The Quarry Girls: A Thriller

The Girls prepare to play their gig at the county fair. Maureen, Brenda, and Junie look like rock stars, Heather thinks, and she notices new gold earrings hanging from Maureen’s ears. Brenda passes out mood rings for everyone to wear. Sheriff Nillson, Agent Ryan, and Heather’s dad stop at the stage to wish them luck, and Brenda won’t look at Sheriff Nillson. He mentions they should wear less makeup to avoid unwanted attention, and Maureen asks why he doesn’t tell them to just quit looking. Sheriff Nillson asks if he can introduce them to the crowd. Even though Heather is nervous to play in front of the entire town, they start to play their set.

The Girls play well and receive resounding congratulations from their friends. When it’s over, Maureen rushes backstage and into Ed’s arms with her bandmates close behind. When Ed sees Junie, he comments on her appearance, which makes Heather uncomfortable. Ricky asks whether everyone is coming to his party at the quarries, and Ed and Ricky demand that they all drive out together—Maureen, Brenda, and Heather riding with them. Before they take off in separate directions, Maureen and Heather have a moment alone, and Maureen tells Heather that no matter what she tries, she never feels full.
