00:00:16And the place where GLOW started
00:00:46My mom had her moment, and I've been waiting for mine.
00:00:54Good morning, Ms. Carter.
00:00:56These are today's outfit options.
00:00:58Your mother's Paris showcase jacket, the one Vogue called the Rebirth of GLOW,
00:01:03and the silver cuff from her final tour.
00:01:05It was everywhere last year.
00:01:07Plus the boots from the reunion concert, they still trend online.
00:01:11Thanks, but today, I'm doing it my way.
00:01:27First impressions are overrated anyway.
00:01:34You're serious.
00:01:36Dead serious.
00:01:37You're going alone?
00:01:38Yeah.
00:01:39No driver?
00:01:40No security?
00:01:41That's the whole point.
00:01:44I don't want anyone knowing who my mom is, or rolling their eyes and going,
00:01:48oh great, another useless nepho baby.
00:01:50Hey, you're not useless.
00:01:52You're talented.
00:01:53I want real friends.
00:01:55And real talent.
00:01:57Not people chasing your shadow.
00:02:02This thing's safe?
00:02:05It's a bike, mom.
00:02:06I'll survive.
00:02:08I'll text when I get there.
00:02:09Love you.
00:02:12Love you too.
00:02:15Keep your distance, but don't lose her.
00:02:18Sun's up.
00:02:20It's a little after twelve.
00:02:23Make breakfast for myself.
00:02:26Leave the world for someone else.
00:02:29On this perfect day.
00:02:33Nothing's standing in my way.
00:02:36On this perfect day.
00:02:42Did you hear?
00:02:43The original glow leader's kid is transferring here.
00:02:46Funny how nobody knows what she looks like.
00:02:48No way.
00:02:48Claire Carter's daughter?
00:02:50If that's true, I'm getting on her good side immediately.
00:02:53And that's exactly why I can't let anyone know.
00:03:00Wow.
00:03:01The admission standards here have really tanked, huh?
00:03:04Do you smell that?
00:03:05What's that stench this early in the morning?
00:03:07So gross.
00:03:09Found it.
00:03:09Turns out a stinky little cockroach snucked in.
00:03:12Is this the new girl?
00:03:13She looks so average.
00:03:15How did she even get in?
00:03:16I heard Claire Carter's daughter is transferring today.
00:03:19If she sees our school letting people like this in,
00:03:22she's going to be so disappointed.
00:03:27Do you always talk like that?
00:03:29Or only when you feel insecure?
00:03:32Excuse me?
00:03:35You dare talk back?
00:03:37Someone needs to teach this pest a proper lesson!
00:03:47Oops.
00:03:48Was that important?
00:04:00Thrust store losers shouldn't carry art.
00:04:04People like you don't get to talk about art!
00:04:12Looks like you really treasure these cheap little scribbles
00:04:15that wouldn't even buy you a burger.
00:04:19No!
00:04:40Wait, there's more to come.
00:04:42Bitch.
00:04:52Relax.
00:04:53It's hydration.
00:04:56Careful, Tiffany.
00:04:57Original thoughts might melt in the rain.
00:05:02Relax, Thrift Queen.
00:05:03This will help wash off that stench for everyone's sake.
00:05:15Thanks.
00:05:16It's no, nothing.
00:05:17They're salvageable.
00:05:20Maybe sit this one out, Lexi.
00:05:22Public speaking isn't your brand.
00:05:30Oh my god.
00:05:31Oh my god.
00:05:45That's her!
00:05:47Westridge High.
00:05:48Ready for your new flow, leader?
00:06:02Oh my god.
00:06:05You're, you're her, right?
00:06:07I'm Brooke.
00:06:08This is Tiffany.
00:06:10We've been waiting for the Carter girl forever.
00:06:12I maxed out every card I had just to look like this for five minutes.
00:06:16And now they think I'm Claire Carter's daughter?
00:06:18Perfect.
00:06:19Of course I am.
00:06:20Guess the rumors finally caught up.
00:06:22Excuse me.
00:06:25But you don't really look like a Carter.
00:06:33And you are?
00:06:35Facilities forgot to badge you?
00:06:37Don't bother.
00:06:38She wouldn't recognize Talon if it slapped her in the face.
00:06:48The bell saved your ass, bitch.
00:06:53I'll deal with you later.
00:06:55And just remember, standing next to you would get me tainted by your stench.
00:07:04Ladies, formation.
00:07:08Oh, and...
00:07:09If you're standing next to me, act like it.
00:07:17Sure.
00:07:24I could end this show right now.
00:07:26But then what?
00:07:27Spend my life playing a role everyone already wrote for me?
00:07:30Fine, Mia Carter.
00:07:31Let's see how long you can sing someone else's song.
00:07:41Hey, quick announcement.
00:07:44I'm Mia Carter.
00:07:46Yes, that Carter.
00:07:49Glow literally dominated every award show.
00:07:51Claire even went to space for real.
00:07:53My cousin saw Glow live.
00:07:55Swears the air changed when Claire hit that note.
00:07:57And her solo career?
00:07:58Legend.
00:07:59I don't want special treatment.
00:08:01I just want real talent.
00:08:02So I'm rebooting Glow.
00:08:09Talent showcase is coming.
00:08:10And Glow doesn't compete.
00:08:12Glow wins.
00:08:14Main vocals?
00:08:15Lead dancers.
00:08:17Rappers?
00:08:18If you're not elite, don't waste my time.
00:08:21What's her problem?
00:08:23People like that, rats in the gutter, seeing someone this dazzling,
00:08:25they're probably fooming at the mouth with jealousy.
00:08:27It's fine.
00:08:28Some people probably walked in here dreaming about a Cinderella glow-up
00:08:32before school even started.
00:08:34But reality checks are brutal.
00:08:36Around here, we only play by real talent.
00:08:39Look at Claire Carter's daughter.
00:08:42So gracious, so charismatic.
00:08:43Oh, really?
00:08:45I'm curious.
00:08:45How exactly are we supposed to prove that?
00:08:48Oh, and I'm hosting a little get-together tonight.
00:08:52Some of you will be invited.
00:08:55No clearance-rec entries.
00:08:57You'll scare them away with your filth.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00This isn't a charity open mic for beggars.
00:09:04I heard the Carter Mansion has a private music room.
00:09:07Custom piano.
00:09:08Glow lyrics carved into the lid.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:13Totally.
00:09:14Cool.
00:09:14Why don't we hold the auditions there?
00:09:19That would be iconic!
00:09:21The hell?
00:09:23How can I break into a mansion I don't belong in?
00:09:28My house isn't exactly open to the public.
00:09:33These aren't the public.
00:09:35They're your future group.
00:09:36I mean, you are rebuilding Glow.
00:09:39What better place to choose your girls?
00:09:46I'm fine.
00:09:47I'll make a call.
00:09:52Can't wait to see how you pull it off.
00:09:59Come on.
00:10:00Come on.
00:10:02Mia?
00:10:04Sweetheart?
00:10:04I'm working.
00:10:05You're at the Carter place, right?
00:10:07Yes, but I need you to get me inside.
00:10:09I'm hosting something.
00:10:10Mia, I clean floors.
00:10:11That's it.
00:10:12Mia.
00:10:13They already paid for your tuition.
00:10:14They've done enough.
00:10:15I'm done being embarrassed.
00:10:17They have everything.
00:10:19One night won't even register.
00:10:23I'll see what I can do.
00:10:24Thank you, Mom.
00:10:42If she's building a fake glow, I'm not watching from the back row.
00:10:47All right.
00:10:48If you can't survive this open rehearsal, don't embarrass yourself at my house.
00:10:54Turn the noise into a melody when we're brave enough to hold.
00:11:01They said I rap like a robot, so call me rap-bop.
00:11:04But for me to rap like a computer must be in my jeans.
00:11:09I've been training since I was six.
00:11:12I've been freezing outside.
00:11:14I put my skin tight.
00:11:16My gut is inside.
00:11:18I look up at you.
00:11:21Back up at best.
00:11:28Nice spin.
00:11:29You don't belong in back up.
00:11:40To be fair, I'll still let you try out.
00:11:43Don't waste it.
00:11:45Hey, Hick.
00:11:47We all drink this to get stage ready.
00:11:49You want to see how the real world works?
00:11:51Here.
00:11:52Try some.
00:11:59What's this?
00:12:00I feel awful.
00:12:02Poops.
00:12:03I forgot.
00:12:04I accidentally put a little pepper spray to that.
00:12:07You all right?
00:12:18Oh, my God.
00:12:20Is she bleeding?
00:12:23Do you need a break?
00:12:24You know, most of us were raised in studios.
00:12:26You don't get to stroll in here acting like you didn't come straight out of a yard sale.
00:12:34Too bad I was actually going to give you a chance.
00:12:37But look at you.
00:12:38Can't even sing nor dance now.
00:12:40Try not to cry about it, okay?
00:12:43Looks like you're so scared of me.
00:12:45Went through all that trouble just to pull that stunt.
00:12:48Scared of trash like you?
00:12:50I just don't want to smell your broke-ass stench.
00:12:53Even if you're standing right under the spotlight, you still don't deserve it.
00:12:57And you do?
00:12:58Please.
00:12:58From where I'm standing, you're just a mediocre actress who studied rich girls by watching them through tinted glass.
00:13:12When the room goes silent and the whole world stares, every broken moment turns into a flare.
00:13:26Turn the noise into a melody.
00:13:30Turn the silence into gold.
00:13:33If they try to drown the music, sing it louder.
00:13:41Let it show.
00:13:45Start a smile in the corner of the room.
00:13:47Now the whole world turning when we boom.
00:13:49Every voice becomes a harmony.
00:13:52No more whispers, no more shame.
00:13:54When we're brave enough to hold, we don't follow.
00:13:57We take just the game.
00:13:59We are the fire rising from the cold.
00:14:03Writing our names and stories untold.
00:14:07Hear the echo, feel the thunder.
00:14:08We break the chain.
00:14:10Yeah, we break the chain.
00:14:12We don't just survive.
00:14:14Survive.
00:14:17Holy shit.
00:14:30Ava!
00:14:31Cute recovery.
00:14:33But auditions aren't about tricks.
00:14:35Neither is sabotage.
00:14:38Watch your mouth.
00:14:41What are you...
00:14:50Weren't you just telling me not to cry?
00:14:52Guess who's about to now.
00:14:54Are you out of your mind?
00:14:55Bitch, my face, it hurts.
00:14:58If you ever try me again, I'll make you look way worse than this.
00:15:06Wait, you rap?
00:15:08Sometimes, when I rap, I don't really stutter.
00:15:11Why?
00:15:12Guess my brain can't trip over rhythm.
00:15:14That's a superpower!
00:15:16You ever thought about the showcase?
00:15:20Wow.
00:15:21This place is basically a graveyard.
00:15:26No way.
00:15:27That bracelet is real.
00:15:29And there's only one.
00:15:33Funny.
00:15:34Some things don't belong where they end up.
00:15:36Don't touch me!
00:15:38Hey, give that back!
00:15:40Why so nervous?
00:15:42You steal it or something?
00:15:43Exactly!
00:15:44She's a total fraud.
00:15:45A thief.
00:15:46Someone needs to teach her a lesson.
00:15:48That was designed by my mom.
00:15:49She gave it to me!
00:15:51Is this bitch actually connected to Claire Carter?
00:15:54No way.
00:15:55Look at her.
00:15:56She's broke as hell.
00:15:57Definitely some knockoffs she scored online.
00:16:00Your mom?
00:16:01The glow bracelet is one of one.
00:16:04And I'm the only person who owns it.
00:16:06Ah!
00:16:10Get that bitch.
00:16:16I'll let everyone to see how shameless this bitch is.
00:16:26Students, please proceed to the auditorium for a special assembly celebrating a legacy contribution to the arts program.
00:16:34You can fool the students, but Principal Grant knows me.
00:16:37This ends at the assembly.
00:17:02That's not the Principal Grant?
00:17:03Before we begin, reminder, Talent Showcase sign-ups are closing soon.
00:17:09Today, we recognize a family whose legacy continues to support music at this school.
00:17:15Now please join me in welcoming the Carter family's daughter.
00:17:20Sit.
00:17:20Don't make this weird.
00:17:33That's the glow bracelet, so she must be the Carter girl.
00:17:37Wow.
00:17:39This is so special.
00:17:43As Claire Carter's daughter, being here just feels really full circle, and this school has always supported art, and artists,
00:17:52and artistic people.
00:17:55And I just think that's really beautiful.
00:17:58Thank you, Ms. Carter.
00:18:01That was very heartfelt.
00:18:05Where's Principal Grant?
00:18:09Unfortunately, Principal Grant won't be joining us today.
00:18:12He was hit by a golf cart during a campus tour this morning.
00:18:16He's stable, but will be out for the rest of the semester.
00:18:22That's awful.
00:18:23Please let him know.
00:18:24My mom and I will definitely visit him.
00:18:26We always make time for people who support the arts.
00:18:30Sing for us!
00:18:34Excuse me?
00:18:35Everyone says Claire Carter didn't just sing.
00:18:37She shifted the room.
00:18:39If you're her daughter, you should have inherited that.
00:18:42This isn't a performance.
00:18:44Come on!
00:18:45Give your mommy's fans something.
00:18:47Glow's biggest hit.
00:18:48Sing the bridge.
00:18:49The hardest part.
00:18:52Yeah!
00:18:53Sing it!
00:18:54Let's see the magic.
00:18:56I don't think this is appropriate.
00:18:59Or you're not a Carter at all.
00:19:03Enough!
00:19:04Sit down and apologize to Ms. Carter right now, or I'll have you expelled before you make it out that
00:19:10door.
00:19:12This was insane.
00:19:13She was trying to erase me, take my place, get me thrown out.
00:19:16I had to stop her.
00:19:19Tina, if you can't do it...
00:19:31Then let me.
00:19:36Because she's not Ms. Carter.
00:19:42I'm the one who was supposed to be standing here.
00:19:57When I was young.
00:20:05When I was young.
00:20:07When I was young.
00:20:08He tried to quiet my voice.
00:20:13They tried to quiet my voice.
00:20:24Holy, what's happening?
00:20:29Seriously?
00:20:40Everybody out! Move! Now!
00:20:54That was you on the board, right?
00:20:56Depends. You're here to thank me or blame me?
00:20:58Thanks.
00:21:00The near-public humiliation could have been worse.
00:21:06You're Ava, right?
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:09Ava Carr.
00:21:10Just Ava.
00:21:11Ethan Reyes.
00:21:13Music Club.
00:21:15Vintage Case.
00:21:16My dad's.
00:21:17He taught me on it.
00:21:18And for the record, that voice you've got?
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:21That's not normal.
00:21:23Good.
00:21:23Not normal?
00:21:24Scary good.
00:21:26Good.
00:21:27It didn't really matter.
00:21:28I still didn't get to finish.
00:21:39Finish it at the talent showcase, then.
00:21:41Come on, you had a moment in there.
00:21:43Whatever that was, it felt like magic.
00:21:46You don't get to walk away from that.
00:21:50You say that like it's easy.
00:21:52It's not.
00:21:53You need people who can keep up.
00:21:55You thinking solo?
00:21:56I was thinking team.
00:21:58Now I'm thinking that might have been optimistic.
00:22:01Teams are chaos.
00:22:02That's kind of the point.
00:22:03When it works, it hits harder than anything you can do alone.
00:22:08Lexi!
00:22:10All right.
00:22:11Music Club room's open after school.
00:22:13In case you decide optimism isn't dead yet.
00:22:16Noted.
00:22:23I saw you and Ethan.
00:22:26You know he won the talent show show showcase last year, right?
00:22:29That makes sense.
00:22:31Speaking of that, you were amazing in there.
00:22:33I should have had your butt back.
00:22:35Relax, Lexi.
00:22:36Real rappers don't just perform on demand.
00:22:50I'm here.
00:22:58Homework done.
00:22:59Essay done.
00:23:00Sing it.
00:23:01Just beat, beat, beat.
00:23:02Fun.
00:23:03Fun.
00:23:04Who do you think you are, Jay-Z?
00:23:06I was just...
00:23:07See?
00:23:08You can't even finish one sentence?
00:23:10And you want to be on a stage?
00:23:14Mrs. Chan?
00:23:16Oh.
00:23:16Hi.
00:23:17Sorry.
00:23:18She just lives in a fantasy.
00:23:23Actually, she's really good.
00:23:26Think about the showcase, Lexi.
00:23:28I'm serious.
00:23:39You need people who can keep up.
00:23:55You need people who can keep up.
00:23:59First off, we want to thank Mia Carter for generously offering her home for today's preliminary round.
00:24:18All right.
00:24:19Final round.
00:24:20Competition's tight today, so we're switching formats.
00:24:24Head to head.
00:24:26Random draw.
00:24:27Same song.
00:24:28Same track.
00:24:29No do-over.
00:24:29Whoever owns the room advances first.
00:24:33First matchup.
00:24:34Ava!
00:24:40And...
00:24:41Mia Carter!
00:24:50Wow.
00:24:52That's poetic, isn't it?
00:25:10A perfect grid.
00:25:11Each strap, a calculated line.
00:25:14The gears collide.
00:25:15Making the glass a flash and shine.
00:25:17I am the blueprint of the standard.
00:25:19Okay, she's actually good.
00:25:21Ava!
00:25:21Ava is new, catching every drop of fire.
00:25:25But dynamic waves can't be confined in fragile glass.
00:25:28A silent tremor waiting for the storm to pass.
00:25:31No artificial icon in the cow.
00:25:34No artificial icon in the sky.
00:25:34From the deepest start, the hidden rivers start to flow.
00:25:38I climb the peak, inherited the throne.
00:25:42The concrete towers fall when winds are blown.
00:25:45I wave the rhythm spinning out of control.
00:25:49I strip the noise and repossess the soul.
00:25:52Oh, to the root of the wild, I am breaking on the track.
00:26:14First one moving on, Ava.
00:26:20What the hell?
00:26:25Yes!
00:26:34You're running the bridge.
00:26:39It was good.
00:26:42Good?
00:26:51What about your choreography for me?
00:26:53You call that good too?
00:26:55That spin you gave me slowed the tempo.
00:26:57It was...
00:26:58It was timed with the...
00:27:01Don't!
00:27:01Explain failure to me.
00:27:03You had one job.
00:27:04Guess I should have remembered.
00:27:06Backup dancers.
00:27:07Stay back up for a reason.
00:27:11That's funny.
00:27:12Because from where I was standing, her choreography was the best part of your set.
00:27:17You won one round.
00:27:20Don't start believing your own hate.
00:27:22Then maybe don't start blaming everyone else.
00:27:36Congratulations to everyone advancing.
00:27:39Next round changes format.
00:27:41No more solo slots.
00:27:43You'll be competing in teams.
00:27:45Build wisely.
00:27:47Build wisely.
00:27:49Build wisely.
00:27:50Build wisely.
00:27:52Build wisely.
00:27:53Build wisely.
00:27:55Mia, baby, you made it!
00:27:58What are you doing?
00:27:59I just wanted to say...
00:28:02Not here.
00:28:04I'm proud of you.
00:28:09Stop.
00:28:10Don't talk to me like this in public.
00:28:12You're embarrassing me.
00:28:20Shh.
00:28:26Donna!
00:28:35Donna!
00:28:43Brooke.
00:28:45If this is about earlier, save it.
00:28:47I'm not in the mood to be inspirational.
00:28:50It's not.
00:28:51Your musicality is better than Mia's timing deserves.
00:28:54And your transitions?
00:28:56Clean.
00:28:58You cover her sloppier accounts without making it obvious.
00:29:02You notice that?
00:29:03Hard not to notice.
00:29:09I think this is yours.
00:29:12Where did you...
00:29:14Mia dropped it when she changed.
00:29:15I didn't exactly feel like giving it back to her.
00:29:18Don't make this a thing.
00:29:20Too late.
00:29:20It kind of already is.
00:29:21love it.
00:29:23I didn't.
00:29:24Love it.
00:29:25Love it.
00:29:29Hey.

00:35:37My story is where the light gets in on our apologies
00:35:41Long portion, this is me, I'm felt that I'm sad
00:35:52Is that part of the show?
00:36:04I think that was the first time I ever freestyled on an actual stage
00:36:07And I honestly can't believe if I just pulled that off
00:36:11Lexi, you just said that without stuttering
00:36:13Look at that, stage magic
00:36:24Guess we're a group now
00:36:26Yeah, a weird one
00:36:28The best kind
00:36:29Like Blackpin
00:36:30Even better
00:36:32Like Glow
00:36:41This isn't over
00:36:50Yo, what the hell?
00:36:53You gotta see this
00:36:54Ava tries way too hard
00:36:55Like, relax
00:36:57You're not a tortured artist
00:36:59And Lexi, please
00:37:01Writing sad little lyrics doesn't make you deep
00:37:03She barely talks
00:37:05What you gonna do?
00:37:06Whisper people to death?
00:37:09Brooke said what we were all thinking
00:37:11Not Lexi catching strings
00:37:12And now she's on Ava's team
00:37:13Switch up is crazy
00:37:14Wait, so she crazy how fast people switch sides?
00:37:29Let's see how loyal you feel now
00:37:40That's her
00:37:40No, that's Brooke
00:37:44Whole thing's on my feed
00:38:01Ava
00:38:03Oh
00:38:09Okay
00:38:10Let's just run it once
00:38:18Too loud in my
00:38:19My, my
00:38:21My bad
00:38:23From the top
00:38:23I've got this
00:38:24Seriously?
00:38:26I said I've got it
00:38:28Do you?
00:38:30Wow
00:38:30That's rich coming from you
00:38:32At least I'm not freezing in the middle of rehearsal
00:38:35At least I'm not talking trash behind my own team's back
00:38:39You think I don't know how bad that looked?
00:38:43It looked honest
00:38:44Hey, stop!
00:38:47You want honest?
00:38:48Fine
00:38:49I said that way before I ever joined you guys
00:38:53And now what?
00:38:54I'm supposed to clap because you evolved?
00:38:56God, you make everything sound like a trauma podcast
00:39:05Are you kidding me right now?
00:39:08Are you kidding me right now?
00:39:20Oh my god
00:39:25That was limited attention
00:39:27Prada!
00:39:28Brooke, stop!
00:39:29You're making this worse!
00:39:35Me?
00:39:37That's not what I meant
00:39:38Say it again
00:39:40You think I haven't spent all day
00:39:42Being punished for who I used to be?
00:39:45Brooke, no
00:39:46You know what?
00:39:47Forget it
00:39:48At least Mia was honest about hating me
00:39:51Brooke, wait!
00:40:06Rough day?
00:40:09Internet loves a villain
00:40:12Did you post it?
00:40:16Does it matter?
00:40:17You were miserable with them anyway
00:40:22Come back
00:40:37Lyrics
00:40:38Lyrics don't get you into college
00:40:42Your grades dropped
00:40:44And now you're on the internet
00:40:47It's not like that
00:40:49Maybe it's time you stop pretending you're some kind of artist
00:40:59Fake friends
00:41:01Switch up queen
00:41:02Ava's glow better
00:41:03Fake
00:41:03Fake
00:41:04Fake
00:41:04Fake
00:41:05Fake
00:41:06Fake
00:41:06No
00:41:07Fake
00:41:07Yes.
00:41:41I don't know.
00:42:10I don't know.
00:42:41Somewhere in the middle, the harmony left me.
00:43:15Somewhere in the middle, the harmony left me.
00:43:41Somewhere in the middle, the harmony right me.
00:43:51You look like someone just cancelled Christmas.
00:43:54Not Christmas. Just my life.
00:44:00That sounded serious. Do I need to bring snacks for this breakdown?
00:44:09You know something funny?
00:44:12What?
00:44:14Every band I liked growing up broke up.
00:44:17Very comforting.
00:44:18The good ones? They broke up like six times.
00:44:23Turns out drama is part of the brand.
00:44:27We didn't even make it to a single.
00:44:29Maybe the point wasn't the group.
00:44:31Maybe the point was you.
00:44:39That's very inspirational.
00:44:40I'm serious.
00:45:07I'm serious.
00:45:10There was a plot that would be.
00:45:10We had a picture.
00:45:35That's the one that would be.
00:45:46I think you just invented a new genre.
00:45:49It's called Bad Decisions in B-minor.
00:45:52It's called Bad Decisions in B-minor.
00:45:54I'm gonna be your hero.
00:45:56I'm gonna be your hero.
00:45:57I'm gonna be your hero.
00:46:00So baby, don't stress.
00:46:03I'll be your princess.
00:46:06Charming.
00:46:10Any time.
00:46:43Come on, Ethan.
00:46:44We've gotta go.
00:46:59Text me when you can't stop replaying that Spider-Man kiss in your head.
00:47:03Too late.
00:47:16Well, do you have any idea what time it is?
00:47:25Well, do you have any idea what time it is?
00:47:29Mom.
00:47:32Because I need to know how long you've been smiling like that.
00:47:36You're impossible.
00:47:37And yet, tragically, always right.
00:47:42I'm very happy to see that smile back.
00:47:44You've been carrying your shoulders around your ears all week.
00:47:47So I'm guessing the boy is not the crisis.
00:47:50Is it the group?
00:47:52That's specific, huh?
00:47:55Ava, I know your face.
00:47:59Mom, I messed it up.
00:48:02Oh, baby.
00:48:06And that's the part where everything exploded.
00:48:09Honey, people don't trust you because you're perfect.
00:48:12They trust you because you tell them the truth before the world does it for you.
00:48:17Come on.
00:48:19What?
00:48:20Let's play half and half.
00:48:22Aw.
00:48:23Yeez.
00:48:25Come on.
00:48:26Come on.
00:48:26One round.
00:48:31Mom.
00:48:33Mom.
00:48:41When the world gets loud, I turn the music louder.
00:48:48If the lights go out, we sing in the dark.
00:48:57If they try to silence you, I'll tell the truth first.
00:49:09There she is.
00:49:10Mom.
00:49:12I think I know what to do.
00:49:14Can't wait to see the next generation of glow.
00:49:16Shh.
00:49:18Shh.
00:49:21Shh.
00:49:28Shh.
00:49:29Shh.
00:49:29It's got this worse.
00:49:32Shh.
00:49:34Can I help you, sweetheart?
00:49:36Shh.
00:49:40Shh.
00:49:44Shh.
00:49:45Shh.
00:49:46no ma'am I mean yes ma'am I mean hi we we were looking for not this guys you
00:49:56made it come in before one of you faints on my front steps I should have
00:50:05told you I I didn't because once people hear Claire Carter they stop hearing
00:50:11anything else and because if I'd exposed me earlier Donna would have been
00:50:18destroyed with her Donna please miss Carter don't say anything yet you've
00:50:29always been so good to me but she literally stole my name I know but I'm
00:50:34in the middle of a custody fight if this blows up now her abusive father will
00:50:39drag my girl into court and tear me apart with it so you want me to help her
00:50:44keep lying no just give me a little time please okay that's annoyingly decent of
00:50:55you I know I should have talked to you yeah you should have but I should have
00:51:03talked first so just to be clear you're the actual Claire Carter daughter and Mia
00:51:07is your housekeeper's kid oh my god I've been taking orders from that little
00:51:13bitch this whole time no offense to Donna but that girl wearing last season's
00:51:19Chanel like it's front row at Paris fashion word that should have been our
00:51:23first clue so what do we do now we beat her first and then we make sure she
00:51:32can't lie her way out of it I promised Donna some time but Mia she's perfectly
00:51:36capable of exposing herself actually I have an idea
00:51:50welcome to the finals tonight the best act
00:52:02just remember the spin two counts drop the mic spin two counts hit the floor roll up I'll pass it
00:52:13back to you

00:53:11oh
00:53:11I
00:53:11I rule the show, nowhere to go
00:53:14Still chasing shadows where my life once shone
00:53:17Your feeble dreams we'll never know
00:53:21I stand alone upon the throne
00:53:25Every victory is mine
00:53:27Bro, she's not even singing.
00:53:28Is that... playback?
00:53:36Get off the stage!
00:53:38It's 2026, we are not doing the Ashley Simpson thing again!
00:53:48And that, is what we call live music.
00:53:57Mia's high notes, total disaster.
00:54:01So to guarantee the finals, she bought insurance.
00:54:07Whenever the song hits the high part, she switches to the track.
00:54:09All she has to do, is lip-sync.
00:54:16So, allow me to introduce...
00:54:19Our special guest.
00:54:25Where is he?
00:54:26Okay, well, that was exciting.
00:54:29I especially love the part where the microphone did most of the singing.
00:54:32Let's reset the stage a little.
00:54:34Our final act tonight...
00:54:36Whoa!
00:54:36Let's go!
00:55:01What?
00:55:02What are you doing, Mia Carter?
00:55:13Claire?
00:55:13Claire?
00:55:18You didn't notice the console lock?
00:55:25Hey, I think we can all agree tonight has already been very dramatic.
00:55:30So let's fix that.
00:55:32Here's some real music.
00:55:39You know what's funny?
00:55:41You remind me a lot of myself at your age.
00:55:44But my own daughter, Ava?
00:55:47She has done everything she can not to end up like me.
00:55:50Maybe she's smarter than both of us.
00:55:54You could have been anything.
00:55:56Why settle for fake?
00:55:57No...
00:55:59,
00:56:00.
00:57:01Turn the noise into a melody
00:57:04Turn the silence into gold
00:57:07Every voice becomes a harmony
00:57:10When we're brave enough to hold
00:57:13Every step becomes a story
00:57:16Every spark begins to glow
00:57:17If they try to drown the music
00:57:19Sing it louder, let it show
00:57:24Started small in the corner of the room
00:57:28Now the whole world turning when we boom
00:57:29Now it's from Tiana, it's your boy, it's your time
00:57:31I'm not hiding, now it's my time
00:57:35Who says we can?
00:57:37Listen to the rhythm
00:57:38No more whispers, no more shame
00:57:39We don't follow, we change the game
00:57:41Blow in the dark, watch it grow
00:57:43Three hearts beating still the show
00:57:47We are the light through the stormy weather
00:57:51We are the stars that we found together
00:57:54Yeah, we ignite, turn night into day
00:57:57Sing it louder, we're here to stay
00:58:08Hey!
00:58:13Hey!
00:58:16Hey!
00:58:18Hey!
00:58:30When I was young
00:58:32They're trying to quiet my voice
00:58:38When I was young
00:58:40They're trying to quiet my voice
00:58:44But every girl who sings tonight
00:58:49Gets to make that choice
00:58:52Turn the noise into a melody
00:58:56Turn the silence into gold
00:59:01Every hope
00:59:03When I'm brave enough to hold
00:59:08Every step becomes a story
00:59:11Every spark begins to glow
00:59:14Every hope becomes a light
00:59:18When we're brave enough to hold
00:59:21Every step becomes a story
00:59:25Every spark begins to glow
00:59:28If they try to drown the music
00:59:32Sing it louder!
00:59:35Let it shine!

01:00:29Well, hello, Ava Carter.
01:00:37You know now?
01:00:40Please.
01:00:41I knew way before the rest of the school caught up.
01:00:44How?
01:00:45The first time you sang in the rehearsal room, even the drum kit started vibrating.
01:00:50I figured either the building was haunted or Claire Kerper's daughter had a voice that
01:00:54bends the room.
01:00:55That line ever worked before?
01:00:57You tell me.
01:00:59So now what?
01:01:00Now?
01:01:01Now I think I stopped pretending I came out here to congratulate you.
01:01:05Good.
01:01:14This glow's not done with you yet.
01:01:17Maybe not.
01:01:18Come on.
01:01:19If you're gonna watch me become a legend, you should probably do it up close.
01:01:22Lead the way, Ava Carter.
01:01:29Did you see the finals last night?
01:01:31Are you kidding?
01:01:32It's literally everywhere.
01:01:33Guys, check this out.
01:01:36Who is Lexi Chan?
01:01:38Look, Ava!
01:01:38Claire Carter and her daughter on the scene.
01:01:40Glow better drop this song now.
01:01:42Glow already signed with a record label?
01:01:44What?
01:01:44No way!
01:01:45No way!
01:01:45No way!
01:01:46Glow is just getting started.
01:01:54People used to talk about my mom's moment like it was some kind of myth.
01:01:58For the longest time, I thought I had to wait for mine.
01:02:03But turns out, you don't wait for a moment.
01:02:14You make one.
01:02:22And sometimes, you don't make it alone.
