Oh, what the? Oh my god. You okay?
>> Amara, me and my five sisters. >> Whatever phase you're going through, it ends now. Let's go, Kayla.
How the >> brain stops. >> Sorry. >> How'd you and your little girlfriend meet?
>> How long have you guys been together? She must be using you for your money. >> No, no, no.
[music] You guys got her all wrong. You see, we met at Hastings Academy when she [music] started 2 years ago. And I was the one who made the first move, not her.
[music] >> Hey, uh, is someone here sitting here? >> It's all you. >> [music] >> Sorry.
>> Are we Are we reading the same book? >> We are. >> Wow.
>> Basically, she's insane. And if we don't work on building the spirit, then >> she didn't know anything about me. >> She never used me [music] for anything.
Thank you. >> Whenever we go out, she never even lets me pay for her. >> Open it.
>> I've tried to give her gifts. I can't accept these, but she's never taken them. >> Oh my gosh, >> so you see, she's not what you guys think she is.
She's the most amazing person I know. >> I don't trust her. >> You seriously think she's this person?
>> Guys, >> what would mother and father think about [music] all of this? They didn't travel all around the world searching for their perfect chosen children just to have their one son settle down at 17 with a scholarship student. >> I really care about her.
You care about how she makes you feel. That's not love. That's being a teenager.
Everything you have, your school, your future, your name comes from this family. I'll tell you what, if she passes our five challenges, you can continue seeing each other. [music] If not, I never want to hear her name come out of your mouth ever again.
As mother and father said, if you don't follow family orders, you'll be cut off for good. [music] [music] >> Thank you. >> Bye.
Imagine settling. And you don't have to. You know, you're in here before he realizes.
Era, my parents are gone this weekend. You should come over. Call me if you get bored.
>> Hey, Mar. >> Hey. >> Look, um, there's more to me.
Well, more to my family that I haven't told you about. >> The way those girls are looking at you over there made it seem like you're some crown prince or something. I just hope this doesn't change anything between us.
[music] [laughter] >> Do you know what this is about? Okay, so my sisters are kind of insane. They want you to pass all these challenges to be with me.
It's really dumb and like you don't really have to do this thing. [music] >> That's my youngest sister, Andrea. She's a worldrenowned martial artist.
>> Ready for your first challenge? I promise it's not as easy as I make it look. [music] It's not too late to forfeit.
Do you even know what a tetsui is? Like an iron hammer? Breaking a board?
I think I can manage. I've broken through barriers a lot harder than boards in my life. Fine.
For this first challenge, you'll have to perform a kata. I'll go first and then you'll repeat after me. [music] Simple.
Right now it's your turn. Same kata. Don't mess up.
>> You don't have to do this. [music] She's been ridiculous. >> Caleb might have a point.
Might be best to just take the L now. >> All the world's a stage. The men and women are merely players.
They have their exits and entrances. [music] I know this, Mom. [music] School counselor did say that you could drop down a level in English if you need to.
It's okay, honey. I can go ahead and give her a call for you. No, Mom.
All the kids think I already don't belong there. I don't want to prove them right. Just Shakespeare [music] is hard and speeches are like way too long to memorize.
I'm not going to drop down, but I think I might have to take [music] the L on this assignment. >> Fine. But you are not going to take the L.
Why don't you try breaking it down into smaller parts? >> I'll do it. Show me again.
Fine. I'll spare [music] the wood this time. You're up.
Yes, that was incredible. >> Good job. [laughter] >> Oh, wow.
>> Congratulations. You passed. >> You're so amazing.
Iris. She's one of the top ranked archers in the world. Love requires aim.
Let's see if yours is true. Looks like it's time for your next test. All you need to do to pass this next challenge is to hit the target.
Not the bullseye, just the target. But to make things interesting, [music] [music] your turn. You feel that heart beating fast, hands shaking.
This is the part where most people miss. It's because they forget to breathe. [music] This is going to be such a train wreck.
I know. No one would even want to be here to see tomorrow if we weren't forced to be >> dumb. [laughter] Tomorrow house, you look so pretty.
Amara, is everything okay? [singing] >> Don't worry. I'm going to go kick him out.
>> No, don't. I can hand out myself and it's just going to make things worse if I look like a [music] tattoo. Look, breathe.
Okay? Don't [music] worry about them. Just just block them all out.
The noise, the distractions, because that's all it is, noise. You got this. >> [music] [music] >> Yes.
>> Yes. [laughter] >> Congratulations. You passed.
>> Yes. Good job. >> All right, let me know if there's anything else I can get.
Hey, beautiful. >> Hey, do you mind if I take my break? >> Hey, >> here.
My sisters would never think that I come here. >> What? What do you mean?
This is like as fine dining as it gets. Wow. Only $14 for a steak.
I'm going to get that and a shake. What are you feeling? >> I'm not that hungry.
I'll just get a side fries. Hey, I can get you whatever you like. It's okay.
I'm not that hungry. >> So, apparently my baby brother has a girlfriend, which is adorable. I mean that sincerely.
She's very literary, you know, like the type that lives in stories more than real rooms. But confidence, that's not something you find on a library shelf. So, here's a little invitation.
Let's see how you do when people are watching. Amara, >> my sister Stella, she's a TV personality. Reality TV rose battles.
Honestly, you don't have to. ought to be interesting. [music] >> The rules are simple, Amara.
All you need to do is make it through the roast and you pass. Simple enough. Now, let's keep it hot.
Everyone, give a warm welcome to our roasters. [cheering] Okay, first of all, can we talk about how brave Amara is? >> [laughter] >> I mean, showing up here with a shirt that says, "I got this at Goodwill is truly courageous.
" [laughter] >> You know, Amara is a scholarship kid, which is amazing. Truth is, she's not here to learn. She's here to make the rest of us look charitable.
[laughter] No, seriously, we love Amara at Hastings Academy. It's like the school gets a tax write off every time she shows up. [laughter] I actually think it's cute you and Caleb are together in a billionaire takes pity on a straight dog kind of way.
[laughter] It's too bad most straight dogs end up at the pound. [laughter] Oh, she looks so uncomfortable. [laughter] Who did this?
[laughter] No, no, no, no. Don't say anything. I don't want them to know that they're getting to me.
You know what I say? [music] Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Besides, [music] between you and me, those girls are lucky they're trust fun babies.
No college is knocking down their doors. They're just [music] jealous of you. [laughter] >> Amara, seems like you may have hurt your feelings.
Girl, >> we can be done. No, please keep them coming. [music] >> That was so amazing.
You were cool as a cucumber. They just couldn't crack you. I mean, [music] [music] that's my second oldest sister, Bren.
She's a fancy world champion. No pressure. Touché.
Well, the rules are simple. First one to three clean touches [music] wins. No coaching, no commentary.
Reset after every point. Oh, and did I mention that we're going to be fencing completely blind? You won't [music] see me and I won't see you.
Ready? >> [music] >> One. Two.
>> I don't want to be a seeker. I never get to hide. >> That's too bad.
Then you'll just have to find us. [music] Hey, how about I help you out with this round? >> No, it's okay.
>> Well, I'll give you a tip instead. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean you can't hear them. [music] Two for one.
Two [music] for two. Three. [panting and gasps] [music] You passed.
Nicely done. >> Yes. Yes.
Yes. You did it. That was so great.
[music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] to you for making it [music] further than any of us anticipated.
[music] It's not poisoned and it's rude not to drink following a toast. >> [bell] [music] >> Does everything need to be spelled out for you? That's why you're here.
>> Respectfully, I'm here for a challenge, not for dinner. >> I thought you'd be delighted to dine in an [music] establishment like this. It is a once- ina-lifetime opportunity for someone like you.
>> Clearly, you don't know me. >> No, I know all about you, Amara. More than you [music] realize.
Daughter of a single [music] mother. You grew up in a small one-bedroom apartment. Your mother has a [music] disability.
Your father left when you were 12. And you got a job working at a diner to support you and your mother while attending Hastings Academy on a scholarship. And you're trying desperately to keep yourself afloat, [music] especially after that eviction last year.
>> Is there a point with all this or you just writing my [music] biography for me? >> My point, Amara, is that yours and my brother's lives could not be more [music] opposite. So tell me, why do you want to date my baby brother?
[music] Exactly as I suspected. >> When I started at Hastings Academy, he was very kind to me. Pretty sure that's a scholarship kid.
>> I heard she lives in a trailer park. >> Oh, sorry. >> It's okay.
You all right? Um, do you need some help? >> And even though he is who I recently learned to be the richest student at Hastings, he was the least superficial.
When everyone was talking about [music] the newest trends or the latest car, he cared about books and art and life. But most of all, everything with him just felt so effortless. >> Something [music] like that must feel refreshing to you considering your history.
>> What is that supposed to mean? >> Caleb is royalty. And you, you're just a poor scholarship student who [music] escapes reality through books.
But the truth is, there's no happily ever after for you and my brother. >> I didn't go through all these challenges for nothing. I never cared about the money.
>> You're not right for him, and you have to accept that [music] truth. So, the final test is for you to walk away. If you truly love Caleb and don't want him to lose everything [music] by being with you, you need to let him go.
>> Was there ever any winning for me? >> Depends on what you consider winning. As a consolation, I'm sure it could help with expenses for you and mommy.
Dearest, [music] don't be so disappointed. If he really loved you, he would have fought for you the same way you fought for him. [music] Mara, I've been texting and calling you.
[music] >> What's wrong? >> Sister Dearus didn't tell you the last challenge was for me to give you up for good. >> Oh.
>> Oh, that's it. You're okay with me walking out of your life forever? >> No, >> no, no, no.
I never cared about your money or your royal whatever. I just cared about you. >> I'm right.
>> No, [music] don't. >> There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry.
I'm not like you. I can't find my role in this. >> Mom, it's okay.
Daddy, help. Mom fell. >> Dad, where are you going?
Help me. >> I'm sorry, Marma. >> [music] >> What are you doing?
Come back, [screaming] Dad. I need help, Dad. Come on, >> honey.
It's okay. Don't cry. >> I'm not crying.
[snorts] >> You know, I decided a long time ago that I'd never rely on anybody. Thanks for reminding me what [music] [music] >> [music] >> You're only here once again. You go.
You go. You got all at once. >> Are you going to knock or just stand there all day?
Enter. >> Can you please reconsider? Amara did pass all the challenges.
>> Absolutely not. And that's final. I need you all to stay out of it.
>> Uh, Miss Worthington, your guest has arrived. [music] [music] >> Belle is the daughter of the Montgomery's. >> Okay.
>> Put in some effort to get to know our guest, Caleb. Nice to meet you, Bill. [music] >> What books do you like to read?
>> Oh, I don't like books. They're so boring. There's too many words.
>> What do you [music] like to do outside of school? >> Shop. You don't get to look like this without daddy's credit card.
There's no limit. >> Yeah. Got to love that black AMX.
>> Exactly. Well, I'm glad you're getting acquainted because you'll be seeing more of her. Much more.
>> Seeing her how? >> As your girlfriend. [music] [clears throat] >> Your little phase is [music] over.
You're going to stop embarrassing this family and you're going to do what's expected. Oh. That was incredible.
>> My sisters would never think that I come here. >> What? What do you mean?
This is like as fine [music] dining as it gets. >> No. >> Excuse me.
[music] >> I'm not dating Belle. I'm not dating anyone you pick for me. >> You're emotional.
Sit down. >> No. I'm done being mananished like a child.
I'm in love with Amara and I'm going to stay with her. >> If you walk out that door, you don't come back. You lose the school, the trust, [music] the name, everything.
>> Then I lose it because Amara is my everything. [music] >> Should we close the gates? >> No.
Have a good evening. Thank you. What are you doing here?
>> I realized something. I've spent this whole [music] time watching you fight for us, but really, I should have been fighting alongside you, for you. Now it's my turn, and I don't care what my sisters say.
I know you're not used to counting on [music] anybody but yourself, but the ends right here, right now. I'm going to spend the rest of my life proving [music] that you can always count on me, that I'll always be here. I promise.
Congratulations. You almost passed. >> Wait, you wanted me to do this?
>> Love is a choice. [music] Sometimes a sacrifice. I wanted to see if you would fight for her the same way she fought for you, that this was something real.
Unfortunately, there was a twist. The million dollars. I wanted to see if you would take it or [music] not, and you did.
So, you failed. Well, actually, I would have mailed this, but since you're here, [music] [music] very well, then you have our blessing. >> Ew.
Why would you choose her? >> [music] >> I wonder why I would choose such a beautiful intelligent person over two shallow mean airheads.
