Probably one of the best episodes of YA, we get to see Bella shine, and Jake finally comes clean to Hamilton.

I really enjoyed seeing Bella at the ball. She was really beautiful, and it was a great transition for her character, normally covered in grease from working at the gas station. I also liked that Caroline was a lot more down to earth than Will ever expected. If he had just been honest with her from the beginning, he would have gotten a lot further. The pivotal moment is Hamilton giving in to his attraction with Jake... who he thinks is a guy. But then Jake reveals her biggest secret... she's really a girl! What a priceless moment. I'm glad they didn't make us wait too long to see Hamilton find out the truth! Great episode, props to the writers on this one!moreless

- Will: Rawley Academy. I still can't believe I'm here. This setting, these people, this world where dreams really do come true. A place where a guy from the wrong side of the tracks lives the life of a prince. What else could I hope for? See Caroline walking across the lawn. What else could I hope for. A princess, naturally.
