Or, rather,isntcenter stage, and thats the problem shes grappling with throughout.

), and this child fucking loves ballet.

It would be obnoxious if those tiny humans werent so kind and inspiring!

And then the influencer arrives.

Its not like Derek Masters has bad intentions he seems like a very nice kid!

(Also, does he really need a babysitter?

He seems very mature.)

But its clear that hanging around him confuses Jessi a bit.

Its confusing, is what Im saying.

Anyway, this guy is all about creating content.

Chaz is probably single because hes in a very committed relationship with content.

When Jessi comes to babysit, shes supposed to help Derek work on new content.

To be honest, Derek seems fine with that.

Its all he knows, really hes been doing this since he was 2 (!!!).

Maybe internet fame is what shes meant to be doing instead of dance.

Thankfully, Jessis mother is the best.

And she isespeciallynot quitting to make YouTube videos of yourself with packing materials in the family laundry room.

Mrs. Ramsey is a hero for our times.

Derek is a kid!

He needs time off!

So Jessi gives him the afternoon off.

They dance, they make ice cream, and they do not film one bit of it.

When Chaz gets home, hes displeased with the service Jessi is supposed to be providing.

Thats fine, but no one gets short with Kristys sitters, okay?

By the end of the episode, Derek is heading to Los Angeles to jump-start his acting career.

He seems excited about it, so perhaps we can let it slide.

Alas, what has Chaz learned?

Were less concerned with what Chaz is learning and more worried about how Jessi is doing.

She should be dancing for herself and for no other reason.

And if she does that, of course, her family and friends will support her no matter what.

Thats a life lesson worth twirling for.

The latest text is playing then [ramen emoji].

Stacey thinks they need time to unravel it.

Mary Anne thinks it just means hes playing Minecraft and eating ramen later.

Very much here for Kristy trolling Stacey about poison ivy.

Stacey says its too soon, but it is not.

It is right on time.

Kristy is pretty savage for a wholesome eighth-grader.

Cool: recognizing Mariah Careys Always Be My Baby as the timeless jam it is.

Not cool: referring to it as this old song.

I had to lie down after that.
