## Plot

It is the beginning of the school year; Jessie and Bertram couldn’t be happier. On Emma's first day of high school, she meets a rude, aggressive girl named Rosie. To Emma's dismay, they’re assigned to do an art project together and Rosie ends up embarrassing her in front of their entire art class. Meanwhile, Luke searches through his backpack and Kenny the Koala accidentally falls out. Random bullies witness the incident and laugh at him. Ravi takes the blame in order to leave Luke off the hook; unfortunately, they start teasing him instead. Elsewhere, Zuri is upset because she has just started third grade and her homework is more difficult, so she refuses to do it. Feeling guilty and upset, Rosie attempts to apologize to Emma for embarrassing her, Luke reveals to everyone at Walden Academy Middle School that he owns Kenny, not Ravi, as the brothers kindly embrace, and Zuri reveals why she didn't complete her homework, forcing Jessie to cheer her up.

## Goofs

* This episode doesn’t fit into chronological order. This episode takes place on the first day of school and The Whining took place on Halloween, therefore, Emma was already in high school and this was probably because this episode was in production before then.
* When Jessie is first fighting with Zuri over homework, she says it's vocabulary words she has to do, but the sheet said basic math.
