High School Musical: The Musical - The Series (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Episode #3.7 - full transcript
Previously, on
"High School Musical: The Musical: The Series"...
Every year, Color War starts as a battle
and somehow ends in peace.
I think you will climb the wall
when you're ready.
Gina and EJ connected in a canoe.
- Will you be my date?
- I really wish I could.
- Jet connected with the whole camp.
- Maybe he just wants to show you he cares?
I just don't wanna let my guard down
and get hurt again.
And Ashlyn connected with herself.
Summer's coming to a close and things
may finally be stable around here.
Can't you just stay?
You have everything you need to lead.
And always have.
Right?
Can everyone please stop singing?
He's hallucinating. Ricky, you don't
have to do this. We love you.
Turning 18 tomorrow. Three pizzas.
One more bite.
Must finish bucket list.
I can't watch.
- Gross.
- You did that. How do you feel?
- I can smell colors.
- There you guys are.
Come on.
Y'all, we take camp prom
very seriously around here.
Stop eating pizza
and start thinking about your outfits.
Does it have to be straight out of
a problematic 1970s sitcom?
Whoa!
- It's tradition.
- Okay.
You good for the plan tonight?
I've got the plan. We'll see if it's good.
So, this is maybe not the best time to ask
when you're planning on telling Gina
about the thing you said on camera, but...
Dude, we've got the dance tonight,
got the show tomorrow,
and then I've got a long, long time before
I gotta handle my very public confession.
Okay. Bye.
Wait. Why do you ask?
I used my Color War phone call
to do a little research.
There's gonna be a trailer dropping
next month that's full of juicy footage
and maybe some of it
was shot through a bush.
Ricky?
Okay, I am very hyped
for this dance tonight,
but someone needs to explain to me why
we're doing a vintage theme for camp prom.
Ooh, I think it has to do with
Susan Fine's birthday.
Or the day she died.
- Definitely one of those two.
- Honestly, I've never known.
Look, any camp tradition that doesn't
involve climbing a wall is good by me.
And I'm gonna miss having
all this time with you guys.
- Okay, sisterhood vibes all night, okay?
- It's gonna be a night of many vibes.
So, I learned something new
about myself last night,
and it goes a little deeper
than a rising sign.
It is possible that I have
a crush on Valerie, the choreographer,
and all that that implies.
I suppose you could say
my dating pool got a little bigger,
and so did my heart,
and so did my world.
Hey, G, are you good
going solo to the dance tonight?
I'm not going solo. I have my girls.
Honestly, it's fine.
- It's a Shallow Lake tradition, so...
- That's right. It is.
Everyone goes stag.
Honestly, Ash, I think your cousin's gonna
spend the night without me as his date,
realize he's kind of been ignoring me
for a week and a half, and I don't know.
He promised
he'd save the last dance for me, so...
- Oh. Very nice.
- The night's gonna end with a bang.
In one way or another, it always does.
- Excuse me.
- Oh, my...
Maddie, can we talk? Alone?
- Okay, should we be spying on them?
- No, we should not.
Can you keep it down? I'm trying to spy.
Hi. Is Gadget still in there?
Wow. You went
all out with the clothes, Jet.
Honestly, I've been trying
to go all out with everything.
I mean, I tried really hard at Color War,
but that was just the day,
and I'm trying really hard in the show,
but that's just one summer.
What I really wanna do is go back in time.
Well, the jacket's a start.
Maddie, I'm trying
to unbreak what I broke,
and I'm not good at fixing things alone,
so I just thought,
maybe we could both use a little help?
- What are you talking about?
- You can come out now.
No, I already did that, Jet.
Hi, Maddie.
Madison.
- Don't blink, don't blink.
- Remember, I want David Bowie, not RuPaul.
I have never shown this much cleavage.
So,
we love a dance and we love a theme,
but why is there a dance
and why is there a theme?
I think the '70s is when Susan Fine
either got married for the second time
or, like, ate her first camper?
It's one of many traditions
for the night ahead.
Thank you. Yes, I'm trying not to think
about that because it's such a hard pass.
- I'm kinda with Carlos on this one.
- But, guys, it's the coolest.
You get all overheated at the dance,
and then you pour
freezing water on your head,
and take a picture for
Shallow Lake memory wall. It's tradition.
How is that a tradition?
Anything can be a tradition
if you do it more than once.
Like slapping?
Can I do the ice water thing in a suit?
Your birthday suit.
Okay. Well, now I miss Color War.
- Uh, what are you doing here?
- Haven't missed a camp prom in a decade.
Really? That's it?
- No. Your brother called and he said...
- What did you say, Jet?
Honestly, I said you could use a friend.
Uh, I know I'm not exactly
fitting in with the new girls,
but I'm not sure if my ex-girlfriend
showing up on the anniversary
of the night she dumped me
is the right solution.
- That wasn't the plan.
- What was the plan?
I thought I broke something and I just
thought if I got you both in a room,
maybe that would fix it.
He was just looking out for you.
I'm sorry.
I think I just broke something again.
I'll get out of your hair.
It's good to see your face, Mad.
I can't tell you how much I missed it.
I hope you get to dance this time.
Wait.
Wait. Please. Uh...
Maybe I do need a friend.
Man, I feel like John Travolta
in Saturday Night Fever.
I feel like John Travolta in Hairspray.
- Dude, is that a script?
- The show's tomorrow.
This is the only time it makes sense
for everyone to run lines.
Okay.
Miss Jenn said as long as you guys
know your dialogue, you're good.
So I'm making sure you do.
Totally normal behavior at a dance.
Okay.
Ricky, what do you say when I say,
"Elsa freaked out because
I only just met him, you know, today"?
"Wait. You got engaged to someone
you just met?" And he's got a point.
I just gotta stay in the zone tonight.
No distractions.
Yes, sir.
Hello, boys.
Wow.
Hey, Ricky, you okay?
- Yeah, you good?
- Yeah. It's just polyester. Am I right?
- Ooh! The photo wall is lit.
- We're stealing her. Come on.
Later.
Need some air, Richard?
No, no, I'm good, Elton.
Let's run more lines. Huh?
Okay, you know you're
missing the prom right now.
Not the first time. Am I right?
Do you remember
when we were junior campers?
Oh! And we spent the whole night
dodging Dewey Wood
so we could
raid the boys' bunk.
Yeah, memories.
Hey, I am really sorry that I broke up
with you at last year's dance.
I mean, I was the one who
demanded you stay by my side all night,
even though you refused
to dance in front of people.
I have two left feet. But, yeah,
you were a little intense last summer.
And I never told you why. But here we are.
Ooh! Story time.
Yeah, something I should
probably tell you.
The day before camp started last year,
Jet shared our texts with my parents.
Okay. Super embarrassed
on every possible level.
Yeah, and they hit the roof,
and all summer I thought I was
gonna go home and get grounded,
and I'd never see you again.
I was scared.
Turns out, they just didn't like me
texting anyone after midnight.
Classic.
The point is, I know I was clingy,
and maybe I held on a little too tight.
Maybe I let go a little too fast.
Your brother,
he was pretty emotional on the phone,
and I hope it's okay that I say this,
but it seems like
he could use a friend, too.
- He actually made a bunch this summer.
- I mean one specific friend, Maddox.
I wish I could just let myself
have more fun with everyone.
Well, the night's not over.
Neither is the summer.
Okay.
You are extra-glowing tonight.
I'm still me. Just more.
I don't want this to be weird,
but I brought you a little something
to say welcome to the community.
- Carlos, look alive.
- Well, that moment passed.
Olaf, your prompt is,
"How did you get in here?"
Oh, my God. Okay.
"I picked the lock with my carrot nose.
"Turns out, it's cute and useful."
Truly disgusting line.
You have to get faster.
Well, I usually practice my cues with Seb,
but I'm all alone in the woods,
so, doing my best.
You ready to get cold tonight?
Actually, EJ, I've never been the boy
who takes my shirt off for people,
or myself, frankly. Is that okay?
Hey, we don't do hazing here.
Whatever makes you happy, okay?
Wait. Why are you smiling?
Because I see something
that makes you happy.
- Sebastian.
- Hi, honey.
Why are you dressed like my grandfather?
Someone said the theme was '70s,
so I dressed like I'm in my 70s.
I've missed you so much.
Why do you look like
John Travolta in Hairspray?
- Honey, not now.
- Hi.
Child, do you even know
where your parts are?
I'm worried if I move too fast,
a little pizza might come out.
- Ugh...
- What is this?
I'm trying to figure out how
to be a superhero, okay?
I need to finish my bucket list
by tomorrow. Only got two to go.
EJ, can I have this dance?
Yes. Just couple more prompts
and then I'm all yours.
Elsa, when Anna says,
"But why? I don't understand," you say...
I know this one. Um...
- Curtain's up, cameras are rolling.
- Yeah, I know. Um...
Kourt?
Remember this part?
I'm blank.
- Still got 24 hours.
- And counting.
Okay, Mr. Bowen, would you like to dance?
Hang on.
I think Maddox is taking the stage.
One second.
- Dude, how'd it go?
- I think maybe I screwed up.
What?
Hey, gang.
- We love you, Gadget.
- Thank you. Just a...
Just wanna make an announcement.
Actually, it's not an announcement,
it's an explanation.
- Madison?
- What's up, Rocket Man?
- What's going on?
- I wish I knew.
I push people away.
Good people who screwed up like
I probably screw up, basically, every day.
So I thought I might
sing something tonight.
Shallow Lake song.
Actually, I had another idea.
It's a song that used to be
my favorite when I was little.
It made me happy,
and it made my little brother happy,
and I think maybe
we're ready to be happy again.
Maddie, I...
And I know we've had
100 ups and downs since then,
but, Jet, I wouldn't change a thing.
Aw!
Ooh!
Whoa!
Yeah
They're playing our song.
It's like he doesn't hear a word I say
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like all he wants is to chill out
She's way too serious
She's always in a rush and interrupting
Like she doesn't even care
-You
-Me
We're face-to-face
but we don't see eye-to-eye
- We're like fire and rain
- Like fire and rain
-You can drive me insane
-Drive me insane
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-Like different stars
-Like different stars
You're the harmony to every song I sing
Trust me when I say if you're thinking
of dancing, you'll regret it if you don't.
She's always trying to save the day
I just wanna watch the game
She's all or nothing
But my feelings never change
Why does he try to read my mind?
It's not good to psychoanalyze
She tries to pick a fight
to get attention
That's what all
of my friends say
-You
-Me
We're face-to-face
but we don't see eye-to-eye
-We're like fire and rain
-Like fire and rain
-You can drive me insane
-You can drive me insane
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're like different stars
-Like different stars
You're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
When I'm yes, she's no
When I hold on, he just lets go
We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing, no
- We're like fire and rain
- Like fire and rain
-You can drive me insane
-You can drive me insane
-But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're like different stars
Like different stars
But you're the harmony
to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Come on, G. It's the last dance
of the night. Grab a partner.
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're like different stars
-Like different stars
But you're the harmony
to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Everyone, everyone,
this is Madison of Mad and Mad fame.
What's up, Wildcats?
We have heard so much about you.
- I have a long drive home.
- I know.
- You'll call when camp's over?
- Like I could forget your number.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Got a minute to check in?
- Yeah, of course.
You wanna put that script down?
Of course.
So, tonight has been memorable.
Oh, yeah, everyone loves the camp prom.
Hey, please don't put
that drink on Elsa's castle.
We need it for tomorrow night.
Sorry.
EJ, you missed the last dance.
Crap. Hold on. I'll put on a song
and we can just boogie around.
EJ, stop.
We had two completely different nights.
And I'm starting to think we're
having two completely different summers.
Look, I'm a little distracted with
opening night tomorrow, but...
But maybe it goes deeper
than that, you know?
I mean, you graduated from East High.
Your world is getting bigger,
and I'm still at the photo booth
trying to fit three mustaches
on my face for a group photo.
- I could do those things.
- That's just it.
You've done those things
when you were a camper here.
But you're not a camper anymore.
I mean, you missed out on
the woman in the woods,
you haven't joined
the whole bucket list quest thing,
which has actually been super fun.
Sorry. Is it me or do both of those things
have the same person in common?
- This is not about Ricky.
- Well, I know there's history there.
I was trying to make a future with you.
And I know that I don't have a solid plan
for the fall, but if everything works out,
then I think maybe...
I think the problem is...
I think the problem is that "maybe"
isn't good enough for me right now.
All my life has been about change.
"Maybe" is all I've ever known.
And maybe I came to the dance solo,
and maybe I...
I don't know, EJ.
Maybe I should leave solo, too.
Don't do that. We're great together.
For five minutes
at the beginning of the summer.
But we haven't really
been together this summer. Not really.
And if that's a preview to some future
where we can't be together at all,
I think I need to skip ahead.
What do you mean by "skip ahead"?
I mean I can't be a "maybe" anymore, EJ.
Not now and not later.
Look.
- You're wonderful.
- But it's over.
Can it really be over if it never
really got a chance to start?
Elton John?
So then I burst in the door,
and I'm like, "Am I too late?"
I've never done a show before.
I don't even know the songs.
- Excuse me.
- Hey, Gina.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
- One second.
- Hey, is everything okay?
- Yeah.
It wouldn't be a dance without me
running into you at coat check, right?
Yeah. Hey, while I have you...
There's something important
I have to tell you, if you have a sec.
You do?
It can wait if there's something
you're working through.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh.
Hey. Hey, what's the...
It's okay.
I got that. It's okay.
Folks, this is a general reminder
about PDA, and the reminder is don't.
It's fine...
You're not alone
You're not alone
Oh!
Sorry. I didn't think anyone
would be here. Did you want me to...
No. You're fine. It's okay. Yeah. No.
Okay. What was that song?
It's kind of like
a prayer I sing when I can't breathe.
- You can't breathe, but you can sing?
- Music is magic.
Kourtney, is there something going on?
Okay. I'm worried about tomorrow.
I completely dropped EJ's
line prompt tonight. What if I choke?
- Kourt...
- Look.
It happened at the climbing wall
and it's happened 1,000 times before.
So I was actually thinking about
asking you if you would...
No.
You know all of Elsa's lines and you
were looking for a big break. So...
My big break was spending
this summer with you girls.
I'm good. You are better.
Oh!
- Sorry. I thought this was gonna be empty.
- We can leave.
No. No, it's okay.
Uh, actually,
I just said goodbye to somebody
that I wasn't even expecting to say hello
to tonight, so I'm a little upside-down.
She was glowing. So were you.
Don't mind us. Just talking
about deep fears over here.
- Is this about the climbing wall?
- And all it stands for, yes.
I thought your teacher said you would
do it when you were ready. Right?
I think I'm just gonna go to bed
and pretend like tomorrow night
isn't opening night.
Hey, guys. I was just on the swings.
- I forgot about swings.
- Hey. Are you okay?
I think I just broke up with EJ.
Let's talk about it later.
I guess tonight did end with a bang.
Well, as long as it ends soon.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe I can wake up as someone else.
Hey, Kourt, can I borrow your prayer?
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
Can't believe I'm here right now
I can see myself lift off the ground
I know how cliché this sounds
But I can hear a voice
say through the crowd
You're not alone
- My fears, they keep on rising
- You're not alone
But I won't stop trying
Here I come
Loud as a lion
I'll keep on fighting
I've just begun
See the horizon
I'll keep on climbing
I've shown that
I've grown through the changes
Had to prove to myself I'mma make it
Here I come
I won't stop till the war is won
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How was your night?
- Confusing.
Mmm-hmm. Same.
You're not alone
Oh, gosh. Here you are. I've been looking
everywhere. How many acres is this place?
- One?
- It's about Carlos. He wants to do it.
Here I come
Loud as a lion
I'll keep on fighting
I've just begun
See the horizon
I'll keep on climbing
I've shown that
I've grown through the changes
Had to prove to myself I'mma make it
Here I come
I won't stop till the war is won
I can be bold
Be unashamed
Be in control
Be unafraid
Letting it show
I was born to be brave
You got this. No one's judging you, bro.
Loud as a lion
I'll keep on fighting
I've just begun
See the horizon
I'll keep on climbing
I've shown
that I've grown through the changes
Had to prove to myself I'mma make it
Here I come
I won't stop till the war is won
I won't stop till the war is won
Kourt.
Hey, Gadget?
You know you're one of us now, right?
Wait. So, wait. I'm confused.
EJ is directing a movie
for the Disney Channel?
Honey, no. EJ is directing Frozen,
the stage version,
and Corbin Bleu is directing
the documentary.
And it's not for Disney Channel,
it's for Disney Plus.
- Okay, which one was Quibi?
- Let's get you home.
Hey, Ricky. Thanks for the encouragement
out there. You're my hero.
Did you just call me a hero?
No way. Oh, my gosh.
Bucket list.
Seb. Next time, you're dunking. I swear.
I did not see that coming.
- Hi again.
- Hello.
- You look a little better.
- You look a little wetter.
What was the thing
you were gonna tell me earlier?
Right. Okay. Um, yeah.
You know the other day when we had
to sing that song in front of Channing,
and it was kind of intense?
Okay.
Um...
I said something to Carlos
that day in private.
Or at least I thought it was private.
And apparently,
Channing caught it on camera.
What did you say?
Something going on?
We kind of broke up tonight.
- Really?
- Yeah. I don't wanna talk about it.
Um, okay, so what did you say
to Carlos that day?
Um...
I told him that
he looked majestic as Olaf.
- Nothing wrong with a friendly fib.
- You can say that again.
- I'm gonna...
- Yeah. Me, too.
- Right. Good night.
- Night, Ricky.
Rocket Man.
Just the guy I was looking for. Hey.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, absolutely.
Did you have fun with Madison?
Yeah, that's a little complicated. Like...
I thought it was over, but then she said
maybe she still likes me
and to please call when I get home.
I guess none of the new girls
caught your eye this summer.
What's up, hippies?
- Sorry. What?
- You were looking for me?
- Yeah. Did you hear from Val?
- No. Why?
She got a tip that Channing is
gonna go full reality-show tomorrow.
Like, he wants to try and stir up
all kinds of trouble.
And it could mean that
opening night will be a train wreck.
Well, what are we gonna do?
Buckle up.
THEME MUSIC PLAYING...
"High School Musical: The Musical: The Series"...
Every year, Color War starts as a battle
and somehow ends in peace.
I think you will climb the wall
when you're ready.
Gina and EJ connected in a canoe.
- Will you be my date?
- I really wish I could.
- Jet connected with the whole camp.
- Maybe he just wants to show you he cares?
I just don't wanna let my guard down
and get hurt again.
And Ashlyn connected with herself.
Summer's coming to a close and things
may finally be stable around here.
Can't you just stay?
You have everything you need to lead.
And always have.
Right?
Can everyone please stop singing?
He's hallucinating. Ricky, you don't
have to do this. We love you.
Turning 18 tomorrow. Three pizzas.
One more bite.
Must finish bucket list.
I can't watch.
- Gross.
- You did that. How do you feel?
- I can smell colors.
- There you guys are.
Come on.
Y'all, we take camp prom
very seriously around here.
Stop eating pizza
and start thinking about your outfits.
Does it have to be straight out of
a problematic 1970s sitcom?
Whoa!
- It's tradition.
- Okay.
You good for the plan tonight?
I've got the plan. We'll see if it's good.
So, this is maybe not the best time to ask
when you're planning on telling Gina
about the thing you said on camera, but...
Dude, we've got the dance tonight,
got the show tomorrow,
and then I've got a long, long time before
I gotta handle my very public confession.
Okay. Bye.
Wait. Why do you ask?
I used my Color War phone call
to do a little research.
There's gonna be a trailer dropping
next month that's full of juicy footage
and maybe some of it
was shot through a bush.
Ricky?
Okay, I am very hyped
for this dance tonight,
but someone needs to explain to me why
we're doing a vintage theme for camp prom.
Ooh, I think it has to do with
Susan Fine's birthday.
Or the day she died.
- Definitely one of those two.
- Honestly, I've never known.
Look, any camp tradition that doesn't
involve climbing a wall is good by me.
And I'm gonna miss having
all this time with you guys.
- Okay, sisterhood vibes all night, okay?
- It's gonna be a night of many vibes.
So, I learned something new

and it goes a little deeper
than a rising sign.
It is possible that I have
a crush on Valerie, the choreographer,
and all that that implies.
I suppose you could say
my dating pool got a little bigger,
and so did my heart,
and so did my world.
Hey, G, are you good
going solo to the dance tonight?
I'm not going solo. I have my girls.
Honestly, it's fine.
- It's a Shallow Lake tradition, so...
- That's right. It is.
Everyone goes stag.
Honestly, Ash, I think your cousin's gonna
spend the night without me as his date,
realize he's kind of been ignoring me
for a week and a half, and I don't know.
He promised
he'd save the last dance for me, so...
- Oh. Very nice.
- The night's gonna end with a bang.
In one way or another, it always does.
- Excuse me.
- Oh, my...
Maddie, can we talk? Alone?
- Okay, should we be spying on them?
- No, we should not.
Can you keep it down? I'm trying to spy.
Hi. Is Gadget still in there?
Wow. You went
all out with the clothes, Jet.
Honestly, I've been trying
to go all out with everything.
I mean, I tried really hard at Color War,
but that was just the day,
and I'm trying really hard in the show,

Maddie, I'm trying
to unbreak what I broke,
and I'm not good at fixing things alone,
so I just thought,
maybe we could both use a little help?
- What are you talking about?
- You can come out now.
No, I already did that, Jet.
Hi, Maddie.
Madison.
- Don't blink, don't blink.
- Remember, I want David Bowie, not RuPaul.
I have never shown this much cleavage.
So,
we love a dance and we love a theme,
but why is there a dance
and why is there a theme?
I think the '70s is when Susan Fine
either got married for the second time
or, like, ate her first camper?
It's one of many traditions
for the night ahead.
Thank you. Yes, I'm trying not to think
about that because it's such a hard pass.
- I'm kinda with Carlos on this one.
- But, guys, it's the coolest.
You get all overheated at the dance,
and then you pour
freezing water on your head,
and take a picture for
Shallow Lake memory wall. It's tradition.
How is that a tradition?
Anything can be a tradition
if you do it more than once.
Like slapping?
Can I do the ice water thing in a suit?
Your birthday suit.
Okay. Well, now I miss Color War.
- Uh, what are you doing here?
- Haven't missed a camp prom in a decade.
Really? That's it?
- No. Your brother called and he said...
- What did you say, Jet?
Honestly, I said you could use a friend.
Uh, I know I'm not exactly
fitting in with the new girls,
but I'm not sure if my ex-girlfriend
showing up on the anniversary
of the night she dumped me
is the right solution.
- That wasn't the plan.
- What was the plan?
I thought I broke something and I just
thought if I got you both in a room,
maybe that would fix it.
He was just looking out for you.
I'm sorry.
I think I just broke something again.
I'll get out of your hair.
It's good to see your face, Mad.
I can't tell you how much I missed it.
I hope you get to dance this time.
Wait.
Wait. Please. Uh...
Maybe I do need a friend.
Man, I feel like John Travolta
in Saturday Night Fever.
I feel like John Travolta in Hairspray.
- Dude, is that a script?
- The show's tomorrow.
This is the only time it makes sense
for everyone to run lines.
Okay.
Miss Jenn said as long as you guys
know your dialogue, you're good.
So I'm making sure you do.
Totally normal behavior at a dance.
Okay.
Ricky, what do you say when I say,
"Elsa freaked out because
I only just met him, you know, today"?
"Wait. You got engaged to someone
you just met?" And he's got a point.
I just gotta stay in the zone tonight.
No distractions.
Yes, sir.
Hello, boys.
Wow.
Hey, Ricky, you okay?
- Yeah, you good?
- Yeah. It's just polyester. Am I right?
- Ooh! The photo wall is lit.
- We're stealing her. Come on.
Later.
Need some air, Richard?
No, no, I'm good, Elton.
Let's run more lines. Huh?
Okay, you know you're
missing the prom right now.
Not the first time. Am I right?
Do you remember
when we were junior campers?
Oh! And we spent the whole night
dodging Dewey Wood
so we could
raid the boys' bunk.
Yeah, memories.
Hey, I am really sorry that I broke up
with you at last year's dance.
I mean, I was the one who
demanded you stay by my side all night,
even though you refused
to dance in front of people.
I have two left feet. But, yeah,
you were a little intense last summer.
And I never told you why. But here we are.
Ooh! Story time.
Yeah, something I should
probably tell you.
The day before camp started last year,
Jet shared our texts with my parents.
Okay. Super embarrassed
on every possible level.
Yeah, and they hit the roof,
and all summer I thought I was
gonna go home and get grounded,
and I'd never see you again.
I was scared.
Turns out, they just didn't like me
texting anyone after midnight.
Classic.
The point is, I know I was clingy,
and maybe I held on a little too tight.
Maybe I let go a little too fast.
Your brother,
he was pretty emotional on the phone,
and I hope it's okay that I say this,
but it seems like
he could use a friend, too.
- He actually made a bunch this summer.
- I mean one specific friend, Maddox.
I wish I could just let myself
have more fun with everyone.
Well, the night's not over.
Neither is the summer.
Okay.
You are extra-glowing tonight.
I'm still me. Just more.
I don't want this to be weird,
but I brought you a little something
to say welcome to the community.
- Carlos, look alive.
- Well, that moment passed.
Olaf, your prompt is,
"How did you get in here?"
Oh, my God. Okay.
"I picked the lock with my carrot nose.
"Turns out, it's cute and useful."
Truly disgusting line.
You have to get faster.
Well, I usually practice my cues with Seb,
but I'm all alone in the woods,
so, doing my best.
You ready to get cold tonight?
Actually, EJ, I've never been the boy
who takes my shirt off for people,
or myself, frankly. Is that okay?
Hey, we don't do hazing here.
Whatever makes you happy, okay?
Wait. Why are you smiling?
Because I see something
that makes you happy.
- Sebastian.
- Hi, honey.
Why are you dressed like my grandfather?
Someone said the theme was '70s,
so I dressed like I'm in my 70s.
I've missed you so much.
Why do you look like
John Travolta in Hairspray?
- Honey, not now.
- Hi.
Child, do you even know
where your parts are?
I'm worried if I move too fast,
a little pizza might come out.
- Ugh...
- What is this?
I'm trying to figure out how
to be a superhero, okay?
I need to finish my bucket list
by tomorrow. Only got two to go.
EJ, can I have this dance?
Yes. Just couple more prompts
and then I'm all yours.
Elsa, when Anna says,
"But why? I don't understand," you say...
I know this one. Um...
- Curtain's up, cameras are rolling.
- Yeah, I know. Um...
Kourt?
Remember this part?
I'm blank.
- Still got 24 hours.
- And counting.
Okay, Mr. Bowen, would you like to dance?
Hang on.
I think Maddox is taking the stage.
One second.
- Dude, how'd it go?
- I think maybe I screwed up.
What?
Hey, gang.
- We love you, Gadget.
- Thank you. Just a...
Just wanna make an announcement.
Actually, it's not an announcement,
it's an explanation.
- Madison?
- What's up, Rocket Man?
- What's going on?
- I wish I knew.
I push people away.
Good people who screwed up like
I probably screw up, basically, every day.
So I thought I might
sing something tonight.
Shallow Lake song.
Actually, I had another idea.
It's a song that used to be
my favorite when I was little.
It made me happy,
and it made my little brother happy,
and I think maybe
we're ready to be happy again.
Maddie, I...
And I know we've had
100 ups and downs since then,
but, Jet, I wouldn't change a thing.
Aw!
Ooh!
Whoa!
Yeah
They're playing our song.
It's like he doesn't hear a word I say
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like all he wants is to chill out
She's way too serious
She's always in a rush and interrupting
Like she doesn't even care
-You
-Me
We're face-to-face
but we don't see eye-to-eye
- We're like fire and rain
- Like fire and rain
-You can drive me insane
-Drive me insane
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-Like different stars
-Like different stars
You're the harmony to every song I sing
Trust me when I say if you're thinking
of dancing, you'll regret it if you don't.
She's always trying to save the day
I just wanna watch the game
She's all or nothing
But my feelings never change
Why does he try to read my mind?
It's not good to psychoanalyze
She tries to pick a fight
to get attention
That's what all
of my friends say
-You
-Me
We're face-to-face
but we don't see eye-to-eye
-We're like fire and rain
-Like fire and rain
-You can drive me insane
-You can drive me insane
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're like different stars
-Like different stars
You're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
When I'm yes, she's no
When I hold on, he just lets go
We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing, no
- We're like fire and rain
- Like fire and rain
-You can drive me insane
-You can drive me insane
-But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're like different stars
Like different stars
But you're the harmony
to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Come on, G. It's the last dance
of the night. Grab a partner.
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're Venus and Mars
-We're like different stars
-Like different stars
But you're the harmony
to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Everyone, everyone,
this is Madison of Mad and Mad fame.
What's up, Wildcats?
We have heard so much about you.
- I have a long drive home.
- I know.
- You'll call when camp's over?
- Like I could forget your number.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Got a minute to check in?
- Yeah, of course.
You wanna put that script down?
Of course.
So, tonight has been memorable.
Oh, yeah, everyone loves the camp prom.
Hey, please don't put
that drink on Elsa's castle.
We need it for tomorrow night.
Sorry.
EJ, you missed the last dance.
Crap. Hold on. I'll put on a song
and we can just boogie around.
EJ, stop.
We had two completely different nights.
And I'm starting to think we're
having two completely different summers.
Look, I'm a little distracted with
opening night tomorrow, but...
But maybe it goes deeper
than that, you know?
I mean, you graduated from East High.
Your world is getting bigger,
and I'm still at the photo booth
trying to fit three mustaches
on my face for a group photo.
- I could do those things.
- That's just it.
You've done those things
when you were a camper here.
But you're not a camper anymore.
I mean, you missed out on
the woman in the woods,
you haven't joined
the whole bucket list quest thing,
which has actually been super fun.
Sorry. Is it me or do both of those things
have the same person in common?
- This is not about Ricky.
- Well, I know there's history there.
I was trying to make a future with you.
And I know that I don't have a solid plan
for the fall, but if everything works out,
then I think maybe...
I think the problem is...
I think the problem is that "maybe"
isn't good enough for me right now.
All my life has been about change.
"Maybe" is all I've ever known.
And maybe I came to the dance solo,
and maybe I...
I don't know, EJ.
Maybe I should leave solo, too.
Don't do that. We're great together.
For five minutes
at the beginning of the summer.
But we haven't really
been together this summer. Not really.
And if that's a preview to some future
where we can't be together at all,
I think I need to skip ahead.
What do you mean by "skip ahead"?
I mean I can't be a "maybe" anymore, EJ.
Not now and not later.
Look.
- You're wonderful.
- But it's over.
Can it really be over if it never
really got a chance to start?
Elton John?
So then I burst in the door,
and I'm like, "Am I too late?"
I've never done a show before.
I don't even know the songs.
- Excuse me.
- Hey, Gina.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
- One second.
- Hey, is everything okay?
- Yeah.
It wouldn't be a dance without me
running into you at coat check, right?
Yeah. Hey, while I have you...
There's something important
I have to tell you, if you have a sec.
You do?
It can wait if there's something
you're working through.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh.
Hey. Hey, what's the...
It's okay.
I got that. It's okay.
Folks, this is a general reminder
about PDA, and the reminder is don't.
It's fine...
You're not alone
You're not alone
Oh!
Sorry. I didn't think anyone
would be here. Did you want me to...
No. You're fine. It's okay. Yeah. No.
Okay. What was that song?
It's kind of like
a prayer I sing when I can't breathe.
- You can't breathe, but you can sing?
- Music is magic.
Kourtney, is there something going on?
Okay. I'm worried about tomorrow.
I completely dropped EJ's
line prompt tonight. What if I choke?
- Kourt...
- Look.
It happened at the climbing wall
and it's happened 1,000 times before.
So I was actually thinking about
asking you if you would...
No.
You know all of Elsa's lines and you
were looking for a big break. So...
My big break was spending
this summer with you girls.
I'm good. You are better.
Oh!
- Sorry. I thought this was gonna be empty.
- We can leave.
No. No, it's okay.
Uh, actually,
I just said goodbye to somebody
that I wasn't even expecting to say hello
to tonight, so I'm a little upside-down.
She was glowing. So were you.
Don't mind us. Just talking
about deep fears over here.
- Is this about the climbing wall?
- And all it stands for, yes.
I thought your teacher said you would
do it when you were ready. Right?
I think I'm just gonna go to bed
and pretend like tomorrow night
isn't opening night.
Hey, guys. I was just on the swings.
- I forgot about swings.
- Hey. Are you okay?
I think I just broke up with EJ.
Let's talk about it later.
I guess tonight did end with a bang.
Well, as long as it ends soon.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe I can wake up as someone else.
Hey, Kourt, can I borrow your prayer?
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
Can't believe I'm here right now
I can see myself lift off the ground
I know how cliché this sounds
But I can hear a voice
say through the crowd
You're not alone
- My fears, they keep on rising
- You're not alone
But I won't stop trying
Here I come
Loud as a lion
I'll keep on fighting
I've just begun
See the horizon
I'll keep on climbing
I've shown that
I've grown through the changes
Had to prove to myself I'mma make it
Here I come
I won't stop till the war is won
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How was your night?
- Confusing.
Mmm-hmm. Same.
You're not alone
Oh, gosh. Here you are. I've been looking
everywhere. How many acres is this place?
- One?
- It's about Carlos. He wants to do it.
Here I come
Loud as a lion
I'll keep on fighting
I've just begun
See the horizon
I'll keep on climbing
I've shown that
I've grown through the changes
Had to prove to myself I'mma make it
Here I come
I won't stop till the war is won
I can be bold
Be unashamed
Be in control
Be unafraid
Letting it show
I was born to be brave
You got this. No one's judging you, bro.
Loud as a lion
I'll keep on fighting
I've just begun
See the horizon
I'll keep on climbing
I've shown
that I've grown through the changes
Had to prove to myself I'mma make it
Here I come
I won't stop till the war is won
I won't stop till the war is won
Kourt.
Hey, Gadget?
You know you're one of us now, right?
Wait. So, wait. I'm confused.
EJ is directing a movie
for the Disney Channel?
Honey, no. EJ is directing Frozen,
the stage version,
and Corbin Bleu is directing
the documentary.
And it's not for Disney Channel,
it's for Disney Plus.
- Okay, which one was Quibi?
- Let's get you home.
Hey, Ricky. Thanks for the encouragement
out there. You're my hero.
Did you just call me a hero?
No way. Oh, my gosh.
Bucket list.
Seb. Next time, you're dunking. I swear.
I did not see that coming.
- Hi again.
- Hello.
- You look a little better.
- You look a little wetter.
What was the thing
you were gonna tell me earlier?
Right. Okay. Um, yeah.
You know the other day when we had
to sing that song in front of Channing,
and it was kind of intense?
Okay.
Um...
I said something to Carlos
that day in private.
Or at least I thought it was private.
And apparently,
Channing caught it on camera.
What did you say?
Something going on?
We kind of broke up tonight.
- Really?
- Yeah. I don't wanna talk about it.
Um, okay, so what did you say
to Carlos that day?
Um...
I told him that
he looked majestic as Olaf.
- Nothing wrong with a friendly fib.
- You can say that again.
- I'm gonna...
- Yeah. Me, too.
- Right. Good night.
- Night, Ricky.
Rocket Man.
Just the guy I was looking for. Hey.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, absolutely.
Did you have fun with Madison?
Yeah, that's a little complicated. Like...
I thought it was over, but then she said
maybe she still likes me
and to please call when I get home.
I guess none of the new girls
caught your eye this summer.
What's up, hippies?
- Sorry. What?
- You were looking for me?
- Yeah. Did you hear from Val?
- No. Why?
She got a tip that Channing is
gonna go full reality-show tomorrow.
Like, he wants to try and stir up
all kinds of trouble.
And it could mean that
opening night will be a train wreck.
Well, what are we gonna do?
Buckle up.
THEME MUSIC PLAYING...
