00:00:05Wait, what?
00:00:09Crap.
00:00:12Junior year.
00:00:14New school.
00:00:16And the place where glow started.
00:00:46My mom had her moment.
00:00:50And I've been waiting for mine.
00:00:54Good morning, Miss Carter.
00:00:56These are today's outfit options.
00:00:59Your mother's Paris showcase jacket.
00:01:01The one Vogue called the rebirth of glow.
00:01:04And the silver cuff from her final tour.
00:01:06It was everywhere last year.
00:01:07Plus the boots from the reunion concert.
00:01:09They still trend online.
00:01:10Thanks.
00:01:11But today, I'm doing it my way.
00:01:27First impressions are overrated anyway.
00:01:35You're serious.
00:01:36Dead serious.
00:01:37You're going alone?
00:01:38Yeah.
00:01:39No driver?
00:01:40No security?
00:01:42That's the whole point.
00:01:44I don't want anyone knowing who my mom is.
00:01:46Or rolling their eyes and going,
00:01:48Oh, great.
00:01:49Another 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.
00:02:03This 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.
00:02:16Keep your distance.
00:02:18But don't lose her.
00:02:19Sun's up.
00:02:20It's a little after twelve.
00:02:23Make breakfast for myself.
00:02:26Need the word for someone else.
00:02:29On this perfect day.
00:02:33Nothing stands in 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.
00:02:49Claire 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?
00:03:06What's that stench this early in the morning?
00:03:08So gross.
00:03:09Found it.
00:03:10Turns 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.
00:03:28Do you always talk like that?
00:03:30Or only when you feel insecure?
00:03:32Excuse me?
00:03:35Do you dare talk back?
00:03:37Someone needs to teach this pest a proper lesson.
00:03:47Oops.
00:03:48Was that important?
00:04:01Thrust store losers shouldn't carry art.
00:04:05People 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.
00:04:43Bitch.
00:04:52Relax.
00:04:53It's hydration.
00:04:56Careful, Tiffany.
00:04:58Original thoughts might melt in the rain.
00:05:03Relax, Thrift Queen.
00:05:04This will help wash off that stench for everyone's sake.
00:05:15Thanks.
00:05:16It's no, nothing.
00:05:18They're salvageable.
00:05:20Maybe sit this one out, Lexi.
00:05:22Public speaking isn't your brand.
00:05:30Oh, my God.
00:05:32Oh, my God.
00:05:33Oh, my God.
00:05:45That's her!
00:05:47Westridge High, ready for your new flow, leader?
00:06:05You're, you're her, right?
00:06:08I'm Brooke.
00:06:09This is Tiffany.
00:06:10We've been waiting for the Carter girl forever.
00:06:13I maxed out every part 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.
00:06:42Wow.
00:06:43Bold choice.
00:06:45Is this off-duty janitor chic?
00:06:51The bell saved your ass, bitch.
00:06:54I'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.
00:07:06Listen.
00:07:08Oh, and if you're standing next to me, act like it.
00:07:18Sure.
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.
00:07:32Let's see how long you can sing someone else's song.
00:07:41Hey.
00:07:42Quick announcement.
00:07:45I'm Mia Carter.
00:07:46Yes, that Carter.
00:07:49Glow literally dominated every award show.
00:07:52Claire 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.
00:08:03So I'm rebooting Glow.
00:08:09Talent showcase is coming.
00:08:11And 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.
00:08:22What's her problem?
00:08:23People like that, rats in the gutter, seeing someone this dazzling,
00:08:26they're probably fooming at the mouth with jealousy.
00:08:28It's fine.
00:08:29Some 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.
00:08:40Look at Claire Carter's daughter.
00:08:42So gracious, so charismatic.
00:08:44Oh, really?
00:08:45I'm curious.
00:08:46How 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.
00:08:58You'll scare them away with your filth.
00:08:59Yeah, this isn't a charity open mic for beggars.
00:09:04I heard the Carter Mansion has a private music room.
00:09:07Custom piano.
00:09:09Glow lyrics carved into the lid.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:13Totally.
00:09:14Cool.
00:09:15Why don't we hold the auditions there?
00:09:19That would be iconic!
00:09:22The 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.
00:09:37I mean, you are rebuilding Glow.
00:09:39What better place to choose your girls?
00:09:46Fine.
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?
00:10:05I'm working.
00:10:06You're at the Carter place, right?
00:10:07Yes, but...
00:10:08I need you to get me inside.
00:10:09I'm hosting something.
00:10:10Mia, I clean floors.
00:10:12That's it.
00:10:12Mia.
00:10:13They already paid for your tuition.
00:10:15They've done enough.
00:10:16I'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.
00:10:25Thank 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.
00:10:58When we're brave enough to hold.
00:11:01They said I rap like a robot, so call me Rappop.
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.
00:11:21Back up at best.
00:11:28Nice spin.
00:11:29You don't belong in backup.
00:11:32Back up.
00:11:33Back up.
00:11:35Back up.
00:11:40To be fair, I'll still let you try out.
00:11:44Don't waste it.
00:11:46Hey, 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.
00:12:00What's this?
00:12:01I 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.
00:12:27You 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.
00:12:46Went 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.
00:12:59From where I'm standing, you're just a mediocre actress who studied rich girls by watching them
00:13:04in the tinted glass.
00:13:13When the room goes silent
00:13:15And the whole world stares
00:13:19Every broken moment
00:13:22Turns 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
00:13:39Sing it louder
00:13:41Let it show
00:13:45Got 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
00:13:56We don't follow
00:13:57We take the game
00:13:59We are the fire
00:14:01Rising from the cold
00:14:03Writing our names and stories untold
00:14:07Hear the echo, feel the thunder
00:14:09We break the chains
00:14:10Yeah, we break the chains
00:14:12We don't just survive
00:14:17Holy shit
00:14:30Ava!
00:14:31Cute recovery
00:14:32But 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
00:14:57If you ever try me again
00:15:00I'll make you look way worse than this
00:15:06Wait, you rap?
00:15:08Sometimes, when I rap
00:15:10I don't really stutter
00:15:11Why?
00:15:12Guess my brain can't trip over rhythm
00:15:14That's a superpower
00:15:15You 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?
00:15:44Exactly
00:15:44She's a total fraud
00:15:46A 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?
00:15:55No way
00:15:55Look at her
00:15:56She's broke as hell
00:15:57Definitely some knockoff she scored online
00:15:59Your mom?
00:16:01The glow bracelet is one of one
00:16:03And I'm the only person who owns it
00:16:10Get that bitch
00:16:17I'll let everyone to see how shameless this bitch is
00:16:27Students, please proceed to the auditorium
00:16:30For a special assembly celebrating a legacy contribution to the arts program
00:16:34You can fool the students
00:16:35But Principal Grant knows me
00:16:37This ends at the assembly
00:17:02That's not the Principal Grant?
00:17:04Before we begin
00:17:05Reminder
00:17:06Talent showcase sign-ups are closing soon
00:17:08Today
00:17:09We 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
00:17:34So she must be the Carter girl
00:17:36Wow
00:17:37Thank you
00:17:39This is so special
00:17:43As Claire Carter's daughter
00:17:45Being here just feels really full circle
00:17:48And this school has always supported art
00:17:51And artists
00:17:52And
00:17:54Artistic people
00:17:55And I just think that's really beautiful
00:17:58Thank you
00:17:59Miss Carter
00:18:01That was
00:18:01Very heartfelt
00:18:03Very heartfelt
00:18:05Where's Principal Grant?
00:18:10Unfortunately, Principal Grant won't be joining us today
00:18:12He was hit by a golf cart during a campus tour this morning
00:18:17He's stable, but will be out for the rest of the semester
00:18:22That's awful
00:18:23That's awful
00:18:24Please let him know my mom and I will definitely visit him
00:18:26We always make time for people who support the arts
00:18:31Sing 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
00:18:43Come 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
00:18:57I don't think this is appropriate
00:19:00Or you're not a Carter at all
00:19:03Enough!
00:19:05Sit down and apologize to Miss Carter right now
00:19:08Or I'll have you expelled before you make it out that door
00:19:12This was insane
00:19:13She was trying to erase me
00:19:15Take my place
00:19:15Get me thrown out
00:19:16I had to stop her
00:19:19Tina
00:19:19If you can't do it
00:19:31Then let me
00:19:36Because she's not Miss 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
00:20:08They tried to quiet my voice
00:20:13They tried to quiet my voice
00:20:24Wait, what's happening?
00:20:29Seriously?
00:20:40Everybody out!
00:20:41Move!
00:20:42Now!
00:20:54That was you on the board, right?
00:20:56Depends
00:20:57You're here to thank me or blame me?
00:20:59Thanks
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, that's not normal
00:21:22Good, not normal?
00:21:24Scary good
00:21:26Didn't really matter
00:21:27I still didn't get to finish
00:21:39Finish it at the talent showcase then
00:21:42Come on, come on
00:21:42Come on, you had a moment in there
00:21:43Whatever that was
00:21:45It 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?
00:21:57I was thinking team
00:21:59Now I'm thinking that might have been optimistic
00:22:00Teams are chaos
00:22:02That's kind of the point
00:22:03When it works, it hits harder than anything you can do alone
00:22:06Lexi
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 showcase last year, right?
00:22:29That makes sense
00:22:30Speaking of that, you were amazing in there
00:22:33I should have had your bub back
00:22:35Relax, Lexi
00:22:36Real rappers don't just perform on demand
00:22:50I'm here
00:22:54Lexi
00:22:58Homework done
00:22:59Essay done
00:23:00Sing it
00:23:01Just beat, beat, beat
00:23:02Fun
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
00:23:15Oh
00:23:16Hi
00:23:17Sorry
00:23:18She just lives in a fantasy
00:23:22Actually
00:23:24She's really good
00:23:26Think about the showcase, Lexi
00:23:28I'm serious
00:23:39You need people who can keep up
00:23:59First off, we want to thank Mia Carter for generously offering her home for today's preliminary round
00:24:18All right, final round
00:24:20Competition's tight today
00:24:22So we're switching formats
00:24:25Head to head
00:24:26Head to head
00:24:26Random draw
00:24:27Same song, same track, no do-over
00:24:30Whoever owns the room advances
00:24:31First
00:24:34First matchup
00:24:36Ava
00:24:39And
00:24:41Mia Carter
00:24:42Mia Carter
00:24:51Wow
00:24:51That's poetic, isn't it?
00:24:55Wow
00:25:19That's poetic, isn't it?
00:25:21A flawless meal
00:25:22Catching every drop of fire
00:25:24But dynamic ways can't be confining fragile glass
00:25:28A silent tremor waiting for the storm to pass
00:25:32No artificial, I can then make how I grow
00:25:34From the deepest dark, the hidden rivers start to flow
00:25:38I climb the peak, inherited the throne
00:25:42But concrete towers fall and winds are blown
00:25:45I weave the rhythm spinning out of control
00:25:48I strip the noise and repossess the soul
00:25:53To the root of the wild
00:25:58I am breaking of the track
00:26:14First one moving on
00:26:16Ava
00:26:20What the hell?
00:26:26Yes
00:26:35You'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?
00:26:54That 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
00:27:14Her choreography was the best part of your set
00:27:17You won one round
00:27:20Don't start believing your own ape
00:27:22Then maybe don't start blaming everyone else
00:27:37Congratulations 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
00:27:55Mia
00:27:56Baby
00:27:57Baby
00:27:57You made it
00:27:58What are you doing?
00:28:00I 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
00:28:21Don't talk to me like this in public
00:28:33Don't talk to me like this in public
00:28:35Don't talk to me like this in public
00:28:36Don't talk to me like this in public
00:28:36Don't talk to me like this in public
00:28:36Don't talk to me like this in public
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.
00:29:16I didn't exactly feel like giving it back to her.
00:29:18Don't make this a thing.
00:29:20Too late.
00:29:21It kind of already is.
00:29:30Hey.
00:29:31Look who survived Prealers.
00:29:34Barely.
00:29:37You know, that means you're officially not allowed to hide in the back.
00:29:39anymore, right?
00:29:40Pretty sure I still can.
00:29:43Here.
00:29:49What's this for?
00:29:50Lyrics.
00:29:51Or complaints.
00:29:53Same thing, honestly.
00:29:55That's...
00:29:56a lot.
00:29:57Good.
00:29:58Start somewhere.
00:29:59It doesn't have to be pretty.
00:30:01It doesn't have to be pretty.
00:30:16too loud, too much, not enough.
00:30:30Too loud, too much, not enough.
00:30:36Out in a crowd.
00:30:37Don't write that, don't wear that, don't dream that big.
00:30:39Keep your head down, girls ain't making a thing.
00:30:42Rap?
00:30:43Rap for what?
00:30:45Every word I swallow turns electric in my ribs.
00:30:48Every time I shut down, something sharper still lives.
00:30:50You call it rude, I call it breath.
00:30:51You call it fantasy, I call it what's less.
00:30:54They handed me scripts, but I'm burning the lines.
00:30:56I'm done reading signals and following signs.
00:30:57I'm stepping out from the place where I forth, I'm on a rhythm.
00:30:59Say it raw, say it raw.
00:31:01Say it anyway.
00:31:17She's the one.
00:31:22No more barely survive, no more keeping it low.
00:31:25I've got the momentum, just watch how I go.
00:31:27This isn't a whisper, this isn't a win.
00:31:29I'm filling the room till it's over the brim.
00:31:34I'm hot, 24-7.
00:31:36I slip in my Louis Vuitton, so I wake up sexy.
00:31:40My martini's 31, and no need to test me.
00:31:44All my worst behavior, but at least I'm with my best.
00:31:48I'm the baddest.
00:31:49She spelled anxiety wrong.
00:31:50Yeah, because I was literally having it.
00:31:52I'm a good, 24-7.
00:31:5524-7.
00:32:07If you can't keep up, leave.
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:10The breaker, kill the speakers.
00:32:12So the bass runs deep beneath us.
00:32:14Try to do me, try to drown out what's the dark.
00:32:16Just rip a shade around us.
00:32:18Life's the best.
00:32:19High-o-themed sound complete.
00:32:20Fuck-o-themed.
00:32:21You could put the plug tonight.
00:32:23I-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.
00:32:25I've been quiet, I've been patient.
00:32:26I've been holding my tongue.
00:32:27But the silence got heavy and the quiet got done.
00:32:29You could dim the light.
00:32:29You could break the noise.
00:32:30But you can't kill the voice.
00:32:31It's been fighting all along.
00:32:32But I don't know where this killed a lie.
00:32:34We'd just be quiet, not be right.
00:32:36Just grossing, not afraid.
00:32:38You call it chaos, call it fate.
00:32:40I'm a both of you.
00:32:41Try not to look like stage decor.
00:32:45You dance fine.
00:32:46But that's all it is.
00:32:48You practice looking talented.
00:32:49I actually am.
00:32:51So when you miss a count, don't dress it up as choreography.
00:32:54It's just you being replaceable.
00:32:56You know what?
00:32:57I'm not your punching bag.
00:32:59I'm done.
00:33:03Excuse me?
00:33:04Without me, you're nothing.
00:33:06Oh, sweetheart.
00:33:07I'm a lot of fans.
00:33:09None of them require you to punch.
00:33:14Where are you going?
00:33:21I'm joining Ava's team.
00:33:23And I never miss a count.
00:33:25I'm holding down.
00:33:27I'm not working.
00:33:29I'm open.
00:33:30I'm not scared to be seeing everything.
00:33:32You call it chaos, call it fate.
00:33:34You can't translate.
00:33:36Every word I swear to the electric in my wrist.
00:33:38Every time I shut down, something's sharp.
00:33:40But still live.
00:33:41You call it rude.
00:33:44You call it fantasy.
00:33:46I call it what you love.
00:33:50I say much, but I feel everything.
00:33:54The fire inside me ain't as faint as it seems.
00:33:58You think I'm weak, cause I don't follow my own out loud.
00:34:06What the?
00:34:11Must be me again.
00:34:26You little bitch.
00:34:28I love you.
00:34:31Go, go, go.
00:34:34Go, go, go.
00:35:02Seriously?
00:35:33I'm not broken, I'm open every crackin'
00:35:37My story is where the light gets in on our apologies
00:35:41No caution, this is me, I'm felt it unshared
00:35:47Say you're wrong, say you're wrong
00:35:49Let the broken voices roar
00:35:51If the dark comes crashing and we'll turn the side
00:35:53Is that part of the show?!
00:36:04I think that was the first time I ever freestyled on an actual stage
00:36:08And I honestly can't believe if I just pulled that off
00:36:11Lexi, you just said that without stuttering
00:36:14Look 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 Black Pin
00:36:31Even better
00:36:32Like Glow
00:36:42This isn't over
00:36:51Yo, what the hell?
00:36:53You gotta see this!
00:36:54Eva tries way too hard
00:36:56Like, 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
00:37:04She barely talks
00:37:05What you gonna do?
00:37:07Whisper 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 Eva's team
00:37:13Switch up is crazy
00:37:14Wait, so she crazy how fast people switch sides?
00:37:30Let's see how loyal you feel now
00:37:40That's her
00:37:40No, that's Brooke
00:37:44Pull things on my feed
00:38:01Ava?
00:38:04Oh
00:38:10Okay, let's just run at once
00:38:12Okay, let's just run at once
00:38:18Too loud in my...
00:38:20My...
00:38:21My...
00:38:22My bad
00:38:23From the top
00:38:24I've got this
00:38:25Seriously?
00:38:26I said I've got it
00:38:28Do you?
00:38:30Wow
00:38:31That's rich coming from you
00:38:33At 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!
00:38:45Stop!
00:38:47You want honest?
00:38:49Fine!
00:38:50I said that way before I ever joined you guys
00:38:53And now what?
00:38:54I'm supposed to clap because you evolved?
00:38:57God, you make everything sound like a trauma podcast
00:39:01No!
00:39:03No!
00:39:04No!
00:39:05No!
00:39:05No!
00:39:05No!
00:39:06Are you kidding me right now?
00:39:08No!
00:39:12No!
00:39:16No!
00:39:18No!
00:39:20No!
00:39:21No!
00:39:23No!
00:39:25No!
00:39:26No!
00:39:27No!
00:39:28No!
00:39:29No!
00:39:29No!
00:39:29You're making this work.
00:39:35Me?
00:39:37That's not what I meant.
00:39:39No, say it again.
00:39:40You think I haven't spent all day being punished for who I used to be?
00:39:45Brooke, no.
00:39:47You know what?
00:39:48Forget 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.
00:40:13Did you post it?
00:40:16Does it matter?
00:40:17You were miserable with them anyway.
00:40:22Come back.
00:40:34Lydia, what are you doing now?
00:40:37Lyrics?
00:40:38Lyrics don't get you into college.
00:40:43Your 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.
00:40:57I don't know.
00:41:00Fake friends.
00:41:01Switch up, queen.
00:41:02Ava's glow better than Rockerner.
00:41:04Fake fish.
00:41:05Fake fish.
00:41:06Fake fish.
00:41:07Fake fish.
00:41:08Fake fish.
00:41:09Fake friends.
00:41:21Fake friends.
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:58I don't know.
00:42:48I don't know.
00:42:52I don't know.
00:43:00I don't know.
00:43:24I don't know.
00:43:31I don't know.
00:44:03I don't know.
00:44:10You 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?
00:44:20They broke up like six times.
00:44:24Turns out drama is part of the brand.
00:44:27We didn't even make it.
00:44:28We didn't even make it to a single.
00:44:30Maybe the point wasn't the group.
00:44:32Maybe the point was you.
00:44:38That's very inspirational.
00:44:41That's very inspirational.
00:44:41I'm serious.
00:44:45I'm serious.
00:44:59What?
00:45:03Nothing.
00:45:05Come on.
00:45:07Where?
00:45:09Field therapy.
00:45:22Wow.
00:45:23Future pop legend.
00:45:46I think we just invented a new genre.
00:45:49All right.
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.
00:45:59I'm gonna be your hero.
00:46:09Anytime.
00:46:43Come on, Ethan.
00:46:45We've got to 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.
00:47:48So 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.
00:48:00Mom.
00:48:01I messed it up.
00:48:02Oh, baby.
00:48:06And that's the part where everything exploded.
00:48:10Honey, people don't trust you because you're perfect.
00:48:13They trust you because you tell them the truth before the world does it for you.
00:48:18Come on.
00:48:19What?
00:48:20Let's play half and half.
00:48:22Oh.
00:48:23Yes.
00:48:24Please.
00:48:25Come on.
00:48:27One round.
00:48:31Mom.
00:48:41When the world gets loud, I turn the music louder.
00:48:49If the lights go out, we sing in the dark.
00:48:58If they try to silence you, I'll tell the truth first.
00:49:09There she is.
00:49:11Mom.
00:49:12I think I know what to do.
00:49:14Can't wait to see the next generation of glow.
00:49:35Can I help you, sweetheart?
00:49:45Can I help you, sweetheart?
00:49:46No, ma'am.
00:49:48I mean, yes, ma'am.
00:49:49I mean, hi.
00:49:51We were looking for not this.
00:49:55Guys, you made it.
00:49:58Come in before one of you faints on my front steps.
00:50:04I should have told you.
00:50:06I didn't because once people hear Claire Carter, they stop hearing anything else.
00:50:16And because if I'd exposed Mia earlier, Donna would have been destroyed with her.
00:50:22Donna?
00:50:24Please.
00:50:25Miss Carter, don't say anything yet.
00:50:29You've always been so good to me.
00:50:30But she literally stole my name.
00:50:33I know.
00:50:34But I'm in the middle of a custody fight.
00:50:36If this blows up now, her abusive father will drag my girl into court and tear me apart with it.
00:50:43So you want me to help her keep lying?
00:50:46No.
00:50:47Just give me a little time, please.
00:50:50Please.
00:50:53Okay.
00:50:54That's annoyingly decent of you.
00:50:56I know.
00:50:58I should have talked to you.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00You should have.
00:51:02But I should have talked first.
00:51:03So, just to be clear, you're the actual Claire Carter daughter and Mia is your housekeeper's kid.
00:51:10Oh my God.
00:51:12I've been taking orders from that little bitch this whole time.
00:51:15No offense to Donna, but that girl wearing last season's Chanel like it's front row at Paris Fashion Word.
00:51:22That should have been our first clue.
00:51:29So, what do we do now?
00:51:30We beat her first.
00:51:31And then we make sure she can't lie her way out of it.
00:51:33I promised Donna some time.
00:51:35But Mia, she's perfectly capable of exposing herself.
00:51:39Actually, I have an idea.
00:51:50Welcome to the finals.
00:51:52Tonight, the best act wins.
00:52:02Just remember the spin.
00:52:04Two counts, drop the mic.
00:52:08Spin.
00:52:09Two counts, hit the floor, roll up, I'll pass it back to you.
00:52:14Obviously.
00:52:16Break a leg.
00:52:18Preferably not literally.
00:52:20Next up, Mia's Glow.
00:52:25Or Mia featuring everyone else.
00:52:29Mia!
00:52:33Oh my God, she's so perfect.
00:52:36Oh my God, she's so perfect.
00:52:55I walk through the crowd with my head held high.
00:52:59None of these folks can reach my sky.
00:53:02Your tiny struggles with my precious time.
00:53:05All of your worth stays far behind.
00:53:08You gaze up below, stuck down below.
00:53:11I rule the show, nowhere to go.
00:53:15Still tasting shadows where my life once shown.
00:53:18Your feeble dreams will never know.
00:53:22I 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!
00:53:39We are not doing the Ashley Simpson thing again!
00:53:48And that, is what we call live music.
00:53:54Mia!
00:53:57Mia's high notes, total disaster.
00:54:02So, to guarantee the finals, she bought insurance.
00:54:07Whenever the song hits the high part, she switches to the track.
00:54:10All she has to do, is lip sync.
00:54:17So, allow me to introduce, our 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.
00:54:33Let's reset the stage a little.
00:54:35Our final act tonight, blow!
00:55:01What?
00:55:02What are you doing, Mia Carter?
00:55:13Claire!
00:55:14Claire!
00:55:18You didn't notice the console lock?
00:55:25Hey!
00:55:26I think we can all agree, tonight has already been very dramatic.
00:55:31So let's fix that.
00:55:33Here's some real music.
00:55:39You know what's funny?
00:55:41You remind me a lot of myself at your age.
00:55:45But my own daughter, Ava?
00:55:48She has done everything she can not to end up like me.
00:55:51Maybe she's smarter than both of us.
00:55:54You could have been anything.
00:55:56Why settle for fake?
00:56:05Oh
00:56:47When the room goes silent
00:56:50And the whole world stares
00:56:53Every broken moment
00:56:57Turns into a flare
00:57:00Turn 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
00:57:25Starting small in the corner of the room
00:57:28Now the whole world's turning when we boom
00:57:30Now it's from Tiana, it's your boy, it's your time
00:57:31I'm not hiding here, now it's my time
00:57:36Who says we can listen 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
00:57:44Three hearts beating, steal the show
00:57:47We are the light through the stormy west
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
00:58:09Hey
00:58:13Hey
00:58:14Hey
00:58:17Hey
00:58:18Hey
00:58:30When I was young, they're trying to quiet my voice
00:58:39When I was young, they're trying to quiet my voice
00:58:44But every girl who sings tonight gets to make that choice
00:58:53Turn the noise into a melody, turn the silence into gold
00:59:01Every boy, when I'm brave enough to hold
00:59:08Every step becomes a story, every spark begins to glow
00:59:15Every heart becomes a heart, when we're brave enough to hold
00:59:22Every step becomes a story, every spark begins to glow
00:59:28And if they try to drown the music, sing it louder
00:59:35Let it shine
00:59:40I'm brave enough to hold
00:59:56Let it shine
00:59:59Go! Go! Go!
01:00:29Well, hello, Ava Carter.
01:00:37You know now?
01:00:40Please. I 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 bends the room.
01:00:55That line ever worked before?
01:00:57You tell me.
01:00:59So now what?
01:01:00Now? Now I think I stopped pretending I came out here to congratulate you.
01:01:05Good.
01:01:15This glow's not done with you yet.
01:01:17Maybe not. Come on.
01:01:19If you're gonna watch me become a legend, you should probably do it up close.
01:01:23Lead the way, Ava Carter.
01:01:30Did you see the finals last night? Are you kidding? It's literally everywhere.
01:01:34Guys, check this out.
01:01:37Who is Lexi Chan?
01:01:38Look, Ava Carter and her daughter on the stage.
01:01:41Glow better drop this song now.
01:01:43Glow already signed with a record label?
01:01:44What?
01:01:44No way!
01:01:45No way!
01:01:46No way!
01:01:47Glow 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...
01:02:07You don't wait for a moment.
01:02:14You make one.
01:02:23And sometimes...
01:02:28You don't make it alone.
01:02:29You don't make it alone.
01:02:34You don't make it alone.
01:02:37You don't make it alone.
01:02:40You don't make it alone.
01:02:43You don't make it alone.
