Give it up for your Tate Reilly cheerleaders!
I really have to go.
Wow, it was such an honour to perform for you tonight.
I know some of you are alumni who don't get to go
to games anymore, so thank you for inviting us here.
You had fun?
Yes?
Now, let's wish our ladies good luck as they
embark on a new school year, and we do hope you
keep cheering them on, even if it's all the way from here.
Oh, come on, guys.
-Hi. -Hello.
Oh, I love it when my wife goes to stay with her mother.
ready okay mr.
Michaels this is your lucky day I love
when you talk to you later
♪
Thank you.
I can't believe my baby's actually leaving the nest.
Mom, school is less than an hour away.
And you know I'm gonna come home all the time to help with the dance studio.
Still, I never thought I'd miss telling you to clean
up your room or yelling at you to turn down your music.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll still find plenty of reasons to yell at me.
Hey.
Have you heard from Dad?
I just thought he might call me before I left.
Hmm.
And you know your father.
Okay, I know that tone of voice.
How late is he this time?
I think a month on child support and a couple months on alimony.
Really?
It just doesn't make any sense.
I mean, he paid my first semester tuition.
I don't want to talk about your dad or money on the biggest day of your life.
Come over here.
I want you to have something.
Your favorite necklace?
Mom, I can't.
Yes, you can.
Besides, it's for selfish reasons.
I don't want you to forget about your dear old mom.
Mom, this is so sweet.
I'm proud of you.
My daughter, the veterinarian.
Okay, I still have four more years of school and then
another four years of grad school before you can call me that.
You'll get there.
You've always been a hard worker.
I learned from the best.
College, here we come.
-Yep. -Woo! -All right.
We're going to college.
Are you ready to live it up in Philly?
I've only been waiting 18 years for this.
I just hope they have some kind of healthy options for dorm food.
Oh, you didn't hear?
There's a 24-hour ice cream bar with toppings.
Freshman 15, here we come.
Just promise me we'll work out every day.
Maybe not every day.
♪
Somehow it's even better than when we were here for the tour.
It's because we officially go here now.
I can't wait for our first keg party.
I know, me too, but we really have to focus on school.
We will, but Cute Boys 101 is definitely part of my curriculum.
I guess the boys here will be cuter than they are in Doylestown.

I bet those girls are campus queens.
Best cars, clothes.
Wow.

How are there so many hot guys on campus?
Well, it's not high school in Doylestown.
I love it here, honestly.
Gabby?
Alyssa, you go here now?
Yeah, yeah, I'm a freshman.
Wow, you're a cheerleader.
Yeah, go Tigers.
We were camp counselors together.
I hooked up with the hottest counselor at Birch Bay.
Remember, Tyler Ridley?
We were 16.
I actually went down a bad path that summer.
Sorry, this is my best friend, Cassie.
-Hi. -Hey, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too. You both are dancers.
No way.
What's your specialty?
Kind of a mix of everything.
I do hip hop, ballet, tap, jazz.
Cool.
So what are you guys majoring in?
Psychology.
Bio. We just came back from the bookstore, $500 later.
Yeah, I'm gonna be destitute for the next decade.
Cassie, right?
Have you ever thought of cheerleading?
Oh, well, I cheerleaded a bit at my high school, but did you mean here at Tate?
Yeah, triads are today at 3.30 in the gym.
Three girls are graduating, and Monica, well, Monica got
kicked off the squad last summer, so there's spots available.
Ouch.
So what do you say?
I'm a little bit rusty.
Oh, no, it's like riding a bike.
And you know that dancers make the best cheerleaders.
You should totally do this, Cass.
Yeah, it's a great group of girls.
Opens a lot of doors on campus.
Plus, it looks really good on a resume.
We do a lot of charity work.
Um, I just don't really think I'd fit in.
I think you would.
I hope to see you there.
Let me know.
And I'll see you around on campus.
-Good to see you. -Bye.
Gabby is the key to all of the good parties on campus.
What did she mean that she went down a bad path?
I mean, she had some bad drug issues in the past, but she seems fine now.
So, what do you say?
Rah, rah, this is boomba.
I mean, vet school does look at extracurriculars.
You are so doing this.
-Stop! -Give me a break.
♪
Hey, Cassie, you're not planning on leaving, are you?
Oh, um, I guess I'm just a little nervous.
Don't be. You're gonna be great. What's under this tent?
Just a T-shirt.
Okay, yeah, take it off.
This sweater?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, we can work with this.
-Yeah. -No. -Yeah, no, that's better.
Much better.
Come. Come here, girls.
Ladies, this is Cassie.
Hi.
-Hi. -Brianna, head cheerleader.
Rachel.
-Hi. -Natalie.
And this is our cheer coach.
Stephanie Dodger.
Cassie Talbott. Where are you from, honey?
Doylestown.
Oh, my grandmother lives there.
What a sweet town.
My mom owns a dance studio there.
Right, Gabby told me you're a triple threat.
Jazz, ballet, and tap, right?
Yeah, I guess you could say that.
I hope Gabby also told you that I'm a little rusty.
I haven't cheerleaded in a while.
Oh, yeah, but don't worry about that.
I had the same nerves as you.
-Really? -Oh, yeah. -And now look at me.
All these years later, and I'm still here.
This squad is like a family.
You'll see.
Well, good luck.
Thank you.
Come on.
Bye.
Hello, ladies.
Thank you all for coming to this year's cheerleading tryouts.
We only have four spots open, so unfortunately, I will be
saying goodbye to some of you at the end of the day today.
So bring your best pom-pom forward, OK?
All right.
Go.

A little rough around the edges, but perfectly naive.
She'll fit in perfectly.

Nice.
Hey, look, there's Gaby.
Oh, my gosh, she's so cute.
Yeah, she could use some new clothes, though.
Yeah, obviously.

You ready to be transformed from shy girl to siren?
You and Gaby are going shopping.
Oh, um, I actually have class in three hours.
Oh, perfect, just enough time to burn this.
Ew.
Um, I don't really have the money to go shopping right now.
A fairy godmother of sorts gives the cheerleaders money for clothes and makeup.
A fairy godmother?
Generous alumni.
Looking good as part of the package.
You think these guys come just for the athletes?
They come for us, too.
That kind of sounds like something out of a fairy tale.
Well, perfect.
Come on, Cinderella.
Have fun, you guys.
Bye.
This will be so much fun.
Wow, you look great.
Thanks. Check out that hair and makeup.

What is she doing?
Best kept secret on campus.
Yeah.
Why don't you take this $1,000 and buy yourself something nice?
Thank you, Mr. Tanner.
Morning.
How was last night?
It was good.
Good?
What did I miss?
Well, it was an interesting night.
Okay, I know that face.
Spill.
Well, I saw Gabby.
Oh, cool, at the restaurant?
No, she was outside of a hotel.
And she was dressed really fancy.
Oh.
Well, she probably just had a function.
I mean, the cheerleaders are involved with so much stuff in the community.
Yeah.
I guess.
When's your big game?
Two weeks from Saturday.
You look stressed.
I am stressed.
I just, I have so many routines to learn, and I'm
really nervous I'm gonna forget them in front of a crowd.
If anyone's got this, it's you.

The first big game is tomorrow.

What is it?
It's about your dad.
Oh.
Did he finally call?
No.
Um, he's off the grid again.
What?
Yeah, I have no idea where he is, and
it's been over a month since I heard from him.
A month?

Ugh, I didn't want to worry you at school.
Oh, God, school.
How am I supposed to pay for second semester?
It's definitely too late to apply for financial aid.

I just don't think I'm gonna be able to continue cheering.
Listen, we're like sisters on the squad.
You can tell me anything.
My dad was supposed to pay for my tuition and it
was not, so I'm gonna have to get a job and I
just don't think I can make cheerleading work with that.
There's no way a minimum wage job is gonna cover tuition.
Yeah, I know I'm screwed.
You know, maybe not.
Okay, you know those two guys that were watching us during the game?
Yeah, what was that about?
Okay, well, I'm dating one of them.
His name's John.
Oh.
What?
Uh, he's just older than us?
He's not that old.
Besides, I teach him how to have fun
again, and he helps me out from time to time.
I...
What do you mean, he helps you out?
When I'm having trouble making rent, tuition, stuff like that.
Gabby, are you sleeping with him?
Yeah, because I want to.
And I like him.
Don't be so judgy.
No, I'm sorry, I...
Can I say something?
Between us as friends?
Sure.
I'm not the only one.
The other girls in the squad are with alumni, too.
Really?
Yeah, it's harmless.
I mean, they get to hang out with arm candy, half their
age, and we don't get saddled with debt for the next century.
And the guy that was watching you, Terry Dunes, he's
the alumni president, and he's a single successful lawyer.
I could tell he really likes you.
Likes me?
He doesn't even know me.
Please, he reads people for a living.
Plus, you give off really good vibes, and you're beautiful.
Cassie, he could help you.
I just don't know if it's for me, you know?
Oh, live a little.
Look, I can set up a double date tonight.
We can go to Terry's house.

Great game.

Ooh, check you out.

No, you look hot.

No, I haven't heard from him.
Yeah, he's, um, he's ignoring my calls, too, so...
I'm going to swing by the condo and see if I can find anything out.
And I've got a meeting set up with the bank to look into our options.
Well, that's great.
Thanks for setting all that up.
Um, I love you so much, Mom.
I love you more.
And I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
-I'll talk to you later. -Bye.
That sounded serious.
Yeah, it's just my deadbeat dad disappearing and
leaving me on the hook for 20 grand in tuition, so...
Hey, maybe I could talk to my parents,
and they could give you a loan or something.
I mean, they love you like their own daughter.
That's so sweet of them.

Doylestown.

Can I ask you a question?
I'm an open book.
How old are you?
I was born in 1950.
I am messing with you.
Are you kidding?
That'd make me 69.
Sorry, on the spot math is not my strong suit.
I'm 45.
Why do you want to date a woman half your age?
Older women have baggage.
They want the house.
They want kids.
They want the lifestyle.
I'm just not ready for that yet.
Can I ask you a personal question?
Sure.
How are you paying your way through college?
Um, my mom and my dad.
Or at least I think so.
My dad's kind of disappeared, and my mom's dance studio is barely
covering the rent, so I guess I may have to figure something else out.
Oh, good.
Hey, guys.
Hey.
I'm gonna take Gabby home, because the wife is nagging me.
Uh, you're leaving?
Yeah, but it looks like you guys are having a good time.
I'd say that's a yes.
Can you stay a little longer?
Um, yeah.
Yeah, I think I can.

What? No. Also, why didn't you tell me that John's married?
It's no biggie.
He's leaving his wife anyways.

Good point.
It's just after I quit my high school
cheerleading team, I wasn't part of the cool crowd anymore.

She does.
She does some part-time consulting.
She doesn't really have to, though.

Yeah.
She must have been hot in college.
Cassie.
I'm sorry about your mom.
Thanks for all your calls.
It's so scary to think we could've lost her.
I know.
And now we have even more debt, so...
a big mess.
Any word from your dad?
Oh, he lost his job.
Didn't bother to tell us.
Wow.
Yeah.
Dad of the year.
Hey.
Kyle.
You look nice.
Thanks, uh, cheerleading pink.
Where you been?
I haven't seen you in class, and you haven't returned my calls.
I had a family emergency, so I had to go home.
Everything okay?
Yeah, it will be.
Um, I just came by to see if you needed homework from class.
That's really nice.
Can I pick it up from you later?
I'm actually running late.
Sure.
I will see you around.
Good night.
You are so tense.
There's just a lot going on.
We can take things as slowly as you'd like.
You know that I always treat you with the utmost respect, right?
I know.
Come with me.
♪
Your time
That was a nice night, though.
Thanks.
I should head back to school.
No, no, no, no.
You know, I...
I really should go.
You're really no fun.
Oh.
Who could that be?
Hey man, what's up?
Yeah, I just found out the wife is going to be at the party tonight.
Coming home early from her sister's.
That's a drag.
Yeah, tell me about it.
I don't want you to glance sideways without that evil eye.
You're lucky to be single.
Look, I can't talk right now, okay?
Who was that?
No one important.
Are you sure you can't stay?
You know, what could be more important than us right now?
Well, practice, for one.
With the party coming up, Stephanie's really cracking the whip.
Plus, I have that meeting with the financial department, so...
You still having problems?
Yeah.
Well, maybe I could help.
That's really sweet, but I'm gonna try and figure it out.
You figure it out.
I'll be here.
Have a good day.
You too.
-It's-A-L... --O-T. --O-T.
So, there's really no way I can apply for financial aid for next semester.
My parents are having trouble with tuition.
Well, unfortunately, you've missed the deadline, but it
looks like $5,000 was paid to your balance just this morning.
What?
Oh.
And, good news, we can arrange a delayed payment
plan that will give you more time to pay the balance.
$15,000, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
-Hey! -What happened to you last night?
You didn't come home.
I ended up staying at Natalie's.
But I gotta go to practice, okay?
Okay.
I feel like I never see you anymore.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Look, I'll make it up to you after the gala's over, okay?
Okay.
-Forgiven. -Have a good day.
So, how are you feeling?
Like I just ate some bad sushi.
It's all good, though.
Morning sickness is part of the deal.
Are you still planning on telling John tonight?
Yeah.
His wife is out of town, so...
Hey, um,
I know it might not be my place to say anything,
but I'm just a little nervous that you might get hurt.
Oh, you don't have to worry about me.
I'm fine.
How's things with Terry going?
You didn't.
-Maybe. -Oh, I knew it.
You're glowing.
Is he, uh, taking care of you?
No.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
See you tonight?
Yeah.
-Hey. -Hey.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Sure.
So I didn't mean to snoop, but my pencil broke and
when I went in your desk, I found a $5,000 tuition receipt.
Oh.
My dad came through.
Why are you going through my stuff anyway?
I'm worried about you, Cass.
Don't be.
It's just a really busy time for me.
Make sure you do that shimmy as well, okay?
Um, right, yeah.
-Bye. -Um, I think John's here.
Hey.
-How are you? -What's she doing here?
Excellent.
Get us some drinks.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Hey, slugger.
There he is.
How you doing, brother?
Could it be better?
Oh, that's right.
You're here with the wife tonight, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
So, have you done the deed with Cassie?
I did.
Oh, I envy you, man.
I've got a wife and a woman on the side who thinks she's my wife.
One of them's got to go.
And it's not the one who's going to take me to the cleaners in a divorce.
Can I have your attention, please?
Can I get your attention?
Thank you.
So, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Stephanie Dodge.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm the Tate Riley cheer coach.
And I want to thank you all for supporting our scholarship program.
Together, we have raised nearly $3 million since we started this event.
All of those students were given a chance at a bright future because of you.
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for.

Cassie, Cassie, you were on tonight.
-Good work. -Thank you.
Um, hey, would you mind helping me out with the calendars?
Uh, sure.
I'm just gonna run to the restroom really quickly, okay?
Okay, sure.
How could you be so careless?
I thought you were using protection.
Well, I don't know.
I guess I forgot to take my bill.
This is unbelievable.
I have a family to think about.
And now you have this family.
This... Who cares about you? This isn't real, Gabby.
You told me you were leaving her.
Yeah, and I lied.
I'm having our baby.
The hell you are.
Either you're on board with this baby and
financial support, or I'm telling your wife.
You have till Monday.
You did not just threaten me.
Oh, but I did.
I will destroy you.
Let go of me.
Hey.
I heard what happened in the hall.
Are you okay?
Perfectly fine.
Cappy, what are you gonna do?
Have the baby?
He better come around.
I swear, these guys are all the same.
They only care about themselves.
Terry's just like John, you know?
Don't fool yourself.
No, Terry's different.
Don't grow up, Cassie.
It's all a transaction to them.
A transaction?
Sex and money.
Oh, you're so naïve.
Maybe I should have just listened to Monica.
Monica?
Eve mentioned her name before.
Is she the girl who got kicked off the team?
Yep.
It's all good, though. I'm not going to end up like her anyways.
I've got collateral.
We have a problem.
Hey, gorgeous.
Hey, fun night, right?
Yeah, I'm actually just on my way out.
Oh, I thought maybe we could go somewhere, grab a drink, talk.
Yeah, look, I'm beat.
Okay.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow?
Okay.
You were a superstar tonight.
Thank you.
Call Kyle
Hey Cassie, what's up?
I'm sorry to call.
I know it's late.
No worries. I'm just heading to friends I just
wanted to say I'm sorry for being so all over the
place lately And to thank you for bringing me those notes.
It was really nice I'm sorry.
I left so quickly.

Morning, honey.
I didn't hear you come in last night.
I was fast asleep, and you never said you were coming.
Sorry I didn't call.
I didn't want to wake you.
Well, it was a nice surprise to wake up and find you here.
Glad you got to sleep in.
Mom?
-Yes? -Who are those flowers from?
Um, a dad of one of my dancers.
Single dad.
Really?
He said that when I'm feeling up to it, he would love to take me for dinner.
So, what does this single dad do?
He's an accountant.
Well, boring is good sometimes.
I like boring.
How was your party?
It was okay.
Just okay?
It was good, Mom.
How are you feeling?
Hmm.
Better every day.
Good.
I have to tell you something, though.
We didn't get the financing at the bank.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
Between the mortgage and your tuition and
my hospital bills, we're in a bit of a spot.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I feel like this is all my fault.
No.
No, this is not your fault.
This is my fault.
I'm failing you as a mother.
-No. -No. -You are the best, Muttler.
Dad, did that stop us?
I have something that might cheer you up.
What?
I got a job.
And I've actually already paid off part of my tuition.
What?
It's at the research department on campus, and it pays really well.
Well, how did this come about?
Connections through cheerleading.
Wow.
Sweetie, this...
really takes the burden off our money issues.
Gosh, I'm so proud of you.

No.
I mean, I'm sorry.
It was just...

Hi.
Cassie, hi.
Baby, I am so sorry about last night.
Um, there's just endless handshakes at that event.
You know, being the alumni president means endless schmoozing.
So, please come over and let me make it up to you.
Uh, you know I'm with my mom right now?
Tell her something came up.
I miss my beautiful girl.
Please, I'll cook you dinner.

Okay.

Gabby, stop calling me.
Stop ignoring me!
Look, you can't keep the baby.
Don't tell me what to do.
I'll give you $25,000 to solve the problem.

You're the father of this child.
It's your responsibility for 18 years.
We make a plan, or I call your wife tomorrow.

All right, calm down.
Tell me what happened.

Not since the cocktail party.
Her cell keeps going to voicemail.
I think I'm gonna go to her place after practice just to check things out.
Good morning.
Morning.
Has anyone seen Gabby?
No.
-Huh. -Strange.
All right, well, first order of
business, we've got another big game this weekend.
And, as you might have heard, I'm being honored on Saturday
night by the college president for my philanthropic contributions.
Yes, thank you.
I'm so excited you'll be my guests at the awards dinner at Stefano's.

The only other person we know who's died is Heather's mom in high school.
Yeah.
You know?
Hey, will you give me a second?
Okay.
Brianna?
Can I talk to you?
Did you know that Gabby was pregnant?
Yeah.
She told me everything.
It's just that I heard her and John arguing at the alumni event, and...
So?
So she threatens to tell his wife, and all of a sudden, she ODs the next night?
She was a recovering addict, okay?
Her situation probably triggered her to use again.
She loved the jerk.
Did she?
Did she really love him?
Listen, these are very powerful men with a lot of influence.
Keep talking like this, and you can kiss your future goodbye.
This whole situation is wrong.

You've been so quiet since the reception.
I'm your best friend.
I can tell when something's wrong.
I think there might be more to Gabby's death.
What do you...
What do you mean?
Liz...
I've gotten caught up in something pretty bad.
♪
I'm happy you're not with him anymore.
Well, thanks for listening to me and always being there for me.
Friends for life, right?
Yeah, forever.
Liss, what do you think I should do about Gabby?
You could go to the police.
And say what, though?
That I think John murdered her without any proof?
I mean, he's a prominent businessman, and she has a history with drugs.
Plus, if I do that, I'll be exposing the other girls who date these guys.
True.
I can't believe I was so blind.
Hey, do you remember the first time we saw Gabby on the quad?
She mentioned a girl, Monica, had been kicked off the squad.
Vaguely.
It's just, she mentioned her again right before she died.
She said she should have listened to her.
About what?
I don't know, but I'm thinking I should talk to this girl.
Is she on campus?
No idea.
But, maybe I could find out.
Yeah, here she is, Monica Danforth.
She's not a student anymore.
Does she have social media?
Maybe.
Nothing.
Who doesn't have social media?
It's like she disappeared.
What was she studying?
Um, animal science.
Maybe she switched colleges.
Maybe.
No, nothing.
There she is, Monica Danforth.
She works at a horse sanctuary in Philadelphia.
I think I should go talk to her.
Monica?
Yes?
I'm Cassie Talbot.
I'm on the cheer squad at Tate.
Why are you here?
I wanted to talk to you about Gabby Sanders.
Gabby?
You haven't heard.
She died of an overdose.
No.
How is this possible?
I mean, she was clean.
She worked so hard on her sobriety.
It happened in her apartment on Sunday.
I can't believe this.
And why are you here?
I mean, you don't even know me.
She told me you two are friends.
Look, I know some of the girls, they date these older guys and then
they get things in return, but I just need to know if there's more.
Date?
Yeah, that's...
that's funny.
Why?
Monica, please, I won't say a word.
Okay, on the outside, the cheer squad seems
happy and perfect and shiny, but it is a dark place.
How so?
The cheerleading squad moonlights as an escort ring.
Yeah, cheerleaders sleeping with men for money.
It's been going on for years.
Were you...
with one of them?
Yeah, for a bit.
Terry Dunes.
Oh.
Yeah, he's one of the biggest players of them all.
I'm such an idiot.
Does Stephanie know?
Does she know?
Stephanie's the madam.
And she'll never be that she's got family money and some fake job.
But it all comes from the men.
I mean, behind the scenes, she gets a huge payout
every time a cheerleader sleeps with one of her clients.
And she uses her top girls, like Brianna, in your case,
Gabby, to target young girls who need money or have daddy issues.
Wow.
Yeah.
So is that why you quit school?
And the squad?
Because of the ring?
No, Stephanie paid me off to leave.
Why?
Because the man I was seeing became
obsessed with me when I tried to break it off.
I was actually afraid for my life.
And when I innocently went to Stephanie
for help, I discovered that she was the madam.
And instead of telling him to back off, she forced me out.
That's terrible.
Monica.
What if she did the same thing to Gabby, but ended things differently?
You mean murder?
You said it yourself.
Gabby was clean, and she was pregnant.
You know what? I guess I wouldn't put it past Stephanie.
Do you think I should go to the police?
You could.
But you're playing with fire.
Okay, these people are wealthy and powerful and
they will destroy you if you don't have solid proof.
Hi, Cassie.
Kyle, hi.
I need your help.
Could you meet me at my dorm room later?
-Sure. -Everything okay? -It will be.
Thank you.
Wow.
That's quite a story.
Yeah, it's not really my proudest moment.
Stop beating yourself up about it, Cass.
No, she's right.
I can't believe your cheer coach is behind this.
It's horrible.
I just want to make sure that it doesn't happen to any other girls.
Yeah.
And, on a better note, it's really cool that
Aunt Jenny will be coming back to Doylestown.
Yeah, the fact that she's buying half the studio and
is gonna work with my mom is really gonna help us out.
So, you said you had a plan?
Yes, and it involves both of you Saturday night.
Kyle, do you still have that friend from calculus that works at Stefano's?
Yeah.
Perfect.
Thank you all for coming this evening.
My name is Terry Dunes and I am the president
of the alumni and your emcee for this evening.
First of all, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to the mayor of this fine city.
And of course, we are all here on behalf of
President Shah, who will be speaking later.
The president is honoring two of our most dedicated alumni who
have selflessly given back to our university and our fine city.
My good friend, John Tanner.
And of course, the Tate Riley cheer coach, Stephanie Dodger.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Idiot.
The program will begin shortly.
Please enjoy your meal.
Yeah, it's okay.
Hello, Stephanie.
Monica?
What are you doing here?
I'm here because it didn't feel right.
You being honored for giving back to Tate and the community?
I've raised millions of dollars for the school.
I'd hardly call taking care of horny
alumni by using your cheerleaders giving back.
You're nothing but a college dropout.
You drove me out.
And how do you think your donors would feel if they found out
that their beloved cheer coach was running an escort ring at Tate?
who will protect her clients at any cost.
You know what?
I don't have to listen to this.
You're ruining lives, Stephanie.
Wow.
Don't act like you're so innocent, Cassie.
When you needed tuition money, you didn't
hesitate one bit to sleep with Terry Dunes.
And it was the biggest mistake of my life.
Right.
Did you know there was a camera at Gabby's house?
So?
So I know that she was killed because she was pregnant with John Tanner's baby.
And I know that either you or John are the ones that murdered her.
She's lying.
Do you know how crazy that sounds?
She was a drug addict.
She died of an overdose.
What a really lovely and convenient story for you, Stephanie.
I guess we'll just see if the police believe it.
This isn't gonna end well for you
I hope you know that.
♪
I just wish you had come to me with this.
I'm here for you no matter what.
I know.
I just didn't want you to be disappointed in me.
We all make mistakes.
The important thing is that we learn from them.
Yeah, and for one thing, college boys are looking pretty good right now.
Mm-hmm.
I'm just glad Stephanie and all her clients got arrested.
Me too.
They deserve everything that's coming to them.
So, when do you start your second semester?
Oh.
Mom, I'm not sure I want to go back to Tate next year.
What do you want to do?
I'm thinking I'll hang up my pom-poms and stay
here for a little while, get a job, work at the
dance studio, and reapply to some amazing schools.
Hmm.
Well, I support you 100%.
It would be really nice to have you around a little longer.
At least it wasn't all for nothing.
I made a really good friend in Kyle.
Yeah.
He's a nice guy.
Yeah, he is.
Oh, I think I hear them with the food.
Honey, I am so proud of you.
Thanks, Mom.
Here we go.
All right.
OK, what do you got happening over here, guys?
We just came.
