All right, young man.

Are you ready for this?

Are you ready for this?

It was the worst day of my life.

It wasn't that bad.

Kara, it was a disaster.

I promise you, it wasn't. It was my fault we lost the game.

I don't know what happened.

Maybe it was just stage fright. Your first game. And last game, as it turns

out. Putting the team in a blind rage is probably not your best idea.

Don't you think I know that?

If only we had a time machine.

I wish I did. I'd go back before Ivy's audition and talk her out of joining.

Maybe I can still convince them to take me back? Talk to Coach?

They'd be crazy not to let you back.

Stupid Will.

He got so much pleasure watching me screw up.

Well, at least you have Ben on your side.

Ben didn't exactly stand up for me when the rest of the team was throwing me

under the bus.

Maybe he's just stressed.

He's a junior.

The scouts are watching.

He's always stressed out. About everything.

Seriously, the dude needs to get a girlfriend or something and mellow out.

Does he like somebody?

Ben?

No. He's annoyingly picky about girls.

His ex was crazy hot, but that was a while ago.

And now, every time I try to set him up with one of Phoebe's friends, he turns

me down.

I don't even think a supermodel would do it for him. Whatever.

I'm going to talk to Coach and give it my best shot.

We are a girl game like birds with a feather.

So,

you

and Kara got off to a bad start. We can work it out. She clearly isn't

interested in working anything out with me. You should have heard her putting

down ballet. Like her clomping around as high art or something. Kara's a good

dancer. She's just competitive.

Well, if she's going to be a drama queen, then I don't want to be there.

So you're just gonna give up without even trying?

I might.

Or I'll just wait until I can get my license and drive to Highland

Conservatory. I love you, Ivy. But you're being really stubborn right now.

I don't know what you want me to do.

We need good dancers, Kara.

How else are we gonna stand a chance at regionals? Well, think of something.

Her something is Ivy.

She's got the skills.

And the attitude.

Reminds me of someone.

I just... Don't think she can be a team player.

Well, I do.

Me too.

She's a Gemini. She's adaptable. She just needs a chance, so you can

apologize and make nice.

You can't let her quit the team. If she wants to go, we should let her. Better

now than her pooling something like this in a month or two. Once a quitter,

always a quitter.

I want to come back to the team.

You do? I thought about it and I realized I can't let one bad kick ruin

my future.

What did Coach say?

He said he can let me back on, but only if the team agrees. I need you to talk

to the other captains and tell them to bring me back.

Bailey, you know I'm not in a good spot with the guys right now. I mean, you

really got into their skin.

So if I do this, you have to be sure.

I'm ready for this, Ben.

I just let the emotions get the best of me, but I'm focused now. I'm all in.

All right. Well, I'll talk to the guys and see what I can do. But I cannot make

any promises, okay?

And so Holden uses the hunting hat to show his otherness and to put further

distance between himself and his peers.

He quits or flunks out of everything he tries because he doesn't want to care

about something that might disappoint him.

Well done, JJ.

Bravo.

Now, class, for our next assignment, you will be working in teams of two.

So everyone, look at the person sitting next to you and say hello.

That is who you'll be working with.

Guess it's you and me. I guess so.

Want to meet up later this week?

Works for me.

Hey, what'd you think about what JJ said earlier? About Holden quitting

everything to protect himself?

He's like, secretly spooky smart.

I mean, I still find Holden Caulfield annoying, but at least he's relatable.

Haven't we all wanted to walk away from something because it was hard?

Yeah, I guess we have.

What was that for? Because today is an awesome day. Oh?

Yeah, I talked to coach, and guess what?

I'm back on the team.

But I thought... I know what I said, but I was just having a moment. And now

things are way more clear to me than before.

Okay. Phoebe.

Will you be my girlfriend?

Wait, what?

I don't want to wait till the end of the season. I want to make things official

now. Be together for real. After all, I need my good luck charm cheering for me

on the sidelines.

You think I'll just agree to be your trophy now that you finally realize I'm

worth your time?

I didn't say that.

But it's what you meant.

We always have to do everything on your terms and I'm over it.

Wait, Phoebe, please. No.

I'm done playing second string in your life, Bailey.

I deserve better than that.

Hey, Ben.

Did something bad happen?

No.

It's just, um, don't worry about it.

Is it about Bailey? Because I was worried, but she says she's joining the

team again.

They're not going to go for that.

I mean, they said that they don't think that she can be a team player. They said

that she's going to quit again.

Can I have a piece?

We have a similar situation happening on the dance team. This new girl quit, and

Pedro wants me to get her back, but... So, why don't you? I guess I'm worried.

I mean, she quit now.

Won't she just quit again?

Yeah, you sound a lot like Xander and Will.

Gotta go.

I don't know how we're gonna compete this year.

Maybe we can get Bertie out of retirement?

Didn't you say one of the JV girls was game to join? Yeah, she just got her

permission slip signed. And you didn't make any progress with Ivy.

She'll come if she wants to.

Hi Ivy!

You're back?

I'd like to stay on the team, if you'll have me.

I'm not a quitter.

Well, Avi!

We'd love you back!

Yeah, everyone deserves a second chance.

Amazing! You're in!

Cara, come help me pick a song.

So, what made you change your mind?

Holden Caulfield. I haven't heard that one in a while.

Or ever, maybe.

Anyway, I'm glad that you're here.

Me too.

Found it.

No way.

You wanted to walk. That's it.

Are you kidding me, Will?

Sorry, kid. You didn't really have what it takes to play in the big leagues. Me?

You were the one who messed up the snap!

Oh, we're back to the blame game, huh?

That was all you, Bailey?

You were two inches off your mark! I saw it! No, I wasn't. And even if I was, you

have to get over it. You're acting like such a prissy girl right now.

Hey, Bailey!

I take it talking to Bailey didn't go too well.

Something like that.

I'm sorry, but listen, it's Bailey.

She'll bounce back.

She always does.

I hope you're right.

I usually am.

Thanks for the advice earlier.

Advice? About second chances.

Is everything going good with the dance team?

For now.

We'll see. At least I don't feel like the bad guy anymore.

Kara, for the amount of time that I've known you, you're definitely not the bad

guy.

I didn't think you would have ever noticed if I was the bad guy, since this

is probably the longest we've ever talked. Maybe I'm missing out.

Next time on Chicken Girls.

Hey!

Sorry to interrupt whatever this is.

Oh, that's okay. No problem.

Kara hated it. I just think it's too different too soon. Okay, fine. Let's

see your version then.

Think that you can get away with forging my signature just so that you could mess

around? I'm not messing around.
