DIRECTOR: Cut!
[BELL RINGS]
Thirty-minute lunch.
This is a hot set.
No one is permitted outside.
Jenny! Where's my smoothie?
How are you feeling?
I'm exhausted.
I can't believe
my call time was 10 a.m.
Wait, do I look tired?
You look gorgeous.
Lavender or eucalyptus?
Obviously.
So Mac spoke to a reporter
about the contest,
and she wants a quote.
Mac can handle.
Oh, my gosh, you were terrific.
You looked amazing.
You sounded amazing.
You are amazing.
Are you kidding me with this?
I need to spend the next month
rehearsing for the tour,
not babysitting a bunch
of teenaged contest winners.
The label wanted to kick off the
release with a major promotion.
You... We.
- -agreed to this months ago.
Don't worry,
we'll handle everything, right?
Yes, everything.
Everything.
[HORNS HONKING]
What are you watching?
Can you teach me that
Fancy G song called "Louder"?
I wanna audition
for the contest.
Can you teach me how to play it?
Um, sure.
I think it goes like this,
in the key of D-flat.
[PLAYING "LOUDER" ON GUITAR]
Turn it up like a radio
Hands up and away we go
Boom, boom, baby
You got the room
Room crazy
Shock waves coming
Out your ears
Earthquake
Now you know I'm here
Boom, boom, baby
I make a move, move daily
Oh, wow, who's that?
She's here
Make way, make room
No fear
When I do it like that
I'm gonna do it like that
There's no mistaking
When I bring the sound
You gonna hear it loud
But I can get louder
I can get louder
Like the thunder pounds
You won't drown me out
I can get louder
[MOUTHING]
I can get louder
La, la, la, la, la, loud
La, la, la, la, la, loud
Louder
La, la, la, la, la, loud
La, la, la, la, la, loud
Louder
You sure you don't
wanna help pick them?
Nope. Not really.
Right. Of course.
I'll handle it.
[SIGHS]
Just pass me the microphone
Step back
When I'm in my zone
Buzz, buzz, baby
I'm the queen G crazy
Heh-heh!
No, you ain't heard
Nothing yet
Listen up and don't forget

Who made the beat drop?
Shout it from the rooftop
Oh, wow, who's that?
She's here
Make way, make room

ALL: When I do it like that

JENNY:
Hello.
Are you Lexi? Here you go.
I work with Fancy G.
You made the top ten.
Oh, my...
I'm Jenny, I work with Fancy G.
Congratulations.
You made the cut.
You've been chosen
as one of the contestants.
Maya? This is
on behalf of Fancy G.
I'm with Fancy G.
Here's your glitter invitation.
Oh, hi. Brit!
Is Brit there?
Brit! Yeah!
[LAUGHS]
Thank you.
[SCREAMS]
Oh, my...
We did it! We did it!
[GIGGLES]
[SQUEALS, GIGGLES]
Thank you.
Thank you.
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
Dad! I'm going to L.A.!
[SCREAMS]
Oh, my gosh!
Louder
[]
Whoa!
[GIRLS MURMURING]
[GASPS]
Nice kicks. Houston, huh?
Yeah.
I was there for
a math decathlon last year.
Yeah, H-Town. I'm Alex.
Where are you from?
Maya. Atlanta.
Heh, no way.
My aunt and uncle live there.
Really?
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
And how about you?
Charlie, from Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, that's sick.
This house is sick.
Yeah. Right?
I'm sorry,
this is where we're staying?
We're sleeping here?
In Fancy G's house?
[GASPING EXCITEDLY]
No. Uh, but don't worry.
You'll be staying down the road
at Fancy G's other property,
the Laurel Canyon Inn.
No way!
Fancy G completely remodeled it
for her own private getaway.
That's right.
You know your stuff.
I'm literally her biggest fan.
For real, I'm president of the
Michigan Fancy G Fan Club, so...
Okay, then. Uh, well, welcome.
I'm Mac, Fancy G's manager,
friend, compadre,
part-time therapist
and champion.
Also, I'd like to think
that I had
a little something to do
with Fancy G's amazing career.
And you all have met Fancy G's
executive assistant, Jenny.
Hi again, everyone. If you need
anything, you just let me know.
Okay.
Before you introduce yourself,
there is someone
who is dying to meet you.
Follow me, ladies.
[]
[GASPS, LAUGHING]
Whoa.
[GIRLS MURMURING]
We're doing this.
Are we ready?
Mm-hm.
[GIRLS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
Whoa, heh.
Dah, dah,
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Diamonds, see me shining
Now we're covered in diamonds
Diamonds...
[GIRLS CHEERING, LAUGHING]
What's up, girls?
Oh, my gosh, she's so amazing.
She's so gorgeous.
She's so perfect.
[QUIETLY] You owe me for this.
[WHISPERS] I know.
Okay.
"I'm so honored
to have all of you here.
I don't want you
to think of this as a contest,
but rather an audition.
Each and every one of you
is fiercely talented.
And just remember, if you don't
make it to the final show,
it only means
it's not your time... yet.
First, we'll get you settled,
then, we'll have
a set of star challenges.
And after each challenge,
one of you will go home.
The final girl standing
will open for me
in my worldwide
livestreamed concert event.
This isn't about
discovering a star.
This is about discovering
a triple threat.
This talented person
needs to not only have it all,
this girl needs to be tough.
Fame isn't always easy,
and you have to be ready to face
not only your fans
but your critics."
[GIRLS APPLAUDING]
[SIGHS]
For real, having thin skin
is not an option.
So do you guys really want this?
ALL: Yes.
Yes!
Seriously, this is not a joke.
The pressure can be intense.
You think I get a pass
if I misstep? 'Cause I don't.
This is not just fun and games.
This is a job.
Uh... Yeah.
I thought this was gonna be
more, like, chill, you know?
Like a vacation.
This sounds like a lot of work.
I don't think this is for me.
Oh, okay.
Oh.
Wait. Is she for real?
[FANCY G SCOFFS]
Wow.
[MAC CLEARS THROAT]
Okay. Uh, well, heh,
you all know Fancy G.
Why don't you all
introduce yourselves to her?
Heart.
Nice shirt.
Hey. You got this.
Talk.
[ALL SNICKER]
Yeah. Uh, I'm Charlie.
What's your favorite Heart song?
"Crazy on You."
The guitar solo in the opening
blows my mind.
Right? Nancy Wilson is, like,
the most underrated guitarist
in rock history.
I always say that.
Mmm.
This whole look
is definitely working.
Thank you. I created
and designed it myself.
I make a lot of my own clothes.
I'm Brit,
and it's an honor to be here.
[SHOUTS] You're Annie!
[GASPS]
I'm Annie! I mean,
I think I'm Annie. Ha!
Yeah. I'm definitely Annie.
I'm from Ann Arbor.
Annie from Ann Arbor.
Michigan, heh.
Try saying it five times.
Annie from Ann Arbor.
Annie from Ann Arbor.
Annie!
[HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAK]
You know my name.
[ANNIE SQUEAKS, GASPS]
Fancy G knows my name!
Annie, you gotta chill out.
Can you breathe?
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Yeah, I'm breathing now.
Okay. Just keep doing that.
[EXHALING DEEPLY]
[]
JENNY: Welcome to
the Laurel Canyon Inn.
GIRL: Smells good.
Heh, yeah.
[GIRLS MURMURING]
Isn't it just magical?
Wow, you packed a lot.
Oh, yeah, you know,
a girl's gotta be prepared.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
JENNY:
Built in 1964, at its height,
this was a regular hangout
for all the coolest
and most influential musicians
at the time.
Our chaperones will be on-site
full-time to keep you safe,
and our staff is here to help
with anything you need.
Is there room service?
Yes.
We have award-winning chefs
and a 24-hour room service menu
available.
So we can order, like,
anything we want, any time?
Yeah.
And we have a fitness center.
A double cheeseburger
with bacon at 2 a.m.?
Lobster just because?
Ice cream for breakfast?
I'll have to see about that.
Ooh!
Um, you'll be sharing bungalows,
and your rooms have
already been assigned.
[GASPS]
JENNY:
Brit?
Oh.
I love bungalows.
I mean... wow.
Okay. Yeah. Heh.
[WHISPERING] What are you doing?
[WHISPERS] I love you.
Go home.
We're all in Bungalow 4?
Actually?
Actually.
[GIRLS MURMURING]

[ALEX GASPS]
MAYA [CHUCKLING]:
Wow.
It's so amazing.
ALEX: Heh, this is sick.
Wow, this is so cool.
I can't believe we're all here.
[LAUGHING]
Oh, we're in L.A.!
CHARLIE: Ooh.
MAYA: I know, right?
[MAYA & ALEX GIGGLING]
[SIGHS]
[LAUGHING]
[GIGGLES]
JENNY:
Keep up the good work, ladies.
You got this.
I so don't.
They need to realize
it's not just about singing.
You need to be able
to dance on-stage
at 120 beats per minute
for two hours.
They're just briskly walking
right now.
How do you even know
they're walking?
You haven't looked up
from your phone once.
I did.
They're briskly walking.
They're gonna learn
about getting in shape
when they meet JJ Sparks.
They're meeting
with my choreographer?
Who's paying for that?
I'm not paying for that.
Am I paying for that?
[SIGHS]
Ugh, so nervous
in the challenges.
If someone doesn't make it, it
just means it's not their time.
She was just being nice.
No offense, but my mom says
there's not room at the top
for everyone.
She's right.
I didn't come here to play.
I came here to win.
This isn't summer camp.
[OWL HOOTS]
Well, 'night, y'all.
It's been a long day.
Yeah. I'm gonna get to bed.
ANNIE:
Good night.
Sleep tight!
[ALL CHUCKLE]
[ALL SNICKERING]
Okay, so am I, like,
the only one
that is completely intimidated
by everyone and everything here?
Thank you, yes.
I'm totally freaked out.
Same.
Same, heh-heh.
How long have you been playing?
Oh, jeez, since forever.
I never had lessons though.
My dad just showed me,
and I kind of picked it up.
My parents put me
in piano lessons when I was 5,
but honestly, I've always loved
singing more than anything.
I've always loved
doing everything.
Singing, dancing, guitar, piano.
Probably good at all of it.
Right.
Sure, but...
[ALL LAUGHING]
[POPPY WILDE'S "ALL THE WAY"
PLAYING]
My hair is, like,
gonna get in the fire.
Wherever you're going
Wherever your heart is
You're only one step away
From where you wanna be
Hope that you're holding
Light in the darkness
Only one dream away
From what you wanna see
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What you wanna see...
[ALL LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY]
Don't stop
Following the sun
Take each moment
As it comes
A brand-new day
Has just begun
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Oh, my darling
Don't lose your way
Keep on going
Keep going
If there's a chance
Then it's yours to take
Keep on going
Keep going
All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way
All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way
Wherever you're going
Wherever your heart is
You're only one step away
From where you wanna be
So today is about showing off
your dance skills.
But unfortunately,
someone will have to go home.
Hello, ladies.
You didn't have
to be here today.
He's my choreographer.
Okay. All right.
[GASPS]
JJ Sparks!
Well, JJ, looks
like you already have a fan.
You choreographed
Fancy G's videos
and the Super Bowl
halftime show.
You're like the most amazing
choreographer in the world.
I only hire the best.
What's your name?
I'm Alex.
All right, Alex,
do you know all the dance moves
to Fancy G's video "Louder"?
Know it? My dance team
won regional's doing it.
Ooh, look at you.
Okay, Miss Regionals, you ready
to show off your moves?
All right. Come on.
[SNAPPING]

[ECHOING]
Are you okay?
Oh, man, she got acquainted
with that wall quite well.
Yeah.
Can you hear us?
FANCY G:
Hello?
I really shouldn't be here.
What are you talking about?
I'm actually not a performer.
I mean, I can do a really great
impression of you.
I'm covered in diamonds...
I get it. I get it.
Yeah, but I'm a terrible dancer.
I mean, I can't create music.
And I'm your biggest fan.
More than anything, I just
really wanted to meet you.
Well, that was bold of you
to admit all of that.
I like bold.
As a matter of fact,
I think I need someone bold
to be the president
of my international fan club.
But I'm really sorry, it's just
you don't have
an international fan club.
She does now.
[ANNIE GASPS,
THEN LAUGHS SOFTLY]
Are we gonna dance or what?
Let's make a circle!
ALEX: Yeah!
Come on!

Hundred dollar bills, y'all

That I gotta get mine
In a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64
Whatever it is
The party's underway
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear
The party say
I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
This is how we do it
South Central does it
Like nobody does
This is how we do it
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
This is how we do it...
Get in there.
No.
This is how we do it...
[ALL LAUGHING]
Yes, you do. Get in there!
This is how we do it
South Central does it
Like nobody does
This is how we do it
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
This is how we do it
I'll never come back
On an old-school track
Oh, my gosh.
This is how we do it

South Central does it

I did not see that coming.
Me neither.
Okay. Well, we had some
killer moves in here today.
I agree.
And since some of us
are not eligible,
the winner

Is Alex.

WANDA [WHISPERS]:
Psst, here.
Hi.
It's me.
[WHISPERING] Mom.
Mom, you... What are you...?
You can't be here.
You're gonna get us
both in trouble.
Tell me how today went, honey.
Did you wow them?
Are we on the path to victory?
EMPLOYEE: Are you okay?
WANDA: Oh!
I'm just grabbing a towel.
Thank you, sir.
No problem.
Good night.
[WHISPERS] 'Night.
[]
Sorry. Did I wake you up?
No, I couldn't sleep.
I can't either.
I was just thinking.
I mean, I didn't even send in
my own audition.
My 9-year-old student did.
Heh, really?
But now that I'm here,
I really wanna stay.
Today was the most amazing day
of my life.
Yeah. I don't wanna go either.
Not to get all, like, cheesy,
but I feel like
we've known each other forever.
Same.
Same.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
I'm sort of a loner
back at home.
I think everyone thinks
I'm the weird record-store girl.
Better than
the mathlete super-nerd.
Whenever anyone at school
has any kind of problem
with math or science,
they're always like, "Ask Maya."
And I'm like,
"Guys, there's more to me
than equations, people." Heh.
And you are probably the most
popular girl at your school.
Heh, probably.
Stop.
[GIGGLING]
I mean, maybe,
but nobody really knows me.
The real me, you know?
Totally.
[ALL LAUGH]
You know,
for the first time in my life,
I actually feel like I belong.
Well, let's make sure
none of us go home.
But only one of us can win.
Then let's make sure
we're the last three standing.
Are you guys hungry?
Yes, kind of.
Yeah. Hungry.
[ALL GIGGLING]
Hey. They did say
we can order anything we want,
24 hours a day.
CHARLIE: True.
Ooh!
Oh, I'm so excited.
I can't wait.
ALEX: I know. Me too.
This is Charlie from Bungalow 4.
Maybe midnight pizza
wasn't such a good idea.
Better than Daniella's
2 a.m. sushi dinner.
And two root beer floats.
[GIRLS CHUCKLE]
Good morning, ladies.
Today we have
another amazing guest.
Megahit songwriter,
Calvin Maxine!
[GIRLS GASP, APPLAUDING]
What's up? Heh-heh.
It's an honor
to meet all of you.
It's an honor to write songs
for this queen.
JENNY: Today we have
a songwriting challenge,
but first Calvin is gonna
drop some tips to help you.
Then, you'll have the afternoon
to work on
your own original song.
And when you're all done,
Calvin will read your songs,
and he will decide
who the winner is.
Actually, Fancy G
will be reading,
and she will decide
who the winner is.
I will?
Mm-hm.
Ahem. I will.
[GIRLS CHUCKLE SOFTLY]
All right,
uh, first things first.
On your feet.
Okay.
I know what you're doing.
What? I'm not doing anything.
I want you all
to take an oath with me.
So take your right hand
and put it on your heart.
I will dig deep.
I will have soul.
I will be bold.
GIRLS & MAC:
I will dig deep.
I will have soul.
And I will be bold.
Wait. Can I add something?
Of course.
A song has the power
to change the world.
One of the most important things
you can be is honest.
In your words, your actions
and your music.
GIRLS:
A song...
Power...
A song that...
[LAUGHS]
Stop, wait.
[CALVIN & JENNY LAUGH]
How about...
I will always be truthful.
GIRLS & MAC:
I will always be truthful.
Perfect.
All right. Let's do this.
I, uh, first just wanna start
by running through
some of the songwriting basics.
Intros, verses,
pre-choruses, choruses,
refrains, turnarounds,
hooks, outs.
Do you have any questions?
Yeah.
This is for, uh, Fancy G.
Why did you stop
writing your own songs?
Uh, Fancy G's always
very involved
in the songwriting process.
We work closely together.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
I just mean,
didn't you write
all the songs for Triple Crown?
Yeah. I did.
I can't believe you know
about Triple Crown.
Yeah.
My favorite song is "Atlas."
She was in a band?
Yeah.
Fancy G is so incredibly busy,
she doesn't have time to write.
And besides, why write
when you have the best in
the business to do it for her?
But isn't Fancy G
the best in the business?
FANCY G:
I appreciate that.
But how about we get back
to Calvin and your songs?
Calvin?
Yeah. Why don't we start
by finding the hook?
Shall we?
[BRIT HUMMING]
WANDA:
Psst!
Psst!
Psst!
[GASPS]
How did you...?
Here's a song.
Mom, you can't be serious.
The songwriter's a pro.
And I told her all about you,
so the song
is influenced by you.
Just put it in your notebook.
Eye on the prize.
Eye on the prize.
[SIGHS]
[STRUMMING NOTES SOFTLY]
You okay?
My song.
I don't even know
where to start.
I mean, I can write code
for a computer program,
and give me any math problem,
and I'm all over it.
But feelings and all that,
I just...
Well, how are you feeling
right now?
Panicked.
How are you feeling right now
about being here?
I feel...
Hold up. Don't say anything.
Just write it.
Yeah. Heh.
Okay.
[PLAYING QUIETLY]
[STOPS PLAYING]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Okay.
[PLAYING SOFTLY]
Okay.
[]
I can't believe
Fancy G was in a band.
Same. Heh!
Yeah. I actually have a copy
of their one and only record.
Wait, really?
No way.
Yeah, here.
Oh, wow!
Vinyl! Cool! This is sick.
You got a record player
in there too?
I wish.
How'd you get it?
I was actually raised
in a record store.
I think they only pressed
a few thousand.
You know, I was hoping
maybe Fancy G would sign it,
but did you see her face
when I brought up Triple Crown?
Yeah, I did see that.
I really hope
she doesn't hate me now.
She has to be impressed. None
of us knew about Triple Crown.
Well, your help
with my song saved me.
It was like magic, you know.
It just poured out, heh.
CHARLIE:
I feel like I had good ideas,
but nothing
really came together.
Me too. I've never even tried
to write a whole song.
You know how he was
talking about hooks?
I have 50 hooks but no verses.
[LAUGHS]
All I have are verses
and no hooks.
Maybe we can
write something together.
Totally.
MAYA:
Um, I'll start with the beat.
Okay.
I'm gonna write some words down.
[PLAYING FUNKY BEAT]
CHARLIE & ALEX:
Ooh!
That's cool.
That's really cool.
ALEX:
I like that, yeah.
So, what if it went like...?
Better together
Down for whatever
That's pretty, yeah, yeah. Wait.
Do it again. I'll add something.
CHARLIE: Okay.
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
ALL:
Ooh!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
We can all sing that line.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
You sing the first one.
You sing the second.
We all sing the third.
Okay.
Okay.
Better together
Down for whatever
ALL: This is where
We're meant to be
Heh, wow!
So good!
[SQUEALS] So good!
MAYA:
Wow, how did we do that?
I know!
ALEX: Yes!
[ALL LAUGHING]
[]
I was really impressed
by all of your songs.
For real.
I was actually in shock.
But unfortunately,
one of you is going home.
I'm sorry, Daniella.
It's okay. I get it.
Technically your song
was structured very well.
But it was safe.
Something special was missing.
It was kind of like you didn't
put enough of you in there.
But I would love for you
to stay one more night
and have some fun. Right, Jen?
Of course.
Hey. Don't stop working,
Daniella.
FANCY G: As I was saying,
lots of great lyrics.
But there was one song
in particular
that really spoke to my heart.
It felt like it was
written by a pro.
And it really,
really inspired me.
Great songs are honest.
And this song, I found
incredibly honest. Maya.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
Wait, for real?
[ALL LAUGH]
Yes, for real.
You put so much of yourself
out there and were so brave.
You wanna get up
and sing a little bit?
Um, okay.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
But can Charlie and Alex
join too?
I mean, we sort of...
This is not a group project.
Oh, I know.
It's just that last night...
Fancy G is right.
Um, we're happy
you're all bonding,
but this is an audition
for one spot.
Okay. All right.
[CHIMES]
[PLAYING SOFTLY]
[BEAT STARTS PLAYING]
Drop in the ocean
Heart was hopin'
One day I'd find home
Under streetlights
What would it be like
To have my name be known?
My faith was blind
Followed the signs
Took every wrong turn
But some kind of fate
Lit up my way
And showed what I deserve
Ooh, used to dance
In darkness
Now I'm singing in the sun
Life was feeling heartless
But I still believed in love
Now I'm setting fire
To all that I knew
All that was broken
Gave me a breakthrough
Ooh, now I can feel it
In my soul so strong
I'm where I belong
Where I can be brave
Ride a new wave
Crash and stand up tall
Where I can do it like that
And they still got my back
When I fall, they can run
Pick me up ASAP
When you got real friends
No, you don't gotta ask
Know that, big facts
My faith was blind
Followed the signs
Took every wrong turn
But some kind of fate
Lit up my way
And showed what I deserve
Ooh, used to dance
In darkness
Now I'm singing in the sun
Life was feeling heartless
But I still believed in love
Now I'm setting fire
To all that I knew
All that was broken
Gave me a breakthrough
Ooh, now I can feel it
In my soul so strong
I'm where I belong
[SIGHS]
[ALL APPLAUDING, CHEERING]
Wow.
That's a song.
Girl, you definitely
belong here.
Hoo! I have all the feels.
[BLOWS LOUDLY]
I'm sorry.
[LAUGHS]
So the next challenge
is all about social media.
We're gonna go on a field trip,
and you'll have the afternoon
to take selfies
while hashtagging "Fancy G."
Let's go.
[GIRLS MURMURING]
Hey.
[ALL CHUCKLING]
I really, really love your song.
Thank you.
Are you coming with us?
Oh, no.
If I go, it'll turn into
a whole thing.
A whole thing?
There's this pack of paparazzi
that follow me, and they make
going out very difficult.
Is it hard?
What?
Fame. I mean, I know
it's amazing and everything,
but do you ever get tired of it?
I've been doing this since I was
your age, and I'm super blessed.
But I think about the little
things that I missed out on.
You know, like prom, homecoming.
Don't even
get me started on dating.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Those don't seem like
little things to me.
I guess not.
Maya, that song
you wrote was incredible.
For real.
Heh, thanks,
but I wish we could've performed
the song we wrote too.
Legit, guys, the three of us
together are a force.
I wonder why
she's so against groups.
Probably Triple Crown.
I mean, she looked like a ghost
when I brought it up.
That's gotta be it.
I wonder what happened.
CHARLIE:
Wait, guys, look.
Maybe they'll have
a record player.
[ALEX LAUGHS]
Cool. Let's go.
[]
MAYA:
This place is... Wow!
HENRI:
Bonjour!
Je m'appelle Henri.
May I help you?
Yes. Uh, hi. We were wondering
if you may have
a vinyl record player.
Bien sr,
let me call my grandson.
He knows all about
the new technology. Jack!
Jack!
Yeah, Pops?
Hey.
These lovely ladies are looking
for a record player.
Oh, cool.
Yeah. Totally. I'm Alex.
Jack.
Yeah, I think we have
a portable one in the back.
I'll go check.
That'd be really cool of you.
Easy, tiger.
[GROWLS]
[ALL LAUGH]
This place has been in my family
since it opened in 1924.
We have treasures
from all over the world.
Take a look around.
Okay.
Guys, look.
"Les Filles de Miel."
The Honey Girls.
French immersion school
since pre-K.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[]
Whoa.
[ALEX CHUCKLES]
They're so beautiful.
CHARLIE: Seems appropriate.
[CHUCKLES]
ALEX:
"Teegan." Cool.
So cool.
"Viv."
"Risa"?
Maybe Teegan, Risa and Viv
were friends,
or maybe they were a group.
Yeah.
How do I look?
[BOTH GIGGLE]
Seriously, you look
c'est magnifique, Risa.
You too, Viv.
[ALEX GIGGLES]
I knew we had
a portable record player.
Bravo!
Les Filles de Miel,
the Honey Girls.
Were they a group?
Ah, oui, in the 1920s.
They were the most sought after
singers in all of Paris.
Legend was, no one knew
their true identity.
Actually?
Vraiment.
When you wear these masks, you
can be whoever you want to be.
Uh, would you mind
taking a video?
Sure.
[ALL GIGGLING]
[TINKLING]
[]
They called me crazy
To believe in magic
But deep inside
My fireworks were flashing
I always knew that
Something good would happen
And I know
You've been feeling it too
We saw what they couldn't
While I was looking for you
You were looking for me
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
All our lives
We dream of something
That would feel like this
Now it's bigger
Better than we could
Imagine it
No more wishing
Nothing's missing
No, we don't need
To search anymore
ALL: Feels like
We have finally found
What we've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for
It's the beginning
Of the rest of our lives
Don't have a ceiling
No, there ain't no skies
This is what happens
When your hopes stay high
All the beautiful stars
Finding you
We saw what they couldn't
While I was looking for you
You were looking for me
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
ALL:
All our lives
We dream of something
That would feel like this
That would feel like this
Now it's bigger
Better than we could
Imagine it
No more wishing
Nothing's missing
No, we don't need
To search anymore
ALL: Feels like
We have finally found
What we've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for
Fantastic!
You guys are incredible.
[GIRLS GIGGLING]
Here you go.
Thanks.
You are the Honey Girls.
[GIRLS GIGGLE]
How much for these?
[SCOFFS]
No, no, no.
They are priceless.
I cannot charge for
what is destined to be yours.
Oh, sir, we couldn't take these.
But it already belongs to you.
S'il vous plait.
Let us at least buy
the record player.
That sounds fair. Allez!
I really hope I see you again.
[CHUCKLES]
You definitely will.
Bye, Jack.
[SIGHS]
[GIRLS GIGGLING]
Whoa!
That was amazing!
You think?
We could actually be
Les Filles de Miel.
Totally.
[GIGGLES]
The Honey Girls.
Yeah.
That's awesome, but what about
Fancy G and the contest?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, can't we just do both?
I'm in.
Same.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Good news. The Honey Girl
handle hasn't been taken.
What are you doing?
I just created
our Honey Girls account
and uploaded our first video.
Wow, you're quick.
Yeah.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Is she okay?
She looks sort of lost
or something.
Brit!
CHARLIE: Hey, Brit.
Hey.
What's going on?
What are you doing?
Just what everyone else is.
Trying to find
something to post.
What did you get?
Oh, nothing.
Just some souvenirs, heh.
Wanna hang with us?
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Come on. Heh-heh.
Guys, look at Tate.
[MAYA CHUCKLES]
MAYA:
Oh, yeah.
Ready? "Fancy G" on three.
One, two, three.
ALL: Fancy G!
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
[ALL LAUGHING]
FANCY G:
So...
I've been checking out
your photos,
and while I was looking,
I found an example of a post
full of originality.
While I was looking for you
You were looking for me
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
All our lives
We've dreamed of something
That would feel like this
Now it's bigger
Better than we could
Imagine it
No more wishing
Nothing's missing
No, we don't need
To search anymore
Feels like
We have finally found
What we've been looking for
Yeah, so I'm not into groups,
but I love their style.
They remind me
of this party I went to
during Fashion Week
at Versailles.
Mm-hm.
And they tagged me in the post.
What do you think, Jen?
I cannot believe you did that.
JENNY: They're super original.
What if she finds out?
Who are they?
JENNY: The Honey Girls.
They only have one post up,
but it's already going
super viral.
FANCY G: Yeah. They're very talented.
But back to us.
So I've been looking
at your photos,
and they're really cool too.
Now this is the one
I thought said a lot.
Social media should be more
about creating a community
than self-promotion.
Tate, I love that you chose
to post this photo
of all of you guys.
Congrats.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
Yeah.
It seems like
we're missing something
from Hannah.
I couldn't think of anything,
so I just gave up.
You know,
I know it's really hard
to put yourselves out there.
I get it.
Look, we can't get
anywhere in life
if we don't at least try.
Luck is simply when
opportunity meets preparation.
You weren't prepared today,
but like I said,
it just wasn't your time.
But let's have
some fun tonight, okay?
Okay. Thanks, Fancy G.
FANCY G: Thank you, guys.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye.
So hungry.
Let's get some snacks.
I can't believe you tagged
Fancy G. Are you crazy?
If she finds out it's us,
we're all getting kicked out.
Well, it worked.
Nobody recognized
Teegan, Risa or Viv.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
That was crazy.
We're really doing this.
[]
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thank you.
That looks good.
[GASPS]
[WHISPERS]
You'll get them next time.
[WHISPERS]
What are you doing?
Oh!
Maybe if we build up
the Honey Girls big enough,
Fancy G won't care.
She's already a fan, right?
True.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Oh, the record.
I almost forgot.
Oh, yeah. Go get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
JENNY: How's it going over here?
Good, heh.
Totally good.
CHARLIE: Got it.
[TRIPLE CROWN SONG PLAYS
ON RECORD PLAYER]
What's that?
Oh.
Well, um...
Charlie has
a Triple Crown record.
Really? No way.
Yeah.
Should I turn it off?
Heh, no, no.
Whoa, can I see that?
I can't believe
she was in a band.
So cool, right?
I actually love her
even more now.
CHARLIE & ALEX: Same.
[ALL LAUGH]
You have the coolest job
in the world.
Most days I do. I love Fancy G.
She's the best,
but someday I wanna be a manager
just like Mac
and have my own company.
You'd be an amazing manager.
Agreed.
CHARLIE: Agreed.
[CHUCKLES]
What happened to Triple Crown?
It's really sad.
Her band broke her heart.
They were your age when they
started performing together.
One day the band just
walked out on Fancy G.
They were best friends
and then they weren't.
Why? Why did they leave her?
She never knew.
They just said
that they were moving on.
So she signed with Mac,
became Fancy G
and just never looked back.
So that's why
she doesn't like groups.
She always insists
that the only person
you could count on is yourself.
Hey. Wait. I don't mean
to scare you guys.
It's just that being a star
is not all glamour.
It's a lot of work
and a lot of sacrifice.
It's getting late.
See you girls tomorrow.
Bye.
JENNY: Bye.
MAYA: Bye.
I can't believe
they bailed on her.
I know.
I don't know, y'all.
I love the Honey Girls.
I know we came here
for ourselves,
but I feel like
I came here to meet you,
and for us to be a group.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
MAYA & CHARLIE: Same.
[ALL GIGGLE]
I've never really had friends
that get my music or get me.
The song I wrote
wasn't just about the contest.
It was about us.
This is where we all belong.
[CHUCKLES]
Together.
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah-dah, dah-dah
I keep it 110

Oh, nobody gave it to me
Oh, I keep it

I dream of counting
Count it up
Cooking up no recipe
Oh, nobody gave it to me
Oh, I keep it

In rosy-colored tints
Livin' my life
No, I don't think twice
Add it up
It all make sense
I went from no luck
To more luck
From zero to no bucks
I got him to hold up
No brakes, no slow up
Mm-hm, whoo
I'm making it
I-I-I'm making it
I'm making it
I-I-I'm making it
I'm making it
I-I-I'm making it up
As I go
I might've had too much
Said I was good
But I made that up
I get two on
When I fill my cup
Tryna get me some...
Welcome, ladies.
This is my stylist
and one of the hottest designers
in the fashion world.
Marline Grayson!
Welcome, everybody.
Today we want to get a sense
of your own personal style.
While I do design the dresses
and looks for Fancy G's videos,
a great designer draws
inspiration from her client.
It's not about me
reinventing Fancy G,
but rather
highlighting who she is.
Today, that's your challenge.
Let's highlight your own style.
Work on your brand.
Think about who you are
and what you wanna represent.
Exactly.
Fancy G and I don't
believe in makeovers.
We believe in takeovers.
Take over and own who you are.
Now, own it.
Or you will be going home.
Roll out the racks.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
Yes, Charlie, this look, it's...
This is perfect.
Uh, but this is
what I wore here.
This color is going to look
beautiful on you. Mm-hm.
Ooh!
[CHUCKLES]
LEXI:
Come on!
[GROANS, THEN SIGHS]
I can see
that you're in the fashion zone.
It is such an honor.
Your 2018 collection
at Paris Fashion Week
was, like, everything.
That dress with the drop back.
You know that Fancy G wore that
to the Grammys?
Yeah, s-she did.
I'll let you
get back to the zone.
Can't wait to see
the final product.
This material
is very impressive.
Okay.
Just say hello

FANCY G: Brit, your design skills
are legit.
You are the winner
of today's challenge.
GIRLS: Congratulations.
[CHUCKLES]
So, what's this
whole look about?
I don't know.
Are you in pain?
So much pain.
You can take your heels off now.
[SIGHS]
FANCY G: I know it's hard
to see right now,
but you want your style to
highlight the best parts of you
so that you feel amazing.
That whole skater look that you
came in with, it was great.
Maybe you should
explore that more.
I'm sorry, Lexi.
You're going home.
It's okay. Bye, guys.
Bye, Lexi.
See you.
[]
I wonder what they were like.
Viv, Teegan and Risa.
Think they were
anything like us?
Maybe they were.
Well, you heard what Henri said.
Nobody knew
their identities either.
That's what makes
the Honey Girls so cool.
We can still be ourselves.
And we don't have to give
everything up like Fancy G said.
We can have normal lives too.
But we're down to five girls.
What if one of us goes home?
I feel like we were destined
to be the Honey Girls.
CHARLIE:
But you heard what Fancy G said.
We're not allowed
to be the Honey Girls.
Yet.
If we can make it
to the final three,
maybe we can convince her.
[ALL GIGGLE]
We all just need to hang on
for one more day.
[GIGGLING]
And who are you texting?
Jack from the store.
[GIGGLES]
[GROWLS]
[ALL LAUGHING]
I know you've all dreamed about
what your first album cover
might look like.
Well, here's your shot.
I want you to show off
your own style,
tell your story,
and do it in one photo.
Using the props, costumes
and a little graphic design,
you'll have about two hours
to do your thing.
[RAYELLE'S "DO MY THING"

Wake up
And I'm ready to roll
'Cause I know
Where I'm going
It don't matter
How long it takes

Can't nobody mess
With my flow

'Cause I know who I am
Stronger than
I've ever been

I'm gonna be
The best me ever
Already made up my mind
I'm beautiful
Powerful, bold
And I'm in control
Are you okay?
I just... I feel so weird.
I wish I had
my Honey Girls mask.
Cameras freak me out.
What's your favorite thing
to do in the world?
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can keep
Your eyes on me
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll show you
How I do my thing
Oh, oh, oh

This is so cool, Charlie.
It's perfect.
I think we have our winner.
[GIRLS APPLAUDING]
[SQUEALS]
I feel like I got to know
most of you a lot better.
But, Tate,
your cover really didn't
tell me anything about you.
In fact, it reminds me
a lot of, well, me.
Yeah. Seemed like a much
better idea at the time.
You don't have to say it.
I know I lost.
There are no losers here.
It's just not your time.
But I do appreciate
the shout-out though.
Okay, ladies, get some rest.
Tomorrow we are down to four.
[HUMMING]
I love that melody.
What is that?
Something new.
Something I've been working on.
You've been writing?
Yeah.
In fact, I haven't felt
this inspired in years.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Hey, Jen.
Thanks.
[FANCY G RESUMES HUMMING]
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[]
She's so gonna win.
MAYA [SCOFFS]: Yeah.
You literally
just won the album contest.
But you've seen her.
She's like a pro.
So pro. What if one of us
gets tossed tomorrow?
I say tomorrow, we come clean.
Either way.
I mean, if Brit wins,
it just means
one of us is going home
and we just tell Fancy
the truth.
Yeah. Totally.
I don't know.
I don't think
we should decide right now.
We're so close to the end
and they could
throw all of us out
at the same time.
Can we just see
how things go tomorrow?
No matter what we decide,
we'll do it together.
All or nothing?
MAYA & CHARLIE: All or nothing.
Better together, on three.
You're such a jock.
Right.
One, two, heh, three.
ALL:
Better together!
[ALL GIGGLE]
Mom, I really love fashion
and I'm good at it.
This is your big break.
Oh!
CHARLIE:
Hey, Brit?
MAYA: Hey, Brit.
You wanna hang out with us?
[WHISPERS]
No. They're the competition.
We're gonna order room service
and hang out.
Wanna come?
Why?
Why not?
Okay. Uh, maybe.
Actually, maybe you should go.
See if you can get
some dirt on them.
Oh, I... Keep your enemies close.
Mom, I don't... I don't know.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah...
Wow, this is really Fancy G?
So have you always been
into fashion design?
Yeah. Ever since I can remember.
Well, you're really good at it.
Mm-hm.
Thanks.
Can you pass me the Sun Chips?
Yeah.
Oh!
Well, I'm glad nobody saw that,
because I have pizza
all over my shirt.
[BOTH LAUGH]
CHARLIE: It's okay.
You can clean it off
in the bathroom.
Yeah, I'm gonna go do that.
Yeah, heh.
Want some?
BRIT: I'll be right back.

Did it come out?
Oh, yeah. Um...
You know, it's late
and we have a challenge
in the morning, so...
Okay. Heh.
Okay. Good night.
CHARLIE: Good night.
MAYA: Good night.
Bye.
I really like these.
[MAYA GIGGLES]
[GIRLS LAUGHING, CHATTERING]
I can't believe
I'm actually writing again.
Dude, I'm just happy
you're inspired.
I told you
this contest was fire.
I... I mean, a good idea.
And then there were four.
Wait, where...?
Where's the fourth?
Sorry. Sorry.
So today is
the singing challenge.
Um, wait.
Uh, there's something
that I... I need to say.
What's going on?
Well, um,
I think there's something
that you should all know.
You see, I think it's important
to be honest.
Yes. It's really important
to be honest.
Yeah. I mean,
you wouldn't want someone here
who wants something different
than what you'd want.
Right?
Right.
We had to take that oath
to be truthful.
What is it, Brit?
It's not cool
to lie about who you are.
Music isn't my passion and
I wanna be a fashion designer!
No! No!
Mom?
"Mom"?
BOTH: "Mom"?
WANDA: No!
No! No.
Mom, stop.
[PANTING]
Mom, I'm sorry, but...
I wanna be a fashion designer.
But...
w-we worked so hard.
You.
You worked so hard.
Hold up. You're her mom?
And you've been here
the whole time?
Heh! Oh, my gosh.
You're like
the next-level helicopter mom.
This was your shot
at a bigger life.
Can't you just accept who I am
and support my dreams?
Not your dreams for me?
But I thought
this was your dream.
I'm trying to tell you, it's...
It's not.
Your daughter is
an awesome designer.
As a matter of fact,
Marline Grayson told me
that she wants you
to help design something
for me to wear in my show.
[CHUCKLES]
WANDA:
Brit.
That's amazing.
Really?
I am proud of you
no matter what.
[CHUCKLES]
I am so sorry
I've been so crazy.
Yeah, you're soaking wet.
[CHUCKLES, THEN SNIFFLES]
I'm gonna be who I wanna be.
[WHISPERS]
You should too.
[WHISPERS]
You know?
Come here, Mama.
[CHUCKLES]
I love you.
I love you.
We have to tell her.
Tell me what?
All or nothing.
Okay.
Please understand,
we didn't plan
on this happening.
What's going on?
We just feel like
we're better together.
Yeah.
The three of us.
One night we started
singing together
and it just happened.
It wasn't intentional.
It was just like destiny
for us to meet.
So you're saying
you wanna be a group?
We are a group.
ALL:
We're the Honey Girls.
You're the Honey Girls?
Is that okay?
Is that okay? This is amazing,
are you kidding me?
This is so much better
than I could've imagined.
This is brilliant.
This... This is huge.
Yes. It's genius!
What are you talking about?
This is not genius!
We're looking for
a new solo artist, not a group.
MAC: But, Fancy,
I've been tracking them.
The Honey Girls are blowing up.
They're huge.
And we discovered them.
We can sign them to our company.
You can mentor them
and produce them.
We can put them
on our worldwide tour.
Just think of the ticket sales.
No, Mac!
I don't care about any of that.
I didn't sign up for this.
You didn't sign us up for this.
The Honey Girls are a group.
This is not cool.
It's not cool at all.
Well, wait a second.
Maybe we could
work something out.
There's nothing to work out.
Come on, be reasonable.
You know how I feel.
You know
how I feel about groups.
I care too much
about these girls for that.
But this is different.
You were the star
of Triple Crown.
Everybody knew it.
Even your own bandmates agreed.
[]
What do you mean, they agreed?
You broke us up?
No. Fancy, listen.
The record label
only wanted you.
And Emily and Kelsey,
they didn't wanna hold you back.
All these years, I thought
my best friends just left me.
Do you have any idea
what that did to me?
I'm sorry. I thought you knew.
The contest is over.
I'm sorry. The concert is over.
We are over!
Fancy G?
You really did inspire us.
MAC:
Everything's done.
The sponsors, the label.
Well, you're good
at breaking things up.
So you deal with it!
Fancy.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
We didn't mean
to cause all this.
No, it's not your fault.
[SIGHS]
You should probably
call your parents.
[]
[SIGHS]
I don't see how this could work.
I mean, we live
so far away from each other.
We could FaceTime or Zoom.
Or we could each sing our part
and I can cut it together.
There's gotta be a way.
The Honey Girls are done.
It's over.
Feels like
We have finally found
What we've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
We've been looking
We've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for
[]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Hi, Fancy G.
We're on our way
to the airport right now.
[]
Change of plans.
ALEX: Wait, what's going on?
MAYA: Where are they taking us?
CHARLIE: Where are we going?
MAYA: I don't know.
Thank you, guys,
for coming back.
You see, the thing about
being an artist
is we get very,
very emotional sometimes.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Losing Triple Crown
really broke my heart.
And I don't want that
for you guys.
I would love for the Honey Girls
to open for me.
If, of course,
you're still interested.
Yes, of course!
Yes, yes, yes!
[GIRLS LAUGH]
FANCY G:
Okay. One thing though.
I think you should keep your
masks for as long as you can.
Okay.
Enjoy the privacy.
Enjoy it just being
about the music.
We need to get over
to the venue for rehearsal.
Okay.
[GIRLS GIGGLE]
[SIGHS]
Hey, you okay?
Yeah.
You know the real reason
I bought this place?
Triple Crown's first
and last gigs were here.
We were so young.
You know, you did all of this.
You discovered these girls.
I'm really proud of you, Jen.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
MAC: Hey, Fancy.
Hmm?
[]
Kels, Em, is that really you?
It's really us.
Hi, Gabby.
Gabby?
Oh, my gosh.
What are you guys doing here?
MAC: Uh...
Is that Triple Crown?
I asked them to come.
So I could apologize
to all of you.
What you had together
was so very special.
And I'm really sorry.
I was so focused
on making you a star
that I forgot about
making you happy.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I guess I just...
I guess I just lost my way.
I think somewhere
I lost my way too.
I missed you guys so much.
Us too.
Oh, you know, the Honey Girls
are gonna need a manager
to navigate these crazy waters.
You know, to negotiate contracts
with record labels
and producers.
Contracts?
Dude, you have ten labels
wanting record deals.
Oh, what?
Really?
He's right. You're gonna need
someone you trust
and who saw something in you
from the very beginning.
I'd love to be the person
that manages the Honey Girls.
Really? That's amazing!
So amazing!
Oh, yeah, I was...
I was probably gonna
suggest you.
It's your time.

ALEX: Oh, my gosh.
BRIT: You guys look so pretty.
I love your outfit.
Thank you. I designed it myself.
Of course you did.
I actually am here
because I have something
for all of you.
Fancy G asked me for a favor.
Your masks are so beautiful,
but they're also 100 years old.
True. Heh-heh.
Very, very delicate.
JENNY:
And they've gotten you this far,
but it's definitely time
to take you to the next level.
I used your original masks
as inspiration.
I hope that you like them.
Whoa!
These are sick.
So amazing!
Oh, my gosh.
You made these?
You really like them?
ALEX: You made this!
They are beautiful.
Heh, okay. Give me a hug.
[ALL SQUEAL, LAUGHING]
They're so cool.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
Good luck. We'll see you after.
Bye, girls.
Bye.
Thank you.
Thank you! Love you guys.
ANNOUNCER [OVER PA]: Welcome to the Like a Diamond
world event.
Let's kick it off
with a greeting
from the one and only Fancy G!
Over the past few weeks,
we've held an audition.
And the funny thing is
that in searching
for the next Fancy G,
I actually found myself again.
All of these girls inspired me
and awakened a part of me
that I haven't
connected to in years.
We realized that they each have
their own unique talent,
and that's what makes them
so special.
So there is
no one winner of the contest.
Tonight, I'd like
to introduce a new group
that has taught me
two very important things:
Always be who you wanna be,
and we are
definitely better together.
Please welcome to the stage
for the first time,
the Honey Girls!

Jenny! Where's my smoothie?
How are you feeling?
I'm exhausted.
I can't believe
my call time was 10 a.m.
Wait, do I look tired?
You look gorgeous.
Lavender or eucalyptus?
Obviously.
So Mac spoke to a reporter
about the contest,
and she wants a quote.
Mac can handle.
Oh, my gosh, you were terrific.
You looked amazing.
You sounded amazing.
You are amazing.
Are you kidding me with this?
I need to spend the next month
rehearsing for the tour,
not babysitting a bunch
of teenaged contest winners.
The label wanted to kick off the
release with a major promotion.
You... We.
- -agreed to this months ago.
Don't worry,
we'll handle everything, right?
Yes, everything.
Everything.
[HORNS HONKING]
What are you watching?
Can you teach me that
Fancy G song called "Louder"?
I wanna audition
for the contest.
Can you teach me how to play it?
Um, sure.
I think it goes like this,

Charlie, from Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, that's sick.
This house is sick.
Yeah. Right?
I'm sorry,
this is where we're staying?
We're sleeping here?
In Fancy G's house?
[GASPING EXCITEDLY]
No. Uh, but don't worry.
You'll be staying down the road
at Fancy G's other property,
the Laurel Canyon Inn.
No way!
Fancy G completely remodeled it
for her own private getaway.
That's right.
You know your stuff.
I'm literally her biggest fan.
For real, I'm president of the
Michigan Fancy G Fan Club, so...
Okay, then. Uh, well, welcome.
I'm Mac, Fancy G's manager,
friend, compadre,
part-time therapist
and champion.
Also, I'd like to think
that I had
a little something to do
with Fancy G's amazing career.
And you all have met Fancy G's
executive assistant, Jenny.
Hi again, everyone. If you need
anything, you just let me know.
Okay.

What's up, girls?
Oh, my gosh, she's so amazing.
She's so gorgeous.
She's so perfect.
[QUIETLY] You owe me for this.
[WHISPERS] I know.
Okay.
"I'm so honored
to have all of you here.
I don't want you
to think of this as a contest,
but rather an audition.
Each and every one of you
is fiercely talented.
And just remember, if you don't
make it to the final show,
it only means
it's not your time... yet.
First, we'll get you settled,
then, we'll have
a set of star challenges.
And after each challenge,
one of you will go home.
The final girl standing
will open for me
in my worldwide
livestreamed concert event.
This isn't about
discovering a star.
This is about discovering
a triple threat.
This talented person
needs to not only have it all,
this girl needs to be tough.
Fame isn't always easy,
and you have to be ready to face
not only your fans
but your critics."

[SIGHS]
For real, having thin skin
is not an option.
So do you guys really want this?
ALL: Yes.
Yes!
Seriously, this is not a joke.
The pressure can be intense.
You think I get a pass
if I misstep? 'Cause I don't.
This is not just fun and games.
This is a job.
Uh... Yeah.
I thought this was gonna be
more, like, chill, you know?
Like a vacation.
This sounds like a lot of work.
I don't think this is for me.
Oh, okay.
Oh.
Wait. Is she for real?
[FANCY G SCOFFS]
Wow.
[MAC CLEARS THROAT]
Okay. Uh, well, heh,
you all know Fancy G.
Why don't you all
introduce yourselves to her?

Nice shirt.
Hey. You got this.
Talk.
[ALL SNICKER]
Yeah. Uh, I'm Charlie.
What's your favorite Heart song?
"Crazy on You."
The guitar solo in the opening
blows my mind.
Right? Nancy Wilson is, like,
the most underrated guitarist
in rock history.
I always say that.
Mmm.
This whole look
is definitely working.
Thank you. I created
and designed it myself.
I make a lot of my own clothes.
I'm Brit,

it's not just about singing.
You need to be able
to dance on-stage
at 120 beats per minute
for two hours.
They're just briskly walking
right now.
How do you even know
they're walking?
You haven't looked up
from your phone once.
I did.
They're briskly walking.
They're gonna learn
about getting in shape
when they meet JJ Sparks.
They're meeting
with my choreographer?
Who's paying for that?
I'm not paying for that.
Am I paying for that?
[SIGHS]
Ugh, so nervous
in the challenges.
If someone doesn't make it, it
just means it's not their time.
She was just being nice.
No offense, but my mom says
there's not room at the top
for everyone.
She's right.
I didn't come here to play.
I came here to win.
This isn't summer camp.
[OWL HOOTS]
Well, 'night, y'all.
It's been a long day.
Yeah. I'm gonna get to bed.
ANNIE:
Good night.
Sleep tight!
[ALL CHUCKLE]
[ALL SNICKERING]
Okay, so am I, like,
the only one
that is completely intimidated
by everyone and everything here?
Thank you, yes.
I'm totally freaked out.
Same.
Same, heh-heh.
How long have you been playing?
Oh, jeez, since forever.
I never had lessons though.
My dad just showed me,
and I kind of picked it up.
My parents put me
in piano lessons when I was 5,
but honestly, I've always loved
singing more than anything.
I've always loved
doing everything.
Singing, dancing, guitar, piano.
Probably good at all of it.
Right.
Sure, but...
[ALL LAUGHING]
[POPPY WILDE'S "ALL THE WAY"
PLAYING]
My hair is, like,
gonna get in the fire.
Wherever you're going
Wherever your heart is
You're only one step away
From where you wanna be
Hope that you're holding
Light in the darkness
Only one dream away
From what you wanna see
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What you wanna see...
[ALL LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY]
Don't stop
Following the sun
Take each moment
As it comes
A brand-new day
Has just begun
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Oh, my darling
Don't lose your way
Keep on going
Keep going
If there's a chance
Then it's yours to take
Keep on going
Keep going
All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way
All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way
Wherever you're going
Wherever your heart is
You're only one step away
From where you wanna be
So today is about showing off
your dance skills.
But unfortunately,
someone will have to go home.
Hello, ladies.
You didn't have
to be here today.
He's my choreographer.
Okay. All right.
[GASPS]
JJ Sparks!
Well, JJ, looks
like you already have a fan.
You choreographed
Fancy G's videos
and the Super Bowl
halftime show.
You're like the most amazing
choreographer in the world.
I only hire the best.
What's your name?
I'm Alex.
All right, Alex,
do you know all the dance moves
to Fancy G's video "Louder"?
Know it? My dance team
won regional's doing it.
Ooh, look at you.
Okay, Miss Regionals, you ready
to show off your moves?
All right. Come on.
[SNAPPING]
["LOUDER" PLAYS OVER SPEAKERS]
Wait, wait, wait. Hold up.
I don't wanna hear me.
I hear me all the time.
Let's take it old-school.

Five, six, seven, eight.
This is how we do it

JJ: Kick!

Once upon a time...
[GRUNTS, THEN GROANS]
[GASPS]
FANCY G:
Annie?
[ECHOING]
Are you okay?
Oh, man, she got acquainted
with that wall quite well.
Yeah.
Can you hear us?
FANCY G:
Hello?
I really shouldn't be here.
What are you talking about?
I'm actually not a performer.
I mean, I can do a really great
impression of you.
I'm covered in diamonds...
I get it. I get it.
Yeah, but I'm a terrible dancer.
I mean, I can't create music.
And I'm your biggest fan.
More than anything, I just
really wanted to meet you.
Well, that was bold of you
to admit all of that.
I like bold.
As a matter of fact,
I think I need someone bold
to be the president
of my international fan club.
But I'm really sorry, it's just
you don't have
an international fan club.
She does now.
[ANNIE GASPS,
THEN LAUGHS SOFTLY]
Are we gonna dance or what?
Let's make a circle!
ALEX: Yeah!
Come on!
[GIRLS EXCLAIMING]
This is how we do it

This is how we do it
All hands are in the air
And wavin'
From here to there
If you're an OG mack
Or a wannabe player
You see, the hood's
Been good to me
Ever since I was
A lowercase G
But now I'm a big G
The girls see
I got the money
Hundred dollar bills, y'all
If you were from
Where I'm from
Then you would know
That I gotta get mine
In a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64
Whatever it is
The party's underway
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear
The party say
I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
This is how we do it
South Central does it
Like nobody does
This is how we do it
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
This is how we do it...
Get in there.
No.
This is how we do it...
[ALL LAUGHING]
Yes, you do. Get in there!
This is how we do it
South Central does it
Like nobody does
This is how we do it
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
This is how we do it
I'll never come back
On an old-school track
Oh, my gosh.
This is how we do it
I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
This is how we do it
[ALL CHEERING]
South Central does it
Like nobody does
This is how we do it
Oh, it's party time
This is how we do it
I did not see that coming.
Me neither.
Okay. Well, we had some
killer moves in here today.
I agree.
And since some of us
are not eligible,
the winner
of today's challenge is...
Is Alex.
[GASPS, SQUEALS]
[GIRLS APPLAUDING, CHEERING]
GIRL:
Good job!

[WOMAN IMITATING OWL HOOTING]
[GASPS]
WANDA [WHISPERS]:
Psst, here.
Hi.
It's me.
[WHISPERING] Mom.
Mom, you... What are you...?
You can't be here.
You're gonna get us
both in trouble.
Tell me how today went, honey.
Did you wow them?
Are we on the path to victory?
EMPLOYEE: Are you okay?
WANDA: Oh!
I'm just grabbing a towel.
Thank you, sir.
No problem.
Good night.
[WHISPERS] 'Night.
[]
Sorry. Did I wake you up?
No, I couldn't sleep.
I can't either.
I was just thinking.
I mean, I didn't even send in
my own audition.
My 9-year-old student did.
Heh, really?
But now that I'm here,
I really wanna stay.
Today was the most amazing day
of my life.
Yeah. I don't wanna go either.
Not to get all, like, cheesy,
but I feel like
we've known each other forever.
Same.
Same.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
I'm sort of a loner
back at home.
I think everyone thinks
I'm the weird record-store girl.
Better than
the mathlete super-nerd.
Whenever anyone at school
has any kind of problem
with math or science,
they're always like, "Ask Maya."
And I'm like,
"Guys, there's more to me
than equations, people." Heh.
And you are probably the most
popular girl at your school.
Heh, probably.
Stop.
[GIGGLING]
I mean, maybe,
but nobody really knows me.
The real me, you know?
Totally.
[ALL LAUGH]
You know,
for the first time in my life,
I actually feel like I belong.
Well, let's make sure
none of us go home.
But only one of us can win.
Then let's make sure
we're the last three standing.
Are you guys hungry?
Yes, kind of.
Yeah. Hungry.
[ALL GIGGLING]
Hey. They did say
we can order anything we want,
24 hours a day.
CHARLIE: True.
Ooh!
Oh, I'm so excited.
I can't wait.
ALEX: I know. Me too.
This is Charlie from Bungalow 4.
Maybe midnight pizza
wasn't such a good idea.
Better than Daniella's
2 a.m. sushi dinner.
And two root beer floats.
[GIRLS CHUCKLE]
Good morning, ladies.
Today we have
another amazing guest.
Megahit songwriter,
Calvin Maxine!
[GIRLS GASP, APPLAUDING]
What's up? Heh-heh.
It's an honor
to meet all of you.
It's an honor to write songs
for this queen.
JENNY: Today we have
a songwriting challenge,
but first Calvin is gonna
drop some tips to help you.
Then, you'll have the afternoon
to work on
your own original song.
And when you're all done,
Calvin will read your songs,
and he will decide
who the winner is.
Actually, Fancy G
will be reading,
and she will decide
who the winner is.
I will?
Mm-hm.
Ahem. I will.
[GIRLS CHUCKLE SOFTLY]
All right,
uh, first things first.
On your feet.
Okay.
I know what you're doing.
What? I'm not doing anything.
I want you all
to take an oath with me.
So take your right hand
and put it on your heart.
I will dig deep.
I will have soul.
I will be bold.
GIRLS & MAC:
I will dig deep.
I will have soul.
And I will be bold.
Wait. Can I add something?
Of course.
A song has the power
to change the world.
One of the most important things
you can be is honest.
In your words, your actions
and your music.
GIRLS:
A song...
Power...
A song that...
[LAUGHS]
Stop, wait.
[CALVIN & JENNY LAUGH]
How about...
I will always be truthful.
GIRLS & MAC:
I will always be truthful.
Perfect.
All right. Let's do this.
I, uh, first just wanna start
by running through
some of the songwriting basics.
Intros, verses,
pre-choruses, choruses,
refrains, turnarounds,
hooks, outs.
Do you have any questions?
Yeah.
This is for, uh, Fancy G.
Why did you stop
writing your own songs?
Uh, Fancy G's always
very involved
in the songwriting process.
We work closely together.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
I just mean,
didn't you write
all the songs for Triple Crown?
Yeah. I did.
I can't believe you know
about Triple Crown.
Yeah.
My favorite song is "Atlas."
She was in a band?
Yeah.
Fancy G is so incredibly busy,
she doesn't have time to write.
And besides, why write
when you have the best in
the business to do it for her?
But isn't Fancy G
the best in the business?
FANCY G:
I appreciate that.
But how about we get back
to Calvin and your songs?
Calvin?
Yeah. Why don't we start
by finding the hook?
Shall we?
[BRIT HUMMING]
WANDA:
Psst!
Psst!
Psst!
[GASPS]
How did you...?
Here's a song.
Mom, you can't be serious.
The songwriter's a pro.
And I told her all about you,
so the song
is influenced by you.
Just put it in your notebook.
Eye on the prize.
Eye on the prize.
[SIGHS]
[STRUMMING NOTES SOFTLY]
You okay?
My song.
I don't even know
where to start.
I mean, I can write code
for a computer program,
and give me any math problem,
and I'm all over it.
But feelings and all that,
I just...
Well, how are you feeling
right now?
Panicked.
How are you feeling right now
about being here?
I feel...
Hold up. Don't say anything.
Just write it.
Yeah. Heh.
Okay.
[PLAYING QUIETLY]
[STOPS PLAYING]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Okay.
[PLAYING SOFTLY]
Okay.
[]
I can't believe
Fancy G was in a band.
Same. Heh!
Yeah. I actually have a copy
of their one and only record.
Wait, really?
No way.
Yeah, here.
Oh, wow!
Vinyl! Cool! This is sick.
You got a record player
in there too?
I wish.
How'd you get it?
I was actually raised
in a record store.
I think they only pressed
a few thousand.
You know, I was hoping
maybe Fancy G would sign it,
but did you see her face
when I brought up Triple Crown?
Yeah, I did see that.
I really hope
she doesn't hate me now.
She has to be impressed. None
of us knew about Triple Crown.
Well, your help
with my song saved me.
It was like magic, you know.
It just poured out, heh.
CHARLIE:
I feel like I had good ideas,
but nothing
really came together.
Me too. I've never even tried
to write a whole song.
You know how he was
talking about hooks?
I have 50 hooks but no verses.
[LAUGHS]
All I have are verses
and no hooks.
Maybe we can
write something together.
Totally.
MAYA:
Um, I'll start with the beat.
Okay.
I'm gonna write some words down.
[PLAYING FUNKY BEAT]
CHARLIE & ALEX:
Ooh!
That's cool.
That's really cool.
ALEX:
I like that, yeah.
So, what if it went like...?
Better together
Down for whatever
That's pretty, yeah, yeah. Wait.
Do it again. I'll add something.
CHARLIE: Okay.
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
ALL:
Ooh!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
We can all sing that line.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
You sing the first one.
You sing the second.
We all sing the third.
Okay.
Okay.
Better together
Down for whatever
ALL: This is where
We're meant to be
Heh, wow!
So good!
[SQUEALS] So good!
MAYA:
Wow, how did we do that?
I know!
ALEX: Yes!
[ALL LAUGHING]
[]
I was really impressed
by all of your songs.
For real.
I was actually in shock.
But unfortunately,
one of you is going home.
I'm sorry, Daniella.
It's okay. I get it.
Technically your song
was structured very well.
But it was safe.
Something special was missing.
It was kind of like you didn't
put enough of you in there.
But I would love for you
to stay one more night
and have some fun. Right, Jen?
Of course.
Hey. Don't stop working,
Daniella.
FANCY G: As I was saying,
lots of great lyrics.
But there was one song
in particular
that really spoke to my heart.
It felt like it was
written by a pro.
And it really,
really inspired me.
Great songs are honest.
And this song, I found
incredibly honest. Maya.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
Wait, for real?
[ALL LAUGH]
Yes, for real.
You put so much of yourself
out there and were so brave.
You wanna get up
and sing a little bit?
Um, okay.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
But can Charlie and Alex
join too?
I mean, we sort of...
This is not a group project.
Oh, I know.
It's just that last night...
Fancy G is right.
Um, we're happy
you're all bonding,
but this is an audition
for one spot.
Okay. All right.
[CHIMES]
[PLAYING SOFTLY]
[BEAT STARTS PLAYING]
Drop in the ocean
Heart was hopin'
One day I'd find home
Under streetlights
What would it be like
To have my name be known?
My faith was blind
Followed the signs
Took every wrong turn
But some kind of fate
Lit up my way
And showed what I deserve
Ooh, used to dance
In darkness
Now I'm singing in the sun
Life was feeling heartless
But I still believed in love
Now I'm setting fire
To all that I knew
All that was broken
Gave me a breakthrough
Ooh, now I can feel it
In my soul so strong
I'm where I belong
Where I can be brave
Ride a new wave
Crash and stand up tall
Where I can do it like that
And they still got my back
When I fall, they can run
Pick me up ASAP
When you got real friends
No, you don't gotta ask
Know that, big facts
My faith was blind
Followed the signs
Took every wrong turn
But some kind of fate
Lit up my way
And showed what I deserve
Ooh, used to dance
In darkness
Now I'm singing in the sun
Life was feeling heartless
But I still believed in love
Now I'm setting fire
To all that I knew
All that was broken
Gave me a breakthrough
Ooh, now I can feel it
In my soul so strong
I'm where I belong
[SIGHS]
[ALL APPLAUDING, CHEERING]
Wow.
That's a song.
Girl, you definitely
belong here.
Hoo! I have all the feels.
[BLOWS LOUDLY]
I'm sorry.
[LAUGHS]
So the next challenge
is all about social media.
We're gonna go on a field trip,
and you'll have the afternoon
to take selfies
while hashtagging "Fancy G."
Let's go.
[GIRLS MURMURING]
Hey.
[ALL CHUCKLING]
I really, really love your song.
Thank you.
Are you coming with us?
Oh, no.
If I go, it'll turn into
a whole thing.
A whole thing?
There's this pack of paparazzi
that follow me, and they make
going out very difficult.
Is it hard?
What?
Fame. I mean, I know
it's amazing and everything,
but do you ever get tired of it?
I've been doing this since I was
your age, and I'm super blessed.
But I think about the little
things that I missed out on.
You know, like prom, homecoming.
Don't even
get me started on dating.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Those don't seem like
little things to me.
I guess not.
Maya, that song
you wrote was incredible.
For real.
Heh, thanks,
but I wish we could've performed
the song we wrote too.
Legit, guys, the three of us
together are a force.
I wonder why
she's so against groups.
Probably Triple Crown.
I mean, she looked like a ghost
when I brought it up.
That's gotta be it.
I wonder what happened.
CHARLIE:
Wait, guys, look.
Maybe they'll have
a record player.
[ALEX LAUGHS]
Cool. Let's go.
[]
MAYA:
This place is... Wow!
HENRI:
Bonjour!
Je m'appelle Henri.
May I help you?
Yes. Uh, hi. We were wondering
if you may have
a vinyl record player.
Bien sr,
let me call my grandson.
He knows all about
the new technology. Jack!
Jack!
Yeah, Pops?
Hey.
These lovely ladies are looking
for a record player.
Oh, cool.
Yeah. Totally. I'm Alex.
Jack.
Yeah, I think we have
a portable one in the back.
I'll go check.
That'd be really cool of you.
Easy, tiger.
[GROWLS]
[ALL LAUGH]
This place has been in my family
since it opened in 1924.
We have treasures
from all over the world.
Take a look around.
Okay.
Guys, look.
"Les Filles de Miel."
The Honey Girls.
French immersion school
since pre-K.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[]
Whoa.
[ALEX CHUCKLES]
They're so beautiful.
CHARLIE: Seems appropriate.
[CHUCKLES]
ALEX:
"Teegan." Cool.
So cool.
"Viv."
"Risa"?
Maybe Teegan, Risa and Viv
were friends,
or maybe they were a group.
Yeah.
How do I look?
[BOTH GIGGLE]
Seriously, you look
c'est magnifique, Risa.
You too, Viv.
[ALEX GIGGLES]
I knew we had
a portable record player.
Bravo!
Les Filles de Miel,
the Honey Girls.
Were they a group?
Ah, oui, in the 1920s.
They were the most sought after
singers in all of Paris.
Legend was, no one knew
their true identity.
Actually?
Vraiment.
When you wear these masks, you
can be whoever you want to be.
Uh, would you mind
taking a video?
Sure.
[ALL GIGGLING]
[TINKLING]
[]
They called me crazy
To believe in magic
But deep inside
My fireworks were flashing
I always knew that
Something good would happen
And I know
You've been feeling it too
We saw what they couldn't
While I was looking for you
You were looking for me
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
All our lives
We dream of something
That would feel like this
Now it's bigger
Better than we could
Imagine it
No more wishing
Nothing's missing
No, we don't need
To search anymore
ALL: Feels like

What we've been looking for
Found what

Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for
It's the beginning
Of the rest of our lives
Don't have a ceiling
No, there ain't no skies
This is what happens
When your hopes stay high
All the beautiful stars
Finding you
We saw what they couldn't
While I was looking for you
You were looking for me
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be

All our lives
We dream of something
That would feel like this

You guys are incredible.
[GIRLS GIGGLING]
Here you go.
Thanks.
You are the Honey Girls.
[GIRLS GIGGLE]
How much for these?
[SCOFFS]
No, no, no.
They are priceless.
I cannot charge for
what is destined to be yours.
Oh, sir, we couldn't take these.
But it already belongs to you.
S'il vous plait.
Let us at least buy
the record player.
That sounds fair. Allez!
I really hope I see you again.
[CHUCKLES]
You definitely will.
Bye, Jack.
[SIGHS]
[GIRLS GIGGLING]
Whoa!
That was amazing!
You think?
We could actually be
Les Filles de Miel.
Totally.
[GIGGLES]
The Honey Girls.
Yeah.
That's awesome, but what about
Fancy G and the contest?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, can't we just do both?
I'm in.
Same.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Good news. The Honey Girl
handle hasn't been taken.
What are you doing?
I just created
our Honey Girls account
and uploaded our first video.
Wow, you're quick.
Yeah.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Is she okay?
She looks sort of lost
or something.
Brit!
CHARLIE: Hey, Brit.
Hey.
What's going on?
What are you doing?
Just what everyone else is.
Trying to find
something to post.
What did you get?
Oh, nothing.
Just some souvenirs, heh.
Wanna hang with us?
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Come on. Heh-heh.
Guys, look at Tate.
[MAYA CHUCKLES]
MAYA:
Oh, yeah.
Ready? "Fancy G" on three.
One, two, three.
ALL: Fancy G!
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
[ALL LAUGHING]
FANCY G:
So...
I've been checking out
your photos,
and while I was looking,
I found an example of a post
full of originality.
While I was looking for you
You were looking for me
Better together
Down for whatever
This is where
We're meant to be
All our lives
We've dreamed of something
That would feel like this
Now it's bigger
Better than we could
Imagine it
No more wishing
Nothing's missing
No, we don't need
To search anymore
Feels like
We have finally found
What we've been looking for
Yeah, so I'm not into groups,
but I love their style.
They remind me
of this party I went to
during Fashion Week
at Versailles.
Mm-hm.
And they tagged me in the post.
What do you think, Jen?
I cannot believe you did that.
JENNY: They're super original.
What if she finds out?
Who are they?
JENNY: The Honey Girls.
They only have one post up,
but it's already going
super viral.
FANCY G: Yeah. They're very talented.
But back to us.
So I've been looking
at your photos,
and they're really cool too.
Now this is the one
I thought said a lot.
Social media should be more
about creating a community
than self-promotion.
Tate, I love that you chose
to post this photo
of all of you guys.
Congrats.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
Yeah.
It seems like
we're missing something
from Hannah.
I couldn't think of anything,
so I just gave up.
You know,
I know it's really hard
to put yourselves out there.
I get it.
Look, we can't get
anywhere in life
if we don't at least try.
Luck is simply when
opportunity meets preparation.
You weren't prepared today,
but like I said,
it just wasn't your time.
But let's have
some fun tonight, okay?
Okay. Thanks, Fancy G.
FANCY G: Thank you, guys.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye.
So hungry.
Let's get some snacks.
I can't believe you tagged
Fancy G. Are you crazy?
If she finds out it's us,
we're all getting kicked out.
Well, it worked.
Nobody recognized
Teegan, Risa or Viv.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
That was crazy.
We're really doing this.
[]
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thank you.
That looks good.
[GASPS]
[WHISPERS]
You'll get them next time.
[WHISPERS]
What are you doing?
Oh!
Maybe if we build up
the Honey Girls big enough,
Fancy G won't care.
She's already a fan, right?
True.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Oh, the record.
I almost forgot.
Oh, yeah. Go get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
JENNY: How's it going over here?
Good, heh.
Totally good.
CHARLIE: Got it.
[TRIPLE CROWN SONG PLAYS
ON RECORD PLAYER]
What's that?
Oh.
Well, um...
Charlie has
a Triple Crown record.
Really? No way.
Yeah.
Should I turn it off?
Heh, no, no.
Whoa, can I see that?
I can't believe
she was in a band.
So cool, right?
I actually love her
even more now.
CHARLIE & ALEX: Same.
[ALL LAUGH]
You have the coolest job
in the world.
Most days I do. I love Fancy G.
She's the best,
but someday I wanna be a manager
just like Mac
and have my own company.
You'd be an amazing manager.
Agreed.
CHARLIE: Agreed.
[CHUCKLES]
What happened to Triple Crown?
It's really sad.
Her band broke her heart.
They were your age when they
started performing together.
One day the band just
walked out on Fancy G.
They were best friends
and then they weren't.
Why? Why did they leave her?
She never knew.
They just said
that they were moving on.
So she signed with Mac,
became Fancy G
and just never looked back.
So that's why
she doesn't like groups.
She always insists
that the only person
you could count on is yourself.
Hey. Wait. I don't mean
to scare you guys.
It's just that being a star
is not all glamour.
It's a lot of work
and a lot of sacrifice.
It's getting late.
See you girls tomorrow.
Bye.
JENNY: Bye.
MAYA: Bye.
I can't believe
they bailed on her.
I know.
I don't know, y'all.
I love the Honey Girls.
I know we came here
for ourselves,
but I feel like
I came here to meet you,
and for us to be a group.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
MAYA & CHARLIE: Same.
[ALL GIGGLE]
I've never really had friends
that get my music or get me.
The song I wrote
wasn't just about the contest.
It was about us.
This is where we all belong.
[CHUCKLES]
Together.
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah-dah, dah-dah
I keep it 110
Cooking up no recipe
Oh, nobody gave it to me
Oh, I keep it
One hundred and ten
Got no blinds
Everybody can see
Oh, got no apology, oh
I went from no luck
To more luck
From zero to more bucks

No brakes, no slow up
I'm making it
I-I-I'm making it

Got me working overtime
Trying to get
More dollar signs

I-I-I'm making it up
As I go
I dream of counting
Count it up
Cooking up no recipe
Oh, nobody gave it to me
Oh, I keep it

In rosy-colored tints
Livin' my life
No, I don't think twice
Add it up

I went from no luck
To more luck
From zero to no bucks

No brakes, no slow up
Mm-hm, whoo
I'm making it
I-I-I'm making it
I'm making it
I-I-I'm making it

I-I-I'm making it up
As I go
I might've had too much
Said I was good
But I made that up
I get two on
When I fill my cup
Tryna get me some...
Welcome, ladies.
This is my stylist
and one of the hottest designers
in the fashion world.
Marline Grayson!
Welcome, everybody.
Today we want to get a sense
of your own personal style.
While I do design the dresses
and looks for Fancy G's videos,
a great designer draws
inspiration from her client.
It's not about me
reinventing Fancy G,
but rather
highlighting who she is.
Today, that's your challenge.
Let's highlight your own style.
Work on your brand.
Think about who you are
and what you wanna represent.
Exactly.
Fancy G and I don't
believe in makeovers.
We believe in takeovers.
Take over and own who you are.
Now, own it.
Or you will be going home.
Roll out the racks.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
Yes, Charlie, this look, it's...
This is perfect.
Uh, but this is
what I wore here.
This color is going to look
beautiful on you. Mm-hm.
Ooh!
[CHUCKLES]
LEXI:
Come on!
[GROANS, THEN SIGHS]
I can see
that you're in the fashion zone.
It is such an honor.
Your 2018 collection
at Paris Fashion Week
was, like, everything.
That dress with the drop back.
You know that Fancy G wore that
to the Grammys?
Yeah, s-she did.
I'll let you
get back to the zone.
Can't wait to see
the final product.
This material
is very impressive.
Okay.
Just say hello
You never know
I might

Kind of highlife
So fly

In the spotlight

FANCY G: Brit, your design skills
are legit.
You are the winner
of today's challenge.
GIRLS: Congratulations.
[CHUCKLES]
So, what's this
whole look about?
I don't know.
Are you in pain?
So much pain.
You can take your heels off now.
[SIGHS]
FANCY G: I know it's hard
to see right now,
but you want your style to
highlight the best parts of you
so that you feel amazing.
That whole skater look that you
came in with, it was great.
Maybe you should
explore that more.
I'm sorry, Lexi.
You're going home.
It's okay. Bye, guys.
Bye, Lexi.
See you.
[]
I wonder what they were like.
Viv, Teegan and Risa.
Think they were
anything like us?
Maybe they were.
Well, you heard what Henri said.
Nobody knew
their identities either.
That's what makes
the Honey Girls so cool.
We can still be ourselves.
And we don't have to give
everything up like Fancy G said.
We can have normal lives too.
But we're down to five girls.
What if one of us goes home?
I feel like we were destined
to be the Honey Girls.
CHARLIE:
But you heard what Fancy G said.
We're not allowed
to be the Honey Girls.
Yet.
If we can make it
to the final three,
maybe we can convince her.
[ALL GIGGLE]
We all just need to hang on
for one more day.
[GIGGLING]
And who are you texting?
Jack from the store.
[GIGGLES]
[GROWLS]
[ALL LAUGHING]
I know you've all dreamed about
what your first album cover
might look like.
Well, here's your shot.
I want you to show off
your own style,
tell your story,
and do it in one photo.
Using the props, costumes
and a little graphic design,
you'll have about two hours
to do your thing.
[RAYELLE'S "DO MY THING"
PLAYING]
Wake up
And I'm ready to roll
'Cause I know
Where I'm going
It don't matter
How long it takes
When I get there I know
I'm gonna be
The best me ever
Already made up my mind
Can't nobody mess
With my flow
'Cause I'm in control
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can
Keep your eyes on me
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll show you
How I do my thing
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Go on, keep your eyes on me
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch how I do my thing
Confident wearing my skin
'Cause I know who I am
Stronger than
I've ever been
And I'm ready to win
I'm gonna be
The best me ever
Already made up my mind
I'm beautiful
Powerful, bold
And I'm in control
Are you okay?
I just... I feel so weird.
I wish I had
my Honey Girls mask.
Cameras freak me out.
What's your favorite thing
to do in the world?
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can keep
Your eyes on me
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll show you
How I do my thing
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This is so cool, Charlie.
It's perfect.
I think we have our winner.
[GIRLS APPLAUDING]
[SQUEALS]
I feel like I got to know
most of you a lot better.
But, Tate,
your cover really didn't
tell me anything about you.
In fact, it reminds me
a lot of, well, me.
Yeah. Seemed like a much
better idea at the time.
You don't have to say it.
I know I lost.
There are no losers here.
It's just not your time.
But I do appreciate
the shout-out though.
Okay, ladies, get some rest.
Tomorrow we are down to four.
[HUMMING]
I love that melody.
What is that?
Something new.
Something I've been working on.
You've been writing?
Yeah.
In fact, I haven't felt
this inspired in years.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Hey, Jen.
Thanks.
[FANCY G RESUMES HUMMING]
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[]
She's so gonna win.
MAYA [SCOFFS]: Yeah.
You literally
just won the album contest.
But you've seen her.
She's like a pro.
So pro. What if one of us
gets tossed tomorrow?
I say tomorrow, we come clean.
Either way.
I mean, if Brit wins,
it just means
one of us is going home
and we just tell Fancy
the truth.
Yeah. Totally.
I don't know.
I don't think
we should decide right now.
We're so close to the end
and they could
throw all of us out
at the same time.
Can we just see
how things go tomorrow?
No matter what we decide,
we'll do it together.
All or nothing?
MAYA & CHARLIE: All or nothing.
Better together, on three.
You're such a jock.
Right.
One, two, heh, three.
ALL:
Better together!
[ALL GIGGLE]
Mom, I really love fashion
and I'm good at it.
This is your big break.
Oh!
CHARLIE:
Hey, Brit?
MAYA: Hey, Brit.
You wanna hang out with us?
[WHISPERS]
No. They're the competition.
We're gonna order room service
and hang out.
Wanna come?
Why?
Why not?
Okay. Uh, maybe.
Actually, maybe you should go.
See if you can get
some dirt on them.
Oh, I... Keep your enemies close.
Mom, I don't... I don't know.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah...
Wow, this is really Fancy G?
So have you always been
into fashion design?
Yeah. Ever since I can remember.
Well, you're really good at it.
Mm-hm.
Thanks.
Can you pass me the Sun Chips?
Yeah.
Oh!
Well, I'm glad nobody saw that,
because I have pizza
all over my shirt.
[BOTH LAUGH]
CHARLIE: It's okay.
You can clean it off
in the bathroom.
Yeah, I'm gonna go do that.
Yeah, heh.
Want some?
BRIT: I'll be right back.
[]
Honey Girls.
[GIRLS LAUGHING]
Did it come out?
Oh, yeah. Um...
You know, it's late
and we have a challenge
in the morning, so...
Okay. Heh.
Okay. Good night.
CHARLIE: Good night.
MAYA: Good night.
Bye.
I really like these.
[MAYA GIGGLES]
[GIRLS LAUGHING, CHATTERING]
I can't believe
I'm actually writing again.
Dude, I'm just happy
you're inspired.
I told you
this contest was fire.
I... I mean, a good idea.
And then there were four.
Wait, where...?
Where's the fourth?
Sorry. Sorry.
So today is
the singing challenge.
Um, wait.
Uh, there's something
that I... I need to say.
What's going on?
Well, um,
I think there's something
that you should all know.
You see, I think it's important
to be honest.
Yes. It's really important
to be honest.
Yeah. I mean,
you wouldn't want someone here
who wants something different
than what you'd want.
Right?
Right.
We had to take that oath
to be truthful.
What is it, Brit?
It's not cool
to lie about who you are.
Music isn't my passion and
I wanna be a fashion designer!
No! No!
Mom?
"Mom"?
BOTH: "Mom"?
WANDA: No!
No! No.
Mom, stop.
[PANTING]
Mom, I'm sorry, but...
I wanna be a fashion designer.
But...
w-we worked so hard.
You.
You worked so hard.
Hold up. You're her mom?
And you've been here
the whole time?
Heh! Oh, my gosh.
You're like
the next-level helicopter mom.
This was your shot
at a bigger life.
Can't you just accept who I am
and support my dreams?
Not your dreams for me?
But I thought
this was your dream.
I'm trying to tell you, it's...
It's not.
Your daughter is
an awesome designer.
As a matter of fact,
Marline Grayson told me
that she wants you
to help design something
for me to wear in my show.
[CHUCKLES]
WANDA:
Brit.
That's amazing.
Really?
I am proud of you
no matter what.
[CHUCKLES]
I am so sorry
I've been so crazy.
Yeah, you're soaking wet.
[CHUCKLES, THEN SNIFFLES]
I'm gonna be who I wanna be.
[WHISPERS]
You should too.
[WHISPERS]
You know?
Come here, Mama.
[CHUCKLES]
I love you.
I love you.
We have to tell her.
Tell me what?
All or nothing.
Okay.
Please understand,
we didn't plan
on this happening.
What's going on?
We just feel like
we're better together.
Yeah.
The three of us.
One night we started
singing together
and it just happened.
It wasn't intentional.
It was just like destiny
for us to meet.
So you're saying
you wanna be a group?
We are a group.
ALL:
We're the Honey Girls.
You're the Honey Girls?
Is that okay?
Is that okay? This is amazing,
are you kidding me?
This is so much better
than I could've imagined.
This is brilliant.
This... This is huge.
Yes. It's genius!
What are you talking about?
This is not genius!
We're looking for
a new solo artist, not a group.
MAC: But, Fancy,
I've been tracking them.
The Honey Girls are blowing up.
They're huge.
And we discovered them.
We can sign them to our company.
You can mentor them
and produce them.
We can put them
on our worldwide tour.
Just think of the ticket sales.
No, Mac!
I don't care about any of that.
I didn't sign up for this.
You didn't sign us up for this.
The Honey Girls are a group.
This is not cool.
It's not cool at all.
Well, wait a second.
Maybe we could
work something out.
There's nothing to work out.
Come on, be reasonable.
You know how I feel.
You know
how I feel about groups.
I care too much
about these girls for that.
But this is different.
You were the star
of Triple Crown.
Everybody knew it.
Even your own bandmates agreed.
[]
What do you mean, they agreed?
You broke us up?
No. Fancy, listen.
The record label
only wanted you.
And Emily and Kelsey,
they didn't wanna hold you back.
All these years, I thought
my best friends just left me.
Do you have any idea
what that did to me?
I'm sorry. I thought you knew.
The contest is over.
I'm sorry. The concert is over.
We are over!
Fancy G?
You really did inspire us.
MAC:
Everything's done.
The sponsors, the label.
Well, you're good
at breaking things up.
So you deal with it!
Fancy.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
We didn't mean
to cause all this.
No, it's not your fault.
[SIGHS]
You should probably
call your parents.
[]
[SIGHS]
I don't see how this could work.
I mean, we live
so far away from each other.
We could FaceTime or Zoom.
Or we could each sing our part
and I can cut it together.
There's gotta be a way.
The Honey Girls are done.
It's over.
Feels like
We have finally found
What we've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
We've been looking
We've been looking for
Found what
We've been looking
What we've been looking
We've been looking for

[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Hi, Fancy G.
We're on our way
to the airport right now.
[]
Change of plans.
ALEX: Wait, what's going on?
MAYA: Where are they taking us?
CHARLIE: Where are we going?
MAYA: I don't know.
Thank you, guys,
for coming back.
You see, the thing about
being an artist
is we get very,
very emotional sometimes.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Losing Triple Crown
really broke my heart.
And I don't want that
for you guys.
I would love for the Honey Girls
to open for me.
If, of course,
you're still interested.
Yes, of course!
Yes, yes, yes!
[GIRLS LAUGH]
FANCY G:
Okay. One thing though.
I think you should keep your
masks for as long as you can.
Okay.
Enjoy the privacy.
Enjoy it just being
about the music.
We need to get over
to the venue for rehearsal.
Okay.
[GIRLS GIGGLE]
[SIGHS]
Hey, you okay?
Yeah.
You know the real reason
I bought this place?
Triple Crown's first
and last gigs were here.
We were so young.
You know, you did all of this.
You discovered these girls.
I'm really proud of you, Jen.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
MAC: Hey, Fancy.
Hmm?
[]
Kels, Em, is that really you?
It's really us.
Hi, Gabby.
Gabby?
Oh, my gosh.
What are you guys doing here?
MAC: Uh...
Is that Triple Crown?
I asked them to come.
So I could apologize
to all of you.
What you had together
was so very special.
And I'm really sorry.
I was so focused
on making you a star
that I forgot about
making you happy.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I guess I just...
I guess I just lost my way.
I think somewhere
I lost my way too.
I missed you guys so much.
Us too.
Oh, you know, the Honey Girls
are gonna need a manager
to navigate these crazy waters.
You know, to negotiate contracts
with record labels
and producers.
Contracts?
Dude, you have ten labels
wanting record deals.
Oh, what?
Really?
He's right. You're gonna need
someone you trust
and who saw something in you
from the very beginning.
I'd love to be the person
that manages the Honey Girls.
Really? That's amazing!
So amazing!
Oh, yeah, I was...
I was probably gonna
suggest you.
It's your time.

BRIT: You guys look so pretty.
I love your outfit.
Thank you. I designed it myself.
Of course you did.
I actually am here
because I have something
for all of you.
Fancy G asked me for a favor.
Your masks are so beautiful,
but they're also 100 years old.
True. Heh-heh.
Very, very delicate.
JENNY:
And they've gotten you this far,
but it's definitely time
to take you to the next level.
I used your original masks
as inspiration.
I hope that you like them.
Whoa!
These are sick.
So amazing!
Oh, my gosh.
You made these?
You really like them?
ALEX: You made this!
They are beautiful.
Heh, okay. Give me a hug.
[ALL SQUEAL, LAUGHING]
They're so cool.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
Good luck. We'll see you after.
Bye, girls.
Bye.
Thank you.
Thank you! Love you guys.
ANNOUNCER [OVER PA]: Welcome to the Like a Diamond
world event.
Let's kick it off
with a greeting
from the one and only Fancy G!
Over the past few weeks,
we've held an audition.
And the funny thing is
that in searching
for the next Fancy G,
I actually found myself again.
All of these girls inspired me
and awakened a part of me
that I haven't
connected to in years.
We realized that they each have
their own unique talent,
and that's what makes them
so special.
So there is
no one winner of the contest.
Tonight, I'd like
to introduce a new group
that has taught me
two very important things:
Always be who you wanna be,
and we are
definitely better together.
Please welcome to the stage
for the first time,
the Honey Girls!
[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

Ooh, can you feel it?
It's waiting for us up ahead
Ooh, can you see it?
It's time to fly away
Jump off the edge
But dreams don't come easy
You gotta believe it
Held on till we found a way
Swam the through the deep end
Changed with the seasons
I know
We've earned our place, yeah
ALL: We followed the stars
Now there's no doubt

You're ready
Nobody can break us
Tear us down
We're ready
To take it up higher
Higher, higher
Into the clouds
We're ready
Ain't no looking down
'Cause forever together
Look at us now
We're ready
We're ready
Ooh, can you see it?
We elevated
To a higher ground
Like ooh
Can you hear it?
That's our destiny
Calling out
But dreams don't come easy
You gotta believe it
Held on till we found a way
Swam through the deep end
Changed with the seasons
I know
We've earned our place
ALL:
We followed the stars
Now there's no doubt
I'm ready, you're ready
Nobody can break us

Louder than words
Hear what I'm saying
My heart is enough
So when you see me around
And you hear that sound
Turn it up
'Cause I could get louder
La, la, la, la, la, loud
Louder
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, loud
Louder
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, loud
Louder
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, loud
Louder
