That's me. Jane Quimby.
My life is a little complicated right now.
I landed my fashion dream job working for her,
Gray Chandler Murray.
The only problem, they think I'm an adult.
Now I am juggling two secret lives,
one in high school and one in high fashion.
You're the only one that can help.
You made all of your brother's fake IDs.
I want you to get close to her.
Find out what she's up to.
So what do you wanna know about me?
How long have you been at Whitemarsh?
Long enough to know that you were in prison.
Ben, we need to talk.
I don't want to slow things down.
RITA: Then I think we need to take a little break.
I'm going to take down Gray and Jane.
And you are going to help me do it.
And why would I do that?
Because I know it was you, Jeremy.
You were the mole.
Today's the big day!
It's not that big of a day.
Are you kidding? It's your birthday.
It's only the most important day of the year.
If you say so.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, there she is!
Here I am.
Is that for me?
Who else would it be for?
Today is your day,
and I wanted to be the first person to give you a birthday present.
Oh, thank you.
I was the first person to wish her "happy birthday."
Just so there's no confusion.
Oh, and by the way, I'm taking Jane out tonight to celebrate.
Slow your roll, fauxhawk.
Pick another night.
You pick another night, balloon boy.

and Whitemarsh is gonna get a number one seed.
Wait. What?
(DOOR OPENING) (BILLY SIGHING)
There she is!
Here I am.
Oh, is that for me?
What?
Oh. Oh, no, no, no. It's for Zoe.
Why'd you get her a present?
It's more like an inside joke gift.
You guys already have inside jokes?
Sorta. It's no big deal.
We're hanging out again tonight though.
- Tonight? - Mmm-hmm.
And what are you doing tonight?
I'm celebrating with the team.
You can tag along if you want.
It's gonna be kind of a guy thing though.
And you and Nick used to date.
I wouldn't want things to get too awkward for me.
Yeah, I wouldn't want that.
Yeah, we should probably get going, huh?
Wow. Janey.
I almost forgot what today is.
It's trash day.
You mind grabbing it on your way out? Thanks.
I can't believe this.
They fracking forgot my birthday.

Hey.
Okay. Bye.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
- You wanted to see me, Coach? - Yes.
How's your arm feeling today?
Fine, I guess.
On a scale of one to ten.
I have no idea.
Approximately. Give me a number.
Could we do this at practice?
'Cause I'm kind of late for history.
History's in the past, Nick. I wanna discuss your future.
Right now?
Does the name Steve Brooks ring a bell?
- No. Should it? - That depends.
Have you ever heard of an organization
known as Major League Baseball?
- Have you? - Yeah.
Good. Steve's one of he top scouts.
He used to come here to watch me pitch.
Anyhow, you remember that one-hit shutout
you threw against Wrightsville last month?
Yeah.
Well, I sent Steve the game film.
Is that it?
No.
But he must've liked what he saw,
because he's here to watch you pitch today.
- Are you being serious? - Yeah.
This is huge for us.
- Us? - You.
A scout from the Majors is here to watch me pitch? Today?
During lunch.
So, how's that arm feeling? One to ten.
I need a number. Right now.
Nine and a half.
So let me get this straight. It's your best friend Jane's birthday,
and you know this.
Obviously.
But you don't want her to know you know.
Exactly. That's the plan.
Sounds like a bad plan.
You know, I agree.
Phase one of the plan is a little questionable.
As long as we're in agreement.
Look, I've known Jane my entire life.
She's gonna love it when we surprise her tonight at The Rack.
An end of day surprise?
That's phase two of your brilliant plan?
Actually, it's her brother Ben's plan.
I can't take credit for it.
All right. I get it.
As long as phase three involves some pretty great presents.
Actually, I think there's only two phases.
But that reminds me.
Can you hide this in your locker?
It's Jane's present, okay.
She saw it this morning and I told her it was for you.
Please don't drag me into this.
Ooh. There she is. Take it.
- No. - Take it.
- Just take it, please. - Fine.
- Hi. - Hi.
You guys haven't officially met. Right?
This is Zoe.
- That's Jane. ZOE: - Hi.
I feel like we've pretty much met.
Every story that Billy tells me involves you somehow.
Oh, gosh. That sounds annoying.
I've heard a lot about you, too.
I hear you guys have a funny inside joke.
- We do? - Yeah.
No, it's not really that funny at all.
Well, I should probably get to class.
It was nice to finally meet you, Zoe.
You, too.
You guys have fun tonight.
Oh, yeah. I might have accidentally suggested
that we were hanging out tonight.
Thanks for dragging me into this.
(SIGHS)
Okay. Nice!
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Hi, Ben. - Hey.
- You busy? I can come back if... - No.
Come on in.
I gotta ask. Are you avoiding me?
I thought you wanted me to avoid you.
No. That's not what I said.
I just wanted to slow things down.
I guess I'm not clear on the definition of "slow things down."
It just means...
That we're not together anymore.
Am I wrong?
- Ben... - It's okay.
I got it.
I just kind of wish we could go back to the way things were before.
You know, when I could stop by and hang out in your office
and it wouldn't be too weird.
Let's be honest, it was always a little weird
when you would stop in to see me.
But in a good way.
Hey, so...
I don't know if this would be too weird,
but we're having a surprise birthday party for Jane
tonight at The Rack,
and if you wanted to swing by, that would be...
that would be cool.
For Jane, you know. She'd like that.
Sure. Sounds like fun.
Great.
Oh, yeah, and if you happen to run into Jane today,
we're all pretending like we forgot her birthday.
That sounds like an awful idea.
No. It's just phase one of the surprise.
Phase what?
It's not even remotely funny.
Well, I disagree.
I'm not doing it to be funny. Jane needs this.
She's been working so hard.
And every year I do something big for her birthday.
And she kind of expects it now.
But I want this year to be the biggest birthday yet.
You know, so, a surprise.
Obviously your intentions are good here, Ben.
But I just worry that she has to go through the whole day
thinking that everyone has...
Ben, are you okay?
What is it?
It's a birthday card for Jane.
Who's it from?
It's from our mom.
Good afternoon, Jeremy.
India.
Isn't it a beautiful day outside?
- I wouldn't know. - That's because you work too hard.
You should take more breaks.
Why? The sooner I finish this, the sooner you'll go away.
This collaboration is the only reason you're here.
But we both know this collaboration is not the only reason I'm here.
So, what's Gray been up to?
I haven't been paying attention.
- Wrong answer. - Fine.
She had a meeting this morning, now she's back.
That's all I know.
A meeting with whom?
I have no idea. Nor do I care.
Oh. Well, then maybe we should just go talk to Gray. Get it over with.
Your career has to end someday, right? Why not today.
I'll let you tell her the part about you and Beau.
Shh!
I have no access to Gray's calendar, India.
Sounds like you have a task!
- Here you go. - Thanks.
And how would you suggest I gain access to her calendar?
Well, first you'll need the password to her computer.
Two options there. You can either get it from Gray,
or the only other person who knows it. Jane.
- Isn't this fun? - I don't want to do this.
That's why it's fun.
Get to work.
Hey, Coach.
Any last minute advice?
- What? - Advice? A pep talk?
Anything.
Sorry.
You've been through this before.
What did your coach say to you?
He walked up to me. He handed me the ball.
And he said, "Don't blow it, Quimby."
(CHUCKLES) Not exactly a pep talk.
Maybe not. But he knew how important the moment was.
Look, the scout's not here to watch you do anything
that you don't do every day in practice.
Most people never get an opportunity like this.
So don't blow it, Fadden.
Whoo!
All right. I think I've seen enough.
Nice job, Nick. You've got some heat.
Thanks.
(GRUNTS)
Wow. These look amazing.
I'm busy, Jane.
Okay. Sorry to bother you.
No, wait, I'm sorry.
I'm just a bit overwhelmed, that's all.
It's okay. I understand.
You are taking on a lot of responsibility.
And you're doing a great job.
In case nobody's told you that lately.
Thank you.
Don't let it go to your head.
I'll try not to. (CHUCKLES)
It's time for me to go assist the boss.
It must be difficult keeping track of all of Gray's appointments.
Oh, it's not that bad.
I mean, her calendar definitely keeps me busy,
but it's part of the job. Right?
Yeah, yeah. Would you like some help?
With what? Gray's schedule?
Yeah. I'm happy to lend a hand.
Jeremy, you are overseeing the most important collection
that Donovan Decker has had in years.
I'm pretty sure your energy and focus should be on that.
(LAUGHS) I suppose you're right.
But it was very nice of you to offer.
What is Birdie doing down here?
I haven't seen her for weeks.
Must mean someone's getting hired.
Or getting fired.
STEVE: Hey, you were right. Kid's got good stuff.
Kinda reminds me of you when you pitched on this mound.
That was a long time ago.
Not that long.
You got anything left in the tank?
Not that I know of.
Well, let's find out.
I left all that behind. Remember?
I do. And I remember why you did it.
There's no use hanging on to the past.
- Sure there is. - Why?
Because it was your dream. And you loved it.
Come on.
One pitch.
- Come on, Coach. - All right.
- Fire in the hole. - Yeah.
Ben, where did that come from?
One pitch.
Have I told you how much I love your new office, Gray?
Yes, you have.
Right. Forgot. It's great.
Thank you.
Oh, and I wanted to thank you for going a full two weeks
without a single termination.
It's a new record.
Since you took over.
Although it has made my job a little boring lately.
I'll see what I can do about that.
Oh, don't go firing anyone just to keep me busy.
Unless you really want to.
Kidding. Or not. Up to you.
Ha!
So are we finished here?
No, that was just small talk.
Which I promise to avoid in the future.
Anyway, I was updating our employee files,
and I came across a piece of information
I think you should see.
This is Jane's file.
Yes. I circled a discrepancy.
Are you sure this is correct?
As far as I know. Yes.
That little liar.
Can I help you, Jane?
Uh, is that my...?
Oh. Uh...
is everything okay? I saw Birdie come in here
and it looked sort of serious.
And it's probably none of my business.
Correct.
Right.
So you said you had some things that you needed me to do today.
I changed my mind.
You changed your mind about...?
I don't need you.
But who's gonna answer your phones?
I'll do it myself.
That'll be all.
Move!
Sorry.
Hello, Jeremy. Checking in.
What've you got for me?
India, I really do have a lot of actual work to do.
Oh, you mean the work that I was hired to critique and approve?
Let's see.
Don't care.
Really don't care.
This one's okay.
Still don't care.
Thanks for the morale boost.
I'm assuming that you didn't get the password to Gray's computer.
- I tried. - Try harder.
Passwords are secret for a reason, India.
It's not as if I can just request it in a casual conversation with Jane.
Oh! You're terrible at this.
I'll take that as a compliment.
The clock is ticking, Jeremy.
- It is? - Yes.
Obviously it's ticking.
Since when?
Since the moment I told you I needed Gray's calendar.
In my defense, this is the first I'm hearing about an actual deadline.
Do you think this is funny?
No.
Maybe I wasn't clear before.
You, Jeremy, need to do what I tell you, when I tell you,
or I will see to it that your entire life is ruined.
How's that for an actual deadline?
Mind if I join you?
Go for it.
So how are you today?
You know when you get the feeling
that something bad is about to happen to you?
Is something bad about to happen to me?
No. Not you.
Forget it.
I know this might sound paranoid.
But something's up. I think I'm about to get fired.
Why would you get fired?
Because I haven't been completely honest here.
I feel like a fraud, and I'm just waiting for everybody to figure it out.
Well, we all feel like that sometimes.
You have no idea.
And to top it all off, it is my birthday.
That's a good thing. Right?
Not when everyone forgot about it.
Ouch. Really?
- Yeah. - Oh, no.
Well, I got an idea.
I got to run some errands. And I was thinking that you could come with me.
I can't just leave.
I already cleared it with Gray.
I really don't think it's a good idea to be running errands.
Because my career is imploding.
Yeah. Well, if that's true,
then it's probably better to be outside of the blast radius.
I said imploding, not exploding.
But you make a decent point.
So let me just go get my phone.
No, you don't need your phone. You need to clear your head. All right?
Come on. We'll be back before you know it.
(BELL RINGING)
Hey, Ben.
Hi.
I heard Nick Fadden really put on a show for that scout today.
He did. I'm proud of him.
So if you don't mind me asking,
how did Jane react to getting a card from your mom?
I decided not to give it to her.
Ben, don't you think you're taking this birthday surprise too far?
It's not about that.
She, um... she can't...
she can't just send a card after all these years.
She doesn't get to do that.
It's too late. She's just...
she's too late.
Do you really think that you should get to decide that for Jane?
Actually, yes. I do get to decide that for her.
It's my decision because our mom gave me that power
when she abandoned us.
And I'd appreciate it if you'd support that decision.
Password, password, password.
If I were Gray's password, where would I be?
Not in here. Not under here.
No, not in here.
Can I help you, Jeremy?
Oh, hello, Gray. I was just looking for you. Actually.
Under my desk?
No. While I was waiting for you, I was just admiring it.
It's quite elegant.
Solid construction. Sleek design.
Who makes this?
- Who cares? - Not me.
I'm glad you're here.
- You are? - Yes.
- What've you got for me? - I'm sorry?
I'm talking about India.
I gave you a specific assignment.
Get close to India. Very close.
Find out what she's up to. Remember?
Yes. Yes. Of course I remember.
Well, have you had success?
Define success.
Useful information. Do you have any?
(MOUTHING)
Not yet.
Oh. Then get to work.
Admit it. That's the best thing you've ever eaten. Right?
No. Not even close.
You know the secret? It's the stick.
It apparently gives the meat its delicious flavor.
I don't think so.
I don't know. I've actually never had one of those things.
What?
It's meat on a stick. It's disgusting. Who eats that?
I mean, frankly I'm a little disappointed in you.
You're a little bit annoying.
Oh, just trust me. I can be so annoying if you give me a chance.
I might.
So where are we going next?
Let's go ice skating at Rockefeller Center.
It's not exactly ice skating weather.
You're right. It feels a little warm, doesn't it?
Okay. Come here.
Looks good.
Right? (LAUGHS)
No. No.
Right? (LAUGHING)
Hey!
- Eli, what's up? - How's it going?
- Good to see you. - Jane. Chris Benz.
Jane. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I know who you are. You're the prince of color.
Well, good to see you. I got to run.
Very nice to meet you.
Does it look like me?
Don't talk. You're gonna ruin it.
But yeah, it looks exactly like you.
Phase two. The big surprise.
You got it. What do you think?
I like it. It's clean. Simple.
I'm not really sure it's clear whose birthday it is though.
(LAUGHS) Too much?
It's really uneven.
Okay. In that case, grab the other end.
Just a little lower.
Yeah. Right there.
Much better.
Thank you.
Here's your decoy gift.
Yeah. I'm sorry I put you in that position with Jane.
It wasn't cool.
I mean, you guys just met and everything.
It's all right.
The decoy date part was a little much. But I'm over it.
- Good to know. - So,
do you think she's gonna like all this?
(SIGHS)
I hope so.
To be honest, I really just wanna get this over with.
Things have been different since I got back to school.
Jane and I were just finally starting to get back on track.
You two are pretty close, huh?
Yeah. About as close as you can be.
Were you two ever... you know?
No. No. We're just best friends.
Oh.
Just wondering.
Hey, do you think that you can give me a ride home tonight after the party?
If not it's totally cool.
No. It's cool. I'd like that.
Me, too.
(LAUGHING) This looks nothing like me.
Well then, you shouldn't have been talking.
You think me talking made my chin three times too big?
We're never gonna know, are we?
Thank you for this.
You're welcome.
So nobody remembered your birthday, huh?
It's okay. I think everybody's just really busy.
There's a lot going on.
My brother's going through a breakup,
and my best friend just met a girl.
Is this the same best friend you rushed off to meet the other night?
Yes. That is the one.
Sounds like he's more than a friend.
No.
I mean, he'll always be more than a friend.
But sometimes the timing just isn't right.
Close your eyes.
I'd rather not.
Just do it.
Hey, man. Let me get this balloon.
Yeah.
Here you go.
Okay. Open 'em.
(LAUGHS) What's this?
It's a balloon on a string.
- Okay. - It's the best I could do on short notice.
Thank you, Eli.
Happy birthday, Jane.
Where is everyone?
I don't know.
Maybe everyone went home for the day.
ALL: Surprise!
I guess not everyone forgot about your birthday.
Thank you.
- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.
Thank you, guys.
Oh, you should've seen your face.
Priceless.
You seriously had no idea?
- Be honest. - No idea.
And if I'm being honest, I thought I was being fired.
Why would you be fired?
I don't know. I guess I was being a little...
Paranoid?
Yes. I was being paranoid.
Well, Eli was a rock star today.
Oh, he was?
Carter texted him like eight times to keep you away from the office.
It wasn't easy.
We actually ended up getting one of those little caricature things just to kill time.
Well, good work, Eli.
So you were just stalling this whole time?
Yeah. You know, it's not easy to plan a whole fake date on the fly.
Well, you made it look easy.
Thanks.
WOMAN: Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Dude, where is Jane?
She's on her way.
She said that?
Not in those exact words.
Okay. You can't get a hold of her.
I can get a hold of her easily.
I just haven't yet.
I texted her. I'm waiting to hear back.
How many texts?
- Seven. - Wow!
Phase two of the plan is officially unraveling.
There's no need to panic.
Who are all these people?
I don't know. Jane's friends?
Harper invited most of them.
Who invited Harper?
I did.
I wanted to fill the room.
Okay, everyone!
Everyone, when I say hide,
everyone should hide.
And then when Jane comes in the door, yell "surprise" really loud.
- Got it? NICK: - Thanks, Harper.
But I think we've all been to a surprise party before.
No, I saw a few nerds here. I'm just trying to keep them in the loop.
Very thoughtful of you.
Thanks. I thought so, too.
Okay. Any questions?
Yes, Caitlyn.
Whose birthday party is this?
It's Jane's.
Yes, Caitlyn, again.
Who's Jane?
It doesn't matter! It's a party. Don't make me regret inviting you.
She's here! This is it!
She's here! Everyone hide.
And don't forget to yell out "surprise" when she comes in.
ALL: Surprise!
It's not her!
Everyone. That is not Jane. It's Lulu.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Harper invited me.
But you don't even like Jane.
True, but I had a feeling you'd sneak away to her party.
Looks like I was right.
I didn't sneak away to anything.
You didn't tell me you were coming.
That's because I found out about it after school.
Coach Quimby invited me.
Why can't you just admit you didn't want me here?
I don't really care if...
You know what?
Maybe we should just leave before Jane gets here.
I don't wanna ruin her party.
No. You can leave if you want.
I think I'm gonna stay for a while.
Okay.
What the hell is going on here?
Birthday party for Jane.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, no. She's gonna think I got all dressed up for her.
What's the matter, India?
Gray never threw you a party when you were her assistant?
(SCOFFS) Didn't think so.
Feeling like an outsider yet?
You should be. You are an outsider now.
Gray's nephew is the new teacher's pet.
So whether you like it or not,
you and I are in this together, Jeremy.
I need another drink.
Oh!
Hey, did I miss the big surprise?
No. Jane's not here yet.
- Uh-oh. - Yeah.
Things are not going as smoothly as I'd hoped.
Shocker.
I guess I deserve that.
I wasn't sure you were gonna show up.
I told you I was coming.
Yeah, but I was kind of a jerk to you earlier.
I'm sorry.
I think I kind of have a short fuse when it comes to my mom.
It's okay. I understand.
It was really none of my business anyway.
Well, I'm glad you're here.
Me, too.
I miss you.
Everybody hide! This time it's really her!
Good timing.
ALL: Surprise!
Oh.
Everyone. Another false alarm!
This is not Jane.
I have no idea who these women are,
or what they are doing here.
Wait a minute. Is that...
Amanda Clark.
Wow!
Ben!
Who's the babe?
She was our prom queen.
Every girl wanted to be her, and every boy was in love with her.
Including Ben?
Looks like it.
So, Jeremy, did you know about this?
What?
About the surprise party.
I found out moments before you came back.
Happy birthday, Jane.
Thanks.
How was your afternoon with Gray's niece?
(LAUGHS) Nephew. And you can call him Eli.
No, thanks. He got the job because he's Gray's nephew,
so I'll call him Gray's nephew.
Maybe you should give him a chance.
I don't have to give him a chance!
Jeremy. I think you've had enough to drink.
So do I.
What does it matter, India? You gonna blackmail me some more?
What is he talking about?
Nothing. He's drunk. Jeremy, come on, come with me.
Where we going?
Don't you want to get the password?
You need to pull it together.
I'm tired of your threats.
Oh, you think I'm bluffing?
'Cause I will go tell Gray the truth.
Do it.
What?
Go get Gray. Let's get this over with. I'm ready to confess.
- Jeremy... - Go get her, India.
Go get Gray.
Okay. Fine. Fine. I'll go get her.
But before I do, there's something I need to tell you.
Over here.
What is over here?
Let me out of here.
(BANGING ON DOOR) It's dark.
Not until you sober up and snap out of it.
(GIRL LAUGHING)
So is that like Billy's new girlfriend?
I have no idea. Who cares?
I don't care.
Then why bring it up?
I was just wondering who Billy's next victim is.
Now you know.
You know, I'm still waiting on you to ask me how today went.
How what went?
I told you that a major league scout was coming to watch me pitch today.
Right... Wait. What?
Maybe if you stopped looking over at Billy
you'd be able to follow along.
What do you want me to say?
Nothing.
This conversation's over. And so are we.
Fine by me.
Hi. Just so you know, whoever you are.
This little thing here with Billy, it isn't gonna work out.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Lulu, stop.
No matter what he says to you,
you should know he's in love with his best friend.
And that's never gonna change.
Good luck.
Jane. It's me again. Please call me back. It's important.
Hello, Ben. Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah. Nothing to worry about.
So what's going on here?
Amanda was just telling me about her career in Hollywood.
I always knew you were gonna make it big.
Well, I just filmed an episode of CSI. Not to brag.
That's huge. I love that show.
I actually saw that episode. Didn't you play a corpse?
Yes. And not just any corpse. An opening scene corpse.
That's so cool.
It's gotta be really hard to stay still for that long.
Yeah, it is.
And they don't teach that in acting school,
so I had to really rely on my natural instincts.
You must be really talented.
Thank you, Ben. You're so sweet.
So what are you doing here, Amanda?
Well, I just moved back to town,
and I remembered that this place literally has the best wings on the planet.
RITA: Literally?
So you've tried every single wing on the planet?
They are delicious.
They're so delicious.
I love this place. Everybody used to come here in high school.
Not everybody. I didn't.
Oh no, no. I meant everyone that went to our high school.
Yes. Our high school.
Wait. What? You went to school with us?
Yes, Amanda. We've been sitting here
reminiscing about high school for almost an hour.
Oh. Okay. I thought you were like just chiming in.
I honestly thought it was really weird.
Wait. Who were you?
I was and still am Rita Shaw.
Rita Shaw. Rita Shaw.
(MUTTERS) No, please. No, please. No, please.
Oh, wait a minute.
Head gear? Oh. My. God.
Oh, no. (LAUGHS)
Shaw the Jaw!
You know what? I'm gonna go get Jane and bring her back here.
Jaw, how are you?
Oh! No, is see it now.
Boom! Paying attention?
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Look, I'm sorry about that whole Lulu thing.
I thought you said you and Jane were just friends.
- We are just friends. - Oh, yeah?
Your ex-girlfriend seems to disagree.
Yeah. That's why there's an ex in front of girlfriend.
What's her deal anyway?
Lulu? She's just a rich girl.
People like that, they're not like us.
I knew we came from two different worlds.
I won't make that mistake again.
Hey, guys. I just wanted to apologize about Lulu's meltdown earlier.
I hope it didn't ruin your night.
I'll see you around.
Wait. Hey, Fadden.
Wanna play a game of pool before you leave?
Yeah. Rack 'em.
Make a wish.
Okay.
GRAY: Before you blow out your candles, Jane,
can I ask you a question?
Of course.
How many candles should be on your cake?
Oh. Um, 23?
We know you're lying about your age, Jane.
You do?
I saw your driver's license with your real age in your file.
You're not 23.
You're 25.
And far too young to be shaving off years.
Caught me.
Dude, I remember you being better at this.
You trying to hustle me again?
I wish. I think I did something to my arm today.
Oh, yeah. You had that scout come watch you pitch, right?
- How'd it go? - It was going great,
and then there was a pop in my shoulder.
What kind of pop?
The kind your shoulder's not supposed to make.
I'm sure it's fine, man.
Yeah. I hope you're right.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you.
Hey.
Still the worst day ever?
Far from it. And I guess I owe a lot of that to you.
I had fun hanging out today.
And I was wondering if we could do it again sometime.
I mean, if you want.
I'm still down to go ice skating when it gets a little colder.
Just to be clear. Are you asking me on another fake date?
You think I...
Come here.
You don't have to explain anything.
Yes, I do.
Jane.
I'll admit that today started out as fake or whatever.
But you should know that I volunteered.
I wanted to go.
And I had fun hanging out.
I didn't want it to end.
And...
I wanna do it again.
Was that fake?
No.
That was very real.
Think about it.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
JEREMY: If you two are done, can you let me out of here?
Jeremy?
What are you doing in here? Are you okay?
No, Jane. I'm not okay.
Talk to me. Tell me what's wrong.
I don't know how to tell you this.
It was me all along.
What are you talking about?
It wasn't India. It was me.
I gave our secrets to Beau.
Look, I'm so, so...
Looks like this night was a huge success.
Yeah, thank you.
Oh, I'm not talking about for you.
I finally realize this night was never about you.
What are you talking about, India?
Tonight was all about Gray. As usual.
You see that guy over there.
He's a reporter writing a puff piece on Gray.
And this party she's throwing her lowly assistant is
gonna make her look like the boss of the year.
Mmm. You know Gray. All about the spin.
Oh, and lying about your age,
a little pathetic.
Can I tell you a secret?
I don't know if we're ready for secrets.
I had the biggest crush on Ben Quimby
when we were in high school.
Oh. That's good to know.
What about you?
What about me?
Who did you have a crush on?
You know, I can't remember.
Don't you think Ben is even cuter now
than he was when we were in high school?
I haven't thought about it.
Do you know if he has a girlfriend?
Actually, I...
He doesn't have a girlfriend.
Huh. Lucky me. Hmm?

You forgot my birthday.
No, Jane. I didn't forget.
But I did make a terrible mistake.
I wanted to surprise you, and it backfired.
Hugely.
I'm really sorry.
I hate surprises.
You love surprises.
Oh.
Not anymore.
For what it's worth, there is a party,
albeit much sadder and not nearly as nice, at The Rack.
Really?
There are people there who love you
and some who may or may not be your friends
who would love to wish you a happy birthday.
Before it's too late.
I think I'm ready to go.
Before we go,
there's something I should've given you this morning.
Aww, Ben. You got me a card?
It's not from me.
It's from Mom.
You're not gonna open it?
Today has been hard enough.
- Let's get some chicken wings. - All right.
Is this it?
Yeah. Right here is good.
Oh, look. I'm sorry again about Lulu.
- It's okay. - No. No, it's not okay.
You didn't deserve that.
People like us shouldn't date people like them.
I learned my lesson the hard way.
I'll remember that.
Anyway, thanks for the ride.
Wait, I'll walk you to your door.
It's okay. My dad's inside waiting for me.
- Okay. - Bye.
