Last season on Love, Victor...
Mom, Dad.
I'm gay,
and I'm with Benji now.
I don't want it to be a secret anymore.
When did you decide this?
I didn't decide it. I just am it.
Benji's my boyfriend,
and I'd like you to call him that.
Some guys on my team don't want me changing.
You should be around people who want you to be you.
Say the word, and I will ditch these gays
like a corporation after Pride Month.
Wait, are you and Felix gonna do it this weekend?
So on three, we're gonna drop our towels.
Benji's had sex before,
and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Mia, I've waited pretty much my entire life
to be exactly where I am right now.
- Last night was... - Yeah, it was.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
What excuse could you possibly have
for doing that in my house?
Sex or gay sex?
She's been depressed for a while now.
She barely gets out of bed.
- I think we need to get you some help. - No.
He asked you not to say anything about his mom and now
she's being detained.
Wait, wait, you're sober?
We tell each other everything.
I've put up with a ton of your shit.
Dear Victor. My name is Rahim. I'm gay.
You're a catch, Rahim.
- Someone has a little crush. - On Felix? Yeah, right.
Last night was, like, more fun
than I had in, like, forever.
I can't just pretend that everything between us is normal
after I kissed you.
Lake and I broke up.
I'm not giving up on God. I'm giving up on you.
Thank you for being so patient with me.
The president of Stanford is retiring,
and he offered me the job.
Ripping her away from her home.
I don't think she'll ever come back from that.
Let's go see my mom.
I never really saw you with him anyway.
Who'd you see me with?
Someone totally different.
I swear I never meant to get in between you and Benji.
I feel like such an idiot.
I'm not allowed to have a friend?
I don't think that's all this is.
Now, imagine all the future things you wanna do with your boyfriend.
Who do you see?
Hi.
I... I couldn't let the night end with you thinking that I moved on.
Victor, I, uh...
Did I ever tell you
about the first time that I saw you?
It was my first day at Creekwood,
and you were at the water fountain,
uh, by the teacher's lounge,
looking insanely cool.
And at that moment, I realized
this lie that I've been telling myself for my whole life just...
went up in smoke.
You changed my life.
I love you, Benji.
It's always been you.
I love you, too.
Good God, man.
Benji's mom is always on me
about being more romantic.
I should take lessons from you, Victor.
Dad, can you get out of here?
Actually, maybe we can get out of here.
There's, uh, somewhere I wanna take you.
But, you would have to drive.
I-I kind of ran here.
And he ran here? Go. Have fun. Take my car.
But not too much fun.
Don't have sex in my car. I just got it detailed.
You know, when you said you were taking me somewhere romantic,
I wasn't really picturing school.
Yeah, but where exactly at school are we?
The bench where we had our first real kiss.
Spring Fling.
Can we just...
go back to that perfect moment?
You know, start over?
Are you sure nothing's going on with you and Rahim?
Rahim...
kissed me at the wedding.
And I didn't stop him.
I thought we were friends, and...
things got confused, but I-I'm not confused now.
I swear.
Is he a good kisser?
I feel like I should say no, so I'm just going to go with no.
Benji, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
for being such a jerk about your mom.
I... I just... I hated seeing you get hurt over and over again,
a... and I wanted to protect you. I just...
didn't know how.
So, I lashed out.
I'm sorry I didn't fight for us sooner.
I wish we could've just... talked like this before.
We wasted so much time.
That's the third time you've looked out that window tonight.
Just admiring the window dressings.
Is this raffia?
You know they are. You picked them out.
Who are you waiting for?
I thought someone might show up.
Now, I'm not so sure.
Is this someone a boy?
Why don't you pray?
That's your answer for everything.
Or you could look out the window again. That seems to be working.
Good night, Maman.
That's four times.
Mm! Fun fact.
Did you know your tongue print is as unique as your fingerprint?
So, you know, you shouldn't go committing crimes with your tongue.
How about less fun facts, more kissing?
- Hi, Pilar. - Felix is waiting for Victor
to get back from the wedding. That's why he's here.
Okay. Uh, hey, Felix.
- So, we have a little news... - You're back together!
- What? How did you... - It was either that or divorce,
and it'd be really weird to announce a divorce while holding hands.
Look at that.
Yes. Uh, your mother and I, we really want to make it work.
I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
Nope. No questions. I'm happy. Good job. Congratulations.
Guys, just bring it in here!
Oh man.
Gosh, I love love.
Oh! And, you know, speaking of love...
Ah! Oh gosh.
It took a second for the emotions to hit me, but, wow,
we really are a family again.
Thank you, cariño. Look,
we just want you to know that we love you so much.
- Same, same, same. Go Salazars! - Yay!
- ¡Felicidades! - Oh. If you're hungry, just...
So, from the way you flung me clear across the room,
I'm getting that you don't want them to know.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It's just that we've been together for, like, 10 seconds.
I just want to enjoy the fun fooling around thing
a little bit longer before we start telling people about us.
Okay?
I guess our unique tongue prints do have some acquainting to do.
Well, this is the address in the emails.
It's not too late to turn around.
Nope.
I, uh, haven't seen my mom in five years.
I want some answers.
Then let's get you some answers.
I also really have to pee.
Sorry to just show up like this.
Mia...
Oh my God, I can't believe you're here.
I've missed you so much.
Look at you!
Is it me or does champagne just taste better when it's stolen?
It tastes better when it's a $400 bottle.
Hm.
Still nothing from Felix?
Nope.
I think it's really over with us.
You sad?
Yeah.
But, not in an Olivia Rodrigo
write-a-whole-album-wishing- I-could-castrate-him kind of way.
I'm really glad I met Felix.
He helped me stop caring about what other people think.
Were you sad when you broke up with Andrew?
Yes,
but mostly 'cause I left my favorite hoodie at his house.
But, actually...
Dating him helped me figure out some stuff, too.
What kind of stuff?
Oh, shit. We got to go.
Oh, uh, your parents?
Oh my God, I wish my house was this nice.
Wait, Lucy, whose house is this?
I don't know. There was a for sale sign out front.
- I thought it was empty. - Oh my God.
We got to go. We got to go!
Somebody there? Hello?
You know, my family's going up to Aspen for the winter break.
Is there any chance you'd like to come with?
To Aspen?
I-I don't know how to ski.
Oh, you'll pick it up.
Or you'll look cute falling on your butt.
Oh, okay!
Now, hold on a sec.
Think there's an accident?
License and registration, please.
Have anything to drink tonight?
It's a DUI checkpoint.
Okay, so? It's not like you've been drinking.
Benji?
So, before you came over, I was upset.
Just a few drinks, and I know I shouldn't have driven,
but my dad was standing right there, and I just...
I-I didn't know what to do, you know? So, I...
Switch with me.
You just got your license back.
Put the car in park and switch with me, Benji.
Nobody saw. Everything's gonna be okay.
Carrot cake sans raisin.
Sans cake.
Just frosting.
- That's how I like it. - Mm. Mm.
Okay, my parents are in the next room. Could you kiss a little quieter?
Alternative solution. Why don't we just tell your parents?
Pilar, they've been really good to me.
They took me in when my mom was going through all that stuff.
I just... I don't feel great lying to them.
After the first few times, you get used to it.
Don't you think they'd be happy for us?
Can we slow down? I mean,
we haven't even gone on a date. We just kissed.
Oh, who did you kiss?
What? No one. Who did you kiss?
Pilar, come on. I just heard you say you kissed someone.
I was reading a text.
Honey! It's okay.
You can tell me if there's someone special in your life.
There's nobody. I promise.
Uh, yeah, I, uh... You know, I think I should go.
I don't know when, um, uh, Victor's coming home.
So, that's...
Um...
Yeah, that's... I mean, that's the reason why I came here, right?
Such a sweet boy.
What the heck happened to my cake?
You don't think that house had cameras, do you?
Oh, Lucy, don't even joke. I can't go to prison for this.
All that overhead lighting. So unflattering.
Hey, uh, do you think I could borrow something to wear?
This uniform smells like shrimp cocktail and minimum wage.
Yeah, sure. Help yourself.
You know, you never did tell me
how you ended up cater-waitering Harold's wedding.
I pick up a lot of jobs. I'm trying to save up as much as I can
so I can get out of here as soon as humanly possible.
Um, you don't like Creekwood?
You know, if you're not happy living in a town
with two Lululemons, I don't know what to tell you.
Three. They, uh, just turned the animal shelter into one.
Oh!
I just feel like I'm kinda stuck here. Like...
I'm waiting for my real life to start.
You probably don't know what that's like.
I mean, high school is always amazing
for the popular, pretty girls.
Uh, I-I'm okay.
But you are, like, next-level gorge
and way cooler than I am.
Like "Twilight"-era Kristen Stewart, but capable of smiling.
Yeah, but you have, like,
the perfect hair,
and the perfect clothes,
and the perfect body.
Uh, I'm hardly perfect. Um...
My right boob's a tiny bit smaller than the left.
Perfect to me.
Um...
I...
thought I heard my phone.
Um...
Still no word from Felix.
Oh, that's too bad.
You know, it's kind of late. Um...
I think I'm going to go. Uh...
Can I get this back to you another time?
Yeah. Whenever you want.
- Okay. - Bye.
I swear, I woke up this morning,
and I just knew something good was gonna happen.
The universe brought you here.
Actually, one of your emails did.
'Cause you mentioned that you were crashing
with your friend Layla in Savannah?
Only since I've been back in the States.
Oh yeah. You were in Ghana, right?
For a-a sculpture installation?
That's so cool.
Well, Ghana is a marvel. Have you been?
- Um, not... - To Ghana?
Oh, she's been meaning to, and then she remembered
she's in high school.
Let's not talk about high school. That's boring.
I still can't believe you ended up with Andrew Spencer.
Remember when he used to chase you around on his scooter?
Oh! And he had the chunkiest cheeks!
Oh, Layla, honey.
Can you get over
how absolutely breathtaking my daughter is?
It's good to see you, baby. Your mom talks about you all the time.
Uh, guilty.
I'm very, very proud of you.
There are two guys back there,
and one keeps talking about you...
But, like, what is she proud of?
She doesn't know anything about you.
Wait, wait. No, I know things.
I-I get bits and pieces from your dad's posts,
like your sophomore art show.
Those lightbox portraits. They were gallery-ready. Hm.
I just... I wish I could have seen them in the flesh.
I mean, you could have. It was a high school art show.
I can't imagine tickets were very hard to come by.
Andrew, it's fine. It's fine.
It's fine.
I should have been there.
And I wasn't.
Uh...
Could you, uh, excuse me for a moment?
What the hell was that?
Benji...
Look, it's okay. They waved us right through the checkpoint.
But what if they saw us switching seats?
I don't understand how you're being so nice about this.
Because...
I love you.
You drank. You slipped up.
But, you'll call your sponsor tomorrow,
and, and you'll start over.
Hey, guys. Sorry to interrupt.
I just have an early morning, so I want to get my keys back before bed.
Why does Victor have my keys?
Uh...
I-I never drove a Range Rover before,
so Benji let me drive it for the last few blocks.
Pretty sweet ride, right?
Yeah.
- Good night, guys. - Good night.
Wait. Dad.
I can't do this.
What is it, Benji?
I have to tell my parents.
I think you should go.
Hey, man. What are you doing?
Hey! Waiting for you to get home.
And annoying Mrs. Loo in 202?
Sorry. Things with Benji went a little longer than expected.
- Yeah, they did. - No, not...
Not like that.
Benji's...
He's going through some, uh, pretty intense personal stuff
that I can't really talk about right now.
Okay.
But, uh, what about you?
Did you end up getting with my sister?
I tried to sound supportive.
No, it's fine. Not yet. You know...
Everything with Pilar was great, but...
she got weird about your parents knowing.
Hm.
That was an ominous "hm".
Do your parents not like me?
Is my Salazar family crush unrequited?
No. My family loves you.
It-it's just that if they find out that you're seeing Pilar,
they might...
love you less.
What? Why?
Well, they're very protective over her.
Like. when she had a boyfriend back in Texas,
my dad took her door off her bedroom.
Okay, that is a little bit psycho.
Listen, man, Latino dads and their daughters, it's a real thing.
So,
maybe just let Pilar lead the way on this one for a little while.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Hey, and whatever mystery thing's going on with Benji,
you guys are gonna get through it.
If you're half as good at kissing as your sister...
- Dude! - I regretted that as soon as I said it.
Hey.
Um, sorry about Andrew.
Oh, I get it.
I'd be wary of me, too.
Um... So, my dad got remarried today.
And how do we feel about her?
Veronica, right?
It took a minute,
uh, but she's actually pretty great.
It's my dad who I'm struggling with right now.
He just got offered a new job.
He wants to move us across the country,
and he doesn't care at all what I want.
Sounds familiar.
Is that why you left?
I've only ever heard his side.
When you were 4 or 5,
I got an offer to show in this tiny gallery in Paris.
Nothing prestigious, but...
it meant something to me.
I'll never forget the look on his face
when I said I wanted us to go to Paris.
Like I was a stupid child, living in a dream world.
So, that's why you left?
Because he wouldn't go to Paris with you?
No, no, of course not.
Don't you understand?
I was losing myself in that house.
What about me?
I-I don't know what to say.
It was selfish.
And horrible.
And the worst thing I've ever done.
But...
I am not the person I was when I left.
And I would do anything to have you in my life again, so...
tell me what I can do.
You could move to Creekwood.
- What? - You could move to Creekwood.
I mean, if you were there, then I wouldn't have to move.
- Oh. - And we could...
maybe work on our relationship.
And maybe, um...
I don't know. Try to...
heal?
I love that idea.
But I'm supposed to go to Prague in a few weeks.
I accepted a residency at a gallery there.
But, it's only for a few months.
So, maybe after that?
I-I think after that would work great.
This was a mistake.
Mia.
I don't know why I thought it would be different.
Can you take me home?
Okay.
Morning.
I saw your tasbih on your dresser.
Was somebody praying last night?
Yes, Maman. But...
I don't think it worked.
Pretty sure you're not supposed to pray for a boy to show up.
Isn't that, like, a big Muslim no-no?
When I was pregnant,
I prayed every day for a boy to show up,
and God delivered the greatest gift of my life.
Your brother Nasser.
Okay.
Rahim.
I know it may not feel this way right now,
but I believe God has a plan for you.
And that plan includes someone who will love you
with all his heart.
So, it is written.
It is written.
It's open!
Lucy! Long time no see.
I just wanted to give you this.
- Oh. - I washed it.
Actually, I didn't, but I did spritz it with Febreze.
Right. Okay, well, you...
didn't have to do that, but thanks.
I had a lot of fun last night. Um...
Sorry if I kind of killed the vibe at the end.
We don't have to talk about.
No, no, I want to. Um...
I think I just got scared.
Not because I didn't want it to happen, but...
because I did.
Oh.
Yeah. Oh.
So, what now?
Holy shit.
Hey. Hey, don't worry. I told your parents
that I was helping your dad move back in today,
so now I get to lug heavy boxes up the stairs.
Hey, I'm sorry about last night.
There's nothing... There's nothing to be sorry about.
I ended up talking to Victor.
Why didn't you tell me your dad's protective of you?
Because it's humiliating.
I mean, the whole time I've known you,
I've been Victor's baby sister,
and I didn't want you to see me as some little girl
whose dad watches over her like a hawk.
I don't see that way.
Okay, I see you as a super-smart,
bad-ass, model-gorgeous neighbor
whose father would murder me
if he knew the thoughts running through my head right now.
What kind of thoughts?
Trust me, we're not there yet.
Sweetheart.
Thank God. I was, uh,
I was worried about you.
Listen, um...
I handled things terribly. I should have been able...
We are going to figure this out.
Okay?
You, uh,
weren't responding to my texts, so I just... I got worried.
Well, my parents took my phone away.
Do we need to get you a burner? L... like in the spy movies?
We could hide it under a floorboard.
Victor, I'm...
I'm going to rehab.
What?
Yeah, my...
My dad set it up this morning. It's an in-patient program.
Wait, rehab? This is crazy.
Actually, it's...
- It's not. - You had a slipup. You drank one time
- in a year. - It wasn't just one time.
I've been drinking sometimes.
When?
Before a big test.
After a fight with my parents.
The night I came over your house and yelled at your mom.
Look, I've been running away from it, just wanting it to go away,
but it-it won't. And then, last night,
I lied to you.
I drove. I put you in danger.
Look, Victor, if you and I are gonna have
any real chance of working out, then I have to figure this out.
And I have to do it alone.
Okay? So, that means three weeks, no emails, no phone.
I think it's going to be really good for me.
What do I tell people when they ask where you are?
I mean, I don't want the whole world knowing, but...
you can tell anyone that you really trust.
And what happens after three weeks?
I'm not sure.
