[Emma] Previously on Big Shot…
Trevor and I have tickets to a concert tonight.
Trevor is not going out on a school night. Quite frankly, you shouldn't be either.
-[grunts] -[gasps]
[laughs]
Oh, I see this little game you two are playing.
Careful. Can't let it get stolen.
Only if I allow it.
-[Destiny] Oh, look at you all giddy. -It's that Nick effect.
We're just, um-- We're just friends.
-Do you think he likes you back? -I think so.
-Hey, you wanna come hang at my place? -I can't. I'm meeting someone.
[Louise] Someone. That sounds intriguing.
Yeah. Maybe I'll tell you about it later.
-You lied to me. -You lied to me too.
Emma ran off with a boy!
-Do you trust me? -Not even a little bit.
What is this thing that nobody's at fault for?
-[guard] Trespassing. -[Marvyn] Trespassing?
With him?
You're a spoiled little brat.
I think that you've gone from being a villain to being a joke.
-[Destiny] Is everything okay? -[Samantha] I don't know.
-[Mouse] We could've helped you. -Samantha?
Samantha!
These panic attacks are real.
What do you do about it?
-I-- -[alarm blaring]
What is that? "Mandatory evacuation."
-Oh, wow. Okay. -Okay. Come on. This way!
[chattering]
[alarm continues]
[reporter on TV] The fire is 0% contained and continues to spread.
We'll announce more evacuation centers as the information becomes available.
-[Holly] Come on over here. -[Sherilyn] Make sure you set them up…
-We're gonna get you… -…need them know where to sit.
-Okay, so we're going down here. Come on. -[Marvyn] Everybody, please stay calm.
If you need medical attention, that desk right there.
Anyone needing food or rest, we're gonna set up cots in this area.
[chattering]
Hi, what's your name?
Holly!
-Yeah. -Come on.
Oh, wow. Who do we have here?
She-- She won't tell me her name. I don't--
Hey. What happened?
I have a bad boo-boo.
Oh, you do? Well, I have a Band-Aid for your boo-boo.
Girls, hustle. Get off your phones. Help those people over there.
What about her parents?
I don't know. Figured you'd figure that out.
I'm on Band-Aid duty. Why don't you find her parents?
I'm in the middle of a crisis. I figured since you're a woman--
Fine. I'll take care of it.
Honey, we need your name so we can find your mom.
What is it? Can you tell me your name?
[mother] Cooper!
[sighs]
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
What? I'm the one who found her. Why are you so sensitive about everything?
Why do you always have to be such a--
[rhythmic clapping]
[crowd cheers]
[buzzer sounds]
They're saying this is the worst fire in 100 years.
I wish my parents were here and not evacuated to the Y.
Well, my mother evacuated herself to the Four Seasons, Santa Barbara.
Oh, my God. They said the fire's spreading.
-This could be the end of everything. -Okay, stop it.
Your anxiety is adding to my anxiety.
I can't even get in contact with my mom.
Can we not catastrophize? It's just gonna make everything worse.
How could it be worse? We might all die. It doesn't get any worse than that.
-[whistle blows] -That. That's not helpful.
Yeah, you know what else isn't helpful? That.
You can't be mad at us for being scared.
-Have you seen the news? -You have to be a little afraid?
One of the first things I learned when I was a young boy:
Don't let fear control me.
-That sounds like a story. -Yeah, for another time.
These evacuees need us.
So, whatever issues, problems, fights you're having with each other or me,
let's put it aside for now.
We need more blankets. We need more pillows. We need more cots.
-Emma. -Absolutely. Anything for Holly.
-Destiny-- -Oh, I can do the water cart.
[Marvyn] Good, good, good.
The rest of you come with me. These people are hungry.
-Is he trying to coach this fire away? -He's trying to coach something away.
Samantha.
You doing okay?
[Samantha sighs]
-Does it show? -No.
You know, uh, sometimes the best way
that we can help ourselves is to help other people.
Wanna see what we can do?
-Yeah. -[Holly] Okay.
[Samantha sighs]
[Holly sighs]
[Destiny] Do you guys want any water? Do you guys want some water?
-Yeah, we would. Thanks. -Right. Here you go.
Thank you.
Can I get that one more time? I didn't get the evacuees in the shot.
What are you doing?
-Disaster documentaries are awards bait. -[phone chimes]
My EGOT is not gonna happen on its own.
Yeah, you're a real humanitarian.
-[Harper] Thank you. -Hey.
Hey, my mom just texted me.
She said that they're safe and that they-- Oh, they got sent to the rec center.
That's a relief.
Um…
Look, I'm really sorry, but I gotta head out.
Head out?
-Yeah. -Where?
-To do what? -To get Stark.
Star--
Cause my dad's out of town. My mom's here. He's alone at the house.
Who's Stark? And do you have footage of him?
Stark is his dog. Can you go read a book or something?
Like here. Here's what he looks like.
-He's adorable. -Yeah, adorable.
You're not going anywhere. This is-- It's an evacuation center.
People are supposed to come here, not go back out into the fire.
I am. Okay? I'm not just gonna leave him there.
What would-- Does your mom know about this?
-No, no! And I'm not telling her. -Well-- [scoffs]
And neither are you. 'Cause she'll lose her mind.
Yeah, as she should.
[people chattering]
[Trevor] I'll see you later.
Wait, I'll go with you. Just-- [scoffs]
Come on. Follow me.
-What the hell are you guys doing? -Mmm. That's so good.
-Eating ice cream. -I see.
-You want some? -No. Move.
Sweep or something.
So, what are we gonna make?
Well, we have olives. We've got pickles. We've got noodles--
-We've got butter. -We've got butter.
What kind of a meal is that? Buttery olive pickle noodles?
No, you know what we'll make?
Fried spaghetti. My favorite. My mom used to make it when I was a kid.
-Oh, yeah, with powdered sugar. -I think someone needs an intervention.
Ava, go boil some water.
Get her some pots and pans, whatever.
And find some paper plates for me, will you?
Not sure how much I can help, Coach.
You do have another hand, don't you?
Move it!
-Come on! -Coach, you want us to do anything?
Yeah. Could you stop making that dumb face?
-Okay. -Clean this up, guys. Come on, man.
This is serious.
[evacuee 1] It's so scary.
-I just can't believe it. -[evacuee 2] Yeah. [groans]
[chattering]
-Hey. -Hey.
[Emma] Busy?
You know, it depends who's asking, really. [chuckles]
I need to find cots, blankets and pillows.
-Come with? -Yeah.
[sizzling]
Come on. Let's move it! These people are hungry out there.
That looks good.
Louise, this is burnt.
This is burnt spaghetti. It's supposed to be fried spaghetti.
Make it again.
You should know I can barely cook water.
[laughs] I'm sure that's not true.
[chuckles]
Hey, Nick. Does this look cooked to you?
Yeah, looks good to me.
[chuckles]
[whispering] Dude, I can't deal with both of them at the same time.
I'll handle this.
Hey, Coach. Nick and I gotta leave. See ya.
Way to handle it.
Hey, wait. I thought we were gonna hang out for a bit. I mean--
I-- He-- I-- [groans]
-He left without even saying goodbye. -[Samantha] Maybe it was urgent.
Like he needed to find his family or go number two.
Ew!
Seriously, what is the deal with this guy? He acted like he barely even knew me.
-You need to DTR. Define the-- -Relationship. I know what it is.
I don't even know if it is a relationship at this point.
Yeah, he probably still hates you.
No way. You need to seal the deal, okay?
Nick is literally the hottest guy on this planet or any other,
and he's trapped in a school full of girls right now.
He's not gonna last the day.
It's the only time I'm gonna say this non-sarcastically,
but you're right.
I'm gonna reapply my mascara, and I'm gonna make it happen.
And don't forget the lip gloss.
[sighs]
[student] Two more, yeah? Nice.
Ava and Louise?
[Nick] Dude, stop.
-[Zach] Nick, I feel super sorry for you. -[Nick] Oh, yeah?
[Zach] You're dating the two hottest girls in school.
[students laughing, chattering]
-[Zach] Come on, bro. -Hey, Coach.
Hey, boys. Uh, why don't we get out there?
There are a lot of people who need our help.
[player] You got it, Coach.
-Come on. -[player] Let's go, man.
Yeah. Not you, Nick.
[Jackson] It's just me, but I didn't love you in Beth Macbeth, just gotta say.
Excuse me?
Oh, sorry. I was just talking to Harper.
[both laughing]
Will you get serious? We're supposed to be looking for pillows.
-You're right. You know what? -I am right.
-You talk to her. -Oh.
-Goodbye. -Ooh. "Do not open."
[Emma] Mm-hmm.
-Our specialty. -Really is.
Hmm.
Allow me.
-[Emma] Thank you kindly. -Not a problem.
-Well… -[sighs]
…shall I do the honors?
-I think you shall. -I think I shall.
-[both shout] -[laughter on speaker]
[both laughing]
[Jackson] Oh, my God.
-No! -[laughs]
-Are you okay? -I'm okay.
-Yeah? -I'm okay.
[chuckles]
[clears throat] We should probably get back.
Mmm. That's exactly what I wasn't thinking.
Really?
-Yeah. -Okay.
But you did say that it's time to get back, so I think that--
No, I was--
-I'm not to be trusted or listened to. -I think I'm just doing what you said.
-[Jackson] I've been totally-- -So…
Oh…
[students chattering, laughing]
Well, then just reroute them to Westbrook, Captain.
Anybody that needs a safe place, we'll make room for them. Okay.
[laughing continues]
You three, really? Right now? We're in an emergency.
-[alarm blaring] -[sighs]
[students murmuring]
Oh! What now? [grunts]
Korn!
Ah! What?
Are you trying to burn down the fire evacuation center?
Relax, I got this.
-You sure? -Yes, I'm great in a crisis.
Ms. Thomas. I hate being a snitch.
Not in my experience. But go on.
Well, I thought you'd wanna know that Trevor left campus to go save Stark.
-What? -He's your dog.
-I know who Stark is! -Wasn't sure.
Hey, it's Trevor. I'm not here right now. Leave a message.
I'm gonna kill him.
-Um, Destiny went with him. -She what?
Okay. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
We're in the middle of a fire and these two ran into it?
Okay, I'm gonna have to go get him.
No, no, no. It's dangerous out there. Please.
Korn, you are a parent.
Tell me you understand this.
I do.
[groans, sniffles]
You're in charge now. Please just try not to burn down the school.
Be careful!
[door opens]
[horns honking]
[driver 1] Come on!
[driver 2] Move!
-[driver 1] There's nowhere to go! -[honking continues]
[Destiny] Stop. Stop. Stop!
-[driver 3] Are you serious? -[horn honking]
Stop honking, okay? It's not gonna make us go any faster.
I have to try something. Why aren't they getting out of the way?
Maybe that's the same thing that they're thinking about us,
so maybe we should turn around.
[driver 2] Out of the way!
Turn your car around!
-No, we're not turning around. -What?
-We're not turning around. -What do you ev--
What are you-- What are you doing?
This is useless, okay? I have to make a run for it.
-Where are you going? -I have to go save him!
What? Are you insane?
Yeah!
-What? -[driver 4] Get back in your car!
-[Destiny] Oh, my-- Trevor! -[horns honking]
-It's not what you think. -Okay. Are you dating Louise?
-I guess it's partially what you think. -Are you dating Ava?
-[sighs] Okay. It's what you think. -It's what I think.
-Come on, Nick. This is not okay. -What do I do? I mean, I like them both.
-[scoffs] -Ava is ambitious and tough,
but Louise and I-- I don't know. We just have this connection, you know? I…
I don't know how to pick.
Yeah. No, I can see this is very difficult for you.
Yeah. Right? And if they find out that I'm seeing--
When. When they find out, Nick. Because they're gonna find out.
-Please don't tell them. -Come on.
You're putting me in a really difficult position.
I-- I know I'm your coach, but I really love these girls.
[sighs]
Okay. Okay.
You have until the end of the day to tell them,
or I'm gonna do it.
Do what?
Nothing.
Go.
What's going on?
I'm looking for Emma.
She's supposed to get the blankets so we can pass 'em out.
Oh.
-What? -I think I saw her with Jackson.
-Jackson? -Yeah.
Where?
Uh, by the theater.
-[Marvyn] Jackson. -[sighs]
[handle clinks]
[keys jingling]
[Emma laughs]
-Dad? We were locked in here. -Mr. Korn…
-You locked her in here, didn't you? -Nice try, but he did not.
-No, it was a total mistake. I'd-- -Get out!
Did you not hear what I'm saying? Go!
-Can I just real quick? I was just-- -No! You can't "real quick." Get out!
I'll text you.
No, you won't.
And you, get out there and help the people in the gym.
What?
I just--
I look at all those people and I don't know what to do, okay?
There's so much pain. It's overwhelming.
Oh, right. So, you don't have the courage to go out there? You're scared.
Spend the rest of the day in my office. Go.
You can't tell me what to do.
I just did! Go!
-Come on. -Unbelievable.
[students chattering]
Who are you texting?
Uh…
You, actually.
Oh!
Really? Well, what were you gonna tell me?
Just that--
[sighs]
Well, what were you gonna tell me?
All right, I'll just say it.
Um…
I feel like there's something here,
and, I guess, I just-- I'm wondering what this is.
[sighs] That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
Kay. Well, what were you thinking?
Uh…
Well, what were you thinking?
[chuckling]
Well, I was thinking we could officially be boyfriend and girlfriend.
But only if that's what you were thinking.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Okay. Cool.
-Cool. -[chuckles]
[students chattering]
Dude, she's taking that a lot better than I thought she would.
[sighs] I couldn't do it, man.
Guess I'm gonna go break up with Ava instead.
Let's go.
[people chattering]
Harper. Hey.
[sighs] Carolyn, you're in my shot.
Oh! Uh…
I-- I've been looking for you. Are you okay?
I'd be doing better if you'd get out of my shot.
Oh.
Thank you. [sighs] Okay.
[chattering continues]
Here you go, sir.
I don't like this one.
It's scratchy.
Well, too bad. We have a limited supply here, sir.
It's a rich school. How can you have a limited supply of anything?
If you don't want it, there's plenty of people here who would want--
Who the hell do you think you're talking to, blanket boy?
Look, it's been a long day, man. Just relax.
-Listen to me. -Everybody's--
Hi, um, what's your name, sir? I'm Samantha.
Eddie. Ed.
All right. I got this, Samantha. Go ahead.
-Tough day, huh, Ed? -Yeah.
You know what made me feel better? Some delicious fried spaghetti.
Sounds weird.
Is it good?
Yeah, it's good. I made it.
-[chuckles] -Coach, could you go get him some?
-Okay. -Mm-hmm.
It is blanket boy's recipe, but don't hold that against it.
You wanna sit?
[sighs] I know there are a lot of uncertainties right now.
Yeah.
All I've got in the world is a trailer. And I don't even know if it's still there.
It's, like, every "what if" leads to an even bigger "what if."
You understand.
Thank you, miss.
You know, you're the first person to do something nice for me today.
Well, we're all going through something, Ed.
Here you go.
That's a great kid right there.
Yeah.
[laughing]
-That really happened? -[Zach] Yeah, that actually happened.
-Wait, what else happened? -Well, and then he missed the shot.
-[Ava] Really? -Yeah. And I'm all like, "Let's go!"
[laughs] You're so funny.
Zach, uh, I think Coach Holly is looking for you.
-Till next time. -[Ava] Till next time.
You guys are getting friendly.
Well, look at you.
You're jealous.
-What? -Yeah.
It's whatever.
-I don't care. -Sure. [chuckles]
Well, you don't get to be jealous. I mean, we're not even a thing.
Well, then maybe we should be a thing.
Okay.
Okay-- Okay.
[Marvyn] Happy birthday to my favorite daughter.
When I was little and afraid of the dark,
my mom used this guitar to sing me to sleep.
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was her favorite.
It's one of the few things that I have from her.
And now, I give it to you.
Because your voice is special and I want the world to hear it.
I love you very much.
TCKS. Your favorite dad.
[guitar strumming]
[people chattering]
Look at her.
Oh, and you were worried that she wouldn't be able to handle life's real problems.
She looks happy.
She does.
'Cause she's making other people happy.
Yeah.
She's doing it with a smile and not a scream.
[Holly] Mmm.
I envy that.
You don't have to envy it. You could do it.
[reporter on TV] Fire pushed flames up the canyon.
-Over 40 structures destroyed. -Marvyn, look at this.
Hundreds more threatened. And the fire has jumped the 5 Freeway.
With officials saying the threat to downtown La Jolla is now very real.
It's going to be a long night, folks.
We have learned that crews from Chula Vista, San Diego,
National City and Hartland Fire are among those helping fight this flame.
[siren blaring]
[Destiny] Trevor, stop!
Trevor, what are we doing?
-You can hardly breathe. -I'm fine, okay? We're almost there.
This isn't a game! This is real life.
-You don't just get to res-- -[horn honks]
-Get in this car. -Mom, I'm not arguing this with you.
Damn right, you're not.
You're gonna get in this car, and we're going back to the school right now!
I'm not, okay?
-Mom, I'm worried about Stark! -We're not--
He is going to be okay.
You are my son.
I love you. Get in the car.
Please just listen to your mom, Trevor. She's right. Just get in the car.
[Destiny sobbing]
It's gonna be okay.
I'm sorry about Stark, Trevor.
Hiding out?
Yeah, just taking a breather.
-This should help. -Yeah.
Whoa! [chuckles]
Eighteen-year-old single malt.
It was a gift after I won my second title.
I've been keeping it in my office, waiting for a special occasion, so…
Oh, yeah? Like a natural disaster?
Well, cheers to that.
Cheers.
-Mm-hmm. -Mmm.
You know, that news report isn't good, Marvyn.
I mean, I kind of hate to admit it, but I'm-- I'm a little terrified.
Shake it off.
What? My fear?
Yeah. You give in to it, it'll ruin you.
Is that what you think?
Yeah. It's what I know.
That's the second time you've said that today.
What is that about?
[Marvyn] What?
Your relationship to fear.
Tell me.
My mom died when I was a little boy.
And it was-- It was one of those--
What do they call it? Like a long illness, where she was sick. [mutters]
It was brutal. It just… kept beating her up, beating her up, and she fought.
And she fought so hard till the end.
The day that she died, I was standing out in front of her door.
My dad said, you know,
"Son, go in there and say goodbye.
It might be your last chance.
Don't give in to your fear."
And I tried to--
I tried to go through that door, but I just couldn't. I-- I--
I couldn't move my legs.
And he was right.
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye because she passed away.
He called me a coward.
And he was right.
When I became a father myself to Emma,
I realized it wasn't about me saying goodbye to her.
She didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her boy.
And that must have broke her heart.
And I said, "That's it. That from that moment on, I will never give in to fear."
And I-- I haven't forgiven myself since.
[Holly] Marvyn…
You were just a little boy.
It's okay to be afraid.
-[scoffs] -It is.
It's not a weakness.
Even now.
You don't always have to be the strong one.
[arguing in distance]
-When can we leave and go home? -[evacuee] I don't know!
-If we even have a home! -There are not enough cots in here!
-You're telling me about it! -Why does she get two blankets?
-I don't know. -I wanna know.
-We've been here all day long! -I've been waiting--
-Whoa! All right. -[Marvyn] Calm down.
-Calm down. Calm down, ma'am. -[Marvyn] Hey, guys. How is that helping?
[Holly] Please, ma'am.
-Okay, let me get you a blanket. -Do you know how many blankets I have?
-Marvyn, come here! -What's going on here? One at a time!
[arguing continues]
I wanna go home. I wanna go home.
I know, honey. And we will as soon as it's safe, okay?
She all right?
[sighs] It's just--
It's too much for her. For all of us, really.
-Do you wanna hear a song? -[Holly] One at a time.
[playing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"]
[Holly] Yes, I wanna give you--
[evacuee] Okay, I-- I--
[Holly] Why are you snapping at me?

I've been so hard on you.
Me too.
I'm sorry.
You know, when events like this happen,
it really makes you think about what's important and what isn't important.
I was so proud of you last night.
The whole place was coming apart,
and you come in and sing a song, and you put everyone back together.
It was-- It was magical.
Thank you. And thank you for the beautiful guitar.
I wanted to give it to you for your birthday, but…
[Emma] Yeah.
You know you used to sing me that song when I was little and I couldn't sleep.
Really? I did?
[Emma] Yeah, it's how I know it.
Your grandmother's favorite song.
I remember.
Still think I look like her?
You have her smile.
