- And then after this,
I feel like I need a better transition.
I think I need a few more days to sit with it.
- Cassie, you don't have a few more days.
- What do you mean?
- Your audition tape is due today.
- No.
No, I'm not ready.
It's not ready.
- Just breathe.
You're an amazing dancer.
You're gonna nail this audition.
Just practice whenever you can today
and I'll come by later to film you.
- Thanks, Kate.
I owe you one.
- Of course and it's not like I have anything better to do
'cause the vlog was kind of a total bust.
(both laugh)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat percussive music)
- So, as you know, thematic maps show you
the variation of a topic across a geographic area.
So, today I would like you guys to make
thematic maps of Millwood.
Wiley, Sam, Diana you're group one.
- Dude, I love The Sharp Edges.
I wanna hear all about their tour.
- [Spencer] Emily Lily and Robert, group two.
- Okay, what about the differences
between oat and almond milk?
- Aren't they kind of obvious?
- I don't know what to do.
Kate was the health nut.
I just knew how to market her ideas.
- If it makes you feel any better,
I still have no idea what to write my article about.
- There's always oat and almond milk.
I was kidding.
Gosh.
Hmm.
Why don't you write about how all the girls
got played by the same boy?
- That's a great idea.
- I mean, if only someone would have gave you that
advice last year,
then you wouldn't have to go through all that Axel drama.
- Seriously.
(upbeat music)
- Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing?
- [Cassie] Nothing.
- You're right.
You are doing nothing.
With Axel off with my dad at the parlor in Crown Lake,
I need you to pick up the slack.
If there isn't a customer,
you should be cleaning or organizing the sprinkles by color.
- You got it, boss.
- So Sam, is this what you imagined
when you thought you'd be a rock star?
- Yeah, come on Sam.
This is so much better.
It's a whole rock concert.
- It's funny.
- Hey, I think it's cool that you followed your dreams.
The Sharp Edges are a great band
and I'm sure they were lucky to have you.
- Yeah, they're pretty sweet.
They were super understanding and all that.
But you are going to lose your mind
when you hear the next album.
They played it for me.
It's nuts.
- I'm gonna take this.
Don't want to interrupt your moment.
- Their last album is one of my top five of all time.
The perfect transition from their oldest stuff
to a new sound.
- Did you hear the, the instrumental mix on the first song?
- Yeah!
It's like a Southern soul meets prog rock.
- Yeah, it's nuts.
- Hey, glad you called.
What's up?
- Hey, I know you're in class,
but I'm writing an article and I'm wondering
if you could give a quick interview.
- Yeah, what it's about?
- How to spot a player.
- What do you want to know?
- Just the signs you didn't notice earlier.
Any red flags you just ignored.
- I wish I would have listened to my friends.
They saw a lot of things in Axel that I didn't.
Would've saved me a lot of drama.
I mean, boys come and go,
but friends will be there for you forever.
- Thanks.
- I have a meeting at the bank.
I won't be back for a few hours.
So, just don't burn the place down.
- That's kind of Axel's thing.
Not mine.
- Look, the thing about Axel.
- I'm sorry.
I know he's your brother.
- Sometimes it feels like I'm more of his mom
than his sister.
- I didn't mean to insult.
- No.
After my parents split,
my dad was always traveling and opening up new parlors.
Think of the franchise, Portia!
That's literally how he talks.
So I kind of had to rule the house
and I had to be pretty strict when Axel got into trouble,
which was a lot, but he is a good kid.
And I would know because I raised him.
Now, I have to get to the bank before they close.
So just keep an eye on things.
- I can't believe you're not on tour with them anymore.
I know you must miss it so much.
- Trust me, I'm not here by choice.
You can thank Cassie and Kate for that.
- Okay, can we just focus on the assignment?
I'm not just going to sit here
and let you talk badly about my friends, Sam.
- It's the truth.
Do you think there's any other reason
that I would be in Millwood?
Like, I could be on tour right now following my dreams,
but no, Cassie can't keep her mouth shut for five minutes.
- She was doing you a favor.
You can't just throw away your education
for some fleeting gig.
- Okay, take it easy, Diana.
There's clearly two sides here and they both seem valid.
Why don't we just take a breath and not react
from a place of anger?
- Actually, I was calling Cassie to see if you were there.
- [Axel] Me?
- Yes, you.
- [Axel] Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
- It's just an article I'm doing for Tre Chic the magazine.
It's about dating.
Specifically why guys always don't just date one person.
- [Axel] Jenna, this doesn't sound like a good idea.
- Come on, Axel.
Don't you wanna tell your side of the story?
- Yeah, so that pretty much wraps things up
for everything today.
Thank you guys so much for coming.
I'll see you next class.
- I can't believe you took his side.
- I didn't take sides.
I'm just saying it's not our place to judge.
- It's not judgemental to hold someone accountable.
- Well then maybe you should start with yourself.
- What is that supposed to mean?
- You don't even remember, do you?
You were a huge bully to me when we were kids.
- What are you talking about?
I didn't even know you.
- I was small for my age.
You used to call me Marwee.
Ring any bells?
- Come on, if I said that, I didn't mean anything by it.
- Well, the meant a lot to me.
(phone ringing)
- Hey, Kate.
I accidentally left my phone at work.
- Hey, I was just about to watch your moves from today.
You were so great.
- I'm so glad that we got to film that together.
I'm still surprised that Axel actually let me leave.
- Hold on, one sec.
- I'm Cassie Gordon and this is my audition tape
for the Highland Conservatory.
- Kate, you know, I hate the sound of my own voice.
- They're you're looking at your dance moves,
not your singing voice, silly.
- You really don't mind editing it for me?
- I told you, it's no big deal.
Okay, got to work.
- Bye, love you.
- Bye.
Okay, testing one, two, three.
- Testing one, two, three.
- [Kate] The levels are off.
Say something else, like today's episode
is brought to you by Juniors'.
- Today's episode is brought to you by Junior's,
The bestest coffee shop in town.
- [Kate] Perfect.
Now do a few silly moves.
- Hey!
How's Crown Lake?
Did you miss your little girlfriend?
- [Axel] Cassie's not my girlfriend.
She's not even my friend.
- Okay.
Well, good news.
The bank said they'd give dad a loan for 12 more parlors.
- [Axel] That's great, sis.
- What's up Ax?
You're doing the whole mopey puppy thing.
- [Axel] Last year, I just.
I made some bad decisions
and now I feel like they're coming back to bite me.
- We have 22 parlors, Axel.
Next year, that'll be 34.
And after that, who knows?
You're not going to be stuck in Millwood forever.
- [Axel] That's how mom did it, right?
Made a mess here and then took off.
- It's been a long day.
I really don't need to do this.
- [Axel] What about fixing things here
and not always thinking about the next parlor
or the next girl or whatever?
You ever think of that?
- Maybe you should get some rest tonight.
You're not yourself.
- [Axel] Yeah, maybe.
- So much for Mindful Millwood.
What do we have here?
- Today's episode is brought to you by Junior's,
the bestest coffee shop in town.
- Bingo!
- You did a sponsored post for Junior's Cafe.
And now that video has thousands of views.
- We're only missing one thing.
Our third partner.
- He's an artist.
- An escape artist, maybe.
- Morgan wasn't thinking.
She didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
- It's too late.
