I’ve seen multiple posts about the guys mocking Caleb, but I raise you this: an entire performance by Julie and the Phantoms that is written and choreographed purely to make fun of Caleb Covington and nothing else.
The boys are wearing the same or similar suits to the ones Caleb put them in for Nothing to Lose, suitably roughed up like in Stand Tall. The lighting is all dramatic blues and purples, there’s a smoke machine, they enlist Dirty Candi and the weird girls who wander the school in bobcat outfits to be their back-up dancers. It’s treated like a proper show even though it’s just in the Molinas’ back garden - they’ve set up an entire stage, there’s a bar, a few tables and a few waiters. Everyone who was invited was given the same dress code as the Hollywood Ghost Club.
But the thing that really takes the cake is Julie freaking Molina.
This girl absolutely smashes it. She’s wearing a flashy suit complete with an ungodly amount of sequins and glitter, she’s wearing a cape that came from a costume shop but looks remarkably similar to Caleb’s, and she has a top-hat. Plus, she has a cane like the one Caleb briefly has in the Other Side of Hollywood, and by god can she be dramatic when she wants to be. Nobody can impersonate Caleb Covington like Julie Molina can. She has every mannerism down, purely from the boys’ descriptions because she’s never met the dude. She talks with her hands, adds in the occasional evil chuckle, clicks her fingers in time with the music, she scats and she’s freaking amazing at it, she could be Caleb Covington if she wasn’t such an angel in reality. But the best part is when they’re halfway through one of their songs (the only thing that hasn’t changed is their music - they’re doing their original songs, nothing like Caleb’s, just with the added bonus of Julie scatting) Julie loudly announces to the crowd, “How do you like my new band?!” to uproarious cheers.
Of course, nobody in the crowd except Flynn would have any idea what the relevance of all this was, not even the people hired as dancers and waiters. Most people think Julie has just completely lost the plot.
But in the background, not dancing along and cheering them on for the first time, is Nick, scowling, because Julie Molina does a better job of being Caleb Covington than Caleb Covington does.
