Logan's Version

LV 5 (scene 4) - Party Dashers In The House

The scene opens with Logan, Tracy, Montana, and Madison about to go for an outing. On the other hand, Kelsea, Rudra, Danny, and Jesse are seated on the couch watching TV.
Logan: I know I'm not a rules guy, but I'm literally begging all of you to not do anything crazy while we're gone. Your parents aren't available right now, so since I'm technically in charge, you can't throw any parties and gaming contests while we're away.
Kelsea: Mr Logan, why do you say you're technically in charge when you're actually in charge?
Logan: Because we're still available, but we need space. I need space! Mostly because Tracy is always in my kitchen [brief laugh track]
Tracy: We're on our way for an unmentioned outing to avoid looking after a bunch of teenagers. Would you blame us for having a little we time?
Kelsea/Rudra/Danny/Jesse: YES!! [laugh track]
Logan: I should've been focused on my acting career the first time, instead of babysitting.
Tracy: What's with you and terrible decisions? It's like you're made for each other [brief laugh track]. (The two adults start leaving the house) Take care of yourselves and no parties. (As soon as they've gone, Kelsea locks the door quickly and turns to the boys)
Kelsea: What's the plan? We already have everything set up for the party?
Jesse: I don't think this party would work. To be fair, Miss Tracy's psychic in a weirdly advanced way. She once countered my vision with another vision [brief laugh track]
Danny: Jesse, you just have to relax.
Rudra: I can't believe I'm saying this. But we might just pull this off without a hitch. And they'll be back in a week.
Kelsea: By then, we'd have cleaned up the whole place, and it would be like nothing happened.
Danny: Yeah, except that Hudson will be there.
Jesse: Hudson is a really cool guy. I've worked with him on a movie, and he's really friendly.
Danny: Oh, please. We all know that all of you actors are too (Jesse gives him "the look," making Danny smile nervously) sweet [laugh track]
Jesse: What if we can't pull this off? (He suddenly freezes in a trance-like state, followed by a close-up of his glowing left iris and then the speeding green wave of light. The vision opens to show Hudson and Kelsea munching on chicken wings)
[Hudson: These are amazing, Jesse!
Kelsea: Yeah, and they have no idea there's a big party right now. Everything's going great, just as we planned...]
(The vision closes quickly, followed by Jesse's eye, and finally, his full face. Jesse regains consciousness and has a smirk on his face)
Jesse: (excitedly) We're DEFINITELY going to pull this off. Hudson and Kelsea assured us of that.
Danny: (frowns) Ugh! Can you reset your vision so that Hudson won't be there?
Rudra: Relax, Danny. We don't need you casting any unwanted spells tomorrow [brief laugh track]
Kelsea: There, Jesse, a trusted psychic! That's enough to work with. (pause) Oh wait, now I hear it. It's Jesse we're talking about [another laugh track]
Jesse: We just have to make sure no one uses their phones for the party. Then we can pull it off without any problems. (proudly) Wow. Who knew?
Kelsea/Rudra/Danny: Literally, everyone [laugh track]

The following evening...
The four have thrown a huge get-together party for their classmates. "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa is playing in the background with everyone vibing to the song. Meanwhile, Harleen, Hudson, and Rhiannon are also in attendance. Hudson is seen talking to Jesse and Kelsea.
Hudson: Wow, Jesse. Why did Mr Logan not let you have the party before? He's so not cool, but the complete opposite. In fact, he's hot [laugh track]
Jesse: Hudson, I don't think that's what you think it means.
Rhiannon: (walking past) But he's still not wrong though [laugh track]
Harleen: Is it weird that I agree with her on this? [another laugh track]. (Rudra walks by with a plate of chicken wings. Hudson and Kelsea take a piece each and start to munch on them)
Hudson: These are amazing, Jesse!
Kelsea: Yeah, and they have no idea there's a big party right now. Everything's going great, just as we planned. (As soon as she finishes speaking, there's a loud bang heard offscreen despite the loud music. Everyone, including the teens of the house. Jesse, Rudra, and Kelsea rush to the kitchen to find Danny's hair dishevelled by the table side. He leaves the table and walks towards his friends. His clothes are covered with dough and tomato stains. The oven happens to be blown out again, much to their horror) [laugh track]
Kelsea: OK, Danny. Who keeps asking you to cook?! [another laugh track]
Danny: Relax, when they return tomorrow, they'll just assume it's a normal day in the house.
Rudra: He has a point.
Jesse: Why do I feel something's off? (Just then, a round ceramic food bowl falls from the top of the fridge and breaks into a few big pieces. The teens gasp silently as they see what just happened)
Kelsea: No! Mr Logan's favourite food bowl! (turns to Jesse) What have you done?!
Jesse: (confused) What do you mean?
Kelsea: You're not supposed to say something's off, even when something's ACTUALLY off. You will end up jinxing it.
Rudra: It's the one rule of psychics, and you didn't follow it!! Danny, talk to your friend. (They turn around to see Danny dramatically sobbing as he holds the biggest piece of the broken bowl)
Danny: We had MANY memories! And Jesse ruined it! WHY?!! [brief laugh track]
Jesse: (to Kelsea and Rudra) Remind me who blew up the kitchen [another laugh track]
Rudra: We need to fix the plate soon. It's not completely shattered. We'll just keep it somewhere safe.
Kelsea: Once the party's over, we'll glue it back together. (smiling hopefully) Everything's gonna be fine...

The next day...
Danny: Nothing's gonna be fine! (The camera shows the slightly broken bowl on the floor, shattered into several pieces. In other words, unable to be glued) [laugh track]
Rudra: I don't know why. But I feel like some people are enjoying our misery [another laugh track]
Jesse: But it was perfect! Our plan was this close to perfect.
Kelsea: That's the thing. Too close. It's not a party without something unexpected happening, and I thought Danny was going to lose himself.
Danny: Didn't I already do that?
Rudra: You know what she means [brief laugh track]. (Rudra gets a brush to sweep the broken pieces and throw in a small trash bag) Getting rid of evidence is very important in every crime scene.
Jesse: Isn't your Uncle Armanie a detective? Why am I even asking that? You sound like a crooked cop version of your uncle.
Kelsea: (exhales) Focus. Where are we going to find an identical bowl before they get home tonight?
Jesse: We could go to a nearby 99-cent store and get an exact replica. I know a place. Besides, it's a plain red food bowl.
Rudra: If we hurry now, we can get it before they return in the evening. (The four rush towards the front door. Jesse opens it and is the first to shriek. The others follow with their own shrieks of terror) [laugh track]
Logan: (confused) Why are you screaming like you've seen a ghostly mask? (He walks in and turns around, only to see Tracy wearing an amateur ghost mask. He and the teens also shriek in terror) [another laugh track]. Wow, that makes sense
Tracy: (removes the mask) Oh, come on. It's not that scary. I'm too exhausted to talk about, so I'm just going inside. (She carries her bags inside and leaves Logan with the teens)
Rudra: Wow. THAT is definitely why we're screaming.
Logan: That's impossible. What's in the bag that made you so terrified when you saw me at the door?
Jesse: There's nothing suspicious here to see.
Kelsea: We're just going shopping. Famous people stuff, you get that?
Danny: (casually and almost clueless) What gave it away?
Kelsea/Rudra/Jesse: DANNY?! [laugh track]
Logan: Rudra gave it away.
Kelsea/Danny/Jesse: RUDRA?! [another laugh track]
Logan: Your responses actually gave it away. What happened while we were away?
Danny: There are so many ways to say "away" without saying "away" in a sentence. Great, I'm part of the "way away" group [brief laugh track]
Kelsea: We accidentally broke your favourite food bowl while we were playing golf in the kitchen.
Danny: Who plays golf in the kitchen? We all know we played -
Kelsea/Jesse: GOLF!!
Jesse: How are we the only reasonable ones here?
Logan: If you both are the only reasonable teens, why did you break my favourite food bowl, which I obviously didn't mention before, ever since the beginning of this drama? [laugh track]
Kelsea: It was an accident and we're very sorry.
Rudra: We were actually going to get a better replacement, which you wouldn't have realised was the replacement.
Danny: In other words, we would have gotten away with it, but that is something that only happens in TV shows. 25% of the time [laugh track]
Jesse: For someone like Danny to explain it like that, then that should be convincing for you.
Logan: Fine. I'm too exhausted to turn into your separate dads, so please, don't do it anymore. (He starts walking towards his room tiredly)
Kelsea: This doesn't make you reconsider your initial life choice about babysitting, does it?
Rudra/Danny/Jesse: KELSEA?
Logan: Do we want to answer that question?
Jesse: It's a beautiful day. Let's not spoil it [laugh track]
Kelsea: We did it! We're saved.
Jesse: And the best part is that Logan will not find out about the party. (Jesse continues smiling, but his friends have horrified looks on their faces. Then, he realises he just jinxed their save). [laugh track] Oh, no.
Logan: (offscreen) Why are there several cans of Cola hidden under my bed? And why did Hudson accidentally send a picture of himself and Jesse at a party in my house?!
Kelsea/Rudra/Danny: (irritated) Classic Jesse! [final laugh track]
