The episode starts with scenes that Drive to Survive episodes seem obsessed by, helicopter shots, overhead cameras panning across Albert Park
RD’s voice begins playing as the montage plays.
“Formula 1 races are worth 25 points, but for some, they’re worth much more than that.”
The camera jumps to Lily somehow failing to open a bottle of water before awkwardly staring at the camera
“You’re gonna delete that right?”
The camera shakes side to side
“Well netflix are a bunch of cunts aren’t they?”
Lily gets settled in a Netflix interview chair wearing a black NMIXX team polo.
A producer off-camera says, “Whenever you’re ready.”
Lily stares directly into the lens, then claps the slate.
“Hi. I’m Lily Jin Morrow. Driver for NMIXX Racing.”
Then she smiles.
“And apparently the emotional support animal of an entire continent this weekend.”
Title card flashes, an Nmixx car getting a pitstop, before driving off
DRIVE TO SURVIVE: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
“What are your hopes coming into the season?” The producer asks off screen
“Oh, we’re starting with easy questions.”
An awkward silence fills the room.
“I mean, obviously we’d like to fight for wins.”
“We’d like podiums.”
“We’d like points.”
“And ideally we’d like all four wheels attached for the entire year. But I’d settle for 3”
The producer bursts into laughs.
“You laugh.”
She points directly at the camera.
“You laugh.”
Another point.
“But I don’t think you don’t understand how haywire my trust issues go.”
Cut to pre-season testing footage.
Mechanics.
Garages.
Cars running.
A montage of NMIXX looking surprisingly competitive.
RD narrates.
“After an encouraging end to last season, expectations surrounding NMIXX have never been higher.”
Cut.
Lily in interview.
“Oh, expectations.”
She forces a smile and shoots finger guns at the camera.
“Love those.”
“So, what does it mean to be in your home race.” The producer asks off screen.
“It’s like the whole country decided they collectively raised me. Last week, I walked into a coffee shop and one guy shouted “That’s our Lily!”.
She points at herself
“I’m not our Lily. Half the time, I’m barely my Lily.”
