The doll hamlet of Sunnyvale, has appeared in the new Life-Size 2 trailer above. She enjoys liquid butter and finds it as a drinkable delicacy. Her shopping bill exceeds to a $12,485 amount which she pays with a fake credit card.

But then for Eve (returning producer-star Tyra Banks), the lovable Barbie-like doll who is seen to get back to life once again via a magic spell performed by two young women, transitioning into humanity is tough the second time around.

“It’s me, Eve! Your special friend!” Eve tells Grace (Francia Raisa), the 25-year-old CEO of the floundering toy company that manufactured her, shortly after re-entering the real world to help her new companion course-correct her quarter-life crisis and wild-child ways before Grace cancels the Eve line altogether.

“It’s time for you to go because I’m pretty sure you’re crazy,” Grace tells Eve. She has a point, as Eve’s fish-out-of-water sensibilities get her into a few hilarious scenarios, including flirting with an “extra special friend” at a holiday party and the aforementioned attempted fashion swindle. Alas, all is well near the end of the clip, when Eve deems Grace “the best friend a doll could ask for.”

Tyra Banks, who will be seen reprise the role of Eve for the first time since fronting the 2000 original alongside Lindsay Lohan, previously shared with EW about the sequel would feature the return of an “iconic outfit” (later revealed to be two outfits: Secretary Eve’s professional getup and Eve’s signature pink cardigan look) as well as familiar characters from the 18-year-old film. Raisa further noted Eve’s mind is still “stuck in 2000” for comedic effect.

“There’s a little bit of a bait-and-switch where you think Eve is one thing and she turns out to be something else, so fans of the original will go, ‘Oh my gosh!’” Banks teased of the plot. “Things are new and she’s still excited about seeing things for the first time…. My other executive producer on this, Stephanie Allain, made a grid for me for the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie of how human Eve is in each scene. So, as the movie progresses, Eve becomes less doll-like and more human, so you’ll see a bit more of that evolution than you did in the first movie.”

Life-Size 2 premieres Sunday, December 2 at 21:00 p.m. ET on Freeform. Watch the movie’s first full trailer above.
