Welcome to Vanderton.

Ladies, listen up.
I want you to meet Maisy Martin.
This is Amelia's twin sister.

I think I speak for everyone when I say
I'm so very sorry we lost her in such a tragic way.
Thanks, Coach.
Maisy will be joining the squad, effective today.
She transferred from California University,
where I might add, she made it to the semi-finals
of the collegiate national cheer championship last year.
So y'all can probably learn a thing or two from her.
Hi. I'm Ella, cheer captain.

It was a little weird though, you know,
just like being in the gym where Amelia knew everyone,
and she was so happy.
I don't know. Just weird.
You know, I think about her every day.
I still think something was going on with her though.
I don't know.
You know, she practically stopped answering my calls.
And then when she did, she'd barely talk.
As much as she fought it, we shared the same brain.
But that was the first time I truly didn't understand
what was going on with her.
I loved how close you guys were.
Remember when [sniffs] she wouldn't let you
go to that prom store with her, right?

Amelia always spoke her mind.
I remember one time a soccer player said
cheering wasn't a real sport, and so Amelia
challenged her to one of our rigorous routines.
The girl did not stand a chance.
Yeah, that sounds like Amelia.

I wish I'd known she was in so much pain.
I really miss her.
Do you wanna sit for a bit?
Yeah.OK.
Thanks.
Um, was she really in pain, though?
That's what Mr. Thornton told us, that she was depressed.
Mr.? Uh, the athletic director?
How would he know?
He's pretty involved with the squad.
He considers it a huge part of the athletic department.
What else did he say?
That the pressure of cheer and school was too much for her.
He even brought in a grief counsellor for us to talk to.
That's weird.
I mean, Amelia had a four-point-oh average
and cheering came effortlessly to her.
Uh, didn't anyone else think it was a little bit strange
that she took her own life?
[sigh]
Apparently, Amelia had an eating disorder.
What? No. No.
Coach Hayes told her to lose ten pounds
or she'd be kicked off the squad.
No. There's, there's no way.
Amelia would not succumb to that.
You were three thousand miles away, right?
I know you were twins, but maybe you didn't know
everything about your sister.
There was this cheerleader on her screensaver.
Uh, she wasn't at practice, but she had brown curly hair.
Kiki Knells. Yeah.
Amelia and her were really close.
She never mentioned her.
Um, where is she?
Quit the squad.
From what I heard, same thing.
Just couldn't handle the pressure.
But we should go to practice.

What did she say?
That she made up her mind,
that she'd tell everyone that I wasn't a part of it.
But that doesn't matter, Maisy! I got so mad!
And she just, she just fell.
[scream]
It was an accident. Please Maisy. Please.
You have to believe me. I'm so sorry.
I regretted it the moment it happened.
I'm so sorry!
Um, now we have to go to the police.
You have to tell them everything.
[rustling leaves, birdsong]
Hey.
[So] ready to go?
We're proud of you.
Amelia would be too.
I know. I am so lucky to have both of you.
You're gonna be back before you know it.
Ninety days... and then I'll be a whole new man.
Um-hm. And we're just a phone call away.
OK then. Let's do this.
OK.
OK bye. [kiss] See you soon. I love you.
Bye.
Call me when you're on the way?
I will.
[car door closes]
Hey.
Take care of yourself.
Um-hm.
See you soon.
I'll see you soon.
[horn toots]
Hey.
Hey. How ya doin'?
I'm OK. [chuckle] Mm.
Are you OK?
I will be. Honestly, I can't thank you enough.
I don't know what I would have done
without you through all this.
Ah, come on. We make a great team.
Yeah, we do, the best team.
I think Amelia and Kiki would have been really proud.
Yeah. You know, Kiki always said
that everything happens for a reason.
Yeah.
And it's kinda true. In all this, we found each other.
Yeah, that is true.
Do you think that they ever thought we'd end up together?
I don't know, but I sure do! [chuckle]
[laugh]
So.. pizza?
Mmm, how about a wild mushroom...
