- One time I got this splinter on my foot,

but instead of taking it out, I just crossed my fingers

and hoped that it would go away on its own.

And it did...

...not. It did not.

Instead, it just got infected and super painful,

and I got a trip to the doctor's

and two weeks of antibiotics.

(chuckling)

You see where I'm going with this though, right?

No? No? Okay. Um...

Well, then maybe it's better if you just keep watching.

(phone vibrating)

What?!

(knocking) - Good morning.

- You would not believe what people are saying.

Apparently, Justin left Collinsville

because he's still in love with Amelia Gravenzo.

This is hilarious, isn't it?

(chuckling)

Why aren't you laughing?

- Look, sweetie, you know how Justin's parents,

they've been visiting for a few days?

- Oh yeah, it's been super nice to meet them.

- Hmm. Well, they actually took Justin

back to Los Angeles last night.

- Oh.

Without saying goodbye?

- Justin's parents told us that he's bipolar.

Do you know what that means?

- Yeah. It's a mental disorder

that affects the way that you think and feel.

- That's right. So, they think Justin is having an episode.

And that's why his behaviour has been so off.

- Like, dropping everything and moving to Collinsville

to write music with me.

- Oh, sweetie.

- Do you think any of this was real?

- I think that the music that you created together,

I think that was really special.

- The label thinks that we've been goofing off.

- I know that you think that your music's important,

but you know, the health of people that we care about...

That's just more important. Right?

(distant sheep bleating)

- Oh my gosh, Amy! (gasping)

I lost my songwriting partner,

but she lost her first boyfriend!

Oh, she's gonna be devastated!

She has to hear the news from me.

- Um, you...

- Should probably get dressed first.

- Probably.

- Amy. - Hey. Everything okay? Oh.

- We have so much to be thankful for.

Okay? Like sun, and air, and um...

- Water? - Yes! Yes, water!

- Holls.

I know Justin is back in LA.

- You spoke with him?

- No, I read it online, like everyone else.

- I can't believe you had to find out that way.

- I'm fine. Honestly.

- Amy, people are saying he's back

with his ex-girlfriend.

Okay, whatever you need, I'm here for you.

You want to scream? Okay, let's scream.

You ready? Ready? One, two, three!

(screaming)

Okay, you're not ready for screaming.

But that's okay, that's fine. That's fine.

- I have plans.

I'm gonna measure the voltage generated by maple tress.

Plants generate electricity,

but no one's figured out how to harness it yet,

until this morning.

I have an idea and I'm gonna go test it out.

- Yes, yes, okay.

Reconnecting with nature can be very therapeutic. I'm in.

- This kind of work requires precision and focus.

I can't be distracted. - Oh, okay.

Um...

Well, maybe we can hang out this afternoon?

- I'll have to work day and night

to get ready for the state science fair.

- Uh, Amy.

Just remember,

if you need a friend, I'm...

I'm waiting for your call.

- Okay.

- Bye.

(sighing)

- Blue's sus. (tablet dinging)

- Where? - Electrical.

- I know who the imposter is.

- Okay, I'm calling an emergency meeting.

- No, no, no. Argh. I just got kicked out of the game.

- Dad!

- What?!

- Something is wrong with our game.

- Ugh. Did your screens lock?

- Yes. Has it happened to you?

- Uh, no, because I don't spend

40 plus hours on my screen every week.

- No! You didn't!

- Yes, I did!

I set screen limits, and so did Levi's parents.

- What are we supposed to do now?

- Go outside and play. - It's too hot.

- Well, go jump in the pond. - Too cold.

- I don't know, Goldilocks. Figure it out.

- Okay, fine. I guess we'll just plan our own funerals,

since we're gonna die of boredom!

- R.I.P. us.

- Give me your phone.

Call Claudia. - What are you doing?

- She always has something fun to do.

- No, hang up before she picks up!

- Why are you being so weird?!

(Claudia): Hello? Are you there?

- Sorry, butt dial.

- That was rude.

Okay, are you mad at her or something?

- I'm going home.

- That was even ruder.

- Hanging in there, kiddo?

- Well, I'm fine.

But it's Amy that we should be worried about.

- I remember my first break up.

I locked myself in my room,

I cried my eyes out for days

listening to Fleetwood Mac, Rumours.

- Well, according to this article,

that is a very healthy way of processing.

- Not if you consume your body weight

in chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

- Hmm. - So, what's going on with Amy?

- Well, Amy says that she's fine. With everything.

- But you can tell that she's sad on the inside.

- No. She seems normal. Happy, even.

She doesn't even want to talk about Justin,

which can only mean one thing.

- She's not that into him.

- No.

She's obviously in denial.

- Right. Everyone deals with grief differently.

- Yeah. This article says that too.

What it doesn't tell me is how I can help her.

- Well, maybe she just needs time to process.

(knocking)

- I bet that's Amy.

Aw, I knew she'd need me eventually!

- Bonjour, Hobbies!

(joyful screams)

- Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell anyone

you were coming home early?!

- So I'd get a reaction like this!

- Okay, I really hope that you slept on the plane,

because we have got a lot of work to do.

- Levi's obviously mad at you.

- I have no idea what I did.

- Maybe you didn't laugh at one of his jokes?

- But I think he's hilarious.

- Really?

- He's like, one of the funniest guys I've ever met.

Have you seen his impression of your dad?

- Really?

- Maybe I laughed too hard and he thought

I wasn't being genuine?

- Yeah, that's definitely it.

- Really?

Okay, well, it's gotta be something.

- I know Levi can seem laid-back,

but he can be pretty sensitive.

- Boys are so confusing.

- More like annoying.

Can't you just say what you think, dude?

That's it!

Okay, if we want to know what a boy thinks,

we have to ask a boy.

- That's a good idea.

- So, now Amy's out in the forest

trying to charge her phone with a tree.

- This situation is very similar

to what happened when Henri broke up with my friend Amelie.

- Well, what did you do? - Well, at first nothing,

because the eclairs Amelie was popping out of the oven

were magnifique! But then I realized,

they weren't for me or Amelie, they were for Henri.

She was hoping he'd come back, and when he did,

she'd have fresh eclairs waiting for him

because they were his favourite dessert!

- Oh. She loved him so much.

- And I didn't know what to do,

until my mom told me about this thing

called a cord-cutting ceremony.

- It sounds painful. - In a good way.

Sometimes, when people disappear from your life,

it can be hard, because you have so much to say

and no one to say it to.

- That's exactly what Amy needs.

So, what do we need to prep for this cord-cutting ceremony?

- All we need is a picture of Justin,

some scissors, and a long piece of ribbon.

- And one more hug?

- Okay.

(joyful cheering, giggling)

- Okay, last letter. Make it count.

- C.

- Maybe pick another letter.

(chuckling) - That's not fair.

Just tell me what the phrase is.

- Well, actually, it's a question.

(door opening)

One that's been on my mind for a while now.

- Robbie, I need to know why Levi's ghosting Claudia!

- We are in the middle of something!

- We cannot desert your sister. How long has this been going on?

- Weeks, apparently.

- And he won't say why? - Every time I ask, he clams up.

- Aw. Babe, remember when you'd do that to me?

- Sixth grade. You were wearing a white t-shirt

with yellow daffodils.

- Mm, they were daisies. - Oh, right, daisies.

And a blue cardigan.

- Actually, I think the colour was more like a cornflower--

- Yeah, and I think this story is already too long,

just get to the juicy part. What did she do to you?

- She smiled.

- And then? - I thought I was gonna puke.

- She made you feel sick?

- And then for a year after that, I avoided her.

I'd skip group hangouts,

I would sit as far away from her in class as I could.

- And whenever my name came up in conversation, he was so mean!

- Um, why would you do that?

- Isn't it obvious?

He had a huge crush.

- I didn't want to seem desperate.

What if she didn't like me?

- I did.

I was just playing hard to get.

- Yeah, but there's no way that Levi has a crush on Claudia.

(gasping) - What if she likes him back?!

Ah! They would be the cutest couple.

Could you imagine?

- I most certainly will not.

Oh, no.

- What was that question you wanted to ask me, babe?

- Wanna grab a burger?

- Yes? Yes! A thousand times yes!

(chuckling)

- Ugh, Piper, I told you, Amy's not even home.

- Holly, do you want her to get closure or not?

- Okay, well, what if Amy doesn't want to do

the cord-cutting ceremony?

- There's a famous French proverb,

"L'appétit vient en mangeant."

You only get hungry when you eat.

- Well, why would you be hungry if you were eating?

- I don't know, but it sounds cool, right?

- Piper! (excited cries)

- This makes everything so perfect.

All I've heard all year is Piper this and Piper that.

I know we're gonna be the best of friends.

- I mean, if you say so.

- And Holly!

Are you coming to the movie, by the way?

- Piper! You're back!

- I can't believe I convinced Amy to go see a musical.

By the end of summer,

she'll have all the lyrics to Fun Hill memorized.

- Amy, I, um...

I thought you had your tree experiment to work on.

- My, um...

socket metre broke.

- Your socket metre broke?

- Yeah, you can't measure electrical current without one.

I'm super bummed.

And then Savannah called

and asked if I wanted to watch a movie

and here we are now.

Any more questions?

- I have one.

Why is Holly holding a giant cut-out

of Justin Lewis?

- Um...

The point of a cord-cutting ceremony

is to give you the chance to say goodbye

to the person who left

after you cut the cord.

Both literally and metaphorically.

- Okay.

Who wants to go first?

Ames?

- I'm good.

- You shouldn't bottle up your emotions.

- That's not what I'm doing!

(scoffing) - Of course you are.

You came up with this project to distract yourself

from your feelings. - So did you.

Except you made your project me!

- You shouldn't keep avoiding your problems!

- I'm not! I'm avoiding you! This is all your fault!

- Okay, well, if you hadn't tried to run away to New Mexico,

Justin would still be here!

We worked so hard for so long, and now it's all for nothing!

- You put too much pressure on him.

He was running away from you then,

and that's what he's doing now!

- I have to go.

(birds chirping)

- So, how was Paris?! (laughing)

(video game blipping)

- Oh, I think I figured out how to override

the parental controls on your game.

- You can't have a crush on Claudia! Okay?

You two would be weird all the time,

and you'll blow up our entire friend group.

- Who told you I have a crush on Claudia?

- So it's true? - I didn't say that.

- Well, you didn't not say that. Come on! This is important!

Do you have a crush on Claudia?! - No!

- Then why are you being so weird?

- Because she has a crush on me!

- Ew. Okay, how is that possible?

- Okay, some girls think I'm quite a catch.

- She does think you're very funny.

- I am very funny.

(sighing)

Moderately funny?

Plus, she's always being so nice to me.

And complimenting my shoes.

- Maybe she's just a nice sneaker-head

with a questionable sense of humour.

- Oh, and last week when I walked into class,

I looked at the white board, and there was a big heart

that said "Claudia + Levi" in it.

- How could you not lead with that?

- Look, everything's gonna be fine

as long as she doesn't admit it.

Then I can just play it off like it's nothing,

and everything will be normal. - Nothing is normal.

- What do I do? I don't feel the same way back.

- You have to be honest.

- No, she's gonna be so upset.

You know I don't do well with tears.

- The future of our entire friend group

depends on this, okay?

If we let this get between us

before we even get to high schoool,

we don't stand a chance in September.

(sighing)

You're gonna mess this up, aren't you?

- Big time. So, if it means that much,

maybe you can do it?

- Ugh.

(sighing)

- Robbie?

- Lyla, is that you? - Yeah, I rushed right over.

You said it was important?

- Babe, you make everything so much better.

- Babe! You don't have to say that.

- Yes, I do. And there's more.

You make me so much better.

Look...

I don't need fancy things or a big job to be happy.

All I need is my best friend.

(gasping)

All I need is you.

(Holly crying)

(Lyla): Aw, Robbie, that's so sweet!

- Will you excuse me for a minute?

(sobbing)

What is going on with you? I'm trying to propose.

- I know, and I'm ruining it.

You wanted this to be perfect and your stupid little sister

couldn't keep her emotions in check

and made it all about her.

Amy was right. I'm a ruiner.

I ruin everything.

- Robbie?

Robbie, what's going on?

- Holly planned a romantic afternoon with Oscar.

But he didn't show.

- Ugh. What a jerk.

Is this why you called me over? To help with your sister?

- Yes. Yup. Mm-hmm. - Ah. Don't worry.

I got it from here. - Cool.

- Now Holly, tell Lyla what's going on.

- Ugh. Levi stole my heart.

- How come you didn't mention that last time?

- I thought you'd be embarrassed.

'Cause of your crush on him.

(laughing)

- I don't have a crush on Levi.

- Everyone at school was talking about it.

- Who? I want names!

- Anyhow, whether it was true or not--

- It's not!

- I came into class and someone,

not saying it was you,

had drawn a heart with your and Levi's names.

I knew you wouldn't want people gossiping so...

I changed it to my name instead.

- So, you don't have a crush on Levi?

- No way. That would blow up our friend group.

- Agreed. We need to fix this.

Well, we've seen the damage even fake crushes can do.

So, we have to make sure that real ones never happen.

- Thanks for helping with the proposal redo.

- Yeah, well, I think it's nice that you decided to propose

in front of the whole family.

- Well, this way, no one can interrupt

because everyone will already be here.

(chuckling)

- Yeah, I should probably clean up the open mic area.

It still has all of Justin's stuff.

- Cool.

(sighing)

- Pff...

Hmm.

(chuckling)

"Holly and Amy. BFFs 4 eva."

Is it still true?

- Of course.

I'm sorry I said that you ruined everything.

It was just easier for me to get mad at the person

that is here, than the one who's not.

- Yeah, well, if I'm being honest,

I was kind of mad at you too.

(chuckling) Like, if you never dated Justin,

none of this would have happened.

- I think I was just swept up in Justin mania.

He treated me like I was the most

important person in the world.

- You are to me.

Even though I may not always act that way.

(chuckling)

- 4 eva!

So, what are you gonna do with all this music equipment?

- Um...

Send it back, I guess?

Well, I'm pretty sure that would cost me

way more than it's worth.

- Did I tell you Justin taught me how to play the drums?

- Okay, our friendship is strong.

But today we just had a glimpse of our worst enemy.

Hormones.

- Ugh, don't say that word.

- We have to take this seriously.

So, I've created a contract.

- "I, the undersigned,

agree not to have a crush on my best friends.

If I do not follow the terms of this agreement,

I owe each friend 10,000 dollars."

- Yeah. Just sign on the line.

Problem solved.

(cheering)

- You guys sounded amazing.

You know, I can play the keyboard.

We should definitely jam sometime.

- Um, did we just form a band?!

- I think we just started a band.

- Okay, all we need now is a name.

- Hi everyone, sorry we're late. We had an appointment.

- Great. Now that everyone is here,

we can get to the real purpose of this shin dig, hmm?

- So, we have an announcement.

Your father and I, we were at the doctors.

- Mm-hmm. - And, um...

- We're having a baby! - What?! Oh my gosh!

(cheering)

- That's awesome! - Congratulations!

- Congratulations! - This is the best news ever!

Congratulations! - Congratulations, Mom!

- Wait, can I have everyone's attention again?

Look, as exciting and shocking as that news is,

there is another reason you're all here, okay?

(exhaling)

Lyla, look, I wanted this moment to be perfect.

But I realized it doesn't have to be.

All I need to do is tell you how I feel.

Lyla Harrison...

will you marry me?

- Yes! Yes!

(cheering)

- Aww!

- Woo-hoo!

- I cannot wait to see what happens next.
