And don't forget to plant a kiss right here on your way out.
That's going to be you someday, Lily.
Getting older and more distant from your dear old mom.
The girls barely let me into their lives anymore.
I'm sorry. Do you work here?
[laughing]
Oh, it's me, Gary.
I've been undercover the last six months.
[gasping]
Wow! I didn't even recognize you.
Going undercover is a great way to get people to open up.
When they don't know who you are,
they'll really let you into their lives.
Let you into their lives, huh?
Jesse, I have a great story idea.
Picture this. I go undercover at Royal Woods High
for a hard hitting story on teen life.
I can see the headlines now.
Teen scene. What's it mean?
This could be Big Rita. Let's do it!
Well, Brita, have a nice day.
It's Britta.
Hey, girl. Hey.
Name's Britta. I'm new here and I don't know anyone.
O M gosh.
I'm Leni loud, and you should totally sit with me.
It must be so hard being the new girl.
Oh, you're so sweet, Leni.
Meet Britta. She's new here.
Luna Loud.
Pleasure to make your most epic acquaintance.
Wow. No one's ever nailed my handshake on the first try.
Oh, um...
We do it in Hawaii, where I just moved from yesterday.
Aloha.
Hey, Luann! She's our sister.
This is Britta, dude.
Hey there, Britta.
Nice to meet ya.
Ew!
[laughing]
I'm on the hunt for an unsuspecting soul
to whoopie cushion.
Luann, no!
I mean, whoopie cushion?
That's a little whack.
Hmm. You're right.
So I've got some goss and spoiler alert, it's about me.
Ooh, girl, I'm all ears.
See that guy over there?
I totally have a crush on him.
He's got such a cute cowlick.
Oh. But like, keep that to yourself
‘cause I haven't told anyone yet.
Uh, Britta?
Something on your mind, dude?
I can't concentrate!
My girlfriend, Sam and I got in a tiff over a rift.
And now she's miffed!
I don't know what to do.
Tell me everything.
Luann, are you going to tell me
why you brought me into this bush?
I wanted to cut you in
on a little secret prank I'm cooking up.
Wait. You wanna do a prank with me?
And not on me?
Shh!
It's time.
Who are we nailing?
Principal Rivers.
[laughing]
Pranks! Yay!
Besties!
And... posted.
So, Britta, we were talking.
We wanna have you over for dinner tonight.
Sorry. Dinner at your house tonight?
That's right, pal. What's wrong?
He was a real fun guy.
[gasping]
He must really like you.
He only does that to my mom.
Hey, where is Mom, anyway?
Uh. She's in the garage.
Yeah, Should be here any minute.
I uh... need to use the bathroo.
Here you go, Miss Luna ah!
Hi all. Sorry I'm late.
I was whittling a life sized family sculpture.
She's been in the can for a while.
I should go check on her.
No! Never rush someone's bathroom routine.
Better go wash up. B-R-B.
Mama!
Shh.
Mama! Ma...
[laughing]
Eh, down Charles.
Charles, no!
[gasping]
Mom, why are you dressed like Britta?
No, Leni. Mom is Britta.
You tricked us.
Oh girls. I just wanted to...
We don't want to hear it.
Let's go.
Girls, I...
[sighing]
I was up all night, but I have the article right here.
Hmm. What's this? I know it's not the article
you were expecting, but it's the one I needed to write.
I was supposed to go to Royal Woods High
in search of a story on teenage life,
but what I really was in search of was connection.
What I learned in my time
at Royal Woods High was that as parents,
we need to let our kids grow up and become independent.
Trusting that they'll come to us when they need to.
Did you guys read this?
[gasping]
Mom!
I'm so sorry, girls.
I never should've violated your trust.
We totes get why you did it.
And we did have a great time hanging out with you.
How about we do a hang sesh once a month, just the four of us?
We should start right now.
Really? I'd love that.
