A nine-letter word for fabulous that begins and ends with A.

Duh, Anastasia.

Don't you look happy?

I haven't seen a smile around this place that big

since the ones I put on Vincent and Reginald's faces

the day I moved in.

[chuckles] I am happy. I mean, tonight is grad night

and it's gonna be awesome.

Uh, hey, Sandra, can I ask you something?

Yes, Philip, using mouthwash will improve your chances

of getting a girlfriend. You're welcome.

What? No. Can you sit next

to Hank on the bus to grad night?

Hank the shy guy from my homeroom?

Wait, why are you asking me that?

Okay, so he helped me study for my chemistry final

and he has this huge crush on you, so I told him

I'd ask you for him.

Well, I'm sorry but I can't sit next to him.

Is it 'cause of the Boo Crew?

What's the Boo Crew?

It's a group of popular girls that all the guys wanna boo up.

And what's boo up?

It basically means make somebody your girlfriend.

But everybody thinks those girls act like they're

better than everyone. So when they say boo crew,

they mean booooo.

That's just the haters, Ms. Anastasia.

-Haters are... -Oh, I know that one.

I've had haters my whole life.

So, Sandra, are you a part of this popular girls group?

More like I'm Boo Crew adjacent. I mean, I'm pretty popular,

but I'm not really in that crowd.

You know they're gonna make fun of you if you sit

-next to somebody like Hank -That is so not true.

I mean, sure they might say that

but that's not the reason I'm not sitting next to him.

I mean, I already promised my friends that I would

sit next to them for grad night.

All right, yeah, I understand. For real.

[sighs] I'll just tell him the bad news.

Look, be sure to tell him that I think he's a really great guy,

I just already planned to sit next to my friends.

Okay.

So your senior year is winding down.

Have you done your senior prank yet?

The last senior class mowed their class year

into the school's front lawn.

[laughter]

Well, good thing you aren't doing any senior pranks.

-Right, Sandra? -Right, Mom.

You raised me right. Or did you?

[laughter]

It's so good she's enjoying her senior year.

You know, as wonderful as my adult life turned out,

oh, my high school years were just horrible.

Really? Why?

What's wrong, dear?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

Ms. Anastasia's at the front door.

What? Ms. Anastasia is sitting right here.

No, no, she is also at the front door.

Wearing these really boring clothes.

My twin sister is here.

Well, aren't you gonna go answer the door?

Heavens no. Tell my sister I died.

[music]

Died?

[music]

Welcome to Pleasant Days. I'm Leah.

-This is my daughter, Sandra. -The pleasure's mine.

I'm Charlesetta Jackson, Anastasia's sister.

-We see the resemblance. -You look just alike.

Well, I can't say I got no looks

like no Hollywood starlet, but I take the compliment

just the same. Uh, is Anastasia here?

Uh, she, yeah, but, uh...

-But what? -She's not here,

meaning she's not here in the living room here.

Baby girl, can you please go find Ms. Anastasia

and tell her, her sister's here?

And if she could please come down?

Yes, Mom.

-Um, Ms. Charlesetta? -Yes, Charlesetta.

Wow, so you live close by?

Oh, I came all the way from Bugtussle, Georgia.

Uh, it was quite a ride. I left at four this morning.

Wow, that took a long time.

-Um, did you have car trouble? -I did.

The trouble is I ain't got no car.

-I'm sorry, I thought... -It's not your fault.

You know, the bus, it made several stops on the way

and then I actually walked here, you know, from the bus stop.

I wish you would have called. We would have come

-and gotten you. -Oh, no.

I couldn't be no trouble like that.

And I actually, you know, needed that long walk

over there to work out all my thoughts 'cause,

oh boy, it's a heck of a lot of 'em

where my sister and me is concerned.

Well you know what? You must be thirsty and tired.

So, you know what? Come on, have a seat.

Come on. Have a seat.

-You're so kind. -Thank you.

You know what, I'ma get you something cool to drink.

-All right? -Oh, thank you.

-Make yourself comfortable. -Thank you.

I'll be right back.

[chatter] -Hey.

-Hey. -Hey, Cora.

Hey, Mr. Brown.

-You wanna sit down right here? -Uh, Anastasia, girl,

-you look... Ooh. -Mr. Brown,

-what's wrong with you? -You look basic, Anastasia.

What happened to all your fancy makeup and clothes?

-They done went on strike? -Mr. Brown, I think you

look nice, Ms. Anastasia. It's a nice new look you got.

I like that. Nice and comfortable.

Much appreciated, but I'm not Anastasia.

Cora, see this is what... I seen this on my stories.

See, Anastasia done bumped her head

and she don't really know she is she.

She thinks she is somebody else.

I'm actually Charlesetta Jackson.

-I'm Anastasia's twin sister. -Shut up!

-What? -What the what?

Really, hi, how you doing? I'm Cora

- It's nice to meet you. -and this is Mr. Brown.

-Hi, Mr. Brown. -I'm the activities coordinator

around here and Mr. Brown is, well, it's hard

-to explain what his job is. -Y'all twins?

Y'all got the same mama and the same daddy?

Well, I take it you came to see Ms. Anastasia, then.

-I did, but... -So, where is she?

You know, I'm afraid I don't know.

Um, you know what?

She's probably signing autographs.

I'll go and, uh, I think I'ma go back to my hotel.

You know, and then I'm gonna freshen up

-and then I'll come back later. -Wait.

And maybe she'll be available then.

Okay, well wait, don't rush off so fast.

What fancy hotel you staying at?

The Five Seasons, 'cause that's where Anastasia--

she can't stay no where else.

-Oh, Motel 5. -Oh, they got rats. Ooh.

-Mr. Brown, don't do that. -Do you know how far

-a walk it is from here? -Walk? I'll drive you.

Oh, no, no. I don't want you

going out of your way like that.

I'm not gonna be going out of my way.

I have some errands I need to run

and it's in the direction of my errands I need to run.

Cora, you don't have no more errands.

-Yes, I do, Mr. Brown. -No, 'cause you said,

you said you ain't have no more errands to run

after you came and checked the activity sheet

for the week, and you ain't got nothing else to do.

-Remember you said that? -Mr. Brown,

I have several errands I need to run.

-You do? -Yes, and plus

I just thought of another one I need to do.

-What's that? -Get some duct tape

-for your big mouth. -Oh, oh, you lying.

Ms. Charlesetta, let's go right this way.

-My car is right out front. -You so sweet.

-I really appreciate it. -I'ma grab my purse.

-So sweet. -We can be right on our way.

Thank you. Thank you.

Sandra, do you think I can hide out in here?

Hey, Ms. Anastasia, I couldn't find you.

So, why don't you wanna meet your sister?

Oh, oh, you're having a hard time, um,

selecting something to wear to grad night?

You don't wanna talk about your sister, do you?

You are so perceptive. Now I see why

you graduated with honors. Okay.

So you know I've had a lot of stylists over the years,

and so my eye is highly attuned to fashion.

So tell me what your options are.

Okay, so I wanna look snatched, so there are little short shorts

with the long sleeves.

Or the low-cut top with the long pants.

Okay.

Long sleeves, long pants, there you go.

Snatched, whatever that means.

You're really picking the outfit

with the most fabric, Ms. Anastasia?

I know you used to show a lot of skin when you were my age

-and drive all the boys crazy. -To the contrary.

I mean, even though I was as popular as you are,

and of course all the girls were jealous

because all the boys were gaga over me, obvi,

I always made sure no matter what I did,

from how I spoke or how I dressed,

to keep my self respect.

Girl power all the way. I love that.

One other thing I wanted to talk to you about.

I know that I talk about, you know, my old boyfriends,

and yes, I had a lot of them. But it was always on my terms.

I never let a man disrespect me.

Remember that.

My mom and dad taught me that, Ms. Anastasia.

But it's nice to hear it from you, too.

What's on your mind?

It's those girls, the Boo Crew.

They're trying to get me to participate in the senior prank.

And you're having a difficult time telling them no?

No, that part was easy.

I mean, I'm not participating in the senior prank

no matter how many popular kids are down.

So, what's wrong?

Ever since I said no, they started posting pictures

on social media of cats with hashtag Sandra,

calling me scaredy cat and other worse names.

Just like I told you, when it comes

to keeping your self respect, that goes for everyone,

not just boys. And as far as those girls

calling you names, let them. Because in life

it's not what people call you, but what you answer to.

You're right. I like that.

You are a queen who thinks for herself.

And darling, that is going to get you so much further

in life than any old Boo Crew. [laughs]

Thank you, Ms. Anastasia. And since I think for myself,

I think I might wear the short shorts

with the low-cut top after all.

Oh, really now?

Gotcha. [laughter]

Boo!

[music]

-Cora, I can do that. -No chance, Mr. Brown

that you can lead the exercise class for the residents.

Why?

Especially in the Electric Slide.

You always go the wrong way.

No, uh-uh. They always go the wrong way.

-No you go... -I'm a professional dancer.

-No, you're not. -Is she gone?

Oh, oh hey, Ms. Anastasia. I took your sister

to the motel. But she said she was

gonna take a cab back in a little bit.

Ms. Anastasia, you can't hide from her forever.

Why do you keep treating that woman like that?

Don't you know she drove all the way down here from

Roachfight just to see you.

Roachfight? My hometown is named Bugtussle.

And I don't care if she came from planet Mars.

I do not wanna see my sister and my decision is final.

Why? Why? 'Cause you done got all big in Hollywood

and you don't wanna see the people you came up with?

Or you done got too big for your britches?

Mr. Brown.

Anastasia Devereaux does not wear britches.

Okay, first of all, you can't be all up on me like that

'cause Cora's about to punch you in your chest.

And occasionally I will wear trousers.

But more importantly, I am not going

to see my sister because she was horrid to me growing up.

Siblings fight all the time. That's what they do.

That don't mean you gotta kick her to the curb like this.

It was not a normal sibling rivalry.

My mother favored Charlesetta

because she did far better in school.

And Charlesetta took advantage of that preferential treatment

and bullied me and my mother fawned over her.

That's awful. I'm sorry you had

to go through that, Ms. Anastasia.

You know, actually, I'm okay with it, you know?

Because I survived those years and I used those emotions

as fuel to become a successful actress.

And without that troubled first chapter,

I never would have been able to write

my Hollywood success story.

-Oh. -Oh, yeah.

What you think she came here for?

To borrow some money?

'Cause if I had a famous relative, boy,

I'd be asking for money all the time.

I'd be borrowing money.

We know. You try borrowing money from your non-famous relatives.

-Cora? -What?

Can I say something profane to you?

-Profound? -Yeah.

Cora, we make a living by what we get.

Okay.

We make a life by what we give.

Oh, that's good, Mr. Brown. I like that.

Cora, you got to learn to make a life.

Make a life.

Let me hold $20.

Mr. Brown, I'm not giving you no money!

Let me hold $20, Cora.

You got more money than everybody.

You're doing all right.

And to be clear, I sent money home

and I took care of my mother until the day she died.

-Wow. -Whoa.

Well, we ain't getting no younger.

Maybe she came over here to bury the ratchet.

-Hatchet. -Hatchet.

Ratchet, hatchet, I don't know, you know,

and I really don't care.

Ms. Anastasia, please, please. I mean, I don't mean

to get in your family business, but people change.

And even for myself, I'm certainly not

the same person I was when I was in my youth.

I'm pretty much the same person in my youth.

-Mr. Brown, why you... -Except for my beard

used to live up on my head.

But it got evicted and it's down here.

Well look, Ms. Charlesetta is gonna be back

within an hour or two, so how 'bout you just

think about just hearing what she has to say?

Okay, Ms. Cora. I'll think about it.

Cora, they family so full of drama.

I thought it was just her.

Are you happy?

Huh?

Did you think it was funny?

That you started talking to me even though you saw

I had my headphones on? No, not really.

Don't play dumb, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Sandra Washington, I need to talk to you.

About how weird Philip's acting?

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that too.

You know what? I have so many receipts.

I just got a call from your principal.

About grad night? It's still on, right?

Oh, for some students is it. And for some,

they've been banned from attending.

Really? Well, why are you looking at me like that?

No, please tell me I'm not one of those students.

Oh, well please tell me you had nothing to do

with this senior prank.

What senior prank? What did I miss?

The one your little popular friends pulled on Hank.

Oh no.

Yeah, the little Boo Crew jerks, they targeted Hank

and a whole bunch of other unpopular kids,

spray painting nerd and other mean things on their lockers.

Okay, look, I'm confident you didn't have

anything to do with this, it's so out of your character.

But I gotta ask you if you knew anything about this?

Did you participate in this in any way?

No, Mom, I swear. I mean, a couple of the girls

asked me to join in on the senior prank,

but I had no idea what they were planning.

I told them no.

Yeah, they're bullying her on social.

Look.

Just like how they bullied Hank.

Okay, I'm glad my initial thought is confirmed.

Uh, I'll call your principal.

I'll tell him you weren't involved.

Mm, mm, mm.

Look, Sandra, I should have known you had nothing

to do with this. But when I heard

the Boo Crew was involved, I just got mad.

It's okay. I'm mad too.

I just wish there was something we could do about it.

Yeah, me too.

[music]

Cora, I think we should have ice cream

-three days a week. -No, we're not--

-You know what? -I get the residents in shape.

No, Mr. Brown.

They'll all be shaped like circles.

Give me this. I'm the activities coordinator.

[Mr. Brown] Put ice cream--

Hi, Leah. Hi, Mr. Brown, hi, Cora.

Hey, how are you, Ms. Charlesetta?

Is Anastasia available now?

I don't know. Uh, let me go check.

She's gonna go check. Have a seat.

-Have a sit down. -Oh, thank you.

We're just going over the activity chart right now.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't

-wanna talk to me. -Oh, well, why is that?

Well, 'cause you remember Anastasia said she

treated her like a dog. She say she treated her bad.

You was sitting right there.

I'm so sorry for him, Ms. Charlesetta.

No, it's okay. It's okay 'cause he's right

and Anastasia's right.

I was just an awful sibling. Just terrible.

You know, I realized that over time.

It's like your perspective changes.

And that's why I'm here.

I wanna mend fences with my sister.

-Oh. -Well.

You know, there was only one person born perfect.

The good news is that you've changed.

Oh, is Anastasia coming?

No, ma'am. I'm sorry.

[music]

Oh, that's quite all right. I'm just gonna get out

y'all good people hair and thank you so much

for your hospitality.

-Thank you. -Hold on a minute.

Ms. Charlesetta, do you need a ride?

Oh, oh, oh, no. My cab is still here. And um...

just let my sister know whenever she is ready,

if she ever gets ready, that I am here for her,

that she can call me, okay?

Yes, ma'am, I will.

And you let her know that her little sister loves her.

You know, mama said that, um, Willie May,

she beat me by one minute 20 seconds.

Willie May, you know, that was her real name

before she became famous,

beat me by one minute 20 seconds.

Ain't that something?

You've been so kind. Thank you so much.

You hug my sister for me.

You'll tell her I'm so sorry for what I did

and that I love her. Thank you.

-Hopefully I'll see you again. -Yes, ma'am.

[Charlesetta] Thank you.

-Okay, you take care! - I will, thank you.

Ooh.

Give me this, y'all. This take over spirit.

Game night.

I heard her car leaving, Leah.

She told me to tell you that she loves you.

I know.

I mean, deep down I've always known in spite of everything.

So you don't think there's a chance for y'all to reunite?

One should never say never, but I've resolved

my family issues. You know, I'm at peace about it

and I'm happy having limited dealings with the people

from that time in my life.

That don't make you sad?

Sometimes. But then, I think about

my new family, the one that I chose, Pleasant Days.

So you consider me family too?

I do.

So let me hold $20, family.

[laughter]

Not a chance.

[music]

You look nice.

You all set?

I just need one more thing. Philip?

No, I won't take you to the busses.

That's like taking a hungry person to a buffet

and telling them they can't eat.

If I can't have fun, why torture myself?

No, I want you to call Hank.

Hank? For what?

To ask him to sit next to me at grad night.

Wow, Sandra, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, I mean, if he says yes, then his friends

and my friends can all hang out.

I mean, forget the Boo Crew. We'll make our own crew.

Mm, the new crew. Ooh.

The new crew. That's good, Mom.

What about the Brew Crew? Or the Tattoo Crew?

I mean, the night's still young.

YOLO! Just playing. Just playing.

I was just playing.

Come here.

I'm so, so proud of you.

Come on, Philip.

You know you wanna get in on this.

I love you guys. Okay, come on, let's go.

Let's get you out of here.

-All right. -Ooh.

-Hank? -Oh, yeah.
