Jessie Spano does not intend to let another teenage girl succumb to the harsh effects of caffeine pills.
In a new trailer for Peacock’s Save by the clock revival, the Bayside alumna-turned-accompanist (again played by Elizabeth Berkley Lauren) stops Zack Morris’ son Mac (Roswell, New Mexico‘S Mitchell Hoog) of giving her medicine of choice to fellow student Daisy (Mrs. Haskiri Velazquez of fellow franchise).
‘At first they are so exciting. And then it becomes even more exciting, ”warns Jessie. ‘But then it gets so scary. And finally, you ruin your girl group’s shot at a recording contract. ”
Ahead of that epic callback, we see Jessie and gym teacher Slater (Mario Lopez) dancing a school, and thinking about their time as students at Bayside. We also see the new generation of citizens at the Max, where they are served by none other than its namesake owner / wizard (Ed Alonzo).
