01x10 - Lay Lay & Sadie's Big Hair Adventure

[singer] ♪ Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump ♪

Good morning, best roomie ever.

I have prepared breakfast.

I call this cereal à la bowl.

Oh, well, what's next,
orange juice à la cup?

[Lay Lay laughs, snaps fingers]

Well, I can't wait to dig into my--

[Lay Lay laughs wheezily]

Frozen cereal?

[laughs]

I'm Lay Lay, and you just got play-played.

Okay, you got me.

I almost ate a mouthful of Ice Krispies.

Well, since you taught me
what a prank was,

I've sorta become the master--[shrieks]

[Sadie laughs]

Oh, don't be a hatie. You just got Sadied!

That's good, but you know
I'm gonna get you back, right?

Sleep with one eye open.

Morning, girls.

Oh, Dad, were you able
to get those tickets

for DJ Robot Head's show tonight
at BoomBox Burger?

As a matter of fact, I spoke to one
of my cool connects in the jingle biz--

Dad, I'm sorry,

but there's nothing cool
about the phrase "jingle biz."

-She gave me two tickets.
-[shrieks]

[both shrieking]

Why are we screaming?

DJ Robot Head is my favorite DJ.

I've been trying to get tickets
for her show for weeks.

Yeah. So you can just call me Cool Dad.

Well, I'm gonna need you to say it
if you want these tickets.

Cool Dad would know
no one uses paper tickets anymore.

Do you want the tickets or not?

Yes, please. I would like them very much.

[laughter]

Marky, are you taking our stuff
and selling it online again?

Run along. Nothing to see here.

Marky, what are you looking for?

I want to achieve greatness.

But to do so, I have to take some risks--

Boy, just get to the part
where you tell us what's on fire.

Let's just say that for a small fee,

I arranged the sale of some scorpions.

Mm-hmm, and let's just say some more,

because I'm already nervous.

But while they sort the money,

I'm keeping the scorpions at the house.

[both] What?

Young man, you better tell me
where those scorpions are.

Would you settle for knowing
where they were?

Sweet James Brown.

He lost the scorpions.

Boom! One cute
k*ller scorpion apprehended.

How many more scorpions
are running around my house?

Now only five.

The problem is practically solving itself.

Marcus Moziah Alexander,

if there are still scorpions
in this house tonight,

you won't be!

Your mother's middle-name angry, son.

Find those scorpions.

Like the way I backed you up?

-Bryson Arthur Alexander.
-What did I do?

It's not about what you did.

It's about what you are going to do.

And you are going to help
find those scorpions.

Trish, you know I don't do well
with creepy-crawly things

ever since I ate that bug
I thought was a chocolate chip!

Well, this is the perfect time

to pretend how brave you can be.

Man! [sighs]

Come on, Moziah.

Let's bravely find some scorpions.

Hey, Lay Lay. What's up?

Shh!

Sadie's in the bathroom.
I'm about to prank her good!

I get it.

The ole rope on a bucket
full of confetti trick.

Oh, this bucket isn't full of confetti.

What's in it, glitter, ping-Pong balls,

scorpions?

Why would I have scorpions?

No reason. Carry on.

I'm about to kick this closet prank
up a notch Lay Lay style.

This bucket is filled with ketchup,
syrup, chocolate sauce.

What? You can't--

Here's what I'm thinking about wearing.

I'm Lay Lay, and you just got play-played!

It's that bad?

Okay, let me just see for myself.

[shrieks]

-[mirror shatters]
-Get out my way.

Ah! I can't even
get a comb through my hair.

What'd you dump on me, cement?

There may have been
a little bit of Dino Glue.

Dino Glue?

Dino Glue?

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome!

That was sarcasm, wasn't it?

Sorry. Still learning my social cues.

This is terrible.

Now I can't go to the concert tonight

because I'll feel ridiculous. Ugh.

Can't we just fix it?

We don't have enough time.

Doing my hair is a -step process
that takes hours.

Dang, girl, are we doing your hair
or long division?

Leave long division out of this.

You know math is my happy place.

I'm sorry, Sadie.
I didn't know hair was off-limits.

You're a Black girl.

It's the first rule they give you
in the handbook.

Nobody gave me a handbook.

I just came out of a phone two weeks ago.

Oh. I hadn't thought about that.

But hair can be a big part
of your identity.

And it can affect the way you feel.

And right now,

I feel like a porcupine.

Okay, we need to find
an emergency hairstylist.

No good hairstylist
is available on short notice.

If they can get a pizza here
in minutes,

we can get a stylist here in minutes.

Okay.

♪ ♪

Well, at least hunting
for your missing scorpions

is giving me the perfect excuse
to wear my favorite Halloween costume,

See, still fits.

Like a glove.

All right, let's find these scorpions.

-[Bryce yelps]

Was that a scorpion?

Nope, just a pretzel.

But you got a nice vertical
for a man your age.

So what are those for again?

Those are sticky traps

specially designed to catch scorpions.

Well, I don't know about scorpions, but…

…they caught me.

Don't worry. I got this.

You got the hair equipment?

You got my money?

Thanks for coming so quickly.

We've got to get this done
before anyone finds out.

Oh, getting things done is my business.

I'm also a cat doula.

[giggles]

I just delivered a litter
in Cleveland Heights.

Totally unrelated,

you want to buy a little baby kitty?

You need all this stuff to do hair?

Yep. I got my hot comb.

I got my hair curler.

That's a waffle maker.

I didn't bring this.

Whoo!

Okay, you scared me on the phone.

Your hair is not that bad.

It's not for me!

And my hair is spectacular!

It's for her.

Oh--[yelps]

Hey.

No. No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Uh-uh. To fix that,
you need a professional.

What are you?

I'm a part-time cat doula
that sometimes does hair.

Please, if we don't fix this in an hour,

I have to miss DJ Robot Head in concert.

Is that what you want for me?

To grow up a sad, lonely woman
who never got to see

her shero spin on the ones and twos?

[mimics record scratching]

Okay, fine.

The last thing this world needs

is another sad and lonely woman.

Oh, thank you, thank you!

-Okay. Okay.
-Ow!

-Ow! Hey!
-All right.

I guess we should start
with the rinse-out.

Okay. I'll just hop in the shower.

Oh, no.

No, no. We got to do that right here.

You need grown-woman fingers
to work out that mess.

I can't wash my hair in the sink.
That's where we wash forks.

Good, because I'm gonna need a fork
to get through that hair.

♪ ♪

[Marky]
Why are we sneaking down so quietly?

Because sometimes bravery is quiet.

Fine. I just don't want
to scare the scorpions.

But they don't have ears.

Well, if you know so much about scorpions,

maybe next time, you can learn
how to keep them in their cage!

[gasps] I think I see one under the bed.

Then get it.

You get it!

You have the net.

Not anymore!

Oh, Father.

Scorpions, I'm coming for you.

Is that a burrito?

Disgusting.
We haven't had burritos in weeks.

We never saw this.

You know, I've never received
waffles as a tip before.

But I'm not mad at it.

It's the least we could do.

You deserve a full continental spread

if you can bring these curls back to life.

Oh, well, luckily, the detangler I used

works miracles.

Oh, it can get out anything:

gum, jelly,

the scent of a long-lost boyfriend
who won't text you back.

The only thing it doesn't
mix well with is Dino Glue.

Oh, it will cause
a nasty chemical reaction.

[dryly] Ha! Ha!

What kind of maniac
would put Dino Glue in her bestie's hair?

Oh, no.

You're the maniac.

Sweet James Brown.

Somebody give me a mirror
so I can see for myself.

Trust me, you don't want a mirror.

[growling] Girl, get me a mirror!

[shrieks]

[mirror shatters]

You need to stop breaking these mirrors.

I look like Sideshow Bob.

[cell phone chimes]

Oh, man.

I just got an alert that DJ Robot Head's
performing her new song tonight.

Sadie, we've got to get you
to that concert.

I know, but we just made things worse.

Yeah, things are worse.

Well, good luck.

Oh, somebody needs help
with a cat birth down by the airport.

Things are looking up.

What do we do, Mom?

The concert's in half an hour.

I can't go to a show looking like
a chemistry experiment gone wrong.

Oh, baby, we can't fix this
before the concert.

But don't worry. Mama's got your back.

-Let's go to my closet.
-Okay.

Not that closet.

Mama's closet.

[both] Whoa!

I'm about to change your life.

You took all these people's hair?

-Sadie, run!
-No. It's okay, it's okay.

No, Lay Lay. These are wigs.

Oh.

I never knew you had
so many wigs and extensions.

Neither does your father.

Now, the great thing about wigs is,

there is no such thing as a bad hair day.

Wigs are used to express
exactly how you feel,

and different hairstyles
can bring out different sides of you.

So you're saying
if I put on one of these wigs,

I'll become someone else?

Yep. You can become anyone.

What's this one?

Not what. Who.

That's Imani.

She knows how to burn down a dance floor.

And this is Keisha.

She gets free samples
at the grocery store,

even when she doesn't want them.

Mom, can we try some of these on?

Absolutely.

Come on. Let's have some fun.

working security
