Fear of Rain

Hey! Stop!

Stop! Stop! He's coming.

Hang on.

Stop! You're making it worse! Stop!

- Don't tie her down! Stop! - Go ahead.

The medicine makes her a zombie.

Of course, she's gonna try to wean herself off of it.

It doesn't make any sense.

Here's your checklist, rain.

Is this possible?

Yes. Could it exist here?

Is anyone else reacting?

It's been years, and that's the best you can do?

- Yes. - You're a doctor!

Jumping to anger isn't helping.

I'm sorry. It's not your fault.

It's just... She said she was feeling better.

We see that regularly with schizophrenia.

Patients take their medicine, feel better, and then think they can go off it.

But it can't be cured.

She's gonna be an adult.

And then what? I'm supposed to lock her in a room

- for the rest of her life? - John.

What? Is there...

Another way? What?

Short of admitting her into a psychiatric facility...

- No! - Absolutely not!

To an atypical antipsychotic,

which may have fewer side effects.

Hey, baby.

Is this happening?

John, she's awake.

Hey, baby.

- Hanging in there? - Yeah. Okay.

Maintenance staff,

please call extension 405.

Maintenance staff, please call extension 405.

Can I get you anything?

Rain?

Rain?

Didn't you say you wanted something to sketch with?

Um, wait.

Could I have a pencil?

- We can't give... - Just a soft sketch pencil.

I'll get you some crayons.

Dr. lin, dial 447. Dr. lin, 447.

I don't know what to say.

Whatever comes to mind.

Nothing?

Too much.

Well, let's start with what you remember then.

Do you recall anything that triggered it?

Um...

I'm... I don't... I... I don't... I remember...

Going upstairs and then being on the bus.

But you never left your house.

I was in the woods, though. There was a man chasing me.

Rain, these episodes get increasingly worse

each time you try going off your meds.

You just... you don't... You don't understand. I...

I get that the medicine could make me, like, more stable or whatever but I...

It makes me feel like a zombie.

And I-I can't paint, if I can't feel anything.

We can try experimenting until we find

- the right com... - Experimenting?

- I'm not... I'm not a lab rat. - Not taking it is not an option.

One more misstep and the state's going to institutionalize you, rain.

It's not fair.

People see and hear god.

No one thinks they're nuts.

That's not the same thing.

Why not?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, monkey. Everything's fine.

Jack of all trades.

Yeah. Master of none.

Mom, what's wrong?

It's been a rough week.

- I'm sorry. - No, no, no.

It's just... your dad and I handle things differently.

Let me know if you need anything.

Looking forward to having you back in class, rain.

Grandma and grandpa?

Who else?

It didn't work.

I'll let you tell them that.

And for what it's worth,

they sent me good luck balloons when I told them

I wanted to open my own restaurant.

Yeah, look how that ended up.

Sold out.

Rain?

Hey. Hey, baby. It's gonna be okay.

- Just... - Stop! Get off!

Hey.

Don't worry about all this, okay?

I'll get it fixed up.

Oh, it's okay, monkey. It's okay.

Hey. Why don't you stay in the guest room till I'll get it all put back together.

All right?

This is my fault.

You have not lost me, brother.

You like strawberry pomegranate? Are you cool with that?

Yeah. Just a normal pbj is fine, dad.

It's normal, it's just, like, spruced up.

- Dad, I'm sure it's fine. - I put my magic touch on it.

Hey...

- I know you're... - I've missed this.

You're on your way out the door and stuff...

- Dad. - But I want you to know that

- if you need to chill... - Dad.

- And maybe going to school... - Dad, dad.

You might feel a little bit...

Dad, I love you and I understand that you're worried...

But I'm good. You've gotta let me try, okay?

Okay.

It's not like I'm on drugs or anything.

Best jelly I ever had.

It's jam, it's made from fruit pulp.

Have a great day, sweetheart.

- Love you. Bye. - Bye. I love you.

Uh, okay. We've got a lot to cover if any of you

have a hope in hell of passing your finals.

Welcome back, rain.

Care to join us? Come on.

So, I gotta see more quotes in your essays.

I mean, you can't just say "heathcliff is a psycho."

I mean, uh...

Uh, well...

You can't just say, "heathcliff is a sadistic ass

because he spent his entire life pining after his childhood crush

and plotting against the man she ends up marrying."

And I'm not disagreeing with you.

But back up your claims.

Let's get textual.

Okay? Got it?

Do we see nodding heads? Yeah, please.

Good. All right. Let's get going.

Chicken and guacamole.

Sorry, it's just... I have a strict diet. Medical stuff.

I don't know. I was just so annoyed, and like...

Hey. I tried calling you the other day.

I like your necklace. It's cool.

It's a choker.

Oh.

Um, do you mind if I sit with you guys?

Oh, no room. Sorry.

Not for all those personalities.

- That's not what... - Careful.

She might go all Carrie on us.

Whoa.

Yeah, you wouldn't even believe half the things I've seen.

I heard she tried to kill herself.

She just does it for attention.

Hey.

I'm Caleb. You wanna pick a card, any card?

I know it's cliche, but come on, do it anyways.

Come on, rain.

You-you know what, just-just take one.

You know, it's-it's tarot, so it's a little more difficult.

Do you remember it?

- Mm-hmm. - Throw it back in the deck.

Really gotta stop talking.

I don't like magic.

Well, you're in luck because this isn't magic, this is skill.

All right, tap the top of the deck. Just give it a little...

See, this is the really interactive part where I just distract you,

that way you're really impressed when I swap it out

and you flip over your card and that's yours.

- What? It's not yours? - Mm-mm.

No, no. I'm kidding. I know that.

I just gave you that one as a gift to, you know,

balance out your own, which is under your bottle.

Where you from? Why haven't I seen you around?

What is this, 20 questions?

Five, so far actually. But...

Um, I've been out sick.

I mean, you're new. Where are you from?

Uh...

Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Arkansas, new Mexico.

Uh, must suck, leaving your friends.

Um, uh, I gotta go do a bunch of makeup work.

'Cause I've been out. Sorry. I gotta go.

All right. Well, hey, if you ever, you know,

you wanna hang out sometime and grab a cup of coffee, that'd be...

Oh, I can't drink coffee. Coffee makes me...

Oh. Well, me neither. So, yeah, we... you know,

if you ever wanna hang out and grab a cup of non-coffee,

that'd be... that'd be fun.

Rain?

Rain?

I was just saying hi.

Looks like you're up.

Hi, um, picking up for rain burroughs.

B-u-r-r-o-u-g-h-s.

Yeah, you know, as much as I would love to,

I don't... I don't think now's a good time to be...

Starting up something like that, so...

Yeah. No, I've been wanting to get back into it.

It's just work's been hectic and...
