People get older, grow apart.
But we're the Chicken Girls. We don't grow apart.
Previously on "Chicken Girls..."
Just because two people love each other and want to be together
doesn't mean it always works out.
I know I'm over TK
because I kind of have a crush on someone.
Hey, Rhyme. I'm Drake. May I have this dance?
I'm not so sure Rooney would be thrilled
if she knew we were spending all this time together.
Both: "You have my blessing."
Why if you're going to date one of the B's, it's not me?
Well, I really like the one person I know here.
Are you ready for Spike and Birdie's day off?
- Today was surprisingly fun. - Who would do this?
I'll give you till the end of Thursday to turn yourself in.
You would never turn me in.
As for you, Spike, you're expelled.
And if any of you have any information
about Spike or Birdie Kaye, please let me know.
My mom wanted me on tour with her,
but I realized that I'm home when I'm here with you.
I think I'm falling for you.
Rhyme.
It's Birdie.

Dear TK, I know we said it was better
for us not to talk,
but we didn't say anything about writing letters, right?
I know it's kind of old school, but here it goes.
I thought maybe you'd want to hear about
what's going back in Attaway
in case you miss me?
I mean, us.
♪ Oh, but tell me, how is anyone... ♪
May I have this dance?
- It's me, Juliet. - You don't even believe me.
Ellie and Robbie Robbins are dating.
Yeah, the same Robbie who was a total jerk.
I guess he's less of a jerk now.
- Bye, Flash. -
- What just happened? - We broke up.
Kayla, I love you.
...and then got back together,
but who know how long that's gonna last.
In case you didn't see the news,
Ace moved to San Francisco after he sold 'Sup.
He's basically an internet millionaire now.
Are you sure about this?
Have you talked to your sister?
Birdie is doing better since the accident,
but she doesn't want to see any of us.
- Of course I care! -
I think she blames herself.
So, do you think you'll come visit Birdie
and your mom again soon?
And as for me,
you probably don't really want to hear this,
but I kind of dated this guy Drake for a few months.
I mean, it was more like a few weeks.
It so wasn't a big deal or anything.
He is, like, totally not my type at all.
Even his dreamy green eyes--
er, normal, run of the mill green eyes.
He was the lead in the musical,
but he's not incredibly talented or anything.
Dear Saint, your lips serve as a cattle call.
-
...and I went on a crazy--
I mean, a pretty low-key all-girls spring break trip.
- Hey. -
Not a single guy in sight.
From...
All the best...
Sincerely, Rhyme.

Hello, students.
Welcome back from your spring break,
and welcome to Home Economics.
( groaning )
I'm going to be pairing you up,
and you and your partner will be responsible
for taking care of a baby for an entire week.
A baby?
Well, flour babies.
So, what exactly is the point of this?
Well, to learn responsibility,
and to understand how your choices impact those around you.
You'll be journaling all week.
Luna, you'll go with Ty.
Ellie, you'll be with Mr. Robbins.
Oh, it appears that he's out.
Yes, he's on tour again/always.
Guess I'll just rock the single mother thing.
Hmm. Rhyme, you'll be with Arthur.
Didn't he eat a frog in Biology last semester?
I look forward to parenting with you.
Right, yeah, it should be interesting.
So, how was your spring break?
It was actually good, but...
- But what? - You don't wanna listen to my boy problems.
Living by vicariously through other people's problems
is, like, one of my favorite hobbies.
So is eating frogs.
- Huh? - Nothing.
- So, spring break? - Right.
Okay, well, I met this guy in Miami.
- Go on. - Well, he goes to Millwood, or at least he used to.
Then his dad got remarried and bought a house in Attaway.
- Seems like it was meant to be. - I thought it was.
We had a really good time in Miami,
and he even asked me for my number.
- And? - He hasn't called or texted.
Men, am I right?
I wanna get the baby baptized
at my father's church this Sunday.
- Not this again. - Are you available?
- Thank you. - Um, okay.
Well, after the baptism,
I'm going straight to watching football--
- with the baby. - You take her.
- I have dance after school. - No, you take him
because I have con call for a 'Sup pitch.
She is a girl.
Violet Angelica Sharp is a delicate flour flower.
Sharp?
( shutter clicks )
- What are you doing? - Selfies--
to show Robbie what he's missing.
Right. 'Cause nothing screams,
"Come home," like a flour baby.
- Mm-hmm. -
- Hey. - Hey.
How was your first day back?
Well, I got partnered with Arthur in Home Ec, so not great.
Also, everyone keeps talking about Hamilton.
Apparently, he's hot now?
Hamilton's always been cute.
Right, but they keep using the word "hot".
I'm pretty sure I've heard the words "hot Ham."
Hot Ham? Good for him.
I used to hate when Henry and them used to tease him.
Have you heard anything from Birdie?
No.
She hasn't been answering any of my calls or texts.
Maybe she just needs to see your shining face.
Yeah, I hope so.
Anyway, what's new in the world of Rhyme?
How much time do you have?
( music playing )
Did Hamilton get hot?
That's what I've been hearing,
but I do not get it.
I do.
I think the whole thing seems really fun.
Taking care of a sack of flour isn't fun, Hammy.
It's a lot of work.
We're lucky we're not in Home Ec this semester.
Can you hold Violet for a second?
My mom is blowing up my phone.
Be careful what you wish for.
And he'd make, like, a great dad.
- It's Hamilton. - I know.
So, let me get this straight, you and this guy Drake are--
Over. Totally over.
Okay, and this new guy Ezra?
Super on... and super off.
Okay, which brings me to ask...
Don't say it.
TK.
We hung out a few times after Birdie's accident,
but then he went back to Texas.
So, are you guys texting?
Texting?
I can honestly say no to that.
( music playing )
Birdie? You have a visitor.
( Birdie sighs )
Birdie?
Go ahead. Just talk to her.
You feeling okay?
I've missed you.
Come on, Birdie, I'm really trying here.
Look, I'm sorry I turned you in, I am,
but I'm here now.
I just want you to leave me alone.
That's it.
I'll be here tomorrow, whether you like it or not.
Your dad said he'd be home hours ago,
but he hasn't even called.
I know, honey. It's hard for me, too.
You know, sometimes I just wonder
if if had kids too early.
Maybe you'd be better as a tray of cookies.
Mom:
I need to go eat human food.
( music playing )
Harmony, what are you doing in here?
- Don't you mean Aunt Harmony? - Oh, no.
We did a little shopping and got our makeup done.
- Isn't she a darling? - You are so annoying.
And you're cranky.
Luckily, your daughter gets her personality from Arthur.
Don't worry, kiddo. I got your back.
Mom, tell Harmony it is way past her bedtime.
Still no Robbie? I thought he'd be back by now.
Yeah, apparently, he booked a last-minute gig,
so he's not actually coming back till tonight.
- That's annoying. - Yeah, tell me about it.
I'm the only single mother in our class,
which means double the amount of journaling.
Speaking of which, does Flash have your baby?
Haven't you heard of a babysitter?
She slept great last night. I just changed her.
This little angel is as sweet as can be.
You're the true angel.
I just can't wait for the real thing.
He looks... different.
I think it's the hair.
How are my new parents today?
Anyone want to share?
- Ellie. - What?
Ellie, that is no way to treat a baby.
Oh, I'm sorry. I really haven't been getting a lot of sleep.
I was up all night waiting for Robbie--
I mean, the baby was up waiting for its dad.
Marital problems are no excuse.
Luna, Ty?
We're having a baptism on Sunday.
Oh, excellent.
Rhyme, Arthur?
Our baby was happy and healthy
until Rhyme decided to give her a makeover.
Excuse me?
( laughter )
Be quiet, class.
This is not a laughing matter.
And you two, you better get together after school
and sort this out.
Nothing would make me happier.
Let's see, who else?
Flash, you're gonna get us a bad grade.
- Relax. - Kayla, what about you?
Honestly, my partner is completely distracted.
Flash, phone away.
Thanks a lot, Kayla.
You couldn't even help me take care of a stupid bag of flour.
You wouldn't even let me hold it!
It's a girl!
Oh!
Oops.
( bell ringing )
He's acting like I'm not even there.
Yeah, well, better than not actually being there.
- Tell me about it. - And not only that,
but something's up with my mom.
She's been texting me all day and it's super weird.
She keeps on asking me if I've talked to my dad.
Do you think everything's okay?
Yeah, I think it's fine. She's just being annoying.
Okay, well, keep us posted.
Drake, right?
From the musical?
Yep, that's me,
but I still have to go to class like everyone else.
Yeah, no getting out of homework.
- Nope. - Rooney, by the way.
See you around, Rooney.
See you around, Drake.
( music playing )
Okay, here's one of the prompts.
What would you say being a parent has taught you?
It's kinda annoying, actually.
So, I guess I learned that having kids is annoying.
Why do you keep checking your phone so much?
Oh, it's nothing. I just keep--
Waiting for that boy to text you.
Okay, when you put it like that, it sounds pathetic.
But I don't get it. Why ask for my number if you're not gonna use it?
Maybe he got back together with his ex-girlfriend.
Or he dropped his phone in the toilet.
Or saw an old Instagram of you and changed his mind.
Can we change the subject?
Pick a topic, any topic.
Did you really eat a frog in Bio last semester?
You want the long story or the short story?
Short. Definitely short.
♪ And I'm not all right ♪
( knocking on door )
- Hey. -
♪ I need some water 'cause I'm drowning here ♪
Anything wrong?
Um, you're a day late
and you barely called to let me know.
I've had to take care of this baby on my own
and Mrs. Russell's probably gonna give me an F now.
Wait, wait, wait. What baby?
Our baby.
I needed you and you weren't there,
and this isn't the first time.
I could try to cut back on touring.
I don't want to hold you back,
but I can't be waiting around for you.
I can't do this anymore.
♪ I'm not all right ♪
♪ All right, all right ♪
♪ All right, all... ♪
It was an act of protest.
It was either that or dissect the poor thing.
Eating it felt more humane.
And back to our parenting experience,
how has been a parent taught you
how to communicate with you co-parent?
Seriously? We're back to this?
Look, Rhyme, it's no big deal.
- You just got ghosted. - I did?
One day here, next day gone. Ghosted.
I guess I should just delete his number and pretend we never met.
Jeez, that guy Ezra sounds like a real jerk.
- Ezra! - Hi, Rhyme.
Why in the world are you carrying around a bag of flour?
It's for an assignment.
I'm Arthur, and you must be Ezra.
Guess my reputation precedes me.
It certainly does. You had a chance with Rhyme,
but as you can see, we have a family together.
It's a bag of flour, Arthur.
It's okay. I just wanted to let you know
that I'll be starting school next week,
so I'll see you around.
Oh.
I'll see you there, then.
Text us.
( music playing )
Next time on "Chicken Girls..."
Some people just don't change.
Hey, what's up?
Kayla: Can you put down your stupid phone
for one second? It's important.
Do you guys have any idea of what's going on?
You made it pretty clear that whatever happened
between us was just for spring break.
