Homecoming

**"Homecoming"** is the fifth episode of the first season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. The episode first aired on December 6, 2019 on Disney+.

## Plot

Nini decides to miss the homecoming dance and spend the night with Kourtney and Miss Jenn to prevent her overthinking her recent breakup. Miss Jenn attempts to reignite Nini's focus on the production and encourages her to have more confidence in herself at a karaoke lounge. Miss Jenn meets Ricky's father Mike during the night and a romantic connection is instigated between the two. Carlos assists Seb in rehearsing the dance routine for "Bop to the Top" and the pair arrange to attend the upcoming dance together. Carlos is initially disheartened when Seb doesn't arrive, but the pair later reconcile when he merely arrives late. Gina takes E.J. as her date to the dance in the hope that the unwanted drama would force Nini to quit her role, and is disheartened when the plan doesn't work out. Ricky scolds Gina for taking advantage of E.J., and after apologizing, he drives her home and the pair bond. Miss Jenn checks her phone to find missed calls and messages from Principal Gutierrez, who arranges an urgent meeting as a result of her neglecting her chaperone duties for the dance.

## Lyrics

 And in my twisted face

There's not the slightest trace

Of anything that even hints at kindness

And from my tortured shape

No comfort, no escape

I see, but deep within is utter blindness

Hopeless

As my dream dies

As the time flies

Love, a lost illusion

Helpless

Unforgiven

Cold and driven

To this sad conclusion

No beauty could move me

No goodness improve me

No power on earth

If I can't love her

No passion could reach me

No lesson could teach me

How I could have loved her

And make her love me, too

If I can't love her, then who?

Long ago I should have seen

All the things I could have been

Careless and unthinking, I moved onward

No pain could be deeper

No life could be cheaper

No point anymore

If I can't love her

No spirit could win me

No hope left within me

Hope I could have loved her

And that she'd set me free

But it's not to be

If I can't love her

Let the world be done with me

If I can't love her

If I can't love her

If I can't love her

## Lyrics

**Nini**:

So much has happened, think of what we've done

In the time that the Earth has traveled 'round the sun

Winter, spring, summer an' we're back to fall

We've been together hand-in-hand through it all

From the minute we kissed and my heart skipped a beat

To the night that we danced, I was swept off my feet

Sure as every year has to come to an end

I'd go spinnin' 'round the sun with you again and again and again and again

**Nini & Ricky**:

I think I kinda, you know

I think I kinda, you know

Like the way that we flow

Like the way that we go

And I love

**Nini**:

I think I kinda, you know

**Ricky**:

I think I kinda, you know

**Nini**:

I think I kinda

**Nini & Ricky**:

You know, you know, you know

**Ricky**:

Sometimes you know exactly what to say

Then ya open your mouth and the words go away

Don't want you to wonder or doubt or guess

So let me tell ya clearly what I'm tryna express

It's just three little words, yeah, it's not a big deal

It's not like I can help feelin' all that I feel

And by now, I'm sure you're thinkin' it's so obvious

But just in case it's not, what I'm sayin' is this, what I'm sayin' is this

**Nini & Ricky**:

I think I kinda, you know

I think I kinda, you know

Like the way that we flow

Like the way that we go

And I love

**Nini**:

I think I kinda, you know

**Ricky**:

I think I kinda, you know

**Nini**:

I think I kinda

**Nini & Ricky**:

You know, you know, you know

**Ricky**:

You know how we can talk all night

And not run outta things to talk about

**Nini (& Ricky)**:

It's rare that somethin' feels this right

(It feels so right)

**Nini & Ricky**:

I think I kinda, you know

*Nini*

I think I kinda

**Nini & Ricky**:

You know, you know, you know

**Ricky**

## Lyrics

 Everybody's always talkin' at me

Everybody's tryna get in my head

I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'

I need to count on my self instead

lose yourself to get what you want?

(Did you ever) get on a ride then wanna get off?

(Did you ever) push away the ones you should've held close?

Did you ever let go? Did you ever not know?

I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am

I'll give it all I got, that is my plan

Will I find what I lost? You know you can

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (bet on me)

I wanna make it right, that is the way

To turn my life around, today is thе day

Am I the type of guy who means what I say?

Bеt on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it

How will I know if there's a path worth takin'?

Should I question every move I make?

With all I've lost, my heart is breakin'

I don't wanna make the same mistakes

doubt your dream will never come true?

(Did you ever) blame the world, but never blame you?

(I will never) try to live a lie again

I don't wanna win this game, if I can't play it my way

I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am (who I am)

I'll give it all I got, that is my plan (that's my plan)

Will I find what I lost? You know you can (you know you can)

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (bet on me)

I wanna make it right, that is the way

To turn my life around, today is the day

Am I the type of guy who means what I say?

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it

Oh, hold up

Give me room to think, bring it on down

(Always, always talk, always talkin')

Gotta work on my swing, gotta do my own thing

Oh (always, always), hold up

(Al-always, always talkin' at me)

It's no good at all to see yourself, and not recognize your face

Out on my own, it's such a scary place, ooh

The answers are all inside of me

All I gotta do is believe

I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop 'til I get my shot

That's who I am, that is my plan, will I end up on top?

You can bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on, you can

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (bet on me)

I wanna make it right, that is the way

To turn my life around, today is the day

Am I the type of guy who means what I say?

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (you can bet on me)
E.J. and Ricky

**Caswen** is the friendship pairing between E.J. Caswell and Ricky Bowen. They are portrayed by Matt Cornett and Joshua Bassett.

## History

Ricky Bowen and E.J. Caswell first met sometime before the events of Season 1. In The Auditions, on the first day of school Ricky sees E.J. with Nini Salazar-Roberts. Ricky tells his best friend Big Red that his ex Nini is dating E.J. hinting that he already knew who E.J. is. At first Ricky and E.J. were not fond of each other due to E.J. dating Nini, Ricky’s ex-girlfriend. E.J. even went as far as stealing Nini’s phone in order to gain knowledge of Ricky’s intentions. Ricky had also hit E.J. in the nose with a basketball out of anger. However, during the later episodes, (Episode 7 to be specific) Ricky and E.J. put their past behind them and even became friends. E.J. shows obvious concern for Ricky that he does not show with anyone else besides Nini, his ex. For example, in Act 1, when Ricky decides that he’s not good enough to play Troy, and anxiously tells E.J. that he’ll have to go on, E.J. gently asks him if everything’s alright. E.J. doesn’t show emotion very often, which makes his interactions with Ricky even more significant.

Sometime after the events of Second Chances, E.J. invites his friends from the drama club to go with him to summer camp at Camp Shallow Lake. E.J. invited Ricky to come with him to Camp Shallow Lake but Ricky had other plans with Lily. In Happy Campers, Ricky decides to go to camp last minute after he found out Lily was the one that stole his harness on Opening Night for *Beauty and the Beast*.

## Background

After Jet leaves the camp, Corbin Bleu gets EJ and Gina to sing **Love is an Open Door** for their docu-series.

## Lyrics

[Intro: Gina & *E.J.*]

Okay, can I just say something crazy?

*I love crazy*

[Verse 1: Gina & *E.J.*]

All my life has been a series of doors in my face

And then suddenly I bump into you

*I was thinking the same thing*

*'Cause, like, I've been searching my whole life to find my own place*

*And maybe it's the party talking, or the chocolate fondue*

[Pre-Chorus: Gina, *E.J.* & **Both**]

But with you (*But with you*)

*I found my place* (I see your face)

**And it's nothing like I've ever known before**

[Chorus: Gina, *E.J.* & **Both**]

**Love is an open door**

**Love is an open** door (*Door*)

**Love is an open door**

With you, *with you*

With you, *with you*

**Love is an open door**

[Interlude: Gina & E.J.]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah

[Verse 2: E.J., *Gina* & **Both**]

I think it's crazy (*What?*) that we finish each others'—

*Sandwiches*

That's what I was gonna say

*I've never met someone* **who thinks so much like me**

**Jinx, jinx again**

**Our mental synchronization can have but one explanation**

You *and I* were *just* **meant to be**

[Pre-Chorus: Gina, *E.J.* & **Both**]

Say goodbye (*Say goodbye*) **to the pain of the past**

**We don't have to feel it anymore**

[Chorus: Sofia Wylie, *Matt Cornett* & **Both**]

**Love is an open door**

**Love is an open** door (*Door*)

**Life can be so much more**

With you, *with you*

With you, *with you*

*Love is an open* (Love is an open) **door**

Sofia Wylie, Matt Cornett - Love Is an Open Door (From Frozen - HSMTMTS)
## Trivia

* This is Portwell first duet together.
* Matt Cornett who plays E.J. Caswell said that he specifically asked showrunner Tim Federle to give him a duet with Sofia Wylie this season, which is why bringing this performance to life "was a dream on every single level."
* Sofia Wylie who plays Gina Porter said "Love is An Open Door' was one of my favorite performances this season. It was my favorite *Frozen* song growing up, and getting to dress up as Anna was so exciting."
* According to Matt Cornett who plays E.J. Caswell is a huge Portwell shipper said "I really don't think there could've been a better song for where their relationship is at this point in the show," he adds. "I just really hope fans enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it. I remember asking [Sofia] to just be brutally critical with my dancing and to take charge as my dance teacher for this number, and I must say, I think the number turned out incredibly well so I have both our choreographer Zach Woodlee as well as Sofia to thank for these dance moves!"
