Bex: Previously, on Andi Mack...
I don't think we were ever introduced.
Buffy, the new shooting guard.
Funny, you look like the new benchwarmer.
I have a favor. There's a student who needs tutoring.
-No way! -I'm out.
You don't have an option.
You get my friend Cyrus here,
a chocolate chocolate chip muffin, then we have a deal.
I'll need at least a C-plus.
-You seem to know Bowie. -You could say that.
'Cause I was thinking I'd like to ask him out.
Unless, are you interested in him?
We're throwing him a surprise party!
-Is this about my birthday? -Surprise!
All: Bowie! Bowie! Bowie! Bowie!
-Hey, I love you. -I love you, too, Dad.
-What if there's a cow in there? -Oh.
Bex, go! I wanna take my turn.
I just don't like thinking I might hit a cow.
-Bowie: Moo! -(Andi giggles)
Step aside. Let me show you how it's done.
-(ball clatters in hole) -All: Oh!
What?
Did I really just do that?
I guess I did.
-(crowing) -(celebratory music playing)
-(explosion) -(music slows, distorts)
What does that mean?
You get a hole-in-one in the last hole, and you win a free game.
-(laughs) -Hey, who wants pizza?
Uh-oh. What's wrong?
Oh. Nothing.
Sometimes a pizza is just a pizza.

Better.
But it could just be that everything tastes better

Don't gloat with your mouth full.

to a free game at Hank's Putt-Putt Farm?
(groans) Not it.
(phone buzzing)
Oh. I gotta get this.
I'll be right back.
Hey!
"Hey!"
-What was that? -It's none of our business.
So there's business.
I didn't say that.
Well, do you know who it is he's talking to?
-No... -So you do know.
How did you get that from "no"?
Because I can read you.
That's creepy.
You'd have to be closer to hear what he's saying.
But I could use some Parmesan.
-Why did you yawn? -I don't know. I was trying to act casual.
-Sorry about that. -Oh, no problem.
You're allowed to get a phone call.
Thanks?

Okay.

Give me a name.
There's this plant doctor.
A name.
Miranda.
Miranda the plant doctor.
I don't like it.
It's okay for Bowie to move on.
No, it isn't.
And I can tell that you don't think so, either.
So, what are we going to do about it?
We're not gonna do anything about it.
Okay, so what am I going to do about it?
Respect his privacy.
No.
I didn't know Cyrus ever got called into the principal's office.
This is a first.
-What happened? -Cyrus?
I've been discovered.
-By who? -Dr. Metcalf. He wants me to star
in some video thing for the school website.
Some how-to clips to help new kids navigate their way around the school.
Dude, that's awesome!
I'm so proud of you, Cyrus. We have to celebrate later.
Where are you going?
Oh, I'm supposed to meet up with Bowie.
Now that you're a star, are you gonna forget about your friends?
-Of course not. I'll need an entourage. -Absolutely.
I'll do anything to help.
Actually, I could use a cinematographer.
When do we start?
Is now too soon?
Actually, it is for me. I gotta make sure this and this are camera ready.
Okay. BRB, JB! (laughs)

-Finally. -Sorry. Forgot the room number.
And the time we were supposed to meet.
-I'm bad with numbers. -Stop with the lame excuses.
This isn't gonna work if you're not gonna take this seriously.
Please don't waste my time, T.J.
Are you going to take this seriously?
Yeah.
Then let's get started.
Okay, first we're gonna work on how to evaluate an expression with variables.

So what do you wanna talk about?
Oh, anything! You decide.
But you said that you had something

Oh! Did I? Right.
Are you seeing someone?
What gave you that idea?
Oh! I don't know, maybe the way you said
"Hey!" into your phone.
You're not gonna tell me you were just talking to your dentist.
-He's a very good dentist. -Oh, yeah.
And how does he compare to, say, your plant doctor?
(sighs) Okay. So you know.
What do I know?
I was gonna talk to you guys.
But it's... still really early.
So there's not a lot to talk about.
Well, there's "yes" and there's "no."
So, are you seeing someone?
Yes?
Yeah.
Oh.
So, Miranda, right?
That's her name?
Yes, that's her name.
Well, keep going. What else?
I've only seen her a couple times.
Well, I want to meet her.
I don't want you to meet her unless it's serious.
Aha. So you think it might get serious,
which means serious is on the table.
I don't follow that logic.
(Andi scoffs)
I should meet her before you decide if it's going to be serious.
You make an interesting point.
(sighs)
So this is what I'm gonna do.
Since this is all new territory,
I'm gonna leave it up to me.
Are you okay with that?
Fine.
Well, can I at least meet your dentist?

Hi, Cyrus Goodman here.

Here's where you're gonna be spending most of your time
in middle school, your locker.
Some of you are gonna be seeing it from the inside,
but don't worry about that now.
With just five minutes between classes,
speed is key.
Like so.
Ta-da!
Now that's what you wanna avoid.
Now that we've covered the "don'ts"...
Sometimes you just gotta put some muscle into it.
(grunting)
Jonah, you think you could help me find someone with some muscle?
Wait. Is that even your locker?
No, it is not.
-Cut. -Dude, you're startin' to sweat a little.
Oh, I am?
You missed some.

Okay. So, X equals 2 in this equation.
So, what is Y?
Okay. Y is 7.
Just give me the sum total.
I don't know.
I really am trying to help you, T.J.,
but I can't if you won't even answer basic questions.
I don't know the answer, okay?
Okay. Let's try some pre-algebra.
Mr. Brown went grocery shopping--
How come someone's always shopping in these problems?
Come up here and work it out.
Nah. I can do it from here.
(sighs)
Twenty-five.
How did you arrive at that answer?
Is it right?
-No. -Then who cares how I got it?
Because it helps to know your thought process.
I guessed.
Does that help?
T.J., if you don't know the answer, that's fine.
But you have to be honest with me.
Do any of these types of problems even look familiar to you?
Sure. I've seen 'em before.
Couldn't do them then, and I can't do them now.
Maybe you need to do some warm-up exercises?
Like with basketball! You have a better chance of making a tough basket
if you're warmed up.
Seriously? You're gonna use basketball analogies?
Like, do you think that's the only thing I'll understand?
Hey, you know what really helps me?
The multiplication tables!
And you gotta try this board.
It's super fun!
Pass.
Fine. Use paper if you want.
You do know the multiplication tables, right?
You think I'm stupid?
I never said that.
Well... I am.
You know, I'm starting to think that I don't wanna meet Miranda.
Because if I do, that means it's serious,
and I can't handle another parent
or parent equivalent.
Hey... no matter what happens,
we're his family, and you're his daughter.
Nothing's gonna change that.

So I did some research, and I think I found something.

You had to research that?
No, I mean, I think you have a learning disability.
It's like dyslexia, but with numbers.
I know it sounds bad, but this is actually good news.

You can learn math.
