[♪]

You guys excited for
the lock-in tomorrow?

Yeah. I think
it's gonna be fun

to spend Saturday night
at school...

Is a sentence
I never thought I'd say.

Yeah, I've already
packed a blanket,

some snacks,
and a shaving kit.

Shaving kit?
You shave, Neil?

Mm, not yet,

but if you stay ready,
you don't have to get ready.

Touch my chin.



- Feel anything?
- Yeah.

Uncomfortable.

(text notification chimes)

- It's a text from cami.
- Oh.

She's staying with
her dad this weekend.

(notification chimes)

An eyeball, a woman,
and the letter u.

- What's that mean?
- "I... Miss... You."

Aw.

Tell her I miss her, too.

No, she misses me, Neil.
Alright, it's my phone.

Oh.

- What should I text back?
- I got it.

(whooshing)



(whooshing)

A fish on a skateboard.

A fish
on a skateboard?

Wow. Your text game is weak.

No, I-I just saw
a fish on a skateboard.

Neil and Ivy: Huh?

...Is having a concert!
(nervous laugh)

You know,
they're a hip-hop group.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Th-they're super-overrated, though.

I don't... I don't even
know why I listen to them.

(both laugh)

What are you talkin' about?

- Ivy, look out!
- Whoa!

Whoa.

A fish on a skateboard,

just like that band you hate.

Weird.

Yeah, it is weird.

You mention a fish
on a skateboard,

and one just appears.

The odds of that are,
like, a billion to one.

Wow, (scoffs) Ivy.

All you can talk
about are statistics

after I just saved you from
being the victim of a...

A fish-and-run!

Sorry.

But it's still weird.

(sighs)

Alright, she's gone.

Now, tell me the truth.

W-What? I...

This is a hair, right?

This little one?

(clatters)

When did we eat cement?

- Mom!
- I didn't just throw a dish in the trash.

Now I know you did.

Hey, listen, I need to talk to
you about something important.

Alright, now I know you're
gonna say it's way too soon,

but I really
think I'm ready.

You're not ready for nothin'!
No, no, sweetheart.

You are a baby!

I need to call your dad.

I-I'm ready to tell Ivy
and Neil about my visions!

- What'd you think I was talking about?
- (nervous laugh)

Nothing.

Look, I know how difficult
it is keeping a big secret

like this from your friends,

but I told Eddie and Chelsea.
You just have to trust them.

Well, that's the thing

Ivy and Neil are great,

but I've only known them
for a couple of months.

I need to be absolutely sure
that they can keep a secret.

Ooh. Sounds to me like
you need a plan. (Laughs)

A sh-cheme.
A bit of a...

Subterfuge.

You had me at plan, and then
y-you lost me at subterfuge.

(laughs) well, lucky for you,
you are related

to the queen of sh-chemes!

That's true.

Alice! Thanks, mom.

Alice? No, it was...

You know what? Yeah.

Go... go talk to Alice.

You know, 'cause I didn't
wanna be a part of

your stupid sh-cheme
in the first place!

I'm a grown woman!
I have things to do!

(singing):
Ooh, I look good.

♪ I look good, I look... ♪

What's that, skillet?
I'm sizzlin'?

Ss-ss, ah!

Well, the skillet
may think you're hot,

but me and the toaster
think you're crazy.

Hey, rae!

Hey, dad! Why you wearing
your Sunday best on a Saturday?

What, you, uh, got a date
with a blender?

(laughs) oh, this old thing?

No reason. Guess I gotta
do some laundry.

Okay. I'm going to take Alice
to the hair salon. Got to go.

Hair salon?

Whoa, those places
are nothing but, like,

long waits, endless gossip,

and just silly arguments.

I love it. Let me go.
I'll take her. I can't wait.

(laughs) I'll go get
a new hairdo, too!

(excited squeal, laugh)

(sighs)

(door shuts)

Hey, it's me, Victor.

Can we meet earlier?

Great. (Laughs)

See you then.
I can't wait.

(laughs)

Who threw my favorite dish
in the trash!?

When did we eat cement?

[♪ ♪]

Hey, Alice. I need your
help with a scheme.

I'm in. Who's the Mark?
What's the budget?

Do I need a fake passport?

Whoa...

I just want to test whether Neil and Ivy
can keep a secret.

- So, my plan is for you...
- Me to tell

Ivy and Neil
a made-up secret about you,

and then you'll see if
you can get them to spill.

Yeah. How'd you know?

Scheming 101, son.

So, what's the secret
you want me to tell them?

Okay, I landed
a huge record deal

and I'm about
to go on

- tour with...
- (laughing)

Oh, you're serious?

The secret has to be
believable. Like, uh...

I could say I heard cami
is going to dump you.

Man, why does everybody
think cami's gonna dump me?

'Cause she's outta your league.

Cami babysits Ernie
from my class.

I'll say he heard her talking
about it on the phone.

- I don't know. Seems a little...
- Done!

Just texted Neil and Ivy,
and I told them not to tell you.

Good scheming with you.

Ok... hey hey! W-w-wait,
th-that, um... (laughs)

That part about Ernie
listening in on cami's calls,

that's made up, right?

Let's just say I heard
your text game is... Weak!

(laughs)

[♪ ♪]

Now, you know
I don't like gossip,

but I heard his wife
was so furious,

she chased him down
a freeway for three hours

with a dry pool noodle!

A dry pool noodle?

No, Janice, it was 20 minutes,
and it was a wet toilet brush.

Wet!? That's nasty.

You don't know!
You weren't there!

And neither were you, boo!

(laughs)
I love this place so much.

And they were only
married three days.

It was two,
and that wedding,

mm, was a mess.
Fake flowers.

- (scoffs) tacky.
- Woo! You ain't said nothin' but a word.

Wait, it's just gettin' good!

Well, you know,
relationships are hard.

Not for our new stylist.

She's secretly dating
a local businessman!

But, you didn't
hear it from me.

How could we not?
You the only one
talking, Janice.

Well, keep talking, Janice.
It's gettin' juicy.

He owns a dry cleaners.

It's a restaurant.
Just because you say it loud,

don't make it right, Janice.

Yeah, girl! Uh-huh!
A restaurant?

She better get her a man
that can cook, okurr?

I think he owns the chill gri...

- the chill what?

Oh, they are totally in love!

- Yeah, she did.

Alice, time to go!

♪ ♪

okay, look, booker
will be down any minute

to go to the lock-in.

Should we tell him cami's
gonna break up with him?

We promised Alice we wouldn't.

- Okay.
- I don't want to lie to Booker.

Look, we don't even know
if it's true.

- Let's not freak him out for no reason.
- Yeah.

- (footsteps)
- hey. Here he comes. Just act natural.

(posh accent):
Ahem. Hello, friend.

How was the... Upstairs?

Real natural, Neil.

Hey, guys, I'm sorry
that took so long.

I was on the phone
with cami, and, um,

she was acting
kind of weird.

You haven't heard anything...

Have you?

Nope. Nothing.
Not a thing.

Huh.

How about you, Neil?

I heard...

That pigeons can
recognize human faces.

Mm-hmm.

Anything else?

Maybe they can recognize
other pigeons. I don't know.

Let me check.
(clears throat)

Hey, you know,
I was thinking...

I should get a tattoo
of cami, you know?

There's no reason
I shouldn't...

Right?

Sorry, Booker, just super
focused on this pigeon thing.

(laughs)
why wait, you know?

I'm gonna go get that
permanent tattoo right now.

Unless there's a reason
I shouldn't.

Are we really gonna
let him get a cami tat?

Are you guys really gonna
let me get a cami tat?

You know she's gonna
break up with me!

You know we know?

Of course, I know you know.

I had Alice
tell you a fake secret,

so I could see
if I could trust you guys.

- Wait, you lied to us?
- No, no, no. It was more like a test,

- and you passed!
- Yes!

I think we got
an a in friendship.

- Why would you test us?
- Okay...

Alright, you guys, look.
I, um...

I have a secret I've
been keeping from you.

I think it's time
I finally tell you what it is.

(whooshing)

(echoing):
Really, Booker?

After hearing that, I don't
think we can be friends...

(whooshing)

So... What's the secret?

I, um...

I forgot to shower
this morning!

(laughs) woo, it feels good
to get that off my chest!

Hey, guys, let's go
to the lock-in!

Hm... I don't know.

Something smells fishy,

and I'm gonna find out
what it is.

It's Booker.

He just told us
he didn't shower.

[♪ ♪]

[♪ ♪]

(sighs) I can't believe they
kicked me out of the salon!

Alice:
My hair is jacked.

(sighs) your hair's not jacked.

You right, it's jacked.

Why'd you wreck the salon?

Well (sighs), I didn't mean to,
but I had a good reason.

And you're in charge of me?
Oh, I've gotta hear this.

How do I explain this
to a 10-year-old?

Okay.

Once upon a time,
there was a beautiful Princess,

and she overheard
two gossiping toads

say that her father was
secretly dating a witch.

Just say
"grown folks' business."

But what I really wanna know is

who's gonna fix my hair?!
With all this metal,

I think I'm startin'
to pick up Wi-Fi.

(laughs) go get your combs.
I'll do it.

Victor:
I feel the same.

I'm glad we met.

I have never been happier.

(whispers):
He is dating someone.

No. Don't worry about my wife.

She's fine with it.

And mama knows?

Yep. We're splitting
everything 50-50.

And they're getting a divorce?!

I gotta find that home
wrecker and stop her from

wrecking our home!

- Ready, auntie rae!
- Sorry, sweetheart.

Your hair's gonna have to wait.

I gotta go back to the salon
and get some information.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

You can't go back
there, remember?

Sir Leo said they never want to
see your face in there again.

(laughs)

Then, they won't. (Laughs)

(maniacal laughter)

Hey, Ivy. I, uh, brought some
of that licorice you like.

Oh, that is so sweet.

You are the best.

He's the worst.

He's keeping
a secret from us.

Meh. What can we do?

Can't make someone tell you
something they don't want to.

Watch me.

Who wants to play
truth-or-dare?

I'll go first.
Booker!

- Truth or dare?
- Me?

I, um...

Dare.

Oh... So close.

Oh, it is on!

Well, Tasha, be honest.

What do you think?

Oh, really? Well, yours
don't look much better.

Whoa. Did I pay for that?

Auntie rae was supposed
to fix it, but she went out.

Well, you're in luck.
I'm a hair expert.

Then, why did all
of yours leave?

Do you want your hair
fixed or not?

You know, I used to do
your auntie rae's hair.

We would talk and tell stories.

But then, she grew up.
I miss those days.

Hm. My dad did my hair once.

He gave me a hat
and said, "good luck!"

Janice, I cannot work like this.

Her hair is never gonna get dry!

Stop complaining and keep fanning or
we're gonna miss karaoke!

you must mean Eli Whitney.

French accent...
Bonjour! Bonjour!

I am fleurette planchette

No. Uh-uh. We are not
taking any more clients

because some wretched woman
destroyed our hair dryers.

(gasps) wretched?

Wretched? Oh, zat is harsh!

No, I would say zat she is, uh,

misunderstood, you know?

A little clumsy!

Doesn't matter. Our new colorist
didn't even bother to show up.

Well, sacré bleu!

Très désolé that I am late.

I am ze colorist!

I live to color! (Laughs) Color
in my life! If I didn't have it,

it would be,
what would you say?

How would you say
c-c-c... "color-luse"?

Okay! Shoe sniffing's over.

It's my turn again.

Who should I choose?
Hm...

Booker.

Truth or dare?

Dare.

All: Nine!

Ivy, this has gone far enough.

A man can only eat
so much mayonnaise.

Don't ask me how I know.

I have to find out the truth.

- Why?
- Because if he doesn't
tell us, he wins.

So, forcing him to divulge
his deepest, darkest secrets

is all about you?

It is about so much
more than that.

- Really?
- No. I just didn't want to seem petty.

I'm sorry.
I can't be a part of this.

All: Ten!

(whimpering)

(mouth full):
Is it my turn yet?

It's Neil's, but he asked me
to choose for him.

So, Booker...
Truth or dare?

There's not a dare
you could think of

that would make me tell you
the thing that I can't tell you.

Actually, this might.

[♪ ♪]

(quiet chatter)

Booker,
all you have to do

is tell me your secret,
and you don't have to do this.

No. I can't tell you.

Okay. Here I go. (Sighs)

One... Two...

Booker, wait!

You forgot your helmet.

Thanks.

Okay. Now, I'm going.

One...

- Two...
- Booker, wait!

- Your shoe's untied.
- Thanks.

Okay. This is it.

Alright.
One... Two...

Neil:
Booker, wait!

Hey, why'd you stop him?
He was just about to do it.

You know the old saying,

"if you need good advice,
talk to a barracuda"?

- That's not a saying.
- Obviously, it is,

'cause I just said it.

I didn't know
mascots could talk.

He doesn't,

which makes him
a very good listener.

After talking at him,

he made me realize that friends

don't test each other's loyalty.

And if someone has a secret,

we should respect it.

The barracuda's right,
Booker.

I'm sorry I didn't
respect your secret.

Yeah. And I shouldn't have
tested your loyalty.

You and Neil are the best
friends a guy could have.

Thanks, cuda.

(Students shouting)

- (smash)
- Students: Whoa!

I didn't know that
was gonna happen.

How could you? It's not like
you can see the future.

Actually...

I can.

What are you talking about?

I'm psychic.

Hope you like decaf.

Oh, here you go, sir Leo!

Perfect.
So, speaking of women...

Is this hair dye or spackle?

I haven't seen
anything this thick

since Janice brought
soup to the potluck.

It wasn't soup.
It was pudding.

Well, whatever it was,

it did fill that pothole
in my driveway.

Well, in Paris,
we like our dyes

like we like our accents.
(laughs) thick!

Anyway, about zat jezebel

I don't spill the tea

Cinnamon burst.

Should a told me you

So, why are you so
interested in Veronica

and her relationship
with her new boo?

(with accent):
Veronica?

No, no, no! I'm not

You know, I just kind of
want to know, like, uh,

where does she live?

Does she have children?
What she look like?

I think she posted a picture of
her and her man this morning.

Here.

(normal voice): Okay,
that's not the owner of the chill grill.

That's lazlo.

And that's not a real accent.

I'm starting to think that

Don't try to change the subject, okay?

No! Rae...

I'm making you co-owner

Co-owner of the chill grill?

But the chill grill's your baby.

Oh, rae. You're my baby, too.

The chill grill's always
been a family business.

Now, we can run it as a family.

Wow, dad.

I don't even know
what to say. Thank you.

But for real...

What's going on
with you and mom?

And don't say "grown
folks' business," okay?

'Cause I'm grown.

Okay.

Why don't you have a seat,

How do I explain this?

Once upon a time,
there was a king and a queen

who lived in...
Two different kingdoms.

Okay, okay,

but don't forget about
the beautiful Princess.

No one could forget

So, that's how you knew about

Yeah, pretty much.

Hm. Alright, Mr. Psychic,

I'm gonna close the door.

Wow. Just wow.

I'm sorry my vision
ruined the lock-in.

I can't believe cuda forgave me.

It helps it can't talk.

Man, a psychic whose
visions cause problems.

That reminds me
of a horror movie,

- problematic visions.
- Never seen it.

Really, Booker?

After hearing that,
I don't think we can be friends.

I can't believe I was afraid
to tell you guys I was psychic.

Booker, we're your friends.

- You can tell us anything.
- Yeah.

Just don't do it
during the movie.

Hey, where's the remote?

Hm. Ah.

Here it is.

Two in a row.

Wow! Just wow.
