Christmas

bells cast a spell on the world

bringing you home to me.

From across the sea You're ditching me?

Sorry, babe. Dylan finally asked me out.

Tonight I'm cashing in my lady card, but

you'll be totally fine.

Go find yourself a tall, sexy date so

those losers at school stop giving you

crap for being a virgin. Okay, I got to

go. Love you.

Hi.

Dear Santa,

all I want for Christmas is a boyfriend.

Please. Please.

Who am I kidding?

It would take more than a Christmas

miracle for me to get a boyfriend.

And look at me.

No looks,

no curves,

>> [sighs]

>> nothing fun about me.

Santa?

Oh my god.

Are you

Are you okay?

>> [sighs]

>> Well, what do you think?

I mean, I guess that's what happens when

I go making wishes to Santa. [music]

He took me down here as your present.

Is that because of me?

Well, duh.

What? Were you going to hit and run?

Sorry.

>> [sighs and gasps]

>> Sorry. I I

I'll be more gentle.

You're

the reason

I keep hitting it.

>> [music]

>> So,

Miss Thistlevale, are you ready to be my

reindeer?

Wait, huh?

How do you know my name?

Magic.

No, it's right on that student card over

there.

Can I tell you a secret?

This is my first time.

I don't really know what I'm doing.

Her first time.

Do you not

Do you not like me because I'm a virgin?

No, it's just

>> [sighs]

>> Are you sure you want your first time to

be

with me?

I'm sure.

Did he leave?

Morning, Miss Reindeer. Last night

wasn't a game to me.

If you are up for more, let's see where

this goes.

Rhett Langley.

Langley?

I slept with Rhett Langley.

The bad boy?

The mafia kid?

Oh, [ __ ] I am so dead.

Oh, nice to be to come home.

I'm sorry. There was a a Christmas party

on campus, and so I stayed late to help

clean up.

Well, I hate to dampen your social

calendar.

Your stepfather, Charles, is hosting a

dinner.

You know, to welcome us to the family.

It'll be the first time meeting him, so

I need you to be on your best behavior.

He's mafia, you know, your stepdad.

Big player, too.

Oh, and he has a son.

Think he's in junior year at your

school.

Mafia, junior year, same school.

Could it be

Rhett?

No way. This has to be a coincidence.

Rhett can't be my stepbrother.

Thistlevale,

truth is, I've known you for a while

now.

I got remarried.

You got remarried?

We just [music] buried Mom a few months

ago. WHERE'S THE GODDAMN ROOSTER SWAPPER

AT?

>> I'm telling you, not asking.

Her name is Rosemary Vale.

She's got a daughter that goes to your

school. Name's Thistle.

She's a freshman. Like I [ __ ] care. I

will never accept them. It's not your

call.

I'm planning a family [music] dinner

next Monday. Play nice, and you'll get

your credit cards back. No more busting

ass over these shitty jobs.

Not a goddamn chance [music] in hell.

But you're not quite what I pictured.

I did it. I proved myself.

Maybe they'll finally accept me.

Well, well,

here comes our virgin queen.

I'm not a virgin anymore.

I

I have a boyfriend.

Huh. Oh, sweetie, what is this? Did you

put lipstick all over yourself? So

sloppy.

Oh, [ __ ]

Is this real?

No way.

She hooked up with someone?

Did she pay for it? I didn't.

>> I guess you finally scraped enough coins

together. Congrats. You just leveled up

from a desperate virgin to hardworking

[ __ ] I feel bad for the poor bastard.

Probably had to take pills to get it up.

>> [laughter]

>> What's with the fists?

You want to hit me?

With that bony figure,

ah, baby, please. You'll knock yourself

out.

Oh, it's okay, honey. Don't worry. I can

let you go if you tell me who you slept

with.

Cat's got your tongue? Okay, then.

Tomorrow, the whole school will know

about you and your [ __ ] Mommy's going

to be so proud.

Rhett said he wants to keep this going.

So, will help me, right?

Rhett.

What?

What?

Who slept with Rhett?

>> [music]

[music]

>> You think

I've got my eyes on a [ __ ]

>> [snorts]

>> Everyone knows that Rhett and I ride

with the same motorcycle club. We're

meant to be. How dare you claim that you

slept with him? Honey, Rhett isn't the

hottest guy around. He's a mouthful of

hair. You might want to think twice

[music] about slandering him. Unless you

want to get killed.

I'm not lying. Rhett and I just didn't

Rhett and I didn't just sleep together.

We're dating.

Stupid [ __ ] I'm the only one he likes.

How dare you talk [ __ ] about my man?

>> [sighs]

>> I am Rhett's girlfriend, and he's not

going to let you treat me like this. Oh,

yeah? Let's bet on it, then. Make Rhett

admit that you're dating at the

homecoming party.

If you fail, then

you're doing a [ __ ] strip dance.

You're on.

I I would delete it right now. Give it

to me.

Huh.

This is too good to delete. Imagine how

pissed Rhett will be when he hears that

this [ __ ] was name-dropping him for

attention.

>> [laughter and snorts]

>> Who made our little reindeer cry?

Let's go.

Relax. I've got you.

I was wrong about him.

He's actually nice. Nothing like the bad

boy everyone talks about. You'll help

me, Miss Britney. Right?

Right?

Do you think my date to the homecoming

[music]

>> [singing]

>> What? I can't hear you.

Forget it.

I'll ask another time.

This is how you'll help me shake it off.

You baking a cake?

All right.

Just some tough guy with some bad temper

and no hobbies?

Is that the picture?

Is that right?

How's that taste?

He's sweet.

All right, let's [music] go.

I love teamwork.

That

the homecoming dance is in

>> [music]

>> 2 days. Would you

maybe want to

Now, sugar.

Sugar makes you happy.

It's science.

Anyway, what were you saying?

This is the first cake anyone's ever

given me.

Thank you.

I'll never forget it.

You're telling me you've never had a

birthday cake?

No one's ever thrown me a birthday party

before.

Well, then.

Every cake

needs a candle.

Go ahead.

>> [snorts]

>> She's not as bad as her mother.

She's just

her.

Mhm.

Rhett Langley, this was not part of the

plan.

Crap, curfew. Last time I came home

late, Mom was furious. I cannot screw up

again.

Um

I have to go, but um

I'll call you.

Bro, you need to see this. Someone's

spreading rumors about you.

I didn't just sleep with him. We're

We're going to start dating.

That's my boyfriend.

He's not going to let you get away with

this.

This chick's riding your clout so hard,

she's lost it.

What?

What did I say?

Figures.

She's no different from her mother after

all.

Crap, I forgot to tell Rhett about the

bet.

He baked a cake just for me.

>> [music]

>> That has to mean he wants to be with me.

Right?

Maybe he's busy.

>> [music]

>> So, why Rhett isn't here yet?

He's like

15 minutes late.

He He's probably just running late. I'll

I'll text him again. Take it easy,

Rhett's

not a gay. There's no way he would be

into someone who looks like a

12-year-old boy.

>> [laughter]

>> Dude,

you've got to see this. Britney's about

[music] to eat her alive.

Since you're so desperate for Rhett's

attention,

why don't I help you out?

No.

No, let me go.

>> [snorts]

[panting]

>> Oh my god. Look at you, all dolled up.

>> [laughter]

>> So pretty, really. Let's show everyone

how gorgeous you are.

Everyone, check this out.

Fix your eyes

on the Astor Heights top girl. They so

fail.

Look how popular you are. Unfortunately,

no matter how pathetic you look, Rhett

won't care because he only belongs to

you.

>> [laughter]

[music]

>> No way.

Rhett won't go for anyone but me.

I hate

Now, I heard someone's been spreading

rumors that I

slept with you.

Great joke.

Rhett, I need

It's showtime, liar.

Aw, don't be shy now. Show us your

charm.

Everyone,

let's give a round of applause for our

new walking sex symbol.

>> [laughter]

[music]

>> Thick sandstorm which know her sister's

fighting makes a troll.

Aw, you got tired so soon?

We should keep you going with some

carbs, eh?

Yummy.

Great. That's so much better.

But don't let her choke.

Give her something to wash it down with.

>> [laughter]

>> Why did you lie?

Is this what you wanted?

She's out of her mind. This is a gala,

not a strip club.

Something doesn't feel right. Isn't she

being forced into this?

>> [laughter]

>> Where are you even hiding? You got

nothing in there.

She looks like a stick figure. Strip

while you want, honey. No one's getting

hard.

>> [laughter]

[singing]

[singing and music]

>> Put this on. We leave now. Rhett, what

are you doing in here?

It's none of your business.

Unless you want to stay here and

continue to be made a joke.

>> [singing]

[laughter]

>> God, you're such a pain.

Rhett, she spread all these rumors about

you, and you're still protecting her?

Why? Are you crazy?

From this moment on, Thistlevale is my

toy. I decide what happens to her. NO

ONE ELSE.

NO, WAIT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHY DO YOU

treat me this way?

>> [laughter]

>> Why?

Do we have a problem?

Why would Rhett protect that [ __ ]

>> [laughter]

>> Of course he's into me.

He's just [snorts] got a better way to

torture that [ __ ]

We've got to wait and see.

Put me down.

If you weren't so goddamn stupid. You

think I want to carry you?

You humiliate me.

And then you want to play the hero?

What do you want?

I didn't want to see you getting picked

on.

>> [sighs]

>> I mean

>> [laughter]

>> sleeping with you

is [ __ ] embarrassing.

Sleeping with me?

I thought you said I was making that up.

Is messing with me your idea of fun,

Rhett?

Well, it's definitely [music] been

entertaining.

You're an [ __ ]

I hope I never [music] see you again.

>> [music]

>> Well, I'm sorry to disappoint.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing each

other very soon.

Now, remember, I need you on your best

behavior. [music] Don't go embarrassing

me in front of your stepfather and

stepbrother.

>> [music]

>> Finally, honey.

I hope the trip wasn't too exhausting.

It was fine. Thank you.

Ah, and you must be Thistle.

Welcome to our home. Thank you.

I'm Charles Langley.

Let me introduce you to my son.

Oh, hello, Thistle.

It's good to see you again.

You two know each other? No.

What is it? You know each other or you

don't?

Well, what do you say, dear sis? Shall I

give him the full play-by-play of how we

met?

Freshman orientation. We

we barely talked. That's it.

Well, that was unimpressive.

Ah, my memory's failing me. Of course,

you guys go to the same university. So,

it makes sense that you would have

crossed paths.

Rhett,

I'd like to introduce you to your

stepmother,

Rosemary.

It's fine. These things they take time.

Wonder how long this little family

dinner would last if they find out we

slept together.

Thistle,

how could you be so careless?

It's fine. It's just a little slip.

Besides, come on. Dinner's ready.

He doesn't want me or my mom here. What

if he spills about that night?

Did you know I think about you?

Did you know I [singing] still care?

Even though we've been drifting apart

lately.

Even though I'm [singing] never there.

Your behavior tonight was unacceptable.

Oh, please.

I showed up. That's already far more

than you deserve. What?

Want me to smile, too? Keep dreaming.

They are your family.

Family, Charles?

How much have you had to drink?

Disrespect me

if you must.

But you will start to respect [music]

your stepmother and stepsister.

You want me to bond with my new sister?

[music]

Fine.

Because you're asking so nicely,

I'll give her the proper attention she

deserves.

I need to talk to him.

Clear the air.

But

can we talk?

Talk?

Dressed like this?

What's the plan now, Thistle?

You going to ambush me like you did on

Christmas?

Ambush? That's not what I meant. I Save

it. You went around campus calling me

your boyfriend. This is exactly what you

wanted. And now you think I'm going to

fall for the innocent act twice?

Act? I don't That's not what happened. I

>> [panting]

>> I underestimated you.

Fine.

If you play these games,

I'll play them.

But stop.

Scream a louder. Maybe let Charles and

your mom know exactly what we're doing

in here.

You think I actually want to touch you?

Girls like you make me sick.

Rhett, wait.

What now?

Did you know that Charles and my mom

were married this whole time?

And you didn't?

I just found out today. What a liar.

Please, please don't tell Charles and my

mom about us. I

I just want them to be happy. It would

ruin their marriage.

Their divorce suits me just fine.

Look, I know you hate me.

But I will stay out of your way. I won't

touch your inheritance. I just want my

mom to be happy. Please don't take this

from her.

And since when did I care about your

mom? You want me to be silent?

Then how about you start being real with

me?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe I could use that beautiful mouth

of yours.

You know, last time

last time wasn't so bad.

I could

If you say anything, I'll deny it.

I'll tell Charles you're trying to ruin

his marriage, and who do you think he'll

believe?

His perfect stepdaughter or the son

who's [ __ ] up his whole life?

And there it is.

The conniving fool under all this fake

innocence.

Why won't it open?

>> [music]

>> Rhett?

Are you up? I brought you breakfast.

>> You can relax. I don't sleep with

corpses.

Rhett.

I brought you breakfast.

Crap.

She can't see me in here. Rhett?

>> [snorts]

>> Now it would be fun to let your mom see

you like this.

Bedroom, yes. Perfect.

Please.

You're such a bore.

Oh.

You are here. I thought you'd sleep in

and miss breakfast, so I brought

breakfast to you.

Thank you.

The closet door is

left open.

I don't like people touching my stuff.

Of course. Yeah.

Leave it to it.

You can come out now.

One night in my bed and now you're

falling all over me. Be [clears throat]

careful, sis. Your mom might think you

like it in here.

Get on.

I can get myself to campus. Thanks.

Charles' orders.

>> [music]

>> You don't like it? You can go tell him

yourself.

You did that on purpose.

And what if I did?

You? You gave her a ride?

Dude, you just carried her out in front

of everyone yesterday. God. Are you

seriously interested in her?

Me?

Interested in her? Don't be [ __ ]

stupid.

Charles got remarried. She's

she's his shiny new wife's daughter.

What?

Man, those two are really something. The

daughter milks your fame while the

mother climbs your father's bed trying

to replace your mom.

So,

what are you going to do about them?

What if

what if Charles found his son in bed

with his new wife's daughter?

I bet that wipe the smile off his face.

You can't be serious.

Oh, I'm serious.

I'm dead [ __ ] serious.

I'm going to make her fall for me. And

then I'm going to use her as a weapon to

take down Charles.

Look at Thistle. [laughter]

Oh my god. She's such a [ __ ]

Well, well.

Here comes our campus traitor. We were

just admiring your little performance

from yesterday. So sexy.

It's okay, Thistle. Just bear it. Don't

fight back. Just

don't make trouble for mom. What's the

plan on hooking Thistle?

>> [music]

>> Got a strategy?

Easy.

She just wants the spotlight.

Girls like that cry for attention.

Throw a little money their way and they

will come running.

Problem is

your dad froze your accounts. No cash.

No show.

No doubt.

That's definitely a problem.

There's more

bad news.

Your old nemesis, Elias is back.

If he hadn't cut in 3 years ago

you and Olivia would still be together.

Playing dumb, [ __ ] Too good to answer

me now?

That's you. Such a pity.

The [ __ ]

Oh my gosh.

It's Elias, the only reason I ever bit

Rhett. Touch Thistle again and I swear

the next set of tire tracks will be

across your face. Now get lost.

So,

I'm back.

Hey, look at Thistle.

Oh, we were right here.

Your face looks like a melted cheese

with a mustache.

Hey. I'm Theron and I'm Theron.

I'm Elias. Don't be scared. I'll protect

you, Thistle.

So, why were these people messing with

you back there?

You've seen me.

You know why.

It's fine. I'm used to it.

>> Hey, hey, hey. Don't listen to them,

okay? You're beautiful.

What are you doing here? I

I I thought you were in the army.

I'm out. Honorable discharge.

Starting fresh. I'm actually coming here

next semester, so

looks like I'll be looking after you

just like old times.

>> [music]

>> Still wearing my shirt while you throw

yourself on another guy?

Still wearing my shirt, throw yourself

on another guy. You two?

It's not what it looks like.

My mom married his dad. We're just

step siblings.

Step siblings who share a bed.

Shut up. It was an accident. A mistake.

I don't think it

She's mine. If you ever think about

making a move again

I'll end you.

3 years, Rhett, and you're still the

same arrogant piece of [ __ ]

I don't know what Olivia ever saw in

you.

I'm sorry. All these years and I still

can't forget Rhett.

We're over.

A hunting game, huh?

Fine.

Let's play.

I love watching history repeat itself.

You're going down, Rhett.

The hell?

Why did you kiss me in front of Elias?

What is your relationship with him?

That's none of your business.

Oh, that is funny.

You had no problem making me your

business when you crawled into my bed.

When you were devouring me inch by inch.

But now

>> [music]

>> now it's none of my business?

Friends.

Elias and I are just friends.

Friends? You saw the way you freaked out

back there.

That looked far more like an ex to me.

Fine.

It's true. In the past, maybe I had

feelings for Elias. It's all in the past

now. Otherwise

I never would have would have lost my

head over you.

Let myself imagine being with you.

Used to?

[ __ ]

You're still hung up on him, aren't you?

I don't give a [ __ ] about you both.

Having another guy in your head while

you're spread out on mine.

So much for the sweet little angel act.

Care if I like Elias or not. What the

hell are you losing your mind over?

Don't tell me cuz

it's ju-

you're

you like me?

Yeah.

I think I'm falling for you.

Are you

are you insane?

You've done way more than kiss,

princess. Why so shy now?

My offer still stands.

What do you say?

Be mine. Say yes. Be mine to use. The

perfect little weapon to tear Charles

and Rosemary apart.

Oh. This is another one of your games,

isn't it, you [ __ ]

You better get ready, babe. I am not

done chasing you.

>> It's been a week, bro, [music] and

nothing?

I'm starting to wonder if she's even

that shallow.

Like, why does she keep avoiding you

like the damn plague every time you give

her something?

>> [music]

>> Maybe that's just it.

A game.

Play hard to get.

Make you chase.

Girls like that live for the attention.

You've got to step it up, bro.

That [ __ ] Elias has been all over

Thistle lately. You can't let him out,

do you?

Brittany.

>> [laughter]

>> Aw.

Well, well.

If it isn't my bastard Thistle. You must

feel like a queen bee now, having two

hottest boys on campus fighting for you.

I heard that you are really good with

cameras. Why you hide behind a lens

when you can become a star?

How about a little sexy photo shoot just

for you?

>> [laughter]

>> Please stop. Oh, relax. I'll see you

later when it goes viral. How about

[snorts]

this caption?

The porn star of photography 101.

Mm.

Strip her.

Please don't Please don't do that.

Please

stop.

NO.

>> [music]

>> PLEASE DON'T. PLEASE.

NO.

PLEASE DON'T. PLEASE. UGH, STOP WHINING.

It's just fabric, not your skin.

Here, let me help you out with this.

No.

Please don't. Stop.

Please don't. Please.

Please

Stop. WHO [laughter] THE

GET THE [ __ ] out of here.

Now is my chance. She is cornered.

She has no choice.

I can end this right now.

Make them regret ever touching you. All

you have to do

is kiss me.

Right here

in front of everyone.

And say you're mine.

What the hell is he saying to her? How

the [ __ ] should I know?

So,

what's it going to be?

All you and I will ever be

is brother and sister.

Think this through.

I can make this whole school worship

you.

You'd be the campus queen. Wasn't that

what

you wanted from me?

If there's even the slightest chance

of hurting my mom or Charles, I won't be

a part of it.

And even if it didn't concern them,

I would never be with someone like you.

Someone who thinks love is a game.

So, who you going to be with then?

Elias? I don't know, but I know it's not

you.

I guess I've been wasting my time then.

Go ahead. Keep playing with your little

friends.

So, Red,

can we keep going? Do whatever you want.

It's not my problem.

You know what?

I just thought of something way more

fun.

>> [laughter]

>> Oh my god, are Are you okay?

What the hell was that? Is he actually

into her?

Please. His dad married her mom. It's

family politics.

Brett hates fake-ass clout chasers like

Thistle. And she's the one for bragging

her stepbrother to sleep with her.

Cruels.

Change your ration twice a day.

You already left.

Why come back for me?

How many times now?

What? Besides the gala,

how many times have they done this to

you?

Not that many.

Look, about today, can you

can you maybe not tell my mom? I just

don't want her to worry, you know.

Wait, your

your bandages

Eric, find out about Thistle's life here

at school.

I want everything.

What do you want? You're back. You can't

reach it. I thought I'd

help you dress your wounds. I'm fine.

You got hurt saving me. The least I can

do is try and help. Help? What sort of

help?

Oh.

Rubbing cream on my back?

You'll have to try harder than that.

What are you doing?

You said you want to help.

>> [music]

>> Sorry, does it Does it hurt? Oh.

I'll be gentle.

It's not the pain. It's

You just hurry up.

>> Yeah, sorry. Uh

okay Okay, I'm done.

Wait. What's holding you?

>> [music]

>> You were right. Thistle's been bullied

for years. It's worse than you thought.

And I found a video. I know you thought

she was using you by claiming you were

her boyfriend, but there's more to it.

Brittany sliced those videos and twisted

the whole story, then paid trolls to

spread it. She destroyed Thistle's

reputation.

God.

I got her all wrong.

Why are we at Cole's out here this late?

He took that [ __ ] from me in front of

everyone yesterday.

This is just his way of making it up to

me, Offie.

Brett, did you call for me?

Strip.

What? Did I stutter?

You like dancing half naked so much.

Here's your stage.

No. Not Not in front of them.

Oh, come on. The crowd?

I think it makes it so much more fun.

But I Let's help them out.

No.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, CHARLES? WHAT

DID WE DO TO YOU? Didn't you do the same

to Thistle when you made her dance half

naked while you laughed your asses off?

It seems someone doesn't like the taste

of their own medicine. You're doing this

all FOR THISTLE?

AND YOU'RE THROWING ME AWAY FOR SOME FOR

SOME [ __ ] YOU BARELY KNOW?

BRITTANY,

in my eyes, you've always meant nothing.

No.

>> [laughter]

>> My choice.

Go on.

Entertain your little friends. Charles,

don't you [ __ ] do it.

Choice.

What?

>> If I keep going, they're going to die.

Look, I've done what you asked. Just

let me go.

Let you go?

Sure, I'm sorry.

I should have never touched Thistle.

You're not sorry. You're just scared.

So, from now on, let's make sure you're

[ __ ] silent.

Listen up.

Thistle is my bottom line. Anyone who

crosses it pays in blood.

Thistle,

this is all on you.

Next time we cross paths, one of us

isn't making out alive. You will pay for

this

10 times over.

Thistle?

Thistle?

Have you seen Thistle?

Miss Thistle went out with a boy from

school. Said they were picking out a

dress for tonight's dance.

>> [sighs and gasps]

>> Thank you.

>> [music]

>> So,

what do you think?

How about this one?

It's not really my style, either. It

doesn't hurt to try.

Trust me, you'll be turning heads

tonight.

Okay.

I heard you taught Britney a hard

lesson. What happened?

Hey, let me guess. It was because of

Thistle, huh? You finally stood up for

her.

Holy [ __ ]

You're actually into her. The same girl

you're using to get to your dad.

Not anymore. Why? I mean,

what do you even see in that little gold

digger? God, that face? She doesn't even

compare to

Wait.

Oh, [ __ ]

Wait, is that

[singing]

[singing]

[music]

>> No way. Is that Thistle?

Ugly dot.

Man, if I knew she was hot like this, I

would have made a move long ago.

All right, man.

I admit it. You

have got a good eye. Forget what I said.

She is amazing.

You kidding?

What a [ __ ] jerk.

Come on, man. Go and take back what's

yours.

Elias, I don't know if I can.

There's a first time for everything.

Trust me, you'll be fine.

I think I need to change my shoes. These

heels are killing me. I guess it went

with the dress. Don't let her say

anything about her pain for some beauty.

I want to see her get hurt more.

You [ __ ] deaf?

Are you [ __ ] deaf?

She's not wearing those heels.

You okay?

What are you doing? Just stay still.

She's here with me.

Not anymore.

>> [singing]

[music]

[singing]

[singing]

>> My shoes.

Stop. Where are we going?

It's It's honestly fine, Brett. I got

it. I said stay still.

Doesn't look pretty. Thank you.

Thistle.

If you can't handle heels, why are you

putting yourself through it for him?

He said they made me look pretty.

And honestly,

he's right. I got so much attention

today. Attention?

>> [music]

>> From those fake [ __ ] who only care

about appearances.

Elias doesn't give a [ __ ] about you.

He just wants you to play the part. He

is just [music] a manipulative Don't

talk about him like that.

You're defending him?

Elias just wants me to be better.

You have always had it easy, Brett.

You have never been humiliated or

laughed at, never been isolated. You

don't get it, and you

you never will.

Thistle. It's just pain. And if it buys

me a little bit of respect,

even if it's fake, yeah, that's worth it

to me.

Just one more nudge, and she'll crawl

right into my trap.

Predictable little fool. Thistle, I

>> No, I I'm going back to the dance.

I'm fine.

Come on, Thistle.

Elias, what what's going on? Are you you

okay? Yeah, I think this

hit me a bit harder than I thought.

I think my head's spinning. Look, I

think you need to go home. It's okay. I

I will help you.

Here you go.

I am so sorry. Did I hurt you? I did I

didn't mean to. I'm so clumsy. I'm

sorry. I'm going to get you some honey

water. It helps with the hangover.

I'm playing her, and she still cares so

much.

So naive, and yet

so kind.

Fine.

I'll let you off the hook this time.

Hello.

Where were you last night? Brett?

Thistle?

Thistle.

Is that Elias? Don't tell me you spent

the night with him.

Is that Elias? Don't tell me you spent

the night with him.

Hey, you're up. Just in time. I made

breakfast.

I swear,

if you lay a finger on her,

I'll kill you.

I uh

thought you left already.

You drank quite a bit. I figured you

could maybe use someone to take care of

you.

Why are you so good to me?

Because you've always been good to me.

You should [music] rest. I'm going to

get going.

>> Thistle.

I think I'm falling for you.

>> [snorts]

>> What do you say? You want to give us a

shot?

Rat!

Stay the hell away from her.

I warned you. Rat, stop.

You have a [ __ ] death wish? I swear

to God, I can make it COME TRUE. RAT,

STOP, PLEASE.

ELIAS, are you okay?

What I did

has absolutely nothing to do with you.

You don't own me. I'm not going to let

you get screwed over. You think this guy

actually gives a [ __ ] about you? He is

going to hurt you.

>> Why? Because I'm not good enough to be

loved?

Why? Because I'm not good enough to be

loved?

And hurt me?

Hurt me? Really? That is rich coming

from you because who do you think has

hurt me more than anyone else?

You.

Over and over at school and at home. You

humiliate me. And you treat me like

trash and you you It's a lie.

>> No. I don't want to hear it. You need to

go.

Right now.

I'm sorry that that was

all my fault.

>> It's It's not your fault.

I knew I'd have to face him eventually

if I wanted to be with you.

You don't have to answer me right now,

but

I just want you to know how I feel.

Thistle, I think I'm falling for you.

>> [music]

>> Should I say yes to Elias?

I think I'm falling for you.

No, it's just a game to Rat. Don't fall

for it. So, you have

always just wanted to be loved by

somebody. You No reason to say no to

Elias.

So,

she's your arm candy? You even dressed

her up like me with my favorite brand?

You think you can replace me with her?

You good?

Are you hurt? Why? Why is it always me?

Why does no one ever actually love me?

They just want to use me. I don't

understand. What is it about me? Stop

doing [music] this to yourself, Thistle.

You want people to love you so badly,

but do you even love yourself?

>> [snorts]

>> You're not the world says you are.

You're so much more.

Those people who try to hurt you,

they're the ones that are weak.

And even if the world turns its back on

you,

it doesn't matter

because you fight for yourself.

If you don't like them,

it's time you cut them out

along with all the moments you portrayed

yourself to please others.

Just say what you hate.

Refuse what you don't want. Admit when

it hurts.

If you're attacked, you're going to

fight back. From now on, Thistle, you're

going to fight your own fights.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> We should be doing this,

but now we're stuck [music] in the

[ __ ] hospital

because she had to snitch. And now she's

in the damn center of attention. You're

so right. [music]

She's on my throne, my spotlight,

and my Rat.

I'm going to strip her down,

destroy her face, and make sure she

never steps foot in this house ever

again.

What was that

you just said about stripping Britney?

Is that really all you got?

I mean, I guess it's true.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

You can't. How dare you talk to me like

that?

Wasn't I supposed to be the weak one?

What's it like

>> [music]

>> getting your ass handed to you by the

campus pushover?

Pretty embarrassing, huh?

Holy [ __ ] He's a person.

The storm hit Let these girls walk over

here. She looks completely different.

What's it like

getting stepped on? Is it everything you

imagined it would be?

Good thing you found out what happened

to Thistle in time. I'm sorry I

misjudged her.

Tell me to go and handle it. No.

Watch Thistle take control and handle it

herself.

That, my friend, is the real show.

Thistle?

Thistle?

What are you wearing? [music]

What? Is it not perfect and new enough?

>> [music]

>> I'm sorry to disappoint, but

I like it.

>> [music]

>> I like me.

Listen up,

everybody.

From now onward, I will not be taking

[ __ ] from anyone. So,

if you want to [ __ ] with me,

go ahead, try it. I dare you.

You're so dumb, Thistle. I swear, I'M

GOING TO GET YOU EXPELLED. JUST WAIT.

>> [laughter]

>> THISTLE.

THISTLE, SWEETHEART, what is this?

You're dressing like trash and now

you're assaulting your classmates?

Trash?

You better get used to it because I am

done being your little puppet. What did

you say, young lady?

Miss Vail, that's enough. We have zero

tolerance for bullish.

Thistle,

you are suspended. Zero tolerance?

Then maybe [music] you should start with

the bullying of police.

You hurt?

Take a good look.

Who's the bullies now?

Given the explanation of these videos,

Britney, Harper, you are suspended

pending further investigation. I'm

sorry, but that is not enough.

Get me Graham Taylor and Damian Miller.

Tell them that thanks to [music] their

wonderful daughters,

they can start to claim for bankruptcy.

Because of you two, your families

[music]

are ruined. Rat, we messed up. It was

stupid. We didn't mean it.

No. If my dad find out,

he'll kill me. I'm begging you.

And did you ever consider listening when

Thistle begged you to stop? [music]

No.

You

are done.

Why didn't you fight back? Why didn't

you come to me?

Why didn't I fight back?

Why didn't I tell you?

In high school, when I was falsely

accused of stealing, I did fight back. I

did try and tell you, and you humiliated

me and slapped me in front of everybody.

You called me worthless.

You said I was just as bad as my father.

That was the day that I realized the

more I fight back,

the more you despise me. But I'm not my

dad.

And I don't want to be a punching bag

for his mistakes anymore.

Thank you.

For saving me again.

Thistle,

I don't want your gratitude.

What I want

What I want [snorts] is you.

Are you still mad at me for denying what

we had?

Thistle, please. I can explain. I No.

We're siblings.

We're not even related.

I don't understand what the big deal is.

Please,

don't tell me you feel nothing for me.

I don't.

Thistle,

look me in the eyes and tell me you

don't want this.

Say it and I'll walk away for good.

Thistle.

You already knew about Olivia, didn't

you?

So, what if she does?

It's not your problem now.

>> [music]

>> You told her, didn't you? You [ __ ]

[snorts] snake.

You don't know, do you?

She's no better than me.

We've known each other for years.

Back when Olivia was still his

girlfriend.

Thistle, please. That was long before I

met you. I I admit At first, I had an

agenda.

Somewhere along the line,

I really did fall for you.

Please, just give me another chance. No.

She cannot.

>> Hey, you don't get to decide for her.

Stop. Enough.

ELIAS, THERE ARE SOME things that just

don't rewind.

And we're one of them.

It's always you, Rhett. Always stealing

away what's almost mine. Not this time.

This time, you won't get away with it.

Thistle,

if it's over with Elias, then

>> Then it's twice as over with us.

Stop wasting your time.

Rhett, there are too many walls between

us.

Family, society, the whole world will

judge. Even if I didn't care about all

that, your heart is the one gamble I

will never take.

That's what I live for.

Turning the impossible into the

inevitable. You just wait, Thistle. I'll

make you believe in us.

Race me. Loser walks away for good.

Why would I race a man that I've

[clears throat] already beaten?

Cuz if you don't, [snorts]

I'll tell your dad and her mom

everything about the two of you.

And you think I care?

Maybe you don't.

But Thistle,

do you really think she'll survive the

fallout?

>> [music]

>> Thistle, Rhett and Elias, they're racing

for blood over you on Serpent's Spine,

the deadliest road in the state. You got

to get over there.

Please.

What the hell, stop. You what are your

goddamn minds? I'm not your [ __ ]

prize.

Thistle,

this race has nothing to [music] do with

you.

It's between me

and him.

This ends tonight.

Brody,

get her out of here.

Don't you dare.

>> [singing]

[music]

[music]

>> Do you want to win?

Those are practically out there killing

themselves for you. So, tell me,

Thistle, who does your heart belong to?

>> [music]

>> Sorry, Rhett. I have to beat you, no

matter the [music] cost.

Oh, no.

Rhett's losing ground.

You already know who you want to win.

You already know who you like. Why can't

you just admit you like Rhett?

>> Fine, I like him, but that doesn't mean

it'll work out. It's complicated. The

feelings are real, no?

Isn't that enough?

Goddammit, it's the throttle.

Rhett's catching up.

>> [screaming]

>> RHETT!

RHETT, WHERE ARE YOU?

PLEASE GOD, DON'T TAKE him away from me.

Rhett!

Rhett! Rhett!

Where are you?

Rhett!

Rhett!

Wake up. Please God, don't take him from

me.

I need you to wake up, okay? Okay,

because you you said you wanted me,

right?

Well, I want you, too.

So, wake up and take me and all yours,

okay?

>> [cough]

[panting]

[sighs]

>> There's someone out there.

Finally, found you guys.

>> [music]

[snorts]

>> Rhett, you're awake.

The doctor said you have a severe

concussion, so you really need to rest,

okay?

Mom and Charles were here earlier, but

the doctor said you were stable, so I

sent them home to rest.

Do you feel pain anywhere?

Okay, let me get the doctor.

The doctor can't fix this, Thistle.

I don't think you can.

No,

you

you need to rest.

You can't be moving around like this.

I'm not going to move.

That reminds me, you are absolutely

unbelievable.

You saw the cliff and then you went for

it anyway.

And what was the alternative?

Watching you die?

Something was definitely off with the

bike.

It was Elias.

Thistle, I'm so sorry. I just I just

really wanted to beat him.

You know,

I didn't think he would get hurt, like

You have to know, he

he really does care about you.

He only raced because I threatened to

tell Rosemary and Charles about you,

too.

I'm sorry. I just

Okay, he was just protecting you.

He came by when you were out and

confessed to rigging your

Of [snorts] course it was.

Thank you, Rhett.

For what?

It's just my choice.

But tell me, Thistle,

when you ran out on those tracks,

was it because you loved me so much?

Don't flatter yourself.

It was Brittany. She [music] shoved me.

Don't worry. She's in police custody.

That girl is like a curse. I swear to

God, I should have just

Forget it.

Rhett.

>> [sighs]

>> This all

Does this mean

we're official?

I have to figure out how to tell my mom,

so

Yes, but until then we have to keep it a

secret, okay?

Secret romance

sounds hot.

I like it.

>> [snorts]

>> How did you get in here?

I knew you hadn't forgotten me.

Otherwise

why wouldn't you change the locks?

>> [sighs and gasps]

>> I had better things to do with my time.

Now tell me

why are you here?

>> [snorts]

>> I love you, Red. Let's get back

together. The moment you chose Elias

it was over.

It was a mistake.

I went to Elias just to make you feel

jealous.

I didn't know that you would actually

leave me.

>> [sighs]

>> I know you're too proud to come back to

me. So

I'll come back to you. [music]

I'll do anything. We

are over, Liv.

I have a girlfriend now.

Now get out.

>> [cough]

[clears throat]

>> What did you just give me?

It's

a little something to losing you. Oh.

Come on, baby.

Don't fight it. Just like in old times.

What the [ __ ] are you doing?

Red

let me help you.

I can make you feel good.

You make

me sick.

Sick?

Being sick is [music] better than being

nothing at all.

You know

this is not just a regular pill.

It will burn you alive. You won't be

able to resist me.

Are you crazy, Red? You've been hurting

yourself than touch me.

Don't scream.

It's me.

>> [clears throat]

>> Red, you like you you're bleeding. What

happened?

I have to help.

>> [panting and gasps]

>> I'm burning up like crazy.

>> [music]

>> What was that last night?

Were you drugged?

It was Olivia.

She came to me last night. She wanted to

get back together.

What did you say?

Did you hear me?

She didn't get the message last night.

I should make it clearer.

What are you doing? Stop.

One last thing, [ __ ]

Leave Red [music]

and I might

let you walk away in one piece.

No chance in hell.

Those pretty eyes.

That's the only thing on your face

that's half worth looking at.

Keep it up

and I will cut them right out.

Fine.

So be it.

Red!

Are you hurt?

No, but your hand.

You'd go that far for her? She doesn't

deserve you.

Touch her again and this GOES BETWEEN

YOUR [ __ ] EYES.

You did this [music] to yourself, Red.

>> [sighs]

>> Hi. Is this Rosemary Vale? Yes.

I have a little secret you might want to

hear about your daughter [music] and

stepson.

Good night.

My room tonight?

We can't keep doing this here. What if

what if Mom and Charles find out? Just

one more kiss.

Olivia was right.

Mom!

Rosemary.

>> Mom!

Rosemary.

She's stable, but her heart is weak. So

no more shocks or stress.

You can go in.

Woah.

You two are the last people she wants to

see right now.

>> [panting]

>> They're going to be okay.

What if

what if Charles found his son in bed

with his new wife's daughter? I bet that

would put a smile on his face. You can't

be serious.

Oh

I am dead serious.

I'm going to make her fall for me

and then I'm going to use her as my

weapon to take down Charles.

Was this your plan all along?

To watch my [music] mom collapse

and have me fall for you like a [ __ ]

idiot. Did you enjoy the show?

This all That's not what happened. Just

give me a moment.

We're done.

This all Wait.

>> [ __ ] touch me.

I never want to see you [music] again.

I [ __ ] up, man. Olivia cornered me the

other night and I let the old [music]

plan slip. She must have pulled the

cameras at the entrance and twisted it

into that damn tape. That's enough, man.

Yell at me. Break my [ __ ] nose if

that helps. This shit's on me, not on

you.

Red

stop torturing yourself.

Come back to me.

I'll make it good.

>> [snorts]

>> Listen closely, Olivia.

If it isn't This all

it's

no one.

>> Yeah?

If she's all you want,

then she gets to

die for it.

>> [music]

>> Olivia, I swear to god, if you touch her

I'll

>> What happened to Thistle? Thistle's been

kidnapped.

Olivia has her.

Kidnapped? I have to get her. I have to

go. Calm down. I'll send my people over

right now. No.

Olivia said I have to go alone.

She'll kill Thistle.

Finally,

sleeping beauty wakes. You're crazy. Let

me go.

Let you go?

I hate you too much for that.

You're crazy. Let me go.

If it was If it wasn't for you,

Wyatt would have never left me. She's

the one who sent me that video.

She knows Wyatt never loved me.

He's just using me.

Whether he used you or he loved you,

we'll know the answer soon enough.

What do you mean?

He's here.

Thistle.

What do you want?

Well,

you see this bottle of wine?

I poisoned it.

This glass, too. Didn't you say that

she's your whole world?

Perfect.

Touch her and I'll [ __ ] kill you.

You think I'm planning getting out of

here alive?

You shouldn't. And my boys will carve

her up before I even hit the ground.

Well,

there is another way to save her. Don't.

All of my life,

I liked something and I took it.

And if I didn't,

I destroyed it.

If you want to save her,

drink the poison for her.

A life

for a life.

Good luck with that.

He never loved me. He would never do

this.

>> If I drink it,

will you let her go?

Yes.

Don't.

Are you crazy?

I still owe you an explanation,

Thistle.

The truth is,

I'm worse than you think. From the

moment I met you, I planned to use you

to destroy Charles and Rosemary's

marriage. [music]

I was convinced

that your mom was a fake. You were

You were no different.

And then I saw those videos of you

bragging and I I was convinced

I

I [sighs] was so wrong.

You are nothing like I thought. You were

so kind, so real, so beautiful.

Somewhere along the lines, I

fell in love with you.

I love you,

Thistle. I

really do.

I thought if I buried the plan, you'd

never find out.

But every mistake has a price.

And this is mine to pay. I forgive YOU.

I FORGIVE YOU. DON'T DO IT. JUST RUN.

LEAVE. GET OUT OF HERE, PLEASE. But

Thistle,

please believe it when I say this,

I

love you.

Thistle, spit it out. Please, spit it

out.

>> No.

If we die, we die together.

I was

I completely lost.

Take her away.

There was no poison.

I [snorts] just wanted to see how much

you loved her.

Now I understand.

There's no way that we can get back.

Get rid of her now.

Look, I know you hate me because of your

mother.

But she's not the saint that you think

she is. Rosemary and I,

we were childhood sweethearts.

And then your mother came along.

Used the family's power to try and tear

us apart.

She even paid Thistle's mother. Wait.

What are you saying?

Rosemary and I lost decades.

Spent years trying to fight through the

lies and pain to find our way back where

we are now.

Look, you two are still young.

You've got your whole lives ahead of

you.

Even if you do decide to spit on the

world's judgment,

how can you be sure if this is true

love? Charles, stop.

We lived the heartbreak. We have the

scars.

We, better than anyone, know that what

matters now

isn't forever. It's the now.

And their happiness is most important.

>> [music]

>> I'll send one of you abroad. And if

after 5 years,

you still love each other,

>> [music]

>> then I won't stand in your way.

Wow, these shots are fire. Thistle

Mayall is the best. Of course. She just

won API's Photographer of the Year.

You want the camera back? No, it's okay.

You take it with you.

Great work, everyone. Thank you so much.

Enjoy your Christmas. See you later.

Finally done?

Here.

It's hot. Here.

Look, Thistle,

it's been 5 years.

You really still waiting for Wyatt?

Like,

when are you going to give someone else

a chance?

Someone else? You mean

like you?

Elias, you will always be one of my best

friends.

Can I walk you home, at least?

I I think I'd rather walk home alone

tonight.

Merry Christmas, Thistle.

Merry Christmas, Elias.

Dear Santa,

this year

I wish is
