01x08 - b*tch, Bye

[bunniefuu]

Hi, guys. It's finally prom!

We are getting glammed up

and SPANXed up for our big night!

Oh. You can't wear three pairs, Soph.

You won't be able to breathe.

I'm good.

♪ Take me back ♪

♪ Where I was ♪

♪ Your only friend ♪

♪ When I was ♪

♪ Patiently waiting on ♪

I love you so much.

I love you too.

♪ You're perfectly out of place ♪

You are not my friend.

♪ You say if I can't love myself ♪

Then how the hell

♪ Can I try to love you? ♪

- Okay. Time to stop moping around.

- Get out of bed, or you're grounded.

- I'm sorry I've been so horrible.

- There's my girl.

We forgive you.

Now, if we can forgive you,

you can forgive Gia.

High school's almost over.

Enough of this petty bullshit.

Rebuild your friendship,

like I'm rebuilding my credit score.

Sorry.

How'd you know we were in a fight?

Gia texted us.

Said the two of you had a falling out

and warned us she wouldn't be around

for a while.

Yeah, text your BFF.

Mm-hm.

Oh, The Sixth Sense. Love it.

- I knew he was a ghost the whole time.

- What?

Yeah. I mean, the kid sees dead people?

Only he sees Bruce Willis?

- You do the math.

- You just told me he was the ghost.

He didn't know he was a ghost,

and neither did the audience. Except me.

I knew.

Well, I am not as perceptive as you are.

No one is.

- I really need to talk to Gia.

- You do.

I mean, you've never gone a day,

let alone a whole month, without talking.

A month?

Wait. When did Gia text you

that we were in a fight?

- After the party.

- Which party?

When you woke up the next day

looking like death.

That was after Jake W's party.

So you haven't seen Gia here for a month?

Watch where you're going!

That as*h*le!

They know.

d*ck.

I realized, once I do this,

I'm never gonna see you again.

And I cannot leave this earth

without telling you how much I

I gotta find Gia!

Oh my God. Gavin knows Gia's dead?

- Gia?

- Don't tell them anything.

- Just get rid of them.

- Who is this?

Some weirdos are at the door.

There's no use in denying it, Erika.

All your questions about ghosts, then

Gavin talking about dating your friend

who showed up at the cemetery with you,

but you were alone that night.

And only Gavin, a known medium,

can see Gia.

It took us a minute,

but we figured it out.

Gia's dead and a ghost,

and we're gonna find her.

Mm-hm.

Or what's left of her.

You gotta get your friends to back off.

Gia's getting weaker.

- We're running out of time.

- Then she's probably near her body.

Gia won't ascend unless she finishes

her UFB. But what is her UFB?

It's gotta be something personal,

insignificant,

might be considered lame to others.

- It's you.

- Me?

You can communicate with spirits

when you're drunk,

but you shouldn't be able

to see, hear, touch an embodied spirit

unless you're her unfinished business.

Which means we're both a part of it.

Whatever it is.

We're the only people who can see her.

Then why would she break up with me?

To protect you.

- From what?

- From getting hurt, I guess.

She knew your relationship

was destined to be short-lived.

She could've at least

gone to prom with me.

Come on! Prom is the one thing

I wanna do before we graduate.

Prom is going to be

the best night of my life!

Prom! Gia's UFB is prom,

and you have to take her,

which means I was meant to help her,

not the other way around.

- We have to find her.

- I'll send Brad on a wild dove chase.

I've been tracking Erika via Postmates.

She had, like, 15 deliveries to this spot.

All from the convenience store

on Ridgeway, and all ice.

She's either icing the body

or building an igloo.

Raven, I thought you said you tracked

the body here via your six crows.

Just because my name is Raven

doesn't mean I have witchery

over the damn birds, Brad.

But yes. The crows said this is the place.

Gavin pinged Gia's body.

- We're in the wrong woods!

- Oh, sh*t!

Gia's not in the house.

Did you find anything?

Just her phone. I mean,

all of her texts from today are unread.

And yesterday she was texting her mom

explaining everything.

She's saying goodbye.

She's getting her affairs in order.

That explains

the burnt diaries in the sink

and the will written on the back

of a Forever 21 receipt.

I don't know what,

but I gotta do something

to help Gia get to prom so she can ascend.

Okay. Yeah. I'll try to conjure her.

I'm gonna do another loop.

I would like to work in the highest

vibrational guides available to me.

And I'm requesting to communicate

with someone still tethered

to the Earth's plane.

Her name is Gia.

I remember when we met ♪

Oh, it felt so easy then ♪

In a house of clouds we made ♪

Nothing heavy sinking in ♪

Layers unfolding

Scars start showing ♪

There's nowhere to hide it ♪

Waves of emotion

Wild like an ocean ♪

Trying hard to keep it in ♪

I don't know where you are,

but this is not a hint.

It's an order.

It feels like I'm breaking down ♪

Watching my words cut you in two ♪

In two ♪

'Cause you are ♪

The only one who saves me from myself ♪

When everything is caving ♪

Don't want to take it out ♪

Take it out on you ♪

Leave a message.

Make it short and sweet,

or I'll press delete.

Gia, I don't know what to do.

I don't know how to reach you,

or if you're still here.

You're always the one

that tells me what to do.

Please give me a sign.

Please tell me what to do.

Give you all the best of me ♪

So I could find some clarity ♪

You want me to go to prom.

- Yo.

- Hey, man. What's up?

- Nothing.

- What do you mean, "nothing"?

- You gotta go to prom, man.

- Look. I don't know if I'm gonna go.

It feels weird going alone,

but maybe I'll hit up the after-party.

- So go with a friend.

- How many people are on this call?

Archer and I are going together,

and I can barely tolerate him.

- I'm on the call, Sophia.

- I know.

If this is about the hotel room,

you guys can keep the deposit.

No, man. We just want you there.

It won't be the same without you.

Obviously, we're gonna keep your deposit.

Circling back to the friend thing,

maybe you can go with

I gotta go. Bye.

Why are you smiling like that?

Uh, you've never let me

see you get ready before.

Well, I hope it is everything

that you dreamed of.

Yeah, yeah.

It would mean a lot to me

if we could

go to prom together as friends.

I don't want us

to have any future life regrets.

And you don't wanna be the first

prom queen without a date, right?

And that.

Okay. Yeah, sure. Let's Let's do it.

- Wait. Really?

- Yeah.

Wear the black shoes

you wore to your aunt's wedding,

shave twice, and use only 1/8th teaspoon

of that molding paste.

- And no cologne!

- Yeah.

I know I am the last person

you expected to see here,

but I I wanted to apologize

for canceling prom,

and ruining your prom presentation

and your beautiful crochet banner.

- I love your dress, by the way.

- Thanks.

I actually hate midnight blue now.

Half the girls here are wearing it,

thanks to you.

I am sorry for that too.

May I please buy a ticket?

Sorry. We're at capacity.

What about a standby ticket?

Oh. Sure. You can stand by the exit.

Listen, Emma.

I don't even wanna be here, okay?

Going to prom alone

seemed like a nightmare for Helen Who,

but as Erika Vu,

it's gonna be sh*t Town in Hell City.

But I need to go to fricking prom, okay?

It is a matter of life or eternity.

Wow.

That was

extremely confusing and a little sad.

Sorry. I don't have any more tickets.

I do.

You can have my extra ticket.

I decided to go solo since I'm getting

so much sunshine from the ladies.

Why would you wanna help me?

After the video of you

rear-ending my car went viral,

#ErikaVuTriesToKillDevon was trending.

And now Stinky's dead,

and I'm having a resurgence.

- Thanks for trying to k*ll me.

- I wasn't trying to

Thanks.

- It's Erika Vu.

- I can't believe she showed up.

I have to go tell him.

I'm sorry I don't feel good ♪

I'm sorry I'm not so keen on food ♪

But don't tell me about my fate ♪

Don't tell me about my weight ♪

Perfect blue

Blue for you ♪

I'll drink the poison, honey-boo ♪

Perfect blue

Blue like you ♪

A broken toy who plays with you ♪

I should've known Gavin was lying to us.

The crows knew.

- He screwed us.

- So he could screw Gia.

- I'm gonna hex that son of a b*tch.

- No, you're not. He

did it for love. Look, we didn't start

this club to make friends.

This isn't cooking club. We're dark

and disturbed, and all about the work.

But Gavin's our boy.

Come on, Raven.

I know your tiny heart beats occasionally.

Gavin's here, which means Gia may show up.

Let's set up the séance.

- I'll take lead.

- Uhh, hold your Magic 8 ba*ls.

This is my jam.

Okay ♪

Show up to the party, it's guerrilla ♪

I am so, so sorry. I didn't mean

any of the things I said, and I'm

You're looking crazy. Put your earbuds in.

- I don't care.

- Crazy b*tch.

That's right. I'm a crazy b*tch.

I was trying to text you back, but I was

fading away. Until like an hour ago.

- That's when I showed up here.

- Alone.

Which is the bravest thing

that you have ever done.

And now I know that you're gonna be okay.

So I can go.

You're not done yet.

I'm not your only unfinished business.

- But But what about

- Me?

No. It's time to put yourself first

for once. Go be with your weirdo.

Okay.

I got away ♪

Got away from you

Or was it me ♪

Uh, is that you?

Oh, uh, my obsidian?

Yeah. I got it to help channel you,

but when I went back to your house,

I noticed that your prom dress was gone,

so I figured you'd be here.

That's me. That's me.

Got away from you

But when I'm here ♪

But behind these backyards and sunsets ♪

I still find my old cigarettes ♪

If my girl leave me

Then I sleep with her sister ♪

Think about the situation

At family dinner ♪

If they ain't about it

Then I will be the mister ♪

You have to let me get ♪

Woo! Haha!

Haha, yeah! Woo!

- Oh, sorry. I'll leave.

- No, it's fine.

Everyone's dancing.

Up until a month ago,

I never had any expectations for prom.

But now that I see

how much it means to everyone,

I totally get it.

And it's beautiful.

- Is it?

- Yeah.

But it doesn't have a theme.

It's like the first prom in history

to not have one.

Most of our decorations

were trashed at prom assembly.

I mean, how are you supposed

to have a lasting memory of this night

without a night to remember?

What kind of legacy is this?

It's like it didn't even exist.

The only thing people are gonna remember

is who won prom queen.

Tell me it's not too late

to add a name to the ballot.

Oh, um, sorry.

The votes have already been counted.

Alyssa's about to announce the winners.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Hi. Hi, hello. Um

It's time to announce

the Prom King and Queen.

But can can we keep it down

to a Billie Eilish whisper?

Please? Thank you.

The Parkway High Prom King is

Devon Evan Kahler.

Yeah!

- Yeah! Y'all love me now, right?

- Please

The Parkway High Prom Queen is

uh, to nobody's surprise,

Riley Bhatia.

Please don't yell.

Please don't yell.

- Yeah, Riley!

- Knew that was coming.

Take the crown.

Wait!

Come on.

Hey, knock it off! Let her speak!

I know

you think you know me,

maybe as Helen Who,

or maybe as that b*tch

who tried to cancel prom.

But all I need you to know about me

is that my best friend Gia recently died.

No. No, what are you doing?

- Oh my God, I hear Gia.

- The crystals are working.

Oh my God.

My first paranormal interaction!

I did sleep with my cousin,

and I do not regret it.

But this is not about me.

This is about Gia, who you didn't even

notice was gone, but how could you?

You didn't even notice her

when she was here.

Which makes you very, very lucky,

because you are not going to have to miss

having the most amazing human being

by your side.

So, while you guys go on

living your life not missing Gia,

I am going to miss

every single thing about her.

I'm gonna miss

how she would sing so loud in the car

that people would stare at stoplights.

And her impromptu dances

down the tampon aisles at CVS.

And how she would secretly turn on a light

after we watched a scary movie.

But not because she was afraid,

but because she knew I was.

I I thought that maybe being loved

by thousands would fill my soul,

but it is nowhere near as good

as having one incredible best friend

like Gia.

And being hated by thousands was

nowhere near as painful as losing her.

I know you already voted for Prom Queen,

but I was wondering if you would

reconsider a posthumous revote

for Gia.

I won fair and square!

But I think Gia would make

a wonderful dead Prom Queen.

Gia! Gia!

Gia! Gia

I accept this crown on Gia's behalf.

All right, everybody out

on the dance floor.

Let's give it up for Gia!

Gia

Guys, it's Gia.

You guys, look. It's her.

Hey, you.

Hey.

I I'm really sorry about Gia.

She sounds awesome.

I really wish I'd I'd known her.

You know, I guess you're a a GAF too.

I learned from the best.

Mm.

Is Is it just me,

or does it feel like maybe

I never got to meet the real Erika Vu?

Well, you didn't. I used to be dead.

Uh

Sorry, uh, story for another lifetime.

Anyway, this is me. I am her.

Hi, you.

Hi.

Going to the after-party?

No, I'm probably just gonna head home.

Well, uh, I'll see you.

Okay. Bye.

Okay. I'll go.

Lemon yellow afternoon ♪

Gold azaleas in the front lawn ♪

But who, who have I lived for? ♪

Yeah, who ♪

Who have I lived for? ♪

Pale blue mirror in the pool ♪

You're courageous but you're not sure ♪

And who, who have I lived for? ♪

Yeah, who ♪

Who have I lived for ♪

Gia would've loved this party.

I wish that she could see me

living my best life.

Oh, she can.

And, if you look hard enough,

you can see her too.

You know, through a cloud,

or an animal, or

A sconce?

Cheers.

So in third grade,

Gia and I went on a foreign exchange trip.

- Third grade?

- In third grade. You wouldn't imagine.

- You got another package.

- Thanks.

Well, I'm off to dinner. You coming?

- In a minute. I'll meet you there.

- Okay.

Oh.

I see you, b*tch.
