Hey, y'all.

Here's what you missed
on The Chicken Sisters.

Kitchen Clash is coming
to Merinac!

Holy!

All right, I'll do it,
but not without Mae.

Newsflash, Amanda,

being from some pathetic podunk
town is embarrassing!

We're gonna have to let you go.

What?

Wow!

What the--

I'm home.

Okay, Cam, just set that up.

From an early age,
Nancy knew the difference

between a Frannie's girl
and a Mimi's girl.

♪ I had nothing to say. ♪

She listened
when people talked
and took it all in.

Well, you know what I heard?

I heard that little Miss Peggy
Ann Moore is pregnant again.

Who knows who the father is?

What did you expect
from a Mimi's girl?

What she gleaned
was this:

Frannie's girls
were upstanding.

They were debutants.

They were wives.

And they were exemplary mother.

Then there were
the Mimi's girls.

Loose, a little odd

and from the wrong side
of the tracks.

Hey Gus, watch this!

Sigmund Freud might
have something to say

about dividing women
into two categories.

But he never set foot
in Merinac.

There you were, a good girl
or a bad girl,

and Nancy knew which one
she wanted to be.

Hey there, Big Jim.
So how's--

Magnolia?

Magnolia.

Nancy loved to be
the woman behind the man,

and she planned on doing
that forever.

She took till death
do us part to heart.

But that parting happened
much sooner than she expected.

Nancy started to wonder

if a Frannie's girl was
a wife and a mother.

Thanks, Mama.

What the hell
was she supposed to do now?

This week it's a crisis
in the coop.

Two chicken restaurants
will go to war,

but only one will rule
the roost.

Taking the title of best
fried chicken in Merinac.

Get ready to grub.
It's Kitchen Clash.

First, let's check out Mimi's.
A local institution since--

Nope! No, you can't do that.

-Why not?
-Yeah. Why not?

We just painted in there.

It's still wet.
It's gonna have to wait.

Seriously?

Cut!

I guess that's
a company move. Great.

Everyone, let's relocate
to Frannie's.

I am so sorry, Sabs, but
we'll be ready to shoot ASAP.

Look, you know how this works.

You can't just spring
a move on me.

Hey, they painted in there.

I was getting caught
up myself.

How are you?
You look amazing!

No, you look amazing.

I don't know what you're doing,
but you're doing it right.

Oh, my God,
I'm doing nothing.

So those two know each other?

Yeah.

I didn't know that.

The south
is where I'm from.

Lucky for Mimi's.

Oh, I'm sure it's fine.

Latte's on me.

So good to see you.
We'll catch up soon.

-For sure.
-Yeah.

Hey, guys, can we just
circle up really quick?

Okay, look, I know it's
everyone's first time on TV.

Except me.

I know what you're
probably thinking.

You're like, whoa, what is
that thing pointed at me?

How am I supposed to be
right now?

We know what cameras are.

Right. Of course you do.

Look, I'm just saying we got
to be smart, right?

I mean, we don't want
to come across as, like,

a bunch of feuding hillbillies.

Is that what you think we are?

No, no. I'm one of you.

I just thought I could
offer myself as a resource.

You know, like, I thought maybe
I could lead us in

some ad hoc media training,
like tomorrow morning.

I think we're all busy.
Right, y'all?

Mom, don't be rude.
She's just trying to help.

Yeah, exactly.

Thank you, sweetheart.

And she's been on TV, Amanda.
She's kind of the expert.

She'll know what they want.

I know what they want.
I'm the one who got 'em here.

Can't hurt to hear her out.
Can it?

Sorry.

Okay, so it's settled.

Tomorrow morning,
bright and early.

-Okay. Got it.
-Gotta go now.

Okay.

Hi, sweetie.

It's so good to see you.

Your sister acts
like she works at NASA.

It's just TV.

Anybody with half a brain
can do it.

Many do.

Exactly. That's what I mean.

Finally, someone's on my side.

Oh, I'm not on your side.

Team Mimi's.

Mom, are you coming?

Yeah.

Team Frannie's.

Mm.

Hm.

Come on, Frankie.
Let's go.

I'm waiting on you.

Okay. What was all this about
Mimi's bein' painted.

Oh, I just want to make sure
that before the cameras come in

that everything's up to snuff,
that's all.

Up to whose snuff? Yours?

Mama, I took time off
of my TV show

because I really wanted
to make sure

that Mimi's had a fair shot.

Oh, it has a fair shot,

and it doesn't need
any bells and whistles.

We serve the best
fried chicken,

and everybody knows it.

Okay, Mama, can you please just
let me do what I do, all right?

I... I am here to help. Okay?

Fine. You're already here?

So I guess you
can just go ahead.

Oh!!!

But I am not paying for it.

Oh, Mama. Thank you.
That is such a good start.

Well, what do you mean,
"a good start"?

Nothing. Let's talk
about this later, okay?

I just want to go take
off these clothes.

Go check into my room.

I have been traveling all day.

Oh.

So you... you're staying
at the inn, then?

Well, yeah, I...

I just thought that my old
room would be unavailable.

No, you know, I don't
like company anyway.

You know who owns
the old inn now, doncha?

Kenneth.

Kenneth is in Merinac!

Mmhmm.

This room has a view, right?

Maybe.

Oh, I think I booked
a room with a view.

Hm.

Will it be a hardship
for you to not have one?

No.

Great. Then I'll get your key.

Mae didn't know
if she was excited or scared

to see Kenneth again.

He was her childhood
best friend.

They hadn't stayed
in touch,

and it was sort of
her fault.

Actually, definitely her fault.

No.

Did he
hold it against her?

I can't believe it.

Kenneth?

I thought you'd never
come back here.

Oh, my God, you look
the same.

Oh! Stop it!

I see you met
my husband, Patrick.

Patrick, look.
This is Mae.

Oh, that's your husband.

I don't think he's a fan.

Oh, he's like that
with everyone.

Um...

I cannot believe that
you are back here.

I thought that you'd
moved to...

-Chicago.
-Chicago?

Yes, I did for a while,
and it was fun.

But then some family stuff
brought us back here.

And when I saw
the historic inn for sale,

I thought,
what if we stayed?

I mean, it looks incredible.

The windows were all
boarded up when I left.

Well, it's amazing what new
floors, a patched roof,

period specific windows,
custom wainscoting,

and thousands of hours
of backbreaking labor can do.

One Merinac building down,
the rest to go.

Let's start with Mimi's!

-Yes.
-Yes!!

Wait, does Gus know
you want to do that?

Yes. And she approved it...
barely.

She must be thrilled you're
back to have agreed to that.

I'm sorry. Have you ever
seen my mother thrilled?

I think the most enthusiastic

I've ever heard her saying,
it's okay.

So... when do we start?

So here's what I'm seeing.

We're walking in.
We're customers at Frannie's.

Who is greeting us?

Oh, that'd be Frank Jr.
He's the face of Frannie's.

Great. So we're gonna roll
on you handing me the menu?

Seating me, showing me that
famous southern hospitality.

You ready, Frank Jr.

Born ready, ma'am.

Great. Okay.

You want to hand me the menu?

Oh.

Cut!

So you're looking directly
at camera?

I was.

Yeah. It's okay.
Cameras make people nervous.

It's completely normal.

Let's try it again. Okay.

All right.

Welcome to Frannie's.

See, now your eyes are closed.

Yeah, but I was trying
not to look at the camera.

Mhm. Okay, that's a solution.

Um, are you done yet?
I'm so over this.

Okay. Um,
I'm calling an audible.

Uh, Nancy, can I speak
with you?

Of course.

You're gonna have to do it.

Oh, no. Frank Jr. is
usually so photogenic.

The portrait artist
at Sears said

he could have been
a baby model.

Okay, here's the thing.

I had to move the whole
production over here

because of painting
at Mimi's... fake.

Now I have to deal with this
idio-syncratic, handsome man

who's just not ready
for shooting.

Can you please help me out

so I can get something
I can use today

before my kid goes
full teen meltdown on me?

Please.

I'm not photogenic at all.
Honestly.

Okay, I'll do my best.

Okay.

Frank, darling, we're gonna
give Nancy a shot, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Honey. I...

He's fine.

Now let's see how Frannie's
welcomes a customer.

Okay.

Welcome to Frannie's.

Where strangers are friends
and friends are family.

Right this way
to the best seat in the house.

Come on.

Hey, y'all are leaving?

Uh, yeah, we just
finished up with Nancy.

Was there something
that you needed?

Actually, yes. Um...

Could we speak privately?

Sure. Of course.
Let's go back inside.

Linzey, head on
back to the hotel. Okay?

And do what?
Just rot while you work.

No, mom, bed rotting
is so over.

I don't care what you do.
Just do something.

Mother of the year everyone.

I could show you
around town tomorrow.

Maybe it could be fun
or something to do.

See? Look at that. Huh?

You just made a new friend.

Friend?

Mom this is a random teen.

Yeah, and to her, you are
also a random teen.

Go be random teens together.

Okay, let's go back inside.

Well, it was nice
seeing you again.

Hey.

Oh. Don't mind, Gordo.

He has some footage
to look over.

Uh, so I don't mean
to be a bother,

but I just want
to make sure

Frannie's is gonna get
a fair shake here.

Of course they will.

Why would you be worried
about that?

Well, Mae is your friend.

Mae?

Yeah. I saw you two talking.
It's pretty familiar.

Oh, honey, I know Mae Moore,
that is true.

But we are not friends.

Oh.

Let's just say,
in my experience,

Mae is not someone
who's easy to be close to.

Don't I know it?

Hey, Mom.

I thought no one was gonna talk
to the people from the show

until after May's
meeting tomorrow.

Frankie, that is not polite.

That's fine, that's fine.
She's so smart.

You know what?
You are so smart.

I bet you you are top
of your class, huh?

Hey, hon, can you
do me a favor?

I am starved.

I'd love to have some of those
famous Frannie's biscuits.

Can you go to the kitchen
and whip some up?

Go.

Thanks, doll.

Wow. I see she's got
your daughter on her side.

Classic Mae.

Wait, what's your history
with Mae?

Oh, I've known Mae forever.

I met her when
she was going out

on her first job
in New York.

Oh, at Donkeys.

I'm sorry.
What did you say?

-Her first job?
-Yeah.

At, uh. I, um...

It's not. No, I'm sorry.

Did you say, Donkeys?
Like the butt restaurant?

Yeah, she worked at
the one in Times Square.

I thought that's
what you meant.

I'm sorry, Mae Moore,
polish prim Mae Moore.

Mae Moore, who wrote
"Clutter No More",

wore hot pants and
served deep fried queso

to tourists going
to Blue Man Group.

-No, listen, I didn't--
-No, no no no.

This is the best gift ever. Oh!

-Hello.
-Hi.

Mae... I was really worried.

I'm so sorry.

I should have called
you sooner.

It's fine. So, uh, what's
the family emergency?

Is everyone okay?

Uh, Scott I can't get
into it right now.

It's actually really
overwhelming.

So why don't I come
help you?

No, no. You don't...
you don't have to do that.

You don't have to do that.

My family, they are...
they're a lot.

Mae, we're engaged.

Your mom and your sister.

They're going to become
my family, too.

I'm gonna have to meet them
at some point, aren't I?

Why not now?

See, here's
Mae's trouble.

Ever since she got that ring
on her finger,

she knew she'd
have to come clean,

but every time she had
a window, she said.

It's just not a great time.

Ever since Mae arrived,
the focus has been on her.

How do you feel about that?

It's a little unfair.

A little?

Sure. Mae's been on TV.

But I came here
to tell your story.

The one you emailed about.

You're the one who made
all of this happen.

But Mae came in and made it
all about her.

And everybody let her.

Have you always been in
your sister's shadow?

Um...

I mean, as kids,
we were close.

What if Mae was in
your shadow for once?

What if the next time
you saw her,

it was you taking charge?

You getting the credit?

You're the hero of the story,
Amanda.

You're the one who stayed.

You were the one
in the middle.

Let's make you look
like the star you are.

Hey, I've been meaning
to ask you.

Could I use your inn's lobby
tomorrow for a little meeting?

I offered to media
train everyone

just because I've been on TV
before, and they haven't, so.

Really? How'd that go over?

Honestly, Amanda was touchy
about it, which was weird.

What?

It's weird?

You show up here
after years of being gone

and steamrolled your sister.

Do you think maybe that's
why she's a bit touchy?

Ow! I did not steamroll her.
I'm helping.

Helping?

Do you remember when Amanda
wanted to put on a show

when we were kids,
and you offered to help,

but then told her she was doing
everything wrong,

and it ended up being just you
and me that put on the show.

Okay. I simply don't see
how that's relevant.

And also, everybody loved
our production

of the Older Siblings
Variety Hour.

We sold out that
whole summer.

Oh, that was great!

But this is her thing.

Amanda's the reason

that Kitchen Clash
is coming to Merinac.

And you just kind of
showed up--

And made it my thing.
Oh, yeah. Right.

God, you're always right.

You suck.

I miss you, too.

Oh, stupid cameras.

Junior, you've had a bee
in your bonnet all evening.

You want to talk about it?

I blew it.

I had my moment
and I choked.

What would daddy say
about today?

I think Daddy would say
he's proud of you

for doing your best.

It's normal to be nervous
in front of a camera.

It's not natural.
It feels funny.

You didn't seem
to have a problem.

You know what I think
happened for you?

That woman was telling you
where to walk and what to say.

It wasn't you.

You're not used to being
bossed around.

You're the boss.

Maybe that's what it was.

Now, if you were on camera

doing something you were
passionate about,

it'd be a whole 'nother story.
Don't you reckon?

Now it might seem
like Nancy coddles the boy.

Well, there's a reason
for that.

There's something you don't
know about Frannie's girls.

Now, Frannie's girls are
picture perfect in public.

This one's going to be a girl.
I can just tell.

So anything
that didn't go perfectly,

they had to keep
that private.

We'll try again.

I'll take junior to the park
so you can get some rest.

Don't you worry.

Tomorrow's a new day.

Don't you worry.
Tomorrow's a new day.

So that's what I usually do.

Ah, natural beauty.
That's code for sloppy.

I'm gonna help you.

Okay. Let's just
get rid of these.

Well, I just blend
it a little bit more.

Yeah, blended it a lot more.
Like, all the way off.

-Hey, Mama.
-Hi.

-Nice to see you.
-Nancy.

I don't believe I've met
your new chef.

Hi, I'm Nancy Hillier.

Don't talk to her.

Nice to meet you.

I want you to know
that no matter

what comes of all this,
I wish you luck, Augusta.

Oh, the hell you do!

And unless you are the police
or my dead mama,

you are never to call me
Augusta again.

Where's Amanda?

She's the last one here,
as usual.

You know, I find it so
comforting that my sister

has such a loving,
supportive husband.

And I love to be reminded
my wife has a sister at all.

When was the last time
you were even here, or when?

You know the one
where you left early.

Listen up, Mae.

You may know your way
around the set.

But you're in my house now.

-You're absolutely right.
-You are at my house!

What?

I'm right?

You're right. I...

Could I steal her
for a second?

I have been meaning...

to talk to you.

What are you looking at?

I'm sorry.

You look so pretty,
I got distracted.

I love your hair like this.

Thanks.

I mean, I've been telling
you to style it like that...

For how long?

Anyway, I...
I owe you an apology.

I showed up and I took over.

This was your thing,
and I steamrolled you.

I'm so sorry.

I hadn't given it
another thought.

Well, not that many
other thoughts.

I know I can be controlling.

Obviously I just...

Look, this isn't an excuse,
but, I mean, to be honest,

I just... I got scared.

There are a lot
of secrets about...

our family, about me that
I just don't want out there.

And I let that get the better
of my good sense.

Can you forgive me?

It's fine. Yeah.

I mean, we all
make mistakes sometimes.

And we don't have
to have this meeting.

That was an insulting idea.
You weren't born yesterday.

You know how to
comport yourself.

No, I mean, it
can't hurt, right?

Just in case.

I mean, not for me,
but for everybody.

Okay. Well, if you think so.

Okay, so I have been thinking,

and I think that the story
we should be telling

isn't that there's a team
Mimi's or a team Frannie's.

There's just one team.
Team Merinac.

We could be civil.

We could be kind.

We could just not air
any dirty laundry

and keep it focused
on the food.

Now, look, I know
that sounds easy,

but I'm gonna warn you, I
have done Sabrina's job before,

and she's here
to produce a show,

and she will do
whatever it takes.

She'll triangulate you.

She'll manipulate you.

I even would convince people
that I was their best friend

just to get their guard down.

Oh. Hey, everyone.

Did you all see
besties makeover? Mm?

She actually thinks
you're gonna fall for that.

What Mae didn't know
is that Amanda already had.

Nancy. There's my star.

Are you ready
for your close up?

Real quick?

Frank Jr. has to show
you something,

and it's very special.

Follow me.

Oh.

So I built a keezer,

which is basically a freezer
with a keg right in there.

And there's an insulated run
that goes through the drywall

and attaches to the taps,
which are hand-carved.

Cut!

Okay, so I got
to be honest with you.

We're here for the chicken.

Well, sure, and
the chicken's great,

but I personally put
this bar in.

It's my passion and my
contribution to Frannie's.

And here's the thing.
I built the keezer myself.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

You worked so hard on that.

Well...

Nancy, can I speak with you?

Yes.

So... there's only so many
days I'm shooting in here,

and I've got a lot to cover.

I don't have time for the
sidetracks and the word keezer

is really unpleasant
to my ears.

I love to shoot with just you.

Please, Nancy.

Please, Nancy.

Okay, great.

Frank Jr. we're good.

Okay. Gordo.

Nancy... tell us what does
Frannie's mean to you?

Oh. Hey, Kenneth,

could you just help me take
this menu down?

And then, Kenneth, could
you put it back up again?

That menu is
not going anywhere.

Oh, Mama,
I'm gonna make you a new menu.

A nice one,
you're gonna love it.

Kenneth take it down?

I love the one that's there.
It's staying.

Mama, that menu is trash.

Kenneth, take it down
and put it in a dumpster.

How dare you?
What if I need that someday?

Oh.

This was a mantra
of Gus's.

There wasn't a hunk
of junk in the county

that Gus didn't want
to take in

like it was a stray pup.

Mama! Come on, I'm late
to school.

Well, it's a perfectly
good chair.

We can't let the rain get it.

We have no room for it.

Well, I'll make room.
I might need it someday.

-Well, I'm sorry...
-This is insane!

-Mrs. Moneybags...
-We have no time for this!

-Just throw things
into the dumpster

like there's no tomorrow.

Some of us know the value
of a dollar.

Ladies, this is not gonna work.

Whatever you two need
to do to relax,

you need to do it.

So this is Main Street,
and this is the bridge.

Like, over the river.

And this is where
my kin are buried.

I'll probably be buried
right there.

Bleak.

You know what I'm missing
in New York right now?

All my friends are
at a festival

in what used to be
a TB hospital.

I heard Marshmello
is going to be there.

Oh, um, well, we don't
have that.

But, uh, we do have
a lock-in at a church

where they make s'mores.

I know. Ugh, I would love
to go to New York.

Actually, I'm going in the
fall and stay with my Aunt Mae.

I... have an audition at NYU.

No.

You're not gonna get in.

I mean, I just I know
friends that were on Broadway

and they didn't even get in.
It's basically impossible.

Oh.

So do you guys have,
like, a bodega out here?

Uh... I don't know
what that is.

Like a store.

For groceries?

No. Like for weird hot dogs
and, like, off-brand candy.

It's like a grab and go.

What's a grab and go?

It's a bodega.

She thinks she's better
than me.

She has barged in and started
running her mouth

about oh, changing this
and changing that.

And she just...

She just wants to make
everything all different.

Well, different doesn't have
to mean bad.

When we first started
meeting up,

you were scared.

You worried about what people
were gonna say?

Yeah, 'cause people
are ding-a-lings.

I know, I do, but you pushed
through that fear,

and you tried
something different.

How'd that work out for you?

I guess it worked out okay.

Maybe this is like that.

Mm.

-I gotta get going.
-Yeah.

-Family dinner.
-Okay.

All right then, go on.

So my mom and I got along
for exactly 10 minutes

before we started
bickering again.

I just... hoped it would
be different,

that maybe she would
appreciate that I'm here.

Do you think she's
not happy you're here?

-She values your opinion.
-Ha!

When you came in here
criticizing her,

of course she's upset.

Okay. What are you,
her therapist?

No, I'm her friend.

You're friends with my mom?

Yeah, and we're neighbors.

She's changed a lot in
the past couple of years.

Time didn't just stop
because you left town.

What on earth do you two
have to talk about?

Well, she was...

really there for me
when my mom died.

Your mom died?!

Oh, my--

Was that the family stuff
you were talking about?

Yeah.

Oh.

A couple years ago,
my mom got sick,

so Patrick and I moved
back here to help.

Oh, I should have asked.

I steamrolled you just
like I steamrolled Amanda.

Like I steamroll everyone.
Are you okay?

Yes, I am.

But I miss her.

Every day.

Yeah. She's was the best.

All right, I'm over it.
Do whatever you want.

Are you cryin'?

I'll give you something
to cry about.

She's just hungry probably.

No. I'm fine.

Mae?

You're saying you're not gonna
eat your mom's cooking?

Uh-huh.

Fried chicken is not exactly
on my protocol these days.

Lord, Gus, this girl has
forgot where she came from.

Miss Mae-Ann Moore,

you are going to eat a plate
and you are gonna like it.

Gus was not a warm
and fuzzy woman.

Hell, she thought a handshake
was PDA,

but that didn't mean
Gus didn't love deeply.

And this was how she showed it,
through her food.

♪ Photograph of us
in the spotlight ♪

♪ on a hot night. ♪

♪ I was drifting in and out ♪

♪ Reticent on the off chance ♪

♪ I'm blunter than a bullseye ♪

♪ begging for peace of mind. ♪

And for the first
time in a long time,

Mae ate.

She hadn't eaten her
mom's food since she left.

And with every bite,
she felt that love.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Well, we could really
win this competition.

As long as you do not change a
single thing about this food.

For real, you touch this
menu, I go right back home.

And Gus knew this
was how Mae showed love

by being bossy.

Well, uh, I'm going
to hit the hay.

'Night, Mama.

You know, different can be
hard for me,

but, uh, I know that you're here
to help me Mae, so.

Thank you.

Holy hell, did Gus Moore
just say something nice?

We're gonna need another
bottle just for that.

Uh... get two.

Here it is.

The store.

You think this will
work here?

Is this a fake ID?

Are you sure
it's a good idea?

Oh! Are you sure
it's a good idea?!

That's what you sound like.

-Okay.
-Oh.

So you're good at impressions.
What does that prove?

It's not gonna work.

♪ Do you see me inside? ♪

♪ We fight the fight. ♪

♪ We're ready to live again. ♪

Well, it looks
like Amanda

had pinned the Mae
on the donkeys,

but Mae couldn't let on
that she was more spun out

than a car in an ice storm,
so she played it cool.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oooh, she is not okay.

Hm.

Ha ha!
In your face.

They sold you beer?

You're underage.

What took you so long?

Have you been in there?
Not a good selection.

Wait, so you live in Narnia
with nothing to do,

and you haven't tried
to buy beer?

Uh-uh.

Why not?

Is that little Frankie Hillier?

You are not of the legal
drinking age.

That's why.

Hey, how do you go over there?
Did you dazzle for the cameras?

Uh, I wouldn't say that.

Uh, Sabrina, I need to
talk to you about the show.

Hey. Just what I want
after a long day...

a conversation about work.

I'm sorry, but what I told you
about Mae earlier.

Mmhmm.

You're not going to use
that on the show, are you?

Because I know that's
a juicy detail.

And I know you all
have history,

but that's my sister,
and this is my life.

And it would really
mess us up

if that were to end up
public knowledge.

Mm.

Can you understand that?

Of course.
That's why it'll make great TV.

I gotta get back to work.

Amanda had thought

she and Sabrina were
making friends.

But you can put your boots
in the oven

that don't make 'em biscuits.

Sabrina, listen, I'm...

I'm just gonna--

Uh. I'm sorry, I just...
I gotta take this.

Hello?

Are you serious?

Dadgummit!

All right.

Thanks, Sheriff.

Everything okay?

Frankie was caught
buying beer underage.

Ooh. Tough break.

With Linzey.

Oh, she's trying to kill me.

I gotta get over there
and I walked here.

Can I ride with you?

Babe, I've never driven
a day in my life.

And the only vehicle I have
is a transpo van.

When I get my hands
on that kid!

Come on, I'll drive you.

-Ah. Thank you.
-Great.

Can't believe our girls
would do that.

I'll help you.

It can be tricky.

There you go.

Thanks.

Look, you don't have to tell me,
but whatever it is,

I'm sure it'll work
itself out.

I never should have come here.

Nothing good ever
came out of Merinac!

I know that!

I don't know why I thought
this would be any different.

Wait. Where are you going?

My dear?
It's my cue to leave.

Oh, I wasn't talking about you,
obviously!

Have a good night, Mae.

Fine! Be that way!

Sorry, ladies.
The law is the law.

Yeah, but we can
make a deal, right?

How would you like
to be heavily featured

in Kitchen Clash?

Mm.

Mhm.

Pass.

What'd you think
I was gonna get

blonde tips and start
eating Caesar salads.

-What?
-I don't know.

It's a thing here.

And trying to coerce
an officer of the law

is a big no-no, ma'am.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to bring these two

down to the station.

I got this.

Hey, Fast Eddie.

Do you remember that time

after we beat the Marauders
in the playoffs,

you and the rest of
the team got a case

and climbed the water tower.

Hell, yeah, I do.
Those were the glory days.

What of it?

I just feel like
it's kind of funny

that that same boy grew up
to arrest teenagers

for just trying to have
a little fun.

Mm.
That is kind of funny.

So come on.
Can't you just forget all this?

Send these girls home with
just a slap on the wrist?

All right.

You can go home
with your mothers,

but don't let me catch you
pulling stunts like this again.

Yeah, yeah.

Yes, sir.
Sheriff Lawrence.

I'm going to see
about a six-pack.

Thanks.

Oh. Thank you.

Of course, us moms of teenagers
got to stick together.

Yeah, well, I owe you one.

Well, don't put my secret
out there.

Oh, not this again.

Come on.
I don't want to embarrass her.

She came here to help me.

She took time away
from her job at Sparkling.

Is that what she told you?

No. Mae was fired
from Sparkling.

But--

Look, you did me
a solid tonight.

And while I can't promise
I'll keep Mae's secret.

I will keep yours.

Mine?

Yeah. I won't run with
the obvious chemistry

between you and Sergio.

Wait, you think he likes me?

Not that I--

I hadn't even noticed him.

Well, shoot.

Amanda had no idea that
it was that darn obvious.

Hey, I got us some
victory slushies.

No one's going
to jail tonight.

Oh, how thoughtful
of you, Sergio,

to get Amanda a slushie
and not me.

Hey, honey, I brought
you some apple pie.

I'm not hungry.

Well, it's your favorite.

Look, I know you're upset
with how it went today.

I sure didn't want
it to go that way.

Could have fooled me.

Excuse me.

You know what, Mama?
I think you love the spotlight.

You and your new clothes,

strutting around for the camera
like some kind of show pony.

You made a fool of yourself.

Now, Frank Jr. that is no way
to talk to your mother.

Well, that was no way to act
as my mother.

You were an
embarrassment today.

What would Daddy think?

There was a catch
to being a Frannie's girl

that Nancy had never realized.

Even if your whole life,
you'd done the right thing,

the proper thing.

If you ever stepped
out from behind the man,

ever took your spot
in the sun.

You could be dismissed
and degraded.

Just like a Mimi's girl.

Mae was thinking,

how could people
treat her this way?

She was here to help,
herself sure,

but also the town.

And this is the thanks
she gets.

Well, if Amanda wants to
fight, she's gonna get it.

Thanks for the ride.

Hey, on second thought,

I need to swing back by
the inn and talk to Mae.

About what?

I need to apologize
for something.

Oh, about talking to Sabrina
when I told you not to.

Oh, don't you start!

I will send you right back
to jail.

Oh.

Can I get a
ride back with you?

Sure.

You know, I think we all made
some mistakes today.

Oh, you think you're
getting off that easy?

We are gonna be having

a big ol' chat about what
happened, young lady, tomorrow.

Great.

Do you hear me?

I hear you, Mama.

All right.

Hey, Gordo.
Where's Sabrina?

I need to speak with her.

Oh, I'm sure she's
gone to sleep.

Oh.

Can I help?

Maybe.

You see, I was doing
my best,

but I've never been on
camera before,

and I did not realize
how I was coming off.

So I was hoping that maybe you
could just delete that footage.

How do you think
you're coming off?

Like a fool.

Thank you.
I so appreciate it.

Oh, I'm not deleting
any of this footage.

The camera loves you.

Loves me?

Now come on now.

Don't pee on my leg
and tell me it's rainin'!

Okay. I have no idea what
you just said, but look.

What does Frannie's mean to me?

Well, no one's ever
asked me that before.

Well, Frannie's, it
means the world to me.

How many people can say

they wake up with
a pep in their step

to go to work
with their family?

I'm the luckiest girl
in the world.

I get to spend so much
time with my son

and his wife, Amanda.

Oh, the joy she brings
to my life.

She's the daughter
I never had.

Anyway, I'm just going
on and on.

And what I'm trying
to say is that

when I'm down and the
world just seems crazy,

when I come in to this place,
everything is just fine.

And I hope that everyone
who comes in here

feels that way, too.

That's me.

That's me!

So what terrible thing
did you do to your sister?

I might have told something
I shouldn't have.

Something private of Mae's.

Oh. I want to hear.

You're no fun.

So, did you ever get busted
buying beer underage?

No. I was just a little
goody-two-shoes weirdo.

Just always doodling.

Like that chicken on the sign.
I like her.

Yeah, I like her, too.

Is that what you drew mostly,
chickens?

Mhm. Yeah, that's
what I still draw.

Okay. Interesting news.

Yeah, I know.

They were just, you know,
always around.

I guess I just got attached.

No wonder you won't eat 'em.

Yeah.

I guess I've just been,
you know,

drawing the same thing
my whole life.

Well, I'm sure it evolves.

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

At first it was just
little sketches,

and then it was more
of a back and forth,

like a comic strip.

And now it's just
longer stories.

I'd love to read them sometime.

No. Oh, you don't have to.
It's silly.

Why do you do that?

What?

Deflect when someone's
trying to know you.

Here we are.

Oh.

What?

Amanda saw the last
remnant of her at Mimi's

painted over like it was
a chipping window frame.

As a nice Frannie's girl.

Amanda knew two wrongs
don't make a right.

But they sure do make it even.
