Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 9 - School House Trap - full transcript

Raven's Home
Was filmed

in front of a live
studio audience.

Oh, Rae, did you need help?

No, Chels, I was practicing
my juggling.

Aw, well good for you, Raven.
Keep at it, huh?

Why do you have
all that stuff, though?

Little z hired me to make
jean jackets for his dancers

for his new music video.

Did you hear that?
I'm gettin' the check.

Signed by a 13-year-old,
but it's still a check.

Yeah.



Listen, you're not gonna turn
your sewing machine on now,

because I'm about to
video chat with a client.

But the acoustics are
much better in the kitchen.

Hey, mom, can you sign
my permission slip?

Oh, yeah. Sure.
What, uh... what am I permissing?

Oh. Our class is taking
a field trip.

We're going to volunteer
at the recycling center.

Oh! Booker,
where's your permission slip?

Oh, oh, no.
I-I volunteered not to go.

Tess, we... we talked
about the knocking.

Oh!
Yeah, you're right.

- Guess what, guys?
- What?

We made it
to the next round

in the Radio Eclipse live
competition!



- Oh!
- I-I can't believe it!

I mean,
I should believe it,

but we actually did it.

Well, okay,
so what do we do next?

Well, we have to come up with
a theme for the next music video.

That means a new song,
costumes...

You don't have to be coy.

Yes. I'll direct the video.

*RAVEN'S HOME*
Season 03 Episode 08

*RAVEN'S HOME*
Episode Title: "School House Trap"

Guys, can you believe it?
All of our dreams are coming true.

Except for the one where I show
up to school with no pants on.

Whew!

Guys, if we want to win
that contest,

we need to focus on coming up
a with a theme for the video.

We'll talk about it later.
Bye.

Hey, Booker,

I thought you'd be
a lot happier about this.

Come on.

Yeah, I would be.

If I didn't have
to deal with this.

Ooh. Uh, any chance that "D"
stands for "Darn good grade"?

And the worst part is,
my mom has to sign this.

Otherwise, I can't take
the make-up test.

No more Chi-lective.
You're finished.

Finished, finished...

Okay, new plan.

My mom can't sign this.

I just had a vision.
If my mom sees this,

she's not gonna let me
be in the group anymore.

I have to keep her
from finding out.

Well, that's not gonna
happen.

Your mom knows
everything.

She probably already knows
about this conversation.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Booker, you better
not be putting

your sweaty gym clothes
in my locker again.

It took a week to get the smell
of stale potatoes out.

Okay, for the record,

that was only because it was
French fry Friday, you tater-hater.

- Anyway, Nia, I need a favor.
- What's up?

I need you to sign mom's
name on my test paper.

Raven Baxter.

As in Raven
"You gon' get it" Baxter.

Booker, what makes you
think I can sign her name?

'Cause you both
do the B's with, like,

the small stem
and the little loop-de-loop.

And it took me years
to master them.

You think I'm gonna
use it for evil?

So, you're on the fence
about it.

Booker, I'm on the "no"
side of the fence.

I'm not forging
mom's signature.

Please, Nia.
You're my sister.

- Help me out.
- Nope.

Uh-uh, no. You were supposed
to study for the test,

but you didn't.
Why?

I don't know.
Maybe I'm just bad at taking tests.

I-I studied a little,
but it's a lot to remember.

Please just sign the test.
It's not a big deal.

It's a very big deal.
Forgery is a crime.

What are you talking about?
You do it all the time, Tess!

Hey. Hey, hey.
This isn't about me right now.

Besides, my mom taught me
how to sign her name

so that
I'd stop bothering her

while she's watching one of
those lonely housewife shows.

I'm not doing it, Booker.

Then I'm gonna get
kicked out of the group.

We're not gonna kick you
out of the Chi-lective.

Oh, you won't have to.

According to my vision,
mom's gonna do it.

That's why I need you
to sign this test.

Look, show mom that test,

and I'll help you study
for the make-up,

but I'm no signing it for her.

Bedding. Clothing.

Delicates.

Dang it.
Cat man clark.

Hey, Mr... No, Mr. Clark, hey,
you can't use all three machines.

- It's one per tenant.
- I am not aware of that rule.

I'm just saying.
It's common courtesy.

Oh. Well, I was here first.

And my 12 cats need
their pajamas cleaned.

Who puts their cats in pajamas?

Oh, like I'm the person who made
up the phrase "the cat's pajamas"?

Could you just remember

to clean out your machines
when you're done?

I don't want to put a label
on my clothes that says,

"may contain hairballs."

meow!

May I remind you

of last month's
melted candy bar incident?

That chocolate permanently
stained whisker's lederhosen.

Are you implying that
I'm not smart enough

to take my delicious chocolate bar
out of my... I mean, what... wait...

Lederhosen?

He's a German short hair.

Good, 'cause it was
a German chocolate bar.

You guys, so the host of radio
eclipse live just announced

that the winner
of the competition

will not only win 25k,

but they will also
sign a record deal!

- A record deal? Are you serious?
- That could change our lives.

Can you imagine the exposure
I'll get for directing the video?

Wow, minnow.

A little less about
you, and more of us.

We're the only ones
repping Chi-Town.

We have to bring this home.

- Whatever it takes.
- Yeah.

Yeah, Nia.
Whatever it takes.

I am not signing
that test for you.

I think Nia's right.

There's no real reason
for us to cheat like this.

There's three reasons
for us to cheat like this.

$25,000. A record deal.
A trip to Cali.

Yeah, that's three reasons.
You know,

just like the third amendment.
Which is...

Mm. Uh...

"Do what you need to do
to get what you want."

Oh, come on, Nia.
He is more than a week-long project.

So you guys want me to go
against everything I believe in,

and forge mom's signature?

- Yes!
- Yes!

Oh! So now you wanna
hear my ideas?

Nia, come on.
We could all use this.

Just think how much
we could do with that money.

Please, Nia. Come on.

It's just
one small signature.

One small stem
and two little loop-de-loops.

No, Booker. I can't.

Come on, Nia.
I'll owe you forever.

Look, we're twins.
We shared an umbilical cord.

Maybe. I'm not...
I'm not sure how biology works.

Please.

Fine.

I'll do it.

You don't think I know
what's going on, do you?

You don't think I know.

Cat man Clark wants to use
all the washing machines.

But I got a surprise for him.

I'm about to wash everything
in this house.

Take off your school clothes,
'cause I'm washing 'em.

Hey, good session, myron.

Making a lot of progress, huh?

Next time,
you'll put on that other shoe.

- Same time next week, huh?
- All right.

Hello? Yes. Hi. Yes.
We are on schedule.

- Oh, wow.
- Oh. Okay.

Okay. Thank you.
Bye. Chels.

That was little z's
dad-ager, big z,

and they're moving up
the deadline.

What?

I'm in
a problem-solving mood.

- Thank you, because I...
- I think I'm gonna call up myron

and help him put on
that other shoe.

Chels.

I need your help.

Oh.

Oh, well, I guess I could make
the call from the laundry room

and wait for one of
the machines to open up. Huh?

You would do that?
Thank you, Chels.

I don't know what I would do without you.
You are my ride or dry.

Chels? Chels, did you get lost?

The laundry room is that way.

It was too loud down there.
I couldn't hear anything.

Chels, I have a deadline to meet.
I gotta wash my stuff.

Yeah, well, I've got
my own business to run, too.

Wow. I thought you were
my ride or dry.

Turns out you're just dry.

Rae!

No, no. It's okay. You know what?
I'll do it myself.

I'm gonna sort through
Booker's clothes,

then I'm gonna
head down there.

Rae, listen, I'm still
your ride or dry. Okay?

What is this?

Booker got a "D" on his test.

Maybe "D" stands for, you know,
"Darn good grade."

Why are you acting so surprised?
You signed it.

Let's just write a song
about being criminals.

'Cause apparently
that's what we are now!

Come on, Nia. Focus.

Okay.

Okay. All right.
What do we want to say

musically this time around?

Look, everybody knows
that we can dance,

and that we have a good flow,
but what's next?

Well, we should try to do
something totally out of the box.

What about a massive food fight?
Those are always fun.

She knows!
Run!

Get downstairs,
now.

Mom, I can explain.

It's all my fault.

You know, I should have
studied for that test.

And then I tried
to hide it from you.

Well, that part is clear.
The true mystery is,

who signed my name?

I did it, I did it!
I forged your signature.

Uh, that does feel really
good to get off my chest.

You do know that forgery
is a crime, right?

You know, everybody
keeps saying that.

Boy!

The ice that you're on right now is
so thin, it's cracked. All right?

What got into the two of you?

Mom, we didn't wanna ruin our
chances for the competition.

I am so tired of hearing
about this contest.

You know what? In fact,
no more Chi-lective.

You're finished.

- Well, there's my vision.
- That goes for both of you.

Mom, we could win
a record deal.

No, you can't.

Not now. 'cause you kids need to
be reminded of your priorities.

But mom, that's not fair.

You always said you'll be
supportive of our dreams.

And right now,
you're not supporting us.

Booker, I will support you and your
sister in whatever you choose to do.

Except for lying to me
and failing out of school.

- Mom, we're sorry.
- Yeah. You should be.

And now you have to deal
with the consequences.

You can forget about
that field trip.

- But mom...
- I don't want to hear any more out of

either of you.

Go to your rooms.

What?

Hi, big z.

- I can't believe mom caught us.
- Really?

Even though you had a
vision that she caught us

and threw us out
of the group?

You are the worst
psychic ever!

Okay, I had a vision she was
gonna throw me out of the group.

I didn't know she was gonna
kick you out, too.

Yeah, that's exactly what the
worst psychic ever would say.

I told you to go to your rooms.
Not go to Booker's room.

You know what, since y'all just
wanna do whatever y'all wanna do,

why don't you tell me what
else should be your punishment?

I... I don't know.
I-I-I think we've been punished enough.

But, but, but we could, um...

Lose our phones for,
like, a day.

Two weeks?

Uh, we could stop
watching tv after school.

And... and I guess
no more fork-knife.

I would have stopped at the phones,
but yeah, tack all that one, too.

I'm not just mad.

I'm disappointed.

There's not enough
punishment for that.

Uh-oh. That's an unhappy face.
What's wrong?

I don't know what I'm gonna
do about the Chi-lective.

Oh, yeah.
I heard that was a no-go.

But it's not fair.

I worked just as hard as they
did, and now it's all over.

I know. I know.
Listen,

I usually save my sage advice
for my paying clients,

but I'm gonna do this one
pro-bono. All right?

Unfortunately, Tess,

- life isn't fair.
- Wow. And people pay you for this?

Well, I wasn't finished.

Okay? And I'm doing
the free trial version.

Listen, Booker
and Nia did wrong.

You know? And now,
they have to pay the price.

Okay. Guess you get
what you pay for.

Yeah. Too bad you couldn't figure
out how to fix your own problem

by coming up with a way
to do the video

and help Booker with his
studies at the same time, huh?

Wow.

That's it, Ms. G.!

That's some good advice.

Why is everyone so surprised by that?
It's my job.

Chels.
Chelsea.

Chelsea.

Chelsea, look. Look!

"Out of order."
what are those signs for?

I'm gonna put 'em on top
of the washing machine.

Oh, that's a shame.
The machines are broken,

and now you can't
wash your stuff.

No, no, Chels. No, no, no.

Other people can't wash
their stuff because

I made the signs.

You broke the machines
on purpose?

Okay, I need you to just
follow along.

- All right, sweetheart?
- Okay.

I made the signs to put on top
of the washing machines,

so nobody else uses them,

but me.

Okay, listen, I think your
whole plan is out of order.

- I mean, you could get in trouble.
- Pssssh.

- By who?
- Uh, property management?

They'll never know.

Aah! Chels, answer the door
so I can hide the evidence!

- Is Ms. B. Here?
- Mm-hmm.

I think I came up with the
perfect solution to our issue.

- Really?
- Tess.

You knocked.

So I guess the way
this is gonna work is...

You knock when you
need something.

Kinda.

- Ms. B...
- I don't have time for this.

Okay, Rae, Rae, Rae.
Listen, you punishing Booker and Nia

affects Tess, too, right?

The least you could do
is hear her out.

You got one minute.

Okay. So, I was thinking,

what if Nia and I help Booker
study for his make-up test,

by using his history lesson
as inspiration for our video?

And why do you think
that would work?

'Cause he says he has trouble
remembering stuff.

But he remembers lyrics for
the Chi-lective, no problem,

so, if we turn lessons
into lyrics...

Yeah, yeah. Wow.

Wow, Rae. Look at that.

- I don't know, Tess.
- Our first priority will be

to make sure Booker passes
his make-up test.

- I promise.
- Come on, Rae. What do you say?

Okay, but he has to pass that test,
and they're still grounded.

If he doesn't pass the test,

I don't wanna hear any more
arguments for the Chi-lective.

You got it, Ms. B.

I hope this cat had nine lives.

Not nasty.

Oh, not nasty!

Ooh, I'm about to use these
until the cats come home. Ha ha!

You guys think this is gonna
help me pass the make-up test?

It better.
Or else I'll have to face your mom.

We'll all have to face her.

- Let's hear it, Booker.

Hey, book.

I'm sorry.

Look, as your sister,
I am supposed to push you

to be the best you

And going forward,
that's what I plan to do.

And I'm gonna do
the same thing for you.

Really?

Well, I mean, one day
you might mess up, too.

Mm, no.

Look, Nia,

I'm sorry I asked you to forge
her signature in the first place.

I had a vision
I was going to get in trouble.

I shouldn't have

Well, I...

Yes, Mr. Z.

I made "z" deadline.

I'm sorry, what?

You're going

Okay, uh, do I still get
my deposit?

Oh, okay. Okay, great.
Have a great day. Bye.

How'd you do
on your make-up test?

A B-plus. You passed!

You know I like to call it the
Booker-plus, but I passed,

- I passed. I passed. I passed.
- You passed. You passed.

- I passed. I passed.
- He passed. He passed.

Who at the door? Who at the door?
Who at the door?

Aah!

It's... it's the Cat man
from the second floor.

Hey. Hey, Mr. Clark.
What happened?

Uh, whiskers escape again?

For the last time, he does not escape.
He power walks.

Now, did you litter
the laundry room

- with these fake signs?
- Mm-mm.

Wasn't me. Mm-mm.
I don't know who would do such a thing.

Really. It sounds like someone

is suffering from amnesia.

I am so sorry.
Well, in that case,

I'm not Raven Baxter.
She's down the hall. Bye.

No, no...

Now, before we go any further,
I would like you to know

that they have cameras in and
outside of the laundry room.

Mm, what's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?

No.

We're gonna talk about this
right now...

Now, please, help your momma.
Help your momma!

- We're gonna talk about this later!
- Mm, bye!

You have anything
you want to tell us?

I plead the fifth.
The right to remain silent.

Aw. You learned something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Write a song about it.

You can go on your field trip,
only because it's for school.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Tess, Tess, Tess,
Tess, Tess, Tess!

Tess.

Tess.

Guess what, guys?

We got the results back
from Radio Eclipse live.

Okay.

And the Chi-lective
made it to the finals.

That's amazing.

- They didn't even...
- Hey, what's going on?

We are going to LA.
