Previously on "Astrid and
Lilly Save The World"
Back up!
Everywhere I go today,
there's people dancing.
It's like they're
not even there mentally.
Somebody named Astrid
has a date tonight.
Ooh, you got matching tattoos.
Lab partner bonding thing?
It's contagious?
I haven't seen you audition before.
Hey, have you seen Tate?
I heard what your dad said.
That sucks.
I'm just messing with ya.
No! No
Damn it, Valerie!
You scared the shitballs out of us!
We thought somebody
was trying to kill you.
Well, someone might as well
because my career?
It's over!
What? No!
It's not over.
Sure, you didn't get
the part you wanted,
but at least you got
crocodile?
Romeo & Juliet doesn't
even have a crocodile!
Hey!
Eggs got Romeo. Good for him.
Ah, look, Candace got Juliet.
Who the hell cares?
Hey, hot stuff.
Can I get a piece of that?
Wow, how about, "Hey, Candace,
congratulations on getting
the lead in the school play"?
You actually got the lead?
How was I supposed to know?
Maybe if you cared about
something other than soccer?
Like, I don't know, me?
Tate Hudson,
please report to the soccer field.
Gotta go.
I'll see you at the scrimmage?
Hey! Uh
Heard you snagged Juliet. Congrats.
Thanks. It's a little
intimidating, to be honest.
Lotta lines.
Ah, you'll be awesome.
Just think of all the
Bible verses you've memorized.
Thanks. Um
Maybe you can help me run lines?
Like, today after school?
Wouldn't you rather practice with Tate?
I don't think he'd get it.
Or care.
Sure. Yeah.
Do you want to meet at my place?
Yeah, all right.
Sounds good.
See ya.
Hey, so, did you, uh,
clock any of those,
like, weird tattoos
Why were you talking to Candace?
Oh, she, um
Oh! Sparrow!
Oh! What's it say?
The other night was killer.
- Hang again soon?
- Ah
Maybe meet Philbert?
Oh, my gosh!
Okay, so what's date two?
Bowling? Drive-in? Herpetarium?
I'm not sure how this stuff works.
I don't know.
- Don't want to seem too eager.
- Hm.
Should probs keep him guessing.
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me! It wa
Well, I, um
I'm sure, by now,
you've all heard the rumors.
I will not be playing Pine Academy's
- Juliet.
- Okay.
Instead, I will be playing
the supporting role
of
Of who?
The supporting role of
Nobody?
No, I can't, I'm sorry! I'm so
There's a school play?
Dad, why did you bring me out here?
I invited a soccer
scout from my alma mater
to come watch the scrimmage tonight.
I took the day off work so we
can make sure you're ready.
We're gonna practice all day.
Dad, do I really have to do this?
I already practiced a
ton with Coach and I
kinda got some stuff going on right now.
Nothing that can't wait
'til after the game.
Soccer is the only important
thing you've got going on, Tate.
What the hell happened back there?
I'm not totally sure.
I mean, Val is a drama kid.
Could have been her
thespian tendencies at play?
Yeah, it checks out.
Oh, my God! Did Sparrow get you that?
Oh, that's totally adorbs!
That's totally not adorbs?
It just freaks me out.
Am I supposed to get him a gift?
What if I get the wrong thing?
Mm, I don't know.
Actually, I gotta go.
I have to grab a script
for the school play.
I thought you said you
were doing set dec?
I am. Um
but I just want to see
how badly Michelle butchered the script.
If anybody could make Shakespeare
harder to understand, it's her.
Mm, yes.
How's tonight?
Hmm
Happy birthday.
What the?
Astrid.
Astrid!
Astrid! Astrid!
Oh! Lilly!
You'll never believe what just happened.
You found a creepy-ass
Jack-in-the-box and
you couldn't stop
yourself from opening it
and then it sent you to a weird
and scary place and?
Yeah.
Brutus?
Brutus.
- Brutus!
- Brutus, where are you?
Brutus, it's an emergency!
Geez, get a bed already.
Brutus?
Hey!
Hey, we need to talk to you.
We just saw these creepy
Jack-in-the-boxes.
What's in the box?
That's from "Seven."
I watched a lot of movies
and you were right:
the '90s were the best!
What do you think was in that box?
Okay, Brutus, focus!
What the hell is going on?
Those things transported us
to another world, or some shit!
Well, the good news is it's the
monster you need for the orb.
The bad news is it's a Memoragatu.
Uh, it's
Uh Oh!
Ah-ha! Memoragatu:
a monster that, once it touches you,
forces you to relive your worst memory.
The flashbacks will happen
more and more frequently
until you get stuck in a loop,
at which point the monster
will trap you in your own box
so you can feed off your trauma forever.
All that from a stupid Jack-in-the-box?
Hey, even in my dimension
that stuff is scary AF.
Oh, and also
you need to recover its creepy eye,
the A-borg, for the orb.
You've been crying.
Oh, my God! Did the
monster get you, too?
Yes.
But it's fine
because it affects monsters
differently, okay?
I'm not being forced to look at my
worst memory of all! Only the best!
See?
Tears of joy!
Well, happy memories or not,
we need to whoop this thing's ass
before it traps us all forever!
Right, so how do we find it?
The toy boxes disappeared.
Well, this is where it gets tricky.
In order to defeat the Memoragatu,
you have to beat it twice:
once in your memory
and once in the real world.
Mm, there was no monster in my memory.
What about you, Astrid?
No. No monster.
Also
kids at school
have been getting this
weird symbol as a tattoo.
At first we thought it was
some new, trendy bullshit,
but it keeps showing up.
Do you think it's a clue?
It's cool!
But it doesn't look familiar to me.
Wait!
Are tattoos cool? Should I get a tattoo?
Okay, so now we know
what we're dealing with.
Mm.
Wanna meet up at HQ
after school to figure out
how to beat this thing?
And figure out WTF is up
with those weird tattoos?
Um, actually I can't after school today.
Why not?
Okay, I can't
after school today
- Um-hm?
- Because
I promised Candace I'd
help her run lines.
Candace?
Why the hell would you help Cand
Oh, my God.
That's why you needed the scripts.
Good luck.
Not like Christine is gonna welcome you
into her house with open arms.
Oh, my God.
You're gonna be
practicing at headquarters?
Look, Astrid, I'm sorry
Hey, no, what the hell, Lilly?
You know my mom barely
lets me have my own room
and now you're taking
goddamn Candace to HQ?
- Look I promised I'd help her.
- Oh, my God.
And I'll hide all of our
Pudge Patrol stuff!
Maybe after school, you can
come by and you can grab
some of the stuff and start
working on the case alone?
Oh, my God! No! Hell, no!
If this monster is such
a low priority for you,
it can wait until after you
and Princess Candy Turd
are done.
Call me when you remember
she's a human nightmare.
Can't make it tonight. Break a leg.
Why the hell would she say that?
Fu
Ow!
Ah, come on!
Whatever!
You don't deserve that trophy.
You missed the penalty kick.
You call that playing soccer?
You embarrass me.
You suck, Hudson!
You embarrass me.
What just happened?
Dad, I think I hurt my foot.
You okay?
Yeah, I guess.
Okay, good.
This is the big one.
Don't screw it up.
Mrs. Powell!
Oh! No, no, no.
It's Ms. Powell since
my-my husband passed.
Ah, right.
So sorry about that.
Yeah, yeah, it's hard
being a widow.
Harder than being married?
Amen!
Oh, well, I imagine being divorced
is no picnic either.
Are you staying to watch the game?
No. No, unfortunately,
I'm just here to pick up
some more kids for youth group.
Just sorry you and Candace
won't be joining us for Tate's big game.
Candace isn't here?
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine,
The gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing
blokes, readily stand
To smooth that rough touch
with a tender kiss.
Good mate, you do wrong
your hand too much.
Oh, no!
I know, I know.
I need to work on my accent.
No, no, no, it's, um
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
Uh
speaking of accents,
do you remember when we were little
and we used to act out
those terrible sketches
and force your little sister
to be our audience?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
that's why she hates me now.
I have to get this.
She'll just keep on calling.
Yeah. No problem.
- Hi, Mom.
- Sweetie
are you okay?
I heard you had a fight with Tate.
I'm fine. He's just being dumb.
Where are you? I'll come
pick you up for youth group.
I'm, uh, I
I'm-I'm at the mall.
You know, just-just
blowing off some steam.
Okay, just
don't blow too hard!
Why don't we just lose
the accent for now
and just work on the lines?
Sure.
Good bloke,
you do wrong your hand too much.
Such mannerly devotion shows in this
For saints have hands,
and mates' hands do touch.
And palm to palm
is holy palmers' kiss.
Lilly?
Happy Birthday.
What scene is that?
Lilly!
What? Sorry. Uh, nothing.
Christine just called,
and said there was
a youth group meeting tonight.
So?
So, you were supposed to be there!
Well, I'm going on a date
with a boy from Sin-Away Camp.
Does that count?
I wish you would just
give it a chance, Astrid.
It could help you. And
Christine is a friend.
What the hell do you and
Christine have in common?
Language!
And plenty of things.
For starters, we're both
Enormous pains in my ass.
Astrid, why are you being so difficult?
Astrid, I'm talking to you!
Mom, I need it.
What?
But I need it.
I'm not dealing with this.
Damn right you need it.
You need your hearing checked.
I need it.
Come on, guys!
Walk like you mean it! Come on!
We mustn't keep him waiting.
Hello, partner.
Hm.
New recruits.
They'll do but I need more.
Hi! Michelle?
Y-yes, it's Christine Powell.
I'm volunteering
as a chaperone for the dance.
What are we building?
It's called a Master Orb.
The only one of its kind.
Step forward.
It's going to open
all of the dimensions for me,
just like I've always wanted.
And deserved.
Cool, ancient one.
You call that an elastico?
Come on, Tate, step it up!
What the?
You call that playing soccer?
You embarrass me!
We're gonna practice all night
'til you learn how not to screw up.
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Uh!
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Fire burn and cauldron bubble!
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf!
Witches' mummy, maw and
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me!
It wa
It wasn't me!
Double, double, toil and trouble.
It wasn't me.
No! No! No!
No!
Brutus!
No!
No, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No!
Brutus!
- Brutus, wake up!
- No!
No? What do you mean, no? Get up!
No. No. No!
Astrid!
Who let you in?
Damn, girl, you look good!
I was supposed to
go on a date with Sparrow
Just one problem.
I keep getting sucked into
this stupid monster's
stupid memory world!
Okay. What do you want to do?
You want to run some
drills, or something?
No! I wanna kick its ass
and be done with it!
- Right.
- I've had enough.
Oh, you and me both, girl.
I thought you said
the monster makes you
relive a happy memory.
I did. I
I did.
And I want to beat it
for you guys, obviously.
Okay, great. Let's go do it, then.
Ah, not so fast.
Ah, first of all,
I refuse to ruin your date outfit
because that is Mm!
And, secondly,
it's not that simple, kiddo.
Remember what I told you
about the Memoragatu?
In order to defeat it in the real world
you first have to defeat
it in your memory.
That's just stupid!
There is no monster in my memory!
I don't know what to tell you.
This is going to be
our greatest battle yet.
If you want to take it on,
you're gonna need Lilly.
Where is Lilly?
Lilly?
Are you okay?
Oh, God.
Happy birthday!
You're not invited to my party anymore.
Actually,
I don't want to be
friends at all anymore.
You just don't
fit in.
Candace, come open your gifts.
Lilly!
Hey.
Where'd you go there?
Uh, I
must have fallen asleep
with my eyes open.
That's a glowing review.
I know my accent needs work
but you don't have to be
mean about it. Jeez.
- That's not what I meant.
- Hey!
You two have been at it a long time.
You must be hungry. There you go, babe.
Guess your parents
don't like me very much.
I mean
can you blame them?
What the hell was that?!
I I just lost focus for a second.
I told you, I got a lot on my mind.
Like what?
Nothing is more important
than you nailing this!
I'll see you back out there.
Focused, this time!
Screw this.
Candace,
you literally woke up
one day and decided
we're no longer friends.
And at your own goddamn
birthday party, no less.
What are you talking about?
That's-that's not what happened.
That's exactly what happened!
I remember it
like it was five seconds ago.
I didn't decide anything.
It was my mom.
What was your problem?
Was it how I look?
Was it because my moms are gay?
Lilly, I
I think you're so
so pretty, okay?
And-and I would
And I would never want you to think
that I have a problem
with anyone being queer,
you know? Actually, I
Save it, Candace.
Maybe we can't be friends.
Maybe we can't.
Astrid, come on, pick up.
If you're not going to help me
without Lilly,
then I'm leaving 'cause I got a date.
Look, Astrid
I don't think this date
is such a good idea.
You know these flashbacks
are going to keep getting
worse and worse
until you're forced to relive the memory
on a loop forever.
Yeah, I already do.
What?
Oh, kinky.
Stop it! This is for your own safety,
in case you get pulled back
into one of your memories.
Well, what happens if we
get pulled into our memories
at the same ti
That would never happen!
Happy birthday.
Mom?
Where's Charlie?
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday!
You're not invited to my party anymore.
Actually, I don't want
to be friends at all anymore.
You just don't
Don't?
Fit in.
What the?
Oh, no, it's looping again.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up, wake up
Happy Birthday!
You're not invited to my party anymore.
Actually, I don't want
to be friends at all.
Astrid, where are you?
No.
No, no!
But, Mom, I need it.
I need it.
Astrid, what?
You probably just left
it at the swimming
pool. We can pick it up tomorrow.
No, Mom, I need it
for school, I need it!
I need it.
I can't go to school without it!
Astrid, why are you being so difficult?!
Helen, it's okay.
I'll go get it from the
pool before it closes.
Anything for my special little girl.
Oh!
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
You just don't
fit in.
Ow! Oh, my leg.
Ah.
The monster must be close.
Pull yourself together, Candace.
You have guests.
Oh, my God, concentrate, Lilly!
Oh! Ow! Ow.
And go play with your little friends.
Oh, my God. Candace was right.
It's not what happened.
Happy Birthday!
You can't come to my party.
I'm not allowed to be friends
with you anymore.
We would just prefer
if Candace played with friends
who share our values.
You and your
family
don't really fit in.
The monster within the memory.
Pull yourself together, Candace.
You have guests.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I said stop crying!
We were kids.
How could someone do
that to a freaking child?
Get it together and go play
with your real friends.
There's nothing wrong
with me, or my moms!
You'll thank me when you're older.
Oh, go to hell, Christine!
I'm back.
Oh. Astrid!
Astrid! Astrid!
Astrid, you have to wake up.
Astrid, wake up, wake up!
This is all your fault!
Mom
I need it!
I need it! I need it, I need it!
Astrid, I need you!
Tate?
Tate
Tate!
Lilly, what's going on?
Have you, uh, been
experiencing any, like,
childhood trauma lately?
- Yeah, all day, actually.
- Okay. Great.
Here's the thing: it's
actually a monster
that's been making everyone
remember things differently
and-and-and you can't escape it
so you have to give
Shit!
So, you have to remember
what really happened
so you can break the cycle
before she traps you forever.
You call that playing soccer?
You embarrass me!
You suck, Hudson!
Wait
Lilly was right.
There's no way my peewee
teammates were that hardcore.
And there's no crowd in a locker room.
That's not what happened.
Hey, good game!
Thanks.
Looks like you need some practice.
Why are you treating me like shit?
Can you just be my dad for a second?
Is that what you think?
Listen,
you're a really good soccer player
and if you score those penalty kicks,
well, you could be
one of the great ones.
I'm sorry if I push you too hard.
The world isn't an easy place.
But that's all I want for you.
To have more chances
than I started out with.
You get so hung up on me being the best
that I forgot that's how you feel.
I guess I just wanted you to
know me outside of soccer, too.
- What the hell?
- Shit!
What's the plan? I play
wingback, you play striker?
- What?
- How can I help?
Uh, distract her?
- How?
- Improvise!
Improvise? What do you mean impro?
Knock, knock.
Damn it!
Oh, Astrid.
Stupid super leg.
Astrid, listen to me:
I know where the monster sent you,
but it's not your fault.
You have to
snap out of it!
It's not your fault.
I promise, it's not your fault.
Astrid! Astrid!
Helen, it's okay.
I'll go get it before the pool closes.
No, Dad, don't!
Anything for my special little girl.
Astrid! Astrid!
Lilly?
It's making you remember things wrong
so you can't escape!
But
This is all your fault!
That's not what happened.
Helen, it's okay.
I have to run to the office anyway
so I'll drop by the pool
before it closes.
Anything for my special little girl.
Sweetie
your father
He was in an accident.
It was my fault, wasn't it?
Of course not.
It wasn't your fault!
It
wasn't
my fault.
Are you back?
I'm back.
Thank God!
A little help here!
Please tell me you guys have
a secret weapon or something.
Yup. It's you!
What?!
Oh, we need to get its A-borg.
Its what the what?
Its eye!
Take her to the fence!
Lilly: Oh, my God.
Ah!
This is getting ridiculous.
Okay.
Oh.
We're going to need that orb.
I still don't really get what happened.
Um
Gas leaks!
Oh, yeah, uh,
there's a bunch of gas leaks
in one of the mines
making people hallucinate
all kinds of weird shit.
Yeah, of course, a-a gas leak
Because that would explain
what that smell is.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
I guess we owe you?
Yeah, um
Could you guys walk me home?
Uhh
Sure.
So, who's gonna explain
all this freaky monster shit?
How much time do you have?
Yeah.
Hm.
Hey! You were right.
What happened back then wasn't okay
but it also wasn't your fault.
We can still hang out if you want.
Play practice tomorrow?
Thanks for walking me home first.
Hm. I mean
I live, like, three
blocks that way, so
- Yeah.
- You're right.
Well
Goodnight.
Hey, Astrid
I know your memory was
I don't want to talk about it.
It was right before
you moved to Coppers Cove.
Mine was around the same.
Astrid
I'm so sorry about what
happened with your dad.
But I'm also
so,
so damn happy that you
came into my life when you did.
I love you, you know.
I love you, too.
All right, all right.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh.
Uh
Uh
Astrid?
Mom! I I
I've been calling you all night.
Just
Don't do that again.
You know where my mind goes
when I don't hear from you.
I know. I know, I know.
I won't. I'm sorry.
There's something else I want to say.
When we first moved here,
after your dad died,
church gave me a place to go.
People I could talk to.
I just want those things
for you, too, so
if you get them somewhere else,
that's okay.
You don't have to go back.
Seriously?
Wow.
Cool.
You know, you scared the
shitballs out of me tonight.
Mom! Language!
Hope you had fun on your date.
Goodnight, Sinta.
Goodnight, Mom.
Oh, shit!
Okay.
"I'm sorry I bailed on you
because I was
fighting monsters.
Also, I
like you sooo
damn much
and that
low-key
"terrifies me."
Yeah.
Yeah, that'll make
him run for the hills.
Sorry
Something came up.
Send. Oh
Damn it.
Popcorn's ready!
Coming!
Lilly Save The World"
Back up!
Everywhere I go today,
there's people dancing.
It's like they're
not even there mentally.
Somebody named Astrid
has a date tonight.
Ooh, you got matching tattoos.
Lab partner bonding thing?
It's contagious?
I haven't seen you audition before.
Hey, have you seen Tate?
I heard what your dad said.
That sucks.
I'm just messing with ya.
No! No
Damn it, Valerie!
You scared the shitballs out of us!
We thought somebody
was trying to kill you.
Well, someone might as well
because my career?
It's over!
What? No!
It's not over.
Sure, you didn't get
the part you wanted,
but at least you got
crocodile?
Romeo & Juliet doesn't
even have a crocodile!
Hey!
Eggs got Romeo. Good for him.
Ah, look, Candace got Juliet.
Who the hell cares?
Hey, hot stuff.
Can I get a piece of that?
Wow, how about, "Hey, Candace,
congratulations on getting
the lead in the school play"?
You actually got the lead?
How was I supposed to know?
Maybe if you cared about
something other than soccer?
Like, I don't know, me?
Tate Hudson,
please report to the soccer field.
Gotta go.
I'll see you at the scrimmage?
Hey! Uh
Heard you snagged Juliet. Congrats.
Thanks. It's a little
intimidating, to be honest.
Lotta lines.
Ah, you'll be awesome.
Just think of all the
Bible verses you've memorized.
Thanks. Um
Maybe you can help me run lines?
Like, today after school?
Wouldn't you rather practice with Tate?
I don't think he'd get it.
Or care.
Sure. Yeah.
Do you want to meet at my place?
Yeah, all right.
Sounds good.
See ya.
Hey, so, did you, uh,
clock any of those,
like, weird tattoos
Why were you talking to Candace?
Oh, she, um
Oh! Sparrow!
Oh! What's it say?
The other night was killer.
- Hang again soon?
- Ah
Maybe meet Philbert?
Oh, my gosh!
Okay, so what's date two?
Bowling? Drive-in? Herpetarium?
I'm not sure how this stuff works.
I don't know.
- Don't want to seem too eager.
- Hm.
Should probs keep him guessing.
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me! It wa
Well, I, um
I'm sure, by now,
you've all heard the rumors.
I will not be playing Pine Academy's
- Juliet.
- Okay.
Instead, I will be playing
the supporting role
of
Of who?
The supporting role of
Nobody?
No, I can't, I'm sorry! I'm so
There's a school play?
Dad, why did you bring me out here?
I invited a soccer
scout from my alma mater
to come watch the scrimmage tonight.
I took the day off work so we
can make sure you're ready.
We're gonna practice all day.
Dad, do I really have to do this?
I already practiced a
ton with Coach and I
kinda got some stuff going on right now.
Nothing that can't wait
'til after the game.
Soccer is the only important
thing you've got going on, Tate.
What the hell happened back there?
I'm not totally sure.
I mean, Val is a drama kid.
Could have been her
thespian tendencies at play?
Yeah, it checks out.
Oh, my God! Did Sparrow get you that?
Oh, that's totally adorbs!
That's totally not adorbs?
It just freaks me out.
Am I supposed to get him a gift?
What if I get the wrong thing?
Mm, I don't know.
Actually, I gotta go.
I have to grab a script
for the school play.
I thought you said you
were doing set dec?
I am. Um
but I just want to see
how badly Michelle butchered the script.
If anybody could make Shakespeare
harder to understand, it's her.
Mm, yes.
How's tonight?
Hmm
Happy birthday.
What the?
Astrid.
Astrid!
Astrid! Astrid!
Oh! Lilly!
You'll never believe what just happened.
You found a creepy-ass
Jack-in-the-box and
you couldn't stop
yourself from opening it
and then it sent you to a weird
and scary place and?
Yeah.
Brutus?
Brutus.
- Brutus!
- Brutus, where are you?
Brutus, it's an emergency!
Geez, get a bed already.
Brutus?
Hey!
Hey, we need to talk to you.
We just saw these creepy
Jack-in-the-boxes.
What's in the box?
That's from "Seven."
I watched a lot of movies
and you were right:
the '90s were the best!
What do you think was in that box?
Okay, Brutus, focus!
What the hell is going on?
Those things transported us
to another world, or some shit!
Well, the good news is it's the
monster you need for the orb.
The bad news is it's a Memoragatu.
Uh, it's
Uh Oh!
Ah-ha! Memoragatu:
a monster that, once it touches you,
forces you to relive your worst memory.
The flashbacks will happen
more and more frequently
until you get stuck in a loop,
at which point the monster
will trap you in your own box
so you can feed off your trauma forever.
All that from a stupid Jack-in-the-box?
Hey, even in my dimension
that stuff is scary AF.
Oh, and also
you need to recover its creepy eye,
the A-borg, for the orb.
You've been crying.
Oh, my God! Did the
monster get you, too?
Yes.
But it's fine
because it affects monsters
differently, okay?
I'm not being forced to look at my
worst memory of all! Only the best!
See?
Tears of joy!
Well, happy memories or not,
we need to whoop this thing's ass
before it traps us all forever!
Right, so how do we find it?
The toy boxes disappeared.
Well, this is where it gets tricky.
In order to defeat the Memoragatu,
you have to beat it twice:
once in your memory
and once in the real world.
Mm, there was no monster in my memory.
What about you, Astrid?
No. No monster.
Also
kids at school
have been getting this
weird symbol as a tattoo.
At first we thought it was
some new, trendy bullshit,
but it keeps showing up.
Do you think it's a clue?
It's cool!
But it doesn't look familiar to me.
Wait!
Are tattoos cool? Should I get a tattoo?
Okay, so now we know
what we're dealing with.
Mm.
Wanna meet up at HQ
after school to figure out
how to beat this thing?
And figure out WTF is up
with those weird tattoos?
Um, actually I can't after school today.
Why not?
Okay, I can't
after school today
- Um-hm?
- Because
I promised Candace I'd
help her run lines.
Candace?
Why the hell would you help Cand
Oh, my God.
That's why you needed the scripts.
Good luck.
Not like Christine is gonna welcome you
into her house with open arms.
Oh, my God.
You're gonna be
practicing at headquarters?
Look, Astrid, I'm sorry
Hey, no, what the hell, Lilly?
You know my mom barely
lets me have my own room
and now you're taking
goddamn Candace to HQ?
- Look I promised I'd help her.
- Oh, my God.
And I'll hide all of our
Pudge Patrol stuff!
Maybe after school, you can
come by and you can grab
some of the stuff and start
working on the case alone?
Oh, my God! No! Hell, no!
If this monster is such
a low priority for you,
it can wait until after you
and Princess Candy Turd
are done.
Call me when you remember
she's a human nightmare.
Can't make it tonight. Break a leg.
Why the hell would she say that?
Fu
Ow!
Ah, come on!
Whatever!
You don't deserve that trophy.
You missed the penalty kick.
You call that playing soccer?
You embarrass me.
You suck, Hudson!
You embarrass me.
What just happened?
Dad, I think I hurt my foot.
You okay?
Yeah, I guess.
Okay, good.
This is the big one.
Don't screw it up.
Mrs. Powell!
Oh! No, no, no.
It's Ms. Powell since
my-my husband passed.
Ah, right.
So sorry about that.
Yeah, yeah, it's hard
being a widow.
Harder than being married?
Amen!
Oh, well, I imagine being divorced
is no picnic either.
Are you staying to watch the game?
No. No, unfortunately,
I'm just here to pick up
some more kids for youth group.
Just sorry you and Candace
won't be joining us for Tate's big game.
Candace isn't here?
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine,
The gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing
blokes, readily stand
To smooth that rough touch
with a tender kiss.
Good mate, you do wrong
your hand too much.
Oh, no!
I know, I know.
I need to work on my accent.
No, no, no, it's, um
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
Uh
speaking of accents,
do you remember when we were little
and we used to act out
those terrible sketches
and force your little sister
to be our audience?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
that's why she hates me now.
I have to get this.
She'll just keep on calling.
Yeah. No problem.
- Hi, Mom.
- Sweetie
are you okay?
I heard you had a fight with Tate.
I'm fine. He's just being dumb.
Where are you? I'll come
pick you up for youth group.
I'm, uh, I
I'm-I'm at the mall.
You know, just-just
blowing off some steam.
Okay, just
don't blow too hard!
Why don't we just lose
the accent for now
and just work on the lines?
Sure.
Good bloke,
you do wrong your hand too much.
Such mannerly devotion shows in this
For saints have hands,
and mates' hands do touch.
And palm to palm
is holy palmers' kiss.
Lilly?
Happy Birthday.
What scene is that?
Lilly!
What? Sorry. Uh, nothing.
Christine just called,
and said there was
a youth group meeting tonight.
So?
So, you were supposed to be there!
Well, I'm going on a date
with a boy from Sin-Away Camp.
Does that count?
I wish you would just
give it a chance, Astrid.
It could help you. And
Christine is a friend.
What the hell do you and
Christine have in common?
Language!
And plenty of things.
For starters, we're both
Enormous pains in my ass.
Astrid, why are you being so difficult?
Astrid, I'm talking to you!
Mom, I need it.
What?
But I need it.
I'm not dealing with this.
Damn right you need it.
You need your hearing checked.
I need it.
Come on, guys!
Walk like you mean it! Come on!
We mustn't keep him waiting.
Hello, partner.
Hm.
New recruits.
They'll do but I need more.
Hi! Michelle?
Y-yes, it's Christine Powell.
I'm volunteering
as a chaperone for the dance.
What are we building?
It's called a Master Orb.
The only one of its kind.
Step forward.
It's going to open
all of the dimensions for me,
just like I've always wanted.
And deserved.
Cool, ancient one.
You call that an elastico?
Come on, Tate, step it up!
What the?
You call that playing soccer?
You embarrass me!
We're gonna practice all night
'til you learn how not to screw up.
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Uh!
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Fire burn and cauldron bubble!
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf!
Witches' mummy, maw and
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me!
It wa
It wasn't me!
Double, double, toil and trouble.
It wasn't me.
No! No! No!
No!
Brutus!
No!
No, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No!
Brutus!
- Brutus, wake up!
- No!
No? What do you mean, no? Get up!
No. No. No!
Astrid!
Who let you in?
Damn, girl, you look good!
I was supposed to
go on a date with Sparrow
Just one problem.
I keep getting sucked into
this stupid monster's
stupid memory world!
Okay. What do you want to do?
You want to run some
drills, or something?
No! I wanna kick its ass
and be done with it!
- Right.
- I've had enough.
Oh, you and me both, girl.
I thought you said
the monster makes you
relive a happy memory.
I did. I
I did.
And I want to beat it
for you guys, obviously.
Okay, great. Let's go do it, then.
Ah, not so fast.
Ah, first of all,
I refuse to ruin your date outfit
because that is Mm!
And, secondly,
it's not that simple, kiddo.
Remember what I told you
about the Memoragatu?
In order to defeat it in the real world
you first have to defeat
it in your memory.
That's just stupid!
There is no monster in my memory!
I don't know what to tell you.
This is going to be
our greatest battle yet.
If you want to take it on,
you're gonna need Lilly.
Where is Lilly?
Lilly?
Are you okay?
Oh, God.
Happy birthday!
You're not invited to my party anymore.
Actually,
I don't want to be
friends at all anymore.
You just don't
fit in.
Candace, come open your gifts.
Lilly!
Hey.
Where'd you go there?
Uh, I
must have fallen asleep
with my eyes open.
That's a glowing review.
I know my accent needs work
but you don't have to be
mean about it. Jeez.
- That's not what I meant.
- Hey!
You two have been at it a long time.
You must be hungry. There you go, babe.
Guess your parents
don't like me very much.
I mean
can you blame them?
What the hell was that?!
I I just lost focus for a second.
I told you, I got a lot on my mind.
Like what?
Nothing is more important
than you nailing this!
I'll see you back out there.
Focused, this time!
Screw this.
Candace,
you literally woke up
one day and decided
we're no longer friends.
And at your own goddamn
birthday party, no less.
What are you talking about?
That's-that's not what happened.
That's exactly what happened!
I remember it
like it was five seconds ago.
I didn't decide anything.
It was my mom.
What was your problem?
Was it how I look?
Was it because my moms are gay?
Lilly, I
I think you're so
so pretty, okay?
And-and I would
And I would never want you to think
that I have a problem
with anyone being queer,
you know? Actually, I
Save it, Candace.
Maybe we can't be friends.
Maybe we can't.
Astrid, come on, pick up.
If you're not going to help me
without Lilly,
then I'm leaving 'cause I got a date.
Look, Astrid
I don't think this date
is such a good idea.
You know these flashbacks
are going to keep getting
worse and worse
until you're forced to relive the memory
on a loop forever.
Yeah, I already do.
What?
Oh, kinky.
Stop it! This is for your own safety,
in case you get pulled back
into one of your memories.
Well, what happens if we
get pulled into our memories
at the same ti
That would never happen!
Happy birthday.
Mom?
Where's Charlie?
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday!
You're not invited to my party anymore.
Actually, I don't want
to be friends at all anymore.
You just don't
Don't?
Fit in.
What the?
Oh, no, it's looping again.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up, wake up
Happy Birthday!
You're not invited to my party anymore.
Actually, I don't want
to be friends at all.
Astrid, where are you?
No.
No, no!
But, Mom, I need it.
I need it.
Astrid, what?
You probably just left
it at the swimming
pool. We can pick it up tomorrow.
No, Mom, I need it
for school, I need it!
I need it.
I can't go to school without it!
Astrid, why are you being so difficult?!
Helen, it's okay.
I'll go get it from the
pool before it closes.
Anything for my special little girl.
Oh!
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
You just don't
fit in.
Ow! Oh, my leg.
Ah.
The monster must be close.
Pull yourself together, Candace.
You have guests.
Oh, my God, concentrate, Lilly!
Oh! Ow! Ow.
And go play with your little friends.
Oh, my God. Candace was right.
It's not what happened.
Happy Birthday!
You can't come to my party.
I'm not allowed to be friends
with you anymore.
We would just prefer
if Candace played with friends
who share our values.
You and your
family
don't really fit in.
The monster within the memory.
Pull yourself together, Candace.
You have guests.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I said stop crying!
We were kids.
How could someone do
that to a freaking child?
Get it together and go play
with your real friends.
There's nothing wrong
with me, or my moms!
You'll thank me when you're older.
Oh, go to hell, Christine!
I'm back.
Oh. Astrid!
Astrid! Astrid!
Astrid, you have to wake up.
Astrid, wake up, wake up!
This is all your fault!
Mom
I need it!
I need it! I need it, I need it!
Astrid, I need you!
Tate?
Tate
Tate!
Lilly, what's going on?
Have you, uh, been
experiencing any, like,
childhood trauma lately?
- Yeah, all day, actually.
- Okay. Great.
Here's the thing: it's
actually a monster
that's been making everyone
remember things differently
and-and-and you can't escape it
so you have to give
Shit!
So, you have to remember
what really happened
so you can break the cycle
before she traps you forever.
You call that playing soccer?
You embarrass me!
You suck, Hudson!
Wait
Lilly was right.
There's no way my peewee
teammates were that hardcore.
And there's no crowd in a locker room.
That's not what happened.
Hey, good game!
Thanks.
Looks like you need some practice.
Why are you treating me like shit?
Can you just be my dad for a second?
Is that what you think?
Listen,
you're a really good soccer player
and if you score those penalty kicks,
well, you could be
one of the great ones.
I'm sorry if I push you too hard.
The world isn't an easy place.
But that's all I want for you.
To have more chances
than I started out with.
You get so hung up on me being the best
that I forgot that's how you feel.
I guess I just wanted you to
know me outside of soccer, too.
- What the hell?
- Shit!
What's the plan? I play
wingback, you play striker?
- What?
- How can I help?
Uh, distract her?
- How?
- Improvise!
Improvise? What do you mean impro?
Knock, knock.
Damn it!
Oh, Astrid.
Stupid super leg.
Astrid, listen to me:
I know where the monster sent you,
but it's not your fault.
You have to
snap out of it!
It's not your fault.
I promise, it's not your fault.
Astrid! Astrid!
Helen, it's okay.
I'll go get it before the pool closes.
No, Dad, don't!
Anything for my special little girl.
Astrid! Astrid!
Lilly?
It's making you remember things wrong
so you can't escape!
But
This is all your fault!
That's not what happened.
Helen, it's okay.
I have to run to the office anyway
so I'll drop by the pool
before it closes.
Anything for my special little girl.
Sweetie
your father
He was in an accident.
It was my fault, wasn't it?
Of course not.
It wasn't your fault!
It
wasn't
my fault.
Are you back?
I'm back.
Thank God!
A little help here!
Please tell me you guys have
a secret weapon or something.
Yup. It's you!
What?!
Oh, we need to get its A-borg.
Its what the what?
Its eye!
Take her to the fence!
Lilly: Oh, my God.
Ah!
This is getting ridiculous.
Okay.
Oh.
We're going to need that orb.
I still don't really get what happened.
Um
Gas leaks!
Oh, yeah, uh,
there's a bunch of gas leaks
in one of the mines
making people hallucinate
all kinds of weird shit.
Yeah, of course, a-a gas leak
Because that would explain
what that smell is.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
I guess we owe you?
Yeah, um
Could you guys walk me home?
Uhh
Sure.
So, who's gonna explain
all this freaky monster shit?
How much time do you have?
Yeah.
Hm.
Hey! You were right.
What happened back then wasn't okay
but it also wasn't your fault.
We can still hang out if you want.
Play practice tomorrow?
Thanks for walking me home first.
Hm. I mean
I live, like, three
blocks that way, so
- Yeah.
- You're right.
Well
Goodnight.
Hey, Astrid
I know your memory was
I don't want to talk about it.
It was right before
you moved to Coppers Cove.
Mine was around the same.
Astrid
I'm so sorry about what
happened with your dad.
But I'm also
so,
so damn happy that you
came into my life when you did.
I love you, you know.
I love you, too.
All right, all right.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh.
Uh
Uh
Astrid?
Mom! I I
I've been calling you all night.
Just
Don't do that again.
You know where my mind goes
when I don't hear from you.
I know. I know, I know.
I won't. I'm sorry.
There's something else I want to say.
When we first moved here,
after your dad died,
church gave me a place to go.
People I could talk to.
I just want those things
for you, too, so
if you get them somewhere else,
that's okay.
You don't have to go back.
Seriously?
Wow.
Cool.
You know, you scared the
shitballs out of me tonight.
Mom! Language!
Hope you had fun on your date.
Goodnight, Sinta.
Goodnight, Mom.
Oh, shit!
Okay.
"I'm sorry I bailed on you
because I was
fighting monsters.
Also, I
like you sooo
damn much
and that
low-key
"terrifies me."
Yeah.
Yeah, that'll make
him run for the hills.
Sorry
Something came up.
Send. Oh
Damn it.
Popcorn's ready!
Coming!
