## Plot

All the students are studying for their midterms and working hard.

Nellie tells Lucy that she believes Ms. Rose is Heather, saying she was the one who wrote the question about how she pays for her tuition. Lucy asks her the same question and promises not to tell anyone, when Nellie tells her the secret about her payment, she tries to figure out a plan to stop Ms. Rose before anyone else finds out her secret.

Merriweather makes an announcement that there are suspicions that someone is selling illegal study drugs and anyone who is connected to that behaviour will be sent home.

Ms. Rose is about to leave her office when she is then approached by Chloe who asks for some advice. She says that her friend (Lola) has a secret and is afraid it will affect how people will view her. Ms. Rose suggests she start confiding in one person, and when she says her secret out loud, it will feel a lot less frightening. She tells Chloe to walk with her and talk more for a bit. After they leave, Nellie and Lucy sneak inside her office.

Nick is on the phone with his father and suggests a way to get Tiffany out of their way. His father suggests he should just stay out of trouble and that their company doesn’t need anymore bad press.

Nellie finds old photos of Ms. Rose when she was a student at Crown Lake. She notices that her mother is in one of them, and believes Ms. Rose is the reason she left Crown Lake, they look in the cabinets next to the windows and find an old student file of Hannah Blackwood and how she’s a lazy student. Then Ms. Rose opens her office door, Nellie and Lucy quickly hide under her desk, she gets a lunch bag and leaves. Then Nellie tells Lucy to make copies of the file.

Josh talks to Chloe and asks if he did anything to upset her. She tells him it’s not his fault and she’s just confused about how she feels and can’t be with anyone until she figures it out. Then she looks over at Lola who is walking to class, Josh tells her he just wants her to be happy and that she should be herself.

Lucy arrives at her computer programming class and is ready to present her midterm. During the presentation, Tiffany looks online that her father, George St. Martin has been arrested for fraud. After Lucy's presentation, Mrs. Loftus makes Tiffany present her midterm by plugging the projector plug into her computer which shows the newspaper of her dad being arrested. Tiffany is embarrassed much to Lucy’s amusement.

The next day, everyone sees the copies of files written by Ms. Rose about different students all over the walls. Everyone is disgusted at what they are reading and then Merriweather calls Ms. Rose into her office immediately. She then figures out that Nellie framed her and is responsible for this.

Later, Ms. Rose is fired by Merriweather and start to leave the Academy and then runs into Nellie who tells her that she knew she had it in for her just like she did for her mother Dana Roth. Ms. Rose tells her she is wrong and then gives her the key around her neck.

Later that night, a mysterious figure writes on the Tattle Wall that Nellie was wrong and that Ms. Rose isn’t Heather.
