- What was he doing? - Let's go.

Come on in, Jayne, sit down.

Chadwick, you sick pup.

We have confidential information on half of the school.

Transfer the files to The Crotch drive.

And I'm not into Ilo anymore. We need to change direction.

I never even heard of Grace Ho, and now she's everywhere.

- Where'd they find her? - I think they made her in a lab.

Whole deal offers someone like you

a lot of ways to make some cash.

Cost you some cheap vodka upfront...

As long as she keeps her end up, I'll make it happen.

- Yeah, of course, I'm in. - [both] Grace Ho!

- [crowd cheering] - What now?

You keep your end of the bargain,

and let's plan a weekly meet.

Sound good?

I've been there. That's how it starts with her.

Good luck.

[Farrah] My mom says I'm lucky to be in high school

because I don't have to deal with any real-world problems.

It's so condescending.

Real world, high school-- it's all the same.

Everyone is just doing whatever they can

to appear like they're cool and have it all together.

Truth is, we're all wound tight as a coil.

Some just hide it better.

There's an actual medical term for it.

It's called Duck Syndrome.

Basically it says that when you see a duck

swimming across a pond,

it seems to be gliding effortlessly,

but if you take a look under the water...

- Hey. - Hey.

...the duck is frantically paddling just to stay afloat.

[sniffs]

[girls chattering angrily]

Oh, hi, Tripp. What are you doing?

Changing for gym.

Is this a football hazing thing?

No, no, today, I identify as a woman.

♪ In a manner of speaking ♪

♪ I don't think we'll be speaking at all ♪

♪ One, two! ♪

♪ There ain't nobody gonna mess with me and my crew ♪

♪ Walk in my shoes, look what we do ♪

How much did he win?

20 bucks from jag-off Ilo.

It's so gross that Tripp would use the trans struggle

to win a stupid bet.

20 bucks, that's not a lot for what he did.

- [laughter] - Two heart.

Hey, when you were hooking up with Tripp last year,

- were there any signs? - That he was trans? No.

Trust me, there was no gender fluid between us.

- 'Cause you swallowed it all. - Can we please?

I'm just saying there is zero percent chance

that he's legit trans.

Farrah, you don't actually think he's trans, do you?

I don't believe anything yet.

Are you serious?

I just think in situations like these,

it's best to judge slowly

and then judge even slower than that.

It was a bet. I saw him get paid.

I'm not saying it wasn't.

I'm just saying that I'm open to the possibility

that there's more to it than that.

Which means she needs to know.

Okay, say Tripp is actually trans

and he's struggling with it.

That'd be sad, Farrah, defs.

That's not what's happening here.

You do realize that your search for the truth

is actually an OCD.

You should consider therapy.

It's not, and I'm pretty sure

that's offensive to people with OCD.

[phone chimes]

I'll be right back.

[drumline music plays]

Who shit in your sandwich?

- Your little Grace Ho puppet did. - My puppet?

She's not keeping her end of our election deal.

Some Student Council moral-high-ground bullshit.

Oh, man, we hate the moral-high-ground bullshit.

- We need someone who doesn't mind-- - Playing dirty? Yeah.

Don't worry about her. I'll talk to her, okay?

First game is after school Friday.

I need to be in that snack bar selling.

Mm-hmm, I got it. Fast.

I'm getting a vibe off this Grace.

I really don't think pulling her strings

is gonna be as easy as you think.

Wow, really going all the way

with that puppet metaphor, huh?

[laughs] Hey, I'll get it done.

- Okay? Don't worry about it. - Thanks.

There she is.

Let's not pretend this isn't weird.

- Hi, Dad. - How you doing?

Good, you know, besides your boxes

being in the garage and having to deliver your mail to you.

I'm gonna take care of it.

You can't keep staying in Air BnBs, so here.

What's this?

It's listings for local condos.

I know that signing a lease may make all this

seem more permanent, but--

Honey, I already found a place. I got a two-bedroom downtown.

Right in the middle of the gallery district.

Oh. The gallery district.

Yeah, I figured why not cut out the commute?

I've always wanted live in the center of the action.

Well, aren't you fancy?

Look, I, um-- I never wanted any of this.

[scoffs] Well, you kind of asked for it.

You know, with the roaming penis of it all.

Before I left, you agreed not to take sides,

and that sounds just a little like your mom.

I'm not choosing her side.

Just don't pretend that me having to walk your mail

out to the driveway just happened to you.

I know that.

And if I could've spun it differently, I would have.

But this is where we are now.

And I can't start over where every yenta in town

is talking about my divorce, you know?

- There's nothing for me here. - Nothing at all?

I told you, it's over with her.

I wasn't talking about your side dish, Dad.

Of course. I-I meant besides you.

[sighs]

That's why I got the two-bedroom place.

So you can hang out whenever you want.

And we can do city stuff together, you know?

Yeah.

Someday, I'm gonna find that asshole

who sent that tape to your mom.

[car starts]

[girl on tape] I don't know.

My sister stopped taking her Ritalin

and it actually helped her grades.

[conversation continues in background]

[door opens]

I'm not making belly pancakes.

Well, you've been watching upskirt videos all day.

I can only assume you've been dropping puddles left and right.

I'm not watching.

I'm listening, okay? And besides, you're the one

who told me to check through these tapes for any Tripp stuff.

I know, I was just kidding.

So far, not one word on any of these files

about Tripp being trans anything.

- Hmm. - I think it's time to accept that Tripp

is just an insensitive moron who made a bet.

Sometimes the answer is the one right in front of you.

People aren't always lying.

Apparently Grace Ho did.

She's not keeping her end of the deal with Hook.

So that's on me to fix.

Well, you did make that bed.

Okay, well, go back to listening,

and hit me up if you find anything.

Okay.

There's no reason for him to come back-- he already won the bet.

And even if he did it just to be a perv,

it's not like any of us are changing in front of him.

I don't even think Tripp wants to see us change.

Hey, did you get anything on Grace yet?

Well, obviously, she has more style, thanks to us.

Although, With-a-Y thinks those man-boots she wore yesterday

were a big step backwards.

They're a little too white supremacist for my liking.

Okay, first of all, the boots are dope.

Second, you didn't tell me that she has 713 followers

or that she updates three times a day now.

That's not all that much.

She had six when we found her.

You're shocked she's more popular?

We made her that way.

When's the last time she updated her latch-hooking Tumblr?

Two weeks ago.

Looks like she's dropping

her old hobby for a new hobby.

- What's her new hobby? - Herself.

Hey, what's up?

Hey. So we're doing this again?

Yeah. We're doing this again.

Okay. Let's do this.

Are you serious?

Yeah, why not? I mean, it's just us girls, right?

Okay, I'm-- I'm gonna go to the stall.

[western showdown music plays]

Your move, girlfriend.

The headline's a little offensive, don't you think?

Don't you think you're being a little snowflakey?

It's un-PC.

And you could have used a better photo of me.

- There it is. - Okay, it's more about the headline.

- So did the move work? - What move?

Come on, you changed in front of Tripp.

You were testing him. Did the test yield any results?

Oh, yield any results? Like what exactly?

Like any... signs of excitement.

Oh, is somebody jealous?

No, I'm trying to gauge how ladylike

Tripp was in that moment.

Trans and gay are not the same thing,

and not all guys get a rager at the sight

of a Victoria's Secret label or, say, a girl in the shower.

At our age we do, okay? It's a hormonal thing.

Why, was it not that way between you and Will?

Oh. Ta-ta.

[drumline music plays]

Hey.

I meant to tell you the other day that I love your boots.

Thanks, they're vintage...

- Redwings. - Redwings, I know. So cool.

So I talked to Hook.

I thought you might. Um...

Look, he wants to use the Student Council snack bar

at the football games and... you know, him.

So let him volunteer.

Have him sign up on the list, and keep it there

to prove that he signed up himself.

I mean, you don't know what he's gonna do once he's inside.

I've been a watcher since I got here.

I know what goes on. So I have a pretty good idea

that Hook may do something illegal.

Exactly. You have an idea of what he may do,

but you don't know what he's going to do,

just like with any other volunteer.

- Plausible deniability. - I'm not a very good liar.

[laughs] We all are. It comes with the age.

I mean, it's how we get through the day.

I mean, I'm not comfortable with it.

Look, Grace,

I respect whatever code of ethics

you think you have, but the truth is,

without Hook's help, you would still be a watcher at this school.

I mean, no offense.

You may look the part,

but don't forget how you got here.

[all chattering]

This is ridiculous.

Okay, that's enough, everyone. Settle down.

Look, if this is a joke, it's been played out.

If it's a bet, you won.

If this is something where there's going to be

six of you tomorrow and then 20 of you the next day...

You're trampling on our rights.

[scoffs] As transgender?

Which clearly you are not.
