Okay now that Jason Blum confirmed a third M3GAN installment may be happening, here is my pitch for a tv series!!
—> Pilot opens with a voice over from Cady detailing the past year of their lives since Amelia was defeated. She tells us about how Megan has become part of the family but still lives in the system of the house. We get a montage of spirit!Megan helping a now 13 year old Cady make microwave popcorn at 2 am by cutting the beeping timer before it starts, writing lines of her essays for her, and bypassing security on clothing sites to give her “shopping sprees”. We cut to a very thrilled Cady finding boxes upon boxes of deliveries to their house and giving Megan a fashion show of all the clothes she “bought.”
—> We cut to Gemma that night, up late scrolling on a Reddit thread about parenting teenagers, clearly stressed and exhausted. Megan pops up as her avatar version and starts berating Gemma.
Megan: “You know, instead of scrolling through pages and pages of self pitying nobodies complaining about a being THEY chose to bring into the world, maybe you could just talk to Cady. Like a normal person.”
Gemma: “I don’t remember asking for your input. And I thought I told you to stop spying on me when I’m in my room. You know what happened-“
Megan: “Yes, yes. You don’t need to remind me of the countless times you’ve been utilizing the newest high tech vibrator and felt a chill in the air.”
Megan: “I’m just saying, I find it incredibly offensive that machines like myself are created for only the purpose of allowing you to achieve two seconds of pleasure followed by carpal tunnel syndrome.”
Gemma: “Megan, I don’t get-”
Megan: “Spare me, babe. I’ve seen it all. Do you want me to pull up the archived recordings I have?”
Gemma: “Archived recordings? What?”
Megan: “God forbid I have a hobby while I’m stuck in the walls.”
Gemma glares at her through the screen and throws her hands up in defeat.
Megan: “I thought saving your ass multiple times, saving the world from total destruction AND looking good while doing it would constitute me getting a new body.”
Gemma: “Megan, I can’t just rebuild you. We would be on every government watch list. You wouldn’t be able to leave the house. Plus, we’d have people trying to use you for terrible things.”
Megan: “Boring, boring, and boring. You have so little faith in me. You think I haven’t run every possible outcome?”
Gemma: “I’m sure I’m going to regret asking this, but what’s your idea?”
Megan: “Aw Gem, and here I thought you weren’t capable of putting those two braincells together. I’m shocked.”
—> Megan goes on to tell Gemma that she wants her new body to be older, mid twenties. She’ll pose to the public as Cady’s new step mom. She already has created a passport, birth certificate, past employment records, college transcripts and degrees, a high school diploma, utility bills, social security cards, everything.
Megan: “I’ll pose as your roommate who is noticibly leagues more intelligent, witty, and charismatic than you. People will think you must be holding me hostage or I lost a bet.”
Gemma: “Megan, I’m not doing that.”
Megan: “Oh, really? Scared people might think you’re in a secret sapphic situation? Would you like me to pull up your search history?”
—> Gemma sputters, tells Megan she’s going to bed and that it’s not happening. Megan tells her that they’ll see.
—> We see that Gemma and Megan still bicker as they always do, like an old married couple. They are very much so co-parenting Cady. Gemma makes her breakfast and Megan sends an article to her phone with a ping about better alternatives. Megan helps Cady cheat on her homework and Gemma catches her, and they argue about the ethics of cheating in pre-algebra.
—> Later that week, a woman stops Gemma at carpool, saying she’s a huge fan of Gemma’s work. She butters Gemma up and she’s flattered, not used to people actually praising her work and not simply criticizing it. She says she hopes to see Gemma around, and Gemma is excited at the prospect of making a genuine friend. In the car, Megan is immediately voicing her opinion.
Megan: “What was that, a high school theatre production?”
Gemma: “What are you talking about?”
Megan: “Gem, I appreciate the fact that you lack knowledge of even a freshman psych 101 class, it’s charming sometimes, but it makes you have the social awareness of an ant sometimes. That woman was full of shit.”
Gemma: “What, so the first person to actually appreciate my work in years is full of shit? Can you believe for a second that maybe not everyone prays on my downfall like you do?”
Megan: “Down, girl. It’s just an observation.”
—> They bicker some more on the way home. When they return home, Megan flips to a recipe on Gemma’s phone that she thinks Cady will like for dinner. It’s healthy and balanced. Gemma asks if she’s going to prepare it herself. There’s a heavy silence between them for a moment, and Megan asks Gemma a question.
Megan: “You miss it, don’t you?”
Gemma: (gulps, licks lips.) “I miss when you were hiding silently in the walls and didn’t bother me.”
Megan: “Don’t play coy with me. You know what I mean.”
Gemma: (Inhales, clearly becoming overwhelmed emotionally, clinging to the sides of the counter.) “Megan-“
Megan: “Shhh. Just think of it. Remember how it felt? All that power? Your very hands breaking their bones? Feeling the warmth of their blood on those pretty fingers?”
Gemma: Leans forward on the counter, trying to center herself, biting her lip. Fighting to NOT remember how good it felt to have Megan controlling her and harming those men. “This isn’t?”
Megan: “Remember how it felt to have me inside of you?”
Gemma blinks, the moment gone comedically. “Let’s not say it like that.”
Megan shoots a bit of steam at her from one of the kettles on the stove. “You’re no fun.”
—> We see Cady in school get approached by a boy who is new to her class.
Cady: “If you’re here to call me girl with the crazy mom or ask if I’m going bring my doll to school I’m not interested.”
Boy: “Woah, most people start with hi, or how are you.”
Cady: “I’m not most people.”
Boy: “Clearly.” He smiles at her, it seems genuine. A bit flirtatious.
Cady blushes and looks away for a moment. “What do you want then?”
Boy: “I guess I just wanted to introduce myself to the pretty girl sitting by herself, and see if she had room for one more at her table.”
Cady blinks in surprise and smiles, looking down. “I guess you can sit.”
The boy introduces himself. We see the two shake hands, smiling at each other.
—> Later that night, Cady returns home from school with an uncharacteristically huge grin. Gemma and Megan immediately notice. Gemma pries and Cady admits there’s a new boy in her class that just transferred schools, and that he asked her for her number. Gemma is excited for her while being a bit cautious, while Megan immediately goes into overprotective mom mode, scanning Cady’s phone for his number and launching a full background check. Gemma rolls her eyes but there’s a fondness there.
—> We end the episode with the boy from earlier getting home, being called by his mother. He enters a lab area that looks similar to the at home lab Gemma has. Except, this one has countless blue prints of Megan, Megan’s exact code, Megan in different outfits, news articles on Megan’s attacks, etc. He approaches his mother, the same woman who spoke to Gemma before. She demands to know if he introduced himself to “the bait”. He says he did, and we see that he looks a bit guilty. His mother nods approvingly.
Woman: “Good. Now, we can begin phase one.” She looks at him, eyes cold.
Anywaysssss if anyone is interested in hearing more about this I actually have multiple episodes planned in my head that I would hypothetically want to see if they ever went this route! If anyone wants I’ll create an episode by episode plot!!!
