Previously on the Royals of Malibu. Well, I was seeing a guy in San Francisco and when I moved back here, I kind of never
Starting point is 00:00:59 broke up with him. So now I need to break up with him like, headache. I really like Uella. We're good together. You can't deny that. I want you to be with me. I would never leave you. But if Isaac is a good guy and you can see yourself being with him, I think you should give him a shot. It never felt like I belonged here or like I was good enough to be a royal and I refuse to let my baby grow up feeling like that. Yes! I'm filing for custody of you, Ella. Dina, I'm not interested.
Starting point is 00:01:30 My dear, it's not up to you. You're a minor. And Callum is an unfit guardian. Ella, what are you? Are you two? What were? You're what? Dad, look.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Read? You and I need to discuss this. From now on, your bedroom door stays open. Mom, you've changed sleep lessons yet all of of thousand times and it still makes you proud. Every single time. When Tom Hanks says, we better go. Shall we? Oh, that's...
Starting point is 00:02:19 Every time. Are you getting tired, honey? No. Maybe the nurse said you've hardly been sleeping. I'm fine, mom. I still have time. Get some rest. I promise I'll be here when you wake up. Really, mom? I'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:02:38 You're more thin, mom. Hit the button. I did so many fun things in my life. Yeah? Tell me about them. I slept under the stars in Joshua Tree. I drove all the way to Seattle once because of the movie. Maybe. What else?
Starting point is 00:03:22 Oh, I remember we saw, we saw Beyonce in concert, in the nose plates, but we saw her. That was the best birthday ever. You're the best thing ever, Ella. Being your mom, that was the best thing. My favorite thing. When I found out I was pregnant with you, I was so, so scared. But once I met you, nothing else mattered. I love you so much.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I love you too. I love you the most. More than all the stars and a million Beyonce wardrobe tapes. Ella, you okay over there? Huh? Yeah, sorry, I'm good. My mind is wandering. I was supposed to get my test results like an hour ago. Damn, Aranger is putting you on ice. I have to register for the SATs by midnight tonight. I would like to know if I'm graduating next year.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Hey, don't worry about it. You passed. You studied like crazy. Yeah, but was it enough? It was such a wild date. Want me to consult the cards? Cards? He's the one he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Is this another sobriety hobby? Yep, I'm learning about tarot cards. So you're getting into fortune telly. Dude, don't be a jerk about this. I'm just curious. So, what are the cards telling you about my exams? Ha ha ha! The cards can't predict the future. Taro is about gaining insight into a situation like this.
Starting point is 00:05:50 The death card. The what card? Yeah, can we unoververse that one please? Chill, it doesn't always mean death like someone's gonna die. It could mean rebirth. Change. Ego death. Or it could mean total bullshit.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Dude, the only reason you think terror is stupid is because the mystical arts are a space dominated by women. And now me, do not be a misogynist. Not a misogynist, just a skeptic. Ooh, I have an idea. Can you ask the cards how to get rid of Brooks video? Again, this isn't a magic eight ball L. Okay, well, do you have any ideas?
Starting point is 00:06:23 I already told Rethis, but you can't get rid of videos anymore. Even if you delete it, Brookas backups, backups to those backups, and shit on the cloud, too. Could we delete it from the cloud? We could if you knew her passwords, but we don't. Ugh, this is hopeless. At least Kalim won't have to worry about you and me being together in. By this time next month, I'll be bunking with Dina. Oh, shit, is that bearinger?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Missing Claire, I'm writing to let you know that you're enrolment in the junior class is confirmed thanks to you passing all your exams. Woo! Oh, yeah, hello? Congrats. Shit, you're gonna be gunning for my class ranking now. Yeah, you better watch out. You and Savannah have some competition now. I'm gonna go grab a salter to celebrate. Can I get anyone anything?
Starting point is 00:07:06 I'll take one. Yeah, can you get me a kombucha? I wish I wasn't so familiar with the sound of Brooke having a meltdown. I briefly consider taking my seltzer back out to the beach and ignoring the grown-ass woman sobbing in the next room. But if this is a chance to get closer to Brooke and find a way out of this deep fake mess, comforting her might be a smart move. Hey Brooke. What? Are you okay? I'm fine. This stupid diaper's dope.
Starting point is 00:07:52 They're fucking work. You're practicing? Okay, here, I think you need to pull this part off. So the little straps stick. Are you fucking getting me? I thought it was... Oh my God. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:04 I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I think you need to pull this part off, so the little straps stick. Are you fucking getting me? I thought it was... Oh my god. I'm useless. Hey, it's just a teddy bear. You have what? Six months to get it right? You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I see all these women pushing their stupid fucking strollers, and I'm just, I'm just me, you know. I'm not good out to be a mom. I'm a fri-a-a-a-a-a-a. Oh, come on! You're gonna be fine. You, of all people, know that I'm goddamn unstable. Hey, I've heard pregnancy hormones can be a bitch. You're not helping. Just leave.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Ah! All right. I'll see you later then. Ah! No, no, no, don't. I can't do it alone. I can't do this alone. Where's your phone? Do you want me to call your life coach? You'll know what to do, right?
Starting point is 00:09:14 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need you, hon. I need you, hon. My phone's on the couch. What's your passcode? It's 0527. Okay. His name is... My phone's on the couch. What's your passcode? It's 0527.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Okay, his name is Johan? Yes. Johan H, whatever you do, do not call Johan Q. Johan spelt with a J-o-w-r. No! Ella! With a Y! He spelt it with a Y! Okay, I found him. Here you go, Brooke. It's ringing.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Thanks, Ella. Oh, hi! You're hot! No, everything is terrible! My mom told me she was terrified when she found out she was pregnant. I almost feel bad for Brooke, becoming a mother, especially in a place like Malibu. It must be scary. I mean, maybe if she ended her sabotage, she would relax.
Starting point is 00:10:18 As I head back out to the beach to join Read and Easton, I realized that I cut exactly what I needed to take Brooke down. The cards may speak to me. Let's see. You drew a three of cups. Shit. I don't remember that one. You suck at this. Oh wait, I remember now. Three of cups. You, Ella, and that Isaac guy should be a threple. You're so fucking annoying, dude. A seltzer for Reed and a booch for Eastern.
Starting point is 00:10:55 So, Rook is having a meltdown inside. Classic. But, I had an idea. What if we found the original video? Oh yeah, our dad's sex tape? Yeah! If we had the original copy, we could prove that the video was fake. But how do we get it?
Starting point is 00:11:12 I was helping Brooke with something and she told me her phone passcode. If we get Brooke away from her phone long enough, we can look through her videos, emails, texts, whatever for the original video. How do we get into her laptop? Well, if I can get back into her phone, I can try to find the password to her laptop. I bet she keeps passwords in her notes app or something. Oh, right down there, laptop password. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Ella's on to something. People reuse passwords all the time. If Ella can find some of Brooke's passwords, maybe one of them will work for her laptop, too. It's worth a shot. Oh, to get Brooke away from her phone, take her to a class at Savannah Studio. They make everyone put their phones into a locker and Sav has a master key.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Perfect. Brooke and I are overdue for a bit of bonding anyway, don't you think? God, I'm a genius. you Hey, my name is Kobe Bryant. I love to play basketball. Check out the podcast, I am Kobe, the story of Kobe Bryant's early life with never before heard intimate tapes of Kobe himself from his teenage years. His thoughts, his dreams, his goals all revealed for the first time. Listen to I am Kobe on the I Heart Radio app,
Starting point is 00:12:53 Apple podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to his voice. The future of work is changing. Northeastern University's graduate programs are designed to keep pace, helping you remain ahead of the curve. Northeastern is empowering me to make an impact in environmental policy, even though I'm still in classes. At Northeastern, my job isn't just to teach, it's to connect our graduate students to real opportunities. I'm not only uneducative, I'm an alumni.
Starting point is 00:13:20 My coordination with Northeastern is to find talent, and that talent could be you. Learn more at northeastern.edu slash you. Northeastern University, you activated by experience. I bet I bet I get to ride that. I bet I get to ride that. I bet I get to ride that. E simple but card of death? Dude, I would not miss around with Tarot. That bruja shit is real. Come on, they're cards.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I don't know. My theater was she got a Tarot reading and drew the devil card. Oh, nine months later, she had Savannah. Oh, shit, you almost later, she has Savannah. Oh shit, you almost had me for a second. So now that you're done with your exams, you want to hang out tonight? I'm going to that prenatal yoga class with Brooke. That's Savannah Studio.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Oh shit, the highs. That's tonight. Oh, then I'm coming over. I thought you had a date tonight with that girl from Coral Canyon. Nah, that's next week. Wait. Do I? I don't care. I'll cancel. This is more important.
Starting point is 00:14:30 This is the quad. Students will hang out here between classes. Plus, the lighting is great for selfies. Oh, there's Savannah. I need to go talk to her. Oh, good luck. She's still mad. She should be apologizing to me about the shit she pulled on my exam day.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Look, I warned you. Hey, Savannah! Sad! Let's go check out the dining hall! Oh, you'll love it! The chefs here are all amazing, and there's always phenomenal vegan and low-carb options. Savannah! Hello! I'm sorry, Ella. I'm a little busy here showing our incoming student Tabetha around the cold. Bye-bye!
Starting point is 00:15:06 That bitch is stung cold. What the fuck? All this over one kiss? Dude, this isn't just about the kiss. She can't treat me like I'm some monster when she's the one trying to fucking sabotage my exams. Good luck. Savannah can hold a grudge like you wouldn't believe. She doesn't talk to our Winita in, what, six months? All because she got Savannah the wrong size pants.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And they were from J-Crew. Savannah hates fast fashion. J-Crew is fast fashion now? Yeah. Just because something is expensive, it doesn't mean they didn't come from a sweatshop. J-Crew Later, I head over to the Yoga studio to try to catch Savannah after she leaves her class. She avoids me at school and won't answer any of my texts, so...and bushing her at yoga
Starting point is 00:15:57 seemed like the best option. Hi, Astrid. See you tomorrow. Savannah! Hey! Oh, my God! Are you stalking me now? I had to. You blew me off at school and you ignored all my texts. I'm not interested in helping you, Nancy Drewles.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Savannah, I really need the Master Key. I don't have it. And even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. Oh my God, I'm sorry about kissing Easton. Okay, it was such a weird moment. I had just seen Rita and Brooke and I was on autopilot. That's the thing about you, Ella. You're never wrong, are you? I promise you, Easton is basically my brother, okay? There is absolutely nothing romantic between us.
Starting point is 00:16:38 You really don't get it, huh? Whatever, I don't have time for you. Savannah, wait. You don't have to do this for me. But if we don't have time for you. Savannah, wait! You don't have to do this for me. But if we don't stop Broken Dina, this video gets leaked! That's the end of the Royal Family Reputation! Think about what I would do to Easton. Goodbye, Ella. How are you seriously still upset about the kiss?
Starting point is 00:16:59 Savannah, come on! Just talk to me, we're friends! We're never friends! What? All I do is clean up after you. You run away to wherever the fuck you went and you left foul all alone. And Eason, Eason had a fucking meltdown. And I had to deal with that.
Starting point is 00:17:18 I warned you about David and you ignored me. All of these things I did for you. And what do I get? You kiss my boyfriend, and you gaslight me and say, I have it all out for you! You create chaos wherever you go, Ella, and I'm so over it. I had no idea you felt that way. Holy shit, Savannah!
Starting point is 00:17:41 I know everyone is gonna be like, Savannah, you're being a huge bitch! Just because I'm the only one that'll call you out on your bullshit! Savannah, I'm sorry. Okay, I regret kissing Easton, and you're right. I shouldn't have dismissed your feelings. Yeah, well, guess what. You did, and I only help people who I know have my back.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I start to walk back to the bus stop. Savannah's right. All she does is give and what does she get? The Allery crying about Tam 24-7 and a boyfriend who's top priorities. Well, me. Behind her perfect yoga instructor swim captain exterior. Savannah just wants... Jesus! Savannah!
Starting point is 00:18:29 Be careful! You almost hit me! Here. Don't lose my keys, okay? I'll get fired if you do. Oh, Savannah, thank you. I really am sorry. Okay, I want to be your friend again.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Look, I still need some time, but right now, me being nice, this isn't for you. Okay, it's for Easton. Good luck with your little heist. Ha ha! Thanks for driving me, Reed. I'm nervous. Yeah, of course. I wish I could do more help, but I don't think Brooke wants to do prenatal yoga with me. I don't know. Brooke's getting kind of wacky lately. Oh, good. She's on the way.
Starting point is 00:19:27 So, uh... How long is Isaac in town? I don't want to talk about Isaac. We kinda left things in a weird spot the other night. Don't you think? You never want to talk about your feelings and you're choosing right now to talk about this? Oh, that was a low blow. I'm sorry, Rhee. No, you're right. I just don't think it's a good idea to talk about this right now when we should be worrying about making sure that Brooke doesn't ruin all of our lives. This is important too, Ella. Yeah, but if we talk about this now, it's
Starting point is 00:20:00 going to turn into a fight. I don't want to fight with you. I wanted to see how you're feeling about it since we decided that you test the waters with Isaac. Honestly, I think talking about it with you kind of defeats the purpose of me figuring things out with Isaac. Wow. All I want is to know where your head's at. And I promise I'll tell you once I know.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I just need more time. I just need more time. I just need more time. Hello, Ella. Hi, Brooke. I saved you a spot. Wow. This studio has a Gorgina vibe.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It reminds me of my silent retreat in Thailand. I have to put this on my story. You and the baby are going to love this class. I heard it's great. But um, Brooke, there's a pretty strict no-phone policy here. You're supposed to put it in a locker before you come in. Ella, no need to be such a role follower. I bet you put your phone on airplane mode when you fly. I mean, I've been on a plane like once, but I don't want to be the reason to plane crashes.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Oh, excuse me, I forgot Saint Ella. I am R.B. Yoga for me, hashtag. I'm so cute. Hashtag baby mon-bag. Hashtag. Oh, my beautiful girl. I'm so cute. I'm so cute. Hashtag baby Monbeth. Hashtag. Oh my beautiful earth mama. How are we today?
Starting point is 00:21:53 We need to maintain a certain energy flow in this room and cell phones are very low vibration. You can put your phone in the lockers provided. Oh, I'd be happy to tag the studio in my instory free of charge if I can keep my phone. Oh, sorry. No exceptions. Fine. You're missing out. My socials have great engagement.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Hush tag. Rook. Once everyone's eyes are closed for the guided meditation, I slip out of the studio and into the locker room. I grab my phone, prepared to air drop whatever I can find on Brooks' phone to mine. I reach into my sports broad to grab the key. Oh shit. No, no, no, no Call Eastern Royal Yo, you get in her phone. I forgot the fucking key shit
Starting point is 00:23:01 Can you get the combo? I'm trying Did you lose the key? Savannah could get fired at us. No, no, no, no, no, no, it must be in the car. Reed wanted to talk about Isaac, and I must have gotten distracted and forgotten it. How do I break into this fucking locker? Uh, no clue, dude, but hurry up. Oh, thank you!
Starting point is 00:23:17 Are you guys having any luck over there? Let me talk to her. This bitch made her iPad passcode 1,2,3,4. But there's like nothing here except a much of Smuddy romance e-books. Broke us some wild dates. Belf, focus. How do you even know what locker is hers?
Starting point is 00:23:33 There weren't a lot left when I got here, and she was the last one to come into class. How many numbers is the combo? Three. And you tried. 1, 2, 3, yes. And 3 to 1, and 0, 0, 0. Malibu area code? That's what I always do when I have a locker combo. Try 3, 1, 2, 3, yes. And 3 to 1. And 0, 0, 0. Malibu area code?
Starting point is 00:23:45 That's what I always do when I have a lot of combo. Try 3, 1, 0. Nope. What? How 4, 2, 4? Oh my God! Eastern, you God damn ugly hot genius! I'm in!
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah! OK, I'm on her phone. Notes app. Where the fuck is our notes app? Okay, here. Try some of those passwords. Seems like she uses Peach's 91 a lot. Peach's, who is that?
Starting point is 00:24:13 I think it's a dead cat or something. I don't know. Nope, that didn't work. Shit. Um, instead of the A and Peach's, can you try the at sign? I don't know, I feel stupid, but... Oh, yeah, no way, the half that worked! I'm in! Where the fuck is my kids, y'all?
Starting point is 00:24:31 Okay, I'm looking to her videos and I don't see it! Not even the fake version! Nothing? Seriously? Nope, just videos of her Porsche and her trying on outfits. That's all she has on here. Ella? Are you in here? Oh shit, I gotta go. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:24:48 Nothing. I wasn't feeling great. So incense can make me feel like headed. You're acting weird. I know. I might be allergic to patulli. Let's get back in there. No, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:25:02 But there's like 30 more minutes left in class. Yeah, this is too hippie-dippy for me, so I'm going home. Do you want to ride or do you have one of your boyfriends picking you up? No car! I never begged you as the SUV type. Kalim wanted me to trade in the Porsche for something with a better safety rating. Mothers have to make sacrifices. This is temporary.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Once I can afford to buy the new Porsche Boxer on my own, the nanny can drive this. But it'll have to wait until after my brand launch. Or until you and Dynah can get your hands on my trust, whatever comes first. Ella, babe. No offense, but you seriously think everything is about you. It's my trust. But is it? I mean, you never met Steve.
Starting point is 00:25:52 He was basically a very rich sperm donor, you know? If you want my advice, don't fight, Dina. You'd be better off living with her and we can poof, make this little video problem go away. I'm sure we can even figure out a fair cut for you when you turn 18. I'm never... ever... gonna let that happen.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Oh! And Ella? If I ever catch you snooping through my phone again, I'm not kidding. I'll fucking end you. Got it? Bye! I'm not kidding, I'll fucking end you. Got it? Bye.

Hi, I'm Skyler Baylor and I want to tell you about my new podcast, Dear Skyler. I was the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA division 1 men's team. I try to answer as many questions as possible. That's why, on Dear Skyler, every episode revolves around giving an answer to common questions that I'm asked.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I talk to all kinds of incredible guests and friends, people who's lived experiences, expertise, and wisdom can help you, and me me gain insight into how to answer these questions. Listen to Dear Skyler on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and everywhere you get podcasts. Music Music Music Okay. So we haven't found anything yet, but I basically downloaded her entire computer to a hard drive, so I'm gonna keep looking. Great! So this was all for nothing?
Starting point is 00:29:04 We're gonna figure something out, Elle. We're not gonna let Brooklyn away with this. We have other places we can look. Where? If Brooke doesn't have a copy, who does? Remember, she could have it on a flash drive somewhere. Plus, what about the creep who made the video to begin with? Who even agreed to make the video on the first place? Like, that's so fucked up! I don't care if it's fake, you're a minor! Yeah. Is there a way we can figure out who made the video?
Starting point is 00:29:27 I mean, we can see if there's any location to add on the deep fake version. Can you send me the video? Yeah, just don't play it. I'm not gonna play it. My eyeballs still hurt from seeing it once. There we go. Little cyber security lesson for you nerds.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Every photo or video has met a data attached to it and this video should have a longitude and latitude somewhere. Okay, got it. Somewhere in the valley. Looks like there's an LLC registered to that address. Shotgun VFX. That's not a layin' ass name. So someone at Shotgun VFX. That's not a lame ass name. So, someone at Shotgun VFX made the video? What's the address? I'm going over there tonight. No, you're not. Yes, I am. What is the address?
Starting point is 00:30:12 What's your plan, Reed? To beat this guy's ass until he gives you the original file? Yeah, that's exactly my plan. Because this motherfucker deserves to have the shippied out of him. Okay, Reed, you are not doing that. Yeah, what if he named his company that because he has so many shotguns? Val, come on. No, she's right.
Starting point is 00:30:27 It would be stupid to show up there. What other option do we have? Did it occur to anyone that Callum might have a copy? I mean, the original was his and Brooke's sex tape. That's fucking gross. Like, like he watches it? That's a good point, Val. How are we supposed to get into his computer, though?
Starting point is 00:30:44 I know the password. Mom's birthday, right? I can check his computer when he's out. And if that doesn't work, we could follow the Mr. Shock Unlead. I can ask some of the guys from my coding boot camp last summer if they have any ideas how to get into that guy's computer. And if that doesn't work?
Starting point is 00:30:57 Then we go with my plan and beat the shit out of them. No one is getting beat up. That is stupid, okay? If anything, we'd pay Mr. Shacken off. But Easton just let it go. No, no! And oh, money is our superpower here, Reed, for once. Let's fucking use our exorbitant NEPO baby well for something productive! How are we going to celebrate you passing your exams? I don't know, Isaac.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I wasn't planning on doing anything unless you have plans. Can I take you out? Somewhere special? Yeah, I'd like that. Are you sure you don't want to talk about anything? I'm here to help if I can. I briefly consider asking tech genius Isaac for his help. He might know a way into the VFX guy's computer.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Telling him, however, brings him into my stormy, chaotic life. He doesn't deserve that. No, I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow. Of course. See you tomorrow. If I'm a storm, Isaac is a clear blue day. He's stable. Around him, I feel normal. Hello. And if I'm a storm, read as a hurricane. As much as I want to let them in,
