Joan and Adam walk outside as she harangues him: "Am I crazy or do you not want me to go with you?" Adam: "What? No!" There are a lot of people in the foreground playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. I'll bet that's all the rage in high schools these days. It occurs to me that we are more than forty episodes into a series featuring high school students and the issue of substance use -- other than Ramsay's little flirtation with alcohol -- has yet to come up. Or am I forgetting something? I don't think so. That seems unusual, no? Adam claims it would be awesome but explains that it's an overnight trip, alluding to the recent awkwardness. Joan admits the concert trip was "a disaster" but thinks this would be different, because it's visiting a school. I don't think I see the difference. Adam stops her and explains, "Listen it's hard for me." Frink, brightly: "Why, yes, it is!" Oh, for -- that's just too easy. He continues as Joan looks uncomfortable, "Us, being in a room alone overnight " Joan seems to finally get it. Adam tries to smooth things over by smiling and saying he'll go to RISD and then they'll hang out Sunday. She nods, but looks real sad. He kisses her quickly and leaves.
