Enemies of My Enemy

## Episode guide

"**Enemies of My Enemy**" is the first episode of the first season of *All the Wrong Kids* and the first episode overall.

## Synopsis

On the first day of eighth grade, six kids in detention form an unlikely and reluctant alliance: Anastasia, who strives to become the most popular girl at Marshall Maddox Middle School; Nathaniel, eighth grade hustler and womanizer; Candace, headstrong feminist with tattletale tendencies; Finn, school nerd and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper; Percy, the school's golden boy; and Liesel, foreign exchange student from Germany.

## Plot

A new year at Marshall Maddox Middle School begins. Under the orders of their friend Nathaniel Ross, Jack Davis and Luke Laurent spray paint their three lockers with the words "SEXIST DOGS" and frame Candace Summerfield for the act, landing her in detention on the orders of Principal Schreiner. Afterwards, Nathaniel slips glue into Anastasia Holmes's backpack in the beginning of history class, framing her for gluing their history teacher Mrs. Stewart to her toilet seat. Mrs. Stewart, who still suspects that Nathaniel is at least partially guilty in spite of the evidence, gives both Anastasia and Nathaniel detention. When Courtney Reynolds attempts to defend Anastasia, Mrs. Stewart gives her detention, as well as Liesel Hofmeister, the new German student who tries to defend both Anastasia and Courtney.

Once at detention in Mr. Jones's classroom, where twin brothers Finn and Percy Chamberlain serve as detention monitors, the six in the room (save Liesel) complain about Heather Alloy, Anastasia's former best friend who has terrorized the majority of their grade consistently since at least fourth grade. Based on their mutual disliking of Heather, Anastasia, Candace and Nathaniel decide to form an alliance to get revenge on her. The following day at lunch, Nathaniel tells Anastasia and Candace that he believes the way to destroy Heather is to ruin her ambitions, a year-long process involving a fight for a prominent Student Council position and sports captaincies. Anastasia and Candace agree this is the only way.

Although initially against the group, Percy and Liesel are eventually drawn to join them after Finn is physically assaulted by school bullies Martin and Josh on behalf of Skip, who made the order as Heather's boyfriend after she encouraged him to go after all of Anastasia's friends. Finn avoids getting involved any deeper in the conflict, but when the boys continue to terrorize anyone who spends any time with Anastasia, including Liesel, Karen Swan, Sheila and Chenille Doberman and Howard McGovern, Finn decides to join the group, and the six make it their mission to put an end to Heather's reign.
