Greenhouse Academy S1 E12

## Plot

Eleven hours after the dance, the Ravens clean everything up, but they're also dealing with a lot of emotional turmoil after what happened, and not just the Aspen stuff. If anything, that was the tamest thing that happened that night. Also, I just realized that the dance had no adult supervision. Hayley is really pissed at Leo. Aspen is from London, and calls Leo Lee. They've known each other since they were five. Her father is a diplomat, and her family moved to L.A. when she was little. He's written a lot of songs for her. She left to study singing at the London Conservatory, but they were in a long distance relationship. That's the real reason why Leo initially brushed off Hayley after their first kiss. Aspen was the one who suggested that he apply to the Greenhouse in the first place. She's also atrocious at reading people, considering everyone is shocked and staring at her, and Hayley is clearly heartbroken. She talks about it later with Alex outside. He thinks Leo's a jerk, and offers to beat him up for her. That makes Hayley smile, but she says he's gotten into enough fights for one night. They see Judy heading towards the trail, but don't think anything of it. They head back to the dance. Aspen sings an Italian aria by Puccini for everyone. Opera singers and the 1950s don't mix. Boo! I find it kind of funny that her actress's name, Reina Hardesty, sounds like the exact opposite of her character's name, but the same horrible personality. It turns out that Leo also taught Aspen guitar chords. She doesn't notice everyone standing there awkwardly and staring at her, and not in a good way, in a weird way. At some other point during the night, Sophie announces that it's time for the annual Raven and Eagle Halloween dance off. They all get in a circle, take turns dancing in pairs, and the couple that gets the loudest applause wins. Brooke wants to dance with Daniel and use his crutches as a prop, but he's not in the mood. Max points at Emma to dance with her. Jackie was standing next to her, and started to step forward until she noticed Emma. She seems to have finally realized that she also has romantic feelings for Max, but thinks it's too late now. She displays all of this with just facial expressions. Great work Jessica Amlee. She's certainly come a long way from playing the annoying and talkative 12 year old Mallory on *Heartland*. Sophie crowns Max and Emma as the king and queen. Jason shows up, and asks Emma to meet him in his office. She leaves, and tells Max she's going to freshen up. He sits next to Jackie, and says that it's all thanks to her. Her plan to get him and Emma together worked. Jason plays the recording for Emma. She realizes he tapped her Louie. He called Brandon and said Emma just wanted to express her sympathy about the missing satellite. She says she'll call again and tell him everything. Couldn't she borrow someone else's Louie? Or use her old phone from before she got into the Greenhouse? At least then it probably wouldn't be tapped. Jason told Emma that hacking into the server was for a special project, and promised her a full college scholarship if she could pull it off. He still plans to honor that promise, since her parents would never be able to pay her tuition. She says her parents would rather not have her go to college at all than accept bribes from people like him. She's calling NASA back. He tells her to go right ahead, but says it's her word against his. The word of a teenager against the word of the dean of the Greenhouse. I'm getting those sexual harassment similarities again. False accusations to a government agency are a big deal, and he says the NSA will be watching her very closely. More like the FBI's cesspool of rejects, but let's not split hairs here. He kicks her out of the Greenhouse. The cover story is that her mom is sick and needs her, so she's going back home to take care of her. He's going to tell Louis that she had to leave right away because it was a family emergency. She's going to tell her parents that she got homesick. If she says anything about the satellite, he'll send the tape to the news. He tells her to pack and leave by tonight. Meanwhile, everyone is slow dancing. Max, Hayley, and Jackie are sitting out because they're heartbroken. Daniel is sitting out because he's a stubborn ass. Emma writes a goodbye letter, with Jason looking over her shoulder just in case. Daniel refuses to slow dance with Brooke, so she dances with Alex instead. Emma is crying, and asks if she can say goodbye to her friends. Jason doesn't think it's a good idea. She runs there anyways and dances with Max. Parker is dancing with Sophie. Emma tells Max that she has to go, and kisses him. She leaves. The next morning, Max is reading her letter. He asks Jackie why she didn't tell him that she was leaving the Greenhouse. She suggests that she didn't want to ruin his night. He never knew that her mom was sick, and says it doesn't make any sense. Jackie says that she was acting weird the past couple of weeks. Becca says they can talk later, and just wants to get the cleaning over with. There's cake everywhere. Daniel confronted Alex, and asked him why he was dancing with his girl. Brooke says she isn't anyone's girl, and he's making a fool of himself. He calls her a liar and a cheat. Alex tells him to leave her alone. Daniel finally explodes, and throws a cake at him, which he dodges. He and Brooke break up, which she's more than happy to do. He leaves. Leo congratulates Alex, and he decides to throw a cake in his face for breaking Hayley's heart with the Aspen stuff. Jackie once again echoes everyone's feelings there, including my own, by throwing one in Aspen's face too. Oh hell yes! Sophie tells everyone to stop, but no one listens. Parker soaks Hayley and Jackie in punch, but it's in good natured fun this time, not malice. Everyone launches into a food fight, which Max has the good sense to hide from. The next morning, Hayley and Jackie laugh about throwing cake in Aspen's face. Leo tells her that they need to talk. In the bathroom afterwards, she tried to get the cake out of her hair, to no avail. Sophie was next to her. She freaks out when she sees a rodent, but Sophie tells her it's their rabbit mascot Steph. Oh right, he exists. I wouldn't have been surprised if Judy or Jason or even Eric somehow kidnapped him and cooked him offscreen, just to show how evil they were. Aspen hates animals. And I hate her ten times more now. She's allergic to rodents' fur, which explains why she's still sneezing the next morning. Sophie says that what Leo did to his date was really repulsive. Um, Aspen's to blame here too. But yeah, Leo should've broken up with her after getting together with Hayley. She's not mad at him for that. She's decided to stay with him at the Greenhouse. She talked to Louis, and there's a vacancy in the Ravens house because Emma left. She kisses Leo and hugs him. Someone's super clingy. Leo doesn't have the backbone or the other thing to break up with her, because he's an idiot. Brooke and Alex talk at the beach. She says what happened with Daniel wasn't his fault. He's too stubborn and full of pride to take responsibility for his own actions, and she's done cleaning up after him, saying she's not his mother. That reminds Alex that he saw her last night. It's the same spot where Marcus disappeared, and where they met the park ranger. Brooke says it all started when Daniel found the park ranger's taser. Even if Judy was responsible for getting Daniel off the hook, it still doesn't explain why she was there. Unless she knew about the park ranger the whole time. What if she was trying to protect herself just as much as Daniel? They can't tell Louis, because he'd never believe that Judy could do anything wrong. Carter just got his job back. Alex still has Eric's card, and they decide to call him. Brooke thanks Alex for believing her, and they kiss. Max, Jackie, and Hayley are still feeling horrible though, and Leo doesn't feel much better. Aspen is taking over Emma's locker. Eric asks Alex and Brooke if anyone else knows about this, and they say no. He wants them to be discreet until they know more. Brooke leaves with him so he can take her statement at the station. There's something he wants her to see before that though. She kisses Alex again, and they leave. Judy texts Marcus at the cave, telling him that they're having a visitor today. She asks him to welcome Miss Osmond. He gets up and heads to another secret area of the cave. Inside, there's a woman in a coma hooked up to a lot of medical equipment… Ryan Woods, who is still very much alive. As the show says, to be continued…
