- So how's T.K.?

Are you still friends?

- Wow, I cannot believe you remember him.

- How could I forget.

He was around all the time.

T.K. and the Chicken Girls

were all you ever talked about.

How is he?

- I don't know.

He moved to Texas last year,

so we don't really keep in touch.

- Oh, I didn't realize.

Sorry. - No, you're good.

But Birdie, and Ellie, and Quinn still go here,

so they'll be excited to see you.

- Is Birdie still bossing everyone around?

- Well, I mean, not exactly.

She's changed a lot.

- I guess a lot has changed since we were 10.

- Yeah, you can say that.

- When Ty set me up as team manager this season,

he never told me how much stuff I'd have to carry.

- Dude, no offense, but if you're gonna be a team manager,

you really need to bulk up.

I mean, those pads aren't carrying themselves.

- Yeah, I'll try. - Yeah.

- Practice after school, we're running blocking drills.

Don't forget the dummies, Flash.

- Are those heavy too?

(Isaac laughs) - Okay.

(upbeat music)

(bell ringing)

- Come in, come on.

That's the last bell, we've gotta get going.

Rhyme!

Great to have you with us.

- Are you sure you're in the right place?

- Yeah.

Thanks for the concern though.

- So we all should have read The Crucible over the summer.

Rhyme, you can catch up.

- Oh, that's okay.

I've read it.

(gentle music)

(students chattering)

- It's so dumb that they make me change

even though I can't participate.

- I know, right?

- All right, everybody up!

Let's set teams.

(air horn blares)

Let's go, people!

- [Ty] You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Mind if I join you?

- Not at all.

(Ty sighs)

Why aren't you out there playing?

- My knee's not 100%,

and I definitely don't think

it's worth injuring myself all over again

over a game of softball.

- But I thought your knee was better.

- (chuckling) Yeah.

Everybody wants it to be.

I don't know, I guess some days are better than others.

- Yeah, if one more person tells me to be patient,

I think I might actually scream.

- I get that.

Trust me, this past year has been

one of the longest of my life,

but you gotta take it easy on yourself.

It's a journey.

(gentle music)

(students chattering)

- So at the end, was John Proctor a good man?

- Well, I think the real question is

can a good person that makes bad choices

be considered good.

- He cheated on his wife

and was, like, super, super-mean to Mary Warren.

And I mean, he tried to save Elizabeth,

but it's like, dude, too little, too late.

- Yes, but John did own up to all of his mistakes.

He sacrificed his life.

- I agree with Rhyme.

Everybody makes mistakes, right?

It's the ultimate apology to his wife and to himself.

- [Mr. Daniels] Good job.

- I can't believe you're in Attaway.

- I know, for longer than just the summer this time.

Actually, I have a question for you.

Now that I'm a full-time Attaway resident,

I kind of need a job.

Know anyone hiring?

- Well, there's The Slab, but with the summer,

they're probably a little overbooked on help.

- Mm.

- So maybe Junior's?

I mean, I know they're always looking.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, sure. - Yeah.

(students chattering)

- Hey, your nose looks good.

- Excuse me?

- Your nose, from yesterday?

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's better.

- I'm still really sorry.

- No, it's totally fine, forget it.

- I'm Jesse by the way.

- Oh, you run the radio station, don't you?

It's great.

- Yeah, for now anyways.

- Oh, is it not doing well?

- It's just the radio station doesn't get any love

from the rest of the students.

Nobody cares that it's back.

- I don't think anybody knows that it's back.

If people know, I'm sure people would listen.

- Brilliant idea.

- See you around, Jesse.

- See ya.

- Jared Danger to open Detroit Fashion Week

with Tres Chic designer...

Rhyme?

Are you listening?

- Yeah.

What? (Quinn sighs)

- So skater boy is in your English class?

- Yeah, he's so smart.

- He's coming over here. - What?

- Wes is coming over to our table.

- What do I do? - I don't know.

Just say "hey," just say "hey!"

- Hey.

- Hey.

I've been thinking a lot about what you said

about the Crucible.

Do you think he was right?

Because I don't know if I could do that.

- Who?

- John Proctor.

About choosing his dignity over his life.

- Right.

Yeah, that's a tough question.

You know, maybe we could discuss it

and study together sometime.

- Yeah, that'd be cool.

- Oh my God, I can't believe you just did that!

(Rhyme laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Oh, hey.

How's your first day going?

- Pretty awkward and boring,

but at least the Attaway kids seem a little less pretentious

than the kids at Crown Lake.

Plus your friend Ellie's been super-helpful.

- Yeah, Attaway's really not that bad.

It'll get better, I promise.

- I'm gonna swing by Junior's for something.

Do you wanna come?

- Actually, I have my Attaway Appeal meeting,

but then I can.

- Sounds great, awesome.

(bell ringing)

- Welcome back.

Let's start with some pictures for articles,

and then we'll get to the voting.

Anyone?

Throw something out.

- I heard that all the water fountains

are laced with ADHD medication.

- What?

Where?

What?

You know what?

I'm not gonna deal with that.

Anybody else?

Come on, somebody here.

Go ahead.

- I was thinking we could do

a who wore it best sort of thing,

so basically people vote on what's hot and what's not.

- Uh-huh, okay.

How about an idea that won't land you

in Principal Mathers' office, huh?

Yes, go ahead.

- I think we need to do a weekly column board

that ranks Attaway against America's top 100 high schools.

- Are we in the top 100 high schools?

- No, and that's the point.

We can, and will, do better.

- You know, that's good.

It's gonna be hard to find that data,

but I like the inclination.

Anything else?

Is that it?

Come on.

- What about an advice column?

To help the students that are struggling.

- That's a great idea, Rhyme.

- Yeah, what if we did a fashion column,

kind of like what Britney was saying,

just less judgemental.

So we could ask students how they use their style

to express and represent themselves.

- That's great.

- And for a showcase, every week we could meet up

with a different student group and interview them.

It's kind of be a cool way to help them decide on

what club they wanna join

or just other people who have the same interests as them.

We could interview the drama club,

student council, the radio station.

- We have a radio station?

- That is a such a great idea, Ryhme.

Have the students find each other

and form a community.

Love it.

Anything else?

Nothing?

Okay.

It's time to vote.

(man grunts)

- All right, here you go, young man.

Thank you.

(gentle music) (patrons chattering)

Can I get you something?

- Do you own the place?

- Well, my name is on the front window, so I'd hope so.

- Oh!

Hi.

Sorry, I was just wondering if you're hiring?

- I'm sorry, kid.

I've got half the cheer squad on the payroll these days.

Are you new in town?

I haven't seen you around.

- Yeah, I used to live in Crown Lake.

- You don't say.

My daughter Nellie graduated Crown Lake in '96.

Her mom went there too.

Excuse me.

Yeah, although I've gotta say,

Crown Lake's a bit fancy for my liking.

- My mom worked there,

but we definitely aren't fancy.

- Hang on.

On the house.

Welcome to Attaway, young lady.

(gentle music)

- Thank you.

- Hey, you got this.

- With astonishing tally, eight to one,

your new Editor-In-Chief, Miss McAdams.

(students clapping) Congratulations, Rhyme.

Welcome.

(birds chirping)

- Oh, geez.

(Junior sighs)

All right, thank you.

I appreciate it. (grunts)

You have any experience in the service industry?

- No.

- Do you like people?

- Not really.

- Have you ever been arrested?

- Next question.

- Why do you need a job?

- Because my mom had a breakdown,

and then lost our house,

and so now I am living with her estranged sister.

- Hm.

Chocolate or vanilla?

- Mint chocolate chip.

- You're hired.

At least temporarily.

It appears my guy is late, so we could use the help.

- Dad, I'm at school.

I told you, I have the Appeal today.

I need a ride home.

Whatever, just call me back.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- [Wes] Sorry I'm late.

- Wes.

Thanks for joining us.

This is--

- Oh, Astrid.

My name is Astrid.

- Wes, you're gonna be training Astrid.

(Astrid laughing)

(upbeat rock music)

- [Announcer] Next time on Chicken Girls...

- Driver's Ed starts today, sign on up.

- I can't wait to never have to ask for a ride again.

- I don't know, Roon.

- I'm gonna be with you every step of the way, I promise.

- [Blonde Girl] Who are you texting?

- No one.

- How many times do I have to tell you

that I'm not talking to her anymore?

(upbeat music)
