01x04 - Sleepover Showdown

[bunniefuu]

[alarm ringing]

[guitar music playing]

JUAN CARLOS: Violet!

Stop ignoring your alarm!

Alarms are for people without super speed.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Ahh!

Violet, hurry! I really need to--

Maya!

[zapping]

- Violet?
- Maya!

Ahh! You-- Don't do that!

You were the one who was
screaming over the phone!

I got worried.

Those were screams of excitement!

- We got invited to a sleepover--
- Okay...

- at Evita Acosta's house!
- [both screaming]

Those squeals are a few decibels
too loud for my hallway.

As the hall monitor,
it's my responsibility

to report you to Principal Rodriguez.

- No one likes a snitch, Luis.
- Your mother does.

♪ ♪

Hey!

[bell rings]

[theme music plays]

[grunting]

[camera clicks]

I still can't believe it!

Maya, we didn't get invited
to just any sleepover.

This is Evita Acosta's sleepover!

I mean, she makes robotics look easy,

and you know that's a lot of math.

Who else is going?

Hannah Nguyen.

She's skipping club practice
this weekend to go.

No ba*ls in the hall.

[bell rings]

MAYA: And Gracie Gilroy.

Be prepared for a lot
of "Pirates of Penzance."

[holding high note]

That's Evita's main crew!

I mean, they're smart, they're popular,

and they're nice to people.

That's like a triple threat!

How did we snag an invite?

Well, the app that controls
Evita's robot was glitching,

so I helped her fix it.

After that, she invited us...

to the sleepover.

She knows we're a package deal.

So, you two are participating
in a childhood bonding ritual?

Try to enjoy it.

Statistically speaking,

only 1% of friendships
last until 12th grade.

Statistically speaking,


end up with a locker
full of shaving cream.

And I would 100% write you up for that.

Whatevs, Luis.

Violet and I will always be friends.

And after this sleepover,
we'll also be friends

with Evita and her crew!

Nothing can stop us.

You're not going to a sleepover.

What?! Why?!

Mi amor, I never went to sleepovers
when I was growing up.

Was that because you were like
a mini principal back then

- and no one invited you?
- [snickers]

Uh, no, Violet.

Latinos don't let their kids
go to sleepovers.

I mean, if you want,

you can sleep over at Abuela's
or at Cousin Santi's house.

First of all, Abuela and Cousin Santi
live in Mexico.

And second, Evita Acosta is Latina,

and she's the one hosting the sleepover.

When I was 13, you let me
sleep over at Gabe's house.

- Okay, that was different.
- Yes!

As a feminist ally,

I have to point out
that's a double standard.

Dad?

I am also a feminist ally.

That means I'm in alliance
with whatever your mother decides.

Thank you!

But, mi amor, the kids do have a point.

Okay, maybe the tradition
is a little outdated--

Thanks, Mom! You're the best!

[grunting]

[intense music playing]

Miradora, you won't get away this time.

Ugh, you say that every time.

You got lucky last time.

I'm feeling pretty lucky now.

- [zapping]
- [groaning]

[laughs]

[groaning]

[zaps]

Why are you lying in a puddle?

That's very gross and unsanitary.

What are you even doing here?

You know you're still in training.

Ah, I see. Classic deflection tactic.

It's okay. Tell me what happened.

Did somebody hurt the big,
brave Black Scorpion?

My pain is of no consequence.

All that matters is the agony
Miradora will inflict

on innocent ones if she puts
the Spike Reader into use.

Miradora's a professional thief.

She stole the Spike Reader,

a device that can hack into bank accounts

and steal millions.

This app scans the city's internet usage.

Spike Reader needs a lot
of computing power to work.

As soon as Miradora uses it...

I'll find her.

This could take hours, possibly days.

Justice has no timetable.

O-kay.

Now seems like a good time to mention

I can't make training tomorrow.

I'm going to sleep over at Evita Acosta's!

So, you're saying I get
tomorrow night free?

- An entire night without you.
- Don't sound too excited.

And just so you know,
your antisocial behavior is

why you don't have a girlfriend.

I don't need a girlfriend.

Justice is my constant companion.

That sounds way sadder than you realize.

You're gonna die alone.

[gasps] Oh, cool!

Don't pick up garbage.

Says the guy I found in a puddle.

[gasps] I'll make a necklace out of it.

It's a wonder you don't have pink eye.

Hey, guys. I'm so excited.
It's good to see you, Maya.

Hi, Violet. I'm so glad Maya asked
to bring you along.

Come on! Let's go.

Yeah, I'm so excited Maya
brought me along, too.

[upbeat music plays]

Maya, was I only invited because
you asked Evita if I could come?

Sounds like I'm a pity invite.

Hey, Maya. Can you take a look at my app?

- It's glitching again.
- Yeah, sure.

Violet, trust me,
you're not a pity invite.

Then why do I feel like one?

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat Latin music playing]

MAYA: Here's the problem.

You missed a semicolon in the subroutine.

You fixed it!

BOTH: STEM Sisters!

Do you all like Bennie's Ice Cream?
I might order some.

- I love Bennie's!
- Me, too.

Let's get mint chip!

- ALL: Yes!
- Yeah, for reals.

I already ordered us some Bennie's.

- Wow, you did?
- You did?

I did! I better go meet the delivery guy.

[zaps]

Who wants ice cream?

[gasps] You got my favorite! Mint chip!

No way! That's my favorite, too!

- Yeah! Yes!
- Sprinkles!

- I am so excited!
- The wait was really short.

[all chattering]

I forgot Violet's not here.

Did we make a mistake?

It's only one night.

Yeah, but so much can
go wrong in one night.

She could watch a scary movie
and have another night terror.

Yeah, she could discover
she's allergic to bees.

Or she could stick
a fork into a light socket

and then it's lights out forever!

Violet is 13, not three.

- She knows where forks go now.
- Stop.

[both chuckling]

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Yeah? Okay, okay.

Tiago! How is she? What was she doing?

Is she safe?
Why didn't we sign her up for karate?

She doesn't know how to defend herself!

- Um--
- Well, I went by the Acosta house

and dropped off the toothbrush
like you said.

Happy to report... she's totally fine.

Fine.

Fine is good.

- TIAGO: Yeah.
- NINA: I feel fine.

- Okay.
- I'm good.

Okay, good.

All right.

Honey... didn't you say
you wanted burgers?

I didn't.

But now that you mention it,
I always want burgers.

Good! Get your things.

There's no way they're getting burgers.

[upbeat music playing]

This. Was. Heaven.
Violet, you're brilliant.

Now, who wants to listen
to the new TSB song

and make our own dance video?

- HANNAH: I love TSB!
- EVITA: I know all the dance moves!

ALL: ♪ DM means I love you ♪

♪ DM means I need you ♪

♪ DM means I'll always be true ♪

- We don't really like TSB--
- I love TSB!

A-And I know a-all the dance moves, too.

I just need to... use
the bathroom real quick.

- Violet!
- Oh my god.

What is going on with you?

We loathe TSB.

Last week you said it stood
for "Total Snooze Band."

Yeah, but like you said,
that was last week.

This week their music has
really been speakin' to me.

Okay, but you also said
that you like mint chip,

and I know for a fact
that you have a strict

no toothpaste flavors in ice cream rule.

People change, Maya.

Plus, I'm trying to eat more vegetables.

My point is, you don't need
to try so hard to impress everyone.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You don't?

Look, Maya, it seems like you
were cool with me being here

when I was your pity invite.

But now that Evita and everyone

are starting to actually like me,

you're, I don't know, jealous.

What are you talking about?!

- Wait, are, are we in a fight?
- I don't know! Are we?!

EVITA: Violet, what's the hold up?

TSB is waiting!

Just a sec!

Can we talk about this later?

[zaps]

I hope this works.

[music fast-forwarding]

Who's ready to make a dance video?!

- [cheering]
- One problem.

I can't get the angle right.

I should've brought
my tripod and ring light.

Oh, uh, Maya, how 'bout you film us

since you know how to get the best angles?

That's a good idea.

You don't even really like TSB.
Right, Maya?

I guess not.

Maya, when you're ready,
just give us a sign.

[softly]: You don't wanna see my sign.

That purple brat has the verification key.

Miradora.

How'd you find me?

Let's just say... there's an app for that.

It's over, Miradora.

Drop your weapons and give me the device.

I don't think so.

By the way,

Lucky for me,
there's a tracking device on it.

Ooh, not so lucky for her.

Okay, okay! There!
I sent him a winky face.

- He sent me back a barf face!

Whatevs, whatevs.
Okay, Maya, truth or dare?

To avoid Luis Leon, I pick truth.

Okay, then...

do you still sleep
with a stuffed animal?

- Yes.

VIOLET: It's true!

She still sleeps with a stuffed bunny

- named Flopsy!

What? It's part of the game.

Okay, Violet. Truth or dare?

- Truth.
- GRACIE: Ooh, I know a good one.

Have you ever... kissed anybody?

Juicy! I bet Violet has
totally kissed someone.

Uh, yeah... I totally kissed
Dalan Coleman last semester.

[friends freaking out]

Dalan doesn't even know you exist.

So, Violet didn't kiss Dalan?

[chuckles] Funny, Maya!

Don't listen to her, she's lying.

The only liar here is you.
You've been lying all night.

- Maya--
- And yes, we are in a fight!

I wish I never invited you here!

[tense music playing]

Maya!

What was that?

You totally embarrassed
me in front of everyone!

I embarrassed you?

"She has a bunny named Flopsy."
"Maya, you hold the camera."

So?

What's wrong with that?

You do call your stuffy Flopsy
and you do get the best angles!

Why is it okay for you
to tell the truth about me,

but when it's about you, it's okay to lie?

I know you've been using
your mask to impress everyone.

And what's wrong with that? They like me.

No... they like Ultra Violet.

[Nina sighs]

- What are we doing here?
- Shh.

I thought we were getting burgers.

Oh, no, we're checking on Violet.

The burgers were only
an excuse to throw Tiago off.

Now... let's take
a closer look at the house.

Okay, something about this feels off,

but I'm too hungry
to think straight right now.

Let's go.

- TIAGO: What are you doing?!
- BOTH: Ahh!

[melancholy music playing]

You're right.

Evita and her friends do like
Ultra Violet more than me.

The only thing that's great
about me is Ultra Violet...

and I can't tell anybody that I'm her.

Ultra Violet... isn't
the best thing about you.

I liked you from the first
day we met in second grade.

You were regular ol' Violet...
who ate her pizza crust first.

Well... you're the only one.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be your pity invite.

I invited you because I thought

we would have a great time together.

And I hardly know these girls.

I was, I don't know,
nervous to go by myself.

BOTH: Ahh!

[Tiago laughing]

Tiago! ¿Qué estás haciendo aquí?

Oh, what, what am I doing here?
What are you two doing here?

- Shh!
- You're lucky I caught you

instead of Evita Acosta's parents.

Or worse, Violet! Stop acting crazy!

Okay, I can't help it!
She's my little girl!

I mean, you're practically all grown up
and the time flew by.

Now... Now, I see that
happening to Violet,

and--

Okay, I'm not ready to let her go.

Honey, I get it.

I'm not ready to let her go, either.

But I don't want her
mooching off of us when we're 70.

[laughs]

So, it's probably best
if we let her grow up.

You're right.

I was acting pretty ridiculous,

and... I mean, Violet's a good kid,

and this is a safe neighborhood.

- Yeah, okay.
- Super safe.

Nothing bad is gonna happen here.

Nothing bad's gonna happen.

You were nervous?

Wow. I make a terrible wingwoman.

I'm really sorry I acted weird.

It's okay.

Just from now on,

act like your normal-weird self,

instead of this weird-weird self.

I can do that.

So, are we done fighting?

We're done fighting.
