How do you think he hurt his leg?

Well, we can rule out running too fast.

So I have big news.

You adopted a panda.

You said I couldn't. You discovered a
dinosaur fossil.

No, can I just tell you my news?

Fine, but a fossil would have been
cooler.

I'm directing the annual play about the
founding of Starfall.

That's great.

And on the 150th anniversary.

Plus, I'm the first teen to ever direct
a play.

So some people are saying it's a pretty
big deal.

Oh, really?

Who? Okay, fine.

I've been saying it's a pretty big deal.

Because it is.

When was the last time a teenager
directed a play in this town? I feel

that's a rhetorical question. Never.

Just this lady right here.

I'm proud of you, honey.

Don't be proud of me yet.

Wait until I blow everyone's minds by
putting on the best play anyone has ever

seen. After that, breathe away.

But I just... You're... Well, you... Out
with it.

You're a control freak.

What are you talking about?

Also, if you're going to use gauze on a
turtle, it has to be an over, under,

under, over, behind the shell type
pattern.

Actually, here, just let me do it. Yep.
Big, big control freak.

I promise the play will be the very
definition of collaboration.

I can't wait to see it.

Where'd the turtle go?

Guess he's faster than he looks.

Hey, Soph, here's your muffin.

Ah, yes.

The pastry inspired by our town founders
who insisted on eating only what nature

provided. Half muffin, mostly roughage,
100 % delicious.

So what are you working on?

You know how every year we celebrate the
founding of Stark Falls with the same

boring plate, the same boring story, and
the same boring everything?

Huh? Sorry, that was so boring I fell
asleep.

Well, wake up, because I'm rewriting the
plate, and it's going to be a million

times cooler.

You're adding ninjas.

Better. Instead of the play being about
Jane Star, the founder of Starfold, it's

going to be an epic about Abigail Star,
his daughter.

She's the one who really did all the
work, you know? I did not know.

Well, now you do.

And I need your help.

You want my help.

Why do you say it like that?

Because you're a control freak and you
want to do everything yourself.

Why does everyone keep saying that?

Because it's true.

Remember the time when you wouldn't pass
the baton and ran the entire relay race

yourself? Passing the baton would have
slowed down the process. And what's the

point of a race, Nate?

Well, to engage in friendly competition.
To win, that's right.

This time is going to be different. To
prove it, I'm going to put you in charge

of a huge, super important job, curtain
pulling.

You want me to pull a rope?

Um, no, I, uh, I wasn't done yet.

I also want you to do... casting.

Casting? All right.

That's the spirit, sort of.

Trust me, Nate. I'm going to give
Starfall the best play they've ever

You mean we're going to?

Yeah, that's what I said. We're. No, you
didn't.

Oh, this lighting is awful.

If it weren't for my sparkling
personality, this pic would be unusable.

Hey. Oh, you ruined my selfie. Each one
is a carefully crafted portrait.

See? Flawless.

I need to post 150 of these every day or
my fans get bored.

Uh -huh.

So look, Sophia's directing the annual
Star Falls play, and I'm in charge of

casting. Want to be in it?

Okay, first, why does she put you in
charge of casting?

Doesn't really seem like your thing.

Yeah, but she's my best friend, so I'm
helping.

And you're pretty much the only actress
I know, so how about helping me?

I'm flattered, and you're right, I would
be perfect.

I don't think I said that. But I'm an
internet star at the very top of the

entertainment ladder.

I see.

Community theater is one step down the
ladder?

Two steps?

It's right below roadside carnivals and
miming.

But I'll tell you what.

If you hold up this table lamp to give
me some better light, I can get back to

taking my selfies.

And then you'll do the play?

No. But you get to help me. Fun, right?

Not right?

Sometimes parents need a little help.

So we're helping ours get together.

My mom, my best friend.

Her dad, huge movie star.

And things might get a little crazy.

Okay, a lot crazy.

But that's just life in Starfall.

So what do you think? I need a set
designer and you're the most artistic

I know.

We'd open...

On a cave full of sparkling crystals.

Actually, the play's about the founding
of Star Falls.

Hence the title, The Founding of Star
Falls.

There aren't any crystal caves around
here. If I'm going to be your set

designer, I need full artistic freedom.

Would you tell a rainbow it's only
allowed to color inside the lines?

Probably not.

But maybe just, you know, read the
script first.

Namaste.

Careful, Doctor.

That patient is no ordinary patient.

It's an alien patient.

Oh, hey, Sophia.

Just running lines from my movie.

So I hear you're putting on a play.

Cool.

Coolio.

Right. You know, I got my start in the
theater.

So many amazing memories.

Don't suppose you could use any help?

Wow, I appreciate the offer, but I
wouldn't dream of asking a big star like

to be in our tiny play.

Oh.

Wow, is that what you thought I was
asking?

Yeah, no.

Nope. I mean, if I was in your play, I'd
end up overshadowing everything and

everyone, and nobody wants that.

Especially me.

Well, I mean, we could use someone to
handle refreshments.

Refreshments?

I can do that.

Can't have a play without cookies and
juice.

Great, thanks.

Oh, no, Doctor.

Are you an alien patient, too?

Yeah, this script makes no sense.

The answer's no.

I need someone to help with pyrotechnics
for the town play.

Still no.

Pyrotechnics means you get to blow stuff
up.

I'll get my stuff.

150 selfies.

That was exhausting.

And it was gross.

Yeah. Girlfriends aren't for everyone.

So, anything I can do to change your
mind about the play?

Why do you care so much?

Because Sophia's my best friend, and
also a total control freak. And as the

friend of a total control freak, I'd
like to help her be a little less

-y and freaky.

So, if I do a good job on this, she
might loosen up a little.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Not sweet.

Just trying to make my life easier.

Which is very important.

But I'm still not doing it.

Oh, come on. What if I promise you'll
get A -list treatment?

Whatever that means.

Could I have my own dressing room?

I'll do it myself.

Unlimited snacks.

No ruffins.

Done.

Okay, I'm in. Oh, and I would also like
a fleet of chihuahuas.

How many's a fleet?

No idea. I just made that up.

Good one.

I have to admit, I'm impressed.

Impressed with what?

You've loosened up, learned how to
delegate.

You're a real leader. It's very big of
you to admit you were wrong about

me a control freak.

Your apology is accepted.

I didn't apologize.

Agree to disagree.

Moving on.

So, who's going to play Abigail Starr?

The character of Abigail Starr is bold,
has integrity, and unwavering courage.

So naturally, I thought that I would
play... All right, listen up.

I found our lead.

Presenting in the starring role of
Abigail Starr.

Drumroll, please.

What? Diamond's perfect for the part.

See? You can trust other people to get
the job done.

And yes, you're welcome. You're welcome?
I don't want Diamond for the lead.

Do you know how many people will buy
tickets this year? But Abigail Starr is

strong -willed, bold, and full of
courage.

Diamond takes 150 selfies a day.

You told me to take care of casting, so
I took care of casting.

But it meant casting parts like the
villagers and trees and stuff, not the

that matter.

But since I'm totally not a control
freak, I'm sure your decision is one I

not completely regret.

Diamond will be great.

Just great.

Awesome.

Okay, Diamond. Sophie's excited.

Really? She said, and I quote,

Diamond will be great.

Just great.

Oh, that's so sweet. Now, where's the
selection of soft cheeses I was

Wow.

Definitely haven't forgotten about them.

Now... If you'll excuse me, I've got to
go take care of something.

Not cheese -related.

Okay, let's rehearse up in the top
places, people.

And action!

Hmm, it's kind of boring here, but I
guess it's as good as any place to start

town. Oh, and look, there's a totes cute
waterfall.

Let's call the town Star Falls.

Hooray!

Let's take five, everyone.

Diamond, did you not get the script?

I did, but I don't do scripts. On my
channel, I just say funny stuff and give

tours of my food and tours of my closet.

Lots of tours, really, but I just make
it up as I go. Fun, right?

Fun, yes.

Plus, what you wrote doesn't sound like
me at all. Right, it's called acting.

You're playing a part.

You can't just improvise. You have to
learn the script.

But there are, like, so many words. Do I
have to?

Yes.

Okay, that was weird.

Very weird.

I'll go talk to her.

You don't know where I can get a
selection of soft cheeses, do you?

Never mind.

Oh, no.

Hey, Phoenix.

Where's the beautiful countryside
backdrop you were supposed to paint?

This is superior.

A blank canvas.

There's no better backdrop than the
audience's imagination.

Really? Because I can think of a few.

For instance, and this is just off the
top of my head.

A beautiful countryside!

Yes, but this will be a totally
immersive experience.

You know, I have some ideas on how to
build on the great work you've done

How about I finish this with a few tiny
touch -ups?

Collaboration! Love it.

Me too.

So now you can focus your amazing
talents on getting the word out about

play. You know, social media and all
that stuff.

Way ahead of you. I made a viral video
to promote it. Wow, can I see it?

So it's a hawk. Yep.

That shoots lasers out of its ass.

Uh -huh.

Until it screams and explodes.

It says it all, doesn't it? Well, except
the date of the play, the name of the

play, or anything about the play.

Just curious, how exactly does an
exploding laser hawk promote the play?

creates a sense of intrigue.

I just had a really cool idea!

What if you made some flyers for the
play to go up around town?

You'd be so good at that.

I would be so good at that. The wires
can't be blank or just laser hawks.

Something new and different.

Got it.

Oh, yeah.

Hey. I'm sorry, but I can't work under
these conditions.

Just so we're on the same page, what
exactly are these conditions?

For starters, this costume is obviously
polyester.

When I wear nothing less than a cotton
poly blend.

Didn't understand any of that. And I
asked for kalamata olives. Some is ania.

There are different kinds of olives.

And the worst of all, this imported
water is cold.

And you wanted... Slightly chilled.

Diamond, I'm doing my best with this,
but you're acting kind of strange.

Err than usual.

Look, Nate.

The truth is, I'm scared.

I've never been in front of a real
audience before.

But you have your own channel.

You're in front of millions of viewers
every day.

Yeah, viewers.

That's just me and my phone. It's easy.
But a play? Did you count how many seats

there are out there?

No. Me neither. But there's a lot.

I don't know if I can do this.

What if I look dumb?

So that's the problem?

Stage fright?

Oh, we can deal with that.

Really? Hey, why don't we call your dad?

He's going to know something. Are you
kidding? My dad's never had stage fright

in his life.

I'll do some research and try to come up
with some ideas to help.

Cool? Totes.

And I'm sorry about this. I'm not
normally such a demanding diva. No, of

not.

Why are you saying it like that?

I'm going to go find some olives.

Not working! Not sticky enough!

Ooh, chocolate chip.

While delicious, probably won't sticky
up the paper mache.

Coming through!

What's burning?

These are still good, right? They're
pure carbon.

I know.

This is the third batch I've ruined.

But I promise, you will have cookies for
opening night.

Refreshments is my middle name.

I thought it was Brian.

I can have two middle names.

Craig, don't worry about it. Just let me
handle the cookies.

Which reminds me, I need to get more
chocolate chips.

I'm not going to ask since they really
don't want to know, and I need to get

more chocolate chips.

Felix and I just blew up all the stuff
Sophia gave me.

How are you going to do the pyrotechnics
for the play?

I don't know.

Sophia's problem now.

No cookie dough not cookie dough

Okay, I looked it up and a

trick to deal with stage fright is to
picture everyone in the audience and

underwear, huh?

Actually, let's try something else I was
told the key to meditation is to push

away any thought that comes into your
mind simply focus on your breathing and

Let go

It isn't working.

Hello?

Nate?

Nate?

Okay,

this might seem a little weird. Weirder
than imagining people in their

underwear? Look, there are only so many
how to deal with stage fright videos out

there, so don't get picky.

Now, if you hold this in your hand,
it'll distract you so much you won't

think about the audience.

Yep, this is weirder.

This is it.

Backdrop, check.

Makeup, check.

Music, check.

Places, we're on in two minutes.

Break a leg, everyone.

What is that?

I know, right? I'm not a fan of
polyester either, but it's just one

so whatever.

No, the pineapple.

Hey, I need that. It's my stage fright
pineapple.

Your what? Yeah, it totally works.

It was Nate's idea.

Sophia. I don't have time for this.

You're not taking your role seriously,
and you're not taking your job

You're both fired.

But who's going to play Abigail?

Okay, here we go. Pull the curtain.

All right, that was Nate's job.

I hope the crowd's ready.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Did you get into a fight with the
raccoon again?

Honestly, that would have been more fun.

Also, you missed the play.

Not that it matters. It was a disaster.

No one showed up, and I had to do
everything myself after I fired Nate.

And Diamond. And pretty much everyone
else because they weren't taking it

seriously. Honey, I... No, I know what
you're going to say. Yes, you're right.

am a control freak, sweetheart. No need
to rub it in. I get it.

This says the play opens tomorrow.

What?

Phoenix was the scene I was in trouble
and changed the date on purpose to give

me more time to make things right.

That guy may be a little out there.

Well, a lot out there.

But he saved me.

Looks like you got a second chance.

And you learned your lesson?

Cole learned it.

Thanks, Mom.

Whoa. What happened to you?

I did.

Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy.

I'd say pastels are your worst enemy.
They just don't match your coloring.

And thank you for that.

Anyway, I had no right to take that role
from you. Or to fire Nate.

Or to hijack the whole play.

Which, as it turns out, doesn't actually
open until tomorrow.

If you still want to play Abigail, she's
all yours.

Yeah, I don't know. I promise tomorrow
I'll take a step back and let everyone

their jobs the way they want.

Yeah, but this is really important to
you.

What if I mess up?

I believe in you.

You're a star.

Aww.

Thanks.

But I am going to need that pineapple.

No, really, I need it.

Hey, Phoenix, you did a good thing
putting the wrong date on the flyer.

Huh? You know, to give Sophia more time
to make the play better.

I put the wrong date on these?

So that wasn't your whole plan?

No.

But the universe must have spoken to my
subconscious.

My inner Phoenix saved my outer Phoenix
once again.

So you messed up.

Oh, yeah.

How's everything looking?

Well, it's not exactly how I would have
done it. Here we go. Because I would

have made it an epic one -woman
disaster.

So it's much better.

Oh, good.

What did you mean by here we go?

Kidding!

Everything is going great now.

Yeah, Phoenix's backdrop looks cool. And
I even saw Bo doing actual work.

And the cookies won't be burnt because
Craig finally gave up and hired

That was a good call.

And you were totally right.

Diamond is a good choice.

Nate, where's my... slightly chilled
water.

Places, everyone!

Wait, wait, wait!

Everything okay?

I'm ready.

I don't need you anymore.

Thank you. For everything.

Make sure he finds a good home.

Or we can have him for breakfast.

Ooh, that works, too!

Lovely day to start a town.

I'm proud of you, you know.

Duh.

But thanks for believing in me.

Duh, I have to. It's part of being a
mom.

But I knew you could do it.

And with the wise owl and the nourishing
pine cone, we'll settle here in our new

home. Star Falls.

The play is over.

That's so nice.

Keep it funny.

Moose, get off the stage.

Oh, no.
