S6E11: The Visitor Pt. 1

Noon
[Jo and Tucker's house]
*Jo heard the door open and ran out of her bedroom. She saw Tucker standing there with his bags. She was so excited for his return home, she ran to him and he picked her up and spun her around.*

Jo: You're home! I missed you so much!

Tucker: I missed you too!

*Just a moment later, Tucker's mom, Sandra walked in. Jo was... shocked.*

Sandra: Oh, you two really are a cute couple!

Jo: Wha-

Tucker: Yup!

*Tucker pulled her in, and hugged her so tight, she couldn't speak.*

Tucker: That's us!

Jo: Uh-

*She pulled away from him.*

Jo: Hi-

Sandra: Jo! It's so nice to finally meet you. Tucker has talked about you so much.

*Sandra and Jo hugged.*

Jo: You too! I've also heard a lot about you...

Sandra: Yes, well. I am just excited to be here this week. To spend time together!

Jo: Yep, so are we. Tucker, can I talk to you for a sec, in the hall?

*She was sarcastically kind.*

Tucker: Sure...

*She yanked his arm out the door and closed it behind him.*

Jo: Um?!

Tucker: Look, okay, let me explain.

Jo: Yeah, please do! Explain why she is here in the first place, and oh, oh! Why she thinks we're a couple!

*She hit his arm.*

Tucker: She knows we were dating, and I tried to tell her we broke up, I did! But she was so happy to see that I was dating someone like you-

Jo: Someone like me?

Tucker: Oh come on, don't make me explain.

*She looked at him, waiting for an explanation.*

Tucker: Successful, pretty...

Jo: Keep going.

Tucker: No! Listen, all I've ever wanted was to please my mom. After she left my dad and I, I was convinced I'd never be good enough for her. But now, I- I don't know. I just got excited that she was so happy for me, so I went along with it. But then she decided she wanted to come to LA to meet you, and see our home I just-

Jo: -couldn't say no.

Tucker: Exactly.

*She took a deep breath.*

Jo: You're really gonna play the "mother left me" card?

Tucker: Yes. Yes, I am.

Jo: Fine. Let's go back in.

Tucker! Yes! Thank you! Thank you, Jo!

*They walked back inside with his arm around her.*

Sandra: Love birds.

Jo: Oh, yeah. I just can't keep away from him!

Sandra: So, who wants to show me my room?

Jo: Oh! Um... we don't really have a spare bed but how about the couch?

Sandra: What about that room right there? That's not the master, is it? It's awfully small.

Jo: Uh... no, it's not the master.
