01x13 - How We Tried to Crash a Party

[bunniefuu]

♪ When will the time be the right time ♪

What up, Bloomies?

As you can probably tell

by all the candles,

white linen and whale sounds,

we're at a super-fancy spa right now.

We've had a crazy week

with the Music Icon Awards and all,

so this is the perfect place to unwind.

Also fun fact, whale sounds

make me very sleepy.

This spa actually has special significance

in Electric Bloom history.

One of our wildest high school adventures

brought us here.

So instead of picking

an Ask Us Anything today,

we wanna tell that story.

Tulip, wanna start?

[snoring]

-Tulip!

-One of our wildest

high school adventures brought us here.

Yup. we know.

That's the story we're about to tell.

Oh, cool. You guys need me or can I just--

We got it.

It all started on a day that turned

into one of the most

memorable nights of our lives.

Attention, please.

I have an announcement

about Student Appreciation Week

that I have to make

whether I want to or not.

The Buzzy is giving away

three free tickets

for a surprise mystery fun night to

whoever gets to the counter first, so--

I did it! I'm first!

Woo-hoo, Pose! Mystery night for us!

Man, she hears announcements

like a dog whistle.

Looks like we have a winner.

A new student, I'm guessing?

It's Posey.

We know each other from, like, every day.

Also, I have a few quick questions.

Um, at what point

will the mystery be revealed?

Also, when you say "mystery night,"

do you mean "night" or "early evening?"

Also, will it be indoors or outdoors?

Like, do I need to wear layers--

I don't do questions.

I'm just gonna give the prize to Joey.

Seriously?

That's another question.

I'm sure it wasn't anything great.

Joey, enjoy those

three tickets to Lady Gaga

and free dinner at La Fromage Y Queso.

Yes! Gaga!

Whoo!

Posey! We love Lady Gaga!

And restaurants

with multicultural cheeses!

I'm sorry. I love a surprise.

I just like to know what the surprise is

before I get surprised so

I can make my surprise face.

Maybe you need to be a little

more spontaneous. Go with the flow.

Yes! You need

a "Go with the Flow Day," Posey!

A whole day where you embrace

every exciting opportunity

the universe presents to you.

-That sounds--

-Incredible?

-Liberating?

-Absolutely horrible.

Also, I can so go with the flow.

Look. One of my shoes is untied,

but I can be chill about it.

I can leave it untied for as long as--

I could have died.

Okay, maybe I could go

with the flow a little more.

-Yes!

-Wait for it.

-I do have a few questions though.

-There she is.

When you say "day,"

is this a typical 24-hour situation or--

Okay. No más preguntas, niña. Vámos.

♪ When will the time be right time ♪

Ooh, I'm loving this new song.

Yeah. Look, Pose,

I know you had to go through

some pain and drama

with Lucas to get inspired,

but totally worth it

for a new song, right?

[laughs] Was it?

Also, did you guys notice

how I missed a note and just kept going?

That's why they call me,

"Go with the Flow-sey."

Yeah, but you stopped playing

during the bridge to retie your shoes.

I could have died!

[cell phone ringing]

Janine's calling me?

She's never called me.

Then why do you have

her number in your phone?

What, you guys haven't

entered every number

from the school directory

into your phone?

-No.

-You have a problem.

[Janine] OMG. Did you hear

about the party tonight?

It's at Ava Bradley's house.

She's a senior

who just transferred to our school,

and we're like really good friends.

I mean, I barely know her,

but we're pretty close.

Also, we're enemies in a fun way.

And get this. Her mom is

Stephanie Bradley, the music producer.

Wait. Stephanie Bradley?

Oh, my gosh! Thank you for telling us.

Yeah, it's so cool you would invite us.

Wait, Posey? I meant

to call my friend, Priya.

I must have pressed Posey by accident.

I have the entire school directory

saved on my phone.

See?

Man, Priya is gonna laugh

so hard when I tell her this.

Actually, she had gossip

yesterday and didn't tell me

so I'm not gonna tell her.

I'm gonna tell her.

A party at Stephanie Bradley's house?

She's like a big-time music producer.

And her last name

is Bradley Cooper's first name.

Your thing is probably more

relevant to us than my thing.

We have to go to that party.

But we don't know the address.

Quick, call her back! Call her back!

[sighs]

[groans]

She's not picking up.

Oh, well, fun while it lasted.

Back to the music.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Oh. I'm not holding my guitar. [chuckles]

Nice try, Pose.

Here's what we're gonna do.

Find that party, sneak in,

play our new song.

Stephanie Bradley will hear it, love it,

and we'll record our first album tonight.

I'm in. Great plan, Jade.

To be clear, that's not really a plan.

It's more like a list of unrealistic

things you hope will happen.

Posey, might I remind you

this is your go-with-the-flow day?

So I just go along with the plan

no matter how illogical, impractical,

or potentially dangerous it is?

She's in!

Great, 'cause I just found

Ava Bradley's social.

Cool! DM her.

Oh, good idea, Posey.

"Hey, cool new senior.

It's me, a rando freshman.

Can you please write me back,

even though you have no idea who I am?"

You're coming off really desperate.

Oh! She's at a spa in Hoboken right now.

We'll just go there and say to her face,

"Hey, cool new senior.

It's me, a rando freshman.

Can you please invite us to your party?"

No notes!

-I'll text Rhonda.

-Yes!

Wait. Who's Rhonda?

Oh. She's a driver

my family uses sometimes.

We actually have credit with her

because she took us

to a wrong airport one time.

And by one time, I mean a lot.

Awesome. Book Rhonda.

Already did!

Very cool. We got Rhonda,

a party at Ava's,

Janine called us.

Let's just flow right on out of here

and add some more names to the mix.

Attagirl, Posey, Let's party.

-[phone chimes]

-Oh. Just got an alert.

Rhonda's on her way.

To the airport.

What is she doing?

Classic Rhonda.

So, while we waited for Rhonda,

The Vince and Lucas were about to embark

on an adventure of their own

after what I'm sure

was a very cool handshake.

Uh! Come on.

Oh, yeah.

[both grunting]

[both] Three!

[both grunting]

By the way, I got a hot tip

on some upcoming cultural events

if you're looking to take Shelly Sharp out

for a sophisticated night on the town.

How do you feel about bouncy houses?

They're my second favorite kind of house.

-What's your first favorite?

-Igloos.

Also, Shelly and I

aren't together anymore.

What? How did I not know that?

I'm kidding. I'm The Vince.

Of course, I knew that.

You didn't know, did you?

Hey, I'm a one-man operation.

Give me a break.

So, you obviously ended things with Shelly

because you like Posey

and she likes you, right?

What? Posey likes me?

Yeah, she came back

to tell you at the dance.

I figured you knew.

Pretty much everyone at the school does.

Even I knew. Although the name of the girl

in the story escapes me.

Well, wait. If Posey actually likes me,

then I have to tell her

I like her back. Like, now.

Never mix romance with technology.

It diminishes the power

of the human heart.

I think you broke my phone.

Look at me, Lucas. You've got to tell

Posey how you feel in person.

You're right. I just need

to find out where she is.

Leave that to me.

I'll use every resource at my disposal.

[Posey] Hey, The Vince. I can't talk.

We're at that fancy spa in Hoboken.

She's at that fancy spa in Hoboken.

[upbeat music playing]

Hi. We're looking for someone

named Ava Bradley.

-Is she here?

-No.

Maybe yes. You don't get to know.

Oh, really? Well, maybe

this will help.

A punch card for a free froyo topping?

Still no, but I'm keeping this.

I'm getting raisins.

Lots of raisins.

-[Posey and Jade] Ew.

-Yum.

We just need to get in for one second.

Can we make an appointment?

An appointment day of?

In a spa of this caliber?

You make me laugh.

Well, you heard the woman. We tried.

She's very scary.

Let's just go with the flow on home now.

Look, we can't give up that easily.

We're not. I got this.

Tulip, we tried. It didn't work.

I'm sorry. Did I say "I" got this?

I meant Trixie's got this.

You just carry that around with you, or--

You want me to go through your bag

and see what's weird?

You were saying?

Now step back, doll face.

Trixie, Trixie, Trixie.

Ingrid. Bubby.

I have no appointment but Trixie

does not need an appointment.

Trixie is an appointment.

You catch my drift?

No, not really.

Oh, you will.

You're gonna catch it good. Like a cold.

Now pick up that appointment book

and pencil me in.

I thought you said Trixie

does not need an appointment.

Don't be obtuse.

Give me that book! Give it here!

[both grunting]

That's it! I want you girls out of my spa.

And I don't ever want to see

your faces in here again!

Oh, you won't see our faces

-What? What?

-What? Nothing. We have to go.

So then I said, "You're asking

if I want the essential oils?"

[chuckles] "Dahling, they don't call them

essential for nothing!"

[fake laughing]

All right. We're in.

We don't have much time.

-Let's fan out and find Ava Bradley!

-Okay.

[gasps]

Mr. The Vince. It's been a while.

Hey, Ingrid. Great to see you.

How are your roommates?

Still cats.

Do you two know each other?

Self-care is a big part

of The Vince's life.

We're looking for three girls.

Have you seen them?

Could you be more specific?

Sure. At first, you wouldn't think

they had anything in common.

But eventually,

you'll discover their differences

are what make them stronger.

Oh, yes, them.

I just kicked them out.

-What?

-Don't worry, we'll find them.

But, you know, while we're here,

you can get a facial

so when you see Posey,

your skin has a subtle glow.

I do like a glow.

Ingrid, I'll take my usual room.

Two cucumber waters, hold the cucumber.

Isn't that just water?

Hey, man, can I talk to you for a sec?

Don't embarrass me in front of my friend.

[mouths] Sorry.

Excuse us.

Hi. Is Ava Bradley in here?

No? Okay. Sorry to bother you.

Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

You look radiant.

She's not down here.

Not down here either.

Those were the last rooms.

She must have already left.

So we basically wasted two hours

slathering our faces in mud,

sneaking past a scary receptionist,

and giving away your free froyo topping.

Which, by the way, when are we gonna

circle back to the raisins?

-You're done?

-I'll do the rest in my head.

[Ingrid] Goodbye, Ms. Bradley. Thank you.

Miss Bradley. Do you think it's her?

[Ingrid] Have a fun party tonight.

Tell your mother,

Stephanie Bradley, I said hi.

It's her. Go, go, go!

[comical music playing]

Follow that car, Rhonda.

This is turning out to be

a much crazier night than I expected.

Tell me about it.

Um

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Peg.

Like leg, with a "P!" [chuckles]

[both] We got the wrong Tulip!

[pop music playing]

You see? This is what happens

when you go with the flow!

One minute, you're trying

to go to a party.

Before you know it,

you're grabbing random women from spas

and ruining their nights, too!

Oh, you're not ruining my night.

This is honestly the best day of my life.

Not helping, Peg!

Look, we can't lose Ava Bradley!

I'm calling Tulip to keep her posted

on where we're going.

Oh, she's probably worried sick.

[snoring]

I'll leave a message.

Tulip, there's been a mix-up.

I'll explain later.

New plan. Ava Bradley

is pulling up to Modern Vintage.

We're going in to talk to her.

Or, and I'm just spitballing here,

we go home and don't do that.

But, like, we can get wild

and have Rhonda take surface streets.

I'm so go-with-the-flow.

Just meet us at the thrift store.

Hey, I'm Peg. I'm part of this now.

Well?

You were right. I can actually feel

the toxins leaving my body.

Wait till you try the sea salt scrub.

It's heaven.

[Tulip] Hey, Jade. Got your message.

I'll meet you and Posey at Modern Vintage.

That was Tulip. She's meeting Posey.

-Let's go.

-But I didn't get my scalp massage.

-Good?

-You can honestly work here.

[upbeat music playing]

Ava Bradley! Ava Bradley! Oh.

And you're not Ava Bradley.

As you were.

We must have followed the wrong car.

First, Tulip. Now this guy?

Man, we are terrible

at recognizing people from the back.

That was our only way to get her address.

Give me your phone. I'll call Janine.

Maybe she'll pick up.

[phone vibrates]

-Hello?

-Janine. Are you at the party?

I so am.

And I'm using

the upstairs bathroom to call people

and tell them what they're missing out on

so they can feel jelly

and I can feel better about myself.

Okay, Janine, listen.

-[knock at door]

-Oh, hold on. One second.

OMG, it's you!

[whispers] I don't know who it is.

This party's so epic, right?

Sorry, you have to use

the bathroom downstairs.

I'm on the phone with someone.

[whispers] I don't know who it is.

Okay. Where were we?

Janine, we need

the address to that party, like right now.

Okay. Yeah, totally.

It's super-easy to remember.

It's 1221 Willow Drive.

1221 Willow Drive. Okay, thank you.

Or is it 2112 Willow Drive?

Or is it Willow Place? Willow Avenue?

Is it Riverside Way?

Just hurry up and get here already. Bye!

At least we kind of have an address.

Do we, Jade?

Does a brain surgeon say,

"I don't know. Just kind of cut here?"

There you are. What'd I miss?

We found Ava Bradley.

-Yeah, you did.

-But it turned out

it wasn't actually Ava Bradley.

I probably would've led with that part.

Next time. And sorry

we left you at the spa.

We thought we were grabbing you but it was

really some random lady named Peg.

Like leg? With a "P?"

Exactly!

Whoa, Peg, love the new look.

Thanks.

I can tell by the aroma

that a lot of people have worn these.

[gasps] You must be Tulip.

Heard so much about you.

Oh, man. This is so embarrassing.

I know nothing about you.

Want to go grab like a tea

or something and get into it?

I do love a good chai, but I can't.

Your friends' go-with-the-flow philosophy

has changed my life.

When I woke up this morning,

I was a top investment banker

on Wall Street. Seven figures.

But life led me on a journey

and I decided to embrace it.

I work here now!

She seems fun.

Come on. We gotta go. We have the address!

-Kinda.

-Good enough for me!

See ya, Peg! We'll have tea later.

Love you, bye!

Welcome to Modern Vintage.

Are we looking for anything special today?

Actually, yes. Three girls.

-Could you be more specific?

-Of course.

They're sort of a mismatched trio

with a fun and unlikely origin story.

Yes! They aggressively

friended me and changed my life.

In a good way!

They just left.

They're going to a big party.

Must be Ava Bradley's party.

I'll work my sources and find the address.

But you know, while we're here,

maybe we get you a cool vintage suit

so you look super-classy

when you see Posey.

What are your shoulders, like an 86? A 27?

I don't know how this thing works.

I'm new here. I'm Peg!

After the thrift store,

we drove around for over an hour

checking all the possible

address combinations

based on the vague info Janine gave us.

Unfortunately, none of the addresses

were the actual party.

[Jade] They were a costume shop.

[Posey] A French patisserie.

[Tulip] And an animal rescue sanctuary.

So we drove around a little more,

and eventually we did make it

to the right address.

But there was this mean man in a box

who didn't want to let us in.

[buzzing]

[man] Security. Can I help you?

You need to let us in. Like, now.

Like now, now, now, now.

[man] Okay, slow down.

Do you have the gate code?

-Gate code? We don't--

-1234!

Is it 1234?

[man] It was. Changed it yesterday. Sorry.

Okay, but you don't understand.

We have to get to Ava Bradley's party.

And before you ask,

I'm out of froyo punch cards!

[man] Oh, man. I would have

let you in if you had one.

Seriously?

[man] No. Anyway,

I can't let you through without a code.

And there's no other way in

unless you go down Emergency Room Hill.

Emer--

Emergency Room Hill?

[man] They call it that

because anybody who goes that way

usually ends up in the emergency room.

Or worse.

Anyhoo, have a good night.

Oh! And be careful backing up.

You don't wanna bump into

that rack of scooters there.

-Scooters, eh?

-What?

-What?

-What?

Nothing, we gotta go.

[suspenseful music playing]

Wow. It does seem quite a bit steeper

-once you're up here, doesn't it?

-It does. It does indeed.

[cell phone ringing]

It's Janine.

Hey, Priya, you gotta get to this party.

It's so fun.

Also, this band is so good. Listen.

-[rock music playing]

-[crowd cheering]

OMG, they stopped.

Now there's no music and they say

they're taking a 20-minute break.

-[door closes]

-Can you imagine?

No live music for 20 minutes.

If you know anyone in a band,

tell them to get here

and they could, like, totally play

for Stephanie Bradley.

Only if they get here

in the next 20 minutes.

See ya, Priya!

Guys, the stars have aligned.

She just gave us all the info we need.

We should just go to that party right--

Oh, yeah. The big scary hill.

[suspenseful music playing]

So there we were, at the top

of Emergency Room Hill.

The band at the party was on a break.

This was our shot.

Then Jade said the words

I'd always dreamed she'd say.

Posey, you were right.

[sighs] Let's just tell

that part of the story one more time.

Posey, you were right.

This is a bad plan.

Going with the flow

is dangerous and irresponsible.

Yeah, I wanna ride down there

but I also like being alive.

So

Let's go with alive.

Let's just go back the way we came

and go on home.

-No.

-What?

We're not going anywhere

except down that hill.

To quote Jade, "What?"

Look, I didn't spend the entire night

stepping outside

of my comfort zone to fail.

Not when we're this close,

not when our destiny's waiting for us

at the bottom of this

unfortunately named hill.

Stephanie Bradley has launched

some of the biggest names in music.

Are we gonna be one of them

or are we gonna play it safe?

Who's with me?

Hands in.

Let's ride.

[rock music playing]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Whoo!

We didn't make it.

To the party or the bottom of the hill.

We're lucky we're alive.

And even though I still like plans

and question things from time to time,

my friends were right.

Going with the flow

can lead to the unexpected.

And in this case, the unexpected

was one of the best nights of our lives.

[all laughing]

You should have seen your face

when you were going down the hill.

It was like [screams]

Me? You were like [screams]

Okay. Do my face, do my face.

-[both screaming]

-[giggles]

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, shh. Peg's calling.

Wait, Peg has your number?

Yeah, we bonded very quickly.

What up, P-Money?

Chillin', T-Dawg!

Listen, I know this is last minute,

but we're having an all-night sale

at Modern Vintage.

How would you guys

like to come right now and perform?

Really? Is it cool with the owner?

It's cool with the new owner.

Me. I own this place now!

-Wow.

-Go, Peg.

That happened very fast.

Thanks for asking us to perform, Peg,

but it's kind of late.

For people who don't go with the flow.

[all cheering]

Uh, so is that a yes?

[all] Yes!

[Posey] By the way,

we didn't know it then,

but it turns out that

even though we didn't

make it to the party that night,

a certain someone did.

Oh, um, Janine,

do you know where Posey is?

I have something I need to tell her.

Oh, yeah. she was definitely here,

but she just left.

-She did?

-Yeah.

She was dancing all night with some guy.

It seemed like a real connection, too.

Like, I saw sparks.

There was a small kitchen fire,

but whatevs.

Those two are gonna

hard launch soon for sure.

Wait. Did I say Posey met a guy?

I meant Priya.

Oh, well. I'm sure it's not a big deal.

Sorry, man.

You really tried.

Thanks. I guess

it just wasn't the right time.
