I'm a teacher.

It's important to keep up appearances.

Happens to the best of us.

That's an interesting approach,

but if it works for you, go for it.

I'm not just a spectator here.

And we used to be friends.

Maybe if you'd come into the classroom a little bit earlier,

This has nothing to do with Aria and me,

if that's what you're thinking. Then why?

I was trying to get her preferential treatment.

Pass it now.

I guess I just got a little overinvested in being your tutor.

Are they gonna fire her?

The vice-principal wants to talk to my mom about this.

It's not easy to keep things separate.

Yeah. Some role models we are.

You did a very human thing.

Surprised that your mother would want to help a student? No.

Which student? It was anonymous.

Okay. Why?

I'm going to handle it the way that Emily handled it when she found out...

Thank you for the soda.

No, but...

so I thought if I offered him a way out, he'd take it.
