? 'Cause we're unbreakable Unbreakable ?

Hey, Bloomies. We're backstage getting ready

for a major photo shoot.

And you want to know the best part about a photo shoot?

[together] The snacks!

So let's do some Ask Us Anything.

Tilly from Philly says, "I love Electric Bloom's

first music video for your song, 'Unbreakable!'

Everyone knows you made it before the band blew up,

but since it's trending again,

I want to know more about it.

The rumors are that it was mad chaos.

Is that true?"

Uh, yeah, it was mad chaos.

And happy chaos and sad chaos.

It was all the chaoses.

[in sing-song voice] Because of me.

Okay, let's rehearse it one more time from the chorus.

[plays note on pitch pipe]

Do you have to do that every time?

I really do.

[together] One, two, three, four...

? We got it all ?

? We're standing tall 'Cause we're unbreakable ?

? All for one One, for all ?

? We'll kick down walls 'Cause we're unbreakable ?

? Unbreakable! ?

[applauding] Electric Bloom! My favorite band.

Two cake pops and an iced matcha.

You have to make a music video for that song.

[hesitating] Are you talking to us?

Oops. Sorry.

I forgot to put my finger down.

Yes. I love the song you guys were just singing.

Thank you, Maggie Deetz.

Also, for what it's worth, your podcast gives me life.

Today's your lucky day.

You need a music video,

and I have an in with the hottest

up-and-coming music video director in New York City.

He worked with Beyonc�.

Almost.

[together] Whoa!

Correct. That is the correct response.

Anyway, he's looking for a new project.

I can give you his info if you want.

- We want! - Yeah!

A real music video will bring Electric Bloom to a whole new level.

Or the same level, but with a music video.

His name is Malcolm,

and... oh, yeah, he's my boyfriend.

And he's in college.

Well, not really, he's still in high school

but he's taking one college class.

- That doesn't sound like... - It's college.

Oh, also heads up.

He's a little particular in like, the hottest way.

He doesn't like when people make sounds out of their mouth.

You mean... t-talking?

Yes. That. He doesn't like a lot of that.

So it's better to have one person speak for the band.

You should text him since you're the band's leader.

- Oh. - Oh. [awkward chuckle]

You can let go.

You can let go.

- Same time? - Deal.

One, two, three.

- You're still holding on. - You're still holding on.

Yep. This was gonna be a problem.

[Electric Bloom singing] ? You and me, you and I ?

? I got your back And you've got mine ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go We go together ?

? It's all for one It's you and me ?

? 'Cause all we are Is all we need ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go We go together ?

So, for now...

we'll just leave the paper in the middle of the table

and no one will touch it.

I feel like you're touching it with your eyes. Look away!

You look away!

So, yeah, there was a little question

about who the leader of the band was.

All I knew was I was excited

about shooting a music video.

Isn't this crazy?

We're almost about to work with a guy

who almost worked with Beyonc�!

Let's talk video ideas.

Yes. First idea...

I'm gonna call on myself.

Obviously, we've never discussed having a leader.

But since we're opening up the discussion,

I kind of think there's a world where I'm the leader.

It's funny you say that, like, not ha-ha funny,

but funny in the way that I disagree.

'Cause I think I'm the leader.

Ooh! I just had a crazy idea.

What if in the video, we all wear hats!

I call fedora!

Tulip, you can't just call hats...

- Snapback! - Beret!

Okay. Back to the whole leader thing.

May I say, respectfully,

as the person who keeps the band organized and on track,

I feel like, I should be the leader.

Uh-huh, uh-uh. Look, I hear you,

but with respect to your respect,

I think I should be the leader.

I mean, some say I'm a huge creative force

and the main lyricist of Electric Bloom.

That's true. That's true. That's true...

But respectfully, with full respect,

where would those beautiful lyrics be if not for me?

I'll tell you where they wouldn't be,

in a color coded binder and three backup binders

and a secret backup-backup binder locked in a safe

in an undisclosed location.

Girl, what?

Ooh! Since our song is called "Unbreakable,"

what if in the video we throw a bunch of stuff on the ground,

but it doesn't break!

But in the video, it won't break.

- Hey, Lucas. - Hey, Tulip.

What's that?

Just messing around with this new editing app.

Check it out.

[? upbeat instrumental music playing]

Cool. Where'd you get that lion?

Who? Meeka? She was a rental.

Send me her info. We might need a lion

for the music video we're shooting.

No way! Electric Bloom is shooting a video?

That's huge for you guys. Congrats.

Thanks, Maggie Deetz hooked us up with the director.

But we haven't called him yet because he'll only talk to the band's leader.

And Jade and Posey are still figuring out which one of them that is.

What about you? You don't wanna be the leader?

Oh.

I don't know. I guess I wasn't really part of that discussion.

And how does that make you feel?

Sorry. Reflex.

My mom's a therapist.

I don't know how it makes me feel.

It all happened so fast.

But thinking about it now, Jade and Posey should have

totally considered me as leader of the band.

I book us gigs. I bake us bread.

I make sure the music room's available.

- Isn't it at your house? - I still have to sign it out!

What should I do?

Well, they're your friends, and you should just talk to them.

Yeah. Thanks, Lucas.

That's great advice.

Also the lion, was it a daily rental or weekly?

Weekly. No, daily.

Oh, no, I gotta go.

[Jade] Meanwhile, in a classroom two hallways away,

Posey and I were listening to a lecture about algebra.

Oh, and by listening, I mean, not listening at all.

Since I'm the leader of Electric Bloom

we'll go with my vision for the video.

I haven't really thought it out, but...

It's pink and scheduled, pink and scheduled, pink,

and sounds like this...

[? pop music playing] ? We got it all ?

? We're standing tall 'Cause we're unbreakable ?

[shrieks] Ah!

[pretend sneezes] choo! [awkward chuckle]

Excuse me.

[Posey] I was also imagining what our video

would look like if Jade was in charge.

Listen up, people. I'm the leader of Electric Bloom

so we're gonna do the video my way,

and we're all gonna be dressed like this.

You're gonna hate it.

It's loud and messy, loud and messy,

loud and sounds like this!

[? loud punk-rock music] ? All for one ?

? One for all ?

? We'll kick down walls 'Cause we're unbreakable ?

Mosh pit!

[shrieks] Aah... lgebra. Algebra.

Is that the answer?

[Jade] Clearly this leader thing was all we could think about.

And it wasn't helping that Maggie Deetz was puttin' on the presh.

Crisis. Malcolm, my almost college boyfriend,

says he still hasn't heard from you guys.

One of you needs to give him a call.

So sorry, Maggie.

We've been having some internal band discussions.

Well, he only has a studio space this Saturday.

His Media Arts 101 teacher is being so unfair.

They put numbers after your classes in college.

You guys wouldn't get it. You're still in high school.

So are you.

And so is he.

Just call him and be there on Saturday.

- We'll call! - See you Saturday!

We need to pick a leader like, now.

Well, it can't be you.

It can't be you.

[both] Tulip!

So, later that day, I took Lucas's advice

and told Jade and Posey how I felt.

I really wanted to get my message across,

so I spoke in the language

the three of us best understood,

the language of song.

? There's a North Pole and a South Pole ?

? But don't forget The Equator ?

? There's a sun There's a moon ?

? What they have in common Is a crater ?

? Yeah, yeah, wait... Actually that's a lie ?

? 'Cause suns don't Have craters ?

? It's made of hydrogen ?

That's all I have so far.

And we loved it.

But we need to talk to you about something really important.

- You do? - Yes.

It's about who the leader of the band is.

- It is. - Yeah.

- We want you... - [excitedly] You do?

To decide whether Posey and I

should be the leader of the band.

[squeakily] Oh.

[signing] ? They forgot the Equator ?

I was pretty bummed my best friends didn't understand

what I was trying to express.

But we were kind of focused on...

- what we were focused on. - Ourselves.

And bribing me to vote for you as leader of the band

in some very creative ways, I might add.

[startled] Ooh!

Remember when you said of all things that float,

including clouds and expired eggs,

you love balloons the most?

I listened.

Good leaders listen.

Boop!

Hey, Tulip!

This is for you. [clears throat]

[rapping] ? I know your favorite ice cream flavor ?

? I went to the store To buy this flava ?

? But they didn't have This flava ?

? So I thought could I just Make it at home? ?

[loudly] ? But girl, That's insane ?

? So I went to a different store and I got this ?

[mimics record scratching] ? Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocky Rocky Road! ?

That shows persistence and dedication so...

vote for me!

Ugh. Okay, I get it.

Tulips for tulips. So clever.

But guess what? This Tulip can't be bribed!

"Dear Regina...

Thanks for twenty-five blissful years.

Love forever. Your adoring husband, Demitri.

P.S. These are the last flowers

from the home in Denmark where you grew up."

Mrs. Johansen, my sincere apologies.

Please accept this bike and large stuffed panda as a replacement

for your irreplaceable family legacy.

So, guessing your chat with Jade and Posey didn't go as planned?

No. All they care about is trying to buy my vote,

but I don't want to vote.

I just want them to see me as a leader.

I just want them to see me.

Well, I just saw some fire in you.

Maybe it's time to tap into that and go beast mode.

Beast mode? What's that?

Okay, so you know how I'm usually

a super chill dude, right?

The chillest. I once checked your pulse

to make sure you were alive.

Don't worry, you were.

Cool.

But when I play sports, I don't want to be chill.

I want to dominate.

So I channel my inner Steph Curry.

- Who? - Oh, you don't know the NBA?

How about Aaron Judge?

Is he on the Supreme Court?

Mahomes? Missi?

Well, then get a cleaning service.

Okay, you clearly don't know professional athletes.

Of course I do.

Caitlin Clark, Serena Williams,

Simone Biles.

What do they have to do with all those random dudes

you just named?

Well, all those athletes make their presence known.

They don't take no for an answer.

That's what makes them great leaders.

Just do what they do.

Go beast mode.

Yeah, I can speak up.

I can be loud! And I can make my presence known!

Mrs. Johansen, I'm taking back my bike!

Beast mode!

You can keep the panda.

Happy anniversary!

What is that?

Are you trying to bribe Tulip

with a giant check?

No, I just found this.

Made out to Tulip Aoki?

Signed by Jade, leader of Electric Bloom?

Like I said, I found it.

Oh, man.

Jade's so good at this.

Tulips for sure gonna see her as a leader.

But will she see me as a leader?

I see me as a leader.

Oh, good, Lucas! How do you see me?

- With... - And don't say with your eyes.

What are my best qualities?

That's easy. You're really smart and always think ahead.

And there's this side of you that people don't know.

But once you let them in and they see it,

it's like super magical.

Oh.

I thought you were gonna...

Thanks!

Uh...

Yeah, thanks.

Anytime.

Okay. This is ridiculous. The shoot's in two days

and Tulip's clearly not gonna give us an answer.

You're right. One of us has to call the director

- or we're gonna blow this opportunity. - I'll just do it now.

[dial tone] Already calling.

[voicemail] Hey, it's Malcolm.

I'm almost in college.

Leave a message. [voicemail beeps]

Oh. Hi, Malcolm. Maggie Deets gave me your number...

We're so excited to make our video with you...

We heard you almost worked with Beyonc�.

Sorry that didn't work out. Her loss.

Anyway, bye!

- From the leader! - From the leader!

Did we even say our names?

The call went really well.

And we were totally ready for the music video.

Fine. The day of the shoot came

and we still didn't have a leader.

But we showed up anyway without a plan

and just hoped it would all go great.

Can you believe this?

This is all for us.

Our first music video!

Are we even here? Is this even real?

Also, where's Tulip?

I don't know, she said she'd meet us here.

Well, she better get here soon

because Malcolm Tidwell is on a schedule.

Hi. I am Malcolm Tidwell.

Some say I'm a director.

Some say hero. [snickers]

Both are correct.

All right, we start in 10

and I need to go over the shot list.

- Who's in charge here? - [both] Me.

[both] Me! Stop!

[both] No, you stop! You're being so annoying right now!

Okay, I need one voice, one vision.

Who's the band's leader?

I am!

The name's Trixie.

The artist formerly known as Tulip!

Buckle up.

Uh... Tulip?

What's happening?

It's Trixie and I have thoughts.

Leader thoughts!

Director-man, let's talk wardrobe.

I'm thinking diamonds.

We can't afford diamonds.

Nary a single diamond among us?

Well, this leader doesn't take no for an answer.

Electric Bloom wears diamonds or no gems at all.

Then I guess, no gems at all.

Now we're talking. Beast mode!

Uh... Tulip.

I mean, Trixie. I don't know what's going on,

but maybe you're a little hungry.

Wanna grab a snack?

I am hungry. Hungry for respect!

But also sushi!

Where is the unagi I insisted on?

What are these?

Pretzel sticks? Hard candies?

What is this? A retirement home?

Where are my hand rolls?

There is no sushi.

This is my set.

[chuckles haughtily] Oh, babe!

This isn't your set!

It's mine... to make decisions in.

Like, why is this screen green?

It needs to be green

or else the images won't key in when we edit.

Well, my bandmates and I demand purple!

Actually, we're fine with green.

Ooh, so fine! Love Green! Let's start shooting!

No! Electric Bloom looks better in purple,

so it has to be purple! Leader thoughts!

Okay!

I've been disrespected enough!

I almost worked with Beyonc�.

And we almost worked with you.

That's it! I quit!

We all quit!

I went too far.

He's gone.

The director of our first music video is totally gone.

Of course he's gone! He couldn't take the heat,

so he got out of the kitchen.

But don't worry.

I like it caliente.

I can figure out how to work a camera in no time.

You! With the face,

teach me how this thing works.

- Tulip? - What?

Can we please just talk?

I don't know.

Yes.

Maybe.

Are you okay?

What's going on?

You can tell us.

[Tulip sighs]

Do you guys know that when Maggie asked

who the leader of the band was,

neither of you even looked at me?

- We didn't? - No.

You just assumed it was one of you

and then respectfully argued about who would be better at it,

but just with each other.

Oh, my gosh.

Tulip, I'm so sorry.

I guess I got so caught up trying to prove I'd make the best leader,

I didn't really think of anything else.

Same. That was so not cool of us.

Beyond not cool.

Why didn't you say something?

I did. In song!

[singing] ? There's a North Pole and a South Pole ?

? But don't forget The Equator ?

Hello! It was very clear.

You're right. It was super clear.

Which pole am I?

No idea.

It's just everything happened so fast,

I didn't have time to process it.

And then when I did realize how I felt,

I didn't know how to get through to you guys.

And then boom...

Trixie.

Oh, Trixie went "boom" all right.

I mean, the demands, the green screen...

You used the word "nary".

I did. But to be honest, I don't know what it means.

The truth is, I didn't even want to be leader.

It just really hurt my feelings

that neither of you even considered me.

Oh, man.

I'm so sorry, Tulip.

I hate that I hurt your feelings.

Me too.

How about we start over and the three of us

figure out this whole leader thing together?

You want to know what I think?

I do.

I think we don't need a leader.

I think we've been working pretty great together without one.

Yeah, we have.

And we all bring different,

nary, amazing things to the table.

Did I use that right?

You did not.

But I love the sentiment,

and it sounds like we have our answer.

[together] No leader!

And ever since that day, Electric Bloom has been three girls,

one voice... end of story.

Except the story is not over.

Right! We needed a director

after Trixie made the first one quit.

Luckily, I, Tulip stepped up

and got a better director.

One who definitely was not in college.

Ladies, thank you for this opportunity

to pitch ideas for Electric Bloom's first music video.

Also, 'sup.

'Sup.

Okay, how about this?

You're all mermaids.

We shoot the whole video under water,

and you have to hold your breath from anywhere between

18-47 minutes.

- Thoughts? - [together] Pass!

All good. How about this?

The desert. 110 degrees,

sand blowing in your face constantly.

[together] Hard pass!

Lucas, no offense, but maybe we should...

Aah! I'm just messing with you.

I'm not doing any of that stuff.

You're Electric Bloom.

You deserve a video that shows the world how amazing you are.

I'm thinking bright lights, bold colors,

three steady cams, two jibs and more jump-cuts than you can...

? I know that life can have A way of unfolding ?

? Like to know where I'm going before I get there ?

? Yeah, yeah ?

? I don't like bending The rules... No ?

? Can't go down that road "Cause I want it my way ?

? Yeah, yeah ?

? And I don't like to say What I'm feeling ?

? 'Cause that's so revealing ?

? I could get hurt And I don't want that ?

? So I just keep it All locked up ?

? Stay on the ground 'cause ?

? You know I'm too afraid of heights ?

? I can't lie I see the bright side ?

? Even when It's dark outside ?

? You know I I just can't keep a secret ?

[Electric Bloom] ? No we don't need no secrets ?

? We got it all ?

? And we're standing tall 'Cause we're unbreakable ?

? All for one One for all ?

? We'll kick down walls Cause we're unbreakable ?

? When there's so much To discover ?

? Yeah, yeah ?

? Bring the best Out of each other ?

? Yeah, yeah ?

? 'Cause we got it all ?

? And we're standing tall 'Cause we're unbreakable ?

? Unbreakable! ?

Lucas, you nailed it!

Our first music video! It's amazing!

I have one huge note.

I love it!

Yeah. Malcolm could never.

I guess Trixie kind of did us a favor.

You're welcome, darling.

[all laughing]

I'm gonna go grab a snack before class.

- You guys want something? - I'll come.

[Posey] I'll meet up with you guys in a minute.

Hey, Lucas,

I just wanted to say thanks for what you said

about me the other day, it was really sweet.

It's the truth.

Also, can I show you something else I made?

- Sure. - [class bell rings]

Oh, actually, can you show me later?

If I even think about being late

my left eye starts twitching.

Oop! There it goes. [chuckles]

Thanks again for the video. I love it.

[? upbeat instrumental music playing]

Posey, will you go to the dance with me?
