Okay. Well, he apologizes and swears it makes his life more difficult. He envies Aqua and the fact that her future is wide open, which apparently his is, too, if he's going to be super, well, healthy, but can also just work tech support. She can make her own decisions and pivot, but that's not how life works for him. And now it's time for dinner. It's a huge feast, which looked so good to me. And we'll get into that later. And Amar's dad is away on business. His mom is a gracious host and honored to have a movie star and big producer at the house. She even seems to dig the idea of her son dating Aqua, even if they aren't officially dating yet. And that was a little. It's like, gets so uncomfortable. She's like, I'll give you the recipe. And she's like, well, we're not actually dating. Oh, one of those Wonderfully uncomfortable scenes. Vic, of course, gets right to the point and asks Amar if they can shoot at the palace. He says yes, but he wants one thing. O. The next day, Amar explains the condition he asked for is for Aqua to star in the movie as the new location owner. He's forced Vic to cast her as the lead. Uncle Kamal will agree, since the palace has saved the entire movie. Elsewhere in the castle, do stumbles on Raheem, who is creepily watching Gita dance from afar, which he was. She doesn't get why he won't just approach her. If he cares about her, he has to take the chance. Right then, Dorinda's phone rings again. This guy's really trying to get in touch with her. It's Joaquin, the ex in Spain. Well, I mean, you could have, like, she could be calling like, you have my passport. She ignores the call, and it's obvious she needs to listen to her own advice at some point. And then she sees Chanel and Vic holding hands nearby, planning shots of the new movie. Doe is obviously upset. She was never even told they were a couple and knows this makes the auditions unfair. But little does she know that Chanel is actually forcing her new director love interest to keep it fair. No unfair advantages. And truth is, there's only one unfair advantage going on. Vic tells Chanel all about Amar, demanding Aqua be the lead if they use the location. He says his answer was, it's not up to me, and sent it on to his uncle. But the big takeaway here is the unbreakable cheetah bond feels broken. It gets especially blurry. It's like there were four legs on a chair, but now there are only three. When they started the movie, and now it feels like even those are breaking. The unbreakable cheetah bond feels broken. It gets especially blurry when they find out Raheem is helping Doe with her audition. Everyone seems to be out for themselves, and Chanel feels like she's the only one playing fair now. Over at rehearsal, Doe and Raheem are dancing together and strategizing their next move with Geeta. Uncle Kamal sees them practicing and immediately thinks they look great, and so he's leaning toward casting. Dorinda and I loved what they did with the three of you here, where it's like you're the dancer. There's a dancer, there's a singer, there's an actor. Now, you all obviously can do all three, but when you're looking to cast a film, it was great the way they separated you to where it's like, we've got to cast the dancer. No, we've got to cast the actor. No, we've got to ca. It was very interesting that, the way they separated the three of you, even though you're all graded all three of them, frankly. But he's leaning towards casting Dorinda. Vic tries to convince him to cast Chanel, and Aqua hears all of this from a afar. This has become quite a tale of betrayal. And now everyone is getting paranoid. It is they are. All this alleged backstabbing leads the three girls back together. And Grumpy on a rooftop, Chanel notices that Aqua is wearing her wish string and wants to know what that's all about. She admits her wish has come true, which doesn't make any sense. Chanel wished for the Cheetah Girls to become movie stars, and Dorinda wished for them to stay the same. So they basically canceled out each other's wishes. So then what did Aqua wish for that already came true? She reveals she wished to meet Kevin Tech support in person. And now all hell breaks loose. Chanel asks her if her other wish was for her boyfriend to buy her way into the movie. And then Doe gets accused of hitting on Raheem for the big part, and Chanel gets thrown under the bus for dating the director. The movie has indeed gotten in between the Cheetah Girls, and just when the infighting couldn't get any worse, it is audition time. Uncle Kamal, Raheem, Kevin Tech support, and Vic take their seats, and we get our next song. I'm the One, not only featuring the Cheetah Girls, but all the boys who sing, each fighting for their personal pick to lead the film. Was it really the guy singing?
