Make History
There's a rumor going around that Aaron has proposed to Izzy. There's a teacher strike. Hannah Wells realizes there's a link between who gets infected with the new virus and how much pigment their skin produces. Seth meets his grown daughter. Emily tests negative for ovarian and breast cancer. Mars's wife now wants to fix their marriage. Izzy learns Aaron Shore was surnamed Rivera until high school and they have a fight about passing. Kirkman finds out about a story online that questions whether Alex's death was an accident or a murder.
Tropes
- Central Theme: National and racial stereotyping.
- Mysterious Cube of Rubik: Kirkman is trying to solve a Rubik's cube while on the toilet.
- National Stereotypes: Aaron and Isabel discuss their Latin heritage and the ridiculous things their teachers and fellow students attributed to it. One of Aaron's history teachers attributed his knowledge of Texan history to his "being a descendant of Santa Anna".
- Precision F-Strike: When Kirkman says "this thing is fucking impossible", he could be talking about the teachers' strike or the Rubik's cube.
- Unwitting Pawn: Essentially what a 16-year-old Aaron was to his aunt when she had him drive undocumented kids across the border from Mexico. He only found out years later.
