Sister Vs Sister

Oh, it feels so right ♪
Oh, it feels so right… ♪
[Ashtin] You curling your lashes?
Should I start doing that?
Your makeup routine looks so much better
on me than my makeup routine.
Yeah.
Like, I look like you.
Do you still say "6-7"?
-No.
-No?
-No. [laughs]
-Is that not funny anymore?
That was a year ago, bro. [laughs]
[music fades]
I thought everyone was saying "6-7."
[both laugh]
Is it not funny?
-I was gonna say--
-[Izabel] You are unk.
[gasps] Am I unk? I'm not unk.
-I'm knowing the things.
-[laughing]
Look at what I got.
[Ashtin] Yay!
-Oh my God.
-Okay.
[Alix] Look at this setup.
Holy F. Oh, I want everything.
Okay, well, I have a surprise,
and I want you guys to help me with this.
[Ashtin and Izabel] What is it?
[Alix] There's gonna be
my own meal at Dunkin'.
I have a partnership with them.
-Wait, really?
-[Alix] Uh-huh.
-Okay. [squeals] Yay!
-[upbeat music playing]
-Wait.
-So we have to pick out…
It's very important.
We have to pick out
what this meal is gonna be.
This looks really good.
We have Wake-Up Wraps
because those are my favorite.
Coffee, because caffeine is my favorite.
Munchkins, hash browns.
-Oh!
-And donuts!
[Ashtin] Wow.
[Alix] This is a Shaken Espresso.
What if we put the hash brown,
like, on the Wake-Up Wrap?
[Ashtin] Can you do that?
[Alix] Well, I think we can make
whatever for this meal.
That would be next level.
Wait.
[upbeat music continues]
[Ashtin] Give me.
[Alix and Ashtin yelling]
-[Ashtin] Hey!
-Thomas, look what I got!
-Munchkins!
-[Ashtin gasps] Oh my God!
What's your favorite Munchkin?
-[Alix] Let's see.
-Um…
My favorite Munchkins?
-Chocolate. Chocolate!
-I'm a chocolate girl too.
What are these ones?
-Why are they, like, sticky?
-[Alix] Mm…
-They're glazed.
-[Ashtin] They're glazed.
-Oh!
-[Alix] Wait, you know what would be cute?
If I had Munchkins in the meal.
Because you guys
are like my little munchkins.
[all] Oh!
[Ashtin] Do you know what it'll be called?
Just the "Alix Earle Meal"?
-Maybe the "Earle-y Riser Meal"?
-[Ashtin gasps]
-I thought that was cute.
-Like "Earle"?
Yeah. So then I guess
it could really be all of our meal.
This is actually our meal. It's not yours.
-[Alix laughs]
-What is with all the noise here?
-[Alix] We're having a feast.
-[Ashley] Alix, your aura's so next level.
I'm having good aura today?
-Yeah. It's next level.
-It's the push-up bra.
-[Alix gasps]
-[laughs]
It's the push-up bra and the Dunkin'.
No, that's not what "aura" means, Alix!
There's a different thing of aura
that's not spiritually.
-[lively, whimsical music playing]
-[laughing]
I should've hit the other way.
-[gasps]
-[all laughing]
[yells] This is Celine!
-[all laughing]
-[Alix screams]
-[Penelope laughs]
-[gasps]
Stop! Seriously, not on my sweater!
[Alix and Izabel screaming]
Help!
[Alix] Izabel, you're on your own!
[Ashtin] Seriously, someone wipe her down.
[Alix screams] Where's Dad?
-[music fades]
-[Alix and Izabel scream]
-[pop music playing]
-Wake up, and I post online ♪
They check, but they like to scry ♪
Night out, but I'm on my grind ♪
I'm your type… ♪
[indistinct chatter]
[laughs] Oh!
-Oh, yes.
-[woman] Welcome, welcome.
-This is Lawn Club.
-[music fades]
My name's Carmel. I'll be taking care
of you guys food and beverage-wise.
And then this is Angel.
[Angel] My name's Angel.
I'll be your Lawncierge here, basically.
There's Frisbee, there's golf,
there's bocce, so a bunch of stuff.
This is beer pong, but just massive.
-I'd love BP.
-Yeah.
[Julia] Okay. I'll be alone.
You can go together.
-[Angel] It's just like regular beer pong.
-[Alix and Payton] Okay!
-I'm not gonna make one bucket.
-[Payton] You will!
I believe you can. You can stand
up to right here, the second row.
-And you can shoot from there.
-[Julia] Okay. [laughs]
[Julia and Angel gasp, laugh]
Hi! Do you wanna talk about something?
-[laughing]
-[upbeat music playing]
Did you just go?
I'm scared of Alix now.
I met Julia and Payton
through my friend Jake.
And, I mean, the first night we met,
we just all automatically clicked.
And I was like, "These girls are my vibe,
and we're gonna be friends."
And it's important for me
to see my friends and spend time with them
and hang out with them
and just get that good quality girl time
because I don't get to do it
that often with them.
So I wanna make sure
that we're, like, still
just maintaining
and growing our friendship.
-If I get this in, I'm gonna meet a boy.
-[music fades]
Well, hell yeah!
-[all exclaiming]
-[lively music playing]
Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell!
If we get this in,
we're gonna be friends for life.
[Payton] Fine, get it in!
Hi! It went in.
-Hi! Update us. Give us updates.
-[music fades]
Um, what do we
even have updates on?
-Boys?
-[Alix] We're, like--
Reale?
-Launch is coming up, so…
-Life. So exciting.
I'm excited. I'm just trying
to go into it with no stress.
It just sucks that, obviously,
Braxton wouldn't text me congratulations.
I was thinking, I was wondering.
[Alix] I have days now
where I feel really, really good.
-Like today I feel really good.
-That's good.
On top of the world.
And I have super high highs
where I'm, like, feeling insane.
-[Julia] Mm-hm.
-And then I have super low lows.
-There's been no in-between recently.
-[Payton] Yeah.
It's hard on days
when you're traveling by yourself,
and then you get home
and you're alone for a few days and…
-[Alix] Yeah.
-[Payton] It's a lot.
[Alix] But honestly, I don't care
because all I need is my friends.
I'm so excited for our night.
-[Alix] I'm so excited to go out with you.
-[Julia] I know. Same.
I feel like it's always
just Ashtin with you guys.
And she's stealing all my friends.
-[Julia] I know.
-You need to spend more time here.
-I know. You think I should I move here?
-[Julia] Yes!
-Oh my God, please.
-You need to at least--
-I say this about every place I go.
-[Julia and Payton] I know.
-But you do already have a place here.
-But I could split my time with Ashtin.
Stay at her place.
It is crazy, though.
Like, 'cause we talk every day,
so I forget we don't see you every day.
We talk every day,
but I don't ever get to go out
with you guys.
It's like-- I kind of always forget.
[pensive music playing]
I do get jealous when Ashtin hangs out
with the people I introduced her to
and my friends without me.
And then they're all
living in the same city,
getting to do cool things together.
And I'm like, "Wait."
This was like self-inflicted FOMO
because now I can't be there.
And just, like,
having her there makes me feel…
more left out sometimes.
Yeah, we see Ashtin and Sally every day,
and we never get to see you.
-[Payton] Spend more time with us.
-It makes me so upset.
When I see you all together,
I'm like… Mm.
-I know.
-[lively pop music playing]
I like it like this
I like it like that ♪
I want it so bad ♪
I like it like this
I like it like that ♪
What you know about it? Hey… ♪
-[Ashtin] Cute.
-[Sally] Oh my God.
I'm kind of scared.
I've never played padel before.
No, but we're hobbymaxxing.
We're hobbymaxxing.
-Hi, guys. How are you?
-[Ashtin and Sally] Hi!
[both] How are you?
-I am Álvaro. Nice to meet you.
-Sally, nice to meet you.
-Hi, I'm Ashtin. Nice to meet you.
-It's a pleasure.
I have some rackets there for you,
so let's get the racket and we'll start.
-[Ashtin] Perfect.
-A warm-up, okay? Here we go. Come on.
-I'm scared.
-He's hot.
-[Álvaro] Here, I get close! Okay!
-[Ashtin and Sally laugh]
-A smash, now.
-[Ashtin squeaks]
-No.
-[all laugh]
-Very nice. Good control. Come on! Oh!
-[whimsical music playing]
-[Ashtin] Sally, that was a good one.
-I have good control.
-Great shot.
-Why are you better? I hate you.
Ball in the air. Come on.
-Smash.
-There we go.
That was great.
[Ashtin] Oh, fuck.
-There we go. Very nice. Very nice.
-That one was pretty good.
Well done. Very nice.
[music fades]
[Ashtin] Can Alix stop
calling me the Wicked Witch?
-You're not the Wicked Witch.
-Everyone's joining in and laughing.
They're like, "Wicked Witch!"
I'm like, "Okay, I get it."
Are you excited that she's gonna be
spending more time in New York?
Yeah, except… she's too damn messy
in my apartment.
-Like, I always-- Like, I clean…
-I know.
And then, somehow,
there's just more and more mess.
You saw it last night. It's disgusting.
It gives me so much anxiety 'cause, like,
now that I have my own space, it's like…
Sacred.
…my clean, sacred space.
Especially when I take time
to clean my entire apartment.
And then she comes in and just, like,
tornadoes through the entire thing.
There's food everywhere,
and it smells and, like…
Yeah, it's not great.
[Ashtin] It's really annoying.
But I feel like it'll be fun
if she's gonna spend more time here…
-Is she wanting to move here now? No?
-I don't know.
I feel like she's saying she does
'cause she wants to hang out with us more.
-[Sally] Yeah.
-[Ashtin] Alix stays with me quite a bit.
She's always in and out of New York.
But I get a little overstimulated
when Alix is staying at my place because…
I mean, Alix is my best friend,
and I would love to see her all the time
and hang out with her.
But I feel like I've made my own life
here in New York.
And I feel like if she were to come here,
she would kind of, like,
overshadow that a little bit.
She needs to figure it out, though.
It's like she doesn't even care.
If she's gonna be your roommate,
you'll have to have that talk with her.
She doesn't listen to me, though.
She doesn't take me seriously.
[chuckles]
I don't think she listens to anyone.
She follows her bliss.
-She does follow her bliss.
-[lively pop music playing]
That's why she's a big kahuna.
Blow the speakers, lose the lights ♪
Bottoms up and we blur the lines… ♪
-[Alix and Ashtin] Hello!
-[Sally and Julia] Hi!
-[all yelling and exclaiming]
-Turn it up, we can start the night… ♪
[Payton] I'm so excited!
-Look at what I have!
-[Julia] We're wigging out!
I, of course, wish that, like, there were
times where I was just in one place
and could be with my friends
and just, like, spend that, like…
Hi! I'm so excited!
…girl quality time with them.
But there's definitely sacrifices
when it comes to being able to do
the things I'm doing at 25 years old.
But at the same time, I'm not just being
like a normal 25-year-old
and hanging out with my friends.
So I do feel like I miss out
on some of those moments,
but that's a part of it.
[music fades]
I don't have any outfits
because I forgot to pack mine.
-And Ashtin only has grandma clothes.
-[Sally] I did bring one shirt.
We have extra shirts.
I brought a mini dress,
but is that not the vibe?
-[Julia] That's a vibe.
-[Payton] Could be.
She was like, "That's not."
-You're the Wicked Witch. Stop.
-Don't witch.
-I'm not. She can wear her mini.
-She doesn't have an outfit.
-[Julia] Wigging out. Wigging out.
-[Sally] Wigging out. Wigging out.
-Sorry! Deluxe sassy is kinda for me.
-I'd white…
[all laugh]
That's for you.
[Sally and Payton] Deluxe sassy.
[Ashtin] I'm scared to wear these wigs.
They're ugly.
-[Payton] Ashtin!
-[Julia] It's fun.
You picked out ugly wigs.
[Alix] She's always
the fucking Wicked Witch!
-You're witching.
-Like, it's a wig.
-We're not, like…
-You're witching. It's witching hour.
[Alix] The point is not to look good.
It's to have fun and be silly.
Why don't you put on some bronzer?
Maybe that's why you're being a bitch.
-[Sally] Alix.
-[laughing]
[Alix] Maybe we all need
just to have a drink now.
[Ashtin] Is it too early?
I need Ashtin to have a drink before we
rip each other's heads off or something.
[tense music playing]
Alix is always a little bossy to me,
but sometimes it does really kill my vibe.
I'm like, "We're all trying to have fun
and hang out and be friends,
and you're yelling at me."
She kind of takes control
when she's around.
And I feel like
I don't really get to be my own person.
She also tends to be more bossy
when she's stressed
or overwhelmed about something.
So it's her way or the highway.
So what's the vibe going out in New York?
-[Julia] So fun.
-[music fades]
-[Payton] So fun.
-It gets super elite.
But you guys are with the same,
like, people every night?
-I feel like we formed a crew recently.
-Yeah.
We hang out every Sunday…
[Payton] There was a whole friend group
that was just waiting for me.
-No, I've only met the crew once.
-[Alix] What about for me?
-For you too.
-It's for you too.
-I'm excited for you to meet everyone.
-[pensive music playing]
Honestly, growing up,
I had a really hard time making friends.
I just always felt like girl relationships
were hard for me to find,
which is why when I do find my people,
I, like, keep them so close.
And I don't know, I love them so much,
and I don't want them to go anywhere.
So I think it always just, like,
scares me when I feel like
I'm just like an outsider to, like,
their friendship that they have going on.
And it just, like, makes me…
feel a little, like, left out.
Aw, I didn't realize
I was gonna get sad about this.
[exhales]
[music fades]
[Sally] We're wigmaxxing.
[Payton] Wigmaxxing!
-[Julia] Payton, we got the worst wigs.
-[Payton] Obviously.
The worst part is I chose this
and I got first pick.
-And this is what I wanted.
-[Julia laughs] We can't show up in these.
[Alix] Guys, stop being party poopers.
[Sally] Where's the middle?
[Payton] Guys, please.
[Alix] Okay, guys, the stuff is here.
Wig caps will help.
-Okay, let's see.
-[Sally] Ooh!
-[Alix] Yes.
-[lively dance music playing]
[Payton] Caps are here?
[Julia] Caps are here.
Get dressed with us
to go out in New York.
We're wigging out.
-[Payton] We are literal Sims.
-GRWM.
Can you tuck my hair back in for me?
[all laughing]
Ow!
-I think that this could be a good look.
-[music fades]
-Aw, sisters.
-I'm ready to go out.
-Same.
-[Sally] Okay.
-[lively dance music playing]
-[Ashtin yelling and whooping]
[Sally and Payton]
Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell!
-[music stops]
-Oh! [yelps, screams]
[Payton] Come "oh, hell!"
-[Julia] Oh, hell!
-[music resumes]
-[Alix yelling]
-Sweetie, looking good over there.
-[Payton] Oh, hell!
-Just watch us slay… ♪
-Bounce!
-Who's gonna cheers me?
-[Payton] Bonk.
-[Sally and Julia] Bonk.
-Bonk.
-[Sally] Bonk.
-Smile!
-[Julia] Alix is smiling.
-[Sally] She's splitting!
-[Ashtin] Wow.
-[Payton] BK's splitting!
-[Ashtin] She's full-splitting.
Wait, I can't get up. [laughs]
BK is the "big kahuna."
And big kahuna is full of life,
full of energy, being the leader.
She's the most fun.
That's just sort of become my nickname.
I don't even know what a kahuna is.
Aren't kahunas balls?
-Slay ♪
-[music fades]
That's how you know Ashtin's drunk.
-When she starts stretching.
-Can I have a little?
-[Payton] You want the tequi?
-[Julia] Just a little.
-[giggling]
-[Julia] Thank you, that's good.
-OMG. I'm so excited to go out.
-[Sally] BK is with us.
[Julia] But I don't know
that we're gonna find suitors.
-[Payton] Suitors at SUB.
-BK! BK!
[Julia] At SUB? Are we finding them?
-Not knowing.
-[Payton] Maybe. Not likely.
I don't know this language
you guys are speaking in.
-[Julia] Yes, you do. Suitors at SUB.
-Uh, girl…
[Ashtin] Just context clues.
-"Suitors at SUB."
-[Julia] You know.
We're going to (SUB)MERCER.
-Who's "suitors"?
-[Sally laughs]
-A suitor is like someone that suits you.
-[Payton] Suitor! A match. A boy.
A match, a boy, a…
-[Alix] Well, I've never heard of it.
-Well, you're dumb.
[Julia] It's not an us language thing.
-That's a universal situation.
-That's a you being dumb thing.
That's not like a lingo.
That's just you not knowing normal.
But it's the way you guys talk
that I'm not involved in.
-Yeah, you are involved.
-[lively music playing]
You're literally involved.
[Payton] Get involved.
[woman] Can I ask?
Do you guys have
a brunette group chat without Alix?
[music stops]
[music resumes]
-Do they have a group chat without me?
-[woman laughs]
We do have a group chat.
It's me, Sally, Julia, and Payton.
Oh my God, is it, like, "without Alix"?
-[woman laughs]
-[chuckles nervously]
It's not to leave Alix out.
We talk about New York things.
Well, we use it a lot to make plans,
and we make plans, like, every day.
[laughs]
Okay, we might use "Brunettes"
a little bit more than we use "Bejeweled."
Yeah, maybe a little.
Alix, all the top comments on my TikToks
are, "How was your date?"
-[Payton] Well, how was it?
-Stop, it's not that big of a deal!
-It is!
-I just posted something!
You can't just use my life
as disposable content for you.
I'm not going on a date,
so I might as well use you.
-[Ashtin whimpers]
-It's funny, it's so cute.
You have eight million followers,
and you're posting that
"Ashtin's going on a date."
People will ask.
-Are you worried or just being a bitch?
-It's just annoying.
[whispers] Ashtin's going on a date.
I've literally never seen this girl
go on a date, ever.
So what are you gonna talk about?
I don't know.
I literally know nothing about him.
-Are you videotaping me?
-[Alix] No.
-[Izabel] Good luck on your date!
-[TJ] Good luck!
[Penelope] I mean, Ashtin wants to talk.
I told you last night, I said,
"That's embarrassing, don't post that."
-You didn't! You watched me post it.
-[Sally burps]
I said, "Don't post that,
that's embarrassing."
-[Sally] Burpmaxxing.
-You didn't!
And you said, "I need likes on my TikTok."
[Alix] You watched me post it.
You were laughing in the bed with me.
[Ashtin] I didn't sit in bed with you
until I got home.
[Alix] I know,
I didn't post it until you got home.
I swear on my life.
-I didn't see it until the next day.
-I swear on my life.
I posted it at midnight when you got home.
[Ashtin] I still don't like
that you posted it.
-[Alix] Okay, well, maybe I'm helping you.
-[solemn, pensive music playing]
-[Julia] I need to pee.
-Me too.
I'm very grateful for everything
Alix has done for me in my life,
and, you know, I wouldn't be anywhere
without her, realistically.
But at the same time,
I feel like Alix is so used to posting
everything about her own life online,
so, therefore, she thinks
that no one else should care
about what's being posted
about them online.
But the thing is, I do care.
And I don't like to have
all these things out there.
And she just-- I don't know.
I feel like she can be
very dismissive of me as a person.
But sometimes, it is a little hard
for me to stand up for myself.
-[Payton] I liked the video.
-[Julia] Yeah, right? It was cute.
[Sally] I liked it too.
[Alix] I win, they told me.
-[Ashtin groans] Whatever.
-[dance music blares over speakers]
-Girls, tonight's the night. Girls!
-[Payton] Let's go. Can you Lead the way?
-[Julia] I'm locking the fuck in.
-Thank you.
[dance music continues over club speakers]
[Payton] Why is this wig…
-[indistinct chatter]
-Step on the drum and make it go boom… ♪
[Payton] Are you kidding me?!
When we kiss
It's the spice dripping off your lips ♪
Yeah, hot sauce, baby, hot sauce ♪
Baby, baby, baby
Hot sauce, hot sauce, baby, baby, baby ♪
-[Alix yelling]
-I'm alive, baby, give it a twist ♪
Taste the spice dripping off your lips ♪
-Gimme some, gimme, gimme some ♪
-[Alix yelling]
-Gimme some hot sauce ♪
-[Alix continues yelling]
[Ashtin] Are you kidding?!
Are you kidding?!
[electronic dance music
playing over speakers]
[woman 1 yells]
-[woman 2] Ashtin, you look hot!
-[Alix] Tequila or vodka?
-I kinda like clubbing!
-Uh, tequila, please. I'm really…
I'm obsessed with your sister.
I know!
-[electronic dance music continues]
-[indistinct chatter]
[Ashtin] You're okay?
Yeah.
You kinda look like Cleopatra.
[Julia] Are you feeling left out still?
No, it's like--
I feel like it's inevitable, though.
-I know you guys do things.
-You're the busiest girl in the world.
And I see you guys out. And, like…
We don't want
you to feel left out because, like--
I'm not mad.
No, I know.
It's not that I take it out on you guys.
It's more like a self-reflection thing
where I'm like…
Do I make myself so busy
that I can't have the time
to be with my friends,
and, like, live these years
that you guys are doing?
I always-- Like, you guys
have all of these friends here,
and I don't know any of them.
[Julia] I know.
[Ashtin] Do you actually think
that I steal your friends, though?
[Alix] No, I don't think
you steal my friends.
You say that a lot.
Well, you… are friends with all the people
that I was friends with, and it sucks.
It's like, Sally--
We became friends with Payton and Julia
at the same time.
[Alix] I'm happy
you're friends with everyone.
[Ashtin] I know, but, like--
You gotta stop saying that.
It's like…
It makes me feel like I don't deserve
to be in this friend group.
[dramatic, pensive music playing]
Ashtin and I are either really good,
or there's something little that, like…
I can't even explain it.
Like, we'll just both flip a switch,
and I can just feel the tension.
[Payton] Bring it!
-Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell!
-[dramatic pop music playing]
"Look at me" type energy ♪
Her whole ID is "OMG" ♪
-OMG ♪
-[music fades]
-[Alix] I'm staying here.
-[Ashtin] No, you're not.
-[Alix] Yes, I am.
-[Ashtin] You're leaving today.
-[Alix] Uh-uh. I'm leaving tomorrow.
-No, you're leaving today.
You told me you were.
I have two friends coming over.
[Alix laughs] I'm leaving tomorrow.
[Ashtin] Stop it!
You're going to Dad's today.
-[Alix] I'm not.
-Get the fuck out.
I can't take you being here anymore.
Get all your fucking shit out of here.
[Alix] You're being a biatch-atch.
[Ashtin] Because you're fucking annoying,
and I'm sick of you.
-I'm not leaving. I never said I was.
-Yes, you were.
I asked you to go to Dad's on Friday,
because my friends are coming. I told you!
-I'm part of your friends! You invited me!
-You're not! I have two friends coming!
Where the fuck are they gonna stay?
[Ashtin groans]
[Sally] Ashtin, come on.
-[Alex laughing]
-Go to Sally's!
-[Alix] I will leave later.
-[poignant music playing]
Okay. Thank fuck.
[Sally] Please, don't kick her out.
I do feel like this is
another example of how
Alix has taken a personal moment
and posted it online for everyone to see,
and it's just--
Some things don't need
to be posted online,
even though she thinks it's funny.
Everyone's commenting on my post,
saying I'm such a rude sister,
I'm kicking her out,
I'm so ungrateful
for everything she's done for me.
You know, like I'm such a bitch
for yelling at her.
This one really was a lot.

I can't believe
you posted that video of me.
Can you stop being
so dramatic about everything?
-No, but it's seriously annoying.
-Ashtin.
-[music stops]
-Everyone thinks I'm a bitch now.
You are a bitch.
No, I'm not. You're the bitch.
[Ashtin scoffs]
You keep provoking me and pissing me off.
You started this.
You woke up like a witch.
No, I didn't.
-Yes, you did.
-No, I didn't.
You came in kicking
and screaming, and, like,
trying to kick me out
of your apartment, literally.
Yeah, but then you go and make it worse
by fucking filming me.
Maybe you shouldn't have been a bitch
in the first place.
Well, you can't just do that.
-Yes, I can, and I did.
-[tense music playing]
You just have to videotape me
when you know I'm pissed
and post it on TikTok.
Like, you know that just--
You're just doing that to piss me off.
-Yeah.
-Well, why? It's annoying.
You don't have to do that,
and you do it all the time.
[music fades]
Listen, we're going to Mom's.
We're taking the BRCA test.
Like, this is a time we need
to be together, not separate, so…
[poignant pop music playing]
Can we just hold together for today?

-[music fades]
-Mommy!
-[Alisa] Hello!
-[Ashtin] Hey!
-Who's here? Alix and Ashtin! Go say hi!
[Alix] Hi!
-[Alisa] Good morning.
-Hi.
Thanks for coming early
so we can go to the doctor.
Yay, doctor time.
-Hi, Mom.
-[Alisa] You look so cute.
Do you see Alix?
-Do you miss Alix and Ashtin?
-[Alix] Yes.
Hi, poochies!
These bagels are so big.
-[Alix] Oh.
-They're bigger than your head.
-So how are things with Todd?
-[Alisa] Oh, just great.
Do you have, like, any anxieties
about Todd moving in?
No, I'm not worried.
-No?
-No.
We've worked out
all the bumps in the road, I think.
You'll stay together, then?
Well, I think so.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have him move in.
Would you ever get married?
Let's live together for like a year,
and then we'll see about…
Let's not break up for six months,
and then we'll see about that.
-Stay together for more than six months.
-Oh, stop. It's been longer than that.
Are you guys nervous
about taking your test?
-[Ashtin] A little bit.
-Yeah.
[poignant music playing]
So, my mom's taking Ashtin and I
to a genetic counseling testing session
so we can learn about
the BRCA2 gene that she has,
'cause there's a chance we also have it,
and we have to get tested for that
and learn what the risks are.
You're more susceptible
to getting certain types of cancer
like breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
At the end of the day, something like this
makes you realize that, you know,
our stupid sister fights
really aren't important.
Yeah, I think it just
really puts things into perspective.
-And we're so lucky to have each other.
-Mm-hm.
[music fades]
So there's a good chance that…
-One of us has it?
-One of us has it or… both of us?
Yes, hopefully neither of you have it.
-I think this'll be good to know.
-[Alisa] Yeah.
Like, if this didn't happen to you…
[in unison] We would've never done this.
Part of me is, like, eager to learn more
about what this means or could mean for us
because I honestly don't know
too much about it,
and I also want to be able to understand
what my mom is going through.
I'm definitely really nervous
to get this test.
I almost just, like, don't want to do it.
But I am grateful
that we have these resources
to kind of just lay everything out for us.

[music fades slowly]
-[woman] Hi, so good to see you.
-[Alix] Hi.
We're gonna go ahead and get started
with the genetic counseling session.
I just wanted to ask,
how are both of you feeling,
especially with the last couple months,
with everything going on with Mom?
I think for us, like,
we're obviously a little nervous
and there's a lot we don't know.
[Pankti] Yeah. Yeah.
So I want to talk to you about
what types of results to expect at first.
So since Mom has
the BRCA2 genetic finding,
it is a 50-50 chance.
So it is truly a flip of a coin
for both of you to inherit
that genetic change as well.
But what does this mean?
If you test positive, it doesn't mean
100% you're gonna get cancer.
It just means
you're 55% to 69% higher risk
than the general population.
[Alix] I mean, I think it's scary.
-[Pankti] I know.
-[Alix] 'Cause then I'm like…
I don't know. I don't even know
anything yet, but I'm just like…
[Pankti] I know it's scary.
But just thinking, you know, like,
when am I gonna have kids?
What if I don't have kids by ten years?
-You know?
-[Pankti] Yeah.
You're still young and you are healthy.
[Pankti] This is heavy.
People your age are not typically
having these types of conversations.
So it's okay
to just feel what you're feeling.
Um, Ashtin, how are you?
-I'm okay.
-[Pankti] Yeah?
Just taking it all in.
Hey. Hey, baby.
[poignant music playing]
I'm really happy we're doing this together
and that we have each other.
Yeah, me too.
I wouldn't be able to do this without you.
-It's nice to have you there with me.
-Yeah.
[Ashtin] You okay?
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
-Sorry.
-[Ashtin] Pookie.
I'm okay. [laughs, sniffles]
[Alisa] Don't be crying.
-You're gonna be okay.
-Yeah.
-It's gonna be fine.
-[Alix sniffles]
No, I just, you know,
think about every day
that I hope that they're not positive.
And then I'm…
You know, I just am worried
about that and feeling guilty
'cause it passed on from me.
You're not even gonna be positive.
I'm positive.
[poignant music continues]
-Sorry.
-All right.
-[Ashtin] You're okay.
-[Pankti] It's okay.
Before it even begins… ♪
But I just hope
our results are negative, but…
Either way though, it's gonna be okay.
-Yeah.
-We'll figure it out.
