[upbeat music playing]

2
00:00:12,597 --> 00:00:13,765
[Stacey] My dad once told me

3
00:00:13,848 --> 00:00:17,560
that middle school
is the worst time in anybody's life.

4
00:00:17,643 --> 00:00:21,939
He said he wouldn't repeat it
for a million dollars, which I get,

5
00:00:22,023 --> 00:00:23,483
but at the same time,

6
00:00:24,108 --> 00:00:25,693
it's not so bad.

7
00:00:25,777 --> 00:00:29,405
I mean, sixth grade was
an unmitigated disaster,

8
00:00:29,489 --> 00:00:32,325
what with being diagnosed
with type 1 diabetes

9
00:00:32,408 --> 00:00:35,912
and basically run out of Manhattan
by ableist bullies.

10
00:00:35,995 --> 00:00:38,331
But seventh grade was a lot better,

11
00:00:38,414 --> 00:00:41,876
and eighth grade so far
has been an even bigger upgrade.

12
00:00:41,959 --> 00:00:43,336
[teacher] Great work, as usual.

13
00:00:43,419 --> 00:00:46,089
I know I shouldn't be saying this,
but you're my favorite student.

14
00:00:46,172 --> 00:00:48,257
Oh, thanks, Ms. Katimski.

15
00:00:48,341 --> 00:00:49,967
Hardworking, smart, responsible,

16
00:00:50,051 --> 00:00:53,596
and is it weird that I, a grown woman,
am consistently jealous of your wardrobe?

17
00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:56,015
I don't know. Kinda?

18
00:00:57,391 --> 00:00:59,560
And you're hilarious.
Keep killing it, girl.

19
00:00:59,644 --> 00:01:02,146
[Stacey] I feel like I've really
found my groove in Stoneybrook,

20
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:04,899
and a lot of that has to do
with The Baby-Sitters Club.

21
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:06,859
They're nothing like
my friends in New York.

22
00:01:06,943 --> 00:01:11,989
I'm learning so much from them about stuff
like art, activism, building a business.

23
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:14,867
Of course they're learning
some important stuff from me too.

24
00:01:14,951 --> 00:01:18,871
And… voilà. That's how you do
a foolproof fishtail braid.

25
00:01:18,955 --> 00:01:20,998
I love it. I'm a mermaid.

26
00:01:21,082 --> 00:01:23,709
Can you do one on me?
My hair looks like a disaster.

27
00:01:23,793 --> 00:01:25,419
-[Stacey] Yeah.
-Mallory, just take this.

28
00:01:25,503 --> 00:01:26,963
Way easier than whatever that was.

29
00:01:27,046 --> 00:01:28,881
Kristy! Oh my gosh.

30
00:01:28,965 --> 00:01:31,175
-What? It looks good.
-I'll do it on you later.

31
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:35,221
[Stacey] But the thing I like most about
eighth grade is that I really feel like

32
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:38,432
I've conquered my diabetes
and I can move on with my life.

33
00:01:38,516 --> 00:01:41,060
♪ You got me feeling, woo
Got me feeling woo-hoo! ♪

34
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:43,771
Looks like you got this whole thing
under control, don't you?

35
00:01:43,855 --> 00:01:47,024
Well, having diabetes is kind of
like solving a math problem,

36
00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:49,026
and luckily I'm really good at math, so--

37
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:52,113
It's true. She just got
a 98% on her last quiz.

38
00:01:52,196 --> 00:01:55,158
You seem to have transitioned well
to the wireless pump.

39
00:01:55,241 --> 00:01:56,576
Just remembering to change--

40
00:01:56,659 --> 00:01:59,162
The site every three days
to prevent infection.

41
00:01:59,245 --> 00:02:00,079
And earlier--

42
00:02:00,163 --> 00:02:02,957
If it seems like the insulin
isn't getting absorbed. Yup.

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,334
-I got this.
-You're type 1 and type A.

44
00:02:05,418 --> 00:02:07,879
Oh, she is.
She's like a little mini adult.

45
00:02:07,962 --> 00:02:09,463
We are so proud of her.

46
00:02:09,547 --> 00:02:13,217
Mom, chill. You're acting
like my publicist or something.

47
00:02:13,301 --> 00:02:16,512
Oh, she's just excited.
You want to tell her?

48
00:02:17,096 --> 00:02:20,474
-[giggling]
-[Mary Anne] You're invited to a gala?

49
00:02:20,558 --> 00:02:22,768
And you're going to be
on the cover of a magazine!

50
00:02:22,852 --> 00:02:25,605
It's for
the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

51
00:02:25,688 --> 00:02:29,025
My doctor is on the board and nominated me
to be cover girl for the month.

52
00:02:29,108 --> 00:02:31,110
A gala? Being a cover girl?

53
00:02:31,194 --> 00:02:33,529
Stacey, you are the fanciest person
in Stoneybrook.

54
00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:34,822
[phone ringing]

55
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:36,574
Hello, Baby-Sitters Club.

56
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:39,202
This is Kristy Thomas,
president and founder, speaking.

57
00:02:39,285 --> 00:02:42,830
And there's, like, one more
kind of, sort of cool thing.

58
00:02:42,914 --> 00:02:45,917
The JDRF is letting me
put on a fashion show at the gala.

59
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,335
[shrieking]

60
00:02:47,418 --> 00:02:48,252
Hey.

61
00:02:48,753 --> 00:02:52,506
All right, Mrs. Johanssen.
Sunday afternoon, 2:00 p.m.

62
00:02:52,590 --> 00:02:54,008
Stacey, you're free on Sunday?

63
00:02:54,091 --> 00:02:56,302
No. Too many fashion shows
and cover shoots.

64
00:02:56,385 --> 00:02:59,180
You guys, stop. Yes, I can, Kristy.

65
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:04,268
This fashion show isn't to model couture.
It's to auction off these pouches.

66
00:03:04,352 --> 00:03:05,770
-What's couture?
-I'll explain later.

67
00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:08,606
People with diabetes
like to keep their testing kits in these,

68
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:12,068
plus emergency snacks and juice
in case their blood sugar is running low.

69
00:03:12,151 --> 00:03:15,446
These are so unfortunate-looking. I wish
I could decorate them like I did yours.

70
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:18,908
You can. I was thinking
we could all come up with a design

71
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:22,954
to make the pouches functional and cute,
then, Claudia, you and I can execute it.

72
00:03:23,037 --> 00:03:24,997
[squeals]
I love a BFF collab.

73
00:03:25,831 --> 00:03:29,377
-Who would model them?
-I was thinking maybe you guys would?

-[gasping]
-What? Me? Model?

75
00:03:33,631 --> 00:03:36,342
In front of a bunch
of rich, snobby people?

76
00:03:36,926 --> 00:03:38,135
Hello? No!

77
00:03:38,219 --> 00:03:39,762
It's for a good cause.

78
00:03:41,222 --> 00:03:43,516
Fine. But I'm not wearing a dress.

79
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:44,558
Fine by me.

80
00:03:44,642 --> 00:03:46,811
-[squealing]
-Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!

81
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:49,563
Come on in, guys.
I'm so happy you're here.

82
00:03:49,647 --> 00:03:51,899
Kristy's just upstairs
working on her pouch.

83
00:03:51,983 --> 00:03:53,276
Dawn, tell her your idea.

84
00:03:53,359 --> 00:03:55,444
Well, I wanted to have
an anti-capitalist message

85
00:03:55,528 --> 00:03:57,655
because all the things you keep
in the pouch cost money,

86
00:03:57,738 --> 00:04:00,449
which is just ridiculous,
because it keeps diabetics alive

87
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:02,285
and they shouldn't have to pay for that.

88
00:04:02,368 --> 00:04:04,870
So something that explains
health care is a human right

89
00:04:04,954 --> 00:04:09,166
and capitalism is really just a poison
rotting our society from the inside out,

90
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:10,209
but cute! [giggles]

91
00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:11,127
Anyway, bye!

92
00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:16,382
Ah. God, this generation.

93
00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:18,050
Politically engaged,

94
00:04:18,134 --> 00:04:20,219
raising money for diabetes
in their free time.

95
00:04:20,303 --> 00:04:25,558
When I was their age,
I only cared about boys and lip gloss.

96
00:04:25,641 --> 00:04:28,185
I still care about those things
to an uncomfortable degree.

97
00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:31,689
Well, on the topic of boys,
how are things going with you and Watson?

98
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:34,984
Are you still
in a cloud of newlywed bliss?

99
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:36,360
[Liz] We are.
[giggles]

100
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:40,531
We're actually thinking about
trying to have a baby.

101
00:04:41,032 --> 00:04:42,450
-I'm nuts, right?
-No way.

102
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:45,494
You want to bring more love
into this world? That's a beautiful thing.

103
00:04:45,578 --> 00:04:49,582
I think maybe having a baby might,
you know, complete our family.

104
00:04:49,665 --> 00:04:50,666
Unite us, you know?

105
00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:52,001
Do you feel like you need that?

106
00:04:52,084 --> 00:04:55,838
I don't regret anything.
I have amazing kids.

107
00:04:55,921 --> 00:04:59,467
But I can't help but wonder
what it would all have been like

108
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:01,927
if I'd done it with the right man.

109
00:05:04,972 --> 00:05:06,807
I have this fertility statue.

110
00:05:06,891 --> 00:05:09,935
It got my friend Soleil pregnant
immediately.

111
00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:15,149
Who knows what getting pregnant looks like
at this stage in my life's chronology?

112
00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:17,276
It's definitely
going to include acupuncture.

113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,112
[laughs]
Yes. Okay, enough about me.

114
00:05:20,196 --> 00:05:22,782
What about you and Richard?
Tell me the hot goss.

115
00:05:22,865 --> 00:05:25,493
Oh, boy. It's on, in a big way.

116
00:05:26,077 --> 00:05:28,204
There's a lot of canoodling
and whispering.

117
00:05:28,287 --> 00:05:29,830
At scheduled times,

118
00:05:29,914 --> 00:05:31,582
so he feels comfortable.

119
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,376
-We are just so--
-[Stacey] Oh my God, ew.

120
00:05:33,459 --> 00:05:35,836
Grown-ups talking about this stuff
makes me want to…

121
00:05:38,464 --> 00:05:42,218
Mallory, why are you writing "die"?
This is supposed to be uplifting.

122
00:05:42,301 --> 00:05:44,678
Oh, it's gonna say, "Diabetes Stuff".

123
00:05:44,762 --> 00:05:48,432
Get it? Because it holds the stuff
for all your diabetes.

124
00:05:48,516 --> 00:05:51,769
I'm not an expert, but I don't think
that's how you spell diabetes.

125
00:05:52,395 --> 00:05:53,229
Oh.

126
00:05:53,938 --> 00:05:57,400
-Uh, can I get another pouch?
-Um, maybe we can just fix it.

127
00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:03,614
That's, like, your fifth glass of water
in 20 minutes. Stace, you okay?

128
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,242
Yeah. My blood sugar
just might be a little high is all.

129
00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:10,079
[Stacey] Oh, very high.
That can't be right.

130
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:14,041
Um, I think my app is messed up.
I'm gonna go test.

131
00:06:14,125 --> 00:06:16,001
So that happens sometimes?

132
00:06:16,085 --> 00:06:18,838
Your blood sugar's fine
and then, like, not fine?

133
00:06:19,422 --> 00:06:20,423
Yeah, sometimes.

134
00:06:20,506 --> 00:06:23,175
I have a pretty good system though,
so there are rarely any surprises.

135
00:06:23,259 --> 00:06:25,803
Wow. Stacey, you're so mature.

136
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,097
You're totally showing
your diabetes who's boss.

137
00:06:28,681 --> 00:06:30,933
It's like, Stacey: 1, diabetes: 0.

138
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:32,601
Don't encourage her, Mal.

139
00:06:32,685 --> 00:06:35,938
She needs to chill.
She's, like, 13 going on 35.

140
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:39,066
Ooh, can you do a fishtail braid on me
when you get back?

141
00:06:39,150 --> 00:06:42,862
I tried it at home, but it looked like
a regular braid that gave up on itself.

142
00:06:42,945 --> 00:06:43,863
Sure.
[giggles]

143
00:06:45,614 --> 00:06:47,283
[woman on laptop] A fishtail braid.

144
00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:49,994
First, grab the outside strands
and pull them to the middle.

145
00:06:50,077 --> 00:06:52,413
-[phone chiming]
-[woman] Then what I like to do is take--

146
00:06:52,997 --> 00:06:53,831
Present.

147
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:55,082
Kristy!

148
00:06:55,583 --> 00:06:57,835
-Uh, what are you doing to your hair?
-[Kristy] Nothing!

149
00:06:58,419 --> 00:07:00,546
I… Karen was just playing with it.

150
00:07:00,629 --> 00:07:03,424
Are you gonna let your new baby brother
or sister play with your hair?

151
00:07:03,507 --> 00:07:04,341
Huh?

152
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:08,179
Your mom told my mom.
She and Watson are gonna have a baby!

153
00:07:08,262 --> 00:07:09,430
Congratulations.

154
00:07:10,264 --> 00:07:11,098
Hello?

155
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:13,476
Did the screen freeze

156
00:07:13,559 --> 00:07:17,104
or do you have complicated feelings
that I should have taken into account?

157
00:07:17,188 --> 00:07:18,731
No, I'm here. I just…

158
00:07:20,065 --> 00:07:23,611
I don't have any feelings.
I did not know that.

159
00:07:23,694 --> 00:07:24,612
Oh.

160
00:07:26,197 --> 00:07:27,031
Okay.

161
00:07:27,531 --> 00:07:30,367
Um, I'm sure my mom got the wrong info.

162
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:34,663
She's had, like, three kombuchas today.
Forget I said anything.

163
00:07:34,747 --> 00:07:36,499
Why would my mom keep that a secret?

164
00:07:36,582 --> 00:07:38,250
-Well--
-[Kristy] Never mind. I know why.

165
00:07:38,334 --> 00:07:41,295
She thinks I still feel weird
about this family merging thing

166
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:43,839
and that having a baby
would freak me out or something.

167
00:07:43,923 --> 00:07:46,133
You kind of are freaking out,
which is natural.

168
00:07:46,217 --> 00:07:48,385
I'm freaking out over the secrecy,
not the baby.

169
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:50,554
I love babies. I'm a babysitter!

170
00:07:50,638 --> 00:07:52,097
-You should--
-I'm serious.

171
00:07:52,181 --> 00:07:54,934
I think having a baby would be awesome

172
00:07:55,017 --> 00:07:58,395
and I'm really bummed out that my mom
thinks I wouldn't be okay with it.

173
00:08:00,356 --> 00:08:02,024
Did your screen freeze now?

174
00:08:02,525 --> 00:08:05,152
Oh, sorry. Just wanted to make sure
you were done talking.

175
00:08:06,779 --> 00:08:08,447
I have to find a way to fix this.

176
00:08:09,031 --> 00:08:10,032
Thomas out.

177
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,413
Okay, this look is next level.

178
00:08:16,497 --> 00:08:19,333
Degas meets McQueen.
Stace, what do you think?

179
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:20,251
Hm?

180
00:08:21,043 --> 00:08:22,545
Oh. Yeah, I love it.

181
00:08:23,587 --> 00:08:27,132
You okay?
You've been a little Spacey Stacey today.

182
00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:29,176
Yeah, I just need some juice.

183
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:31,720
[Stacey] I thought my app was messed up,
but it wasn't.

184
00:08:31,804 --> 00:08:34,515
My blood sugar was high
and now it's too low.

185
00:08:34,598 --> 00:08:37,268
My levels have never been
up and down like this before.

186
00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:40,437
Better. Protein break.

187
00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:47,528
Jessi, no offense, but that's the most
depressing snack I've ever seen.

188
00:08:47,611 --> 00:08:49,905
Can I get you some real food,
like Starburst?

189
00:08:49,989 --> 00:08:53,659
Later. Now, I need to make sure I eat
something that'll maximize my energy.

190
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:56,829
Feed my muscles.
It's kind of a formula, like Stacey.

191
00:08:56,912 --> 00:08:57,913
[Stacey] Not really.

192
00:08:57,997 --> 00:09:00,958
Jessi eats certain things
so she can be some super athlete.

193
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,043
I eat them so I don't go into a coma.

194
00:09:03,127 --> 00:09:04,253
Yeah, definitely.

195
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:06,005
Whatever you're doing, it's working.

196
00:09:06,088 --> 00:09:07,131
I can barely touch my toes

197
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:09,758
and, considering my age,
it's a little concerning. Ow.

198
00:09:09,842 --> 00:09:11,302
Stace. This is great.

199
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:12,636
-What do you think?
-Mm-hm.

200
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,973
[Stacey] Everyone was counting on me
to stay on top of it, and I will.

201
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:17,266
My levels have been wonky,

202
00:09:17,349 --> 00:09:19,727
but I know the juice will bring me
back up to normal.

203
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:23,647
Remember, it's a math equation.
And who's better at math than me?

204
00:09:23,731 --> 00:09:24,565
[sighs]

205
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:26,692
[beeping]

206
00:09:28,193 --> 00:09:29,570
[beeping]

207
00:09:31,614 --> 00:09:34,199
[Stacey] Problem solved,
just as I expected.

208
00:09:34,283 --> 00:09:38,037
Now the BSC plus JDRF
can equal the best night ever.

209
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,079
Gala time!

210
00:09:39,163 --> 00:09:41,165
[jazzy music plays]

211
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:44,627
[Richard] Oh, wow.

212
00:09:45,461 --> 00:09:47,254
So many people.

213
00:09:48,422 --> 00:09:50,215
[hesitantly] Fun. How fun.

214
00:09:50,299 --> 00:09:53,052
Don't worry. Mom will be here soon.
Like in an hour.

215
00:09:53,135 --> 00:09:55,262
Soon, in an hour. So Sharon.

216
00:09:55,346 --> 00:09:59,016
Hi, guys. This gala is crazy.
I just met a man named Scoop.

217
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:02,019
-Kristy!
-Hey. Come with me, now.

218
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:03,062
Okay.

219
00:10:03,145 --> 00:10:05,898
Champagne? Steer clear. Okay.

220
00:10:05,981 --> 00:10:06,982
It happened once.

221
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:08,817
Are we contagious?

222
00:10:09,526 --> 00:10:10,569
No, honey.

223
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:15,324
They just think we're deeply uncool,
which is unfair because we are fun people.

224
00:10:15,407 --> 00:10:16,533
Yeah, so fun.

225
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:18,494
So fun. Who would like a drink?

226
00:10:18,577 --> 00:10:20,079
I brought coasters from home.

227
00:10:20,579 --> 00:10:22,456
-Oh, that's cool.
-Yeah? All right.

228
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:25,376
Never mind.

229
00:10:27,878 --> 00:10:29,880
Ta-da! I'm gonna win this.

230
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,925
For your new puppy?
Isn't that a tad overkill?

231
00:10:33,008 --> 00:10:36,095
No, it's not for Shannon, you goof.
It's for Mom and Watson.

232
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:40,349
-They're gonna have a baby.
-Oh my God! Kristy, congrats.

233
00:10:40,432 --> 00:10:43,811
As someone with approximately 40 siblings,
I can give you some tips.

234
00:10:43,894 --> 00:10:46,814
Thanks, but they haven't even told me yet.

235
00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:49,149
They told Dawn's mom
and then Dawn told me.

236
00:10:49,233 --> 00:10:53,404
I still say my mom
might have gotten the wrong info.

237
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:57,074
Yesterday, she did laundry with detergent
that turned out to be bubble soap.

238
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:59,868
Now my TreePeople T-shirt
is, like, iridescent.

239
00:10:59,952 --> 00:11:01,453
No, it's not like that.

240
00:11:01,537 --> 00:11:03,288
They think that I'm not cool

241
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:05,791
with the whole
Thomas-Brewer hyphenate situation,

242
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:08,001
and that I'm not down to expand the fam.

243
00:11:08,085 --> 00:11:11,130
But I am, and this bassinet is my proof.

244
00:11:11,213 --> 00:11:12,464
I love this idea.

245
00:11:13,841 --> 00:11:14,842
-Move.
-Okay.

246
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:15,759
Okay.

247
00:11:15,843 --> 00:11:17,761
Here are your instructions.

248
00:11:17,845 --> 00:11:20,681
Dawn. I need you to stall Mom and Watson.

249
00:11:20,764 --> 00:11:23,392
They can't come over here
under any circumstances.

250
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:24,643
This has to be a surprise.

251
00:11:24,727 --> 00:11:27,146
Operation Stall Parents. Got it.

252
00:11:27,229 --> 00:11:29,064
Okay. Mallory, Mary Anne,

253
00:11:29,148 --> 00:11:32,443
I need you guys to help me make sure
no one else bids on this bassinet.

254
00:11:32,526 --> 00:11:37,281
I have some babysitting money saved up,
but I'm not a billionaire or a Brewer.

255
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:40,325
How are we gonna stop people
bidding on it?

256
00:11:42,244 --> 00:11:45,706
The pouch goes like a crossbody. That way,
I won't have to deal with the strap.

257
00:11:45,789 --> 00:11:48,584
Perfect. Can't wait for you
to bust a pirouette on the runway.

258
00:11:48,667 --> 00:11:50,252
People will freak.

259
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:52,212
[Stacey] I was having
all the feelings tonight.

260
00:11:52,296 --> 00:11:55,966
Excited, proud, and really nervous.

261
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:58,343
So, how are you feeling?

262
00:11:58,427 --> 00:11:59,845
I was never feeling bad.

263
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:02,556
Okay, well, if you are, just let me know.

264
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:05,851
Claudia, I'm fine now. Let it go, okay?

265
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:11,482
Oh, look at this.

266
00:12:12,816 --> 00:12:14,568
Trust me, Ms. Papadakis.

267
00:12:14,651 --> 00:12:18,322
You think you want the baby stuff,
but you don't. Now, this…

268
00:12:19,782 --> 00:12:20,741
[Kristy] Excuse me.

269
00:12:23,327 --> 00:12:26,038
…power tool. This you're gonna need.

270
00:12:26,121 --> 00:12:27,414
Cool, Mom. Let's bid on that.

271
00:12:27,498 --> 00:12:28,832
Solid choice.

272
00:12:28,916 --> 00:12:31,794
You won't believe how much of this stuff
you have to put together.

273
00:12:31,877 --> 00:12:33,212
None of it comes assembled.

274
00:12:33,295 --> 00:12:34,588
-[drill whirs]
-[screams]

275
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:37,341
-Ah--
-[Kristy] I know!

276
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:38,801
You should bid on this.

277
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:40,636
I mean, it's for people with diabetes,

278
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:43,639
but it could also work
for a working mom on the go.

279
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:45,349
You could put in some baby wipes,

280
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:49,019
a pacifier, a snack in case
you're starving but can't leave the baby.

281
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:50,979
[Mary Anne] Trust us. We would know.

282
00:12:51,063 --> 00:12:53,607
-We're babysitters.
-[Mrs. Papadakis] It's perfect.

283
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:55,859
Yeah.

284
00:12:55,943 --> 00:12:57,694
We did it! We did it!

285
00:12:58,862 --> 00:13:00,906
You're a Scorpio, Liz?

286
00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:02,449
Really?

287
00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:03,867
Is that a bad sign?

288
00:13:03,951 --> 00:13:05,160
-Am I bad?
-[Dawn] No, no, no.

289
00:13:05,244 --> 00:13:09,623
It's just… How about I read your chart?
In fact, I can read all your charts.

290
00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:13,001
I… I'm gonna do a lap.
Sharon might be lost in the parking lot.

291
00:13:13,085 --> 00:13:14,545
-We're gonna go with him.
-Yeah.

292
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:16,129
-No, you can't leave!
-Why?

293
00:13:16,213 --> 00:13:19,007
Because, Liz, I really need you
to answer some questions

294
00:13:19,091 --> 00:13:20,425
about the real estate market.

295
00:13:20,509 --> 00:13:24,054
Will interest rates go up or down?

296
00:13:24,972 --> 00:13:29,101
And which one is better
for the, um, economy?

297
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:31,603
-All great questions, Dawn.
-Yeah.

298
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:37,025
Well, the thing about interest rates
is that they're set by the Federal Reserve

299
00:13:37,109 --> 00:13:41,154
and they are more affected by the economy
than the other way around.

300
00:13:42,281 --> 00:13:43,323
Oh, shoot.

301
00:13:43,407 --> 00:13:46,076
I can finish myself
if you want to sit down.

302
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,787
Maybe you should just take a sec
before the show starts?

303
00:13:48,871 --> 00:13:52,249
Claudia, why are you treating me
like I'm some invalid?

304
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:54,835
For the millionth time, I'm fine.

305
00:13:54,918 --> 00:13:58,255
-You just seem a little tired.
-Of course I'm tired, Jessi.

306
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:01,800
I've been planning a fashion show,
designing pouches, and preparing a speech.

307
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:03,802
But I can power through it like you, okay?

308
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:06,179
Jessi, I'm gonna go get the pouches.

309
00:14:06,263 --> 00:14:10,309
[Stacey] As much as I wanted to deny it,
I knew something wasn't right.

310
00:14:10,392 --> 00:14:13,353
I was suddenly extra tired and very moody.

311
00:14:13,437 --> 00:14:17,649
Both symptoms of low blood sugar, again.

312
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:20,777
[woman] Stacey, you're up next.
I'm gonna do an intro,

313
00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:23,864
you come out and do your speech,
then we're gonna do the fashion show.

314
00:14:24,615 --> 00:14:26,950
-You ready?
-Yeah. Ready.

315
00:14:29,995 --> 00:14:31,288
[Dawn] I guess what I'm saying is

316
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:35,292
I don't know if I really believe in
the institution of marriage.

317
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:39,046
No offense. Your wedding was beautiful.

318
00:14:39,129 --> 00:14:40,380
Oh, thank you.

319
00:14:40,464 --> 00:14:42,257
Well, it's a very personal choice.

320
00:14:42,341 --> 00:14:45,135
Honey, you want to go check out
the silent auction?

321
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:47,638
I would love to go check out
the silent auction.

322
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:48,722
Okay, let's do that.

323
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:52,476
-Wait, hold on. Just--
-Mom, Watson. Congratulations!

324
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,646
It's a bassinet. Nice, huh?

325
00:14:55,729 --> 00:14:58,231
-It's really heavy. Can you hold it?
-Okay.

326
00:14:58,315 --> 00:15:01,443
Honey, wh… what is this?
Wh… what's going on here?

327
00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,654
I know you've been trying to have a baby
for a while

328
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:06,114
and I also know
that some of my past behavior

329
00:15:06,198 --> 00:15:09,368
might indicate that I wouldn't want that,
but I really would.

330
00:15:09,451 --> 00:15:12,871
I love our new big family and I can't wait
for it to get even bigger.

331
00:15:13,664 --> 00:15:15,248
Uh, thank you.

332
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:16,917
Honey, I, um--

333
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,795
You guys, we'd better head backstage
before the show.

334
00:15:19,878 --> 00:15:22,547
Warning, Stacey seems
to really be on one tonight.

335
00:15:22,631 --> 00:15:24,716
-What do you mean?
-I think it's her diabetes.

336
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,011
She's really low energy and crabby.

337
00:15:28,095 --> 00:15:29,429
Very crabby.

338
00:15:29,513 --> 00:15:30,764
Hardworking.

339
00:15:30,847 --> 00:15:32,182
Smart.

340
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:33,350
Responsible.

341
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:37,729
These are just a few words that
describe our newest youth ambassador,

342
00:15:37,813 --> 00:15:39,940
Anastasia Elizabeth McGill.

343
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:42,484
You may know her as Stacey.

344
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:47,322
She is an example
of how one thrives with diabetes.

345
00:15:47,406 --> 00:15:51,284
And as you all know,
a lot of type 1's are children…

346
00:15:51,368 --> 00:15:52,661
[Kristy] Hey, Stace.

347
00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:58,417
-Hey. Um, just start lining up.
-Don't you have to do your speech first?

348
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:00,836
Right. Yeah.

349
00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:03,964
Hey, Stace. Are you okay?
Claudia told us you weren't--

350
00:16:04,047 --> 00:16:05,340
Claudia! Seriously?

351
00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:07,467
You're telling everyone?

352
00:16:08,010 --> 00:16:09,803
-[sarcastically] Great best friend.
-I'm sorry.

353
00:16:09,886 --> 00:16:13,140
Please welcome to the stage Stacey McGill!

354
00:16:13,682 --> 00:16:14,599
[Stacey sighs]

355
00:16:16,768 --> 00:16:18,395
-I didn't mean to--
-It's fine.

356
00:16:23,608 --> 00:16:28,363
[cheering, applauding]

357
00:16:28,447 --> 00:16:29,406
Um…

358
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,033
Hi, everyone.

359
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:34,453
Thank you so much
for having me here tonight.

360
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:38,999
Um, when I was first diagnosed
with type 1 diabetes,

361
00:16:39,082 --> 00:16:40,709
I thought my life was over.

362
00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:44,379
But, um…

363
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:51,386
[Stacey] I was supposed to say diabetes
had turned me into someone ultra-mature

364
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,929
who had it all under control.

365
00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:54,806
But look at me.

366
00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:56,933
It was a total lie.

367
00:16:57,934 --> 00:16:58,894
I'm sorry.

368
00:16:59,603 --> 00:17:00,937
I can't do this. I…

369
00:17:01,646 --> 00:17:03,315
I really don't feel well.

370
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:05,734
Is my doctor here?

371
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:08,987
I know I gave myself
the right amount of insulin.

372
00:17:09,071 --> 00:17:11,198
-Did you eat your regular dinner?
-No.

373
00:17:11,281 --> 00:17:12,115
I knew it.

374
00:17:12,199 --> 00:17:13,784
Stacey, we talked about this.

375
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:16,703
Mr. and Mrs. McGill,
I think we need to hear from Stacey.

376
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:20,248
I'm just so embarrassed.

377
00:17:20,332 --> 00:17:22,542
You were the one
who recommended me to the JDRF

378
00:17:22,626 --> 00:17:25,253
and got me invited to this thing,
and now look at me.

379
00:17:25,921 --> 00:17:27,714
My sugar's out of control.

380
00:17:29,216 --> 00:17:30,133
I'm a phony.

381
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:34,471
There is no perfect representative
for diabetes.

382
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:37,891
Everyone has good days and bad days,
no matter how on top of it they are.

383
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,102
I really thought
it was just a numbers game,

384
00:17:40,185 --> 00:17:43,105
and if I figured it out,
I wouldn't make mistakes.

385
00:17:43,188 --> 00:17:44,189
I'd be okay.

386
00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:46,233
And you will be okay.

387
00:17:47,025 --> 00:17:50,195
When I first got diagnosed,
I just felt so powerless in my body.

388
00:17:51,446 --> 00:17:54,074
I don't ever want to go back
to feeling that way.

389
00:17:54,157 --> 00:17:57,577
[Dr. Arevalo] But you might sometimes.
It's a lifelong disease.

390
00:17:58,578 --> 00:17:59,663
But you know, Stacey,

391
00:18:00,539 --> 00:18:02,165
not being ashamed of your disease

392
00:18:02,249 --> 00:18:05,085
doesn't mean
you have to love having it all the time.

393
00:18:05,168 --> 00:18:07,379
-Sometimes it sucks.
-[Stacey chuckles]

394
00:18:07,462 --> 00:18:08,380
Right?

395
00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:09,798
-Yeah.
-[chuckling]

396
00:18:10,966 --> 00:18:11,883
Cheers.

397
00:18:13,343 --> 00:18:15,178
To being kind to yourself.

398
00:18:15,846 --> 00:18:16,763
Cheers.

399
00:18:16,847 --> 00:18:17,889
Cheers.

400
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,933
-Cheers.
-Cheers.

401
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,313
So, fun night.

402
00:18:25,397 --> 00:18:26,982
Go diabetes!

403
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:30,360
Not "go" in a positive sense.
I mean, it's a disease.

404
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:31,528
People are suffering.

405
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:32,904
-Yeah.
-Yeah. Okay.

406
00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:36,825
I'm gonna go upstairs and see
if Andrew can fit in this bassinet.

407
00:18:36,908 --> 00:18:40,495
-[Liz giggles]
-Maybe you guys can have a little chat.

408
00:18:40,579 --> 00:18:42,414
-We got it, Watson.
-Right. I'm just saying.

409
00:18:42,497 --> 00:18:43,707
-Talk it out!
-[Liz] Yeah. Bye.

410
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:47,169
[laughing]

411
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:51,965
I'm sorry I got you that baby gift.
I thought it would make you happy.

412
00:18:52,048 --> 00:18:54,342
Oh, baby, it did.

413
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:58,096
I didn't think for one second

414
00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:01,057
that you wouldn't be supportive
of us having another baby.

415
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,893
In fact, I knew you would be.

416
00:19:02,976 --> 00:19:05,604
-It's kind of why I didn't tell you.
-[Kristy] What do you mean?

417
00:19:06,897 --> 00:19:11,193
Well, you know,
having a baby at any stage,

418
00:19:11,276 --> 00:19:13,820
it can be a journey,
but especially at my age.

419
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:17,991
There could be setbacks.
I just didn't want to tell everyone

420
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:21,661
until I knew for sure
that we were gonna try

421
00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:25,957
or maybe even
until we knew it could happen.

422
00:19:26,791 --> 00:19:29,502
Really? It's gonna be that hard?

423
00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:32,088
I don't know. There's just no guarantees.

424
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:33,965
And when I saw you

425
00:19:35,008 --> 00:19:38,470
get so excited telling us
how much you love our family

426
00:19:39,387 --> 00:19:43,141
and how you can't wait
for it to get even bigger…

427
00:19:45,143 --> 00:19:48,688
I just felt all this pressure,
because what if I can't give you that?

428
00:19:50,357 --> 00:19:52,776
You know? I don't want
to get your hopes up, or mine.

429
00:19:54,194 --> 00:19:55,612
Oh no, Mom.

430
00:19:57,364 --> 00:20:01,451
No matter what happens,
we have this, and that's enough.

431
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:04,037
You're amazing.

432
00:20:04,913 --> 00:20:05,747
Mm.

433
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,962
Oh God, I'm already so emotional.

434
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:16,007
Can you imagine what I'll be like
if I have to go on hormones or something?

435
00:20:16,841 --> 00:20:18,927
So you guys are gonna try? It's official?

436
00:20:19,010 --> 00:20:20,345
-Kristy.
-Mom.

437
00:20:20,428 --> 00:20:22,389
It's a process, remember?

438
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:23,765
-I know.
-Okay.

439
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:25,558
I'm just excited. A baby!

440
00:20:25,642 --> 00:20:28,353
I mean, potentially. No pressure.

441
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:30,313
Thank you.

442
00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:33,733
-[laughing]
-[Liz] I love you.

443
00:20:34,234 --> 00:20:36,444
[Stacey] Looks like
remembering to be kind to yourself

444
00:20:36,528 --> 00:20:40,573
doesn't just apply to perfectionist
eighth graders living with diabetes.

445
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:43,326
-It's for everyone.
-Ow! Torture chamber!

446
00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:45,620
Okay, well, maybe if you just sit still.

447
00:20:45,704 --> 00:20:48,331
When Stacey does it, it doesn't hurt.
Just saying.

448
00:20:48,415 --> 00:20:49,416
Where is Stacey?

449
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:51,835
I don't know,
but she's 4 minutes, 23 seconds late.

450
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:53,086
[Stacey] Hi.

451
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:54,421
Sorry for my tardiness.

452
00:20:54,504 --> 00:20:55,338
It's okay.

453
00:20:58,216 --> 00:21:02,887
Okay, look. I owe all of you an apology
for being such a fashion show-zilla.

454
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:06,057
When my blood sugar is messed up,
it makes me really irritable,

455
00:21:06,141 --> 00:21:07,934
which isn't an excuse, but--

456
00:21:08,018 --> 00:21:11,646
We know, and we don't care, Stace.
We're just glad you're feeling better.

457
00:21:11,730 --> 00:21:13,690
Claudia, I'm so sorry.

458
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:16,109
All you were trying to do
was look out for me.

459
00:21:16,943 --> 00:21:19,821
And, Jessi, I'm sorry
for snapping at you too.

460
00:21:20,405 --> 00:21:22,907
But the truth is
it wasn't just my blood sugar.

461
00:21:23,742 --> 00:21:25,118
The truth is I'm jealous,

462
00:21:25,201 --> 00:21:27,912
because your body
can do all these amazing things

463
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:30,415
and mine needs major effort
just to work right.

464
00:21:31,041 --> 00:21:31,916
It's all good.

465
00:21:32,751 --> 00:21:33,585
Group hug?

466
00:21:34,878 --> 00:21:38,548
[laughing]

467
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:42,594
Uh, guys, I hate to ruin the moment,
but, Stacey, can I ask why you were late?

468
00:21:43,303 --> 00:21:46,348
I got distracted by a little something
that came in the mail.

469
00:21:48,391 --> 00:21:49,351
[girls gasp]

470
00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:51,978
Stace, you look amazing! Oh my gosh!

471
00:21:52,062 --> 00:21:54,647
"Stacey McGill,
navigating the highs and lows."

472
00:21:54,731 --> 00:21:56,441
It's a good headline, right?

473
00:21:56,524 --> 00:21:59,486
I don't want to be
some perfect poster child for diabetes.

474
00:21:59,569 --> 00:22:01,446
I'm still just figuring things out.

475
00:22:01,529 --> 00:22:03,365
I think you're doing pretty great.

476
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:05,367
Hello? The pouches you made
sold out, and--

477
00:22:05,450 --> 00:22:07,911
Due to my persuasive sales skills.

478
00:22:07,994 --> 00:22:11,373
I wish we could have modeled them.
My life's in desperate need of glamour.

479
00:22:11,456 --> 00:22:12,957
You guys, we still can.

480
00:22:14,084 --> 00:22:18,046

The best at math, the best at style,

that's the most important.
