(birds chirping)

- Spike?

What are you doing here?

- You said you missed me.

- So you just show up at my house?

What about the tour?

- I wanted to see you.

From the looks, you could use a ride.

* We fly so high, we fly together *

* We fly together

* We are a girl gang, like birds of a feather *

* Like birds of a feather

* We fly so high, we fly together *

* We fly together

* We are a girl gang, like birds of a feather *

* Like birds of a feather

(dramatic music)

- So how was church?

Did you still get something out of it without me there?

- What, why are you asking that?

- I'm just making conversation.

- Oh, sorry.

Yeah, it was fine.

- Look, I know you're upset about the whole brownie

and pity party approach, but if there's something

that you wanna talk to me about, you can.

- I know that.

- It's just that you're like suspiciously quiet,

and it's kind of freaking me out.

- Maybe i'm just nervous about the game.

Recruiters are coming and all that stuff.

- Well, it's normal to be nervous.

It's something that is important to you

and that you wanna go well, which it will.

- Thanks, Luna.

- Anything else up?

- Nope, that's really it.

(dramatic music)

- Thanks for the ride.

- It was really good seeing you, Birdie.

- It was good seeing you too.

I can't, please.

- But I'm here for you.

- I know.

- That's why I came back so that we could start fresh.

- Oh, Spike, that's not why I texted you.

I mean, of course I miss you, but.

- But?

- But I think I moved on.

- I don't believe that for a second.

- Well, believe it.

I think we should just be friends.

- We can't be friends.

I know you still love me.

I know you do.

- Well, I kissed somebody else.

- Who?

- It doesn't matter who.

I just said that because I don't want you to live

in that fantasy world anymore where we're still in love

with each other, okay?

That's the only reason I said that.

- Who, Birdie?

- It doesn't matter, I gotta go, thanks for the ride.

(car door shuts loudly)

(people chattering)

- Hey, what the?

(dramatic music) (people chattering)

- Hey.

Ellie, can we please talk?

(locker slams shut)

I'm really sorry.

Just let me explain.

(dramatic music)

- What are you even doing to me?

- Yeah, I don't know.

You're just trying to get me off balance.

- [Rooney] Hey.

- Hi.

- I wanted to talk to you.

- Oh, now you wanna talk to me, cool.

- Yeah, and it's important.

What's with the attitude?

- Is it about Stephanie?

- How'd you know?

- [Spike] Hey, Ty!

- Spike!

Stop, stop, please. - Get off me, get off me.

- Please just don't. - Get off of me.

- Hold up.

- You kiss my girl, my girl, bro?

- I never kissed your girl, man.

- You kissed my girl? - Stop, both of you!

- [Ty] You better back up off of me.

- Oh, so you're lying to me.

So you're lying to me.

- Stop, both of you! - Get away from me, bro.

- What are you gonna do, bro?

- Back off of me.

- So she's a liar. - Please, both of you.

(intense music)

- [Birdie] What is your problem?

Get up.

- Ty, what is he talking about?

- It's not what it looks like.

I was gonna tell you.

Can we just talk about this in private?

- Keep walking. - You're a liar!

- Keep walking.

- Oh, am I embarrassing you?

Am I making too much of a scene?

Sorry this is so hard for you.

- Luna!

- Just keep walking, please.

(intense music)

- All right, which long response question should we pick?

- What about the ones about themes and motifs?

I love a good motif.

- Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

- Do you want to focus on the theme of rivalry

or something else 'cause?

- No, that sounds good, yeah.

- Cool.

I guess you saw that.

- Yeah, but no judgment or anything, we've all been there.

Just kinda surprises me 'cause you know the material

and you're super smart, so.

- Yeah, I guess, I just have all these ideas in my head,

and I can't put them on paper.

Something gets lost in the translation, so.

Actually, can I level with you?

- Sure.

- I am actually dyslexic.

I haven't really told many people,

but that's why I listen to audiobooks all the time

'cause it's just easier for me.

- Thanks for telling me.

It's super cool that you trust me like that.

- I do trust you.

You're a really cool girl, Rhyme.

(fire alarm blaring)

- Do you think it's an actual fire?

- No, it's probably just a drill.

(fire alarm blaring)

(gentle music)

- You should get some ice on that.

- It's fine.

- What were you thinking?

- I was thinking I still love you,

and I wanted to kill that guy.

All I can think about is you guys just kissing.

- He didn't even kiss me back.

Whatever, it doesn't matter.

- Birdie, why did you even wanna see me?

- Because there was something wrong with my brain

from the accident, and I thought it was getting better.

It's not, I just keep having.

- Nightmares?

- Mm-hmm.

- I have them too.

- You do?

- Yeah.

I went to the doctors, and they said I have this PTSD.

Loud noises or car horns, even driving just gives me

the worst panic attacks.

I couldn't get behind the wheel of a car for three months.

- I thought I was the only one.

- Well, you're not.

(dramatic music) (fire alarm blaring)

- Hey, Luna, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

I refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry.

- Listen, Luna, I saw what happened between Birdie and Ty.

- What?

- Well, I was at church too.

I saw them, but they didn't see me.

They were just sitting together,

and it all just kind of happened.

But it was all Birdie.

I mean, Ty didn't really kiss her back.

- Didn't really kiss her?

- [Britney] I mean, I don't think he saw it coming.

- Can you just stay out of my business?

(fire alarm blaring)

- Hey you.

- Hey.

- What's up?

Your vibe's off.

- My vibe is off?

- Yeah, you seem a little down or something.

- Yeah, I guess I am.

- Well, I'm all ears if you wanna talk about it.

- Things have just been really weird between me and Astrid.

She's going through some pretty heavy family stuff,

and I don't know how to help her.

- Well, we're just in high school.

We're not supposed to have all the answers, right?

Especially when it comes to the heavy stuff.

(easygoing music)

- Hello and welcome to the first regional debate

between Attaway and Millwood.

Representing the Millwood Debate Society, we have Calvin.

(students clapping) (students cheering weakly)

- Boo.

- And from Attaway, we have Ellie Mack.

(students cheering) (students applauding)

Today's debate topic:

Is it ever morally acceptable to withhold the truth?

Representing... (door creaks)

(dramatic music)

- [Flash] All right, come on, guys, let's get ready.

We've got a big game today.

- Okay, everybody better be decent,

and if you're not, well you've been warned.

- Jesus, Luna, you can't just barge

into the boys' locker room like this.

- Okay, well, I just did.

Everyone that isn't Ty, get out.

- What?

- Out!

- Hey, you know I could've met you somewhere other than

the boys' locker room, right?

- Yeah, well, the game's about to start,

and it's gonna be quick.

- Look, I'm so sorry, Luna.

- Not, not now, Ty.

We'll talk about all that later.

But I just wanted to tell you

that I'll be out in the stands cheering you on.

I know how important this game is to you,

and I don't want our drama to stand in your way.

- Thank you so much.

That means the world to me.

- Not now, Ty.

Like I said, we'll talk about all that later.

But just go out there and focus on the game, okay?

- Thanks for, thanks for, thank you

for driving all this way.

I guess I'll see you when I see you.

Bye.

- Birdie, wait, wait.

I'll move back to Attaway.

We'll start new.

I still love you.

- I love you too, but I'm not in love with you.

It took a very, very long time for me to get to that place.

And I know it's hard, but I just think you should go, okay?

You know this would never work.

Get some ice on that, okay?

(crying)

- No situation is black or white.

Life is full of gray areas.

We can't possibly set a steadfast moral standard

and say that any kind of lie or omission of truth

is ethically wrong.

If it is to reduce harm,

it is potentially morally excusable.

- That's where I'd have to strongly disagree with you.

Relationships are built on the foundation of trust.

Without trust, we have nothing.

Even a white lie can cause that foundation to crumble.

We second guess everything we encounter

and everything we're told.

If we can't take anything at face value,

(voice cracking) then we would end up

in a deeply paranoid, confused and broken relationship.

In conclusion, I would have to agree with the philosopher

Immanuel Kant, that lying could cause a complete

collapse of, (crying softly)

I'm sorry, I just can't.

(easy listening music) (people chattering)

- All right, so, chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin?

- I'm not hungry.

- Come on, you don't want this soft gooey perfection?

They're your favorite. - Yeah.

- Look, it's very nice of you guys to try and cheer me up,

but a cookie's not gonna fix anything.

- No, but I mean, it definitely helps.

(upbeat music)

- I just can't believe I blew it.

- You didn't blow it. - Mm-mm.

- You were amazing, you were confident, articulate.

- Yeah. - And--

- Hysterical.

- Come on, Ellie, most of us would never

even have the courage to get up there.

Or to do what you did with Robbie.

- She's right, you were so brave.

- Do you really think so?

- Of course we do.

- These are really good.

(girls laughing)

(smacking camera)

(Rooney grunts)

- Need any help?

- The flash won't shut.

- Want me to try?

(gentle music)

What happened?

- Mel knocked into me this morning, and I dropped it.

- I'm really sorry.

She's upset.

- That doesn't give her the right.

- She's upset that I broke up with her.

- Oh, you did?

(uplifting music)

- [Birdie] Next time on "Chicken Girls."

- Supposedly if you knock three times, right at midnight,

the ghost of this little girl would knock back.

I heard a deafening knock.

- What was that?

- Knock. - Oh my God.

- No. - Knock.

(girls screaming)
