Olivia carries a pitchfork into the barn, which has loose bits of hay strung about the floor. She passes a sink with a mirror behind it, and something makes her pause and take a closer look. She sees her own reflection and lifts a lock of her hair, as if expecting something different. She leans forward and examines the mirror more closely.

Olivia: Hello?

Just as Olivia is about to back away, a voice booms out, sending her crashing backward.

Ozlin: Hello! I'm Professor Ozlin!

Olivia looks up at the sink and mirror from the floor of the barn, breathing heavily. From outside the barn, a woman's voice calls out.

Olivia's Aunt: Olivia? You be careful with those tools!

SOMEWHERE ELSE:

Yang awakens with a gasp. She is in her room, lying on top of her bed. The robotic arm given to her by General Ironwood rests on her bedside table, out of the box. Yang looks at it for a moment before turning her face away. She hears laughter coming from downstairs. Yang heads downstairs to discover Professors Oobleck and Port sitting at her kitchen table and laughing with her Mom, Summer There's a bowl of fruit at the centre of the table.

Port: And, and, and then, in comes Taiyang, wearing a skirt! I was just a TA, I-I didn't know what to do, so I just... I just left the room to laugh!

Yang comes to the kitchen door while the three laugh.

Summer: We told him it was a kilt! He'd never worn a uniform before, so he didn't know!

Oobleck: That is terrible! What is wrong with you!?

Summer: Hey! The girls all said he had nice legs! I did that jerk a favour! Besides, that's not even the best part! See, then we-

Port puts his right leg on the tabletop, cutting off summer.

Port: "Like what you see?"

The three laugh and Port loses his balance. He tries to save himself from falling but ends up on the floor.

Port: Whoa-oh!

There's even more laughter. Summer claps from mirth and Port joins in the hilarity from the floor. Yang giggles too, covering her mouth, but the three teachers become alerted to her presence. Oobleck stands while Port gets up off the floor.

Port: Oh, uh, Miss Xiao Long! Uh, please, join us.

Yang enters while Oobleck laughs, a little bit embarrassed.

Oobleck: Oh, yes, yes, pull up a chair. Please, pull up a chair.

Yang: I'm good.

She hoists herself backward up onto the kitchen counter, besides where her mother stands. Port and Oobleck sit back down.

Yang: So, what are you doing here?

Oobleck: Despite popular belief, teachers do have a life outside the classroom.

Port: Professor Goodwitch is working 'round the clock to restore Beacon to its former glory! But, Mistral wasn't built in a day. And we all need rest from time to time. Snow also helped but she left.

Summer: Now look, let's not worry about that right now. So, there we were, standing in the auditorium, looking at Taiyang, wearing a skirt. Then Oz tells everyone, "It's time to work on our landing strategy!"

Oobleck: The Branwen twins have always been... interesting, to say the least.

Port: That sure didn't seem to stop young summer.
