01x04 - Dancing in the Dark

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously, on Andi Mack...

Andi: Bex had me watch this
super scary movie last night.


A mother's number one job
is to keep their child safe.

- Shh!
- (screaming)

What did you do?
Wh... What's going on?

I got you a lesson, that's your present.

- No, no.
- Yeah!

I love that you have groupies.

Why did you do this to me?

Do what? What did I do?

I'm not sure she's safe with you.

That is not your decision
to make. I'm her mother!

Andi: She won't even let
me eat a Toaster Tart.


I'm gonna have one right now.

Oh, no. Don't. I ran... out.

This is my dad, isn't it?

Say something.

Is this my dad?

No.

Then who is it?

Nobody.

You don't put nobody
in a Toaster Tart box.

You told me that you took
my dad's picture out,

and then I find
this picture that you hid.

Nobody... is somebody.

Who is it?

- (rips)
- See? Nobody.

Oh, who wants pizza? I do.

That's very dramatic.

But now I know for a fact
that he is somebody.

Because you bring up pizza

every time you don't
wanna answer my questions.

But it's not gonna work this time.

Except, now I'm hungry.

Half plain, half pepperoni?

Extra cheese.

But next time... it's not gonna work.

You won't believe what just happened.

I ran into a glass door!

Again?

A different one. Much more painful.

Then why are you so happy?

Adrenaline and shock.

Which is starting to wear off.

Ow!

That really hurts!

It's sting-y!

He ran into a glass door.

- Oh.
- (groans)

They're all staring at you.

Actually, they're staring at you.

Oh, no.

What is it? Toilet paper?

Toothpaste? Wardrobe malfunction?

Is there a cliff-hanger?

You're clean.

Um... I don't know
if this might be related,

but I might've possibly
mentioned to my mom

about Bex being your mom.

- Cyrus?
- You knew it was a secret!

Look, it was hard enough
for you just to tell us,

and you shouldn't have to go
through that over and over again.

People were gonna find out eventually.

But your mom is the biggest gossip.

She probably told everyone.

She definitely told everyone.

Sent out an email blast
and boom! It's done.

The hard part is over!

The hard part is just beginning.

I'm sorry, Andi.

Boy, is my face half red.

'Cause... 'Cause I ran into the...
Never mind.

Oh, no. Here comes Jonah.

Hey, guys.

What am I supposed to do?
Where am I supposed to go?

Earth, can you please
just open up and swallow me?

He's coming over.

- (sighs) Hi, Jonah.
- Hey.

Your-Your mom thing.

- You heard.
- Yeah.

- That's so awesome.
- It is?

I'm so boring compared to you.

You're so not boring
compared to everyone.

Can... Can I take a selfie with you?

Uh...

Yeah... sure.

You're welcome.

- Celia!
- Lillian.

You're very devoted to this color.

But I guess it's safer to just
stick with what you know.

Get to the point, Lillian.

I see your older daughter is home.

Yes, she is.

Did I say older? I meant only.

I hear that little cutie
with the Harry Potter haircut

is actually her daughter, and not
your late-in-life miracle baby.

I guess congratulations are in order.

Grandma.

(screaming) Watch out!

Oh, dear! How did that happen?

You're so petty!

Oh!

You got a spot on your... everywhere!

Customer.

Handle.

Hey. What brings you here?

- Jonah Beck knows.
- What?

You know, about the thing?

- Us?
- (gasps)

He said... it was awesome!

Oh. Thank you, Jonah Beck.

Oh, so, you're not mad
at me anymore, right?

Well, I'm not mad at you right now.

I'll... take it.

I can't believe you told him.

I didn't. Cyrus told his
mom, so now it's out.

Everyone knows.

Everyone?

As in everyone?

Yeah. In fact, kids at school
who never talked to me

were all like, "Cool!"
and "You're so brave!"

Two of them even gave me
numbers for their shrinks.

It's going straight to voice mail.

- Who are you calling?
- Mom.

We gotta get home. Brittany?

Hi. I have an emergency.

I know I've only been here
a week, but I promise you,

- I'll never ask this...
- Go.

- Really?
- Yes.

Thank you!

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Hey, guys.

Everything okay, Mom?

What's with the luggage?

Uh, we're gettin' away.

Your father seems to think
I'm a menace to society.

Not society, just a -block radius.

What happened?

Well, your mother...
engaged with a neighbor.

I was att*cked. And my garden
hose only reaches so far.

Okay, uh... we should get going.

I'm trusting you.

Thank you.

I don't want to, but your
father's forcing me.

Well, kid... it's just you and me.

We could do... whatever we want.

You got any ideas?

We could have dinner...

in the living room...

while we watch TV!

And each have two desserts!

Okay, yeah, we could do that.

But think bigger.

Scratch the dinner!
We'll just have dessert!

Okay, do you realize what just happened?

Mom and Dad are gone!

I'm in charge!

Andi, don't you get it?
We could have a party!

I don't think this is a good idea.

Look, you're getting older,

and there are some basic life
skills you need to learn.

One of them is giving a party.

Will I get a merit badge?

Yes. As a matter of fact, you are
fulfilling your responsibility

to kids whose parents
are not going out of town.

Ooh, look.

(laughing)

Brittany.

Was this your emergency?

You had to have a party?

Kind of? I can explain.

Don't bother. The whole mom thing?

Crazy. I just heard.

Was that that guy that used to come
over when you were babysitting?

What guy? There was no guy.

Is this her?

- Hi! I'm Brittany.
- Andi.

(sighs) She's precious.

Those glasses over there, they're great.
We just got them in.

Ooh. I love them.

And blacklight paint, obviously.

Uh-huh. Here ya go.

A Ninja costume?

Yeah. Never hurts to have one on hand.

You're gonna need air freshener.

What do you think?

I think it's gonna make a huge mess.

We'll take .

(sighs)

Do I look okay?

You look okay.

- You look amazing!
- So do you!

- (knocking on door)
- Our first guests have arrived.

Door's open.

- Hello.
- Hello, hello.

Very groovy. I approve-y.

We aren't the first ones here, are we?

Oh, we're so lame! Who else is coming?

Everybody who saw my post.

Also, I told my mom.

Do I know you?

I think you would know if you knew me.

What've you done that's so
great that I would know you?

What haven't I done?

I'm going to say... you
haven't eaten a live frog.

Have you?

Yes.

Why would you eat a live frog?

He mouthed off.

You never ate a frog.

Of course not.

You're just making this
conversation very difficult.

I'm just here for the cheese puffs.

But you're staying for the witty banter.

When does that start?

In a minute, over there,
with someone else?

Buffy.

Marty.

Catch you later.

Hey. Who was that kid
you were talkin' to?

Uh... I don't remember his name.

I was too busy one-upping him.

Conversation is not
a competition sport, Buffy.

Maybe not yet, but the night
is young and so am I.

(laughs) I'm getting so good at this!

Hey!

I think people are having fun.

They are!

You are?

Oh. Hi, Amber!

Hi, Andi. Great party.

Thanks. Glad you could make it.

I love my new bracelet.
Jonah tells me you made it.

You're so talented.

I'm sorry, I have to say something.
We don't know each other...

- You're Cyrus, right?
- Yes. I don't know. Why?

My friend thinks you're cute.

She wants to meet you.
I'll introduce you.

Did you smell that?
Something stinks in here.

If only we had air freshener.

Is he here? We'd love to meet him, too.

(cheering)

Why did you do that?

What did I do?

Hey.

Hey.

Feel like some company?

No.

That girl has no boundaries.

What kind of person thinks it's okay

to come out and ask an intensely
personal question like that?

Me.

I do it to you...

all the time.

Are you ever gonna
tell me who my dad is?

Of course.

Oh. Like right now?

Why not? Are you planning
to go back to the party?

Because I'm not.

And I don't really want any pizza.

(door opens)

Cyrus: Andi! Bex!

Cyrus?

Your parents are here.

What?

They just pulled up in the driveway.

Celia: Everybody out!

Update, they're inside the house.

Go! Go!

I hope you got that.

- We did.
- Yes.

That was scary.

I've never seen her that angry.

You know what's scarier?

Neither have I.

We should probably clean up.

Don't worry. Whatever happens,
you're not in trouble.

I'll make it clear that you
were against this party

the whole time.

Except that's not true.

I want people to think it was my party.

Because it was a great one.

Thank you.

It was my pleasure.

Hey, Dad, sorry we
ruined your vacation.

Doesn't matter. Just the
first one in years.

Why'd you come home?

We got a call
from the Neighborhood Watch.

They were very concerned.

They'd never heard anything
resembling the sound of parties

coming from our house before.

Hey, why don't you go to bed,

and I'll help Bex clean up.

It's okay. Go.

Okay.

Sorry, Pops.

I'm just glad somebody had fun.

We are gonna have
that conversation, right?

The one we started outside?

Yes.

Do you promise?

I promise.

Okay. Good night.

(sighs)

What's she talkin' about?

What conversation?

She wants to know who her father is.

She won't stop asking me.

What am I supposed to tell her?

The truth?

I'm just not sure how many more

life-altering blows she can handle.

"Hi, I'm your mom." Followed by...

"Your dad doesn't even know you exist."

He knows.

What's that?

Andi's father.

He knows she exists.

Who told him?

I did.

Next, on Andi Mack...

Andi: Why is it so hard
to stop liking someone


when there's a zero percent

chance he'll ever like you back?

Dude, Iris likes you.

That's great. Who's Iris?

You're going on a double date?

Not a date.

- Cyrus?
- Iris?

(both laugh)

It's a hang.

I think you're in trouble.

Why?

What'd you do?

You are not going to believe this.

Whoa.

Is that her?
