00:09Are you okay?
00:11Yeah, I just need to clear my head.
00:16Thank you for asking.
00:18It was an incredible night.
00:22Yeah, it was incredible.
00:24Exactly right.
00:25I loved your performance of something in the air.
00:30I'm glad you liked it.
00:31Yeah, the pared-down version gave it this romantic, haunting vibe.
00:39I'm glad you thought that.
00:43Look, I don't normally do this, but since I'm here, I write songs and...
00:49I'm sorry.
00:51I gotta take care of something inside.
00:53Oh, I understand.
00:55Thank you for coming.
00:57I'm glad you had a good time.
01:08I just talked to him.
01:09Who?
01:10Eddie.
01:11What?
01:12What did you say?
01:13I have no idea, but words just came out and they must have been in the right order because
01:18he didn't look at me like I was crazy.
01:19And you didn't give him the CD?
01:21No.
01:21Why not?
01:22That was the whole point.
01:24Everything just happened so fast.
01:26I was about to go back inside and he came out and we were nose to nose.
01:29I cannot believe you were this close and you didn't pull the trigger.
01:33Yeah, but I wasn't about to thrust the CD in his hand.
01:36We were just talking and it was way cooler.
01:38Well, I hope it was worth it.
01:40Are you kidding?
01:41After the concert, I thought nothing could top it, but this party was off the charts.
01:46Oh, you better enjoy that afterglow now, Lo, because everything's about to blow up in
01:50your face.
01:51Huh?
01:51What Mel means to say is the situation has arisen.
01:55Wait, what situation?
01:57Somebody told Principal Nolan that you were the one who stole the test.
02:03Yo, what the hell is this?
02:05I'm about to find out.
02:06Where's Chloe?
02:07I haven't seen her.
02:08Your dad's worried about you.
02:09I'll deal with him later.
02:10Eddie, this photo is all over the internet.
02:12How did these sites get the photo of Tyler Ward coming out of Chloe's place at 2 a.m.?
02:15Yeah, when I get the answers, I'll let you know.
02:17Okay?
02:17But if you don't mind, I need to talk to Chloe.
02:20Okay.
02:26What the hell is going on?
02:28Hmm?
02:29Why is Tyler coming out of your place in the middle of the night?
02:42Wait, so you got a tweet from who?
02:44No, Adam got one from Kevin.
02:46I got a tweet from Jackson, who retweeted from Luke, who retweeted from Theo, who retweeted
02:50from Johnny, who retweets someone with the name Exams for Sale.
02:54Sounds like the lineup for a new boy band.
02:56And they're saying I sold the test?
02:57Not just that you sold it, that you stole it.
02:59What?
03:00Oh, good one, Mel.
03:02What a good punk.
03:03No, Lauren, I swear, this is no punk.
03:05It's legit.
03:06I would never do something like that.
03:08No, I naturally, I don't believe it.
03:10Neither do I.
03:11You'd be the last person to steal a test, unless you're one of those people that just like
03:15stealing for the thrill.
03:17Okay, listen, it doesn't matter what we believe.
03:19Someone ratted you out to Nolan.
03:21Hold on, Nolan thinks I'm guilty?
03:23Oh my God, could I be expelled for this?
03:27This thing is spreading faster than the time I told everyone that Gina Ford was prego.
03:31As long as everyone believes what they see.
03:33Are you kidding?
03:35People want to believe that a good girl like Lauren was caught cheating.
03:37It makes for a really juicy story.
03:40You know, I don't really care if the adults at our school believe it or not.
03:42The only person that matters is Nolan.
03:44Yeah.
03:46You said she bought it, right?
03:48Yeah, I mean, I think so.
03:51What do you mean you think so?
03:53You said that she definitely believed you.
03:55Yeah, well, okay.
03:57I told her that Lauren came to me privately after school and told me she'd gotten a hold
04:01of the pre-calc test.
04:02Asked me if I wanted to buy a copy of it.
04:04Asked her why she'd be selling a stolen exam.
04:06And she said that she needed money for college.
04:08Her mom doesn't make a lot of money.
04:10And I know because she works for my dad.
04:13But I told her, no, Lauren, Tate, this is wrong.
04:17You did real good, eh?
04:19Real good.
04:20Provided a motivation for Lauren.
04:22Even a goody two-shoes would do something desperate if college is on the line.
04:26I just felt so bad tattling on her.
04:28Really bad.
04:30I mean, Lauren's worked so hard over the years.
04:33And it would be such a shame if one stupid mistake kept her out of the college of her choice.
04:38The sympathy you show for her is smart, too.
04:40But, you know, when no one questions her, she's going to deny it.
04:43So we have to make sure that it doesn't come down to your word against hers.
04:49How do we do that?
04:51We have to give her physical proof so that there's no doubt that Lauren is guilty.
04:55What kind of proof?
04:56The kind of evidence that's irrefutable.
05:02Hey, guys.
05:05What's up?
05:07I trust none of what was filmed here will make it on air or the internet?
05:10All I got was a guy on stage talking about his father's nightclub.
05:13Not exactly a ratings bonanza.
05:15I'm telling you, Lily, if anything that came down tonight makes it out there, I will...
05:18Look, I hate to break it to you, Jake, but it's already out there.
05:21So what do you know about this photograph?
05:24Same as you.
05:25Nothing.
05:28If I find out that you had anything to do with this, I swear you will never get access to
05:31Eddie again.
05:32Never.
05:33If there's one thing I'm all about, it's access.
05:35So don't worry about it, Jake.
05:37Good night.
05:41Hey.
05:44Why don't you guys take the car and I'll catch a cat and meet you at home?
05:47Babe, we can wait.
05:48No, it's going to be a long night.
05:50Do you need any help?
05:51I do.
05:52I need you to go home with my wife and be your friend.
05:57We'll see you when you get home.
05:59I love you.
06:07Mom?
06:09You home?
06:10I didn't see your car.
06:12How am I supposed to explain this to her?
06:14Well, I'm thinking you'll never even have to.
06:17How's that possible?
06:18Well, everyone knows you're not capable of a crime like this.
06:21It takes serious skill to hack into a secure system like the school's.
06:24You mean skills like you have?
06:25Are you trying to get me expelled, too?
06:27To?
06:27Guys, do you know what happens to kids who get expelled?
06:30Lots of free time.
06:31I imagine they all take up interesting hobbies.
06:33They're blackballed.
06:35Forget school, forget work.
06:37This goes on your permanent record.
06:38Anybody who wants to can check and see that you got kicked out of school for cheating.
06:42It follows you for life.
06:43Relax, Lauren.
06:44You haven't been expelled.
06:46Yet.
06:46And according to a very informal poll on Facebook, a lot of people don't think you did it.
06:51A lot?
06:52It should be all.
06:53Who would ever believe I would do something like that?
06:55It's the internet.
06:56Some people believe everything.
06:58I heard there's some people who still think Clark Kent and Superman are the same person.
07:02Adam?
07:02It's impossible, Mel.
07:04Clark Kent wears glasses.
07:05How can they be the same guy?
07:07All these stupid tweets don't matter anyway.
07:09What I really need to worry about is Nolan believing me.
07:12Of course she will.
07:13Your behavior is basically spotless.
07:15You've never even been rubbermanded for talking in class.
07:17Yeah, Mel holds the record for that.
07:19Straight.
07:19No, I haven't.
07:21So how'd my name even get mixed up in any of this?
07:23I remember hearing about Nolan bringing in some kids from your class.
07:27Like a list of the usual suspects.
07:29You know who I think I was?
07:31Guys are so say.
07:32I totally saw where you were going with that.
07:33Okay, Film Appreciation Club, can we focus here?
07:36Who was called into Nolan's office?
07:38I wasn't.
07:39It was the kids who aced the test.
07:41I aced the test.
07:42Legitimately.
07:43Yeah, but these kids aced it un-legitimately.
07:45Okay, ill-legitimately.
07:47Ill-legitimately.
07:47Oh, see, with a brain like that, why would she even need to cheat?
07:49Right?
07:49We need to figure out which kids Nolan talked to.
07:52Adam, get on it.
07:53Oh boy, you guys never ask me for favors.
07:56I'm so glad I get to do something for you for a change.
07:59You'd love it.
08:03Can we just go somewhere and talk about this?
08:05I'm not going anywhere until I get some answers.
08:07I want answers too.
08:09I don't even know what this is.
08:11It's Tyler Rourke, leaving your place at 2 a.m.
08:15My God, you're acting like you believe that that's real?
08:19That's your place, right?
08:21And that's definitely Tyler.
08:22You think I'm cheating on you with Tyler Rourke?
08:24Are you?
08:25How could you even ask me that?
08:27I'm asking because I saw it with my own eyes.
08:30It's not real, Eddie.
08:32It's not real.
08:33There's no way that Tyler was at my house at 2 a.m.
08:35Or at any time.
08:36He doesn't even know where I live.
08:39I mean, does it even matter what I say?
08:43Or are you just going to believe what the gossip column says?
08:47Eddie.
08:48Oh my God.
08:53Chloe, wait.
08:56Oh gee, Chloe Carter's hot booty call leaving at 2 a.m.
09:00That's right.
09:01That's an accurate description.
09:03Eddie Duran's going to be a free man now.
09:05Eddie, call me.
09:06Here's my number.
09:08Why give your number to him?
09:09He lost.
09:09I won.
09:10Hit me with the numbers.
09:12Unless you're in the second place.
09:17Oh man.
09:19Don't run out on me.
09:20Isn't that what you're doing?
09:22Look, I'm trying to process this, okay?
09:24It wasn't quite the end of the evening that I was planning on.
09:27Hey, but we can't let some obviously doctored photo ruin an incredible night.
09:31Oh yeah, it's hard not to.
09:32Eddie, the photo is not real.
09:35Someone is messing with us.
09:36It's your place.
09:38I know, but you can go online and find tons of pictures of my place.
09:42Someone just photoshopped Tyler in there.
09:44Who?
09:45A paparazzi guy.
09:46Someone from Radar or TMZ.
09:48I don't know.
09:50Why?
09:51Why would anyone do that?
09:52To break us up.
09:54Do you know how many haters are out there and they're always posting,
09:57I hate Chloe, she's a skank.
09:59I'm going to break her skinny legs so then Eddie will be on mine.
10:02Why would a random person take a picture of Tyler out of all people and make it look like he's
10:08coming out of your place?
10:09Who knows what drives people in this crazy world?
10:12It's fear and jealousy and nobody's more full of both than the Tyler Rook.
10:20Why would Tyler do this to us?
10:23It's not about us.
10:25Okay, the guy wants to humiliate me.
10:27What, by sending some fake photo of him at my place?
10:30I don't know.
10:30I guess it's the best thing to come up with on short notice.
10:33But he knows we're solid.
10:37We're solid, right?
10:39Judging by his track record.
10:40Edward, the guy's always in competition with me.
10:45He even started tonight, right in front of my dad.
10:48I don't even understand why Amber brought him here.
10:50Who knows?
10:51I'm sure he charmed her into it.
10:53I doubt the girl even knows he's a snake.
10:54So he left here angry?
10:56Yeah, obviously.
10:58And since he blames me for all his problems anyway,
11:00he went home and was like,
11:02hmm, I'm going to screw with Eddie.
11:03So we bombarded the internet with that picture.
11:06And the gossip sites just rolled with it.
11:09Let me tell you something.
11:11It is time to stop Tyler Rourke.
11:13Now.
11:14The worst thing you can do is give him attention.
11:17That's what he wants.
11:18You're right.
11:19But I'm not going to let this go.
11:22I'm serious, Eddie.
11:25Eddie, you have to stay away from Tyler.
11:29Where's Eddie?
11:31Downstairs talking with Chloe.
11:34How's he seen?
11:36Upset.
11:37No doubt.
11:37Just when he was about to propose.
11:40Yeah.
11:41That was no coincidence.
11:43You think it was done on purpose to sabotage the proposal?
11:46Yeah, well, how well do you know Tyler Rourke?
11:48I don't.
11:48At all.
11:49I mean, I remember him from when he was friends with Eddie years ago.
11:52Yeah, he was a client of mine back when I worked at the agency.
11:55He's trouble.
11:55You know, good acting instincts,
11:58but every single job we sent him on,
12:00he caused trouble.
12:01And it was always somebody else's fault.
12:02Oh, yeah, yeah.
12:03I know the type.
12:04So I had to drop him as a client.
12:06He thinks Eddie called that shot,
12:08like I needed help making that decision.
12:10What about Chloe?
12:11What's her relationship with him?
12:13Nothing more than meeting Eddie through him.
12:16You sure?
12:17I mean, he said some real snide comments about Chloe.
12:20Okay, more than a friendly drunk at the end of the bar kind of thing,
12:23but I don't think he was joking.
12:24He's just jealous of everything that Eddie has, man.
12:27Career, talent, success, even his damn girlfriend.
12:31Listen, Jake.
12:33You know Chloe better than I.
12:36What do you think of her?
12:38Dangerous topic, Max.
12:40Dangerous.
12:40I will say this.
12:41She can distract Eddie right in a second when I need him to focus.
12:44Okay, but is she in love with him?
12:46Max, you're killing me with these questions.
12:49I mean, all I know is that she seems completely devoted to him.
12:52Look, what I'm trying to ask you is,
12:53do you think this marriage is a good idea?
12:58I think she makes him happy, okay?
13:00And Eddie does his best work when he's happy.
13:02Is that what it always comes down to for you?
13:05What's that?
13:05But you don't care that he's about to marry someone that might break his heart
13:08as long as he's churning out good songs at the end of the day.
13:11Oh, come on.
13:11Of course I care, all right?
13:13You might think I'm this heartless shark,
13:15but the fact is Eddie is like a brother to me.
13:17Right, a brother.
13:19Seriously, Max, I'd do anything for the guy,
13:21but he is going to make his own decisions about his personal life.
13:24And if he wants to include Chloe in that life,
13:27we're just going to have to accept it.
13:30Eddie, please stop!
13:32Eddie, stop!
13:33I'm going over to Tyler's now and I'm ending this.
13:35No, stop. He is starved for attention.
13:37Why give him more?
13:38The guy made me look like I don't know who's sleeping with my girlfriend!
13:40I'm not sleeping with anyone but you!
13:43Right!
13:43I'm not. You're playing right into his hands.
13:45You are!
13:46What do you mean?
13:47Because it's a trap.
13:49You go over there and you knock down his door
13:51and behind it are a million paparazzi
13:53just waiting to see Eddie Duran freak out.
13:55All right, let me tell you something.
13:56I'm not going to let this slide.
13:58Please.
13:59You could make this so much worse for us.
14:02What am I supposed to do?
14:04Huh?
14:04Tell me.
14:05What am I supposed to do?
14:06Just ignore him.
14:07Ignore him.
14:09Just tell him that you don't care about his stupid little life.
14:15Please.
14:17Nah, I'm not going to feed into his ego.
14:21That's for sure.
14:23Can we please just go back inside and figure this out calmly?
14:28Eddie, please.
14:29Eddie!
14:32Please.
14:38Come on, Adam.
14:39You said it'd take like five seconds.
14:41Sorry, there's this video going around of an alligator on a road.
14:44Adam!
14:44I have to find out who's accusing me.
14:49So, uh, are you sure?
14:50Someone in class?
14:51Positive.
14:52Going through the rows in my head.
14:54Well, so far on the list of people who have seen Principal Nolan,
14:57I have Diego Chiloro.
14:59No, we've been cool since second grade.
15:01It's not him.
15:02Gavin Parcells.
15:04Maybe.
15:04You wouldn't dance with him at Kirsten Suite 16.
15:07You can't dance to drop it like it's hot.
15:09It's not him.
15:11Natasha Lubinsky.
15:12Who?
15:13No, she just moved here from Russia.
15:14Forget her.
15:15Russians don't squeal.
15:16Aha!
15:17Natasha just hit me back.
15:18Good thing she's new at school and doesn't have any loyalties.
15:22Guess who was the last person to see Principal Nolan?
15:27Of course!
15:28How could it not be her?
15:29How did we not think of Adriana?
15:32I hadn't gotten to a row in my head yet.
15:34Boy, does she have a hate on for you.
15:36Yeah, even more so since your song made the top 25 in Eddie's contest.
15:39Yeah, but as evil as Adriana is, there's no way that she could have hacked into the school system and
15:43stolen a test.
15:44One time in computer lab, she was all mad because she spent like the whole hour trying to make Taylor
15:49Lautner her wallpaper.
15:50I don't think she's our hacker.
15:51Yeah, she might be an airhead, but her boyfriend slash my delinquent brother is a hacking savant.
15:57When it comes to computers, he's almost as smart as you are.
16:00Almost.
16:02Almost.
16:04So, you win any money tonight, Dad?
16:06Actually, I lost six bucks.
16:08Oh, no.
16:09Are we going to lose the house?
16:10Play for fun, Phil, not to make a living.
16:13That's what I work for.
16:15So, it's late.
16:16What are you guys still doing out?
16:18Uh, Phil's just showing me one of his PowerPoint projects.
16:22Shouldn't she be home already?
16:23Yes.
16:24I was just about to take her.
16:25Isn't her car outside?
16:27She's driving her car.
16:28I'm going to fall behind her because I don't want her driving out this late at night.
16:30Uh, well, what does your dad think about you getting home so late?
16:34He's okay with it.
16:36You know, he trusts me.
16:37Trust.
16:39Well, it is time for you guys to get going.
16:42It's not getting any earlier.
16:45Be back soon.
16:46Yeah, you know what?
16:47Go straight to Adriana's and then straight home, okay?
16:49Where else do I go?
16:54Uh, goodnight.
16:57Goodnight.
17:02So, what are we doing now?
17:03You're going home.
17:04Yeah, I know that, but what about this evidence you were talking about?
17:08On the way back from your place, I'm going to swing by the school for a little late night
17:11visit to Lauren's Locker.
17:16Okay, world, it is officially way past curfew.
17:19Lisa's probably waiting up with an axe.
17:21Come on, Adam, you're taking me home.
17:23And walking me inside.
17:24Okay.
17:25I'll grab my shield out of the trunk.
17:27Hey, Mel, can you do me a favor when you get home?
17:31Anything.
17:32Check out Phil's room.
17:33There's got to be a way that we can prove that he's the one who stole the test and hacked
17:37into the computer system.
17:38Yeah, all over it.
17:39Okay.
17:39Thank you guys for backing me up.
17:41Oh, it's fun.
17:42Very CSI.
17:43Don't worry, Lauren.
17:44You can rest easy.
17:45Adam and I are on the case.
17:56What are you doing?
17:57If you're planning evidence on Lauren, I'm coming with you.
17:59I work alone, babe.
18:01Okay, fine.
18:03What's your locker number?
18:04It's around the corner from yours.
18:06Right, yeah.
18:08Which way?
18:09I don't know.
18:10See?
18:11That's why I'm coming with you.
18:12We're partners.
18:15Fine, but you have to do exactly what I say.
18:18No problem.
18:20We're going to be like Bonnie and Clyde.
18:22Yeah, that worked out really well.
18:28Hey, baby.
18:29I wanted to come back in and see if you needed me.
18:31What a night, huh?
18:33Hmm.
18:34Who's Eddie?
18:35What are you two party animals still doing here?
18:38Hey.
18:38No longer partying us for sure.
18:40We, uh, good?
18:44We're good.
18:45Well, I have a painfully early call with the New York promo people.
18:48They're amped about the song contest.
18:49Good, good.
18:50I just, I want to listen to them a few more times, okay?
18:53No, by all means, take your time.
18:55Yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed the evening.
18:57No, we did.
18:58It was great hearing you sing again.
19:00Thanks.
19:01You know, maybe if you join us on tour, you'll be able to hear it a lot more.
19:04Yeah, well, if I didn't have a career I love, I'd be right there.
19:07Okay.
19:08Or maybe I can, I don't know, work something out where my vacation coincides with the next tour.
19:14That'd be great, Tris.
19:16I mean, it'd be really nice to have a partner in crime.
19:18Hey.
19:18I mean, someone hit all the shops with.
19:20A girl can only take so much Madden on a tour bus.
19:23I try telling him.
19:25I know boys and their toys.
19:27Uh, before we bounce, can I talk to you about a couple quick things?
19:30One minute, two minutes, that's all I need.
19:33Stock studs, now.
19:41Okay, tell me the truth, what happened?
19:45Picture's fake.
19:47Tyler sent it.
19:49What a piece of...
19:50Just deal with the fallout.
19:52Okay, and if anyone asks, which they will,
19:57just tell them the bogus picture was sent as a bad joke.
19:59Are you sure you don't want me to know this bastard?
20:02Uh, I don't want to give him any ammunition.
20:05So, what happens now?
20:07Tris, you know I love Eddie very much.
20:10Hey.
20:11I think he feels the same way.
20:13Yeah.
20:14I had such high hopes for tonight.
20:16I really thought it was going to be the next step in our relationship.
20:20Listen, if you and Eddie are meant to be together, it'll happen, Chloe.
20:24Just, you can't force it.
20:26Yeah.
20:28Two minutes on the dot, what do I win?
20:30A ride home.
20:32Good night, you guys.
20:33Tell your father we say congratulations.
20:35I will.
20:36I will.
20:36Okay.
20:37Thanks for coming.
20:38Of course.
20:39Bye, sir.
20:40See you.
20:41Good night.
20:45So, let's go say bye before we head out.
20:53Are you ready?
20:54Yeah, Pop.
20:56Can you tell me what?
20:57What do you mean?
20:58We just came by to say goodnight.
20:59Oh, good.
21:00Good.
21:01I'm glad.
21:02It's nice to see you both.
21:03You did it, Pop.
21:05You're the new mayor of the Sunset Strip.
21:07The party was fabulous.
21:09The club's going to be huge.
21:11Yeah, I hope so.
21:12I'm really proud of you.
21:14Hmm?
21:14Now relax a little, okay?
21:16Enjoy it.
21:17Oh, I will.
21:17Yeah.
21:18As soon as I sleep for about a week.
21:22Mom would have loved it, too.
21:23Yeah.
21:24Your performance would have been her favorite part.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Ah.
21:29Has everything worked out?
21:31Yeah.
21:33So, you hungry?
21:33You want to go grab a bite?
21:36Kitchen 24?
21:37Duh.
21:38It's hard for me to say no to Kitchen 24.
21:40You want to grab a quick something?
21:42I'm really tired.
21:43Could we actually take a rain check?
21:45I have an early morning, and I promised Eddie I'd make him work on his new songs.
21:49Yeah, I mean, it's kind of late anyway, so I'm just going to crash here.
21:53It's okay.
21:54Good night, Pop.
21:55May I love you?
21:56Yeah.
21:58Okay.
21:59Me too.
22:00Call.
22:01Yeah?
22:03Oh, thank you for letting me be a part of tonight.
22:07It was absolutely legendary.
22:09Mm-hmm.
22:09Okay.
22:11Mm-hmm.
22:34Who the hell is this?
22:36Billy Park.
22:37Yeah?
22:38What's up?
22:39Well, let me in, and I'll tell you.
22:41Mm-hmm.
22:42Mm-hmm.
22:43Mm-hmm.
22:44Mm-hmm.
22:49You really know how to leave him laughing, don't you, Tyler?
22:52I have no idea what you're talking about.
22:55Oh, drop the act, Tyler.
22:56You just royally screwed over a girl that you claim to care so much about.
23:00You ever think maybe I'm the one that got screwed over?
23:02Oh, playing the victim card.
23:04Very nice.
23:05You must have a PhD in manipulation.
23:07I study.
23:08I like to work on my craft.
23:10Who else can have one of L.A.'s top models scurrying around like a scared little bunny trying to plug
23:15all the holes that you've dug?
23:16I'm not the one lying to their boyfriend.
23:18If that's what this is really about.
23:20Eddie doesn't love Chloe.
23:23I wouldn't say that she loves you, either.
23:25You wouldn't?
23:26Well, you definitely got a hold on her, and it's powerful.
23:29But it's not love.
23:30Chloe knows what she's got with me.
23:32Oh, yeah.
23:33A guy who'd stop at nothing to destroy her.
23:35I'm not out to take down Chloe.
23:37No.
23:37Your guns are seriously trained on Eddie.
23:39Yeah, he deserves it.
23:40And if Chloe becomes collateral damage, so be it.
23:44Yes, she protects you.
23:45Why?
23:47Ask her.
23:48Maybe she cares about me more than you think.
23:50Oh, she cares about the damage you can do to her.
23:52That's for sure.
23:53And that fear alone is enough to keep her jumping through hoops to avoid setting you off.
23:57You think you have all the answers, don't you, Lily?
24:00No, that's why I'm here.
24:02I want to know the story.
24:04What do you have on Chloe?
24:08I hope you don't mind getting takeout.
24:10I really didn't feel like sitting in a restaurant at this hour.
24:13I just thought maybe you didn't want to spend any time with my dad.
24:16Oh, of course not.
24:19But I'm not going to lie.
24:21I did want some private time with you.
24:27It's pretty cool that we got to meet Connor Morgan tonight.
24:30I think he really liked me.
24:32And I know that he really liked you.
24:35He likes me because he can exploit me.
24:38But how amazing would it be if we did a movie together?
24:42I mean, I know that you're just focusing on music, but think of how cute it would be if we
24:46did one of those, like, romantic comedies together.
24:49Don't you think?
24:49I guess.
24:52I mean, his boss, Osborne Silver, practically runs Hollywood.
24:56He said he'd set up a meeting for us.
24:59Maybe you could call tomorrow and set it up?
25:01Yeah, maybe.
25:03That's not something that you want to leave Jake with.
25:05I mean, it would probably just end up with a bunch of phone tag with assistants, you know?
25:10Okay.
25:14Or you could just keep them guessing until they give me a decent part.
25:23I mean, I know that you don't want to commit to them.
25:25I don't expect you to.
25:26No, I know.
25:29Chloe, it's not about that.
25:30I'm thinking about something else.
25:33What?
25:34What do you think?
25:37I thought we agreed not to expend any more oxygen on this.
25:41I really just want to go over there and kick his ass.
25:45But see, that would be the biggest waste of energy.
25:50He just really pushed it with me tonight.
25:52Crashing the party, disrespecting my dad, and then using that photo to embarrass me in front of the whole world.
25:59I'm the victim here.
26:00I'm the one he supposedly slept with.
26:03I forgot.
26:05Has he ever come on to you?
26:07Oh, my God, Eddie.
26:09You can't let him do this to you, to us.
26:11We can't let Tyler and his jealousy ruin this night that was supposed to be very special.
26:16You're right.
26:18Yeah, but I should get off that.
26:20I'm upsetting you.
26:21Only because I see what it's doing to you.
26:26I love you.
26:28Very much.
26:31I just don't really know if you feel the same way.
26:33Well, of course I do.
26:35I just didn't expect to get blindsided like that, especially tonight.
26:40Do you think we can move on from this?
26:43I really want to move on from this.
26:48I want that, too.
27:01Well, I thought tonight was incredible.
27:04I felt so Hollywood.
27:06I chatted of Carson Daly for like 10 minutes.
27:08Sorry, Kelly, but that was not Carson Daly.
27:11Just some guy who looked like him.
27:12You know, that would make sense, because the guy did try to sell me a condo.
27:16Kelly!
27:16Well, yo, I saw you trying to do your thing out there, girl.
27:18You looked right at home.
27:19You're a natural-born schmoozer, Kel.
27:21Yeah, well, thanks for inviting me.
27:23Our pleasure.
27:24I have to fire off a few emails.
27:26Of course.
27:30You know, I really, I'm so happy you came.
27:35Seriously, having you there made everything a little more bearable.
27:38God, I loved it.
27:39Being in that crowd just made me feel so alive.
27:42Oh, you sound like Jake.
27:45You know, I really meant it when I said you could be a total asset to him at the office.
27:50I don't want to impose myself.
27:52Oh, if you could help him out, it would be a win-win for everybody, believe me.
27:55Yeah, well, you know, it's going to be kind of awkward to be like,
27:57Hey, Jake, since I'm friends with your wife, can you just show me what you do?
28:00Oh, and by the way, if it's not too much trouble, can you hire me?
28:04Girl, you don't have to say it all at once.
28:07Start with observing what he does.
28:08Offer to help on little tasks.
28:11Ask for some pointers.
28:12Okay, the man lives to give advice.
28:14I could tell.
28:16At dinner, he was telling me the best way to cut my steak.
28:18See?
28:19Now, imagine if you asked him something he was passionate about, like the business.
28:22No, I don't know.
28:23He seemed pretty passionate about how to cut that meat.
28:25That's my baby.
28:28I'm just saying.
28:29He did call you a natural.
28:31He knows you have the talent.
28:33You just got to let him know you're interested.
28:35Thanks for looking out for me, Trace.
28:38You're really going out of your way to be a really good friend.
28:42You'd do the same for me if the tables were turned.
28:45I'm glad you think so.
28:47No, seriously.
28:49Thank you for everything.
28:51You're welcome.
28:52Good night.
28:52Good night, sweetheart.
28:55Get some rest.
28:56You tried.
29:00There he is.
29:03You finished wheeling and dealing.
29:05Well, that's it.
29:06I am done for the night.
29:08No.
29:09I think there is one more thing on your to-do list.
29:14Mm-hmm.
29:18Mom, you're home late.
29:19Oh.
29:21What a night.
29:23Mwah.
29:25Did you go to the movies?
29:25Oh, three and a half hours about the French resistance in World War II.
29:30I mean, by the end of it, I was ready to surrender to the Germans.
29:34Please remind me never to let Ellie pick a movie again.
29:36Sorry.
29:38Oh, but you know what the good news is?
29:39Is I caught a nap in the second hour, so I'm not as tired as I could be.
29:43What about you?
29:44How was the hottest party in the history of Los Angeles?
29:47Did you get in?
29:48It was the best night in the history of, like, ever.
29:51I mean, at first we thought there was no way that we'd be able to get in.
29:54But then Mel and I figured out a way to tag along with these guys that didn't have any dates.
29:58We ditched them later.
29:59But we ran into Jake Madsen again, and he said he was going to introduce us to Eddie.
30:03But then Eddie had to go up on stage and perform something in the air on the piano, which was
30:07magical.
30:08And we were up in front again.
30:10Mom, he smiled at me.
30:13Wow.
30:13It sounds like you had quite an eventful night.
30:16Yeah, it was awesome.
30:17I am really tired, and I am going to go to bed.
30:20Night.
30:22Honey, are you sure that nothing else happened tonight?
30:26You know, don't you?
30:28Mm-hmm.
30:29Principal Nolan left me a message.
30:31She wants me to call her tomorrow to set up an appointment.
30:33I mean, how on earth did you get tangled up in a cheating scandal?
30:37Someone framed me.
30:39Who? Why?
30:40I have my suspicions, but I don't want to say anything yet until I can prove it.
30:44Honey, you don't have to prove anything to me.
30:46But I do to Principal Nolan.
30:48I can only imagine what she thinks of me.
30:50Okay.
30:50Well, we will set her straight together tomorrow.
30:54I don't know what to do.
30:56I mean, what if the schools that I applied to find out, and I lose my HB scholarship?
31:01I mean, what if I can't afford school?
31:04You don't have to worry about any of that stuff.
31:06You believe I'm innocent, right?
31:07Of course I do.
31:09Steal a test?
31:10When you were eight, you took gum from a store, and you cried for a week.
31:14And then you wrote a letter of apology to the President of the United States.
31:19I felt like I had let him down.
31:20I still have that letter, and I'm going to show it to Mrs. Nolan, so she can see how ridiculous
31:24this is.
31:26This really is so ridiculous.
31:28I mean, I don't understand who would go to such great lengths to get you in trouble or expelled.
31:33You know what?
31:34You do not have to prove anything or protect anyone except yourself.
31:38Okay?
31:39You just go in there, and you tell them exactly what you know.
31:41I understand, but I don't know anything.
31:45I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, honey.
31:47Especially after the night you had.
31:49But it will be over tomorrow.
31:51I'm just really glad you have my back.
31:54I know who you are, Lauren Tate.
31:56And no one messes with my daughter and gets away with it.
31:59No one.
32:14No one messes with my daughter and gets away with it.
32:21Dad.
32:23Daddy.
32:25I'm so sorry.
32:26It's me.
32:27It's me.
32:27Oh, hey, Mel.
32:29Hey, oh, my God.
32:30Are you just getting home?
32:31No, I've been home for a while now.
32:33Safe and sound.
32:35Before the curfew.
32:37Good.
32:38Because that is what is going to go on my report to your mother.
32:41Good night.
32:41Go to bed.
32:42I will.
32:43Sleep well.
32:44Yeah, you too.
33:01Okay.
33:03Okay.
33:04Think like Phil.
33:04Think like Phil.
33:06Oh, it's so painful.
33:08Okay.

33:48Awesome.
33:49What's the combo?
33:50How the hell should I know?
33:51I'm just messing with you.
33:55Wait, won't they be able to tell us to force it open?
33:58I was forcing.
34:04How'd you like to do that?
34:05Ocean's 11.
34:07You're such a good cat robber.
34:09Cat burglar.

38:22well we didn't
38:50believe i'm not the one playing chloe you claim to be there and just say that they're
38:53a dear friend of hers, but all you want is dirt.
38:56Oh, I don't care who the dirt is on.
38:58I just want to get it first.
39:01Even if your pal Chloe is collateral damage?
39:04With friends like you, I mean, you don't even need...
39:05Tyler, I don't know why you are fighting me on this.
39:09You know, we could help each other out so much
39:11if we were just on the same side.
39:13Hey.
39:16How?
39:17Well, you know, everyone in this little town
39:19is on my speed dial.
39:21So, you just tell me who you want to meet.
39:22Oh, you do that for me?
39:24For information, what do you say?
39:27You know, as much as I'd like to help a young cub reporter,
39:29I don't have anything you need.
39:31Well, how about you just think about it,
39:33and when you're ready, you give me a call.
39:35Because I know you have something on Chloe,
39:38and I'm going to find out what it is,
39:39with you or without you.
39:41Good luck with that.
39:42And if it's without you, I might have to take you down with her.
39:44Or maybe I'll just take you down instead.
39:47That sounds like a threat.

39:51I've got plenty of friends.
39:52Sure, if by friends you mean
39:54people who don't like you, don't trust you,
39:56and don't want to work with you.

40:01then you're going to blast me to all your viewers
40:02to ruin my career.
