00:42 YAY!
00:44 Oh my gosh!
00:46 This is so cool!
00:48 Now we'll all be in the yearbook picture together!
00:50 Picture? Oh no.
00:52 What? My zit nemesis is coming back!
00:54 You mean your nemesit?
00:56 Yes!
00:58 The zit that wants to ruin my life!
01:00 It always shows up at the worst time!
01:02 It's nothing!
01:04 Yeah! Nothing at all!
01:06 Pepper, you're lying!
01:10 You always blink when you lie!
01:12 I would never!
01:14 I'm out! I gotta stick my face in a tub of zit cream!
01:18 It's all happening!
01:22 The three of us on homecoming court!
01:24 And there's the dance!
01:26 I know! I wish I had a date but I haven't had a spark with anyone since Kyle.
01:30 It's probably for the best.
01:32 I have to focus on the homecoming game.
01:34 Okay, don't tell anyone but I kinda had a spark with someone and I'm hoping he'll give me a mom.
01:42 Seriously? Who?
01:44 Oh, I'm dying to tell you!
01:46 Okay, it's no. I can't.
01:48 I don't want to jinx it.
01:50 I totally understand.
01:52 This is so exciting!
01:54 Ladies, relax. I've worn this shirt before. Come on.
01:58 This is not about you, Troy. This is about homecoming.
02:02 Bella, Sophie and I got elected to homecoming court and we're grilling out hard.
02:06 Bella, I'm so disappointed in you.
02:08 You should be focused on the game, not some outdated popularity contest.
02:14 Troy, you got nominated for homecoming king.
02:16 What? Yes!
02:18 Alright! I'm king!
02:20 All hail King Troy!
02:22 I'm king!
02:24 Should we tell him he hasn't won yet?
02:28 Let's let him have this.
02:30 [Music]
02:32 Dream like, team like, living like, four-legged boys.
02:36 [Music]
02:38 [Music]
02:40 This is the second time you kids have come in for free Sundays this week.
02:46 Yeah, because it says it right here.
02:48 Free Sundays for athletes wearing game jerseys during homecoming week.
02:52 That doesn't mean unlimited Sundays.
02:55 Oh, should I call my legal representative?
02:57 Hello? Hey?
02:59 I just settled a lawsuit.
03:02 Some kid got his tongue stuck on the soft serve nozzle.
03:06 Now I have to give him free ice cream for life.
03:08 Thanks, Dirty.
03:10 Faker!
03:14 Here you go.
03:16 The only thing that tastes better than free ice cream will be the sweet taste of victory after Saturday's game.
03:23 Hoorah!
03:24 That's what I'm talking about.
03:26 We're gonna crush those cobras.
03:28 [Clearing throat]
03:30 Don't look now, but the cobra's just walked in.
03:33 Where?
03:34 I said don't look.
03:35 Right there.
03:37 Greetings, football foes.
03:43 Look, it's the Bulldogs.
03:48 You believe these guys have the guts to show their faces in here after last year's game?
03:53 Oh, yeah?
03:54 Well, uh, these faces are gonna be in your nightmares after we destroy you on Saturday.
04:00 I keep dreaming.
04:02 We're going all the way this year.
04:04 We even ordered our championship jackets.
04:07 Oh.
04:11 Well, that's fine because we don't even wear jackets.
04:18 You're wearing a jacket right now.
04:21 Oh, no, no, this is a coat.
04:24 A bowtie.
04:25 What he meant was we're gonna kick your butt so hard your grandkids will feel it.
04:31 Oh.
04:32 Yeah.
04:33 You cobras are going to be crushed.
04:36 We're gonna skin you snakes alive 'cause Mama needs a new pair of boots.
04:41 Oh.
04:42 Whatever.
04:43 That's what I thought.
04:46 Dang.
04:55 You sure know how to smack talk.
04:57 It's a gift.
04:58 I'll say, you really put them in their place.
05:01 Yeah, well, they deserved it.
05:03 You mess with my team, you answer to me.
05:05 I like a girl with attitude.
05:07 I'm Zach.
05:08 I'm Bella.
05:09 Yeah, I know who you are.
05:10 I saw you play against the Bears.
05:12 You can really sling it.
05:14 I've heard that said about me.
05:17 We should hang out sometime.
05:19 Yes, we should.
05:20 How about Saturday night?
05:23 That's cool.
05:24 Oh, wait, Saturday's our homecoming dance.
05:28 I mean, if you don't have a date, I could go with you.
05:31 I don't have a mom, but--
05:32 Then you better go get one.
05:35 That means yes, by the way.
05:37 Oh, cool.
05:38 All right, then it's a date.
05:40 See you then.
05:41 Okay.
05:42 What'd you say to him?
05:45 Oh, my gosh, you guys, I just--
05:46 Did you serve Zach Barnes or did you soft serve him?
05:51 That was Zach Barnes?
05:53 As in Cobra captain and star linebacker Zach Barnes?
05:57 The very same.
05:58 Oh, we've seen a lot of old Barnes-y come Saturday night.
06:01 You know, when he's tackling you.
06:04 I don't know what was him.
06:06 I guess I've never seen him without a helmet.
06:08 And he isn't even wearing a jersey.
06:10 What a fool.
06:12 Now he'll have to pay for his ice cream.
06:14 Yeah, what a fool.
06:18 Yeah, that's what I just said.
06:20 [gasps]
06:21 Okay, you guys, something kind of crazy happened,
06:23 and I need your advice.
06:24 I'm going a little nuts here.
06:26 Is that toothpaste on your cheek?
06:28 Yep.
06:29 I heard it works on zits.
06:31 Well, if it doesn't,
06:32 then that means it will have fresh breath.
06:36 You were saying?
06:38 A guy asked me to the dance.
06:40 His name is Zach.
06:41 He's tall and cute, and he likes my smell.
06:44 I'm like, "Oh, my God, Zach,
06:46 "you're so cute, and you're so handsome."
06:48 He's tall and cute, and he likes my smack talk.
06:51 Did I mention he's really cute?
06:53 That's awesome!
06:54 That's cool!
06:55 Small hitch.
06:57 He's a cobra.
06:58 What?
07:01 It's his one flaw.
07:03 His one tiny little huge flaw.
07:08 Well, you can't date the enemy.
07:11 But you guys, there was a spark.
07:15 Yeah, a spark that will burn down the whole school.
07:19 Oh, this is so romantic.
07:22 You're gonna be involved in a tragic love fire.
07:25 So you think it's a good idea.
07:27 Well, no.
07:30 It's a terrible idea,
07:31 and I think the whole school would agree with us.
07:34 Plus, what if the team finds out?
07:37 Yeah, you're right.
07:39 What was I thinking?
07:40 I gotta go.
07:43 Is that a mum for Sophie?
07:44 It is.
07:45 My stepmom, Brenda, helped me pick it out.
07:47 She's really good at buying showy things with my father's money.
07:50 At least that's what my mother says.
07:53 It must be fancy.
07:54 Yeah, it's got lots of bells and whistles, literally.
07:58 Plus, it's got lights and a little stuffed dog that barks music.
08:01 Just enough without going overboard.
08:04 There are a few things in this world that just ain't natural.
08:07 She's from a can and a mum from a store.
08:10 That's why my mum is going to my garden as you speak.
08:13 She told the mower to cut it so it's fresh,
08:15 and it'll be mixed with daisies or her favorite flower.
08:18 Wait, Sawyer, did you just say you're giving someone a mum?
08:21 Yes.
08:22 Yes, I am.
08:24 Well, aren't you full of surprises, Buster?
08:28 Who's the lucky lady?
08:29 Let's just say that's a surprise, too.
08:34 That cowboy is a man of mystery.
08:38 Hey, Sophie.
08:40 So, I know we discussed this verbally and via text and e-mail,
08:43 and you said no, but I was thinking if you saw it in person,
08:46 you might say--
08:47 No.
08:49 Okay, clearly I was mistaken.
08:51 Catch you later, Soph.
08:56 Hey, Pepper.
08:57 Hey.
08:58 Everything okay?
09:00 Not really.
09:01 I was hoping a certain someone was going to give me a mum.
09:07 But it looks like it's not going to happen.
09:11 Yes, it is.
09:12 Full disclosure, I bought this with Sophie in mind,
09:15 but she wasn't accepting gifts at the moment.
09:18 Pepper, my good pal, will you accept my mum and go to the dance with me?
09:24 Sure, Newt.
09:26 I'd be happy to.
09:28 Oh, by the way, if you get hungry, it's got edible petals.
09:35 [phone ringing]
09:39 Oh, hey.
09:41 Oh, hey, I got your text.
09:42 What's up?
09:43 I wanted to talk to you about Saturday.
09:45 I think you're really cool, but I don't think we can go out.
09:49 Why not?
09:51 Because you're the enemy, and I don't want to burn down the school
09:53 in a tragical love fire.
09:56 I mean, I'm a bulldog and you're a cobra.
10:00 We're at war.
10:02 We can't do this.
10:03 Look, I knew who you were when I asked you out,
10:06 and I didn't care, so why should you?
10:08 Because it's more complicated for me.
10:10 Because of the love fire?
10:13 No, because I'm the only girl on the team,
10:16 and the guys would not understand.
10:18 Well, just don't tell them until after the game.
10:21 Yeah, but what if--
10:23 I mean, I could, but they might--
10:28 You know what?
10:29 That could work.
10:31 Okay, then. Problem solved.
10:33 Okay, I got to go before they--
10:35 Oh, no, you didn't!
10:38 What are you doing?
10:40 They're here behind you.
10:42 Oh, yes, I did.
10:44 See you on Saturday.
10:46 And bring your big boy pants.
10:50 Hey, way to put that cobra in his face, Bella.
10:59 Yeah, I came for the ice cream,
11:01 but had to dish out some smack talk first.
11:04 But you didn't bring your jersey.
11:06 Oops, I better go get it.
11:09 Hi, coach. Bye, coach.
11:12 Hey, guys.
11:15 Just checking to see if you guys are staying on trouble.
11:19 Since I'm here, I'll be free special.
11:23 Sorry.
11:24 Got to see your jersey, pal.
11:28 ( chuckles )
11:30 Is that Newt's jersey?
11:40 Mind your business.
11:43 Hey, Sophie. How's the zit sitch?
11:52 This is bad.
11:54 Nemezet had a baby, and it is not the cute kind.
11:58 Do you have any concealer I can borrow?
12:00 Totally. I've got some in my locker.
12:03 Okay, you can do this.
12:05 Trust me, yes. Okay, you can do it.
12:08 Wow. That's a beautiful mum, Sawyer.
12:21 Yeah, well, it's trash now.
12:24 Whoa. What happened with the special lady?
12:26 She got a mum from another man.
12:29 Poor guy.
12:34 No reason to take it out on the flowers.
12:38 They have feelings, too.
12:40 Great practice today, Bulldogs.
12:47 You guys have been going hard all week.
12:49 Looks like you've been going hard, too, Coach.
12:52 On the Sundays.
12:54 You guys laugh, but it fills a void.
13:00 Anyway, you should have seen Bella Trash talking to Coppens.
13:06 She had Zach Barnes blushing like a little girl.
13:09 What did you say to him?
13:11 I don't think I should repeat it.
13:14 It was super offensive.
13:17 Go ahead. Offend us.
13:20 Yeah, but go on. Do your thing.
13:23 All right.
13:26 So I went up to Zach, and I was like,
13:30 "You cobras are the worst."
13:33 And he was like, "You Bulldogs are even worse-er."
13:37 And I was like, "Psh."
13:40 And then there was some more back and forth, et cetera, et cetera.
13:43 Boom. Trash talked.
13:47 You had to be there.
13:50 Yoo-hoo!
13:53 You boys decent?
13:55 Yeah, come on in.
13:57 They delivered this to the office for Bella.
14:00 A Pete is a mom.
14:03 There's someone in the day-to-the-day.
14:06 Yeah.
14:08 I think I'll just open this in my locker privately.
14:11 No, too slow.
14:13 Let's see.
14:16 A mom with attitude for a girl with attitude.
14:19 Yeah.
14:22 Can't wait for the dance.
14:24 Zach Barnes?
14:27 So...
14:30 about my date...
14:40 There has to be some rule against this.
14:43 Isn't there a penalty for, you know, traitor dating?
14:46 Yeah, I don't know.
14:48 I've never had a player date an opponent before.
14:51 Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta...
14:53 I have to...
14:56 I just gotta get out of here.
14:59 Guys, this is not a big deal.
15:02 Zach and I are just two people from opposite sides who met,
15:06 and liked each other, like Romeo and Juliet.
15:09 Oh, yeah, 'cause that ended well.
15:12 Newt, you're with me, aren't you?
15:15 Don't look at me, traitor dater.
15:18 Don't you see what's going on here?
15:20 He's starting to distract you before the biggest game of the season.
15:23 Yeah, I mean, it's a great strategy.
15:25 If the Cobras had a girl QB, I'd do the same.
15:28 Probably break her heart, poor thing.
15:30 Be journaling for days.
15:33 I would never let a guy throw me off my game.
15:36 I'm gonna defeat him, and then I'm gonna date him.
15:39 I'm gonna do it all, like Beyonce.
15:44 We are so dead on Saturday.
15:47 Sounds like Santa Claus is coming,
15:59 or a bell factory exploded.
16:02 I know. This moment's crazy.
16:05 And crazy heavy.
16:08 Why are you holding your cheek?
16:10 Nemesis has gone full on zits on.
16:13 Everybody's gonna laugh at me when I'm standing on the field
16:16 with the rest of homecoming court.
16:18 Oh, please.
16:20 No one's going to notice.
16:24 I know you're lying because you're blinking.
16:26 No, I'm just trying not to look at it.
16:31 Hey, you.
16:32 Don't say anything.
16:35 The mum looks great, Pepper. Brenda will be proud.
16:40 I hope you don't mind. I added some daisies.
16:42 They're my favorite flower.
16:44 Oh, of course, I...
16:46 I'll be mixed with daisies, her favorite flower.
16:49 Whoa, what happened with the special lady?
16:53 She got a mum from another man.
16:56 Oh, no. I'm the other man.
16:59 What have I done?
17:01 It's game time, folks.
17:10 And no, you're not seeing double.
17:12 It's Silverado East versus Silverado West.
17:15 The biggest rivalry of the year.
17:18 If we lose to the Cobras,
17:20 we'll never be able to show our faces in town again.
17:23 I have complete faith in our team,
17:26 but just in case...
17:29 (crashing)
17:31 Go, Bulldogs.
17:33 Well, it is a little Miss Quarterback.
17:39 It's okay. He knows.
17:41 Oh, cool. So did you get my mum?
17:44 Yes. It's beautiful.
17:46 (retches)
17:48 Heads or tails?
17:50 Heads.
17:52 It's heads.
17:54 We'll receive. In your face, Barnes.
17:57 Bring it, Dawson.
17:59 You look really good tonight, by the way.
18:01 You do, too. Again.
18:03 (shouting)
18:15 A massive hit on Bella Dawson
18:23 by Cobra superstar Zach Barnes.
18:26 (rock music)
18:28 What's this?
18:34 Barnes is helping Dawson up.
18:37 Is this just good sportsmanship
18:39 or a PT-13 romance starring Shailene Woodley?
18:43 (cheering)
18:45 Dawson avoids what was sure to be a brutal tackle
18:54 by her homecoming date, Zach Barnes.
18:57 Barnes is down, Dawson to the rescue.
19:01 Uh-oh. Guess he didn't need a hand.
19:04 (shouting)
19:13 Yikes!
19:18 Another massive tackle by Zach Barnes.
19:21 He is not playing nice.
19:24 And apparently, he's forgotten his manners.
19:28 I hope he's more of a gentleman tonight at the dance.
19:32 Folks, the Bulldogs are down by four
19:35 with only ten seconds on the clock.
19:37 But we have the ball.
19:39 Can Bella Dawson get past Zach Barnes
19:42 and his tough Cobra defense?
19:44 I can't watch.
19:46 (cheering)
19:48 (shouting)
19:51 (cheering)
19:53 (shouting)
19:55 (shouting)
20:07 (cheering)
20:13 (cheering)
20:15 Hey, Bella. I was wrong.
20:23 You can do it all.
20:25 So you psyched for your big date?
20:27 Totally. Are you going with anyone?
20:29 Please. I'm making a point to go solo to all dances.
20:32 That way, every girl gets a chance to dance with the Troy.
20:36 And if I'm king,
20:38 every girl gets a signed picture in their gift basket.
20:42 (laughter)
20:44 Hey. Good game.
20:48 You guys put up a great fight.
20:50 Yeah, you too.
20:52 So, uh, I know I put them on a little early,
20:55 but it was too pretty to leave in the box.
20:58 So I'll see you at the dance?
21:03 Um, yeah, about that,
21:05 I'm not really in the mood to go to a dance right now.
21:08 (chuckles)
21:10 Are you serious?
21:12 Because we won?
21:14 I thought you said being rivals didn't matter.
21:17 Yeah, well, I guess it does.
21:20 Sorry, Bella.
21:22 Sawyer, wait up. This way.
21:31 Huh? Where are we going?
21:33 Hey, I thought I threw that out.
21:35 There was a misunderstanding. Just come with me.
21:38 Hey, Pepper, I hope you don't mind,
21:40 but I need to take my mom back.
21:42 Wait, that was your mom?
21:44 Sit.
21:46 What's going on?
21:48 Sawyer needs to talk to you.
21:50 Why was I--
21:52 Sit.
21:54 Ooh, daisies.
21:56 I love daisies.
21:58 I know. I made this for you.
22:00 Pepper, will you go to the dance with me?
22:06 Sawyer, I would love to.
22:08 What?
22:14 Yeah, that just happened.
22:19 Aww!
22:21 Newt, did you do that?
22:24 Well...
22:26 That's pretty cool.
22:28 So, do you want to go to the dance?
22:33 Together?
22:35 Keep it casual.
22:37 I love casual.
22:39 Whoa.
22:43 That is so mom.
22:45 It sure is. Check it out.
22:48 No one will notice it's Zilla because of Monster Mom.
22:58 I may have to wear this all week.
23:00 Newt, you're a genius.
23:02 Well, Brenda deserves some of the credit, too.
23:05 Hey, Bella. You okay?
23:11 Guess I was wrong about Zack.
23:13 Yeah, well, I warned you about dating a cobra.
23:16 It's not that.
23:18 I'd get it if Zack couldn't handle dating the enemy.
23:21 But what really hurts is he couldn't handle dating a girl who's better than him.
23:25 Yeah, well, you better get used to it.
23:27 You're pretty much better than everybody.
23:29 Great! That means I'll be alone forever.
23:32 No! It means you're awesome.
23:35 You kick butt.
23:37 And one day you're going to find somebody who appreciates that about you.
23:40 Wow. Thanks, Troy.
23:43 Looks like I'm going solo to the dance.
23:47 Oh, well.
23:48 Hey, how about you go with me?
23:50 What about all your ladies?
23:52 Won't they be disappointed?
23:54 Yeah, they will.
23:57 But you know, I'll save a ton on gift baskets.
24:00 And now, the moment we've all been waiting for.
24:05 Oh, it's on the stage.
24:07 Let's go.
24:09 Ladies and gentlemen,
24:12 I'm proud to announce the world's new homecoming king and queen,
24:18 Troy Dickson and Bella Dotson!
24:22 Oh, my God!
24:24 Yes! I did it!
24:31 Congratulations to me!
24:34 Oh, yeah, you too, Bella.
24:36 Thanks, Troy.
24:38 Nice crown.
24:40 Yeah, I was hoping it'd be bigger.
24:42 Shall we go to the dance, Your Highness?
