[instrumental music]
[John] Ms. Jacobs, Principal Burke, this is Detective Rush.
I know you're busy here, so from one overworked
civil servant to another. I want to thank you for the time.
What's up?
Uh, Ms. Jacobs is faculty advisor
'to the prom committee at McKinley this year.'
Citywide budget cuts are forcing us to get creative with a theme.
I was sorting through some decorations stored
in the basement hoping to recycle some.
Found a disposable camera in a box from the '89 prom.
We had it developed.
Thought it'd be fun to see what the styles
looked like back then.
- Surprised the photos came out. - Us, too.
[Ms. Jacobs] 'And then we noticed that she was in almost every shot.'
- So, who was she? - Felicia Grant.
Killed by a hit-and-run the same night
she was crowned prom queen. Never found who did it.
I pulled the accident investigation division file.
The original detective figured she was hit
by a drunk driver a few miles from the school.
Prom queen didn't have a ride?
Well, according to the file, her boyfriend was
"too drunk to drive home."
Cole Austen.
- That, I can attest to. - So you were there?
I was assistant principal back then, chaperoned prom.
[Steve] 'We were all shocked.'
Felicia handed Cole off to friends at 11:30.
Said she'd catch a ride.
- An hour later she was dead. - No one saw her leave?
[Steve] 'I would have been there, but a student'
fell off the bandstand.
Spent most of the night in the ER.
- Is this the last photo? - 'Outside the gym.'
[Steve] 'Everyone always thought that Felicia ended up'
walking home from the school.
- But look at the clock. - 'Hmm, it says 12:15.'
Motorist spotted her body on the side of the road
about three miles from the school, called it in at 12:30.
There's no way she could have walked
three miles in 15 minutes.
Someone had to give her a ride.
Whoever took this picture was the last to see her alive.
Hmm.
Or her killer.
[theme music]
[Lilly] Felicia Grant, 17
hit by a car on Old York Road
walking home from the prom in '89.
Yeah. Broken neck, hip, and pelvis.
Multiple skull fractures and internal bleeding.
Whoever hit her must have been hauling.
[John] 'I've seen a car going 30 do some real damage.'
It's all about where you get hit, not how.
AID tagged it as a hit-and-run by a drunk driver.
[Will] 'Kids from the prom alibi'd out.'
Most went to an after-party together.
The last photo suggests someone she knew picked her up.
- 'Talk to the parents?' - Father passed away.
Mother remarried, moved to Miami. Trying to find her.
I don't remember dressing this badly in high school.
You mean, compared to now?
Well, how'd you guys do it back in the day, Will?
What, did Moses just hold a candle
'while you guys danced?'
[laughing]
[Will] 'Had our prom at the Bellevue Hotel.'
Took a lovely, young betty named Pennie Joe McVicker.
So fine, make a blind man see.
You ever wonder what happened to her?
Married, five kids, twice my size.
- Oh. - What about you, boss?
I quit school before the prom. Went in the Navy.
- 'What about you, Lil?' - Never went. Not my thing.
[Nick] 'Well, I wasprom king.'
But I lost my crown when I, uh..
Well, when I got caught streaking.
- You streaked at your prom? - Yeah.
Mrs. Kaye saw my junk and fainted.
[Lilly] 'Well, AID found silver'
paint chips on the dress.
Assigned checked all the body shops
within a 20-mile radius. Nothing ever surfaced.
Well, whoever did it might have waited a few years
till the heat cooled and then fixed their ride.
Reinterview Felicia's inner circle.
Find out who took that last photo.
Updating your Facebook page?
Uh, just an old narcotics case.
Gonna talk to Suzie Hill
the prom queen's best friend.
- 'Want to come?' - 'Sure.'
Suzie looks fun.
Uh, my oldest, Tess, is at cheerleading practice.
I'm going to need to grab her soon.
[kids screaming]
Hey, how many times do I have to tell you
no running in the house?
Anything stand out to you about this photo, Suzie?
Sorry. Seeing Felicia brings back a lot of memories.
I don't know why she was still there.
The school had a strict midnight curfew.
Didn't you wonder where she went after prom?
Thought Felicia caught a ride, we'd hook up later at the party.
Best friends and you don't even check up on each other?
We were both sort of caught up in our dates that night.
If I knew she needed me, I would have been there.
So, when was the last time you saw her?
When she won prom queen.
I was so happy for her.
When we were little girls, we used to dress up
act like we were queens and, now, she was one.
- All sugar, no spice? - 'She could throw down.'
Felicia wanted something, she went for it. She always got it.
Probably made a few enemies, too?
She was popular. People's feelings get hurt.
We were all so young and thoughtless back then.
[Simple Minds singing "Don't You Forget About Me"]
♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey.. ♪
- Hey, girl. - Oh, you know Lee.
Love that dress on you.
[giggles]
I'm going to go grab a drink.
Coolio. I'm good.
I can't believe you brought that weirdo, Lee Mavoides.
Easy for you to say. You weren't dumped two minutes before prom.
Miss Has-Her-Whole-Life Planned-Out.
Whatever.
'I got to know him in art class.'
He's not that bad.
Has that whole Christian Slater thing going on.
- I got your letter. - What'd you say?
[shouting] I got your letter.
And I like you, too.
[all laughing]
- He fell for it! - 'What a loser.'
Why don't you go home and hump your pillow, nerd.
[laughing]
You just wanted to screw with me.
[male #1] 'What a loser!'
I haven't thought of Corky in years.
Everyone always picked on him
but I think that night was it for him.
- How so? - We never saw him again.
He was so mad at Felicia, thought she made a fool of him.
Where were you after the prom?
Uh, Lee took me up to Fairmount Park
before we hit the party, and..
...I was right. He was sexy.
My daughter thinks I'm such a prude
if she only knew.
Hi. Can I help you?
We're looking for a Corky Mazer.
Last guy that called me that had to pick
his teeth off the floor.
I'm not that guy anymore.
Whoa. Easy there, Whitey Chan.
We're here to talk about Felicia Grant.
Felicia Grant? That's ancient history. Barely knew her.
Heard she made you look like a fool on prom night.
Yeah, that was the worst night of my life.
I'm glad I got far away from that hellhole.
Sounds more like you were driven away.
I decided I wasn't going to be a victim anymore.
[Nick] 'So maybe you decided to pour'
yourself a nice, hot cup of revenge?
No. I joined the army the next morning.
Saw the world. It gave me meaning, purpose.
It gave me...karate.
Or a way to escape a murder charge.
Murder? I-I thought some drunk hit her.
You were the president of the AV department.
Took a lot of photos that night.
[Corky] 'I didn't take that one.'
And whoever did, didn't know what they were doing.
What kind of car did you, uh, drive to the prom, Evan?
I didn't drive, okay?
My mom dropped me off and picked me up.
Wow! You had it hard in high school.
Kids kicked your ass.
- Felicia humiliated you. - I had lots of problems, okay?
You know, but I realized that night
that I wasn't the only one.
[Aerosmith's singing "Angel"]
[Cole] 'Ah, come on, baby.'
'Oh, you're so hot.'
This doesn't feel right.
Really?
'Cause the seats are real vinyl.
Maybe you're just sitting on the belt buckle or something.
No, no, I mean us, this. Going all the way.
- I want it to be special. - Babe, it is special.
You're with me, the Colster.
I want to go find Corky and apologize.
Corky?
[Cole] 'What are you talking about?'
I waited two years for this.
Look, I even made us a mix tape.
I want to go inside.
Right now.
You can't just leave me like this.
Come on. At least check the mic.
Get off!
♪ I want your love ♪
♪ Let's break the walls between us ♪
Come on, Felicia!
♪ I'll put away my pride ♪
I mean, there wasn't a more entitled guy on the planet.
How come you guys aren't talking to him?
Cole's alibi checked out back in the day.
- So did his car. - Which one?
His dad owned one of the biggest car dealerships in Philly.
Cole drove a new car every month.
Hey, Dad.
I went to the store.
I figured you could use a..
Hey, sis.
You've got to be kidding me.
- Lilly. - No.
- No! - 'Lilly!'
Lilly, wait!
[door slams]
Cole Austen?
One and only.
[Nick] 'Far cry from your dad's'
big car dealership, huh?
This gig's just temporary.
Waiting on a call from McKinley High
for an assistant football coaching position.
Sounds promising.
Kind of a legend there.
Just waiting to get the money right.
You were the '89 prom king at McKinley.
Damn straight.
[vocalizing]
It was the greatest night of my life, man.
Till that, uh..
...till the morning.
- Felicia Grant? - 'Yeah.'
That was my girl.
If she was your girl, why'd you leave her alone
at the end of the night, Cole?
I drank a little too much clear
and I spent the rest of the night praying
to the porcelain gods.
- Last time you saw Felicia? - I don't remember.
Everything after we won prom king and queen is just a blur.
That's pretty convenient.
[Nick] 'Felicia was hit and killed'
by a silver car. Kind of like your Mustang.
Ooh. I'd never hurt Felicia.
I loved her.
We were going to go to Penn State together.
We heard you were macking some serious moves
on the queen out in the parking lot
but, uh, she just wasn't feeling the king.
Look, Felicia, she was just nervous, man.
All she needed was a little reassuring.
♪ I just happen to be walking.. ♪
Felicia!
Are you really looking for Corky?
- What you did was mean. - Look, forget him.
Look, I think I know what's really bugging you.
- You do? - Yeah.
You're just worried we're gonna get to State
I'm gonna be smothered in hotness
and end up hitting it with a bunch of hot chicks.
- Uh, no, Cole, that's not-- - Not gonna happen.
Look, I could have played ball anywhere
but I chose to be with you.
You ever wonder if you're..
...a good person?
What do you mean?
I've been thinking about this stuff a lot lately.
After high school..
...who knows what lies ahead of us?
I do.
More awesomeness.
The '80s ruled, but the '90s are gonna rock.
You and me, we're going to be king and queen of Happy Valley.
Felicia? Someone said you were crying in the parking lot.
- 'Everything okay?' - Everything's cool.
Roll, we'll get up with you guys in a bit.
We want to hear it from Felicia.
You can shut your pie hole, you freaky dink.
Everything's fine.
Just go.
What is it with you and that guy?
I don't know. He creeps me out.
Do you want me to kick his ass?
[man over PA] 'Prom Court, please report to the stage.'
Come on, babe.
It's showtime.
Maybe...if I hadn't had drank so much that night..
...Felicia'd still be alive today.
- Who was this Lee guy? - Lee Mavoides.
[laughs]
He's some punk-ass freak.
He have some kind of history with Felicia?
In his wet dreams.
He was obsessed.
He was always staring at her.
That's why Felicia was skeeved out by him.
What happened to your old Mustang, Cole?
I still got her.
Cops checked her out back in the day.
Yeah, well, I'd like to get a second opinion.
[alarm buzzing]
Take me back to my cell.
I'm not sitting with this chota.
Sit down and shut the hell up.
Why don't you take your blue Nazi ass back to Philly?
I ain't got nothing to say to you.
I got this. Why don't you go grab some coffee?
Yeah? You real tough with that tin.
I don't need no badge to deal with a little man like you.
[laughing]
Nice seeing you, man.
Que pasa, Hector?
Tu sabes.
Viviendo como un rey.
- So, I hear. - Yeah, you got big ears.
[chuckles]
Yeah, so do these guards.
It's not their ears I'm worried about.
You know, bad for biz if anyone finds out
I grew up in Francesville with a cop.
Yeah, how's Tati?
Thanks to you, she's good.
Just gave us another niece.
But that ain't why you're here.
Look, there's a new fish on your block.
He likes to sing.
You're his favorite song.
Hmm. And what you care so much about me for?
I wouldn't want to see your nieces
growing up without their tio.
Sounds to me like you want someone to catch a cold.
It's going around.
But, I mean, how you handle the jabber...that's your business.
My business, that is what I'm worried about.
- And this coming back on me. - I get that.
Alright. Suppose..
Suppose this-this fish, hmm
gets made out to be a snitch in the yard?
Then...he's everybody's problem.
Game over.
Kiss of the bitch.
You know what I'm saying, papi?
Starting to think you weren't going to show.
[Lilly sighs]
You want to order something? I'm buying.
I already ate.
Check this out.
Do you remember that suit?
I was always so psyched when you got a new one
'cause that meant I got yours.
That day was so much fun.
The last time I saw you there was a warrant
out for your arrest.
Am I sitting across from a wanted fugitive?
I cut a deal with the DA in New York.
- Managed to avoid jail time. - It's still a felony, right?
I know that you promised dad
that you were gonna hear me out.
I want to thank you.
I-I don't have a lot of time, so..
- Get to the point, right? - Hmm.
I've been lost a long time, Lil.
Made a lot of mistakes.
But... I'm ready to make a change.
Christina.
I'm staying at the Grand Inn right now.
Not as fancy as it sounds.
It's a flophouse.
It's cheap.
But I'm looking to move.
Somewhere more permanent.
Near family.
I want to settle down.
Meet a good guy.
What about you, Lil?
You know me.
Working.
Well, working.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
Um..
Kind of..
...makes it kind of hard to get
a rental lease with a record
so I was hoping you could..
...co-sign for me.
Yeah, shouldn't have guessed that this was a social visit.
- You always want something. - I know.
You have no reason to believe me.
But I need you, Lil.
I don't, I don't know what to say.
Honestly, every time you come around
it's-it's like a hurricane hit town.
- Lilly-- - No, Christina.
I promised dad that I would talk to you
but I-I can't commit to anything else.
I mean, maybe it's better that you find someone else
to clean up after you.
I don't have anyone else.
I wish I could trust you, Christina.
I really do.
[melancholic music]
[bell jingling]
- Look at you, Slick Willy! - How?
Called your old high school and said I needed pictures
for your retirement party.
Still, um, this is the girl that
brought eyesight to the blind?
[chuckles]
And?
And...we located Felicia's mother.
Still had a few of her daughter's things in storage.
Look what I found in her sophomore yearbook.
"What do you see when you look in the mirror, because I'm
looking right through you and it's not pretty."
Signed Lee Mavoides.
Tracked him down to Morgan's Restaurant.
'He's the head chef.'
Well, let's hope his cooking's better than his poetry.
[indistinct chattering]
[buzzing]
[male #2] 'Pig in the pen.'
Yo, Mota?
What's happening, bro?
Tag. You're it, bitch.
That's for my mom.
[male #3] 'What?'
Thanks.
Buena suerte.
[male #4] 'Punk ass.'
[male #5] 'He's a rat.
'Be seeing you rat.'
[male #6] 'What up, you snitch?'
Felicia Grant killed on prom night.
Right.
You know, don't really remember.
High school was a long time ago.
Maybe this will help jog your memory.
Back when you were busy looking right through her.
Now that's embarrassing.
What kind of car did you drive to the prom?
It was my dad's Chrysler, I think.
- What color was it? - I don't know, gray. Look--
Put the knife down when I'm talking to you, Emeril.
Look, we used to be friends.
High school started, she became a cheerleader
and I became an afterthought.
Bitter pill to swallow?
Yeah, I wrote some mean things in her yearbook
listened to a lot of Cowboy Junkies and then I got over it.
Some strange coincidence you ended up going
to prom with her best friend?
Yeah, maybe I wanted to get a rise out of Felicia
but I realized that she really wasn't worth the drama.
[Morrissey singing "Suedehead"]
Didn't know you and Suzie were so close.
You didn't even know we all go to the same school.
That's lame.
Anyway, I saw you on the dance floor.
You two make a cute couple.
She's lucky to find a guy like you.
Guys like me don't really fit into your whole thing, Felicia.
What is my whole thing?
Don't be so modest.
You're the queen of McKinley High.
They even coroneted you.
Hey, I'm trying to be nice right now.
You don't have to be such a jackass.
You came to talk to me.
Yeah, because we used to be friends.
We used to make pizza and..
...geek out to old "Twilight Zones," remember?
I still like to make pizzas and watch old TV.
It was you that changed, Felicia.
And now, you've got the crown.
You're just so above it all.
If life's about being liked
you win, okay? Everybody loves you.
No. No, they don't love me.
They want to be me or they want to get with me
but they definitely don't love me.
Love, said the girl who treated high school like a contest.
Lee, wait.
You came to see if I was okay before.
I figure that had to mean you still cared...a little.
And unlike the rest of your friends
I can tell you've been miserable.
So, yes, I was worried.
Thanks.
You're the only one who noticed.
♪ I'm so.. ♪
I hate you, Felicia Grant!
Oh, Suzie, wait.
♪ Why do you come here ♪
♪ When you know it makes things hard for me.. ♪
Suzie refused to even look at me for the rest of the night.
I think living in Felicia's shadow kind of ruined her.
Suzie said the two of you went to Fairmount Park after prom.
She went to the after-party.
I smoked a couple bowls, and ended up at IHOP.
Alone.
[knock on door]
Scotty, what are you doing here?
Brought you some of those pastelitos de coco
you love so much.
In the middle of the afternoon?
Well, I had an interview nearby.
What, a son can't bring his own mother some pastries?
Of course. Thank you, mijito.
- Quieres cafe? - Nah, I got to get back.
Oh, honey, you can sit for ten minutes. Come on, sit.
No, ma, I can't. I can't.
[sighs]
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Never better.
[Scotty] I think she's about ready to spill.
Scotty, my sister didn't contact you, did she?
Christina?
- No. - Well..
- She's back in town. - Hmm.
I just, you know, maybe she'd call you, you know, booty call.
No, Lil.
Well, never mind.
Let's just do this.
Well, sorry, if we kept you waiting.
Just got caught up in the The Odyssey here.
You're all over this thing.
Vice president of the student body
co-captain of the cheerleading squad.
Second most popular girl at McKinley High.
[Scotty] 'That must have been hard, being number two.'
Always good, just never good enough.
Ever get sick of it, Suzie?
Living in Felicia's shadow?
- She was my best friend. - And your worst enemy.
Same thing, right.
Sure, you eat her dust for four years
then she pays you back on prom night
by taking your boyfriend.
- Boyfriend? I hardly knew Lee. - Well, that was the point.
Pick a guy you figure Felicia won't know.
And even then..
...you're runner-up.
You told us you were parking with Lee when Felicia died.
That's right.
[Scotty] 'Last time he saw you was..'
...at the dance.
Said you wanted to have the prom queen's head.
Why'd you lie about your alibi?
- Because I was embarrassed. - Embarrassed?
You ever been locked up?
I mean, because I acted like a child.
It was high school.
Everything was always so dramatic.
And afterwards you realize how stupid those fights were.
What happened between you and Felicia that night, Suzie?
I saw..
...Felicia with Lee and..
...I wanted to hurt her so badly..
...and I got my chance.
Suzie, please, listen.
It's not what it looked like.
Well, thank God, 'cause it sure looked like
you were trying to stick your tongue
'down my date's throat.'
Hey, we're not selling tickets here.
Get out.
I don't get it, Felicia.
Your quarterback boyfriend isn't good enough for you anymore?
- That's not it. - No? Why?
Why my date?
You remember..
...the guy I told you I lost my virginity to a few years back?
Yeah, some college guy down the shore.
He lived on my block, Suzie.
Lee?
It was a mistake.
We were way too young
and it's way over.
If you like him, you should go for it.
So I get your sloppy seconds?
That's not what I meant.
You're my best friend.
Closest friend in the world.
You are the only thing in this ridiculous place
that matters to me.
You're acting like we're never going to see each other again.
I'd never forgive myself if I hurt you.
Please.
Say we're okay.
We're okay.
She reached out to me.
And all I could see was an opportunity to take her down.
I needed her to know what it felt like to lose.
What did you do, Suzie?
I told Cole about Felicia and Lee and then..
...later at the after-party..
...I hooked up with him.
I thought Cole was long passed out.
Oh, sure, he was plastered, but..
...he was awake.
The Colster and I were just going back over
the events of prom night.
Right.
Did you get to the part where he lied about
being passed out in the back of that car?
I didn't lie about nothing.
Been claiming you out cold, but not so drunk
you didn't try to get over on Suzie Hill.
[laughs]
- I don't remember that at all. - 'Don't flatter yourself.'
She doesn't remember much of it either.
Boys down in the garage did some analysis of your '89 Mustang.
Turns out the paint on the front bumper has been replaced.
Doesn't match the factory original.
I had an accident a few years ago.
Back-ended some truck.
So what, you forgot to file a report?
No, I wanted to leave the insurance companies out of it.
This isn't the first lie you've told us there, Colster.
What about all that smoke you were blowing
about big-time college ball?
Okay, so I exaggerate a little.
Don't mean I hurt Felicia.
- 'Like I said passed out.' - No, you were blacked out.
'Means you just don't remember what you did.'
Like hooking up with Suzie.
Or getting in your car and tracking down Felicia.
[Scotty] 'If I found out my high school girlfriend'
was messing around..
...especially with a guy like Lee..
...there's no telling what I'd have done.
That night was supposed to end different.
You touched my girl. I'm gonna break your face.
Dude, I don't want any trouble.
Lee, that's enough!
- Just go. - This is pathetic.
Are you okay? You hurt?
I can't believe you would do him and not me.
It was a mistake.
One I-I don't want to make again.
I, I kept trying to pretend like tonight was going to be special
and that I wanted it too, but..
...Cole, we both know it's not true.
Let's call it, Cole.
Wait a minute, you..
You're breaking up with me?
At prom?
I know, I know. My timing sucks.
Babe, we were meant to be together.
Come on. I love you.
You don't even know me.
No way, babe, this runs deep.
Yeah, you say that now.
Next year it's all going to fade.
What? We're going to Penn State. Coed dorm, right?
I'm not going to State.
I'm going to Berkeley.
What? Berkeley?
Mr. Burke wanted me to apply.
He put in a call to his friend in admissions
and I just got off the wait list.
- Why didn't you tell me? - 'I didn't tell anyone.'
I wasn't sure before.
Look, Cole, it's not about you.
I just... I wanted to go somewhere new
where I didn't know anybody.
You have no idea what I'm saying, do you?
You're saying I'm not getting any tonight.
Sorry.
But if it's any consolation
you can tell the team any story you want.
Your rep's safe with me.
Hey, we never got a picture together as king and queen.
[chuckles]
Come here.
High school..
...was the only time that my life was worth a damn.
And prom?
That was supposed to top it all..
...but it blew.
Girlfriend left you you got your ass kicked.
Ended up spending the rest of the night in the ER
getting my stomach pumped.
Didn't tell anybody that she broke it off with me.
Wanted to keep up my image.
I was always the Colster.
No one can ever take that from me.
That picture Felicia took when was that?
Um..
...end of prom, I guess, uh, around 11:30.
Disposable cameras from that night had 24 exposures.
Stack of photos from Felicia's camera?
- Only 23. - One photo's missing.
The one she took of her and Cole at the end of prom.
- Never got developed? - It got developed, alright.
Went back to the CVS. They keep the negatives on computer now.
So either Mrs. Jacobs or Principal Burke got rid of it.
Ms. Jacobs was barely in elementary school
when Felicia was killed.
Look closer. Check out the car.
[John] 'Silver, looks like a Volvo.'
Looked up DMV records for '89.
Principal Burke owned the same make and model.
[Lilly] 'Are you sure?'
When did you notice it was missing?
No. No, dad, it's not okay.
[Lilly] 'No, I'll handle it.'
Damn it.
[thuds]
- What was that? - Christina just disappeared.
Along with some jewelry at my dad's house.
Should have known.
If you need help, say the word.
I'll handle it.
Just gotta take care of this first.
[John] 'According to DMV records'
Mr. Burke, you drove a silver Volvo back in '89?
That's right.
It's right here in this photo
the one that you neglected to share with us taken at 11:30.
- 'Right as the prom ended.' - 'Bit confusing.'
You said you were in the ER
all night with an injured student.
Where are you going with this?
Felicia Grant was mowed down
by a vehicle with the same paint job.
[Lilly] 'It must have been a real shock'
when Ms. Jacobs found that old camera.
All those photos of Felicia.
Like a ghost coming back to haunt you.
[Lilly] 'We spoke to Ms. Jacobs.'
And she said that at first
you didn't think those photos were, you know, worth
bringing to the police.
Well, she's mistaken.
I want justice for Felicia
just as much as anyone.
- She was a special student. - 'No doubt about that.'
"Felicia has an intelligence and maturity
"that far exceeds even the best students.
Her star burns brightly at McKinley."
[John] 'The letter of recommendation'
you sent to Cal-Berkeley on her behalf.
I've written hundreds of recommendations.
You went the extra mile for Felicia.
Put several phone calls in
to make sure she got taken off the wait list.
Are you suggesting we had an inappropriate relationship?
She was just...a girl.
Felicia was no ordinary student, now, was she?
What makes you think--
'Cause you've been in this room
with two dozen photos of Felicia
and you've barely looked at her once.
Look now!
[John] 'You went to four different auto shops'
for replacement parts for that Volvo.
You fixed it yourself.
You should have paid cash.
[Lilly] 'She was left there.'
Her date was too drunk to drive her home.
And then there you were.
[banging on door]
[grunts]
[Steve] 'Felicia?'
What are you still doing here?
[Steve] She needed a ride.
Believe that?
The prom queen was left behind.
Was I supposed to leave her there?
You were supposed to drive her home.
Mr. Burke, we're supposed to turn these in to prom committee
but there's still one picture left.
Here. One last shot of the prom queen.
Tomorrow you turn back into a pumpkin, so..
Come on. Let's get out of here.
[Lilly] But something happened on the way there, right?
I always knew where to draw the line.
A joke, a pat on the back.
But Felicia was special, wasn't she?
[Steve] Shewasdifferent.
Beautiful. But so much more than that.
She had it all.
I just wanted to be a part of that.
So, no after-party?
- Just going home. - 'Come on.'
The prom queen can't end the night with a whimper.
I just don't feel much like partying.
Hey.
Felicia.
Something happen?
No. No, it's just a crazy night.
I think I lost my best friend.
I broke up with Cole.
Hey.
It's okay. Cole Austen?
I mean, you've been out of his league for a long time.
It's more than Cole.
I'm saying goodbye to everything I know.
I'm excited to move on.
'But also..'
...I'm terrified.
Does that make sense?
Perfect.
It's normal.
I'm proud of you, Felicia.
Thanks, Mr. Burke.
Oh, please, you're practically graduated.
You can call me Steve.
Okay... Steve.
[chuckles]
You've always been so cool.
I don't even really think of you like a teacher.
I don't think of you as just any student.
Mr. Burke. What the hell?
I'm sorry! I, um, I must have misread..
- I have to go. - Wait! No, wait, Listen to me.
Listen to me! Let's just forget this ever happened, okay?
- I feel sick. - Wait. Listen!
Mr. Burke, you're hurting me.
Calm down. We're gonna keep this between us, okay?
- Let go! - We need to talk about this!
- Wait, let's talk about it! - Leave me alone.
Felicia, wait!
