Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 25 - In-Shoe-encer - full transcript

Nia becomes an influencer after winning a contest sponsored by a shoe company - until Levi breaks the news that the show company doesn't stand for the things Nia believes.

"Raven's Home" was filmed

in front of a live
studio audience.

All in the fam
in the house say, "Yeah!"

Yeah.

- What are you up to, micro machine?
- Yeah, you figure out

who you're gonna write your
big Peanut Profile column about?

Huh, Levi? Huh? Huh?

There are a few possibilities,

but I can't find anyone
with that pizazz.

We're right here, bruh.

Uh, why is this happening?



You remember that MeGram video
I submitted to Psy-Key

for their big contest to become
their next influencer?

I really want to say yes.

Well, I won! Yes, Psy-Key
picked me to sponsor!

I've already got 500 new followers,
and it's only been like 10 minutes!

Yo, that's amazing!

Their limited edition
shoes are fire.

I prefer their
floral sports line.

What? It breathes
more freely than cotton.

What? I'm a tastemaker.

The best part is Psy-Key
is all about giving back.

So, for every item you buy,

they donate the same item
to a country in need.

I get to be an influencer for a
company that's ethically on point.



Wow, Nia.
You know, you have a gift

for taking
something so dope,

and making
it so nope.

Hey! Nia would make

the perfect subject
for my Peanut Profile.

Really? With us
standing right here?

She's Carver's
first true influencer.

Nia, what else can you
tell me about Psy-Key?

I need all the deets.

Well,
as long as I make

a MeGram post
for them every day,

they'll give us free
swag for the next year!

- For a year?
- Yeah!

Nia, Nia, Nia,

always lead with that!

So, we're talking
all their latest stuff,

not their old junk,
for free?

Come on.
Let's squeal it out.

Season 03 Episode 25

Yep! That's us.

Episode Title: "In-Shoe-encer"
Aired on: April 26, 2020

Okay, just-just
move it right there.

Come on, Serena,
come on, girl.

Ow! Oh, Venus! Venus!

Come on, girl!

Serena's doing
all the work here.

It's just you, me,
and a really huge deadline.

Work with me.

Hey, Rae.

Listen, ever since you broke
your wrist,

I've been extra careful lately,
you know, watching every...

every little step, yeah?

- I get it, Chels, I get it.
- Okay.

And we're good!
I brought you that gold lamé

you wanted for that
dress you're making.

Actually, that's for
the next dress I'm making

for the grand opening of
Your Best Dressed Life!

Oh! You mean that
strapless mermaid gown?

Oh no! That's the other
dress I'm making

for the grand
opening of...

- You get it.
- Yeah.

You know, Rae, I'm looking over
the schedule here, and, well,

it says you should've
been done with those dresses,

like, 45 minutes ago.

Does that schedule say anything
about breaking my wrist?

No.

Yeah, right, 'cause
the schedule has changed.

I sent you a text message.

No, you didn't.
You sent me, like,

a blurry picture
of your elbow,

and a whole bunch of gibberish!

I only have
one working hand.

That's your texting hand.

All right, fine.

What's the new schedule?

So, instead of putting
the finishing touches

on all of the dress forms
at one,

packing them up and
transporting them by three,

and then putting them on
the mannequins at four,

I'm just gonna sew until,
like, noon tomorrow.

Okay. We open at ten.

I know, Chels!

Come on! It hurts!

Ow ooo.

Hey, you know
who has two hands,

a free schedule, and took
Ms. Steinberg's third grade

sewing class?

Who's also gesturing
to herself?

Desperate times call
for desperate measures.

Yes! Ha!
Let's do this!

Yeah, let's do it.

Okay... Just stop...

It's like a ride!

I mean, I have
some nice kicks,

but these are
like next level.

Tess, do you feel like
we're kind of taking advantage

of Nia's influencer fame?

We could give
the shoes back.

No, I said...
I said kind of, Tess.

Wow, Nia's got
that fame flame.

Have you ever seen
her look so happy?

Well, the one time, I threw
a soda can in the trash,

then took it out and put
it in the recycling bin,

yeah, she happy-cried
for hours.

Wow. I have never dealt with
this level of popularity before.

I mean,
you get used to it.

My new followers
take me so seriously.

I posted this cute cat
video and everyone thought

I was starting an animal
rescue campaign.

I mean, I just
thought it was cute,

but then I started an
animal rescue campaign!

And I bet the rescue
campaign was super cute too.

With Psy-Key's help,
I really am making a difference.

Yeah, you are!
These shoes are so comfortable,

I feel like they actually
make me more relaxed.

A scuff?!

This is why we can't
have nice things, Jamar!

Great work, people.

Even you, Carl.

Ah, now that's the sound
of a good scoop.

Are you working on your
Peanut Profile of Nia?

I'm actually looking into the
company that's sponsoring her.

Psy-Key! They have
a wholesome reputation.

Well,
I did some digging,

and I'm not sure they're
as wholesome as they appear.

Ooh. Tantalizing tale!

Well, I need a couple more
sources. I'm still fact-checking.

Take all the time you need,
but make it fast.

If what you're saying
is true,

this could be
pretty juicy!

We can't sit
on it for too long.

I'm on it, Chief.

All right, Chels, we're gonna
start with something super simple.

Oh, this is so exciting!

I get a little
glimpse into your,

you know, creative process.

- Exactly. All right, step one!
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- Turn on the machine.
- Okay.

Ah!

There,
that wasn't so hard.

Look at you!
You're a natural.

Yes, I have very accurate
button-pressing skills.

Now, I want you to do

a blind hem stitch
on this dress.

Oh, all right, Rae, if you...
if you think it'll help.

Just follow my lead,
okay, Chels?

Okay.

- Put your foot on the pedal. Yeah.
- Okay.

- All right... Oh, see?
- Oh!

- Yeah.
- Careful! Got a lot of power!

- I want you to go a little straight,
- Okay.

A little up...

- ...and then a little back, all right?
- Got it.

- Okay, up...
- No, just a little bit, a little straight.

A little up,
and then a little back.

Okay, I'm gonna try again.

Straight, up, back,
and then you gotta follow...

Don't go to the left 'cause you
gotta make sure the fabric... Ow!

- I got it, I got it, I got it.
- Ow, Venus!

Hey, Rae!
Hey, um,

I was thinking, why don't
you and Venus, you know,

go take a rest
or something, huh?

Chels, if I go back in that
room, I'm going to sleep.

Perfect, right?
I mean, we're fine out here.

This machine practically
does everything itself.

I'll finish up sewing and then go
to the work space and set up, huh?

- Really, Chels?
- Yeah!

Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, thank you.

Aah!

Well, I don't hate it.

Guess who got
a new swag box!

- We did!
- We did!

All right, Nia,
come on. Tell me what's in the box.

Come on, tell me what's in the box.
Tell me, Nia!

Okay, look, I'm not great
at the whole patience thing.

I'm gonna open this live
on my MeGram page.

Unboxing videos
get tons of views.

- But I'll let you know what we get!
- Okay, okay, okay.

She gon' go do that right now, Tess,
right? She's gon' go unbox the box,

and then tell us what's in the box,
Tess? Please tell me, Tess!

Okay, you're,
like, up here,

and you need to bring
it down to here.

You guys, where's Nia?

I don't think Psy-Key
delivered to countries in need.

Uh, so? They fell
behind a little.

I mean, it must be hard keeping
up with so many deliveries.

Yeah. I mean, how many
have they delivered so far?

According
to my source,

nada, zero, zilch,
one minus one!

Those poor
people in need.

They could be
looking so dope.

Levi, I don't
think you're right.

I mean, the majority
of Psy-Key's success

is built on the fact that they
give swag to countries in need.

Well, I'm afraid my source says

they haven't delivered anything.

Everyone, post about your
donations and tag Psy-Key!

What'd you see?

I saw Nia donating
and talking about Psy-Key.

They must be legit.

That's why Nia
looked so happy.

Levi, I don't trust your source.

Check out
all of the swag!

Oh, I never thought being an
influencer would have such an impact!

And not just online
but at school too.

- Oh, word?
- Word.

So many people have
joined the composting club

and are volunteering at the
homeless shelter because of me.

And somebody even made
a Carver Peanut statue

out of recycled
plastic bottles.

Oh, nothing says success

like a trash statue.

Being an influencer
is so rewarding!

Levi,
I agree with Booker.

I've never seen
Nia so happy,

and she's doing so much good!

I don't think you should say
anything until you are sure it's true.

Okay, I'll keep researching,

but you guys keep Nia
from posting about Psy-Key.

If I'm wrong, no harm done,
but if I'm right,

you'll have saved
Nia's reputation.

Ah, please let Levi be wrong.

Oh, please
let Levi be wrong.

Okay, so we just need
to distract Nia from posting

while Levi does more
research on Psy-Key.

No problem. I mean, how hard can it
be to keep a teenage girl off her phone?

I'm sorry, what?

Okay, I'm ready for my close-up!

Actually, not too close up.
I wanna get my shoes in it.

Uh, Nia, wait.

Um, your hairdo

is looking a little hair-don't.
Let me fix it.

Okay, um, here you go.

Oh!

- Let me fix your makeup.
- Okay...

Tess, what are you doing?

Oh, girl,
you look a mess.

Yeah, you don't
want any of these.

Oh! These are hilarious!

Oh, they're so candid.

I'm totally relatable.

Yeah, well, you know what?
Let me post them for you.

Okay.

Oh, man.

The MeGram app
just disappeared.

Oh. No, no, you just
accidentally deleted it.

No worries. I'll re-download.

But I think I'm gonna keep my
hair like this, Tess. It's very edgy.

Oh, it's ready. Right...

...and post!

Thank you, guys!

Man, looks like
it is impossible

to keep a teenage
girl off her phone.

Did you say something?

Oh, wow.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

Oh! Oh, no! Oh!

Chels! Chelsea,
I need to talk to you! Chels!

Boo!

You should be happy
I only have one good hand.

Come on!
I was just having a laugh,

but I scared you
though, didn't I?

- Didn't I?
- Not as much as these outfits!

Chels,
these are not my designs!

Is that... your... shirt?

Yeah!

Yeah, I put a little bit
of myself into every design.

Which reminds me,

I think we need to refill
the first aid kit.

Thanks, Chels. I appreciate
you for helping out, I really do.

- Thank you.
- Come here.

We're just gonna have
to postpone the opening.

What? No, no,
we can't postpone, Rae.

Everybody's RSVPed!

Oh, then we're gon' have to lock
the door and put a sign up

that says this building
is condemned, 'cause I...

Hi! Hello! Hello! Chels!

Chelsea, we gotta get...

Alexandra, I need to talk
to you about the Psy-Key story!

Gonna be huge.
You were really onto something.

Well, I'm gonna
need some more time.

I just need to fact-check
a few more sources.

Go ahead, Levi.
Take all the time you need.

Thank you.

- Because I already wrote it.
- Wait, what?

I looked into Psy-Key,
and you were right.

I knew it would be a
conflict of interest for you

because you're
a really good brother,

so I did
the heavy lifting.

We're sharing
a byline, Levi.

You're welcome!

We have to stop the article.
It can't go to print or post!

Levi! It's done!

The Peanuts have a right
to know the truth!

I love all the MeGram
comment love I've been getting.

Hey, check this one out.

"Thought you cared about
the world, Nia. Guess not."

That wasn't love.

- That's harsh.
- Hey, you know what?

Trollers gon' troll.

- Yes, they are.
- True.

All right. I'm sure
the other comments are nice.

Let's see. "You are a fraud."

Hey, guys, what's up?

- Hey wait. You don't think they know?
- No. How could they?

All right, next one!

Let's see... Oh!

Great, here's a good one.

Let's see, it's a link
to the Peanut Post.

Levi must've finished
his article about me.

"Psy-Key, More Like Lie-Key."

Wait, this says Psy-Key hasn't
donated any items to charity!

Ever.

Oh my gosh, guys,
this is horrible!

- Yeah, horrible. Awful.
- Terrible. That's ridiculous.

Why would Levi write
this without telling me?

I should've been the first
person that he talked to!

Nia, I need to talk to you!

Oh, now you
wanna talk to me?

Yes. There's gonna
be an article...

- Levi, it's too late.
- She found out.

Wait. You all knew?

How could you keep this
from me?

Well, I wanted to tell you,

but I couldn't until
I had all the facts.

Yeah, and me and Tess
tried to protect you

and keep you
from posting, but...

But the more we messed with you,
the better you looked.

- Yeah.
- It's actually very annoying.

Everyone is calling me a fraud.

And they're right.

I thought Psy-Key was great,
but they're not,

and I put my name
behind them.

But you used
your new audience

to speak up about
things that matter.

You couldn't know
what you didn't know.

I mean, she could've known
if we would've told her.

- Yeah.
- We didn't say nothing.

Yeah, that's on us.
We definitely could've...

Exactly. Like, "Hey! Hello!"

"An article's gonna come
out." Like, yeah, yeah.

True.

But it's also on me.

No, I should've looked
deeper into Psy-Key

before accepting
that sponsorship.

Nia, listen to me. You cannot
let those comments get to you.

Your intentions
were good.

Those people don't
know you like we do.

Well, they will.

I need to make this right.

Yeah, but we get to keep
the stuff, right?

I mean,
it's already been worn.

So, who's with me?

- Too soon.
- Come on, man.

- We sold everything, Chels. Everything!
- I know!

Even your stuff.

We sold scrap fabric
as headbands!

You're welcome!

And my life coaching
is so on point.

I even convinced this woman
who's afraid of the dark

to get into the closet,
turn the lights off,

and shut the door!

- No way! No way! You did that, girl?
- Yes way! Way!

I did that!

- How long was she in the closet for?
- Oh, no.

Hey...

Claire! Claire! Good work!

Good work, huh?

Listen, um,
this one's on the house.

Oh.

Okay, we sold a whole
bunch of janky clothes,

you locked a woman
in the closet

for I don't know how long...

- Yeah, that happened. That happened.
- We can do no wrong!

Yeah, I guess two
wrongs do make a right.

Or our business.

Just like our friendship.

Wabi-sabi.

Yeah, Rae.

That's what we are.
We're wabi-sabi.

What does wabi-sabi mean?

It's Japanese. It means that
there's beauty in the flaws.

Aw.

We were so worried about
making this opening

and everything perfect,

when, in actuality,

the mistakes is what
made it perfection.

Oh, Rae.

I love that.

- Wasabi, Rae. Wasabi.
- Wabi-sabi.

- Wabi-sabi.
- Wabi-sabi.

So, I'm officially
not wearing or promoting

Psy-Key in any way.

Psy-Key weaves a web of lies,
and everyone hates spiders.

Dang. She's really
giving it to 'em.

I don't know what she means,
but preach, girl!

Okay, guys. I'm reading
your live comments.

"You're only apologizing
'cause you got caught."

No. I'm apologizing

because I found out that Psy-Key
is dishonest, which I didn't know.

"That's not enough, fraud."

- You're right.
- You know what?

Nia believed Psy-Key
was doing good.

So, we're going to do
what they didn't.

We're gonna donate all the swag
Psy-Key gave us to charity.

We are? I-I mean,
that's what's up.

I'll miss you.

- Book, I love that idea.
- Okay.

Um, so post photos of what
you're donating to charity,

whether it's Psy-Key's swag

or just something you
don't need anymore.

And Psy-Key, it's not too late

to fulfill your promise
to donate to charity.

Everyone, post about your
donations and tag Psy-Key!

Read this one.

"Wow, you're
inspiring."

That's really sweet, but we're
just kids trying to do good.

Bye, guys!

Thank you guys
for defending me

and for coming up
with that idea.

Well, I had a vision
of you donating,

so I was like,
we should donate.

Wow, your vision came in handy!

That's happened, never.

Nia, we've got a new angle
for your Peanut Profile.

Levi, I think I'm gonna stay
out of the press for a while.

You've inspired so many people.

We're doing a story focused
on how you've encouraged people

to take action and give back.

You're welcome!

Oh. Thank you, guys.

This feels good.

My shoe game has taken
a step back, though.

But I feel good.

Well, Mom, I heard your grand
opening was a great success.

Oh! Who told
you that?

You-you did.

That's right because
sometimes you gotta brag

when you do something special.

Oh! Well, then Nia should
start bragging, huh?

With that new sponsorship
from a conscious company?

Thanks, Aunt Chels.

- Yeah.
- And Mother Earthwhile checks out.

They use recycled
materials

to make products that
help you reduce waste.

So, you don't have
to worry about that one.

Isn't it awesome?

I mean,
they're not kicks.

They're better!

- Thank you.
- What?!

Oh, great!

Metal straws?

Ah. Saving the world
one sip at a time.
