S1:EP1 Episode 1
S1:EP1 Episode 1
Johnny’s Grand Entrance – As the Sinclairs prep for a family photo, troublemaker Johnny rolls up with a police escort, swaggering onto the scene to Jack White’s gritty tune. The song blares in the background while Johnny boasts about crashing a golf cart through a pro shop window, utterly unfazed. His carefree, rebellious arrival – set perfectly to the rock riff – has the whole family shaking their heads and laughing.
Awkward Family Photo – During the annual Sinclair family photoshoot on the lawn, Cady and cousin Mirren scramble to swap outfits behind everyone’s backs to appease Mirren’s overbearing mom. HAIM’s upbeat “Forever” kicks in as they giggle through the quick change and strike a pose just in time for the camera click. The playful, bouncy song mirrors the girls’ sisterly camaraderie and the lighthearted chaos of keeping Grandma Tipper happy.
Summer 8 Flashback – In a sunny montage of 8-year-old Cady, Johnny, Mirren, and Gat tearing around Beechwood Island, this nostalgic indie-electro remix sets the tone. The kids race each other, perform cannonballs off the dock, and build sandcastles as “Young Blood” chants in the background. Cady’s voice-over fondly recalls that they were “wild and fearless…on our island we could be anything,” perfectly underscored by the song’s youthful energy. It’s pure carefree summer magic.
Sandcastle Showdown – The next day on the beach, the Sinclairs split into teams for their annual sandcastle-building contest. As soon as Granddad Harris shouts “Go!”, “Same Days” bursts out of the speakers, turning the friendly competition into a montage of flying sand and smack talk. The upbeat rock song fuels their creativity (and trash-talking): Harris accuses the “Liars” of stacking the deck with Aunt Tipper’s expert help, and everyone is laughing and racing the tide. The feel-good chorus of “same days forever” captures this quirky family tradition in full swing.
Midnight Swim – Later that night, Cady invites Gat to take the boat out and watch the Perseid meteor shower. “Home” plays softly as they sneak away from the others, steering into the darkness. Under a sky of shooting stars, they strip down to their underwear and count “3…2…1!” before leaping off the boat together. The dreamy folk-pop tune swells as they splash around, shivering and laughing like two little kids. In this warm, stolen moment – “Darling, won’t you take me home?” echoing in the lyrics – Cady and Gat grow closer, utterly at ease in each other’s company.
Heart-to-Heart Under the Porch Light – After the swim, Cady watches Gat scribbling in his journal by the porch light. She feels butterflies, and Holly Humberstone’s delicate “Dive” begins as Cady realizes she’s falling for her best friend. Encouraged by the song’s intimate vibe, she finally musters the courage to ask Gat on a date – just the two of them – to see the meteor shower. Gat is taken aback but says “Sure. Yeah. Just us,” and Cady’s face lights up. The lyrics (“tread lightly, just tread lightly… baby, dive in”) perfectly capture her hopeful leap of faith.
Party Boat Betrayal – The Liars end up crashing a wild party boat off the island, and a retro synth-pop bassline from Cannons’ “Loving You” throbs through the yacht’s neon-lit dance floor. Cady, expecting a romantic night with Gat, is hurt to find Johnny and Mirren tagging along, so she stands off to the side nursing a drink. A tipsy stranger tries to flirt with her, but she waves him off – “Ooh, sorry, taken!” she snaps with an eye-roll. Across the deck, Gat can’t stop staring at Cady despite the pulsing music and tequila shots, until Johnny and Mirren start roasting him for it (“Is that why you were looking at her? ’Cause she looks extra pretty tonight?”). The dreamy song underscores the unspoken tension between Cady and Gat in that crowded, flashing moment.
Shots & Regrets – The vibe shifts to an even dancier pop beat as “Good Time” kicks in and Johnny pulls Gat and Mirren to the bar for rounds of shots. Strobe lights flicker and everyone cheers “Party boat! Woo!” while knocking back tequila. Gat is hesitant, eyeing Cady standing alone on the upper deck, but Johnny slings an arm around him, yelling “Come on, we’re at a party!”. Giving in to peer pressure, Gat downs a shot and forces a grin as the chorus – “waiting for the night to come, ’cause I’ve been hiding from the sun…” – blasts over the speakers. In the chaos of neon and laughter, Cady slips away unnoticed, the promised meteor shower date abandoned. The upbeat track ironically highlights how this supposed “good time” is anything but, for both of them.
Nighttime Reflections – As the party winds down and the island grows quiet, Lauren Light’s dreamy “Rhythm (la de da)” can be heard faintly in the background. This mellow indie-pop tune plays while the focus shifts back to the Sinclair compound: Aunt Bess, disappointed and a little drunk, ends up in a tryst with the handsome harbor guy Dan, while Penny goes on a midnight run in tears. Even Carrie pours out a bottle of wine in frustration. The lilting “la-de-da” refrain plays on an empty patio as Grandfather Harris watches all these cracks in the perfect family façade from the balcony above. It’s a brief, wordless interlude that bridges the wild party to the dark secrets soon to surface – a calm before the storm on Beechwood Island.
Moonlight Confessions – On the beach, under the meteor shower, Gat swims back to Cady after ditching the party – he couldn’t leave things the way they were. The soulful opening of Hozier’s “Who We Are” swells as Gat finds Cady alone and breathless. He admits he got nervous and “I don’t want to lie anymore,” finally apologizing from the heart. Cady’s eyes well up; she forgives him with a teasing grin (“you’ll have to learn to drive the boat first!”). Then Gat steps closer, brushes a strand of hair from her face, and under the cascade of shooting stars they kiss for the first time. The chorus (“So much of our lives is just carving through the dark...”) pours out as they cling to each other, making this moment – “like all the stars banged loose from their moorings” – absolutely electric.
End Credits / Teaser – The episode closes with a bang: Jax’s fierce pop anthem “Cinderella Snapped” blasts over the end credits and preview. As scene snippets tease the dark family secrets to come – fiery arguments, betrayal, someone screaming Johnny’s name – Jax sings about fairytale princesses shaving their heads and burning the castle down. The cheeky, empowering lyrics (“I don’t need no prince to save me… and kids, that’s how Cinderella snapped!”) reflect Cady’s upcoming rebellion against her family’s lies. It’s an adrenaline-pumping sendoff, perfectly matching the show’s feminist bite and leaving you hyped for the next episode.

Haunting reprise: A modern cover of “Happy Together” creeps in as the celebration winds down. Stripped of its upbeat tempo, Why Mona’s dark, electronic version underscores the eerie mood after the sudden collapse. The familiar words “so happy together” turn ominous, echoing hollowly while panic spreads. It’s a chilling twist on the song we heard moments before, amplifying the sense that the happy façade is crumbling.
Confrontation aftermath: Ingrid’s heartfelt ballad plays as Cady cries. Over a swelling piano (“♪ All the love you’re needing is coming from you, and it never ends…♪”), the lyrics serve as both comfort and lament.

The calm before tragedy: This gentle 1971 folk song plays from a record player as the Sinclair sisters relax with Harris. King’s warm voice (“Soon within my tapestry there’s a scene that I recall…”) drifts through the living room. The nostalgic tune underscores their rare peaceful moment, until it’s shattered by Gran’s sudden collapse. The needle abruptly skips – literally and figuratively tearing the family’s “tapestry” apart.
End credits & aftermath: As the episode ends on a gut-wrenching cliffhanger, Birdy’s sorrowful cover of The National’s “Terrible Love” swells. Her voice echoes (“It’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders… it takes an ocean not to break”) while the credits roll. The mournful tone encapsulates the Sinclair family’s devastation, leaving viewers with goosebumps and a hint of the darkness to come.
