Hey.

First day, are you excited?

Yeah.

I love showing up in a new town

where I know
exactly zero people.

I know, that is
tough sweetheart.

I'm sorry.

The last thing
I wanted to do

was uproot you
from your friends.

But you did anyway.

One day, when
you are my age

and you get the job offer
of a lifetime,

you'll understand.

Besides, I assume you want
to go to college some day.

Gotta pay for
that somehow.

But I am sorry that
you're upset about it.

It's okay.

I know it's your dream to be
a fancy tech CEO or whatever.

Ugh, I just miss New York.

It's so quiet here and
weirdly dark at night.

Oh, well that's what
night time looks like

without street lights,
sweetheart.

Haha.

See? You're learning
new things already.

Lucky me.

Hey, I know the last couple
of years have been tough.

They've been hard on me too.

Your dad's heart attack...

I would give anything
to have him back.

But we've got to make
the best of things, okay?

Give Plan B our all.

That's what he would've
wanted us to do.

I know.

I just miss him...

I know, sweetheart.

I do too.

You are going to fit right in.

Maybe they will even
have a dance team,

like your old school.

Maybe.

I should get going,

don't want to be late
for my first day.

Love you.

I love you, too.

♪ Upbeat music

Same cliques, different school.

How we doing?

All right, you got this Bailey.

Autumn Bailey,
welcome to Brookview High.

We're happy to have you.

Come on in.

This is Kara,
your campus liaison.

She's going to sort of
buffer for you this week

so that you don't walk
around the campus alone.

Hey, I'm here of my
own volition, I swear.

You sounded cool.

Oh, thanks,
nice to meet you.

I noticed you wrote
for your school newspaper

at your last school.

Kara here, she's in charge
of the school newspaper.

So I figured at the very least,

you got somebody
to talk to, huh?

So you better make
the better of it.

Well, first period's
going to get going here.

Better get to it.

We both have bio,
I'll take you.

- Bye girls.
- Thank you.

Have a good day.

It's a pretty
typical high school.

You got the burn outs,
the freaks, the popular kids.

Oh prepare yourself,

I know those might
come as a shock to you

but the cheerleaders are awful,
avoid them at all costs.

Yeah, cheerleaders were
jerks at my school, too.

Athletes might've
been worse, though.

Oh, our athletes are terrible

and not just their
personalities.

At least the cheerleaders
win their competitions,

which you can see
from all these trophies.

Wow.

Yeah, rah.

All right,
let's go to class.

Who's that?

So look, no pressure,

but we're looking for another
reporter for the newspaper.

So if you want in,
you're in.

Really?

Yeah, thanks,
that'd be awesome.

I miss writing.

He's a reporter, too.

Max, say hi.

Oh, fresh meat.

I'm Autumn.

Domenick.

No, he's not,
he's Max.

Okay.

Hey, does this school
have a dance team?

No dance team, sorry.

You could always
be a cheerleader.

Hey, who's that girl?

I don't know,
must be a transfer.

I'd hit it.

Bode!

I'm just kidding, babe.

Well don't!

She's cute.

Yeah, I guess
if you like boring girls.

It's Autumn, right?

Yeah.

Jenny, this is Bella.

Hey, look.

I don't want to tell
you how to live your life,

but Kara's a loser.

I'm just saying,

hang with whoever you
want to hang out with,

but Kara sucks.

Okay.

I'm just looking out for you
since you're new here.

I don't want you to be
cemented as a loser, too.

Well, I can look out
for myself, thanks.

Hey, you know,
you're a dancer, right?

How did you know that?

You're online.

You should try out
for the cheerleading squad!

The tryouts are tomorrow.

No, I've never cheered.

Well, you seem
like a fast learner.

I mean think about it,
you get to dance,

have a built in friend group,

and be a part of a winning team.

It's a no brainer, really.

I'll think about it,
but I gotta get to class.

See you guys.

Why are you being
so nice to her?

I like my competition
where I can see them.

An invitation from
the queen bitch herself,

lucky you.

Yeah, it was
pretty weird.

Hey, she doesn't seem
to like you that much.

Well, color me shocked.

You're going to do it, right?

Cheerleading?

Why would I do that?

As a reporter.

Come on, you have to.

You can go undercover.

That's insane.

It's perfect.

You can report on the toxic
culture of cheerleading

at Brookview High.

Is there even a story there?

Breaking, cheerleaders
are kind of bitchy.

It goes way beyond
bitchiness, Autumn.

Their coach is actually abusive.

I heard there's a hazing.

Someone needs to expose it.

Or you could just
mess with them.

You know, plant seeds
and pick fights

until they explode in a pile
of pigtails and pom poms.

Very helpful, Max, thank you.

I have a large brain
and many ideas.

Think about it, okay,

no one knows who you are yet.

If you get on the team,

you could assimilate
into their group.

Okay, I'll think about it.

So, the school newspaper, huh?

That sounds interesting.

Oh yeah, it's
not a sure thing.

I'm still thinking about it.

Oh, what's to think about?

You loved writing
for your old paper.

I'm just weighing
out my options,

seeing what else the
school has to offer.

Well, that's a good idea.

Does anything
sound exciting?

Well, I was asked to try out
for the cheerleading squad.

Wait, what?

Cheerleading, you?

Yeah, why not?

It's just very unlike you.

Are you feeling okay?

Mom, I'm fine.

I mean I am a dancer,

it's not that crazy.

Dancing is not the
same as cheerleading.

And you would know?

Your cousin was
a cheerleader

and I remember what
she went through.

It's a lot more intense
than it used to be.

It's dancing around
with pom poms,

looking cute and
chanting cutesy rhymes.

How hard can that be?

♪ Upbeat electronic music

Welcome.

I'm Dot, your coach,
if you make the team.

As a former cheerleading
captain here at Brookview High,

I know how important cheer is
to all of us who participate.

We're family, this is our home.

Now we do work hard,

but we do not sacrifice fun.

I'll be judging
the tryouts today

along with Jenny and Heidi.

I can already tell who sucks.

You can be such a bitch.

Okay, Group A,
I'll start with you.

Wow, nice move.

Thanks.

I've been waiting for this
day since seventh grade.

Cheer is my life.

Wow, how long have
you been cheering?

Since I was five.

This team is legendary.

My parents moved school
districts so I could go here.

Wow, that's intense.

I hear the coach
is pretty hardcore,

but she seems okay so far.

Well I'm sure
you'll make the team,

you're really good.

Thanks.

Good luck.

Actually, could you
teach me that move

that you were just doing?

Yeah, sure.

Arms up like this.

Make sure to keep
them straight.

Down...

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

Got to give Autumn props,

she's willing to go a
long way for a story.

Yeah, if that was you,

you'd absolutely be in
the hospital right now.

If you did a jump like that,

you'd pull a groin
muscle or something.

You know actually,

I think I would have a
better chance than you--

Shut up!

Okay, Group B, let's go.

Show us what you got.

And five, six, seven, eight.

♪ Upbeat music

Great job!

Holy crap, where
did that come from?

I thought she said she'd
never done cheerleading.

Girl's got the moves.

No seriously.

I was kind of worried
this would be a disaster.

A beautiful disaster,
but a disaster, you know?

It'll be entertaining, too.

Okay, Autumn Bailey?

So Autumn, you're new to
cheering, is that correct?

Correct.

You're a good dancer.

Can you do a back spring?

No, I...

Can you fly?

That's like where you
go in the air, right?

No, I never have.

Okay, can you do a herkie?

Yes!
Yes, that I can do!

Let's see it.

Okay, good.

All right athletes,
we will now deliberate.

Thank you.

Step back,

arch your back foot.

Just ask her out, man.

Huh, who?

Give me a break,
the new girl.

This is great,
everyone's so nice.

Is it that obvious?

Just do it.

The list is up.

Congratulations to those
of you who made the team.

And to those of you who didn't,

I encourage you to
try again next year.

Okay?

Let's go.

Oh my God!

Yes, our girl made it.

I knew she had it in her,
never doubted her for a minute.

Shall we go congratulate her?

Perhaps dance and cheer
little circles around her?

No way, she's officially
undercover now.

If she's going to
pull this thing off,

then we can't be seen with her.

I wonder why my
name is in italics.

Maybe it means you're like
head newbie or something?

You think?

Yeah, you're the best
one out of all of us.

Autumn, right?

Yeah...

I'm Jordan.

We have bio together.

Right.

Hey, great job out there.

Oh, I don't know.

No, no, honestly,
you're really good.

Thanks.

All right, first
practice starts now.

Anyone who is not on the team,

please go back to whatever
it is that you were doing.

I hear she's a
real drill sergeant.

I better go.

I'll see you around?

Yeah, I'll see you around.

Welcome to the Brookview
High School Cheerleading Squad.

Now as you may have heard,
we are not an ordinary team.

We are an extraordinary one.

And extraordinary teams
win national championships.

Something we have been
able to do every year

since I first became
captain 20 years ago.

Now you don't get to be
extraordinary without hard work

and that is exactly what
this team is all about:

hard work.

So, if you're looking
for your mommy,

I'm not her.

If you're looking
for a therapist,

you can look elsewhere.

I'll tell you what
I'm looking for.

I'm looking for perfection,

I'm looking for invincibility,

and if you can't give me that,

then you need to leave.

Right now.

You're not just
representing yourselves,

you're representing the team.

And we don't tolerate duds.

On this list,

acceptable hair, length,
color, texture, makeup rules

and of course,
weight requirements.

There is a dress code
for non-cheer uniform days

and needless to say, combat
boots, they're not on the list.

Yes, Megan?

Will we be cheering
at all sporting events

or just Friday football nights?

We don't cheer for boys,
we compete.

And Megan, you
may be wondering

why your name was highlighted.

Your position on this
team is conditional

based on you losing
five pounds by next Friday.

In fact, all of you
could use some toning up.

On the back of the list,
there's a recommended team diet.

Bone broth?

Five grapes?

Isn't that a laxative?

So memorize it,
get to know it.

You will not be taking that
list home for obvious reasons.

Okay let's go, five miles.

Now! Let's go, move it!

Laxatives? Savage!

No way Principal Janus
would allow that.

Yeah, it's the 21st century

and aren't big butts in?

I can't believe
this is going on

right under the
administration's noses.

I think you have
your first article.

I don't know.

What if people
figure out it's me?

Okay, we should take
extra precautions.

From now on,

we meet after hours
only at night.

We can't be seen together.

Genius.

And you have to
fully immerse yourself

with the cheerleaders, okay?

Okay.

Yes, okay, now go
write that article.

I want 500 words by Monday.

See you guys.

Bye.

I cannot wait to see
how this goes down.

Laxatives, it's so gnarly.

Come in!

How's my little cheerleader?

Stop it, mom.

What?

I'm proud of you.

You're trying new things.

Thanks.

I've been meaning to ask,

whatever happened with
the school newspaper?

Oh, I think cheerleading is
going to take up all my time.

Oh, well that's too bad,

you're such a good writer.

There's always
next year.

What are you working on?

Oh, just homework.

I'm all done.

I am exhausted,

it has been a long first week.

I'm going to bed,
good night.

Good night!

And... send!

Hello?

This is genius,
you're genius.

What are you talking about?

Your article, it goes
up first thing today.

Get ready for the performance
of your lifetime, Bailey.

What do you mean?

No one can know
you wrote this.

You need to pretend
that cheerleading

is your heart and soul.

Yeah, okay.

♪ Sultry music

Oops.

Bone broth?
I'd kill myself.

Wait, are you guys
chomping laxatives?

I guess now we know

who's been stinking up
the bathrooms.

What's going on?

The school paper
just came out.

You guys might want
to check it out.

Oh my God.

You said you were a celiac!

I am!

Is this stuff true?

Why do you guys
put up with this?

It's fake news, jackass.

Coach Dot,

please come to my office
as soon as possible.

This is bad.

Hey Jenny!

This is incredible.

Do you think Dot will get fired?

I hope so,
she's horrible.

If she got fired,
would you stay on the team?

I guess I'd stay if
there was still a story.

What if there
wasn't still a story?

Oh my God, you would
anyways, wouldn't you?

You love cheerleading.

No I don't, stop.

Hey, where's Max,
by the way?

Oh I don't know,

that guy's always up
to something weird.

What's going on
with you guys?

What are you talking about?

Oh come on, the
constant flirting.

Yeah right, he
is so not my type.

Well he's into you.

Well I'm not into him.

He's too strange,
even for me.

Jordan Dunn
just DM'ed me.

Seriously?

He wants me to meet him and
his friends at the drive-in.

Oh my God,
what do I say?

Are you kidding me?
Say yes!

This is perfect,
you're in.

In to what?

The in crowd.

I don't know,

I was up late
and I can't go in this.

Oh my God, you like him.

No, I don't.

Okay, you're
definitely going.

Tell him you'll meet
him there.

Never mind, I'll do it.

Kara!

Ugh!

Yeah, there we go.

- Kara!
- Boom.

Okay, I guess I'm going.

Yeah, you're going.

What am I doing?

Hey guys.

Autumn, you made it.

Here, let me help you up.

Thanks.

Hey Autumn.

Hey.

So...

So...

- I'm glad you came.
- Thanks for inviting me.

Quiet in back.

So how are you liking school?

Oh, it's okay.

It's only been a few days so
it's hard to tell, you know?

I get it.

I actually transferred
here too, last year.

Really?

From Connecticut.

Oh.

I'm New York.

Kind of miss the snow, right?

Honestly, not really.

God, you guys are so loud.

Get a room.

Oh, by the way,

you made the right choice
by ditching Kara, Autumn.

Well done!

And congrats on making the team.

I convinced Dot to
let you on, you know?

Sure you did, Jenny.

Kara, that fat chick
you're friends with?

We're not friends.

Kara's not fat.

The newspaper chick, right?

She used to be fat.

Yeah, I swear you guys
were like best friends.

You posted that photo
of her freshman year

trying on that swimsuit.

That sure made her
lose weight in a hurry.

Okay, we hung out
for like two seconds

before she got lame.

Hey Jenny, try harder
to be a Disney villain.

You're not being quite
cartoonish enough.

Oh good one, Jordan.

You are kind of
rude sometimes, babe.

You're rude, babe.

Oh, let's all take a picture.

Oh, so cute!

Shut up!

Bite me!

That was insane.

First time's always the best.

Well, thanks again
for inviting me.

I had a lot of fun.

I did too.

I'm really glad you came.

Hey, sorry about
Jenny and Bode.

I know they're
a little cliche.

Why do you hang out
with them?

When I first joined
the football team,

I got hazed pretty bad.

Bode stood up for me,

he's a good guy.

Jenny...

She's not my favorite,

but Bode seems to like her,
so who am I to mess that up?

Well, I guess I should be
giving this back to you.

Why don't you hold onto it?

Gives me an excuse
to see you again.

Well played.

I'll see you tomorrow

and hopefully the day
after that,

and the day after that,
and the day after that.

I'll see you then.

Hey, it's just me.

Oh my God, I saw
that Insta photo,

nice blending in dude.

Jenny's hair really
makes your spray tan pop.

Oh, stop.

How was it?

It was good!

I think Jordan likes me.

You sly dog,
you like him too.

Is that bad?

Please don't tell me he's awful.

Oh my God, you're
actually going to become

an honest-to-God cheerleader
and date an athlete, aren't you?

I've created a monster.

Nothing even happened,

we didn't even kiss.

I'm just giving
you a hard time.

Honestly, Jordan's cool.

Really?

Yeah, he's one
of the good ones.

And he puts Jenny in
her place, which I like.

Hey, Jenny said you guys
used to be friends.

Like, a million years ago.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

Have you met us?

We're pretty different.

Anyway, long story short,
Jordan's cool,

you have my blessing.

Okay, good.

Because you know
that's important to me.

I know.

Hey besides, if you
date an athlete,

you blend in more.

Works out for me
as your editor, too.

Hmm.

I better get going,

they're holding an emergency
cheerleading practice.

Hopefully it's Janus
telling us Dot's been fired.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Apparently, we have a leak.

Someone on this team
is a little confused

about where their loyalties lie.

I would think it was you,

if I didn't know you were
a pathetic little sycophant.

Or maybe it's
little combat boots.

Or maybe it's our own Lois Lane,

with her fancy
Chronicle internship.

Well, someone on this team

seems to think that
Megan's weight is appropriate.

So Megan, let's see you flip.

I'm not a gymnast.

I do stunts, not tumbling.

Her weight's fine.

Besides, weight has nothing
to do with tumbling.

Cartwheel into a roundoff
with a double back handspring.

Are you serious?

She's never done it,

she could get hurt.

Oh, so why don't you spot her?

Honestly, I don't even know
what the combo looks like.

You, show her.

Okay, great, we
don't have all day.

This is messed up.

It's okay.

I'll do it.

You've got this Megan.

You've seen it go
down a million times.

Okay, ready?

Five, six, seven, eight.

Megan, I'm so sorry,

I can't believe
that just happened.

I should've stopped it.

I knew it was a terrible idea.

How's the pain?

Button helps.

Dot should've never
made her do that.

It's abuse.

Maybe the administration
will finally listen

to what we've been saying
and fire her ass.

Wait, you guys have been
trying to get Dot fired?

We despise her.

She's evil, as
you've now seen.

I don't know what that
woman has on Janus

but he refuses
to get rid of her.

It's probably because
she's effective.

We're the only team at school

that's actually
winning anything.

Bella and Jenny are the
only ones who support Dot.

If Heidi can beat Jenny
at team captain,

at least we can try
to keep her in check.

I hate to think how
much worse it could get

if Jenny gets captain.

She's not even a senior.

It's ridiculous she
even thinks she could win.

I thought Jenny
was your friend.

We used to be best friends,

but then she did
something horrible

and I can't be friends
with someone like that.

What did she do?

Let's just say she
can be really cruel

and I'm not down
with body shaming.

But enough about Jenny,

today's about you Megan.

I just got an idea.

We'll throw a party for you,

a fundraiser to help
with her medical costs.

You don't have to do that.

Are you kidding?

Do you know how much
physical therapy

you're going to have
to do after this?

Oh God, sorry here,
press your button.

We'll need a theme.

Oh, what about a rave?

Samantha, I didn't know you
had that kind of edge in you.

I love it, we need a venue.

Maybe the school would
let us use the gym?

It's not going to
be that kind of party.

I feel awful.

If I hadn't written
the article,

then Dot wouldn't
have been so furious

and Megan wouldn't
be in the hospital.

Hey, hey, it's not
your fault, okay?

You're doing the right thing.

Am I?

I don't even know anymore.

I know this is hard.

And if I could,
I would switch places with you.

But you have to write
another article, okay?

Dot needs to be exposed
for what she did.

You're right.

When she's fired,
this will all be over.

Exactly.

Okay, now I got to go.
Are you leaving?

No, I think I'm
going to stay here

and work on my
article for a bit.

Okay, cool,
see you tomorrow?

Yeah, sounds good.

Cool.

She put a girl
in the hospital?

The coach is a psychopath.

No wonder the
team's so good.

The undercover
cheerleader strikes again.

Hey.

Hey.

I don't like rats.

Sounds like someone's
doing you guys a favor,

that lady's crazy.

That lady is doing her job

and winning us championships,

which is more than I can
say for the football team.

Touche.

Babe, ease up.

I bet it's Samantha.

She's been so extra

ever since her Chronicle
internship last summer.

Samantha? Someone needs
to shut that girl up.

Thank you so much Autumn,

for letting us use
your house for the party.

Ooh, nice.

You're a lifesaver
and you have no neighbors.

You guys, my mom's going
to kill me if she finds out.

She cannot find this stuff.

We had no other options.

It's for Megan, remember?

And she's not
going to find out.

And what she doesn't know
won't kill her, right?

I so hope you're right.

Okay, so we're going
to charge 20 bucks a head

and everyone's going
to get a glow necklace

and a Solo cup for the keg.

Oh my God, this party's
going to be insane.

So how are you
liking school so far?

Oh, it's okay.

AP Physics is
killing me though.

Oh my God, why would
you take AP Physics?

God, that class
kicked my butt.

You took AP Physics?

Hated every minute of it.

I did get a five on
the AP test though.

I could tutor you if you want.

Because I'm not going to.

Yeah, that'd be
awesome, thanks.

A rave?

How EDC of you.

Yeah, you know Autumn,

if you want to do drugs with us,
you can just ask.

We're not doing drugs, guys,

we're raising money
for Megan's medical costs.

How is she?

Okay, considering.

Poor girl.

It's going to feel so good

to see these disgusting
cheerleaders cry

once their team gets shut down.

Jesus, Max.

They're not disgusting.

They're actually pretty sweet.

Jenny's the only one who
buys into Dot's culture.

The other girls want to
change things on the squad.

The squad?

You sound like a
real cheerleader.

I'm just saying,

they're actually
really nice and smart.

Samantha's going to
tutor me in physics.

They sound like
your new best friends.

Sounds like someone's jealous!

Oh Kara, are you jealous?

Don't be, you know
you're my OG friend.

Yeah, well don't you forget it.

So you guys are coming
to the party, right?

Will there be booze?

Will there be chicks?

Yes, and don't be creepy, Max.

That's who I am, sorry.

Just don't tell anyone
I invited you guys.

We're not friends, right?

Yeah, exactly.

I'm not jealous.

- Are you sure?
- Shut up.

What'd you get?

Disgusting, you're so weird,
why'd you get that?

I don't know about you,

but I've had just about
enough of the circular orbits

of fictional spacecrafts.

Yes, please make the
centripetal force equations

go away now.

I only took the class

so it would look good
on my transcript.

I applied early
admission to Stanford.

They have an awesome
journalism school.

Oh nice, when do you hear?

I already did,
I'm in.

Yes, congrats.

Oh my God, Stanford's
really hard to get into.

I worked really hard
for it.

I'm so excited.

Yeah, you should be.

People think cheerleaders
are only good

for shaking their pom poms.

By the way, I forgot
to tell you,

Jenny thinks
you're the leak.

I wish I was the leak.

I like winning championships,
but not like this.

Yeah.

I've got pizza.

Hi.

You must be Samantha?

I'm Cynthia.

It's so nice to finally meet
one of Autumn's new friends.

Great to meet you.

Shall we dig in
while it's hot?

Thanks, but I already ate.

Actually, it's
getting kind of late,

I better go.

Oh okay.

Well, it was nice to meet you.

Drive safe.

I will, thanks.

Bye Autumn.

Bye, thanks again.

I actually already ate too, mom.

I'm going to go
get ready for bed.

And she dines alone.

Okay.

Do you want to live?

Stop writing the article!

Samantha, we came
as soon as we heard.

He thought it was me.

He thought I wrote the articles.

Who?

What articles?

The undercover cheerleader.

I didn't see his face.

But she did beat
the crap out of him.

I got away and
came straight here.

I'm so sorry, Sam.

We're going to stay with you
until your parents get here.

What is this about
an undercover cheerleader?

I had no idea this was going on.

It's not you, is it?

What?

No!

It would make sense.

The sudden interest
in cheerleading,

dropping the school newspaper--

It's not me.

You know how I feel
about lying, Autumn.

We have no secrets, remember?

It's just you and me.

We've got to be honest
with each other.

It's not me,
mom, I swear.

Okay.

If you say it's not you,
I believe you.

Hey, with everything
that's going on,

this just doesn't feel right.

Maybe I should cancel my trip.

No, don't.

I mean haven't you been working
on this pitch for months?

Isn't the board flying in?

I know, but I'm just
worried about you.

Mom, you can't cancel it.

Heidi offered to stay with me.

She's a senior,

you met her last night
at the police station.

We'll be fine, I swear.

Just promise me
that every minute

you're not at school or practice

you're home,
okay, promise?

I can definitely promise that.

Okay.

Be safe.

I will.

Love you.

I love you, too.

The narc sings again.

Looks like someone's
trying to stop the leaks.

I'm glad is not working.

Hey, what happened
to your neck?

Huh?

Oh, my cat.

I didn't know you had a cat.

It's my cat.

It's so weird.

Jenny, weren't you just saying

that someone should
shut up Samantha?

Looks like you got your wish.

Shut up, Bella.

Hey, so I was thinking

maybe I could come
over a little early

before the party tonight,
help set up.

I mean normally I would
offer to pick you up,

but the party's at
your house, so...

Yeah, I'd like that.

Holy crap.

He almost Sweeney Todd'd her.

I'm shutting down the expose.

It's officially
way too dangerous.

What?

No.

It's an even
bigger story now.

We have to find out
who attacked Samantha.

Autumn, what if you get hurt?

What if someone comes after you?

No one knows it's me.

Besides, it's personal now.

Megan, Samantha,
these girls are my friends.

Okay well, just be careful,
all right?

No story is worth
getting hurt over.

And I know I'm not a
cheerleader or anything,

but you're my friend too.

Kara, you're my best friend.

I'll be careful, I swear.

So is the party still
going on tomorrow, or?

Yeah, but I don't
think Samantha

will want to come anymore.

Yeah, I guess getting
a knife to the throat

is a real buzzkill.

Max, seriously.

Too soon?

Too soon.

Let's get to work.

Okay.

I will still be
supervising practice

but we have decided to
let your old coach attend,

on a conditional basis,

so that she can see the
new way of doing things.

Coach Dot, you want
to say anything?

I am honored to simply
observe today, athletes.

And I regret my
poor choice of words

that I may have
used in the past.

And I apologize
if I upset anyone.

I look forward to moving forward
in a mutually respectful way.

Thank you, Coach Dot.

And now you may proceed
with practice.

Okay, let's start
with the Drake routine.

Actually, I think we
should do Katy Perry today.

Well, you're not in charge,
Heidi.

Neither are you, Jenny.

You're not even a senior,
you just act like you're one.

You're acting childish.

Maybe you should have Bode
hold a knife to my throat!

Or I got an A in writing
last year,

maybe I'm the leak--

How dare you!

Okay, break it up.

Perhaps we should take
a vote on team captain

to make the team leadership
a little more clear.

Everyone for Heidi.

Everyone for Jenny.

Heidi it is.

Wow, you look incredible.

Thanks.

Come in!

And you need one of these.

- Thank you.
- Oh yeah, that looks good.

Okay, come downstairs.

I thought I was helping set up.

You already did everything.

I had some time on my hands
and I told my mom

I wouldn't leave the house
while she's gone, so...

How can I help?

Why don't you just
grab yourself a drink?

I'll just be a sec.

I don't drink.

Oh, well then go relax
and I'll join you in a minute.

I can't believe we're going

to a cheerleader
party right now.

This might be the
best night of my life.

You look awesome, by the way.

Thanks.

You look good too, Max.

Oh right yeah, you
look cool, nice job.

Thanks.

Are we the only ones here?

Oh my God, that's so lame.

Who cares? We know her.

Let's just hang back until
the others get here, okay?

Okay.

Let's show 'em that
creepy barn we passed.

Shut up, Max.

What are you sketching?

It's yours.

It's beautiful.

Hey lovers!

Samantha, I'm so glad you came.

So am I.

Hey Sam.

Hey.

Let's get this party started.

This is so weird.

She's my best friend,

but this is the first time
I've actually been to her house.

Are you best friends though?

I mean, it kind of seems
like you're just,

"Weird secret newspaper friend."

What? No!

You're... that's stupid!

I mean like--

She's blending in!

I'm just saying,

if you want to take out
a couple cheerleaders,

Max, don't even joke about that!

These are not
joking times, okay?

♪ I can feel your touch

♪ I can feel your touch

Hey, can I tell you something?

What's that?

I really like you.

I really like you, too.

You guys, oh my God.

I guess Jenny and Bode
aren't showing up.

Darn.

Want to dance?

Not really.

This sucks.

If I can't be with my friend,
then why am I even here?

Really?

I'm not feeling great.

Beer doesn't really
agree with me.

I think I'm going to bounce.

Do you want me to
come with you, or...?

No it's okay,
I'll get a Lyft.

Hot tamale!

Hey, you don't have to go home,
but you can't stay here.

Good night.

I think that's everyone.

You threw one hell
of a party, Bailey.

I aim to please.

I'm taking off.

Me too.

You want a ride?

I don't do bikes.

I thought you were
spending the night.

I need to sleep in my own bed,
that okay?

I'll come help you
clean up in the morning.

That's fine by me.

Did you know
that motorcycles

are 35 times more deadly
than being in a car?

Well, I'm pretty
sure driving drunk

is 100 % more fatal than
riding motorcycles, so...

I walked, because I live two
minutes from here, remember?

Sure you don't want an escort?

I hear someone's
hunting cheerleaders.

Ha, I'll take my chances.

Suit yourself.

And that's my cue.

Night, losers!

Goodnight.

Sleep well.

And ride safe.

Oy, not tonight.

Bode, is that you?

Jordan, I told you
I don't want a ride!

I can't believe she's gone.

She was my best friend.

Hey, we're going to find
out who did this, okay?

We just want to ask you guys
a few questions.

You guys don't really
think it was Bode, do you?

Damn right I do.

He's the one who
attacked me, I know it.

I heard they found
motorcycle tracks at the scene

someone tried to wipe.

If the glove fits...

Jordan rides a motorcycle.

No one's accusing him
of being the killer.

Where'd you go after
the party, Jordan?

Home.

Can anyone vouch for that?

Yes.

I was annoyed she got captain,
but I would never kill anyone.

I can't believe it.

I just can't believe she's dead.

It's tragic.

Just like that.

You get Autumn
back now I guess.

What is wrong with you?

I'm sorry, I know
she was your friend.

Thanks.

It's awful.

This whole thing is my fault.

This has gone on way too far.

We have to shut
down the article.

What?

No way, we have
to find the killer.

It's not worth
your life, Autumn.

Whoever's doing
this is obsessed.

It's only a matter of time
until they figure out it's you.

And frankly, I'm worried
about me and Max, too.

You're right, it is dangerous

and I'm pretty sure
someone's been following me.

What?

You should've said something.

Hey look, I won't
write any more articles,

but I can't drop this.

Heidi was my friend.

I'm going to find out
who killed her.

Autumn, let the police
do their job, okay?

This is above our pay grade.

We're just high schoolers.

You're right.

I'm sorry, I'm just upset.

Promise me you'll stay away.

I promise, cross my heart.

How's Max holding up?

He's fine, I think,

making inappropriate
jokes as usual.

Yeah, okay I should go.

I got to go, too.

Hi mom.

You had a party?

I trusted you, Autumn.

I just got a call
from the school

about an accident that
happened to a girl

after she left our house.

I'm sorry, mom.

No, you don't get
to talk right now.

A girl is dead, Autumn.

The same girl that was going
to stay with you this weekend.

Or was that a lie, too?

I am getting on the
first flight home I can.

I've had to reschedule my pitch,
likely I'm getting fired.

You can add that to your
list of accomplishments.

I'm sorry.

Mom, I really messed up, I--

What happened to us, Autumn?

Your father would be
so disappointed in you.

Heidi was my best friend.

And I know she was a
friend to all of us.

She loved cheerleading
with all her heart.

And she was a fierce competitor.

She could be a
little rebellious,

a little rough around the edges,
but that's why we loved her.

Everyone around her could see
through her tough girl act

to her heart of gold inside.

I'm really going to miss her.

I need to talk to you.

Can we go back to your place?

Yeah, of course.

Okay, come on...

Please don't tell
me you're the killer.

I'm not sure I have
the energy right now.

No, of course not.

I'm the one who's been
writing all the articles.

Oh, wait, wait...

You're the undercover
cheerleader?

Yes, I hate that moniker.

That's amazing and kind
of a turn on, actually.

Okay look, I need your help.

Of course, anything.

We have to find out
who the killer is

before they get me,
or someone else.

And what do you need?

Well, I have three top suspects:

Bode, Max, and Coach Dot.

Honestly...

What?

I hate to say it.

He's my best friend,
but I think it might be Bode.

I mean, after the
attack on Samantha,

he was all scratched up,
remember?

And then he lied
about it to me.

It doesn't make any sense.

Do you think you could
force a confession?

Maybe, why?

Okay, go do that.

I'm going to go back to
the scene of Heidi's death,

see if the police
missed anything.

No, I don't like the idea
of you going there alone.

Let's do both together.

No, there's no time.

It's right by my house.
I'll be fine, I swear.

Fine, but I don't like it.

Text me, let me
know how it's going.

Autumn...

Be careful.

I will.

I have been trying to get
on a flight all afternoon.

I need to get home.

I don't care about
your inclement weather,

just get me on the next
flight to San Francisco.

Yes, I'll hold.

[DrOh my God.

Hey Bode?

What's going on?

Everything okay?

I would've never have
actually hurt Samantha.

Look, I was just
trying to scare her.

What?

Why would you do
something like that?

I didn't want to do it,
I mean she made me.

Who did?

Coach Dot.

How?

Look, she said she'd get me
kicked off the football team

if I didn't do it.

Without football,
I'll lose my scholarship.

I can't afford
college without it.

How do I know
you're not lying?

Look, it's one thing to admit
to threatening Samantha,

it's another to admit
to murdering someone.

I'm not lying man, I swear.

You have to believe me,
I wasn't there.

Did Jenny know about Samantha?

She figured it out
after she saw the scratches.

She was so mad,
she almost broke up with me.

Man.

You know I got to turn
you in now, right?

Jordan!

Oh my God, I found
something huge.

It could crack this
whole thing wide open.

This was at the crime scene.

It has to be from the
killer's bike, right?

You have to take
that to the police.

Wait, shouldn't you be
wearing gloves or something?

Fingerprints?

Crap, do you have any?

Hey, what is this?

You and Heidi were together?

I was going to tell you.

I was just waiting
for the right time.

Wait, wait, wait,

just listen to me
for one minute, okay?

I'm sorry, I should've told you.

Look, I really care
about you, okay?

Listen...

Oh my God.

It's you.

What?

What are you talking about?

- You killed Heidi!
- Autumn, wait.

He used to date Heidi,

and I found this
at the crime scene.

The rest of it's in
his garage, I saw it.

Okay, okay, calm down.

Look, I assure you
we will talk to Jordan

and figure out what's going on.

Now, I appreciate
your help, Autumn,

but I wish you would
let us do our job.

Maybe if you were
better at your jobs,

I wouldn't have to.

It's late.

You had a rough night.

I'll have an officer
drive you home.

You can leave your car
in the lot.

Is there anyone you
can call to stay with you?

My mom's out of town.

Well, you probably
shouldn't be alone tonight.

I'll call a friend.

Good.

Get some sleep.

I will call you as soon
as we know anything.

Autumn, it wasn't me, I swear.

I don't know what happened,

but you have to
believe it wasn't me--

Officer, can you take
Miss Bailey home please?

Thanks for coming.

Holy crap.

I can't believe it was Jordan,
he seems so nice.

I just can't believe
I fell for him.

I feel so sick.

You're shaking,
drink your tea.

I was so stupid.

I do remember telling
you not to meddle.

In fact, I distinctly remember
a promise being made about it.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's okay, I forgive you.

Besides, a broken
promise is worth it

if that jerk goes to jail.

Agreed.

It's the police.

Answer it.

Hello?

Autumn, it's Detective Grady.

I thought you should know
your boyfriend's innocent.

What?

Jordan's dad reported
the bike stolen

the day before the murder.

When it showed back up,

he just assumed it was
neighborhood kids having fun.

Oh my God, thank you.

Okay, just sit tight.

We'll be back in touch
as soon as we know anything.

Okay, thank you,
Detective Grady.

It wasn't him.

It wasn't Jordan.

Well, if it wasn't Jordan,
then who is it?

Okay, promise you won't get mad?

Okay.

I think it might be Max.

What?

Think about it!

He's always making fun
of those girls,

he's been acting weirdly
unemotional about Heidi

and let's face it,
he'd do anything for you

and you haven't
exactly been thrilled

about my friendship
with them.

It's Max, he's not capable
of something like that.

And he left the party early.

It all adds up.

Just because he's weird,
doesn't mean he's a killer.

That's Jordan.

Hi, Jordan.

I'm so sorry,
I jumped to conclusions and--

Autumn, we have
the security footage.

Um...

Autumn, can you hear me?

It's Kara.
Kara stole the bike.

It's Kara, Kara's the killer.

Could you please just send
someone back to Autumn's house?

Kara could be with her.

A car just dropped
her off, Jordan.

She could be in trouble.

I've got two officers

on the way to Kara's place
right now to question her.

If she's not there,
we will revisit Autumn.

Forget it, I'll go myself.

Jordan!

You couldn't just leave
it alone, could you?

You promised me
you'd stop digging around.

You killed Heidi!

I wasn't trying to kill her,
I was just trying to scare her.

She fell over
like a drunken idiot.

I'm not enjoying this, you know?

The ironic thing is that
I've been trying

to protect you this whole time.

What are you talking about?

I was so scared
after Megan's accident

and Samantha's attack.

I thought something was
going to happen to you.

You're the one that
was following me.

I don't have that
many girlfriends, okay?

And then you came along, and...

I didn't want
anyone to hurt you.

But then you had to go
and get a new best friend.

How could you do that to me?

I'd already lost one
best friend to Heidi.

Jenny?

I know Jenny only took
that stupid photo of me

because she thought Heidi
would think it was funny.

Heidi dropped Jenny
after that happened.

What do you know?

That's why you wanted
me to write the articles

in the first place, wasn't it?

Revenge against Jenny and Heidi.

If you scream, you'll regret it.

Autumn!

Sam?

Sam, where does
that girl Kara live?

Okay.

You could just
let me go, you know?

I'm not going to jail, Autumn.

It's over.

They already know you
took the motorcycle.

It's not over.

I can say you made me take it.

So what, you're
going to kill me?

How are you going
to explain that?

Self defense.

You knew you were
about to be found out,

so you tried to kill me first.

You're not a killer, Kara.

You don't know what I am!

Max?

You're going to be all
right, okay?

Hang in there...

Yes, I need an
ambulance right now,

my friend's hurt.

Max, you're going to
be okay, all right?

It doesn't have
to be like this.

Yeah right!

How am I going to
get out of this, eh?

How am I going
to get out of this?

Well, it's about to be over.

I told you to leave it alone.

I told you!

Are you okay?

Mom!

Ugh, my God.

Come on, let's get you inside.

I'll never keep anything
from you again, I swear.

Undercover cheerleader.

I knew that cheerleading thing
seemed weird.

I thought it was a
good idea at the time.

Oh, and in the spirit
of full transparency...

I have a boyfriend, too.

Ugh, you are going to
be the death of me, kid.

All right, so what's his name?

His name's Jordan.

Oh, Jordan.

Mom.

When do I get to meet Jordan?

Mmmm...

Very soon.

- Soon?
- Uh-huh.

Oh, okay, soon.

Hey hon, you got cheer
tryouts today, right?

Yep, just for the newbies.

Must be nice to be
on the other side.

Have fun!

Thanks, love you.

Love you, too.

Hello athletes,

and welcome to the Brookview
High cheerleading tryouts.

I'm happy to introduce myself
as your coach, Coach Sam.

An unexpected benefit of
going to college nearby.

It's no secret we had
a rough year last year.

But we're back
and this year we're ready

to take back our national
championship title.

But things are going to
be different this year.

Instead of a culture
of cruelty and insults,

we're going to be
supportive and inclusive.

So if anyone has a
problem with that,

you should leave now.

We're going to do all that

and we're going to
be number one again!

With Autumn as our captain.

Thanks.

Hey captain, my captain.

How'd tryouts go?

Pretty good.

I really like this one girl.

She's a good dancer,
but she can't cheer for jack.

Oh, sounds like just my type.

So, you going to keep writing
for the school paper this year?

Now Jordan,
if I told you that,

I wouldn't have any
more secrets left.

You ready to get out of here?

I just have to
do one more thing.
