A beat while Franny waits for PV's reaction. PV smiles. Then Franny smiles.
Then... That was depressing.
Peavy and Franny look to the doorway. Standing there is Joanna, 18, one of Peavy's infinite sisters.

Chapter 3: What happens when Franny writes a love song?
Get out of my room, Joanna! Fine. But, uh, Franny, you should consider a diminished three chord instead of the minor four. It's less trite.
Joanna leaves. Who was that? And how did she know my name?
That's Joanna. She's one of my sisters.
She doesn't look like you.
And she has awful taste in music. Maybe she's adopted. Or I am. Now, let's take a look at this.
PV takes out a photograph. What is it?
The Overton Orchestra. We need to figure out who wrote my hate note. Oh, okay.
In set, a picture of the Overton Orchestra.
The handwriting definitely belongs to a boy, so we can eliminate all the girls.

Chapter 4: How do alliances shift within the band?
No. I assume most people hate me.
They probably do.
Somehow, at some point, Joanna has reentered the room.
Get out of here, Joanna. Remember, Franny.
Diminish three.
Court.
She holds up three fingers and uses them to make one of those I'm watching you gestures, then leaves.
Sorry. Though she's probably right about the cord.
Interior Overton High hallway. Just outside the music room, the members of the orchestra have begun to file in for practice. PV and Franny wait outside until they spot Max.

Chapter 5: What role does competition play in their journey?
Franny unfolds it. In set, the note is written in a small and serious hand. Peevee, I think you are extremely beautiful.
This isn't a hate note. It's a love note.
I guess I read it more ironically, you know? Like, I think you're extremely beautiful.
Why would you read it that way?
Anyway, mystery solved. Thanks for your help, Franny.
Franny looks on helplessly. Interior Franny's house, evening. Franny sits on the couch, staring at the TV, which isn't on. His mother enters. Marion Blevins is a loving but strident woman who believes the world can be shaped by those with the fortitude to bother trying.
I love this show. Hey, Mom. Something's wrong. What's wrong? I like a girl. That's the problem? Yes.
No.
Marion sits down on the couch.

Chapter 6: How does Franny deal with jealousy and rivalry?
AJ, you're a genius. I know.
AJ hits Franny with a ball.
Ow! We're on the same team. And...
Interior, Overton High Lunchroom later, PV is at the front of the lunch line paying for lunch, a Butterfinger, two packages of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and a Red Bull.
New state law says I have to tell you to eat a salad. Okay. Eat a salad.
Thank you. That's my ringtone. Eat a salad.
PV leaves the line and runs into Franny.
Oh, hey.
Franny notices PV's lunch.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the Gentle Mediation of the Bands?
We shouldn't be entering competitions or doing interviews. Why not? Just talk to Ruzo, okay? We need to get our lineup in place before we start thinking about winning prizes.
Okay.
PV walks off. Franny looks over at a trash can and sees a kid hidden inside.
I'm playing hide-and-seek. I've been in here since yesterday. Nobody's found me. Impressive. Yeah. It isn't as satisfying as I'd expected.
They both consider this... Interior, Overton High practice room, afternoon. A very small practice room with soundproof walls and a grand piano. Ruzzo, who is very serious, sits with his eyes closed listening to a Mastering the Triangle tape. Franny enters.
You must treat the triangle like a lover. Be gentle but firm. Be caring but independent. Never let her sense your fear. Um, hello?
Ruzzo switches off the tape deck.
Franny! How are you, my friend? Sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to let you know you have been, uh, invited to join my band. Our band. Me and Peavy. Peavy wants me to join her band? Yes. We both do. Our band. So, rehearsals are on Thursdays. I'll text you the address.
Ruzzo suddenly hugs Franny.

Chapter 8: How do Franny and PV redefine success?
Liu raises the massive trophy overhead. Peavey and Franny watch from the audience. They each hold a very small participation trophy.
On the other hand, early success can have its own drawbacks.
The weight of the trophy causes Liu to fall over backward. Students rush to help her.
Yeah, I think that's very true.
You want to go write a song?
I do. They walk out of the auditorium. On the way, they throw their participation trophies in the trash. We stay on the trophies for a beat. Then a large, fuzzy mitt reaches into the trash and pulls one of the trophies back out. Pulling back, we see it's the bulldog mascot. He scans the plaque on the front of the trophy. It reads, Congratulations, Peavy and Franny.
It is better to have participated and lost than never to have participated at all. The bulldog looks up, watching as Peavy and Franny leave the auditorium together. Who's in there anyway? What's he thinking? We don't know, and maybe we never will know, because that's the end of this unproduced television pilot. The end.
