High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

Previously on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series...

It's amazing what can happen in just a couple weeks at summer camp.

Do you have room for one more?

I expected everyone to make new friends.

-Hey, little guy. That's Jet.

-Do you sing? -Not anymore.

Get closer to old ones.

-Summer is supposed to be fun, right? -Totally agree.

But I didn't expect to be

in the first camp production of Frozen directed by EJ.

Do you want to build a snowman?

And in a documentary about being in Frozen, directed by Corbin Bleu.

I'll take it from here, RJ, thank you.

Some of us found our footing.

I got the balance

And some of us got a little tripped up.

I totally get fire sign vibes from you.

Definitely a Capricorn rising.

Be a grown-up and tell Gina that you're going through something.

I'm anxious all the time.

But even when things looked dark...

The cold never bothered me anyway

But it's over.

Can it really be over if it never really got a chance to start?

We managed to step into the light.

-Let it go, let it go -(CROWD CHEERING)

Whoo!

And really see ourselves for the first time in forever.

Welcome to the community.

The doc may have captured a lot.

-(LAUGHS) -That's gonna be a thing.

I've got a boyfriend back home, I can't wait to see him.

I'm Big Red. I'm Ashlyn's boyfriend and I'm bi.

Is everyone okay?

But some moments were just for us.

It's a good thing the cameras won't be in our faces back at school. Right?

All right, oh, yeah We're back together again

All right, oh, yeah We're back together again

There's magic here in these halls

Amazing how it comes Floating right back to you

-The friends -The shoes

Playing ball

A lot has changed But there's some things that never do

We're living the lyrics From way back when

Let's have the time of our lives All over again

This is our high school reunion

Yeah, it's our high school reunion

And it couldn't get any better With me and you together

At our high school reunion

It is a beautiful night in Albuquerque.

Thanks to all of your beautiful Wildcat faces.

I'm Taylor McKessie and if you would've told me 15 years ago at our graduation,

that I would someday be the principal of East High School...

I would have said, "That sounds about right."

You look amazing. This is so cool.

This means so much to me that you are here.

I love you.

Give me that mic.

Have you seen Sharpay, Troy or Gabriella?

I don't know, Coach. They have been silent in the group chat.

All right, let's go. Come on.

All right, all right. All right. If we can get a spotlight for a second.

Tonight isn't just the 15th anniversary of the best class ever.

It is also a very special night for a very special teacher.

Happy retirement, Miss Darbus!

This is all about me?

Oh!

Charmed! Oh, my goodness.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Thank you. Oh, you shouldn't have.

Couldn't agree more.

But we did.

And here to say a big Wildcat thank you...

It's the current drama class at East High.

These are the days we'll remember

The friends we'll cherish forever

Let's make some memories together

'Cause right here with you We start something new

But only one day we'll look back and say

We love you, Miss Darbus.

And I love you.

And I love you, baby.

Cut. Mack,

you are not supposed to kiss Gina until after the bridge.

That was a change in blocking rehearsal.

Got it, Quinn. I'll get it right on the next take.

Okay, let's take it from Mack and Gina's entrance.

Featured extras, look alive on the sidelines. Thank you.

Copy. Thank you, Quinn.

That kiss looked very convincing.

Yeah, Ricky. You sure you're okay with this?

Why wouldn't I be?

Gina's living the dream. We are.

It's all our dreams. High School Musical 4, baby!

-Whoo! -Okay. You're screaming.

-(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Knock, knock.

I'm journaling.

Oh, I can come back.

You know what? Might as well

get the night-before-school speech over with. So...

"Speech" is a little over the top.

Mom, you're literally holding index cards.

Oh, hey, you haven't hung your Frozen poster.

Yeah, I was thinking of just keeping the walls bare, like blank slate vibes.

Well, I want to commend you for that. And for ending things with EJ, too.

I know that was hard, but...

"But it's your junior year, baby."

And it's time to really get serious about the future.

Mmm-hmm. That means no distractions. Yeah.

And that means no TikTok after 9:00 p.m.

No surprise Etsy charges on my credit card bill.

And no boys.

I mean, of course, to all of that.

See, the thing about my mom is that by the time she was my age,

she was voted most likely to change the world.

Look, I am happy she's back, but she's just a lot to live up to.

So I guess I just need to figure out how to change the world,

or at least my world. (CHUCKLES)

And right when I was starting to like my world.

Rick, you decent?

Rick?

Okay, I am loudly knocking and entering my teenage son's bedroom.

Hey, got a minute?

No, thanks. I already ate.

I said, got a minute?

Oh, God, what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I just think I'm supposed to say something inspiring

about it being the start of your senior year.

All right. Lay it on me.

It's your senior year. Stay in the moment.

Wow. That was very sweet. Did you read that in a Hallmark card, or...

I'm serious, Rick. I met your mom when I was your age. That was...

That was the best year of my life.

Have fun, but be

safe.

Yeah, I always buckle up. Always look both ways.

Oh. Oh...

You're talking about...

-Gina is good for you. All right? -I know.

Don't... Try not to mess that up.

This is a big night for you. I'm proud of you, Dad.

Yeah, yeah.

Do me a favor. Give your drama teacher my best tomorrow.

Oh, see? You had to go and ruin it.

-I kiss her and stuff. -Get out of... Okay.

-I'm dating her. -Bye-bye.

-She's my girlfriend. -Out of here.

Love you, Mommy.

Love you, too, baby.

Is she gone?

Your timing is impeccable.

There's a first time for everything, huh?

I'm sorry, I couldn't wait till tomorrow to see you.

-Sorry. -I think you have a leaf...

-Oh... -(LAUGHS)

-That was for you. Okay. -Okay.

I wanted to AirDrop you something.

Wait, did you make me a playlist?

That would have been thoughtful.

Uh, no. It's just a melody right now, but I couldn't get it out of my head.

-And it reminded me of you. -Aw.

Because I couldn't get it out of my head. Gross.

But it could be a song. It could be nothing.

I just thought maybe we could write this one together.

Well, I like the sound of that.

Me, too.

If she finds me up here, I am dead.

Yeah. Wait, but, like, do you think it's gonna be weird at school tomorrow

after the whole documentary thing?

I don't know. I sort of stayed offline. Avoid the comments.

Yeah.

Some guy said Ricky looks like a first draft of EJ. So...

What if...

I don't know, like, I just don't want to hear everyone's opinion about me

or us, for that matter.

So what if we kind of stayed a secret?

Like, just kept us for us?

Yeah.

A secret relationship. Sounds spicy.

-Mmm. -(BOTH CHUCKLE)

As long as we're an us, I'm in.

-She is gonna kill me. So I'm gonna... -Okay.

Goodbye, Ricky.

-(EXCLAIMS) -(CHUCKLES)

Okay.

-Bye-bye. -Goodbye.

-(SHUSHES) -(RICKY GRUNTS)

After years of buildup, we're finally here.

East High School?

No. Senior year.

I'm a junior.

And you're gonna stay a junior with that attitude, Carlos.

You need to manifest what you want.

I want Seb to start speaking to me again.

-He's still upset about the documentary? -He thinks I cheated on him.

Hey, can I get a selfie?

Thank you. Humbled. (CHUCKLES)
