## **Plot**

As Strawberry and Raja are taking a walk to Cinnamon's annual Halloween party, they suddenly recieve a text from a groupchat including everybody from the class.

> *"Riya, Tootsie, Samantha...even some girl named Gladys! Who's that?"*
>
>

Strawberry sees Raja's also invited to the group chat. She tells him and he says he didn't get a notification and quickly remembers he doesn't have his data on. Strawberry then reads a text the creator of the chat sent.

> "*Hello students of Beverly Valley High. Want to play a game and win some money? A car will come and pick u up from your exact location in 30 seconds. Goodluck."*
>
>

A white van shows up and Strawberry is ecstatic to get in. Raja refuses. But Strawberry is trying to convince him into getting in, and since he doesn't want anything happening to her, he gets in too.

Raja and Strawberry are sitting in the back of the van and there is a smoke coming in. Strawberry believes they are going to a rave and gets more excited. Raja is talking about the fact that he was right and they're getting kidnapped. They pass out.

They wake up in a building of a strange remote island and find their friends there. Raja believes it is Cinnamon's doing, and she wakes up too but it isn't, because she is revealed to be a contestant too.

The rest of the players wake up and Rhubarb is talking about a sandwich made from cupcakes and pancakes.

A mysterious person is in a black hooded robe and is wearing a black and gold anonymous mask and greets the players. He immediately cuts to the point and introduces the first game, (which in the original series is Red Light, Green Light), but here is Red Light, Spell Right. The contestants are then challenged to do an obstacle course in ten seconds and spell a word meanwhile. Agnes is chosen first. Chad is trying to cheer her up, but Strawberry is ranting about how she's sweating and she can't even get through a single jungle gym. Her word is nauseous. She mentions she's afraid of heights and starts going through the course, spelling the word--but falls at the letter U, and thus getting eliminated.

> The mysterious masked person explains her consequence and exposes her secret.
>
>

> *She has an open relationship with Chad but doesn't want an open relationship. She won't date him because she thinks he's too stupid for her.*
>
>

She hears as the host announces this and quickly deflects. Chad seems sad, and Agnes is trying to convince him she loves him, but is dragged away by a guard.

The female contestants are worried that their secrets will be exposed, due to the host revealing Agnes's secret. Rhubarb is massaging Cinnamon's calves aggressively and Cinnamon complains about it. Strawberry is scared the most because she fears her channel will be found out about.

Daniel steps up and announces he doesn't want to participate. The Host lets him leave. But as he is about to go he exposes Daniel too.

> *"Player 087, Daniel, truth. He is bisexual.*
>
>

Samantha then says she thinks it's hot that he is bi, meanwhile Daniel is being taken by a guard. He is deflecting at first, but then asks how the Host knew.
Chad then says he never told anybody Daniel was bisexual--he then finishes by saying he only told five people max.--Then realizes he told seven people.

> *--He likes to front that he doesn't like Tootsie, but the truth is, he actually had the biggest crush on her all through middle school.--*
>
>

The players are surprised. The Host finally finishes;

> *The restraining order he claimed he had against Tootsie was fake all along.*
>
>

Tootsie is extremely excited and squeals, but Riya reminds her Raja's her boyfriend, so she can't date him.

Raja notices Tootsie's excitement, but she brushes it off, saying she loves Raja, not Daniel.

Cinnamon is then outraged by the fact that her ex-boyfriend loved Tootsie. Then it is suddenly Chad's turn. His word is cat. He is about to start--and already fails, by spelling cat with a K instead of a C.

> *Player 086 eliminated. Chad, Truth. Chad has failed two grades--he should have already graduated high school.*
>
>

The players notice that this makes sense, because Strawberry only goes for older men and Raja has been tutoring him for years. Samantha and Gladys play as the contestants. They must climb a wall. Their word is Harmonica. Gladys falls down and loses. The Host reveals that Gladys has collected Cinnamon's hair and turned it into a wig that she wears and pretends she is Cinnamon in front of her mirror.

Cinnamon is furious and wants to fight Gladys, but Rhubarb stops her and tells her she does it too. Cinnamon is confused and disgusted but stops herself from fighting the two.

Samantha then continues but falls down at the final letter A, and is thus eliminated.

> "*Samantha H. has been on every dating app there is for the latest 6 months but nobody swipes right so she has been using Cinnamon Rodriguez's photos to catfish boys."*
>
>

Cinnamon is ultimately furious and decides to lunge at Samantha but Rhubarb comes to stop her again, and says she's done it too. Cinnamon stares at her in disgust and walks away, still angry, but controlled.

Raja is on a slide and tells Strawberry there is no way out. She starts crying and Raja hugs her.

Tootsie and a guard are walking to her station where she is supposed to be at. She asks him what her word is, but he refuses to tell her. She gives up, but then asks what her secret is. She tells him she throws her dirty tampons in the washing machine so she can re-use them. He then stops and turns around in disgust.

Tootsie has reached her station and her word is 'There.' She says there are three types of the word there, but the Host ignores this and tell her to go still.

> She is skeptical but goes still, and picks the version, 'Their'. She fails. Raja thinks it is okay because they have no secrets between each other, but he is proved wrong when her secret is exposed.
>
>

> *"Player 032, Tootiana, eliminated. She carries a list in her purse of 10 boys she would like to date.--*
>
>

Raja is heartbroken and is left silent.

> "*--Raja is on that list but he is tenth."*
>
>

Riya quietly says to the camera that that is true.

Tootsie says it isn't true, and that it was a long time ago, but Raja is in shock. Rhubarb says it's pathetic and that he is the first, second, third, fourth and fifth on her list. He says that was painful and Tootsie is dragged away.

Strawberry says she needs to become friends with the maskes man and that he would do wonders for her channel.

It is now Riya's turn and her word is Sesquipedalian. She fails and her 'secret' is exposed. The Host literally only says 'Virgin' and nobody cares, because they all knew that.

Raja tells Strawberry that this is the day everybody finds out about her YouTube channel. It is now her turn and she goes. Her word is Strawberry and she easily passes. Rhubarb says she hopes that when it is her turn, she hopes it isn't her name, because she can't spell it.

Raja is glad she made it and Cinnamon is also. She says she makes her cheerleaders work hard and Rhubarb agrees.

Raja's turn. His word is phenomenon. He finds the word challenging to spell but still passes.

It is Rhubarb's turn to go and her word is pie. She says it is easy because she is named after one, and violently passes. She comments she is built like a truck.

Cinnamon is up and she confidently struts to the station. Her word is coûteuse. She scoffs at how easy it is to spell *expensive* in French. She confidently spells it, while Strawberry hopes for her to fall, but passes and walks away.

Strawberry is talking about how she needs to win because nobody can find out about her channel.

New game.

Sugar honeycomb. As in the original, they have a specific amount minutes to get a shape out of a honeycomb made from sugar. They have two minutes.

Rhubarb asks herself how she would be able to get a circle out from sugar with just a needle, but then smells the honeycomb. She tries to grab it, but it then cuts to Raja, taking his needle. Cinnamon says she doesn't need the money, but she can't have her secrets exposed. Strawberry asks for a new shape because hers is the hardest one. The timer starts. The students scratch the shapes out but Rhubarb starts sucking on the candy. She says it's delicious and takes a massive bite and is then eliminated.

Her secret is that during the time she and Raja dated, she cheated on him with Ashton because Raja refused for her to get close with him, but he doesn't care because he doesn't love her. However, Strawberry is angry because Rhubarb slept with Ashton when she and Ashton were dating--but then stops caring because "everybody was her boyfriend." Rhubarb starts begging for forgiveness by Raja who flinches because he's scared that Rhubarb might come close. As she has left, he continues with his honeycomb, and breaks it, losing.

He is in shock, and his secret is that he has a crush on Strawberry. He deflects and says he loves Tootsie and not Strawberry, but they don't care, and Strawberry says she didn't see it coming. He is dragged away.

Cinnamon tells Strawberry she can't wait to hear her secret. She feels like she has been hiding something from her. Strawberry nervously shrugs it off. Cinnamon turns around and she figures out that she can lick the sugar away from the shape so she can now win. She gets her star out in time and Cinnamon loses.

Strawberry joyfully says that she will get her brazilian butt lift (BBL).

Cinnamon attempts to persuade the Guards and the Host to let her go, but the Host declines. She asks if she knows who her father is and that she will sue them all. Then the Host says he does and that he is family. He then introduces the girls to the Master of the Game and Lacienega steps out. The girls sit in surprise. Cinnamon says that it would of course be her. Lacienega asks if she misses her and that it's been a while. Strawberry thinks it is too good and is delighted to see Lacienega again.

There is then a sudden flashback of her talking to Lacienega, where Lacienega asks if she thought she'd be upset that Strawberry ran a drama channel based off of Cinnamon. She says she wouldn't be, and that she would be able to help her because she knows more than Strawberry would ever be able to find out, She shows her the photo and the flashback ends.

Strawberry asks if she has a secret about Cinnamon since she lost and Cinnamon gets suspicious and asks Strawberry what she is doing.

Lacienega announces she will be joining Beverly Valley High, which as opposed to Cinnamon, Strawberry is awfully delighted, and explains she threw the game as a welcome activity. She tells her that she sent the entire school the photo of her and the reason to why she left the boarding school. She tells Strawberry to enjoy her money and Strawberry says she will. Cinnamon is now very suspicious of her, and tells her she will figure out her secret this year.
