High School Musical: The Musical - The Series (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Episode #3.6 - full transcript
Previously on High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series...
It's The Real Campers of Shallow Lake.
For the first time in my life,
I may have overdone it with the drama.
I told a sister to crush on her brother.
Jet. You know Maddox? She's hot for you.
I told Ricky to be in love with Gina.
It's possible I wasn't pretending
to crush on Gina.
Even though some of us
have meltdowns like actual snowmen...
Okay. Stop.
Val, maybe now is not the time.
Read the room.
I'm here, aren't I? I'm trying.
I'm still standing.
I don't wanna feel like
you're keeping things from me.
I'm not leaving Salt Lake without a fight.
Rise and shine, Shallow Lake!
Intruder! Get him!
Ricky, stop. It's Mr. Bleu.
- What if I didn't have a shirt on?
- Looks like you have three shirts on.
- You. You filmed me behind the bush.
- Hey, you. Up.
Cute duck.
I'm calling it.
Corbin Bleu has officially lost his mind.
Cute duck.
Folks, we're two hours away
from Camp Shallow Lake's
most exciting tradition.
Tune in to see a bunch of theater kids
get their heads out of the clouds
and into the game.
I'm praying the game is chess.
Report to the amphitheater at 8:00 a.m.
sharp for a day of sports. It's Color War!
Then turn the paddle up
near the ceiling near the end.
- Over and over again.
- Like that?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah, got it. Natural.
You just gotta commit to one side.
Of the canoe. Or else you'll fall out.
You'll be fine.
Thanks for being
my last-minute Color War tutor.
I can't believe that
you're actually bad at sports.
Yep. Hey, Gadget, can I ask you something?
Is it about my brother,
and why no one knew we were siblings?
No comment.
Hmm.
Well, I guess I can answer that question
with a question. Do you have a brother?
Yeah.
Is everything between you
super great all the time?
- Enough said.
- Yeah.
We were really, really close
when we were little.
Which makes not being close
hurt even more.
I get it.
Oh, uh...
Good morning. And ahoy?
Elton.
- Hey, do you mind if we just...
- Yeah. Good luck, sailors.
While I have you, can we start over?
Getting started is something
that I apparently don't do.
I made a phone call last night.
I'm taking some big steps
to make sure the show is perfect.
EJ, this isn't about that.
But a perfect show
is how I stay in Salt Lake.
A perfect show means that my dad
sees that I'm great at something,
and he doesn't send me
to leadership training.
A perfect show is how I stay with you.
Why don't we not talk about
the future for a sec?
Let's make today amazing.
Here, come on in.
The water's warm.
Are you practicing for the canoe relay?
'Cause Dewey just pulled the plug.
Somebody puked in the pool.
Ah!
Well, athletic glory has
never been my thing,
and I'm not great with a ball.
So I thought I'd have a shot in a boat.
But honestly, I just want us to win today.
Then I'll make sure
we're on the same team.
I like that plan.
Okay, meet me at the amphitheater.
- Oh, was anyone in here looking for me?
- Mmm, were you expecting someone?
Nope. Nope.
See you on the amphitheater, skipper.
- Hey, Mr. Bleu.
- Hey, Thomas.
Okay, then.
Uh, yesterday, Channing got some
really embarrassing footage of me,
and I would love for you to delete it,
if that's possible.
Very cool, son.
Won't happen, but very cool.
Unless you praise Nickelodeon,
it's going in the doc.
When I heard that the camp that's
putting on Frozen for Disney Plus
has a day that's emotionally similar
to the 2006 to 2008 Disney Channel Games,
I and the folks at the Mouse HQ
jumped at the chance
to include this in our docu-series.
Dewey, you wanna explain the rules?
Uh...
Yeah. Every camper is required
to participate in a few challenges.
- There's two teams...
- And within each team are teammates.
Okay, I got this. Okay.
You know her. You love her.
The captain of the Yellow Team is Maddox.
Not sure everyone loves me. But thank you.
Didn't say they all did.
And the captain of the blue team,
the director of the show within the show.
Some people call him Spaceship Man.
It's EJ.
Yeah, EJ.
Now, with a big smile,
tell the camera which of your
Frozen friends are on each team.
What about the other campers?
We had to blur their faces out
for the doc,
so, legally we aren't naming any other
names unless they've signed a release.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Um...
On my team,
we have Ricky, Ashlyn and Gina.
- We're gonna make a great team.
- Mmm-hmm.
And then Maddox's team
has Kourtney, Carlos and Jet.
Just so y'all know, I'm scrappy.
I fight dirty, and I will cheat.
- Hmm! So it's in the bag.
- I'm also incredibly afraid of heights.
Okay, so plus, minus.
Guys, if you were on a deserted island
and could text one person,
who would it be?
Your mom? Your ex? Your life coach?
Tomorrow, the winning team
can text whoever they want
when they get back their phones!
That's against Shallow Lake policy.
We are not...
Get your team colors from the bins.
I'm Corbin Bleu,
and you're watching Disney Plus.
Hey.
Uh, Ashlyn,
you have another letter from...
My male boyfriend.
You know, those two words
mean the same thing.
- Just being clear.
- Are you?
'Cause it feels like maybe
you're compensating for something.
Okay, Anna Freud. And what would that be?
I wouldn't know
without hours of conversation.
You're just super complex.
There's an edge to you,
but you have so much love inside of you.
It's a beautiful puzzle. And I wouldn't
presume to tell you anything.
Okay. Thank you.
That was the nicest thing ever.
Good day.
Let's go, Blue. Come on.
Hey, buddy. You getting in the zone?
Not exactly.
I guess it was pretty intense last night.
Do you think I'm the worst? For the stuff
that Maddie yelled at me about?
I've done more than a few things
I'm ashamed of, dude.
So I'm not one to judge.
I thought those texts came from a guy,
and I was like,
"Why does she get to date
when I'm not allowed to," you know?
I mean, I just didn't really know
what I was looking at.
- Does Maddox know this?
- Not sure she'd even hear me.
We used to sing together
all the time as kids. Now we barely talk.
So, I once knew this girl who
was pretty mad at me, and I deserved it.
But the one thing that really helped
is I threw myself into
something she cared about.
Like, I joined the show,
and I worked really hard.
Is being a theater kid the answer to,
like, everything in your world?
It doesn't always
have to be theater, but...
Look, Maddox loves camp. It's Color War.
Maybe you could help her win?
It's a 50-50 shot, dude.
One team wins or the other does.
There's a third option where
they burn the results in a pizza oven.
I get it. That's good. Oh, man.
Sorry I'm late.
I can't believe
you came to help me.
EJ, my tallest child.
I've missed you.
I made a pact to help any Wildcat in need,
anywhere in
the contiguous lower 48 states.
Where else would I be?
I present to you the writings of a genius,
or a woman in desperate need of a nap.
It's everything you'll need
to direct this musical successfully.
Jennifer's Guide to Directing Children
in the Modern Era.
- Twizzler?
- Did you get those from the woods?
No. I got them from
the local shopkeeper, Susan.
Fine selection of local wares they've got.
Really fine.
Let's get to work, Mr. Director.
Are these used?
Then, you just throw the ball in the thing
and sometimes you make a face like this.
Oh!
I don't understand what I'm looking at.
You... Didn't you actually play Troy?
Okay, they had me in a harness
hanging from the ceiling. It's different.
Since when have you cared so much
about basketball, anyway?
Hey, I want to win today. With EJ.
Yeah. Yeah, where is EJ, anyway?
He should be here any second.
What about this guy?
I bet he's got some B-ball tips.
The Chad Danforth? My actual dance hero
since childhood? No, I do not think so.
- I heard my name.
- You respond to "Chad"?
Our characters never really leave us,
do they? What can I do?
Well, I'm not exactly sure
that I'm a baller.
I just don't understand how I can
be so coordinated on the dance floor
and so clumsy on the court.
Because you have to think
of them as the same place.
- How?
- Look out!
Gina? You okay?
Hey
Stop, play it back
Did you not see how they move like that?
Look, pay attention to me
Hear the bounce, hear the beat
Sliding your feet too fast
Gotta take it real smooth
Keep it cool
Even if you don't know all the rules
Play the game
All the same, win or lose
Well, you never really lose
with the right attitude
Notice your focus
And find your center
I know that you know this
You just need to remember
It's all about passion
One, two feet on the floor
Move it like that
and see what might happen
Ball's in your court
You think you can't work it?
How about taking a chance?
Because at the end of the day
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to...
Don't fight the technique
Let your body glide effortlessly
They're up in your face
Just hit the jete
You see what I mean?
- What if I trip and fall?
- Forget it
- What if I drop the ball?
- It happens
I don't wanna risk it all
You gotta
Even the best start out at the bottom
Notice your focus
And find your center
I know that you know this
You just need to remember
It's all about passion
One, two feet on the floor
Feet on the floor
Move it like that
and see what might happen
- Ball's in your court
- The ball's in my court
You think you can't work it?
How about taking a chance?
Because at the end of the day
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to dance
A different way to dance
Practice ain't perfect
But you'll get better
There's no competition
As long as you remember
It's all about passion
One, two feet on the floor
Feet on the floor
Move it like that
and see what might happen
Ball's in your court
You think you can't work it?
- Work it
- How about taking a chance?
- Taking a chance
- Because at the end of the day
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to dance
- Oh, yeah
- It's just a different way to dance
Different way to, different way to dance
Different way to dance
Dance
- Carlos? Wait. What happened?
- I don't know.
You fell over and you were sort of
mumble-singing? It was super weird.
But you still have
a chance to be the hero.
For the record,
the Yellow Team is about to win
unless you can make one shot
from the three-point line.
Good luck, bestie.
This would be very helpful for
the documentary if you succeed.
You got this. Probably.
Back up.
Blue Team wins!
That's crazy.
"Rule number one. Entering a room."
You need presence.
As a director, one of my mottos is
"Presence is a present."
Do what I do.
We'll come back to that one.
"Rule number four. Share a personal story
about how you relate to the text."
Yoo-hoo! Big summer blowout.
Every summer I look forward to
the Brooks Brothers' 4th of July sale.
Love.
"Rule number nine."
"When in doubt, shove important-looking
papers into your binder and grimace."
Mmm-mmm.
Rule number 17. Get an assistant.
Someone like Carlos if he were here.
- Carlos is here.
- Don't use Carlos. Carlos is Mommy's.
Yes, ma'am.
"And rule number 50. Never reveal
your true identity to the actors."
"Mystery is everything."
Like the way
nobody knows what "EJ" stands for.
Check.
Oh, jeez. I am late for Dewey Says.
- Dewey who?
- I'll explain later. I'll be right back.
EJ, honey, it's killing me
that I can't see the others.
I know, Miss Jenn,
but they'd kill me if they saw how
underwater I am with the show.
- You understand.
- I do. You go on.
Dewey says hop on one foot.
Hey, Dewey? Is Simon gonna
sue you for stealing his game?
I don't know Simon personally.
Breaking news. Dewey Wood locks
Simon of Simon Says in his basement.
You're out. Buh-bye.
Dewey says stop.
Dewey says hop on one foot.
Gina hasn't laughed at
one of my jokes since, like, Wednesday.
I think she's just bummed that you
missed her basketball dance triumph thing.
Trying to be in
six places at once this summer.
Couldn't tell.
Dewey says dance like
you're at the camp prom.
What'd you say?
Did he say there's a camp prom?
You. Stop.
Dewey says spin in a circle.
Simon says stop.
Oh! I'm Dewey, not Simon.
You two, you're out.
Dewey says that is a great victory
for the Yellow Team. Congrats, you two.
Hello, new person who's trying
really hard today.
Let's keep it going.
Dewey says get ready for
the climbing wall next. We're having fun.
- Did he say "climbing wall"?
- Yeah. I'll meet you guys there.
- Dude, where are you always going?
- Getting everything ready for the show.
You can't do that at night?
Well, Miss Jenn thinks
it's better to push...
What?
Oh, my gosh. This is so amazing. I can...
Okay.
- Wildcats.
- What are you doing here?
EJ asked me for
a couple directing pointers
and I had already been back from
my Caribbean cruise for 15 minutes,
so I drove here.
- Wow.
- Are you tired?
It's starting to hit me.
Tell me about you.
- What is happening with the show?
- Kourt and I got Elsa and Anna.
I got Olaf.
But there's no dressing room,
so I spend all day in the costume.
Noted.
And I'm Kristoff,
but maybe my dad already told you.
Oh, and remind me later, he sent me
with an early birthday gift for you.
Oh, and who are you playing, Ashlyn?
We're not allowed
to add parts to this one.
I checked. Several times.
I'm actually in the ensemble.
A musical is a beautiful body.
The ensemble is its sturdy backbone.
Sorry, guys. We have
to get back to the climbing wall
or we're gonna forfeit the game.
- Oh, boy.
- Miss Jenn, do you wanna come watch?
Oh, I don't have my theater glasses
or athletic footwear.
Come on, Miss Jenn. Let's go to camp.
- Oh, my goodness.
- It's big.
This is our final athletic competition
before the big sing-off.
We'll do a series of sprints mano-a-mano,
and one player will prevail each time.
Okay, Kourtney, Gina, you're up.
Whoo!
Come on, Kourt.
Let's go, Gina. Whoo!
Carlos, do you need
a quick change booth? For Olaf?
I think I just need Ryan Gosling's torso.
Someday, you may learn to love your own.
- So, speaking of love...
- Mmm-hmm.
Was there, like, a way you knew
you wanted to go on a boat with Mr. Bowen?
Um, we shared a little kiss,
I saw fireworks,
and the next thing you know, I'm lotioning
third-degree sunburn in St. Barts.
But that's the way it's supposed to be,
right? No one can tell you what to feel.
Is there something I should know?
I've been yelling at
a few people this summer.
You are allowed to have
more than one gear, sweetheart.
Let's look alive, people. We're up next.
- Tell me about the basketball triumph.
- You had to be there.
- We're going through a little thing.
- I didn't ask.
Let's do this.
I just remembered that Idina Menzel
mentioned on a podcast
that Elsa's actually afraid of heights.
- Really? She lives in a tower.
- Not now, Carlos.
Come on.
Come on, Kourt.
Three, two, one...
You got this, Kourt.
Let's go, Yellow.
Let's go, Yellow.
She is remarkably fast.
Let's go, Blue. Let's go, Blue.
Let's go, Blue. Let's go, Blue.
Great. Gina won. We're done. We're done.
But you have to at least try.
Look, you all are amazing at
these games without even trying.
If I were to try now
in front of all of you,
I wouldn't be able
to control what happens.
That's why we have to push through.
Even when it's hard.
Kourtney. Kourtney. Kourtney.
Kourtney. Kourtney. Kourtney.
- Kourtney.
- Campers. Mommy's talking.
Kourtney, if I can just say, I think
you will climb the wall when you're ready.
- I'm not. I'm saying I'm not.
- Okay.
Well, I have got to get back on the road
because I have a hard out at being
up more than 40 hours in a row.
Hey, can't you just stay?
I never really mastered rule number 49.
Honey, you have everything you need
to lead. And always have.
And look who you're directing.
These kids are a dream.
If they know their lines, you'll be fine.
Thank you, Miss Jenn.
For everything, seriously.
Richard?
From your dad.
Break a leg out there. Jennifer out.
Where's the door?
Okay. Hi.
Um, it's a tie game,
so the outcome of this cheer-off
determines the fate of Color War.
Okay. So, this year, I have picked
It's On from Camp Rock 2.
I printed out lyric sheets,
but if you don't know the words,
that means something went wrong
in your childhood
and you didn't watch this iconic sequel.
And as a reminder, when I stop singing,
somebody has to take over. Here we go.
Drums.
A little guitar please
One, two, three, four
I hope you're ready
for the time of your life

America, I am so glad that
the missing camper got rescued
'cause he just caused
the Yellow Team to win Color War!
Whoo!
Hey. Don't tell anyone,
but today wasn't the worst.
Quite the turnaround, Jet.
We did it together, Maddie.
We got the win.
Yeah. Yeah, we did.
He's a very committed young man, huh?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm not sure exactly what changed.
Maybe he just wants to show you he cares?
Ricky, I think I see what you're
trying to do and I appreciate it.
But we've had good days before and...
I just don't wanna let my guard down
and get hurt again, you know?
We lost.
Good job. Mr. Bleu, can we do
the Wildcat cheer? Please?
Listen, Carla, I'm grateful for
my time in the HSMCU.
It's the High School Musical
Cinematic Universe.
But those days are in the past.
You understand?
- Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Hey, if it helps, I'm happy to do
the Wildcat cheer night or day.
I have no shame. I'm shameless.
Actually, I could use
your help with something.
Okay, keep going.
This better be good, Bowen.
And...
There's room for one more.
I think she means you, dude.
Tight squeeze.
Okay. Think I'm gonna go.
Wait. Ricky, thanks for helping with this.
You're the best.
So, what's all this?
So, I was kind of hoping
we'd spend the whole day together.
I know.
And I was kind of hoping we'd have
a win after that very weird rehearsal.
Gina, I know.
But I learned how to throw a ball today,
so I'm gonna go for a Hail Mary here.
EJ, will you be my date to the camp prom?
- Wait. That's what this is?
- That's what this is.
Oh, man.
I really wish I could,
but there's a rule.
No dates allowed to the prom.
It's a Shallow Lake tradition
so nobody's feelings can get hurt.
Oh.
Well, that is very progressive, of course.
Yeah.
But hey, look, maybe we could
just sit here and you know,
paddle away till the fireworks go off.
I have a few minutes
before I have to get back to work.
The fireworks, is that a metaphor, or...
No. Yeah, there's real fireworks coming.
It's a Color War tradition.
Any minute now.
CAMPER 1: It was pretty great, though.
CAMPER 2: It was.
Um, Ashlyn, that is so nice of you,
but you really don't have to do that.
Val, I'm so sorry. I don't know why
I keep snapping at you.
I don't snap at anyone.
Not that I'm perfect.
I'm far from perfect.
I forget to use coasters, I only tip 20%,
and I didn't learn the Hebrew for
my Torah portion at my bat mitzvah.
But you have been nothing
but nice to me, okay?
Why on earth would I snap at you?
Oh.
That's why.
- Are you okay?
- Me? Yeah.
My, uh...
My dad got me a moon rock, so I could walk
on the moon before my 18th birthday.
I may actually make it
through my bucket list.
- And that's why you're crying?
- No.
Uh... Um...
I just can't believe
I let Color War slip through my fingers.
- You mean Gina.
- Okay, stop.
You're the one who went on a mission
all day to fix an actual mistake.
And I was pretty nice
about it the whole time.
I do appreciate it.
- You've been pretty decent all summer.
- Thank you. You're a nightmare.
I am not looking forward to prom.
You know, my sister and Madison
broke up at this dance last year.
I always felt it was my fault somehow.
- Okay, what is that face?
- You just gave me a big idea.
The Musical: The Series...
It's The Real Campers of Shallow Lake.
For the first time in my life,
I may have overdone it with the drama.
I told a sister to crush on her brother.
Jet. You know Maddox? She's hot for you.
I told Ricky to be in love with Gina.
It's possible I wasn't pretending
to crush on Gina.
Even though some of us
have meltdowns like actual snowmen...
Okay. Stop.
Val, maybe now is not the time.
Read the room.
I'm here, aren't I? I'm trying.
I'm still standing.
I don't wanna feel like
you're keeping things from me.
I'm not leaving Salt Lake without a fight.
Rise and shine, Shallow Lake!
Intruder! Get him!
Ricky, stop. It's Mr. Bleu.
- What if I didn't have a shirt on?
- Looks like you have three shirts on.
- You. You filmed me behind the bush.
- Hey, you. Up.
Cute duck.
I'm calling it.
Corbin Bleu has officially lost his mind.
Cute duck.
Folks, we're two hours away
from Camp Shallow Lake's
most exciting tradition.
Tune in to see a bunch of theater kids
get their heads out of the clouds
and into the game.
I'm praying the game is chess.
Report to the amphitheater at 8:00 a.m.
sharp for a day of sports. It's Color War!
Then turn the paddle up
near the ceiling near the end.
- Over and over again.
- Like that?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah, got it. Natural.
You just gotta commit to one side.
Of the canoe. Or else you'll fall out.
You'll be fine.
Thanks for being
my last-minute Color War tutor.
I can't believe that
you're actually bad at sports.
Yep. Hey, Gadget, can I ask you something?
Is it about my brother,
and why no one knew we were siblings?
No comment.
Hmm.
Well, I guess I can answer that question
with a question. Do you have a brother?
Yeah.
Is everything between you
super great all the time?
- Enough said.
- Yeah.
We were really, really close
when we were little.
Which makes not being close
hurt even more.
I get it.
Oh, uh...
Good morning. And ahoy?
Elton.
- Hey, do you mind if we just...
- Yeah. Good luck, sailors.
While I have you, can we start over?
Getting started is something
that I apparently don't do.
I made a phone call last night.
I'm taking some big steps
to make sure the show is perfect.
EJ, this isn't about that.
But a perfect show
is how I stay in Salt Lake.
A perfect show means that my dad
sees that I'm great at something,
and he doesn't send me
to leadership training.
A perfect show is how I stay with you.
Why don't we not talk about
the future for a sec?
Let's make today amazing.
Here, come on in.
The water's warm.
Are you practicing for the canoe relay?
'Cause Dewey just pulled the plug.
Somebody puked in the pool.
Ah!
Well, athletic glory has
never been my thing,
and I'm not great with a ball.
So I thought I'd have a shot in a boat.
But honestly, I just want us to win today.
Then I'll make sure
we're on the same team.
I like that plan.
Okay, meet me at the amphitheater.
- Oh, was anyone in here looking for me?
- Mmm, were you expecting someone?
Nope. Nope.
See you on the amphitheater, skipper.
- Hey, Mr. Bleu.
- Hey, Thomas.
Okay, then.
Uh, yesterday, Channing got some
really embarrassing footage of me,
and I would love for you to delete it,
if that's possible.
Very cool, son.
Won't happen, but very cool.
Unless you praise Nickelodeon,
it's going in the doc.
When I heard that the camp that's
putting on Frozen for Disney Plus
has a day that's emotionally similar
to the 2006 to 2008 Disney Channel Games,
I and the folks at the Mouse HQ
jumped at the chance
to include this in our docu-series.
Dewey, you wanna explain the rules?
Uh...
Yeah. Every camper is required
to participate in a few challenges.
- There's two teams...
- And within each team are teammates.
Okay, I got this. Okay.
You know her. You love her.
The captain of the Yellow Team is Maddox.
Not sure everyone loves me. But thank you.
Didn't say they all did.
And the captain of the blue team,
the director of the show within the show.
Some people call him Spaceship Man.
It's EJ.
Yeah, EJ.
Now, with a big smile,
tell the camera which of your
Frozen friends are on each team.
What about the other campers?
We had to blur their faces out
for the doc,
so, legally we aren't naming any other
names unless they've signed a release.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Um...
On my team,
we have Ricky, Ashlyn and Gina.
- We're gonna make a great team.
- Mmm-hmm.
And then Maddox's team
has Kourtney, Carlos and Jet.
Just so y'all know, I'm scrappy.
I fight dirty, and I will cheat.
- Hmm! So it's in the bag.
- I'm also incredibly afraid of heights.
Okay, so plus, minus.
Guys, if you were on a deserted island
and could text one person,
who would it be?
Your mom? Your ex? Your life coach?
Tomorrow, the winning team
can text whoever they want
when they get back their phones!
That's against Shallow Lake policy.
We are not...
Get your team colors from the bins.
I'm Corbin Bleu,
and you're watching Disney Plus.
Hey.
Uh, Ashlyn,
you have another letter from...
My male boyfriend.
You know, those two words
mean the same thing.
- Just being clear.
- Are you?
'Cause it feels like maybe
you're compensating for something.
Okay, Anna Freud. And what would that be?
I wouldn't know
without hours of conversation.
You're just super complex.
There's an edge to you,
but you have so much love inside of you.
It's a beautiful puzzle. And I wouldn't
presume to tell you anything.
Okay. Thank you.
That was the nicest thing ever.
Good day.
Let's go, Blue. Come on.
Hey, buddy. You getting in the zone?
Not exactly.
I guess it was pretty intense last night.
Do you think I'm the worst? For the stuff
that Maddie yelled at me about?
I've done more than a few things
I'm ashamed of, dude.
So I'm not one to judge.
I thought those texts came from a guy,
and I was like,
"Why does she get to date
when I'm not allowed to," you know?
I mean, I just didn't really know
what I was looking at.
- Does Maddox know this?
- Not sure she'd even hear me.
We used to sing together
all the time as kids. Now we barely talk.
So, I once knew this girl who
was pretty mad at me, and I deserved it.
But the one thing that really helped
is I threw myself into
something she cared about.
Like, I joined the show,
and I worked really hard.
Is being a theater kid the answer to,
like, everything in your world?
It doesn't always
have to be theater, but...
Look, Maddox loves camp. It's Color War.
Maybe you could help her win?
It's a 50-50 shot, dude.
One team wins or the other does.
There's a third option where
they burn the results in a pizza oven.
I get it. That's good. Oh, man.
Sorry I'm late.
I can't believe
you came to help me.
EJ, my tallest child.
I've missed you.
I made a pact to help any Wildcat in need,
anywhere in
the contiguous lower 48 states.
Where else would I be?
I present to you the writings of a genius,
or a woman in desperate need of a nap.
It's everything you'll need
to direct this musical successfully.
Jennifer's Guide to Directing Children
in the Modern Era.
- Twizzler?
- Did you get those from the woods?
No. I got them from
the local shopkeeper, Susan.
Fine selection of local wares they've got.
Really fine.
Let's get to work, Mr. Director.
Are these used?
Then, you just throw the ball in the thing
and sometimes you make a face like this.
Oh!
I don't understand what I'm looking at.
You... Didn't you actually play Troy?
Okay, they had me in a harness
hanging from the ceiling. It's different.
Since when have you cared so much
about basketball, anyway?
Hey, I want to win today. With EJ.
Yeah. Yeah, where is EJ, anyway?
He should be here any second.
What about this guy?
I bet he's got some B-ball tips.
The Chad Danforth? My actual dance hero
since childhood? No, I do not think so.
- I heard my name.
- You respond to "Chad"?
Our characters never really leave us,
do they? What can I do?
Well, I'm not exactly sure
that I'm a baller.
I just don't understand how I can
be so coordinated on the dance floor
and so clumsy on the court.
Because you have to think
of them as the same place.
- How?
- Look out!
Gina? You okay?
Hey
Stop, play it back
Did you not see how they move like that?
Look, pay attention to me
Hear the bounce, hear the beat
Sliding your feet too fast
Gotta take it real smooth
Keep it cool
Even if you don't know all the rules
Play the game
All the same, win or lose
Well, you never really lose
with the right attitude
Notice your focus
And find your center
I know that you know this
You just need to remember
It's all about passion
One, two feet on the floor
Move it like that
and see what might happen
Ball's in your court
You think you can't work it?
How about taking a chance?
Because at the end of the day
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to...
Don't fight the technique
Let your body glide effortlessly
They're up in your face
Just hit the jete
You see what I mean?
- What if I trip and fall?
- Forget it
- What if I drop the ball?
- It happens
I don't wanna risk it all
You gotta
Even the best start out at the bottom
Notice your focus
And find your center
I know that you know this
You just need to remember
It's all about passion
One, two feet on the floor
Feet on the floor
Move it like that
and see what might happen
- Ball's in your court
- The ball's in my court
You think you can't work it?
How about taking a chance?
Because at the end of the day
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to dance
A different way to dance
Practice ain't perfect
But you'll get better
There's no competition
As long as you remember
It's all about passion
One, two feet on the floor
Feet on the floor
Move it like that
and see what might happen
Ball's in your court
You think you can't work it?
- Work it
- How about taking a chance?
- Taking a chance
- Because at the end of the day
It's just a different way to dance
It's just a different way to dance
- Oh, yeah
- It's just a different way to dance
Different way to, different way to dance
Different way to dance
Dance
- Carlos? Wait. What happened?
- I don't know.
You fell over and you were sort of
mumble-singing? It was super weird.
But you still have
a chance to be the hero.
For the record,
the Yellow Team is about to win
unless you can make one shot
from the three-point line.
Good luck, bestie.
This would be very helpful for
the documentary if you succeed.
You got this. Probably.
Back up.
Blue Team wins!
That's crazy.
"Rule number one. Entering a room."
You need presence.
As a director, one of my mottos is
"Presence is a present."
Do what I do.
We'll come back to that one.
"Rule number four. Share a personal story
about how you relate to the text."
Yoo-hoo! Big summer blowout.
Every summer I look forward to
the Brooks Brothers' 4th of July sale.
Love.
"Rule number nine."
"When in doubt, shove important-looking
papers into your binder and grimace."
Mmm-mmm.
Rule number 17. Get an assistant.
Someone like Carlos if he were here.
- Carlos is here.
- Don't use Carlos. Carlos is Mommy's.
Yes, ma'am.
"And rule number 50. Never reveal
your true identity to the actors."
"Mystery is everything."
Like the way
nobody knows what "EJ" stands for.
Check.
Oh, jeez. I am late for Dewey Says.
- Dewey who?
- I'll explain later. I'll be right back.
EJ, honey, it's killing me
that I can't see the others.
I know, Miss Jenn,
but they'd kill me if they saw how
underwater I am with the show.
- You understand.
- I do. You go on.
Dewey says hop on one foot.
Hey, Dewey? Is Simon gonna
sue you for stealing his game?
I don't know Simon personally.
Breaking news. Dewey Wood locks
Simon of Simon Says in his basement.
You're out. Buh-bye.
Dewey says stop.
Dewey says hop on one foot.
Gina hasn't laughed at
one of my jokes since, like, Wednesday.
I think she's just bummed that you
missed her basketball dance triumph thing.
Trying to be in
six places at once this summer.
Couldn't tell.
Dewey says dance like
you're at the camp prom.
What'd you say?
Did he say there's a camp prom?
You. Stop.
Dewey says spin in a circle.
Simon says stop.
Oh! I'm Dewey, not Simon.
You two, you're out.
Dewey says that is a great victory
for the Yellow Team. Congrats, you two.
Hello, new person who's trying
really hard today.
Let's keep it going.
Dewey says get ready for
the climbing wall next. We're having fun.
- Did he say "climbing wall"?
- Yeah. I'll meet you guys there.
- Dude, where are you always going?
- Getting everything ready for the show.
You can't do that at night?
Well, Miss Jenn thinks
it's better to push...
What?
Oh, my gosh. This is so amazing. I can...
Okay.
- Wildcats.
- What are you doing here?
EJ asked me for
a couple directing pointers
and I had already been back from
my Caribbean cruise for 15 minutes,
so I drove here.
- Wow.
- Are you tired?
It's starting to hit me.
Tell me about you.
- What is happening with the show?
- Kourt and I got Elsa and Anna.
I got Olaf.
But there's no dressing room,
so I spend all day in the costume.
Noted.
And I'm Kristoff,
but maybe my dad already told you.
Oh, and remind me later, he sent me
with an early birthday gift for you.
Oh, and who are you playing, Ashlyn?
We're not allowed
to add parts to this one.
I checked. Several times.
I'm actually in the ensemble.
A musical is a beautiful body.
The ensemble is its sturdy backbone.
Sorry, guys. We have
to get back to the climbing wall
or we're gonna forfeit the game.
- Oh, boy.
- Miss Jenn, do you wanna come watch?
Oh, I don't have my theater glasses
or athletic footwear.
Come on, Miss Jenn. Let's go to camp.
- Oh, my goodness.
- It's big.
This is our final athletic competition
before the big sing-off.
We'll do a series of sprints mano-a-mano,
and one player will prevail each time.
Okay, Kourtney, Gina, you're up.
Whoo!
Come on, Kourt.
Let's go, Gina. Whoo!
Carlos, do you need
a quick change booth? For Olaf?
I think I just need Ryan Gosling's torso.
Someday, you may learn to love your own.
- So, speaking of love...
- Mmm-hmm.
Was there, like, a way you knew
you wanted to go on a boat with Mr. Bowen?
Um, we shared a little kiss,
I saw fireworks,
and the next thing you know, I'm lotioning
third-degree sunburn in St. Barts.
But that's the way it's supposed to be,
right? No one can tell you what to feel.
Is there something I should know?
I've been yelling at
a few people this summer.
You are allowed to have
more than one gear, sweetheart.
Let's look alive, people. We're up next.
- Tell me about the basketball triumph.
- You had to be there.
- We're going through a little thing.
- I didn't ask.
Let's do this.
I just remembered that Idina Menzel
mentioned on a podcast
that Elsa's actually afraid of heights.
- Really? She lives in a tower.
- Not now, Carlos.
Come on.
Come on, Kourt.
Three, two, one...
You got this, Kourt.
Let's go, Yellow.
Let's go, Yellow.
She is remarkably fast.
Let's go, Blue. Let's go, Blue.
Let's go, Blue. Let's go, Blue.
Great. Gina won. We're done. We're done.
But you have to at least try.
Look, you all are amazing at
these games without even trying.
If I were to try now
in front of all of you,
I wouldn't be able
to control what happens.
That's why we have to push through.
Even when it's hard.
Kourtney. Kourtney. Kourtney.
Kourtney. Kourtney. Kourtney.
- Kourtney.
- Campers. Mommy's talking.
Kourtney, if I can just say, I think
you will climb the wall when you're ready.
- I'm not. I'm saying I'm not.
- Okay.
Well, I have got to get back on the road
because I have a hard out at being
up more than 40 hours in a row.
Hey, can't you just stay?
I never really mastered rule number 49.
Honey, you have everything you need
to lead. And always have.
And look who you're directing.
These kids are a dream.
If they know their lines, you'll be fine.
Thank you, Miss Jenn.
For everything, seriously.
Richard?
From your dad.
Break a leg out there. Jennifer out.
Where's the door?
Okay. Hi.
Um, it's a tie game,
so the outcome of this cheer-off
determines the fate of Color War.
Okay. So, this year, I have picked
It's On from Camp Rock 2.
I printed out lyric sheets,
but if you don't know the words,
that means something went wrong
in your childhood
and you didn't watch this iconic sequel.
And as a reminder, when I stop singing,
somebody has to take over. Here we go.
Drums.
A little guitar please
One, two, three, four
I hope you're ready
for the time of your life
Just look at me

America, I am so glad that
the missing camper got rescued
'cause he just caused
the Yellow Team to win Color War!
Whoo!
Hey. Don't tell anyone,
but today wasn't the worst.
Quite the turnaround, Jet.
We did it together, Maddie.
We got the win.
Yeah. Yeah, we did.
He's a very committed young man, huh?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm not sure exactly what changed.
Maybe he just wants to show you he cares?
Ricky, I think I see what you're
trying to do and I appreciate it.
But we've had good days before and...
I just don't wanna let my guard down
and get hurt again, you know?
We lost.
Good job. Mr. Bleu, can we do
the Wildcat cheer? Please?
Listen, Carla, I'm grateful for
my time in the HSMCU.
It's the High School Musical
Cinematic Universe.
But those days are in the past.
You understand?
- Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Hey, if it helps, I'm happy to do
the Wildcat cheer night or day.
I have no shame. I'm shameless.
Actually, I could use
your help with something.
Okay, keep going.
This better be good, Bowen.
And...
There's room for one more.
I think she means you, dude.
Tight squeeze.
Okay. Think I'm gonna go.
Wait. Ricky, thanks for helping with this.
You're the best.
So, what's all this?
So, I was kind of hoping
we'd spend the whole day together.
I know.
And I was kind of hoping we'd have
a win after that very weird rehearsal.
Gina, I know.
But I learned how to throw a ball today,
so I'm gonna go for a Hail Mary here.
EJ, will you be my date to the camp prom?
- Wait. That's what this is?
- That's what this is.
Oh, man.
I really wish I could,
but there's a rule.
No dates allowed to the prom.
It's a Shallow Lake tradition
so nobody's feelings can get hurt.
Oh.
Well, that is very progressive, of course.
Yeah.
But hey, look, maybe we could
just sit here and you know,
paddle away till the fireworks go off.
I have a few minutes
before I have to get back to work.
The fireworks, is that a metaphor, or...
No. Yeah, there's real fireworks coming.
It's a Color War tradition.
Any minute now.
CAMPER 1: It was pretty great, though.
CAMPER 2: It was.
Um, Ashlyn, that is so nice of you,
but you really don't have to do that.
Val, I'm so sorry. I don't know why
I keep snapping at you.
I don't snap at anyone.
Not that I'm perfect.
I'm far from perfect.
I forget to use coasters, I only tip 20%,
and I didn't learn the Hebrew for
my Torah portion at my bat mitzvah.
But you have been nothing
but nice to me, okay?
Why on earth would I snap at you?
Oh.
That's why.
- Are you okay?
- Me? Yeah.
My, uh...
My dad got me a moon rock, so I could walk
on the moon before my 18th birthday.
I may actually make it
through my bucket list.
- And that's why you're crying?
- No.
Uh... Um...
I just can't believe
I let Color War slip through my fingers.
- You mean Gina.
- Okay, stop.
You're the one who went on a mission
all day to fix an actual mistake.
And I was pretty nice
about it the whole time.
I do appreciate it.
- You've been pretty decent all summer.
- Thank you. You're a nightmare.
I am not looking forward to prom.
You know, my sister and Madison
broke up at this dance last year.
I always felt it was my fault somehow.
- Okay, what is that face?
- You just gave me a big idea.
