New Year, New You

1 (eerie sounds) (soft music) (nocturnal sounds) (eerie sounds) WOMAN: [distant.]
Help me, please! Let go of Help me! Let me go! (screaming) (upbeat music) Hey, everyone, I'm Jesse Hall, the editor of Fresh and Free, we're joined by our regular contributor - Danielle Williams.
- Hi, guys.
JESSE: The creator of Get Well Danielle and owner of Very Very Vegetable Juices.
Danielle is getting her very own TV show next year.
- (happy scream) - Such a powerful example of what manifestation can bring.
We really are honored you're here with us one last time to get us inspired for the new year.
Okay, why wait till January 1st? You can start your health kick before the clock hits midnight with these wellness cocktails with my Very Very Vegetable holiday blends.
- JESSE: Oh! - Now, guys, don't forget to post your self-love selfies of you and your pals drinking my cocktails and tag them #GetWellDanielle so I can see all of your beautiful faces.
Now what is some advice to start fresh in 2019? The holidays make us feel a little out of control.
- Hello, third glass of eggnog.
- Oh! DANIELLE: We might be feeling like we aren't in charge of our own lives.
But you are.
I am here to remind you that you are.
[distorted.]
And you can do whatever it is you set your mind to.
Now, close your eyes and repeat after me.
I control my own destiny.
I control my own destiny.
DANIELLE: I control what I hold onto.
I control what I hold onto.
DANIELLE: And I control what I let go of.
I control what I let go of.
- JESSE: I let go of.
- DANIELLE: Very good.
Now, tomorrow is a new day.
Soon it will be a new year.
And when the clock strikes 12, I want you to become the new you, the best you, the you that you have always wanted to be but have been too afraid to become.
Don't put it off for a second longer.
Okay, your mom's gonna be home soon.
It's time to clean up.
She is so cool.
I cannot wait for her new show.
I wish I was as pretty and cool as her.
- You are, Kara.
- KARA: She's my inspiration! When I grow up, I wanna be just like her.
Actually, Kara, can you not jump on the couch? I'm really worried you're gonna hurt yourself.
But I love myself.
I am in control of my own destiny.
I am the princess.
Okay, I think somebody had too much sugar.
Those cookies didn't have sugar, they had maple syrup, they're paleo.
They were Danielle's recipe.
Kara, can you help me clean up? - I cannot believe you're going to spend - Please? New Year's Eve with Get Well Danielle.
What's she like? I don't know, I haven't seen her for a really long time.
But you guys were friends in high school.
- ALEXIS: Yeah.
- KARA: Best friends? - Yep.
- KARA: Wow.
Did you know she was gonna be so famous and cool? No.
But you did school plays together.
ALEXIS: That's true.
Were you good in them? ALEXIS: Uh, I mean, yeah, I thought I was gonna be an actress, and I won awards and stuff, so, I guess people thought I was pretty good.
Why'd you stop acting? - Is it because of your scar? - (abrupt creak) - No.
- (abrupt creak) I just thought that I wanted to do something that would make more of a difference in the world.
- KARA: Then why are you a babysitter? - (abrupt creak) (vehicle rushing past) (horn blares) (soft music) DANIELLE: [echoing, distorted.]
Hey guys, I'm Danielle Williams, founder of Very Very Vegetables and soon-to-be host of Get Well Danielle, coming to you this spring.
Make sure you tune in.

(soft music) (beeping) (thunder rumbling) (thunder rumbling) (phone vibrates) (soft eerie music) (car speeding by) We can coach you.
And I got the distinct vibe they were like, "We could both fuck you," and I was like, "No, please.
" Oh, my God, I love these boots! Oh, I love them! Oh, my God, I can't see a thing.
CHLOE: Oh, my God, Kaela, look.
Stop, Chloe, will you stop? I'm driving.
Okay.
- Holy fuck, they're nearly $5,000.
- What? What that's crazy.
[whining.]
I want them.
KAELA: Dude, that's like half a year's rent.
What who can afford that? Danielle.
Yeah, well Are you nervous? No, why would I be? Why? Are you? A little.
(engine thudding) No.
You're fucking kidding me.
- Shit.
- Again? KAELA: I'm so sorry.
I just serviced this fucking car.
CHLOE: I'm about to service your fucking face.
KAELA: I'm sorry, okay, let's go.
CHLOE: You would at least have one for me? KAELA: I'm sorry, I only have one umbrella! - CHLOE: Jesus, Kaela! - KAELA: Who has two umbrellas? CHLOE: Mary-fucking-Poppins! I don't know! KAELA: You see? This is why we don't buy $5,000 boots.
(thunder rumbling) (doorbell rings) - ALEXIS: Hey.
- KAELA: Hi! CHLOE: Oh, my gosh, here, take these, take these.
(laughing) Oh, my fucking God.
It's fucking pouring out there.
Kaela's shitmobile broke down again.
ALEXIS: Oh, you should have called me, I would have come pick you up.
KAELA: Um, can you not insult Sadie? She's been with me for years.
CHLOE: Fine, whatever, at least you have a car.
Whoa, oh, my God.
Wow, it looks exactly the same here.
Oh, my God.
I love it.
God, I can't believe your parents are selling this place.
We had so many good times here.
CHLOE: I don't know, I just it still freaks me out just thinking about Anyway, who does a girl have to fuck around here to get a drink, hm? KAELA: Hi.
ALEXIS: Oh, she has odd wants today.
(soft music) (cork pops, shrieking) Wait, shouldn't we wait for Danielle? You really think she's gonna come? Well, she said she would, didn't she? What did she say when you texted her? ALEXIS: She said "That would be so amazing.
I haven't seen you girls in so long and would be gr8," with an eight, "to say goodbye to the house.
Just LMK the deets via email and CC my assist Hailey@GetWellDanielle.
com.
" Ooh, she has an assistant.
Anyway, I think she'll probably flake.
I think she'll come.
Mm.
Yes, yum-yum-yum-yum-yum.
Do you have the Champagne? I want so much more.
CHLOE: Oh, my God, did you guys see that picture of her and Leo? - Who? - DiCaprio.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesus, Kaela.
KAELA: Oh, sorry, I must have missed it.
What are you sorry about? That you missed a picture of Danielle and Leonardo DiCaprio? - Who cares? - CHLOE: Oh, my God, I care so deeply.
She's just like hanging out with Leo now.
You guys, it's insane, like, it's amazing.
Mm, also, did you see the announcement about her show? It's coming out in the spring.
Yeah, well, we'll see about that.
(soft, tense music) - Oh, the balloons.
- Yes.
(balloon inflating) CHLOE: Oh, no, I didn't even ask you how your interview went.
Oh, um, it there's nothing much to tell.
- It happened.
- CHLOE: Oh, my God, you're going back to school.
ALEXIS: Maybe, eventually, you know? I'd love to finish my degree, maybe go back to grad school or something.
That's great.
Yeah, but this was for a hostess job at Eden's Pub.
Oh.
Yeah.
I saw the help wanted sign there the other day.
I just didn't think you'd want to work there.
I don't, but I need to pay my student loans for the two years of college I did go to before I had a nervous breakdown and dropped out.
KAELA: It wasn't a nervous breakdown.
No, it was.
You guys, how much money do you think Danielle makes in a year? I mean, like, if you factor in all the free stuff she gets.
I read somewhere she makes like $200,000 in passive income alone, like just from ads and stuff.
It's gotta be that much.
Her house is fucking it's literally my dream home.
It's like she went into my brain and plucked out my dream home and showed it to an architect.
It's insane.
(sighs) God, she's gotta be making like a million a year, right? I really don't know, Chlo.
I wish I had money.
I was famous.
Or both.
(doorbell rings) Shit, she came.
Oh! (soft music) - (door opens) - Hey.
- CHLOE: Danielle, you made it! - You ready? - As I'll ever be.
- DANIELLE: we weren't sure I was gonna come.
CHLOE: Wait, come on in! Oh, my God, Chlo! - You look amazing.
- CHLOE: Oh, no.
I feel like a whatever.
- Oh, please! - CHLOE: Anyway, so do you, of course.
Stop.
DANIELLE: [muffled.]
You guys, I am so sorry I'm late, it is so rude.
(muffled speaking) (eerie music) Lex, I am so grateful you invited me tonight.
I was really dreading whatever, like, awful party I was gonna be dragged to in LA, and This is this is so much better.
Yeah, well, we couldn't imagine spending the last New Year's in the house without you.
Aw, thank you.
Oh, my God.
You guys, this looks amazing.
Wow.
These balloons are so cute.
Oh, come on, I am obsessed with these number balloons.
- KAELA: Right? - ALEXIS: Kaela bought them.
KAELA: Yeah, it was it's nothing, they're like from the 99 cent store.
Of course.
You always have the best taste, Kaela.
Do you remember my mom used to ask why I didn't dress more funky like you? KAELA: [laughing.]
Yeah, that was weird of her.
- DANIELLE: Right? - KAELA: Yeah.
Oh, I brought presents.
- What? - Oh.
DANIELLE: Okay, these are all organic, all vegan.
Cruelty free.
If you give a shit.
- KAELA: We do.
- DANIELLE: All natural.
CHLOE: Oh, wow.
Esther and Tammy, that's so fancy.
- Well, nothing is too good for my girls.
- Aww, thank you, Danielle.
[loudly overlapping.]
I think that color will go perfect.
This is making a big splash.
Not out yet, but like bright brightens brightens everything up.
Cool, thanks.
DANIELLE: Yeah.
Of course.
Oh, my God, you guys, can I document this? - Do you care? - Sure, yeah.
DANIELLE: Jesus, what do I have in here? It's like a freaking clown car.
I'm just gonna be pulling out like rabbits and ducks.
(laughter) Okay, everybody scrunch in.
Lex, come on.
- I'll be in the middle.
- Okay.
- Gather 'round.
- All right.
Scrunch in.
Ready? (camera clicks) Oh, shoot, I'm blinking.
One more, okay? Okay.
Everybody say "cheese.
" Get Well Danielle.
CHLOE / KAELA / DANIELLE: Get Well Danielle! (sinister music) KAELA: Well, I'm just saying that I just feel like just because a woman is involved in something doesn't make it inherently feminist, and I think that's something we have to watch out for, like you've gotta be aware that money and this whole machine co-opts everything, right? - CHLOE: Okay.
- KAELA: You guys always just say okay when you want me to shut up.
- ALEXIS: No, I'm with you, Kaela.
- I'm too drunk for this conversation.
Oh, Kaela, do you mind leaving out the heavy cream? I'm DF.
DF? Dairy-free.
KAELA: Wait, you're dairy-free by choice? DANIELLE: Yeah, it's really bad for you.
KAELA: I do not care.
There's no way I could give up cheese.
DANIELLE: Ugh, trust me, I know, I miss cheese so freaking much.
So like how long have you been DF? Like four years now? KAELA: Whoa.
Yeah, one of my subscribers sent me a message saying she had these like terrible painful boils - on her head.
- KAELA: Ew, boils? DANIELLE: Yeah, and she tried all of these different medicines - and nothing worked.
- CHLOE: Oh, that's so gross.
DANIELLE: It was really fucked up.
And she was like begging me for help.
But she knew you weren't a doctor though, right? DANIELLE: Yeah, it didn't matter.
She had tried doctors and nothing was working.
So I did some research and found that dairy can cause inflammation issues.
And then I started reading about all this other, like, horrible stuff dairy does to your body and was like, "Whoa, I should not be eating dairy.
" Wow, it sounds like you're really making a difference.
Yeah, I mean, it's totally rewarding, but, um it's also a lot of hard work and a ton of pressure.
Um, you know, sometimes I just wish I was back here with you guys, just goofing off like we used to.
Believe me, you don't.
Believe me, I do.
KAELA: Well, I think the grass is always greener, you know? DANIELLE: No, you're right, you're right.
I should be grateful for what I have.
I mean, I am grateful for what I have, it's just, you know, it's sometimes so easy to get accustomed to a new equilibrium and forget how lucky you are.
(eerie music) Human nature, I guess.
Ah, fuck.
Ow.
- Shit, are you okay? - ALEXIS: Ah, fuck.
- Mm-mm.
- Here.
- ALEXIS: Hey, I'll be fine, I just - Are you sure? (music intensifies) (music softens) (indistinct chatter) KAELA: Alexis, you are such a good cook.
This all looks so amazing.
- DANIELLE: Yeah, thank you, Lex.
- Thank you.
- KAELA: Smells incredible.
- DANIELLE: Thank you.
CHLOE: Yummy.
DANIELLE: Oh, wait, um, before we start, uh, would you guys humor me with something? KAELA: Yeah, sure.
DANIELLE: Okay, I know this is a little corny, but it is the end of the year, after all, and I think it would be really productive if we just like went around the table and celebrated ourselves by acknowledging our proudest accomplishments of the year.
I know, it's silly, it's just, you know, to remind ourselves of what we're capable of.
Yeah, sure, that's nice.
- DANIELLE: Yeah? - Okay.
- You go first.
- KAELA: I'll go first.
I volunteered, so I'll go first.
- DANIELLE: All you.
- (laughing) KAELA: Okay, um, I guess my proudest accomplishment this year would be that I had a really challenging kid come in, um, she was deaf and autistic, and, you know, she has like she had a lot of sensory issues.
And, um, oh, I don't want to get too mumbo-jumbo-y, but it was just it was really it's really cool to just to watch a person develop so much over such a short period of time.
So Wow.
Kaela, that is incredible.
You definitely put the rest of us to shame.
- No.
- Oh, yeah.
DANIELLE: You are a fucking amazing woman.
Okay, well, thank you, I don't think so, but, you know, whatever.
- Someone else, someone else.
- DANIELLE: Well, I think you are.
(Kaela laughs) Chlo? - KAELA: Whatever you want.
- CHLOE: All right, well, okay, even though my mom's sick and I don't have a job and I'm broke and I've been on over 200 internet dates and I still don't have a boyfriend, I didn't fucking kill myself this year, so cheers to that, huh? (laughter) I'm kidding.
Oh, my God, Danielle, I'm joking.
Okay, well, all jokes aside, um it seems like you're actually really hurting, Chlo, and I want you to know that I'm here for you if you ever need me.
Thank you.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Lex? Um, well, as Chloe and Kaela know, this year was actually especially challenging for me.
DANIELLE: Fuck.
I'm sorry.
Is it is it something you want to share or? Just a lot of, you know, um regrets? Feeling like I didn't live my best life.
I wasted a lot of time.
I don't know, I I just had all these um, hopes and dreams and visions, but I just, um Yeah, so, I didn't actually accomplish a lot this year.
Actually, for a lot of years.
I feel like I've kind of been bogged down by the past.
Holding onto things that really I I should have let go of.
So Anyway, um, I know it's almost the end of the year, but I really feel like my biggest accomplishments have yet to come.
Wow, Lex.
I loved that.
Yes, there is always more time, so cheers.
- ALL: Cheers.
- KAELA: Cheers to us! (soft music) (chatter, laughter) CHLOE: Ha, wait, where were you? I was watching Waiting for Guffman.
- CHLOE: What? - Yeah, I had no idea that was going on.
Did you he jizzed in his pants? CHLOE: Yeah, dude, it was crazy.
He like he went in to kiss me and then he was like ugh, and he backed up.
And I was like, "What's happening?" And like he just didn't want me anywhere near his crotch.
And then I realized it was because he had jizzed in his pants.
DANIELLE: I can't believe you never told me that.
Did you guys know that? KAELA / CHLOE / ALEXIS: Yeah.
(laughter) DANIELLE: Teenage boys are so weird.
So gross.
Lex, do you remember the night that you were making out with Noah Spivak and I like crawled across the floor - and unplugged the light? - Yes, I do.
Wait, was the same night he said "VJ"? - ALEXIS: Yes.
- DANIELLE: Oh, my God, I'd bet you'd feel really good if you let me touch your VJ.
- (groaning) - KAELA: Who says thats It's so gross.
CHLOE: Wait, is vagina spelled with a J? Have I been spelling it wrong my whole life? - ALEXIS: No.
- CHLOE: I feel like DANIELLE: Wait, so so, did he touch your VJ? ALEXIS: Um, not that night.
I think I had my period.
Also there was a girl crawling around on the floor - unplugging lights.
- (laughter) DANIELLE: You're welcome, I was trying to set the mood.
(laughter) - I loved Noah.
- KAELA: Oh, my God, you were so obsessed with him.
DANIELLE: He was very cute.
(whimsical music) CHLOE: Okay, whose turn is it? DANIELLE: Wait, okay, what about you, Kaela? I feel like I know nothing about your love life.
Oh, she's hot and heavy with someone.

We need to start over.

Same girl who you'd go into food comas with every Friday night because no one wanted to hang out with us.

Mm-hm.
I think about you all the time.
And you're my best friend.

(laughs) And there's no one else who I'd rather ring the new year in with.
I'm so grateful you invited me back here.
And you're just such an amazing, strong woman, and I admire you so much.

Okay, so I was on a birthday trip with some friends, and we rented this house.
And I had started hooking up with this one guy.
He was like a friend of a friend.
- DANIELLE: Right.
- But then this other guy came into the room, and we were like getting going, and he kind of just stood in the door.
- Wow.
- CHLOE: You know, just watching.
and then he kind of came a little closer.
And then he sat on the edge of the bed, and then I kind of looked at him and he nodded at me.
And I nodded back at him.
And then I nodded at the guy I was in bed with.
And then he nodded back at me.
And then it sort of just happened.
Wow.
(laughing) Isn't that crazy? I still don't understand how everyone knew that a nod means sex.
What the fuck else is it supposed to mean? - Hello? - Thank you! But when you're naked, it's pretty obvious.
I mean, it's kind of like code for like - Let me get in there.

Everyone should be drinking, you've all forgotten to brush your teeth.

- DANIELLE: He is? - CHLOE: Yes! How did you meet him? - He called me.
- CHLOE: Wait, what? I know, it was crazy.
Um, I was sitting on the toilet clipping my toenails, and I got this call.
- CHLOE: Like from an assistant? - DANIELLE: No, directly.
ALEXIS: What, he just called you on the phone? Yeah, I guess, um, he got my number from my manager and CHLOE: Okay, wait, okay, so he just called you on the phone and asked you if you wanted to hook up or? No, he didn't ask me if I wanted to hook up.
He's like 45.
He asked me out.
CHLOE: Oh.
Thank God.
How did he even find out about you? DANIELLE: Same way everyone else does.
CHLOE: Get the fuck out of here.
He watches your videos? Are you kidding? What? He just seems so smart.
I know, right, I mean, he's not the first person who I would think is a fan, but this actor who I, like, give juices to is a mutual friend, and I guess he showed him my videos.
CHLOE: Wait, okay, so the actor friend, is that Leo? It's Leonardo, isn't it? (gasps) It's Leo, did you sleep with Leo? - DANIELLE: You're obsessed.
- CHLOE: Danielle, - did you sleep with Leo? - DANIELLE: No! Okay, you know what, let's just get back to the game.
CHLOE: Don't tell me you have some fucking bullshit NDA - with him too.
- I did not sleep with Leo.
CHLOE: Okay, but you're friends with him, right? - Like you're tight? - DANIELLE: Yeah, I mean kind of.
- He likes my juices.
- I bet he does.
Ew, that is so gross.
CHLOE: This is insane! Okay, so where did he take you? DANIELLE: I just told you I never went out with him.
No, she's talking about Mr.
Electric Car.
Oh, um Well, it wasn't exactly like a date.
CHLOE: Okay, this is like pulling teeth, Danielle.
Jesus Christ, you better dish.
I'm gonna fucking kill you.
DANIELLE: There's not much to tell.
It was brief and I don't I don't know, kinda weird.
How was it weird? (soft, tense music) Okay, you guys, I'm like really not supposed to talk about this.
Yeah, come on, guys, if she doesn't want to talk about it, - she doesn't have to talk about it.
- CHLOE: Oh, come on.
- If she says she can't talk about it - Kaela, give me a break.
She can't just like drop that she's fucking the king of Silicon Valley, and expect us to be like, "Oh, okay, we'll just drop it.
" She can because, guys, we're playing a game.
Let's just get back to the game.
- I'll take my turn again.
- CHLOE: All right.
- Okay, so, never have I ever - CHLOE: All right, all right, all right.
No, this is the game, Kaela.
We're supposed to talk about the experiences that come up.
It's the whole fucking point.
Danielle's the one who's not playing it.
Do you not understand the concept of an NDA? I guess we're just too provincial to understand such sophisticated concepts.
Okay, let's take a break.
- Let's all just - ALEXIS: No, it's fucking bullshit.
I thought we were your best friends.
I mean, who do you think we're gonna tell? Nobody gives a shit what you did with Mr.
Electric Car anyway.
DANIELLE: Well, you could have fooled me.
[shouting.]
Just play the fucking game! (dark music) We spent a long weekend together.
Hm.
Yeah? And what? He picked you up in a limo? He sent a car for me, yeah.
And? - Then what? - Then he took me on his private plane.
And then we flew to his island in Greece and spent the weekend.
That's it.
So, let me get this straight, a limo picked you up and took you to a plane.
Inside said plane was a perfect stranger who took you to his private island, fucked you, and then you never heard from him again.
Lex, I think that's enough.
ALEXIS: Does that sound about right, Danielle? Let's move on.
So you're a whore, basically.
(thunder rumbling) My turn.
Never have I ever bullied a perfectly sweet and innocent girl until she committed suicide.
(thunder rumbling) Drink, Danielle.
Fucking drink.
(clock chimes) [shouting.]
Fucking drink.
(frantic music) Admit what you did, Danielle.
Admit you tortured Kelsey until she jumped out of a window.
It wasn't a fucking accident.
Admit it, you fucking bitch.
(clock chiming) Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
Happy fucking New Year! DANIELLE [gasping.]
: Stop! Now, quick, tie her up! Get the balloons, tie her up! Kaela, what are you doing? You agreed to do this.
Help! Get the chair.
- GIRL 1: Drink! - GIRL 2: Fucking drink.
- (overlapping chatter) - GIRL 3: Oh, my God, fucking Kelsey.
(screaming) What the fuck are you guys doing? - CHLOE: Okay, I'm rolling.
- No! Not yet.
DANIELLE: What is going on, you guys, what are you doing? Clock struck 12.
(thunder rumbling) I'm taking Get Well Danielle's advice.
It's a new year and this is the new me.
It's time to tell everybody the truth.
(dramatic music) [whispering.]
What are you talking about? ALEXIS: When we found out that you were gonna be on TV, we knew we had to stop you.
We're not gonna let you stand in front of millions of people and pretend to be this perfect little princess Queen of Wellness psychotic phony.
The whole world deserves to know the truth.
And I'm gonna tell them.
I'm gonna tell the whole fucking world.
I'm gonna ruin your life.
Your whole perfect little life is based on a lie.
You're a fraud, you're a terrible person.
You're evil, you bullied everyone.
(thunder rumbling) You called Chloe fat all the time.
She was bulimic for two years.
(tense music) You called Kaela an ugly lesbian.
She was so traumatized she didn't come out till her mid-fucking-20s.
- Kaela - ALEXIS: Shut up! All Kelsey wanted was to be our friend, but instead you tortured her.
You killed her.
And then you just moved on.
DANIELLE: I know that night was traumatic.
We were both there.
We were both trying to be her friend.
No, we weren't trying to be Kelsey's friend! We tortured her! You told me that fucking with her was for her own good, that she was a fat, ugly loser who needed our help to become cool.
Guys, I never said that.
ALEXIS: And I fucking listened to you.
I believed you because you had power over me.
Just like you've got power over this army of narcissistic little fucking brats who are taking over the world, spreading and liking your bullshit like it's a fuckin' disease.
[shouting.]
You do not deserve to tell people to love themselves when you've spent your entire life making people feel like shit! But not anymore.
(sighs) It's time to tell the world what a terrible person you are.
(panting) DANIELLE: I think that's, um I think that's a good idea.
Hey guys.
It's Danielle.
Um, I'm just here with my friends and we were talking about some pretty deep stuff.
Stuff that actually speaks to an issue I keep coming back to in a lot of my work that, um, I think all of us struggle with.
The sins of the past.
(thunder rumbling) When we hold onto bad things we've done in the past, it can it can have all sorts of deleterious effects on our body.
Acne, weight gain, insomnia.
So in order to avoid these terrible physical ailments, we need to move through our sins.
We need to confess.
When I was 16 a friend of mine died.
Her name is Kelsey, and she was an amazing young person with so much life ahead of her.
But her classmates teased her mercilessly.
(Danielle sniffles) They would call her an ugly bitch, a loser.
She would come home from school every day crying.
When I think about a poor innocent girl going through something like that, it just gosh, it just makes me sick.
But I was complicit.
(breathing heavily) My sin (sighs) My sin Is that I didn't do anything to stop them.
(sighs) God.
God, that feels good to get that off my chest.
- (sniffles) - (phone beeps) (slams phone) Wow.
That wasn't a fucking confession.
Thank you for that opportunity.
God.
(dramatic music) You feeling a little camera shy? Hm? Gotta get camera ready before your close-up? You like that? Don't worry, it's all cruelty free.
Alexis, honey, calm down.
Anger is a junk emotion, okay, let it go.
Don't you tell me to calm down.
I'm fucking tired of feeling like shit because you tell me to love myself.
Loving yourself is the most natural thing in the world, sweetie.
People unlearn it in childhood.
You know why they unlearn it? Because people like you torment them.
(gasps) No.
Lex.
Alexis! (grunts, gasps) Alexis! What the fuck is wrong with you? Where the fuck are you going? Watch her.
(thunder rumbling) (rain pouring) Chlo.
I have no idea what Lex is talking about with Kelsey.
But she did say something I may have overlooked in the past.
I am so sorry about the way I treated you in high school.
If I could take it all back, I would.
I'm not that person anymore, and I can't say it enough, but I'm sorry.
Well, I appreciate you saying that.
Thank you.
(thunder rumbling) - Lovebug.
- KAELA: Hey.
- Hey.
- KAELA: Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
- I miss you.
- FRANKIE: I miss you too.
Why don't you come back tonight? Do you have to sleep over? KAELA: Yeah, my car broke down, so I have to I'm just kind of stuck here.
I gotta wait for Alexis to give me a ride back down, so Do you want me to come get you? KAELA: No.
(door handle rattles) No, I'll just go to sleep and I will see you tomorrow.
- (knock at door) - ALEXIS: Kaela? Open the door.
DANIELLE: [whispering.]
I just don't know why someone would do something like this.
Like, setting aside the fact that telling people I bullied Kelsey to death could destroy my career, even though it's something I didn't even do, it wouldn't just hurt me, Chlo.
(tense music) It would hurt a lot of other people too.
Young women rely on me for help.
For inspiration.
I feel really bad for her.
Like, she had all of these hopes and dreams about the future, but she just has nothing going for her, and no potential.
Yeah? Well, neither do I.
So fuck you.
What? Chloe, that is not true.
- That is a story you tell yourself.
- Whatever.
You're funny, honest, sexy.
I mean, you can be whatever you want.
You have no idea how good you are.
(door opening) Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up? Nothing, I just had to pee.
Look, Lex, I never agreed to this, okay? You said that the plan was just to spook her into admitting what she did to Kelsey, but she said she didn't do that stuff.
Kaela, of course she did that stuff.
What, you think I'm making it up? (scoffs) Jesus Christ.
Look, we're gonna get it out of her, we just need to push her a little further.
I'm not comfortable with that.
I'm not gonna torture someone.
What the fuck? We're not torturing her.
Fine, whatever.
I just I didn't agree for it to go this far.
This far? Well, what did you expect? The woman in that room's a psychopath responsible for the death of an innocent person, and we need to protect other girls from her evil.
Danielle's not evil.
Look, I wasn't gonna I wasn't gonna bring this up in front of the other girls, obviously, but Jesse is looking for someone to take over my segment on their channel, and I get to be the one to pick my replacement.
And to be honest, the main reason I came here tonight was because I had a feeling you might be a good fit.
Really? I'm serious, Chlo.
You better not be fucking with me right now.
DANIELLE: Why would I be fucking with you? Look, why don't you just come out to LA and stay with me for a little bit? We can come up with a pitch for your segment together.
I can bring you around, introduce you to people.
To guys.
I mean, it'll be really fun.
Yeah.
(giggles) DANIELLE: Chloe.
I know that you're hurting.
I know the pain you're covering up with your jokes.
I know you're lonely.
I know you're worried about your mother.
But I can change all of that for you.
(dark music) We can change all of that.
Together.
We just gotta deal with this situation first.
ALEXIS: She's preying on people who are as insecure as Kelsey was.
If that's not evil, then I don't know what is.
Maybe she doesn't call them vile losers, but she sure as hell makes them feel like that when they compare themselves to her.
And she's doing it all under the guise of helping people.
- Maybe she is.
- Don't start, Kaela.
You agreed to do this.
You're not bailing.
KAELA: Alexis Alexis! (ties ripping) ALEXIS: What are you doing? CHLOE: Tightening the ties.
(sighs) ALEXIS: The truth is gonna come out, Danielle.
One way or another.
We're not gonna leave you alone until you admit what you did to Kelsey.
DANIELLE: Lex.
I didn't give you that scar.
Kelsey did.
(strikes) (grunting) KAELA: Chloe, stop! (grunting) (dramatic music) (grunts) (loud thud) (dark music) (pounding) (pounding continues) (labored breathing) (pounding intensifies) DANIELLE: [muffled.]
Guys, you're being punished.
(pounding) (muffled speaking) KAELA: What's going on? They locked us in here.
We can't get out.
Guys, come on, please.
Guys.
(pounding) Fuck, she's not gonna let us out of here.
(sniffles) She's fucking insane.
(pants) She's out of her fucking mind.
- KAELA: Look! - ALEXIS: They're not gonna come, Kaela.
KAELA: Fine! But Chloe with come.
Chloe! ALEXIS: No, neither of them are gonna come.
I'm telling you, she's fucking insane.
KAELA: What are you talking about? You're insane, Alexis! Come on, guys, please, please! Stop wasting your energy.
KAELA: So what? Just gonna die in a steam room? (sighs) I thought if I just went along with this, you could get some closure and move on with your life.
So what? So she made fun of me for being gay.
I don't care.
I have a great fucking girlfriend who I'm maybe never gonna see again because I'm gonna die in a steam room.
(dramatic music) This is so stupid.
You don't want to think about her? Don't go on Instagram.
Who cares if she's some dumb internet celebrity? You don't have to look at her stuff.
Why don't you go outside or get a fucking dog? Finish your degree like you're always talking about.
(sighs) (tense music) You guys suck so fucking much.
You're the stupidest fucking people in the entire world.
(weeps) Fuck.
(pounding) Jesus fuck.
(pounding) (vibrating) (breathing) DANIELLE: Inhale.
And now repeat the mantra.
Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
(inhaling) (exhales) Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
Perfect.
(exhaling) So any time you feel your mind wandering or you're getting anxious, just repeat that mantra as many times as you need and you will be amazed at the things that start to happen for you.
(inhaling) Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
[whispering.]
Yes.
How much longer? Um, I think a couple hours should be fine.
What then? Then we'll call the cops, tell them that they got stuck in the steam room when we were watching a movie, and they were dead when we found them.
Wait, what? What? I I just thought the plan was, like, to scare them, you know, so they wouldn't spread lies or whatever.
Oh, yeah, no, it was.
I mean, if I trusted that they wouldn't spread these terrible rumors that could ruin us, I would let them go, but I mean, you know them better than I do at this point.
And remember, you have utter power over everything in your life.
You can say no to anything with complete ease and trust.
If you think scaring them is enough to shut them up, then we'll just scare them.
I mean, probably, yeah.
Okay, then we'll just scare them.
Okay.
DANIELLE: I mean, I would just be nervous that if we let them go and they spread these terrible rumors, I mean, you know how it is with mob mentality on the internet, right? It's not innocent until proven guilty.
CHLOE: Right.
DANIELLE: Or they would tell the cops we were trying to kill them even though we were just trying to scare them.
But honestly, whatever you think.
I don't want to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Do you trust them not to say a word? CHLOE: [exhales.]
Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
(weak pounding) (sighs) (panting) (pounding) (panting) (grunts) (pants) (dramatic music) Shit.
- Please.
- Kaela.
Go on.
Nothing stands between you and all of your desires.
[whispering.]
Okay.
- KAELA: Shit, shit, it's locked.
- Fuck! Fuck! She must have taken the key.
Shit.
KAELA: Fucking me? (rattling) Come on.
Shit, it won't open.
- Try it! - KAELA: I can't get it! (weeping) I can't get it.
(creaking) (screaming) (whack) Fuck! DANIELLE: Come on, Chloe! What the fuck? Let's go! (whimpers) ALEXIS: Wait.
DANIELLE: Chloe, come on! Go find them.
(clattering) (eerie music) ALEXIS: Are you okay? I'm so sorry I dragged you into this.
KAELA: All right.
I don't know what's going on.
- She's totally crazy.
- I'm gonna get us out of this.
- How? - ALEXIS: Fuck, I don't know.
I just I need a second to think.
(panting) (tense music) All the windows are sealed.
If I can just if I can just get to my phone.
- They took our phones.
- ALEXIS: I know, but they must be somewhere downstairs.
If I can just get to my phone then I can call the cops.
No, Alexis, Alexis, listen, listen to me, do not go out there alone.
- I'm gonna fix it.
- No.
Alexis, no, no, Alexis.
(gasps) (stairs creaking) (thunder cracking) (sighs) Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
(door handle clicks) (door creaks) (footsteps creaking) Are you in here? Kaela? Alexis? (dramatic music) It's okay, it's just me.
(tense music) - Okay, it's just me.
- Where's Alexis? She's not here, okay? We're all alone.
Listen, Chlo.
I don't know what Danielle said to you, but we can still walk away from this.
Okay? You and me, we can just walk away.
All we need to do is just just call the cops and tell them that she went nuts.
There's no fucking way I'm calling the cops.
No fucking way.
Chloe, I would never tell them that you were part of this.
I would never do that.
Chloe, come on.
You trust me, right? Look, we can just We can just leave.
We gotta go right now.
We can just walk away right now.
Right now.
Yeah? Come on, Chloe, you and me.
Trust me.
We'll just go home and we can go back to our normal lives, okay I don't want to go back to my normal life.
Chloe, come on, stop it.
- My normal life is shit.
- Let go of me, you're hurting - You just want me to stay small.
- Stop it! You don't want me to succeed! Let go of me! (thud) (loud thud) (gasps) (panting) (dark music) (thunder cracking) (dramatic music) (panting) ALEXIS: Fuck! Oh.
(door opens) (door creaks) DANIELLE: [singsong.]
Come out, Lex! (footsteps) We weren't trying to hurt you.
We were just trying to scare you.
And if you promise not to say anything about this Kelsey stuff, we can just let all of this go.
(gasps) (screaming grunt) (knife slices) (screaming) (panting) [whispering.]
Kaela.
Kaela! (panting) No.
(dark music) No.
(door creaking) (door closes) Ow, fuck! (fumbles with door) Fuck! (fabric ripping) (whimpers) (weeping) DANIELLE: What's wrong, Chlo? (weeping continues) CHLOE: I I killed Kaela.
(weeping) DANIELLE: Wow, Chlo.
It was an accident.
I I went to grab her and she just Oh, my God.
(sobbing) I'm so proud of you.
You're finally putting yourself first.
That is how you achieve your dreams.
I'm really impressed.
You're really manifesting everything you've always wanted.
Aw.
(weeping) It's not your fault.
It was an accident.
Accidents happen.
The only thing we can control is how we handle our given circumstances.
And you handled it so beautifully.
(whimpers) Oh (nervous laugh) Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
(doorbell rings) (knocking) DANIELLE: Who the fuck is that? Shit, it's Frankie, Kaela's girlfriend.
DANIELLE: What the fuck is she doing here? How the fuck should I know? What do we do? DANIELLE: Okay.
Um (knocking) FRANKIE: Hello? DANIELLE: Okay, I've got it.
We let her in.
When she isn't looking, you get the knife and you take care of her, okay? Then when the cops come, we'll say that she showed up in a fit of jealousy because Kaela broke up with her and she wanted revenge.
- God, you're good at this.
- Yeah.
And it's kind of an amazing story because then I can do a whole segment on, like, self defense.
CHLOE: Hm.
You okay to do this? - Mm-hm.
- Okay.
Let her in.
(tense music) Okay.
Frankie, hey! What are you doing here? Um, Kaela called earlier, so I Oh, my God, you're Frankie! Oh, my God.
It is so nice to meet you.
I have heard so much about you.
Kaela is absolutely in love with you.
Well, the feeling is mutual.
I'm Danielle.
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
- Heard a lot about you.
- Oh! That's sweet.
Is Kaela okay? CHLOE: Yeah, why wouldn't she be? - Of course.
- What do you mean? FRANKIE: She just seemed upset and uh, she's not answering her phone.
DANIELLE: Oh, she just missed you.
- CHLOE: Mm-hm.
- (Danielle laughs) DANIELLE: She already fell asleep.
I mean, classic K, right? FRANKIE: Yeah.
Yeah, she's pretty much head to pillow.
Mm-hm.
Oh, shit, I forgot something.
Sorry.
FRANKIE: Did she make it to midnight? DANIELLE: She did.
Actually we were very proud.
FRANKIE: My sister is obsessed with you.
DANIELLE: [cooing.]
Oh! FRANKIE: She watches all your videos, does all your workouts.
(Danielle laughs) Um, no dairy, no gluten, and she got really into the juices you advertise, the, uh Very Very Vegetables.
- FRANKIE: Yes.
- Yeah! FRANKIE: Yes, the Very Very Vegetables.
Do you want me to take a look at the fuse box or anything? Oh, you're so sweet.
No, it's okay.
Um, we're heading to bed soon anyway.
- FRANKIE: All right.
- (dramatic music) (knife pierces) (Frankie grunts) (grunts) (grunting) (panting) Holy shit.
(Chloe panting) Good job, Chlo.
(knife clatters) (Chloe whimpers) Come here.
Okay? Mm-hm.
You did so good.
Yeah.
- We're gonna get you to LA, okay? - Uh huh.
We're gonna get you out of here tonight.
(laughs) You are gonna get everything you've always wanted.
Nothing stands between me and all of my desires.
(gasps) (thunder rumbling) (gasps) (panting) (tense music) (thunder rumbling) DANIELLE: It's time to move on, Alexis.
It's time to say yes to healing.
It's time to say yes to letting go.
Your life doesn't need to be tight.
It can be messy.
- Let go of control and order.
- CHLOE: Nothing stands between me - DANIELLE: You're just chum in the water.
- CHLOE: and all of my desires.
DANIELLE: Give up.
Relax into your destiny.
- (screaming grunt) - (strikes) - Chlo! - (Alexis cries out) Oh, my God! (panting) [screaming.]
(screams) (dramatic music) (grunts) (tense music) (shudders) (rattling) (rattling) DANIELLE: It's time to stop doing the ego dance.
Time to stop looking to the outside world for validation.
(banging) I see so much strength in you, Alexis.
You're so misguided.
Let me help you.
(banging) We're not supposed to be enemies.
(grunts) (screams) Lex, if you thought for one fucking second I was gonna admit Kelsey died 'cause of me, you were a bigger fucking idiot than I thought.
(sardonic laugh) I'm fucking rich.
Do you get that? People worship me.
And this is just the beginning.
I'm gonna have magazines, TV shows, movies.
I'm gonna be in movies and you think I'd throw that all away? (grunting) You ruined my life! You took everything! I got stuck with this.
It should have been me.
It was supposed to be me.
I worked so hard! You think it was supposed to be you, you pathetic piece of shit? You're a fucking loser! - You are nothing! You're invisible! - (grunting) (strike) You pathetic piece of shit! You could never achieve what I've achieved.
You could never have what I have.
You are nothing! (grunts) (panting) I control my destiny! I control what I hold onto, and I control what I let go! (screams) (panting) (sobbing) (crickets chirring) (pool water bubbling) (soft chiming) (soft music) (birds chirping) (pool water bubbling) Hey, guys.
As I'm sure many of you heard, our dear friend and contributor Get Well Danielle passed away on New Year's Day.
And here with us today to help us remember her is her best friend, Alexis.
Thank you for joining us, Alexis.
Thank you for having me.
(sighs) So, I read on the news, and I don't want to get too gruesome here, but it was a jealous lover of one of your friends? Yes, Danielle had encouraged our friend Kaela that she deserved better, that she should start the new year fresh and find someone who really loved her.
And I guess Kaela's partner just took it really hard and lost it.
(exhales) What do you want the world to remember most about Danielle? It's hard to just pick one thing.
She was a wonderful person.
(mellow guitar music) [crying.]
And I know she'd just want me to move through this and live my fullest life.
This experience has taught me so much, especially the value of self defense.
That's right, you're gonna teach us today how to make your own DIY pepper spray.
ALEXIS: Yes, I am.
Now there's one thing that you always need in your bag, and that's pepper spray.
I'm gonna show you how to make your own pepper spray - using household ingredients.
- Wow! Now before we get started, please make sure you're wearing your protective glasses and your Latex gloves, - because this stuff is spicy! - Oh, my gosh.
Okay, so we're gonna need vinegar, chili flakes, red chili powder, oil, a bowl, and a spray bottle.
- Oh, yay! - So don't cross me, Jess.
Oh, my gosh, stop it! You watch out! (giggles) (upbeat music) (eerie music)
