[upbeat music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Huh.
It's super nice of you to offer me a ride home,
but I'm really more of a walker.
Get in the car.
Oh, leather seats. Classy.
[engine revving]
[mom] Oh, I'm so ready for this.
- Let's eat. - [doorbell rings]
I'm gonna sew that boy's keys into his jacket.
He'd only lose the jacket.
[mom] Kayla?
But you're upstairs.
[Luke] Anton.
What's happened? Are you okay?
- She broke into my rink. - Wait. She did what?
Your daughter's out of control.
[mom] Anton, I'm so sorry. Um...
Would you like to come in?
[whimsical music playing]
Hey, Sky, something huge just happened,
and I have literally no one to tell in this town, so I'm telling you.
[Sky] Okay, but if you drank too much blue slushy,
it's probably a hallucination.
[chuckles]
I met someone at the rink just now. Someone I can skate with.
[Sky] Wait. What do you mean "just now"? The rink closed, like, two hours ago.
That's not the point.
[Sky] That sounds like it should be the point.
I felt it. The connection.
We knew exactly what the other was gonna do.
Sky, I have to find 67.
[gasps] Ah!
[birds chirping]
Pfft. Pfft.
[groans]
"Welcome to the Hammers."
- [balloon pops] - [Mac] Oh, come on!
[balloons popping]
[squeaking]
Huh. See, I thought you'd know you were grounded
without me actually having to say the words.
I'm so sorry.
I was stupid, and I... I didn't think,
and I just... I just really need to get back to the rink.
I want to apologize to Mr. Hammarström properly.
[mom] Okay.
Will you keep an eye on her?
We can't afford to fall out with Anton right now.
Relax. I made him some banana bread.
[scoffs] Luke.
This man owns our house, your job, and our son's entire hockey career.
It'll take more than pudding to keep him sweet.
Believe in the bread, baby.
I'll believe it when...
What?
- Nothing. - Nothing.
[engine revving]
[rap music playing inside]
Okay, everybody, act functional.
Hey.
[laughs]
[sighs]
You know Anton and I turned pro on the exact same day?
Now look at him.
Sports car, his own rink...
[Kayla] Ow!
- Dad! - [Mac] It's balloon static!
I can't help it!
Super obedient offspring.
[Kayla growls]
Thanks for the lift, Dad.
I love to listen to hardcore dansband first thing in the morning.
- Are you busy later? Do you want to... - I'm working.
...get a milkshake or something?
[sighs]
[upbeat music playing]
[cheering]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever.
You survived your initiation, bro. Now it's official. You're a Hammer.
We got you good, man.
Please, I was awake the whole time.
Yeah, you should probably go see a doctor, man.
You snore pretty loud when you're awake.
Just didn't wanna spoil your fun. I knew exactly what you guys were up to.
Takes more than that to prank Mac Mac...
[chuckling]
[balloon pops]
[laughing]
[sighs]
- No need to blow up about it, man. - [booing]
What's his problem?
I didn't even do the bees.
[rap music playing]
[Kayla] Sixty-seven, 67...
No 67.
[Anton] Good morning, Holly.
Mr. Hammarström, I'm here to apologize.
Wrong. You're here to clean.
I've spoken to your parents. They've agreed it's a fitting punishment.
I expect you to do the dressing rooms, the corridors, the gym,
under the drinks machine.
Especially under the drinks machine.
Can I start upstairs?
Start where you like.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Kayla] So, which one of you is number 67?
[player] Hey, balloon boy!
[bangs]
Let me guess.
[sighs]
No bee stings on you, so balloons?
Aw, did you get scared when one went bang?
Yeah, maybe a little.
They're just messing with you. Don't take yourself so seriously.
Says the one who's studying in the corner?
What's this? Advanced Doodling?
Careful. You'll get hockey on it.
This is junior stuff. I thought we were the same age?
Give it back.
Okay.
What, are you retaking the year?
Hey, that's... that's not a bad thing. I'm not exactly a genius either.
I missed a few classes last year.
A lot of classes, actually.
Oh.
Well...
how come?
It's really not important.
It's okay. You can tell me.
I was ill.
Oh, right.
Sorry.
Don't be. I was ill last year, and now I'm not.
I had a cyst on my foot last year.
Kept me out of school for a month.
- That's gross. [laughs] - It was gross.
Named it Barry.
I had leukemia.
[somber music playing]
Important word being had. It's gone.
Done and dusted. Ancient history.
And most importantly, I never had a Barry.
[chuckles]
Anyway, I... My shift started five minutes ago, so...
Here, let me carry your bag.
I don't need you to carry my bag.
- No, really, it's okay. I... - Honestly, leave it.
It's okay. It's no big deal.
Sky?
Hey.
[sighs]
You know, one time back in Canada,
he let a raccoon in the house because he thought it was a cat.
So, basically, what I'm trying to say is he's probably just being an idiot.
I suppose it's sort of his thing. Hammarström got you mopping?
Oh, yeah.
I am one glass skate away from going full Cinderella.
[chuckles]
[Luke] Hey, let's go.
Good. Good.
Come on. Hey.
Move the puck.
Good.
Slot pass.
Yeah. Yeah.
Good.
Keep it going. Pass it back.
Hey, we're passing, buddy.
Mac.
Pass it.
- Pass it. - Pass.
[Luke] Give it!
Ah. Come on.
Sorry, man. I don't know what's gotten into him.
- It's not your son I'm worried about. - It's not?
Look at them all.
Their turns are clumsy, slows them down.
It's the same problem Mac had yesterday when your daughter was...
Maybe we could do some one-touch shooting drills?
- Some King of the Hill, or... - I'll be back.
Oh!
Do you really think one of those lumps is a wannabe figure skater?
Yup. They're just hiding it really, really well.
If I could get up close with them and try some moves,
I'd find 67 in no time. I just need to get on the ice.
I want you on the ice now.
Uhh.
The team are too slow. I need you to skate with them.
Let me get this straight. You want me to come on the ice
and figure skate with each member of your team?
Ideally, one-on-one.
- [Kayla] I'm cleaning. - Forget the cleaning.
I don't like leaving a job half-finished.
You're asking her to work for free, against Geneva Convention terms.
- She's right. - Okay, name your terms.
No more cleaning.
- Ever. - Okay.
- Free slushies. - You broke into my rink.
And now you need me. Free slushies for life.
Done.
Hm. I'll start a tab.
Well, come on, coach! Let's go!
[blows whistle]
Gather round.
These cuts in the ice where you turn.
You're relying too much on your skate digging in!
The turn needs to come from the body!
Graceful, fast, like...
A figure skater.
Exactly.
Kayla?
[suspenseful music playing]
- What's she doing here? - Kayla's leading the drills today.
Howdy.
[laughs]
- What? - Anton, this is a bad idea, buddy.
I only have great ideas. Begin!
[classical music playing]
Okay, everyone. Let's go.
[rap music playing]
The key is visualization.
You have to imagine yourself doing the impossible.
[playful classical dance music plays]
Like that, basically.
Okay. Come on. Cool down!
Let's go!
Ava.
No way.
Can I help you?
I know your secret.
I don't have a secret.
Then explain this.
So, I'm a hockey fan.
And you've been skating here in hockey gear at night.
I practice from 5 a.m. with my mother. Why would I skate at night?
I don't know, but you're number 67.
This is my dad's shirt from the '90s.
And you have it because...
What are you, the ice police?
Look, I don't know what you're looking for, but it's not me.
Does your dad know you're into hockey?
If your name is not in that program, you don't exist.
[Kayla chuckles]
Maybe you should try out for the Hammers. That'd get his attention.
You really are as crazy as people say.
[phone ringing]
[ringing]
Kayla. Hi.
Hey.
[Jacob] Sorry about yesterday.
You know my mom.
Yeah, yeah. I know your mom. [laughs]
How are you? How are you doing?
Well, I thought I found the perfect new partner.
Oh, that's great.
But I don't think it's gonna work out.
Oh.
I can't help but feel like it's fate telling me that we should be together.
Jacob?
Oh, sorry. Bad connection.
Are you at a train station?
[Jacob] We don't have a train station, silly.
Well, then, where are you?
Uh...
at the movies.
Isn't it like 7 a.m. there?
Uh yeah. It's a super early showing.
Listen, can we talk later?
And hang in there. Don't give up on this new skater of yours.
He sounds fantastic.
- But I didn't even tell you anything abo... - [hang-up tone sounding]
About him.
What?
I hope I baked you enough banana bread to compensate for Mac today.
- I don't know what got into him. - He did nothing wrong.
Individual gifts like his don't always make for the best team spirit.
Yeah, but team spirit's critical for success, so...
For weaker teammates, perhaps.
Not surprised Mac doesn't see it that way. I didn't when we were playing.
[laughs]
Look. I better get back because Jenny's making a big dinner, so...
[Anton] Enjoy.
[clears throat]
Look, you wanna come?
I have dinner.
[chuckles]
I can't tell you how much better boiled rice would taste on a plate.
I called it the Blaagh,
mostly because of how I felt,
but also because of how I felt talking about it.
Also, I have an uncle called Barry, so that name was taken.
Look, I'm sorry if I got it wrong.
It's cool, honestly.
Guess nobody likes being treated differently.
Yeah, I guess not.
[chuckles]
Anyway, now that you've learned that particular life lesson,
you can start thinking about...
revenge.
[Luke] Babe?
Oh, come on.
- What you doing? - Anton's coming.
Oh no. What's Kayla done now?
[Luke] No, no. Nothing.
It was me.
I invited him for dinner.
Oh.
Yeah. Hey, buddy.
[Jenny chuckles] Hi.
- Hey. - Hi, Anton. Hey...
I could've sworn I gave you a house with a pool.
Yeah, most of my houses have them.
Oh.
[Jenny] Yeah.
I'm gonna check outside.
[sighs]
- We can stretch it to five. - Thank you.
Mom, is it cool if Ava eats with us?
Uh, or maybe six.
Got a guest.
- Hey, Mrs. MacBentley. - [Jenny] Hi.
Sky?
- Pizza. - Pizza.
Yeah, so we don't usually let the kids eat this stuff.
Which is why we're on first-name terms with the delivery guy.
- Can I get you something to drink, coach? - Yeah. Water.
Yes, sir.
Kayla? Close your mouth.
Ladies.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
All right.
- There you are. No worries. - Thank you.
Can I get a water too, please, Mac?
With ice?
So, pretty good, huh?
I'm never allowed pizza at home.
[gasps] Anton, I can't believe you've deprived your daughter of pizza
for all these years.
Oh, no. I don't... I live with my mother.
Yeah, who's also Ava's skating coach
'cause Ava is a really great figure skater.
Really?
Well, Kayla loves figure skating.
- Who choreographs your routines? - Um, mama.
- How often do you practice? - I don't think she...
It's fine. I'm just interested.
I mean, you've not met any figure skaters since you got here, so...
Sure she has.
I don't think Archie counts.
There's one sitting right next to you.
- Sky doesn't skate. - Can I get a slice of the pepperoni?
There is a box of old trophies at the rink. Her name's on all of them.
- [Kayla] You told me you don't skate. - It was a long time ago.
Yeah, Kayla. Let's, uh... Let's just drop it.
But why would you wanna keep that a secret?
It was you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're the secret skater. You're number 67.
Wait. That was you at the rink last night?
Hang on. Why were you there?
Okay, who wants ice cream?
So Mac was the anonymous tip-off.
- You told on me? - [Luke] I've got salted caramel.
You were being a total jerk. Showing me up in front of everyone?
- Or any more garlic bread? - I've mopped all day thanks to you.
You got what you deserved.
- Guys? - I didn't make you break the law.
Guys!
- What? - What?
Sky left.
Oh.
[Jenny] Hey, Kayla, Mac, get back here right now.
Anton, Ava, I'm so sorry.
Are you kidding? This is the best meal ever.
Can I come again?
Kayla.
Kayla, look, just promise. Go easy on Sky.
I'll talk to my friend however I want.
- You don't understand. - Oh, I do. You want her all to yourself.
Just like the rink and this whole town and this family.
- It's not like that. - Whatever.
[Ava] That was fun.
- [Anton] A lot of pizza. - Yeah. A lot of pizza.
What's going on?
Mama, did you track me again?
You're late for training.
I was just having dinner with Dad.
So I see. Thanks for letting me know.
I didn't think pizza parties were your scene.
Pizza? You let her have pizza?
- She had fun. - Fun's not gonna help her win Blade Star.
You mean help you win.
I want to play hockey.
What?
You playing... [laughs]
...hockey?
[laughing]
You're kidding, right?
[laughing]
That's good.
Yeah.
Kidding.
- Got you. - Yeah.
Come on.
Let's go to the rink.
Hockey.
Yeah. Hockey.
[laughing]
Hey. 67. Wait up.
You lied to me.
[Sky] I didn't lie. I just
didn't tell you the truth.
You listened to me ramble on about my secret skating partner.
You let me go on a wild-goose chase.
- I completely embarrassed myself. - I know. I'm sorry.
I thought I was going crazy!
Please just keep your voice down.
Why didn't you just tell me you were the secret skater?
- You've been skating? - [Kayla] Not just skating.
Totally burning up the ice. She's amazing.
Mom, I wore hockey padding and a helmet. I was safe.
- I promise... - You shouldn't be skating at all.
I don't understand.
Oh, she didn't tell you. She's sick.
I was sick.
[Holly] It doesn't work like that, Sky. You know that.
You know what the risks are if you start skating now.
The bruising, brittle bones, the chance that you might...
Mum, I'm sorry.
I swear to you, for real this time,
I'll never skate again.
No, not never. Of course not never.
Just not now, okay?
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
[knocking]
- Permission to enter? - Since when have you asked?
[Mac] Mm.
- So you know, then. - Yeah.
I'm... I'm sorry, if...
[Kayla] I'm... I'm sorry.
You tried to stop me going after Sky,
and I just made everything so much worse for her.
I really thought 67 would be the answer, you know? And...
What happened?
Is that another prank?
Kinda.
[upbeat music playing]
[laughing]
Look.
Okay, we're MacBentleys.
Yeah, we take a punch, but we come back fighting.
We don't give up.
[chuckles]
- Are you getting that from a book? - Cereal box. [laughs]
- Get lost. I need to make a call. - All right.
[ringing]
Hey, it's Jacob. I don't listen to these, but if you wanna leave...
Ugh, voice mail.
You know, Jacob's definitely ghosting you.
Really? Well, let's check.
[keyboard clacking]
Wait. What?
[Mac] Kayla?
Jacob wasn't at the train station, and he wasn't at the movies.
He's not in Canada at all.
He's right here in England.
Why would he lie?
[theme music playing]
