## Plot

Frankie's parents throw her a "Welcome Back Party." Frankie uses the party as an opportunity to show people she's the same old Frankie and finally patch things up with Layla.

## Summary

Frankie tells Nyx that she's lying to her parents about everything being fine at school, and tries to talk to Layla but fails badly. Frankie's parents decide to throw her a surprise welcome party and Remy and Carson decide to set up their S.W.E.A.T.I. Merch at the party. However, the surprise is ruined when Pretty accidentally blurts it out to Frankie. Frankie believes that inviting Layla may help reconnect. Pretty and Scary are in charge of inviting everyone in school and Pretty ends up making false promises about BTS, jugglers, dancers, the mayor, a DJ , hot wings, axe throwing, doomcore music, and more. Layla is the only one who puts a 'maybe' on the guest list.

Frankie's sad that Layla hasn't come to the party yet. Pretty asks her to make a speech and she notices Layla and Dio entering the house. Frankie is ready to make the speech. Her speech starts and Tyler makes fun of her streak. Winds start blowing and the cake in Mrs. Ripp's hand tosses in the air, and Frankie jumps to grab it.

Suddenly, Scary stops time. Frankie is shocked and Pretty heals her wound from the fall. Scary tells Frankie that everyone who belongs to the underworld can move regardless of the former's power, that being the reason why Frankie didn't freeze. Frankie understands that wind is her power, and it's triggered emotionally. Frankie grabs the cake and Scary resumes time. Frankie invites Layla to dance on their song but Layla doesn't remember it. She reveals that she's at the party because Mrs. Ripp called her mom. Frankie asks Layla to talk outside in the porch.

Frankie asks Layla what's happening and she reveals that she felt guilty to be mad at Frankie after her death. She soon started hanging with Dio and felt better but again felt guilty when Frankie came back. Frankie tells Layla that she believes she has been given a second chance at life and is willing to give Layla a second chance too. Layla is glad and leaves. S.W.E.A.T.I.'s complete merch is bought by an anonymous person at full price which makes Remy and Carson happy. Frankie tells Nyx about how her life isn't normal anymore, and Nyx tells her she likes interesting things more. Nyx also reveals that she likes the new Frankie.
