American Grafruity

Cut to Lindsay, arriving back in the 1920s with her boss. This time, as a waitress leads them to their booth, Lindsay's surprised to find Harrison hanging out at the bar. He's all, "What a surprise it is to find you here!" Lindsay's smiles one of those fake "for the love of God, please go away!" smiles. Harrison rakishly pretends that he's happy to see Lindsay and gives her a big fake hug. He introduces himself to Mr. Handsy and then invites himself to dinner with them. Lindsay doesn't tell him that this is a business meeting and he's not invited, which is inexplicable, inasmuch as she allegedly hates Harrison. I mean, how does it make her look more professional if she can't find a way to diplomatically deal with a work interference?

Cut to the booth, where Harrison is sitting between Lindsay and Mr. Handsy, telling them a story that ends with, "So anyway, that's the most I ever puked." Oh, Harrison; if you ever get tired of flirting with your sister, I know the perfect guy for you. Mr. Handsy excuses himself to go grab the bartender's thigh or whatever. After he's gone, Lindsay accuses Harrison of deliberately trying to sabotage drinks with the boss, which again points out how stupid it was of her to let Harrison join them. Harrison claims that he's helping her, and that he knew somebody who used to work for Mr. Handsy who said the after-hour drinks thing was an excuse to get some employee action. Lindsay doesn't believe him, of course.

So the kids have all gathered together for the drag race. In the middle of a street. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. Nobody uses streets during the day, right? And the police will never know. And of course, rather than calling the police to bust up the race, Tru instead tries to convince Adam to call it off. Well, if the police are so worthless here that kids can close off the streets and drag race down them in the middle of the day, they're probably not going to be of much help. Anyway, Adam can't be talked out of the race. Adam recognizes that Derek hates him, but he's got that figured out, too. He turns to Derek (did I neglect to mention that they're having this argument right in front of him and his car?) and tells him he's ready to ride as long as they both have "insurance." He explains that they each pick a friend of their opponent's, who rides with them in the car. Derek picks the Exposition Boy from earlier. Adam, of course, picks Jen. So now Tru thinks this is when they're going to die, even though THE CRASH HAPPENED AT NIGHT and it's currently THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. Tru tries to convince them to call it off, but they don't listen. Derek drives off with Exposition Boy, and Adam drives off with Jen. Tru walks over to Amy and notices that she looks upset. She responds, "How should I look when somebody I love is doing something stupid?" She says she doesn't want to watch the race, and wanders away.
