Well, Maya, Ray, and Dylan, take that to heart and set JJ up on a date with a local C-lister celebrity named Cassidy (randomly played by Bella Thorne of all people). Cassidy is a whole mess herself.
She's playing someone in a wheelchair in her newest movie and Speechless has fun ridiculing those Hollywood films that use disabled people in terrible plotlines that are insulting to real people with disabilities all over the world.

An upset Izzy runs off into the drama room until JJ is able to pull off the Grease theme after all with a touching tribute to "You're the One that I Want" and the two reunite on the dance floor.
At home, Maya and Melanie are trying to schmooze an investor, a wealthy friend of Melanie's but Maya is struggling to be nice
when things don't go her way.

Initially, it seems like Maya will have to find another investor, until Jimmy expresses his disappointment in her behavior.
If she's not taking her dream seriously enough, then why is Jimmy wasting his time at a job he hates to support his family? Maybe it should be his turn to pursue his passion if Maya doesn't really care.
Realizing how immaturely she's been acting, Maya apologizes to the investor and they're able to make a business deal.
Plus, JJ's promposal video doesn't go completely to waste. The DiMeo's edit a new one together, this time, for Jimmy and his budding architectural dreams!
New episodes of Speechless premieres Friday nights on ABC.
