Angela bounces down the stairs at home. Patty calls to her that "Sharon is here," and Angela's whole body deflates. She slinks around the corner and watches as Patty fusses over Sharon, telling her not to "eat the crust," and handing her a muffin instead. Sharon looks up to see Angela, and moves toward her, saying, "I left my Anne Frank here." Angela says nothing.

Up in her room, Patty and Danielle root through Angela's possessions as Sharon leans against Angela's vanity and Angela leans in the doorway. Making sure to say it in front of Patty, Sharon remarks, "You know, you could have told me you were quitting." Patty rears up and demands, "What? What are you quitting?" Angela complains that they're going to be late. Sharon smirks, but only with her eyes, as Patty tells Angela, "I thought you liked Yearbook!" Angela sighs, and Danielle yells, "I found it!" She hands Sharon the book. Sharon struts out, pausing at the doorway to shoot Angela a "ha!" look, and Danielle snots, "Well, don't thank me, or anything." Angela yells at her to get out of her room. Patty hands Angela a ticket for her guilt trip: "And when were you planning on telling me?" Suddenly she stops herself and snorts, "Listen to me. [duh voice] 'I thought you liked Yearbook. Your room is a disaster.' Do you think I ever dreamed that I would sound like this?" Angela smiles at her fondly, and walks off. Patty yells after her, "I am not cleaning this up!" and then sinks down on the bed. Because she knows she will.

At school, the bell rings in an empty hall. In the bathroom, Rickie watches as Rayanne applies lipstick to Angela's mouth. Rayanne announces, "So, Rickie, Angela's in love with Jordan Catalano. We have to help her." In the background, Rickie applies eyeliner and says nothing. Angela scolds her, "Rayanne!" and Rayanne reminds her, "Oh, come on! I can tell Rickie! You've gotta come to Tino's tonight. He'll be there." Angela points out, "He doesn't even know me. Am I making a fool of myself?" In a "who cares?" tone, Rayanne says, "I don't know. Rickie, give us the male perspective." Rickie says, "Don't you love how he leans?" ["Every time I see this scene, I find myself wishing I'd had a Rickie in tenth grade." -- Sars] Rayanne tells Angela that since she doesn't get obsessed with guys, she doesn't have Angela's problems. The bell rings again, and Angela gets flustered and makes for the door, where she pauses and sees Rickie and Rayanne, not changing their positions in the slightest. Sheepishly, she says, "I mean, I might as well go to Bio, since I'm not all that busy."
