Season One Episode Three

The third episode takes place during the Fall Ball and its aftermath.

## Main Plot

Maple Delaney and Jia Zamora get ready for the Fall Ball at Lavender Burch's house. Lavender isn't very excited to go with Theo Calhoun, but at least she's not going alone. At the dance, Lavender actually has fun with Theo and she realizes how tall and cute he is. That is, until Mason comes around. She gets embarrassed and walks away from Theo. Then, she sees Mason dancing with Dora. She gets so upset, she leaves the barn. Theo finds Lavender outside, and talks with her. She confessed that she thought someone else was going to ask him out with the scavenger hunt. The next day, Lavender goes to Theo's house with a freshly baked honey cake. She tells him that even though she didn't want to go to the dance with him originally, she likes him.

## Subplots

Everyone is excited for the annual Crumplebottom Academy Fall Ball! Ezra McDaniels and Clover Reynolds are slow dancing when Clover finally decides to confront Ezra about her feelings. He doesn't want to talk about it, though. Clover asks Ezra if she were to kiss someone else, say Harvey (who has an obvious crush on her), how would he feel? Ezra says he wouldn't like it, but he's still not ready to define the relationship. Clover asks Yuri to sleep over after the dance because she's so upset. The next morning, Clover goes over to Ezra's house. They walk down to his beach to chat so his younger sister Sabrina can't eavesdrop. He tells Clover that he's not ready to commit, but when he is, he wants to be with Clover forever.

Maple sneaks Dexter Galindo out of his apartment and to the Fall Ball! He's nervous to climb down the fire escape, but with a little coaxing, he does it. When they get to the dance, they can't find Daphne, but figure she must be getting ready at home still. Eventually, Patina finds Dexter and informs him that Daphne is in the hospital for pulmonary exacerbation. Dexter, Patina, and Cassio take a car and go to the hospital. Daphne is alright, but she'll be in the hospital for a while she fights the infection. Dexter expects that his parents will ground him for sneaking out, but they don't. Their calmness makes him nervous that his sister is really sick.
