Previously on the Chicken Sisters.

I won't run with the obvious chemistry

between you and Sergio.

She came here to help me.

No. Mae was fired from Sparkling.

There are a lot of secrets about me

that I just don't want out there.

Gus's daughters have
problems living in the present.

Amanda was stuck in the past.

No way!

I used to wear this when
I was pregnant with you.

Ugh.

While her sister Mae was always
focused on the future.

This is the last season, Mae.

Mom, look at the moon.

Amanda liked to remember.

It looks just like it did

on the first night of my honeymoon

with your daddy in Siesta Key.

Hold on. I got a photo
of that moon somewhere.

Look at that.

And Mae, she liked to plan.

Look at this!
When we're in Venice,

we can go on a moonlight gondola ride.

- Isn't that exciting?
- Wow.

Amanda had unintentionally turned her home

into a museum of happy memories.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
It's my engagement bouquet.

While Mae's home was a blank canvas

so she could paint
her picture perfect future.

But all that planning had been leading

to this moment.

Mae Moore.
Will you marry me?

Yes! Yes!!!

Oh!

- I love you.
- I love you too, babe.

Mae was so focused on her future.

Let's FaceTime my family,
then we'll FaceTime yours.

Then I can finally meet them.

Oh, I can't.

They're in Europe.

That she never realized one day the future

becomes the present.

And you've got to reckon with your past.

Someone can pick it up tomorrow.

And would that someone
be your daughter, Mae?

I thought I'd never see the day.

Good for you, Gus.

That's right, good for me.

Oh, and you thought
you'd never see the day.

Well, Jarvis, maybe you should
get your eyeballs examined.

Because I never doubted for
a second that she'd be back.

Mm.

Can you believe Mae Moore
is back in Merinac.

Oh, someone better check
the temperature in hell.

Bet the devil himself needs a cardigan.

Well, now she's come home to help her mama

so you two can go suck a lemon

and move this hunk of junk.

Oh my word.

I can't believe it.

Well, believe it.

My daughter may be famous,
but she loves her mama enough

to come home when I need her.

I meant that.

What?

God, I was sleeping.

You can't just barge in here.
I am a grown woman now.

Oh, really?

Because grown women don't
deface their mother's property.

- Oh, you mean the sign?
- Mmhmm.

Yeah. No one's gonna care
about that except Amanda.

Unless... you feel bad about it.

Do you feel bad about it
because of Amanda?

She deserved it.

Trust me.

Well, either way, you made
it look uglier than sin.

Now get up and fix it.

Fine, fine.

Oh, how did you get in here, anyway?

Well, wouldn't you love to know?

Brush your teeth.

I'm just gonna borrow this Frank Sr.

Hope you don't mind.

What are you doing here so early, Mama?

Good morning, little Frank.

I was just going through some old things.

And look what I found.

Remember this.

Your daddy always had it over his desk.

The gentleman's guide to business.

Of course.

Never extend a sweaty palm.

That's a good one.

You know, I thought you should have this.

Your daddy would want that.

Look at this one.

Pour your clients the drinks,
not yourself.

Now you're already pouring the drinks.

You're halfway there.

You just got to switch directions is all.

Oh, here's a good one.
Dress to impress.

Now, I'm impressed with
how comfortable you look,

but I'm not sure that's what they meant.

Keep your word.

Don't unduly criticize.

Family first.

I see so much of him in you.

I really do.

See you at work, hon.

We need to talk about last night.

What got into you?

I raised you to be a good girl.

Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry.

You better be!

I've been racking my brain
how to punish you!

Since your main hobby is reading,

I'm... I've come up short.

Can you at least put that thing
away while I'm talking to you?

Sorry. I just got carried away.

I... I found this and...
look how cute.

You and dad look so young.

Stop trying to distract me
from your punishment.

Oh, my word.

Look at us.
Oh, we're just babies.

Do you think you favor him or me?

I think it's me.

But you got your daddy's smile.

Oh, senior prom.
Oh, lord can't--

Somebody should have said
something about my eyebrows.

What were you thinking?!

You were this close to being arrested!

Do you think any college
is going to take a kid

with half-hearted extracurriculars
and an arrest record?

So it's my fault?

It doesn't have anything
to do with the fact

that I'm stuck in a town

where the second coolest person is my mom.

Thank you.

Oh, that wasn't a compliment.

Okay, look, I know this summer
isn't our dream scenario,

but we are here, and we
need to make the most of it.

And you need consequences.

That's what my parenting book says.

So I'm taking away your phone.

No, no, Mom, please.
Anything else.

Anything else, please.

My phone is the only connection
I have to the real world.

No, no, no.
This is the real world.

Consider this detox.

Because clearly you are
addicted to your phone.

Okay.

You know what?
I lied.

Gordo is actually the second coolest.

You're like 12th!

Morning, sunshine.

You look nice.

Dressing for success.

What's that?

Frankie found this.

Summer we were 17.
Remember?

Skipping school to go
to the swimming hole.

Those were the days.

Remember my board shorts?

I remember no shorts.

I remember that itsy-bitsy teeny weenie...

Yeah, I know where you're going with this.

Now, what did that cute
little chicken ever do to you?

I got carried away last night

after Amanda told Sabrina about--

Care to finish that sentence?

Nope.

Yeah, it looks bad, doesn't it?
Like real, real bad.

Almost like it was painted
by a vengeful drunk person.

Come on, let's go fix your sign.

Aunt Mae painted over your sign.

Geez, she did more than that.

I mean, what was going on
with her fine motor skills?

That thing looks like junk.

I don't know.

What don't you know, Frankie?

If it were me, I'd be fit to be tied.

That sign was the last part
of me at Mimi's,

and Mae just destroyed it
in the blink of an eye.

Like it meant nothing to her.

I hear you, mom, but don't you
think you're reading into this?

Aunt Mae is just fixing up
Mimi's for the show.

It's what she does on Sparkling.

It's her brand.

I'm sure it wasn't personal.

Part of me just wants to get 'em back.

I know it's ugly.

I shouldn't think stuff like that.

Darling, think it.

Hell, don't just think it, let's do it.

You and me.

Was this what you dreamt of

in your time at architecture school?

Every high rise I designed back in Chicago

was just leading to this moment.

So what's the big Mae strategy?

I know you have one, so give me
that three-point plan.

You do know me.

Objective one, obviously,

is to make this the best
episode of Kitchen Clash yet.

That's all.

Step two is that I want to use
this episode

to show my range,
make audiences like me enough

to set me up for my own show.

There it is.

Then step three.

I really want to have
more say on my future show

than I did on Sparkling.

I want to have more creative control.

I love me a Mae Moore plan.
So what's step four?

Head back to New York.

What about you?

I have missed everything.

Start from the beginning.
How did you meet Patrick?

Oh, remember when I came
to visit you in New York

and you ditched me.

I ditched you?

Mae, I am almost at my hotel.

Not to be cheesy, but I was looking into

one of those "Sex and the City" tours.

Are you game?

Kenneth, I'm so sorry.
I totally forgot to call you.

I booked a job on Broadway.

That's amazing!

It is amazing.
But I'm slammed all week.

Oh, maybe I can catch you next time.

Okay. So sorry. Bye.

Oh, yeah. Mae, had definitely ditched him.

I'll have a Cosmo like Carrie Bradshaw.

But he couldn't
leave New York without living

his early aughts "Sex in The City" dreams.

Even if he had to do it alone.

Fast.

Yeah, they're pre-made for the tourists.

Oh, I'll take the check, too.

Ah, no need.

The guy over there says he's got it.

That is so sweet.

Okay, so what
I'm hearing is--

Don't.

I introduced you to your husband?

Too soon.

Too soon. Kenneth, please.

We were children,

and now our skincare routines
involve retinol.

Just admit it.
You ditched me.

What if I told you that
I had a really good reason?

Then I'd love to hear it.

Do you remember when I told
you that I danced on Broadway?

Of course, the show that closed
before it opened.

You never got to actually do it.

Right.

Um, okay. This is my
deepest, darkest secret.

Mae, is it worse than when
Ms. Akins found our note

and read it to the whole class

detailing your crush on teenage Simba?

Remember when she said
lusting after a cartoon lion

goes against God?

Yeah. It's worse.

I danced on Broadway, but not on a stage.

I worked at a Donkey's
restaurant in Times Square.

I was a waitress.

It was degrading and humiliating.

And they made us wear
these tiny outfits and...

on people's birthdays,

I had to do this thing called
the B'donka-donk dance.

Why are you laughing at my trauma?

Because your trauma is crazy.

Why didn't you just tell me back then?

Because I thought that it would
change the way that you saw me.

That you would think
I was a failure.

I would never think that.

I just wanted to see my friend.

And what did you think,

that I would never find out about the lie.

Well, I guess I just
didn't think about it.

I have a habit of that.

Hilarious, I love it.

Mae won't know what hit her.

Oh. What's, uh, going on?

Nothing.

Just a little prank on your
aunt and the Mimi's crew.

Mom, what do you always say?

Do unto others, even
when you don't want to.

Mmhmm. And is pranking
your mother and sister

something to do unto others?

No.

Mm.

We can't do this.
We gotta play fair.

Oh, why you got to go
and ruin a good time.

Frankie's right, y'all.
We're Frannie's people.

We don't act like that.

Mmhmm.

I'm proud of you, baby.

Keeping me honest.

Such a good kid.

You guys are lucky.

Excuse me.

Oh, Frankie's such a doll.
We did good.

Yeah, but...

is pranking Mimi's really that wrong?

I mean, it is just a joke, right?

It doesn't feel like a joke.

Well, it's not mean-spirited
like painting over your sign.

That's true.

Yeah. A prank is fun.
What Mae did was--

--downright nasty.

Yeah.

Yo!

Yo.

I'm sorry I got you in trouble.

I conned my mom with nostalgia,

so I didn't end up getting in trouble.

Oh, so you're not mad at me?

Well, not about that.

What do you mad at me for, then?

Oh, nothing.

You just kind of completely
decimated my confidence

for my NYU audition.

Oh.

Man, I hate to break it to you,
but if you can't take a note,

you're gonna hate being an actor.

I can take criticism.

What I can't take is a snotty attitude.

Just saying.
Competition is stiff.

So I heard.

Okay, if you want,

I can help you with your audition.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the least I can do.

And I've been told I have
a snotty attitude,

but I did do a summer at Stagedoor.

Mm.

All right fine, since you're
so desperate to help.

So desperate.

Hey. Come here.

About your sign?

Oh, it's not my sign.
Not anymore.

Well, that was unfortunate,

but let's just get one thing straight.

It wasn't my doing.

Okay?

I don't suppose I could use your bathroom.

I'm about to burst.

Well, don't pee on the seat.

And that right there is the closest thing

you'll ever get to an apology
from Gus Moore.

Oh, oh, oh!!!

I'm sorry.

Your mom let you back inside?

Oh. Uh... restroom.

I think penance for the sign, you know.

Yeah, it was a great sign.

Right.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Anyway, um, I should go, so.

- Certainly. Sure.
- Excuse me.

- I'm sorry.
- Okay.

No. Go ahead. Go.

I'm sorry.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

This is why I come to Mimi's.

Best chicken in town or at the counter?

Well, this right here is my table.

Food always comes out hot and fresh.

Look at this
Mac and Cheese.

Or as I call it, oozy gold.

The best way to wash down
a meal this fine...

Mimi's famous sweet tea.

Oh, gross!

Rodney, what's wrong?

The sweet tea...
is not sweet.

Ooof!

Ugh!

Mm. This isn't the tea
I brewed last night.

What?

Hold up.

This was sabotage.

You did this, didn't you?

Did what?

No one else was in the
kitchen except you and me.

And I know I didn't switch that tea.

Relax. Just a little prank.

Can't y'all take a joke?

Yeah. Ruin your mom's lunch rush.

Oh, so funny.

I thought so.

It's actually not funny.

Agree to disagree.

It's actually petty.

You're petty.

Come on.

I didn't think you were like that.

Uh, funny, I didn't think
about you at all.

I didn't think about you, at all.

Dang! It sounded cool.

I didn't think about you at all.

Boom.

Oh!!!

I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?

Dot, I'm so sorry.

Oh! Oh, I'm seeing stars!
It's all gone dark.

I'm calling that lawyer on the billboard.

Oh, no, no. You don't
need to call a lawyer.

Let me check you out.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh!!!

As far as I can see,
you look perfect to me.

Listen, why don't
I just walk you home,

and then if you feel unsteady,

I'll take you to the hospital myself.

Maybe you could just,
you know, stay at home with me

for a while.

You know, make sure I don't
have a concussion.

I'm pretty sure
I've still got

some of that banana pudding in the icebox.

Sounds like an afternoon to me.

Excellent.

I'm so sorry.

You owe me... big.

And give that girl an inch,
and then this happens.

I can't believe your sister
did this to us.

Teach me to go soft.

I can't believe she had it in her.

Listen, not to silver-lining
this, but it'll make great TV.

I mean, this could actually
be good for us.

Not for our bottom line.

What do you mean?

I'm in the red, Mae.

I had some, uh,
unforeseen expenses come up.

What do you mean, "unforeseen expenses"?

Mimi's is nearly underwater as it is.

And this right here, this could drown us.

Here it is, the last day of the month,

and payments are due and--

I can loan you some money, Mama.

I don't need your charity, Mae.

I need to win this competition?

We'll win this competition,
I promise.

I'm gonna take care of things.

And that is exactly what she did.

Are you sure this is all right?

Yeah. You know,
I spoke to Frannie's,

and they said they just
had too much chicken,

so I should just go ahead
and buy up all the rest.

So... is this everything?

Everything.
Every chicken I have.

Well, thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You know, I'm so glad you're back.

I watched your show.

Fun. It is always so good to meet a fan.

Yeah.

That's nice.

Amex okay?

Yeah.

Welcome to Frannie's where
friends are family, all right.

All right.

- Pastor MacGregor.
- Yeah.

Sweet tea is always sweetest
from you, Mrs. Hillier.

I bet you say that to Gus, too, huh?

Uh. No, ma'am.

No, she, uh... she scares me.

Ha! Me too.

He was flirting with you.

Shawna, he's a man of the cloth.

He's still a man.

Not everything is a romance novel, Shawna.

Would it kill you to read something else?

I'm going to lend you my copy
of The Secret Life of Bees.

Well, look at him hard at work.
Did you say something to him?

Oh, I might have given him a little nudge.

Hey, Jarvis. Glad you called.

Now, I think I might have
gotten my days more confused

than a bat in sunshine,

but I could have sworn
that you were set to deliver

some chickens today.

What now?

You know, this reminds me of
that episode of Sparkling,

when you built that big walk-in closet

for that lady in Florida.

Now, why would someone in Miami
need 74 turtleneck sweaters?

Wait, you watch Sparkling?

Well, I mean, I've caught it now and then.

Well, that's nice.

What do you think?
Do you like it?

All right, just calm down.

You know, we're actually
supposed to be shooting

the second season right now.

What?

What?

Uh, nothing. Just, uh...

Well, it means a lot to me that
you would put all that on pause

just to come down here and help me.

Excuse me.
I have to take this.

Hey, hon, I think your card's been stolen.

Just got a fraud alert

that someone spent a bunch
of money at a chicken farm.

I'll go ahead and cancel it.

No, don't!

That was me.

Oh, I thought it was
a literal chicken farm.

What is it, like, a farm
to table place or a spa?

Mmhmm.

I had to help my mom with something.

That family emergency...

that wasn't really a family emergency.

It was more of a financial emergency.

Geez. I thought it was a health thing.

I've been worried sick.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I didn't think you could relate.

I mean, it's embarrassing.

Your family would never go
through something like this.

I just thought that it would
change the way that you saw me.

Babe, that's crazy.

None of this changes
who you are as a person

or how I feel about you.

Your family will turn things around.

Like you said, they're well-connected.

Wasn't your uncle the Governor?

Right?

We'll call him.

Do something to take
everybody's mind off of it.

Take the boat out.

Yes, yes.
The boat we own.

I'm just saying there's nothing
to worry about.

Nothing at all.

Except the chickens of her lies

coming home to roost.

Augusta Moore you get
out here this instant.

Hold up.

This was sabotage.

Man, the camera loves this guy.

What?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, not now!

Hey, Patrick.
There's something wrong

with the power in my room.
I need it fixed ASAP.

Don't worry.
We'll fix it.

I'll send up Gruster.

Oh, great. A man named
Gruster is on the case.

My love is like a stone
tied around my neck.

And it's dragging me down to the bottom.

But I love my stone.

And I can't live without it.

End scene.

No one actually says "end scene".

Oh, sorry.

Well...

You know, It really wasn't awful.

Oh, gosh.

Stop, stop with all the compliments.

You are gonna make me an ego monster.

Okay? What I meant was
that you have a chance.

You might end up a New Yorker after all.

Oh, God, I hope so.
I can't wait to get there.

Oh, yeah. Just dying to buy
I Heart New York T-shirt.

Ha ha.

No.

It's that...

I want the chance to be anonymous,

to get to be someone completely new

instead of being here in
this town I've never left

where I am the physical embodiment

of a hundred-year feud.

Everyone is so busy telling me who I am

and whose side they're on,

how things are and always will be,

and what I can do and what I can't do.

And oh!

I just want to be.

Well, I hope you can... be.

Can I help you?

I'm here to look at your power issues.

You're Gruster?

Yes, ma'am.

Now, Augusta, I think
I can fairly say

that at this point in our lives,

we are mature enough
to remember our values

and conduct ourselves with integrity.

Speak for yourself.

Oh, Mama Nancy don't
give these two any credit.

You took all the chicken.
You left us with nothin'.

Well, what do you care?
You don't even eat chicken.

You know why we need it.

And you know why I did it?

Because you sabotaged our sweet tea.

You did what?

It was just a little prank
Frank Jr. and I came up with.

It was a joke.

Yeah, well, our customers
didn't think it was a joke.

They all walked out.

I am so sorry, Gus.

I did not know about this,
and I do not condone it.

I would sooner spit on my daddy's grave

than mess with someone's sweet tea.

Please accept our apologies,
mine and Amanda's.

Amanda apologize.

Amanda!

Now, what has gotten into you?!

Pardon my language.

You're acting like a dang ding-dong!

She started it.

She's talking about the sign.

That was regrettable,
but I only painted over it

after you bad-mouthed me on the show.

I didn't mean to.

Oh, please.

Nobody is buying your good girl act.

Now, ladies, what's done is done.

There's no point in you having
more chicken than you need

and us having none at all.

So I'd like to buy our order back, please.

All right.

Thank you, Gus.

For a 30 percent markup.

Fine. I don't mind overpaying.

I'll consider you my weekly tithing!

Oh, Saint Nancy of the holy poker faces!

You know, it barely covers
the lunch rush that she ruined.

And it's a good thing that I had Mae there

to help me salvage this mess.

Oh, yeah. Oh, you think
May's here to help you?!

She's only here cause she
got fired from Sparkling.

Yeah, she's only here to be on TV.

- Mama...
- Just...

She just agrees with everything Mae says.

Like she's so perfect.

She took off, I stayed.

I mean, I'm not the one who
left her and never looked back.

It's not fair.

I'm her daughter, too.

All right, now you're okay.

I'm just sick to death of it.
All of it.

Yeah. I don't blame you.

No?

No.

They treated you like this since forever.

Well, not since forever.

We had some good times.

Are you serious?

They treated us like dirt.

I mean, I was never good enough for them.

Which is rich because
they're lucky to have me

classing up their family tree.

No, they've been this way for 20 years.

Your problem is you keep
hoping they'll change,

but people don't change.

Yeah. You're right.

And that sweet tea thing
wasn't even that bad.

No.

It's not like buying our
chickens out from under us

and then selling them back at a markup.

That was real bad.

Well, then let's do
something real bad back.

Like what?

I have a few ideas.

Why don't you go home, rest up,

and then meet me back here
after I close up?

But...

you never close up.

You're gonna clean the grease trap?

Honey, I got this.

Responsibilities make the man.

I tell you, we're gonna win.

And that $100,000 is going
to change everything for us.

Take Frannie's to the next level

like my daddy envisioned it.

That'll be amazing.

And then we can try for a baby.

Oh, yeah, we can try.

What was that for?

I missed this, Frank Jr.

What do you mean?
I've been right here.

I was just watching dailies
and then the power went out.

It's like, why spend all the money

on all these refurbishments

if you don't handle the basics
like electrical--

Fixed it.

Oh.

Well, maybe my rant was a little hasty.

Thank you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Of course, of course it's not working

because nothing in my life
can be easy or smooth.

I am under an insane amount of pressure.

My boss is breathing down my neck.

And you know what else?

I haven't been home in 18 weeks.

I drag everything across
the world with me,

including my daughter.

Now that's madness.

Just me and my wares and my daughter.

Rat racing across the countryside,

living out of a suitcase.

Do you know how many
great pairs of shoes I have

that I couldn't bring?

Like I'm not built for this!
I'm not, I'm not!

And on top of all of that,
my computer is not working--

Fixed it.

So you just know how to fix computers too?

Yep.

I hope your evening improves, ma'am.

Thanks for your help, Gruster.

That's a nickname, right?

Nope.

Huh?

Mama, you don't need to do that.

I'm closing up tonight.

You sure?

I got this.

I'll see you in the morning.

Mama...

We have to talk about this...
please.

You said you came back here to help me.

And I have been helping you.

I kept the Kitchen Clash crew
from coming into Mimi's

before it was ready.

I have been protecting you.

Or were you just protecting yourself?

You know, when you were a teenager

running roughshod over me,

all the older ladies used to tell me:

Don't you worry.

You know, she'll come back around.

But then you took off.

And then the ladies said, well, you know,

just give her a few years and
let her feel her independence,

and then she'll come home.

But you didn't.

At the very least, they said

she'll return when she's old
enough to understand

that her mother did the best
she could with what she had.

And then she won't just be your family,

she'll be your friend.

Now, from where I'm sittin',
looks like I got neither.

Oh, hey.
How'd it go with Frankie?

Fine.

We hung out all day
just like you ordered me to.

That's right.

Sabrina sure knew how to produce.

Such a good kid.

Lucky you. Excuse me.

Frankie is such a doll. We did good.

Room 103, please.
Thanks.

Linzey, you want your phone back?

I have an assignment for you.

Can I have my phone back now?

Ta da! You like?

I mean, these grease traps
are something else.

Oh, yeah.
Pretty bad, isn't it?

I mean, it's foul.
The smell just follows you.

Oh, I know. I clean
them nearly every night.

Well, you want a medal,
Amanda?

Are you ready for our plan?

I've had a long day.
Can't you just do it?

Frank Jr. you said we were
gonna go together.

I know what I said, and now
I'm saying this, all right?

Dang!

That's when
Amanda realized

her house was chock full of
souvenirs of happier times.

And maybe Frank Jr.

was just one more piece of
sentimental bric a brac

she was clinging to.

A memory she loved,
but a memory nonetheless.

Fine.

I guess I'll just...
go by myself.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I forgot my Jodi Picoult.

Oh. Little Frank what happened?

You were doing so good.

Can't a man unwind after
a long, hard day's work?

Unwinding is a bubble bath
and a vanilla candle.

Five beers is a spring break.

You know, you might
prance around Frannie's

like you're the boss, but you're no daddy.

Well, neither are you.

I don't want to fight.

But you were doing so good
today and I was so proud.

What happened to pour
your client the drinks,

not yourself.

Maybe the same thing that happened to

don't pay 30 percent more than
we've ever paid for chicken.

Oh, Frank, baby, you're so close to being

who you want to be.

I can see it in you.

Who I want to be?
Or who you want me to be?

I heard about the sweet tea
sabotage business.

That wasn't me.
That was Amanda's idea.

Come on, junior.

Don't give me mayonnaise and
tell me it's whipped cream.

Amanda wouldn't do something like that.

Well, you clearly don't know her, then.

She's doing another sabotage right now.

And here's your Jodi Pacoult.

Picoult.

What?!!

Oh. Did I wake you?

Good!

You say that I only think about myself.

And?

Do you know why?
Because nobody else did.

If I wanted a yelling match in my doorway,

I'd do it with a
Jehovah's Witness.

You don't want me in your doorway.

Why don't I come in?

Right. That's why.

Do you have any idea

what it was like growing up in this chaos?

How something as simple
as getting a glass of water

in the middle of the night was terrifying,

because we lived in a booby trap,

boxes at the top of the stairs
that you could trip on

piles of random crap that could
fall on you at any moment!

That is why I never came back here

because you choose this over me!

You chose it over Amanda
and it's just junk.

Are you quite through?

Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Oh!

Amanda was angrier

than a raccoon after garbage pickup.

She always tried to think
about the right thing to do,

but now she was just feeling.

Amanda, what are you doing down there?

Were you gonna unplug the fridge?

So that's why you're here?!

To destroy all our food?!

Do you know how much that
would set your mom back?

I...

You what? You what?

And your joke with the tea.
I knew it wasn't a prank.

You're angry.
You're here to cause damage.

So what if I am?

You don't know me.

You don't know what it was
like to grow up a Mimi's girl.

To have the whole town judge me.

Think they're better than me?

Even though I did everything right.

I was so nice.

I was so well-behaved.

And for what?
There's no reward.

It's just punishment.

A mother who disowned me.

A sister who hates me.

Maybe I'm tired of doing the right thing.

Tired of being good all the time.

Then stop.

And for the first time in a long time,

Amanda stopped clinging to her past

and lived in the present.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

And in the present, things just got real.
