Help!

Amelie!

Where are you?

Where's my daughter?

I said, where's my daughter?

Scott?

What's going on out there?

I guess Amelie really
wants that captain's slot

on the cheerleading team.

I've never seen
her work so hard,

or get out of bed so early.

Speaking of bed...

I don't know about you,
but I've got work to do.

Oh yeah?

We'll see about that.

Look I have to get ready, so,

you either get breakfast, or--

Or?

Save some room for dessert?

Good morning, Amelie.

- Honey, don't run by the pool.
- It's fine.

You don't want to break
your legs before tryouts.

It's fine.

Okay, let's eat.

I don't have time.

Lisa's going to be here
in like 10 minutes.

I knew you'd be in a rush,

which is why I made
you a protein shake.

You can take it with you.

I just really don't
want to be late.

Coach Nina's tough, you know?

- Who?
- Dad, we talked about this.

- Coach Nina.
- Amelie's new coach, Scott.

She used to be a
professional cheerleader.

Right, right.

She kicked one of
the girls off the team

for just chewing gum.

- Geez.
- I just really

don't want her to think that
I'm not good enough.

I was a cheerleader
for a long time,

and you're as good
as anyone I've seen.

Yeah, that was
a long time ago,

so things might have changed.

Even if it was a
hundred years ago,

some things don't change.

Talent and hard
work still count.

I gotta go, Lisa's going
to be here any second.

- Don't forget this.
- Okay, thanks.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye.

Bye, honey.

You really think she's
going to drink that?

No.

What are you laughing at now?

How long ago were
you a cheerleader?

Don't forget I have got moves
that you have never seen.

- Wow.
- Mmm-hmm.

This is going
to be a good day.

Thanks again for
letting me drive.

No problem.

You've had your learner's
permit for like forever.

Why doesn't your mom just
let you practice with her?

I don't know.

She's always worried that I'm
going to get hurt or something.

She treats me like a child.

Can you believe that
Natasha's trying out for cheer?

She's so fat that when
we're running laps,

you can hear her thighs squeak.

Natasha isn't fat.

I'm pretty sure I'm
the same size as her.

You said it, not me.

Amelie, I see Ethan, pull over.

Amelie, I see Ethan, pull over!

This is my car,

and I'm not supposed
to pick up anyone.

Lisa, don't be a drag.

Ethan's car is in the shop

and I told him
we'd give him a ride.

- Hey, Ethan.
- Ethan.

Hey, Ethan.

Thanks for the ride, ladies.

How are you doing, Lisa?

Eh.

How about you, Amelie?

That's good, eyes on the road.

No distractions, huh?

Ethan, do you
get your car back today?

Yeah, I'm picking
it up from the shop

during lunch break.

Could you give me
a ride after school?

Sure, whatever.

Morning!

You nearly scared me to death.

I'm sorry, I hope you
didn't hurt yourself

with that coffee.

No, I'm fine.

And more importantly,

I didn't spill anything
on the new stock.

What brings you in so early?

I was on the phone with
our new supplier in Shanghai

at three in the morning
for two hours.

Is everything all right?

It is now.

It was just some
confusions over quantities,

but once I had it
all sorted out,

I couldn't get back to sleep,

so I figured I might
as well come in early.

After all, today's the big day.

Big day?

If you close the deal with
Pickett Line Venture Capital,

Sun Style is going
to the big time.

This is just the first meeting,

don't crack open
the champagne yet.

Who needs a reason to drink?

That was rough.

I didn't know a tryout
could be so hard.

I dropped the catch
like three times.

My arms feel like noodles.

I'm never going to be
as good as my mother.

I can tell it
was hard for you.

I'm sure if you practiced more,
maybe you'd be better.

Thanks Tanya, how'd you do?

Fantastic.

I feel so good, I could
do it all over again.

Tanya, I need to talk to you.

Can you come to my office now?

Sure.

I mean, I'm supposed
to meet someone in--

It won't take long.

Yes, Coach Nina...

Do you think
Tanya's in trouble?

No, I think Coach Nina's
probably

going to make her captain.

No way, you're so
much better than her.

My mom was captain.

That's what I want to be.

You're doing good work, Tanya.

I've seen how much
you've improved

and how much stronger
you're getting.

Thank you, Coach Nina, I've--

But I don't want you
to get arrogant.

You've still got
a long way to go.

I know, I mean, I'm not--

Have you been working out?

Doing the dumbbell exercises?

Yeah, I've been doing--

Are you taking the supplements
that I recommended?

Well, the...

If you want to be captain,
I need you to be strong.

Lean muscle mass is crucial.

You only get very few chances
in this life, Tanya.

Do you know what I mean?

I think so.

You have a chance
to do something great.

To help take our team to
the national championship.

But if you lose that chance,

you'll never get it back.

I never got mine back, Tanya.

Keep taking those,
and keep working out.

I won't let you down,
Coach Nina.

I know you won't.

Thanks for giving me

a ride home from practice,
Coach Alvers.

Oh, not a problem, Nina.

You know how much I enjoy
our time together, don't you?

I guess...

You should, you're
a talented athlete.

But you're also a
well-rounded, smart,

capable young woman.

Thanks.

It's true.

You're physically strong,
well-coordinated,

and you have the smarts to know
what it takes to win.

Speaking of winning,
have you thought about

what we talked about
last week?

Yes, I've stepped up
my workouts

outside of practice.

Especially my core exercises
to five or six times a week,

and doing homework
all day Sunday.

That's great, Nina.

But I was actually thinking
about something else.

Something to make
your practices

and workouts more effective.

You mean the...

Now I found this
in your locker.

Oh.

I gave these to you
last week,

which means they should
be empty by now.

But that's not really
getting with the program,

now is it?

I'm sorry.

It's just I've read things
about these pills

and the things they can do.

Especially to girls.

They make you stronger,
yes, but--

I would never do anything
to hurt any of my girls.

Especially you.

You know that, don't you?

I know that.

It's just on your left.

Mrs. Regan is here.

- Hi.
- Come in, come in.

- Kelly?
- Hi, yes.

- I'm Marley Pickett.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
Please take a seat.

Oh, thank you.

You have a very lively office.

Yeah, I like to work in a space
that promotes creativity.

Sadly, I don't get to spend
as much time here as I'd like.

I have to stay mobile.

Wherever one of my
companies has a problem,

that's where I go.

Right now, my biggest
problem is this

scooter rental company I funded.

What's wrong with it?

Well, people keep
cannibalizing the scooters

and selling the parts.

I have to figure out
a way to stop it.

Wouldn't it be easier
to make the parts

so inexpensive that
even if they're stolen,

you could just replace them

and still make money
on the rentals?

I don't know
if we could do that,

but I like the way you think.

Thank you.

I feel very creative
around you.

I'm going to like
working with you.

- Thank you.
- Excuse me a second.

Yeah, Marley here.

Hi.

We were supposed to meet outside
and then go to the mall.

Oh, I can't do that.

I got other plans.

Oh.

What were you doing
in Coach Nina's office?

- Are you in trouble?
- No.

She just gave me
some more of these.

What are these?

I don't know, just
vitamins, I guess.

Why?

Cool.

Hey, those are mine.

I don't want to get in trouble.

You're not going
to get in trouble.

Unless I tell everyone
you're getting drugs

from Coach Nina.

You'll get kicked out of school
and she'll get fired.

Ethan, you'd
better not do that.

I got to go work out.

Ethan, you jerk.

You were supposed
to give me a ride.

Why weren't you in
the weight room tonight?

I could've used a spotter.

Sorry man, I had to go home.

I'm telling you bro, between
this stuff I've been taking,

and now the stuff
I got from Tanya,

I'm going to be so ripped.

Oh, what?

Can I get some of that?

No man, get your own stuff.

You're always riding
my coattails, dude.

Hey!

Hey, are you kidding me,
what are you doing?

This is my spot.

Seriously, hey.

What are you doing,
get out of here!

This is my spot.

What's your problem?
I was here first, it's mine.

Call 911!

Did he say yes?

Marley had his accounts people
run our numbers

and they liked them.

Did he say yes?

He and his staff
tested all our products.

Did he say yes?

And they love everything,
the way our line looked

and felt, everything.

So he said yes?

Maybe.

Maybe he said yes?

He said maybe,

and that he'll let us know
as soon as possible.

That's not a yes.

It's not a no...

What's this all about?
Did something happen to Ethan?

Hmm?

Amelie.

Lisa, what happened?

- It's Ethan.
- What happened?

They're saying it
was a car accident.

Is he hurt? I don't...

No, he's dead.

Oh my God, Lisa...

Okay, they've
canceled classes.

I think we should head home.

Lisa, honey, do you need a ride?

Mmm-hmm, thank you.

I drove here.

No, you're a little shaken
up, though, okay?

Maybe you can come back
and get your car later.

Okay.

It's Coach Nina.

What did she say?

She says that cheer practice
and tryouts are not canceled.

That is so hardcore.

She says since
there's no class,

she expects us at
practice by 8:30.

You're kidding.

Noelle, I know
someone has to be last,

but why does it
always have to be you?

Good morning, Coach Nina.

Morning, Mrs. Regan.

Amelie, Lisa, why don't
you girls go inside

and get suited up?

Before they do that, do
you have a moment to talk?

Yeah, always happy
to talk to a parent.

Noelle, pick up your feet!

Sorry about that, I always
have to keep up on them.

Look, I don't want
to second guess you,

but do you think it's
wise to have practice?

School was canceled today.

I know, but it gives
me more of a chance

to work on the girls with things
that need attention.

But a young boy died today.

A boy these girls know.

I realize that, but they'll
have time to mourn.

Girls, I'm really sorry
about what happened to Evan.

Ethan.

Ethan.

But it was an accident.

Ethan was an athlete,
and from what I know,

a really dedicated one.

I think you would
honor his memory most

by doing your best
today at practice,

instead of going home.

- That may be, but--
- Mrs. Regan...

I also think that this'll help
keep the girls' minds

off their problems
for a couple of hours.

- Possibly, but--
- Mom.

But you're not
their mother, and I--

Mom, you're embarrassing me.

I'm sorry, honey,
I didn't mean to.

It's okay, I just...
I want to go to practice.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

What about you, Lisa?

I want to go home.

I'll give you a lift.

Thank you, Mrs. Regan.

I'll have them out by noon.

Do you have someone
to pick her up,

or do you want me
to give Amelie a lift?

Thank you, that's
very kind of you,

but I'll take care of it.

Okay, bye, sweetheart,
I'll see you at noon.

- Okay, thanks Mom.
- Okay.

Bye Lisa.

Why don't you text your mom

and let her know
I'm bringing you home?

Okay.

Lamar, you're the principal.

When you hired me to coach
the cheerleading team,

you said you wanted the best.

I realize that and
I do want the best,

but some of the
parents are complaining

about the long hours.

You have to remember
these are just children

and they have other obligations.

Yeah, well if they're
not going to learn

responsibility now,
when will they?

Now why don't we continue
this discussion after school.

Come in.

Hi, I'm Detective Jack Logan.

I called earlier and
said I'd be coming by.

Are you Nina Sendak?

I am and I was expecting you.

Is this a bad time?

No.

No, Principal Graham and I
were just finishing up.

Why don't we
talk later, Coach?

Detective.

It's nice to
meet you in person.

Why are you interviewing me
about a student's car accident?

Standard procedure.

I'm talking to all
the teachers and staff.

Is there more to it
than a car accident?

Well, this is confidential.

I understand.

We found drugs
in a student's car.

Marijuana?

Steroids.

Unprescribed.

We believe he died
of a heart attack

brought on by steroid use.

That's awful.

I never suspected.

Well, it's not uncommon,
as I'm sure you know,

for athletes to try
anything to get an edge.

Do you have any idea

where Ethan may have been
getting the steroids?

Not yet.

Coaches, friends,

even Ethan's girlfriend, Tori?

Tanya.

Right, Tanya Herrington, yeah.

She said she had no idea.

Well I'm sorry I
can't be of any help.

I don't have any
useful information.

Alrighty.

Thank you for your time
and sorry to hear about Ethan.

It's horrible,
but accidents happen.

Yeah. I'll be in touch.

Waiting for someone,
pretty lady?

You got it?

I do, but you first.

Yeah...

Okay.

What you need all this for?

What do you care?

Someone told me
you're actually helping

to boost this country's next
great generation of athletes.

So what?

So I don't think your
fellow educators would approve

of you sharing this
with your students.

You know, that's
none of your business.

This is your business.

You've got my money,
now give me the stuff.

I need some more
of your money.

Price goes up,
and the risk goes up.

The risk is all mine,
give me the stuff.

I want five hundred more.

Next time maybe, not now.

Now.

Or there won't
be a next time.

There won't even
be a this time.

Listen!

No, you get your hands off
my car you crazy lady,

nobody touches my ride.

I'm sorry, I--

Please, don't...

Don't ever touch my car.

I have your money.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Is this green too bright?

Maybe.

Do you think we'll
hear from him?

Hear from who?

You know who, Mr. Moneybags.

- Marley?
- Yes, Marley Pickett.

It's been almost two weeks
and he hasn't said anything

about whether or not
he wants to fund us.

I'm sure we'll know soon.

If he calls within the
next few days, that's a yes.

And if we don't hear
from him, that's a no.

Which green do you like better?

The kind of green
that Marley Pickett's

supposed to give us.

Why are you so nervous?

Sun Style's doing fine.

We're keeping up the borders
and paying our bills,

we'll get funding
from someone eventually.

I know, it's
just I was convinced

he was the one that was
going to make us rich.

Is everything okay, Nat?

Is there anything
I can help you with?

No, everything's fine.

You know me, I've got the
patience of a rattlesnake.

And I think I see your daughter
coming back from her run.

I'll never have
to hire a watch dog

as long as you're around.

I'm a little worried
she's overdoing it.

You're supposed to worry,
you're a mother.

If you didn't, they would
revoke your mommy card.

Mommy card?

Mommy cards, they send
them out in the mail.

You have to get them renewed
every year like a dog license.

Don't you have to
go brew up some sort

of super duper protein shake
to help keep her strong?

Yes, I will be back
in a half an hour

so we can go over the
samples and the numbers.

You better hurry,
she might collapse.

Oh my God, Tanya, I'm so sorry,
I didn't mean to drop you.

Yeah, right.
What's up, klutzo?

Klutzo?

Yeah, that's the third time
you've dropped me.

Hey, she didn't
do it on purpose.

No one asked you.

Look, if you're too wimpy
to cut it,

take your spaghetti arms
and go home,

but don't ever
drop me. Okay, ever.

What's your problem?

Tanya!

Let's break this up.

Tanya, go to the locker room.
That's it for the day.

- Whatever.
- Excuse me?

I'm sorry, I mean
yes, Coach Nina.

That's better.

Amelie...

Let's go to my office.

I mean, Tanya's right.

Ever since my growth
spurt this year,

I'm too tall to lift
and I'm not strong enough

to lift the other girls.

Are you doing all
of your core exercises?

I am, but I'm so lame
they're not working.

I know it's hard, Amelie,

and I know that you're really
worried about showing results.

I mean, I don't want
to just make the squad.

Don't get me wrong,
that's huge,

but I really want
to be captain.

I want to make my mom proud.

Well I'm pretty sure
you'll make the squad.

Thank you, Coach Nina.

But even though you do
have a lot of potential,

if you want to be captain--

I do.

Then you have to be the best.

I'll do anything.

I want to show you something.

What are those?

I took these when I was a
cheerleader before my injury.

I still take them now.

Are they vitamins?

You might say that,
sort of.

They're supplements.

What do they do?

Well they help build
lean muscle mass, you know,

combined with a
really good workout,

they can help you with
your strength issues.

If you're dedicated.

I do really want
to be captain.

But I don't know if I can
take those from you.

First of all, Amelie,

this conversation is
just between you and me.

I think it's better if
your parents don't know.

I understand.

And I can't give you these.

Why not?

What I can do,
is leave them here.

I'm leaving now,
but if you want them,

the bottle is there
for you to take.

It's entirely your decision.

I'll see you at
practice tomorrow.

Be careful.

Okay, I'm just
going to warm that.

We're getting pretty close here,

is our daughter
going to grace us

with her presence this evening?

She's exhausted,
as I said

I've never seen
her work so hard.

Well it's a good thing,
isn't it?

I guess.

Did you hear something?

Hear what?

Nothing, I'll check.

- This is looking good here.
- Okay.

Scott, there's someone
sitting in a car outside.

It's probably just a teenager.

You know kids at that age,
they've got nothing to do

but hang out in cars.

I guess.

Honey, the chicken's
ready, come on.

Okay, I'll be
there in a minute.

I just want to
check one more thing.

But the salad isn't ready!

Yes, I'm going to come
help you with the salad,

just hold on.

Hi, Mrs. Regan.

I hope I didn't startle you.

Oh my God, Coach Nina,
I am so sorry.

Please come in.

You know, again,
I am so sorry.

I was just reaching
for the doorbell--

No, it was my fault.

I was being the
snoopy homeowner.

Thank you again for bringing
Amelie's backpack over.

I'm really sorry if it
inconvenienced you, Coach.

No, I just didn't want
you worrying about it.

You know, it's nice to come
and meet my girls' families.

I don't have
daughters of my own.

Can you tell us more

about the time you were
a cheerleader with Dallas?

I didn't actually
perform for Dallas,

or in the NFL.

I did the tryouts, I was hired
while I was still in college.

Why didn't you go?

I was injured, but honestly,
I didn't want to be a pro.

I liked competitive
cheerleading more.

Why?

Well, to go to the nationals.

To win the big competitions,

that's what I
really wanted to do.

But I never did.

And that's what I want for you.

That's what I want, too.

To win a championship,
and then a scholarship.

It's impressive how
Amelie's so ambitious.

Well, she gets
that from her mom.

She was a cheerleader too,
you know.

I didn't know that.

I was.

That's why I have
a present for Amelie.

What?

Open it!

Mom, this is your
championship ring.

I thought you could hold
onto it until you win your own.

I'm going to be a champion,
just like you.

I didn't realize that
you won a championship.

Oh, Kelly took her
squad all the way

to National Championships twice.

The Nationals, really?

We were very fortunate,
and we had a great coach.

Have you ever been to nationals?

Not yet.

I was on the squad,
but then I got pregnant.

Really? What happened?

Amelie...

It's fine.

- I lost the baby.
- I'm so sorry.

That's...

That must have been
very challenging.

It was, but it focused me.

And since I can't
have children of my own,

my team, every girl on
the squad, is my child.

It's wonderful that
you found your passion.

Mom, do we have
any more egg whites?

No, you finished them, but
I'll pick up some more today

when I go to the supermarket.

Thanks.

You've certainly
grown an appetite

in the last couple of weeks.

I just want to be strong.

I've got to build muscle
if I'm going to be a lifter.

That's fine, as
long as you're safe.

Are you going to finish that?

I'm glad you're so dedicated

to your cheerleading practice,

but I haven't seen you
doing much homework lately.

I'm fine.

I'm serious, Amelie,

if you want to stay
on the cheer squad,

you have to promise me that
you'll keep your grades up.

I promise, promise, promise
I'll keep the grades up.

Thank you.

I love you.

What?

I can't hug my
little girl anymore?

Just let me know
whenever you need help.

Oh, and don't forget
that tonight

we've got the mother daughter
benefit dinner

at the women's shelter.

I forgot.

Amelie, how could you forget?

We go every year.

It's just...

Okay fine, whatever.

Can you just pick me up
after practice?

I'd love to.

Oh, and don't forget to
bring an outfit with you.

Wow.

You got so much better.

When you lifted me
during practice,

it felt a lot smoother.

That's because I'm a
genuine power girl now.

Where are you flying off
to now, power girl?

My mom's picking me
up, actually,

there's this mother
daughter charity thing

that she wants to go to.

It's corny, but she really
wants to do it, so.

Okay, well, I'll
see you later then?

Yeah, I'll catch you tomorrow?

Yes, bye dude.

Amelie.

Oh my God, Coach Nina...

You leaving already?

I thought practice was over?

But I thought you were going
to work out after practice?

I am, I was, I mean...

I promised I'd meet my mom.

Do you want to
go to nationals?

I do.

And do you want to become
captain and win a scholarship?

I do, Coach Nina, but--

But nothing.

I suggest you go back in there
and start working out.

Scott, I bought
some frozen pizzas

in case you're feeling
too lazy to cook.

Oh, thanks.

I thought I might pick up
some pad thai on the way home.

Now go have fun with Amelie.

Oh, she's texting me now.

What's she saying?

She said she can't make it,

she has to stay
late for practice.

How many times is it
this month?

I don't know and I
planned this for weeks.

Is her practice schedule
getting out of control?

I'm starting to think so.

I'm sorry, honey.

I guess you're stuck with me.

Make sure you pick up
enough noodles for two

and I can go over some numbers
in my office after dinner.

Your wish is my command.

See you soon.

Thanks, bye.

¶ Down the lonely road I go ¶

¶ To wash away my sins ¶

¶ When you hear
that mournful cry ¶

¶ You'll know just
where I've been ¶

Hey, honey.

I'm going to go for a run

to burn off some
of this pad thai.

Thanks again for
picking up dinner.

I use the skills that I have.

Be safe.

I will, don't
work too late, okay?

I'll try not to.

Scott? Is that you?

Scott?

Scott, is that you?

Scott?

Kelly?

Whoa, hey! It's me!

It's Marley.

Oh my gosh.

I am so sorry, are you okay?

Yeah, I take it you
didn't get my text

that I was coming by.

No, I left my phone in
the house before dinner

and I was working out here.

I tried the front door,
there was no answer.

I saw a light in the
backyard so I came around.

You could get killed that way.

Yeah, or at least
scrubbed clean.

Oh my gosh.

I'm so sorry, can
I get you something?

Do you want to sit down?
Water, beer?

Thank you, I've caused
you enough trouble.

I just wanted to come by
and tell you face to face

that I want to fund Sun Style.

That is wonderful!

But why did you come tonight?

I'm not really an
office hours kind of guy,

and I like to give
good news face to face.

I hope it's not always
this exciting.

Yeah, no.

But this is exciting!

You're funding Sun Style!

Thank you so much!

I can't wait to start
working with you.

We're going to do
great things together.

Expect a call from my lawyers
in the next day or two

about contracts and uh,
I've got to bounce.

Got a few more appointments,
but we'll talk soon.

Thank you!

Did you drive here?

No, I took one of my scooters.

Saving the planet and all that.

Oh, nice. Bye!

Poor Ethan's parents,
losing their son.

Is there anywhere
you want to go?

Or do you want to hang out
with your friends?

I'm going to go see
what Lisa's doing.

Okay, I love you,
sweetheart.

Yeah, okay.

Hey, Tanya.
How are you feeling?

As if you care what I feel.

What does that mean?

You know what I mean.

You only cared about
making captain,

you never cared about
Ethan at all and now he's dead.

That's not true!

Liar!

What's wrong with you?
Don't touch me!

- Amelie, stop it!
- Break it up!

- Enough!
- She hit me first!

You broke my arm.

I did not,
you hit me!

Okay, let's go home.

Amelie, do what
your mother says.

You are my daughter,
you know better than this.

Right, because
you're so perfect.

Amelie, go home and rest.

I need you strong
for practice tomorrow.

Mrs. Regan, take
care of my star.

I will take care
of my daughter,

but I would like to continue
this conversation tomorrow

if you have the time.

Yeah, come after practice.

Tanya, let's go.

So this Tanya girl
really broke her arm?

No, thank goodness,
but it's a nasty sprain.

Wow, cheerleading is
more intense than I thought.

I don't know if
it's just cheerleading.

Amelie hasn't been
acting the same lately.

Well, come on, honey.

You know, teenage girls and
mood swings are nothing new.

But this is
something different.

Amelie was so fierce.

I have never seen
anything like that.

Well, you do get that
in sports sometimes.

I mean, football players
can get like that.

Although in their case,
they're usually on steroids.

You don't think
she's on something?

Steroids?

No, come on.

Like I said,
teenage girls.

I'm tired, I'm going
to go to bed.

Okay.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Scott...

Yeah?

I don't want to overreact,
but I'm her mother.

Amelie is my only child
and something tells me

this is more than
teenage girl stuff.

Okay.

I think Amelie needs to
stay away from Coach Nina.

All right.

I'll back you up on that
as long as you realize

she is going to be so upset
when we tell her.

Yeah.

Night.

Love you.

Love you too.

All right ladies, keep going.

Work hard, I want five more!

I want winners.

Wow, it's loud.

Yeah, wow is right.

Strong winners,
I want winners.

We are winners!

Take five!

Scott and I appreciate
how hard you've been working

with the girls, but
after that incident

between Tanya and
Amelie yesterday...

We're just worried about Amelie
keeping her life balanced.

I'm upset about
the incident too.

But clearly Tanya was the
one who was the instigator,

which is why
she's off the squad.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But Scott and I think Amelie
should take a break as well.

What, no!

No, that's not fair!

Amelie.

I just want a chance to win,
Mom had hers.

You're taking mine away.

You are not helping
your cause right now.

I respect your decision,

but this is bad news
for the team.

We appreciate how
much your value Amelie--

We have nationals in two weeks

and with Tanya
out of the picture...

I planned on
making Amelie captain.

Really?

That's amazing, thank you.

Please can I stay on the team?

Honey, what do you think?

If we say yes, do you
promise that you'll keep--

I'll do anything, I promise
to keep up my grades up,

I'll clean the house,
I'll do whatever you want.

Please.

We don't want to deprive
you of the opportunity.

But you have got to
listen to everything

that your mother and I
tell you, understood?

Promise.

Thank you!

Thank you.

I'm just confused
over this point.

I thought Marley Pickett's
people already agreed

to pick up those costs.

Can you hold on Laura?

I've got to get my daughter out
the door for school.

Bye, Mom.

Amelie, do you
have your lunch?

Sorry Laura, my
daughter just zoomed by.

Oh no, she forgot her backpack.

Can I call you back?

We already put a
deposit on the fabric,

so I don't see why
you're telling me

we have to pay before
you'll deliver it,

that's not our agreement.

Nat, do you know what these are?

Mr. DeCaro, I'll
have to call you back.

Have a good day.

What do you have here?

I don't know, do you
know what they are?

I think they're pills.

Nat, don't be cute.

I found them in
Amelie's backpack

and after the way
she's been acting lately--

How are your allergies?

I don't have allergies.

Then you won't need these.

What do you mean?

They're antihistamines.

Are you sure?

Yes, non-drowsy, too.

So you've got nothing
to worry about.

Oh my gosh.

I am so relieved.

I can't believe how stressed
I am about Amelie.

Is it more than the regular
mother daughter stuff?

I don't know, I've never
had a teenager in the house

before so it could--

Mom! What are you doing?

What are you doing back home?

I forgot my bag so
I came back to get it.

Why are you snooping in it?

She was just asking me if
I would drive it to school

for you and some stuff fell out.

- Liar, I hate you both.
- Wait, Amelie!

I would let her cool down.

I just miss my
sweet little daughter.

Do you think this kind
of change is normal?

The bad news is it probably is.

The good news is that you
are ready for pollen season.

Okay, thanks.

Hey, I've got
something to tell you.

I don't really want
to talk to you.

I didn't say I
wanted to talk to you.

That would imply I cared
what you had to say.

I've got something to tell you.

What?

I covered for you.

You did?

I told your mom
those weren't steroids.

But they're not steroids,
they're supplements.

I don't know what
you think they are,

but I used to run track
and field in college,

I know steroids
when I see them.

Okay, even if they are,
why didn't you tell her?

I should've,

but I really don't want
to see you get in trouble.

I did some things
when I was your age

and getting punished
never helped,

it just made me double down
and do even stupider things.

What kind of stupid things?

Nevermind.

The point is I need
you to promise me

you'll stop taking them

and I won't tell your mom
what they really are.

I'm not even
taking that many.

You shouldn't be taking any.

You don't need them
to get onto your squad.

You're on the cheer squad
now, aren't you?

Yeah.

So you can stop taking them.

Because if you don't
and your parents find out,

they will pull you off
that squad so fast

your head will spin.

Kind of defeats the
purpose of taking them

in the first place,
doesn't it?

Yeah, I guess.

Look, your mom is my best
friend in the whole world.

If she knew what
I was doing here,

I would be out not only a
friend, but probably a job.

Do you understand what
I'm risking for you?

Yeah, thanks.

You don't have to thank me.

Actually, I take that back.

You can thank me by making
more of an effort with your mom.

And by quitting those pills.

All right, I will.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

My muscles are still sore,
but this feels nice.

I'm so glad you
could come with me,

it's been ages since we've done
a mother daughter mani-pedi.

Do you like the nails the
same colors as your fingernails,

or do you want them clear?

Same color, I guess.

Do you want to go to
the art museum afterwards?

They opened a new tea room
on the roof of the museum.

Maybe.

Do you want me to help you

with your science
project this week?

It's not due for
another two weeks.

Careful, sensitive.

I'm sorry,
I'll be more gentle.

Two weeks isn't a lot of time,

especially when
you've got two papers due.

I know what I have due, Mom.

You don't need to
keep reminding me.

I didn't mean to be bossy,
I just want to help.

If you want to help,
maybe leave me alone sometime.

Amelie, I wasn't
going to bring it up,

but your father and I
got a notice from school

about your grades.

So?

We're supposed to meet
with the principal,

I'm afraid it's bad news.

What? No, that's so unfair.

Ow, careful, that hurts.

I'm so sorry.

Amelie, stop that.

Stop telling me what
to do, she stabbed me.

Amelie, it was an accident.

I want to go home now.

- Wait, Amelie--
- Now!

Amelie!

This is not good news.

Amelie has three D's, one C,
and it looks like an F in math.

What?

Amelie was always
such a stellar student,

which is why this comes
as such a surprise.

Well, I'm afraid it might
not be such a surprise.

What do you mean?

We both think Amelie
is too caught up

in her extracurricular
activities.

Cheerleading.

That's the chief one,
but it's clear

she needs to spend more time
focusing on studying.

I think it would be a shame

if a talented student
such as Amelie

dropped all of her
extracurricular activities.

Perhaps if you
hired a tutor, or--

Do you really think that
cheerleading is so important

that it should ruin her grades?

Not at all, I was
just saying that--

And we're worried
about her behavior.

If she wasn't
just a teenage girl,

I'd swear she's on something.

That is not funny, Scott.

It's not supposed to be.

I'm worried.

I understand your concerns,
but children--

I'm not sure you do.

I think Coach Nina is teaching
these kids the wrong values.

I'm actually going
to write a letter

to the school district
about my concerns.

You're certainly
entitled to be worried.

But do you think
it's Coach Nina's fault?

No, Amelie is our daughter
and our responsibility.

But, we both feel that

Coach Nina is not a
good influence on her.

What?

They're the girl's parents,
they can do what they want.

And did he really say

he thought his
daughter was on drugs?

He just said she was acting
like she was on something.

Do you think she could be?

Of course not.

I take care of my girls,
they're like my children.

My own children.

I don't tolerate anything
like that,

and you better know it.

I realize that, but you can't--

Why didn't you bring
this up earlier?

Before this happened?

How come you can't
talk to her teachers

about getting her grades up?

If she doesn't actually
do the work, that's illegal.

You can get fired for that.

Oh, and who's going to fire me?

You?

That would be the worst
sexual harassment case

in the history of this school.

Boss.

That's not fair,
you're the one who...

Shut up, Lamar.

What are you doing now?

I'm going to go
clean up a mess.

Amelie, I know you think
that we're being hard on you,

but we're just trying to do
what's best for you, okay?

Your grades cannot suffer
because of cheerleading.

Yeah, but you're going
to be sorry.

Amelie, your father and I
discussed this, okay?

If you get your grades up,

you'll get to rejoin
the cheer squad.

It'll be too late by then.

I know you want
to go to nationals.

But you might just have
to wait until next year.

If I'm not there,
the team doesn't go

and everybody hates me.

Amelie, that is not true.

You think I'm not good enough?

Now you're twisting my words.

Or are you afraid
I'm going to show you up

because I'm better than you?

Or are you just jealous
because you're old?

Amelie, that is not true
and it's just mean.

Your father and I
love you very much

and we are not
trying to punish you.

Yes you are,
and I hate you both!

Amelie...

Amelie!

I thought we'd settled this
yesterday with Marley's lawyers.

Why do they want
to discuss it again?

Apparently they want to go
over the contract again.

This is the second time
they've done this.

Oh, shoot.

What happened?

Oh, no, sorry,
that wasn't for you.

I left my wallet at home and
I'm headed to the gas station.

I need to go pick it up,
it's on the kitchen counter.

Come on...

Where would she hide it?

Yeah, I'm just pulling
into the driveway.

I'll be in and out in no time.

Got to go, bye.

Who are you?

I'm the new cleaning woman.

I was just leaving.

Kelly's had the
same cleaning woman

for years and you--

Why don't you mind
your own business?

I'm calling the cops.

No you're not.

Get off of me!

Marley?

Marley?

Sorry, I didn't
mean to wake you.

No, that's okay.

Sorry, I was working all night
I must have zonked hard.

Is this not a good time?
I could come back.

No, no, come on in.

I'm looking forward
to talking to you.

Would you like one?

It's the first entirely
organic brand of energy drink.

I own a piece of it.

No, but thank you.

I'm really excited
about Sun Style.

I've been talking
to my marketing team

about how to take it even wider.

Wider?

Yeah, rather than
just marketing towards

hikers and gardeners,
the UV-resistant line,

I was thinking maybe we should
go for a younger demographic.

You mean like infants
or toddlers?

Not that young.

The marketing team thinks
that we can reach out

and connect Sun Style with
trendsetters, party kids.

You think kids who go to
nightclubs worry about UV?

That's just the thing.

Our research shows
that they care a lot more

about health issues than
their parents did at that age.

They worry about everything.

Cigarettes, unhealthy food,
too much sun.

That's why this energy drink
sells so well to teenagers.

It tastes good,
it gives them a boost,

but it's also healthy,
or organic, anyway.

Really?

I didn't realize.

So with your permission,
I'd like to put more money

into Sun Style and create
a subsidiary fashion line

with a younger look.

I don't see why not.

You mean you like the idea?

I love it.

That's great.

Yeah, usually creators can
be protective of their concept.

Well, as far as I can tell,

my concept will
still be the same

and your idea will just
be an addition to that line.

That's right.

I love it.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Stop!

What are you doing here?

The better question is
what are you doing?

What I'm always doing.

What's that?

Protecting you.

I...

Oh, get it together, Nina.

Hey Lisa, can you help me?

How come you're
still working out?

I want to get strong
for the squad.

Can you spot?
I want to bench.

I can't, I thought
we were going home.

Do you still need a ride?

C'mon, it's like 15 minutes.

I need your help.

I can't, I told my mom
I'd be home by seven.

Why don't you just text her?

Because she wants me
to come home.

What is your problem?

I need your help,
are you my friend or not?

I am your friend--

If you're my friend,
then you'll help me.

Loser.

I know, can you believe that?

You said yes?

Of course I did!

Really?

Sounds like a weird way to
market UV protection clothes.

Scott, when someone
tells you they want to invest

more money in your company
and help you sell your stuff

to thousands more people,
you don't say, "No."

Yeah, I can't wait to tell Nat,

she's going to be
more excited than I am.

Oh my God.

Help!

Well, it's too early
to say for certain,

Mr. And Mrs. Regan, but this
looks like it was an accident.

So you're saying Nat
just fell into the pool?

How could that happen?
She knows how to swim.

Anyone can stumble or fall
and hit their head.

Happens a lot, trip and a fall.

And while it can feel senseless,
that's often the explanation.

Here.

Please call me if you
have any questions.

Thank you Detective Logan,
we will.

Thanks.

You okay?

Something's just not right.

Hey.

Hi.

I'm sorry that
I yelled at you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I've been
so freaked out lately.

No, I understand.

I heard about your mom's friend.

I can't believe it.

That's like the second
dead person we know.

I know, first Ethan
and now Nat.

She was cool, too.

How's your mom taking it?

Who cares?

She's heartless, she
made me quit cheerleading

and now I'm not going
to get a scholarship.

She doesn't care
about anyone.

- That's--
- Amelie.

I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to frighten you.

Hi, Lisa.

Can we talk for a moment?
Mmm-hmm.

It's just so unfair, you know?

I miss cheerleading,
it's just so unfair.

Do you really want
to go to nationals?

Well yeah, but I can't.

I think there's a way.

There's a way for
you to show your mom

you're just as good
as she is.

How if I'm not on the team?

Being off the team

means you can't participate
in school events.

I know.

I've enrolled the team
in the nationals,

which officially is not
a school event.

What does that mean?

It means that if you keep
working out, practicing--

Then I can go to nationals
with the team?

I can't stop you
from coming to the gym,

or going to the field
when we're practicing.

Really?

And I haven't told anyone
that you quit.

I didn't quit, my mom--

I know, you were forced to.

But I haven't told anyone,

so all you have
to do is show up.

And don't tell anyone.

Okay.

You're like a daughter to me.

Thank you.

You're my chance to finally win
after all these years.

I can't believe she's gone.

Me either.

So, I'll ship all
this stuff to her family?

Yeah, I told her sister I'd
send her all of Nat's things.

Okay.

When's the funeral?

I'm not sure if they're
having one, I think.

They're just doing
a memorial service

with her family in Tampa.

Makes it all feel so final.

I don't know how it
could get much worse.

Hey...

It's going to be okay.

It's going to
get better, okay?

Look, I'm going to
take care of this stuff.

Are you going to be all right?

Do you have anything
to do today?

I actually have another
appointment with Marley.

Are you sure
you're up for that?

Not really, but his lawyers
keep procrastinating

and my lawyers keep calling me,
which costs me money,

so, it's cheaper if I
just talk to him in person.

And I guess it'll keep
my mind off other things.

Okay, I'll get out of here.

Hey...

I love you.

I love you.

I'm sorry I didn't get back
to you sooner Mrs. Pemberton,

I was waiting for my client
at his office for an hour,

but he never showed up
or called.

I'll make sure to get
the billing out to you

as soon as I get
back to my office.

Oh no, I'm sorry,
can I call you back?

I'm just having a
little emergency.

No, I'm fine,
I'll call you back.

Okay.

I don't know who
could've done it, Scott,

but I'm okay.

The tire shop sent a tow truck

and I took an Uber to
a coffee shop to wait.

It probably was just some kids.

I'll let you know if
I learn anything else.

All right I love you,
talk to you later. Bye.

Hi, can I please get
a medium regular coffee,

with just a little room?

Caramel macchiato
for Liza?

Was that for Lisa?

Yes, I'm sorry about that.

Lisa?

- Hi, Mrs. Regan.
- Hi.

Where's Amelie,
isn't she with you?

Amelie? No.

She told me you guys
were hanging out together

after school today.

I did see Amelie.

At cheerleading practice.

Cheerleading practice?

Yeah, Amelie stayed afterward.

She said she wanted to go over
some moves with Coach Nina.

She's been off the team
for over a week.

I have to go now, Mrs. Regan.

I'm sorry, Lisa, I didn't mean

to put you in the
middle of all of this.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Scott, it's me again, call me.

We need to talk to somebody
about Coach Nina.

Lamar!

What the hell is going on here?

I'm betting it's a note

from the Superintendent
suspending you.

Why don't you sit down?

You can't fire me, I will
sue you for sexual harassment.

First of all,
you weren't fired.

You were suspended,
pending review.

Oh, what--

And secondly, Nina,
it's not from me,

it's from the Superintendent.

That means it's out of my hands.

Out of your hands?

Amelie Regan's parents
complained to the board.

I repeat, not to me.

Apparently several
other parents did as well.

Now, you'll get
your chance to present

your side of the case to
an employee review board.

No, if you don't help me,

I will make sure
you lose your job.

Nina, I can't help you,
this is out of my control.

I'll show you out of control.

Nina?

What are you doing at my house?

I'm sorry, I just wanted
to talk to you about practice

and I was passing by.

You came here to
ask about practice.

You should have just called.

I know, but--

My wife is going to be home
in like five minutes,

we can't talk now.

It's just, we haven't
talked in a long time

and you don't call me back.

Now listen to me, Nina.

You know I'm married.

That didn't stop you from--

What's done is done.

I need you to be
an adult about this.

But you don't love me?

We'll talk about
this tomorrow, okay?

Like I said, my wife...

Now.

Go home, okay?

Goodnight.

Why are you--

I forgot something.

You said you loved me.

Then I heard from the school

Coach Nina's suspended.

Not fired?

Not yet, at least.

Hey, have you seen Amelie today?

She was still asleep
when I left,

or at least her bedroom door
was locked.

I did, but she's
still not speaking to me.

It's been a week since
we yanked her off the squad,

you'd think she'd be
getting over it by now.

This could take years.

Please tell me you're kidding.

I am, but only a little.

I think we need to schedule
some family counseling

and talk about regaining
each other's trust.

Yeah, that couldn't hurt.

When do you think
you'll be home?

Well it's almost nine,
the freeway's probably clear,

so in about an hour.

That's strange.

What's that?

I got a text from Amelie

asking me to pick
her up at the school.

She's supposed to be grounded,

she should've been home
hours ago.

I checked with her after school,
she said she was home.

Why would she
go back to school?

Do you think this has anything
to do with Coach Nina?

I don't know,
but I better go get her.

Okay, well, let me know
if I can do anything.

Love you.

Scott?

I have a bad feeling about this,
meet me at the school.

Amelie?

Amelie?

Amelie?

Oh my God, Amelie!

Are you okay?

Mom, behind you!

No!

Help!

Amelie!

Where are you?

Where is my daughter?

Amelie!

I said, where is my daughter?

Please, let her go.

I'll give you anything.

It's too late.

Hey, Coach.

Check out my cast.

Sexy, huh?

Very nice, why
aren't you at home?

I want to go to practice.

Nina, you know
you're off the team.

I can't be!

The only reason I fell
and got injured

was because I was pregnant.

- Nina.
- With your baby!

Hold it right there.

How would you like it
if I told the police

about those steroids
I found in your locker?

You're the one who told me
to take them in the first place.

I never made you do anything.

Now, maybe you
should go home.

Now who's off the squad?

You stole my chance
for a championship.

I deserved to win a
national championship,

but everybody steals it from me.

My coach used me and
threw me away like garbage.

I'm so sorry, I can't imagine.

No.

You can't.

What are you doing
with my ring?

This?

This is my
championship ring now.

And I'm taking it.

I brought you here
so you can watch me

take everything
you've ever wanted.

Please just let me help you.

You're the one
who needs help.

What's that?

No!

Oh my God, Mom, she's crazy.

Thank you for coming back.

I'm sorry, honey.

Don't worry, I'm going
to get us out of here.

You can't
get away from me!

- Oh my God.
- Come on, hurry!

You can't
get away from me!

I'm going to eat you alive!

Come on!

This way, this way.

Come on, hurry.

Here, get in!

You can't get away from me!

No!

Die!

You won't get away, die!

Ow!

Mom, are you okay?

Yeah...

This is mine.

No, it's mine!

Come back, the ring is mine!

You can't get away!

Honey?

Dad!

Oh my gosh, are you okay?

What happened?
What's going on?

¶ Down the lonely road I go ¶

¶ To wash away my sins ¶

¶ When you hear
that mournful cry ¶

¶ You'll know
just where I've been ¶

¶ I can see the congregation
gathered at the shore ¶

¶ Whispering in quiet songs
that I'm to be no more ¶

So, did you have to like,

go to Coach Nina's trial
and testify?

She didn't have a trial,
she just plead guilty.

To killing your
mom's friend?

No, they couldn't
prove that.

She just plead guilty to assault
and being nuts in general.

I heard they sent her to jail.

It's just probation still.

And she's seeing a shrink
and has to take medication.

What's your mom doing?

She sold her company
to some big wig

and now she's looking
for a new career.

That's scary.

Why's that scary?

Whenever moms decide
to try something new,

it's always scary.

Ladies, as you know,

I've only been your principal
for a month now.

And my first major
responsibility

has been to hire a
new cheerleading coach.

So it's my pleasure to
introduce your new coach,

a former National Championship
cheerleader.

Miss Kelly Regan.

Thank you so much.

I can't tell you
how thrilled I am.

- Wow.
- My mom's kind of cool.

Think this means I get captain?

Hey, you're still going
to have to earn it.

All right girls,
let's get into formation.

Show me what you've got.

Ready and five,
six, seven, eight!
