In the first episode of Paper Girls, we are introduced to four twelve-year-old newspaper delivery girls: Erin, Mac, KJ, and Tiffany. The year is 1988, and it is the morning after Halloween in the small town of Stony Stream, Ohio. The girls are up early and out on their bikes, delivering papers until they stumble upon strange occurrences that take them on an unexpected adventure.
The episode opens with Erin, the newest member of the group, waking up to start her first day on the job. She quickly meets up with Mac, KJ, and Tiffany, and they ride around the neighborhood delivering newspapers while discussing their Halloween festivities from the night before. Mac is the toughest of the group, KJ is the most chill, and Tiffany is the most fashionable. Erin, being new, is still trying to fit in.
As they continue on their deliveries, they come across a group of teenage boys who steal their walkie-talkies, prompting the girls to split up and search for them. It is during this search that they stumble upon a mysterious woman who is also searching for something. As they investigate further, they are led to a strange machine that starts to show signs of malfunction as they approach it.
In the midst of all this, the girls hear strange sounds and see flashing lights. They eventually end up in an abandoned building, where they are confronted by a group of people in strange clothing. These people grab hold of them and bring them into a spaceship.
The girls try to defend themselves, but are ultimately overpowered. They are taken into the spacecraft and explore a mysterious and dangerous world unlike anything they have ever seen before.
Throughout the episode, the girls’ fear mixes with awe at the stunning sights they witness as they explore this new world. They realize they are surrounded by strange creatures and floating structures, and eventually come across a group of people who have been living on this world for a long time. These people reveal that there is a war going on and that the girls are now part of it.
The first episode of Paper Girls ends on a cliffhanger, leaving us wondering how the girls will react to their new surroundings. Will they figure out how to navigate this new world? How will they find their way back to their own world?
Overall, Episode 1 of Paper Girls sets the stage for an intriguing sci-fi adventure. The combination of 80s nostalgia, girl power, and an otherworldly setting makes for a captivating story.
