Lifetime Thriller Pitch: "Machinations" (Celebrating Barbie Blank's Birthday)

[CEDAvsFan]

A retired actress (Kate Drummond) hires a tutor (Barbie Blank) to help her daughter's (Chiara Aurelia) grades improve, with Barbie being elated to help due to being a fan of an action packed show that Kate starred on. However, a series of mishaps occur, with Kate learning that the mastermind of the misdeeds is Athena, a masked villainess who appears on a computer screen with a pair of henchwomen (Charlette and Robyn Williamson), and is also a villainess from Kate's show. Chiara's life is threatened by Athena, leading to Kate enlisting Barbie to watch over Chiara along with her tutoring duties. However, Athena's twin henchwomen suddenly corner Barbie and Chiara, and in a sudden twist, Barbie turned heel and knocked out Chiara.

 

Chiara wakes up at an abandoned warehouse and sees Robyn, Charlette, and Barbie standing over her. Barbie is in her disguise and reveals herself as Athena, while also revealing that she had been seeking revenge on Kate, who she accused of stealing the lead role on her show from her sister (Adrianne Palicki in flashbacks). After Adrianne committed suicide over losing the role, Barbie blamed Kate and decided to get hired as a tutor in order to steal everything from her, and it's up to Kate so save Chiara from the evil Barbie and her henchwomen.

 

Additional cast includes Jazlyn Sward as Chiara's BFF, Brennan Elliott as Kate's husband and Chiara's father. Mercedes Martinez as the lead detective, and Sallie Glaner as Adrianne and Barbie's mother, who is not part of Barbie's villainous plot and is worried about Barbie.

Great pitch you made on Barbie Blank's birthday.

Very well thought out. Is there a hidden plot twist?
