TODD: Okay, we're here. So, I forget am I NOT asking her, or...
AMANDA (vo): ASK ASK ASK!!!
SFX: knock knock
UNKNOWN VOICE: ACK!
ANDI (VO): Oh crap, that must be Todd.
UNKNOWN VOICE: Already?! AAAH!
AMANDA: What's going on...?
SELKIE: Who's that?
TODD: ...Hey, girls, do me a favor?
TODD: Can you both go to the lobby and get some snacks from the vending machine?
AMANDA: Huh? Why?
TODD: ... To bribe your mother. For the water park.
AMANDA: YES! Finally, Dad's talking my language!

No, the mystery "ACK" voice is not Cathy.
Andi… having your hookup still at the place when the kid is due home is not a good look…
In her defense.. as an introvert, I always text people when I’m heading towards their place and I expect people to text me before they come to my place.. surprise visits aren’t fun for anyone.
Unless one is a flaming screaming 6th standard deviation EXtrovert. Visitors! Yay!!
Todd is dropping off Amanda, it’s not a surprise visit. Unless Andi spoke with Todd and asked him to text her first, this is 100% on Andi.
Someone got caught. XD
If someone we know is in there, I’m guessing it’s either Andi’s mom or Jessie.
Out of those 2 options, it would 100% be Jessie. From what we’ve seen of her, Andi’s mom would neither be caught off guard nor ashamed by this turn of events, and I would fully expect Andi would’ve texted or called Todd to give a heads up that “not-grandma” was there (unless she was so caught up in a rage-rant for however long that she completely blanks on informing him)
I know Andi said “That must be Todd,” but if it’s Patricia that’s in there, it’s probably less “Todd’s here” and more “Todd’s here with Amanda”. Based on their reactions, Andi probably expected her mom (or whoever’s in there) to be gone before Todd showed up, so she didn’t think to let him know.
If it was Jessie, both girls would have recognized her voice, said she’s a teacher in their class.
This sounds like either Andi is having a nooner, or Andi and somebody else is making a surprise – either for Todd or for Amanda, or for both – and they weren’t ready for Todd and Amanda to get there yet.
A nooner? The previous page suggests it’s night.
I’m thinking Todd recognized the voice, and he’s expecting a scene so that’s why he sent the girls away.
Todd recognized the situation and had the presence of mind to keep the girls from walking in to it. Quick thinking on his part.
I’m hoping Andi’s Mom isn’t there. DX That’s some drama no one’s ready for just yet. Probably won’t be for a few years.
…I’m reminded of when Todd first took Selkie home, to find his parents waiting for them. Somehow I feel like this won’t be as joyful.
It’s the Martians from Mars Attacks.
Bug-eyed aliens, they want our women! Mars attacks, oouff, cheese! That’s a stab from the past.
Smooth one, Todd. Now I hope Andi won’t see your disappointment as jealousy.
The timing of that hook-up: “Kid won’t be home for hours”… hoo-boy.
I remember a time where my ex would bring my son early and a lady friend was still there… things did not go well.
Wanna place bets on whether whatever situation is going on in Andi’s house causes him to forget to ask? 😛
