- My grandma always says to choose your friends wisely,

because they are a reflection of you.

But what happens if your friends change?

Does that mean that you have to change too?

(all): We all know frogs go...

la-de-da-de-da! They don't mmm, mmm, ah!

(laughing)

- Alright, my camp Eagle Creek lovelies,

that is the last song of the summer.

(children): Aww! - Now go pretend that you missed your parents, okay?

(laughing) Bye!

- Bye!

I just don't want it to end.

- I know! I never dreamt

we'd have so much fun together this summer.

- Same!

But now that you have Holly to hang out with,

you're probably going to forget all about me.

- What? No! Okay, let's make plans right now.

Um, what if we binge-watch season two

of that show you've been talking about all summer?

- The Earth Wind Chronicles!

Yes! I know you're going to love it.

You know, I wouldn't blame you.

You and Holly were very close,

and we all know she thinks I'm weird.

- You are weird, in a good way. And Holly will learn that.

Um, wait, Holly and I were very close.

You meant "are" right?

- Well, you haven't talked in a long time.

A lot can change in two months.

- I haven't changed. - You're friends with me.

(Holly): Hey, Amy! (laughing)

- Oh my gosh, look.

Has she always looked so glamorous?

I guess that's what a summer in Nashville does.

- Alright.

(indistinct chattering)

- Oh!

Oh, I missed you so much. Here, these are for you.

- Oh, I missed you too!

- Oh, I see Savannah hasn't changed.

(indistinct chattering)

- Thank you. - Oh, and that's not all!

I also have the world's biggest secret!

- Holly! Are you spy?

- Is that a joke?

You know what, never mind, it's okay. Um,

you should probably be sitting down for this.

- I'm going to meet Justin Lewis?

- He's the teen star, Amy!

He hated all the songs that we came up with, but he loved me,

so he's moving to Collinsville for the school year

to experience real teen life and to write an album!

- I... am going to meet Justin Lewis?

- Okay, but there's one thing that you should know.

Justin is a super private person,

so no one can know that he's here.

You can't tell a single soul. Justin arrives tomorrow,

and I need your help planning the perfect

"Welcome to small town teen life" bonfire.

- Oh no. Um...

Oh, I, um...

I already have a thing.

- What?! Really? With who?

- Never mind. It's not important.

- Good! Because I need you here with me, Ames.

After everything that went south in Nashville,

this is my chance.

I need everything to go perfect with Justin.

The stakes could not be higher.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

- Wonderful job. Um, can we please play the video game now

and move over to the couch area? - Afraid not, Heather.

Dance tryouts are tomorrow, and we're not read.

- Not even close. - Look, maybe after we nail

these split jumps, we can play a little.

(sighing)

What are you doing? - Ew!

- Checking to see if there are any signs of your alien abduction.

When did you two get so into dance?

- I've been dancing for years, but this summer,

I fell in love. Dance camp was magical.

- She's right. And if we get past tryouts tomorrow,

then we get to dance all the time.

- Okay, but it's not like it's gonna get you anywhere.

I mean, colleges offer more scholarships for esports than dance.

So you might as well put down your leg warmers

and pick up this video game.

- Wish we could, Heather,

but if we don't get a few more reps in tonight,

we'll get the axe before callbacks.

- Hey, why don't you do tryouts with us?

- Yeah, I don't know anything about dance, so...

- Come on! It'd be so much fun if we could all dance together.

- Or I could get two people who aren't body-snatched to play the game with me.

But go ahead. No, you do your little dance thing.

I'll be here... ignored by my best friends.

That's cool, whatever.

- Alright, then.

(both): Five, six, seven, eight.

- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

(laughing)

- Amy Abassi, as I live and breathe.

- That is quite an outfit.

- I'm just getting ready for our marathon.

I didn't think we'd start until later,

but there's no such thing as too much Earth Wind Chronicles.

- I, um... Actually came by to give you this.

It's sort of like a little yearbook of our summer together.

- It's beautiful!

I feel so silly for ever worrying that you'd forget me.

- I'm really glad to hear you say that.

Because... I actually have some bad news.

I can't do the marathon tonight.

M-My grandma. Yeah, she's sick,

and my parents have to work, and so it's on me to help her.

- That's totally okay! Grandmas are so important.

- Okay, fine. Fine. My grandma's not actually sick.

Can you keep a huge secret?

Okay, you know Justin Lewis? - From This Justin?

- He's coming into town to work with Holly on some songs,

and he's arriving tonight,

and Holly needs me to help out with the welcome party.

It's just really important that it all goes well.

- Amy! That's enormous news! What time should I be there?

- I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, I'm sorry.

I really didn't want you to think that I was ditching you for Holly.

- Well, I'm honoured you confided in me.

But you have to tell me what he smells like.

And if his eyes really sparkle like they do on TV.

- Okay, I promise.

- Woo! (coughing)

- There's too many chilis in the sauce.

- Yeah, for the Collinsville crowd? Definitely.

I cannot believe you're turning the Calico

into a barbecue joint.

- Okay, uh, now that we're done all of this,

can we just move over to the living room area

so we can play a video game? - Sorry, Heather,

we haven't gotten this right yet.

Maybe some brown sugar? - I got some in the barn.

Let me grab it.

- Can't any of your friends play with you?

- They're busy! (phone vibrating)

- Oh! Sounds like one of them now.

(sighing)

- It sure is.

All up in the group chat going on and on

about their stupid dance studio tryouts.

- Even Levi? - Especially Levi.

And where does that leave me?

Playing video games with my dad is where.

- Hmm. No offense taken.

I'm surprised though, because...

the last time he went out to play ball, he really stepped up.

Why would he give his practice time away for dance?

- This is all my fault. I mean, I...

I went away for the summer,

and left the poor guy totally vulnerable.

Maybe I could stop him.

- Uh, uh, that's definitely not what I'm suggesting.

- Okay, but what are my alternatives?

I mean, be abandoned by my best friends forever?

No, thank you!

(light music)

- Hmm. Oh... (coughing)

- Do you think this table cloth is too much?

Ugh, I wish Piper was here! She's so good with this stuff.

I can't believe she's gonna be gone for almost a whole year.

- It's hard to compete with Paris.

- Well, in the name of my music career,

I need this night to be awesome.

And I know, I know, I'm totally overthinking this,

but it's still just so bananas to me that Justin's coming here.

And I don't want to give him any reason to bail before

we even write a single song. - It looks great.

And would he really bail over a table cloth?

- Alright, we're losing the table cloth.

(Holly laughing)

What, you... think I should keep it?

Alright, what's wrong? Your vibes are sad.

- So...

a thing kind of happened at camp over the summer.

I kind of got close to...

Savannah.

- I thought that she was a giant thorn in your side?

- She was, at first. - Okay.

- Then we had a really great time,

and now I'd say we're pretty good friends, and...

I know she spread that rumour about you

and she can be kind of...

- Weird?

- She's a huge Justin Lewis fan,

and I had to cancel on her to come help you,

so I was wondering if maybe,

potentially, possibly she could come?

- I really need this night to be perfect.

Well, she can be kind of... extra.

- She can tone it down when she needs to. Trust me.

- As long as you think that she can keep it a secret,

tell her to be here at seven.

Any friend of yours, Amy, is obviously

gonna be a friend of mine. Invite her!

- Thank you.

(rhythmic music)

(indistinct chattering)

(whispering): Levi! Levi! Levi!

(grumbling)

- Hi, there! Hi, there. You need a number.

- No, that's okay, actually. No, thank you.

- I'm sure you're a big star and you're really going

to stand out, but no number, no tryout.

- Thanks.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm rescuing you from the clutches of this evil cabal.

- Yeah, I don't think you understand how a dance school works.

- I can't let you get sucked into this, okay?

It's gonna change everything!

- Okay! All dancers to the floor, please!

Uh, yep! That means you too, sweatpants.

- Definitely not, no.

- Oh, why? Are you not able to handle a little dancing?

- Ridiculous. Anyone can do this.

- Then please show me. - Gladly.

- Hmm, okay! Wide stance.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Low, low, high, high, pivot, turn, jazz square.

(rhythmic music)

Great. One more time from the top.

Low, low, high, high, pivot, turn, jazz square.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six...

One more time!

Low, low, high, high, pivot, turn, jazz square.

(rhythmic music continues)

Good job, everyone. Take five.

- Alright, guys. Justin should be here any minute, so um,

just remember that this could be make or break

for literally the rest of my life, so keep it together!

- You think I should play the This Justin theme song when he comes in?

- I don't know if Holly would be good with that.

- Okay, does this look okay? - Come on, it'll be funny!

- Mm-mm, no it won't.

- Alright!

- Yeah! - Hey, no, uh-uh! No!

- Oh, come on! Just one photo of Justin even close

to the words "goat jam" and my brand goes through the roof.

- I will put you through a roof!

- I see your point. - No! Put them away!

- Oh, sweetie! Hey, hey! - What?

(vehicle approaching) Okay, it's go-time, everyone,

it's go-time, everyone!

Be cool, okay? Okay? Okay.

Okay. - Alright.

(whispering): Nice try with the jam.

- Thanks.

- Oh... - Oh, that's disappointing.

- What are you wearing? - You said to be mature, right?

- Uh, I also said it was low-key and chill!

- Which was a pretty mixed message,

so I erred on the side of Hollywood.

Don't worry! I'll be chill.

- I'm sorry.

- Oh my gosh! Is that Justin's trailer?

(Holly): Yep. They dropped it off this morning.

- Do you know when he's gonna be here?!

- What's up?!

- Oh my gosh, he's here.

- Okay, okay.

- Holly Parton. Sorry I'm late. I told my driver

I wanted to hop out and enjoy some fresh, country air.

- Welcome to your home away from home!

- Beautiful! And who are these fine people over there?

- Howdy! - Hey!

- Oh, that's my mom and my dad.

- Thank you for your hospitality.

- Of course, of course, we're so excited to have you!

And we'll be inside if you need anything at all.

- And, uh, this is my brother, Robbie.

- I have got some amazing new jams I want you to try.

Oh, shoot, I forgot spoons. I will be right back.

- Uh, this is my boyfriend, Oscar, and my best friend, Amy,

and, um... Savannah!

- At least someone dressed appropriately to meet Justin Lewis!

(goats bleating)

- Uh... You must be starving.

But don't worry, we got all your favourites.

- Well, if there's anything I love, it's my favourites.

(hysterical laughter)

- Oh my gosh!

What? He's even funnier in real life!

(light music)

- 174, 82, 129, 137, and 145!

Congratulations, you're all invited to callbacks.

- Hey, you did it! Now if we make it past callbacks,

then we can really do this together.

- Okay, there's zero percent chance that I am coming back.

Okay, I only did that to prove that stupid teacher wrong.

- You seemed like you were enjoying yourself.

- Heather Hobbie's not a dancer. - Come on,

if you keep an open mind, then who knows? Maybe you'll like it.

- Sweatpants! You have quite the natural talent.

I'm impressed.

- Thank you.

- But for callbacks, you can't dress like you've been

watching TV and eating pork rinds for five days straight, so...

proper dance attire only. Here you go.

- So tell me, what would Justin do around here for fun?

- I write a lot of fan fiction.

- She's kidding, she's kidding! - No, I'm not.

I've written over 50 stories about the Earth Wind Chronicles.

Have you seen it? - You're probably way too busy

to care about a silly show like that.

- But the best thing about me is that I'm a triple threat.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

- Savannah! You've got such a quirky sense of humour!

(horn honking)

- Um... I'm not expecting anyone else.

(girls squealing)

- He's here! He's here! (squealing)

- Justin! (squealing)

- Guess I can't even be a regular guy for just one night.

Excuse me. - I have to go fix this, sorry.

- Over here! (screaming)

Justin! Justin, I love you!

- Savannah... did you tell anyone about Justin?

- No!

Okay, yeah. My mom.

- Savannah! How could you?

- She had to drive me here!

Besides, I can't lie to her about where I'm going!

But she didn't tell anyone else, except...

she had my aunt on Facetime, and my cousins.

- Why couldn't you just say that you were going to Holly's house?

A-And why did you have to wear this extra dress

and say all that weird stuff?

- I'll go.

I'm sorry I ruined everything.

(sighing)

- Hey, honey! Are you gonna come and meet Justin? Oh!

- Please stop looking at me. - No, no, no, wait, wait!

Oh my goodness, you look so cute!

Look at your hair up like that, just like when you were little.

- Nope, that's it. Forget it. I'm taking all of this out.

- No, no, no. Okay, what is this for?

- Ugh, I accidentally went to these dance tryouts

and I made the callbacks. Happy?

- Look. I mean, I am happy if you are happy.

But you don't seem happy.

- Because I don't know if I'm doing this just because

my friends are doing it, or if I actually like it.

- Do you? - Doesn't seem very Heathery.

- Oh, pfft! I mean, people change!

I remember when you used to throw temper tantrums and poop your pants,

and you're hardly every doing that stuff anymore.

- Come on. - Look, it's okay to try new things,

and this just in, your mother,

she used to be quite the dancer.

I could probably show you some... dance moves.

- Mom? Mom. No, no, this is...

This is not making the argument you think it's making.

- Right. Okay.

And look, you know that I am going to support you

no matter what, right?

And I just think it's okay to take a chance.

(light music)

- Hey. Are they gone?

- Justin's probably in there right now booking his flight home.

(sighing)

I cannot believe I screwed that up so quickly!

Do you think I'd be any good at engineering?

- No. No, not really. - Exactly...

(sighing)

- You know what?

- Uh, Amy? What are you doing? Hey, Amy!

- Justin! (banging)

Justin, can you just come out for like, a minute?

(sighing)

I'll apologize.

I'll explain how everything is my fault.

You can't lose this opportunity

just because I wanted to invite Savannah.

- Hey. I know you probably meant no harm,

but I've been burned by jerks before

and can't let it happen again.

- What? No, that's definitely not what happened here.

- Hey! Hey, I found out who spilled the beans!

Turns out it was Justin Lewis himself.

Uh, you posted a picture as soon as you got here

with the location tagged.

- Guess I'm the jerk now. Sorry.

- Uh, we'll just blame it on jet lag.

- So it wasn't Savannah.

- Guess not.

I hope you weren't too hard on her.

Alright, we still have snacks at the campfire. Okay? Come on!

- And jam! - Let's go!

(indistinct chattering)

(indistinct chattering) - Alright, callbacks number 145.

- Alright, callbacks number 145.

(rhythmic music)

- So maybe after the pivot turn ball change, we could do,

like, a whole waacking section. - Yes! Um...

It just, I mean, it kind of looks like your arms are not attached so like, how...

It's just like...

(laughing)

- Can we just talk about the fact that we all actually made it?

I mean, after I saw you dancing,

I thought that I'd get cut instead.

- Me too! Your split jumps were so fire.

I cannot wait to plan these road trips!

- Dance had road trips? Why did you not lead with road trips?

- Well, you didn't want to hear much about it at first.

- Yeah. I mean, I just never thought that dance

would be something that I actually liked.

- It's fine, you just didn't know yet.

- Know what?

- That I...

can throw a four-seam fastball.

So uh, we were just out practicing when I accidentally

played Levi a little chin music. But he's fine, though. Right?

- Uh, y-yeah.

Nothing a little bit of ice can't fix, right?

- Aw. Well, that's great.

I'm glad to hear you're all back out on the diamond.

Practice makes perfect, huh?

(sighing)

- Delivering another photo album?

- I'm sorry I blamed you for everything.

I just wanted everything to be perfect for Holly.

- Of course you did.

I knew I was just a camp friend.

And now that we're back, you're embarrassed of me.

- No! When we're together, our vibe is different.

A bit silly, a bit more carefree, a bit...

- Extra? (laughing)

- Yeah! And I like that me.

You're so comfortable at being and doing exactly what you want.

You don't even care what other people think.

But I guess I was worried about what Holly would think.

But that's not fair to you.

- I like that you too.

- Enough to let her in to do an Earth Wind Chronicles marathon,

for real this time?

(laughing)

- Oh my goodness! That's a time-jumper's cloak.

- And I brought a nebulan steel-smith too.

- And I don't have a costume,

but I'm actually in season two, so...

- Seriously?!

- So can we come in and watch, please?

- Only if you don't mind that I'm going to be totally extra the entire time.

- Oh, it's okay! I will be too!

(laughing)

- Come on in! - Yes!

Okay, so I accidentally saw some spoilers online,

and apparently something major happens...

(sighing happily)

- Guess we don't have to change friends

if we can accept when friends change.
