Enamored by the power and confidence of this strong community of girls, Toni eagerly absorbs routines, masters drills, and even pierces her own ears to fit in. When a mysterious outbreak of fainting spells plagues the team, Toni's desire for acceptance is twisted.

Sorry, Coach. I just... I

need to get some water.

COACH:
All right. Let's start

with the clap back stand.

GIRL:
Let's go!

Everyone spread out.

Face forward.

We're gonna go over stand three.

COACH:

One more week, ladies.

One.

Keep going.

Do it again.

Five, six, seven. Go.

Do it again. Five, six, seven.

Go. Come on, ladies!

One.

Do it again.

Five, six, seven. Go.

One.

Do it again.

Five, six, seven. Go.

Step. Go harder.

(RETCHING)

(LAUGHING)

Is she okay?

Somebody call 911!

COACH:

Somebody get her water!

(GASPING)

I heard from Maia. They're

keeping Legs overnight.

Do they know what happened?

She didn't say.

You got a ride?

Yeah. I got a ride.

(SWITCHES CLICKING)

(GIRLS CHATTERING)

Think she's gonna be back

for competition?

I used to. I'm sure Legs

has that on lockdown.

Don't you think we

should... I can do it.

Legs taught me her stand

routines the other day.

I can handle it, Diamond.

Don't mess!

GIRLS:
Lionesses. Watch

me for the new steps.

The count's to eight.

Five, six, seven, eight.

GIRL:
April? April!

GIRL #2:
I like the blue.

Hips?

Thirty-five.

Bust?

Thirty-two.

- Pants?

- Double zero.

Waist?

Twenty-eight.

Latonia? Latonia.

Girl, you're straight as a nail.

Waist?

Twenty-three.

Pants?

Twelve.

You're so skinny.

Turn around.

Next!

125?

125?

I think you're like 132. You're

probably seven pounds over.

I was fighting 130.

I gotta lose five pounds

for this weekend.

Let me grab my stuff,

then we can go home.

Yeah. She in the hospital.

She was going crazy.

But me and her?

We're through.

How's your sister? Good. She just

came back from the hospital.

That was so scary. Karisma's freaking out!

April just texted me!

Come on! Come on!

Let's go see what it is!

(GIRL SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

GIRL:
Call 911!

Call 911!

(GASPING)

(GAGGING)

MAINE:

You girls crazy.

Yeah, but today Karisma had the

same thing happen. And the twins.

Karisma is the crazy one

out of all of them.

Don't start acting like her.

Ew. How can something

even smell that nasty?

At least the girls' stuff

never smelled that bad.

Look.

I busted Donte's nose.

What?

He's gonna kill you.

(GIGGLING)

So, do you work here?

No. I'm just

helping my brother.

Oh. Did you know they didn't

come to school today?

Yeah.

That's pretty crazy.

You gonna stay on the team?

I don't know yet.

I think you should. I don't

think they can kick you off.

Even if we're really bad?

You're not the worst.

(CHUCKLES)

(CLICKS TONGUE)

(LAUGHING)

Bah!

(RHYTHMIC CLAPPING)

(HUMMING)

COACH:
We've all been under

a lot of stress lately.

Legs and Karisma are both

home and doing much better.

Diamond has a card going around,
