This episode showed some of what happened with Melinda while she was going to school and how people called her a freak and made fun of her just because she was different.
I think that this episode showed viewers that just because people act or think differently than others or even if are not rich does not mean you cannot have friends that have different lives and opinions than you. This episode was about a mean cheerleader who thought that her friend locked her in the boiler room and she ended up dying because of her and in the end this was not the case. I thought the character of Jackie played by Mary J Blige was well done.
She can also have a career of acting if she wants to do something else along with singing. Overall I think this is another one of the great episodes.
