- Thank you.
When mom said she was having a few ladies over
for a scrapbooking party,
I didn't expect her to invite half the neighborhood.
- You're taking me to Eggie's after this, right?
Because I'm already gonna be late enough.
- Aren't these the boys that ditched you the other day?
And you're going camping with them?
- That was a scholastic emergency.
- A what?
- Don't worry about it.
- Look PK, I always got your back, okay.
- Okay.
- If these boys ever give you a hard time,
I'll talk to them.
- I've seen the way you talk to people
and it's kind of scary.
- Scary?
I just remember it with TK, that's all.
Middle school is such a weird time
and you're lucky enough if you find people
just as weird as you.
TK had Flash, and then he had Ace.
And I just want you to find your people.
- I will.
- Okay, well, then let's go home before these get cold
'cause they're so good.
(upbeat percussive music)
- We seriously can't go out performing like this.
- [Brittany] We look pathetic.
- Well, we did the best that we could with what we had.
Come on, it's grunge.
- It's embarrassing.
- If we win, Principal Mathers promised funding for State.
So then you can get whatever uniforms you want.
- Whatever.
I need a granola bar.
- Deep breaths.
- Wanna know a secret?
- Always.
- I don't really care if we lose.
- What?
- Breaking up with Eggie made me realize some things.
Things that I really wanted like Ms. Popular,
team captain, Eggie's girlfriend,
wasn't really for me.
- Then who was it for?
- I thought my mom and dad really wanted me
to be Eggie's girlfriend,
but then when I told them that we broke up,
they didn't care at all.
So now I'm wondering if I really want to be a dancer
or if I even want to be friends with Katie and Brittany.
- A lot to take in before the dance competition.
- Are you mad?
- No, just that, you know.
The messed up uniforms make a lot more sense.
- What are you two gossiping about?
- Oh, we're just going over the routine.
- Why do I get the feeling you're up to no good?

(bell rings)
- Okay, make sure that it's done.
- We've been waiting for you.
- Sorry.
My cousin Birdie wouldn't get out of the bathroom.
- Whatever.
You're lucky we didn't leave.
- What about Leyla?
Isn't she coming?
- Does it look like it?
- Sore subject.
She ditched us.
- For what?
- Apparently she has better things to buy than skateboards.
- Whatever, it's lame.
- Yeah, whatever.
We don't need her.
- Let's get going.
I need some fresh air.
- Excuse me.
Can I steal that seat?
- Sorry.
I was just practicing for my petition.
I have all the signatures,
so now it all comes down to this meeting.
- Well, good luck.
- What are you petitioning for me?
- Me?
Just waiting for my mom to give me a ride home.
- She works here?
- Yeah, she's the village historian.
- Wait, is your mom the Deborah Sharpe?
- The one and only.
- Oh my gosh.
I'm starstruck.
She's Attaway's foremost historian.
Do you know how lucky you are?
- You're a very strange little girl.
Anyways, I live with my dad in Crown Lake now
and no kids care.
- Any tips for how to win your mother over?
I imagine she has a lot of sway on the committee.
- She loves nerds and history buffs.
So I guess be yourself?
- Thank you, that really helps.
- Pleasure's all mine.
- [Bel] Come on, you guys.
It's like this, not.
- Brittany.
You're a little off tempo.
- Why do we have to change the routine every week?
- This is impossible.
- Come on, Claire did it.
And she's not even in the team.
- Claire Fitzroy?
- Yeah.
Claire and Leyla helped me with the dance.
- This is officially a terrible idea.
- She is totally uncool,
therefore these moves are totally uncool.
- They're just little tweaks to make it more original.
- You know what I think?
I think Harmony's a Millwood spy
who's recruiting you to the team.
- Yeah, you let two total losers
ruin a perfectly good routine.
- Hey, don't talk about Claire and Leyla like that.
- Or what?
You'll tell your sister on us?
- Face it, Harmony.
You were only cool 'cause of the Chicken Girls
and they're dead now.
- Cut it out, Brittany.
- No, you cut it out, Bel.
You're supposed to be our captain
and instead you betrayed us.
- Surprise!
I got you, new uniforms.
- What?
- Where did this come from?
- I got them for you guys.
As a gift.
- With what money?
- With the money I made at the Attaway Appeal.
I figured it was more important
than getting a new skateboard.
Oh, sorry.
Am I interrupting something?
I can come back later.
- No, actually you're not interrupting anything.
We were just seeing if you know Bel and Harmony
had ditched us and we were right.
- Come on, Brittany, let's get outta here.
- I'm right behind you.
- Hey, wait!
- [Announcer] Next up, Millwood.
- [Eggie] Gus.
Put the stick there.
- You should put the tarp first.
Then you'll know where the stakes go.
- Maybe you should leave this to the big boys.
- Me and my dad used to always go camping back in Texas.
Just trying to help.
- Did you see these scorpions?
- Well, there was this one time,
whenever a scorpion crawled into our tent,
my dad had to catch it in his hat so we could get out.
- I'd never sleep in that tent again.
- Let's just get set up.
- And without Celia Atkins and her colleagues,
Freddy Fitzroy never would've converted his factory
to make rubber.
So even though Freddy Fitzroy is my ancestor,
I do not believe he should be honored
at the upcoming exhibit.
Instead, we should dedicate this day to Celia Atkins
and the workers who really saved this town.
And I have over 100 signatures
of Attaway students who agree with me.
- Is that all Ms. Fitzroy?
- Yes, it is, Deborah Sharpe
and may I add, I am a huge fan of your work.
- Well, there's a first time for everything.
I appreciate you coming in, Claire.
Just give me a moment to relay your pitch to my colleagues.
You can wait outside.
- Of course.
Thank you.

- Can you guys wait?
- What do you want?
- I wanna win the competition.
- But do you really?
Last time I checked, you weren't even on this team.
- Listen, we missed you so much last summer.
We thought you were gonna come back, be team captain,
but instead you changed.
- Yeah, no offense,
but it's like we don't even know you anymore.
- You know what?
You're right.
I am not the same person you grew up with.
I thought I would come back to Attaway
and have my friendship bracelets
and automatically come to you guys as my best friends
on the dance team.
But, I'm not Rhyme.
And you guys aren't Ellie and Quinn.
One thing I've learned from this year is that
I need to make my own squad.
And Brittany, you're right.

- [Announcer] Thank you, Millwood.
- We killed it out there.
- Look who it is. (laughs)
Nice uniforms.
- All right.
Let's huddle up.
Since I still am the team manager,
I know we didn't get everything right
and we weren't the nicest to each other,
but we're Attaway girls now.
So we have to stick together.
And after this, we can go our separate ways
and never talk to each other again.
But why don't we just go out there and give it a shot?
Are we in?

(audience clapping)
- Is Eggie trying to win you back?
- [Bel] They're actually for you.
- It just says good luck, Harmony.
- Jordan does not give up.
- No, he doesn't.
- By the way, you killed it out there.
No matter what happens, I'm proud of you.
- Proud of us.
- Don't squish my flowers.
(both laugh)
- I wonder how the A-Team did.
- Who cares?
I hope they lose.
- [Gus And Walker] Jeez.
- Can you guys stop gossiping and help me?
Here, just.
I don't need your help.
- Jeez, Egg, what did PK do to you?
- Did you guys know PK was in love with Claire Fitzroy?
- I'm not in love.
I just slow danced with her.
- Well it's because of Claire that I got in trouble
and she convinced Bel to break up with me.
So the way I see it, you're with her or you're with us.
- But I'm not with her.
- Then when we get home, you tell her that.
- Egg, you're being a little harsh.
- Yeah, Egg.
It's not his fault.
- Well, maybe you guys don't care who's in this group
and who's not.
Leyla made her choice and it's time for PK to make his too.
- So you want me to tell her I don't like her?
- That's right, new kid.
It's her or us.
- So how'd it go in there?
- Well, I think, I must admit,
it was intimidating meeting your mother.
- Yeah, well, imagine being grounded by her.
- I would never disobey Deborah Sharpe.
- All right, Claire.
I'm ready for you.
Well, Ms. Fitzroy,
let me just say that was a beautiful presentation.
You're absolutely right.
We should be celebrating Celia Atkins
and the workers she led.
But sadly, it won't be part of this year's exhibit.
- What, why?
- It's too late, I'm afraid.
There's simply not enough time to overhaul the exhibit.
I wish you'd come to me six months ago with this proposal.
- [Announcer] After much deliberation,
the 2020 Dance Regional Competition has found it's winner,
with Millwood.

- [Harmony] Next week on Chicken Girls.
- My dad can't pick us up
'cause he's moving Simone and her mom in.
It's like I got a new sister.
- [Both] Rhyme!
- Reporting for Tuesday tea.
- Pardon the interruption,
but it has come to my attention that this exhibit
is false and misleading.
- You can't block the exhibit like this.
- It's us or them.
You got to choose.
