Stand Tall[]

Trevor greets his daughter warmly and goes toward the stairs, but stops at the music emitting from her laptop.

Carrie explains that Julie is in a new band with a hologram gimmick, and that somehow they're playing a gig at the Orpheum. Trevor, able to see the other figures in the video and listening to his daughter's explanation, realize that the holograms were his deceased band mates frozen at the age of 17. Shocked, Trevor tries to gather himself as he calls someone unknown and requests two tickets to the Orpheum concert that night. Carrie is confused and offended at this action, though Trevor reassures her, "only love!" Both Carrie and her father Trevor Wilson go to The Orpheum to watch Julie and the Phantoms performed "Stand Tall." At the end of the song Carrie stands up and claps for them while her father Trevor Wilson is shocked to see his deceased bandmates perform on stage 25 years after they passed away.
