Today Skylar was actually going to work since Robin was scheduled to be with Steve and her. "Long time no see." Robin smiles as Skylar come in. "I was gonna talk to you at the game but..." Skylar glances over at Steve working. "I get it." Robin looks over at him. "So did you at least talk to Vicki?" Skylar grabs her arm. "Yeah, I saw you two talk for a little bit." Steve walks over to them. "She heard me say Tammy does sounds like a Muppet then she laughed. And it wasn't a like a cheap, fake laugh either. It was like... It was a real, genuine laugh." Robin tells them as they put up movies. "Of course. It's my Muppet joke. It's hilarious." Steve says making Skylar roll her eyes. "My point is Vicki laughed and everything was just like... it was perfect."

"But?" They both ask her. "But I'm having this problem where it's like, I should stop talking. I have said everything I need to say. But then I guess I get nervous, and the words keep spilling out, and it's like my... my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or... or rather my... my mouth is moving faster than my brain. I'm digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I'm trying to stop, but I can't. And I'm doing it right now, aren't I?" Robin rants so Steve and Skylar stop to stare at her. "Yeah, you are." They tell her. "I'm hopeless." Robin leans against the wall as Skylar goes to the other side of the store to put movies away while Steve joins Robin, "Eh. We both are." He watches Skylar work.

"If only we could just, like, combine." Robin looks at him. "Combine?" He asks confused. "No, think about it. I know exactly what I want, and I've found the girl of my dreams, but I can't get the courage to ask her out. Meanwhile, you go on a million dates. And you have no idea what you want. Well you do but you don't know how to get it back..." Robin explains to him and he agrees. "So if we just combined, all our problems would be solved. Because, I mean, alone, let's face it..." She says. "We totally suck." He agrees. "Totally and utterly. Ooh, I think I found our morning movie." Robin leaves him.

"Doctor Zhivago." Robin grabs the movie. "You know Steve doesn't do double VHS." Skylar rejoins the two. "But it's about doomed love." She tells them and under their breath they say it's relatable. "Precisely." Robin hears both of them. "Also, Julie Christie is b-b-bonkers hot in this. Like, seriously, the most beautiful creature. I have ever seen in my life." Robin turns on the tv. "We're in the Forest Hills trailer park in east Roane County." Skylar's head snap towards the tv. "We don't have a lot of details now, but we can confirm that the body of a Hawkins High student was discovered early this morning. Police have not released the name although we are told they're currently in the process of notifying the family." The reporter says.
