New Alliances

While taking photos, Zoey is approached by Carter, who complains that Minnie has a new boyfriend, Alex. After meeting up with the girls, Minnie explains that she started dating Alex over the summer. Alex tells the group he has to go for his history class, but as he is walking away Zoey reads his mind and hears him think "These girls are gullible." She tries to tell the others not to trust Alex, but Minnie becomes angry at Zoey trying to tell her what to do and become leader of the group.

Later, Andrea is reading a book when she is approached by Alex, who flirts with her and explains that he is trying to find his history class as he skipped the first day and thus does not know where it is. Andrea is extremely uncomfortable. She goes into a bathroom where she is possessed by Shaygon and has a conversation with herself in the mirror, saying that darkness will rule. After this, she walks down the hallway and is found by Carter, who comforts her and tells her that she isn't alone in feeling like a bad person. Carter tells the story of how she was on a track team in high school and found out one of her teammates, who she considered a friend, was calling her names behind her back. On the day of a big track meet, Carter did something to the teammate that resulted in her kneecap shattering and that girl never being able to compete in track again. The two girls bond over their shared trauma.

Later that night, Minnie sees who she thinks is Alex in the library, but he suddenly transforms into Shaygon, who laughs at her and asks her why she is running away before demanding she hand over her diamond. Minnie flees and finds Andrea, who she tearfully tells about her discovery. Trivia
 * When Alex leaves Minnie to go to his history class, he enters the media building. The scene where Alex flirts with Andrea and says that he can't find his history class takes place in the student union. Neither of these places contain classrooms where history classes are taught. This is likely due to filming availability.
 * A Lime Bike can be seen in the background of one scene. A-State replaced the Lime Bikes with VeoRide Bikes in Fall 2018.
