Electric Bloom (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Wherever we go
We go together ♪
Hey, everybody.
The PJ party continues.
Who's cute? Who's cozy? ♪
Tulip, Jade and Posey ♪
That's right, we're still up
waiting to find out
if we're nominated for Album of the Year.
We're totally calm.
Not nervous.
How long has it been?
Three, four hours?
Twenty-two minutes.
What?
That's not enough minutes.
I'm gonna go work off these nerves
on your dad's treadmill.
Or we could answer another
Ask Us Anything.
Okay, that does sound more fun
and less sweaty.
Ooh, I have a good one.
"Jade, you always come off
so strong and cool."
Thank you.
Agreed. Next question.
Not done.
"Jade, you always come off
so strong and cool. Do you ever cry?"
Oh.
Getting personal.
But we did say
ask us anything. So, let me think.
Okay. Wait, I got a story.
I mean, being here and in our PJs
just remind me of our first sleepover.
Oh, we're going there?
Yeah, we're going there.
If I'm crying, you're crying.
It all started the day we went
to a taping of my favorite podcast.
Spill the Deetz!
Welcome Back
to Spill the Deetz with Maggie Deetz.
I'm Maggie Deetz.
He's Ezra Finch,
10th grade filmmaker.
Ez, your dope new documentary is playing
at a real theater this weekend.
Incredible!
Well, my dad
does own the theater.
Juicy. Nepo baby.
Whoo! Spill the Deetz!
[chuckles]
Sorry, I just love
this podcast so much.
What was the part about making
the doc that you love the most?
Give us the raw dish.
Well, we shot it
on 35 millimeter--
Snore! [snores]
[snoring]
I want the deetz.
I didn't change my last name
for nothing.
Uh
I had to fire the sound guy for picking
his teeth too close to the mic.
ASM are you joking?
[faint laughter]
[loud laughter]
[silence]
I have so many more questions.
Not for you. You're done.
See you next time on
Spill the Deetz!
Wow, she's so cool.
Yeah, she even convinced me
to see Ezra's boring teeth movie.
No offense, Ezra.
[whispers] Guys!
She's coming over here!
[shouts] Oh, my gosh!
She's standing right next to us!
Sorry, I meant to start loud
then get soft. Next time.
I know you three.
I've seen you around school.
You tanked
Battle of the Bands,
then ruined
the school musical.
You're a raging dumpster fire.
-Thank you.
-We really are.
Hi.
But you also ate
and left no crumbs at homecoming.
-That was us.
-We really ate.
Hi.
I just had a slot open up
in my podcast.
How about I fill it
with Electric Bloom?
Are you serious?
Us? On your show?
Am I fainting? Am I fainting?
I don't think so.
Because you're still talking
and your eyes are open.
I just put you in the books.
October 18th.
[giggling]
-I'm sorry, did you say October 18th?
-I did.
This is such
an amazing opportunity for Electric Bloom.
-We're in.
-Of course you are.
I'm Maggie Deetz.
[giggling]
Jade, we just got booked on your favorite
podcast. Why aren't you freaking out?
Oh, I was freaking out,
all right.
But on the inside,
and for a very different reason.
You and me, you and I ♪
I got your back
and you got mine ♪
We're in this forever ♪
Wherever we go
We go together ♪
It's all for one
It's you and me ♪
'Cause all we are
is all we need ♪
We're in this forever ♪
Wherever we go
We go together ♪
[upbeat music playing]
Okay, so should we
talk outfits for the podcast?
I'm thinking
something stunning, understated, amazing,
cool, stunning,
but also understated.
I'm gonna wear jeans.
Jade, what about you?
Oh, I don't know. Pizza.
Jade, we're talking about what we're gonna
wear on your favorite podcast.
Oh.
Clothes.
Jade, is everything okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?
You seem a little--
I said I'm fine.
Okay, I wasn't fine.
No, she was not.
And that kept happening
all day.
We were concerned.
We had never seen Jade like that.
I was dealing with something,
but I was hiding it pretty well.
No, she was not.
[upbeat instrumental
rock music playing]
One of us should go in
and talk to her.
-Not it!
-Not it!
It should be you, Posey.
You're older.
Darn it. Stupid birthday.
Fine, I'll do it.
[thudding]
I can't interrupt Jade
while she's expressing herself.
Also, I'm scared.
Me too. She's rage-painting.
Remember when she said
if we ever saw her
rage-painting, we should be concerned?
She said that?
No, but it sounds like
something she would say!
We have to do something
to help her.
[gasps]
Did you just get a great idea
or did something fly in your mouth?
-Let's have a sleepover.
-Something did fly in your mouth!
The best idea ever.
We'll girl bond to the max
so Jade will feel comfortable opening up
and tell us what's going on.
-Love it.
-Great. Sleepover tonight at your place.
No, my place.
Oh, that's what you said.
Whee!
We're having a sleepover!
Well, not you. You can go.
[upbeat music playing]
Okay, pajama reveal on three.
One. [screams] Three!
[laughs] So cute!
It's such a flattering photo
of all of us.
Tulip, these are so cute!
How did you get these
made so fast?
Please. I started designing
these the day we met.
That's my girl.
And that's my girl.
Okay, sleepover
is off to a great start.
Let's just chill
and set a calm mood
to give Jade a safe space
to open up.
On it. Who's ready
for a blood oath with intense eye contact?
Or we could just do
the try not to laugh challenge.
Yeah.
Warning.
I'm really good at this.
You're never
gonna make me laugh.
Poop.
[spits]
[laughs]
Palindromes.
They're a joke
in either direction.
-Okay, Jade's next.
-Sure.
Ooh, ooh,
I know what's gonna get her.
[whispering]
[both laughing]
Oh, no! My look is not complete
without my lipstick.
[both giggling]
Hmm
Hmm.
[laughing]
[sighs]
Jade wins. Well played.
The game,
truth or another truth.
Isn't it truth or dare?
No, you're thinking
of charades.
Okay, everyone,
tell your deepest, darkest secret.
Something you've never told
anyone ever before.
I'll go first.
I love all of my stuffies
very much,
but, and I can't believe
I'm gonna say this,
I love Bready the most.
[screams]
Thank you for sharing, Tulip.
I can only imagine how hard
that must have been.
Okay, my turn.
[breathes deeply]
I once cheated on a test,
and I'm not proud of it.
It was an eye test.
I memorized the chart
the night before.
E-D-F-C-Z-P.
The letters still haunt me!
[muffled scream]
Okay, Jade, your turn.
-Pass.
-Really?
No truths?
Nothing you want to share?
Anything up here
that you want to bring down here?
Well,
I really miss
placed my toothbrush.
Oh! There it is.
Phew! [chuckles awkwardly]
Okay. It obviously
wasn't about the toothbrush.
There was someone
I was missing,
but I wasn't ready
to talk about him yet.
Uh, Jade, is that
all you wanted to share?
I mean, Tulip and I are sharing
some pretty serious stuff here.
I chose a child!
I guess what we're asking is,
is something wrong?
No, nothing's wrong.
Are you sure?
You haven't really seemed like yourself.
I said nothing's wrong.
I kind of feel like you guys
are ganging up on me.
-What? No.
-We didn't mean to--
Whatever. I'm just tired.
I'm gonna go to sleep.
Howie!
[in Spanish] Te quiero.
Howie.
[in Spanish] Te quiero.
"Howie te--" What?
What is she saying?
Uh, "Howie, te quiero."
I think it means
"Howie, I love you" in Spanish.
-Who's Howie?
-OMG.
Maybe he's a boyfriend,
or an ex-boyfriend.
Remember when she started
to say that she missed something?
Maybe Howie is the something.
Yes, he's the toothbrush!
I'll wake her up
and ask her about it.
No! Remember how upset
she got before?
She doesn't like us prying.
Is it prying
or is it trying to help our friend?
We have to do something.
You're right. Let's just do
some investigating on our own.
A little friend-spionage.
See what I did there?
Yes. You speak French.
Okay. I'm gonna go
dream about being a spy.
Do not wake me
if I start screaming.
I have to complete my mission.
-[upbeat music playing]
-Hey! ♪
[upbeat music playing]
Okay. If we want to track down
this mysterious Howie guy in Jade's life,
we need to call in the Vince.
You looking for the Vince?
Yeah. We need his help.
Oh, he's gone. He went on a trip
with his family and fell off a cliff.
-What?
-That's terrible!
No, like, on purpose.
He was bungee jumping.
Just say that!
-But I can help you.
-Okay.
-But you cannot tell Jade.
-Who's Jade?
Really? She's, like,
with us all the ti--
Oh! You're good.
Hey! ♪
Posey, you're just in time.
Here's everything we know
about Jade's mystery Howie.
We've got nothing.
But we did come up
with a really cool handshake.
Who's Howie?
So we've got nothing.
But, not for long,
because I gathered
all the Howies in school
so we can interrogate them
and find out which one's Jade's Howie.
-They're outside.
-Yes! I call bad cop!
Tulip, this is not a game.
Good cop!
All right, let the perps in.
Thank you for coming.
We're so sorry for the wait.
This won't take long.
Wrong! It'll take all night
if it has to!
Howies.
Do any of you know Jade?
Then get out of here!
Tulip, they could be lying.
Get back in here!
Are any of you lying?
Then get out of here!
Thank you so much
for your time.
I know you all
have very busy schedules.
Ooh, great shoes, by the way!
Okay, we got a little carried away,
but it's because we care.
You can't just look
your friend in the face
when they're hurting
and not do something.
I have a paper cut
that really hurts.
Suck it up! We're trying to tell a story
about our friend being in pain!
Hey, Jade!
You know my name?
Maggie Deetz knows my name?
Of course I do. I asked that kid
over there what your name was.
Hey, you tell it like it is.
That's why I'm a proud member
of Deetz Nation.
-Deetz Nation!
-Deetz Nation!
[both chuckle]
Listen, I know your episode
of the pod is coming up on the 18th.
Super stoked.
-But I was thinking about changing--
-The date?
No. That's set in stone, girl.
Maggie Deetz
keeps her Maggie dates.
I was thinking about changing
the seating arrangements.
Me on the left instead of me
on the right. What do you think?
-Uh
-You're right.
Why mess with magic?
See you on the 18th.
It's gonna be a big day for you.
Yeah.
It is.
[sentimental music playing]
Hey. What are you guys doing?
-Nothing.
-Chilling.
Just trying to figure out
who Howie--
How we
How we know
what we're doing here in life.
Because if you think about it,
how we act is how we behave.
Okay, cool.
Do you mind if I talk to Tulip
and Posey for a second?
Probably for the best.
Hey, um
I'm really sorry,
but I don't think
I could do the podcast.
What? What do you mean?
It's your favorite podcast.
You love Maggie Deetz.
I just-- It's
I can't.
Is she okay?
No. She just quit the podcast.
It wasn't my fault, was it?
I feel like I totally covered about
her saying,
"Howie, te quiero," in her sleep,
and I was trying
to figure out who Howie is.
No, you did good.
And honestly, thanks for the recap.
There's been a lot going on.
I wasn't trying to eavesdrop,
but I heard everything.
These two ding dongs
were getting in my business,
even though
I never invited them into my business.
I'm Ding. She's Dong.
You always get to be Ding.
We're not doing this
right now.
Anyway, my abuelo
always told me,
if you want to teach someone a lesson,
don't do it in a mean way.
Do it with a prank.
So, even though I was having a hard time,
I got my prank on.
No!
Howie, no!
Why would you say that?
Posey, you can do this.
-What are you doing?
-Getting that letter.
It's from Howie. It'll explain everything
and help us help Jade.
We can't read that letter.
It's personal.
She threw it away.
Us reading it
is just recycling.
Isn't this
an invasion of privacy?
No. This is friendship.
Seriously, Carl?
Can't you see I'm scavenging here?
Got it.
"Carl, please don't throw
your lunch away like you always do.
Love, Mom."
No wonder
Jade's been so upset.
Carl's been completely
ignoring his mother.
Well, that's not
the right letter.
This is.
[clears throat]
"Dear Jade,
you're the smartest, coolest,
most beautiful girl
I've ever vibed with."
Guess who wrote the letter.
The smartest, coolest,
most beautiful girl I've ever vibed with.
"But I'm not sure this long distance
relationship is going to work."
Jade has
a long distance relationship?
Go, girl! Keep reading.
"I really want to be there
for your podcast on the 18th,
but I can't afford
the train fare from Philly.
I'm sorry. Have a great show."
That's why Jade doesn't want to do
the podcast, because Howie can't be there.
It makes her sad.
But what if Howie
could be there and it made her happy?
You're saying the opposite
of what I'm saying, and I like it.
Then Jade would get to do
her favorite podcast
with her long distance Howie
in the audience.
We just have to find a way
to track him down.
But how?
You hack
into the FBI mainframe,
I'll hack
into the CIA mainframe.
Also, what's a mainframe?
Oh. "All my love, Howie.
By the way,
here's my new number, 555-0189."
Yeah, let's just text him.
Too easy.
[upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
What's going on?
I thought you're gonna tell Maggie Deetz
we weren't doing the podcast.
We were.
But then we had a better idea
and told her we were doing the podcast.
Okay, maybe not better,
but different.
No, I'm not doing it.
Jade, we're your best friends.
Please trust us.
We really think this podcast
will make you happy in more ways than one.
Okay, fine.
I'll do it.
Hey, girls.
You're excited, I'm excited.
If you have any questions,
now's the time to ask.
-Oh, actually, do we--
-Welcome to another episode of
Spill the Deetz!
Oh, we will.
Today on the pod,
we have Posey, Tulip and Jade,
otherwise known as Electric Bloom!
Okay, let's get to it.
First questsch.
How would you describe
Electric Bloom's sound?
Tell me everything,
but sum it up in five words or less.
Actually, before we get to that,
we have a little surprise.
Doing your own thing
on my show?
I hate it, but I love it. Go!
Well, we noticed
our friend Jade was a little down,
so we invited a special guest.
Howie, come on out!
-Howie?
-Gasp.
Who is Howie?
Howie is Jade's
long distance boyfriend.
Jade really wanted him here,
so we made it happen,
because Jade is a beautiful soul,
full of nothing but love.
You dusty pile of trash!
In-- In a good way?
How dare you
show your face here?
You have a lot to say
for someone who ghosted me.
I ghosted you?
You ghosted me!
Yeah, I saw those three dots
in your text.
Then they went away, forever.
[all gasp]
Why did we think
this was a good idea?
I don't know.
She said she loved him in her sleep.
He wanted to come here.
It seemed like the right move.
I'm only 14! Get off my back!
Actually, Howie,
I'm glad you're here.
Because I want to talk to you
about Tiffany.
[gasps]
This is why I do this, people.
Tiffany?
I don't know a Tiffany.
Wow, but wow.
Okay, then why did you like
her photos from two years ago?
[gasps]
Look at you,
inventing stories?
You're nothing
but a mentirosa.
What is mentirosa?
You're calling me a mentirosa?
No, you're the liar!
Cancel search.
Serpiente.
Hey! Jade is not a snake.
That's right. I take Spanish.
We just covered reptiles.
Tortuga means turtle!
Anyways,
Jade is a great person.
If anyone is the serpiente,
it is tu.
That's right.
I'm using the familiar.
Thank you, Lucas.
And you?
You broke my heart.
I'm sorry, Maggie.
We gotta go see if our friend's okay.
No problem at all.
You guys are a mess.
This is podcast gold.
Come back any time!
-Jade, wait.
-We're so sorry! We didn't mean to--
Your faces. So good.
-What the what?
-Why are you laughing?
Because it's funny.
You know,
almost as funny as you two
going full raccoon digging through
the trash for my fake letter.
-What? It was her idea!
-No. It was her idea!
Now, since you two
are being so nosy,
I thought
I'd mess with you a little.
You planted the letter?
You have very good
boy handwriting!
Thank you. And you fell
for the whole thing.
I knew you'd call Howie
and bring him here.
Hey, Howie.
Actually, it's Amir.
Nice to meet you.
He's an old friend from camp.
Hi there, hey
Good afternoon ♪
Another perfect day
at Camp Lagoon ♪
-Wow.
-This was fun, Jade.
Anytime you need
a fake boyfriend, I'm here.
Or a real one.
Amir, what'd I say?
Hey, had to shoot my shot.
Jade, we're so sorry.
We only wanted to help.
You just seemed so upset.
And we were really worried
about you.
It's okay.
Just next time,
please respect my boundaries.
You're right.
We shouldn't have pushed you.
I'm just going
through something,
and I really want
to talk to you guys about it.
But I know that if I open up,
I'll start crying.
And then I won't be able
to stop crying.
Well, then,
let's not stop
crying together.
I wasn't saying "Howie."
I was saying "Owie."
Which is what I called
my abuelo when I was little,
because I couldn't say
"abuelo."
So you were talking
about your grandfather?
Yeah.
Sometimes I see Owie
in my dreams.
He lived with us my whole life
and helped raise me, you know.
He taught me how to salsa
and play domino,
and he encouraged me
to be brave in my poetry.
He passed away last year
and today is his birthday.
The first one
since he's been gone.
So, when I realized
the podcast was on the same day,
it threw me.
You know,
I thought I'd be okay,
but it's been a lot harder
than I expected.
This was his.
I wear it when I want
to feel closer to him.
He was my person.
And I miss him so much.
Oh, Jade.
We had no idea
what you were going through.
Hey, thanks for sharing this
with us.
He sounds amazing.
We know he'll always be
your person, but
maybe we can be
your people now too.
I'd like that.
[sighs] Man, I wish
he could have met you guys.
He would have loved you,
just like he would've loved
how I totally pranked you today.
It was the perfect way
to honor him on his birthday.
Well, Owie would've been proud
of your performance.
Mentirosa!
[both chuckle]
[mellow music playing]
So, there you have it.
Yes, I cry.
Now, every year
on October 18th,
these two throw me a special sleepover
to celebrate Owie's memory.
It's always a little sad.
But also a lot of fun.
Kind of like the sleepover
we're doing right now.
[show music plays]
It's time! They're announcing
the nominations!
Turn it up! Turn it up!
[host] And the nominees
for Album of the Year are,
Electric Bloom.
[screaming]
[show audience applauding]
Thank you, Owie.
-[screams]
