Light as a Feather (2018) s01e02 Episode Script
Pretty as a Picture
1 Previously on Light as a Feather Who are you bringing to Olivia's party? You want to go together? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Don't tell me this is another one of your Halloween prank thingies.
She's a little awkward, but what's the problem with just having her come for one night? - Let's invite her.
- Cool.
I got you something.
It's the dress you wanted.
We have to do something spooky.
How about Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board? The leader tells a story about how the person is going to die.
Olivia flew down the highway.
By the time she saw the truck it was too late.
Severed arm on the freeway.
Pretty twisted.
So who wants to go next? Alex Portnoy was never at a loss for words until her last moments on earth.
She looked so small lying there, choking, terrified, wordlessly pleading.
But no one could help.
They say ten minutes without oxygen will leave somebody brain damaged for life.
Maybe Alex got lucky.
Her heart stopped after five.
Aah! Literally the best Halloween ever! I cannot believe that Isaac's sister got us into a college party.
Technically junior college.
What's your problem? Is this still about the graveyard? As a matter of fact, yes, it is.
What? Am I the only one that thought that that game was seriously messed up? I thought it was funny.
Violet is unique, but she's just trying to make friends.
Plus we did such a nice thing.
Ohh! Where is she anyway? You know, probably off predicting the deaths of random strangers.
Shoot, I need to find her.
What? She's my ride.
Two hours past curfew? How bad is your mom gonna kill you? I guess I'm gonna have to find out.
Hey, McKenna, thanks again for tonight.
I'm sorry if that game creeped you guys out.
Oh, trust me.
I mean, maybe a little, but it's fine.
Okay, cool.
Hey, if you want, we can make something up.
Tell your mom I had car trouble or your phone's dead.
Oh, it's fine.
I'll I'll handle it.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I'll hold onto the dress for you.
Thanks.
- Aah! - Shit! You scared me! 1:00 a.
m.
? Jeez! Whatever you were doing, I hope it was worth it, because you are grounded.
What? Mom, no.
Olivia's party's on Saturday.
You know I'm going with Henry.
You should have thought of that before you missed curfew, McKenna.
What were you thinking? This isn't like you.
Yeah, exactly.
I literally never do anything wrong.
Can you please just let this slide like a normal parent? Please?! Well, I'm not a normal parent, McKenna.
Trust me, I wish I were.
Okay, so what? What about me? When do I get to be normal again? We'll talk about this in the morning.
I'm glad you're not dead.
Hey, McKenna, what happened with your mom yesterday? Oh, um, grounded.
Oh, shit.
What about Olivia's party? What about Henry? Um, haven't exactly told Henry, but, um, what am I supposed to do? Whatever it takes.
Well, he goes back to USC next Sunday.
This was kind of my only shot.
Well, then blow off your mom and go to the party.
I can't do that.
There's no way.
McKenna, there's always a way.
As I promised when I was running for class president, this year, 30% of proceeds from fundraisers will go towards the Willow Falls High anti-bullying initiative.
Bullying? You mean like the other day when your little machine sprayed red crap all over the new girl? That wasn't bullying, Noreen.
That was an unfortunate mishap.
Right, Violet? Oh, definitely.
Violet's even coming to my party Saturday.
Would a bully do that? So, anyway, 30% of proceeds.
We need to figure out what fundraisers we're doing.
Looking kind of sluggish there, Portnoy.
Everything okay? Hundred percent, coach.
Hey, whoa, whoa.
Hold on.
You'd tell me if something was going on, right? Honestly, probably not.
Don't worry.
I'm fine.
Moxie.
Keeps sneaking into our yard through the hole in your fence, so I fixed it.
Poor baby.
She probably misses hangin' out with me.
Listen, about what I said to you the other day.
Um, you know, I'm kind of busy, uh, getting ready for something, so Oh, right.
Olivia Richmond's masturbatory crap-fest.
Mm, you sound really jealous you weren't invited.
You kidding? I got tickets to Mike Watt in Modesto tonight.
Great.
Have fun with that.
You're welcome for rescuing your dog.
And fixing your fence.
I got a surprise for you.
I know it's not brand-new.
No, no.
Thanks, Mom.
It'll go great with my dress.
So it's Olivia's big night, huh? 18 years old.
Yeah, it should be huge.
You know, Olivia is like my own daughter, but tonight, when everybody's fussing about her, I want you to remember one thing.
Yeah? You are never in that girl's shadow, Candace Preston.
Don't you ever forget that.
Thanks, Mom.
Gotta go.
Library and then home.
Listen, if you decide to knock off early, maybe we could do something later.
We could, um, watch TV, order pizza.
Maybe.
Hi! Here we go, right? Voilà .
You, Ms.
Brady, look one hell of a lot better.
Dress, please.
Thank you.
Whoa, whoa, what's this? Um, it's my dress.
- You bought it? - With what? Did you sell a kidney? More like three kidneys.
Uh, no, Violet got it for me.
- What? - It's no big deal.
Look, that dress costs, like, 400 bucks.
You barely know her.
- I was just trying to be nice.
- And you were.
No, no.
See, no one's that nice.
That right there is just some psycho shit.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Candace, chill.
Violet's the only reason I can even come tonight.
She had the idea to hide my phone.
Oh, my God.
She's choking.
- Does anyone know CPR? - No, not you.
Come on, Alex.
Come on.
You little bitch.
You were just faking? If it'd been real, I'd be dead now.
- It's not funny, Alex.
- It's a joke! Fooled me.
Wow.
Red carpet, seriously? Well, Candace, you always wanted to step and repeat.
I'm still not talking to you.
Hey, guys.
Hey! Did you see my new ride? - Yeah.
It's amazing.
- Wow! Um, I'm gonna get us some drinks.
Hey, you.
Hi.
- Shall we? - We shall.
I'm gonna go check with the bartender.
I don't want to run out of ice.
The ice is fine.
Come on, Livs, focus on us for a second.
I mean, you barely even mentioned your gift.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
I haven't.
I'm just still in party-planning mode.
It's gorgeous.
Thank you.
I'm really glad you came.
Me, too.
Even though it practically seems like you had to fake your own death to get here.
Oh.
I mean, it wasn't that much trouble.
- Close.
Near death.
- Near death.
Okay, now we have some people who'd like to say a few words.
Oh.
There are speeches? Want to get out of here for a while? Yeah.
When we think of Olivia Richmond, we think about all her accomplishments sports, student government, community service.
But, having grown up as one of her very best friends, I happen to know some things about her that you don't.
For example, did you know that our friend Olivia is an absolutely terrible shoplifter? It happened once three years ago.
Cheap phone case.
The security guy at Target let her off with a warning.
Not gonna speculate how that happened.
Man, it's, um It's hot it's hot up here.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Thanks for hangin' out with me.
I really wasn't looking forward to hanging out with those people tonight.
Really? Thought it would be fun for you, talking about USC and all your accomplishments.
Oh, you mean the ones my parents are in there bragging about.
Well, you know, you're Henry Richmond.
You're kind of a big deal.
Maybe here, but at USC If I tell you something, you mind keeping it to yourself? Sure.
I quit the tennis team.
Oh.
Be because of your knee? Because I'm not that good.
I was great here.
Once you get to school with 19,000 other people, you start to realize there are a whole lot of Henry Richmonds from a whole lot of Willow Falls.
Well, what did your parents say? You're kind of the first person I've told.
Why me? I don't know.
I guess at some point I got it in my head that you're someone I want to tell things to.
Since when? Since the other day when I saw you in that dress.
Nice dress.
Must be new.
Say your goodbyes.
We're going.
Mom, you are humiliating me.
- Maybe you deserve it.
- I'm sorry.
Hey, birthday girl.
I thought now might be a good time for those group shots with your friends? What friends? We do not lie in this family, McKenna Brady.
- Where's your phone? - I don't know.
You tell me.
You're the one who's been tracking me all night.
What, did someone tag me in a photo or something? It's a good thing they did, too.
Breaking curfew, sneaking out to parties? God knows where that dress came from.
I'm sorry.
Are you are you drunk? Get in the car.
Give me your keys, now! My party has become a complete and total shit show.
Isaac's acting weird, and Alex just outed me as a felon in front of my grandparents.
And McKenna's mom just showed up lit as a goddamn Christmas tree.
And Oh, by the way, where the hell are you, Candace Preston? Call me back now! What? Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Maybe this will help? What is it? Rum.
Thanks.
No problem.
And if it helps, I think I know where Candace is.
Whoa, whoa, hold on a minute.
We have to stop.
We've been gone way too long.
Maybe I don't care anymore.
Well, I do, Isaac.
I don't know, and, just until I can speak to Olivia, we have to stop.
Okay? Olivia, wait.
Olivia, wait.
Where are you going? Anywhere but here.
Look, you're upset.
I understand, but you've been drinking.
At least let me drive.
Please, you have so many people that care about you.
I care! You've reached Candace.
Either I'm not here to take your call or I'm completely ignoring you.
You backstabber.
You ruined my night, now you won't take my calls? Yeah, well, I hope making out with my boyfriend was worth it.
Because, bitch, you are dead to me! You and I are completely Wow.
Looks like somebody's having a shitty birthday.
How about a ride? Hey, it's Livvy.
Please leave your birthday message here.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You scared me.
What are you doing here? Sorry.
I thought you might need this.
Thank you.
Wait, how did you Your friend told me where to find it.
Wait.
Which friend? Uh, that that new girl.
I don't remember her name.
Do you want to come in? Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey, um you haven't by chance heard from Olivia? No.
No, why? Why? What'd she say? Nothing.
It's just, uh, she hasn't been answering her phone, and I've been seeing all these things about Police confirm a teenage girl was killed in the crash.
The victim's name has not been released pending a family notification.
Hello? Allie? Sorry.
Keeps ringing.
It's Alex.
Hey.
Hey, McKenna.
Is everything okay? What's wrong? What's happened? Miraculously, the driver of the car escaped with only minor injuries.
- Okay.
Don't tell me this is another one of your Halloween prank thingies.
She's a little awkward, but what's the problem with just having her come for one night? - Let's invite her.
