Morning.
Oh, my gosh. Why are you even awake?
Aren't you exhausted, too?
Mm‐hmm.
Are you not exhausted, honey?
Boys.
Oh, yeah. I am ‐‐ Ooh, I'm exhausted.
I am satisfied. Okay. Okay, yeah.
But I just need to look at the internship page
because they post new ones first thing every morning.
Obviously, no fashion ones.
Plus, anything that's just halfway decent is gone by 10:00 a. m.
I mean, at this point,
I think I'm gonna have to roll with the ‐‐ what is it? ‐‐
the We Wash Doggy Mobile Grooming internship.
Ah. Nope.
Spoke too soon. That's gone, too.
I think it's so wild that Cal U is sweating you
over these stupid internship credits.
I mean, haven't you done like five of them already?
Uh, two.
And technically, I never finished them,
and without the credit, I can't graduate.
Which is crazy, because I've met my class requirements,
I have more than enough units to graduate,
and my grades are fi‐‐
well, okay, my grades are decent,
but I was so excited for the big luau tonight
and celebrating finally seeing the finish line.
Instead, I'm just gonna be stressing
about this internship stuff.
What luau are you talking about?
Uh, Doug and Luca's luau.
They're calling in the "Lil' Litty Luau."
Remember? No. I don't.
And I would because I hate alliteration.
Uh, yeah, no, I'm not ‐‐ I'm not gonna go to that.
And I don't know why you're going.
Isn't Luca the reason why you're up at the buttcrack of dawn
applying for a poodle‐washing gig?
I don't know why you'd still want to go.
You should be mad at him.
Oh. I am.
But it's my Senior year, and I'm not gonna let Luca
stop me from going to my last handful of parties.
Plus, fun fact, I ‐‐ I love fire.
And a luau has pigs roasting over fire.
They have fire walkers. They have fire eaters.
They have so much fire.
Yeah. You like fire. I get it.
Come on. Be the moth to my flame tonight.
Listen, even if I wanted to go to this thing,
which I absolutely do not want to go...
Hmm? ...I have to teach my midnight class.
Really? Yeah. I'm sorry.
We could link up afterwards.
And I could give you some litty lit lovin'.
You saw what I did there? You know what?
You're right. I do hate alliteration now.
You loved them. You literally loved them ‐‐ No.
Stop talking.
Doug said he updated our budget.
I just need to know if we have enough money
to properly execute my vision for this luau.
Okay. Well, let's check it out.
Dude, you've already got like
500 confirmed pre‐sales for tonight.
Looks like you guys are sitting pretty great.
Yeah, our Lil' Litty Luau is gonna be lit...
literally.
I just wish Kervell would hit me back.
Kervell?
Yeah. My fire guy.
You do realize you don't need a "fire guy" to make fire.
Peasant.
I just hope Doug got enough security for tonight
'cause that shit is going to be cuh‐raaazy fire.
Like Hanukkah.
Oh, can you actually hit up Doug to double‐check?
I got to try Big Kerv again.
Mm. I don't know.
I mean, are you sure you're gonna be comfortable with me
calling Doug, you know, considering you had
such a big problem with us texting? No.
Pretty sure I have a problem with you entangling with my boy.
And I'm pretty sure I have a problem
with you telling me who I can and can't entangle with.
Listen, I don't want to infringe
on your advanced educational experience,
but you're my sister.
Doug's my guy.
The three of us equals a trifecta of greatness.
The two of you hooking up could put our greatness at risk.
And to be honest,
the most important third of this trifecta is you.
[ Chuckles ] Oh, my God.
You're so full of it.
[ Cellphone rings ] Kervy Kerve!

What ‐‐ What do you mean you're out of the fire game?
Both hands?
Oh, my God.

I cannot think of a more satisfying way
to put months of studying behind us
than throwing on a lei and throwing back some tequila!

Those were the worst four hours of my life today.
Mnh! You pushed a whole human out of your vagina,

Yeah. Nomi, he's not my boo.
Please, it's so obvious there's something
brewing between you two. Okay.
Nothing's brewing. We're just friends.
And maybe at some point something was a‐brew...
And? And nothing.
You know, we had a few drinks. Had a few mozzarella sticks.
Des showed up in a dress.
And, uh, brewing ended.
I'm sorry, what?
[ Sighs ] Look, I knew Des was queer,
and I didn't think I'd have a problem with it,

it was game over for me ‐‐
Now, look, before any of you come for me ‐‐ Nomi ‐‐
I just want to say that I know it's more of my issue
and not Des's issue, alright?
But I can't imagine myself having sex with someone
who also shops at the club dress section at FashionNova.
Okay, well, in Des's defense,
it seems like you can't see yourself having sex with anyone,
considering the last person you were with
was Doug a year ago.
Look, Jazz, zero judgment, okay?
I'm just ‐‐ I'm wondering if this is less of a Des issue
and more of a Doug issue?
[ Sighs ]
The only issue is figuring out a way to break it to Des
that I'm not interested without ruining the friendship.
Which is exactly why you need to be honest and direct.
Just go down there and rip that queer band‐aid right off.
Okay. Okay. You're right.
