Episode 11 - Peachy Keen Jelly Bean

Get your popcorn ready, we are watching minutes 50-55 of GREASE! Sandy has just left Tom in the dust and is reconciling with Danny on the track field. The two make plans to go to the dance together and then head off to the Frosty Palace for an intimate and romantic come-back date over cherry sodas and polar burgers. All is well until Kenickie and Rizzo crash their date, followed by Sonny and Marty, Doody and Frenchie and then Putzie and Jan. The whole night is a big bummer for Danny and Sandy who didn't get to have their alone time, but it's an even bigger bummer for Kenickie and Rizzo who's fiery romance is extra volatile tonight. The scene ends when Frenchie removes her scarf and reveals her "Easter egg" pink hair to Vi.

Episode 10 - He's a Hitter!

In this episode we will dive into minutes 45:00-50:00 of the movie Grease in which Sandy and Danny are finishing up a conversation at the Frosty Palace jukebox that ends with Sandy challenging Danny to prove he really can run circles around the jocks like he says.  Then Danny embarks on an athletics odyssey, in an attempt to become the kind of guy he thinks Sandy wants him to be.  After a few unsuccessful attempts at various sports, he eventually lands on Track and it's on the track field that Danny catches Sandy’s eye while jumping hurdles - and doing it well!  Danny also notices Sandy and can’t help but turn his head to look back at her which causes him to trip and fall flat down.  When she sees he might be hurt, Sandy immediately runs to Danny’s rescue and is all ready to forgive him.

Episode 9 - Jealous, Are You?

In this episode we will dive into minutes 40:00-45:00 of Grease in which Danny and all the guys continue singing about how their souped up hot rod will help them get girls in the fantasy sequence of Greased Lightning and end the song back in reality in the school auto shop.  We then switch scenes to the street in front of the Frosty Palace where the Scorpions are wreaking havoc in Hell’s Chariot and a little more tension builds between the Scorpions and the TBirds.  Inside the Frosty Palace it’s wall-to-wall students sharing milkshakes and dancing to Ritchie Valens.  Sandy is on a date with Tom Chisum - the two of them in a private booth and Sandy wearing Tom’s letter sweater.  Danny tries so hard to play it cool when he sees Sandy with Tom, but all the while he’s distracted and surreptitiously trying to steal glances her way.  Sandy also notices Danny, but tries to work the situation to her advantage to make Danny jealous of Tom.  She moves across the room to the jukebox, fully aware that Danny is coming her way, but pretends to not see him as she selects a song.  Danny makes a sincere attempt to talk to Sandy and explain why he was a jerk at the bonfire, but Sandy isn’t ready to forgive him so easily.  Our segment ends in the middle of their conversation when Danny cynically suggests that Tom’s brains are in his biceps and Sandy accuses him of being jealous and asks, “And what have YOU ever done?”
