So just sign here and let me know if you have any questions.

Great.

A little early for ruining my life.

Honey, change can be good.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Privately?

Please don't sign anything.

Please, we can talk about this.

Mom, please.

All right.

Let's talk after school.

Thank you.

No breakfast?

Can't. Early dance team meeting.

Right,

so just make sure you sleep.

all right thank you girls for showing up

early we got some important things to discuss though

Our goal this year was to qualify for regionals, right?

Isn't that what we all decided?

Right? Together as a team?

Well, I don't see that happening. Not with the behavior that's been going on.

I mean, Bell and Simone, y'all are our captains and you've been completely MIA.

Sorry, coach.

I just got a lot on my plate.

Same.

And Poppy, what about you?

You've missed so many practices that let me know in advance.

The team counts on you.

And the only one showing up consistently is Harmony, and she's... she's been

really distracted.

I just feel like there's been a huge energy shift since we started pushing

for regionals.

You've been, like, super intense lately, Coach Coop, and I know your mood is in

Scorpio, but jeez.

Okay, but if you guys want to qualify for regionals, then there has to be a

certain level of commitment.

So I guess what I'm asking you guys is, are you ready to commit or not?

Honestly, Coach Coop?

The aura of this team used to be a happy yellow.

Now it's an angry red and it's taking a toll on my psyche.

Okay, you can't use that aura stuff as to why you're not committed to the team.

Well, don't worry.

You won't have to deal with it anymore.

I quit.

Does anyone else agree with Poppy's sentiment?

Um, I guess I have been kind of feeling this way.

I love this team, but I have been feeling kind of overwhelmed with running

this new business.

I just think I need a break from dance.

You guys, are you serious?

Sorry, Harmony.

I've got a lot going on. And Poppy's right.

This has been starting to feel kind of intense.

Everyone has a lot going on.

Quitting dance isn't the answer.

So that's it then?

You're all just quitting?

Sorry, Coach.

Harmony, can you maybe try to talk to them?

Like, change their mind or something?

I'll try my best.

That's why you're my number one.

So, you all quit?

Yeah. Everyone except Harmony. You love dance, though.

Yeah, but I need to focus on other things.

Like us.

Did you maybe want to grab ice cream later and maybe watch a movie and

cuddle? Doesn't that sound nice?

Yeah, that sounds really nice. Great.

It's a date then. I'll pick you up by your locker at three.

But I have an appeal meeting after school.

Isn't Emerson going to be there?

Well, yeah, but I thought you made your choice.

I did.

I'll talk to Margo about it.

Thanks.

So for the most part, everyone did really well on the quiz.

I was very happy to see how much you all studied.

Whoa, I got a better grade than you?

Mr. Collins probably made a mistake.

You should talk to him after class.

Claire?

Listen, it's not a big deal. I didn't really study, so I'm actually surprised

I managed to get a B+.

Claire, this is the second time I've seen you on your phone during class.

Oh, no, no, I wasn't.

Hand it over.

You can have your phone back after school.

So this morning was kind of crazy, right?

I feel pretty good about it.

Really? Because you guys love dancing and you put blood, sweat, and tears into

it. You just can't quit now.

If my hat business wasn't taking off, you'd know I'd be their harm. I just

can't do both.

Simone?

I need to focus on my relationship with Layla.

What if my parents sell the house?

This could be our last chance to dance together.

I need this.

Sorry, Harmony, but I think we've all made up our minds.

Talk to you about something?

The meeting's about to start.

It's important.

Can it wait?

Um, well... Alright, I have the list of

assignments for this week based on some of the pitches sent in.

Elliot, you'll do a piece on Claire Fitzroy stepping down as student body

president. Sam, you'll do a follow-up piece on the soccer team and the Crown

Lake game coming up in a few weeks. And Layla and Emerson...

You'll do a piece together on Junior's closing.

Hey, Margo.

I was actually hoping I could do the piece on Claire since she's a friend.

Conflict of interest.

We need someone unbiased to do it.

How about a follow-up on Belle's happiness?

Can I talk to you outside for a minute?

What's going on?

I've been giving you exactly what you want, a big story, and you get to work

with Emerson.

I can't work with Emerson anymore.

I told Simone I wouldn't.

Wouldn't work on the appeal anymore?

Because you're going to have to deal with Emerson whether or not you do the

story with them.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Is there, like, any way I can kind of work on my own stories and be less

involved in the day-to-day stuff?

I don't really see that working.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Well, I guess you have a choice to make.

Claire, wait up.

Hey. Did you get your phone back?

Yep.

That was pretty crazy.

Mr. Collins is so annoying.

I guess.

It's just really unlike you.

Getting a B plus and texting during class.

Yeah, well, this is the new me.

Well, I like the old you.

I didn't. I was stressed all the time. I just did homework and studied every day.

All I cared about were grades.

I wasn't happy.

You weren't happy at all?

No, not really.

Even when we were together?

Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that. No, I get it.

Have fun with this new version of yourself.

So I talked to Margo.

So? She pretty much said I can't completely avoid Emerson and still be on

the appeal.

That's so stupid. You can easily do your own stories.

Yeah, but Margot said no.

So, I either have to put up with Emerson from time to time, or quit the appeal.

Wait, this is kind of great.

I just quit the dance team, and if you quit the appeal, we'll have so much time

to spend together.

It's kind of perfect.

Trust me, I'm way more fun than the Attaway appeal.

Hey hun, ready to talk?

We got a really good offer today and your father and I think we should take

it. I changed my mind.

I don't care if we move anymore.

I miss you.

I need you.

How can I reach you?

Next time on Chicken Girls. Even though change is scary, sometimes it's good.

You said you needed my help. Is everything okay?

It's hard to talk to you about Belle or Claire or any of the Chicken Girls

because you're one of them now. I'm still your friend too.

But they come first.

I'm leaving Attaway.
