Season One Episode Ten

The tenth episode takes place in December, the week before Crumplebottom Academy's junior musical Murder in Pleasantview takes the stage.

## Main Plot

It's the week before the musical Murder in Pleasantview goes up, and Maple Delaney is perfecting Lorem Larimore's makeup for her role as Dina Caliente. Lorem gives Yuri an attitude and Maple warns Yuri about seeing Lorem slap Sebastian Cook. Lorem tells Maple that they were stage slaps, and didn't actually hurt. She even demonstrates on a less than enthusiastic Sebastian.

At the dress rehearsal the next day, faculty advisor Ms. Cline tells Ollie, the play's director, that she would like to see more stage chemistry between Lorem and Lavender Burch, who is playing Nina Caliente. Behind the scenes, they were still not getting along. Lorem pranked Lavender into wearing a lime green wig, she disrupted one of her solo rehearsals, and Lavender retaliated by making fun of Lorem's mustache. Ollie instructs his cast to do trust falls to build their relationships. He demonstrates one with Holland Bollinger, who is nervous because she has a crush on him! Lorem offers to do a trust fall with Lavender, and ends up intentionally dropping her.

Holland and Ollie meet at The Barn to discuss the Lorem and Lavender situation. He wants to direct a senior play next year, and if Lorem and Lavender didn't have good chemistry, it would kill his chances.

The next day, Ollie asks Lorem and Lavender to meet him at Crumplebottom Academy for a private rehearsal. Little do they know, he has other plans! He locks them in the storage closet, hoping they could work things out. After the girls protest, Ollie realizes his plan isn't gonna work... When he tries to release them, his key breaks. Now they're really locked in!

Ollie checks the woodshop room for a screwdriver, but it's locked. He doesn't know what to do, so he calls Holland. She suggests he goes to the local hardware store in downtown Willow Creek. Meanwhile, Lorem unsuccessfly attempts to climb on Lavender's back to reach a window and possibly escape.

While waiting for Ollie, Lavender confronts Lorem about why she's so mean. Lavender accuses Lorem of being jealous of her for having more friends and dating Theo Calhoun. Lorem blows this idea off, and they both go stew alone in their respective corners.

While Ollie purchases the screwdriver, Lavender notices Lorem filing her nails with a metal nail file. She reveals that she was able to break into the atrium at the botanical gardens using her own nail file. She's able to bust them out! They come face-to-face will Ollie, who is apologetic for getting them in this situation. He'll do anything for their forgiveness. Lavender suggests they be able to slap Ollie once each, which earns her some respect from Lorem. After slapping Ollie, he is forgiven, and the girls are officially bonded!

The next day, Lavender invites Maple and Lorem makeup shopping at Simphora, and they are officially friends!
