Coincidentally, Lila‘s new group of the Double Ees have been ditching her so she enjoys her old friendship dynamic with Jess. Oddly, Mrs. Pervis is replaced by Hester!

She‘d rather they take a class trip, but no one else likes her idea. She contemplates quitting, but manages to gain her confidence back. Meanwhile, Blue teaches Brian to surf & learns his surfing compadres aren‘t quite as chill or kind as he‘d thought.Barely any twins!
