Hey, I'm Rue. I'm an addict.
Hi, Rue.
And I've been clean for 60 days. [V.O.] For the record, I'm not not telling the truth. I've actually been doing really well. Because the morning after that whole drug-dealer-face-tattoo fentanyl excursion, I... got in a little bit of trouble... for disappearing for, like, 16 hours.
[Rue finds her mother sitting at the dining room table while trying to sneak back into her house]
Where have you been?
I'm sorry. My phone died.
Bullshit. You're doing drugs.
I'm not doing drugs.
Then where have you been? And why weren't you answering your phone? Why are you sneaking into the house?
I was with someone.
Who?
It... It doesn't matter, Mom.
It matters, Rue. It matters. You're doing drugs. [sees Gia walking out of her bedroom] Gia, go back to sleep.
Rue, are you... Are you okay?
I'm fine. You can go back to sleep.
She's okay, baby, okay? Go to bed. Good night. [to Rue after Gia leaves] I will not allow you to walk up into this house at 5:30 in the morning and lie to my face. So tell me the truth right now. Where were you?
I don't wanna have to tell you everything that's going on in my life. If you wanna drug test me, just drug test me. [V.O.] She wasn't the only person upset with me.
[Cut to Rue hanging out with Jules]
I'm not kidding, Rue. I'm not trying to become best friends with someone who's gonna fucking kill themself.
I know. I didn't mean to do this.
I've been through, like... enough traumatic shit in my life that I don't... I can't, like–
I get it. I get it.
I don't wanna be around you if you don't stop using drugs.
Okay.
I mean it.
I know. I'll stop. I promise. I just need you to do me a favor. You're not gonna like it.
[Cut to Leslie performing a drug test in the bathroom with Rue. Unbeknownst to her, she is testing Jules' urine, which causes the test to come out negative.]
You're still grounded until I don't even fucking know.
What else is there? I told you I wasn't lying.
