Backstage (2016) s01e18 Episode Script

Previously I took it to see where you got your samples, but you made them because you're DJ Diamond Mind! Keep your voice down! - I talked with your parents.
- Denzel, what have you done? She's gone, and it's all my fault.
- Julie! - I'm so happy you're back.
What if the open house theme was both? "Me and We.
" Or "We vs.
Me.
" I'll admit it.
There was a time when I liked B, but I'm totally into Jenna now.
I have a choice: Break her heart or give her hope.
- What did he say? - Yeah, he's totally into you.
- I knew it! - The new addition to the Primas will be Carly and Sasha.
Congratulations to our two new recruits.
(electronic music) (sighs) - Do you have something to say? - Me? No.
Why? (sigh) (grunt) Just say it! You and I aren't talking! But I do need to talk.
Being a Prima is supposed to be an honor.
This feels like a punishment.
Just keep your head down, do what Cassandra wants and be invisible.
I don't do invisible.
Sasha can whine all he likes, but I'm not pulling a Vee and getting kicked out of the Primas.
That means no complaining, no pushing myself beyond my physical limitations and most importantly no distractions.
- Excuse me? - FREEZE! I just cleaned that.
Who knew ballerinas were such neat freaks? Stop! You have obviously wandered down the wrong hallway.
This is a dance studio, not a skateboard park.
I've got some bad news.
You missed a spot.
Just back up and back off, buddy.
- What a jerk.
- Major.
He walked all over my clean floors! You mean exactly like you're doing? Oh, come on! Guess you must have been distracted.
My eyes are open But I cannot see And I'm up and walking Still feels like a dream Until our eyes adjust I guess We're only feeling in the darkness Oh ah oh We just need a spark To light up the dark I can feel you with me I can feel you with me We just need a spark To light up the dark I can feel you with me I can feel you with me We just need a spark (school bell ringing) Oh! Almost forgot.
The theme of the Open House has been announced.
It's "We vs.
Me.
" - What's that supposed to mean? - You can explore identity, community, self.
The possibilities are endless.
So put on your thinking caps and come up with something great.
Class dismissed.
Do we get graded on this? Oh! Uh, yeah.
It's worth like 30% of our mark.
Maybe you and I should work tog - Hi, Jaxy! - Hey! These two need to break up.
Stat.
- It's so good to see you! - Good to see you! So this Jax and Jenna disaster is lasting a lot longer than I thought.
He really digs her.
Pff.
He can't dig her that much.
- See you later.
- Miles told me that Jax has feelings for me.
Not that I even care.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Hey, Bee.
- Anca.
Bianca.
I was wondering if I could get your help with something.
I've got a lot on my plate, so - It's kind of embarrassing.
- I'm listening.
Jax told me a little fiblet yesterday.
- A fiblet? - A little fib.
A lie.
- A little lie.
- Let's move on.
Since you guys are in the same program and Jax says you guys are buds - "Buds"? I was wondering if you could keep an eye on him.
Find out if he and Kit are more than just friends.
There's no way Jax is cheating.
He's the greatest guy ever.
Of course.
I'll look into it.
(vocal warm-up) I'm so excited for the "We vs.
Me" theme for the Open House.
What are you doing for your project? - I was thinking - 'Cause I'm going to pursue my dream of making a music video starring wait for it the entire school! Julie's going to be so impressed! You do realize that I came up with the entire "Me" portion, right? It's not personal.
I just like hers better.
Why are you so fixated on Julie? What's new with me? Oh, you know, my hero and unofficial mentor hates me because I got her kicked out of Keaton.
Have you guys even spoken since she got back? She yelled "no" at me at the student council meeting.
- Does that count? - No.
You need to talk to her about how you're feeling.
It is my fault that she got pulled out of Keaton.
Come on.
We'll go talk to her together.
No! There's no time.
I have an epic music video to shoot.
Fine.
But do you have a singer yet? I'll figure out the little details later.
First, I have to spread the word! And 5, 6, 7, 8! What is he doing here? Hey, Suds.
Solid work on these floors.
I can see my own face.
Try not to let it ruin your day.
Excuse me, Ms.
Helsweel, but why is this person filming our class? Shouldn't we fill out a permission slip? This young man is a film student.
Principal Durani asked him to collect footage of the different disciplines for the Keaton website.
He's the best in his program.
Must be a pretty small program.
Like exclusive.
Can Film Boy please move? He's right in my eye line! Focus, Carly.
I gotta be where I gotta be, Suds.
- Stop calling me that.
- Ms.
Catto, focus.
It wasn't my fault! He was holding the camera right in my face! I assumed you were familiar with the term "filming.
" Don't be alarmed, ladies.
The camera's fine.
- Ladies? - Ms.
Catto, that was not Prima behavior.
Sit the next one out.
It was my fault, not hers.
I got sloppy with my camera work.
Well, that's okay then.
Besides, that kick will make a great action shot for the website.
(Jax): It was insane! Yeah, the DJ walked off the stage and I swear, everyone started like, laughing.
It was hilarious! I know! I couldn't believe it myself.
It was purple, no one knew what it was.
It was so funny! Jackson! Whoa! Fancy running into you here.
- This is the music hallway.
- Ha! Ha! - See y See you! - You're adorable.
Um, thanks.
I was thinking after next period we could hang out and catch up on, you know, life stuff.
Oh! Um, I I can't.
Umm I have this thing that I have to do.
- How about after school? - Oh, there's this other thing.
- That's a lot of things.
- Um, yeah, well, Jenna's going through something at home, so I'm going to go meet up with Jenna.
What is this boy up to? Are Jax and Kit? Whoa.
Wait.
I'm not his first choice, I'm not his second choice.
Bianca Blackwell does not do bronze! First meeting for my epic new music video! Come check it out at the gym at 3:30.
Julie Maslany.
Nice to see your smiling face back - Yeah, what's up? I'm on my way.
- Good talk.
Miles! Miles, my man! - You want something.
- Pff.
No Fine! I want to know what Kit and Jax were up that day when you walked in on them.
They were just hanging out.
- Not helpful.
- Watching something.
- Like a rom com? - How am I supposed to know? Why are they suddenly hanging out all the time? Is something happening? - It's not really our business.
- Miles, he's with the wrong girl.
He has feelings for me, remember? Of course I remember.
I remember lying to protect Bianca's feelings.
Do you think he's dating Jenna to make me jealous? Oh! Is he dating Kit to make me confused? 'Cause I think it's working.
- Is he - Bianca.
Jax never said he liked you.
But you told me I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
I wanted you to have hope.
I am done with boys.
Done.
As friends, as more than friends, as anything.
NO MORE BOYS! Hey, guys! Um You're in my Bianca? Okay So any brain waves for the big end-of-year open house? Girls against boys.
Girl band versus boy band.
We use different songs, we rehearse separately, we perform separately.
To express the division between the genders.
We versus them.
That's a sweet idea.
Back off, Y Chromosome! Jax doesn't like me? Fine.
But Jenna seems to be a nice enough person.
She deserves to know if her boyfriend is seeing someone else on the side.
But first, I need proof.
- This stuff is disgusting.
- Looks nasty.
Green juice for the Primas.
Hunter green, not forest, just the way Cassandra likes it.
Cassandra will freak if she sees your bag there.
Don't be silly.
She's not a dictator.
My green juice! Hunter not forest! Well done, Recruit.
Point taken.
Recruit! Why don't you join us? Not you.
Her.
Very impressive.
Eyes forward, Carly.
Sorry.
Okay, everyone stop! Sasha and Carly: Helsweel chose both of you to join my elite group of dancers, but Amy and I think it messes with the numbers.
Don't we, Amy? I cut your little friend from the Primas.
I can cut you.
Every day here is an audition.
Remember that.
(electronic music) How sweet! Jax and Kit are bonding over their love of horrible music.
I think you put it right next to the sewing machine.
- Where did you put the drive? - I swear, you had it last.
We have to be more careful.
You're such a disaster! A delightful disaster? Sure.
Let's go with that.
Look, I'm sorry.
Really.
This thing we're doing is so important to me.
It has been pretty awesome.
And sorry about Jenna poking around.
She won't find out.
I promise.
I just wish we didn't have to lie about it, especially to Jenna.
I don't want anything to ruin what I have with her.
What do you expect me to do? Come out as DJ Diamondmind to save your relationship? I wasn't actually asking.
Now let's get back to work.
Wait.
What?! Kit is DJ Diamondmind? And that's when we found a chipmunk in his lunchbox eating an apple.
It was crazy.
You! You are trouble.
Couldn't be talking about me, Suds.
I'm a saint.
You've been trying to distract me all day.
Actually, I haven't.
Why? Do you find me distracting? I That's not what I meant.
What is it about me exactly that you find distracting? You know, so I can dial it back.
You're twisting my words around! - Oh! Is that distracting too? - Just leave me alone, okay? That's all I'm asking.
Your wish is my command.
Yes, I have feelings for Jax.
Yes, Jax is with Jenna, but he's not dating Kit on the side.
He chose Jenna.
He likes Jenna.
And I need to be honest and let them be happy.
Where's that smile been all day? I'm sorry I was rude to you in class.
You, rude? That doesn't sound right.
Shut up, weirdo! Oh! Your idea for the open house, the girl band/boy band thing? It's genius! - Thanks.
- But it's too bad we won't get to work together this term.
We made a good team.
Hey! B! So what'd you find out? He likes Kit, right? He's dating Kit? He's, um Yes.
He's dating Kit.
I'm so sorry.
Thanks, Bianca.
It's nice to have somebody I can trust.
I know.
I know.
I don't want to hear it! I hear every student was invited.
Did you forget that I was back? You can't be here right now.
You're not supposed to see this part! - Why didn't you invite me? - I thought if I waited until I had something magical to show you, you wouldn't be so mad at me.
Mad? I'm not mad.
Oh, please! You haven't even said hi! You barely even looked at me at the student council meeting.
I'm so sorry, Denzel.
I'm just swamped, with algebra and PSATs and student council and art, I guess I haven't had much time to be a friend.
Relationship with hero back on track! I'm the only one who showed up, huh? Whatever.
It was a stupid idea anyways.
It's a great idea, Denzel! No one's ever done a music video for the open house.
We could even organize a screening.
That's what I was thinking! Whoa! We're so connected! What's the video about? Hi! Wow! Sorry.
I just sprinted from the studio.
Am I late? Very late.
How'd it go? Did everyone show up? Everyone who matters.
That's it! I know what the story is! It's about the "Me" feeling alienated from the "We.
".
About trying to fit in.
I show up and you have a lightbulb moment.
Coincidence? That's a great idea, Denzel.
Now, you just need a star.
- Why didn't I think of that? - Yeah, why didn't you? Scarlett, I was wondering if Ah! You had me at star as long as you hire a makeup person.
HD can be a cruel medium.
(upbeat music) Hello? Why is he leaving me out? I need to be on the website doing something other than kicking the camera.
Hopefully a 5-minute water break will bring you back from the dead.
So what was that about? - Very mature.
- Hey! You asked me to leave you alone.
I'm just respecting your request.
- Fine.
Whatever.
- Unless you've changed your mind? I most definitely have not.
What are you up to this weekend? Why? I'm thinking of hitting the beach and you wouldn't be the worst company.
We can talk about floor wax and soap if that'll make you happy.
I already told you: You're a distraction.
Why would I want to go to the beach with a distraction? Plus, I burn easily.
Pretty sure he got the message.
- I respect your decision.
- Thank you.
But I have to warn you: There's nothing I love more than a challenge.
Other than, you know, sunscreen.
(Jax, sobbing): She won't even tell me why she was breaking up with me.
(Miles): It's going to be okay.
I don't know why she broke up with me.
We had everything.
It was perfect.
I guess I got what I wanted.
(Miles): She doesn't know what she lost.
