Scoob wakes to find that he fell asleep on the items from G’ma’s treasure box. He quietly tries to repack it and decides to sneak it back into the main part of the RV without her noticing.
When he asks about calling his dad, G’ma is okay with it, but she admits that she threw her phone away. She asks if he’s seen her treasure box, and he says that he put it in his bunk so that it’s safe. Instead of getting upset, she calls him “responsible.”
He begins to say that he’ll need to call his dad to check in and Shenice to get the homework from school. He then segues to asking about how much school he’ll miss. G’ma avoids the question.
As they drive through Louisiana, G’ma tells him about Ruby Bridges, the first Black person to go to a white school in the south. Scoob realizes that his grandma would’ve gone to an all-white school. They stop for gas and go into the convenience store. The clerk sneers at him and his G’ma, pointing them out to another clerk. They both look at Scoob and G’ma suspiciously. He goes out to the RV, upset.
