One of Tyler's few remaining allies in Student Government hands in a resignation letter. Tyler attempts to trade carpool access for political favors, while Hadley discovers an untapped political resource via a group of girls who claim to somehow be "friends with everyone."

Hadley and Tyler make moves to diminish the in-crowd's influence at Berenger, starting with the annual student vs. faculty "Staffsketball" game. Fearful that their longstanding status is being threatened, the popular kids reach a decision that could alter the political balance at Berenger forever.

Tyler suppresses fears that a Staffsketball game without popular kids may result in the first Student Team loss in school history, while Hadley catches wind of an in-crowd conspiracy to revive "Chadebra" — Berenger High's most formidable power couple.
