WOMAN'S VOICE:
Wake up to your inner goddess.

The power of the feminine
is always within you,


demanding you take
control of your narrative


and break the iron
shackles of the patriarchy.


Take it from me.

I'm a witch, a mentor, a healer,

a suburban shamaness, a spirit guide,

and an artist.

And an actress.

JOE: I'm just giving you
fair warning...

I will be telling Megan to
step up her parenting tonight.

- PATRICK: Babe...
- No, I'm not gonna be the quiet husband

on this anymore, okay? I'm not.

Babe, go easy. Her and Mark
are... having tension,

and when you get passionate,
things backfire.

It's like that time in Cabo
when she started

- calling you "Hurricane Joe."
- Who bought light tampons?

And when it's about her kids...

I said, which one of you
bought light tampons?

I did. Good morning, sweetie!

I thought "light"
sounded more comfortable.

Oh, my God. No one uses them.

They literally invented them

to make you hate yourself
for having a normal flow.

How do you not realize this?

Yeesh. Okay, big girl.

I'll get you king-size next time.

I'm so over this man bullshit.

- I'm suffocated by male energy.
- Are you?

Do you know what my existence is
like being the only woman ever?

The toilet seat always up?

My boobs scratched and bleeding

'cause you don't wash my bras right

and it makes the wires poke out?

It's actually abusive.

Sounds to me like
now would be a great time

for you to learn how
to do your own laundry.

How 'bout it?

You're not listening.
Which is also abusive.

I'm trying to say
I'm drowning in maleness.

This is such interesting
information to receive

from the human life we
have raised without thanks

for years.

JOE: Mm. And FYI, you're not
the only woman in the house.

What about Harper?

Dogs aren't women. That's so sexist.

[SCOFFS] Okay, I think
we can calm down with the s...

"Calm down"?! You know who else
was told to calm down?

Rosa Parks, Hillary Clinton,

and Kesha, just to name a few.

I'm sorry my vag*na
is such a problem for you.

I swear, if you don't let me
have a girls' night sleepover...

You can have a sleepover.

You just interrupted my thr*at.

I'm sorry. Finish your thr*at.

Now you don't deserve it.

♪ My girls don't trip,
my girls keep winnin' ♪

♪ My girls just keep on ♪

Shut up! We need to stop
debating and decide our theme,

or we will end up with a fiasco

like last year's Garden of Eden.

Under the Sea has the most
decorating potential.

ERIC: But we can't let Winter
Formal look like a kids' party.

We'll Always Have Paris is
sophisticated and... and classy.

But I think if we do...

What if the slogan was
"Get Eiffel Tower'd"?

[LAUGHTER] Oh, dude, that's sick.

- Can I finish a sentence, please?
- Yeah, obviously.

Do we really want to be
dancing in a fake version of a city

known for snobs and bombings
when we could be doing...

ERIC: I'm just saying, we're
gonna have these memories

for the rest of our lives.

Sorry. Go.

- I...
- But is Under the Sea really the experience

we as leaders want
to give to our school?

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

Is there a word for wanting to k*ll

every man, boy, and male human being?

I don't know. Progressive?

Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.

COOPER: Hey.

- Hey.
- Oh, hey.

Peace to you. Peace to you.

And peace to you.

ARIANNA: You good, D?

"Winter Formal? Love, Malia."

What do you say?

Yes!

- [APPLAUSE]
- NAOMI: Yikes.

Everything's so embarrassing.

I just hate this girls-ask-guys thing.

I just wanna be the dance
version of a pillow princess.

DELILAH: What's a pillow princess?

Like when you're getting f*cked
and you just lay back

and let him do all the work.

'Cause if it was guys-ask-girls,

Cooper obviously would
have asked me by now.

And it's so heteronormative.

Also, why should women bear
the whole burden of courtship?

It was Eric Bass' idea.
He really rammed it through.

I bet he thought he was being feminist.

I hate it when guys think
they're being feminist.

This is my whole point. Men suck.

Like, it's an actual problem.

TEACHER: Three branches
of government in America...

legislative, executive, and judicial.

GIRL ONE: Dude, I heard
Panda Express Girl goes here.

GIRL TWO: Actually? Who the f*ck is it?

I don't know. Avery didn't know either,

but she said she heard
it's someone at La Palma.

But I'm like, how could it
not be that girl at Katella?

The one who f*cked that Mexican dude,

but then he bailed when she
stuck her finger in his butt?

What's "Panda Express Girl"?

Apparently, some high-school
girl randomly had a baby...

TEACHER: Alicia!

The Supreme Court can overturn
unconstitutional laws,

and the Justices are...

At. Panda. Express.

...nominated by the president
and confirmed by the Senate.

Even though we have three branches...

This is so bad. Do we tell her?

No, not without the full tea.

I think I should text
Avery Kampfer right now.

DELILAH: Hey!

- Hey, girl!
- How's it going?

What were you talking about?

- Nothing. Sleepovaaahh.
- Yeah.

Ready to do spells and
cultivate power tonight?

Aww. Your purity. Don't worry.

We won't tamper in anything too dark.

We're just innocent,
barely legal white witches.

Naomi, your mom's here, by the way.

Mnh.

MEGAN: Well, there was
the real hurricane,

and then there was the one we
shared our very relaxing villa

with, which was you, mister.

Girls! Hi. Hi, hi.

I want you to settle something for us.

Oh, honey, I brought your retainer.

So, which one would you rather have...

overbearing parents
who never leave you alone

or parents who err on the side

of staying out of their kids'
private business?

Staying out of our private business?

A-ha! See?

Why would I involve myself
in my son's love life

when he doesn't even want that?

I will never understand those parents

who just want to be
their kids' best friend.

That's not a parent.

JOE: I'm not saying
be Nathan's gal pal.

I'm saying... and believe it or not,

I know a little bit about this...

that he's testing his mother's
support of his sexuality.

Oh, please. You sound like my husband.

Hey. I'm the proof.
I am the living proof.

Hey, girls?

Which of these would you rather have...

parents who are
disapproving of who you are

or parents who accept you
no matter what? Hypothetically.

- I guess love you no matter what.
- Mm!

Look. Okay, okay, Joe.

I hear you. I do. I hear you.

Arianna, your parents, they're
supportive of you, right?

You've never, say, wanted
to get a belly button ring

and your parents told you you could

if you got straight A's,

and then when you did, they backed out?

Mom!

What? Honey. We're all just talking.

Well, safety is one thing.
Identity is another.

MEGAN: Safety. Right.
I'm learning so much tonight.

And, Patrick, these frozés
are really so delicious.

- PATRICK: Thank you.
- Do tell...

when Nathan painted his nails

and you weren't too thrilled about it,

what type of concern
was that? Also safety?

PATRICK: You enjoying this, girls?

MEGAN: You know, your
strategy here is just...

I cannot embrace things that...

are against how we think.

Well, isn't that... us?

What? No. No! Don't be silly.

You're Patrick and Joe. [CHUCKLES]

No, what I'm saying is...

ARIANNA: "We coven high.

@TheYorbaLindaWitch."

- Bitch.
- Bitch.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[PHONE UNLOCKS]

You guys.

You guys!

[BOTH GROAN]

The Yorba Linda Witch followed me.

Other witches, too.

My influence!

- Whoa.
- How many?

Like .

Wow.

sh*t.

This is like a sign.

The witch community
wants this coven to happen.

We sent it into the world,
and it came back times three.

I don't know if this proves that.

And I think I started my period
last night, so k*ll me.

Ugh! Same.

Wait. Same.

No! Are we synced?

Okay. That feels like a sign.

This is so witchy.

We have to do a spell, like, now.

What if we did a love spell
for you and Cooper?

Oh, my God! Yes!

I mean, not that I need one,
but just to be super safe.

That's a great idea.

Maybe Dominique the Yorba Linda Witch

can do it with us and teach us.

You guys.

We're a f*ckin' coven.

[ALL CHANTING "COOPER"]

[DOMINIQUE CHANTING "COOPER"
ON CELLPHONE
]

Holy sh*t. I felt that.

DOMINQUE: That was really potent work.

I have such an intuition
about this young coven.


You're connected somehow.

So now we just wait for the wax?

We'll let that transfigure a
few hours and then check back.


[SIGHS] You three...

You really should take

one of my voice and movement classes.

[GASPS]

- Ohh! Oh, sh*t!
- Oh, f*ck!

What's happening? What's going on?

What's going on?

[GIRLS SCREAMING]

[BLOWING]

Um, so that pretty much

feels like the worst
sign I can think of.

Did everyone come into the spell

with good and pure intentions?

So now what? Does Cooper
f*cking hate me now?!

Like, why the f*ck did this happen?!

Is any ill will being harbored

or secrets being kept?

It's my fault!

I didn't come into it
with pure intentions.

- I'm in love with Cooper.
- [GASPS] What?!

We'll call you back.

I'm so sorry.
I feel so, so, so, so bad.

I asked you like five
times if you had feelings

for Cooper, and you said no!

I know! I know!
I wasn't trying to be shady.

I just wanted you to be happy.
I just care about you so much.

And I'm a horrible f*cking person.

- Please don't hate me.
- No, I could never hate you.

Just the whole reason
I asked you about Cooper

is I didn't want to stop
you if you liked him.

Because I care about you.

- I really want you to date him.
- No, I want you to.

I could never, ever
when you feel like this.

Plus, you, like,
laid out the groundwork.

What we have here is way too important

to let a boy get in the way.

Especially one who
doesn't shave his neck hairs.

[FINGERS SNAPPING]

Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

Can we promise to be
honest from here on out?

No matter what? Even the bad stuff.

We just tell each other?

What?

In the spirit of full honesty...

we do have tea.

A rumor did come to us
concerning someone

people call "Panda Express Girl."

I guess people are operating
under the belief

that a high-school girl
gave birth in a Panda Express.

Wait. No. How? Did somebody...

I don't know, but don't freak out,

because according to Avery Kampfer,

everyone thinks it's this girl
Kennedy from Katella.

So there's no reason
to even be upset at all.

We just thought, as sisters...

f*ck my life! Everything is over.

- No, I...
- If kids at school know,

and then my parents
are gonna know, and then...

No one knows. No one's gonna find out.

And even if your parents
did find out, they're so cool.

No, I know! It's just...

It's just I don't want
everything to change.

They'd feel so bad and be so worried.

And then, also, why didn't
I f*cking tell them before?

And then they'll also just
see me as, like, that way,

and never not see me as that way.

I'm sorry. I'm feeling just,
like... Like, this is not good.

Like... Like, we have to do
something about this now.

Like, this just...
this just can't happen!

- This can't get out!
- Can I say something? Can I say something?

I, um...

I actually do think the magic is real.

Like, I just do,
but even if you don't...

- No, I do.
- No, I know.

I just think, like,
call it magic or prayer

or manifesting or whatever.

Just, like, we need to put it out there

to protect this secret.

Yes. Definitely. Please.
How do we do that?

[BAG CRINKLING]

And in terms of where
to, like, do the spell?

♪ You're the crème de la crème ♪

♪ And the more that you do,

Not to be the most cheesin'
bitch on the planet,

but just...

I love you both so hard
and long and deep right now.

I know we're all, like, emotional

being back here or whatever,

but I never thought
I'd want female friends again

after fourth grade when
Lauren Silbey and Zoe Tassano

told everyone I had AIDS
'cause my dads were gay.

Ohh.

You know what we can't
do but would be so epic?


- Hmm?
- If we went to the dance,

just us three, as a coven, no boys.

- I was literally just thinking that!
- We totally could!

Wait. Actually?

- Actually!
- Definitely!

Oh, my God!

I'm so in love with you two right now!

Aah! I know!

Wow. f*ck boys.

No. We would just be, like...

dating the same guy.

I don't know. Is that, like, so Mormon?

Definitely.

Or we could go on three-way dates,

which kinda sounds
really fun, honestly.

I know. It's like dating, but,
like, with your best friend.

That's so funny. And amazing.
