year ago.
I care that you lied to me.
You really didn't have to.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
How about we just start over?
- Yeah?
- My name is Chris.
I really am 18.
And I'm a freshman in college.
- Okay, well, hi, Chris.
My name is Cooper.
I'm a senior in high school,
but I do turn 18 in three weeks.
- Oh, three weeks, huh? Okay.
Well, I know what I'ma get you
for your birthday, then.
- You want to start on those
college applications tomorrow?
- Yes, please.
- We can go to the beach house,
do 'em by the pool,
work on our tan...
You know what,
actually, just scratch that.
We can just work on our tans
and do 'em next week.
We have all the time
in the world.
- I-I gotta go. I love you.
- Love you always.
- Don't you just hate
a cliffhanger?
Simon may have left you
high and dry,
but making you wait
for a good reveal?
That's not really my style.
Seems Addy Prentiss is no good
at waiting either.
She didn't last a week
before finding a new boy toy
to play with while Jake was
in Greece this summer.
That's better.
Wasn't the suspense
just killing you?

- Hi.
Can we just skip today?

obviously some kind

No killer is just

Well, do you also remember
that every time I flash it,

stop messing
with your beautiful hair,
and remember
that I'm never gonna let
anything bad happen to you?
- There it is.
That's what I like to see.

You waiting for me?
- Where's the laptop?
- Simon's laptop?
Last I heard,
you did not have it, right?
- Yeah, well, now
I really don't have it.
- Wait, you lost it?
- No, I didn't lose it.
It was stolen from me.
There's a huge difference.
- Oh, and you think I stole it.
- Yeah, well, who else knew
that I did not have it?
- Okay, if I've learned
anything from horror movies,
and I have, it's that usually,
the call is coming
from inside the house.
- What are you trying to say?
- Your parents probably
found the laptop
and gave it back
to Simon's family.
Or, I don't know,
threw it off a cliff,
which is probably
the better idea.
- No, no, 'cause if my parents
had found it,
I would have heard
about it immediately
'cause I would have been
grounded permanently.
- You really trust
your parents, huh?
It's cute.
- Yeah, I trust them
more than a drug dealer
one strike away from jail.
Sorry. I didn't mean it.
- Yeah, you did.
You did.
You're late for class.
What would Yale think?
- Guys, I have an idea.
I think somebody killed Simon
to steal his laptop,
used it to get into About That,
and then posted
that insane confession
to freak everyone out.
And also because psychos love
getting credit for their work.
You guys, this is a true crime
podcast waiting to happen.
- Simon posted people's secrets
all the time.
Nobody ever tried
to poison him about it.
- Yeah, I know, but this was
supposed to be a big reveal.
He was building it up.
He'd never done that before.
It was probably so good.
- Yeah, well,
some of the theories
people are posting
are pretty insane.
- Like what?
- Addy, what did we say?
- Don't read the comments.
- Or have others
read them for you.
- Just that four big posts
got teased,
and then four people were
in detention with Simon.
You think those four posts
were about us?
- Or are you saying
that one of us killed Simon?
- Either way, it's insane.
And just to say it,
if anyone in this entire school
was capable of murder,
it seems kind of obvious.
- What is a secret worth
literally killing for?
- Can we just drop this?
- Okay, relax, Cooper.
What would your big secret be?
Oh, my... Cooper, did you skip
a protein shake?
- Ha. Ha.
Vanessa.
- What, maybe he did,
and he doesn't want us to know.
- You offended him.
- Cooper.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
- Oh.
- Eeyore, come on.
Pooh Bear was joking.
Thanks.
What about you?
What would your
deadly little secret be?
- Sorry to disappoint,
but that post obviously
wasn't gonna be about me.
I didn't even read
About That that morning,
and besides,
how could I have planned
to poison Simon
if I didn't even know
he was gonna be
in detention that day?
- Okay.
Addy, relax.
You're clearly not some
secret mastermind killer.
Babe, relax.
- And none of us thought
that cheating post
was about you and Jake.
Right, Keely?
- Oh, yeah.
No, of course not.
Anyway...
- If you want to spend
some time with a counselor,
that's understandable,
but if you're here in class,
let's try to stay focused, okay?
If you go to page 18...
This year, you'll be learning
nothing short of how the world
around you works.
Physics explains
the fundamental laws
of our universe
from the largest galaxies
to the tiniest planets.
Physics is all around you.
It's physics that explains
how you're all sitting
in your chairs right now
and not floating out into orbit.
And if someone were to pull
one of those chairs out...
Seriously?
- I'm so sorry.
I didn't even know
I had my alarm set.
I have no idea how...
- You know phones
aren't allowed in class.
That's worth detention.
Now, where were we?
- What?
- Right...
- Well, I got detention too,
so guess I'll see you there.
- So acceleration
due to gravity is constant.
On Earth, that number is
9.8 meters per second squared.
If you haven't committed this
to memory...
oh, Principal Gupta.
How can I help you?
- Okay. She's just there.
- Yeah.
Addy, can you come
with me please?
I hate for you to miss class.
I just need you
for a few minutes.
- Sorry, what's happening?
- This is Detective Wheeler.
She just needs
to search your lockers.
- What?
Why?
- Do you even have a warrant?
- Oh, we don't need a warrant.
Lockers are on school property.
Look, I understand
it's invasive,
and I thank you
for your cooperation.
- Was there an option
to not cooperate?
- I don't understand.
What are you looking for?
- Well, any piece of evidence
that might help us understand
what happened to Simon.
- Okay, Bronwyn,
is your locker one of these?
- Yeah, it's that one.
- We'll look at Addy's next.
- What if someone put something
in our lockers?
- What?
- Yeah, like, what if someone
put something in there
to make us look bad?
- Wouldn't be the first time
police find evidence
right where they need it to be.
- Yeah, and Bronwyn said
someone put a phone in her bag,
and that's
how she got detention,
and I got detention
in a weird way, too.
- Addy, if you haven't done
anything wrong,
you've got nothing
to worry about,
so just open the locker, please.
- Thank you.
Somebody plant
this peanut oil in there?
- It's moisturizing.
I use it for my hair
and dry skin and blackheads
and... look, this peanut oil
could not have killed Simon.
Peanut oil has to be
cold pressed for someone
with allergies to react to it,
and that's basically
only the super bougie
gourmet kind, basically.
- How do you know that?
- Saw it on the Food Network.
- Maybe that's something
you should keep to yourself.
- We'll run some tests
against the samples
we found in the library.
I think one of you
took Simon's laptop.
If you did,
we're gonna find out, and soon.
I'm sure you had a perfectly
good reason for taking it,
but you gotta tell me now,
because if we find it
and we find you've been
hiding it and lying about it,
especially after I've given you
a chance to come clean,
I don't have to tell you
how that's gonna sound
to a judge, right?
You got something to say?
- Yes, um...
Why are we even talking
about the laptop
when you just found peanut oil
in Addy's locker?
- It's moisturizing,
and, you know,
some of us actually like
to spend money
on makeup once in a while.
- I'm trying to help
you guys here.
This is serious.
Why do you think I'm sitting
here instead of Officer Miller?
I'm a homicide detective.
This is now
a murder investigation.
- What?
- Murder?
- We found peanut oil
in Simon's cup
and only Simon's cup.
We also found capsule residue.
Someone put peanut oil
into a capsule
and dropped it in the water
in Simon's drink.
That happens in the moment,
in the room.
So your teacher left the room.
You didn't see anybody
come in or out.
Nobody had the opportunity
except for the four of you.
- Hey, where were you?
- Damn car broke down
on me, again.
- Why didn't you call me?
- Didn't want you
to miss practice.
No worries.
Car's in the shop now anyhow.
How was practice?
Hey, what's wrong?
- Robyn is a good friend
and a very good lawyer.
- You think I need a lawyer?
- How am I supposed to pay
for a lawyer?
Bet those other kids
probably have someone
on retainer already.
Maybe Jake's family
knows someone?
Are you two okay?
- Why wouldn't we be?
- So you didn't cheat on him?
I read the comments, too.
Addy.
- Cops talk to you again?
- No.
- Okay.
The mayor's kid.
They're gonna try to pin that
on somebody, fast.
Just be you.
- What?
- What are you gonna say to him
when he asks you about it?
They always ask.
And baby,
you are not a good liar.
- You are a model student
from a great family.
Focus on that.
- I think I'm just a bit
nervous about the showcase.
- Got nothing
to worry about there.
You're ready.
- So go to Simon's wake
tomorrow with your family,
pay your respects to the mayor.
So much comes down to optics,
and we have to present you
as you really are:
the innocent girl
who got caught up
in all of this
by sheer bad luck.
- But what if
it wasn't bad luck?
Addy, this girl who was
in detention with me that day...
- I'm going to stop you
right there.
Stay away from Addy.
- Jake's not gonna find out,
and I am not gonna
end up like you.
We are gonna go
to college together,
and after college, we'll get
married and travel the world.
Jake says I'll love Paris,
and when we're ready
to settle down, we'll come back
and raise our kids here,
and he'll go
into the family business,
and I'll be a mom.
But a good one.
And that's always been our plan,
and I won't let anyone
ruin it for me.
- You have to stay away
from the other three suspects,
actually,
especially the one
with the criminal record.
- Nate.
- What time is it?
7:00.
- Are you good?
Is school okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Everything's good.
- Phew. Mm.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Yeah, I was
just finishing dinner.
Was your day as terrible
as you thought it was gonna be?
Ooh, Coop, you gotta try
these little THC sodas.
Oh, my God, they taste so good,
and they're,
like, really mellow.
They chill you...
- I just wanted
to give you what's yours.
- Okay, yeah, they definitely
look better on you.
- I think they'd look
pretty good off both of us.
- Okay, but I, like,
actually did work.
I washed yours
and I folded them.
- That's great.
- Made 'em look all nice.
- That's really good.
- Okay, wait, hold on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
hold on, hold on.
- What's wrong?
- Can we just take it
slow tonight?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, you sure?
- Sure.
- Okay, well, you were gonna
tell me about your day, right?
How was it?
- My day?
Yeah.
- Not much to tell.
- Okay, well, I'ma tell you
about my day,
'cause it was crazy.
Oh, my God, this woman at work
called me flamboyant, Cooper.
'Cause of my nails, I guess?
I don't know.
Flamboyant really feels
like a microaggression.
So I turned into a drag queen
in that moment, okay?
Yes, I said,
I'ma give you flamboyant.
Every single time
she opened her mouth,
I said, "Yes, queen!
"Ooh, you better work
the house down, period, poo.
Ahh!"
And then I ended up by twerking
in the middle of the shop.
I swear to God,
that's what happened.
That's what happened in my head,
Cooper, because Margot is
my supervisor,
so I can't even be sassy
for real to her face.
Like... was your day
as bad as that?
- My day was...
just a different kind of bad.
- Different.
Okay, who was your Margot?
So many options.
Honestly,
I am about ready to lose it
on my AP English teacher.
I mean, this guy never...
- Why you still taking
AP class in college?
It's a high school class.
- No...
- Cooper, you in high school?
- Yeah, I can explain.
- So you lied
about going to college?
I think you need to get dressed.
- Ooh!
Are you gonna go to the wake?
- No.
- Yeah, I guess that'd be
kind of weird as a suspect,
especially after the peanut oil.
- What? Ah!
- Girl, I'm sorry,
but that... hey!
Jake told me.
He was worried about you.
- It prevents acne.
You've asked me
to use it before.
- I don't know, girl.
You had an actual murder weapon
in your locker,
and you were
in detention that day.
- So was Cooper.
What if that post was
about him and Keely?
- Ask her.
I mean, she clearly thinks
it's about you.
Did you see that little stunt
she pulled yesterday?
And did you see Jake's face?
- Not that it even had to be
about someone in detention.
And I feel bad saying this,
but I've always thought
they were a weird couple.
- Totally, right?
So private. No PDA.
Completely the opposite
of how she was with Zach.
- And I saw Keely talking
to Simon at Jake's party.
- Wait, what party?
What was I wearing?
- The lime green swimsuit.
- Mm, so cute.
- Mm-hmm. She looked upset.
- Like, upset like
"Simon found out
she cheated on Cooper" upset?
- Probably.
- Girl, I have to find out.
I'll text Olivia.
She's on student council
with her.
She'll know.
Or Ali. I'll text Ali.
I'm gonna text them both.
I'll text them both.
Ooh-hoo-hoo.
- Was that Mayor Kelleher?
- Simon's mom? Yeah.
She had to come to school today
to clean out his locker,
and she asked me to help.
- Mm.
- Yeah.
Guess she thought
we were still great friends,
even though we haven't talked
since middle school.
And now she wants me
to come to the wake,
so I can take something
to remember him by.
So now we gotta go
to that thing.
- Should we meet after?
Just sounds really personal.
I don't wanna intrude.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I can go by myself.
It's fine.
It's fine.
- No, I'm sorry.
I am overthinking it.
I will go with you
if you really want me to.
- Thanks, babe.
- Yeah.
- And I don't know, maybe we'll
find his diary or something.
You know, he kept one
when we were kids.
Except now it'd have
everyone's secrets in it.
Maybe that'd be
worth going, right?
- Yeah.
- Guess we should get going.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Yesterday, when the cops
were searching us,
you said you got detention
in a weird way, too?
- Yeah.
An alarm went off on my phone
that I know I didn't set.
And I remember what you said
about the phone in your bag,
and I realized anybody
could have set the alarm
to get me in trouble, too.
You don't even need
the password.
- Wait, do you know how
Cooper and Nate got detention?
Hey.
Did you get detention
for a weird reason?
Addy and I did,
and it's almost like
someone wanted us to be there.
- I got detention
like I always do,
being late for class.
- I was late for physics.
I was coming out of gym,
and I couldn't find my phone.
Ended up being two minutes late.
- Where was it?
- Under some lockers.
I guess it must have fallen
out of my bag or something.
- That's weird, isn't it?
- There's nothing
weird about that.
Just another day
in the office for me.
- You're not that bad.
You saved me
from myself yesterday.
You may even be a good guy,
deep inside.
Very deep inside,
even when you're always late.
- Okay, for the record,
I did make an effort
to be on time for the first day.
Just wasn't meant to be,
I guess.
- What do you mean?
- My locker was jammed.
I had to get the janitor.
Dude had to pry it open
with a crowbar.
- On the first day of school?
- Yeah, Ms. Scarecrow
didn't think it was weird.
Gave me detention anyway.
- I think someone set us up.
- Who would do that?
- Maybe the same person
who took the laptop from me?
I mean, someone is clearly
pulling the strings,
and they wanted us
in the room that day.
- Okay, but why?
- I have no idea, but don't you
think we should find out?
- Oh, Bayview,
you are predictable.
- Simon's dead.
A killer is on the loose.
But don't let that distract
you from your selfies.
- I mean, so what
if the police found peanut oil
in Addy Prentiss' locker?
And I thought
I was being obvious.
- Oh, that poor woman.
To lose a son that young.
- Oh, my God,
that's totally her.
- You okay?
- It's peanut oil,
not a homemade grenade.
Vanessa said she didn't
say anything, but...
- Hey, babe, I've been wanting
to ask you something.
Look, I hear gossip, too,
and this is gonna be weird,
but it's bugging me,
so just be honest, okay?
- Mm.
- Do you really think
that post was about...
Keely and Cooper?
Vanessa told me you said
something about it,
so do you think she cheated?
- I don't know.
It seems possible.
- I should tell Cooper, right?
- Jake.
- Hi.
- Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
- My girlfriend.
- Hi, I'm Adelaide...
- Yes, I know.
Would you like
to go to Simon's room?
You can take anything you want.
- Excuse me, Mayor Kelleher...
- Thank you.
Simon would be glad you're here.
Come with me.
- What... don't leave me.
- No, I'll be right back.
- Please don't go.
- It's moisturizing.
- What are you doing here?
- I was...
- What the fuck
are you doing here?
- Relax. I'm here on business.
Pretty sure
I'm not the only one.
- Who are all these old people?
- Campaign donors.
- I see food.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- Find anything?
- I did.
You won't believe it.
Jackpot.
Yeah.
Yeah, video games used to be
our thing when we were kids,
so I thought it was appropriate.
And now I can have an Xbox
at my mom's
and my dad's, so that's cool.
You okay?
- Yeah.
No, I'm just... I'm good.
You should probably put that
in the car.
People don't get the wrong idea.
Right. Dick move.
Thanks, babe.
- Happy to discuss with you,
ma'am.
- Doubtless would not be
the best time, but...
- I can assure you, Detective,
that I had
no intention whatsoever
to discuss the case
with you today,
but I and everybody else
in this town
have seen what just happened
this morning.
They're posting
on his app again, today.
They're taunting you.
- The VPN scrambles
the location.
- There has to be
something else you can do.
- Whoever took that computer
knows what they're doing.
- Well, I'm glad someone does.
What about the peanut oil
in that girl's locker?
- I just got the results back
from the lab.
It's not a match,
but that doesn't mean
she wasn't involved.
And one of them did it.
Actually we're working
on a theory
that all of them did this
together,
which might explain
why, apparently,
none of them saw anything.
- Well, whoever it was,
I want them found
and arrested soon,
or my office will find someone
else to do your job, again.
- Well, I mean... I mean...
- I could check into that.
- Can I bring you anything?
- Excuse us, everyone.
Thank you so much
for being here with us today
to honor our dear Simon.
I know it would've meant
the world to him
to have you all here.
Oh my God, come on.
- Simon was the biggest light
in our world.
His joy,
his love of his friends.
The Russian Nobel prize winner
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
once wrote...
- Get Cooper. Meet me upstairs.
- "Some are bound to die young.
"By dying young, a person stays
young in people's memory.
"If he burns brightly
before he dies,
his brightness shines
for all time."
- Come with me, asshole.
- There was a lightness in Simon
that he didn't even know he had.
That's the hardest part
for our ordeal.
Yes, they took everything
from him,
everything he was,
but most importantly,
they took away everything
he would come to be one day.
There is no bigger crime.
And our hope is that it will
be punished accordingly.
- Fancy seeing you here.
- Oh!
- Hey.
- Hi.
- You know, I've been to three
funerals already this year.
This, by far, best food.
That's a lot funerals.
- Have a lot of cancer friends.
Kind of popular
at the hospital, you know?
You want a crouton?
- He would hate this, right?
I mean,
they're making this into, like,
his mom's political fundraiser.
Everybody's here
pretending to care.
They all just want to be seen.
- Yeah, well, in my experience,
these things always end up
being about the people
in the room,
not the person that died.
Makes sense.
The living are the ones
that need comfort.
Simon is just having a blast
in hell right now.
- Hey.
But it's best
if you focus on the food.
- I wish he was here, like,
making fun of everyone,
pissing off
his fake-ass parents.
Nobody here knew
who he really was,
and...
everybody here hated him.
- Not everybody.
- We shouldn't be
in here together.
- When you said a scarecrow
gave you a detention,
were you talking
about Ms. Avery?
- You just saw her
all dressed in black
and you're really asking?
- I'll take that as a yes.
Who gave you detention?
- Same. Why?
- She gave us all detention.
- So?
It's basically
her signature move.
- And we were all set up.
- By Ms. Avery?
- It just doesn't seem
like a coincidence.
And then there's
the new About That posts.
Somebody's messing with us.
- Yeah, but that person knew
about what happened
with my locker.
You were the only ones
that were there.
- Are you sure you didn't
tell Vanessa?
I mean, the two of you seem to
be gossiping a lot these days.
- Vanessa and Jake
wouldn't tell.
I know them.
I don't know you.
- Oh, well,
let me introduce myself.
I'm not the one who had
peanut oil in their locker
or my signature
in the nurse's log...
- It's not cold pressed.
I already told the cop...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up
for a second, all right?
Why would someone single out
the four of us for anything?
- The About That posts.
The ones Simon was teasing?
What if someone thought
they were about us?
- But they weren't.
- I think it's safe
to assume one was about me.
- Yeah, naturally.
- Weren't you calling me
a nice guy,
like, five minutes ago?
- Mm-hmm, before you were
selling drugs at a wake.
- And you've never done
a criminal thing in your life?
So you guys have no secrets?
- No.
- No.
- No.
And even if Simon thought
he had something on one of us,
that doesn't mean
he got it right.
- Is that why you told Vanessa
that the cheating one
was about Keely?
- Can we go back to the setup?
I think we should go
to the police.
- Yeah, of course
you trust the cops.
- Excuse me?
- You know
what they'll tell you?
That one of us could have
framed the other three
and then pretend
like she was framed too.
I mean, you could literally
be pushing this entire theory
so we don't suspect you.
- Oh, so you're accusing me now?
- Without Simon,
you get to be valedictorian.
- You seem to have given this
a lot of thought, man.
- Maybe you haven't
given it enough thought, man.
- Oh, whatever you say,
detective jock.
- Fuck you.
- The police think
we did it together.
- What?
- Yeah, so this can't happen.
- I'm out of here.
- Hey, Evan.
Are you okay?
- I just lied for you.
Yeah, I told your dad
you went to the bathroom,
but I saw you with Nate
looking like a couple
of coconspirators.
I thought your lawyer had said
to never be seen with him, ever.
- You must really want me
to follow
my lawyer's advice, huh?
- All right.
Okay, look, I get it.
The motorcycle,
the incredible hair, the very...
brooding energy.
That's just not me.
He's cool,
and I play backgammon online.
- But prisons are full
of very cool people,
and I don't want that guy
to bring you down with him.
You're better than that.
You deserve the best.
In the meantime,
I hope that I'll do.
- You're so right.
You are nothing like him,
and that's one
of the best things about you.
- ♪ We'll be a fine line ♪
- Well, this is
very inappropriate, sir.
- Then why do I want
to do it again?
- ♪ We'll be a fine line ♪
♪ We'll be a fine line ♪
- We have a deal,
and it has rules.
We wouldn't see anyone else
because that might
tip people off.
And even if I wanted to,
I would never lie about it.
- No, I know.
But even if you did, right,
it wouldn't really be cheating.
- No, it would be.
I wouldn't do that to you
because I know
you wouldn't do that to me.
- I can't wait to go back
to Greece.
But with you.
With you this time.
- Better be.
- Did you have any fun
without me?
- No.
- Teej!
- Ooh, hey.
- No, it was a total nightmare.
The fuck is that asshole
doing here?
- Oh, don't worry, babe.
I'm sure he'll leave soon.
Nobody'll talk to him anyway.
- Well, whatever you say.
It's your house too.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay, get a room.
- Okay, okay.
- But not your room,
because TJ and I just used it,
and you're gonna wanna change
your sheets first.
- You're fucking with me.
Shut up.
- Mm-mm.
- You and TJ?
- Oh, don't you dare
look at me like that.
It's love, okay?
It is deep.
Deep love, all right?
- Love, yeah.
- Okay, speaking of fucking,
we need you for beer pong
'cause we're gonna fuck you up.
- Yes, yes you do.
- Let's go.
- Come join. Come join.
Let's go.
- Shit.
- I've been looking for you.
You know, you really shouldn't
mix Xanax and liquor.
Trust me.
- It's water.
Nothing to see
or post about here.
- Yeah, you're right.
Your Xanax habit isn't
half as interesting
as what happened
between you and TJ.
- What?
- But I don't know.
I probably won't post it.
Do I want to know what
your asshole of a boyfriend
would do if he found out?
I mean, I can't even blame you
for cheating on him.
You know what?
Nobody has to find out.
I guess we're both full
of surprises, huh?
- You're full of shit.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You ready to go?
- Yeah, yeah.
- What are you doing?
- Hair police?
I turn myself in...
- No, what's going on?
- What?
- You've been acting so weird.
- Can you blame me?
I mean, after the last post...
- You were off before then,
Ads, for a while.
I talked to Coop.
Coop said that there's
no way that Keely cheated.
Did you make that up?
Why would you do that?
Listen, the one thing
that I wouldn't be able to take
is you lying to me.
So just tell me the truth, okay?
Is there anything
that I should know?
Was that post about you?
About us?
- No, no.
No.
But I started the rumor
because I didn't want you
to think it was.
- Jake, I was so scared
of losing you.
I don't know
what I'd do without you.
Probably go bald from pulling
my hair out too much.
That's all I needed to hear.
Come here.
Let's get out of here.
- Please.
Yeah.
- You're late.
You're the one
that told us to come here.
- How did you even know
about this place?
- My mom worked
at the concessions stand.
She'd leave that back door open,
and I would sneak in
and watch the old classics.
Yeah, those were the days.
- Charming.
Why are we here?
- Because Addy's right.
No one can see us meet.
Because the police think
we did it together.
That's what you said.
- Yeah.
Heard the cops talking
to Simon's mom...
in the kitchen.
- If there's one thing we know
isn't true,
it's that we worked together.
- Now that we can
actually agree on.
- Okay, okay, but what if
we need to work together now?
What if it's the only way
to get out of this?
- And why should we trust you?
- Okay, you're right.
I haven't been honest
with you guys.
One of Simon's posts was
gonna be about me, I think.
- What did you do?
- Okay, I'm not ready
to be that honest yet.
- Okay, well, then you have
a motive, but I don't.
None of those clues were
gonna be about me,
no matter what some people say.
- I said I was sorry.
I was worried
Jake would suspect me
and ask, and I just wanted to...
- There's something?
- No.
- What were you
so nervous of, then?
- Her shitty boyfriend
getting ideas.
- Nate Macauley calling
my friend shitty?
- Right, sorry, man,
it's not like football players
have a tendency
for violence or anything.
- Hey, leave him out of this.
- I'm trying to help you here.
- Well, don't. Okay?
I cheated on him.
I cheated on him, okay?
And he asked me, and I lied.
I thought we were over.
I thought he didn't
love me anymore.
He'd gone on that
People to People Trip
in Greece.
He was gone all summer,
and he wasn't texting me back,
but he was still posting
on his story every day,
and, like,
what am I supposed to think?
And I was drunk and sad and mad,
and TJ was there and...
now I'm gonna end up single
and alone and a murder suspect,
because now I have a motive.
- Hey, hey.
- Hey.
It's only motive
if people know about it,
and they don't.
That secret died
with Simon, okay?
- Because someone killed him.
And now they're trying
to frame us.
- Okay, but do you really think
that Ms. Avery stole
Simon's laptop?
I mean, I don't even think
she would know how to log in.
- I don't know who's doing this,
but whoever's doing it
hated Simon.
- A lot of people hated Simon.
- Yeah, but who also hated us?
- Okay, okay, please listen.
I know I messed up, all right?
But when we first met,
I thought that it'd be
a one-time thing.
So I didn't think that
it was important to tell you
that I wasn't in college
because...
I never thought
that I'd ever see you again.
- Okay, and you don't have to...
- No, no, no,
you're not... no, please.
What if I want to?
What if I want to hear more
about your stupid days
and about Margot?
Cooper, I don't care
that you're 17, all right?
I was just in high school
a year ago.
I care that you lied to me.
You really didn't have to.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
How about we just start over?
- Yeah?
- My name is Chris.
I really am 18.
And I'm a freshman in college.
- Okay, well, hi, Chris.
My name is Cooper.
I'm a senior in high school,
but I do turn 18 in three weeks.
- Oh, three weeks, huh? Okay.
Well, I know what I'ma get you
for your birthday, then.
- You want to start on those
college applications tomorrow?
- Yes, please.
- We can go to the beach house,
do 'em by the pool,
work on our tan...
You know what,
actually, just scratch that.
We can just work on our tans
and do 'em next week.
We have all the time
in the world.
- I-I gotta go. I love you.
- Love you always.
- Don't you just hate
a cliffhanger?
Simon may have left you
high and dry,
but making you wait
for a good reveal?
That's not really my style.
Seems Addy Prentiss is no good
at waiting either.
She didn't last a week
before finding a new boy toy
to play with while Jake was
in Greece this summer.
That's better.
Wasn't the suspense
just killing you?
