**Vivian** was merely walking down Shadyside's Main Street when she stumbled upon what she assumed was a Flea Market. To her surprise, the signage claimed every piece of clothing displayed along the sidewalk was free. Still, dubious, she questioned a young girl who seemed to be in charge nearby, and was told to take anything home she liked. Admitting she could use a new Winter coat, Vivian tried on a Leopard print jacket she admired, and happily continued her walk wearing her new free garment. Upon reaching Cloud 10, Vivian felt the urge to go in and browse. The women working within complimented her new coat and Vivian recounted how she got it, before leaving, abruptly deciding to go back to look around some more.

**Officer Penn** was sent to investigate a report of a suspicious Flea Market that had popped up suddenly on Shadyside's Main Street. Arriving at the location, the officer discovered four juvenile subjects apparently dealing out a multitude of high quality garments. He asked them, if they had a permit for such activity, and was informed that the clothing in question was being given away not sold. Penn then asked about the provenance of the merchandise, and was given a murky response that Mint Chip had thrown them all away. Officer Penn then inquired which of them was "Mint Chip". The apparent leader of the group then attempted to justify their actions by stating that Mint Chip's wasteful practices were a crime to her. Officer Penn then followed up by asking, *who had asked her?* Some time later. Officer Penn personally shut the cell door on the four incarcerated suspects, now identified as Jonah Beck, Buffy Driscoll, Andi Mack, and Cyrus Goodman.

Officer Penn was played by **Matthew Bellows**.

##### **Trivia**

* In One Girl's Trash, it was revealed that, as a result of Officer Penn's investigation, Andi Mack, Buffy Driscoll, Cyrus Goodman, and Jonah Beck, were each assigned twenty hours of community service.

**Mrs. Frankel** was a Social Studies teacher at Jefferson Middle School. One day, she had her class arrange their desks in a circle, so they could all face each other. She then gave each student a slip of paper with another classmate's name on it and instructed them to describe what they knew of that individual, but not reveal their name or what that person looked like. However, when Andi Mack objected being ascribed by Kristina with presumed Asian traits, Mrs. Frankel took the opportunity to discuss the use of stereotypes with the class. Later in the week, she encountered the Good Hair Crew admiring Andi's project comprised of trash, and complimented the artist on her work.

**Kristina** was a student at Jefferson Middle School. During an exercise in Mrs. Frankel's Social Studies class, she was able to identify herself by Harris calling her the coolest girl in school. However, when she looked at the name she had been given, Kristina had to confess to not knowing that person very well. She admitted the person once threw a cool party, and presumed she was good with computers and either played the violin or piano. Harris guessed Andi Mack, and although Andi denied it, Kristina confirmed Andi as her selection. This led Mrs. Frankel to discuss the use of stereotypes with the class.

**Rachel** was Marty's girlfriend. While Rachel and Marty were at the local Shadyside bowling alley, he greeted a girl passing by that he identified as Buffy. Marty seemed extremely concerned by her apparent limp, while she mocked his recent haircut. Marty introduced Rachel as his girlfriend, and Buffy replied that his girlfriend was actually real. Becoming irritated, Rachel asked Buffy to clarify that statement. Buffy replied with some vague reference about Canada, causing Rachel to demand if Marty had said she was in Canada. The pair played it off as some sort of inside joke, and Rachel could only glare at them in uncomfortable silence. Buffy got the hint, and began to walk away, but Marty still insisted to warn Buffy about her foot, and pulled out his phone and began texting. While Buffy claimed to be fine, Rachel wanted to know who Marty was texting. Marty admitted he was texting Buffy, which puzzled Rachel, as Buffy was still standing in front of them. Marty stated it was the details for a foot doctor. However, Buffy denied needing one, but Marty was adamant that she did. Watching the pair exchanged significant glances, drove Rachel to ask if they could start bowling, Marty said everything was cool, as Buffy limped back where she came from. However, Rachel was not satisfied, pointing at Buffy she demanded to know what exactly she meant to Marty. When Marty was less than forthcoming, Rachel grabbed her bag, and left the lanes in disgust. Marty caught up with her and reluctantly began revealing his complicated history with Buffy. Several minutes later, Marty finished, swearing that Buffy was just a friend. Yet, Rachel could tell that Buffy was interested in him as more than a friend. Marty denied that assertion. Rachel demanded to know how he knew that for certain, had he actually asked her. Marty stated it had been a long time ago and Rachel knew she had been right. Marty claimed it had all happened before they had ever met. However, Rachel now knew conclusively, that Marty had liked Buffy. Marty reiterated that he and Buffy were just friends but Rachel had come to the realization that Marty wished he was with Buffy instead of her. Marty denied that, and asked if they could just end the conversation, describing it as "torture". Fed up, Rachel began to walk away. Marty began to apologize for what he said, when a pained cry came from across the room. By the snack bar, Buffy had aggravated her foot injury. Calling out her name, Marty went to her side. Rachel called out his name in warning, and Marty stopped between the two girls. Claiming to be fine, Buffy limped away with her food. When Marty did not immediately return to her side, a frustrated Rachel declared that she was out, and left Marty behind, effectively ending their relationship.
