1 Previously, on Andi Mack Hi, Mom.
How long will you be staying? Okay, so much for the pleasantries, huh? I wish you would just grow up already! I have.
I'm here, and I'm raising my daughter.
I live for the day you tell me you're proud of me.
He's throwing it and you pass it What are you doing here? You two know each other? He's my dad.
You invaded my privacy, and you embarrassed me.
I wanted to surprise you.
Just leave me alone.
Andi: What was he doing? Hey, it's Bowie here.
I just became a dad.
No, I've never seen nothing like you Bowie! How's that paper on the Lincoln-Douglas debates coming? Good.
I'll finish it.
I just wanna watch this one more time.
You can watch it "one more time" as many times as you want.
Which, so far, has been about 20? Well, I miss him.
I miss him a lot.
And now he hates me.
No, he does not.
Then why hasn't he texted me back? I know it seems forever, but it's only been a week.
He's probably just giving you some space.
You'll hear from him.
When? I don't know, but you will.
That's not comforting.
What would be? Whenever I'm down Whenever I fall I'm tryin' to look up - Is it working? - Is what working? It's working.
You can call me superstar Oh whoa You can call me superstar Oh whoa Ooh they wish they'd got this far Oh whoa Ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya (retro pop music playing) (country-western music playing) I am totally getting this top.
Don't you love it? I do! It's the top I wore in here! Oh! (laughs) I'll give you a dollar for it? (theme music playing) I'm standing on the edge And everything I know-oh-oh Has blown away Life is upside down But any way it go-o-oes I'll work it out Oh oh oh oh oh Here we go One, two, three! I'm ready for tomorrow Tomorrow starts today There ain't a map to follow But I'm with you all the way I'm ready for tomorrow Tomorrow starts today There ain't a map to follow But I'm with you all the way All the way Bex: Hey, we got some good stuff.
I know, right? I love these.
Hopefully, one day I'll be a size nine.
I know that smell.
Like a cat smoked a cigar.
You brought home somebody's discarded clothes? They're vintage.
They're moth-eaten.
Can I talk to you a second? Okay, work with me here.
Andi's been moping around since Bowie left.
I finally got her to cheer up.
Can we please focus on that? Certainly.
Don't say "certainly" unless you actually mean "certainly.
" Don't be disrespectful to me, Rebecca.
You are living under my roof.
It's my roof, too, Mom, in case you forgot.
Before you threw me out, this was my home.
I did not throw you out.
- I don't wanna fight.
- You brought it up.
I'm sorry I did.
I'm gonna go be with Andi, make sure she's okay.
Hey! Marty from the party.
Please.
My friends call me Mr.
The Party.
Oh, are we friends now? Well, you're not calling me eleven-point-five anymore.
Only because it'll be confusing when that's my name, too.
You know, you get a real sparkle in your eye when you're overconfident.
I like it.
Ugh.
He's so full of himself.
Don't you just wanna wipe that smirk off his face? Do you? What's that supposed to mean? Nothing.
It's just, your trash talk sounds a lot more like flirt talk lately.
There's so much electricity between you and Marty, my hair's standing on end.
Or, it would be, if it wasn't such a thick, beautiful mop.
You two don't know what you're talking about.
Look, it's not a bad thing.
I actually think it's nice you're being a little you know, less competitive.
I wanna race.
(laughs) All right, you got it.
Ready? Set, go! I mean it.
A real race to prove once and for all who's the fastest.
Come on, Buffy.
Does it really matter? Yes.
It matters.
Okay, then.
When are you ready to lose? I'm ready to win tomorrow after school.
I'll see you at the finish line three-tenths of a second after me.
Clever, but I don't think so.
You'll be staring at my back the whole race.
In fact, let me give you a preview right now.
Did that sound flirty? No.
I mean, maybe in the way the praying mantis flirts before eating her mate.
I was in a race once.
It's true.
You wanna know how it ended? You lost? Obviously.
Besides that, I tripped over the finish line.
It's a painted line, guys.
I don't even know how I did it.
Did Jonah just pretend not to see me? Wow, that was an actual ghosting.
I've never seen one in person.
Ghosting, scary concept.
What does that mean, that you're dead to him? No.
Does it? When was the last time you spoke to him? I was behind my chair, in my thermal pajamas that I've had since I was eight! I can't believe he saw me like that! Right not your finest moment, Andi.
Or your finest pajamas.
Oh, Andi.
Hey! Look, can I just apologize for the other day? I didn't mean to flip out, I was just surprised to see you.
So you're not mad at me? Why would I be mad? I don't know.
I should've asked you before I just showed up.
And the whole Amber text thing Totally over that! Heh.
Don't need to talk about it again.
And you can come over anytime.
Come over today if you want.
Okay.
Sweet! Really? Yeah.
Why not? Uh, wait.
I can't.
There's something I have to do.
Oh.
Okay.
But if you still wanna hang out, I actually could use some help.
I'm up for anything.
Just name it and I'll be there.
I have to get Amber a birthday present.
Sweet.
Andi! Jonah! Look at you guys, here! Together.
We're getting a birthday present for Amber.
You remember her, right, Bex? Jonah's girlfriend who's still his girlfriend.
Yes, I do.
What a sweetheart.
So, Jonah, uh, what were you thinkin'? (laughs) I don't know! Amber never likes what I give her, and she won't tell me what she wants.
It's like this fun guessing game that we play that I never win.
It It isn't really fun.
Like I said, what a sweetheart.
How about makeup? She'd love that! I I think.
I wouldn't know what to get.
Don't worry, I'll show you everything on Andi! On Andi? Why on Andi? Come on, this way.
This is gonna be so fun! This is foundation.
It helps minimize pores, just in case Amber's are a little big.
I mean, we can't all have great skin like this.
This highlights Andi's cheekbones.
Does Amber have cheekbones? I can't remember.
I wanna tell it to the trees I wanna hear it whispered back to me See how this makes her eyes sparkle? Not that Andi needs makeup, but sometimes it's nice to be noticed in a different way.
Right, Jonah? Wow.
You look really pretty.
Thanks.
Crazy as that dream might seem Everybody loves a dream or two So many questions.
One of my track shoes is gone! I don't understand.
It was right here in my gym bag! Okay, deep breath.
Retrace your steps.
Did you have your bag with me all day? Yes! It hasn't been out of my sight! Except for when I left it in Spanish and later in the cafeteria.
I know where it is.
I'm so relieved.
Marty! Marty took it.
Suddenly, not so relieved.
He wants to sabotage me because he's afraid I'm going to win tomorrow.
And you know what they say: If the shoe fits, someone's going to steal it so you can't wear it and beat him.
Okay.
One people don't say that.
And two please, please, please, just promise me you won't do anything stupid.
Fine.
I promise I won't do anything stupid.
I wanna believe you, but that wild look in your eyes is making it difficult.
And the fact that you didn't respond to that last statement.
Jonah Beck said I looked pretty.
Can you believe it? Of course I can believe it.
You're amazing.
No, you're amazing.
How'd you come up with that makeover idea? I know a little something about boys.
And, that one likes you, even if he doesn't know it yet.
You don't know that! You'll see.
Someday you'll look back on this basket of baby taters and realize how smart I am.
Why did you have to leave? What? When I was a baby.
It's just, this is so much fun.
Boy talk, thrift shopping, baby taters we could've always been doing this.
You could've always been here.
Okay.
You wanna do this now? Let's do it.
I won't dodge any more of your questions.
Oh.
I wasn't expecting an answer.
I just wanna sit here and listen to you tell me how Jonah Beck secretly likes me.
(laughs) Well, we might need milk shakes for that.
Both: Waiter! (laughing) (laughing continues) - You're late for dinner.
- I know, I'm sorry.
We already ate.
Are you wearing makeup? Not that much.
Relax.
It all comes off with a little soap and water.
No Andis were harmed in this makeover.
(laughs) I seem to remember that when you first got here, you said you'd only be staying for a short time.
What are you saying? She's saying she wants me to move out.
Cece, no.
Please, don't.
Bex coming back is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Please! Don't make her leave again.
Again? What did you tell her? Nothing, I swear.
Andi, it was your welfare I was thinking about.
It It really was for the best.
Mom! Stop talking, I didn't tell her anything! What didn't you tell me? And what was for the best? Oh.
I get it.
You didn't leave when I was born.
You sent her away.
No.
I uh Bex: I tried talking to her last night.
She just wanted to be left alone.
I don't want her to think I sent you away.
Well, I know that's not what you think.
Because that's not what happened.
Mom, we've been having this fight for 13 years.
I've resigned myself to the fact that we'll never agree what happened.
But now Andi needs to know.
Well, we're not telling her your story.
Well, I certainly don't want her to hear yours.
Well, we gotta figure something out.
We can't just leave her stuck in his limbo.
I know.
I can't imagine how this is affecting her.
(heavy metal playing) What? Nothing.
Bex: Have a good day.
It's happening.
My worst nightmare is happening.
What's happening? She's turning into you.
And I can't watch.
Why would you wear all that stuff if you were just gonna take it off? I was making a point.
- Which was? - That if Cece's gonna make decisions without consulting me, there are going to be consequences.
Oh, that's good.
Because adults are always telling us about consequences.
And Cece deserves it.
She sent Bex away without even asking me.
You were a baby.
That's true, but it doesn't change how I feel.
And feelings aren't always rational, okay? Mine are.
(laughs) - You coming? - Yeah, just give me a second.
- What are you doing? - (water sloshes) I'm making a point, too.
An incredibly disgusting one.
Yo, Andi! Thanks again for yesterday.
That was fun.
Sure, anytime.
I'm really glad you said that.
Amber loved the makeup! But she hated my card.
"Happy Birthday.
From Jonah.
" It gets the job done.
She said she wanted more emotion-y stuff.
She gave it back so I can try it again.
Amber's really good at giving me second chances.
Yeah, that's, um, one of her many good qualities.
So, could you tell me what to write? Just write what you feel.
I don't know how to do that.
I just need something really nice that sounds like I wrote it.
Could you help me? Please? Sure.
Sure.
I have class right now, but, um maybe later.
Awesome.
Thanks, Andi.
You're a great pal.
(sighs) What are you smiling about? This.
Ugh.
Your sneakers are dripping on my sneakers.
They're not my sneakers.
Oh, no, you have that wild look in your eyes again.
Please tell me they're not My sneakers! Of course.
Why do you have them? And why are they wet? You stole my shoe yesterday, so, I stole yours.
And they may have gone for a little swim in the girls' room.
I didn't take your shoe! Oh, really? Then who did? No one.
It was in my mom's car.
Must've fallen out when we gave you a ride home the other day.
Wanna skip to the part where we're laughing about this? No.
Is there something you wanna say to me? I'll replace these.
Yeah, you will.
But those weren't the words I was looking for.
What's his problem? Just a guess? I think he wanted you to say "I'm sorry.
" Why didn't he just say so? Maybe he wanted you to come up with the idea on your own? I can't be trusted to come up with ideas on my own! Exhibit A.
- Hey! - Hey.
What happened to your new look? Was Cece freaked out? Oh, yeah.
Then it served its purpose.
Are you looking for someone? Nope.
Let's get out of here.
But I don't wanna go home.
Me neither.
Great, so where are we going? Home.
But I just said I thought you said we were going home.
We are.
This is where we live now.
What? Welcome home.
Bex: Next, on Andi Mack What's going on with your pants? Andi: Bex did the laundry.
It smells like kiwi.
Andi: It's like this adventure Did we blow another fuse? that I didn't know I was going on.
Andi: We haven't spoken to Cece since we left.
It's not like we're still fighting.
I think you should call them.
I think she should call me.
Andi: Now it's more a game of chicken.
Can't you guys just move back? I don't think that's an option.
Hey-hey!
