for agreeing to be participants
in my Psych 101 study.
Of course. I love experiments.

Double blinds? Any dichotomous variables?
Kimberly, you're already queen geek.
You don't need to nerd flex.
I'm attempting to prove my theory
that women are just as horny as men.
And I'll be collecting data with these devices.
I'm sorry, is there something about my personality
that suggests you can toss something at me?
The idea is that whenever you have a sexual thought
or feeling, big or small, you mark it with a click.
Ah, interesting. So like when you said the word click,
and I thought it sounded like "dick," that's a click?
BELA: Exactly. In fact, that's gonna be
a big, thick click for me, too.
I love that you're combining feminism and science,
but could you possibly be turning school into sex
because you and Arvind still haven't hooked up?
Wait, Arvind is single now,
and he still hasn't made a move?
I say this as a proud virgin:
what is wrong with that prude?
I know. It's driving me insane.
Why don't you make a move, then?
No way, too high stakes.
I don't know how he feels.
Plus, he just broke up with his girlfriend,
and I like him.
(sighs) I don't want to be a rebound.
-Oh, I get that. -Totally. -Yeah.

We've been through so much together,
and I finally figured out my proper bra size.
Well, my dad's very excited to visit.
Not to see me. He found a dinner reservation
that gets him triple diamond points on OpenTable.
He has so many points, he could literally buy a restaurant.
Well, my mom's not gonna make it.
The President's dog bit her.

Oh, a guitar concert? Your dad must rock.
He does, yeah. He's my role model.
I would've been a guitarist, too,

KACEY: Oh, I love that.
My mom and I are the same.
She's my best friend.
In fact, everyone always thinks we're twins.
It's so random.
WHITNEY: Oh, wow.
But she's so much taller than you.
Twins can be different heights.
You know what? That reminds me, I should text her

-Spoiler alert, it might be green. -(phone chimes)
That's a lot of Eli on read.
You still mad at him for leaving you
high on molly at that party last week?
Kind of. I mean, he apologized,

No, that's not-- I mean--

-We love you. -(chuckling)
-Mwah. -Love you, too.
♪ I said "It's over" and walked away... ♪
So, you saw my dating profile.
I did.
And you liked it?
No, that part was a mistake
that will follow me to hell.
But it's okay. We don't need to talk about it.
I understand. You are an adult single male,
and you have...
-...sex. -(chuckles)
Wait, that's what you think I'm on that app for?
I've been single for 15 years.
I've never needed an app for that.
-Oh, kill me. Kill me now. -Now, honey,
after your mom and I split,
I stayed single for a lot of reasons.
But, mostly, I thought being alone
was the easiest way to pursue my dreams.
It turned out any success felt empty
without someone to share it with.
-I'm sorry. -No, no. D-Don't apologize.
I'm not sad. I'm...
optimistic about meeting someone.
Like you could be with your situationship.
(gasps) Oh, my God, you did not just do that.
I can't. We're not doing that.
-Is this our car? -(stammering)
I don't even care. I'm getting in.

I'm sorry about tonight.
I know you really liked Eli.
Oh, honey, you are my greatest life accomplishment.
You could never disappoint me.
Oh, Mom.
But can I say one thing?
You have such clear focus on what you want
and how you want your life to go.
It wouldn't hurt you to keep an open mind.
Don't decide everything about your future right now.
For example, I never thought I would marry
someone who wore wrist jewelry,
but then I met your father.
I appreciate that and get it.
But, wait, Dad wears wrist jewelry?
Oh. Yeah, I mean, not anymore.
It bothers his eczema too much.
But, boy, back in the day, he would jingle-jangle.
Could hear him through the house like a dog.
(chuckling)
It was cute.
TRACEY: I'm sorry about the breakup, honey.
Yeah, I'm gonna be seeing
Calvin's mom at the country club.
Is this something that you two are working through
-or-- -No, he cheated on me.
We are done.
Okay. Understood.
I only got upset earlier because I love you
and I want you to be okay.
It's not easy to be out in the world without a partner.
Don't worry, Mom.
I'm doing okay.
Good.
And don't you worry-- some handsome and successful boy
is gonna snatch you right up.
Because you
are as beautiful as your mother.
-(chuckles) -Oh, my God, we almost forgot.
We got to take our picture together.
Oh...
What are you doing? You are gonna freeze.
I think I look better this way.
Okay.

Bela?
-What are you doing here? -I'm sorry I lied to you.
I only did it because I like you. Like, I like you like you.
And I thought if our parents met, it would ruin things.
But I realized lying made it way worse.
I'm sorry I'm being really weird.
It's just I-I've been in my mind
ever since I met you and I--
You okay?
Sorry. I didn't ask for consent.
No. Um, it's just-- My parents are right there,
-across the street in the car. -Oh. Hey.
-Uh, yeah, don't wave. Let's go inside. -Yeah. That makes sense.
