  • [keyboard strokes]

  • Anything yet?

  • So far, nada. You?

  • Grace Ho's social media presence is so puritan.

  • Every photo is of her holding a miniature rug.

  • [laughs] Ugh, she's so squeaky clean.

  • Is that good? Bad?

  • It's ideal.

  • It's like opening a fresh can of Play-Doh.

  • [snickers]

  • Oh, got something.

  • [Chadwick on video] Come on in, Jayne. Sit down.

  • That's Y.

  • [Chadwick on video] I'm sorry, the other chair.

  • [Jayne on video] Okay.

  • [Chadwick on video] Yeah. That's better.

  • Chadwick, you sick pup!

  • [Chadwick] Your grades dipped last quarter.

  • - Something going on at home? -[Jayne] Yes, sir. I...

  • I can't watch this, okay?

  • But there are hundreds of files here.

  • Chadwick must have up-skirted half the school.

  • You know, we have to get these files off of his laptop

  • before your mom finds them.

  • What difference does it make if she sees them?

  • This guy is despicable.

  • Yeah, well, karma already got this scumbag.

  • His wife and his kids don't need the embarrassment.

  • [groans]

  • We, however, need these files.

  • You mean, we need to delete them, right?

  • These are all kinds of wrong.

  • I know they are, but do you realize what we have here?

  • [Jayne] He left for Afghanistan like a year ago...

  • - Uh-huh. - And we haven't heard...

  • We have confidential information

  • on half of the school.

  • Transfer the files to The Crotch drive.

  • Okay.

  • [♪]

  • In a manner of speaking

  • ♪ I don't think we'll be speaking

  • At all

  • Something in here is different.

  • Moved your father's boxes out

  • into the garage this morning.

  • He can pick them up whenever I'm not around.

  • How was Chadwick's vigil?

  • Faux.

  • Hmm. Happens sometimes. You okay?

  • Yeah, there's just, um, a lot going on.

  • How about some gin?

  • Might help.

  • Nah, you got a winnable game going.

  • Sit down. I'll deal.

  • [chuckles]

  • So, have you seen Stacey's new nose?

  • Looks fantastic!

  • Where do you run into her?

  • Facebook.

  • We play Scrabulous sometimes.

  • Hmm.

  • She's very good.

  • You know what? Um...

  • I'm tired. I think I'm just gonna head up.

  • Night, Mom.

  • [phone pings]

  • [phone pings]

  • [♪]

  • What's with the overnight bag? And where's Hurley?

  • She's having a moment. And I'm not into Ilo anymore.

  • We need to change direction.

  • Is this because of your thing with Stacey?

  • - 'Cause that's not-- - No.

  • It's because I don't trust Ilo.

  • I can't take him at his word.

  • Look, I'll back whoever you want,

  • but voting for Hope now would be kind of a wasted vote.

  • We're not backing her, either.

  • Who are we backing?

  • What do you guys know about Grace Ho?

  • - Who? - Grace Ho.

  • That her name is an oxymoron?

  • That she looks like a lollipop?

  • Oh my God! She has a Tumblr page about latch-hooking.

  • Who is this chick?

  • She's our third-party candidate.

  • You've got to be kidding me!

  • The student council makes some decisions

  • that we may want a say in.

  • We need to have the president in our pocket.

  • The election is tomorrow.

  • What do you need us to do?

  • First thing, find the Ho.

  • [school bell rings]

  • [♪]

  • Have you seen this girl? Her name is Grace Ho.

  • -I haven't. Sorry. -Thank you.

  • Do you guys know who this girl is?

  • No. Okay, umm...

  • Have either of you ladies seen this girl, Grace Ho?

  • Grace Ho!

  • No. Okay. [sighs]

  • Do you know-- Okay!

  • Hey, guys. Guys! Do you know who Grace Ho is?

  • - No. - Nobody?

  • Of course not. Do you know this Ho?

  • Does a--does anyone know this Ho?

  • Anyone. Please!

  • Hi. Do you know her?

  • Please say yes.

  • No.

  • [♪]

  • - Grace Ho? - [bell dings]

  • You know my name?

  • - [texting] - How would you feel

  • about being president of the school?

  • - Is that an option? - It is now.

  • You have fabulous skin.

  • Thank you?

  • Do you know who I am?

  • Hmm, it's actually not that flat.

  • We can work with this.

  • - Hmm. - Good cookies.

  • Thank you. I used extra butter.

  • - Focus here, Grace Ho. - Sorry.

  • Where do you want to go to college?

  • Any of the Ivies.

  • And how do you think

  • student body president would look on your app?

  • It...would be ideal. [laughs]

  • Excellent.

  • Well, then I have one more question for you, candidate Ho.

  • It concerns Mr. Chadwick's former office.

  • [♪]

  • - [meow] - Oh, really?

  • Uh, I don't get it. Why don't you just run?

  • You'd win.

  • [laughter]

  • She has way too much on her plate.

  • Jacket.

  • Oh. Look, it's reversible.

  • - Way worse. Thank you. - Hands up.

  • Oh.

  • - Ohh! - Uh, what is this thing?

  • - It's a sports bra. - I know. Why are you wearing it?

  • I'm on the field hockey team.

  • Yes, after school.

  • During the day, these are assets.

  • - Well, I'm not really... - Just turn around.

  • - Okay. - Look, I know

  • the whole tits thing undermines everything girl power and feminist,

  • but biologically, boys are simple animals,

  • and this bra alone

  • will secure you 100-plus simple animal votes.

  • Remember, the key is getting power first.

  • Then when you're on top, you can make change happen.

  • Everything's better on top.

  • You're doing great.

  • Oh, oh? What about my speech?

  • I'll take care of that later.

  • What I need from you now is to hang out with us.

  • Uh, I can do that.

  • Okay then. Here's the plan.

  • [meow]

  • [♪]

  • No!

  • [♪]

  • Unh-unh.

  • [All] Ah!

  • [♪]

  • You will walk with us, not behind us.

  • And concentrate on your posture, your back always slightly arched.

  • It's going to feel like you're jutting out your chest, because you are.

  • - Simple animal votes. - Exactly.

  • You are never to walk these halls alone. Can you do that?

  • I guess.

  • You don't guess anymore, Grace Ho.

  • You know. You always know.

  • After each of your classes, one of us will be waiting for you.

  • - What do you have next? - Uh, Latin.

  • And where does Latin take place, other than nowhere?

  • C Hall, 202.

  • I'm in 211. I got her.

  • Blast the Ho.

  • All Ho, all day.

  • - Keep breathing. You're doing great. - Breathe.

  • You are to always laugh at our jokes, even if you don't get them.

  • Never let the people know that you're not in on the joke.

  • It is they who are not in on the joke.

  • [laughter]

  • Oh, did you guys see? I actually made The Crotch today!

  • All right. Don't get a she-boner over it.

  • Act like you've been there before.

  • - I assume my deal with Farrah is off? - [snickers]

  • Never even heard of Grace Ho.

  • - Where'd they find her? - [ ding ]

  • I think they made her in a lab.

  • This is bad for me.

  • I'm gonna try and make a deal with the band.

  • - I may need the votes. - What are you gonna offer them?

  • Same thing Hope offered them, Chadwick's office.

  • - Okay. - [bell rings]

  • [♪]

  • [humming]

  • [sighs]

  • What are you doing?

  • Oh, I thought I'd do a cookie giveaway during lunch,

  • like Ilo did with the water.

  • Are your cookies made with weed?

  • Uh, what?

  • Ilo's water was half vodka. It was a stunt.

  • Oh. That's a good idea.

  • Well, people still like cookies, right?

  • Sure. Keep making them if you want.

  • Oh, you know, I had some time in study hall,

  • so I worked out a few talking points for my speech.

  • Here.

  • [♪]

  • You made me do it, Hope.

  • I offered you a deal.

  • Did you have something to do with that--

  • I don't suppose there's any chance

  • that you know how to play bridge, is there?

  • I play with my nana.

  • Also mahjongg.

  • [sighs] You're perfect! Come on.

  • Your jacket.

  • Of course you're going back for a cookie.

  • You still have your apron on.

  • [bell rings]

  • Shouldn't we be in class?

  • We're fine.

  • Huh. Another trick for the Ho.

  • No, that did not sound right.

  • [giggles] You're like a bridge savant.

  • I love strategy games. You guys ever play Dominion?

  • It's this game where you have to amass assets

  • until you build the most powerful kingdom

  • before your opponents do.

  • Never heard of it.

  • In what order do you give your speech?

  • Um, my choice. I won the coin toss.

  • Fantastic. You're the closer.

  • It's the power position.

  • [Grace] Bridge is cool, too.

  • I always see you guys over here playing every day.

  • I just never thought

  • I'd actually ever be here playing with you. [laughs]

  • Y-You're taking out my bio and credentials?

  • Don't you think everybody should know

  • all the stuff I've been involved in here?

  • Like what? Your baking proficiency?

  • No. It's better that you're a mystery to them.

  • Think of yourself as the new kid in school.

  • I've been here for ten years.

  • But today's the first day you're relevant.

  • No offense.

  • Dominating win for Hurley-Ho.

  • All right, 30, 70, 100, 130... 340.

  • Can I make a gameplay suggestion?

  • Don't come out too strong.

  • Say you have a queen and an ace of spades--

  • I am shortening this snooze-fest

  • in the middle by half.

  • Actually, by a whole. It's gone.

  • That pretty much leaves me saying hello and then goodbye.

  • I lost the goodbye, too. We need a stronger closer.

  • Going last means you control the walk-away.

  • When they exit the auditorium,

  • Grace Ho needs to be the only name

  • that they remember.

  • How do I accomplish that?

  • We need a hook.

  • I'll go find him.

  • I don't want to sound skeptical,

  • but don't you think I should say something of substance?

  • I mean, you're the one who said that Ilo's already cut deals

  • with half the factions in school.

  • Okay. Look, these circles represent

  • the voting blocs in the school.

  • Now the vote is tomorrow,

  • and Ilo already has most of the blocs,

  • but that doesn't mean that we're done yet.

  • What do we do?

  • We fracture the groups

  • and regroup them into one larger voting bloc.

  • Women.

  • Fifty-four percent of the school is female--

  • girls who are dying to be seen and heard.

  • By tomorrow, you'll have a speech

  • that speaks directly to them.

  • I'll get it to you in the morning

  • so you can practice with it.

  • And until then, the Janes and Hurley

  • will stay by your side all through dinner.

  • Be seen. As much as possible.

  • Got it?

  • This is an awful speech.

  • - My mom edited it. - No. No, no, no.

  • - [Man on video] I would advise looking at some better schools. - Wow!

  • Are you aware that Debjit Cheema got a 1530 on the SATs?

  • What? But he's a moron!

  • Yeah.

  • How's the speech coming?

  • Actually, I think I'm done.

  • Nice!

  • Um...

  • do you wanna maybe hang out a little?

  • - Why? - I don't know,

  • but you could tell me how you figured out

  • that I was the one behind The Crotch curtain.

  • Or you could tell me

  • who you inherited The Crotch curtain from.

  • How about just hanging out

  • because it's better than going back to your house right now?

  • Hmm?

  • Okay.

  • Um, do you wanna listen to some music?

  • Sure.

  • [rock music playing on phone]

  • Who is this?

  • Just hold still for once, okay? Listen.

  • This band could literally change your life.

  • [music playing]

  • Wait. Wait.

  • So, is it over, officially?

  • Is what over officially?

  • Your dad. Is he gone gone?

  • I'm not posting a story about it.

  • I wouldn't do that to you.

  • Yeah, because I could out you.

  • No, because I wouldn't do that to you.

  • And I actually care what you think of me.

  • What is that supposed to mean?

  • Well, I've seen your shave, and yet, at school,

  • you treat me like I'm invisible, just like everybody else.

  • Yeah, which is me protecting us.

  • Is it?

  • My dad's stuff is in boxes. In the garage.

  • Which it turns out is easier

  • than seeing it piled up in the dining room.

  • What do you mean?

  • I mean, it's easier not to see all of that

  • when I'm sitting at the table

  • where we used to have family dinners.

  • Sorry. I should've gotten that.

  • I'm just so angry at him.

  • I mean, not because of what he did to my family.

  • I mean, that's obvious.

  • I'm just angry because while he's out there

  • doing whatever with whoever,

  • I'm stuck being my mom's only source of entertainment.

  • I mean, other than Stacey Moorehead

  • and her fabulous Scrabulous skills,

  • which I cannot even deal with.

  • Well, I get that.

  • I have, uh, been my mom's only source of entertainment since,

  • - you know... - Yeah.

  • It's exhausting.

  • [music continues]

  • This is actually kind of a good song.

  • Yeah? And in English, too.

  • What is with you and like, the French music?

  • Oh, no, no. You've gotten enough out of me today.

  • Okay.

  • Okay.

  • [♪]

  • - Less smoky, more trustworthy. - Gotcha.

  • - How ya feelin'? - Scared.

  • - You're gonna do great. - Thanks.

  • You got this, Hook?

  • As long as she keeps her end up, I'll make it happen.

  • - Grace? - Yeah, of course. I'm in.

  • Do you think anyone will really connect with this part?

  • They all will.

  • [bell rings]

  • All right, guys. Election assembly after lunch.

  • Until then the plan is the same as yesterday.

  • Y, you've got her homeroom and first period.

  • I got her second and third.

  • Hey, you've got this. Okay?

  • Are you sure?

  • Just remember to connect with the emotion in this speech.

  • Got me?

  • I will catch up with you later.

  • Hey, Lynn. Are you ready for the uh, big vote today?

  • It doesn't really matter who's president.

  • My year doesn't change.

  • I mean, you don't know that.

  • The student president controls a five-figure event budget,

  • - they have a seat-- - It's just a popularity contest

  • where the winner chooses the theme for prom.

  • [sighs] I mean, if you feel that way,

  • then this is your chance to prevent

  • another Under the Sea debacle.

  • It was so loud last year, too. Right?

  • I couldn't tell from the pictures.

  • Oh.

  • Well, I can understand how you saw the theme

  • and chose to sit that one out.

  • You made the right choice.

  • You don't have to do that.

  • We both know nobody asked me.

  • Like I said, my year doesn't change either way.

  • No, I-- I didn't--

  • Vote for Grace.

  • [whistle blows]

  • [♪]

  • In closing, you can vote for any candidate you want,

  • but really think about what they stand for.

  • And what you know about 'em.

  • I mean, come on. Who's Grace Ho, really?

  • - [laughter] - Look...

  • in the end, you have to vote for a known quantity,

  • and that's me.

  • Vote for Ilo!

  • [cheers and applause]

  • [cheers continue]

  • [booing]

  • I've had a speech prepared for this moment

  • - since I was 9 years old... - [Boy] Nobody wants you here!

  • but now, not so much.

  • I...wasn't even going to show up here today,

  • but I realized that I'll never have the opportunity

  • to apologize to all of you at once.

  • Here goes.

  • I am truly sorry if I hurt anyone with what I said.

  • I want you to know that I understand

  • that what I said is wrong...

  • and that I have a problem.

  • So, I have taken it upon myself

  • to enroll in sensitivity classes.

  • [derisive laughter]

  • And I intend to prove to you all that I was, am,

  • and will be a worthy candidate.

  • - [booing] - Thank you.

  • [shouting] Grace Ho!

  • [Grace clears throat]

  • [microphone feeds back]

  • I'm gonna make this short and sweet

  • because I know how uncomfortable those chairs are.

  • What is she doing? Back on point, Ho.

  • [clears throat]

  • Candidate Ilo stood here a few moments ago

  • and said that you all don't know me,

  • but I think he's wrong.

  • You do know me.

  • Look, if you want to vote for some guy

  • because he has great eyes and abs,

  • then go ahead.

  • But don't be surprised if after you fall for him,

  • he asks you to park in his garage

  • so that his friends don't see your car parked at his house.

  • [people murmuring]

  • At least with me, you know what you're getting...

  • because...

  • I'm you...

  • and you... and you.

  • I'm a girl who comes in every day

  • hoping that today's the day that someone notices me.

  • I'm a girl who wants a cool event

  • to go to on the weekends

  • because I want at least one cool story

  • to tell people when I go to college.

  • I'm a girl who wants a high school experience

  • like you see on TV

  • where I flirt with a cute guy and make out on the swing set.

  • I'm you.

  • Even if you didn't recognize me until yesterday.

  • So, if every one of you drop a check in the Grace Ho box,

  • then we win, not me.

  • We.

  • [shouting] Grace! Ho!

  • Grace! Ho!

  • Grace! Ho!

  • [chanting continues]

  • [electrical static]

  • [music plays]

  • [both] Whoo!

  • A landslide. You did it.

  • Yeah we did.

  • [loudly] Later, Colin!

  • Bye, Farrah.

  • [bell rings]

  • [♪]

  • [Grace] Farrah!

  • Farrah, wait up!

  • Congratulations, El Jefe.

  • I just wanna say thanks. For everything.

  • - This is so cool! - Not a problem.

  • There's still one thing I don't get.

  • Why me? You didn't even know me.

  • I like a Cinderella story.

  • So, can I ask you, what now?

  • What do you mean?

  • Tomorrow. What do I do?

  • Uh, you keep your end of the bargain

  • and build a private handicap bathroom.

  • I will. I just meant about us.

  • Oh. Let's plan a weekly meet.

  • Sound good?

  • Bye.

  • [♪]

  • [Farrah] Grace Ho has a lot going for her.

  • Pretty, smart, and now she has a killer look.

  • It's really too bad she had to try

  • and give the Janes bridge pointers.

  • Why give away an advantage when you don't need to?

  • When all is said and done,

  • and she's at Harvard or whatever Ivy,

  • she'll look back on this and realize

  • I gave her exactly what she wanted.

  • [Stacey] I've been there.

  • What?

  • That's how it starts with her.

  • [sighs] Good luck.

  • [♪]

  • [Farrah] On the plus side, the same weakness

  • that made Grace Ho want to help the Janes in bridge

  • makes me quite certain that she'll keep up her end

  • of our little bathroom deal.

  • - Hey, Farrah. - Hey, Mrs. Davies!

  • I just talked to Will at college.

  • He asked if I'd seen you and wanted to know how you're doing.

  • Tell him that you have, and that I'm doing great.

  • Hey, Woogie. How's freshman year treating you?

  • Fine so far. Mostly because you haven't been calling me Woogie at school.

  • - [laughs] So, who do you have for English class? - Mrs. Koenig.

  • [Farrah] Oh, and I've already emailed Grace Ho

  • some bathroom tile choices.

  • [♪]

  • Who shit in your sandwich?

  • Your little Grace Ho puppet did.

  • But I don't think pulling her strings

  • is gonna be as easy as you think.

  • I'm not a very good liar.

  • Don't forget how you got here.

  • [siren wails]

  • Today, I identify as a woman.

  • Your move, girlfriend.

  • [Hope] Grace was right.

  • I can't think of a single thing Farrah's done for me

  • that didn't benefit her more.

  • Since when does her keeping stuff from us

  • seem weird to you?

  • She is full-on flirting with Will right now.

  • Nice style, Grace. Where'd you get it?

  • What illegalist thing do you need me to do now?

  • [Farrah] We need to leak this.

  • [Cowher] My mom could lose her job.

  • I want to break into her email.

  • She's your hacker?

  • The Crotch holds power. Barely tapped into it.

  • - Don't! - This is a huge story!

  • The Crotch has no moral compass.

  • That post violates me in so many ways!

  • [both exclaim]

  • You're screwing with a kid's life here.

  • I don't know what to do!

  • You know what your problem is?

  • You actually believe that you should decide

  • what's best for other people.

  • Everyone tells you how to live

  • But they don't know how to do it

  • I have to burn the whole thing down.

  • I'm not gonna let you burn it down without me.

  • Ready for the fallout?

  • Bring it on.
