"All right, don't look too happy." Julia says as they all stand in the driveway. "You're not getting rid of me forever. Your wicked Aunt Julia is still just a phone call away."

"Thank you for everything." Conrad nods

"I'm glad it worked out."

"We should get going, too." Laurel says

"Oh."

"Uh, a-actually, I was wondering can-can you stay for, like, one more night ?" He says looking to Megan and Laurel. "Come on. We have to help Con study for his final. It's tomorrow."

"Dude, you know I'm 18, right ?" Steven says, "Like, I don't need my mom's permission to..." He trails off as Laurel gives him a look

"Hmm ?"

"I need my mom's permission to study." He nods immediately. Julia and Megan laugh.

"Laurel, please. They're not gonna let me transfer to Stanford if I don't pass this." Conrad says

"You better do more than just pass."

"Yes, ma'am."

"You really got in ?" Belly says

"Yeah." He says as he looks towards Liz who smiles softly at him.

"Does this mean I have to sleep on a sleeping bag tonight ?" Laurel says

"Oh, we've got the motel room for one more night. You two want it ?"

"Oh, heck yes. Thank you."

"Perfect." Aunt Julia says

"Oh, Skye, parting gift." Conrad says as he hands Skye a plate

"Thank you, Conrad, my dear sir."

"My pleasure."

"Mm-hmm."

Liz walks up to Conrad as everyone is hugging each other goodbye.

"Megan letting you stay ?"

"Yeah, of course."

"You really don't have to do this."

"Oh, yeah, no, I know, but, uh, I also know how much Stanford means to you." She smiles, "I mean, you made me proof your essay five times."

"No, I didn't. No, I didn't." He shakes his head

"Yes, you did." She says in a sing-song voice. "Five times." She says holding up five fingers.

"I did." He smiles

"I want to help."

"Okay. Thanks." He nods before he turns back to the house.

Megan walks up with Dakota. "I'm going to go stay with Laurel. You guys gonna be okay ?"

"Of course, we are. When have we ever given you a reason to think we wouldn't ?" Dakota scoffs
