01x17 - How We (Sorta) Got Our First Big Break: Part Two

[bunniefuu]

♪ Let's make this epic... ♪

What up, Bloomies?

We just had a delicious lunch,
got a glam refresh...

[♪ music plays]

And we found out
this private jet

has a k*ller
"Make your own sundae" bar!

We hit that thing hard!

Now, where were we
in our story?

We were at Peg and Principal
Jeffers' wedding.

And big time music
producer Stephanie Bradley

came up to us and said

she wanted to work
with Electric Bloom.

-And we were like...
-"Nah!"

JK. We freaked out, said yes,
then sat by the phone

for three days,
waiting for her to call.

-[sneezes]
-Answer it!

I mean, bless you.

When is she gonna call?

She said she was gonna
call, right?

Like, her call us,
not us call her?

Oh, no. What if she flushed
her phone down the toilet

and then put her hand
down the toilet

to get to her phone,
but then she got sucked in,

and now she's living
in the sewer?

[gasps]

We have to go
save Stephanie Bradley!

Guys... Stephanie Bradley
said she'd call, and she will.

She's a major girl boss.

Also, she's a Virgo like me,

which means she's practical
and detail oriented.

So let's just calm down--

-[phone rings]
-[all scream]

Hello? Electric Bloom
Posey speaking.

How may I help you?

Oh. Hey, Pose. It's me, Lucas.

Oh. I mean, oh!

Hurry up and get off.

Stephanie Bradley
might be calling.

Uh... I was wondering...

Do you want
to go out sometime?

Like on a date?

Okay. Stay on forever.
I hope this never ends.

You take this call off speaker
you're a dead woman.

I'd love to go out with you,
Lucas.

Cool.

How about tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night's perfect.

Great. See you then.

[all shriek in excitement]

-[phone rings]
-[all scream]

-[breathing heavily]
-He must be calling back.

What's the matter?
Couldn't wait till tomorrow?

I never wait for tomorrow.

The music biz happens today.

-Stephanie Bradley?
-[Stephanie] The one and only.

It's time for Electric Bloom
to get into the studio with me

so we can start making
magic together.

How about later
this afternoon?

-[together] Yes!
-Okay, loud.

See you at five.

Electric Bloom
and Stephanie Bradley

are gonna do
big things together.

Hanging up.

[all shriek in excitement]

[phone rings]

-Now who is it?
-Hello?

Remember when
Stephanie Bradley

called and invited us
to her studio?

[all shriek in excitement]

Eee! Our first
recording session.

OMG. OMG! OMG! Sofia Carson.

-Hi.
-Holy donkey! She's talking to us.

Hi, Sofia Carson.

We're Electric Bloom.

I'm Posey. I'm Jade.

I'm nervous.
I mean, I'm Tulip.

Oh. You guys
all have flower names.

Yes, we do. And when we
play together, it's...

-Electric?
-Yes. Who told you?

We're such big fans.

Can we give you a hug?

Of course.

Bring it in, flower power.

So, tell me,
what you guys doing here?

We're recording
with Stephanie Bradley

'cause Stephanie Bradley
wanted to work with us.

So we're working
with Stephanie Bradley.

Also, something Posey
forgot to mention.

We're working
with Stephanie Bradley.

That's amazing, you guys.
She's a force.

Can I give you guys
some advice?

Yes. Wait. For free?

Look, I can tell you guys
have something...

really special.

Don't ever lose that, okay?

It's the most important thing.

Wow.

You are so wise.

And... your hair,
it's so shiny.

Don't be weird.

You guys, I gotta run.

But what about one more hug
before I go?

Now that I know your name

before the rest
of the world does.

[all chuckle] Aw!

It was so nice to meet you,
Electric Bloom.

I can't wait
to hear your music.

-[all] Bye.
-Bye, guys.

[muted shrieks]

Yep. Our first time
in a legit recording studio,

and we met a legit pop star,
and we legit freaked out.

I can't stop saying legit.

I think I had
too much ice cream.

Dairy gives me the legits.

Oh, girl. We know.

Anyway, we finally met
with Stephanie Bradley,

and you'll never guess
who her assistant was.

-[all] Blayson?
-Blayson.

Blayson's my new assistant.

I stole him away
from The Ultimate Voice.

I was impressed at how
he could do so much work

for so little pay.

Aw. Thanks, Ms. Bradley.
I feel seen.

Ooh, I love that jacket.

Right? It's perfect for hot
or cold or both or neither.

Or me. Can I have it?

No.

Whoa.

-Is this all for us?
-Yes, except the basket.

It was a gift
from a well-known pop star.

I can't say who it is,

but her name rhymes
with Maylor Drift.

I know
who she's talking about!

Okay, ladies,
let's lay down a track.

Play me something
you're excited about.

Let's have some fun.

It's Taylor Swift.
I couldn't hold it in anymore.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

That song is truly epic.

I would not change
a single thing.

But here's what
I'm thinking instead.

Instead?

Girls, you have it all. Okay?

The vibe, the chemistry,
the raw musical talent.

It's all there.

There is literally
nothing missing.

But here's what
I think is missing.

You need this.

[♪ techno music playing]

♪ Panic joy panic joy ♪

♪ Come on dance now,

So, do we love it
or do we love it?

Are those
the only two choices?

Trust me, there's a whole
Euro-Techno moment

happening right now

with a wide open lane
for a girl group.

And it could be you.

Could it?

I mean, techno is fun,

but it might be a little
oontz-oontz for us.

I get it. I'll tell you what.
Sleep on it.

Go. Think.

Come to your own decision.

Maybe you'll want it.

They're gonna want it.

Blayson.

I need you in here when I'm making
comments under my breath.

[exhales hard]

They're gonna want it.

So, this is where I'm taking
Posey in two hours.

I want everything
to go perfectly.

That's what
this dry run is for.

Let's play out some scenarios.

Okay. Say Posey...

[fork clatters]

...drops her fork.

-What's your move?
-Easy.

Tell her she dropped her fork.

Oh, boy!

You might need
more than two hours.

I'm sorry. I'm anxious.

I just gotta get this...

Nervous energy out.

Plus, it's helping me
dry my nail polish.

You're gonna be fine.

Yeah. There's nothing
to worry about.

But what if the conversation's
awkward?

What if I have nothing
interesting to say?

What if he makes me laugh
and I snort?

What if she makes me laugh
and I giggle?

What if I get something
stuck in my teeth?

What if she gets something
stuck in her teeth?

Okay, maybe there are
some things to worry about.

But, girl, you're going
on a date with Lucas Jasper.

Dude, you're going on a date
with Posey Penelope Parker.

So, how are you feeling?

[both] I'm ready.

[phone rings]

It's Stephanie Bradley.

-Hello?
-I need Electric Bloom in the studio now.

-Like now now.
-Uh...

Okay. We'll be right there.
Should we--

-She already hung up.
-Oh.

[phone rings]

Hey, Pose.

Hey... Uh...

I know this is last minute,
but can we reschedule?

I'm so sorry.

Stephanie Bradley needs us.

Oh. Yeah, no worries.

I know how important
this is to you.

Thanks, Lucas.
You're the best.

Text you later.

[sighs]

What do you do when a girl
reschedules on you?

You have dinner
with The Vince.

Amelie.

Two orders
of the steak frites, please.

And a quiche Lorraine.

Lucas, what do you want?

I wonder what Stephanie
needs us for.

What if she wants to take us
on her private jet?

If I ever get to go on
a private jet, I'll be all...

-Oh. Okay.
-Okay.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

-Oh. Oh. Oh.
-Ohh!

Can't believe
we're getting a jet.

-We're probably not getting a jet.
-Yeah.

Ooh.
Maybe she found my jacket.

I haven't seen it since our
first recording session.

Wait, Blayson,
is that my jacket?

How could it be your jacket
if I'm wearing it?

If you... If you stole it?

Girls, I want your input

on a decision
I've already made for you.

Your first single.

Uh, is it Epic?

Oh, it's epic all right.

Some of your best work yet,
Stephie.

-No.
-Stephanie Bradley.

Better.

So, girls. Thoughts?

[hesitantly] I... liked it.

[loudly] The bass was so loud

I can feel my ears in my teeth
and my teeth in my ears.

And?

Um, look, I think what we're
trying to say is,

we really appreciate
your vision.

But that version of Epic

doesn't feel like
an Electric Bloom song. Or...

a song.

Would you excuse us
for a second?

Okay, I know
this song isn't us,

but Stephanie Bradley has
produced 20 platinum records.

Platinum! I think
that's better than gold.

Like, not at the Olympics,
but everywhere else.

I don't know.
It just doesn't feel right.

I mean, Stephanie Bradley
is a huge deal.

But also, that song
gave my nose a headache.

I'm really torn. Just like
the inside of my nose.

So, ladies, answer now.

-Maybe we should...
-We love it!

...talk about this.
No, she already said it.

Great. So we're all on board
with the new sound.

This is good. I'm excited.

There are no problems.

Just one problem.

My ears are happy,
but my eyes are sad.

But don't worry.
I have a vision.

Blayson, bring in the team.

Okay.
That's definitely my jacket.

-Hand it over.
-Personal space.

Personal space, please!

I'm sorry.
Who are these people

and why are they here?

The question is not
"who are they?"

The question is, who are you

about to become
because of they? Mmm.

Girl, what?

Welcome to your
new band characters.

Think Spice Girls.

Each of you, a character.

Nay, a world unto her own.

There's a girl skating around
her cul-de-sac in Detroit,

dying for someone
to look up to.

And now she has you,
skater girl!

Say your catchphrase.

-Extreme!
-Okay, loud.

And in Des Moines,

an angsty teen in black
lipstick sees herself in you.

Goth girl.

What do you say to that?

Whatever!

And the girl who every girl
in the world

wants to be best friends with,

'cause she smiles
through it all...

Nicey-Nice Girl. Catchphrase.

Super-duper.

Oh, I've done it again.

Now my eyes
are as happy as my ears.

[exclaims excitedly]

Your look matches your music.

Speaking of matches,
do you have any?

I'd like to light
these clothes on fire.

You're right.
These clothes are fire! Ha-ha.

And they must stay on.

Your fans want to see
themselves in you

and you never know
when they're watching.

From this moment on,
you must eat, sleep

and breathe these characters.

Are we onboard?

-[all] Uh...
-Absolutely, Stephanie Bradley.

Posey, please.
We're working together now.

Call me Stephanie Bradley.

Stephanie Bradley
is a world famous producer.

Stephanie Bradley
is a world famous producer.

-What you doing?
-Silencing the voice in my head screaming,

"You look like a rainbow
threw up on you."

Guys, Stephanie Bradley has launched
some of our favorite bands.

She knows what she's doing.

Let's just try to embrace
our new personas.

Whatever.

That your catchphrase or
you saying that for real?

Does it even matter?

All right, let's go show
the school who we are now.

Ollie! Skater stuff!

Hi, Mr. B!

Hope you're having
a bubble-tastic day.

I don't like whatever this is.

[fake laughter]

Ugh!

Tulip, check it out.

I learned how to make
balloon animals.

-You want a unicorn?
-Yay!

I mean, whatever.

Please make sure
it goes to a good home.

I mean, who cares?

What's up, bruh?

Me and my wheels
need a large triple shot

with one pump
of every flavor you have.

Even the gnarly ones.

I'm just gonna give you
a hot chocolate.

Can I get a drink sleeve?

You know what? Forget it.
I'm extreme!

Ow.

I officially hate this.

I just got asked to perform

at a five-year-old's birthday
party, and I said yes!

If it makes you
feel any better,

I just walked into Glee Club and yelled,
"Stop! Stop feeling the glee!"

Who am I?

Okay, guys. I admit,
this is challenging

and my mouth hurts
from saying, "Boi!"

We have to trust
that Stephanie Bradley

has a process and stay
in character all the time.

So you're going on your date
with Lucas like that?

Oh...

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

That was the plan.
To go like this.

Oh. Well, in that case,
Lucas is one lucky boi!

Uh-oh! Here comes trouble.

I'm shreddin'. [fake laughter]

What's up, Ripper?

Get me a chai latte
and make it extra milky.

My tummy's gonna harsh,
but I didn't choose this life.

This life chose me.

Hey, Lucas. I'm so glad
we finally got to do this.

You look really nice.

Thank you.

So do you. But what's with
the skateboard and a "ripper"?

It just doesn't feel like you.

I know,
but it's good for the band.

And don't worry.
When I'm with you,

I'll be regular old Posey.

Good, 'cause I really
like that Posey.

Yo! Did someone say chug?

Skater Girl never turns
down a dare!

No one said...

Burp! [laughs]

I don't do it. I say it.
I'm so unpredictable.

Tell your friends.

So what's good here?

Um...

Well, The Vince had the steak
frites on our practice date.

-What?
-What?

Ooh, I love an endive salad.

I mean...

I'mma endive off this chair.

Yeah, yeah.

Whoa, whoa!

[chuckles]

Extreme!

Hey, Pose. Maybe we should
do this another night

when you're feeling more yourself?

What? No, no.
Let's just start all over.

I'll go out and come back in.

-[glass shatters]
-[gasps]

We got kicked out
because of Skater Girl.

And both Skater Girl and Posey

are not allowed in that
restaurant ever again.

Jade and I go there
a lot by ourselves.

Anyway, Stephanie Bradley
was making our lives tricky.

But I had a plan to get our band
back to its original vision.

And I was focused on
what was happening to us.

And by us.
I mean, me and my jacket.

Ugh. Is it hot in here?

Oh. I guess it is.

Someone must have turned up
the thermostat

to a comfortable 89 degrees.

But if you're warm,
by all means,

please take off
that stylish jacket, Blayson.

You'll never get it back.
It's glued to my body. Ha-ha!

Stephanie Bradley's
gonna be here any minute.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Yes. Maybe if we play another
original song for her,

we can convince her
to let us have our sound back.

I just don't want
to mess things up.

Well,
I don't want to mess us up.

Oh, Bad Bunny's abs.

It's hotter than Bad Bunny
in here.

Blayson, air.

All right.
Are we ready to make magic?

Absolutely.

But before that,

we'd like to talk to you
about our sound.

-I know you had some ideas--
-And they were great.

Agreed.

But we have another song
we're really proud of

we'd love to share with you.

♪ You and me ♪

♪ You and I ♪

♪ I got your back
and you got mine ♪

♪ We're in this forever ♪

♪ Wherever we go,
we go together ♪

Wow, that song is so
Electric Bloom.

Thank you. We think so too.

Which is a huge problem.

That sound doesn't match
your new image.

But it was really good.

You want to hear
something good?

This morning I got a text
from Dua Lipa.

She needs an opener
for her spring tour.

And I suggested GirlySquad!

-Why didn't you suggest us?
-I did.

Electric Bloom is officially
changing its name

to GirlySquad!

But Electric Bloom
is who we are.

No, you're GirlySquad!

Um, can you give us a minute?

I'll do you one better.
Let's push this magic to tomorrow.

I just got off the wait list
for Lukewarm yoga.

It's hot yoga, taught by a guy
named Luke who is not hot.

This isn't working.

She's changing everything
about us that makes us us.

But every band is dying
to work with her.

Yeah, but at what cost?
If this is who she want--

Jade,
this is a huge opportunity.

-We can't just walk away now.
-Well, I can.

Guys, come on.
We can figure this out.

I love our band, but without
our friendship, there is no band.

We're Electric Bloom.

Are we?

The next morning,
we're meeting with Stephanie Bradley.

But Jade wasn't picking up her phone
or answering her texts.

We assumed she needed some
time to blow off some steam.

They were right.
Ya girl was steamin'.

Okay, she'll be here.

She knows how important
this is for us.

Who's ready to record
their first single?

Could you give us like five more minutes.
We're waiting on Jade.

I had a feeling
this might happen,

but Destiny waits for no one.

Destiny, get in here.

Finna bop in the hiz-ouch!

What?

Allow me. I speak Internet.

Hey, girl-queen, you ride?

-Ya canceled.
-Oh, sh**t!

Um, who is this person?

Destiny is a super influencer
with a huge following.

Drip cap on the ice rizz,
clock it!

-Huh?
-Drip. Cap.

On the ice rizz. Clock it.

Destiny is the new
third member of your band.

Nicey-Nice Girl is out.

Destiny, get in the booth
and lay it down. Okay?

Slap, clap and track it.

Did she just replace Jade?

Nobody replaces Jade.

[clears throat] Destiny,
can you give us a moment?

Bet. I gotta waggle out
on the fling flong.

Do you guys validate parking?

Posey, what's wrong?

What's wrong
is that I looked up to you.

I thought you were
gonna help us,

but instead
you just tried to help you.

You don't care
about who we are

or what we do
or what we sound like.

And we are done
changing for you.

I'm sorry.
Do you know who I am?

Yes. But more importantly,
we know who we are.

We're Electric Bloom.

Yeah. So hear us
with your ears

and see us with your eyes.
We're done here.

We're taking back our name,
our sound and our look.

[gasps]

How?

Also, fierce.

Let's go, Tules.

We've said everything
there is to say.

I have something to say,
Stephanie Bradley.

I'm not gonna let you
change me and my friends--

Jade, it's cool.
We came to our senses.

We already told her we're not
working with her anymore.

-You did?
-Yeah. It was awesome.

And you were right.

We should've stayed true
to who we are.

And I'm so sorry
I didn't realize it sooner.

It's all good.

You realized it when
it mattered the most.

We're Electric Bloom.
Now and forever.

Um, can you do this mushy stuff
somewhere not in my studio?

Yes, we can,
Stephanie Bradley.

We'll be getting
the last word.

-Get out.
-Last word.

Thankfully,
we ended up pretty okay

without Stephanie Bradley.

Yeah. We did.

Someone even got
to go on another date with...

[sing-song voice]
...Lucas Jasper.

Lucas, this looks beautiful.

I know last time
you weren't quite yourself.

So I thought we could do
something a little more us.

And, I have a surprise.

Since when do you play guitar?

I've been taking some lessons.

I know how much
music means to you.

And you mean a lot to me,

so I wanted to give it a try.

[strums]

Oh, my gosh,
is this "The One"?

It's my favorite song.

When I said Electric Bloom's
my favorite band, I meant it.

[misses a chord]

Clearly not playing
as well as you.

Here, let me help you.

♪ You'll always only ever be ♪

♪ The one, the one,
the one for me ♪

♪ You'll always only ever be ♪

♪ The one, the one,
the one for me ♪

And then we sang together.

It was the perfect night.

[both] Aw!

What a great day.

You finally had your date
with Lucas Jasper,

and we all walked away

from the biggest music
producer in the industry.

Yeah, we did.
And we'd do it again.

Because wherever we go...

[together] ...we go together.

You know what we should do?

Record that song as us.

Yes, the real us.

That's my favorite us!

Sofia Carson
just reposted our video!

[shrieks in excitement]

Our likes are exploding.

Is this really happening?

It is. And I have a feeling
it's just the beginning.
