After Abbey accidentally discovers Smoot's racist past, Cattie brings Native American students in to make up for the bad publicity. Plus, Rod and Loren start a craft brewery on campus, but find that their success may be short-lived.

It's Principal Quinn's trial, and Shoemaker, Abbey, Fairbell and Loren have been summoned to the witness stand. Meanwhile, Cattie enlists Leslie to transform Smoot into a passable school for an incoming reporter.

Loren finally completes his novel, but the book's success goes to his head, forcing Shoemaker to become his 'agent.' However, when the novel sparks a hookup outbreak, Fairbell and Summer's abstinence class takes a dramatic turn.
