The Fits

During practice at the Lincoln Community Center boxing gym, Toni watches the girls' dance routine through the doors. She is fascinated by their moves and the sense of freedom they display. Her brother Jermaine notices and nudges her toward trying out for the team.

Motivated by what she saw, Toni heads to the tryouts with a mix of nerves and excitement. She observes the team's training, unsure at first, but her interest grows. Jermaine encourages her to give it a shot.

During the tryouts, Legs and Karisma introduce the group's signature clap back call. The girls attempt the routine but struggle to synchronize. Toni quietly observes and begins to imagine fitting in.

Back in the empty gym, Toni keeps practicing the routine and steadily improves. She befriends Beezy and Maia, two other hopefuls who share the goal of joining the team. The three of them begin forming a bond as they train together.

During a practice session, Legs suddenly collapses and suffers a seizure. Medics are called and she is hospitalized, shaking the team. Karisma briefly steps in to take over the practice.

As Karisma continues, she experiences a fainting spell of her own, further unsettling the group. Toni's brother Jermaine warns her not to imitate Karisma, reminding her to stay grounded. The seizures begin to cast a shadow over the team's rehearsals.

Toni throws herself into the routine, practicing with extra vigor and gradually mastering the choreography. Her drive signals progress, even as the team grapples with fear and uncertainty. The looming uncertainty shapes her focus.

The next day, practice is canceled, and Toni and Beezy explore the empty building. They try on their new uniforms and discuss the sense of danger surrounding the fits. They joke about a boyfriend disease as they talk.

Officials reveal they found nothing wrong with the water, but rumors persist. The supervisor tells the girls to drink only from the gym's water cooler. More episodes occur despite precautions.

A TV newscaster reports on the fits as city and county health departments investigate. Toni, Beezy, and Maia listen in as others describe what each episode felt like.

Maia expresses a wish to understand how the fits feel since the episodes seem inevitable. The group discusses their experiences and sensations, building shared fear and curiosity. Toni feels the weight of what is happening.

Maia has an episode during practice, underscoring how the fits are spreading. Toni argues with Beezy, insisting Maia did not want the episode to happen.

Beezy is called in to meet with the doctor, and Toni watches through the window as Beezy begins to seize. The medical visit offers no clear answers, leaving the group anxious but hopeful.

Toni skips practice and goes to stand in the empty pool, then begins to float in the air. The team watches in shock as she flails her arms with her eyes closed. The sequence cuts to a montage of Toni and the dance team performing on stairs, in the gym, the boxing ring, and the empty pool.
