Sarah moved to Snowy Falls in first grade, whereas Lily came in 3rd grade, and arrived at their elementary school, quickly becoming Sarah's best friend. In *My Equality*, Sarah realizes she is crushing on Lily and comes out as a lesbian. In *Picnic Crashed: Part 2* they confessed their love for each other.

### *A Beginning*

The episode opens in the cafeteria, where Lily and Sarah are discussing the school's assembly, which they both agree will bore them out of their minds. Across from them, the school bully, Savannah comments that she will enjoy the assembly because every student will be distracted enough for her to bully. Lily and Sarah both claim to have no regard for what she is saying, causing Savannah to depart for the bathroom.

In the assembly, Mrs. Burns announces that there have been plenty straight As. Lily complains that the gathering is extremely boring, with Savannah countering and tugging on Sarah's hair. Mrs. Jones snaps to the three that there should be no talking. Mrs. Burns then calls the names of James Park, Hazel Reese, Kathleen Sanders, Lily and Sarah as she claims they have done the best. Savannah scowls at her brother, a fact that Lily and Sarah share a laugh about. During math class, Lily and Sarah have to take a pop quiz, which neither of them expected.

After school, Lily and Sarah hang out together at Lily's house. They are playing Chess, and Sarah wins, which annoys Lily before she asks what to do next. But before Sarah can answer, her mother texts her, telling her to come home. Sarah asks her and Lily's mother if she can stay for dinner, to which the answer is yes. After Sarah leaves, she encounters something rustling in a bush, walking home with a branch in order to attack anything that may come at her. Later, Lily texts Sarah whether or not she is home, and Sarah answers that she is, and Lily ends the conversation with *see you tomorrow*.

### *Sarah's Surprise*

Sarah is mentioned by both the Walkers and Hunters as they prepare her birthday for tomorrow. The next day, Lily offers to let Sarah stay at her place. Sarah agrees and says that they can celebrate there. Lily hopes that Savannah won't ruin the day, but Sarah reassures her that Savannah won't ruin the day as long as they are together. Lily agrees, confusedly.

At Lily's house, Lily offers that they go outside, and Sarah agrees, quickly texting her mother about where she and Joseph are. Serena tells Sarah that they are not at home. Sarah, growing skeptical of Lily, questions why she can't go home, and Lily begins to explain before getting interrupted by her phone and heads off to answer. Sarah waits for Lily to come back, and when the latter does, she explains that she wants to savor the moment. Sarah asks if they should head to her house, and Lily agrees, breaking into a run and racing her.

The parents rush to finish the party and do right before Sarah enters the house. Sarah's parents jump into the scene and shout "happy birthday!" Lily arrives and asks Sarah how she feels, and Sarah says she feels like she could sail the world. Serena argues and says that she and Joseph wouldn't let her. Lily stops the argument and says that they should celebrate. A montage begins of both families going through activities, and ends when the Hunters leave.

### *Curiosity is Allowed*

The episode begins at Sarah's house. Lily and Sarah had had a sleepover the previous night. While they get ready to head to the bus stop, they talk about what Savannah could do, and that she's probably bullying a student. Sarah's mother instructs the duo to go to the bus stop, and Lily and Sarah head out to the bus stop.

Upon arriving at school, Lily and Sarah find that their prediction was correct. Savannah is bullying a student named Belle for her skin tone. Lily and Sarah jump in and threaten to tell Principal Gray if she doesn't stop. Despite Savannah giving into their threat, Lily wants to tell Principal Gray and Sarah agrees to do so at lunch. In math class, the students are assigned to groups to work on multiplication. Savannah, Belle, and Sarah are grouped together. Belle asks Savannah to solve a math problem, and she does. Sarah asks Belle a question and Belle lingers on the answer, unsure. Savannah mocks Belle for not solving it, but Belle figures out the answer in the end.

During lunch, Lily and Sarah head to Principal Gray's office. Lily is about to knock, but Sarah says that there is a sign, informing all students to wait inside the office. The duo enters and sits down on some chairs. However, Sarah finds a slip of paper and wants to read it. Lily tries to stop her, as it is labeled under Savannah's name. However, Sarah reads it and discovers Savannah's plans to take down certain students. Principal Gray then enters and Lily and Sarah tell her what Savannah did. They exit the office and agree to go through Principal Gray's files to see what Savannah could be doing.

### *The Plan*

Sarah goes to band class, and is greeted by Mr. Dial. She then opens her sheet music and questions the song which is called *Sapphire*. Hazel attempts to play it on her flute, and they both realize the song sounds like Diamonds. Mr. Dial admits that it does and continues on. After, Lily and Sarah meet up in class and discuss Mr. Dial's rip off. Lily reminds Sarah of their plan for that day.

In the halls, Lily and Sarah bump into Belle. Lily asks Belle if she's in Savannah's class, which Belle confirms, asking why they want to know. Sarah agrees to explain at recess and the two walk off, later catching Savannah attacking a student. Sarah scolds Savannah and tells her that she's crazy. Savannah complains that it's not weird at all. Lily reminds her that it is and that teachers are always watching. Another student jokes that they're watching you in your sleep. Mrs. Burns steps in and sends Savannah to Principal Gray's office.

At recess, Sarah is trying to jump and grab the monkey bars. Lily is convinced that she can't reach them, and Sarah tells Lily that she should be there to support them. Belle arrives and asks Lily and Sarah to explain. Sarah begins by explaining the sticky note she found. Lily adds on by stating her concerns for who Savannah wants revenge on. Sarah finishes by explaining their plan to find more evidence, and asks Belle to check the homeroom, which Belle will gladly do if she can.

In Principal Gray's office, Principal Gray hands Lily and Sarah a key to the filing cabinets. Lily begins going through one, dubbing Sarah as *Miss Robot*, which aggravates her. She reads the paper and, shocked, Sarah helps her find others. When they do, they are able to put more puzzle pieces together. They enter the closet which is full of paper bins, and Savannah locks them in. Sarah is ready to give up, but Lily reminds her of Sarah's statement during recess. Sarah agrees, but is then hit in the head with a key. Lily tries it out and it works, and Lily and Sarah exit, calling their parents. Unbeknownst to them, someone had given them the key and didn't think it would work.

### *Belle's Story*

Episode begins at Lily's house. Sarah, Lily and Belle are trying to stop Savannah. Lily suggests they try to make her on edge, but Belle answers that she never gets nervous, and Lily asks if it's not even when teachers are watching her. Belle answers that she's not nervous then, and has never been for as long as she's known her. Sarah realizes what Belle said and questions it. Belle gives in and begins to explain.

Belle starts by explaining that she was Savannah's friend in fifth grade, when they got partnered up. Savannah asked Belle if they should be friends and Belle had agreed. Sarah comments that she had never known of Savannah's nice side. Lily and Belle agree. Belle continues by explaining that she and Savannah were almost as close as Lily and Sarah, causing Sarah to blush. Belle continues on, saying that in sixth grade, her parents taught her not to interact with people that were black. *Unavailable* plays as she continues to explain. Belle tries to reason with her, but Savannah refuses to listen.

Belle concludes her story to a shocked Lily and Sarah, who tell her that she shouldn't waste her time trying to reconcile with Savannah, and should spend time with people who care about her. Lily reassures Belle that they would never abandon her because of her skin tone, and Sarah agrees, promising that they're going to fix everything together.

### *My Equality*

The episode begins with Sarah relaxing at her house. She hears a knock on the door and opens it to find Lily. Sarah begins rambling but stops upon seeing Lily's confusion. Lily observes that she is blushing and Sarah runs to grab water. At the park, Lily wonders why Sarah is blushing so much, and Sarah dodges the question, changing the subject to the sports. Lily begins discussing their soccer game, which Sarah panics about. She leaves then under the excuse that it's getting hot.

Sarah sits on her bed later, pondering why she is acting like this around Lily. She notes that she's been friends with Lily for a long time, and realizes that she loves her - sealing her lesbianism. Later at night, Sarah has drawn a lesbian flag with the words *I am a lesbian* on it, hoping her family will accept her. The next day, Lily reassures Sarah that they can handle the soccer game and begin. Sarah manages to score a goal despite her thoughts being clouded with shock.

At recess, Sarah asks Lily if she can share a secret, and Lily prompts her. Sarah comes out with ease to Lily, admitting she is scared of going home, and Lily promises to help Sarah come out to her parents. Sarah worries they won't accept her, and Lily says that she will make them. At Sarah's house, Sarah's father admits that they will have to adjust to her being a lesbian, and her mother agrees. Sarah worries that her parents don't accept her, and once they reveal that they do, she heads upstairs, and Lily asks about Sarah's crush, which Sarah refuses to reveal. Lily agrees to not ask Sarah anymore, which Sarah is grateful for.

### *School Events*

Mrs. Jones is teaching her class, and is about to recite a quote, however her class stops her as they know what she is going to say. Mrs. Jones argues that they in fact *didn't* know, but Lily reminds her that she always says that. Mrs. Jones continues, however Principal Gray comes on the speakers and asks the staff and students to head to the gym for an assembly. Mrs. Jones leads her class there.

At the assembly, Mrs. Burns explains to the school that they are going to open up a new event. While Lily is sarcastic about accepting it, Mrs. Burns hooks both her and Sarah by announcing that the school is opening a picnic. After answering a student's question, Mrs. Burns plays a song, mentioning secret crushes, which causes Sarah to blush. After listening a bit, Lily admits that the song is not bad, and begins to enjoy it. Sarah asks if Lily is going to the picnic, and Lily says that she is if her parents allow her. Mrs. Burns announces what she believes to be a bass drop, and Lily and Sarah disagree.

After they leave, Lily and Sarah discuss the picnic until Sarah accidentally bumps into Savannah, which annoys Savannah. Sarah apologizes and hands Savannah a sheet of paper, which Savannah snatches, and Lily questions this. Savannah does not answer, and Lily and Sarah walk off to catch their bus, and Lily continues, hyped about the picnic. Savannah comments to herself that they don't know what's coming for them.

### *Alliance Club*

The episode begins at lunch, where Lily and Sarah are at the school's sign-up sheet. Lily finds a group called the Alliance Club, and reads the advertisement ("*Feeling scared to be LGBTQ? Join this club and get support from others in your situation, friends (that could be straight), and even teachers!*"). Lily and Sarah sign up for the club. Savannah watches the two from a distance, deciding to join in order to humiliate them. Lily questions whether or not Savannah will do anything, which Sarah replies that she won't.

At the club, Sarah and Lily bump into Savannah, and Sarah questions why she is there. Savannah explains that upon hearing that Lily and Sarah joined, she had to do so as well. Unamused, Lily drags Sarah away. Mrs. Burns greets everyone happily and tells them to introduce themselves. Sarah explains that she is a lesbian that easily came out, but feels uncertain inside. Lily tells everyone that she is straight, and supports LGBT students, but her mother assumed her sexuality. Savannah argues that Lily, being straight, should not be there, but Sarah counters Savannah by questioning whether or not she is gay. Savannah ignores the question and explains that she is there to explain what she thinks about LGBT students.

Mrs. Burns, interested, prods Savannah to tell them what she thinks. Savannah starts off by saying that they are stupid. Angrily, Mrs. Burns sends her to Principal Gray's office, and Savannah begrudgingly does so. Mrs. Burns resumes the club meeting. Later, Lily and Sarah leave the place in a good mood as Savannah is now considered a homophobe. Angrily, Savannah whispers to herself that they have no idea what's coming. At Savannah's house, she reveals where and when she's going to go after Lily and Sarah - the picnic.

### *The Picnic*

Episode begins at Lily's house. Lily, Sarah, and Belle are discussing the picnic together. Belle wonders if any of her friends will be dressing specially, and Sarah answers that she is going in a braid. Belle says the same thing, and Lily dubs them both "braid buddies."

At school, Mrs. Jones explains what the picnic will look like. Sarah asks if the entire school will be open, and Mrs. Jones explains that it won't be, just the lobby, gym, and some bathrooms. In science class, Lily and Sarah take notes on a butterfly. However, Principal Gray goes onto the speakers and instructs everyone to head to their own homerooms as it is a half day. In the halls, Lily and Sarah bump into Hazel, who Lily warns about Savannah. Hazel realizes that she would go after them at the picnic, and warns them both to be careful.

In the car, Sarah is talking with her father about the picnic. Joseph tells her that they will be waiting at some benches. Sarah meets Lily and Belle at the entrance, and the trio heads to pick up food. They later head into the gym to play a game. However, Principal Gray instructs everyone to leave. Confused, the three girls attempt to get out, but are caught in a crowd. Before they can exit, they notice Savannah locking the three in.

## Personality and Traits

Sarah is kind hearted and friendly. When a challenge hits her, she confronts them without hesitation. As shown in *A Beginning*, Sarah uses her 'I don't care' attitude to handle bullies. Sarah is a comedic girl who uses her comedy to make situations lighter, and it is heavily implied that her sense of humor is stronger than that of her girlfriend. Sarah is a bright girl who views the world uniquely and is perfectly comfortable in her own shoes. Sarah can come off as clumsy even though she really isn't.

Sarah will go far for her own friends and family, but unlike Lily, may stop if she knows she can't handle it. However, Sarah loves her family and has less conflict with them, as she is less likely to get angry with them and speak her mind calmly. Sarah knows her limits and won't risk everything for her family, but she loves them all the same.
