Logan's Version

LV 3 [a lockdown comedy] (scene 14) - Rhiannon & Logan

Logan and Kelsea are in the living room, talking about the animated movie the former is starring in, "Achieving Ghouls."
Logan: You know, Kelsea? It wasn't so bad for the two of us to provide the voices for GG and Hilly.
Kelsea: And you know what they always say?
Logan/Kelsea: We're amazing! [brief laugh track]
(Jesse walks in as Logan stands up from the couch. Tracy also comes out of the kitchen)
Jesse: Morning, Mr Liam
Logan: Morning, handsome.
Jesse/Kelsea/Tracy: (surprised) Handsome?! [laugh track]
Tracy: (pulls Logan aside) You made the most random compliment ever. Are you moving out of Denver? [brief laugh track]
Logan: No, Tracy, because this is my house. Besides, I like to look at the positive side of things. (The two look at Jesse and Kelsea talking) I mean, let's be honest, the pandemic isn't helping anyone. But at least, everyone in the house is always calm and peaceful.
Kelsea: (scrolling on her phone and suddenly yells at Jesse) YOU DID WHAT?! [laugh track] (Logan and Tracy widen their eyes at the unexpected irony of the former's statement. Tracy turns to raise an eyebrow at Logan)
Tracy: You were saying?
Kelsea: (dragging Jesse by his left ear) Mr Logan, you will not believe what your baby boy did to me.
Jesse: Kelsea, we've been over this. Stop calling me that.
Logan: Come on, Kelsea. Whatever Jesse did isn't so bad.
Kelsea: Jesse told Rhiannon it was OK for her to come over to our house.
Logan: (holds Jesse by his right ear) ARE YOU INSANE?! [laugh track] You know very well that Kelsea and Rhiannon don't get along. (He releases him)
Jesse: But this is the pandemic. It's technically the best time to interact with friends, family, and close rivals.
Tracy: Jesse, it's the pandemic. We're not supposed to be close at all. What part of social distancing do you not get? [brief laugh track].
Jesse: The part where we've already distanced ourselves socially and the pandemic made it worse? [another laugh track]
Logan: Jesse, it's 2020. We're not deep into the 2020s yet for you to completely complain.
Kelsea: In our defence, being antisocial in 2020 is not entirely our fault.
Everyone: True [laugh track]
Logan: Let's just teach you how to deal with people with a serious bad attitude. I do the same with Tracy [brief laugh track]. (to Jesse) Big guy, when's Rhiannon coming here? (The doorbell rings. Kelsea glares at Jesse immediately)
Kelsea: (obviously enraged) YOU TOLD HER TODAY?! [laugh track]
Logan: Just let her in. (His phone starts to ring) I'm supposed to go out with Nigel. Excuse me.
Tracy: I'll get the door. (She goes to open the door as Logan enters his room. There stands a young girl of about 13 years. She's light-skinned, with long, brown braids plaited beautifully and tied up in a ponytail. She's dressed in a sky blue T-shirt, black sweatpants, and a surgical nose mask. However, it turns out she's also wearing black rainboots - for some reason. Tracy figures out it's Rhiannon)
Rhiannon: (smiles) Hello, Miss, I'm Rhiannon. Jesse's friend.
Tracy: (a bit surprised) Miss? Finally, someone didn't call me ma'am [laugh track].
Rhiannon: (starts to apologize) Oh, I'm so sorry if -
Tracy: No, it's fine. (She nods in affirmation) In fact, I think I like you already. Come in. (Rhiannon walks in, and Tracy closes the door behind her. Jesse smiles as he walks up to her while Kelsea folds her arms in disdain and frowns)
Jesse: Rhiannon, it's a good thing you're here, despite the situation of things right now
Kelsea: (scoffs) It's a bad thing cause you're not supposed to be here at all [brief laugh track]
Jesse: Also, what's with the rainboots? [another laugh track]
Rhiannon: My dad insisted I wear these as part of protecting myself. He's most likely still outside. And I keep telling him that it's July, the beginning of summer. The COVID pandemic isn't serious because of the sun.
Tracy: That's just a hypothetical theory.
Rhiannon: (shrugs) And I believe it [brief laugh track]
Tracy: I'll leave you three to hang out. Whatever happens, do not murder yourselves. And don't use Jesse as bait either [another laugh track]. (Tracy leaves them in the living room. Jesse gleefully faces Kelsea and Rhiannon, who are still pretending that neither girl exists)
Jesse: Oh, God. Where's Danny when you need him as bait? [laugh track]. (He turns to Kelsea and Rhiannon) I know you both don't get along. But I have the perfect idea on a day of hangout.
Rhiannon/Kelsea: (almost uninterested) What?

Flashforward scene...
(Jesse has a camera, a light, and a laptop set in the living room for an episode of Reel-A-Tables. He looks the most excited about it, unlike the girls who don't look enthusiastic about the whole thing. However, Rhiannon seems to be a bit interested)
Rhiannon: I know I hate y'all, but I could give it a shot
Jesse: (to Kelsea) See?
Rhiannon: I mean Instagram fame, not your friendship [brief laugh track]
Jesse: And this is why people now don't have any real friends [another laugh track]
Kelsea: (exhales in frustration) Let's just start the video. I can't believe I'm saying this, but since Lincoln is back at Neil's place, we need Rhiannon to fill in as a third act.
Rhiannon: (happily) Yes! I think I like the idea of that
Jesse: (smiling) You like the idea, Kelsea is ready to film. I think we all could still be friends
Kelsea/Rhiannon: Not a chance! [brief laugh track]
Jesse: OK, let's start. (He taps on a few buttons on his phone) And ACTION! (They start the reel, and they gradually start to get into character) Hey, guys! We're about to shoot another scene of -
Logan: (walks in wearing a green tank top that shows off his muscles, as well as black sweatpants, as he calls out Jesse's name, interrupting him. Rhiannon turns around to see the owner of the voice, and she immediately widens her eyes in surprise. She starts to hear a heavenly chorus as she imagines Logan smirking at her. He's holding a grey hoodie as he calls out) JESSE!! Jesse, I think you have my green hoodie. This is yours.
Jesse: Liam?! We're still shooting the scene.
Kelsea: Jesse, just give him his hoodie. It won't kill you.
Rhiannon: (slightly pushes Kelsea aside) Actually, Kelsea, Jesse can give him after. (She starts to smile sheepishly at Logan, who's trying to recognize the 13 year old ogling over him) Hi, Logan, I'm Rhiannon Gilcrest, I'm a huge fan. I've watched all the movies and TV shows and commercials you've ever starred in. (touches Logan's muscles) And dare I say, you're more attractive in person. You also have more muscles than my last boyfriend.
Logan: Thanks, but you know I'm too old for you [laugh track]
Rhiannon: You're 25, I'm 13. All the numbers are close on the number line. After all, age is just a number.
Logan: Nice of you to being a fan, but this won't work. It's just weird.
Jesse: (irritated) Ew, Rhiannon, that's my dad!
Rhiannon: And he can be my daddy too.
Logan: (uncomfortable) Oh, Jesus [another laugh track].
Kelsea: (whispers to Jesse, who's glaring at Rhiannon trying to flirt with Logan) Now, you see how she stole Hudson from me.
Logan: I'll leave you guys to continue while I run away from a problem (He starts to go back to his room)
Rhiannon: (calls out) But Logan, I can be the solution to your problems! [brief laugh track]
Jesse: (whispers back to Kelsea) She can also be a problem to us. I need a plan.
Rhiannon: (observing herself) OMG! What I'm wearing is so awful. No wonder he wasn't checking me out! [laugh track] (She turns to Kelsea and Jesse) I have to go home. BYE!
Kelsea: (whispers to Jesse) We have to convince Logan and Tracy to make sure Rhiannon never visits.
Jesse: Done!
Tracy: (on a phone call) Yes, Ms. Gilcrest! Rhiannon can come over anytime she wants. She's always welcome.
Kelsea/Jesse: (in shock) What?! [brief laugh track]
Tracy: OK, then. Bye, ma'am (she ends the call and proceeds to enter the kitchen, but Jesse and Kelsea walk up to her)
Jesse: Miss Tracy, you can't let Rhiannon return.
Tracy: Why?
Jesse: Rhiannon was flirting with Liam. I mean, she's all over him. For goodness sake, he's like my dad.
Kelsea: She's stealing Logan from Jesse. Not cool [brief laugh track]
Tracy: (shrugs) Even though that's crazy on all levels, it helps to get Logan off my back.
Kelsea: (confused) How?
Logan: (walks in still wearing his tank top) Tracy? I'm tired. Can I stay with you? (He hugs Tracy, who grimaces)
Tracy: (uncomfortably) Logan, your son's here, and this union is unholy [laugh track]
Logan: (pouts) But I'm bored and you're my only friend. (Tracy reluctantly hugs him back while wearing an annoyed facial expression) [another laugh track]
Jesse: (nods in affirmation) Yup, we need Rhiannon.
Kelsea: I can't agree more [final laugh track]. (The scene ends with Tracy slowly struggling to release herself from Logan's hug).
