00:00:04To all my friends, peers, and fellow students, I'm so honored to accept this crown as your
00:00:18Palm Queen. And I wish you all the greatest success, because if you really want it, you
00:00:29can have it.
00:01:24Hi, you've reached Joanne Harvey. Please leave me a message.
00:01:29Joanne, I just got your card, and you are a star for remembering. Thank you so much.
00:01:34Call me. Let's have dinner.
00:02:00What do you think? Very scholarly.
00:02:04Really? I look good. I mean, everybody already knows each other, and I'm gonna walk in at the end of
00:02:10the school here. It's gonna be really weird.
00:02:12It's gonna be great. Plus everyone's wearing the same thing, so there's no judgment there. How about this? For your
00:02:19birthday, we'll go for a little shopping spree. We'll get our hair done, our nails done. Sound good?
00:02:24Sounds great. Okay. Uh, strawberries, blueberries, both? Actually, Dad's taking me to breakfast before class.
00:02:32Okay, you better get going then. Yeah. One more thing. Could you maybe not make a big deal about, you
00:02:39know, that I'm your daughter?
00:02:42Of course. You're the best. Julie, hi. Come on in. Thanks. Have you settled into your classroom? Ah, that's my
00:03:00next stop. Well, I know I've said it before, but thank you for coming in on such short notice.
00:03:06I'm happy to help. I just, I wish it were under different circumstances.
00:03:12I understand you knew Joanne? I do. We're good friends.
00:03:16Well, I hope it won't be too uncomfortable taking over her classroom. It's a little strange, but I'm sure everyone's
00:03:23feeling the same way.
00:03:25You know, I worked with Joanne for six years, and I never saw any sign she would have done this.
00:03:30Who's handling things? There's been the usual disruptions. Questions.
00:03:34Well, I'd love to help in any way I can. In fact, I have this idea for a mindful box
00:03:39where students can express what they're feeling anonymously.
00:03:42Anything that might help is welcome. Great. I'm sure I don't need to tell you you have big shoes to
00:03:48fill.
00:03:49Joanne was strict, but teachers like her help make Avondale one of the best. I hope you'll help us maintain
00:03:56that reputation.
00:03:58I will do my best.
00:04:19Morning. Morning. I heard they found a bottle of Novahoe in Harvey's desk. I'm not surprised. That one had issues.
00:04:27Yeah, it's like being an A1 bitch.
00:04:31If everyone could please take a seat.
00:04:33We can get started.
00:04:46Hi, everyone.
00:04:47I am Miss Taylor.
00:04:49I'll be your math teacher for the remainder of the school year.
00:04:52I apologize if I don't get your name.
00:04:55Can I have your attention, please?
00:04:58The student prom committee is happy to announce this year's nominees for prom king and queen.
00:05:04They are Tracy Pitch and Brent Walker, Amy Turner and Dylan Wade, Heather Watts and Jack Lawson,
00:05:15and lastly, Sophie Harris and Dave Emery.
00:05:19Oh, my God.
00:05:22Well, I hope she does something to her hair before prom.
00:05:28Amy?
00:05:29Uh, based on your reaction to the nominees, I'm assuming I got your name right.
00:05:33You got me.
00:05:34Well, congratulations to you and your daughter.
00:05:36Mia, is it?
00:05:41Let's get to work, shall we?
00:05:43I want you to turn to page seven.
00:05:55So, how was your first morning at Avondale?
00:05:58Fairly smooth.
00:05:59Oh, good.
00:06:00I'm Aaron Peters, 12th grade science.
00:06:02I'm Julie Taylor.
00:06:03Nice to meet you.
00:06:04How'd you get so lucky to substitute for this gig?
00:06:07Oh, I'm not a substitute, actually.
00:06:08I was on the tail end of the leave when I got the call.
00:06:11Oh, well, then welcome.
00:06:12Thanks.
00:06:13Maybe she's on my way to the staff room for lunch, if you want to meet everybody.
00:06:16I'd love to.
00:06:18That's my favorite.
00:06:19Oh, my God.
00:06:21Sophie kind of looks like a dog.
00:06:23I'm going to post this and tag her as prom picture.
00:06:27Prom picture.
00:06:32Oh, my God.
00:06:35Hey, I'm in Avondale, what up?
00:06:37This is your lunchtime daily minister, Jake, coming at you.
00:06:53Hey.
00:06:58Does it seriously suck starting my friends?
00:07:01I'll make sure it doesn't suck nearly as bad.
00:07:06Okay, sure.
00:07:13You guys remember me, huh?
00:07:15Yeah, of course.
00:07:16You know, I thought he'd at least congratulate me or something, but no, he had to point out
00:07:21that I dropped the ball and failed everyone, even though I haven't had a drink in over
00:07:25a year.
00:07:25You've got to stop using that word.
00:07:28Fail.
00:07:29That's what I did.
00:07:30I screwed up my marriage, my job.
00:07:32I almost lost custody of my daughter.
00:07:35Julie, your mom died.
00:07:37You went off the rails.
00:07:39As your sponsor, I can vouch that we've all...
00:07:42Stepping in for Joe.
00:07:44I mean, I still can't believe she...
00:07:47She walked out of that school and did what they say she did.
00:07:51From what I've read, the evidence is pretty compelling that she did commit suicide.
00:07:56It looks like that, but I won't believe it until they find her.
00:08:00Joe was tough as nails.
00:08:02When we were in college, if she didn't agree with the professor, she would outright challenge
00:08:06them and not back down.
00:08:07Hey, if you're struggling at any time, you can call me, all right?
00:08:13I'm pretty sure I dump on you every chance I get.
00:08:17That's true.
00:08:23Hopefully a lot better than I thought.
00:08:25Yeah, how so?
00:08:27Well, you know Amy Turner in your math class?
00:08:30Yes.
00:08:30Well, she asked if I could come sit with her and some of her friends at lunch, and they
00:08:36are so cool.
00:08:37Cool kids, huh?
00:08:38Yeah, Mom, don't worry.
00:08:40They're nothing like the girls at Crescent, especially Amy.
00:08:42I mean, yes, she's popular, but she's actually really nice.
00:08:47Well, just keep your head up and your eyes open, because you know how those girls can be,
00:08:52right?
00:08:54You hungry?
00:08:55Indian.
00:08:56Sparkling water sound good?
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:58Awesome.
00:09:15I'll do that.
00:09:18Thanks.
00:09:21I got to get to work.
00:09:33Yes, I got to go.
00:09:35Yes, I got to go.
00:09:42No, no, no.
00:09:43Look at that.
00:09:45Oh, no, no, you wanna go?
00:09:47Industry must be alive.
00:09:47Where are you guys?
00:09:48Who's going to try?
00:09:52You got to go.
00:10:01I can't believe Sophie Harris was nominated.
00:10:05She has a lot of friends, Amy.
00:10:06Yeah. Losers!
00:10:09Well, there's, like, this trend of choosing underdogs.
00:10:12Like, all those celebs who agree to go with total geeks to their proms.
00:10:16Whatever.
00:10:17There is no way she's gonna win.
00:10:19And Heather and Tracy, like, they're not even in the running.
00:10:23Look, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later.
00:10:51Wow.
00:10:53I didn't realize Joanne had so many haters.
00:10:56Well, they'll realize eventually the toughest teachers are often the best ones.
00:11:06Do you seriously think you have a chance at winning?
00:11:10If I don't, then why do you care?
00:11:12Drop out. That crown's not gonna look very good if you don't have any hair.
00:11:15Girls!
00:11:18Is there a problem?
00:11:19I've gotta get to class.
00:11:23You know, I don't know why she doesn't take my advice and style her hair in an updo for prom.
00:11:28It would look amazing.
00:11:30So that's what this was about, hairstyling tips?
00:11:33Because from where I stood, it didn't look so innocent.
00:11:36Really?
00:11:38Well, I can tell you, anyone at this school would die to have Amy Turner give them beauty advice.
00:11:44And why is that?
00:11:45Because I'm just that popular.
00:11:48Your daughter's really lucky to be my friend.
00:11:51I think you should probably head to class.
00:11:53Do you?
00:12:07Eyes on your test, please.
00:12:13Sorry for the interruption.
00:12:15Just a brief announcement that Sophie Harris has withdrawn her name as nominee for this year's prom.
00:12:21Ballots will be accepted until the end of next week for a new nomination.
00:12:30All right, time is up.
00:12:32Everyone have a great weekend.
00:12:34A reminder, chapter 12...
00:12:47Sophie, you have a minute?
00:12:49What happened?
00:12:51Why did you remove your name from the nominee list?
00:12:53It's just not worth it.
00:12:55What do you mean?
00:12:56To go up against Amy.
00:12:58Well, everyone has a chance at winning, Sophie.
00:13:01You don't get it.
00:13:02I just want to finish school and not have to deal with her.
00:13:05I don't need it.
00:13:06I don't need it.
00:13:17I don't want to stop you.
00:13:25I don't want to move anyway.
00:13:27Why did you Harmony
00:13:49I just rescued this from being used as a football.
00:13:54You know, the staff should have one of those,
00:13:56so we can bitch about how this job can suck the life right out of you.
00:13:59Have you had some of these kids?
00:14:01I have.
00:14:02Actually, there's one in particular who strikes me as a bit of a life sucker.
00:14:06Oh, let me guess. Amy Turner?
00:14:08So she has a reputation.
00:14:10Oh, yeah. Amy's one of a kind.
00:14:12She's smart.
00:14:13And she knows how to get under your skin.
00:14:15So if I were you, I'd stay out of her way.
00:14:17Or your time here at Avondale may be over before it's even begun.
00:14:47You know, hey, do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
00:14:52Actually, Amy invited me to hang out with her and some of her friends.
00:14:56Oh, okay.
00:14:58So can we skip dinner tonight?
00:15:00That's okay.
00:15:01We'll be ordering pizza.
00:15:03Sure.
00:15:04Okay, great.
00:15:05I'm going to go with change.
00:15:08So where are you two planning on hanging out tonight?
00:15:11Uh, my boyfriend's.
00:15:14Don't worry.
00:15:15His parents are fine with having people over when they're away.
00:15:19Where's Mr. Taylor?
00:15:21Working late?
00:15:23Mia's father.
00:15:24Keeps the support checks coming.
00:15:26My mom and I didn't get that luxury.
00:15:29So how are you adjusting with the changes at the school?
00:15:33If you're talking about Harvey killing herself, it's too bad.
00:15:38But I'm fine with it.
00:15:39Because to be honest, no one really liked her.
00:15:43I'm asking because I just graded your test and the results are less than spectacular.
00:15:49So?
00:15:51There's only a few weeks of school left.
00:15:53No big deal, right?
00:15:54Well, it is a big deal.
00:15:55I'm your teacher.
00:16:00Does it make your job more fulfilling if your students like you?
00:16:03No.
00:16:05Teaching isn't a part of Joanne if she hadn't tried to play by all the rules.
00:16:09But she didn't get that that's not how things are run at our school.
00:16:14How are things run?
00:16:16You'll figure it out.
00:16:20Wow, you look hot.
00:16:22Thanks.
00:16:23So we'll see you?
00:16:25Have fun.
00:16:25Home by midnight, okay?
00:16:27Okay.
00:16:36How do you just, like, walk out your door one day and jump into a river?
00:16:41You don't even know if that's exactly what she did.
00:16:43Well, what else could have happened?
00:16:44I don't know, but they don't have a body.
00:16:46I heard.
00:16:47Well, that's correct.
00:16:48Maybe he's always wanted to dissect a cadaver.
00:16:50Or maybe he's, like, a closet serial killer.
00:16:53Who?
00:16:54Who?
00:16:55Mr. Peters.
00:16:56We're thinking he has Miss Harvey's body stashed in formaldehyde somewhere.
00:17:00Oh, my God.
00:17:01Will you guys please stop talking about Harvey?
00:17:03My phone is literally blowing up since I posted about Dylan's party.
00:17:07Tonight's gonna be lit.
00:17:10I knew her, actually.
00:17:12She was my mom's friend.
00:17:15Really?
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:17So what?
00:17:17Was she depressed?
00:17:19My mom says she wasn't.
00:17:21She doesn't believe she killed herself.
00:17:23See?
00:17:24What does she think happened?
00:17:26I don't know.
00:17:27I think she just hopes she's still alive.
00:17:30Let's go get a drink.
00:17:37Dylan's dad is cool, as long as we don't drink all of his beer.
00:17:41I probably shouldn't.
00:17:43My mom has a real thing about drinking.
00:17:45Yeah, so does mine, but I don't care.
00:17:47No, my mom would totally freak out if she found out I've been drinking.
00:17:51Are you saying our new teacher's a real hard-ass?
00:17:54No, no, it's just, it's just her thing, you know?
00:17:58She used to drink, and she's just really not cool about it.
00:18:02Is that why you have an AA card on your fridge?
00:18:08How climactic would that be?
00:18:11Oh.
00:18:17Hey.
00:18:22How'd you get home?
00:18:23I Ubered.
00:18:25Amy has a later curfew.
00:18:29So what'd you guys do tonight?
00:18:32Just hung out.
00:18:34Any drinking?
00:18:36No, of course not.
00:18:38You know, if you did, you could tell me.
00:18:41I'd rather you talk to me about that kind of thing than not, okay?
00:18:44I'm not into all that, all right, Mom.
00:18:48What about Amy?
00:18:50She's fine.
00:18:52Does she drink?
00:18:55Even if she does, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't work things out.
00:19:00I think your dad and I need time and space right now.
00:19:08But we both love you so much, and we are always here for you.
00:19:13You know, Amy told me that her dad actually left her when she was only a year old.
00:19:18She hasn't seen him since.
00:19:20That might explain her edge.
00:19:24What do you mean?
00:19:26Amy reminds me of some of the girls that went to Crescent.
00:19:29Are you serious?
00:19:30Yes, I'm serious.
00:19:35Mom, she took me in.
00:19:37I was the totally new girl.
00:19:39She didn't have to be mean to people.
00:19:44You know, not everyone's going to be nice to everybody.
00:19:50But at least this time, it's not me.
00:19:53You know what?
00:19:54No, I'm going to bed.
00:20:05What are you doing, home?
00:20:07They let me go early so they can schedule me for a double tomorrow.
00:20:12It's past two, Amy.
00:20:14I thought we had an agreement you're home by one.
00:20:17What do you care?
00:20:18You're literally never here.
00:20:20I care a lot.
00:20:21And just because I'm worried, I'm talking to you.
00:20:26Give me that.
00:20:51All the devil bring home.
00:21:06I'm going to bed.
00:21:08I'm going to bed.
00:21:08I'm going to bed.
00:21:09I'm going to bed.
00:21:10I'm going to bed.
00:21:12I'm going to bed.
00:21:12I'm going to bed.
00:21:15I'm going to bed.
00:21:15I'm going to bed.
00:21:16I'm going to bed.
00:21:18I'm going to bed.
00:21:18I'm going to bed.
00:21:19I'm going to bed.
00:21:20I'm going to bed.
00:21:22I'm going to bed.
00:21:24I'm going to bed.
00:21:25I'm going to bed.
00:21:45Dad, just called me today.
00:21:47Where would you like to go for your birthday shopping spree?
00:21:49Somewhere I can find a dress for prom.
00:21:51So you're going?
00:21:53Yeah.
00:21:53Actually, last night, Amy convinced me I should.
00:21:56I mean, I don't have a date or anything, but it doesn't matter.
00:21:59I can just go with Amy and her friends.
00:22:01It's a special night.
00:22:02I'm glad you're going.
00:22:04Let's go buy that dress.
00:22:08Who's that?
00:22:08I asked Amy if she could come along.
00:22:10I didn't think he'd mind.
00:22:15Amy, Mrs. T?
00:22:17You girls ready to go shopping?
00:22:18I know the perfect place.
00:22:28This is it.
00:22:30This is my dream dress.
00:22:35What do you think?
00:22:37Pit for a queen.
00:22:39It's gorgeous.
00:22:41Oh, you should get this one.
00:22:42It's perfect.
00:22:43I don't know.
00:22:44They're a little pricey, don't you think?
00:22:46That's okay.
00:22:47My mom gave me your debit card and told me to get whatever dress I wanted.
00:22:50I mean, it is the biggest night of your life.
00:22:53I doubt it'll be the biggest night of your life.
00:22:56Are you kidding?
00:22:58Everything that we have worked for for 18 years has brought us to that night.
00:23:03And who you are on prom will define you for the rest of your life.
00:23:14Mom, can I please get this dress?
00:23:17I think we need to shop around.
00:23:26Happy birthday, dear Mia.
00:23:32Happy birthday to you.
00:23:37Make a wish.
00:23:44I bet I can guess what you wished for.
00:23:47A date for prom.
00:23:50Oh, by the way, I spoke to the committee.
00:23:52To Mia.
00:23:54You are officially an adult.
00:23:57But you'll always be my baby girl.
00:24:01Shouldn't we be toasting with some champagne?
00:24:03I mean, 18 is kind of a big deal.
00:24:06Uh, it is, but it's not 21.
00:24:09Well, you can have a glass.
00:24:14I'm sorry.
00:24:15I forgot.
00:24:17Forgot what?
00:24:19That you're recovering.
00:24:21I am.
00:24:22In fact, I am proud to say I haven't had a drink in over a year now, right, honey?
00:24:26I'm going to go grab us some sodas.
00:24:28Okay.
00:24:32I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable.
00:24:34Are you aware that you're failing math?
00:24:37Yeah, but I'll just make it up after grad.
00:24:40Sure, but the rules at Avondale are pretty clear.
00:24:43You have to pass all of your subjects in order to attend prom.
00:24:47And you said yourself Miss Harvey played by the rules,
00:24:50so I'm sure she informed you of that.
00:24:53She was going to give me a chance to take a few extra tests.
00:25:00Really?
00:25:01Yeah.
00:25:03Will you give me that?
00:25:07I can arrange for another test.
00:25:10Great.
00:25:15Happy birthday, me.
00:25:22So, how did Amy know about my drinking?
00:25:25Mom, you have an AA card on the fridge?
00:25:30Did she talk to you about it?
00:25:32No.
00:25:33Of course not.
00:25:36Well, I've got some homework I should probably get done,
00:25:38so I'm going to go do that.
00:25:43Thanks for the cake.
00:25:44You're welcome, honey.
00:26:01My debit card was missing from my purse today.
00:26:05I needed a prom dress loan.
00:26:08You knew that.
00:26:16Amy, we can't afford this.
00:26:19You're going to have to take it back,
00:26:20and we can buy you another one.
00:26:22Where?
00:26:23Some crappy consignment store?
00:26:25Oh, or the outlet and all?
00:26:28God, I mean, look at this.
00:26:30Cheap, cheap, ugly, cheap.
00:26:34Do you really expect me to wear this acrylic rag?
00:26:37Think about it.
00:26:38How would this have made me look, Mom?
00:26:40The clothes that you bought me for years,
00:26:42and now on the biggest night of my life,
00:26:45you want me to wear what?
00:26:48What?
00:26:49Some hand-me-down dress from prom three years ago?
00:26:54I've worked so hard to give you the best I could,
00:26:58including tuition.
00:26:59Well, maybe you should have worked harder.
00:27:01Look at you.
00:27:02Is it so hard to pull yourself together?
00:27:06Everyone knows that in order to be the best,
00:27:09you have to look the best.
00:27:11So it's no wonder we live paycheck to paycheck.
00:27:17Not me.
00:27:18I'm not going to live like that.
00:27:21I'm going to meet a...
00:27:27Vicki?
00:27:27Do you have a minute?
00:27:28Of course.
00:27:29What is it?
00:27:31I'm wondering if anyone has ever filed a complaint
00:27:34against Amy Turner.
00:27:36Not that I'm aware.
00:27:37Not just teachers, but students.
00:27:41Of course not.
00:27:42And I'm sure if there were any issues they were dealt with,
00:27:45since we strongly encourage our teachers
00:27:47to handle things internally,
00:27:50I'm sure you can understand why.
00:27:53Of course.
00:28:00So, the rumor's getting around
00:28:02that you're as tough as Joanne was.
00:28:04Are you steering clear?
00:28:05I'm actually surprised no one's filed a complaint against her.
00:28:08Well, no one likes to admit
00:28:10when they can't manage a student, Julie.
00:28:12So what do you do?
00:28:13Look the other way?
00:28:15Or you do like Carol Saunders did.
00:28:17You take a leave.
00:28:19She left because of Amy.
00:28:21Well, she never said it,
00:28:22but that would be my guess.
00:28:24How's Amy behaving in your class?
00:28:26She's failing it,
00:28:27but I'm giving her a chance to raise her grade.
00:28:30Well, make it easy.
00:28:31I'll make it fair.
00:28:33Hey, do you know where I might be able to find Miss Saunders?
00:28:36In the teacher directory?
00:28:38If not, I'm sure a dead secretary could help you.
00:28:41Thanks.
00:28:55Hi.
00:28:56Uh, are you Carol Saunders?
00:28:58Yes.
00:28:58Can I help you?
00:29:00I'm Julie Taylor.
00:29:01I'm Avondale's new math teacher.
00:29:04I was wondering if you could give me some insight
00:29:06into a former student of yours, Amy Turner.
00:29:08I hear you may have had some trouble with her.
00:29:12Who did you hear that from?
00:29:14Mr. Peters.
00:29:16Oh.
00:29:17So he's still playing along with her, is he?
00:29:20Well, that's one way to hang on to your job.
00:29:23I was under the impression you took a leave.
00:29:26That's right.
00:29:26I left before she could have me do.
00:29:29Shouldn't I be asking you that?
00:29:32That's why you're here, aren't you?
00:29:36Yeah, she may be playing some games.
00:29:41Be careful.
00:29:44Is a sociopath.
00:29:47And she plays to win.
00:29:49You really believe she's a...
00:29:53She made sure my marriage ended.
00:29:56Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got an appointment to get to.
00:30:00Why would she do that?
00:30:01Because he...
00:30:03Because you see me...
00:30:05Because this is a...
00:30:09Why?
00:30:10Let's go.
00:30:40Let's go.
00:31:35It's dinner time, Joanne.
00:31:53That's a good girl.
00:31:54Let's go.
00:32:36Mr. Peters?
00:32:39I need to take another math test.
00:32:42And what does that have to do with me?
00:32:45Well, I was hoping that you could get me a copy of the test that I can use to study,
00:32:51and I won't tell anyone about the time that you put your hand on my skirt.
00:32:57That never happened.
00:32:58And I know that you want to just finish out the school year with a good reputation.
00:33:10Mia, your father's here.
00:33:14Hey, you want to come in?
00:33:16Actually, uh, I was hoping to have a word.
00:33:19Outside?
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:25What is it?
00:33:26I got a call late last night from your sponsor.
00:33:29She said you had a relapse.
00:33:33That's impossible.
00:33:36That's not true.
00:33:37Look, I know you've had a hard time with this whole Joanne thing.
00:33:40That all can change.
00:33:41Mark, I haven't had a drink in almost 13 months.
00:33:44Kate knows that.
00:33:46She wouldn't say anything differently.
00:33:48Call her.
00:33:48Call my sponsor, Mark.
00:33:50Please.
00:33:51What's going on?
00:33:52Your father thinks I've been drinking again.
00:33:55Dad, she hasn't.
00:33:56Trust me.
00:33:56I know she hasn't.
00:33:57We should go.
00:33:58I only get a few hours with my birthday girl.
00:34:00Mark, I am telling you the truth.
00:34:12Hello.
00:34:13Kate, it's Julie.
00:34:15Hey.
00:34:16What's going on?
00:34:17What?
00:34:18What do you mean?
00:34:20I, um, Mark said you left him a message saying I've been drinking.
00:34:22Well, why would he just make that up?
00:34:25Julie, I didn't call your ex-husband.
00:34:28For one, I don't have his number.
00:34:30And secondly, I know you haven't been drinking.
00:34:32So it wasn't me.
00:34:35Okay.
00:34:43She thinks she's giving me another chance.
00:34:45She thinks she's doing me a favor.
00:34:48But she doesn't get it.
00:34:50You don't threaten me, Miss Taylor.
00:34:53I think we all know how that's going to end, Joanne.
00:34:56I don't want your friend to end up like you.
00:35:03Do it.
00:35:04Make sure you show your work.
00:35:14You know, no adult has ever been in here.
00:35:19Not even my mom.
00:35:23Because you were only allowed in if I said so.
00:35:28Not that I had any friends.
00:35:33They made fun of me for my clothes, for my $10 haircut.
00:35:43And Meg Dyer.
00:35:45She was so...
00:35:49So one day I told her that I had all this Halloween candy to give her.
00:35:53And I brought her back here.
00:36:00But there was no candy.
00:36:07After that...
00:36:10She never believed me again.
00:36:14No one ever did.
00:36:29It's going to take a lot more than a pencil to hurt me.
00:36:50You might actually prove to be useful.
00:37:01Julie, can I talk to you?
00:37:04It'll just take a second.
00:37:11Sure.
00:37:11But I was worried I was going to miss you.
00:37:14And I'm going to meet him just before lunch.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:16Well, I'll make sure to find you before lunch.
00:37:33Vote for Amy Turner and Dylan Wade
00:37:36for this year's Prom King and Queen.
00:37:40And in case anyone has forgotten
00:37:42how we have represented the school
00:37:44for the last four years,
00:37:46here's a little chichi to remind you
00:37:48of why we deserve to be your Prom King and Queen.
00:38:12So what did you want to talk to me about?
00:38:15It's Amy's marks.
00:38:16Based on the grade she received from Miss Harvey
00:38:18and the test she just retook,
00:38:20it looks like she's failing math.
00:38:23Really?
00:38:24I'm surprised.
00:38:25Amy's marks have always been so good.
00:38:27Well, it doesn't look like this is working out for her.
00:38:30And if she doesn't pass, she won't graduate.
00:38:34What do you know about Amy's grades?
00:38:36She called, and we were planning on meeting,
00:38:38but then a few days later,
00:38:40I heard she disappeared.
00:38:45Amy, sweetie, your teacher dropped by
00:38:49to discuss your marks.
00:38:52You failed your test again.
00:39:01That's not possible.
00:39:04I have it right here.
00:39:11I'm sure that there's a way
00:39:12that she could retake it again, right?
00:39:15Actually, I was already stretching.
00:39:17It is, but you'd have to score 98%
00:39:19to bring your grade just above a pass.
00:39:21I'll do it.
00:39:24I appreciate the intent,
00:39:25but I think we need to be realistic
00:39:27based on your year.
00:39:28You don't know me well enough
00:39:29to assume anything.
00:39:30Okay.
00:39:32I'm sure that Amy will do
00:39:33whatever she has to do
00:39:34to bring up her mark.
00:39:36I'm sure she will.
00:39:39Thank you for your time, Elaine.
00:39:41If you have my cell,
00:39:42if you need to discuss anything further.
00:39:56Why didn't you do something?
00:40:00Where are you going?
00:40:14What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:40:18You got your test, Mike.
00:40:22Do you see where you are right now?
00:40:25You don't get to play teacher anymore.
00:40:28If you don't help me pass,
00:40:29I swear I will kill you.
00:40:32Wasn't that your plan anyhow?
00:40:35What do you have a plan?
00:40:36You don't stop?
00:41:06Let's go.
00:41:39Let's go.
00:42:06Let's go.
00:42:11Are you okay?
00:42:13Yeah, I'm fine.
00:42:14Do you want to hang out after school and go over some prom stuff?
00:42:19Sure.
00:42:19Can we do it at your place?
00:42:21My mom's working nights and she hates to be woken up.
00:42:24Yeah, no problem.
00:42:25Cool.
00:42:27I'll see you after school then.
00:42:45What are you doing?
00:42:46Do you have something?
00:42:48Come on.
00:42:50We're just trying it.
00:42:51We'll put it back.
00:42:52Okay.
00:42:53I'll just have a few things my dad gave her.
00:42:58Let's see.
00:43:01Do you have a dress yet?
00:43:04No.
00:43:05Not yet.
00:43:12You should wear your hair up for prom.
00:43:15That would look amazing.
00:43:20Throughout these.
00:43:21Thanks.
00:43:22Yes.
00:43:23Perfect.
00:43:29Maybe it went under the bed.
00:43:37Did you find it?
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:44You look like you saw a ghost.
00:43:48Hey, let's just put these back.
00:44:37Hey, Mia.
00:44:39I have something to show you.
00:44:51I thought about-
00:44:52I found this beside your bed.
00:44:56Mia, this isn't mine.
00:44:57Don't lie to me.
00:44:59It's not.
00:45:00Well, then where did it come from?
00:45:01Because you're the only one in this house who drinks.
00:45:03I don't drink, Mia.
00:45:06I backed you with dad and you were lying.
00:45:08So how am I supposed to talk to you now if you weren't even honest with me?
00:45:11Mia, please.
00:45:12No.
00:45:13No.
00:45:14Please.
00:45:15You know what?
00:45:15You said that this was going to be a fresh start for both of us.
00:45:19And I was finally starting to feel good.
00:45:21I mean, what would I have said if Amy found this?
00:45:23Amy was here?
00:45:24We were planning prom.
00:45:26Were you in my room?
00:45:27What does that have to do with-
00:45:28Were you in my room?
00:45:30Why are you yelling at me?
00:45:31I don't trust her.
00:45:33I don't trust that girl.
00:45:34I don't believe you.
00:45:38You know I don't drink.
00:45:41You know I don't.
00:45:43Where are you going?
00:45:44I'm going to dad's.
00:45:45And don't worry.
00:45:46I'm not going to tell him why and I won't as long as you don't stop me.
00:45:49Mia.
00:45:49I know.
00:45:56I know what.
00:45:59Oh yeah.
00:46:00Oh yeah.
00:46:08Oh yeah.
00:46:10I know what I'm saying.
00:46:13Oh yeah.
00:46:13Oh yeah.
00:46:14Oh yeah.
00:46:16Oh yeah.
00:46:41Amy, not right now mom, I'm gonna be late for school.
00:46:57You know, I've been thinking, isn't it kind of cramping our style, hanging out with Mia?
00:47:05She's nice or whatever, but her mom is such a bitch.
00:47:07Here she is.
00:47:09Well, Mia has done nothing to back me.
00:47:13So, should we get a stretch or a stacked SUV?
00:47:17You guys thinking of renting a limo for prom?
00:47:20Of course.
00:47:21Cool, I'd be into that.
00:47:24Don't you have to be there early or something for a committee?
00:47:28Maybe you could just go on your own.
00:47:43How dare you try to manipulate my daughter and my life?
00:47:47Honestly, I don't know what you are on about now.
00:47:50I know you ended Miss Saunders' marriage and pushed her out.
00:47:54I am not going anywhere.
00:47:58That's fine.
00:47:59I like a challenge.
00:48:02And you know what they say, every hurdle you knock over just makes you stronger.
00:48:07It's every hurdle you overcome, Amy.
00:48:09You are not as smart as you lie and cheat and pretend to me.
00:48:14Actually, I am.
00:48:15Because if you look at the assignment I'm handing in, you'll see that it's perfect, which raises
00:48:21my grade just over a...
00:48:22I've won.
00:48:23There's nothing more that you can do.
00:48:56There's nothing more that you can do.
00:48:56There's nothing more that you can do.
00:49:18Mia!
00:49:19Mia!
00:49:20Mia!
00:49:26Oh, my God.
00:49:56Oh, my God.
00:50:25Just collecting the laundry.
00:50:28Well, here, let me take a look at it.
00:50:30It's fine.
00:50:31God, just go play nurse at work.
00:51:19You're looking for these?
00:51:22You've become a lot of things, Amy,
00:51:24and I didn't think you'd turn to this.
00:51:26I'm not a pill popper, Mom.
00:51:28Then where have they gone?
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:31Maybe you took them and you don't even know it.
00:51:33I see you popping them like candy with your wine.
00:51:36It's not true.
00:51:37You know it.
00:51:38Isn't it?
00:51:39Whose name is on the bottle, Mom?
00:51:42Why?
00:51:43Why do you even take them?
00:51:45This isn't about me.
00:51:46Of course it is.
00:51:47Because if I were taking them,
00:51:49whose fault would that be?
00:51:50Who brought them into this house?
00:51:52Is it because...
00:51:57Or maybe it's all those things
00:51:59because your sad, pathetic little life
00:52:01didn't turn out the way that you planned?
00:52:03Working 12-hour shifts
00:52:05with no one to come home to
00:52:06but your bottle and...
00:52:08It's you, all right?
00:52:11I take them because of you.
00:52:15Well,
00:52:18in a couple of months,
00:52:19I'll be gone,
00:52:20and then you can have them all to yourself.
00:52:50I'll be right back.
00:53:18Are you following me?
00:53:22I did say I was watching you.
00:53:27You have no idea
00:53:29the mistake that you just made.
00:53:32Tell me something, Amy.
00:53:35Why do your handwritten numbers
00:53:38match Joanne's?
00:53:43Are you serious?
00:53:46Very.
00:53:49You're crazier than your friend.
00:53:52I don't think so.
00:53:53In fact, I think the detective on the case
00:53:55will call this evidence.
00:53:56And I'm pretty sure that he would call this
00:53:58whatever you want, Amy.
00:54:00But I haven't done anything wrong.
00:54:02I'm out on a walk.
00:54:04And I happen to run into you.
00:54:06Oh, okay, so I'm not here.
00:54:11I'm at home.
00:54:14What's that?
00:54:15My teacher's at my door.
00:54:18She's accusing me of having something to do with her
00:54:21daughter moving out.
00:54:23She's really angry, and I'm pretty sure she's drunk.
00:54:29I'm just guessing that maybe she fell off the wagon
00:54:33because of her dear friend Joanne.
00:54:36And when I try to get her to leave,
00:54:39she lashes out.
00:54:41No one will believe it.
00:54:43You don't think so?
00:54:44I don't think so.
00:55:01Amy, stop it!
00:55:05What the hell?
00:55:09Miss Taylor, please!
00:55:34I know how uncomfortable this must be for you, Amy,
00:55:36and I'm sure Miss Taylor appreciates your understanding
00:55:39as much as I do.
00:55:40Vicki, with all due respect, this didn't happen.
00:55:45None of it, in my whole life.
00:55:47I have never laid my hand on anyone, let alone a student.
00:55:50I mean, to even success...
00:55:51Miss Taylor, Amy has been generous enough
00:55:53for not filing a formal complaint.
00:55:56And her request that you be dismissed effective immediately
00:55:58is not uncalled for.
00:56:00Please.
00:56:02Elaine.
00:56:04Children.
00:56:08And you let her get away with this.
00:56:10You're letting her get away with a pretty big lie.
00:56:15I-I-I wanted to talk to her.
00:56:18I saw her...
00:56:19I saw her walk behind the house
00:56:21and into the woods, and I followed her.
00:56:23Can you please go now?
00:56:24Of course.
00:56:25She left this.
00:56:27Stuck to my door with a knife.
00:56:30You saw her do this?
00:56:31I didn't see her.
00:56:32I-I...
00:56:32But I know it was her
00:56:33because she's been doing stuff like this.
00:56:35She's been bullying me since I started this job,
00:56:37and I-I won't care.
00:56:38Julie, that's enough.
00:56:40On behalf of the entire school,
00:56:42you have our sincerest apologies
00:56:44and assurance this will be dealt with.
00:56:50What the hell was that about?
00:56:52You don't get it.
00:56:53She's crazy.
00:56:54I mean, she...
00:56:56Vicki, you gotta believe me.
00:56:57She did this.
00:56:58She did this.
00:56:59She did that to her face.
00:57:01So what?
00:57:01An 18-year-old was bullying you?
00:57:03She's manipulative.
00:57:04I mean, she knows what to do
00:57:06to get what she wants.
00:57:07I mean, you-you can ask Mr. Peters.
00:57:09Ask Carol.
00:57:10I don't have to, Julie.
00:57:11Because there's never been
00:57:12a single complaint against her.
00:57:13Because no one wants to lose their job!
00:57:16Okay, we're done here.
00:57:20And Julie...
00:57:22get some help.
00:57:40Amy?
00:57:42Amy?
00:57:44Amy?
00:58:04Amy?
00:58:29Hi.
00:58:30Hi.
00:58:33I'm sorry, uh...
00:58:34Did you call because my phone didn't ring?
00:58:36No, um, I have Mia's prom dress.
00:58:38Is she home?
00:58:39Yeah, she just got back from school.
00:58:42She went in.
00:58:47Mia!
00:58:55Hey.
00:58:56Hey.
00:58:58What are you doing here?
00:59:00I brought your prom dress.
00:59:02You don't have to wear it, but I know you love it,
00:59:05and I wanted you to have the option.
00:59:08Sure.
00:59:10How about I, uh, put that up in your room for you?
00:59:30I wanted to let you know that it didn't, didn't else, right?
00:59:36Another fresh start.
00:59:38I know you don't have a lot of faith in me right now,
00:59:40but don't believe everything you hear.
00:59:42What are you talking about?
00:59:43You know me, Mia.
00:59:46Please don't forget that, okay?
00:59:49And I love you.
00:59:52So I want you to have a great time at prom tonight,
00:59:55and stay away from Amy.
01:00:00Have fun.
01:00:28Mom?
01:00:29Mom?
01:00:32Mom!
01:00:38Mom!
01:00:42Can you zip me up, please?
01:00:50I saw you.
01:00:53Going into the woods.
01:00:57What were you doing?
01:00:58I don't have to tell you everything I'm doing.
01:01:01As long as you live in my house, you do.
01:01:06Fine. I went to meet Dylan for a little pre-prom sex,
01:01:09because I figured he'd be too drunk after.
01:01:14Are you glad you asked?
01:01:19I know most mothers are proud.
01:01:22And their daughters are about to graduate.
01:01:26I'm proud of the women they've become.
01:01:31Well...
01:01:33Then you should be glowing, Mother.
01:01:39I'm not.
01:01:42I don't care what you think.
01:01:46This is my night.
01:01:51I'm gonna be the queen.
01:02:09I think we've been a little.
01:02:12I'm gonna be the queen.
01:02:13I'm gonna be the queen of people.
01:02:14It's very good.
01:02:16We've done the queen.
01:02:18Very good, too.
01:02:19I'm gonna be the queen.
01:02:20Very good.
01:02:22Oico.
01:02:30Oh, my gosh, that limo was so sick.
01:02:34Enjoy prom.
01:02:35Oh, you too.
01:02:36Thanks.
01:02:36Okay, guys.
01:02:38Let's tag this moment in history.
01:02:44Hey.
01:02:47Hey.
01:02:49Nice dress.
01:02:51Was that the one on the discount rack?
01:02:55You have to vote before you go in.
01:02:57I'd love to.
01:03:03Is it I'd like to vote?
01:03:09Come on, guys.
01:03:11That part of you, babe?
01:03:12Ah!
01:03:22Hello?
01:03:25I'll be right there.
01:03:35Come in.
01:03:37Has Amy gotten a prom?
01:03:39Yeah.
01:03:40She left a short while ago.
01:03:42Um, I, uh, I really need you to...
01:03:47I know.
01:03:52Where did Amy go?
01:03:54Tell me to practice her victory speech.
01:03:58You vote for her?
01:04:00Of course.
01:04:02Why didn't you?
01:04:05No.
01:04:07For real?
01:04:08Oh, my gosh.
01:04:09If Amy finds out, she is going to kill you.
01:04:12Seriously, Sarah?
01:04:13She's just a bitch, not a psycho.
01:04:23Lady?
01:04:26Hey.
01:04:26Hey.
01:04:34So?
01:04:37Did I win?
01:04:41You'll have to wait and see.
01:04:51I knew you were useless.
01:04:53What are you doing?
01:04:54You don't get it, Mia.
01:04:57You made a mistake counting the votes.
01:04:59No, I didn't.
01:05:00You know the only reason that you're here is because of me.
01:05:04Don't touch me, you bitch!
01:05:08What the hell?
01:05:15My mom was right about you.
01:05:17What?
01:05:18You mean that drunk that you left to go live with your dad?
01:05:21All because of the cheap bottle of Chardonnay by the bed?
01:05:24You know, it's too bad it wasn't a better year.
01:05:27I might have actually enjoyed it.
01:05:29You're not getting that crown.
01:05:34Don't mess with me, Mia.
01:05:37I will break you, the same way that I did your mother.
01:05:48That doll you found on your door?
01:05:54I haven't been able to mother Amy in such a long time.
01:06:03She looks down on me, you know?
01:06:06She thinks I'm a failure.
01:06:08She should, because you're right.
01:06:11I should have raised a child who's respectful and kind.
01:06:22Amy's none of those things.
01:06:26Not anymore.
01:06:30You, um, you said you followed her that night into the woods?
01:06:34Yes.
01:06:37What do you think she's doing back there?
01:06:50She used to be Amy's clubhouse.
01:06:52Why would she still be coming out here?
01:06:54I don't know.
01:06:55Even more.
01:07:08I don't know.
01:07:27It's nailed shut.
01:07:46Oh, my God.
01:07:49Joanne.
01:07:50Oh, my God.
01:07:52Elaine, help me get her out.
01:07:58Let's get you out.
01:07:59No.
01:08:06What happened?
01:08:06Who did this to you?
01:08:10Amy Turner.
01:08:12Why?
01:08:13I told her she wouldn't go to the prom.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:17That's why she had Mia count the votes.
01:08:20If Amy doesn't win...
01:08:24Mia, please pick up.
01:08:26Call the police.
01:08:29Hi, this is Mia. Please leave a message.
01:08:33I'm going to the school.
01:08:35Tell the police to meet me there, okay?
01:08:37911, what's an emergency?
01:08:38Maybe.
01:08:41What would you give us?
01:08:43You again...
01:08:45One, two, three, one.
01:08:47It's hard to do with her.
01:08:47This screen is zelfs.
01:08:47I don't know who.
01:09:34To all my friends, peers, and fellow students, I'm so honored to accept this crown as your
01:09:47prom queen.
01:09:51And I wish you all the greatest success, because if you really want it, you can have it.
01:10:12Do you know where Mia is?
01:10:24To all my friends, peers, and fellow students, I'm so honored to accept this crown as your
01:10:29prom queen.
01:10:31Do you know where Mia is?
01:10:32I saw her with Amy Turner.
01:10:41Mia!
01:10:43Mia!
01:10:45I wish you all the greatest success, because if you really want it, you're gonna have it.
01:11:05Mia!
01:11:07Mom!
01:11:08Mia!
01:11:10Mom!
01:11:10Mom, I'm locked in!
01:11:12Mia!
01:11:14Please!
01:11:16Mom!
01:11:20Are you okay?
01:11:24I'm so sorry you were right.
01:11:26It's okay.
01:11:27You were right about Amy.
01:11:28It's okay.
01:11:31What are we gonna do?
01:11:32Wait.
01:11:35Amy!
01:11:38What are you doing here?
01:11:40You were fired, remember?
01:11:43You should probably leave before the principal sees you.
01:11:45I know what you did.
01:11:47To Mia.
01:11:48To Joanne.
01:11:49And for what?
01:11:50For this?
01:11:52Have you been drinking again, Miss Taylor?
01:11:56Because you're sounding seriously crazy.
01:11:59I found Joanne in your clubhouse.
01:12:02Yes.
01:12:03And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for.
01:12:09This year's prom.
01:12:10We're in Dylan Wade!
01:12:18I won!
01:12:21You're gonna pay for what you did.
01:12:23All of it.
01:12:24Let me go!
01:12:26Come up and claim your crown.
01:12:48My friends, peers, and fellow students.
01:12:52I'm Queen.
01:12:54For years, I have strived to represent Avendale in his excellence.
01:13:01In everything that I do.
01:13:04Because the greatest school needs the best students.
01:13:08And by awarding me this crown, you've proven to me that I'm the best.
01:13:15What are you doing?
01:13:18No.
01:13:19No, no, no, no.
01:13:21I haven't finished my speech yet.
01:13:23Get off me.
01:13:25Don't you get it?
01:13:26I'm the wrong Queen!
01:13:28This is my moment!
01:13:31I deserved it!
01:13:34Not them!
01:13:36Look at them!
01:13:38They're all losers!
01:13:40I'm the Queen!
01:13:43I'm the Queen!
01:13:59Oh my god, she is a psycho.
01:14:12It's okay.
01:14:13Really.
01:14:14I'm fine.
01:14:14I-I don't need this.
01:14:16Yes, you do.
01:14:17Joe, I'm so sorry.
01:14:19It took me so long to find you.
01:14:21I don't know what would have happened.
01:14:22You found me.
01:14:24That's all that matters.
01:14:39I am so sorry, Mom.
01:14:43She manipulated you.
01:14:45You didn't know.
01:14:45No.
01:14:46I should have listened to you.
01:14:48I'll remind you of that next time.
01:14:52Hey, Mia.
01:14:54You want to come with us to the after party?
01:14:56Thanks, but I think I'll pass.
01:15:04I guess nothing will ruin the biggest night of their lives.
01:15:09Can we just go home now?
01:15:17You told me I was crazy.
01:15:20You said that if we don't have trust, we have nothing.
01:15:24You said that to me, do you remember?
01:15:30Answer me!
01:16:10No, I don't have doubt in the world, guy.
01:16:11We are so sorry for waiting.
