I've got something to drop on you.
Okay.
I'm transitioning.
Wolf: I-I know how potentially wild this ride can be.
It's just a lot to process today.
Sabi: Oh my God, Mackenzie.
It's actually good to see you.
7ven: I can see that you are enchanted by Mackenzie,
but please don't choose her.
Imam: It's important not to grieve too much.
I will try to find the right amount.
Mom-
Oh no, you're pregnant.
Actually, yeah, I'm pregnant.
I've started taking hormones for my gender transition.
I'm sorry.

I only called you twice this morning.
Aqsa [on phone]: More like three times in half an hour.
So?
You get such freaky news about the pregnancy
and expect me not to worry?
Aqsa [on phone]: Worrying about me isn't gonna help anyone.
Bye. Love you.

Wolf: Hello?
Wolf: Hey.
Oh, um, come in?
7ven just buzzed me right up
and then went back to bed.
Looked like she was sleepwalking.
Mm, wow.
If she's letting people into the apartment
in her sleep-
Yeah, we're gonna have to have a house meeting
about that.
Hi.
I'm trying to formulate an articulate way
to express what I'm thinking.
I left you hanging when you told me about
medically transitioning.
It doesn't freak me out.
Um... it's just because of my dad
all this stuff is, you know,
wrapped up in triggering stuff.
Yeah, I get that.
The transitioning part doesn't freak me out.
Thank you for saying that.
Ah... I, I know you don't mean to be this way
but you're not the most,
or-or you haven't been...
with me the most...
stable person.
Like, um, psychologically?
No, no, no, no, no. Um...
I was thinking about the word "stability"
in a non-mental health context.
It's just, it's hard to know
what's gonna come next with you.
From you.
Out of you.
Yeah, that would be tough to know.
I also don't know what's gonna come out of me or you
or, like, anyone.
Um...
Please open this.
Maybe it can fix this awful vibe.
Sabi: It's my head.
I think I'm in for the ride.
Is what I'm saying overall.
You think?
Yeah.
You're not sure?
I'm allowed to have uncertainties.
Am I?
I don't get it. Um...
Are you-are you upset about the gift?
No.
This perception that, like,
you're the stable one in this relationship
is what's upsetting.
Constantly being okay with everything is actually
you trying to control literally everything, Wolf.
In case that hasn't dawned on you yet.
So if, yeah, me stumbling around
like every fucking human on this planet,
including yourself,
is like too much for you
then maybe you should consider whether or not
you wanna be in this.
This is a lot!
Yeah, I know!
This is confusing!
I'm so upset about what's going down right now.
Wow, an emotion.
The world is ending!
That was mean.
Not meaner than being called unstable!
Wolf!
[phone ringing]
[knocking on door]
Kween, what's happening?
Wolf and I had a massive fight.
Okay, what about?
He called me unstable.
Also my mom's not doing too good.
Then why? Wait, one thing at a time.
I, I called her back an hour after she called me
and she didn't pick up.
She has never not answered one of my calls.
That doesn't sound like a thing.
Tell me about Wolf.
Kween.
Kween! The 'mones be ragin'!
Don't do that!
What?
Blame emotions on my hormones!
Fair.
But there's a chance it might partly be that.
I don't know what went down with Wolf
but I'm pretty sure your mom not answering her phone for a beat
means literally nothing.
Sabi: I just have a feeling, okay?
7ven: You need to find a deep chill, my love.
Come!
Watch 'Real Housewives of Potomac' with me.
Eh, but not here 'cuz, uh...
Mackenzie's throwing you a surprise gender reveal party
and she needs prep time.
Wait, what?
Sorry.
Mackenzie?
Isn't she still cis?
A cis person throwing a gender reveal party
is not ironic or cool.
How could you be letting this happen?
The party sounds like it has potential rager vibes
and we haven't had a housewarming!
Mackenzie's doing all the work!
I'm gonna go check to see if my mom
hasn't jumped off a bridge.
She's not jumping off a bridge.
When I come back
this party better be completely and fully un-alived.
Understood?

Trick question!
Sabi was born here. You know nothing.
Why do I bother you so much?
Cuz.
Why are you trying so hard to be in with Sabi?
Because I like them and I'm a try-er.
Does it have to be more complicated than that?
Who'd you invite to your pushy party anyway?
I compiled a list by studying engagements
with Sabi's socials.
Aw, that's invasive.
Ah, Wolf, Aqsa, Izzy, Paul, Bessy, Loki-
Whoa, whoa.
Sabi dated Loki for like ten minutes in grade twelve.
No to Loki. Continue.
Marine. - They're cool.
Pat. - Sabi still talks to Pat?
I dunno. It seems like it.
Continue. - Rino.
And who in this wide earth is Rino?
Damn. That creature again.
Come.
Ah, Rino went to electrician school with Sabi.
It would be fully traumatising for them to walk in and bam!
Rino! So that can't happen.
