found an old magical mirror

and it sent me

here to this world

where things are backwards.

Where the women act

like men and vice versa.

And you're sure it's not some

old magical crack

that you found?

Bret and I are the only

ones who are the same.

You and everyone else

are totally different.

And it's like, if

I stay here then,

I have a higher likelihood

of becoming Mayor

and then I could

help my grandma.

I could actually do

something to protect her.

But the whole world

here is like confusing

and it's not exactly

what I wished for.

I told you it was

gonna sound insane,

I told you it was

gonna sound crazy.

Amanda...

You said you

wanted to hear it.

Amanda.

I've always had your back.

Right.

And it's bullshit

that you can't be honest

with me right now.

Nat wait!

No, woman up and

solve your sh*t!

Or maybe you can talk

your truck into working.

Okay, I was telling

the truth Nat.

Yeah whatever.

Hey!

Whatever!

Oh my God.

Hey grandma, it's really

not a good time right now.

Get

your ass over here.

I'm wounded.

What?

It's like

I'm bleeding pretty bad.

Okay, did you call 9-1-1?

Yup, but

they haven't responded.

Okay grandma,

my truck isn't working

but I'm coming.

I'm gonna be right

there, I'm coming.

Just

hurry up damnit!

Sh*t, sh*t!

Hey.

Hello.

Hey, I need your help.

What do you want?

Listen, I need a favor okay.

B*tch please.

Are you?

Where are you, are you drunk?

Why don't I walk you home?

I know these tactics.

I've used them.

Ugh, I'm the girl.

I'm the girl.

Hey Sally, take a hike.

Dude.

He's not gonna put out anyway.

He's a little...

Mental, got it, thanks.

You saved me.

Awesome, it's an

emergency, I need a ride.

I'm in no condition to drive.

I drank all these drinks.

Compliments of the sexist

b*tches, they're really good.

Cool, I'll drive.

I don't have my truck.

I have a car now.

I love it.

Don't.

I really love it.

Shut up.

I love it.

You think she's alright?

I hope so.

Oh my God I hate

this place so much.

I hate it, I hate it here.

And you have everything

you've ever wanted.

My God, this is

not what I wanted.

Oh yeah, you must be suffering

with all the rules

bent in your favor.

Are you okay?

No.

No I'm not.

I'm not okay.

No one thinks I can do anything.

And it's not the

harassment and the groping.

'Cause that was fun

for a little while.

It's the fact that

no one listens to

what I have to say.

That's how you feel

after only a week?

Oh stop.

Don't do that.

Don't, don't.

Don't turn it into a thing okay.

All this is a

complete exaggeration.

Trust me it's not.

Oh my God, Nat found it!

How?!

I don't know.

Well call her!

We're kind of having a thing.

What do you mean

you're having a thing?

Are you serious?

No, I know.

You're just dragging your feet

'cause you wanna stay

in your little world

of puppies and rainbows.

I'm calling her.

What's up hymen head?

Hey Nat.

Oh wow, she's

already making move.

Listen, the mirror

that you found,

where did you find it exactly?

Chill, it's at Howells.

Okay, well this

is very important.

We need you to buy

it, we need it.

Yeah I'd imagine, magic mirrors

are hard to come by right?

You told

her it was magic?

Gotta go!

Wait Nat, wait, wait, wait!

Okay we need to turn around.

We need to turn around

and get back to Howell's

before they.

What, your grandmother said

that if the mirror won't

work after 10:
02 tonight!

My grandma is hurt okay!

She needs our help!

Yeah okay you're right.

Thank you.

Grandma?!

I'm okay.

Don't be freaking

out on me here.

I won't, I won't, let me see.

That's a lot of blood.

I'm pathetic, they got

me with my own damn gun.

We just need to

get you out of here.

Are you still having fun?

What?

One day I'll tell you

about my own adventure.

Okay.

Oh, we gotta get

her to the hospital.

Can you stand?

Oh.

Oh, you know what sugar.

You're a lot prettier

when you smile.

Okay.

She's stable.

I don't know what

I would have done

if she hadn't made it.

Yeah but she did make

it, she's stable right?

I just can't

stop thinking like,

what if this is happening like

in the old world and I,

I won't be able to protect her.

We're running out of time.

I know.

We have to go, we have to go.

Less then 10 minutes until

Ellenburg's next Mayor is

announced here at town hall.

So if you get a

chance, come down

and check out the

exciting finish.

I need to know.

We have to get the mirror.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

I'm getting out of this

world with or without you.

No.

What do you mean it's gone?

Someone bought it?

Who?

It's time to announce.

Hey, the woman of

the hour made it.

Our new Mayor Amanda Maxwell.

Oh hell.

You're still certifiable.

Thanks Nat.

Thank you so much everyone

for supporting me.

I'm so grateful for a

system that's free of...

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

I can't do this.

I didn't win.

Judy and Ruth did.

Your votes were bought.

I wanna win this on

my own or not at all.

Let's get out of here.

Hey.

Yeah.

Nat's got it.

You do?!

What?

What this?

That's it.

Oh God.

Hey that's Bret's mirror.

The one we've been looking for.

Probably why he hasn't

been doing his makeup.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

say that again?

What?

That after you give his

girlfriend back his mirror

we can go grab some cosmos?

Who the hell are you?

You know what Sheriff

we got this I think.

If you say so.

It's what I've

been telling you Nat.

We need it.

Oh my God, this is...

We have like eight minutes.

We need to get to Pecker's.

But what's gonna

happen when you...

Listen, I promise

you're gonna be fine okay.

I just want you to

know you've made me

a much stronger person and

I'm gonna miss the new you.

This is nonsense.

No, it's a nuclear artifact.

Marge, back off!

Hey, let go!

It's the Hanford smugglers!

Shut up Marge!

Got the mirror!

Punch you!

You can't, love hug!

Amanda, let's go!

Come on, come on,

come on, come on!

Are you okay?

Quarantine the area!

Marge.

Marge just...

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Holy Sh*t!

Holy Sh*t!

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Hey, for what it's

worth, congrats on the win.

Thanks.

You know, if we get back,

you might not get the chance.

Yeah I know.

You know what I'm

willing to try.

I mean, the system is

just as corrupt here.

Hey, when we get back let's,

let's try to make things better.

Did you hit your head?

So I have a confession to make.

Uh oh.

Yeah.

I've been saving up my money

to start my own business.

To compete with me?

Yeah.

I'm impressed.

But I was thinking

I'd rather...

How would you feel

about having a partner?

You wanna buy in?

50, 50.

Alright.

Whoa!

I'm sorry, sorry.

I almost pulled a

Mayor Gleason on us.

Well, one big

difference but yeah.

Oh come on, really?

Step on it!

Alright, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah.

Really?

Go, go, go, go, go!

I'm going!

Hi, welcome to

Pecker's, hello.

We were both holding it.

Okay.
