Tumble

Gus, Brandon, Cy, and Addie meet at the diner to discuss the show. Cy lets slip that Manny Bravo is Addie’s father, but Gus doesn’t believe this, especially since Addie refuses to confirm or deny whether he is secretly wrestling as The Eagle. Gus tries to bait Addie, asking if Manny ever takes off his mask. He remembers El Santo never took off his mask in public throughout his career; in fact, the famous luchador died shortly after he removed his mask for the first time, upon his retirement.

The group argues about ideas for the show. Brandon suggests sock puppets, insisting if no one else has better ideas by Monday, they go ahead with his. Gus claims he doesn’t care about art that doesn’t make a statement; he describes all the different movements and activist efforts he was involved with at his previous schools. Addie claims Mrs. González is already making a statement by casting her as Marie. The group continue to discuss ideas, and Addie enjoys the brief moment of ordinariness in her otherwise chaotic life.
