Buffy: Previously, on Andi Mack...
I kinda think I'm not really a bracelet guy.
You asked me to make it for you.
I know, but, now when I wear this, it feels like
a girlfriend-y, boyfriend-y thing.
So to sum up, we're not boyfriend, girlfriend.
Could you please put that back where you found it?
Bex: In the trash?
Andi: Which is where it belongs.

No, she doesn't want the time capsule.
She said it'd be like going to her own funeral.
What if you don't bury it?
So we just go, "Here, we made you a time capsule"?
And we didn't bury it, so you can open it anytime.
-What's wrong with that? -Absolutely nothing.
Buffy's (on phone): It's Buffy. You know what to do.
I miss you so much right now!
I would do anything to talk to you.

Well, Sad Buffy was the one who left without saying goodbye.
That's right. That's how we ended up
with Time Capsule Buffy.
Okay, but how did we end up with Real Buffy?

Guess what's not in it?
My mom's new program.
They cut it.
That's so sad.
Yeah, it is. However...
The military gave my mom another job.

Yay!

Hey. It's late. We should get going.
Okay, I'm almost done.
What are you making?
A bracelet for Jonah.
I thought those had been discontinued.
Huh-- Funny thing... it turns out the only times
Jonah and I ever completely understood one another,
it was through the bracelet that I gave him.
When I put it on his wrist, it was me saying, "I like you."
Then, when he took it off, that was him telling me
he doesn't wanna be a couple.
It was a totem.
Yeah. Whatever that is.
It wasn't just any bracelet,
it had some kind of meaningful purpose.
Like you said, it spoke to you.
I had a talking bracelet.
And I threw it away.
Yeah... sounds like me.
(laughs) What if you still had it?
What would you do with it?
I'd give it to Jonah.
He'd know it meant I'm his girlfriend,
he's my boyfriend, and we're a couple.
You think that'll work with a different bracelet?
I don't know.
Well, let me see it.
Hmm... (humming)
hmmm...
Mm. No. It won't work.
How can you tell?
Well, the other bracelet, it was like it had a soul.
I had a totem that had a soul... and a voice.
How could you let me throw that away?

Thank you for not listening to me.
Anytime.
-(grunting) -Ahhhhh-eeee!
No.
Bex: That is on there good.
You know who could probably get it off, though?
Bowie!
I was thinking Jonah.
I've beaten Jonah in arm wrestling.
And I couldn't get it open.
Oh, what do we say, let him try.
Well, I could invite him over.
(gasp) Great idea! I'll set out some snacks!
Where are you going?
To get snacks.
(sighs) This is my least favorite part about texting Jonah.
Wondering what he's gonna say.
Do you really not know?
The guy wrote you a song.
That's true.
And he did come up with the idea for this.
-The time capsule? -Not burying it.
Giving it to you so you could open it any time.
That was Jonah's idea?
He said you made history, and that you should have your basketball jersey.
I can't believe Jonah thought of that and I didn't.
And he got the entire team to sign the basketball.
-Except T.J. -Including T.J.
-He did so much. -He really cares about you.
Hmm.
Tell me, what else is inside?
Some pictures. A Good Hair Crew t-shirt.
(both giggling)
Shoelaces from Marty.
Marty.
I hope he has a girlfriend.
He does.
He does?
Should've taken a little longer to get over me.
(laughs) If it's any consolation,
I never would have.
Cyrus, either.
(sighs) I am so sorry I left without saying goodbye.
But you're back.
That's all that matters.
I kinda don't wanna open Time Capsule Buffy anymore.
Now that I know what's inside her.
You mean... it?
No, I don't.
Well-- Why am I texting Jonah to come over now?
Duh, to give him the bracelet.
Well, that's my real reason, but what's my text reason?
Enough. I'll text him.
What are you gonna say?
That I'm back and I wanna see him.
You're not even gonna mention me at all?
-(text chimes) -Ooh--
(laughing) I already sent it! It's gone!
If you could stop refreshing your email every five seconds,
I'd find that really refreshing.
The coach said he'd send out the team roster at 4 o'clock.
It's 4 o'clock!
It's 3:58.
You still have two minutes.
I'm not going to make the team.
You're gonna make the team.
Don't worry about my feelings.
Be honest with me.
How'd I look at tryouts?
-Honestly? -Please.
You played with commitment and heart,
and I'm sure that that's what they're looking for.
(phone chimes)
Is that the coach?
It's a text from Buffy.
She says she's back.
Is she back?
Did I not mention that?
No, dude, you didn't.
-(phone pings) -Buffy again?
It's the coach.
This is gonna be more good news. We're on a roll!
No, no, no, no.
There must've been some mistake.
(sighs)
That coach is a fool and a buffoon.
This is a senseless decision and he will rue the day he made it.
-It's okay. -This is not okay!
This is the furthest thing from okay.
It gives me a goal.
Something to work towards.
Well, if that's how you feel, then I will stop shouting.
Thanks for being there.
I'm lucky to have you as a friend.
We're both lucky.
Hey, you know what'll make you feel happy?
-Seeing Buffy. -Let's go!
Hey, can I borrow your vest?
For what?
If I'm the elite team's "vest friend," I'll get to know them,
learn the plays, and they'll see how committed I am.
Solid plan, man.
However, I will need to educate you on the various pockets,
and the proper distributions of the products therein.
Maybe I'll just get my own vest.
Um, I understand that you are responsible for this little lady.
I hear you can't get it open.
Want me to give it a shot?
Actually, Andi told me what was inside.
I decided I don't wanna take it apart.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
-What he said. -(all laughing)
Okay, well, if you change your mind,
here are the instructions.
Ahh, it came with instructions.
(laughs)
Oh, can you guys stick around?
Bex is getting snacks, and Andi has something she'd like to tell Jonah.
Did you really have to?
(quietly) You clearly weren't going to.
Hmm...
I-- Yeah-- Outside?
Sure.
What's up?
Well, um-- (clears throat)
It turns out... that... (sighs)
I thought you threw it away.
I thought so, too.
(sighs)
I'm so glad you're smiling right now.
-It's deja vu all over again. -(laughs)
You said this was a girlfriend-y, boyfriend-y thing.
Do you still think that?
Yes.
Do you?
Yeah.
I'm so happy for them.
But for real this time.
It's okay if you're not.
But I am.
That's great.
If you ever feel like talking about it, though--
Buffy, my crush on Jonah...
-Yeah? -It's gone.
Really? When did that happen?
I can't say exactly when it ended.
Today is when I realized it.
Jonah tried out for an elite Ultimate team, and he didn't make it.
Which he probably wouldn't want you to know.
It could not be more irrelevant.
Great. Anyway, he felt bad, so we hugged,
which used to make my heart go, like, ba-boom ba-boom ba-boom ba-boom.
But this time, it was more, (slower) ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.
So, your crush, it just disappeared.
I wouldn't say disappeared, more like, just, changed.
To friendship.
It was my first crush, I don't know how they work.
And you couldn't tell me, 'cause you've never had one, either.
I haven't?
What are you saying?
Nothing.
Have you had a crush?
I haven't had... a crush.
You have one?
As I live and breathe, Buffy Driscoll has a crush!
It's brand new.
It just happened.

Mom can't leave. We're about to open the store.

Ah, first, I'm going to this ashram in India.
What's that?
It's a spiritual retreat where you go to find inner peace.
But you are the most peaceful person in the family.

No idea.
