Last episode: New Girl in Town
At the Loft the girls reminisce about Alecia's first days at school as a new student just arrived from Alabama. Cris recalls how she met Alecia by jerking some headphones off her head, saving her from a teacher's wrath. Later Alecia sees Sierra in English class, illustrating an "emotional moment" by talking about water pollution! At lunch Cris and Sierra invite Alecia to sit with them and introduce her to Niki. More reminiscing: Alecia calls Castelli for a math assignment and hears a loud party going on. Cris invites Alecia and her brother Mikey over and they go, even though it's a school night. At the party Niki's boyfriend Riley kisses Alecia. Niki sees it and assumes it's all Alecia's doing. Now all three of her new friends have turned against her. Alecia and Mikey get caught sneaking back from the party and are grounded. At school in Mr. Henley's class, Alecia illustrates her "emotional moment" by singing a song, but she flees the classroom after she finishes. Cris and Sierra come by Alecia's house later and tells her they may have misjudged her, and assure her that Niki will come around too, in time.
