[speaking Korean]

Good morning to you, too.

Your Korean's improving.

Oh, Vee, let me try something in your language. Ready?

[squeaking]

Whoa, Elijah, that's my grandma you're talking about!

[stammers]

[squeaks]

Apology accepted.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[screams] The Spotlights, they're here!

It's happening. Look natural.

♪ I know that I look hot ♪

Wow. Who are they?

Why don't we have entrance choreography?

The Spotlights are the most exclusive club at Wilson.

Yeah, I wanted in until I found out it was just for girls.

Then I really wanted in.

Getting in is like joining a sisterhood for life.

[sighs] Millie Eyelash was a Spotlight.

The Millie? My Millie?

Millie-Millie?

We have to be Spotlights!

How do we get in? I'm not above bribery.

Please, your chance is as good as Mary Cunningham's.

-Who's that? -Exactly.

Like you guys,

Mary Cunningham was also the First Year to Watch,

but then she got rejected from The Spotlights.

Oh, no. What happened to her?

They say she runs the school's lost and found now.

Because that's where her life ended up.

Sophie, if we become Spotlights,

Millie Eyelash will be our sister for eternity!

Well, an eternity for me.

For you, a regular human life cycle.

Congratulations. I'm about to change your life.

I'm so excited. [giggles]

Well, don't get too excited.

Oh, I wasn't. I was appropriately excited.

[squeals]

It's just an invitation to our meet and greet.

It's the first round of a three round audition process.

I mean, we are The Spotlights after all.

Oh, you two are First Years to Watch,

and now we're watching you.

[♪ music continues]

[both giggling]

Demi, those are my new slippers.

Are you sure they're yours?

I don't know. Is your name Sophie Choi?

Well played, but I'm keeping the robe.

No, that's my robe.

I don't see your name on it.

Oh. So we're just writing our names on everything now.

Yes, we are and you know why?

This dorm room is not big enough for the three of us.

Finally, someone said it.

See ya, Sophie?

I'm not the problem. You are!

Wearing our things, possessing my stuffy,

releasing your ghostly vapors and never saying "Excuse me"!

Well, excuse me.

Sorry, Demi.

This is our room.

You need to live, laugh, lurk somewhere else.

Are you serious?

Fine, but I'm taking your chargers out of spite.

You don't even have a phone!

Kyah!

Kyah. What are we doing?

Demi, don't sneak up on me like that.

If I had known you were coming over, I would have cleaned my room.

It's so messy.

All right.

That's better.

You call this messy?

It's pristine.

You could perform surgery on this rug.

I'm not a doctor, but I think I could.

So what's up?

Well, Vee and Sophie told me

I have to find a new place to live.

To live, Elijah. Live!

If it makes you feel any better,

they never even gave me a roommate. Not taking it personally.

Just doing a lot of angry journaling.

Really?

In that case, I have a proposal for you.

Uh, what's happening?

Elijah Van Helsing Summers.

This is all so sudden.

Will you be my roommate?

Oh, sure. That sounds great.

For a second there, I thought I was gonna have to break your heart.

This invitation says we have to wear gold to the meet and greet.

I don't have any gold clothes!

How am I gonna shine if I can't shine?

I don't have any either.

But what I do have are wings.

I'll fly to the store and buy something.

I just gotta transform.

[grunts]

Is this an interpretive dance,

or do I need to call the nurse?

I can't turn into a bat,

and I've always been able to turn into a bat.

It's like riding a bike. You never forget.

It's okay, Vee.

I forgot how to skip for a whole year and look at me now.

-See? -Not helping, Skippy.

So, I cleared out a drawer for you.

[spookily] Ooh! What am I, Elijah?

What am I?

A ghost who's gonna have to remake his bed in a minute.

Nah, I'm just gonna sleep in it later anyway.

Learn from your roomie. Observe.

-Oh! -Live a little.

Interesting advice coming from a ghost.

But why not? [chuckles]

You know, maybe I'll just fix it.

Oh, we're eating in the room now.

[chuckles]

I guess I'll just call the dining hall and tell them to shut down.

Can I be honest with you? Roomie to roomie.

You're kind of uptight.

I know, man. I'm sorry. It's just how I grew up.

As you know, my mom can be a little intense.

But maybe you're right.

Now that I'm here and she's not...

That felt good.

Yeah. You're a real rebel.

You want me to turn around

-so you can pick it up behind my back? -I really do.

[♪ electronic beat playing]

Hello, future recruits and rejects.

I'm Megan, President of The Spotlights.

AKA Megan Thee Spotlight.

Ah, I see what you did there.

Nice vest.

You know, I lost one just like that.

You might want to check the lost and found, tomorrow.

Anyway, there have been many illustrious Spotlights over the years,

including the queen of pop herself, Millie Eyelash.

[sighs softly]

Now the meet and greet is the first step

in deciding whether or not you'll be invited into our forever sisterhood circle.

[gasps] I'm so nervous!

-Samesies. -I'm not. I'm shaking 'cause I'm cold.

First, a little icebreaker.

When the spotlight lands on you,

you're gonna share a fun fact about yourself.

And it better be a fact, and it better be fun.

Last year, someone said she liked toast.

She's gone now.

Let's begin! [claps]

Oh, gosh, me.

Okay. Hi, I'm Sophie.

My fun fact is I like to hand-make alpaca plushies.

And, yes, I stuff them with alpaca wool.

Don't ask where I get it.

That's twisted in a way I don't like.

You know what I do like? Snakes. That's your thing now.

But I hate snakes!

Do you also hate the idea of becoming a Spotlight?

Sounds good.

Whoo-hoo snakes!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Uh...

What the what?

I thought you couldn't turn into a bat?

-I didn't do it on purpose-- -Well, well, well. That was quite a surprise.

For centuries, people have hated your kind.

It is very brave of you to reveal that you're a...

[♪ intense music playing]

Magician!

[laughs in relief] A magician.

Yes. That is exactly what I am. A magician.

Ugh! A triple threat?

I just can't!

[claps] Yeah, seriously! Isn't she amazing?

Well, the bat trick sure was.

Vee, we can't wait to see the rest

of your magic act tomorrow at the official auditions.

[giggles] Um, Actually, I was hoping to sing.

-Sophie and I have-- -No. Your thing Is magic now.

I mean, unless you want your thing to be leaving.

Uh, magic it is!

[sighs in relief]

You're invited too, snake girl.

[hissing like snake] See you there.

All right, who's next?

[panting]

Look what Megan gave me.

His name is Todd, and he's poisonous.

Poisonous is my favorite kind!

[gasps] Oh, he's so cute!

Who's my little danger noodle?

You are.

You are. You are--

No, no, no. What? Hey! What?

Bye, Todd.

[gasps]

You got so lucky!

Being a magician is easy for you,

since you already have powers!

Not when my powers keep fritzing.

I just wish I could sing and not do magic.

Back home, everyone knows a magician is just a wannabe wizard.

It's offensive.

But once we're Spotlights,

we can be ourselves and meet Millie.

I just need to work Todd into my DJ set.

Todd?

He's gone!

[screams]

[sighs]

Oh, Demi, you're absolutely glowing.

What is that smell?

Wait...

Crypt scented?

Hey!

I was trying to cover up this room's weird aroma.

You mean the smell of clean?

Lavender with notes of vanilla? Yuck!

Anyway, time to rest in peace.

So how long does it take for a ghost to fall asleep?

[snoring] Boo-boo-boo-boo...

[snoring] Boo-boo-boo-boo...

[groans softly]

Hey, could you stop moving so much?

-I can't sleep with your boo-snoring. -I'm not boo-snoring.

Yeah, you do, Boo.

Look, forget it.

I just wanna get some sleep.

Me too.

-Good night. -Sleep tight.

-[whispers] I won't. -What was that?

Nothing.

All right. Remember the plan. I pretend to hypnotize you,

you pretend to be hypnotized.

Right. We're gonna kill it.

-Indeed. -Now, the next candidate, Vee, the Bat-nificent.

[crowd applauding]

Hello, gals and ghouls for my magic act today

I will be hypnotizing, my dear friend,

the great Sophie.

You mean the great snake-ini?

Wait! Where's Todd?

Silence! Please.

I must concentrate.

Great Snake-ini, look deep into my eyes.

Abracadabra, dooby-doo,

I am hereby hypnotizing you!

Um, Vee, why are your eyes glowing?

Oh, no, my powers are fritzing.

Sorry, Sophie.

Did I mind control you or are you pretending?

-Be honest. -Honest? As you wish.

I've got a lot to get off my chest about these low-rent divas.

Where to start?

Let's spotlight The Spotlights.

Casey, your hacky-sack act, hacky.

Too honest, Sophie. Too honest!

Donna, 10 minutes of knock knock jokes?

Knock, knock, nobody cares.

This is amazing!

-That's enough! -[giggles]

Just a friendly reminder.

She's hypnotized and not responsible for anything she's saying.

Okay, Sophie, look me in the eyes.

I'm not done yet.

[Vee laughs nervously]

And Megan, your obsession with snakes is s-s-super s-s-sus.

-Excuse me? -Oh, and Todd is missing.

Long live, alpacas!

Abracadabra, dooby doo,

please stop this. I'm pressing undo.

Okay, Vee, go ahead. Hypnotize me!

Why does everyone look so angry?

That's all for me.

[awkwardly] Vee the Bat-nificent.

[slow-clapping]

Well, Vee,

that was a great magic act.

I mean, I kind of expected you

to make her act like a chicken.

But brutal honesty is fun, too.

[chuckles nervously] I'm so glad you liked it.

You've made it to the last round.

[gasps] Yes! Sophie, we made it.

Oh, Sophie's out.

She just insulted the sisters of The Spotlight.

I don't remember that.

And you lost Todd.

Okay, Todd I remember.

Did I really call them low-rent divas?

I mean, they are.

But I would never say it out loud.

I don't wanna do this without you.

I'm telling Megan

I'm not doing the final audition.

No. Vee, you have to.

This is your chance to meet Millie one day.

If I got the opportunity and you didn't,

you'd encourage me to continue, right?

Of course.

Well, I'm encouraging you.

Even if I'm not a Spotlight,

nothing's gonna change between us.

I mean, look, we're eating lunch together.

Yeah, you're right.

Why are you eating lunch together?

Because we're friends.

Future Spotlights eat over there.

[mouthing]

Britney, move over.

Do I have to?

What if she Houdinis my zucchinis?

-I don't want to be a magician. -Don't complain.

They're making me be a ventriloquist.

I'm the pretty one.

If you make it to The Spotlights, you'll be eating lunch with us,

hanging out with us and moving in with us.

So I'll be spending all my time with The Spotlights?

Well, that's what sisterhood is all about.

Forced proximity.

Now let's talk about your next magic act.

How do you feel about being chained up underwater?

Ooh, we love that for you!

When did my room turn into a junkyard?

These are priceless antiquities!

Priceless 'cause they're not worth anything.

Why is this all here?

I had to get my things out of storage.

Paying a dollar a month for 600 years adds up.

I didn't realize you come with so much baggage.

I didn't realize you come with so many rules.

[sighs wearily]

[both] Maybe we shouldn't live together.

You read my mind! You read it again!

Are you sure you're okay with not being roommates?

I've actually had my eye on the attic.

It's got character and good bones.

Like me.

Just kidding. I don't have bones.

I hope it's okay if I come visit?

Of course. But if you see popcorn on the floor, that's where I keep it.

If you talk back one more time,

this is gonna be a one Muppet show.

I can't believe if Vee does well tonight,

she might get to meet Millie Eyelash!

It stinks you're not up there too.

If it can't be me, I'm glad it's her.

And hey, at least the snacks are better out here.

Don't eat that!

[playing pitch-pipe]

♪ And that's why we're

better than everyone... ♪

Scene.

[all applauding]

Hello, gals and ghouls.

It's me, Vee the Bat-nificent.

Apparently I'm a magician now.

So, for my first trick,

I will make an incredibly talented friend appear.

Well, I think we all know who she's talking about.

I'm talking about my best friend, Sophie.

Get up here.

-Really? -Really?

The snake hater?

[scoffs]

Vee, what are you doing?

I thought I wanted to be a part of a sisterhood.

But if it means changing who we are,

it's not worth it.

Besides, I already have a sister. You.

Aw, you're my sister too.

Stop having a heart-to-heart! Back to the show!

Let's do our song.

This feels like a mutiny.

Don't get any ideas.

That was incredible, Vee, but really dumb.

You're out.

We don't need The Spotlights.

We have each other.

Wait. Are they expecting us to leave with them?

Because I paid $20 for our tickets.

And the drama has been worth it.

[hisses]

[screams] Snake!

-Oh, and it's not over yet. -Yeah.

Sophie! Sophie! Sophie!

Watch what I can do again.

-[whooshes] -[wings flapping]

Hey, look who's back.

[whooshes]

I hope that's the end of the fritzing.

Ladies, do you mind?

You're in my new man cave.

Ah, and we're trying to reduce our cortisol levels.

You know, these two are onto something.

Right? Nothing wrong with a little us time.

What do we have to worry about?

It is decided due to concerning reports

of slayer activity in the vicinity of Wilson Hall

we are sending our old friend

to vanquish any and all Van Helsings.

We must protect the vulnerable Vampirina at all costs.

Also, the new council capes have arrived,

but unfortunately they are all extra small!

You had one job, Eugene.

One job. [hisses]
